Craziest Eyebrow Fails Ever

2011-07-11T16:00:00.000-07:00

Eyebrows are one of those small details you don’t usually notice at a person, except when it’s gone or has a totally different shape that it should. It’s interesting to note that a lot of these photos appear to be mugshots. Apparently committing crime and eyebrow-murder go hand in hand. So here are the worst female eyebrows you could come across!

Crazy Fashion Looks Ever

2011-07-11T15:54:00.000-07:00

Fashion has always been a bit strange and unusual. Artists and fashion creators were always trying to find the strangest and most original expression and new ways to shock the public. Have a look at this great collection of the weirdest fashion creations. Some of them are not so successful.

Craziest Photos Taken At Unusual Angle

2011-07-11T15:25:00.000-07:00

These pictures speak for themselves thousand words. Today’s collection is amazing unusual photos taken at right distance. Overlapping, positions, and timing can sometimes create a brand new perspective of a photo. We want to show you 25 Funny Photos Taken At Unusual Angle, a compilation of photos taken at the exact right timing and angle, thus creating a humor side of the story; intentionally or unintentionally.

Top 10 Strange Pictures That Shocked The World

2011-07-11T15:03:00.000-07:00

It has often been said throughout time that a picture is worth a thousand words. Any picture may be worth a thousand words, but only a few rare photos tell more than a thousand words. They tell a powerful story, a story poignant enough to change the world and galvanize each of us. Over and over again…

From the iconic images of Omayra Sanchez’s tragic death to the horrifying images of the Bhopal Gas disaster in 1984, the power of photography is still alive and invincible.

Here is my top 10 list of photos that shocked the world:

Warning: Be prepared for images of violence and death (in one case, the photograph of a dead child) if you scroll down.
10. Kosovo Refugees (Carol Guzy)
Carol Guzy, the first woman to receive a Pulitzer Prize for spot news photography, received her most recent Pulitzer in 2000 for her touching photographs of Kosovo refugees.

The above picture portrays Agim Shala, a two-year-old boy, who is passed through a fence made with barbed wire to his family. Thousands of Kosovo refugees were reunited and camped in Kukes, Albania.
9. War Underfoot (Carolyn Cole)
Los Angeles Times photographer Carolyn Cole took this terrifying photo during her assignment in Liberia. It shows the devastating effects of the Liberian Civil War.

Bullet casings cover entirely a street in Monrovia. The Liberian capital was the worst affected region, because it was the scene of heavy fighting between government soldiers and rebel forces.
8. Thailand Massacre (Neil Ulevich)
Neal Ulevich won the 1977 Pulitzer Prize for a “series of photographs of disorder and brutality in the streets of Bangkok, Thailand” (Pulitzer.com).

The Thammasat University Massacre took place on October 6, 1976. It was a very violent attack on students who were demonstrating against Field Marshall Thanom Kittikachorn.

F. M. T. Kittikachorn was a dictator who was planning to come back to Thailand. The return of the military dictator from exile provoked very violent protests. Protestors and students were beaten, mutilated, shot, hung and burnt to death.
7. After the Storm (Patrick Farrell)
Miami Herald photographer Patrick Farrell captured the harrowing images of the victims of Haiti in 2008. Farrell documented the Haitian tragedy with impressive black-and-white stills. The subject of “After the Storm” is a boy who is trying to save a stroller after the tropical storm Hanna struck Haiti.

More photos of Patrick Farrell: A People in Despair: Haiti’s year without mercy
6. The Power of One (Oded Balilty)
In 2006, Israeli authorities ordered the evacuation of illegal outposts, such as Amona. Oded Balilty, an Israeli photographer for the Associated Press, was present when the evacuation degenerated into violent and unprecedented clashes between settlers and police officers. The picture shows a brave woman rebelling against authorities.

Like many pictures on this list, “The Power of One” has been another subject of major controversy. Ynet Nili is the 16-year-old Jewish settler from the above picture. According to Ynet, “a picture like this one is a mark of disgrace for the state of Israel and is nothing to be proud of. The picture looks like it represents a work of art, but that isn’t what went on there. What happened in Amona was totally different.” Nili claims the police beat her up very harshly. “You see me in the photograph, one against many, but that is only an illusion – behind the many stands one man – (Prime Minister Ehud) Olmert, but behind me stand the Lord and the people of Israel.”
5. World Trade Center 9/11 (Steve Ludlum)
The power of Steve Ludlum’s photos are astounding, and the written description only tends to dilute the impact. The consequences of the second aircraft crashing into New York’s WTC were devastating: fireballs erupted and smoke billowed from the skyscrapers anticipating the towers’ collapse and monstrous dust clouds.

