謝謝你, 就是你 by ZPGY

2008-06-23T01:26:00.011+08:00

My group of friends and I (we call ourselves ZPGY aka 猪朋狗友) recently composed/ produced a song 謝謝你, 就是你, inspired by the recent Sichuan earthquake. We hope to spread it to China and even share with the rest of the world.

The ZPGYs comprise of local singers, musicians, and others. Some familiar faces you might spot include Tay Kewei, Chanel Pang, Ruth Chua, Dawn Wong, EinEin, etc. We all came together as one and piece this whole project with our efforts.

The song mixing and video filming/ editing may not be as professional, but it contains our blood and perspiration.

We’re in the midst of negotiating to have our song included in a compilation album.

Till then, I hope to share this self-filmed MV with you and pls do continue to spread our love to your friends and let it chain on!

Don't forget to rate/ leave comments after you view it!! :)))

Writer's Block

2008-06-05T03:50:00.018+08:00

I'm not a writer (well, at least not professionally). But I sure have been suffering from Writer's Block, truly.

O K . . . K I T T Y . . . C U T T H E C R A P ! ! ! ! !

*SLAPS*

******************************************************

It's been 8.5mths since I joined my current company. And that's how long Keishi's been in London.

Keishi, hurry come back!!!

*****************************************************

I travelled twice in the last 1.5mths.

Hong Kong --- April 24th - 28th
Travelled with family. To visit relatives. If you do not already know, yes, I have grand-uncle, uncles, aunties, cousins, etc. in HK.

The story went something like this...

Many donkey mule years ago, my grandma + siblings left China (our hometown was Fuzhou) in search of greener pastures. My grandma decided to settle in Singapore, whereas the others opted for HK.

Yes, that's how I ended up landing in Singapore. I could have carried a Hong Kong passport, lived in a country with 4 seasons (although no snow), and worn pretty winter clothes. My circle of friends could have had more cute guys!

There could have been many more "could have's"... but... oh well... that's life for ya....

Bangkok --- May 8th - 11th
Travelled with friends. 10 of them to be exact. Lemme share with you our manifest.

Initial group to travel consisted of 4 poly friends -----
Jordan + Arthur + Kendrik + Me

Then 2 more joined in -----
Jordan + Jordan's GF + Arthur + Arthur's Colleague + Kendrik + Me

Another 3 decided to tag along -----
Jordan + Jordan's GF + Arthur + Arthur's Colleague + Kendrik + Me + My Best Pal + My Best Pal's Hubby + My Best Pal's Hubby's Younger Brother

Before we could say "HUH?!", Traveller #10 booked his ticket -----
Jordan + Jordan's GF + Arthur + Arthur's Colleague + Kendrik + Me + My Best Pal + My Best Pal's Hubby + My Best Pal's Hubby's Younger Brother + Our Poly Pakistani Friend

Verdict --- Always keep to maximum 5 in a single travel group to avoid over-exhausting yourself.

******************************************************

ZPGY has been Sugie-less since March '08, eversince he received the Golden Ticket to Taipei to compete in 星光大道3. Who would expect that the first to be eliminated from 绝对Superstar 1 would make it this far in an even bigger scale singing contest!!

Correction.

I have expected this day to come. From the first time I saw Sugie perform on TV in 2005, I knew there was something special him, but, sadly, his hidden appeal wasn't appreciated/ discovered by many then.

Sugie, you've made ZPGY proud, for making it into Top 9 in 星光3. You may be taking a break now. But you'll shine in the upcoming revival round. We root for you.

We miss Sugie.

******************************************************

Wejian's gone to Taipei too, for a month. Finally recording for his debut album has completed. Warner's arranged for him to take dance lessons from a very reputable Taiwanese celebrity dance instructor. Another SUPER reputable MV director will be taking care of his MVs! Whooosh!!!

Jian's becoming a real celebrity singer! Whooosh!!!

We love Jian. He's suchhhhhhhhhh an adorable boy. So genuine and real. He's a gem.

******************************************************

Chanel was deeply saddened by Sichuan Earthquake, which in turn, inspired her to write a song "谢谢你，就是你". Because ZPGY is made up of so many multi-talented talents, the song was very quickly passed on to Ein, Mark & Jinsei for arrangement.

Kewei hooked us with Stereo Image (Thanks Michael!) and before we knew it, over 20 ZPGY friends were walking into recording studio and singing Chanel's song!

I just listened to the first mix. Though still raw, it's incredible!!!

The voices you'll hear:

Chanel Pang 冯靖莹 (绝对Superstar 1)
Ruth Chua 蔡诗妮 (绝对Superstar 1)
Dawn Wong 黄川美 (绝对Superstar 2)
Tay Kewei 可为 (Need no further introduction)
Lee Ein Ein 李盈盈 (SuperBand 1 "Amber" -- 著名音乐创作人 -- 作品包括潘嘉丽 "印象派的爱情")
Lin Juan 林娟 (著名音乐创作人 -- 作品包括周惠 "Hold Me Tight")
Xie Buwei 谢布玮 (著名音乐创作人 -- 作品包括楊宗緯 "幸福的风")
Mark Shi 施于淳 (SuperBand 2 "三月" -- 著名音乐创作人 -- 作品包括陳曉東-灰飛煙滅)

A Lonely Thursday Night...

