Get Set， 就走！Photoshoot Behind-the-Scenes PART II - THE CARPARK SCENE

Get Set， 就走！Photoshoot Behind-the-Scenes PART II...
i was brought to the a rooftop carpark.

Very pampered by my stylist Chin and hairstylist Evande.

Wardrobe courtesy of Agnes B and Dr Martens!

I had a superman cape and had to twirl around the carpark,

while maintaing a cool expression on my face. 

Modelling ain't easy yo.

Next was the railing shots.

I gotta thank Micky Wong my photographer for risking his life for the perfect shot, 

really admired his professionalism at work! 

And mind you the chair he was stepping on was spoilt..

The shoot continued late into the night..

I actually changed into another set of outfit, 

but we gave up because the lighting was just not suitable..

I have to say i'm in love with the end product :) 

You can find these shots in my EP!

Can't wait for my next album shoot!! 

Get Set， 就走！Photoshoot Behind-the-Scenes PART I - THE BEDROOM SCENE

Preparing for an EP photoshoot is like preparing for a wedding shoot,
there's simply too many things for a girl to do!!

I'm going to go into bimbo-mode, i swear it's tough being a girl.
Thanks to all my sponsors i got it easier!

Weeks before the shoot,
I had a hair makeover by my awesome hairstylist Evande from Shunji Ion,

I sat in the salon for an entire afternoon, 

and did everything i could possibly do with my hair; 

cut, colour, treatment, perm, wash, blow dry!!

My first time perming, and it was a rather conjested feeling hahaha

Days before a pampering mani/pedi session at Manicurious, 

I was so afraid of any form of facial breakouts,
i made sure i had my face soaked in nourishing mask-goodness every single night before sleeping,
i think it worked!

I also did some research on how to reduce bloatedness in the morning, 

so this was what i had on the morning of the shoot -

oatmeal cookies, green tea & banana! 

I have no idea how whether it worked but i was also told black coffee helps! 

Location - The very chic boutique Kam Leng Hotel

My wardrobe assistant diligently steaming away...

 The makeup begins with the magic hands of 

Ros my makeup artiste & evande my hairstylist!

The mess before the proper shoot began..

Here's Chin my stylist with Micky my photographer, 

discussing about the art direction before the shoot...

Little and Daphne from my PR company LIKES COMMUNICATION, 

standing in as DJs, blasting my song away to create the right mood!! 

Surveying the battleground..

First shoot location of the day - On the bed!! 

Chin's teaching me how to give a puzzled out-of-bed 

GET SET 就走 look! 

More tutorials? hahaha

Getting ready for my first ever bed scene...

Cameras.. GET SET, go!

Yea now you know, i wasn't naked! 

One of the unrevealed footages..

i honestly loved this outfit!

Crazyworld Showcase Afterthoughts.. ［其实我。。。］后续（：

*Warning: A mega of post ahead!

I had a such a great first ticketed showcase a week back at Crazyworld Cafe,

that i don't even know where to begin. 

I was having trouble sleeping a few nights before my show, 

cos there were so many things on my mind - 

song sequence, song selections, weaving a content around the show, 

scripting what i'll say, rehearsals, marketing and ensuring people turn up for the show etc.etc.

Thankfully, i had the help of Edgar and Florence (owners of the awesome cafe),

who not only designed the beautiful poster, 

but also helped a lot in marketing my show, 

organizing twitter contests for tickets giveaway (: 

Not forgetting my trusty team of trio - Daphne, Pei Pei & Little, 

who stayed with me for a few hours straight at crazyworld one night, 

discussing and kickstarting my planning for the show.. LOVE!!

It was just overwhelming for a newbie like me, 

and i would often find myself imagining what it'll be like during showday, 

rehearsing the lines to myself while i'm alone driving, lying on my bed in the middle of the night.

I was serious about making the show a great one!! 

And i didn't want to reveal its content to anyone close to me, 

because i really wanted to keep it a surprise, 

especially to those whom i was going to talk about in my show. 

Nights before, i started to come down with a bad sore throat :( 

Thank god for mummy's love (: 

 Heartwarming pear soup，

妈妈炖的雪梨汤！！润喉又好好喝！

［其实我。。］真的很高兴能让大家认识郑可欣（：

I was extremely encouraged by the fullhouse,

and the long queue outside the cafe before show started.

It was truly a turnout unexpected (: 

Everyone who came to my show received a nametag! 

I started off the show with a positive note,  

singing my first mandarin single from my upcoming EP - “勇敢证明” (: 

This was a song that i wrote shortly after i quit my job, 

and that point of time i was lost, and afraid of stepping out into the unknown. 

So it was written to motivate myself, 

as can be seen in the bridge section of the lyrics "整颗心（郑可欣），let it show!", 

and i hope this goes on to inspire all others to go after their passion (: 

I went on to share about the very beginnings, 

where i took the stage with my dear friend Jessica in a singing competition during our jc days. 

We were fondly known as 153.5, and successfully clinched 1st for the singing category!
(Read more about how i started here) 

 Signed, sealed delivered by Stevie Wonder,

my first ever song sung on stage (:

I also shared about my family, 

and how they had a huge influence towards my love for singing (: 

I love my sister, 

but i've always had a huge problem...

people just can't stop mistaking us for each other!! 

So, to address my frustrations and to put a stop to all these, 

i did a spoof... of kewei's song!! 

The highlight came after (unknowingly), 

when i invited kewei up on stage to do a duet with me (: 

We did the song 踮起脚尖爱 by 洪佩于，

because we recently recorded a youtube of it, 

and also because the song reminded me of the experience i had at SuperIdol PK

where i met 洪佩于 herself.

I didn't expect her to come up and say so much about me, so i was really very touched.

I tried very hard not to tear but we still gave in at the end!

The road has indeed been difficult for me because of our resemblance, 

but i honestly never blamed her for it.. 

I guess i can only prove my singing abilities with time.. 

For now, i'm just grateful i can live my dreams with the support of my dear family (: 

I also shared my thoughts on love during the show, 

and when the time came to wrap up, 

i ended off the set with a passion-filled rendition of 热情的沙漠！！

Kudos to my musicians who did the manly grunts!!

Thank you to my fantastic musicians for the great accompaniment!! 

A singer is indeed nothing without her musicians! 

Introducing Matt on keys, Melvin on bass and Daniel on percussion!!

Daniel's also a professional photographer who took my poster picture! 

My team from Sparkle who came to support! 

Friends i travelled around US with (: 

Thank you both for coming!! 

Thanks for the gifts from my favouritest people in the world (: 

 And evon, socky etc for the LOVEEE!!

And all others who came, 

i wish i could talk to you more and thank you personally for the support! 

Thank you for making my show a success, 

I can't wait to see you all at my EP launch next month!! 

An Intimate Showcase at CrazyWorld Cafe［其实我。。。］

其实我。。。

我，时而浪漫，

在幸福洋溢的婚礼上，用歌声献上祝福。

我，时而过动，

在热闹喧哗的小酒吧，分享我的音符。

我，时而叛逆，

不服从朝九晚五，只相信音乐应该不受束缚。

《其实我，》就是我。

我是郑可欣。
