Day of madness at Compass Point!! (caution: long entry!!)

Happy Birthday to Justin Roberts and Summer


It was truly a day of chaos, confusion and pure madness at Compass Point yesterday... who would have expected the response to be overwhelming beyond words!! :-O

Firstly I took a bus to the place at 11 plus... when i got there, I saw a rather long queue, back then I had no idea that the 100 fans had already been determined (and the first few had been there as early as 8 am!!). Still I went to the basement to have quick lunch, then headed to the right side of the stage, hopefully to get a good view... saw Melvin, Paul, Hoetian, Liqing, Peiling and Hui Si among the 100 fans (within the barricaded sector).

Wait a minute, I noticed a very familiar person among the 100 fans... oh xuete, it's Alvin The Hutt!! I won't be surprised if he's gonna scream non-stop like what he's been doing for a long time...

Funny thing was, when I showed Alvin the thumbs down here, he showed me the thumbs up in return... could be he actually 'agrees' with me on my opinion about him for once (i.e. he really sucks!!). But still I must admit it was lucky for him to get poster, so no use getting jealous of him anyway... hope he doesnt grope or caress any of the cast members later (like what he did at Ngee Ann City a few mths ago!!).

Here, Alvin seems to enjoy being the center of attention. Sounds a lot like a certain someone...!!

This was the crowd at the time I reached the ground level at abt 1 pm...

This was the overall response after 1430 hrs!!! Superbly crammed til cannot breathe at all man!! The kids aged below 12 perhaps had the most difficult time squeezing through the crowd. Due to the overwhelming response, the escalators had to be stopped for the next one hour or so for the people to stay put and watch the event. According to the Channel 5 and 8 news, the total number of people present for the event from ground floor to 4th level totalled to about 5000!!! Wah piang eh... even the last Singapore Idol season 2 roadshow at Causeway Point and the Hype Up roadshow at Jurong Point didn't contain that many people lor!!! @_@

Even the host Ben Yeo was taken aback by the great response. He joked that the amazing turnout made them all felt like ‘superstars’. Without further ado, he brought in the first batch of cast members...


The bad characters!! Pan Lingling as Xiufeng, Cynthai Koh as Xiujuan, Darren Lim as Huang Jincheng, Eelyn Kok as Huang Zhenzhu, Andie Chen as Huang Tianbao, and Zzen Zhang as Robert Zhang. There were sounds of mock booing from mostly the Jeanius fans and the Dai Yang Tian fanclub.

Next batch drew more cheers obviously... it's the good characters!! Jeanette as Huang Juxiang/Shanben Yueniang, Qi Yuwu as Chen Xi, Joanne as Huang Yuzhu, Dai Yang Tian as Shanben Yangjian, Ng Hui as Ah Tao and Li Yinzhu as Chen Lao Tai.


All 12 of them and Ben gathered together to celebrate Yang Tian's birthday (he turned 24), and then they turned around to be featured in a commercial for the roadshow turnout.

As the cast headed to the back for a rest, Ben brought forward the talented and beautiful Olivia Ong, who sang the theme song of "The Little Nyonya". Majority of them took out their mobile phones or videocams to record Olivia singing "Ru Yan". Olivia really very chio, more beautiful than the time I saw her performing by the Singapore River some 4 years ago... I thought she looked a bit like Gayle Nerva :-)

Then came the autograph session... the cast got seated first. Then as the first few lucky fans got on stage to have their posters autographed, some of us fans decided to take taxi to Radiogate... we later found out that some of the tiles actually cracked soon after we (the Jolliteers) had left!! Also, one unfortunate soul vomitted somwehere (eeeewww) at the right side of tha place, quite far where me and a few others were standing. Lucky the person didn't throw up in the middle, otherwise the situation confirm will be much more chaotic than it already was...

Funny thing was, myself and 2 more Jollity fans reached RG a little earlier than Rina, Vince, Joey and Delphine (who came by Rina's car of course)... there at RG I could already see Hoetian and gang as well as some of the fans who were among the 100. And guess who came soon after... Cheryn and that jackass... the very one who likes to step on my own head many times and 'wants to live his life the way he wants it to be'. :-S Lucky he didn't go for the event, otherwise I will sure bash him up on the spot. Although I did show him the crotch chop and middle fingers, I chose not to confront him at all, knowing too well that he's got family problems recently (it is for that reason that I made sure I don't include him in any of my pics). Plus, he looks damn gay in white cap, blue Superman shirt and green pants (Christopher Reeve would be rolling in his grave if he were to know abt this)!! I think MKP puposely wear like that just to show off his 'sexy legs'!! Who on earth does he think he is? Eminem/John Cena/Superman??? POOI EH!!! :-@

Anyway at 5 pm, the bus returned to RG, and the cast got off. Cynthia was first to show up... she didnt seem very friendly to me, although she did autograph certain articles from other fans. Not exactly my cup of tea if you ask me...

