Be That Girl - plans for the future

Just an update

2007-09-09T01:51:00.001+08:00

Hey ~~guysgirls~~ALL!

People should start posting in here.Be it having events or no events.
Life is so not all about events.[Yah, I'm speaking to myself as well]Even though they give you topics and all.
But still.

I know I'm so random coming here to blog.I think this is my first or second post.
I'm Michelle, in case you didn't know.

I actually hope no one reads this.I feel so shy..Haha.
Wonder if anyone still visits here or not.
Its been a few months or less since I last visited here myself.

I hope everyone is doing well in life and tremendously blessed through BTG.
Remember, it doesn't just end there!
Well anyways, I just wanted to blog here.For some odd reason..
Sorry for not being very entertaining.
This is a very meaningless blog post. :)

Have a great year everyone!

Life.

Hey girlfriends...

yes, Just the girlfriends.

How have you girls been doing? I know the BTG blog seems like it's been left for dead but that's only the blog. I know all the girls I know are alive and well and I trust that each one of you is doing superduperawesomecallifraggilistic too!

Not going to make this a long blogpost but I just want to remind all of us to remember to stay connected to church, to each other, and to people that will build us up. Most important of all, stay connected to God!

So there. This is one sign of life on this blogs part. But hey, even if BTG doesn't happen in the near future, let's not miss out on the chance to get connected to one another, to hang out and just have fun.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!! I'm serious.

Love you girls.

Have an amazing week. Be blessed.

Hi guys!

I don't really know how many people actually will read this but I had a really tough day at work today and decided, what the hey... I'll do something ELSE besides working! *smiles* Here I am.

Its been a week since BTG'07. Its truly a privilege for me to be able to be part of the committee. The team has been really nothing but awesome. I'm so thankful I'm given the chance be able to work with you and to get to know each and everyone of you. Truly an honour.

You girls made me laugh, made me loose my voice, caused me a [almost] heart attack, gave me endless headaches and most importantly you girls made me love each and everyone of you. Its really an honour to be able to know you guys more... well, not everyone cause I'm really bad with names [as you all would already know by now]

Anyways, just wanted to say GREAT JOB to everyone and continue to serve Him with all that you've got!

Yin Har will kill me when she sees this picture of her... *hahaha*

Love,
Diana the dragon lady

BE THAT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-03-07T19:36:00.000+08:00

Hey,
This post is not written by Ejane but by Har the chairman of the conference. I think i have not written anything on this blog before and oh well....there is always the first time.

BE THAT GIRL ? What is it really all about? I think i have not shared this to everyone but since I am "bloggin" right now....I will!

In July 2005. I was actually going thru a pretty difficult path of life where I nearly gave up on God. I came to a point where i thought whats the point in going thru life....WHATs the point God? If you are God almighty why put us through all these things. Just a lot of things that I have been doing in the past doesn't make sense to me anymore. Why serve? why go to church? why have a God?

In my frustration there was no answer. In fact there is one day, I was just lying down on my bed trying to sleep as always and then I just felt that God was there with me whispering to my heart. " get up and do something". I am like...WHAT?? do what? I am like... "God, I want an answer not a task!" Then i heard again, the answer is in the things you are passionate about. I am passionate about the young ppl in this city. The idea just came. GIRLS CONFERENCE IT SHALL BE! Ideas after ideas of how to run the conference came to my mind and immediately i took up the shared the idea with Seaw Chin. The first thing she said to me...."wwah you very smart ah your idea but you want me to execute it lah" and I said...u also very smart......then we sat down discussed the details shared it with everyone and there goes BTG 2006.

If BTG 2006 was good, check BTG 2007 out!
see you there.

HAR

Provision. Revelation.

2007-01-30T00:12:00.000+08:00

Seems this has been a recurring theme in my studying and reading lately - provision. Not that I've found myself wanting or lacking. I think God's trying to teach me something *ponders* So I thought I'd share it with you too.

This is what I was reading [Psalm 144 & 145] on my weekend pastime - the train.

Psalm 145 : 15 - "All eyes look to you for help; you give them their food as they need it."

