Blogpost 1 :

Blogpost 2 : 

language is never a problem, smile is everything

Blogpost 3: 

Always Be Positive and smile

Here is just a small part of my ideas and sketching. 

this was my first time using such big tripod and heavy DSLR to record my painting . 

It was hot and bright because of the BIG studio light , my face is going to have sunburn soon. lol

after that need to copy the video to my laptop, edit , cut and next need to record my voice and lastly upload to youtube and blog about it. Look easy sound easy but not easy hahaha. 

It took me 2 days to complete it but the result is satisfied =) 

Finally! the day has come, the result day! 

I was watching Fast & Furious 7 alone in Mid vally. 

and I received a msg from Nuffnang that I've won the contest! 

I'm so so so so so happy and almost want to scream and cry in the cinema ! 

but...I dint la of course, later strangers thought I'm crazy . 

The first thing is call to my family and friends! 

and finally Nuffnang called us and arranged a date for the 3 of us to meet the PR from Invisalign Malaysia . Her name is Valerie too, she's very friendly , professional and helpful .

Language is never a problem, Smile is everything

Hi everyone! 

How's your day! Hope all doing fine & great ! 

I would like to share a happy & short story to you,

here the story begins 

I believe everyone love Bangkok!  So do I ! 

This was my second visit to Bangkok, I'm a handmade lover of course i couldn't miss the best market in Bangkok which is Jatujak (Chatuchak) ,  It is a big big big giant huge market, 

I can spend my whole day there shopping, see see look look , eat yummy Thailand foods ! 

I won't go back hotel with empty hands for sure. 

We reach there by 9am, after few hours of shopping under humid weather with tired body 

and finally Lunch time is here so we were digging our lunch , 

everywhere is full of people we couldn't even find a comfy place with fan, table and chair. 

and we found this restaurant beside road side , so we finally settled down . 

our cold drinks under hot weather, how refreshing is that ! 

and soon , the owner of the restaurant from Spain came out to show everyone how to cook 

 an authentic Paella (Spain food) . 

Food is ready and in just a min half of it sold !!!

everyone is queuing for the delicious Paella 

Look at the BIG fresh prawns and BIG fresh mussel  @_@  

After a long long queue like 15minutes , finally my turn ! 

The cashier said one plate is 170baht ( RM19) 

and I was happily take out my wallet only realised 

.

.

.

I LEFT 100 baht (RM11)  !!!!

was digging all over my wallet and handbag, that's the last 100 baht left after a long shopping day...

yes, O.M.G. 

I was in panic and the people who queuing behind me started to show unhappy face and complaining why I took so long to pay. Everyone in the restaurant is looking at me, 

 I felt very guilty, awkward and sorry for making those who queuing under bright hot sun , 

 I dint know how to speak Thai nor Spain language 

and they don't understand what I'm saying too , 

I can only give them a bright smile and wave my hand saying that I doesn't have enough money to buy the yummy Paella and let the people behind me to buy. 

the owner who cooking beside me saw it and he understand what I'm trying to tell, 

and so , he passed me a plate of the Paella , and telling me ' FREE , FREE '' 

I was so touched and surprised !!!!! 

I insisted to give him my last 100baht , he doesn't want to take it ,

and said ' SHOPPING , SHOPPING ' , He's telling me to use the last 100baht to shop later . 

LOL! 

Thank you !!!! It meant so much to me !

Language is never a problem, Smile is everything 

I take out my camera and asked for a selfie,

the chef is happily nod his head and pose with me! 

Thanks for making my Bangkok trip full of good memories! 

and here is my  FREE yummy delicious authentic Paella by this wonderful Chef from Spain !!! 

I will definitely visit here next time ! 

 Nothing taste better than a free lunch by a friendly kind heart chef ! 

It was sooooooo good ! I was so happy until smile non stop while having my lunch. 

Just a simple kind act and you can help other's people , 

I hope I can help some one next time !

Good Luck & smile !

You'll never know what will happened on your saddest day!

The Story about two Valerie

Hi dear all, 

how's your day! 

This is a short story about how I meet her and we became a good good friend! 

Have you noticed we have the exactly same teeth? :D 

How the story begins and what so special about us?

we both have the same name, Valerie. 

we know each other thru online game, 

but I wasn't really close with her, we were only Hi-Bye friends. 

One day she decided to meet us ,

 so she fly to Malaysia just to meet us (Malaysia online game friends) , 

well of course I'm happy to meet her! 

The first impression was 

' WE HAVE THE SAME NAME AND SAME CROOKED TEETH !! '

the shapes, the crooked part is totally the same!

and our friends was laughing at us and said :

' LOOK! They're having the exactly same crooked teeth! ' 

and they keep laughing at us, 

we can only smile to each other and laugh with them to escape this extremely awkward moment. . 

Since many years ago, I'm very afraid on how people laugh and look at my crooked teeth, that's why I never laugh /smile with my mouth wide open , every time I laugh I'll just use my hand to cover my mouth. I have no confident at all . I was actually very down and sad on the whole day...

.

.

.

.

.

But guess what , due to this incident, we both became good good friend! 

Just like twins! 

we started to share our own story, own hobby, 

our daily life routine, gossips just like what other's bff do.  we msg each other everyday, 

we always send each other our daily picture, our foods picture especially ,

even thou she's in Singapore and I'm in Malaysia BUT we don't feel like we're far part, 

we're just like living next to each other.

after few months

 I decided go to Singapore alone to find her, 7 hours by bus with my small backpack. 

this was my first time travel another country alone, altho Singapore is just beside Malaysia but still need lots of courage to do so. 

She take Leave to accompany me to shopping , eat & be my tour guide :D

.

.

.

and 3 months later she told me she decided take bus come to visit me again but alone ! 

I know she's afraid of coming alone ( cause of Malaysia is not safe if compared to Singapore )

 but she still willing to do this for me, just to see me again.

Time flies, 3days 2 night ended so quickly. 

She have to go back Singapore and I have to stay in Malaysia. 

I know her well , she know me well, before she leave we almost cry, 

but we hold our tears and give each other a big big hug 

and 

promise each other we're going to meet very soon . 

Thanks to our crooked teeth make us became best friend. 

Beside her I'm no longer afraid of showing my teeth to everyone, 

not even in front of the camera. I'm just proud of it :) 

cause that's the thing that brought us together. 

that's the thing to make us look alike. 

Sometimes, we'll look in to the mirror and laugh at our crooked teeth together. 

I hope someday we both can fix our crooked teeth together 

and show the world our teeth is perfectly fine!

Smile ! 

Love,

Valerie &Valerie
