I HATE, LOATHE and absolutely DETEST being the focus of any attention. People would think that would be weird, as the youngest, I should be like craving attention, right? BUT maybe probably because too many people are always crowding me that I SO don't like the attention. Dad used to be a part-time photographer, and full-time camera-crazy. To get his fix, it seems like every other night would be spent taking photos of us his kids. I mean, yah yah proud parents and all. But we have freaking albums and albums and even more albums of pictures from me & sis' childhood. One particular photo that my parents found particularly amusing was one of me absolutely scowling to the camera after I threw a tantrum and had totally refused to be taken a picture of. To me, that was the epitome of exactly what I felt always being photographed! Even now all grown up, I'd rather not take a picture all by my lonesome self.
However, there seems to be a conspiracy plaguing me to always push me to be the focus. Throughout my life as a student, had always been the unlucky one to represent school, to always appear on stage. I should be used to it, rights? Kind of. As long as I'm prepared, I can face up to an auditorium full of people, no sweat. When I'm prep of course.
The point being...???
I was selected for some makeover photography thing as an esprit member. Shouldn't have gone, right since I hate being photographed and all. But being a kiasu Singaporean, thought why not since it's free.
1st things first, a friend who was supposed to accompany me, bailed out. And then the second! Well, fine! Then, when I reached there, found that I would be made up right in the middle of Raffles City atrium where lotsa people are walking about, and even more can see from the few floors up! So circled the atrium a few time, wanting to bail out myself. Then thought that would be rude and whatever else. It was by appointment only, and by agreeing to attend, someone else had lost a place.
So yeah I did it. All the while fidgeting so much in the makeup chair, in painful consciousness of all the eyes watching, that the makeup artist asked if I was in a hurry to go somewhere. Heh. Then, makeup done, had to do the photography. Apparently I was the last person for the session, so all the staff were also watching on. The cameraman asked why my smile was so icily frozen. Haha. Easy for him, the-one-behind-the-lens, to say. :P
Still wanna see the product? SIGH. Fine, look up Nia's album. Too bad if you don't know how. And I won't say which folder. And no, the latest picture is not featured on the folder.
Oh yah, and if anyone wants a BeautyBox discount, $88 instead of $208 for a personal makeover session, contact me yah. First come, first served.
