Happy Halloween!

As most of my friends will know, I am well-known to be a typical “cheena-pok”, thus Halloween to me will mean nothing except for Caucasians/ ‘Banana’ Singaporeans having fun scaring people and dressing up as scary people.

Perhaps the idea of actually going out after school on Halloween gave me the drive to wanting to play dress up for a day. Thus, a friend and I said we were going to make some preparations for Halloween. This was probably decided last weekend, and the easiest outfit I could get out from my wardrobe would be closer to a witch. Yes, because being the huge Harry Potter fan I am, throughout the years I’ve gotten myself the magical stuffs that appeared it the Harry Potter movies/books.


My friend decided to do up decorations as well as go for Halloween shopping, you know, the “Trick or Treat” question you have to ask and give out candies? Yeah, I think he purchased quite a lot of ‘em and distributed among friends.

Heh. This year’s Halloween would probably mean a little something to me since I actually forgo my woolen jacket to bring the accessories/toys instead. No lah, I had a fun day with a few of my friends both in school and outside of school.

While I was hosting, Germaine wanted to play as well. :) Can you see that the conty is being drawn with ghosts, pumpkin and witch? :D I digress, don't you agree that she looks like local celeb, Constance Song? Hmm.

I was demoralized in the noon as the last thing I wanted from Ziggy Soh was to lock me out of the classroom, AGAIN. I even skipped all my meals just to rush to the class! ☹

If I’m not mistaken, he seems to like to pick on Bruce, Selwyn and me a lot. Midway during Advertising, he made Bruce and me tell a joke to the class while loading for MeL to load, followed by teasing/insulting us, cracking the class up. 0.0

Stupid Selwyn had been disturbing me all day with the fake wands (his rolled up posters actually), and fooling around with my witch’s hat that I think Ziggy might be a little offended.




Joining me to dress up yesterday was none other than Selwyn and Bruce, whom dressed up as Gibryon and Jap man respectively. This reminds me that I forgot to take photo of Bruce’s half-costume! Everybody had a good laugh with Selwyn’s pink polo and high-waited trousers, well and I’m sure he had fun time as well since he looked metalhead/emo for the rest of the 364 days. :P


On the way to FMS block, Heather wore Selwyn’s black mask and made her look like she came out from Star Wars movies, and that was really interesting as well! She was getting so much attention! She looks really good in the mask though, don’t you think so? :D


At TV Production, I had an awesome with my classmates, taking loads of photos while switching roles for our TV practice (next entry! :D ). Mr Foo thought I was going to party later in the night and queried, saying that he would come and join me, haha! How cute.

Someone even brought out the broom from within the studio to complete my look. :D I brought my HP scarf, plushie Pigwidgeon (my pet owl name!), and witch’s hat. Of course, I tied plaits because that’s how little witches look like, are they not? Plus, I wore a brown satin dress, since I don’t have black cloak or Hogwart’s school uniform (which is a pity!). Heh. Overall, it’s a fun experience in school to have people looking at you while you walk around in school, some giving you weird looks and raised eyebrows.

At 6pm, I went underpass Eil and Neng, and headed to Holland Village. One thing I realized, we’re all very “anything” people, so when we stood in front of Thai Express, that’s the first time Eil and I ate there. Haha.


The food was good, I finished every bit of it. Eil’s Tom Yum looked so innocent, no trace of any orangey-red colour nor chilli oil floating, but she says it tastes spicy. Interesting.


Over dinner, something most extraordinary (to me) happened. Well, let’s say it’s the most ‘open’ conversation ever took place in my life, having a friend beside me while the other talked about things that make me felt so…different. Hur. The secret is kept safe between us three. Hur.




We were meant to go Cold Rock (Café, is it?) to have ice-cream, as recommended by Neng. So we had 2 large cups of ice-cream there, I love it! The place was very well-decorated, strategically placing a cloaked skeleton near the door step. Initially I thought it was stationary, but when I touched its hands to examine it further, it moved and cackled, “Save me! Save me!”. Obviously, I got a shock, jumped on the spot, and heard laughter spreading in the small shop. 0.0

Thanks ah. ☺


I have no idea why, but when I saw these three girls dressed up as ghosts, I had to courage to ask if I could take photo with them. Super fun can, asking random people to take photo with me. :P




I hope you've had a Happy Halloween as well!


Indeed, I was lethargic as the day drew to a close, but I had an awesome time on the bus, thinking, on the things that will make me smile in my sleep.

Thanks Eil and Neng! ☺

Like a lot.

For the Naggy, yet Lovable ones.

Tsk. Girls only approach me on MSN for photos. Well I’m referring to the ten-girl clique I stayed with in secondary school. See luh, I'm so nice, still help you all photoshop. Kindly credit me if you're using them ok! I take pride in my work. Hur.

