Mega Combat workout session at Suntec City

Happy Birthday to Lee Teng

After a rather confusing day at work (morning shift that is), I knocked off as per normal and took direct bus to Suntec City and had my lunch there. Seeing that I had arrived at Suntec too early, I decided to go to the convention halls to see some carnival and food fair, both of which were interlinked. Then I went to the Fountain of Wealth to meet up with Naomi, and it was there that we watched the Mega Combat event. Event started a little late at 5 pm and ended at about 6.10 pm.


Posters on the Mega Combat event.


Arrival of the new ambassadors, followed by the official launch of the event.


Pics of Andrea and Roland doing the Mega Combat with over 600 fans.


After the entire workout session ended, Andrea and Roland took picture with some fans, then headed to backstage region to clean themselves up. Roland went topless for a few seconds, taking off his blue vest and changing into a red one before going out for the announcement of the lucky draw winners.


Andrea was in a big rush, but she was kind enough to stop for a while and take individual pic with myself and Naomi :-)


It's Roland Kickinger aka the "Determinator"!! His build is quite similar to that of Batista, don't you think so? :-)


Autographed pages of FHM super-sized issue by Andrea and Roland... Andrea called me "sweet"!! Aaaawww... :-D

Another dedication to HER

Even as the days come and go, I seriously can't stop thinking about her, especially after I had shared my thoughts to a fellow colleague who ahappened to know her. Still I pray and hope that all goes well with the 3-day musuem stint she is involved in for this week.

Even as I look forward to the True Fitness event to be held at Suntec City Fountain of Wealth tomorrow afternoon (featuring the gorgeous Andrea Fonseka and the muscular Roland Kickinger!!), I have decided to pour out my inner turmoil and convert it into another BSB song, hoping that I can someday find the courage to confess my feelings to her, and perhaps rekindle the candle I held for her... I pray that my infatuation towards her doesn't degrade into an 'unhealthy obsession' or something.

INCOMPLETE- BACKSTREET BOYS

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby, it’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake...

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I won't let you go (alone...)

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete...

Info on characters in Terminator film series part 2... Skynet Defence Systems

Happy Birthday to Kylie Minogue, Mark Feehily and Tris

Here in Part 2, this entry on the Terminator film series will focus on the super-computer defence system known as Skynet as well as the various classes of Terminators/Hunter-Killers produced by it.

Skynet
In the fictional Terminator universe, Skynet is a computer software-based defense system, created by humans of the late 20th century. The initial research into Skynet's development was facilitated using the military.
Early development on Skynet was originally done by Cyberdyne Systems, based on remnants of a destroyed T-800 series Terminator sent back in time to terminate Sarah Connor before John could be born. But when the company's headquarters and primary R&D facility were destroyed in 1995, the U.S. Air Force took over the project under their newly formed Cyber Research Systems Division and started to perfect Skynet. Skynet was first built as a "Global Digital Defense Network," given command over all computerized military hardware and systems, including the B-2 Stealth Bomber fleet and America's entire nuclear weapons arsenal. The strategy behind Skynet's creation was to remove the possibility of human error and slowness of reaction time to guarantee fast, efficient response to enemy attack.
In 2004 however, Skynet became self-aware, alarming its creators at its newfound abilities. When the human operators attempted to shut down the system, Skynet defined all humans as its new enemy and decided to eliminate them to protect its existence. Many nuclear missiles in the United States under Skynet's control were then launched at their preset targets in Russia, to which Russia responded in kind by firing many of its nuclear missiles back at the United States. As a result of the nuclear exchange, over three billion humans were killed in just minutes. The few humans who survived it call this catastrophe Judgment Day... but the war against the machines had only just begun.

Humanoid Hunter-Killers, aka T-Series (Terminators)

T-600 model
The T-600 is humanoid in appearance, functioning primarily as either a soldier or an assassin in various situations. They are usually covered in a sheet of rubber skin, meant to resemble that of a human, and they stand at about 8 feet tall. However, the polluted atmosphere affects the rubber skin and causes it break off, making the Terminators l0ok more horrific than usual. These units are typically used by Skynet for espionage and infiltration purposes rather than direct combat. However, the T-600's importance in these roles may have diminished due to the development of more advanced terminator models such as the aforementioned T-800 and the T-1000.

