Just got my mp4 clip on the One Last Dance report on MTV Pop Inc.
can’t seem to figure out how to post it on this blog so if u’re interested, check out my profile’s media box lah.. promise me u wun laugh!!!!! I prefer the 1st ATV coverage, hopefully i’ll get that soon lah…..
Okok… gimme your comments! Promise you wun laugh, if u do, do it softly! =p
Wah, my legs are killing me and i feel very zombie-fied!!!! Why u may ask me? All Elaine’s fault lah! By the way, Elaine as in not-the-meng-li-my-breast-fren-Elaine, but my dad’s cousin’s daughter Elaine from Sandakan/ London/ New Zealand; that i’ve never met before this past Sunday.
My parents brought her dad and her in from JB to Singapore coz she had to do some visa thingy and that’s when i met her. Actually, din speak to her that much during lunch, but i somehow had this liking to her (hehehe) so i offered her my number in case she needed a guide and stuff. WAH. Who knows man, we spent all 3 nights of her stay together! LOL
First night: Night Safari- went with Roger, Ashley aka Sim, Chin2 and Ron. So there were 6 of us. So cool! It was a rush tho, coz Roger lah, eat so slow! By the time we got to the night safari, it was around 9.30pm liao! URGH. Anyway, had fun lah. The company’s always good. So happy that we managed to visit the night safari coz Elaine really wanted to see it.
Second night: Elaine’s dad treated us to such a sumptuous dinner!!!! I’ve never ever tasted sharks fin soup that good! The shark’s fin was like one whole chunk of meat! Oh my!!! Then there was the Peking Duck, Roast Chickin, Scallop with broccoli, some funny looking prawn thingy that’s called “Lai liu ha” (literal translation means lao jio prawn/ accidentally peeing prawn), ermm.. wat else ah… oh yea, dessert, mm mm mm!!!!!! I had the pear with ginseng and honey. Mm mm mm!!!!! After that, we went for a walk, played pools and then to another kind of Night Safari. hahahaha.. Shall stop here. Too much info. Let’s just say, it’s off the beaten track and tourists will not find it in their guide books. LOL
Third night: Lady’s night out! Woohoo!!!! Met Elaine and her fren Melissa; and Audrey, Haniz & Wanru, and went to O Bar and MOS. i felt so safe coz got a future doctor (Elaine) and a nurse in training (Melissa)! hahahha… We each had 3 shots of tequila, then a couple more drinks before deciding we were high enough to hit MOS. Woohoo!!! It was quite an interesting night, but i think my bones are getting too brittle! I kep getting cramps on my hips. ARGH! halfway dance, cramp, halfway dance, cramp!
Today, both my feet hurts like hell! Shucks…
Oh well. it was REALLY fun!!! Can’t wait for her to come again next year, and to bring her to other places to chill. Cool gal!
Tomorrow’s my last day of work. CAN’T WAIT!!! From today, i’m gonna properly clear up the house to look forward to my new job and my new year. mwahahahaha
Yeay!
What a crude topic hor! Apologies for that. But that’s wat happened yesterday at the TF4 party at MOS.
Let’s start at the non-topic related story first,… got to MOS at 10.30pm. Queue DAMN long! Up to taxi stand. Luckily can cut into an acquaintance’s queue, so got in within an hour. First time queuing for a club. So sickening! but not bad lah, at least got good company to laugh all the way to the doorstep.
It was SUPERBLY crowded. I have to think twice for the next TF event. Sighz. I dun think i wanna go unless it’s a short queue or the VIP entrance queue or something. but it was pretty fun, and funny too, coz some fat guy wanted to dance next to me ermm.. with… but i quickly called upon my fren’s help to be the shield. I think we were pretty cruel coz we laughed soooo loudly and nearly in his face. Poor thing.. after that he quickly walked off. hahahaha
ok. interesting story segment (the part u shd be waiting for)::: TF4 ended at around 5am (yes, 5am! I had only 1 hour of sleep between MOS & work- super super sleepy now). As i was walking to the road to get the cab, i saw the BITCH fight, that is if they can be considered gals lah. It was actually 2 transvestites vs 2 transvestites. let’s call them group A and group B. So one of the ‘ladies’ in group A was actually sitting on the low fence surrounding the tree, and Group B pushed ‘her’ and she fell over. As soon as she fell, Group A started stomping her with their heels. OUCH!!! Her other fren tried to help her but got pushed away, and since this fren was wearing a tube dress, one of her breast got revealed (i also dunno how but it did!) I think the gal was in a shock coz when an ang moh guy tried to intervene, she just stared. Group B continued kicking her and stuff and shouting in thai. The other fren (after pulling up her skirt) tried to help again, but got her dress somehow pulled down and this time revealing both her breasts!!!!!! Yes, to answer wat u’re thinking now, i WAS staring. That’s coz i wanted to see how real is the real!!!!! Couldn’t really get a good look leh. DAMN! Din wanna go too close in case the bitch fight got out of hand. So with that, i got sian, and hopped into the cab to my loevly bed awaiting me!!!!