26th Oct is our ‘Lopez’ Goh Si Hui’s 18th birthday. She invited us out for a dinner, supposedly at Brewerkz Restaurant. But because she didn’t book a 12-seater 3 days in advance, we found ourselves needing to wait for an hour and half if we were to dine there.

This is the birthday girl, I recall the days where I spent my prelim days at her place, supposedly doing work, but end up playing and Friendster-ing at good-looking guys. Tsk. Haha. Good times! She's super amiable and funny. :D

It was donkey ages since I last met these ladies. From left: Liang Yu, Si Hui, Chern Harn.


Thus, we had a change of plans and headed to Chen Fu Ji Chinese Restaurant instead. Ok lah, it’s not that bad actually, they have yummy food and we insisted on getting good service from the manager. Haha.

It’s been slightly over more than a year since I last meant a few of them like Liang Yu, Harn, Si Hui, and the Sassy G Girls (will explain later).

The Sassy Gs went to Raffles City to get 18 huge balloons for the birthday girl, as well as the cookie cake, hence late. The others, upon their stammering words and furious sms-es, apologized that they will be late. =.=

Hot babe Hui Shi (left), I heard she was picked up in Plush, but she walked away from him. Haha.

We used to be love rivals for awhile. Hur. Old school! Old school!



Looking good! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI!

I'm a tad bit disappointed we didn't get to eat any of this. :(
(Click on picture to enlarge ah)

Anyway, the dinner was great, we caught up and biatch-ed about bloggers, models and local celebs. Hur, not forgetting to show them my picture with Thomas Ong of course (I know I’m very naïve, but I like Thomas a lot!). Plus, the bill adds up to $400, which is very, very scary.

My shirt button snapped open, walao.

All the pretty ladies Neng missed out.


As we strolled along the Clarke Quay, we 12 girls get all the attention as we are considered a big group, and what with 18 red, pink and silver balloons in my hands, people can’t help but notice us.





The happy clique! :)

Following dinner, Cherie was supposed to bring us into Plush Club as Mafia guests, but because I can’t get away with the whole cheat-using-ez-link-card, all of those who wanted to club, went ahead. I, along with Harn, left. But she left because she didn’t want to go, taking into consideration it was already 12am.

So sadly I traveled home alone, feeling a bit mistreated by Bibi and co, and went to sofa(bed) in little tears.

Luckily Saturday was good!

Note to self: Stop flirting with someone. Friends have noticed your strange/funny language and behaviour. ☹ (I swear I didn’t do it on purpose!)

UFM 1003 SIX PARTY @ Dragonfly

Thursday after school, I stayed on for a couple of hours to have lunch with some of my classmates.

In line after school is of course the forthcoming VIParty happening at St. James Power Station Dragonfly. Because BiBi is aready living with me now, I end up playing with him and was late. In a jiffy I changed into my neon pink tights (given by Eil) and dad drove us there.

Initially I thought I wouldn't be able to get in since I am not part of the UFM 1003 'Family', but luckily I was granted entrance and given the staff tag. Hur. :P



Even we were considered early reaching at 6.30pm instead of the allocated time at 7pm, apparently the club was already busting. The queue went all the way beyond carpark. =.= In the queue, were lined with crowds of green as the DJs have instructed them to do so (green is the station colour). I wore black, because I thought DJ Ken was going to pass him the station tee, but he forgot. Oh well. :)

In a desperate attempt to make myself useful, I agreed with whatever duties thrown to me and praying hard they could let me help out. However, all I got to do was bring in 2 VIPs, which I gladly did. Next time I shall volunteer for me jobs, else I feel utterly useless and helpless! :(


When I got in, the seats were already all filled up, the turn out was good. I was led to the VIP area (console area) to put my bag and began chatting with whoever was there. The programme didn't begin until 7.30pm. Yeap.

So as a prelude, Dragonfly artistes sang about 6 songs or so to entertain the crowds during the time being.

I wasn't paying much attention because we were standing at the side near the make-up room (all the performers are there), so I took photos with the few of my UFM friends. Hur.

From left: Chun Yan (also known as Xiao Bu Dian), Kai Xuan (Pang pang) and I.
They're 2 of the 4 female finalists in Fight Club competition.

Cindy (above left) was pretty much into the atmosphere already, so she picked up a red wine from the bar behind and was happily drinking away. She was to uh, make sure everything goes in sequence that day.

For the opening show, Ah Ken did a solo. Just right before he went on stage, his sister was busily attending to his shirt sleeves.

Tugging away, with occasional 'tsk,tsk' . Guys just can't handle by themselves. :P

His rendition on "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" with his saxophone left a deep impression in my mind. Most importantly, was that -someone- touched by his performance? Hur hur.

Anyway, you can catch his programme at the above time/day.

Up next, we have the bigger and popular duo, Li Mei and Wen Hong.

