Chesty Nutty Bang Bang... crude and hilarious!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Dave Finlay and Justin Timberlake

Last nite, me and Feimao went to watch "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang"... but before we reached National Library, we saw a Mediacorp bus and van outside Hotel Intercontinental. Must be some press conference going on there... could it be for the upcoming drama titled "Beautiful Scent", starring Pan Lingling, Zheng Geping and Dawn Yeoh? Definitely not some filming scene, since that will require a lot of money in such a huge and luxorious hotel such as Hotel Intercontinental (wonder if it houses the records of former Intercontinental Champions in the WWE? Haha, just kidding!!). Whatever it is, we'll never know, cos we had to rush to National Library, and the buses would have already left by the time we got up to the 3rd level of the library.


Pictures of the super-tall and magnificent National Library!! Once we got in, we were told that all those who booked tickets for the 3rd level will have upgraded seats at the 2nd level (mostly bcos there were plenty of empty seats)... meaning we will have a better view of the play!! :-D


Non-stop laughter all the way!! There wera many freaking hilarious bits like Joakim emulating Hady Mirza after his Asian Idol win, the NOOKIA ringtone orchestra, the recurring Ribena commercials throughout the show, the Pondan Getaway show (arghhh, Joakim dressed as a Thai lady-boy!!), an Autobot taking the form ... too many to mention!! I couldnt stop laughing the moment I found out who played Lily Chan in "High School Beauty World"... Jonathan Lim!! :-O And even though I didnt really get much of "Hairspray Potter", I still enjoyed it nevertheless. Now my only complaint is on the 251 educational skit, as well as most part of the "88251"... too much reference on Annabelle Chong's record on f'ing 251 men within 10 hours, and wif Yeo Yann Yann playing the infamous Annabelle?? I think a lot of Yuwu fans are really gonna hate Rodney Olivero for poking fun at Yuwu's mute boy role in the film, esp wif those crude cock jokes. The Hokkien translation for Rihanna's hit single "Umbrella" was super hilarious, I tell you!! There was even an interactive session towards the end of the show, where the cast asks us to sing along to get the show going!! After the play ended, we all clapped real loudly and cheered like mad!! Certainly no regrets watching it whatsoever!! :-D


Right after the show, we proceeded to get the booklets... something titled "The Chestnuts Guide to Phacebook" (an obvious spoof of Facebook, like duh). Me and Cherry were going down the escalators when we heard screams of joy and excitement at the Drama Theater... we quickly went up and saw 3 cast members of the play!!


First artiste I approached for autograph was the beautiful Yeo Yann Yann, better known as Da Mu Gua (Big Papaya) from the Royston Tan film 881. I kinda like her... she's the third 881 cast member I took picture wif, after Liu Ling Ling and Qi Yuwu. :-)


Next cast member is someone I know of course... Joakim!! :-p



Then I proceeded to take pic wif Jonathan Lim, the brains behind the Chestnuts plays for the past 10 years... very talented actor/director/playwright!! :-) Couldnt see Judy or Rodney or Celine Rosa Tan anywhere outside the theater, but that doesnt matter. At least I got to chat up wif Joakim once more. Soon after that, me and Cherry went out to the bus stop opposite Bugis Junction... 

Getting ready to watch a funny play...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Christian Bale, Bryan Wong and JC Ramoluete

I don't wish to talk about what happened in school... as always, I'm greatly disappointed by how some people can be so dishonest and come up with lies on 'they really did certain school assignments', when the actual truth is, they go AWOL most of the time!! Class DMD 1V may have gone for class photo taking yesterday, but is there any true team spirit within the class? The answer is NO, and I don't need to give an explanation for my answer. Even I myself feel way too du lan to tell them what to do. I shan't say anymore.


Tonight I'm gonna watch a play at National Library... it's titled "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang: Harispray of the Phoenix". It's the 11th instalment of the Chestnuts series that has taken Singapore theater by storm!! It stars the 3 main Chestnuts: Jonathan Lim (director and creator of the Chestnuts series), Rodney Olivero and Judy Ngo... guest stars for this play are Joakim Gomez and Celine Rosa Tan and Yeo Yann Yann. The show contains lots of stuff...

• Shameless movie spoofs - from 881 to Hairspray, from High School Musical 2 to Hostel, from Transformers to The Queen


• Delicious digs at local theatre shows like The Swimming Instructor, Asian Boys Volume 3, SRT’s , If There Are Seasons, the 20th anniversary of Beauty World, and others!


• Madcap parodies of TV favorites like Heroes, Asian Idol, The Search for the Next Doll, Deal or No Deal, 80s Rewind, The Arena, Foreplay and more!


• Merciless Chestnuts spin-offs of concerts by Gwen Stefani, Olivia Newton-John, The Black-Eyed Peas, Suzanne Vega and more, as well as imported shows like the RSC’s King Lear, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The King & I and Finding Nemo On Ice!