4. After the Tsunami (Arko Datta)
One of the most representative and striking photos of the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami was taken by Reuters photographer Arko Datta in Tamil Nadu. He won the World Press Photo competition of 2004. Kathy Ryan, jury member and picture editor of The New York Times Magazine, characterized Datta’s image as a “graphic, historical and starkly emotional picture.”

“After the Tsunami” illustrates an Indian woman lying on the sand with her arms outstretched, mourning a dead family member. Her relative was killed by one of the deadliest natural disasters that we have ever seen: the Indian Ocean tsunami.

3. Bhopal Gas Tragedy 1984 (Pablo Bartholomew)
Pablo Bartholomew is an acclaimed Indian photojournalist who captured the Bhopal Gas Tragedy into his lens. Twenty-six years have passed since India’s worst industrial catastrophe injured 558,125 people and killed as many as 15,000. Because safety standards and maintenance procedures had been ignored at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, a leak of methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals triggered a massive environmental and human disaster. Photographer Pablo Bartholomew rushed to document the catastrophe. He came across a man who was burying a child. This scene was photographed by both Pablo Bartholomew and Raghu Rai, another renowned Indian photojournalist. “This expression was so moving and so powerful to tell the whole story of the tragedy”, said Raghu Rai.
2. Operation Lion Heart (Deanne Fitzmaurice)
Pulitzer Prize award winning photojournalist Deanne Fitzmaurice won the highly respected award in 2005 for the photographic essay “Operation Lion Heart.”

“Operation Lion Heart” is the story of a 9-year-old Iraqi boy who was severely injured by an explosion during one of the most violent conflicts of modern history – the Iraq War. The boy was brought to a hospital in Oakland, CA where he had to undergo dozens of life-and-death surgeries. His courage and unwillingness to die gave him the nickname: Saleh Khalaf, “Lion Heart”.

Deanne Fitzmaurice’s shocking photographs ran in the San Francisco Chronicle in a five-part series written by Meredith May.

1. Tragedy of Omayra Sanchez (Frank Fourier)
Frank Fournier captured the tragic image of Omayra Sanchez trapped in mud and collapsed buildings. The eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia 1985 triggered a massive mudslide. It devastated towns and killed 25,000 people.

After 3 days of struggling, Omayra died due to hypothermia and gangrene. Her tragic death accentuated the failure of officials to respond quickly and save the victims of Colombia’s worst ever natural disaster. Frank Fournier took this photo shortly before Omayra died. Her agonizing death was followed live on TV by hundreds of millions of people around the world and started a major controversy. May her soul rest in peace…

Infant & Child Massage/Tuina (12 & 13 June 2010)

2010-06-14T06:43:00.000-07:00

Infant and child massage/tuina facilitates kids to have a deeper understanding, integration and connection with their parents and caregivers.

Last weekend, our Academy was filled with happy kids "seasoned" with massage and tuina, older kids more keen in poking fun on younger ones as well as "fussy" baby with loads of "complaints". Nonetheless, we believe the parents had picked up relevant skills from our facilitators - licenced Chinese Physician Ai Tee and Certified International Infant Massage Instructor Penny Chew.

Remembering Childhood Days

2010-04-24T07:29:00.000-07:00

We were once kids before we reached this stage of development. We missed the days when we used to play hide and seek in the backyard, eat simple snacks (Kuai Kuai) and read "lao fu zi" comics . Childhood days are the days when life was lived with no complexities.

It is inevitable that we grow up but that does not mean that we lose sight of our childhood memories. There is always a child in all of us! These items was found during my shopping spree in HK, Shenzhen and Bugis Junction....Ha ha...probably its signs of "ageing"

HOSTING VISIT OF CIBTAC ASSESSOR

2010-04-07T07:32:00.000-07:00

Introducing Lynn Gregory and her husband Ian. We had a wonderful lunch followed by a short stroll along the harbourfront of Esplanade.