2007-11-15T23:25:00.000+08:00

It's 11.21pm on a Thursday night and I'm still in the office. I'm not kidding when I say for the past 2 weeks, I have absolutely NO TIME to blog. All thanks to the upcoming X'MAS FAIR that's due to happen next weekend, Nov 24 & 25 @ Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. It's our bi-annual mega event of the year.

To all tech-ky consumers, this is not to be missed. Check out the bargain deals and latest gadgets!

More details to come...

Cheap Des

2007-11-05T21:54:00.000+08:00

DESMOND GAN CHIA CHIN!

I hereby announce that Xin and I are severing all ties with you!!! Do you realise you're one serious case of "heavy colour light friend" (read: 重色轻友) friend?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Everytime you enter a relationship, she is ALL you can see. The world just revolves around you and her. The word "friend" suddenly disappears from your dictionary.

You promised to meet up last Saturday before flying back to Melbourne. Xin was so excited on her debut trip to JB, after hearing us talk about the cheap and good food & shopping there.

But WHERE WERE YOU??????????????????????????????????????????????????
(Only God knows.)

You were uncontactable, AGAIN. Very disappointed.

Don't get us wrong. Olivia's a lovely girl. We love her. You two seem so in love. We're very happy for you both.

But pls pls pls pls pls...... learn to juggle both girlfriend and friends equally.

Otherwise, it won't be long before you realise you have not many numbers left in your phone book.

We want the old Des back!

At a winery in Melbourne, April '07

To all my other friends, pls DON'T EVER (I repeat... NEVER EVER...!!!) do this to me. It's unbearable. I've lost a couple of friends to relationships. One of whom is my bestest friend since poly.

Ever since she got attached (which was over 2 years ago), I've not seen her more than 5 times. This pales largely in comparison to our meetup frequency of once a week in the past.

Sigh...... Maybe it's time to make new friends......

ACER Sucks

2007-11-04T19:05:00.001+08:00

I vow this is the first and LAST time I'm buying anything from Acer.

Slightly after a year after I bought my current Acer laptop, I noticed the appearance of a line that ran from top of the LCD screen to the bottom. I thought nothing about it.

A few days later, another line appeared. Still, I did nothing.

A week later, I had 10 vertical lines of assorted colours on my laptop screen. Hmmm... colourful.

I logged on to Acer website to find out the location of the service centre, and "on the way" checked my warranty expiry date. To my dismay, my warranty was only ONE year!!!! And I just passed the one year mark!!!

I mean, I paid full price for this laptop, it wasn't on any promotion! Shouldn't I deserve at least 2 years of warranty????????????????????

Now, I have to spend $550 to repair the hardware defect!! What rubbish?!

I'm even more upset at the unreliability of Acer products. Afterall, the laptop's only over a year old! What shit is this?!

I refused to pay, and decided to live with it. Another 6 months down the road, this is how my screen looks now......

... K N N ~~~~~

Power Puffies

2007-11-01T23:59:00.000+08:00

September 19, 2007 --- My first day in the Big Red Corporation, which, once upon a time, was a Monopoly.

November 01, 2007 --- My 45th day in the Big Red Corporation (also translating into 1.5 months of stay), whose current biggest competitor is the Big Green Firm.

Ok fine, so 75% of the Events Marketing Team is new. It doesn't mean we can be trampled over by other departments who think "they know everything simply because they've been around longer".

It doesn't mean we have to bear the consequences from mishaps that occurred during the transition period.

Because 75% of the team is new, all the more is a good opportunity for us to relook into the old system and make adjustments to make our operations more efficient and budget-sensitive, at the same time, keeping the effective modus operandi passed on by the predecessors.

The Events Marketing Team is now made up of 4 Power Puffies (short for Power Puff Girls). We came from different backgrounds. Before September 19, all of us didn't know the existence of one another. Today, we have built a good rapport. Our working styles, though different, surprisingly are able to complement.

We will fight all enemies who try to invade our castle.

Another 16 months later...

2007-09-30T22:50:00.000+08:00

When I was 14 years old, I couldn't wait to turn 16 (so I could go FIRE Disco).

When I was of eligible age to go FIRE, I wished I were 21 instead. So I could openly step into the theatres to watch R(A) movies.

Until then, the clock always seemed to tick extra slowly. Now, time seeps through my fingers like sand in an hourglass.

It didn't hit me that my last blog post was (exactly) 16 months ago! SIXTEEN freakin' months... OMG!

I'm one who does things on impulse spasms. Blogging spasms are back again.

