Fifth recording for "U Are The One" (a shocker!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Shawn Daivari, Jianhua, Dorothy and Jennifer

Originally, this post was supposed to be posted on Tuesday night, but due to the traumatic incident that had transpired on Monday night, I had to delay it to today instead... so here goes:

Work as usual from 8 am to 5 pmon Monday, then I took a bus to Mediacorp... I was earliest to reach. Eric came at 10 minutes later, followed by Syazali. We then headed into the theater, doing different things... Syaz was reading comics, I was playing on the PSP, and Eric was taking a short nap (as always!! Haiz).


First dose of surprise was seeing Karlyn and Pamela among the 50 gals panel. The second dose of surprise was... FELICIA AS THE GUEST JUDGE??? :-O


The show then started, and my eyes popped out as the skinny Georgia Lee came out in a pink top and red micro-shorts that showed her slender legs (Venom alert!!). Addy Lee still looked gay in white vest and black jeans. Only Eunice and Fel were the more attractive ones (for obvious reasons!).

This was what the 8 guys did for the Sunshine Guy genre... again I snapped pics in secret, but this time only on Zhenhuan and Louis. I can't risk getting my camphone confiscated.

M1 Jianfeng- playing on the bongos
M2 Zhenhuan- dancing to the salsa with a hot chick (same girl who danced with Gavriil the week before)
M3 Caleb- dancing to hip-hip... moonwalk looks rather cool, but overall quite stiff
M4 Jiaxi- doing martial arts
M5 Clement- singing some gayish teenybooper-like song
M6 Louis- the most unique item of all, dressed up as an Indian and doing an Indian dance!! I couldnt stop laughing at all... Fiona laughed so hard, she literally rolled on the ground!!! :-D
M7 Icaru- playing a guitar and singing a song similar to Ah Gu's
M8 Gavriil- playing on some trach cans with a street gang

Now here comes the twist... Louis dominated all 3 rounds for the show with the highest score via bar chart diagram, to be closely followed by Icaru. Yet when the results were announced, the winner of Sunshine Boy genre went to... ICARU YUAN SHUAI??? WHAT?!?! Where is the justice?!?! :-O I seriously think that Louis should win LOR!! I was just as shocked and bewildered as Louis' fanclub members. VOTING SYSTEM TOTALLY KELONG!!! LOUIS WAS ROBBED!!!! :-((((


Anyway after the show ended, me along wif Source and Eric went to the reception, where we saw a long queue of girls about to change pass. And one of them is Georgia (who looks smoking HAWT in micro-shorts despite her waif-thin frame and middle age)... I managed to take picture with her (while the flamboyant Addy walked past). No sign of Eunice again... I couldnt even find Averil, Regine or Nicole anywhere :-(

Soon after Georgia left, I got a call from one of the Fel fans saying that Fel is at Radiogate... and then the stupid thing happened (see earlier post). So much for my big ego and infatuation... I hate myself for hurting Fel unintentionally. I dumped water on my head on the way back to the reception and immersed myself in a few rounds of Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron via PSP... but then I lost the mood to play anymore, mostly cos I feel tempted to buy another PSP game soon (watch out for it). Eric had already left the place by then. Andrea Fonseka did come out from the reception at around 10 pm, but she didnt want to take picture with us due to lack of makeup. But I really think that Andrea still looks beautiful even without makeup... I felt a little hurt by her refusal, but I understood her reasons for doing so... :-/


Fiona came out from reception (hurray!!) at 2230 hrs to collect something, then me and Source went chatting with her and snapping pics.

And that ugly, stinking piece of slime Lei Jun kept asking Fiona to take picture with him not once or twice, but ABOUT SEVEN TIMES!!! Lei Jun, lemme tell you something... those few pics you took wif the lovely and voluptous princess aren't gonna change the fact that you are an obsessive and annoying moron with an expressionless, pimpled face and strong body odour!!! And can you stop wearing that stupid John Cena shirt??? You're embarrassing the Chain Gang Soldier already!!! :-@

I promise to be strong and move on

Somebody’s gonna get-ta hurt real bad… but it certainly isn’t me.

