Interviewing Li Sheng Jie for My Paper
Super Star Round 2
Sorry friends, I know many of you are wating for the pics and updates, so here I go:
Pictures here are from Xinyao and Fannie.
Click on the pics for a bigger view ya.
In case you all forgot, Superstars Gathering was held on 12 Aug 2006, (sat) at Icon@ Bugis, lev 7 rooftop.
Despite the management puting up signs such as these:
people still took the lift to 7th floor. I felt intruded, cos the signs already stated it was a private function , and for invited guests only. There were more than 3 such signs put up in prominent places -- lift lobby, inside the lift and just at the entrance. Yet people still heck care and stepped in . Some were even worse--- despite kindly them them we were having private function, they still lingered around, saying they were taking a look. Hello, we are not animals exhibited at the zoo ok.
This was why i was upset when Xinyao realised that her wallet was missing & it couldn't be found that nite ... ( really relieved that after a week, she told me someone had found her wallet and sent it to the police station.)
Since the theme was "star" and every one must wear at least a star to the event. Fannie's bf Jeremy even went to buy stars at the last minute. Woah gimme face siah.
See pic below: (click on it for better view)
Naughty Guohao din wear any star, so kenna "star-struck" by my star wand. Now u know what was the purpose of that wand. Yaoxian's and Fannie's stars can be spotted immediately.
And to my surprise, Ah Du and Jianhua arrived on time! * Gasp*
But then I couldn't spot any stars on them.
Ah du pointed to the tiny weeny stars on his shirt while Jianhua took out his hp pouch....
"这样哪里可以。一定要戴着的。” I protested.
and u know what Jh did... he "wore" his hp pouch....
I think the caption for this should be :
"这样可也以啊？”
Then Jiahao came and said he had 102 stars on him. On his Converse shoes were 2 American flags (50 stars on each flag) and 2 stars.
Bingrong, Siping and their gang came with a pack of 100 star stickers each. But seeing jiahao had the high record then, they decided to pook their resources and pasted 300 star stickers on Bingrong, hoping to win the ATTRACTIVE PRIZES (which was still a mystery then).
Glad that they followed the theme seriously .
Above are the views from the rooftop – yah , can see the DHL hot air balloon nearby. Really envy those who were in it while watching the fireworks at 9pm that day.
See the pic of the plastic tables decorated with stars-twine and the trashbags-lookalike beanbags? Flutterby helped me with the deco. And quite a number helped with the balloons décor.
As I said, it’s a simple gathering this year. So the decorations were done at the last minute ahaha, while waiting for the other guests and food to arrive.
I had prepared different coloured stars numbered with wither “1” or “2”, and went round asking people to pick one of their choice. Many were curious ant I simply said it was for a simple game and it affects their “dinner time”. And someone gave me a really suspicious look….
喂！我哪有那么坏。才没时间想鬼点子来整人。
Actually, the 1st stage of the game is to get people to find people holding the same coloured stars as them. I know some of my friends "cheated" and exchanged stars among themselves... Simple ice-breaking game also paiseh to play har.....
Then , I 'd asked them to get into their the two groups according to the number written on the paper stars they were holding. Played SHE's Superstar and announced that "the group that is most 'high" gets to start dinner first". So that was why in my previous post, you see the video clip of Chengyao getting "high".
Meanwhile here are some photos taken before & after the buffet dinner. Try finding yr face. :)
More picture taken before the cake cutting session. (reminder: click on the pic for larger view)
Haha, gor got the courage to wear my furry shrug.
And what was BR, Gor and Jiahao doing behind our backs....
And what's with the “4大太太” pose.....
Who says the birthday gal wun get bullied.....
Think it was Mrs Jin-cheng who initiate the idea of "molesting" me. See her expression! Flutterby pulled of my ribbon and Mrs Wong touched my shoulder. Arghhh.
The juniors & gor made me lay on the bean bag with my leg raised up. Dunno why everyone wanna touch my head.