Hmmm, I decided to dedicate this song to Rui En, Felicia, Fiona and those who like Westlife. Ah heck, anyone in general! I just can't get enough of song dedication!! :-p


"CATCH MY BREATH" by Westlife

We were still in high school when I first met you
Even then you were the prettiest girl that I ever knew
And we carved our name on everything that we could find
The way that all kids do

And although time has passed I still get surprised
At the pulling in my chest when I know you're coming by
If this feeling's proving anything, it's not everything
Is gonna change with time, you're still mine

Chorus
Did you know when you're around
My heart won't, it can't slow down
It beats so hard, it makes it hard
To catch my breath, to catch my breath

Don't ever ask me if I'm sorry or that I'm here with you
Baby you can bet I don't regret the girls I never knew
Every day's another first, another change for me
To fall in love with you, and I do

Did you know when you're around
My heart won't, it can't slow down
It beats so hard, it makes it hard
To catch my breath, to catch my breath

Oh.. when you're with me I stop seeing
Any way to fail, how do I explain
I try to tell you what I'm feeling
But how do I, when all words pale

(Repeat twice)
Did you know when you're around
My heart won't, it can't slow down
It beats so hard, it makes it hard
To catch my breath, to catch my breath

To catch my breath, to catch my breath
To catch my breath, to catch my breath

Final decision, and dedication to Miss RE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Hardcore Holly, Rui En and Patrick Ma

My mind is made up already. My last day of work there will indeed be a few days right after Chinese New Year. I have already submitted my resignation letter, and I'm not gonna make any more unnecessary delay. I don't see any point going through any more needless psychological torture. So not fully worth the 2 years of work there, even if got flexible schedule. About time I concentrate fully in my studies and pursue my own destiny, whatever that means. And get spiritaul healing as well.

Marcus, Kailin, Kaileng and Joyce, I know you all saw me on Sunday night, I saw you too, dining at the restaurant just opposite... but do you have any idea how tiring and stressful it can be working for 2 years in a restaurant in the midst of Orchard Road? I'm not scolding any of you whatsoever, just wanna let you know first that I tend to get quite worked up at times when I'm busy at work. I'm not always like that, but sometimes i find it hard to handle stressful situations. Other than that, I am quite a calm person in nature, though I can display some unpredictability like get mood swings at times (yes, even to the extent of going 'emo'). I hope you understand.

Right now I'm gonna dedicate this song to Miss Kindness aka Rui En... long to see her once again. I know I got a huge list of songs to choose from, but I purposely chose this for her. Though I must admit, I feel the urge to dedicate yet one more song very soon... :-p

IT'S YOU- Westlife

There's a laugh in my eyes

There's a waltz in my walk

And it's been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that's new... it's you

'Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it's burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it's something new, baby it's you

It's you in the morning, it's you in the night

A beautiful angel came down to light up my life

The world's a different place

Where nothing's too hard to say

And nothing's to hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that's new, baby it's you

It's you in the morning, it's you in the night

A beautiful angel came down to light up my life

My life, my life, ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There's only one thing I want (aahh aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are, for everything you do

For all that you've done, just for showing me the truth

It's you... it's you

Baby it's you

Felicia Chen Jin Xuan??? NOOOOOO....!!!!

I seriously cannot accept the fact that Felicia is going to change her Chinese name... I mean, Feng Ling is synonymous to Fel. I guess most of you people out there who like Fel as much as I do will agree with me on that. And now i read this piece of news that come 6th February, you're going to change your Chinese name to Chen Jing Xuan??? (no wonder Jay Chou looked so gloomy on the cover of the i-weekly bumper issue... then again, he always looked like that). The moment I finished reading, I felt as if my heart had suddenly been pierced by a poisoned arrow, or as if a cannonball had come hitting me square on the chest. It was too hard a blow to take. You know that myself and the other 'Pandas' will continue to support you no matter what, but all I wanna say is... PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT!!! FENG LING IS MANY TIMES BETTER THAN JING XUAN!!! Somehow I wonder if the name change would affect her popularity... and whether it may affect her chances for the Top 10 list in this year's Star Awards Can you imagine Fel saying "Hi, wo shi Chen Jing Xuan" in a tv commercial from next week onwards? :-(

On the other hand... my blood started to boil after I read from some forbidden site that SOMEONE claimed to 'know the reason' why Fel wanted to change her Chinese name, and that 'she told him'. Absolute bullshit!!!

