Happy Birthday to our dearest respected Master Educator Joe Chua!!

Happy Birthday to our dearest respected Master Educator Joe Chua!! What do you give a guy like Joe Chua for his birthday present? ~Cigarettes only harms health...lol!! 

Thus I figured that the best "birthday present" that would bring tears to his eyes, are invaluable words by all of us who cherishes his presence in our lives. It would be great if some of you would leave him a note or something nice. Let's all make a special birthday gift for him!

----------------------

A World Champion Nailist internationally in many countries, he had been passionately passing on his valuable skills and knowledge to each and every individual student who had passed through our PinkRoom gates. Joe is a person of tremendous talent with an unlimited amount of patience for each student. 

Many would remember his familiar bent-over back, as he goes from student to student correcting individually their mistakes during EVERY classroom sessions: no matter how tiring he is, or how many students is in each class, he would do this over and over again... there is no student whom would be missed-out or left struggling with their skills alone. 

Even if he is not feeling well or running a fever, this dedication and consistency in his teaching has never changed from day one. It is easy to be passionate for one year or two... or even 3 to 5 years. But to be doing this for the past 10 over years, takes a deep sense of commitment and mentor-love for each students whom we teach. Everyone is special to us, everyone is someone we would like to see excel and become the best that he/she can ever become. 

Each graduate nailist's success and achievement is what keeps us going for the last decade. 

PRINA mini graduation party

 The gals brought over cakes for a mini party at PinkRoom last week~ The feeling is one of heartwarming and a bit of reluctance, because we have bonded and grown close to each other over the months. 

But more important than that, I am so proud of them that they have reached a new milestone! Seeing them progress to their current achievement reaffirms that starting a nail school is the right decision :)

Does the two frosted log cakes look tempting to you?

BFF! Every time I see these photos, I can't help but smile. It captures more than just the smiles on their face, but also the friendship our gals have with one another. 

  

 Jiayou girls! All the best!

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... ^.^