More to come...

3 Months Later...

2006-05-30T23:31:00.000+08:00

No... I didn't stay in HK for 3 mths. Neither did I get lost in HK. It was plain laziness. Guilty!

And I came back to find that my total no. of hits has reached over 10k! Whoa!

Over the course of 3mths (after my 4D3N HK trip), many things happened in my life...

April 1st weekend: Warner-Chappell Taiwan invited me to a Warner songwriters music sharing session in KL, and I got upclose and personal with some of the most talented Warner Music songwriters from Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, who have written pop Mandarin songs like 人质、平常心、我要快乐、黑白化映、一公尺、爱无力、答案、随堂测验、魅力燃烧、我的爱、眼泪成诗、原点、 and many many more......
April 2nd week: In Bangkok with 3 guy friends, and shopped till we dropped!
Amber got in as one of the top 18 bands in SuperBand (a new competition, following Project Superstar, Campus Superstar & SuperHost, initiated by Channel U)
I stood in for Junli as wubbie for some of SuperBand episodes, and befriended the other SuperBand contestants.
May: Attended 11th COMPASS Awards Presentation, where I met Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin, Dick Lee, Joi Chua, and a whole bunch of songwriters & music publishers.
I began a weekly affair with MJ.
......

Anyways, do stay tuned for more details on the above-mentioned events... and other events that might just pop into my head along the way......

Wait for me... HK!!!

2006-02-23T00:05:00.000+08:00

Bwahahahahaha... 17 more hours and I'll be on my way to Hong Kong!!!

Woohoooo....~~~~~~~~~

See you guys next week!!

My V-Day SMS

2006-02-19T02:49:00.000+08:00

Weixiong is really a sweetie. On V-Day, I received an sms from him.

Dear Kitty.. May u find true love soon and start celebrating Vday happily with ur loved one. Dun rush.. Be patient and wait for your Mr Right :)

Aaawww... he's such a darling! It planted a big smile on my face that instant.

A while later, it got me thinking. There could be 2 reasons why he wrote that message to me in particular.

As a good friend, he's showing concern for me. I'm a nice enough girl who deserves a nice enough guy.
I've been bugging him too much that he wished for me to have a boyfriend so I can divert my attention to the boyfriend.

It's definitely the first reason. Period.

In his sms, there are 2 taboo words that you can hardly find in Kitty's Dictionary of Love...

"True Love"

I'm a skeptical person. Maybe it does exist (rarely) but I don't believe it'll happen to me. To begin with, I think I'm one with committment phobia, let alone finding Mr Right. I don't think I've ever given my whole heart to anyone before. In the past, whenever there's room for me to take a step further in a relationship, I back out, and place myself in closure.

*Shrugs* I don't know why.

I've had enough of people telling me, "It's because HE hasn't appeared yet. HE'll appear sooner or later. I'm sure."

In my opinion, you folks are saying this for the sake of consoling me. Not that I don't appreciate it. Thanks, but I don't quite buy that saying.

In any case, I'm not desperate. I enjoy being single. I earn enough to support myself. I can spend my money in whatever way I like. I have SuperFriends around me.

I don't need men. I can always get a vibrator.

Hahahaha......

A Birthday SMS To Goddess

2006-02-16T01:06:00.000+08:00

An ex-colleague turns 31 today.

This was my birthday sms to her:

Happy Birthday! When are you getting an ang mo boyfriend?

(Explain: She's slim, has tanned skin, and long black straight hair... Very SPG...)

And this was what she replied:

Ang sai lah! With saggy small tits, balding head and wrinkles, my chances are very slim indeed.

*Super ES*.

Till The Next Time...

2006-02-14T08:50:00.000+08:00

Folks, I have an announcement to make.

For some reasons, I've decided to close this blog site of mine. I find it pointless for me to continue anymore.

I may not have a strong reader base, like Cruz, but I do have some regulars.

To my regular readers, I'm sorry to drop this bomb. Please do not weep.

You can still tune in to my program on Y.E.S 933 on Saturdays 7am-10am. If you need to reach me, do feel free to write in to:
Y.E.S 933 Farrer Road PO Box 933 Singapore 912899

I'll leave this on for about a week more. In case you have any "last" words to say.

这个情人节，祝你幸福。

ASSUME = Making an ASS out of U & ME

2006-01-25T23:37:00.000+08:00

I'm exhausted. I don't even have enough time to sleep, let alone time to entertain boliao people.

If you have issues about me, confront me and clarify. Seriously I don't know what's going on. What have I said? It could have been unintentional or an act of oblivion.

Or are you feeling guilty over something?

Don't assume. Assumptions cause misunderstandings and misperceptions. Like how you mistook about the incident at CT's chalet last year. It will probably remain unresolved if we hadn't ironed it out in the first place.

Anyways, you can continue to perceive in your own ways. This is not the first time such friction is happening.

I'm drained. I have other better things to deal with.