What an incredible revelation of God - as a Father - provider. He gives what is needed, when its needed. His grace is sufficient for each and every one of us - regardless of the situations we are in (2 Corinthians 12:9). No doubt He is the God of exceedingly abundantly (Ephesians 3:20), but too many times we expect 'provision upon request.'

If we have not learnt anything else, we should at least know that God doesn't work according to our expectations or limitations. He is above and beyond our mortal reasoning or demands. He thinks, no, he knows what needs to be done with the knowledge of what will matter in eternity.

That's why faith is the key element to our Christianity. Without faith it's impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). If we don't trust Him to provide, we'd be in doubt, worrying, and being hopeless throughout our lives. God has clearly said that we shouldn't worry (Matthew 6:25-34). God gives as we need - not as we want.

The two Psalms I was reading are amazing. It's best read out loud!

Have an amazing day filled with blessings.

Hearts.

The Blood Diamond, Revolutions, and other thoughts.

2007-01-20T14:40:00.000+08:00

The Blood Diamond.
Other than the fact Leonardo DiCaprio speaks with a beautiful African-ish accent, the movie is painfully hard to watch. When I watched it the first time I was at (a friends house), his brother's friend as well as his sister was there (both work with the UN), along with the rest of his family who seem very very well updated on the issues of the world.

As we watched the movie, they were talking about the efforts of UNHCR, and other UN projects, child soldiers, war zones, food programmes and all the likes. I mean, listening to all these stories totally gutted me. I couldn't really fathom how truly screwed up the world is. All these things happening IN MY LIFETIME. No, it wasn't some unreal sort of story from an era ago. This is happening here and now. Right under our noses. It was sickening. But its reality.

Right there in the cinema last night as I was watching the movie for the second time, (knowing how the story ended meant I cried at the most random intervals remembering the disparity of the human race) I sat there praying. I was literally crying out to God saying 'save our nation, save our world, let me be a witness for you' and in my head thinking - "I want to go do something, I NEED to do something!"

I almost decided I should join the UN or something. LOL.

Then I remembered reading something Joel wrote. "Love God.. love people.. that's it.. that's the revolution.. revolutionary I know.. but if we understand what that means.. if we get it.. if we establish in our thinking how that looks.. and we start living it.. we will change the world.. it's not so much about the big stuff.. it's just about the stuff.. it's about the people in the places being the answer - in the places.. and together; becoming the answer to the big stuff.. it's about your backyard.. it's about my backyard.."

So rather than attempting to make my way over to the UN volunteers office to try and help change the world (in some big way all at once), I realized we all have to do what we can wherever we are. What are the needs in my backyard? Are the children I'm teaching in need of more than just an education that will enable them to be a 'success' in the eyes of the world? Do they too need love? What about the kids in my neighbourhood? Who's going to get them to church? Am I here to be the answer they need? To be the Jesus they see?

Sure I can get on a plane, fly out to Sri Lanka, Lebanon, or even Johor to help the flood victims. But I could go on forever and ever being an 'action junkie' trying to save the world. That's God's job (saving the world). We've all heard the saying, 'God's God and I'm not'. I've been placed where I am to help the very ones I meet, attempt to smile at, should go hold their hand, EVERYDAY! That's my responsibility unless otherwise stated by God himself and sent packing to save some other part of the world.

If I can do that, if I can be faithful to be a light and witness and LOVE in the very place I am not and if everyone in their own backyards can do that - we can change the world! I know it. I'm convinced it's possible. I'm convinced!

We can do it together,
Love much... sj.

ps. This also got me remembering i can't keep going on feeling neglected or disconnected - the world is too big to focus on me, and my sorry ass. There are greater needs than that of my silly little self.

Old Faithful

2007-01-17T00:28:00.000+08:00

Old Faithful

by Susanne Scheppmann

Psalm 89:1-2, “I will sing of the Lord's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.” (NIV)

Devotion:

We waited and waited. Then finally, I stood in awe as the geyser, Old Faithful, spewed steaming water 150 feet into the air. The Yellowstone National Park ranger told us that it was myth that the geyser erupts every 96 minutes. He said it is faithful to spray the water, but not on man’s timetable.

Doesn’t that sound like God? Scripture repeatedly states that God is faithful beyond our imagination. However, sometimes we doubt. The problem is that we want Him to act in faithfulness according to our requests, standards, and time allotment. We especially feel that way when problems rattle our lives. We ask, “Where is the faithfulness of God right now?”