Thank you all so much for your concern… those dear friends (mostly from that actress’ fanclub of course) who posted words of comfort in my blog entry or in the new MDC forums... I’m feeling a little better now, though not totally. Although I have been reassured by the fact that she had forgiven me over that misunderstanding (as stated in her latest blog entry), I feel I need to do one more thing to put a definite closure to this painful episode (the burden of hurting a celebrity unintentionally).

As for the ‘emotional trauma’ phase, I need more time to get over it and mend my wounded heart… I’ve been though worse times than this (who doesn't?), esp. during primary to secondary school when I was ostracized mercilessly by some classmates due to my race. I’ve made stupid mistakes in the past, we all do. At one time I nearly cost someone his job due to some stupid rumor I posted. Usually it would take me a rather long time to get over the episode (depending on the severity of the deed)… shortest time took 2 weeks, longest time took more than 3 years (really). But I shan’t dwell too much on this, for those individuals have forgiven me already and moved on.

But as a friend told me via SMS earlier today, it’s not good at all to bear the burden within myself for too long, for it will be bad for my health. So yeah, don’t worry too much about me ya? Rest assured I would NEVER do anything stupid because of this incident… once again, I wanna thank you all so very much for your concern and understanding I promise you and that actress that I will be strong and move on with life and not make the same mistake again. And that I will be more caring and considerate to her as well as other artistes. :-)

And in case there is anyone who is doubting the authenticity of the previous post (cos I know there will be some unreasonable soul out there who won’t believe me anyway), all I can say is that it is 100% real, not made up at all. I'm not trying to gain sympathy votes, I just want all of you to understand that I am not a nasty person or a backstabber, I’m just a shy geek who doesn't talk much and finds it hard to express his true feelings to others at times.

And I also have something to say to that unworthy Joanne Peh fan!!! The one who had been up to no good by impersonating me and putting up lewd comments in other people’s tagboards for nearly 2 weeks, please stop this nonsense already, for I am already feeling miserable enough after what I did on Monday. But if you insist on continuing your dirty deeds, then be ready for a big treat cos myself and a few friends have already reported the matter to the police. Sooner or later, the cops will find out your true identity and place an arrest warrant on you for online violation… by that time, SOMEBODY’S GONNA GET-TA HURT REAL BAD!!! I’m not gonna say who that somebody is, but you know that somebody very well… in due time we shall see who has the last laugh (gives out an evil smirk). You alone are responsible for your own actions!!!

Datafile on Ultimate Nick Fury

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mother dearest, Kian Egan, Eric and Kirsten Dunst

The last person in the Iron Man series is the Ultimate version of Nick Fury, to be played by veteran actor Samuel L Jackson in the upcoming Iron Man film :-)

General Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Fury is a fictional military officer, Gulf War veteran and spy, featured in Marvel Comics.
Ultimate Nick Fury is a reinterpretation of the classic Marvel character Nick Fury. A notable difference between the two is the fact that Classic Fury is Caucasian with brown hair, while Ultimate Fury is African-American and bald, and was in fact specifically tailored after actor Samuel L. Jackson with his permission. While his eyepatch is generally worn over his left eye (consistent with his mainstream Marvel counterpart), it has occasionally switched to his right in some comics.
Fury has a heavy presence in all the Ultimates books, appearing first in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up and Ultimate X-Men and later reappearing regularly in Ultimate Spider-Man and finally securing a regular, recurring role as the General of S.H.I.E.L.D. (short for Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate) and the leader of The Ultimates, a re-imagining of the Avengers.

Technologies

Fury has no trace of the Infinity Formula or other enhancements that the regular continuity's Fury has claimed. He is an exceptional combatant and strategist and a gifted field leader. He operates with technology years ahead of traditional forces, including the latest experimental weaponry, and some form of projected invisibility and the ability to walk through solid matter. These powers have very limited windows due to massive expense for any moment of 'uptime;' costs for these literally burn millions of dollars per microsecond. He once used a chewing gum that was programmed to explode after 200 chews. Fury is constantly monitored and shadowed by dozens of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and all observation technology known - and a few that are not.

Datafile on Iron Monger (Obadiah Stane)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jessica Alba, Averil and Esther

Next character I would talk about is the main villain of the film, Obadiah Stane aka Iron Monger.

