CHILDAID 2006 – GALA NIGHT
Isn’t it so nice to have this sheet of paper pasted on the walls of every dressing room back stage? mannn…
yes i know, the little things that makes me happy. sheesh.
And the final look. Paul really didnt fancy the purple top, so i was ordered to wear the off-shoulder one.
I was pretty happy actually. not too much skin showing off.
And again, i emphasize that my arms are not toned enough to be flaunting them around in sleeveless tops.
I LOVE MY HAIR LAH! tsk!
I LOVE BIG CURLS!!!
IT REMINDS ME OF YANG FROM GREY’s ANATOMY!!!!
and i was just telling the girls last week i want to have her hair and i had it today!!!!!!!! =DDD
He reminds me of Ken from Mattel. hee.
I love the way his hair was styled. =)
Everyone should have stylists, then it’ll make the world a prettier place to live in.
Yes, i was cam-whoring cause i like my outfit, i love my hair, i love the boots, i love the make up.
i actually am growing so attached to the skirt. =PP
President SR Nathan and Mrs Nathan cldnt come cause they were ill so that was pretty saddening. i mean the performers and myself were really hoping we cld perform for him.
But oh wells, Adm Lui was there. and Dr Tony Tan. good enough. =)
Besides, the show must go on.
Michelle Sugiarto. her voice is amazing. plus i love her dress. =) 
Ahhh…. the pretty Ming Bridgets, the one who won Teenage Icon 2006. =)
And that’s Jennifer at the back, her manager and my unofficial stylist. hehehehe. since i go to her for everything else. =P regarding earrings and shoes and hair and make up. =)
She’s nice. i like her alot.
Abigail Sin. Right after MGS, she jumped straight to NUS doing a bachelor in Music.
See…. now you understand why im so excited they gave me an artiste pass? cause of such ppl, i feel like an under-achiever.
his OWN JAZZ ALBUM, called Let Me Sing! Live, Life and all that jazz topped the jazz charts at HMV stores here in singapore. BEAT THAT.
PLUS? he’s CUTE.
PLUS?? He plays rugby.
AND? he has his own fan base who came down for the performance.
AND? I TALKED TO HIM.
WE EVEN MADE A JOKE TOGETHER.
see… add 10 yrs to his age and i will stand in line with the other girls.
[of course at this point, you wld also like to note, i love my boyfriend and thinks he's the sexiest man alive so nathan comes close. pretty close but no. ha ha ha ha.]
Plus the boy, despite being tired frm his flight in the morning, rushed to get his car, still came down to see his gf on stage [in his uniform still. heh.].
and Sham got his car!!!!!
it finally came!!!!!!
WAAAAHH!!!!!
do you know how happy i am!?!?!?!?
we no longer have to use the weekend car, which means the car can be used 24/7!
Dad and rayyan came but left slightly before the show ended cause rayyan cldnt sit still.
So funny, i was backstage and called my dad before the show to see whether he has arrived but he didnt pick up.
Later in the show, he texted me.
“you called? anything up?”
“oh no.. i just wanted to see whether you already came. so how is the performance so far?”
“you did well. i dont fancy the blouse’s style though.”
“HAHAHAHA. i can direct you to the stylist if you want!”
hehehe. i knew it! it was either going to be the skirt or the top.
hehehe. from the very beginning i already said my dad will say something!
i love my dad lah. =PPP
tickets for tmr’s performance are still on sale at all Sistic Outlets. so pls go get them and come! it’a from 8-10 at night. tickets pricing : 15,20 and 30. All proceeds go to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. =) Cheerios!
MPP rocked. PERIOD. hahahaha. i had colour extension in my hair. i wore nice little pearly necklace around my neck. and our presenters were colour-coded. =))))
we kept it plain and simple. no glitzy cloth, no talk about snake or butterflies. We kept our presentation succinct and to the point.
We gave what the brief wanted from us. [we hope]
We had group unity.
We made no faces to each other when either one is presenting.
We knew our stuff.
We could answer questions directed to us.
We were paying attention to what was going on during the presentation.