We want the Lord to react like a genie in a bottle. We call out our wishes and we demand that He bring about miraculous results. I recently witnessed this attitude in an unbelieving friend. She landed unexpectedly in the hospital with an undiagnosed problem. Frustrated she said, “I cried out to God last night and He didn’t help me! What kind of God is He?” Although, my friend never gave a thought about God until a crisis arose, she expected His immediate help when she called out. She demanded the Lord be faithful to her needs on her schedule. Her disappointment resulted in a defiant attitude of doubt.

In addition, I have discovered another intriguing similarity between the geyser, Old Faithful, and God’s faithfulness. The park guide explained after an earthquake, the time between eruptions lengthens. Earthquakes in 1959, 1983, and 1998 increased the average length between the geyser’s eruptions from 76 minutes to approximately 90 minutes. Just like Old Faithful, I have found that as God increases my faith, He sometimes increases the time between my “earthquake” and His rescue. By allowing a longer time span between crisis and aid, God brings me to believe in, rely on, and depend upon His yet unseen faithfulness.

Although doubt of God’s faithfulness may raise its ugly head, He has never been unfaithful to me. He may not rescue me as quick as I would like. He might answer my cry in a way I do not expect. However, He will always aid me in the manner that will help me increase my faith. He wants to teach me to sing of His faithfulness regardless of my circumstances as the psalmist did.

God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging . . .

"Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth."

Psalm 46:1-3, 10 (NIV).

Yes, just as I stood and waited in awe for Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, I will wait in anticipation for God to show Himself faithful in my life. I will “be still and know He is God.” Will you wait with me?

Dear Lord, help me to recognize Your faithfulness in my life. Aid me in understanding that You work according to Your faithfulness and not my desires. I pray that You increase my faith. Help me to relax and know that You are God. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Why.

2007-01-14T14:12:00.000+08:00

The lyrics to this song brought a whole new meaning to the word FAITH for me. How we often have to trust God's all-knowing self even when the situation we are in or what we have been called to do doesn't seem like the most sane thing to do. Jesus needed faith too. I've always assumed Jesus knew exactly what he had to do and the reason why behind everything he was going to do. But he needed to trust his father as much as we have to trust Him in this day and age. When it comes to faith, there are no distinctions between 2000 years ago and today. Wow. I brings me a whole new appreciation for what Jesus did for ME.

Read the words. If you can get your hands on the song.. do it.

WHY (Bonus Track on This Mystery)
Nichole Nordeman

We rode into town the other day,
just me and my daddy.
he said I'd finally reached that age,
and I could ride next to him on a horse
that of course, was not quite as wild.

We heard a crowd of people shouting,
and so we stopped to find out why.
There was that man that my dad said he loved,
but today there was fear in his eyes.

So I said, Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows.
Daddy please, can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry.
You said He was stronger than all of those guys;
Daddy, please tell me why.
Why does everyone want Him to die?

Later that day, the sky grew cloudy,
and Daddy said I should go inside.
Somehow he knew things would get stormy.
Boy was he right, but I could not keep from wondering
if there was something he had to hide.

So after he left, I had to find out.
I was not afraid of getting lost.
So I followed the crowds to a hill
where I knew men had been killed,
and I heard a voice come from the cross.

And it said, Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my robe?
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows.
Father please, can't you do something?
I know that You must hear my cry.
I thought I could handle a cross of this size.
Father, remind me why.
Why does everyone want me to die?
Oh, when will I understand why?

My precious son, I hear them screaming.
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming.
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own.
Jesus, this hurts me much more than you know,
but this dark hour, I must do nothing,
though I've heard your unbearable cry.
The power in your blood destroys all of the lies;
soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look, there be love, see the child
trembling by her father's side.
Now I can tell you why...
she is why you must die.

Because we love Klang

Did you realize that the name of our state is Selangor DARUL EHSAN?

Alright. So you knew that.

But did you know that Darul Ehsan means Abode of Sincerity?

So there. My little fact of the day.

Let's get SINCERE, people. This is the land of sincere people right, so lets live it up!