The Iron Monger is an identity used by several fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe, most of whom have been supervillains. The first and most notable person to use that identity was billionaire industrialist Obadiah Stane, who used the Iron Monger armor in the climax of a long-running conflict with his nemesis, Iron Man. Stane first appeared in Iron Man #163, and first appeared as the Iron Monger in Iron Man #200. Four-time Academy-Award nominated actor Jeff Bridges will portray him in the upcoming 2008 film Iron Man.

Early years

Obadiah Stane was a ruthless individual who studied his adversaries to find weaknesses that he could exploit. Ever since he was a child, Stane enjoyed chess, and handled his life with the same kind of methodical logic that he used in the game. In addition, he was a strong believer in using psychological manipulation to his advantage. For instance, in a childhood chess match against another boy whose skill at least equaled his own, he killed the boy's dog so that his mind wasn't on the game. He won easily, and he continued to use similar forms of manipulation through his life. As a child he saw his father Zebediah, a degenerate gambler who at that time was on a "lucky streak", accidentally shoot himself in the head playing a game of Russian roulette. This event shaped Obadiah Stane for years to come.

Hostile takeover
In adulthood, as a wealthy financier, Obadiah Stane became the president and CEO of Stane International, as a munitions dealer. Stane turned his sights on acquiring Stark International, the industrial corporation owned by Tony Stark (Iron Man). Stane had his agents, the Chessmen, attack Stark Industries and assault Stark's confidant, James Rhodes. He also confronted Tony Stark in person. Stane also set up Indries Moomji as Stark's lover without Stark knowing that Moomji was actually the Chessmen's Queen. While all of this was occurring, Stane and his associates conspired to lock Stark International out of various business deals. Stark eventually learned that Stane was the mastermind behind these attacks, but was unable to confront him. The assaults on Stark, his business, and his friend pushed Stark to the edge, and when Stark was scorned by Stane and then spurned by Moomji, he catastrophically relapsed into alcoholism. With the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., Stane succeeded in buying out Stark International, which he then renamed to Stane International. Stark, having fallen off the wagon, relinquished his armor to Jim Rhodes and disappeared to be a homeless vagrant. Rhodes became the new Iron Man while ignoring Stane's demands to relinquish the armor. Stane was thwarted by Rhodes, as the new Iron Man, in his attempt to take over the Iron Man battle-suits.
Stane proceeded in manufacturing and supplying munitions and weapons to S.H.I.E.L.D. and others who could pay for them. But, when Tony Stark left, he left behind notes and information on the Iron Man armor. These notes were far from complete and without Stark's mind, they were hard to analyze, but Stane assigned a team of scientists to these notes and working from this, they created the Iron Monger armor which, according to Stane, was "far superior to Stark's Iron Man armor". He even thought of either selling them to the highest bidder or creating an army of them and using them to "take over any country he wanted". He said that this last idea was particularly interesting.

Powers and abilities

The Iron Monger armor, manufactured by Stane International and code-named I-M Mark One, is an armored battle-suit of "omnium steel" (a fictional alloy), containing various offensive weaponry including a powered exoskeleton that amplified the user's strength, repulsor rays fired from the gauntlets, and an intense laser beam housed in the battle-suit's chest unit. The suit provides the user with the ability of subsonic flight, thanks to magnetically powered turbine boot jets. Since the Iron Monger armor was based on a modified version of Tony Stark's Iron Man design, the armor's abilities are very similar to the original red and gold armor, but with increased power. The repulsors were more powerful and the armor was also larger than the armor of Iron Man. It was presumably proportionally stronger as well. The armor was also partially computer controlled, a vulnerability Stark immediately exploited to disable the suit.
Stane also used the Circuits Breaker, a flying robotic weapon that fires air-to-surface missiles. He also used a device created by Dr. Theron Atlanta for exchanging the consciousness of two human subjects.
Obadiah Stane was a genius, with an M.B.A. He was a master of psychological warfare, a cunning business strategist, and a champion chess player. However, he suffered from a psychological instability which eventually led to his suicide, as he was unable to ever accept defeat as it would give his enemies the satisfaction of enjoying his humiliation.

Already 2 months!!