Phoebe needed no cue to stand up and pass the hair extension. =PPP
We had no chocies to give the teachers.
We did not insult the director’s taste in creating/agreeing upon the current DMC’s brochure. [which by the way ms low lay leng, i personally love it. =D]
We did not have fake accent when we presented.
We were ourselves.
We were confident.
We did not slang.
We did not make cold jokes that caused so many ppl to roll their eyes over and over again.
We were professional and really wanted to give what the clients wanted.
Even if we don’t top this presentation this time, most importantly, the group had so much fun laughing after the presentation was over bitching about stuff.
and everyone? THAT’S what you call TEAM work. =)
Just so you know, emcees are ALSO artistes ok. so talk to the hand. just SO talk to the hand. =P
[mem: though i have to remind manny and ash that we're suppose to be cool when our names are called via the PA system to go to the left hand side of the stage and not scream and yell and shriek like some unprofessional artistes.]
At first manny tried deluding himself into believing the food’s nice. After countless of “you’re just hungry emmanuel” from me, it finally hit him like a big yellow bus after 5 minutes of stuffing himself with the food.
Full dress rehearsal today. I SCREWED UP.
my lines were all over the god damn place, i dropped my cue cards back stage.
I cldnt see for nuts when im on stage.
I keep stepping on rex’s tail.
I shiver so damn badly cause of my outfit back stage.
I do not know the lyrics to the finale song.
I cant walk in those boots cause im not used to it.
I look pregnant.
I feel fat next to Ming.
I feel fat next to Ash.
Actually, hell, i feel fat next to manny! and he’s a freaking guy who’s on a diet!!
I will not screw up tonight.
I will not screw up tonight.
I will not screw up tonight.
And i love hugging him.
I love kissing him.
I love poking him.
I love rubbing his chin.
I love rubbing his tummy.
see, this is what happens when you don’t meet your bf after a while.
heh.
i hope i can spot him among the audience tonight.
We all got excited cause we have our own changing room with an ‘Emcees’ title on it k.
We have our own shower inside, nice dressing rooms with lightings all around. Orange lighting makes you look nicer, if you haven’t realise. Wearing make-up under orange lightings however, something i wouldn’t advise.
Heh. i know im very lousy with directions ok.
My sense of direction is atrocious.
I cant drive for nuts without getting lost, especially to new places.
But im still very woman-ly what.
Tsk.
And im slow lah.
I know.
sheesh.
So if you talk and i look at you, nodding and smiling excitedly, eventhough you were actually telling me about your dog having cancer, forgive me k.
Or, if you had told me something like 2 days back and it took me like 30973498364 hours to remember about it, forgive me also. heh. according to Janani, it’s STM.
Get your tickets at any SISTIC outlets, performance on the 29th and 30th of November. =))
After rehearsals, we went for dinner just behind NUS. I didnt know that place’s so far away from UCC. tsk.
So the four of us walked and we walked and we walked and because i was leading the way, they all thought we were lost.
So i decided to play safe and called up the sister to make sure we were in the right direction. And we were k. so im proud.
What can i say, a girl’s at least good at something.
Dominic said oral sex’s illegal. i didnt know that. hmmm…
Got back close to midnight. wah. terrible.
one more of week of this and i would like yank hair off my scalp and yell vulgarities so loud that the whole of Bedok and Hougang can hear it.
im tired. tvsm has made progression. can you believe it?
It rained today so i cldnt snap photos of the bloody stadium but i shall do it tmr before rehearsals.
see, im such a horrid gf, cause i cant celebrate his bday since i have work piled up right up to my neck. But because he’s a nice bf, he knows celebrations can take a rain-check.
Amazing, i must salute all of the girls, they did not sleep the entire time and left at 830.
While yours truly, had trouble staying up at 1 plus, and felt utterly useless thanks to chemicals that should not be running through my blood at this point in time.
That aside, very good. progression has been made. i am proud.
Woke up at 1030, got ready and left for rehearsals.
Dangerous. i was woozy and tired and drugs dont work for driving.
