PRINA school trip to the Eriko Cup was awesome. It was an enriching experience for my students.<br />
<br />
Then in Aug we had the SG50 N.A.I.L.S Festival... My amazing team made the event a big big success, bringing our little dot to an international platform.<br />
<br />
This year, despite all the travelling, I managed to have time for my family and my bunnies. And even started working on something that I've always wanted!!! Thank you every single one who made 2015 so eventful!

<br />
<br />
Itz days like these, that one stops and reflects on why the heart always feel sore thinking about him.
I can't say for others; But my own inner pangs of regret formed when i began to know the full extend of how misunderstood he was....
I was one of many, whom gradually came to know about his 24/7 commitment, his never failing love for our country… Like his never-failing love and devotion for his wife.<br />
<br />
We might never agree fully with his actions or decisions; like how we might not agree with our parent's or grandparent's version of love via nagging, scolding, threatening, forcing, restrictions, curfews, canning, etc the list goes on...
We might never understand fully the logic of "tough love". Why it is necessary?
Why so rigid, why so heartless, why so fierce, why so cruel...? We end up resentful of every single thing done & said.<br />
<br />
We do not see the love in these "cruel inhumane" actions.
It is only, when faced with the hash realities of life, that we realised, that the world is even more inhumane. Countries outside of Singapore, they are indeed so different.
It is only when faced with a comparison, that we appreciate this logic of "tough love".<br />
<br />
Appreciation for the "inhumane" growing up process develops. The "tough love" had equipped me with the ability, to withstand whatever shit that life throws; coz no one owes us a living, not our leaders, not even our parents.<br />
<br />
Only problem...
I knew it only too late...
I knew about the things Mr LKY did only AFTER he passed. And I never ever got the chance to even say a simple thank you… many of us never did say that before he passed.
In fact, attitudes expressed towards him, were the total opposite of "thanx or appreciation or grateful".<br />
<br />
He had passed on with all these negative words and feelings and misunderstanding, from the people he spent his whole life for.
My heart rant complains to him, why didn't he say all these works..? Why didn't he explain all these misunderstandings?<br />
<br />
My heart knows the simple answer to this rant... because no one would believed. Even if he does say, explain or share. No one would believe.
And knowing Mr LKY, he did not do it bcoz he wants any thanx from us.
Like a stubborn grandpa, whom you buy him a gift of appreciation, would end up rejecting it coz I duno why...<br />
<br />
And because of this simple reason. We all bear the heart-burnt of letting this great man passed-on, without him seeing "live" the depth of our thanx and appreciation.
He left not knowing.
If only that morning... it was not his coffin being driven through the streets in the rain. But him sitting in a car...<br />
<br />
Alive and knowing that every single of of us that lined the streets that raining day, had hearts filled to the brim and overflowing with thanx and gratitude. Alive and hearing the silent cries of sorry in our hearts, sorry for not knowing earlier.<br />
<br />
But it was not so... We did not get a chance to say what we wanted to say before he passed. And we would never ever know, if he heard or saw what happened from above after he passed.
This pain in the heart stays.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it stays to act like as a constant reminder to each and everyone of us, to continue our best to take care of Singapore.
That should be whatr LKY would want to see... instead of just saying "Thank You".
I don't think a thank you suffices anyway...<br />
<br />
Would do our best to take care of Singapore, so that your efforts do not go down the drain. And your legacy would be our solid foundation to grow and become better in the next 50 years. #thankyouMrLee #Happy92thBirthdayxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11002609843451824490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401984065661450161.post-41415286298688112902015-09-15T16:26:00.000+08:002015-09-16T19:11:07.323+08:00#rachelfacemaskhistory<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love to wear a mask... think I got this habit after staying in Japan for so many years... The only place on earth that I can wear a mask without anyone thinking I am weird. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Started coz I'm always mistaken as a "China-Chinese"... nothing wrong with that, but about 20 years ago, the Japanese does not exactly welcome the Chinese race. In fact, it was an outright dislike. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My "China Chinese face" gave me a quite bad experience in those days. Itz like getting the door-slammed-in-your-face type of treatment from every single Japanese. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of coz, once they "realised" that I am Singaporean, they would usually treat me 360° different. But usually, it would never get to that stage. I would need to open my mouth to say something in English for them to realise. And usually, the rudeness and slamming of the door happens before I can go close enough to open mouth to say anything. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't know it was bcoz of my face.... until I started wearing a face mask. I started to notice the difference. They do not have the same reaction as if I'm not wearing a face mask.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a disgusting realization, but it made my life easier too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guess my eyes looks "normal"... and my "chi-na" face is covered up, so no one can tell I'm not Chinese if I dun open mouth to speak. Lol~ </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, thatz how I started liking to wearing a face mask. It is to avoid being treated like a cockroaches and being despised. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of coz things got better as we grow older... and your perspective of life and confidence grow with your age and "life-lessons".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do not need to hide behind the face mask to avoid being judged and mistreated. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, nowadays, donning the face mask gives me a chance to not be recognized.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So i can take a breather from the expectations to behave in a certain way that our roles in the "norms" of society that we are supposed to conformed to. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My race, age, status, gender, religion, image, etc. all these become the invisible reflections people perceived us to be... and what seemed to me, as my small "very-Rachel" actions, would sometimes traumatized those around me if I'm not careful. It is simply hilarious to me at times... #amusingmuch</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wearing a mask in Japan, it comforts me... I become invisible, people do not look at me when I'm wearing a mask, people do not know me when I'm wearing a mask... I can be myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ps/ I have a whole 'collection' of masks! Even the disposable ones comes in my types, shapes and sizes. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My lovely Judges from Japan~ Ms Kaneko, representative from the Japan Nailist Association (JNA) & Eriko. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">It was a long day for everyone as judging started as soon as the first floor competition ended at 11+am. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Judges worked very hard that day! よくやりました~~</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The judging criteria is according to professional nail competitions.

