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

Carrot Cake premiere at Vivo :-)

Happy Birthday to Calvin Khoo, Amanda Han and Renee

Gong Li has become a Singaporean citizen??? :-O

Firstly, I met up with Naomi at Harborfront MRT station at half past 6, then we went up to the Golden Village cinema at VivoCity...to watch "The Carrot Cake Conversations". The movie started a bit late due to commercials and movie trailers. I wasn't having very high expectations on the film, given the fact that it had gotten less-than-average reviews from 8 days, TODAY newspaper, Yahoo Movies, etc. It didn't help either that the cinema was barely half-full. Ok, I admit it was kinda dull and not-so-happening, but it does prove a point that sometimes we need to take a break from our daily activities, sit down to do some self-reflections and take the initiative to change our own perspectives towards life. Decent effort from the director though. There were a few funny moments, mostly from Alaric Tay who plays an oil trader whose 2nd wife cheated on him. The rather cliche ending bascially left me and a few others going, "Huh?". I rate the film 6 out of 10 stars... acting is good, but plot a bit too jarring, and the pace seemed a bit slow (thank goodness I didn't fall asleep). Given the fact that all 4 main leads were seen smoking, I thought it would be good if the movie were titled "The Smoking Squad Conversations"... WHOOPS!! :-X

As the end credits started rolling at abt 8.50 pm, the lights turned on and the director Michael Wang went to the front portion of the cinema, followed by the gorgeous Andrea Fonseka and the funnyman Alaric Tay (better known as Andre Chichak from "The Noose"). The questions asked were rather short and simple. One of the theater actors who was present asked a lot of questions that kinda left my mind too numb to ask any new questions. Andrea sounded cute speaking in Singlish! :-)

The session was done by 9.15 pm, and once outside the cinema Naomi and myself took picture with the beautiful Andrea, and got her autograph as well. As soon as we left the cinema, we went our separate ways... myself feeling so delighted that I kinda lost some sleep. :-p
