Dinner in Ukraine

Ukrainian Dinner in a Ukraine Restaurant with the overseas guests and judges for the Nailympics Ukraine nail competition.

It was an experience, meeting up with friends from all over the world. 

Some I haven't met for quite a long time. 

Mотанки~ Traditional Ukrainian Happy Dolls

Mотанки or Motanka in English is the Traditional Ukrainian Dolls.

Our hosts in Ukraine brought us to DIY our very own doll~~ I guess, she reckoned that "Nails people" are art & craft people!

Beliefs About the Motanka

• Ancient Ukrainian motankas had strong ritual meaning – a girl looking for a groom would make her motanka while singing wedding songs.

• A motanka would be given to a child whenever he or she got sick. Ukrainians used to believe that the doll would take away the illness. 

• There was a time when Motankas could be found in almost every Ukrainian home – it was believed that they protected the house. 

This is the head...

The head attached to the body...

And done~!! My very own Motanka...

Day 1 in Ukraine~ and I'm having fun! 

Looking forward to Nailympics Ukraine tomorrow.

Pizza time~ YUMMY!!

I brought Eriko-san for Pizza at a little cozy restaurant near our school at International Plaza. It's one of our favourite hangout.... especially with overseas guests. I bought the team from Nail TAT for this pizza too and they loved it! It was good since Japanese do not favour spicy food.

We ordered the usual ham pizza and tried the salmon one for the first time.

One of those things I like to do in the afternoons (that I never get to do)... chillax at a cafe or resturant, sip on ice cold beer, casually munching on pizza... catching up with an old friend. Chatting about random topics under the sun.

Here's my family~~

How many members do you have in your family? We have many!~ At The PinkRoom Int'l Nail Academy [PRINA], we are a big family. We may have different day jobs, family background, pets, friends, qualifications..... we all have the passion & love for NAILS. And that brought all of us to PinkRoom~ to be professionally trained by our PinkRoom trainers & Principal.

Even though we are in different classes, we are still connected as one PinkRoom family!

マリーナ·ベイ·サンズ

Spent a romantic night with Eriko-san at the Marina Bay Sands マリーナ·ベイ·サ~ Overlooking the view of Singapore from Level 57. Enjoying the breeze & some drinks!

MBS, which seems so normal to us Singaporean, is a big big attraction to Japanese. Turns out, it was because there is a TV commercial in Japan to advertise about Singapore. And they were featuring the sky garden!

PRINA-revision class

Me hard at work tonight~ <3 our PRINA-revision class before each PRINA Certificate Exam... it's our free extra class to help students with their exam mistakes, so that they know what went wrong & where they need to improve before they re-sit for their exams. 

I believe it is useless to re-sit for exams without knowing why you fail~ we at PinkRoom are very serious on each of our student's potential for accomplishing each individual's best!! ^.~

PinkRoom Cup 2013~~

GET READY FOR ONE OF PINK ROOM'S BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR!

I'll be there... see you there too!