You know, when the doctor tells you to avoid driving or alcohol when you’re under medication, you just brush it aside? cause it doesn’t matter to you?
Well, today i learnt through the hard way, i nearly fell asleep while driving to UCC.
It was horrible.
Reached UCC at 1230 but i took a short nap at the carpark and ended up late. Can you believe it? I sauntered into the dance studio at 110? god.
the boy who’s gay at the right spots. hahaha. epitome of a metrosexual. i liiiikkeee..
Janani will probably kill me after i post this picture up. but who cares, it’s my blog. kekekeke.
I loovvveee her boobs. look at them. sexy no? =PPP
If you think that’s hot and sexy, wait till you hear her voice. you’d prolly fall backwards on your chair and go WOW.
The girl who had her very own concert at the esplanade. WOW enough?
Maaaaan, i was blown over by her voice during rehearsals just now.
Janani? i HATE YOU for having sexy boobs and one helluva voice. no hugs or kisses next time i see you. hah. =P
comfy comfy birkies. time to change the colour of my toe nails. too bubblegummy for my liking. bleh.
The most well behaved primary school choir i have ever seen. i am bloody impressed. like what manbo said, they shouldn’t be subjected to such discipline. they should be running around screaming and yelling and getting their socks muddy and uniform yellow with sweat stains and getting teachers really really mad. sigh. those were the days huh.
Ohkkkaaaaay, MELISSA? this is for you. =D
Stupid melissa is only interested in coming for the event cause mr hot dominic here is performing. -.-
Sure, why not. im only emcee-ing anyway. who pays attention to the emcees right?
Plus I can’t sing for nuts. BAH.
But MELIS? im rubbing shoulders with YOUR dominic. =D
We’ll be cam-whoring in our CHANGING room…
MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! =PPP
His shirt says it all melis, HANDS OFF. for you that is. kekekekekeke.
Ps: i love you lah, ill take more photos of him and you can splash them shamelessly on your blog. =PP or your cupboard, or your pink notebook… or your ceiling… whichever rocks your boat.
OH. melis? i showed him a pic of you. =DDD
you know how thick-skinned i can be.
Plus of course being shy is not in my vocabulary.
So i showed him your pics and said your his primary school mate!!!!! =DDDD
then he went, ” tell her ill be excited to see her if she comes.”
KAOZ. don’t you just want to run up to me now and pepper my face with kisses? no?
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
maaaaaannnnn… i rock lah k.
Of course, who can forget about dear ol SHA.
nah… this is for you.
Cannot see? see lah! there!! that’s NATHAN HARTONO what! and Iskandar Ismail at the piano. cannot see? cooomeee on…
hahahah!
NAH! CLOSE -UP of NATHAN HARTONO for SHA.
sorry lah, cannot ask him to pose. very shy boy.
i was sitting next to him [;)] for a full 10 minutes and he didnt say anything.
Next time k. tmr tmr, i promise, nice one. =P
See, the things i do for my friends. =P
more photos. btw, nathan has a very nice voice.
melt-ish kind you know? he speaks, and you just tremble inside.
God that sounded cheesy. but you know what i mean lah.
Own jazz album at 15, which topped the HMV charts in Singapore mind you.
Sigh…. talk about acheivements.
rehearsals got dragged. ended at 330, had to rush off to Murni’s wedding!!
i didnt have time to change my outfit. so i just changed in the car.
Pathetic i know but the carpark IS pretty deserted. so yah… i made sure the coast was clear.
make up in a cab yesterday, outfit today. man….
HAHAHAHAHAHAAH! For once in my entire life, i am speechless.
I shall not attempt to say anything. i WILL shut up. =PP
Alalalalala… manisnya gadis yang memakai baju kurung biru tuuuu…kekekekeke.
I just realised everyone works at starbucks except for me. heh. ok, and Dan lah.
Crazy couple. hee. Got such things ah? bride pose like that? =P on pelamin some more.
Only them lah. capable of such stuff. =P
Hee, congratulations once again to Dan and Murni. I wish them all the best and hope they’ll have a bright future ahead together. =))
Hogging everything. wth.