Just now when i happen to go to my house nearby to buy magazine,i pass by the coffee shop and and i saw u,XXX and YYY filming there.When u saw me,u are so surprise and say hi to me,after that u continue filming.I don't know why when i am not working but i see you outside filming,i have the urge to chase you.When i work and see u around,i really don't have any urge to chase you.All the while filming just now,u are not cheerful at all,when u have ur break,you just use ur phone.I didn't want to bother you so much,so i maintain a distance from you.
YOU ARE DOWNRIGHT OBSESSED AND SICK, DO YOU F'ING KNOW THAT!!! YOU ALREADY GOT YOUR 'GIRLFRIEND' TO CHASE AFTER, AND YOU STILL WANNA BLURB NONSENSE ON 'HAVING THE URGE TO CHASE FEL'!!! WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE POOR FEL ALONE AND STALK YOUR 'GIRLFRIEND' INSTEAD!!! AND WHY HAVE YOU NOT TALKED ABOUT YOUR O LEVEL RESULTS AT ALL??? LEMME GUESS, YOU DID VERY BADLY IS IT!!! SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR BEING TOO OVER-CONFIDENT AND BOASTFUL!!! ORBIGOOD!!!

"I believe something serious must be troubling you,i ask u why do u have to change ur name,u told me the reason.Now i know this is the thing that is troubling you.Haiz,felicia i really hope that u can go back to ur last time that always smile non-stop character.Seeing u like this really make me feel sad."
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!! DON'T TRY TO ACT INNOCENT OK!!! Seeing AND knowing how desperate you are over her feels us Pandas feel even sadder for poor Fel!!! I doubt Fel would even tell you the reason lor, you're not a close friend of hers!!! Some insane fans really need to take a look at themselves in front of billions of mirrors!!! I dare say that even Dennis Chew has better hair than you!!! I reckon that your disgusting thick-haired scalp is infested with lice!!! The more I see your mug in your photos, the more I wanna shave your head and make you look as bald as people like Stone Cold Steve Austin or Bobby Lashley or Kane!! Please shut the hell up and go get yourself a life, you fucktard!! Oh wait, I just realised... you have NO life!!! >:-@

And in the latest wrestling news... I was horrified to learn that...
This person won the 2008 WWE Royal Rumble?!?! NOOOOOOO...!!!!! :-O

Random thoughts on preview, demise of a head figure and name changing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Hady Mirza, Nick Carter, Eric Png and Tan Eng Soon

Yesterday afternoon I went to Orchard Cineleisure to watch some preview screening for the telemovie titled "Heng or Huat"... quite worth the watch I must say. I can't provide much spoilers, but I can surely say that there is a morale to the story... we haf to rely on our own willpower to get good luck, not on stuff like gambling or taking up bets. Nat Ho had plenty of screentime in this show, since he plays the young son of a compulsive gamble played by Maggie Teng. Lin You Yi looks really chioh as a girl who just broke up wif her boyfriend and went steady wif Nat. Shawn Tok did quite ok as a heavenly messenger assigned to improve the lives of mother and son... he doesnt overact at all, his acting is quite natural. Lin Xiao and Belinda Lee also showed good comic timing, and stellar acting from Samuel Chong and Wang Yuqing. I rate the film 4 out of 5 stars... can't wait to see the cast at PS this coming Sat ;-)

Yesterday at abt 1.30 pm, former Indonesian President Suharto had left the living world at the age of 86, less than a week after Heath Ledger's sudden passing. Suharto's demise was expected, he had been battling for his life for more than a year (thru multiple organ failure and cardiac arrest). Without him, Indonesia wouldnt be a stable nation as it is today (although it got corrupted midway thru Suharto's reign). Hopefully, the citizens of Indonesia can let go of their hatred and learn to forgive Suharto for the many sins he had committed during his run as president from the 1970s to 1998. May he rest in peace.

And I just read some startling news in the latest issue of i-weekly... in the style of Darth Vader revealing to Luke Skywalker the truth about his father in Bespin in Star Wars: the Empire Strickes Back.

'Darth i-weekly': Come 6th February, Felicia Chin will be Chen Feng Ling no more... from next week onwards, she will be known as Chen Jing Xuan!!

Me: What?!? Chen Jing Xuan??? :-O NOOOO... that's not true!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

'Darth i-weekly': Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Me: NOOOOO.... NOOOOOOO!!!!!! :,,,,-(


Why the name change, Fel??? Feng Ling suits you more!!! I cant believe this is happening... seems like there is nothing anyone can do about it. :-(

Crazy weekend part 3: SHENG JING PO!!!

Last event I attended for Saturday was the one that was a MUST-GO for all fans and supporters of Felicia. Well not really all of them, cos only a handful were able to make it. Those in attendance other than myself were Joey, Hoetian, Syazali, Rachel, Liting, Ice, Delphine, Vincent, Kendrick, Andrew and many more. I was relieved not to see Mr Kiam Pa anywhere at Expo, but kinda shocked to see his 'girlfriend' there instead. Oh well she doesnt pose a major threat, so no big f'ing deal. Anyway, Kendrick was lucky enough to have won a mini-fridge as the last prize for the Great Eastern Life number-guessing segment!!!


