Fresh, Designer???

Photos taken with my hp: Sony Ericsson C 902, digi cam: Olympus c5060, DSLR: Olympus e500.

Hehe, i know most of my readers here think that i’m a business woman who took business/marketing courses, hence i’m in the event industry now… while most of my real life friends always ask me how do i ever make it this far? well, i don’t think i’m far at all, its just part of my beginning, hehe as for now, i’m gonna share with u all those past journey of mine ;)


backthen, i’m just so FRESH.

well, i’m not exactly a business student cuz I was taking creative courses in multimedia university (top 200 Asian Universities) since 17 and graduated as bachelor in media innovation when i was 21.

hmm, why creative multimedia? haha i was confused that time, i thought its sth related to fine art and i actually cried so bad when i realised it’s not during my 1st semester =P alright, i was only 17 okay. as time goes by, i started to know what is multimedia, and realised what i have been learning are arts too, just another form of art, not brushes but mouse, not drawing paper but computer screen, hehe quite interesting too~ i have been learning graphic designs, 3D, webs, corporate identity, multimedia etc~

as for the business part, i took other courses too at my univerisity, such as marketing, economics, accounting, cyber/entrepreneurship, math, e-commence, law… okay, back to my journey…

when i was 20 yrs old, i joined a contest. hmm, i know i joined quite some contests last time and of cuz i learned n gained a lot from each of them, but as for this one, it changes my life completely as a FRESH DESIGNer.

It was L’Oreal Malaysia running a search for a webmaster~ i joined for fun <yeah, at 1st i do join for fun only, but of cuz i got design with my whole heart also lah> and guess what?


i won the Grand Prize and officially became the professional webmaster of L’Oreal Paris Pure Zone, and also the very first Malaysian who develop L’Oreal website (previously all done by Paris)~ ^^and i was being featured in some magazines~

it was my very first time connected to L’Oreal Malaysia…and some time later, another FRESH part of my photography journey begins~

L’Oreal Malaysia has been giving me so much oppurtunies and let someone as FRESH as me to become their photographer during their roadshow, corporate dinners, fashion shows and all sort of other events!


then, it goes another level, i have become their official photographer and have been traveling around Malaysia such as KL, Malacca, Penang etc to  shoot photos for them, their outlets, standees, booths, exhibitions, products… ^^


i have been shooting photos for brands under L’Oreal such as L’Oreal Paris ( Dermo- White Perfect, Revitalift, Pure Zone/ Hair-Feria, Excellence, Studio Line, Elseve/ Body- Body Expertise/ Cosmetic – make up products/ Men – Men’s Expert… ), Maybelline, Vichy, Garnier (skin care/ hair color…)… okay, too many to name them all >.<

beside being a photographer… they pampered me with some photoshoots too ^^
one of my fav~


these are taken during their concourse exhibition~


they gave me a total makeover, hair-do, facial, make up and photoshoot, everything foc~ now u guys know why i love L’Oreal so much!!!!~


for me, my sister and i are the umbrella for each other, yet L’Oreal Malaysia has been the best umbrella of ours~


we were being featured in an advert of theirs… another FRESH one :)

beside all these, they have been guiding me so much and giving me chances to work on their creatives~^^ below are just some of the examples:


website and games development~ and u can see Lisa Yap Zone above right? yeah, they even let me to have my own zone, sitting inside the website!!! its something that i will never forget and truly appreciate… i never know my name… can be seen on L’Oreal website~ there are my introduction, social networks, photos and more inside Lisa Yap zone~ awww… really sweet right??

another interesting fact is, they are the one who told me i should blog, and asked me to become not just webmaster but also the blogmaster of the website~ it was the very very very 1st time, i started blogging <inside L’Oreal web~> :P


interactive cds that distributed in all watsons and guardians around Malaysia and Singapore, and yeah, it is developed by me n dawei, when we were 21 yrs old~


and this is what we were working on last month~ L’Oreal Paris Elseve interactive multimedia ^^

along the way, i have been learning so much everyday and meeting so many interesting people~


first season of studio star search, i was just a photographer… <and these are those potential stars spotted by me!!!>


second season of studio star search, i was the photographer, designer of all creatives, and also the event organizer (roadshow – finale).


third season of studio star search, i was the photographer, designer of all creatives, event organizer (roadshow – audition – training – photoshoot – videoshoot – finale), choreographer, and one of the judges.