Maybe played too much liao, wasted lots of energy, and which was why I began to get really tried as the sky darkened.
Now, the group picture:
Think quite a few were missing.
That's the problem of holdng an event in an open space. Well, I already did my best to delay the cake cutting session with the most people presented as possible. Simply because the cake was contributed by my friends. Thanks to those who had contributed ya. And thanks to Fannie too, for taking care of that.
while making my wishes (haha I made 3 wishes, sorry arh, had lots of downs in the past year), wondered who was the person who shouted "李圣杰".
I can declared that none of the wishes I made were related to him. Yeah I am still sane ok, 不是花痴. And also, I had already gotten something.... (hahha, will update in my next post ba).
It's a blessing that Yaoxian & Bingrong had volunteered to come up with some games and hosted the game session, for I was feeling unwell after then. I guessed it is due to my anemic condition ba. So I took a rest while they carried on with their games. Chatted with "old txys" and woah, suprised to know that Xingfang was leaving Sg again for her PhD. Well, glad that I managed to catch up with her a little before she left Singapore for 5 years.
By looking at these pictures taken by Xinyao, I presumed the games involved blowing balloons...
Yah pretty obvious right. Think there were some biscuit eating games too.
Towards the end of the event, I gave out 'token" to my helpers.
Arhh, pity that the pic with xinyao did not turn out well.
And of course, i gave out the mysterious attractive prizes to the "starriest " person -- Bingrong.
The prizes were: A Pair of Magnets (hand made one hor).
Cos there is no way to define what's attractive as we all have different tastes. So I took the meaning literally. No one can argue that the magnets are not attractive lor. (they attracted to each other...)
Hahaha. Smart of me ya.
Ok dun wanna promised anything. If I have the time, I will update more on my pressies received.
Once again, a big "thank you" for those who came.
|I know this blog have been stagnant for a week. Had been busy lately. Lots of things to update too. Will try to update ASAP.
Superstar Event
12 Aug 2006
(din have much time now, to be updated. And i have not managed to meet up with Xinyao to collect the pics. So meanwhile, enjoy these pics taken with my Digicam or "koped" from Xinyao's blog and a video. Hopefully , I can update next week. Lots of things to report on .
Many thanks to
1)Bingrong and Yaoxian for hosting the games and sponsoring the props.
2)Xinyao, my dear photographer who remained so jovial despite missing yr wallet.
3) Yanfen &Jeremy and gor for providing free labour
4) Flutterby, for lending yr CD-player)
The theme for this year.
Welly & I, before everyone arrives
Of cos we must sing the Theme Song -- Superstar by SHE.
What the hell was happenning?
Frankly speaking, I was "shocked" when I saw these pics posted by Xinyao.
I had no idea what was going on at "games station" when I was taking a break.
Lily bouquet!
Huifen's & Jeffrey's Wedding (Part 1)
If I did not put this up, you guys will not be exclaiming “Woah so outdated!”.
Well, if I din post it, I know I will 对不起自己. Hahaha.
Of cos have to report on it, as it was my first experience of being a “姐妹”. (听说不能做超过3次哦。)
12 March 2006
After months of preparation, today is the big day for Huifen & Jeffrey! Huifen had been quite kan-cheong recently, which is unlike of her. Think she was even worried when I told her I will be away in Taipei just days before her wedding.
“你记得要回来leh.” She said.
Choi! Of cos I will come back, though how I wish I could stay in Taiwan for a few more days.
Ok back to the point. Heeding the advise from the fortune telling, the bride and bridegroom are to leave the bride’s house before 9am. I had woke up ard 6am just to reach her house at Bukit Merah at 7+am. Yawnzzz
依照传统习俗, we have to drink 糖水，吃汤圆。
Huifen parents kept urging us to eat more. There was a big cake from her 过大礼 too.
