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 ...
