Upgrading ...

Well well well... it has been some time since i lost my previous template. So i guess it is about time i start to re-do up my blog... Okay, i hereby declare... Upgrading in progress...



Wooo... X-MeN screening today... I wanna watch... heard that it is the best among the three...

La la la la ...

“And the 1st runner up is … Hougang!! Congratulation to Bukit Batok to clinch the title, Mister Singapore 2006!! ”

With that, the pageant, Mister Singapore 2006, ended.

Well, hmm… it has been great. Being able to see how the showbiz function. I know this is like just a bit of what the real showbiz is like… but I guess it is good enough. Finally, it is over and life should get back to normal. Well, I am still an engineering student. Life has indeed been spiced up because of this event. And, there were some freebies as well, like the CleverWhite tooth whitening kit, the NUM attires (which seems to be wore before by somebody else… hmmmm…), one set of crocodile outfit (which resembles the SBStransit bus driver outfit… wooo…)

About the flow of the show, feedbacks from my friends were not very good. And I agreed with them as well. There were many “funny incidents” happening here and there, like when Alan was talking, the music suddenly “appeared” of nowhere. And, the wrong music was played for Raphael to come on to stage. The mike always seems to have some problem. And to be frank, Celine wasn’t really a good host, Alan pulled her closer to him as her position was off the camera. Denis was like saying, “ I don’t see how this pageant is a big event…” Guess, the stage engineers got to buck up or something.

Then at the back stage, a few particular contestants who was not in the top 10 like me were making some noise. I am quite okay for not being in the top 10. It actually relieves me and I felt happier as the competition has ended early for me. I enjoyed the rest of the show, of course minus-ing the technical screw up. Alright, Mr EC was like saying, “ I can’t believe this… I am a Manhunt 4th runner up and yet I didn’t get into the top 10 for this… what the hell… “and I clearly remembered the other time, during the “Ideal one contest” where I first met him, when he didn’t get a single stalk of rose, he was saying “ this contest is screwed up lah… “well… I must admit he got a never-say-die spirit, but I think he doesn’t have the sportsmanship leh. Then, another contestant, WC was like saying “#$%#@#... let’s change and leave… “

Hmmm... well... that is EC and WC ladies and gentlemen...
*CLue : Visit www.mistersingapore.org to find out who they are.

It was nice of Celine to invite us over to her house to chill out. Well, Dennis was there, so was me, Kenneth, Terence, Terry, Iain, Adophlus, Adrian, Gina and Adrian. And, that's all. Where's the rest ?? Who knows... but we had fun lah... especially when we talked about "somebody"... haha... had pizza, oops... i haven't pay leh... then mahjong !! I wanted to leave at 11pm with the fireboys... but... i was "conned" to stay to continue playing... i always view those who played with me for the first time as future khakis... so hopefully... we will get to play again lah... and... i want to win back my $12 !!

Last but not least... I am so sorry Nike... I didn't meant to send you the wrong Adventure21 logo... guess it will be hard to explain to Gordon. Really really sorry...

Happy =)

Life is good... especially when u got enough sleep... haha... finally, after the presentation show on Wednesday, i managed to grab a whole day of sleep. After which, went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to see Ian (Punggol) who was involved in a serious accident. He looks pretty alright now, still unconscious but his condition is improving. Met his mom, she looks okay, probably relieved at the fact that Ian's is getting better. Haiz... must be really sad for her... heard that Ian was badly hit at his abdomen area... his liver and stomach and intestine was partially cut and remove, he broke his right arm. Although i don't know him very well, but i must say i really feel sad for him. It just makes me value life even more, one will never know what will happen the next minute...

Then, the presentation show was okay. Crocodile, evening wear and swim wear. I had felt a bit off coz i realised i didn't have a lot of people cheering for me. But in fact, that is not a bad thing, if there were like 20 people waiting to see me, in a way or another, i will get very stressed out. SO, in the end, i might not do well. Haiz.. was thinking of asking those who bought the tics for this saturday not to come. Coz, if i am not in the top 10, they won't see much of me. So...

By typing "mister singapore" in blogger search, i found many blogs with people writing crude remarks abt mr spore's contestants... some are funny but most are rather "fierce" remark.