T-700 model
The T-700 models fall within the same class as the T-600 models, except that they are slightly smaller and more realistic than the T-600 models, but still not quite perfect or believable as the T-800 models, which is what Skynet is working towards as of the events of "Terminator Salvation". Nevertheless, it is their size and power that make them relentless hunters. T-700 models are slow and bulky, their shoulders and back are vulnerable to gun fire.

T-800 model
(portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first 3 movies, and Roland Kickinger in T4)
In the fictional Terminator universe, the T-800 model is a formidable robotic assassin and soldier, designed by the military supercomputer Skynet for infiltration and combat duty, towards the ultimate goal of exterminating the human resistance. It can speak naturally, copy the voices of others, read human handwriting, and even genuinely sweat, smell, and bleed. To detect the Terminators, who are otherwise indistinguishable from humans, the human resistance uses dogs to alert humans to their presence. The most notable science fiction characteristics are that of an expert system featuring strong AI functionality combined with machine learning, due to the fact that the system can interpret arbitrary non-formalized tasks. The other notable science fiction component is that of a power source which can continuously last 120 years, and a faint red glow in its eye sockets when it is online.
As seen in the movies, a Terminator can withstand standard 20th century firearms, crash through walls intact, and survive explosions to some degree. Repeated shotgun blasts have enough force to knock it down and temporarily disable it, while heavy amounts of automatic fire are able to compromise the organic disguise layer. In the second film, the Terminator says he can run for 120 years on his existing power cells. In the finale to Terminator 2, his power source is damaged, yet he is able to find an alternate source, described on the DVD commentary as heat sinks, harnessing the thermal energy from the hot surroundings. In the third film, the T-850 series Terminator (an upgrade of the T-800 series model) operates on two hydrogen cells and discards one of them early due to damage. It explodes shortly thereafter with enough force to produce a small mushroom cloud.

T-900 series
The Series 900, briefly seen in T3, is a type of Terminator mass produced by Skynet. The T-900 is Skynet's follow-up to the Series 800. It was a cybernetic organism with living tissue over a hyperalloy-armored endoskeleton. With rogue Terminators increasingly reprogrammed to help the Resistance, Skynet decided to make a Terminator series with the intent of terminating other Terminators. The T-900 series was twice as fast, strong and durable. Its battle chassis was covered with hyperalloy armor and had many choices of vision. It was powered by a miniature plasma fusion reactor in its torso and also had the ability to drive animals to the point of attacking their own handlers.
Curiously, the T-900s have appeared to be particularly inefficient and otherwise inferior compared to older models, despite their increased capabilities. One possible explanation for this is that these T-900s had little combat experience compared to the battle-hardened T-850. Their CPUs may also have been set to read-only, allowing Skynet more control over them, but at the same time limiting their ability to learn.

T-1000 model
(portrayed by Robert Patrick in T2)
The T-1000 is a fictional android assassin featured as the main antagonist in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The T-1000 is portrayed primarily by Robert Patrick; however, being a shape-shifter in spite of masculine programming, the T-1000 is also played by other actors in some scenes of the film. In Terminator 2, the T-1000 is presented as a technological leap over the "800 Series" Terminator; Schwarzenegger's character explains how the T-1000 is a more advanced terminator, composed entirely of a mimetic metal alloy, rendering it capable of rapid shapeshifting, near-perfect mimicry and rapid recovery from damage. Furthermore, it can use its ability to quickly liquify and assume forms in innovative and surprising ways, including fitting through narrow openings, morphing its human arms into solid metal tools or bladed weapons, walking through prison bars, and flattening itself on the ground to hide or ambush targets.
The only restriction is that it cannot form "complex machines", such as "guns and explosives" because they "contain chemicals, moving parts." Also, the T-1000 needs to acquire vehicles in order to accomplish its missions. The T-1000 model was sent back in time to the year 1995 to terminate John Connor when he was a boy, and he was destroyed by the reprogrammed T-800 model via a grenade launcher, and falling into a vat of molten metal where it was completely dissolved.