And if you’re having a bad day don’t come and dump it on me cause believe me, im not having a great week. So, spare me with your short bursts of irritatable mood. i swear i don’t need it and i will snap. Busy schedule means sacrificing time and prioritising things and getting work done. Period. because we’re all getting the same bloody grade.
And if you cannot be there all the time like me for example, make it up through other ways. For a start, pissing off a group member is NOT the way to go.
Good, now everything’s out of my system, i can go back to work that needs to be done by tmr.
I was doing mpp last night, or this morning so to say, and conveniently fell asleep on the computer table.
Was suppose to be at the Supreme Court at 8.30, i only woke up at 8.30.
God, i have never panicked so much in my whole entire life before.
Emcees were to be on stage by 945!!!
hell, i ended up applying my make up on the cab to the court.
Believe me, applying mascara on a moving vehicle is not something a girl should go through.
The taxi driver must think im nuts cause i kept blurting out random curses.
But, i reached there in one piece, complete with mascara on my eyes.
Gosh, i had 2 bags with me, one filled up with extra clothes and my birks, cause we all know what happens when im on heels for too long. manbo and fran thought i went camping. hahaha.
the minster’s name is not an easy feat to pronounce. believe me. Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon. gosh.
Tell me about having a name that’s a mouthful.
they actualy allowed me to bring my cammie in, though the officer reminded me strictly, “…not to take pictures of the surroundings.”
im not exactly sure what that meant, meaning i cant take pictures of the walls? the clean tiles? what? then how about if i wanna take a picture with manbo? can we lean on the wall as a backdrop? funny.
Well, one event down, one more to go for 2 nights.
Plus, all the countless projects. I just want to sit down and watch the world go by.
God dammit man.
Waiting for Sha, Dawn, phoebe and melis to come over to get stuff done.
I have a rehearsal tmr and a wedding to attend plus project meeting. i swear i should go get a personal assistance to manage my schedule and time cause im apparently atrocious at it.
instead, im running around the whole of singapore, meetin up with lecturers to make sure all my school work is in line. dammit.
i did so bad for my tvsm’s CA1, i can just cry.
to top it off, there’s another ca this thursday. how wonderful, no?
MPP, AM, TVSM, CITIBANK-YMCA, CHILD AID, cough syrup, flu tablets, anti-biotics, all in less than 2 weeks. crap.
So went for rehearsals after getting all the necessary stuff from school, handed in my MC, went straight to the supreme court for the rehearsal which dragged later than as planned.
After which, was invited to DXO, for the Canon DV awards nite, which helped that it’s just opposite the Supreme Court, wonder whether that’s where all the lawyers go and unwind. hah.
After being in a building that is so prim and proper, getting your buckle belt all scanned, poked and probed.
Wilson needed someone to comfort him lest they didnt win. hahaha. funny.
the whole gang was there. how nice no? seeing your film being aired on the big fat screen, eventhough it’s just the trailer lah, who cares. i think it’s awesome anyways.
Spot Hon the director. heh.
See, that guy is cute. carrie chong makes cold jokes that do not make sense, she stumbles on her lines and it’s interesting for me cause i was trying to learn how she manages to get back on track after making a mistake or 2, since ill be doing what she’s doing tomorrow and on wednesday and on thursday. bah.
i shall go back to MPP now. what a spoiler.
Another looooooong day tmr. ive never been so packed in my whole entire life before.
God, i just hope i can pull through this week unscathed. god bless me.
i had clothes fitting at Tangs.
Complete with 2 stylists. How savvy no?
First of all was the white capri pants and black off shoulder but Paul thought it was too boring.
Then came the purple glittery top with white capri pants but the stylist hated the pants.
I swear i look pregnant but the stylists say i look good.
My dad will kill me. the skirt stops mid thighs, plus im wearing knee length beige boots if this outfit gets a green light from the higher management.
hahaha. i cannot wait to see the expression on my dad’s face when he sees me like that on stage. =PP
Had emcee prac after that with Paul.