This year's nail demo on stage was crazy!! St James's tech team did not set up the live feed as promised... I think that caused my in-charge and tech team to freak out! They were running around like ants on hot bricks... How to settle in such a short notice??!! How is everyone going to see the demo~ So in the end, the girls were invited on stage to see what Eriko & I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The stage became free-entry for everyone to gather around to see the nail art. Extra privileges for all our visitors. Very quickly, Eriko & I was surrounded.</div>

I was very ambitious and challenged to finish 5 nails on stage. In the end, I managed to finish the nail art for four nails.<br />
<br />
These crazy sharp nails are called Stilettos Nails. It aims to elongate the fingers.<br />
<br />
Somewhat similar to the nails seen on the Empress Dowagers in those old time dramas! Lol~ Not very practical for modern lifestyle. My model who came do do her nails 2 nights before, had trouble typing on her smartphone, and removing her contact lens. The Express Dowager don't have iphone~~<br />

Eriko did a Japanese style sweet sakura nails. I did a Russian style nail art that I picked up on my trip to St Petersburg earlier this year.<br />
<br />
Glad that everyone who came got to learn 2 new styles of nails. Wanted to do something different from Eriko so that you girls get to learn different techniques... Glad all turn out as I imagined. I hope that you girls enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was like a déjà vu of the stage time with Eriko during the Pink Party Bash in 2013. I'll dig out some photos to #throwback soon!~</div>

For weeks prior to August 2nd~ the team worked non-stop to prepare for the event. Everyone from the front desk crew, to the marketing team, to the managerial level~~ so much planning was done. I'm so happy that everything went as planned. <b><span style="color: #ff3399;">辛苦大家了</span></b>~! I think it's just the 10 of us... and we managed to put through this whole event. </div>

At 6am, my team was already at the event location - St James Power House. In a short 2-3 hours before the PinkRoom Cup registration started, every thing was ready in place. Tables ready, even with pink table cloth~ chairs for the competitors & their models. The banners, standees, directions, everything!</div>

By 9am, PinkRoom Cup competitors started streaming in to register.<br />
<br />
Started to see so many familiar faces appearing. Some took part in the past PinkRoom Cup too... even with the same nail models. Through times like this, you'll see the people who are really supportive of you.</div>

By 10am~ everyone was in place. All set and ready for the competition. Ganbatte! がんばって!<br />
<br />
Throughout the years, I've been nagging/advising/encouraging my students to take part in competitions. Only through nail competitions, a nailist will be able to challenge herself and bring her nail skills to a different level.<br />
<br />
The anxiety, "kan-cheong-ness", & of course the sense of achievement is different from passing an examination (hmm. yar, even though PinkRoom exam abit hard to pass). But let me tell you, it's all worth it! Especially if you put in your 110%, and get an award! That trophy will be a reminder of all your hard work.<br />

So excited to see all of them!! Our team made special arrangements to pick each one of them from the airport. To & fro multiple trips to the Changi Airport #notcomplaining #anythingfortheVIPs<br />