I swear Li Mei was looking gorgeous in her carefully picked dress and thick make-up. Meanwhile, I could tell that she was determined to put up a great performance, and she did. She did a solo with Teresa Teng's "Qian Yan Wan Yu", then along with Wen Hong, sang Lee Hom/Selina's " Ni Shi Wo Xin Li De Yi Shou Ge".

I have no idea why I seriously think they sang better than the original singers. I was very intrigued by the duet. Haha.

Anyway, Wen Hong wasn't supposed to know that I' taking his picture secretly. 0.0


If you happen to be a listener of UFM 1003, or watched "Just Shoot" on Channel U, you would definitely know who is De Ming, the long-standing guest of both programmes. Actually, in person, he's not like his TV/radio persona, and he has a attractive smile. Haha. I kinda regretted not talking to him then.

Wen Hong had promised his listeners/supporters that he was going to do a striptease, and the performance was much-awaited. When he came on donned in this cowboy suit, he drew loud applause and cheers. The striptease itself was pretty disappointing, because in the end he was still wearing a black sleeveless shirt and the exact same pair of jeans. Haha.

He did threw the belt, sunglasses and cowboy hat away, and the audiences snatched it, I'm surprised. :D

Heh heh.

Here's a view of how the VIP area looks like, situation behind the stage, they have access to free flow of alcohol and snacks. This is the place where all he advertisers, sponsors, directors and family members gather.

I did enjoy my cola and red wine. :)


Li Mei changed her outfit for a hip-hop look for her dance later on (which I missed because I was chatting,sorry!).

I seriously love Ke Min. She has this aura/attitude/etiquette that I adore and very much want to be like her if/when I become a DJ and a mama.

Do you know she has two kids already? 0.0 Shocking I know. :)

She's so pretty, and very nice. Hee.

Thrice, all the DJs had gathered on the stage to either mingle with the audience or sing, or both. I must say, the atmosphere really did achieve the 'highest' point with more rhythmic songs sung by them.

Yes! In addition to being a mother of two with a good figure, Ke Min can play the drums luh! Walao, super envious of her. She did a short solo on the drums. Nice.


Midway, we were thirsty so I asked Dao Kai and the girls if they want any drinks. I headed to the bar and had the cola. Hur. The second time I went over to the bar, Dao Kai and Chee Ming was getting drinks for us girls, so I was waiting for the guys.

And I spotted Thomas Ong and MC King for the first time. Thomas Ong is only 3 steps, no, 2 steps away from me. My organs are like, screaming inside. Haha. I looked at him having difficulty cutting a piece of fish into two. His face is full of concentration and expressions, screaming CUTE! :D :D :D

Of course I didn't have the courage to walk up to them, so I quietly retreated. :(

I approached Li Mei for the first time and asked for a photo. :) She's very warm-hearted, nice and funny. If you're wondering why the black patch on this two photos, that's because of my camera's lens cover, which one side of it broke and the is now loose, thus leaving the other half hanging in the air. 0.0

This is Mr. Ken, the one who invited me to this party (I think? Or I'd like to think). This 22-year-old chap is fun to hang around with, very friendly and seems to be falling in love with a special someone. Ahem. Haha.

Halfway through the performance, Thomas Ong and MC King came over to our side to talk to Li Mei (they were there to support her), and they were like, right behind me. Chun Yan is another one who, like me, wants to take picture with Thomas but we didn't dare ask, and I think Yan Zhi or someone helped us announced out loud and thus we got the chance. Heh.

I am a happy girl now, I can die without regrets with these:

If you paid extra attention to where his hands are placed, it's on me shoulder and around me! Heh heh. :P

I'm so high I can fly. I hate myself for not ale to bring myself to talk to him, like you know, make friends despite the age gap. Hur.

The second time I made my round to the bar, a guy approached me and introduced himself and his friend. Hur. His friend had offered his wine to me as well, which I almost finished. :)

*gasp* There's one thing about pole dancing that I don't like. I see the perverted uncles looking wildly at the girls with wily eye just disgusts me, a lot. Some of the DJs learned from these two professional girls and did a it of pole dancing as well.

And whoa, Anna was wearing black hot pants, spells sexy.

Chee Ming here is the one who has been helping me a lot, and I thank him for his goodness! :) Engineering guys can rock big time sometimes. :D

This would be another DJ with a sharp tongue, Jian Wen. The first time I heard him on air, I was interested, and it was only when I to the studio that I got to see him. I like his style, he's very funny. :)

Nearing the end of the party, there was a mass photo-taking session, which I'm not involved in. Look at the crowd, I think they had really enjoyed themselves, except for having to stand for 2 hours, the entire club packed like a sardine.


I didn't 'dance' at all, alright? I only watched the performance and helped to cheer for them. Hur.

I accompanied the rest to the office, and TRIED to make myself useful but to no avail. :(

The whole bunch of 20 people went for supper at Ding Tai Fung.

What I can remember is that I have to cab home, again.