Friends Who Read My Mind?

2006-01-20T08:34:00.000+08:00

When your friend insists on taking action on something, that you really hope to happen (even though you profusely refuse and try to stop your friend) but have no guts to act on it, then you know you have a good friend who can read your mind/thoughts.

Or perhaps, my friend is just still excited about his new acquisition hence doesn't mind all the hassle.

I choose to believe the former.

I'm lucky to have good friends. Not one, but two such friends, based on last night's incident (which I choose not to elaborate further).

People say, the happenings at the start of a brand new year, will determine how the rest of the year will turn out. From the first day of 2006, I've encountered happy incidents

I've been (sorta) promoted, with a significant pay increment
I've been meeting certain person/s whom I've been looking forward to meet.

2006 is a good year for me. I have a good boss. I have a well-paying job. I have good friends.

There's just ONE more wish yet to realise.....

Shy Cruz?!

2006-01-19T00:18:00.000+08:00

Cruz acting shy... Pui pui pui...!!!

我说。他说。

2006-01-17T16:49:00.000+08:00

我問他，你是不是 GAY﹖
..... 他，搖頭了。

我再問，你確定嗎？如果真的是，你可以告訴我。我是很開通的。
..... 他又搖頭說，我真的不是﹗

我問他，那為什麼他們沒聽你說你交過女朋友﹖
..... 我跟他們不常談心事啊﹗我沒跟他們說﹐並不代表我沒有過女朋友。

(过了一会儿.....)

他說，他事業還沒起步，要先以事業為重，暂时不去想其他的。
..... 我，點頭了。

我說，对啊，你是男生，有的是时间，不需着急，先赚钱吧。

Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Your Life Analysis:

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score leaves room for improvement. You can make changes to improve your trouble areas, and this will bring you greater satisfaction. Focus on your weakest points and set about to change them. Do not delay your happiness and success.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind's clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.

Body: Your body rating measures your body's health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. Your body score is fairly average, which means there is room for improvement. Keep a focus on your physical health. Protect your body as it is your most valuable physical asset. Nutrition, stress reduction, and exercise are key.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score leaves room for improvement. Consider making a concerted effort to redefine your attitudes and focus your beliefs. Boosting your spirit will lead to greater life satisfaction.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. You scored at the very low end for friends and family. This means that your social network is weak and not functioning. Consider re-establishing old bonds as you work on forging new ones. You will be greatly rewarded in return.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life's most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is very low, indicating trouble. There is love out there for you. Seek the advice of wise people on how to go about finding it. Do not lose hope.

Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. Your finances are somewhat in the middle, neither bad or exceptional. Keep doing what works for you, and improve what doesn't. Focus on long-term financial stability as your goal.

My Long Christmas Break

2005-12-27T14:39:00.000+08:00

My friends are mad!!!

For the past 3 consecutive nights (Christmas Eve + Christmas Day + Boxing Day), I didn’t reach home till about 5am.

And here I am, in office already, with only 1.5hrs of sleep from last night. Bye bye long weekend!

I really need to use super high power anti-fatique facial masks with maximum revitalizing concentrated extracts for the next 1 month, to “repair” the 3-day destruction caused to my complexion. No joke!

CHRISTMAS EVE (Saturday)

0700-1000hr
On radio shift.

1000-1230hr
Stayed back in 933 studio to do some production work.

1400-1800hr
Went home to nap.

2000hr
Our 猪朋狗友 gang planned to meet at Raffles Place Coffee Club for dinner. 10 of us. Couple of absentees included Princess Kelly (put us aeroplane) and Weixiong (had high fever of 39.4 deg). Must be from all the SuperHost stress and trainings.

I was on time, also the first to arrive.

2100hr
An hour of waiting. The 2 last latecomers finally turned up. I nearly fainted from hunger. Just then, the waitress came up to our table.

Waitress:
“Sorry but our kitchen is closing now, would you like to place your LAST orders?”

HUH?? We haven’t even placed any FIRST orders yet!

Me:
“Ermm… I thought you close at 11pm?”

Waitress:
“Errr… no, we close at 10pm today.”

Us:
“………………… ”
(Again, thanks to the latecomers!)

2200hr
Ok fine, we quickly placed our orders, and chop chop finished our dinner and was outta Coffee Club.

2200-2300hr
2 more friends turned up. Total number now is 12.

We found a quiet empty area inside a building (can’t remember the building name), settled down, and conducted our 废物大交换.

Now, 废物大交换 is a self-invented new form of exchange of presents, whereby we each bring something (that we don’t need/use but might be useful to others) from home and exchange with one another. Of course, there is bound to be some mischievous people who’ll really bring 废物, that is useless to anyone! Haha!

The christmas present I received from the exchange was a book light, imprinted with the word “LIBRARY” across. Doesn’t matter. It’s useful anyways! I can use it to read Female, Her World, etc.! Haha!

