Ugly Duckling

Had a mini-makeover done this Feb ... Peeling nose, sunburnt shoulders, visible bikini lines, etc ... The after-effect from 3 full days of lazing by the hotel pool in Batam certainly do not make up the X-factor required in front of the camera ... However, my photos at http://brandon.zenfolio.com/ turn out to be the 2nd most viewed among the 32 albums that Brandon, the up&coming freelance photographer, has uploaded ...

It is outta this world that I have ever thought of getting a makeover ... The beautiful photos at friends weddings always make me go ooooohhhhhh ... After the viewing, I'd always wonder how will my wedding pictures turn out to be like and eeeekkkkkk!!! ... It usually ended up with a stronger conviction that I'd never have my wedding pictures taken ... As confident as I can be sometimes, I would never dreamed of posing in front of the camera ... The result??? ... I was beyond recognition to my own eyes ...

Recently, I was flattered when a Lebanese male colleague (a very hardwoking & simple person) commented that I would look good at photo shoot ... I was lost for words ah ... Can an ugly duckling can really turn into a swan? ... It's like a fairy tale come true ...

I'm glad to have given it a try ... That's my memories of my youth ... Soon, mother nature will be taking over ... At least I have some lovely pictures to show my grandchildren, if any ... Hee hee ...

Any comments are welcome at http://brandonchang.multiply.com/ ... Brandon, when's my next photo shoot? ... Hee hee ...

Fated to be FOS

Wah ha ha ... It's all fated ... Wondering what am I talking about? ... I mean my blog's nick ... I was trying to think of what name I should have for this blog address ... Couple of them came to my uncreative mind: Cho Bo Amy, Bo Chap Amy, Lang Lui Amy, Siao Lang Amy, etc ... I was in a crazy but moody mood then ... Finally, I've decided upon the very name that Michelle Wong (my ex-manager from OMD) has always used on me: Amy FOC ... FOC, in short for Full Of Crap ... Short and Sweet eh? ...

Well, I always thought I was a quiet gal in my younger days thus I was always puzzled why she always said I'm FOC ... I did crack some jokes on & off back then ... Still scratching my head how I earned that title ah ...

Alright, wanna know how it ended up to be AmyFOS instead? ... I was trying to get the chosen name AmyFOC registered ... Sad enough, it was rejected ... They gave me alternatives, of cos ... And guess what? ... You are right! ... How coindental it could get ... They suggested I have the name AmyFOS!!! ... That immediately bring to mind of my other title (yes, given by Michelle as well): FOS, in short for Full Of Sai ... Wah ha ha ...

Well, over the years, I have somehow built up a reputation in this area ... I still can't believe I can be one ah ... Ha ha ha ... Further to that, I just had a really bad case of food poisoning in July which lasted for about 10 days ... That incident certainly have strengthened my reputation of being Full Of Sai ah ... Hee hee ... So I guessed I'm permanently stuck with this name ah ...

In the meantime, I ask for you to sit back, relax and enjoy my future blogs ah ... Hee hee ...
