GET YOUR SEXY BACK!! GYSB Boomz 09!

The night started off with a long queue at the entrance of velvet underground! Party goers started to queue way before the 7.30pm starting time of the GYSB Boomz 09! Armed with a pair of VIP tickets, courtesy of OMY, I made my way to the VIP area, carrying a heavy goodie bag courtesy of the various sponsors such as CLEO, NUM, etc.

                                

The first act was songs by Jilian-Marie Thomas. She sang a number of medleys, and of course not forgetting the theme song of GYSB! The audience was wowed by her strong and powerful vocals!

Next up was the famous Singaporean band DFC. They too belted out a couple of fav songs, together with the Chinese version of the theme song for GYSB. Fans were shouting and supporting their fav singers and bands whenever they were up on stage.

Project superstar winners Chen Diya and Carrie Yeo were next in line, and they not only sang their fast moving number, they also had a duet together! The best part is, they announced they were releasing their new album soon, sending the audience cheering and whistling in delight!

Local indie-alternative band En-X was the next performers on stage, by this time I could see the audience were getting a little bit restless, but hey the best is always left for the last! When En-X belted their last number, the audience went into frenzy as up next was the long awaited performance everyone has been longing for, the highlight of the evening. None other then JJ Lin coming on stage!

The boyish singer certainly has a huge fan base, as everyone started screaming and chanting his name, and JJ certainly lived up to his superstar status, and belted out a number of his hit singles, which got the audience singing along. He also shared that at some point, he almost gave up the journey, but thanks to the support of the people around him, he persevered and will be releasing a new album soon! That send the audience into another frenzy, as he gave one and all present a sneak preview of one of the singles in the upcoming album.

Overall it was a fantastic night, lots of great music, Jamie Teo was as pretty as ever as host, most importantly the message of responsible drinking was send to everyone present, and I left feeling great about it!

The Princess and the Frog – 1st Kisses

Upcoming in the cinemas, there is an interesting fairytale movie show – The Princess and the Frog. Not the usual First kiss where you get a prince after kidding the frog - NICE~

This is so like real life: Murphy’s law plays a great part and never EVER get your expectations to high, or you may get stuck in it. Make your best out of your situation and you may be well-rewarded!

Well looking back at my First Kiss, it was not really Froggish but neither was a a dream come true. Well about 70% dream come true though what came after that was disastrous.

As being a couple was a totally new experience for me, i had no experience in any form of kissing – probably on my hands, arms – and some stolen kiss from neighboring aunties who found me cute. That was it – for practice.

Worse of all? I’ve got a buddy who edged me, challenging me to the fact that i could not kiss my GF – as i was a MCP, and i was worried that one thing may lead to another and i so do not want that. Thus begin my planning for that ultimate kiss.

It was at her house, when i was leaving. Not wanting to lose the bet to my friend, i boldly summed up all my courage and asked her: “Can i KISS you?” – she shyly nodded. Elated our first kiss was brief – yet it felt like the time stopped, and it was eternity. the joined moment for the first time sent electric blots right down my spine. So much so that i lost my brain for that instant and was jumping out with joy – blurting out the fact that i have won the bet with my buddy. “What bet?”

OMG – Silence that lasted for eternity another eternity experience came over me. That was it. I spilled the beans and made the best experience into the worst experience a girl could ever have. NOT that i didn’t kiss due to love, just that there was this minor 5% in it that i was glad to have won the best and not be a wussy.

LIFE does not go as you plan. What will go WRONG will always go Wrong. zzzzzz

Although it ended quite bad (for me,cause after that she kept on asking for some every other day), it was definitely something i would remember for life. :)

Whatever the case it, treasure your loved ones no matter the situation is and have an adventure of a lifetime. And please:-

A Christmas Carol” starring Jim Carrey opening in Singapore cinemas 19th November 2009

I was propitious when i knew that i won tickets to the 3D movie. Even more so when i reached the venuw and found out that for once, a preview of a show, there isn't a need to rush into the cinema as we are assigned seats! ( Although it could be better - i and my girlfriend had to be seperated D-18 & D-19, which was a tit too aweful) Ontop of it, there were christmas goodies (PopCOrn, a drink - A&W or Green Tea, and the picture below! Ikea Jar of delectables) on the chair!! I am so looking forward to the show. :)



As it began, i was quite annoyed with the previews of the shows to come in 3D as wearing glasses wasn't really helping the situation at all, although the popcorn did allivate the situation a little. And so it all began, as i expected a little - a grumpy person who hated christmas just like the GRINGE, but the awesome acting by Jim Carry really brought out the darkness and with the 3D effect, the reality of the magical effects was so surreal.

As the story goes - the grumpy Scrooge was visited by the christmas ghost: Past, Present and Future. I would highly recommend this show as to me, there was a turn of events from what i remembered.

Kids would probably be frightened and appreciate christmas a little more and i am sure, staunch believers would agree that this goes beyond the Mother Mary theory, and still the bottom line is i would bring across is KARMA.

For a festive season, go watch this show, and one can see how much joy one can bring by just opening their hearts and seeing things in another prespective - one may be able to bring joy just by contributing a little from whatever one has..