2300hr
Another 2 more friends turned up. Total number now is 14.

It was a quick coffee session at Boat Quay TCC.

2345hr
We proceeded to Boat Quay along riverside, bought a whole carton of snow foam spray cans and secretly planned in our minds, our targets (to spray on) later when midnight struck.

0000hr
And the clock struck midnight! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! It was madness!! It was chaotic!! Everyone was spraying snow foam on everyone else! We were all covered in thick white foam! And the floor was so slippery that some fell. Empty spray cans were being kicked as we ran about.

I reckoned I was one of the easier targets due to my height. Anyone just needed to lift their arms slightly and they would be at my face level already. As such, I kena so much on my face and hair!!! SUCH A MESS!!! But so fun!!!

Lucky I wasn’t dressed in my favourite outfit nor carrying my branded bag. Haha!

After a wild 20mins or so, we used up all our cans and were exhausted from the running and chasing. Perhaps age is really catching up on us! Haha!

0020-0100hr
Photo taking session and washing up at McDonald’s.

0100hr
It was MAFIA time! The full mechanics of MAFIA are too complicated to put into written words. In short, the roles involved consist of 1 or 2 Murderer/s (2 Murderers if more people play), 1 Spy & 1 Doctor. The rest will be Civilians. In short, the purpose of the game is to nap the Murderer/s.

Warning: This game is REALLY addictive! Have to see through people’s lies, watch out for nervous reactions/shifty eyes, etc……

0430hr
Alrighty, going home time. Our eyes were turning red and watery. We were yawning non-stop.

0600hr
ZzzZzzzzZz~

CHRISTMAS DAY (Sunday)

1700hr
I woke up. Shiok! When was the last time I had 11hrs worth of sleep?!

1900hr
Met the 猪朋狗友’s at Heeren Sakae Sushi for dinner. Group was smaller today. 7 of us.

2230hr
Ended up at Mr Bean. Time for MAFIA again!!

0400hr
Gosh! We didn’t realize we’d played MAFIA for almost 6hrs straight! Told ya, the game IS addictive!

0430hr
Reached home.

0530hr
ZzzZzzzzZz~

BOXING DAY (Monday)

1530hr
Woke up.

1730hr
Fell asleep while watching TV in the living room watching TV.

1930hr
Just as when I thought I could retire early tonight, in preparation for working day the next day, my mobile phone beeped. The sms read: “Dear all, shall we meet at 9pm, Plaza Sing TCC for more MAFIA?”

I nearly fainted… again (but not from hunger lar). My MAFIA addiction was kicking up.

I thought, “What the heck! Just go lar! Tomorrow then worry about how to stay awake at work lar!”

So off I went.

2100-2200hr
3 of us reached on time. We shopped around Plaza Sing, waiting for the latecomers.

2200hr
2 more 猪朋狗友’s arrived. And so, 5 of us headed into TCC, ordered drinks and continued to wait for more people to come.

2230hr
Waitress came to our table.

Waitress:
“Hi, any last orders?”

NOT AGAIN?!?!

Me:
“Ermmm… what time do you close?”

Waitress:
“We close at 11pm.”

Us:
“………………”

2300hr
We ended up at Mr Bean… again. Oh, can I just say their service sucks… BIG TIME!!!

By this time, 5 more friends had turned up. Total 10 of us now.

It’s MAFIA time!!! As much as I’m hooked to this game, I quite sucked at it. I can’t lie/act well! They could see through me almost instantly everytime I kena Mafia. Sigh…

0400hr
I didn’t quite realize it was already this late until I start yawning continuously. Looked at my watch and… O H M Y G O O D N E S S ! ! ! ! ! I had to be at work at 8.30am later!!!

0405hr
I bade the gang farewell. They stayed on and chit-chatted. POWER!

0530hr
ZzzZzzzzZz~

THE DAY AFTER BOXING DAY (Tuesday)

0700hr
Time to wake up. This single question kept popping into my head – “Should I call in sick today?” After much struggling, I decided against it and pulled myself outta bed… very reluctantly.

0845hr
In office with sibei heavy eyelids.

TV12 X'mas Idol 2005

2005-12-21T09:53:00.000+08:00

We had an office function cum X'mas party yesterday evening.

The Mechanics...

All staff were split into 7 teams. Each team had to put up a performance revolving the theme "X'mas Idol". When I first learnt of the theme, I was like, "For goodness sake, this is so overdone! Can't they be more innovative?".

But it turned out to be a very enjoyable evening - the first time I've ever laughed so hard in office premises! The performances made me change my perceptions of many of my colleagues. Behind their ritual straight faces (on normal working days) lie a rather naughty side that I never knew of! This is what I call “闷骚”.

The Award/Prize Presentation...

It was time to give out the awards and prizes to some outstanding staff performers. I knew a particular colleague expected himself to clinch one of the awards. He had put in a lot of effort and sweat into his segment. However he didn't get it. He appeared to be real calm and smiley. But I guessed his heart, in fact, was bleeding.