Lynn is a bubbly & fun lady, but very meticulous in everything she does. In her own words, she describe herself as a "perfectionist" and works like a "dragon"!

Overcoming Disability - 蕭煌奇

2010-04-05T08:18:00.000-07:00

A very talented blind singer/song writer Xiao Huang Qi's "You Are My Eyes" - 你是我的眼. Its a very meaningful song. I hope it can inspire us to "unclench our fist" and extend our hand to offer a little help to those who need us!

作詞：蕭煌奇　作曲：蕭煌奇　編曲：洪筠惠

謹將這首歌　獻給所有曾被感動過的朋友

如果我能看得見　就能輕易地分辨白天黑夜
如果我能看得見　就能準確地在人群中　牽住你的手
如果我能看得見　就能駕車帶你到處遨遊就能驚喜的從背後給你一個擁抱
如果我能看得見生命也許完全不同可能我想要的我喜歡的我愛的都不一樣

眼前的黑不是黑　你說的白是什麼白
人們說的天空藍　是我記憶中那團白雲背後的藍天
我望向你的臉　卻只能看見一片虛無
是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了簾　忘了掀開

你是我的眼　帶我領略四季的變換
你是我的眼　帶我穿越擁擠的人潮
你是我的眼　帶我閱讀浩瀚的書海
因為你是我的眼　讓我看見世界就在我眼前

Community Work @BPCC - Sharing from the Heart

2010-03-08T15:32:00.000-08:00

Community Work — symbolizes a whole life, a kindness, a compassion, a consideration. When we take the word and make it into action, it can become amazing outcomes. Community work can also rebuild a life, a community, a body, even rebuild a heart. It is also a constant reminders on the importance of one's well being.

It was a "rowdy" afternoon at the recording studio where we have lots of fun. Apart from the usual updates, chatting and posing for photos, the essence of this afternoon's programme was from a lady listener.

She requested Fenying to repeat the contact number again....and slowly....because she was "disturbed" twice by an aeroplane which flypast her house whenever Fenying announce the contact number. In her words "每次你报电话号码，那飞机就飞来吵我, 我就听不到!".....very humorous lady! Ha Ha Ha

COPING WITH EXAM "FEVER"

2010-01-29T22:14:00.000-08:00

The CIBTAC examination season in Apr would be hovering the mind of our Beauty Aesthetic students. Relax...... Practice Abdominal Breathing

Instructions

Step 1
Lie on your back in a comfortable setting. It's easier to practice abdominal breathing in a quiet environment.

Step 2
Place one hand on your abdomen, below the rib cage, and one on your chest. Placing your hands on the abdomen and chest helps you focus on using your diaphragm while breathing. The diaphragm is dome-shaped and assists with breathing. It moves downward and upward during inhalation and exhalation. Our lungs expand and deliver more oxygen when the diaphragm moves.

Step 3
Breathe slowly through your nose. Hold the air for 7 seconds. Your stomach will rise, raising your hand. The hand on your chest should remain still.

Step 4
Exhale all of the air slowly through your mouth while counting to 8. Let yourself go while exhaling, and imagine your entire body relaxing.

Step 5
Repeat this cycle four more times. This allows your body to relax.

Step 6
Practice abdominal breathing twice a day. If you practice abdominal breathing often, it becomes a normal process, and you'll notice health benefits. Abdominal breathing increases energy and reduces stress and anxiety

"‘O Sole Mio" - Song for Our Graduation March

2010-01-02T07:17:00.000-08:00

"O sole mio" or My Sun is a well known Neapolitan song. Someone ask me why I choose this song for our CIBTAC Graduation March.

No particular reasons....just that I felt it has a triumphant feel mixed with nostalgia. A perfect fitting for a commencement that marks the end of one journey and the start of a "Sunny" tomorrow!

"Thorn" of Beauty

2009-12-05T05:09:00.000-08:00

In the 80s or 90s, it would have been unusual for a man to go for facial or skin care related treatment. But, if trend predictions are correct, it seems our Beauty Salons are about to be over-run with men going for facial as well as men offering beauty services.

Kudos to our male graduand Gene who may set trends for market for Male Beauty & Skin Care!