Yuwu came out to take photo with some fans (not all) and autograph some articles... he had to head back into the studiop for more stuff. I did get an autograph from him though. I personally prefer him without the woolen cap...

Joanne came out at around this time, but so did Jeanette. Knowing that Jo wouldnt be leaving so soon, I opted to go find "Huan Wo Ji Tang" first (she had to rush off to somewhere else)... I got her autograph, took pic with her and gave her a toy tiger as Christmas present (my means of showing my appreciation for her hard work). Great success!! :-)

Right after "Yueniang" left, me and a few other fans headed to Joanne... I got waekened a little when she put her hands on her shoulder again, but I held on to her waist to prevent myself from falling (no, I don't have any funny ideas at all, the pavement was rather uneven).

"Robert Zhang" came out soon after... he is the very guy who raped Yuzhu in the show. I had to admit that Zzen (the name of the real actor) makes a very good villain, even though I "hate" him and a few other characters to the core.

We saw Andie and Eelyn walking to the direction of the reception... not sure if they exited from there. Later I found out that Eelyn had left with Darren via his van... :-(

Joanne left at abt 1750 hrs, but not before posing with Piglet :-)

At abt 6 pm, a familiar face came forth... it's Fiona!! Surprised to see her yet again after me and Source had seen her at Suntec for the Carlsberg event just the day before... haha, pure luck once more! :-D Actually she was gonna attend Channel 5 countdown meeting (which she would be part of)... but it was kinda strange of her to park her car opposite RG instead of inside.

Between 6 to 6.50 pm: MKP left Radiogate at around this time, but not before opening up his super-large umbrella and showing it off to everyone else. See if he dares use it when he gets enlisted to NS!! That's when he will eventually know the true meaning of siong!! During this time, I was either chatting with Source or teasing Hui Si and Peiling with pictures of cats from my digicam...

At abt 1855 hrs, another familiar looking girl came out... IT'S YA HUI??? We were shocked (and a little sad) to see her with short hair, though she still looked as sweet and pretty as before... she took taxi home I think.

At abt 1905 hrs, Jade Seah arrived, she got to autograph on the 8 days calendars, and then rushed inside for Ch 5 countdown meeting which she was late for. I forgot to take solo pic of her, but I can tell you that she looked really hawt in dark blue top and black skirt.

At 1915 hrs, Huang Wenyong came out... he was heading to the reception area to return wardrobe.

Me and Source decided to leave the place soon after Wenyong left, but not before I teased Hui Si one more time. Both of us went to Toa Payoh for dinner, then went our separate ways. I was close to turning into Venom on the way home due to a few leggy babes aboard the same bus...

Overall it was truly a crazy, sweaty but worthwhile day at Compass Point... good thing I chose not to go for the Ch 8 countdown party at VivoCity this Wed... I can't afford to go through this kind of overwhelming and sticky situation again. Moreover, I have a New Year's lunch outing to attend on Thursday...

Carlsberg event at Balaclava on Boxing Day

On Friday night, I went to Suntec City with some friends to attend the Carlsberg roadshow at Balaclava featuring the 3 Carlsberg Lucky Ambassadors Michelle Chia (Love), Fiona Xie (Health) and Allan Wu (Friendship). This is the first of 3 events, all hosted by comedian Irene Ang. Almost couldnt recognise "Rosie", who was wearing a green dress similar to the one Fiona wore the previous week.

The main difference for this event was, only patrons aged 25 and above are allowed to enter the place, and they have to show their ICs to the security for proof. The rest who do not meet the minimum age requirement would have to wait outside. The security guards weren't totally convinced that me and Eric were above 25 even though we had already showed them our ICs, and asked us to say out our ICs, and we did so withour stopping... proof that the ICs are authentic (I mean come on, who can fake that??). I only went for the first one, then went home soon after they left for the next location, but not before taking picture with Fiona! :-p

Pictures taken during the first few minutes outside the bar

Pictures taken inside Balaclava... focusing more on patrons playing games with Allan, while Mich and Fiona were having a drink at the corner.

The 3 ambassadors filming for the next Carlsberg ad, firstly in English then followed by Chinese (which proved quite a challenge for the American-bred Allan).

This pic actually consisted of myself, Fiona and Eric... but then Eric requested me to remove his image from the pic and send to me a separate copy of the original pic to him...

The autographed pages of the 8 days magazine :-)

Little Nyonya roadshow today!!

Happy Birthday to...

26th Dec- Raymond Chan, Joey Tan

27th Dec- Daniel Ong, Dai Yang Tian

Just a few more hours, and the Little Nyonya roadshow is about to commence. By the time you read this, I would have already left the house to reach Compass Point early and book a front row seat, as well as try getting the poster. Pictures and details to come either later tonight or on Sunday ;-)

Random reports during the Christmas season

Random thoughts for the week before I 'surrender' myself to yet another grueling assignment...