It's been 2 months since Mas Selamat's escape, and more people are getting frustrated. Where in the world is he??? This is really sickening... I seriously think Wong Kan Seng should be forced to resign, and that the personnel in Whitley detention center (the ones responsible for letting MS escape) get sacked!!! Singapore's Biggest CBK better be caught asap... :-(

Datafile on War Machine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Terry, Fitree and Adward

Next up in the Iron Man datafiles is James Rupert Rhodes, also known as the the War Machine. :-)

War Machine (James Rupert Rhodes) is a fictional character, a superhero in Marvel Comics' shared universe, the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Iron Man #118 (January 1979), and was created by David Michelinie and Bob Layton.
War Machine's abilities come from an advanced suit of armor, designed using technology from Stark Industries, and later from an alien-built suit. He is well known as the best friend of Tony Stark, whose Iron Man armor Rhodes has worn on several occasions.

Origins

James Rupert Rhodes was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He first meets billionaire industrialist Tony Stark while flying combat missions in Vietnam. Rhodes' helicopter is shot down by Viet Cong rocket fire, and while trying to get the aircraft airborne again, he encounters Stark, who has just escaped from the prison camp of the Vietnamese warlord Wong Chu in a bulky prototype suit of powered armor. At that moment the Viet Cong attack, and Stark, in his suit, helps to drive them off. Together, Rhodes and Stark make their way to a nearby enemy base where they steal another helicopter, flying it back to the American lines.
After the end of the Vietnam War, Stark, who had secretly become the superhero named Iron Man, offered Rhodes a job as his personal pilot, and Rhodes soon became one of Stark's closest associates and confidants as well as Stark Industries' chief aviation officer. As a result, he had numerous adventures with his employer where his daring and skills were valuable assets.
When Stark lost his company to Obadiah Stane and relapsed into alcoholism, Rhodes took over the armor and role of Iron Man in Stark's stead, even fighting alongside Stark's colleagues in the Avengers during the Secret Wars. However, he began to experience headaches while using the armor, and over time, his behavior began to grow more erratic and aggressive, prone to violent solutions to given problems. Rhodes' manic mental state was later revealed to be the result of his using armors whose cerebral interfaces were calibrated for Stark's brain, leaving any other long-term user disoriented and confused. When Stark was on the road to recovery, he helped Rhodes maintain the armor, but Rhodes became increasingly paranoid, believing that Stark meant to retake the armor.
Rhodes went on a rampage, and Stark was forced to don a crude, prototype suit of armor much like his original suit to stop him. Rhodes came to his senses and the two fought together for a time until Rhodes was injured by Stane and Stark took the new armor. In the aftermath of Stane's suicide and Stark rebuilding his company, the two men worked together on many occasions, Rhodes even risking his life and his career to aid Stark during the Armor Wars, when Iron Man discovered that his technology had been stolen by the Spymaster and sold to various armoured villains.

War Machine Career

Stark also subsequently designed a heavier-armed version of the Iron Man suit, the "Variable Threat Response Battle Suit" to battle the Masters of Silence, and it became known as the War Machine armor. Rhodes used the War Machine armor as Iron Man when Stark faked his own death while recovering from a life-threatening illness. When the ruse was revealed, it damaged the friendship between the two men, and they went their separate ways.
Rhodes, however, continued to use the War Machine armor in a solo superhero career, and it eventually was replaced by a symbiotic alien suit, known as the Eidolon Warwear. When Stark died during a battle with Kang the Conqueror (And the younger alternate Tony Stark brought in to replace him vanished during the fight with Onslaught), Rhodes rejoined Stark Enterprises (which was bought by Fujikawa Industries) to protect his old friend's legacy. To prevent Stark's armor technology from being misused, he used the abilities of his alien armor to erase all trace of Stark's designs from the Fujikawa systems, but the armor was destroyed in the process. Rhodes gave up his superhero career and started his own salvage company.