I personally recommend getting yourself onto en.wikipedia.org and typing Malaysia in the search box and find out more about our country.

No seriously, try it.

CHRISTmas

2006-12-09T17:41:00.000+08:00

Christmas. Wow. What an incredible season to celebrate. Whether or not you believe that the 25th of December is truly the Christ's birth date or just a pagan ceremony twisted to become some sort of 'religious' celebration of their Saviour, I believe it's an amazing opportunity for us to stop, reflect, and thank God for the amazing gift of Christ.

The other day, I was sitting at work, helping some kids make Christmas cards, the conversation went something like this...

Teacher A: Hey, what are you making?
Kid: A tree.
Teacher A: Yes, it's a Christma.. um.. XMas tree.
Kid: XMas tree :)

Notice how she stops when saying 'Christmas.' Many places have stopped writing the word Christmas. Xmas is now the new season of celebration. X to replace Christ in CHRISTmas. X to say we don't need a saviour, we just want a reason to party. X to say we can live our own lives minus God.

Personally, I did not grow up celebrating Christmas other than attend those Christmas services and occasionally be a part of some Christmas play or musical event. It meant nothing to me until I had a revelation. I realized that we don't really need a special day to remember Christ and God's amazing gift to the world, but we definitely could and should use this time to spread CHRISTmas cheer to everyone around. Not just 'party cheer' but spread CHRIST.

Every other house has Christmas lights up, a Christmas tree, presents, the whole works. These people are aimless in their celebrations, but imagine what a difference it would make if we told them the reason for celebration? A purpose to the lights and sounds.

IMAGINE.

You know how they say that if you miss out on your personal time with God you'll miss what He wants to speak to you. I realized something this morning - when God wants you to know something, He'll find a way to do it.

I missed last night's reading of a book I've been reading every day but I did read a collegemate's blog and this morning when I read that book, it was the exact same thing my collegemate had written about. God needed to get the message through to me - even though I didn't stick to the plan.

I'm not saying that we should forget quiet times, devotions, personal bible studies etc. But I am saying, God is still God and nothing goes unnoticed in His books. When He makes a plan, it will happen. God speaks to us in ways we least expect - are we looking out for Him? Are we looking for Him in every thing we do?

In the book of Job -

If only I knew where to find God,
I would go to his court.

But once he has made his decision, who can change his mind?
Whatever he wants to do, he does.
So he will do to me whatever he has planned.
He controls my destiny.

I believe God is waiting to speak to us in every situation, in everything we see and experience, every single second of every day - He's waiting there excitedly - wanting so desperately to tell us secrets of life, love, and of His plans. He is in love with us. Remember He created us to enjoy us.

Much like having a bfriend. I would want to share every single thing that's happened to me because I care and I want him to be a part of every aspect of my life. That's how my God is. He wants so much to talk to me! Waiting at every turn, every blink.

Am I looking out for Him too?

Thoughts.

2006-10-20T19:46:00.000+08:00

I saw a girl today. She wore a yellow tank top and a cargo pants. They were hanging on her not really fitting right. As I watcher her walk past me, I thought "anorexic?" but then realized I'm not any bigger than she is.

So, I realized. I can wear the most perfect clothes or the most unperfect clothes. It's not the clothes but the person. Whether or not I wear an assemble that is plain hideous or picture perfect isn't really the issue.

As she walked, I could hear the soles of her shoes scraping the floor she walked on. There was no bounce in her and there were no strides.

I suppose I can put on the most ugly clothes but if I can radiate in it, walk with a bounce and a smile on my face, I'd float.. there are no ugly clothes.

Random.

FAITH.

Just some notes from a Jesse Duplantis message I heard the other day.. good stuff.. Hope all who read this are blessed.

"you are today what yesterdays' choices have made you"

if you dont create a future, you will never have a present

i dont show you what i have, i tell you what i want
i dont tell you where i am, i tell you where i'm going

HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL

Faith will be given great moments to show itself

the Lord doesn't mind you falling asleep, as long as you have what you suppose to have when you wake up

What about recessions? We don't participate. Why? Because we're rich? No. Its because we don't live by the economy of the United States, or the state, or the county. We live by our giving.

God never told you to make a living. God told you to make a giving and live off the seed that you sow by the harvest that grows from it.