Fel finally got on stage at 1850 hrs... and we all shouted out, "SHENG JING PO!!!". Fel looked way too mature, but still as beautiful as ever. She sang "My Star", then was involved in some game wif 4 young adults. After which she was escorted to the front door... me, Rachel, Liting and Source shared a cab to Radiogate. I realised that I had lost my i-weekly issue wif Fel on cover??? NOOOOOO!!!!! How can it be?!? I thought I put it in my bag?!?! I went emo for a while... but then thinking abt it, lucky it's only an i-weekly issue. If it were the Careers issue I had lost, I will surely cry like mad!! :-( Later i got an sms from Kendrick stating that he had actually found my magazine and kept it for me!! WHOOPEE!!! Thanks so much, Kendrick... I owe you one!! :-D
After a long wait at RG wif a few more Fel fans, Fel arrived at abt 2055 hrs, but she didnt get off her car, cos she needed to go for rehearsals for the upcoming CNY show.


Right after Fel drove in, came... NAT??? :-O Super surprised to see him right before seeing him at PS on Saturday.


Right after he went inside, another surprise... JESSECA!!!! :-D I very happy, got to get her autograph on 2 photos I took wif her, and I even got to compliment her for her sweet voice in the CNY song. I know Source is even happier than i am... nearly wanted to tell Jess that Syaz likes her a lot! :-p And yes, after Jess went inside, I did the Shawn Michaels entrance pose... close my eyes, kneel down on the ground, raise my arms high up in the air, and start thanking God!! Pity there's no fireworks... bah!!

Right after that, the few of us walked to the bus stop opposite MCS... then as i was abt to board Bus 74, someone grabbed me... I turned around and was shocked to see...

NEW YIQING?!?! :-O Ai-yai-yai, what happened to his hair?!?! Nevertheless, it was great seeing him again... :-)

Crazy weekend part 2: CNY roadshow at Causeway Point

Right after the show at Expo, I took a train to Woodlands... the journey took an hour, and I reached Causeway Point at exactly 1 pm!! But I did not go straight to the foyer... instead, I went to haf a quick lunch at Pastamania first, before going for the stage region. Quite a lot of people xiah, but least not as fully packed as the other time the TVB artistes made an appearance there (according to Melvin who went there). The only people I could recognise within the first level were Hoetian, Joey, Karlyn and Pamela.

And to my horror, I saw that fugly Hutt Alvin again!! (well Hutts are really fugly aren't they?) Who exactly is he supporting, I wonder?? Damnit lah, he f'ing annoying lor... make noise all the time and show peace signs everytime the camera is aimed towards his face. Camera whore... wait I kick him in the balls (if he has any!!) and then proceed to give him a dose of Sweet Chin Music!! He should never have come... disgusting piece of shit!! >:-@


"The Rice House" (Wo men de fan dian)

Aileen Tan (a regular customer in my soon-to-be-fromer workplace) looking great, Michelle Chong aka Adrianna Wow still as perky as ever, Thomas Ong aka Hu Xicun/Judge Ironfist looking rather shabby, Sugianto in his fist drama stint, and veteran Chen Guohua (last seen as Uncle Ming in "Metamorphosis"). The drama will debut on 4th February, every Monday at 8 pm.

"Taste Of Love" (Yuan zi hui)

Cast members who showed up were Ye Shipin, Jin Yini, Jacqueline Sue, Wu Luoyi, Joey Swee (who was also emcee for the day) and May Phua. No Dawn unfortunately. May was a last minute addition cos she had plenty of free time. Jin Yinji mentioned MC King at one point, stating that this show had brought everyone closer together, esp after Mc King's tragic passing. Jackie's appearance was probably enough to make up for Dawn's MIA. In fact, the busty babe herself sounds too much like Dawn with that squeaky voice of hers!! Oh, and one of the contestants who went on stage (a teenage gal in red jacket and blue shorts, not pictured) looked rather hot, I nearly turned into Venom!!!


Chen Meixin performing. I dunno why, but she kinda reminds me of Wendy... the golden-haired babe who went up on stage for a game had a slightly hotter waist (she got legs too).

"Kinship 2" (Shou Zu II)

Many were very surprised to see Eelyn and Carrie there!! I was very happy when I saw big-eyed Eelyn... she waved to me, hurray!!! Besides these two, there was also Jesseca (a lot of cheers), Ann Kok (better hairstyle now), Hong Hui Fang (figure quite power!), Chen Tianwen (wearing orange much like Hasayan), Yao Wenlong (now wif hair!!), Bryan Wang (the weakest link as Qian Duoduo, wif acting as stilted as ever) and emcee Brandon Wong (as the cunning and manipulative Martin).

After the Kinship 2 cast left, me and Joey headed off to Expo by train!!
