Fashion Magazines-Here Is For You

Bonjour!!! Its me, Elizabeth Swann, here again. Well, yesterday, as said, Saffwan, Sheiffa and Abidah came over to our house. We were all extra excited yesterday coz Abidah could come along as she could not make it the other time. But we all had fun. The first game we played was Amazing Race, hosted by Saffwan 'Phil' Keoghan and Alia. Well, it got down to the final three, which was me, Sheiffa and Anis. Even though the space was limited, we had lots of fun. We used the indoors as well as the outdoors, the upstairs floor as well as the downstairs floor. Anyways, the winner was ...ME! Surprise, surprise. Actually, during the final game, when I could not find the clue, I almost gave up coz it was so hard to find the clue. Anyways, happy that I won. Next, we played 'Shirbeeni Idol'. Everyone sang two songs each except for me, as I sang one song coz I joined in the last minute as I was watching my Chinese and Korean show. Anywyas, everyone joined, even Alia. We all voted more than 5 times and of coz not for ourselves. In the end, we played one round first and decided unanimously that Saffwan was to win the first round, judging by the vote. What we saw red for Saffwan winning the idol was that all of Alia's vote was for Saffwan. Hahahaha. Funny, right? But of coz Saffwan deserved to win. He was the most enthusiastic. The rest were a bit shy and all but dun worry, there was to be round two.

As I was surprisingly shy, I suggested a different type of game. I wanted to play 'PROJECT RUNWAY'. I liked the game as we have played it before at Saffwan's house when we stayed over. They all agreed. The game was that they are given a number of different colours and type of cloth to drape themselves with and by creating an original, creative and wearable outfit. Of coz, I took photos to post on my blog. Saffwan was the judge. He commented on our 'creative' creations and all of us got to decide who had the most creative design and fashion sense and looked cool. We all had our clothes as a base, but they cloth must really co-ordinate well with our basic attire. The only difference that I did with this game of 'PROJECT RUNWAY' is that I added my own personal assesories to add the 'wow' factor and 'bling' up the whole look. Not only that, they had to do a catwalk first before presenting themselves to the judge for evaluation. Believe me, these were all everyone's own idea and they had five minutes in the room alone to come up with their own designs. This is really their own ideas! Icannot stress how much that is! And judging from yesterday, they all did well. But, of coz, someone has to win. And the winner was......surprise, surprise, ANIS!! Hahahahaha. Many of you would laugh, but we all voted among ourselves and we agreed that his design was the most beautifully-coordinated, it made sense and it was simple. So, like my post heading said, Fashion Magazines Over The World, if you want to look for BUDDING DESIGNERS OR EVEN MODELS, this is the blog/post to look out for. We really have talent here. Haha. I could not fit mine inside this post as they allow maximum 5 photos. Anyways, enjoy the pictures. Let's see who is your favourite.

Hugs and Kisses,

Yesterday- What A Day

Bonjour!! How are you people? Anyways, yesterday we all went to Saffwan's house to play with them and Abidah and Ameerah. We filmed a movie, played the traditional Shirbeeni sport, Rugby. Then, later, we all just sat together and talked. Soon after, Ami Zaid and his whole family came. It was fun and noisy, with all the small kids. But, we can't really blame them, right? Kids are kids.

Then, at night, we all went to Swensens to eat the ice-cream. Another day of fun. I certainly enjoyed myself.


Hugs and Kisses,

Thursday-Rugby Day

Bonjour, its me!! Anyways, after a tiring day yesterday, we went to send Ami Zaid to the airport in the morning at around 9.30 in the morning. After that, we planned to go Saffwan's house as Aunty Sham is goin to Batam the whole day. But, after asking our father, he asked Saffwan and the gang to come to the house. After a few phone calls, Saffwan could come to the house so we went to fetch them. Then, after arriving at the house, we decided to make a mini movie starring ourselves. We came up with the concept of doing a gangster-comedy style of movie. It was hillarious!! We really thought what would be funny and infused it into our movie. After filming, we were quite happy with the results. Our movie was quite well-received, I must say. Hahahaha. We were all natural born actors. Hahahaha. Anyways, we had a blast.

After that, Saffwan decided to play a game of Olympics. It was funny at first, but we all kind of go along with the flow. It was fun, but very tiring and painful. After a while, we decided to switch to our favourite game, which is rugby. This time, we played like we were really in a tournament. We had five different tournaments, and surprisingly, my team won all five tournaments. We also won some 'money'. My group comprises of Me, Sheiffa, Suffyan and Alia versus the boys. It was fun but also very, very painful. I was also not feeling well and was covered in bruises. Our bodies were blue-black all over. Then, at night, after being so tired, we had no energy left so we played a simple game of charades. After a while, they all went home. We had a fun time. Anyways, group picture of the CHAMPIONS!!


Love,

Wednesday-Baking Day!!

Bonjour!! Its me again. Well, continuing from the story again, we decided to make the cake on Wednesday. Around 2.30pm, I went to fetch Sheiffa at the MRT station. Then, we went to shop to open the shop before buying the ingredients for our cake. After that, Imet my mum at Ghim Lee to buy the ingredients for our chosen cake, which is called Rich Chocolate Cake. My mum, Alia, Sheiffa and I went to buy the ingredients and went home. Saffwan came around 5pm, after playing tennis with his cousin. Suddenly, we realised that we were short of certain things and that Abidah, Ameerah and the boys have not come back from the Library yet. We started really, really late. It was later than what we planned.

After what seemed like forever, the gang finally came around 6.30pm. Then, the fun starts. Saffwan and I measured the ingredients while the rest will start prepaing the cake. We divided the team into two, boys-Saffwan, Anis and Aadil and the girls -Me, Ameerah, Sheiffa, Abidah, Akidah and Alia. The oldest girls- Ameerah, Sheiffa and Abidah, made the dough for the cake. Alia and Akidah stirred the chocolate for the flavorings. The boys were to make the chocolate glaze as a topping. I was to bake the cake and made sure everything went smoothly. Then, Sheiffa and Saffwan had to go home becoz the mother were to fetch them. But how to go home when we have not even started baking? Anyways, they went home and we continued baking. After about 40 minutes, the cake was ready. I'm not saying anything, but the cake turned out great!! It was really nice. Not bad for first timers. Our only setback was that the cake turned out to be small. But it was enough to divide between four different families. All those who baked were proud of themselves as the cake turned out good. We called it our mini factory. I took pictures of us working together to produce the cake. Its is being developed. This is what our finished product look like.We had a blast!!