Faith is patience.

A habit of faith always produces a habit of action. Faith without works is dead.

Give and expect the harvest.

God will honour everything you give Him.

God doesn't need anything we have, but we need everything he has.

How do we get what God has. By sowing seeds. Seed is the principle God used to create the earth, and us.

attention!!

What are YOU doing?!

2006-08-22T02:17:00.000+08:00

Hey girls (and maybe guys).. I stole this off a friends' blog but I thought it was amazing. Read it and we want to hear your thoughts about it too. what are YOU doing to make a difference in this world.. share your thoughts with us! Below are some of the responses he got from the young people of the church. Now, lets hear YOU!

---

It is possible for us to change the world!!!!!!!!

You know, I look at people who have gone before us, who changed the world as we know it... Luther, Martin Luther King Jr, Graham, Mandela, Theresa, Hitler, Lenin, Pol Pot, Ghandi... These all created a shift in people's minds and in the history books. Some for evil, some for good. I look at their world and ask myself this one question; what is so different about their world than to that of ours??? My observation has led me to answer that question with a massive NOTHING!!!!! Same challenges, same problems, same loneliness, same sin and same solution, same God.

I want to leave this thought with you and ask you to comment on it...

What is hindering us in making OUR GENERATION the generation that will be remembered and written about in history books forever???

I would love to hear your thoughts because I have never been consumed with such a conviction that if we wake up to what God has placed inside of us, WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER! It is said about David in the Bible that "...he served his generation..." Let's serve ours!

Let me hear what you think...............

---

I think it totally is dude but I dont think that anyone has had the same conviction that these people have had, I think that theres those of us that have had an increadibly strong conviction but not near the same. If Jesus changed the world and He said we're gonna do greater miricles than He did through His name, then why cant we?! Like you quoted from that communist guy on Friday nyt, "Give me the youth of a generation and Ill change the world" (I think thats what you said but I could be a bit off in my memory), you couldnt just come up with that in a 5minute planning session on how to change the world just quickly before you decided to do it, thats passion and conviction that gets stried up over years, I think the question is, how far are we willing to go, and how much are we willing to sacrifice? people would say "what ever it takes" but if it cost them their lives(by that I mean not having one other than following through on their convictions, not death) would they still do it? all those people that you talked about didnt have a life of their own, what they did was what they did, day in and day out, there was no party time, there was no "me time", they weren't just sold out for what they believed in, they gave up their lives for it... when we wake up in the morning our first thoughts go along the line of.... 5more minutes, or, what am I gonna have for breakfast, or, whats the weather like today... I bet those dudes were like, if only I got up 5min earlier maybe I could have spoken to 1 more person, or, how many people's spirits am I gonna feed with what I have in my hand today, or, I hope I can find something to wear quick enough so I dont waste time worrying about what I look like so I can get out there and changes lives (even of it wasnt for the best of reasons).

Thats the sort of conviction and revelation that gets people to that level (Am I writing this? far out!) thats my thoughts but shut me down if im worng...

---

We're SOOOO gonna change the world! If we would stand up and be counted instead of standing on the sidelines of life, and run the race that is life with all we've got, going hard for God and loving Him, and then from that loving the lost and believing that Christ through us WILL change the world, then it's fully on!

Saturday night when you talked about this, it was such a revelation... and through this morning during the last session that I was at love that, it was evident that this generation is willing and determined to make a stand! The faith that filled the sports hall was incredible and Mel could have talked about baking a cake and everyone would have cheered loudly and worshipped passionately and loved God all the more.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that this generation is still facing the same problems as the generations before us. This is what hinders. This is what robs so many of their dreams.... but I think, more than ever, people are rising up, charging into battle, being warriors, overcoming and daring to dream big! It is such a testament to God as I see so many people choosing life and choosing Him and daring to be different and to leave oily footprints everywhere they go.

There are so many examples of overcomers in past generations, which you referred to. And I think these people are inspirations to young people in this generation. That more than ever, they are realising people have made a difference before so why can't they make a difference too! I know that, especially in the salvos, the youth are now being encouraged to rise up, they are being resourced in order to be equipped, and they are being supported by older people who choose to invest into their lives and the unlimited potential seen within them.