Oh forgot to mention that gathered at her house were 5 females and a male . Poor Kok Leung became our “姐妹” as he was closer to Huifen than to Jeffrey.
On the groom’s side, he also bring along 5 brothers and one female. So our side was “thorn among the roses” whereas theirs was “rose among the thorns”.
Huifen changed into her gown soon after we arrived, and then she helped to put on our corsages. （very furry!）.
Midway, she was like deciding whether she should go to the washroom. With her big pong pong gown, she hestitated and then walk backed to her room, yet walked back to the wash room again, undecided. Wedding jitters, we assumed.
Oh, there were quite a few 状况in the morning. Somehow, one of the camera battery went flat. Another memory was insufficient. They din engaged a professional photographer in the morning – to cut down on cost. But fortunately, they some how managed to get a charger and keep uploading the pic into the laptop to solve the prob of insuffient memory.
(well, it’s difficult to write everything in sequence)
While waiting for the groom and his brothers to arrived, the chief Jie-mei start to brief us on the sabotage plans (ignore Kok-leong, as he was acting as a photographer , not jie-mei). Trust her friend to come up with such devious sabotage:
The main theme was “酸甜苦辣”.
辣 : they brought out much-chee stuffed with wasabi. And we decided to squeeze more wasabi on top of them. 哇！！！！！
酸：they had prepared lemon puree and made them into shops of koniyaku jelly
苦: a glass苦瓜juice was brought out
甜: we had chocolate marshmallows . The plan was to put it as the last item so that the groom and his brothers will still be wary of such innocent things. *wink*
After much waiting, the groom and his brothers came. Nowadays the grooms always come at a later time so that they can avoid long sabotage and of cos the parents will rush them in order to avoid 错过吉时。
Huifen’s room was facing the corridor. And we caught her climbing over her mattress and peered at her husband through the windows. Aiyoh where got bride do such things one… And she jumped off from the mattress, denying her act. Hahah, so we send one of the jie mei to stay in her room to watch over her.
Well, we continue to haggle with the groom and his brothers. This is the only chance we get to torment policemen without risking going to jail. Haha cos Jeffrey and his brothers are all working for the Police Force.
The haggling sure took quite some time. First they borrowed a pen from us , then willing give us an angpowe when we request for $8888.
In the ang pow was just a tissue paper, written “$8888”.
One of the jie-meis shouted to the bride’s father:
“Uncle arh, 你的女儿只值一张tissue paper 啊！”.
Lots of haggling later, the guys took out 3 angpows, as us to choose one.
We opened one, and found only $20. ( If my memory din fail me)
And our jie-mei shouted to the bride’s father again:
“Uncle arh, 你的女儿只值二十块而已！”.
Then we haggled again. This time the groom asked us to pick one more angpow. We got her dad to choose.
In it, contained:
$128 in total.
Ok lah. We aren’t greedy. So we started our sabotage.See pics below:
Anyway we have to quickly proceed to our 2nd round of sabotage. The guys have to limbo rock their way into the living room. The groom even picked up the pet rabbit , hoping to use it as 挡箭牌。
Bleh!. There is one last round to go before we unlock the door to the bride’s room.
One of the jie mei had make some changes to the lyrics of Emil Chou’s “明天我要嫁给你啦” and turn it into “今天我要去你啦“。
Jeffrey even protested at the changes, saying he ‘s being 嫁 to huifen.
See, they even type out the lyrics and provided HanYu Pin yin.
As for the singing… ahem, well , I better dun comment. Watch this short clip instead.
Here's a pic of the couple.
After that we set off in 3 different cars to the groom’s house. Earned another angpow :P. (Had already received one from the bride’s mum, another one from the bride , and not forgetting the ping angpow the jie-me’s gotta spilt among themselves).
While the bride and bridegroom proceeded to the groom’s godmother house. The bride decided to release us early so that we can go home to have a rest and to doll ourselves up.