The War Machine Armor consists of:

• Repulsors: Laser-guided particle beam emission units mounted in the palm of each hand.
• Unibeam: Multi-band light and force beam emitter. Can be adjusted for a variety of effects such as search light, heat beams, tractor beam, lasers, image inducers, ultraviolet light, and electromagnetic pulse. While not present in the original model, it was added for Rhodes.
• Pulse Bolt Generators: Plasma discharges that build in intensity as they travel through the atmosphere, picking up static and ambient energy.
• Force Shield: A focused photon emitter on the back of his left wrist that shapes into a shield.
• Gatling Gun: Shoulder-mounted and using an electronic firing system. This is a state of the art gatling machine gun firing caseless ammunition. It can be loaded with a wide array of various bullet types including stun and armor-piercing. Default loadout is 1800 rounds of Depleted uranium bullets.
• Double-barreled cannon. Wrist-mounted, fires various ammo types. Ammo is user-selectable and is fed from belt circling the upper wrist.
• Flamethrower. Uses napalm gas. Effective at all types of combat.
• Plasma Blade that emits from either wrist.
• Micro-Rocket Launcher. Holds a variety of up to eight rockets, including High Explosive, Concussion, Smoke, Flare, and Sub-Nuke.
• Particle Beam Discharger.
• Forcefield-based stealth technology (to which Rhodes referred as the "Romulan Cloaking Device")
• Self-contained breathing system.
• Granted the wearer high levels of superhuman strength and durability.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kane (the wrestler of course!), Affendi (the LTD solo winner) and Azhar 'Revelina'

Ok, to get started off, the first person I will talk about is IRON MAN!!!

Iron Man (Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark) is a fictional comic book superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee, writer Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963). Tony Stark, after being gravely injured and forced to build a devastating weapon, instead created a suit of power armor to save his life and help protect the world as Iron Man. He is a wealthy industrialist and genius inventor whose suit of armor is laden with technological devices that enable him to fight crime.

Origins

Anthony 'Tony' Stark was born on Long Island, New York, the son of Howard Stark, a wealthy industrialist and head of Stark Industries, and Maria Stark. Tony is a boy genius, entering MIT at the age of 15, and graduating at the top of his class. After his parents' accidental deaths in a car crash, he inherits his father's company.
While observing the effects of his experimental technologies on the American war effort, Stark is injured by a booby trap and captured by the enemies, who then orders him to design weapons for them. However, Stark's injuries are dire and shrapnel in his chest threatens to pierce his heart. His fellow prisoner, Yin Sen, helps Stark use the workshop to secretly design and construct a suit of powered armor that saves Stark's life by keeping his heart beating. Stark uses the armor to escape, although Yin Sen dies during the attempt. Stark takes revenge on his kidnappers, then heads back to rejoin the American forces. Along the way he meets a wounded American Air Force helicopter pilot, James "Rhodey" Rhodes.

Back home, Stark discovers the shrapnel lodged in his chest cannot be removed without killing him, and he is thus forced to wear the armor's chestplate beneath his clothes to act as a regulator for his heart. He must also recharge the chestplate every day or else risk the shrapnel killing him. The cover for Iron Man is that he is Stark's bodyguard and corporate mascot. To that end, Iron Man fights threats to his company, Communist opponents such as the Black Widow, the Crimson Dynamo and the Titanium Man as well as independent villains like the Mandarin. No one suspects Stark of being Iron Man as he cultivates an image as a rich playboy and industrialist. Two notable members of Stark's supporting cast at this point are his personal chauffeur Harold "Happy" Hogan and secretary Virginia "Pepper" Potts, to both of whom he eventually reveals his dual identity. Meanwhile, Jim Rhodes would find his own niche as Stark's personal pilot of extraordinary skill and daring.

Armor
Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. The armor is invented and, with occasional short-term exceptions, worn by Stark. Other people who have assumed the Iron Man identity include long time partner and best friend James Rhodes, close associates Harold "Happy" Hogan, Eddie March, and (briefly) Michael O'Brien.
The weapons systems of the suit have evolved over the years, but Iron Man's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the farther they have to travel; an electromagnetic pulse generator and an energy shield. Other capabilities include generation of ultra-freon, creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts and a holographic generator to create decoys.
In addition to the general-purpose model he wears, Stark has developed several specialized suits for space travel, deep-sea diving, stealth and other situations. Stark has modified suits like the "Hulkbuster" heavy armor, composed of add-ons to his so-called modular armor, designed to enhance its strength and durability to allow it to take on the Incredible Hulk. A later model designed for use against Thor is modeled on the Destroyer and uses a mystical power source. Stark also develops an electronics pack during the Armor Wars that, when attached to armors that use Stark technology, will burn out those components and render the suit useless. This pack is ineffective on later models, however.