Met mazzy after that. heh. We went to a place hidden from all the cars, people, kids, everybody. nice, quiet and away. i like.
plus we had big comfy sofas so lazy ppl lkike me can lie on top.
feeling feverish lah and pukish k. im entitled to lie down on their sofas.
See that thing? i bought it at this french-inspired shop.
Was on the way to the washroom with maz when this lady handed out perfume samples and i stood there enthralled so much by the smell.
God… it’s amazing.
i LOVE the smell.
The bottle is even equipped with the french spray thingy, with the little bubble air pump. heh.
i love the earrings in the shop too but the prices were too exorbitant.
the shop so pretty, pink and white inspired, jazz playing in the background, nice little comfortable chairs,nice white satin drapes, they even serve tea if you want!
They have nice balm perfume for ppl sensitive to perfume sprays.
And they hand out scent testers on cloth too to show you that the perfume wont stain your clothes. how savvy no? =))
i am Sick. ive been doing mpp since 1. i cant branstorm for ideas anymore.
According to my darling boyfriend, it’s cause i kepala batu. i dont want to rest, i push my body too much, my diet sucks and i dont want to eat his medication. For a moment, i thought kepala batu means stupid till i went online to check. hmmm…
I have to go to the doctor’s tmr cause i need anti-biotics.
The cough’s excruciating and my body temperature’s rising.
I need to get well for next week.
i thought im handling this 2 weeks well, turns out, so many hiccups have already occured and the first week is not even over.
i need to brave this ordeal and come out alive.
i shall go back to MPP.
There’s nothing more comforthing then crying next to your other half while he hushes silently into your ear and holds you tight like there’s no tmr.
I think i got worried. I was scared. I was petrified.
But i think this is part and parcel of the game eventhough i detest it alot.
I may not be very good at the game but i am willing to try.
I am ready to brush myself up when i fall and try once again.
So pls be there with your outstretched hands should i fall again and walk beside me.
Tell me my mistakes and let me learn from it.
cause honey? i think i love you.
like they say, ‘ It’s the heart that fears of breaking that will never learn how to dance again.’
The birthday girl with blood red painted nails.
heh. i feel for her, it’s sad that her birthday is right smacked in the middle of countless of projects. mannnn….
I know im not very tall k. but the girls were wearing high heels. hah. well, shen wasn’t lah. but shen’s a freak. =PP
And then we decided to surprise sha during law tutorial. so dawn and i were hiding at the lift landing, preparing the cake and getting the all clear signal from shen. so funny… sad that malis couldnt be there.
Sha CRIED lah. =PPP
We saw ms kwa and dragged her into the classroom as well. hee. =)
How memorable can her birthday be. for once, we actually took a class picture. after two years, we took ONE class picture.
Im so proud of shen, myself and dawn for even coming up with this idea of surprising her. man…
Ms Phyllis peters made us performed with shawn. hilarious.
note this entry is in short bursts of sentences cause i cldnt blog earlier due to some unforseen circumstances.
and it’s 435 now, i cant get to bed. my head is spinning and my body is aching, i feel a temperature rising. i blame it on wakeboarding.
Ziar and dawn gave her birthday cash. =)
And i went boarding after. waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh….. like finally…. though it rained and we had to wait one hour later but still, i boarded!!
Elaine’s attempt at capturing me jump. =P
I like Elaine’s Longchamp’s bag. very nice. plus of course she had to tempt me by telling me it’s cheaper at the airport and she can get it for me there. =)
108 for a Longchamp’s bag you know. can you believe it??? that’s like reasonable lah!
So im going to taka to go pick a colour. then inform elaine. it’s very pretty lah.
Andy was kind enough to give me a ride in his mini cooper.
Do you know that the car seat in his coop is amazing? i can alter the backseat such that it will ‘pop’ out giving me the extra ‘push’ and support? he kept turning and turning a dial right next to my seat and i had no idea why but suddenly my back felt like it’s being supported so damn nice. hahahaha.
Thats when i started playing with it.
