Slept really late last night... like 3 am. And i actually gotta wake up at 6am for a photoshoot.

That's 6am here. Early in the morning! It still look like it's 8pm! The moon was super bright and big.  It shined through my windows for 2 consecutive nights.  I didn't expect to see this bright moon early at 6am today! Anyway i just got to sleep and i got up! 

Time always seems to pass faster in the morning. To me at least. I dragged my heavy body up to the kitchen and made coffee.  I am never a caffeine drinker. I can't take caffeine. I don't take coke, coffee, tea etc. But i know i need coffee for the shoot later on.  Or i will be zombified definitely! So i didn't brush my teeth and headed to the kitchen first thing first.  Made coffee and had an egg to go along with it.  Now that's my breakfast and i am already running late!  Shoot is at Sentosa!!!

Guess what? Guess i got lucky and i am endorse by Hair Visuals!!! Yay.... Thanks for sponsoring me.  I am so happy and grateful.  My stylist name is Kevin.  If you don't already know him, he has a few famous bloggers under his wings.  Just visit his facebook page here:

Hair Visuals

From today onwards, all my hair service will be done by Kevin himself.  A little bit on my hair condition now.  Very fried damaged hair straws!!! I will upload pictures of my hair soon.  First, Kevin is gonna give me an intensive hair treatment and i will do a review here.  So stay tuned.  Colouring will be up next after.  A responsible stylist who cares about your hair.. imagine that!  He will take care of your hair as much more than you yourself. Anyway, so he is doing my hair for my shoot today. 

Fishtail braid!!! I feel like Elsa from Frozen.. lol....

Tadah.... so pretty right? I mean the hair of course! That's for the first outfit.  A white bikini.  Won't be posting that today though... will be posting the second outfit instead.

And so we met the team of photographers and drove into Sentosa.  Weather forecast predicted that it's a stormy day today!  But we play by faith. And when we believe...

Bright and sunny!!! I slapped on my SPF 130 from Sunplay.  Swear by it! The first step to have a really fair skin is.... *secret*... Come back to my blog... i will reveal to you soon when i don't have anything to write...haha...

Anyway, i saw the beautiful beach and i realised that i had missed out alot in life.  Too much. I can't help but to question myself what is my life about now. Why is it work 24/7 and no off days? Do i really want this? For the first time, i came to a realization that this is not what i want.  I am not "healthy" i did not see the importance of little beautiful things in my surroundings. But tell me how when you have a shop to run, shoots to do, and online business to venture? Travel around Asia for outsourcing goods. I think i really had enough. Retail business peaks December till late January... i have decided to have rest days... maybe not fortunate like most of you but I'd be really happy to have off days twice a month.  I know... how many people actually work without off days right? I do.  So 2 off days makes me happy now... as in not starting from now but after January.

So ya, erm... back to the photoshoot...

As you already know, Hair Visual is my hair sponsor and all of my hair job will be done by Kevin from now onwards.  That's Kevin in action for my second outfit.  He did such an amazing job that i think all of you should just go to him when u need to get your hair job.  Quote my name YVONNE LAREINA to enjoy a 20% discount off!!!

I really can't wait to see the photos!!! I have so many behind the scenes photos that i have yet to post... i will upload here (continue from this post tomorrow)

Our group "wefie" and everyone look great here.  Oh ya, the guy in red Nike shirt is super kind and nice.  He's a personal friend of the Goh family and came to help out!!! He let me have his towel on the sand without a second thought.  A real life angel.  We should open our eyes and see little things that people sacrifice unconditionally.  I saw that, have you?

That elegant lady on my left is Catherine.  Amazing photographer.  A photographer who's taller than the model herself. Lol.  She's so tall!!! Okay, i am only 167cm if you are wondering. And that's Martini on your far right.  He taught me so many things and i am really lucky.  Truly blessed and grateful. There's Mark Goh and his brother Goh.. confusing huh... ya.. There's Tommy who's really good at shooting those Taiwan feel photos if you know what i mean. Oh that's Maria from Australia who did my hair art today.  Super sweet lady!!

A little bit about Mark Goh..

"Mark Goh receive another interview from UK Photoshop Magazine on his sharing on his art of manipulation.He presented a few of his works, One of them is the manipulation of our Singapore's model,Yvonne LaReina Lee sitting on a flower. Feeling proud for him" -Quoted by Catherine

Super amazing right?!

My shoot ended with a box of chocolate as an early Christmas gift from Catherine. Feel so blessed.  So touched!!!

I love chocolates!!!

Woah, i guess for the first time in a long time i wrote so much.  It does feel good to express.  But sometimes i wonder if anyone actually really read the content.  Most of the people would actually just scroll down to see photos.  Right?  I mean nowadays unless i am posting nude or anything about sex then maybe it will interest people. Haha... but i really do hope you enjoy reading this post of mine.  I may not write in the best English i admit.. but i am very true to my feelings and my post.  I really need to go to sleep already as i only had 3 hours of sleep last night.  Tomorrow gonna go to Glittz Smile Dental to see my end results for my clear braces!!! Till then, good night...

Loving today, loving every new people i meet today... Blessed.
