It&#8217;s probably the only time I&#8217;ll ever find my face in a magazine.<br \/>\nThe picture, however, isn&#8217;t the most ideal as it&#8217;s actually a little blurry. It was, however, the only (somewhat) suitable one I could find among all my photos. And get this, the photo here was taken in Seoul two years ago when I was having tea in a cafe with a friend in the Insadong area of the South Korean capital. It&#8217;s not even recent!<br \/>\nFor one, I don&#8217;t have any good photos taken of myself since returning to Singapore. I hardly take photos in Singapore. Secondly, most of the photos I have of myself in Hong Kong are mostly of me dressed unglamorously in hiking gear &#8211; hardly the sort of image one would want to portray in a magazine that&#8217;s about high fashion, luxe jewellery and obscenely expensive watches. What&#8217;s worse, I wasn&#8217;t even wearing any makeup.<br \/>\nSo I now know the importance of always having on hand a candidly posed shot, if that makes sense. You know, the type of shot where you&#8217;re actually posing for it but yet have to make it look casual, candid and cool? While you&#8217;re at it, you should also make sure you&#8217;re dressed nicely and wearing some makeup before clicking on the shutter. You never know when you might need such a photo!<br \/>\nThe vainpot and bimbo in me is totally regretting not being prepared for such a situation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the April issue of L&#8217;Officiel (Singapore edition), I have made a cameo appearance in the Contributors page in my capacity as sub-editor of the magazine.