---

Is it possible for us to change the world? I guess that question is always directed by the devil (haha not you Thomas- you'll catch my drift in a second).. Cause you see there is a certain limit and boundary that is brought by that question.. "Is it possible? Is it possible?" we ask ourselves. All of a sudden there are limitations in peoples thoughts.. All of a sudden people begin to doubt What God can do..

Because you see God asks us the question- is it NOT possible for you to change the world? When you step out, stand firm in the faith, cling to the Word, and stand on your conviction, there is only ONE option- the Holy Ghost, working through us, draws men to God! Hallelujah

after the awesome worship came all the performances... mann were they good... we had a ballet dance by M.G.S & Convent to the music of reflector by planet shakers... it was interesting and profound... then next came the skit... went really well with the crowd cheering when music from the soundtrack of highschool musical was played... and last but not least cam the hip-hop dance by the guys... was really good and impressive... the emcees were a total BOMB!!! they were like so good with bringing the crowd and all... and i really take my hat off to them for doing such a great job... cause without them it wouldn't have turned out the way it did...

and now for the main course... the speaker... he was just amazing and he brought his point through to the people... really touched their hearts and made them think about what was really important in life... many people answered the call to ask Jesus to become the friend and their saviour... it was great just seeing people coming to God knowing that you know that they will be in heaven... it's just AWESOME!!!

the rally came to a close with the worship team on stage bringing the crowd into a time of praise and worship...

Spectacular, Spectacular

2006-03-17T15:27:00.000+08:00

Lights, camera, action it was! The Fashion Show Night was simply phenomenal! Lights, music, confetti, balloons, the fashion show had that all. It might not be the first fashion show held in Klang but it was certainly the first sort of fashion show where u see people you actually know on the runway!

We were honoured to have Datin Dr. Tan Yee Kew to officiate that glamourous evening’s event which started off with an opening ballet dance by Charlene Yeong. And then, the models took over the runway parading various outfits from brands like Motivi, The Next Shop, Oxbow, Glenn Davis, and Step One. Next, a team of dancers from City Harvest Church rocked the stage and displayed their funky moves during the fashion show intermission.

Felt like you missed out? You sure did! Now for those who didn’t make it for this event [yes, you should be regretting], worry not, the most u can do right now is just check out these pictures of that night :

2006-02-28T00:26:00.000+08:00

Now many would be asking, “A fashion show?? What?” YES, yes it is a fashion show! As in, lights, models, runway, music and all that jazz you would normally see on Prada’s, Miu Miu’s, Versace’s, etc. kinda fashion show.

Models you ask? Well, they wont be your regular skin- and- bones- clothes- hanger models. Tall, short, young, old, big, small, we have them all. 21 ladies between the age of 7 – 40+( yes u read that right. We have from little kids to older women down on the runway), all hailing from our very own Klang, have taken up the task of strutting down the runway parading in various styles of clothes ranging from casualwear, partywear, eveningwear, and others. Now who might the models be?? Why, she might be your neighbour, a school mate, the girl who sits next to you in class or who knows, your cousin’s friends’ mom’s sister’s friend’s daughter! And to add glamour to the already glamorous fashion show, there will be 5 dashing male models escorting the ladies down the runway.

Intriguing, eh? You bet! Wanna know more? Easy, just experience it first hand by simply coming for it!! 11 March 2006, Saturday (second night of BTG conference). 7.30pm. KEC Klang. Tickets are for RM 10 and will be sold on that night. HOWEVER, for conference goers, the fashion show ticket is ALREADY included in the registration fee. To all you boys out there, don’t feel left out [awww…], the fashion show is OPEN to you people too! But of course you will have to pay for the entrance ticket’s fees.

So c’mon y’all out there, sign up for the conference, come for the fashion show. Experience it and join the fun and be sure to never return the same~!!

Note: The rumour going around about the fashion show being canceled, is UNTRUE. I repeat UNTRUE. So this means we are hoping to see you there!

Sneak peak of the "models'" catwalk practice [yup they have practices]. Feet only taken to keep models' identity anonymous. Yeah go on, try to figure who's feet is who's.

Until the next update about the fashion show developments, cheers and take it easy!