Hmmm... these links are only posted here for fun, i am not against anybody... so... relax ok ? =)

anyway... addicted to this song by tank : 我们小时候 nice...

a bit happier

Well well well... today went to the APB with etpSIX ppl. It sure was a great experience, especially the drinking part... but then i guess that was the only fun part. Other than that, we were shoved around the factory looking at huge containers and the bottles and cans which we can't touch nor drink. So when we finally finished the walk, all of us were very excited... coz free flow of beer is the reason of us being there. haha... drank tiger which was good, very fresh. drank coke which tasted better than the one sold in the Fairprice. drank a bit of anchor, baron, heineken here and there... i still prefer tiger... it was really free flow at $2 !! If the bus didn't come at 3.30pm, i guess we would have played "zhong ji mi ma" till donno when...

Anyway, after which we went back to school to finish our presentation rehearsal. which turns out to be another round of ...
i would blog that out another time... now tired... very tired... slightly happier than yesterday. for those who suddenly want to buy my tickets... thanks... donno what got into you guys... donno what to say but thanks!!

Once again :

17th @ DXO $16 Presentation Show
20th @ Pavillion $25 The Main Event

if you wanna come, you come loh...

still not very happy...

kind of hard to sell mr spore tickets, haiz... why ? i don't really know. those who say they will consider in the end say they got something on. bloody worse, those who promised to go... fly me airplane... that is so sad sad sad... so, are they still my friends ?? whatever the reasons they have, i do hope that more people can come and give me some support...

Not that i don't have the confidence, just that, i know and i can see that the eventual winner will not be me. Competition is tough, and i must say, the exposure and the experience so far are great. Priceless. And, there are some fun people that i have knew thru this competition. Like the boss Alan, make up artist "Han Xiang Gong", ex-ChannelU producer Men, and of course the Fire dudes - Terence, Iain and Adolpus. Very soon, this pageant will end and everybody will go back to their own life again. this is what we call, 天下无不散宴席

plus the ODAC stuffs are pulling me down, i am feeling kind of lost... the momentum is gone. but for one thing, i am not going to quit instead i got to pull myself up again. Pumpfest and ATC coming soon but i am not feeling as excited about it as 2 months again... why why why ?

something light and funny...


i still got Mr Spore tickets, if you have not got one. Ask me for it and i will really appreciate it !! Cheers !!

not really happy

gosh... it has been sometime since i last blogged...

hmmm... has been rushing thru the EN102 business plan for the past few days.
Monday, slept at 3am-8am
Tuesday, no sleep at all
Wednesday, 10am-12pm
Thursday, 7am-10am

Is kind of a madness as i don't even do this during the exam period. but then, as we strived to produce the best business plan, this is nothing bah. But then, i must admit, when it comes to the financial side, i can't help much. the balance sheet, cash flow budget, P&L, bad debts and stuffs... bulks of numbers... woooo... not easy man... too bad i am not trained in this area, otherwise i would have helped Stella and Jacq. On our side, Albert, me, Yumin and Neo are working hard too... but then... i was wondering, whether the sleepless nights was worth it. as i heard from the other group that they managed to grab enough sleeps thru out the few days... hmmm... so, i guess something must be wrong somewhere...

Well, the business plan has been submitted in, so what's next that is coming up is the presentation. which i think will be different from my previous presentation, the effective comm and tech comm ones... hopefully we can achieve better results as i think we can do it.

then friday, i went JB with terence and seth and sam. wooo... lotsa of people... as it is Vesak day. many many many people... it was still okay at the Spore custom, but when we reached the JB side, it was madness... all the booths are filled with people... so we joined the quenes and an uncle approached us...

"where do you wanna go ?? Holiday plaza ?? i can drive you there, can clear custom very fast. Less than 10minutes... RM10 each... "

I was like, hello, are you trying to 趁火打劫 ?? it was really tempting to agree to his deal... wooo... but then, since we are not rushing for time, it doesn't really matter... so we deny the offer and he made some lousy comments... well, i was then thinking... we must admit this, without Sporean who cross over to Jb to shop, to eat, to watch a movie... would Jb have what it has bwcome today ? My answer is a big No-No...

then, once we cleared the custom, we headed for holiday plaza, the one place with the most number of pirated dvds shop... have to buy a set a suit for the presentation show on wednesday. walk here and walk there, then here and there again... finally, settled at a shop after 3hrs plus... very tiring... that's why i don't like to shop.

the tickets for the presentation show and the main event is really bothering me. the number is just not moving... stress leh...

the past few days of insufficient sleeps plus the walking-around-jb really tires me out.... and i still here... trying to blog something interesting... but i guessed i failed... Yawnz....... but... who cares...

Job Lobang for all my dear frens !!

Alright, other than offering to OMC ppl, to those (who are my friends) who wanna a job, please look here !!

Phone Surveyors

How ?
Start work at 5pm till 10pm @ the GoldenShoe Carpark office (CBD area) where there are phones and computers.