There. interesting story right?
Ok now it’s time for me to try and stone and pretend to be superbly busy. hehehe
till my next update, the moral of the story: dun wear tube anything out!
Yes, realised that each time I update my blog, friendster sends you a msg. If you are irritated and came over just to find out why I always post, I’m so so sorry. You may post a comment on this post or email me (ming@hotpotmail.com) to complain lah… I promise u I will reply and apologize one. Really! This hit me when Sim told me about her friend that got scolding from other frens coz he updated his blog everyday for one period of time. Then Ron also scold me, say he received loads of emails about me updating my blog. Again, thousand of apologies if my blog amtter irks your email. hehehehe
Anyway, very happy yesterday. Discovered a whole new wave of DVD players- DVD players with the USB & Card reader option!!!! Argh! So fun!!! There was a Hyundai brand that allowed us to slot in our memory card and thumb drive so it can read Mpeg & AVI formats! Then there Akira (yes, it’s all the lower end brands one) that allows us to slot in our USB thumb drive and reads all Mpeg-4 and some AVI files. Imagine the possiblity of all the possible movies we could watch (downloaded movies i mean! LOL) YEAY! Sorry if i’m suaku and didn’t find out about this possibility earlier on, but we’re SOOO excited! And the price (we bought the akira one) is only at $70!!!!
Cool!!!!!!
Ok. I promise i wun update my blog so much that it’ll jam your mailbox. I try lah.
Life according to Ron:
Incredible Hulk meets Rubber Man
Just found out my stupid boyfren gave me the wrong name that i used on my msn for these past two days. idiot.
By the way, Rubber Man is actually Mr Stretch.
Those who know will know what I’m talking about. =p
Ok. This is for Sim aka Ashley. She wants me to update my blog about the boy meets girl thing just to make sure that the story is right… so, just for you, sim…

Boy comes home
Gal goes out
Boy says goodbye
Gal says goodbye
Boy goes his own way
Gal goes her own way
Aaahhhh.. such is life…
Wah, i din realise that a few other ppl also reads my blogs. Makes me feel so loved! How i realised that? They either sms’d or called me with regards to my interview with the HK actors! Hehehe.. not bad that got ppl still read my nonsense. hahaha… Truth is, i do read back my blogs too, when i’m bored or something. Gives me a sense of ’satisfaction’ about how my life is now and about how i still have time to write… Perhaps when i start on my new job, i’ll have even more time to write. Perhaps lah…
Ok.. where do i start… ermm… aaahh… the most interesting topic shd be kept last. so… ermm…. new year resolution first. Only have 3 this year. Might as well post it here then I’ll remember it…:
1) Develop www.keepitlikeasecret.org more! Get in touch with the market, push our stuff out more, develop more products, etc etc. May be holding one or two exhibitions cum parties, so look out for that and come show your support k?
2) Attend the classes that I’ve always wanted to attend: my Mandarin class (coz of work lah), my Aikido (then can be healthier) and hopefully closer to the end of the year, to take up my Italian again
3) Go back to my previous diet that worked for me. 2006 is a year where I really let go! Sighz… Dunno why also.. I’ve been eating more fatty stuff, eating after my food curfew and even drinking more sweet stuff! YUCKS! Gotta stop that.
The rest of my aims and goals will be bonuses if i reached that. heh.
Hmm… did loads of shopping during the xmas week. Must be the xmas cum bonus bug lah. Altho my bonus only one mth, i felt that i deserved to shop like a queen and went out to buy loads of clothes, including a dinner dress. Just in time too, coz one of our frens has asked us emcee for his wedding that’s happening end this mth! Cool. This future MTV VJ got use liao. If cannot make it as MTV VJ, then can try and take on small emcee roles! hahaha…
Ok lah. dun bore the blog. Yesterday was a great experience. Actually, it started with Thursday evening. I took half day, went to Vivo City to shop around before the madness started. Bought a jacket from Mango and a top from Topshop (then again, u dun wanna hear about this!)… Sat down at Starbucks at around 4pm and started to panic since I haven’t rehearsed my questions and haven’t translated them to Mandarin. Yes, u heard me right, MANDARIN! URGH. First time we filmed, it was in english, and i was already nervous. Now in Mandarin. WORST! Anyway, my aunt got my lil (well, not so lil anymore since she’s 13 liao) cousin’s mandarin teacher to help me translate the questions. And then i left out one question, so i asked Mei Sun to help me lah. Panic Panic. at 5pm, sat outside GV Grand and rehearsed my lines in mandarin. 6pm, panic even more since i was only ordering my dinner at Carls Junior (my first experience there and i realised it’s quite yummy!) and i was supposed to meet my producer at 6.30pm! 6.20pm- changed and quickly put on my make up. 6.40pm- LATE! but luckily i was just in the ladies next to GV Grand. Anyway, my producer got lost. hahahaha…
ok. So met with the producer, ran thru the questions, then scooted back to GV Grand to wait for the red carpet entrance. Wah, crazy fans were there coz there were a few mediacorp and fly entertainment artistes coming to the premiere of the show! ok… so camera started rolling and i asked a few of these artistes about the expectations that evening, etc etc (luckily these i got to do in english, so not so gabra. And a few of the artistes i worked before for my events so they know me too, so not so scary!). Then comes Di Lung & Francis Ng. SCREAM! Quickly mentally rehearsed my 2 questions in mandarin. Di Lung was a lil more serious and spoke quite a bit but I couldn’t really hear him coz the stupid Emcee was announcing stuff. Then we finally got Francis, he was sooo funny in his answers, but none that we can use coz he asked the viewers NOT to watch too much MTV, but more movies! hahaha..