- The Singapore Flyer observation wheel which had been closed down recently will not resume commercial operations for at least another week, nd is set to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its management is currently investigating the exact cause of the wheel’s failure, which trapped 173 people for nearly seven hours on Tuesday night. Me and family hadn't even tried it out yet! :-/

- Kinda shocking how HK veteran singer Vivian Chow and Joe Nieh kept their marital status under wraps for not one, not two, but TEN YEARS!! Chow and Nieh had actually registered their marriage ten years ago in the States. This is also speculated to be the reason why Chow has tolerated and forgiven Nieh's frivolous behavior, in salvaging the marriage. They could have at least informed the press about it much earlier... but since they're gonna hold another wedding soon, that should be ok. But that tramp-of-a-third party better not crash the second wedding!!

- Sanlu, the China company at the heart of the tainted milk global scandal, has been declared bankrupt. It will now be managed by a court-appointed receiver who will assume responsibility for an orderly sale of the company's assets and payment of creditors.

- Not sure if newly-elected Thai Prime Minister Abhisit would be capable enough to handle the political crisis that the Bangkok residents have been going through for months now, but he seemed pretty confident to me, esp after me and family had watched the CNN interview with him a few nights ago. (I do hope that the authorities do something about the Thaksin campaign...)

- The dance party at the Float within Marina Bay region had been cancelled due to poor ticket sales, but the Channel 5 countdown party there will still go as planned. Either way, I am still unable to go for it...

- And and, I know I shouldnt be doing this, but I read this quote from that jabroni's blog (I believe most of you know who), after browsing through his painfully long-winded and nonsensical entries for minutes...
Why am i talking about this in my BLOG? I can CHOOSE not to mention this in my blog but eventually i did talk about it. I know after talking about this, my image is totally gone but i couldn't care less. I am who i am, I am XXX. Yes, i am a real life living JOKER and you can find anything IMPOSSIBLE on me possible. I do whatever stuff that people cannot imagine and ridiculous. I don't care whether you like me or not, i don't really give a shit about it. I just want to live the life the way i want it to be and thats about it.
I have only this to say to that person... since you wanna continue destroying yourself and splurge all of your brother's savings or your parents' hard-earned cash for your own desires and luxuries, YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL BURN IN HELL. You better not let me and the others see your grotesque face at Compass Point this Saturday. And yes, I do agree that you are a real-life living JOKER... only problem is, you're nowhere as sadistic or ruthless as Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger or even Mark Hamill!!!

- Still in the topic of hated personas, remember the other time I mentioned that I am not gonna create any wrestler based off MKP, Alvin or that Jacky Cheung fanatic (aka Mr Hao Lian) in the WWE SvR 2009 game (PSP)? Well guess what, I am staying true to my word and I have found another way to 'convert' my negative feelings into something good... by simply creating new heel wrestlers based off that despicable father-and-son duo Charlie and Robert Zhang in "Little Nyonya"... hahaha!! :-D

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Happy Birthday to Celest Chong, Michael Ho and Kalyn Ho
Merry Christmas 2008


The time of the year has come... this year comes off a bit different for me personally.

Firstly, there was no Christmas gathering for the first time in many years (as stated in an earlier post), but that's alright really. At least I got to find time to watch the first disc for "The Twisted, Disturbing Life of KANE", and watch "Little Nyonya" and WWE Raw as usual. Oh,and did I forget to mention that while I was at VivoCity yesterday afternoon, I saw Julian Hee and Michelle Tay acting at the 3rd level? Seems like they are indeed filming for the 2nd season of "A Perfect Cut"... :-)

Earlier today, I had to wake up early to go for briefing for Christmas service... me and another AV member basically took control of the portable video camera for both English/Peranakan and English/Chinese services. There was still a bit of space for the 1st service, but 2nd service got fully booked! Got the same xiao mei meis in Silver Boxes, and the same 3 xiao mei meis plus preteen boy as harpers. I held the videocam at various angles til my wrists started aching, as did my ankles. We were all dismissed at abt 1230 hrs at the conclusion of the 2nd service, and I couldnt resist pouting my lips upon seeing a very pretty and cute girl among the AV team (blushes). I went to good ol' Compass Point to have lunch there as well as re-familiarize with the place (I think the last time I went there was about a year ago, I could be wrong). Then headed back home to slack and have dinner, and watch a bit of TV as well.

And lastly, I don't need to work on Christmas Day at all, haha!! Remember, I currently work at Bugis, not Shaw House...

There's a post-Christmas party that myself and friends are gonna attend tomorrow, and this one will be at Suntec City... yes, I will be going for the first part of the final series of Carlsberg roadshows to see Fiona, Mich Chia and Allan Wu! ;-)
