SHAPE magazine photoshoot

i have been sent to hell.

mugging and preparing for my examinations.
camping in the library almost everyday to try to complete my tutorials.
(the tutorials that were supposed to be completed months ago!)
it is really torturing. :(

the worse thing is, no matter how much time i try to set aside for my studies,
i still don't seem to get much things done.
i wonder if it is because of the ineffectiveness in my study method,
or simply because i can't concentrate at all. :(
i definitely it is the latter.
boo.

things weren't exactly going my way either.

today morning, i was supposed to have a shoot with SHAPE magazine for the december issue.
(those step-by-step exercise guides you always see in health magazines)
was told to reach genting lane by 9am
but i woke up at frigging 9.20am!!!
you can imagine my face when i realised the time after i woke up! (!!!!)
i rushed like nothing and ran down to try to get a cab asap.
but waited for 15 mins but to no avail.

you know people always say "when you don't need cabs, there are plenty. but when you need one bloody one, there is NONE!"

i know it may sound quite lame, but i totally stand by it. period!

i called for a cab after 15 mins of waiting-in-vain,
and the bloody cab company tell me that there are NO CABS AVAILABLE!!!!

(!!!!!)

madness!

eventually, i hailed a cab in the end and is nearly TWO HOURS LATE!

that is still not the worse part.
as you see, i missed breakfast and had a rather hectic and nerve wrecking morning.
during the shoot, i was supposed to try out 12 different poses.

no, it is not as easy as it sounds.
(i know i'm weak also lah) haha.
but i had to be in standard push-up position (when the arms are bent 90degrees)
and SMILE, and be corrected on my pose.
eg, "hips higher, peggy!" or "neck straight, peggy!"
and after the shot is taken,
the disappointing comment on the picture is,

"oh man.. can't see her left hand.. CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?"

imagine this happening like around 10 times to each pose, for 12 poses.

and the next worse thing,
i almost fainted halfway through the shoot!!!!
i broke out in cold sweat, and vision went very very white.
i'm sure alot of you have had this feeling before.
and the next half of the shoot, i had to squat between every shot.
and make sure i don't pass out.

it is official, PEGGY IS A COUCH POTATO! WEAKLING!!!!

boo. and we were also alot behind time.
mainly because i was very very late.
i felt really really bad! :*(

grab the december issue of SHAPE.
if you think i look HEALTHY and FIDDLE-FIT,

it is all a facade!!!!!
