Southern Gazette 2nd May 2006

Do you still remember I mentioned about the interview with local paper in my previous post?

YES!!! It is OUT NOW!!!!!!!
It is AWESOME!!


and… It is ME!!! in the FRONT COVER!!! =)
Everytime I say this, I feel like so David Brent from The Office (UK). Hehe.. 

 

I am just too excited!! It is my first time in my life happen that my face in the front page of local paper in Perth. In the past, since I was a little girl, my name will only appear in the middle page of local paper..tiny little printing. Black and white. Nothing really fancy. Just those prices from all sort of competitions. I can’t remember much. Nah! Very shy Nothing really proud to be mentioned.

The last time my name appeared in local Sin Chew Jit Poh was when my grandma past away…Yeah, you know Chinese likes those things. =)

I am soooo excited. This picture was taken in my house. Believe or not, it took us 1 hour++ for a simple shoot like this. 

The photographer was so fussy, he wanted me to ‘laugh’. What? It was early 9′O clock in the raining morning, and I was sick–blocked nose, blocked ears and blocked brain. And he wanted me to laugh and throw the Red Ribbons in the air??? Hehe.. Now can complain lah, cause my picture is already out what!! =)

At that point of time, I wish Robert was there, telling me The Office, David Brent’s kinda joke..and Rodney was the photographer.

 

If you live around my area, can you please help me to collect this copy, please? I want to send a copy for my mum and dad. =)

Wah lau! I wonder if there is anyone will acknowledge me when I jog in the park. I damn shy one, you know. *ahem*

One word to describe my mood at this moment: SHIOK!!!!!!