Ok. Next, we watched the gala of One Last Dance. It was…. ermm…. ok. One thing i dun really understand.. they called this the Singapore Movie, but the director’s brasilian and the main characters are from HK. ONLY the editing (which we felt was done quite poorly) is from Singapore. Sighz. Yet another comment I shall keep to myself, but u know lah.. Sighz… Anyway, erm… my recommendation for this movie TRY to watch it if u’ve got nothing else better to watch. Sorry to say this lah, but it’s true! Even the two HK actors that i interviewed had nothing much to say about the movie. It was their first time watching the full thing that night too, and i bet they got a shock of their lives! At least some parts were a lil funny and i love the polaroid scene (yes, if u watch the movie, u’ll see this innovative way of filming!) and after the credits role, u get to see another funny part (yes, that’s another good point of the movie!) but both these scenes are somewhat useless bits and pieces coz they dun contribute to the plot! hahaha… As usual, i think that the HK actors were naturally natural, whilst the singaporean actors were a lil too extreme in their expressions. calm down guys!!!!! aiyah, but the movie has a good idea. Just use a lil more imagination and think it thru after the movie lah. MAYBE u’ll see wat they were trying to do with the movie. heh
Ok. Next morning. Rushed to the Legends where I had a one-on-one interview with both the actors. COOL! But this part even more nerve wrecking coz i had to do the entire 2 interviews in mandarin! URGH. tried to keep my calm and rehearse my lines. Di Lung was up first. He is actually VERY frenly!!!! When i got introduced, he told me his wife’s name was Ming Ming as well. ehhehe.. and then during the interview, he sommore tried to joke a lil. Very nice gentlemen! Towards the end, he kept talking about all the food he ate in singapore and when we were done with the filming, he asked us wat else he shd try! hahaha. So cute!
Then Francis’ turn. He’s a crazy but funny guy! When he heard we were from MTV, he kept saying, Oh, Channel V Channel V. Then when we sat down, he looked at me and said (in mandarin) "oh, we meet again, are u the only person in Channel V?!" hahaha… I said, No, MTV!!! He said, Oh ya, shan’t get u into trouble… When the interview started tho, he was somewhat more serious and mumbling a lil more, i think he can’t really speak mandarin too well, eventho he has a singaporean wife. hehehe
All in all, i think i did ok. esp coz i had to deal in mandarin. Stumbled a lil but i think the HK actors were superbly understanding since their mandarin were not fantastic either (actually, di lung was better with the langauge). It was a great experience and I was so glad i took the job eventho it was in mandarin. hehehe
Am really looking forward to the clip coming out on 11th January on MTV Pop In at noon and 7.30pm. hehehe. wil also look for more such gigs, hopefully in future will get some monetary in return. hehehe
thanks for reading my nonsense! Victor, thanks for calling me yesterday. Sorry i din talk long. Was too stoned lying in bed and watching my "Cold Case". Lynnette, thanks for msging me about this. We’ll meet up soon to talk about your wedding. Hayden, thanks for PM-ing me. Sweet! ermm.. who else ah… i remembered a few others sms-ing me. SO sorry. Now just woke up (yea, excuses). but thanks anyway for sms-ing me. I promise I’ll remember u the next time. hehehe
Ok. So this is the ‘major’ news. I just tendered my resignatoin at 4.48pm today to Stan. Sighz… Why am I sighing when I was so adamant about quitting? i dunno… Maybe it’s coz of the 1.5 years of fun (yes yes, loads of stress and stress and more stress but i had my share of fun) and sighz… lately the boss has been pretty sweet.. actually, generally, they’re sweet ppl la.. Also sighing coz of all the ppl i’ve met in the course of these 1.5 years lar, and the experience and stuff.
But am really looking forward to wat’s coming next. Time to rock and roll in terms of www.keepitlikeasecret.org!!! Yeay! More stuff coming up this year. Big plans!!! Can’t wait to put them into action. Will update here as it comes along…
Hmm.. wat else… tomorrow night we (ron and me) get to see the gala preview of "One Last Dance" and I get to interview Francis Ng & Di Lung on Friday. interesting!
And on friday, MOS MOS MOS! heh. Can’t wait!!!!!
zip forward… 26 is my last day in Muse, 28 we’re emceeing for a fren’s wedding, and 29th is the first day of my new job in SMU. Yeap yeap. Many things to look forward too!!! Wish me luck! =p