In case you're wondering, nah, my team didn't get anything. We only started our rehearsal the night before! Strictly speaking, it wasn't even a rehearsal to begin with, more like a read through. What to do, the people in my department are all super busy folks. Always on the go to bring in money for the company. Otherwise, how did we achieve a 30% revenue growth in just one year? Haha!

The Tranformation...

Our reception desk was being transformed into an open bar! Poor receptionist... I don't know how she's gonna deal with all the stickiness (from alcohol residues) when she comes in this morning!

(PS: Will upload some pics once ready.)

Disorientation At Lunch

2005-12-20T13:40:00.000+08:00

After giving it ALOT of thought, I have made up my mind!!! I decided...... to have economical rice (aka 菜饭) for lunch today! *Tsk tsk*

Me (points at kangkong):
Ah, auntie, 我要这个。

Auntie:
还有呢？

Me (points at some fried meat chunks):
这个是什么？

Auntie:
猪肉。

Me:
噢，OK，我要这个。

Auntie:
还有呢？
(this is probably the most commonly used phrase amongst all 菜饭 aunties/uncles)

Me:
Hmmm... curry chicken。

At this moment, the auntie threw me a disturbed look.

Auntie:
你还要鸡肉？
(note that she stressed on “还要”.)

I threw back an equally disturbed look and nodded my head.

Come on lah, what's wrong with having both pork and chicken? Cannot have 2 meat + 1 veg meh? Duh!

Just before the auntie closed the lid of my 菜饭 box, she added in a fried egg (I assumed it's FOC). Duh! Like the extra egg's gonna make the meal healthier loh! The best part was, she charged me a bloody $4.50 for my 2-meat-1-veg meal! Economical rice?! *PUI*

Anywayz, I da-bao my lunch and bought some cut fruits (watermelon + apples) at another stall on my way back to office.

Back in office, I was just about to start on my fruits when, to my dismay, I realised, instead of apples, the fruits auntie gave me honeydew!!! Arghhh!

H-E-L-L-O!!! 苹果 and 蜜瓜 don't sound alike at all lor!!!

What's wrong with people today?!?!?!

*Gasps*

Pre-Christmas Syndrome Part 1

2005-12-13T10:01:00.000+08:00

Damn! Why are SO many of my friends going away this Christmas? One is going to Vietnam, another to Hong Kong, another to Bangkok, another to Taiwan, another to China, and the list goes on...

Damn damn damn damn damn......

In the past, I used to be over-booked, having to rush from one venue to another, meeting different groups of people.

This year, looks like it's gonna be a QUIET Christmas.

I hate it. Christmas is my favourite festive season! I CANNOT stay at home! I repeat... I CANNOT STAY AT HOME!

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

2005-12-07T09:27:00.000+08:00

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

The Movie...
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Directed By...
Nick Park / Steve Box

Starring (Voice Talents)...
Peter Sallis (Wallace)
Helena Bonham Carter (Lady Tottingham)
Ralph Fiennes (Victor Quartermaine)

The Story...
The cheese-loving Wallace and his ever faithful dog Gromit - the much-loved duo from Aardman's Oscar-winning clay-animated "Wallace and Gromit" shorts - star in an all new comedy adventure, marking their first full-length feature film.

It's 'vege-mania' in Wallace and Gromit's neighbourhood, and our two enterprising chums are chasing in with their humane pest-control outfit, "Anti-Pesto." With only days to go before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, business is booming, but Wallace & Gromit are finding out that running a "humane" pest control outfit has its drawbacks as their west Wallaby Street home fills to the brim with captive rabbits.

Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, veg-ravaging "beast" begins attacking the town's sacred vegetable plots at night, and the competition hostess, Lady Tottington, commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and save the day. Lying in wait, however, is Lady Tottington's snobby suitor, Victor Quartermaine, who's rather shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero - not to mention Lady Tottington's hand in marriage. With the fate of the competition in the balance, Lady Tottington is eventually forced to allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable chomping marauder. Little does she know that Victor's real intent could have dire consequences for her...and our two heroes.

Some Facts You May Not Know About W&G...

1989: The original W&G titled "A Grand Day Out", in the form of clay-animated short film comedy, was created by Nick Park. It was Park's graduate project when he was a student at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, England. It was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Animated Short in 1990.
1994: Park's 2nd W&G film, "The Wrong Trousers", won the Academy Award® for Best Animated Short.
1996: Park's 3rd W&G short "A Close Shave" earned him yet another Oscar®.
"The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" is W&G's first full-length feature film, and primarily a 3D animation made up of a combination of computer animation and clay animation.
It took 5 years of solid work to complete this 85-minute feature.
All characters are molded from a special blend of Plasticine, which is slightly more durable than ordinary Plasticine. However, constant resculpting had to be done.
The characters' hair and clothing are molded and hand painted on each individual puppet.
You can see the fingerprints. It tells you they are real.They are tangible.
Every character had to be duplicated in different poses and in various costumes. E.g. Wallace had 35 versions; Lady Tottington & Victor had over a dozen versions.
In addition, there had to be an assortment of interchangeable and replaceable parts for each puppet, ranging from eyes and ears to heads and hands to mouths.
A team of 30 animators spent over 2 years to make the puppets "perform", by moving the puppets themselves and capturing into frames.
Gromit (the dog) had no mouth. His expressions had to be depended on brows, eyes and body.