oh yeah~  besides organizing their events, they invited me to their events too ^^
and it was when i being exposed to events and started to have interests to organize events~


on stage and interviewed by Slyde, one of the member in dragonred, asking me how i feel after winning the webmaster quest, well… i just wanna say, L’Oreal Malaysia, I LOVE YOU!!! thanks for everything so so so so so much… winning the contest has changed my life completely, and this is so true for someone as fresh as me, i really appreciate all the given oppurtunities and trusts… from the bottom of my heart^^


and i get to meet the faces of L’Oreal too!!! one of the unforgettable moment is when i first met Maya Karin, she is so friendly n lovely, she even said: “wow, you are so cute! are u mix?” hehe, i felt so happy that time, u know, the feeling of hearing it from one of the prettiest n most famous celebrity in Malaysia~ =”>


Sometimes, they even gave me vip invitations to their events… and this is taken during one of their event “cash your dream”~


and it was when i met Daphne Iking~ ^^the beautiful mama~


xmas party~


free hair make over again ^^


another hair make over, with one of the FRESH product of theirs~ hehe, beside pampering me with their current products, i always get their new products that are not launched in the market months earlier, i really think that i’m so lucky… im not from a rich family but im the one supporting my family, those skin/hair/make up products that they gave me from time to time, really help me save alot, most importantly, those are L’Oreal products lehh~~~~


i really love how L’Oreal products work on me~ ^^

there are more n more to come, as i always know, “because i’m worth it” ^^

everything still seem so FRESH now that i come to think of it. who would have ever thought from a simple web design contest, L’Oreal turns me and my life around so much. you think this is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY? think again coz now I’m helping L’Oreal in another FRESH search and this time is for L’Oreal Paris Hydrafresh!! this is a simple design contest for you to come up with a design for a shopping bag… and this time round, your exposure will even be bigger than what i first started!!!! It’s because your design will be produced and made available in ALL Watson’s throughout the country, with your name credited on it!!! how great is that?!!?!?!! not excited enough? we still have RM3,000 in cash waiting for the winning design!

FRESH DESIGN SEARCH may be ur once in a lifetime opportunity too. like the saying goes, opportunity do not knock twice, so grab on to it (and there’s no harm if you try at the end of the day, rite? for more info, just click on here to find out more–> FRESH DESIGN SEARCH

so, u think you’re worth it? hehe, then just send in your entries by 10th July (its 12 am now, u stil have another 24 hours to go ^^ all the best!!) and we’ll see if you’re worth it… just like me :P

    very convincing..it really can attract those who are curious and talented to join and try out their lucks in the FRESH..
    i think you are really lucky but all because you have tried hard to grab the golden opportunities too..
    not every people are willing to trust their abilities and give a try at most competitions.. they are afraid of competing and maybe some public or media exposure etc..
    but at the least,your story convinced them,including me….(though im not interested in taking part the FRESH) ^^

    • July 27, 2009 | Permalink | Reply

      hey so happy to receive ur comment~ how are you? hehe and so glad that my stories convinced you, so happy to hear it from u ahh~ yeah i was very afraid of competitions once, no confident at all… even now, there are still a lot of things that i doubt my abilities, but i will never stop trying, enjoy learning and experiencing new stuff everyday.. ^^

        “碰撞了许多,但是学到了更加多”
        嗯,很喜欢这句话,
        一直觉得,能从碰撞中学习的人真的很了不起^^
        我会把这句话偷偷的放在心里,
        以后即使遇到难关也要坚信那是学习的过程,
        一定可以从中受益的~^^

          谢谢你哦,你这个短短的留言,也让我感觉受鼓励了~ 对呀,只要有心,只要肯去相信,其实很多事情都可以办得到。
          其实,今天我上班时,看见了一个只有一支脚的勇士,他,平衡了自己,用单脚骑着脚踏车,我很感动…… 看着看着,他竟然跌倒了,眼睛鼻子手脚到处都是血,我正想过去帮忙,他已经自己站起来了,我停步,看见他自己用手帕擦去血,自己爬上了脚踏车,一直到他走远了,我才回神,很感动很敬佩…… 我的碰撞其实什么都不是,他的可是跌撞啊,他的坚强,让我今天又上了好一堂课……

            嗯~
            有时常听到有一些四肢发达的人在埋怨时机不对,
            老天爷对他们不公平等等~
            其实有时侯我们都忘了,我们已经比太多的人好太多了…
            有缺陷的人都会努力的用自己的力量活下去,
            为什么我们不能?
            这是我遇到挫折的时候常勉励自己的话,