Skills
Stark is a genius, with an advanced degree in engineering. He has shown great business acumen, regaining control of his companies after losing them multiple times, and building the holdings of his companies, increasing his personal wealth. When Stark was unable to use his armor for a period, he asked Captain America for training in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat and has become physically formidable on his own.

Intro to the profiles on Iron Man characters

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Syafiq J and Rachelle Lin aka "Rabbit"

It's about time for me to do something I haven't done for a long time... typing out data profiles on the characters of an upcoming Marvel film...

IRON MAN!! I'm so looking forward to this film... it debuts next week!! :-)

Characters on focus in the next few entries will be...

Tony Stark aka Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr

James Rhodes aka War Machine, played by Terrence Howard

Obadian Stane aka Iron Monger, played by Jeff Bridges

Nick Fury (Ultimate version), played by Samuel L Jackson

Stay tuned for the entries!! ;-)

Losing my sense of purpose as well as my sanity...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Zaan and John Cena

This is so sudden and shocking... as of earlier today, the Mediacorp website AND the forums have undergone a very drastic change... and with the forum undergoing a fresh new look, every regular forum member has to re-register again!! What is this world coming to???

Suddenly, everything in the new-look forum has been reset. Meaning that I have to start from scratch again!! DOHHHHHH....!!! :-(

Suddenly, my three and a half years of posts (including pictures and threads!!) have been wiped out from the very face of the WWW. And it wasn't easy for me to get to 5th place in the list of most frequent poster!!

Suddenly, I have lost my sense of purpose. I never saw this twist coming at all.

Suddenly, I don't think I am gonna register into the new forum. To think that it was one of the first few sites I would normally head to the moment I enter the Net...

I really don't understand... why can't Mediacorp just leave the forum as it is!!! :-((((

And as promised from the last entry, I am gonna talk about the bloody idiot who did something that is close tomaking me lose my mind...
In an earlier post, I talked about this ungrateful and unworthy Jollity fan who accused the committee of the Joanne Peh fanclub for 'cheating him/her off 15 bucks'... but then I think it's abt 2 or 3 fans who are unhappy over this. I suspect that it could be someone from Group 3 (the one that lost), but I am not ruling out a few more people from Group 2. But anyway, this person has recently made matters worse... he/she logged in to the forums (before the revamp) under a new identity (bearing MY NAME!!!) and posted in various thread telling others to be wary of XXX (one of the Joanne Peh committee members). And that same person even had the cheek to leave a message at some people's tagboards using MY NAME!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! :-O

So to the unworthy Joanne Peh fan, whoever the fuck you are, if you happen to be reading this, let me congratulate you for making this matter very very personal. Thank you soooo very much for 'helping' me reach my boiling point. You got a fucking problem with me??? As the birthday boy John Cena would say to his opponents: If you want some, then COME GET SOME!!!

Fourth recording of "U Are The One"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...

21st April- Vincent (church friend), Junming

22nd April- Michelle Chong, Jessica Tan

Work as usual from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm... then I took Bus 93 to Thomson Road... true enough, the bus journey was rather short, at about 20 minutes or so. And guess which celebrity I saw boarding the bus as I got off...

JADE SEAH??? :-O How I wished she arrived at the bus stop later... but still, it was very surprising to see her take public transport.

Anyway, I made my way to Mediacorp, had a chat with a few people, and got more birthday wishes along the way. Me got to sit with Melvin, Paul and David (name of the Super Crazy lookalike). rooting for Qiuting like mad. This time round, the sounds of the whistles were deafening compared to 2 weeks ago!! And the guest celeb judge is... HANWEI??? @_@

Anyway... this is what the girls did for the performance round, in accordance to the Sweety Pie genre...

F1 Tang Shi Qian- she played a ballerina... and for all 3 rounds, she got the highest score!!

F2 Hong Qiuting- she made animals out of balloons

F3 Ren Liang Yi- playing on the drums

F4 Germaine Chow- dancing to Cyndi Wang's song in schoolgirl attire

F5 Mable Soe- danced to a 50s song... and Addy was so mean to say that she 'danced like a gorilla'??? BOO!!!