Drove pass the NDP rehearsals~ and they were in awe by the sea of red and the majestic scale of the whole parade. One united nation~ at that point.... apart from the hot Sun, I feel a huge sense of patriotism.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 15th day marks the first full moon after the Spring Festival and of the New Year, also known as yuán xiāo jié meaning "first night of the full moon". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The day is as well known as Lantern Festival day. Another reunion dinner is held with lanterns and oranges being a large part of the celebrations. It is customary to eat special sweet dumplings called yuanxiao resembling the shape of the full moon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Yuanxiao are also called tāngyuán (Traditional Chinese: 湯圓, Simplified Chinese: 汤圆 ) or tāngtuán (Traditional Chinese: 湯團, Simplified Chinese: 汤团). Tāngyuán literally means "round balls in soup", tāngtuán translates to "round dumplings in soup". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During this festival lanterns are displayed, at times as lantern fairs, and children are carrying lanterns to temples. The festival is associated with guiding lost and ill bred evil spirits home, while celebrating and cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the higher beings as they are believed to be responsible for bringing and returning the light each year. </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Having been travelling "quite a bit" (like at least once a month to places like Russia, Japan, Korea, USA, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Italy, just to name a few) around the world these past years, I've come to seriously appreciate, what a big difference our tiny Singapore had to not be wiped out into oblivion. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The difference was... in the generations before i was even born, when the world was in turmoil with rebuilding after the WW2, with communists threatening to dominate our region, with the cold war btw 2 big powers, with so many so many uncertainties... Our difference was, we have Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his team, and our pioneer generation of Singaporean. All whom without, we would really be very "game-over" long time ago.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had seen many countries with more natural resources, more intelligent leaders, more hardworking people, more favourable conditions; struggling with many issues that we take very for granted here in Singapore. Even in the present "peaceful no communists" days like now, many are facing very basic necessities issues.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Just my personal opinion. If one have what it takes, to take up the responsibility, to ensure those he cares for, have jobs, have homes, have an education, have a place to build a family and keep safe... he has my utmost respect and love. Like a father in a way...</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Like my father, who despite the fact that he can choose to live a "life of freedom". He can choose to not work the long hours to support the family. He can choose to spent the money which belongs to him on more luxury items, on more tour around the world, etc.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He do not owe it to me to need to spent his money and time and effort to ensure I am who I became... which he did, bcoz he is my dad. His blood flows in me, so maybe somehow that makes him "obligated".</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thus, it is all the more hard, for someone who is not even related in anyway, to do what a father would do. Not for one child, but for a whole generation of children for the entire nation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Like most fathers in early generation, love and hugs and sweet nothings are not part of the "father's package"... the usual package is harsh discipline, more harsh discipline. But nonetheless the commitment and love is no less. I am thankful for this harsh discipline, it takes much more of a father's love to be harsh, then to be nice and "care bear hugs" type of love.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">No one likes a harsh father, he becomes the most hated enemy number one in my life for many many of my earlier years. I would never know the true value of this harsh discipline if I had not went outside Singapore. If I had not been able to compare and see out of what I had taken for granted for in my tiny Singapore.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is tiny. But it is my home. A safe home. Where I can be who I want to be, without having to worry that the color of my skin or race would disadvantage me from getting a full education and job opportunities, without worry of death and danger from corrupted government and police. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is a very comfortable home. And I thank my father.... and our many fathers... and the father of our nation Mr Lee Kuan Yew. For the commitment to our future, in the generations before me. Whatever is done right or wrong, it is done for the intention to provide us for a good and better future. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So one should truly keep quiet if u do not agree with all matters the previous generation did. Just like you do not agree with all matters your parents done, they are still your parents. And it does not kill to keep the negatives words to yourselves. What good would those negative words do? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Everyone's life would end. And a simple "thank you" for even the most little thing to appreciate before he goes...would be a better ending to his contributions to us. You would not know if someone else can do a better job. So just "thank you" and just flush all the negative shit down the toilet into history.</span></div>

It had been great exposure for myself and it was a joy to see different styles of nail art done by people, their concepts and ideas behind the designs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Asia Nail Festival is an annual event held by Japan Nail Association (JNA) that takes place in Osaka, Japan. It is a large nail event in Japan, where 18,000 or more nail lovers gather. This event introduces top manicurists; local and from overseas, and features a popular competition 'Asian Cup'. There were also other booths introducing the latest nail products.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was invited to judge at the Nail Cup Competition and it was a great honor for me as only exclusive nail experts were invited to judge in a Japan nail competition. The above photo was taken during the judges' meeting at the competition. Each of the judges had to be briefed before the competition to ensure fair judging. The category I judged for was for manicurists who have taken part and won in the top 3 prizes in previous competitions. So you can imagine their high standards. I was pretty impressed!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During the break time, I had the chance to look at the other categories and competition that was happening... making mental notes that was be helpful for the next Pink Room Cup Competition.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been thinking, what would it be like to bring our students here for the competition. Would any one be game enough to take up the challenge? There is an unspoken standard that Japanese nailists has the best nail art and most updated with new trends and techniques. But I feel, we have many awesome nailists on our sunny island too! (^.^)/*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Look at the number of competitors! It wasn't a easy feat for the judges as we had to look and judge every set of nails. Everyone's work was impressive. They must have put in a lot of time and practice to be able to achieve this results. Like saying goes, practice makes perfect. LOL~~ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I felt a moment of deep patriotism when I saw the Singapore flag hanging high at the Asia Nail Festival. I was proud to be the first and only Singaporean representing our country as an International Judge. It was definitely an instagram-worthy photo. I can't help it. Haha~ I was probably the only judge who was taking photos through out the event, cus i wanted to share the behind the scene with my readers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In class, my students always asked what it's like at an overseas competition. Or even what it's like to be judging. And of course, how I managed to become a judge? Well, I'll share more stories in time to come. </span></div>

