Filming for a TV programme

I am one of the selected students from my design school to act as a mentor to coach a secondary school student in a Chinese Televison Programme. (I am surprised that the director has choosen me) It's a 13 episode programme, half an hour each which will be aired on Channel 8 between Jan - Feb 2012. I will appear on one of the episodes with Wayneston Bears on the show =)

The filming has taken 3 full days last week, it went smoothly but it's a very tiring process. Although this is not the first time of me appearing on TV (I was on tv last year, maybe i should go find the video to share here), I am still nervous and could'nt sleep for the past few nights. LOL.

I have learnt a lot from these 3 days and met so many new friends =) I think this opportunity is meaningful and enriching, I will share pictures here after the episode is aired.

Are you in the Mood for Christmas?

Yes, I am!!! Definitely, in fact I have already started my shopping last week :p
Erm what are the things i gotta get?? Lemme see... clothes, shoes, watch, bag and maybe more BEARS! LOL...

I am not a big spender, every day after work I will go back home to start sewing bears, blogging and watching dramas... just a very home person. But Christmas is the time that I would really spend for myself, it's the time that I think that I should get what I deserve for working so hard for the year.

Clothes? Yeah, definitely need to get a few of them. I am wearing the same old pattern everyday... I think my colleages are getting bored looking at me wearing the same thing for a year! Hahaha!!!

Shoes? I really need to spend more to get a better pair of shoes. The average costing ones have poor quality soles which wears off easily, it could only last me less than a year! Some are even worst, the skin starts peeling off over time due to rain and shine... I think having a good pair of shoes that can last is very important. I don't really mind spending more than a hundred bucks to get one.

Watch? Yeah... it has been for years since I last have a proper watch which lasted me for 8 years! Too bad it has already RIP, so i gotta get another one soon. The one right now i m wearing cost less than 10 bucks which I bought from bazaar in Thailand, it's cheap and good. I shall keep this wishlist optional.

Bears? Again? Hahaha.... as I have always told my friends, ~ the more the merrier :)
Lately I am kinda crazy over BJD dolls, my favourite ones are Lati and Fairyland dolls... they are just too cute to resist, but the price seems too beautiful for me to afford too... This is optional as well

The Lati, in my wish list, I wish Santa give me this as present =)

Last week, I fulfilled another childhood dream! That is to take picture with Santa! Here's the pic!



Me and Mr Santa, Hohoho!



We are Carollers



I am wearing an outstanding green shirt and shorts, LOL

Last Saturday was fun, I am one of the carollers singing Christmas Songs to club members. It's my first time learning to sing so many Christmas songs! We sang about 10 songs in total, even though the group is small but we manage to make everyone indulge into the feeling of Xmas.

Thanks for reading this today, Do you have any wishlist this Christmas? ^.^



Interesting Articles about Blogging

Hey beary friends! I came across these 2 articles on yahoo news few days ago and would like to share them with you. After reading this it might inspire you to start blogging! =)

1) How Blogging Can Help Your Career http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/How-Blogging-Can-Help-Your-usnews-1758556551.html?x=0

Personally I think this is very true. In the beginning I started blogging to share my passion about my bears. This was just a pure a hobby blog meant for myself, in fact it's a diary for me to look back on how my bears evolve over the years. Till today, I am really surprise that YOU ARE READING MY BLOG, thank you!  =)

Through blogging I have made so many friends of the same interest, having friends from all over the word is REALLY COOL!

I am not a good writer, and I can't speak good english. Thanks for understanding me and I hope my pictures speak a thousand words for me. So friends, if I am doing this, so can you! Start Blogging and I know one day you will many friends to come and I can be your first friend on your blog =)

2) 7 Steps For Building Your Personal Brand Online

I agreed with this article that by leveraging on social media, it would add to our advantage to showcase our work and you never knows who, what, when miracle happens and turns you into a millionaire over night... LOL i am exaggerating

I also believe sharing knowledge with others is a good way to help others as well. It's a cycle like the way I got ideas and inspirations from others and I am passing that on. By sharing, I believe you are getting back more in return.

But I end, remember whatever you said on social media reflect on yourself, once it's done it's really done! Be responsible with what you want to share on your blog because it's going to be seen by everyone over the world. If you know that you are angry and is going to post something that you might regret, please take time to reconsider. Let yourself cool down for a day and rethink if posting something bad on your blog benefits you.