F6 Tang Shi Ying- played with some buns, turning them into feet with the help of forks

F7 Christalle Huang- like what Jiaxi did last week, she played the role of magician.

F8 Rachelle Lin- danced around like a mechanized doll

Like the previous female contestant episode, there weren't any recognizable male within the panel of 50 male voters... but there were a lot of musclemen. No prizes for guessing who won the Miss Sweety round (see above list for answer).

After the show, I quickly headed to the reception area, but there was no sign of Eunice. :-( Only Addy and Georgina came out, and as always, the 'Paparazzi' struck again, clinging on to the waifish-thin plastic surgeon and taking pictures with her. I wisely chose to steer clear... esp when that pimpled guy with the strong BO was nearby (and this time, he brought along his brother, who is also beginning to smell as bad as him).

The gals came out at 2240 hrs, but this time round, most of them made a hasty retreat. The only ones who actually stayed a little longer were Qiuting, Germaine and Rachelle.

And yep, I acted cute with QQ again... :-p

And behind, the tall and slim QQ, the 'Paparazzi' still refuse to stop taking solo pics of poor Germaine!! What exactly is their main purpose of this?? I dont understand human behavior sometimes...

As QQ rushed out, I purposely didnt follow the others in chasing after her, for I didnt really see any point in doing so... so I stayed at the waiting foyer to join Ryan, Kaileng and many other fans in wishing Rachelle a Happy (Advanced) Birthday. Her birthday is this Thursday, and she officially turns 21 (born in the year of the Rabbit)! And err... I seriously felt like kicking myself cos I didnt even ask her for a picture with me... DOHHHH!!!! :-(((( I starting to like Rabbit too, to be honest... :-p

And even as I await next week's episode (hope to see Nicole and Regine there!!), I was deeply troubled by a certain disturbance... not by some 'skirmish' that happened after the show (nothing to do with me btw), but by the fact that some idiot is tagging at several blog tagboards under MY NAME... more info on that in next post.

Elvin at People's Park Complex

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...

Jessica Lange, Crispin Glover, Carmen Electra and... ME!!!

Start of tha Taurus sdtar... I think

Another birthday treat for myself... getting to see another of my fave hunks Elvin just before I hit 25... :-)

Firstly I went for a really booooring meeting (cue loud yawns) on video editing in the conference room of PLMC... at least the games were entertaining, to say the least. Then me and Uncle William went to take a look around Botak design company, a aplce of vast interest and lots of paper (located along Serangoon North), and had lunch at Serangoon Central, before heading for a good old haircut. I reached home at 2 pm (to find out that Mum had gone to the hairdresser's), and used the com to update blog with April 19th entry. Afterwards, I left the house and headed for Chinatown.

When I reached the place, Bee Leng was already at People's Park Complex along wif 2 more Elves. Soon afterwards, Karlyn, Pamela and 2 more gals reached the place, and Elvin reached the place rather early at 1650 hrs, soon after the band of 5 ladies finished with their Scottish music. The purpose of this event is to promote a 5-day tour to Beijing with the team from ASA Holidays agency (and Elvin wif them). We didnt really pay much attention during the lecture due to obvious reasons (wink wink), but there is also a tour to other places like Macau, Hong Kong ans so on.

Elvin then headed out to distribute flyers, his limp still rather noticeable (he is recovering from a recent knee operation). He also went to take pictures with people of all ages (including xiao didis and xiaomeimeis)... the elves included.

See, he wrote a Happy Birthday wish on my magazine, how sweet of him!! He then headed for the lift right after the event, but not before telling us to catch his upcoming show "Rhythm of Life" (Bian Zhou Qu) on 5th May. ;-)

And awwww bloody hell, I had no idea that Mr Kiam Pa actually bumped into Elvin earlier today!!! To think he would dare put his elbow on Elvin's shoulder!!! And wearing the exact same polo shirt as tha hunk some more!!! Check out this entry... http://seankohsk.blogspot.com/2008/04/last-week-i-was-inform-that-they-need.html

After that ah... I headed to the airport to have dinner with Mum and fetch Dad from the arrival halls... but not before running into 4 young stinking male baboons who were making way too much noise in the bus on the way to the airport!! Somebody lock all of them up (as well as the 2 adult female apes who followed them) and send them to Mandai Zoo asap!!!
