MPH Young Writers Photoshoot

A taste of fame...photoshoots...

Frankly, I was very suprised when MPH gave me a call (during Maths, mind you) and asked me to go for a photoshoot. Apparently, they had a photoshoot that spanned over 3 days at different locations, and finally, after a while of trying to find a proper timing that did not clash with String Ensemble practice, I settled on Tuesday. (chance to ponteng...Wakaka...)

Well, being "punctual", Mom and I reached Midvalley at 9, when all the shops were still closed, prompting us to kill time in McDonalds before going for the photoshoot.

Man, when they said make up and hairdo, they MEANT it.

Immediately after I changed, someone ushered me to Bobbi Brown (I actually thought it was some fast food thingy, like Mary Brown...) but it turned out to be some cosmetics shop. And well, you guys know me well enough, I NEVER go for make-up sessions. Frankly, I felt really weird, sitting there and getting my face powdered...*sneeze*

And well, as if that wasn't bad enough, the moment I got back, someone else promptly took me off for a "hairdo" several floors higher, at A Cut Above. Wow, that's a place I've never ever thought of entering before! I mean, my usual haircut costs about 7 bucks, at a room behind a dobi..........

(mental note to self: A cheap shop behind the dobi can really be much better)

My hair was...*speechless*...

Put it this way, with that hair, I can audition for Simba in Lion King and probably get the part too.

That's it...I'm so NOT going to get the next edition of Quill...can't bear to see it...hehe...

Anyway, it turned out that it wasn't just a photoshoot for the Young Writers. Most of the people there for the photoshoot were actually REAL LIFE authors!!! You know, the kind who has published thick novels, etc...

There were only 3 Young Writers there, Deborah, Darrel, and me; all of which were the contributing authors t0 Rewind, Fast Forward (oh ya..go buy that book...hehe...)

And the thing is, everyone who approached us asked us the same first question: So what book did you write? It was really awkward to be asked, and talked to like an equal by these authors (ok, fine, I'm usually in awe of authors...) By the end of the day, the three of us had prcatically rehearsed the "oh, I'm not an author, I'm one of the MPH Young Writers...etc etc..." speech.

Finally came the photoshoot. Man, I have no idea how those famous people do it; its so uncomfortable to pose like we're talking, or looking at the Rewind, Fast Forward books or whatever. Ok, I'm getting really lazy to elaborate...it was just an awkward, yet hilarious hassle (we were not accustomed to acting "natural")

It was only after they got enough shots all around MPH that I could finally smooth down my "mane", and dive into the pile of books just begging to be read.

Oh well, it was a good experience anyway...=)

Us three Young Writers, as well as three Authors...
