Recommended by both the last BP organiser and my friend (adv by NZ sales when she buy from there) is UMF10 for kids. For Adult UMF 15+ / UMF20+ is good enough.

doobom,
why you suddenly want to know abt the 7 wonders? want to conquer them?hehe.. yeah, the list got too long ad they start to categorised them. When i was young i was told abt these 7 wonders. I think these wonders are the so called ancient wonders and still exisit till today.

1) pyramid in Giza
2) great wall in China
3) borobudor in Indonesia
4) taj mahal in India
5) Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy
6) Great Barrier reef in Australia
7) Coloseum in Rome, Italy

I also heard of Eifel tower in Paris, Statue to Liberty in US, etc but I guess these are the modern an made wonders

I've read wikipedia, actually the original 7 wonders started in mediteranean rim. Hanging Garden of Babylon is one of them and so is the Temple of Zeus. After that people start looking at other wonders of the world and start categorizing them like, nature wonders, man made wonders (buildings, etc) because there are simply too marvels in these world!

i also read Great Barrier reef, grand canyon, niagara falls,etc are the nature wonders of the world.
 
morning all

hi mummies,
my assesment finally over! yoohoo.. was so tired, the wednesday night i slept at 4.30am! and then woke up at 7am cos Aria woke up around that time. Hubby was very nice to arrange to bring her out for exercise so that i can concentrate on my work. Really biah from 7am till almost 5pm! In between took break to take lunch only.. Thank God managed to finish all the works. My fashion design lecturer likes my illustrations and my flat drawings (technical drawings on the garment)! Yay! And i think the panel like my work too.. I'm so glad! They are all so proud of me knowing that I have 2 pregnancies in during the 4 years course and they can see the determination in me
happy.gif


Anyway, I really did tried my best
happy.gif
No regrets! The only semester that I slack was after aria was born and I have to breastfeed her. That semester was really tiring and i skipped soo many classes!!
 
re: 7 wonders,

junnie & tiffy,

jovial... thks 4 the honey info again, will go try out when i com across manuka bp/outlet..
 
chersam,
i procrastinate for soo many years before i decided to take up the course because it's a huge commitment - 4 years course and the course fee not cheap (total $16K - $2K per semester)! ..haha..so, in the end, i just told myself, JUST DO IT! If i never step my foot in it, i will never start. I told myself if i really failed, at least i tried but i better give my best shot at it. Else, I'll will really regret for the rest of my life. That's how I persevere for so long
happy.gif
At some point i really felt like giving up especially after Aria was borned because of family pressure. You know, God made a way for me somehow..
happy.gif
 
junnie,
yaloh.. really need to "an xing yang tai" and "bu" a bit.. when i carried aria at least i started taking birds nest when i was 4th month into pregnancy. For this one, I didn't take any so far!
 
oh forgot to update that last monday i went for my 28th week scan. didi is weighing at 1.2 kg liao. next check up another 3 weeks.

my boss started to unload my work load liao, i'll try to eat better n rest more for this 3rd trimester!
 
Mummies,
Here you go. More pictures will be uploaded in my FB account later when i'm free

The hair took me ages to paint when i first learn how to paint using a pen tool in photoshop! Took me 4-5 hours. The beehive hair took me 3-4 hours because I had to paint every single strand and touch up here and there. What a nightmare but I'm glad the effectis good
happy.gif

The long hair model was the first to be painted and it really took me a long time - 12 hours almost non stop!! the hair almost made me crazy and my hand ache like nothing cos i just started to learn the pen tool.. after that it got better and my hand no longer so aching..

The other 2 i play cheat on the hair. It's look quite similar cos i used a stamp tool to copy!! hahaha... become smarter after that.. so, painting the hair towards the end is not so time consuming anymore

my hb was telling me that tomolo sherry will meet all kor kor n jie jie.hahaha i told him no lah, still have 2 didi(yz n anders)

ecookie,
u where got FT. saw ur photo in ur blog, so slim leh. No FT at all. no prob,u carry sherry n i carry yz but hor nowaday sherry seldom let others carry ever since she can recognise people. see ur luck tomolo hor.hehehe

junnie,
tomolo i shall see how tall is ecookie. me only average height.
 
aria,

you drew that?! WOW! simply amazing! and really pei fu your determination. I wasn't that hardworking when I studied. kekeke

re: 7 wonders
I don't remember they taught in school leh. maybe I forgot. :p
 
ecookie,
got lar! i came up to u & asked abt yz (tat time yz was unwell & recovered in time to attend the bash). OMG, u forgotten me liao. booboo...

aria jo,
the course I'm lookin at also cost abt 16k. i afraid i give up halfway lor, heartpain to waste $$ leh. WOW! ur works are NICE!!!!

chintz,
eat & rest, eat & rest ya!
 
thanks mummies for your compliments
happy.gif


yeah, i drew it myself first, scan it in and paint using photoshop. honestly speaking, i copied the models from a few famous illustrators. i took certain design elements and style from there and mix and match myself
happy.gif
the only thing i do is to imagine how my garment drape on this model and the shadowing...
 
chersam,
thanks for your compliments. you know what, that was one of my top concern too but once you're in it, you just keep telling yourself that you will persevere. my most top concern then was the length of 4 years and how intensive the lessons were. i still remember my second semester was 6 days class per week! that was a nightmare!

chintz,
thanks for the compliments again
happy.gif
yeah, a professional diploma fashion course is really not easy. many people thought (and so was i initially) that i like design and draw clothes and so i want to enroll in the school but later when they found out that they actually need to sew, need to draft, need to prepare many types of boards for the fashion design module, need to write papers for marketing modules, etc, a lot of students drop out half way. For fashion design module alone, we have to come out with 5 different boards. I've only show you all 2 of them. I still have the moodboard, colorboard and the fabric board. Sometimes, we even have to do customer profile board but luckily no need for the final year project.
 
ariajo, thumbs up!
i remember last time a lot of my friends, dropped their graphic design and went to sign up for fashion design, and then dropped out again after 2 semesters hahahha
 
chintz,
haha...i think any design course is tough. i saw how architecture students in my hostel during uni days burned midnight oil every single night just to rush our their assignments.. really kudos to them..
 
haha..i realise something, i should say the thing that i do is following their style of illustrations (mixed and match body parts and makeup and hairstyle) but I still paint the way i wanted, the hair, the makeup, the fabric layout, the shadowing, etc..
happy.gif
cannot disregard my hardwork here. :p
 


ariajo, and me and my friends were saying, next time not to allow our children to study design anymore. poor health + no life :p