<br />
I am really really touched that so many of our graduates and students actually make time for the charity event. To the extend of applying leave from work! #super感动 to see everyone get together for a good cause. The event was a great success thanks to everyone of you!<br />
<br />
To show our appreciation, PinkRoom organized a party to reward everyone who had worked hard along with us, including all of our partners and PRINA salon network members ♡♡♡<br />
<br />
The theme for the night was " Something Pink"~ I reckoned it was be the prefect theme sinow we are Pinkroom!! LOL~ so all the other themes suggested such as retro night and PJ party was cold storaged.<br />
<br />
And yes, everyone kept to the theme. Haha!! I was actually worried they won't cus not many people actually WEAR pink. So every time I see the students in school, I'll nag them to keep to the theme. Look~ the results was spectacular!! I love you all!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Glad that our team managed to get food sponsors for the night too~ as it won't feel right to spend on food & celebrations. The money would have gone a longer way to helping the street kids.<br />

We had a nice catch up networking session. Something that we didn't had amy chance to do in the past. Our grads and students have feedback that they enjoyed such sessions, so looks like there will be more to come. I guess it's only during such times that we all put time aside from our busy work schedule and appointments to make time for our friends. </div>

<span style="color: #141723;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">From 10 June 2014 to 16 June 2014, Pink Room was at Suntec City giving gel manicures for a charity event, Pink Your Nails, Color Their World. Through the efforts and kind help of many, the event was a success. On the second day of the event, there were more than 50 manicurists gathered at the atrium and held a manicure marathon. It was such an eventful day for me and indeed satisfying. It was a sight to behold as our iconic pink shirts could be spotted everywhere in the hall! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been a while since I last met up with Eriko. When we had time and were together, we would have so much discussion about various nail art, nail techniques and nail tools in each other's country! I do miss her but I guess I'll just make do with the memory of our interview and features for now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Both of us are featured in Japan's popular Nail Up! Vol.58 issue and in that article (see below), it describes our journey in the nail industry in detail. Coming from a little red dot, I am, of course, very honoured to be working with Eriko and getting featured in a Japanese magazine (not just any mag, but Nail Up!, which is pretty amazing!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My journey in Singapore's nail industry has been a long and tedious one, making mistakes along the way and learning some valuable lessons from past mistakes. Alas, my hard work has paid off in the most unimaginable way and I'm thankful for all those who had came into my life and contributed to The Pink Room International Nail Academy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was Easter Day last sunday and one of my student gave me this set of Easter Bunny ears and nose. It's super adorable and my staffs and I decided to put it up on our glass doors (HAHA)!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a much somber tone, I'm glad my students thought of me on Easter Day and got me such a cute deal. <b>THANK YOU AL</b>L </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a side note, I've been browsing through the web for all the latest nail art. I may be a principal, educator and a judge, but I'll still have to keep myself updated and on trend!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, I found this particular nail design which features an accent on just the ring finger and I'm in love with it. It is suitable for bridal nails, but if it were for daily wear, it's a soft and muted form of chic and hipster style. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week is the so-called "workshops" week, conducting workshops after workshops and guiding our students to master a themed nail art. On Monday, I had the Gellish Manicure Class, teaching the techniques and precautions of using gel polish and on Tuesday and Wednesday, I was totally immersed in teaching the Melody Pro Nail Art Class~</div>

Of course, being featured in Japan's Nail Up! latest issue (Vol.58) has the highlight of the week for me too! My good friend from Japan, Ms. Eriko, and I did an interview together and I even brought her around Singapore! It was a rare "day-out" for me where I finally managed to truly enjoy Singapore. I thank God that the weather then was all sunshine and breezy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eriko has always been very passionate about nail art just like me and we would always text each other about nail trends in Japan or Singapore, exchanging ideas and tips. It is also why when I wanted an international judge to be present at our Pink Room Cup, Eriko was my first choice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Read more about our interview below or you can grab a copy of the magazine at Shoppink Room, located at International Plaza #06-18.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Open House next Monday! The previous one was really great and I got to meet ladies who are genuinely interested in nail art. There was even a lady from Indonesia, who committed to flying over to Singapore for half a year just to study with us! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am extremely touched and I vow that Pink Room do its best to train our students, xoxo. </div>