My SuperFriends - The Dinner

2005-12-01T10:12:00.000+08:00

Last night - I had dinner with Kelly (yes, Channel U Project Superstar's Kelly Poon), Weixiong (our very own 933 part-time DJ cum SuperHost finalist), Kewei (the vocalist cum erhu player cum Tango dancer at the recent David Tao's Singapore concert), together with the bunch of our common friends.

Kelly has already started recording her album and it should be out in January 2006 (if all goes well, that is). So all those who've been waiting till their necks have grown longer, just hang on there for a while more!

Weixiong has been very busy with SuperHost preparations, having to be at MediaCorp almost everyday that kinda stuff. Btw, who watched the opening dance (by all 16 finalists) on Tuesday? We kept teasing Weixiong that his dancing was "superb" and that it was one of a kind! Hahaha... well, Weixiong isn't exactly the hip-hop kinda person. But let's still give him a pat on the back for his efforts and diligent practises. Hahaha... (I can't help but laugh again, at the thought of him dancing.)

The first females' round just ended on Tuesday. Next week, it'll be the males' first round. Yes, harsh reality (or some may call it pure cruelty) has sunk in. Everyone's on the tip of their toes, and watching their own backs.

娱乐圈是黑暗的。

Having ended his Love Can World Tour 2005 in Singapore last Saturday (26/11/05), David Tao has departed Singapore. Singapore's the 3rd Asian stop, after Shanghai and Beijing. His next destination will be Taipei in January. If you didn't manage to catch his concert, all I can say is... what a pity!! It was SUPERB! Much better than his 2003 concert. This time round, he was in tip top form, hence was able to deliver his singing very well!

My seat was GREAT! My view was GREAT! (Thanks Kewei, for choosing the seats!)

What was extra special about this concert was that my friend, Kewei, was part of the concert, taking on the roles of David Tao's vocalist AND erhu player AND Tango dance partner. Overall, Kewei played David's "love interest" throughout the concert.

The feeling of seeing my idol and my friend performing together on stage was beyond what words could describe. I was so high that night! I'm exhilarated for Kewei. It's her dream come true. Imagine, being able to travel with David Tao and Kheng Long (the concert's music director) and the entire band (who are all extremely talented people) all over Asia! After Taipei, they'll be heading for Hong Kong, Malaysia and even the States, I heard.

Oh wellz, what else can I say except that I have SuperFriends!

Woohooo...~

This Rush...

2005-11-14T12:09:00.000+08:00

I cannot contain my excitement. About tonight. Not because I’m going to the Gala Premiere of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

In fact, I’ve been feeling excited the past week. Some events have made me look forward to attending them. I can’t say in details. For there are certain few individuals who may read this blog and who will know what I’m talking about. They can’t know..... as yet.

It’s been a while since I felt this rush of thrill. I simply have to get it out... somewhere... somehow...

And hence this post.

Guilty Of Not Blogging

2005-10-31T10:48:00.000+08:00

I'm guilty. Guilty of being too lazy to update my blog regularly. And letting those, who constantly check out this site, down.

What's the real deal with blogging anyway? Why do people blog? To inform others about your everyday life? Even to strangers? Why would random bloggers who chance upon your site be interested to know?

My command of English is not superb. I'm not funny with words. I don't have that exciting a life. I don't have freebies to giveaway online. What reason/s do I have, to blog?

I'm becoming cynical.

** Korean top beauty Kim Hee Sun's porcelain/snow-like skin.
** Cheesy-looking branding of "EMPEROR" (producer of this movie) in the ending scene as the camera slowly zooms out
BUT... MOST IMPORTANTLY...
** Indian sexy bomb Mallika Sherawat's MELON-SIZED BOOBS!

My Thoughts After Watching...
An interesting combination, I find... to pair Jackie Chan with Kim Hee Sun. It's a case of yellowish-wrinkled-skin versus snowy-fair-almost-flawless-supple-looking-skin. A refreshing story, about a modern-day archaeologist who often dreams about himself as an ancient warrior in Qin dynasty, protecting a princess (whom he later falls in love with) betrothed to Emperor Qin. Transitions between modern and ancient times are smoothly and smartly done. First 2/3 of the movie keeps me wanting more, until towards the end, the part where a horde of people (good guys and baddies) starts flying around in the air. Somewhat cheesy, but acceptable. During one of the fighting scenes, a colleague commented that Jackie's movements seemed less swift now. Perhaps age is really catching up.