Jaa~ for now :)

~Appreciate the one around you, so that when you leave, good memories can warm the hearts of those you LOVE.~

Graduation & the mark of Night Shift

Finally i have started on my night shift, and as expected – the time limit (like Ultraman) is only till 5am in the morning. When we were having an conference meeting with grant, i actually doze off and snored! zzz.. For the first time, micro break did me more harm: Fall asleep time was like 30sec!

Hopefully i am able to tune my body and do better tomorrow.

Well first up: Food from my colleagues The beautiful plate of lor mai fun (glutinous .rice ) and famous amos cookies. Many Thanks to Nancy and Kris for the food.

To begin, we went to Yummy Crab for our graduation. @ 351 Changi road. Price was about 30 per person and the food was definitely above average. But i would recommend going for crabs, salted egg sotong and the fried rice only. Enough said. Let your eye start feasting.

   

We ordered 2 types of crabs. The chili crab and the butter crab. Both are really tasty but i would prefer the female – butter crab as it is less spicy. With regards to the salted egg sotong, it would be a favorite if it went along with some rice. a tit to salty but delicious. :)

Jaa~ for now, as most likely i would post more picture on either facebook or here.. stay tuned people :)

Lunch @ Bedok & Family Dinner @ PuTien (Flagship Outlet)

Yoz Mina San~ It’s been one month since i posted anything here – of course for the past month or so – many things happened – those who follow my facebook will know – i went to taiwan and back to M’sia to visit my Granny as i started work on the 1st Oct @ Xilinx le. Taiwan foodie pictures can be seen @ my facebook site. For now, just let ur eyes feast upon the food i have taken the past week :)

Working @ Xilinx is really awesome – I took this job in the first place due to it’s night shift timing and course it is near my place. Never did i know will i meet great people within the company – Jennive, Kris & Jun Hao my lunch kakis and of course the whole group: Leslie, Arlyn, Pearlyn, Michelle and our adorable trainer Nancy (Who is supposed to make Lor Mai Fan on Tuesday for us ^u^!! Yummy!!)

Super grateful to Jen, Kris and Jun Hao for always jioing me to lunch and it is always them who are driving.. Arigatou gozaimas.. Thanks alot, i just want express my greatest gratitude as ferrying a fatty bom bom like me really cost more fuel :P And thanks Jen for the shopping trip to Metro (and the EPS charges), sorry i did not bring my metro card on that day.. GOme~

Although for the next 2months, we going to be 8-5pm, i really hope to spend more time with them and learn more new things from them, especially wanna know more on the engineering side from Irene if possible :) Still have 2 weeks to consider the teacher job though.. Haix..

To start: This week We decided to Comb Bedok and try every outlet/market in the area. Thanks Jen for the idea – i didn’t know Bedok was such a Night area. I only knew about the Bar chor mee and Simpang Bedok’s Roti Prata..

Taman Bedok’s Ayam Pennant, It had a long queue, $4 for one but i forgot the stall name. I think that this food is great as it is really a delicacy.

Next up: Simpang Bedok’s Tang Tea House

Nancy told us about this place and she wanted to try the hala dim sum – many thanks to kris

   

From top to bottom: we had Dim Sum (Shanghai Dumplings, Siew Mai, Shui Jing Bao, Carrot Cake & Beancurd Roll), Fried Hongkong noodles, Fried Chili Beef Nasi Goreng, and my personal Fav – Beef kway teow!! Many thanks to Jen :) and lastly, my drink Wheatgrass Coconut which is super cooling, as i ordered the Chili nasi goreng which was SUPAR SPICY!!! luckily kris and nancy saved me by swapping their HK noodles with me.. Arigatou.. ^n^ ~ I would highly recommend the beef kway teow only if u are not scared of oily stuff.. Dim sum i would recommend the beancurd roll and chicken siew mai. Rest are ok nia lor..

Lastly, DInner!!! @ Pu Tien

We had a family dinner @ Pu Tien as Da ge found a fantastic offer – 100% rebate for the month of Oct and on their opening day we had a 20% discount. Well enough said.. here is wat we ordered at first.. Dozou~

   

For Starters: We had Jellyfish and Small Pig intestines. I would recommend the intestines if u are a lover – the chili goes well with it. As for the jellyfish, nothing much lor..

   

Next, Mains: Chili La La, Clay pot Sea Cucumber, Specialty Vegetables, Garlic Prawn, Pu Tien Eggplant. (recommendation: Prawn)

 

As i felt that there is much more to be tried, i ordered Pu Tien Lor Mee and the Specialty Meat bun ($2.80 per pc). Both AWESOME!

 

The Design of Pu Tien looks interesting, on close scrutiny of the picture you can find lots of stories in the old CHina history. Feeling happy that there was good food thus went snapping mindlessly.. :)

 

The last picture was the staff of Pu Tien’s Supper – that bowl of noodles is whatever noodles leftover i think..

To sum it up:

 

But please bear this in mind – although there is a rebate, the vouchers are more a less a gimmick/ Fake. Please see the voucher i have taken as a guide, there is a minimum spending of $50 to use the Voucher!!! We had $150 and there is an expiry date.. Sianz..

 

Looks damn stupid lah.. Super kenna conned.. Well if there is any outings for a meal, i think it will definitely be here.. got voucher must use mah.. GOme~ pple

Till Next time – Jaa Mata~
