I mentioned in the earlier post that our PinkRoom's Master Educator Joe Chua drew a couple of us on to nail-tips using the techniques of Realistic Face Painting. So as promised, these are the rest of the hand-painted nail art he did... 

See if you can guess correctly who else he painted.

Guess most PRINA students will be familiar with them...

...us and the man behind all the painting!

Principal Rachel Tang (that's me!), Master Educator Joe Chua, Senior Educator Nicole, and the two kawaii girls in the black PinkRoom apron (Chelsea & Jeslyn) completes the PinkRoom team!

4/4 兒童節快樂!! 小孩與大人們...

[ 小孩與大人們 ]

★ 

每次都發現自己沒有準備好，

就不知不覺醒在大人的世界裡了。 

大人的世界滿累的，說明書都厚厚一大本，

做什麼事，說什麼話，上面都規定的井井有序。 

大人的世界滿徒勞的，

常常努力的把一件事做好了，卻發現不能滿足所有人。 

大人都很奸詐。

大人不能隨便哭。 我不想長大。 

★ 

大人的世界通常都有目的。 

這麼說吧，大人踢球，一定有球門，

也一定把所有踢球的人分兩邊，穿上不同顏色的衣服。 

如果踢球沒有球門，那怎麼計分？

沒有分數，那踢那麼久球要幹嘛？ 

但是小孩，踢球的時候，就是在踢球。

蝴蝶在飛，陽光在吹，小孩在踢球。 

我不想長大。

★ 

小時候，常常趴在沒有人的客廳茶几上，

聽著同一首歌，聽到天黑。 

一個下午就這麼一直重複著一首歌，

直到那磁帶彷彿藤蔓攀向天空，帶我去雲的上面繞，

從藍天白雲，直到滿天彩霞，然後星星張開眼。 

天黑了，黑夜從窗戶爬進來了，媽媽回來做飯了。

我關掉錄音機，開心的對著媽媽笑了。 

永遠這樣多好，我不想長大。

★ 

大人的世界通常都有目的。

但我絕對不會怪大人，大人都很辛苦，

可以的話，他們只想癱在沙發上喘口氣。 

叫我起床，煮飯，洗我踢球時弄髒的衣服。 

媽媽是辛苦的大人。

我能那麼快樂的當小孩，

都是因為有那麼辛苦的大人。 

我不想長大，

但是如果我不小心長大了，我要當媽媽那樣的大人，

讓更多的小孩快樂。 

讓每個小孩，快樂的不想長大。

兒童節快樂，小孩與大人們。

GUESS WHO? Realistic Face Painting.

I found a bunch of photos of hand-drawn nailart done by our "King of Nail-Gurus" Mr JOE CHUA~ It was done some time ago but we have never shared before...so here goes!! 

GUESS WHO? LOL~

Yes~ it's ME!

This was done by PinkRoom's Master Educator Joe Chua some time ago~ I remembered he just sat there drawing away with a fine brush and an array of paints... silently on his own drawing and drawing (those who knows him, know what I meant~ LOL) And after a while, he just turned around and asked "Nice or not?" 

I took a peek and my first reaction was: "WOW!! itz me!!"

 Followed by my second reaction: "Ewww...itz me!!... on a nail tip!?!" Honestly, it was rather weird to see yourself, as a painting... needs some getting used to~ Hahahahaa~ 

On closer scrutiny of his "nail art", I was amazed by the fine strokes and realism of the person's facial expressions!! It is easy to "just draw a face", but it is damn ultra-difficult(in my humble opinion), to draw someone you know; coz it is not just a face, but a person you actually know, bundled together with his/her character.

It's hard to critic his art coz it's my own face,lol! 

Frankly, I felt that Joe managed to catch a person's personality & characteristics in his paintings.. He also managed to create a 3-Dimensional image onto a 2-Dimensional surface..aka, that of a small nail tip!! All these from his many years of high-technical skills & in-depth knowledge of facial proportions and colors. 

Cheerios to our Master Joe!! \(^.^)/

By the way, Joe ended up drawing not only me, but a couple of us... So keep a lid on your curiosity and I would try to upload all of them asap... ^.^

Thumbs up!

Ooooh...everything's hand-drawn on this yummy menu!! ♥ ♥ ^.~ Love my bling thumb too! Lol~

*Thumbs up* (no pun intended) for the 100% effort they had put in to draw every single thing in their menu. 

It's Easter!

Seeing all the cute Easter Eggs online made me feel like decorating my own Easter Egg~ but I think I'll make a mess in the kitchen, and should stick to decorating nails!

Here's a Easter Egg recipe to share~

Ingredients

Original recipe makes 60 eggs

 2 pounds confectioners' sugar

 1/4 pound margarine, softened

 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 12 ounces peanut butter

 1 pound flaked coconut

 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

 2 tablespoons shortening

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, margarine, cream cheese and vanilla extract. Divide the batter in half and place each half of the batter in a bowl on its own. Stir peanut butter into one of the bowls and coconut into the second.

2. Using your hands, mold the dough into egg-shapes and arrange the eggs on cookie sheets. Place the eggs in the freezer until frozen.

3. Once the eggs have frozen, melt the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double-boiler. Dip the eggs into the chocolate until coated. Place the eggs on wax paper lined cookie sheets and return to the freezer to harden. After the chocolate has hardened the eggs can be kept in the refrigerator.  * you can also deco with hundreds & thousands before freezing!

Have fun!

Teddy teddy Nailart~

Hehehe! My super kawaii act cute teddy bear nails~

It's been a long time since I actually did such a kawaii set of nails for myself, since it doesn't really goes well with the "typical principal" look~! I'm actually very fun loving!! >.<

  The whole set of nailart is done on my natural nails using the Angelpro Gelly Polish.

#4 beige colour for the base,

#31 dark brown for the paw and face features,
#32 the lighter brown for the Teddy's face,

 and #23 for the hearts!  

Tip: Replace the colours if you prefer a different effect or if you don't have the colours that I've used! Have fun exploring the different possibilities~ Add a ribbon on the Teddy's head or even a bow tie!!

 

Memories~

Juz realized that life is not the same now without photo-albums; those that we can store photos developed onto real paper, that we can flipped thru & grin to ourselves on a lazy sunday afternoon...

Love is the most wonderful of all feelings in this world. 祝大家情人节快乐 ♥

Enjoy your day with the people you love~ your family, friends, spouse!