Terminatrix aka T-X
(portrayed by Kristanna Loken in T3)
The T-X is a composite of the T-800 and T-1000, a solid endoskeleton of feminine programming covered with polymimetic liquid metal alloy, allowing it to take the shape of any humanoid it touches. It is designed to not only terminate humans but rogue Terminators reprogrammed by the Resistance, an "anti-terminator terminator" as stated by John Connor. Because it is only coated in this material, it is possible to remove it from the endoskeleton using immensely strong magnetic force, such as from a cyclic particle accelerator. Powering all the T-X's systems is an onboard plasma reactor.
During Terminator 3, its primary weapon in combat was a directed plasma energy weapon until it was badly damaged and replaced by the IAD ChemTech, a type of flamethrower. It also has a circular saw for general cutting duty. Like other Terminators, it can readily use weapons designed for human use. However, the T-X still needs to acquire vehicles and other forms of transport needed to accomplish its missions.
The T-X has advanced human identification systems built within; it is able to analyze DNA in blood samples by taking and processing them in its mouth, possesses infrared sensors to detect body heat, and possesses a retinal scanner. In addition to its own database, it can emulate a dial-up modem and connect to the Internet over a phone. It can also insert nanites into other machines, including cyborgs, to corrupt their programming and temporarily gain control over their actions. As the Model 101 stated, "the T-X is faster, more powerful, and more intelligent", making this model "a far more effective killing machine" than its predecessors. Feats shown in the movie include jumping a large distance onto a speeding hearse, punching straight through a car seat plus a man's torso and quickly recovering from a direct RPG hit. It was also able to wrap its legs around the Model 101 with its back turned towards it and then turn its head 180 degrees to face it. Despite the Model 101's remark about its superiority, however, the two are shown to be evenly matched in a physical confrontation at the Cyber Research Systems building, at least for a time.

Non-Humanoid Hunter Killers, aka HK-series

T-1 Battlefield Robot (seen in T3)
The T-1 is portrayed by three full-scale remote controlled robots, the only differences from its movie counterpart being that it is not artificially intelligent or armed with weapons. Its design is loosely anthropomorphic, a "head" with sensors for eyes, gatling guns for arms, a "torso" that swivels like a human one, and caterpillar tracks for legs. While it is quite large, it is small enough to get around typical office building corridors. The T-1s are given the designations of "T1-n", with n being a sequential number for each one.

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-1_(Terminator_character)

Aerostat
Small-sized, saucer-shaped scout drones capable of relaying any human activity within the region to Skynet. They are often referred to as smaller versions of the HKs.

Transporter
This flying fortress serves as holding tanks for humans, and it contains both a Harvester and a HK-Aerial. The Harvester will put humans into the Transporter, which then flies back to Skynet Work Camps to process on the humans.

HK-Aerial
These VTOL-capable Hovercrafts are aerial patrol machines shaped like jet fighters, with engines loud enough to demolish buildings. They can blast away at humans with lasers and drop time-delay bombs. With wingspans of up to 108 ft and a devastating array of underslung and wing mounted lasers, missiles, and plasma cannons, the HK-Aerial is fearsome and terrifying to behold. Often operating in support of ground sweeps by swarms of Series 800 and Series 850 endoskeletons, they are one of the more dangerous targets for the members of the Resistance to engage. They appear in all 4 movies, usually featured in flashbacks.

HK-Drone
The HK-Drone, as seen in T3 and some scenes of Terminator Salvation, was designed by Cyberdyne Research Systems to be an unmanned aerial weapons systems which the organization was attempting to market to various military powers. As thousands were produced, when Skynet came on line it immediately had access to a small army of sophisticated tactical air craft. Post atomic holocaust humans would become quite familiar with them.Armed with conventional arms (machine guns) and low-yield missiles. Lacking the fusion reactor power source of later Aerial HK's, the Drone had no plasma phase weaponry.The original HK-Drone utilized the same VTOL design as the later large HK-Aerial and compact FK, yet more primitive. It had three swivel mounted turbo fans positioned around its body giving it great maneuverability and speed. It had more limited range than any Aerial HK due to its lack of a fusion reactor power.

HK-Tank
Developed from the original T-1, the HK-Tank is several stories tall and vaguely humanoid in overall shape, possessing a rotating, conning tower-like "head", two steel "arms" equipped with twin-barreled directional plasma cannons, and two "legs" consisting of massive individual tank treads. While formidably armed, the H-K Tank can be easily destroyed by a well-placed demolition charge. The HK tank can come in Scout or Assault variants. Perhaps better known as a boss-type character for the Game Boy and arcade versions of T2.

Harvester
A Goliath-sized machine standing at about 60 feet tall, equipped with shoulder-mounted guns and multiple arms capable of scooping up humans and bringing them back to Skynet, where their skin and hair will be used for the new Terminators.

