The weekend in brief

Friday, 20th November
As stated earlier, I knocked off from work at 1 pm due to the half-day off which I used due to public holiday incentive. I went to Orchard Road to have lunch, and then I went to Orchard Central to buy the all-new Smackdown vs Raw 2010 PSP game. In spite of the heavy rain, I managed to reach home safely without getting wet, and then surfed Internet for about 2 hours. Left house at 5.30 pm, reached Expo at 6.15 pm and had quick dinner. Went to Expo Hall 4 to reconnect with some old friends (namely fellow MediaCorp fanatics) see 4 types of dances, and a hosting segment by MediaCorp artistes Rayson Tan and Koh Yah Hwee. Wah sei, Ya Hui's heirdo super short like mushroom eh. A few fans managed to take pic with the 2007 Star Search starlet before she and Rayson got escorted off to car park region rather quickly. Right after they left at around 8.50 pm, I took train and bus back home in time to watch another episode of WWE Smackdown.

Saturday, 21st November
Internet time in morning. Work in afternoon. Then after me and 3 more guys rolled down the shutter, we went separate ways... myself heading to good ol' Orchard to watch some performances at YouthBox Star semi-finals at Level 1. To my surprise, there were a few old friends there, whom I hadn't seen for about 2 years. Main purpose of going there was obviously to root for Jasmine Tye who was one of the semi-finalists (turns out that SI 3 semi-finalist Benjamin Chow was also involded). Joselin Ng was the guest performer, and man did she look really HAWT!! Us SI fans took pic with Jasmine and left the place at 8 pm. By the time I got back home, i got an sms stating that Jasmine has proceeded to the finals. Whee, congrats!! :-)

Sunday, 22nd November
Start of the Sagittarius Star
This truly is a crazy day. After doing contrast-and-brightness control for morning service, I went down to Suntec City to have quick lunc, then loiter around a bit. The moment I got to LEvel 3 of Suntec Convention, I was trapped in a huge crowd full of shutterbugs taking pictures of various Cosplay characters (there was an Anime Festival going on at Level 4).

After staying there for about an hour, I went up to Hall 601 to escape the madness as well as await the arrival of 2 MediaCorp artistes who are set to promote their upcoming drama "Together"... Dai Yang Tian and Eelyn Kok!! I seriously didn't expect to see Eelyn again after so long (abt 6 months, to be exact)... yep there was a photo taking sesssion for the fans, you bet I was delighted to take pic with Eelyn again (as well as DYT). Me and the DYT fans (the ever-lovable Hui Si meimei included) went to see the starlets off in the lift lobby. Stayed around the place a little longer to snap more pics of Cosplay characters (most particularly the hot babes!!), before heading down to Bugis region to have dinner, and take long bus ride back home... reached home at 7.40 pm.