Yes, eventhough it’s close to 5, i’m tired, my body’s aching, im hungry, i feel feverish, i am actually at ease.
So im glad.
Sometimes admitting your mistakes and going all out to apologise helps. im sorry love and thank you.
Came to school and had PRMP where some individuals had to conveniently come in late and spoil Rajan’s mood.
School has started, note my sombre style of writing today.
Law’s lecture was cancelled, had guest lecture after but i had to leave early for the Citibank rehearsals at the high and mighty supreme court.
Man, that place is a notch close to being and asylum. believe me. i was there.
There is only ONE way you can enter and exit. No other exits are allowed and there are police officers all round.
There’s a metal tracking thing where you have to go through and they scan your bag.
“mam… you have 3 devices in your bag, what are those?”
“err… i have devices in my bag? what devices?”
“i dont know.. could be anything. what are they?”
“i have no idea i have devices in my bag. *starts taking out my phone, keys, mp3, cammie*.”
“ahhh.. no camera, we have to take it from you.”
emmanuel got it worst, they actually had the audacity to ask him whether he’s calculator is REALLY a calculator.
ONE good reason why i wouldnt want to be a lawyer when i grow up.
I was cranky and snappy.
Sometimes you just need someone to say the nice right things to you.
It may not be something you say all the time, it may not be your style but just sometimes, the other person needs to hear it.
dropped by starbucks to have coffee.
i don’t feel like blogging lah. stupid day.
and i want to dive in Sipadan.
So funny how she was suppose to come yesterday for the get-together but she wasn’t exactly feeling well and then BOOM, next day she’s gone.
It was a complete turn around at the funeral in the morning, cause the night before you see the very same people enjoying themselves at the party and then all of them are crying. I’ts tragic.
I do not like funerals and wilson shot it back with, ‘who does?’.
well, after which i had to rush back home, get ready and leave to town for an Emcee prac with ash and emmanuel.
It was hilarious. heh. well, at least i find it rather amusing, three students sitting outside starbucks at Liat, reading off from scripts. get the picture? =P
Speaking of which, i have to memorize my script by thursday before Paul badgers us.
I have another emcee rehearsal on monday for Citibank, i have a clothes try out on thursday and another emcee rehearsal on Friday for Citibank before the real thing on saturday
I tell you, 2 events with 5 days separating each other is NOT good. believe me.
Left to the boyfriend’s place to say hello. Man, cab ride got me so woozy, i reached his place and stinked up his toilet. bluuuueeeerrrrrrkkkkkk…..
He was supposed to join us for the karaoke session at SRC but i guess he’s still not feeling well, so i popped him into bed and left for town again. BAH.
Too many cab rides in one day. i must stop.
Everyone was late, i grabbed a cup of smoothie and butterfly prawns from Raffles City cause i was starving.
I thought i’d have dinner with sham so i didn’t go with the family to Lau Pa Sat. whammy.
I sang alot. i dare i say hogged the mic. Well that’s because sometimes people are SHY.
You offer them the mic, they give you that face, you know? that oh-i-want-to-sing-but-i-am-shy-so-can-you-come-and-pester-me-to-take-the-mic-cause
-then-i-might-just-take-it face.
Get it? SOOoooo…..
the best song of the night? hahahaha, HAD to be Lady Marmalade.
The room’s HUGE. We sang like from 9.30 to 12.30. god, everyone was drunk from being tired. =P
heh…
I had like one and half cup of Shirley Temple, one and half cup of OJ.
and 10 butterfly prawns which bozai helped to sneak into the room.
Well, that’s it. saturday gone so fast.
Tmr? i need to finish up every single episode of Grey’s Anatomy before school starts proper then all the projects starts falling on my head like hard painful raindrops.
i need a grande CM bloody badly, i want to eat instant chicken rice, i want to eat original bagel and i want to cook thai fish patties!
But… grey’s anatomy comes first.
it’s 5.30 now, dammit. i should head to bed before i wake up a grumpy lady.
hmmm… i should go laze by the pool downstairs and read a book tmr morning.
Im too fair, i need the sun. bloody bloody bah bah.