Motor-Terminator
Because the Harvester is too big and slow to pursue any human captive who evade from its clutches, it makes up for it by launching 2 Motor-Terminators from its lower legs, which then chase after fleeing humans or vehicles. The Moto-Terminator possesses a GE M134 Minigun on each side, also a pair of Browning M1919's on each side near the front tire.

Hydrobot
Hydrobots are eel-shaped, sub-aquatic creatures that are built by Skynet to patrol the seas. Within the Terminator universe, they are based on the present day model of Skynet Research's Aquatic WorkBot, which was used to maintain kelp and seaweed, find minerals and oil, and seek out organic matter. As their name implies, Hydrobots have difficulty operating on land, but they could jump incredible distances and use their metal teeth to cut through even metal. A Hydrobot responds to sound and vibration via sonar sense, and it kills a victim by drilling into him.

Info on characters in Terminator film series part 1... the Resistance

Happy Birthday to Zheng Geping and Chen Tianwen

Terminator Salvation debuts this coming Thursday in cinemas all across Singapore. Here is the list of the 'good gguys' who happened in tthe four films (not counting the ones who appeared in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles").

The Human Resistance or Tech-Com is a fictional organization of human survivors of Judgment Day in the Terminator series, who are dedicated to defending other human survivors to fight and defeat Skynet. It was John Connor who united the despairing humans and drew them together into a coherent fighting force.

John Connor
(Edward Furlong in T2, Nick Stahl in T3, Christian Bale in T4, Thomas Deekr in TV series)
He is the main protagonist of the Terminator science fiction franchise, the central figure to all events and whose destiny is directly involved with the aftermth of Judgment Day. In a fictional post-apocalyptic future first referred to in The Terminator, powerful, intelligent machines have dedicated themselves to the eradication of humanity, and John Connor is the leader of the human resistance movement known as Tech-Com that opposes them. Connor rails against the old guard and believes that the current Resistance strategies are lacking. Skynet, the supercomputer mainframe of the machines, decides that John Connor is the focal point of the rebellion and believes that his termination would end the opposition. After repeated failures at terminating John during the war, Skynet decides to use a temporal displacement device to send cyborg assassins called Terminators to various points in John Connor's past in an attempt to terminate him before the war ever begins.

Kyle Reese
(Michael Biehn in T1, Anton Yelchin in T4)
Baptised by the fire in the world of the terminators, Kyle Reese was the leader of the 2-member Los Angeles Resistance Cell. As portrayed by Michael Biehn in The Terminator, he was sent back in time to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor to ensure the survival of the human race, and fathered John with her, before sacrificing himself in battle against the first Terminator sent back in time.
In Terminator Salvation, Kyle is the prime target of Skynet due to its awareness that he would eventually travel through time and become the father of John Connor. However it is never explained how Skynet is aware that Kyle would travel through time leading to a time paradox. According to recorded messages left by his mother Sarah, it is vital that John finds Kyle and sends him back in time so that he can be conceived. Otherwise the timeline could potentially be disrupted, and John may cease to exist and never fulfill his destiny as humanity's savior. Kyle has an older brother named Derek, who appeared only in the TV series.

Sarah Jeanette Connor
(Linda Hamilton in T1 and T2, Lena Headey in TV series)
She is the heroine of the first 2 Terminator series as well as the TV series. According to the first movie, Sarah was a legend among members of the resistance, having taught her son John to fight and organize while they were still in hiding prior to the war. Other than holding a job as a waitress in los Angeles, very little is known about Sarah prior to the date of 12th May 1984, the day when she crosses path with Kyle Reese as well as the first Terminator sent back to kill her. She learns she is in danger from a televised report of two other identically-named Los Angeles women being murdered in cold blood earlier that day. Though Reese's death deeply saddens her, his sincerity and courage inspires Sarah to carry on and develop the necessary skills and abilities that would make her a suitable mentor and teacher to John.
After these events, Sarah becomes a fugitive from society and begins making a voice recording for John in which she acknowledges his paternity to later give to her son at the proper age. Ten years later, she and John join forces with a reprogrammed T-800 series Terminator to bring down Cyberdyne Systems and defeat the T-1000, postponing Judgment Day in the process. Two years after that, Sarah dies of acute leukemia, and while her ashes were scattered across the Gulf of Mexico, her friends place a cache of weapons in her casket, which the T-850 series Terminator would eventually use in 2004.

Kate Connor, nee Kate Brewster
(Claire Danes in T3, Bryce Dallas Howard in T4)
She is the wife of John Connor and his future second-in-command. Kate grew up before the war, living in ignorance until she met John Connor. The only daughter of Lieutenant General Robert Brewster, the military director of CRS Autonomous Weapons Division, Kate's mother divorced her husband and left them when she was still at veterinary school. After finishing school, Kate went on to become a veterinarian, working at the Emery Animal Hospital, and became engaged to Scott Mason.
In 2004, her normal life was to change. Upon reacting to an animal emergency at the Emery Animal Hospital, Kate met John Connor whom she had previously been to school with, and with whom she had experienced her very first kiss. With John Connor and a reprogrammed 850 Series Terminator, Kate managed to escape a T-X which had been sent back in time to eliminate her, learning that her fianceé was killed. Practically kidnapped by these two, Kate learned the truth of things to come, of Skynet, and of Judgment Day. The rio set to CRS to try to stop her father from activating Skynet, only to be too late; Skynet had already been activated, and Kate's father was killed by the T-X.
Getting to the Crystal Peak Control and Command Center, a hardened fallout shelter facility in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for VIPs, Kate and John were able to survive Judgment Day as the nuclear missiles fell all around the world. Using the communications equipment within the facility, Kate helped John to get in touch with survivors and start to co-ordinate a Resistance force.

Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington)
A mysterious man on death row for murder who donated his body to Cyberdyne Systems for experimentation. He awakens fifteen years after his alleged execution and later discovers Skynet enhanced him to be a new type of human-terminator hybrid and thus the perfect infiltrator, his purpose was apparently to identify Kyle Reese and John Connor and lead them into a trap as even though he is unaware of it, Skynet can see and hear through him. Though he possesses a robotic body, Marcus is more human in behavior and nature since he still has a functioning biological system and a wholly independent will. His last memory is of being on death row, and John must decide whether to trust Wright.

Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood)
Suffering from survivor's guilt, the battle-hardened fighter pilot in John’s resistance cell continues the legacy of tough-as-nails female characters, like Sarah Connor, of the Terminator franchise. After being shot down by Skynet’s aerial forces, Blair is aided by Marcus and the two become fast friends on their way to rendezvousing with John Connor and his team. Her instincts —honed from years surviving in the wastelands and flying countless combat missions —lead her to trust Marcus, despite growing suspicions in John’s inner circle about the mysterious stranger’s motives. She is the romantic interest for Marcus.

Barnes (Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr. aka Common)
A resistance soldier and John's right-hand man. A deeply religious individual, Barnes believes that Judgment Day was the beginning of the End Times as outlined in the Bible, and that Skynet is the anti-Christ. His spiritual beliefs make Barnes follow the messiah-like John into even the most hopeless of situations—and lead him even to disobey orders from higher ranking resistance leaders to do so.

General Ashdown (Michael Ironside)
He is the leader of the Resistance before John Connor, a hard-nosed and strict individual who runs the guerrilla para-military organization and goes 'by the book' rather than his own instincts. He considers Connor a delusion false prophet at best and a dangerous liability to their operations at worse. At one point of time, John tries to talk Ashdown into delaying an impending assault on Skynet's headquarters until he has time to liberate the prisoners there. After a fierce argument over the radio, Ashdown berates John for not willing to make sacrifices and officially strips him of his authority. Ashdown and several high-ranking commanders would later be killed aboard a command submarine by a Hunter-Killer.

Big Idea day 2 part 2... Ultimatum cast and aftermath

Continued from previous entry... in the minutes leading to 4 pm, the crowd at the Big Idea tent located outside Plaza Singapura had increased tremendously, and the stuffiness got worse within minutes. After a 15-minute preview, the cast of the upcoming blockbuster drama "The Ultimatum" finally graced the stage at 4.05 pm. All 12 cast members scheduled beforehand showed up, plus an additional member, Constance Song!! :-D


Line-up and group photo prior to individual interviews


Zoe plays Ye Yucheng, daughter of Songnian and Wenyu raised by Songnian's 1st wife Suzhen. Yucheng and Songqiao, half-sisters born on the same day, were swapped at birth due to the negligence of the hospital staff. Upon discovering who she really is, she goes to extreme measures to keep the secret at all costs.


Fann plays Fang Songqiao, her biological mother is Suzhen but she ended up being raised by Wenyu. She is the half-sister of Yuchen fighting to reclaim her birthright.


Ping Hui plays Sun Jie, a security manager who is best friends with Zhou Zhida (Li Nanxing) and love interest of Songqiao. Cunning and arrogant, he takes the law into his own hands and believes he is superior to all human beings, and even finds Song Qiao's upright ways unrealistic. His character goes through a drastic change when he loses his ability to steal after the right side of his body is handicapped.


Felicia plays Sun Min, the younger sister of Sun Jie who has a passion for gambling, and inspires to be the Goodess of Gamblers. She dresses herself up as a boy in order to work at the coffee shop just to get near Zhida (whom she believes to be Zhang Feng), and is determined to help him regain his lost memory. In a sad twist of fate, Sun Min is later violated by Ye Ren De, who causes her to lose her sanity. Fortunately, Song Qing does not give up on her and stands firmly by her.


Zhenhuan plays Fang Songqing, the younger son of Wenyu and actual brother of Yuchen He is a kind-hearted pastry chef who has no lack of suitors, but has eyes only for his cake creations. He has feelings for his close friend Sun Min, and is willing to stand by her even though she treats him like a punching bag.


Elvin plays Ye Renyi, second son of Fang Songnian and Suzhen. He and Renxiao (played by Benedict Goh) are the biological brothers of Songqiao. This marks Elvin's first true villanous role, a cunning and manipulative fiend in contrast to the good-willed and earnest Renxiao.


Terence Cao plays He Chao Qun, love rival with Sun Jie competing for the affections of Songqiao.


Chen Sucheng plays Ye Songnian, patraich of the Ye family. He is the father of Yuchen, Songqiao, Renxiao, Renyi and Rende. His first wife Mei'E and eldest son Ye Ren Zhong died sometime before the timeline of the series.


Huifang plays Zheng Wenyu, a tragic woman who got raped by Songnian and bore her own child Yu Chen; her father was killed by Songnian soon after her rape. It was she who purposely let the Ye family raise her own daughter Yuchen, while she raised their daughter Songqiao. She and Fang Weiguo have a younger son Songqing. She only revealed the truth to Yuchen and Songqiao many years later.


Meijiao plays Shen Suzhen, second wife of Songnian and mother of Renxiao, Renyi and Songqiao. She is completely unaware that her biological daughter Songqiao was swapped with Yuchen.


Constance plays Jiang Ruolin, godsister-turned-3rd wife of Songnian and mother of Rende.


Cynthia plays Chen Xiaobao, wife of Zhou Zhida who is believed to be Zhang Feng, love interest of Yuchen.


Jerry plays Ye Rende, only son of Ruolin and the youngest child of Songnian. Extremely spoilt and rebellious to the core, he is often at loggerheads with his half-brothers Renxiao and Renyi.



The cast members turned around to face the camera while all the fans creamed along with them "Qing shou kan Suan Zi Xing!!". About 400 fans then started forming a queue behind the tent, stretching all the way to the detour in front of 7-Eleven. We all got up on stage to shake hands with the cast members... Jerry, Elvin and Felicia obviously knew me, I think Ping Hui did too. I did say "congrats" to Fann, who had been officially wed to Chris Lee a week prior. Naomi, Ice and myself then headed down to Radiogate. where we saw a few other fans already waiting down there. :-)

The crew returned at around 1730 hrs. Constance, Terence and Sucheng drove off without stopping. Fann did stop for a short while, but only a handful of fans approached her car; she was gone in less than 30 seconds.

But the next 3 individuals who drove out of RG soon after were willing to park their cars by the side and interact with the fans.


Finally got to take picture with Jerry. That means I had taken picture with ALL 6 of the Star Search 2007 grand finalists (including Celia Pan prior to the finals). :-)


Felicia surrounded by lots of fans. Yep haha, I actually took this opportunity to 'tou pai' a few of tha fans... :-p


Me with Felicia... 25th time taken picture with her I believe.


Me with Elvin. Obviously I will see him again at Plaza Sing in a week's time.


Elvin signing on an Elvinology poster. Hehe, some fans actually mistook Elvin's cousin (who was waiting to fetch him) for Terence Cao!! Upon realizing that, the poor guy blushed away while the 2 female passengers seated behind him started giggling :-D



Belinda Lee drove out sometime after that... the few of us fans were lucky to have stayed on a little longer, even though something very displeasing happened between the time that Elvin had left and the time that Belinda drove out. More details on that unpleasant experience can be seen in my Facebook note.


Wang Yuqing came out not long after. He showed us a picture of his older son (7 yrs of age) from his PDA. :-)