My Thoughts After Watching...
Heath Ledger is such a cutie and hotie!!! *AHEM* Ok seriously... I carried high hopes prior to the movie screening, but left the theatre hall feeling somewhat unfulfilled. A big production it sure is - with Hollywood's A-list actors as leads, and a whole lot of computer graphics and special effects to make up the enchanted forest. However, at some points, I kinda got bored and almost fell asleep, especially the French-speaking-in-horrible-French-accented-English chunks. Without any aiding subtitles, I could hardly understand those conversations! But all's not lost. It's still a watchable movie because the story weaves in a number of familiar fairytales that you and I grew up with. My favourite is the Gingerbread Man part, although that scene doesn't make much sense... Haha...

The Answer... and The Maid 女傭

2005-09-05T10:23:00.000+08:00

CORRECT~!!! The answer's "RAINTREE"~!!!

Haha... apologies for the awfully long wait... Has your neck turned long yet~? And your coming back to this page is very much appreciated~!

You must be wondering why on earth did I give such a dumb question with a dumb answer... Well, I've recently left my previous entertainment-related company FLY Entertainment to join yet another media-related company MediaCorp Raintree Pictures. Yes we produce and distribute movies.

To my fans out there (if I have any, that is.. haha~)... not to worry, I am still hosting on Y.E.S 933 on weekends.

Since my first day at Raintree Pictures 2 months ago, I've been busy. My first movie project was Seven Swords 七劍. Followed by The Maid 女傭.

I bet many of you are familiar with The Maid 女傭 from these publicity stunts:

Eerie sounding movie trailers that are seen so very often on Channel U and TV Mobile (apparently, it scared the hell outta kids, I heard)
Mannequin dressed in red Chinese traditional wedding costume (Plaza Singapura Level 7)
Life-sized sticker decals in the toilets (Plaza Singapura Level 7)
Wedding procession (bride in red Chinese traditional wedding costume and red veil + 2 male servants carrying big paper lanterns) along Orchard Road
Free screening of The Maid 女傭 for maids in Singapore, at Shaw Beach Road

To be honest, we've received complaints, especially about the toilet sticker decals. For all I know, you may be one of the people who had been cursing and swearing. But hey, at least we've been successful in one thing, that is to raise awareness of the movie amongst the general public! Any kind of publicity is good publicity.

But more importantly, the movie has become one of the most successful Raintree movies ever. Since its release on 18 August 2005, it's hit a high of S$2mil in Singapore box office and is the most watched movie for three weeks in a row! Not to mention, it's broken horror movie opening week records in Singapore box office, beating The Eye 2, Sixth Sense, Ju-On, Shutter, The Ring, etc.

The latest breaking news is that, international sales house Fortissimo has picked up world sales rights for The Maid 女傭, and will be released in American Film Market this November, afterwhich it will be shown on screens internationally~! Even Brad Pitt has expressed interest in remaking this movie. This is certainly a FIRST for a Singapore film~!

So, have you watched The Maid 女傭 yet~?

男人 vs 女人﹖

2005-05-15T23:01:00.000+08:00

畢業旅行那年﹐我們一夥人去了香港和台灣。就在台北﹐我們正乘坐在小巴裡﹐朋友甲(女)突然冒出這樣一道問題﹕

“如果有來世﹐你們想做男人還是女人﹖”

大夥楞住了五秒。之後﹐就捧腹大笑起來。有些乘客也拋了異樣的眼光過來。

朋友乙(男)回答說﹕“除非我會是個大美女﹐否則我還是選擇做回男人。我承認﹐我們男人是屬於視覺系的﹐特別是在女生這方面。一個丑的女生﹐不管她人再怎麼好﹐男生還是不會心動。但是一個丑的男生﹐還是可以憑他的真誠和毅力﹐取得佳人芳心。”

A Little Something To Think About -- Why is Dasmond Koh ALWAYS wearing a visor everytime I see him?!?!

LKY's Tears

August 09, 1965 -- The day when Singapore gained independence. We broke away from Malaysia and became a Republican island. Kudos to Mr Lee Kuan Yew for his magical foresight.

But, why did Mr K.Y. Lee cry that fateful day? Were they tears of joy... or tears of sadness?

Discoveries made in Batam

April 09, 2005 (Saturday, Sunny) -- Was in Batam today for 7 hours. It almost didn't feel like I was away in another country! The ferry ride was under an hour!

3 things I discovered during my short stay there:

Batam is able to receive ONE and only one Singapore radio station... and believe it or not... it's Dong Li 88.3! Loud and clear! Boy, am I impressed or what?!
The local housing structures reminded me of Lego - colourful! Very cartoony. Cute!
Batam Mall, the supposedly largest shopping mall, is smaller than Mustafa Centre!

What would life of a shopaholic like me be if I were to stay there long-term?