(to be continued)
clearing blog debts
Have not been blogging proper lately.
Here’s a quick report
24 Jul 2006,
It’s a last minute decision to celebrate Gor’s birthday. Hence only Jiahao & I are able to make it to Muchuan.
Well, what more can you expect. Arranged for the waitress to bring out the cake for him at 8.30pm. Also arranged for Monsters to sing him a birthday song and launched the “sabotage”. Gor was still recovering for a bad cough. Instead of having risk singing with his croaking voice, he chose not to sing at all. Lip Synched instead. It was quite hilarious.
These are the pics taken which include gor’s drawing of Monsters (hmm someone looked like a horse) and pics of Jiahao playing with hairband.
Well, I know this is not very important, but I could resisted taking a pic of the Nabeyaki Udon which I had order (Flora actually tot I was “ordering for fun” when I said I want the Nabeyaki udon. . Well … the “Nabe” does sounds like….). Look at that fish cake. So cuteeeeeeee!
5 Aug 2006
Stepped into SPH Audi again, to attend the Qiang3 Mai4 finals. The 1st singing competition organized by TXY.
Guess the finalists will be elaborating their feelings/thoughts, whatsoever on their blogs so I wun elaborate more ( arghh I am so tired, it is near to 1am now).
Anyway, TXY committee are out to earn $ from us. Haha , a good way to earn funds . 50% of the results are from votes casted from the audience. Each vote cost 20 cents/ I had to spilt my votes for the contestants of group category, as I know them all (yiwei, chengyao, siping , huifen).
Personally, I think the “highest” point of the competition is when Chengyao and Yiwei sang 恋爱ING. Everyone was laughing! No wonder Yuneng called them the 皇牌.
Congrats to the winners (especially the “咸鱼变鲍鱼” Yoyo). Actually all of them are winners as everyone has at least a trophy to bring home. The sound system was bad (well, can’t be helped), yet all of them remained unaffected and gave in their best . *clap *clap*
Overall, the event can be considered a successful one.
Triva:
* It’s was the 1st time I saw sips put on such heavy make up. But initially, she did not draw her eyebrows. After Yaoxian and I repeatedly commented that she looked as if she doesn’t have any eye brows (owww I was so direct), she was finally convinced that she needed to colour her brows.
* Ehh, should I considered myself lucky? I was one of the winners in the lucky draw. My prize: 金沙’s latest album (which is considered to be one of the better prizes.)
* Qium & I plan to be “pirates of the TXYs”. Hahahha
Yah, I know the above are still not considered proper blog posts . Sigh, what can I do?
Need to sleep now. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Some kind soul actually reserved a pair of tickets for me to attend the live! Show of Singapore Idol this Thurs, even though I did not request for it. However, I have to give them away as firstly, I dun think I am able to rush down in time after work. Secondly, none of my friends are interested in results shows. Most of them were asking for tickets to the Finals…..
humour@work
My working environment is so tiring, even my colleague’s teddy bear seems to display signs of fatigue.
My colleague purposely left her teddy bear in this position before she left office to help
out at an event. Well, if you are wondering what happened to my soft toys which I had put up on the ledge, sad to say, they have been removed weeks ago. Apparently, I had heard comments from someone that these don’t reflect well on our corporate image. Also gone were my posters of Jay & Jacky (not that I am crazy over them anyway).
Bleh! They should have taken a look at my previous desk or my ex-colleagues desks at SPH Magazines. People even gave me a big ribbon for me to tie on my i-Mac then. (must really dig out the pic ) My desk was directly in front of my ex boss, the editor, aka Dowager and the GM . And neither of them ever brought out any house rules..
Now back to the teddy. I guessed my colleague dare to bring it out now as the “big bosses” were also away. If not, some sensitive souls might create gossips that she putting up a silent demonstration.
On another note, received an email from Dr Lowem, containing pics of Superman in ridiculous costumes.
I personally like this the most:
