DFTL starts tonight!

Happy Birthday to Sugih and Irene

Be sure to catch "Don't Forget The Lyrics! Singapore" tonight! The long awaited local version of the popular gamshow is finally here, hosted by our very own funnyman Gurmit Singh. And to kick off the show with a BANG, we have the first of 5 specials... and what better way than to kick off with the Popstar Charity Special, starting off with 3 of the best-known Singapore Idol alumni... SI season 1 winner Taufik Batisah, SI season 2 finalist Jonathan Leong, and SI season 2-cum-Asian Idol Hady Mirza! You certainly can't miss out on this! ;-)

"Don't Forget The Lyrics" Popstar Special Recording

Happy Birthday to Elena

Yesterday was totally INSANE!! Not only were the Jonatics present for the final recording of "Don't Forget The Lyrics", but also the fanclubs for 2 more Singapore Idols (hint: TB and HM). There were also abt teachers and kids (abt 50 in total) from the Chasworth International School or something like that. I believe the total number of people present for the recording was about 100 or slightly more.

I reached good ol' MediaCorp at 6 pm, and more fans started coming at from 6.30 pm. Lo and behold, New Yi Qing arrived, escorting us to Studio 1. I shan't dwell too much into detail... the recording started at abt 8 pm and lasted for abt 3 hrs, the setting for DFTL looked smaller than I had anticipated (see rough diagram), and there was some 'major revamp thing' in the middle of the studio sets. The musicians who performed throughout the 3 hrs were an awesome bunch... I kinda like the female backup singer named Huimin, she looks really cute (and looks a bit like Jade Seah). Gurmit was indeed a really funny and quirky host, and it was truly an Idol Reunion of sorts among Gurms, Jonathan and the other 2 guys. If you wanna find out who, do catch "Don't Forget The Lyrics" on 27th November to find out ;-)

As we were heading out of the studio at 11.20 pm, I went on to take picture with Yi Qing :-) Then I managed to catch the last of Bus 165 and 854 to head back home... no need to take taxi, muahaha! ;-p

Ok lah, no need to guess the names of the other 2 guys already... do refer to the labels at the bottom of this post. ;-)

My thoughts on President's Star Charity and New paper New Face 2008

Happy Birthday to Nicky Bryne (Westlife) and Kendric Tan


Due to the F1 SingTel Grand Prix and other factors (namely the cancellation of future Ren Ci shows), this year's President Star Charity had been pushed to early October, and got less publicity as a result, compared to the last 2 year's PSC shows. And if there's one thing I'm not very happy about, it's gotta be the poster layout as seen in this week's copy of 8 days...

The biggest travesty has gotta be Jon Leong's image positioning in the ensemble... he is located at the very back row (behind 'Broadway Beng' Sebastian Tan's), and his face is barely visible under the poor contrast!! I felt that Jon's image (as well as Olinda's) should be placed within the same row as Taufik, Hady, Ping Hui, Fiona and Daren!! Jon and Oli are also rising stars, therefore they deserve much better positioning!! And poor Fathul of By Definition, his face is barely visible in the poster since it is located very near to the centrefold of the magazine.

I also feel that the poster design committee oughta be sued, cos the background color is totally salah for a supposedly jovial event like PSC!! With the background color being black in color, it only makes the poster look weirder, with the darkness mixing with the artistes' black hairdo... and that makes the heads of artistes like Jon, Hady, Fiona and Daren look even weirder!! What happened to the design team's sense of color theory and variety???

And to a lesser degree, I seriously think that Kym Ng's face should be placed BEHIND... not at the front most portion of the poster. matter of fact, I think she should switch places with Jon!! I feel she rather over-rated... and OLD. I heard she might already be in her 40s?

Tomorrow I will be going to Takashimaya Square/Ngee Ann City to watch the New Paper New Face 2008 finals, even though most of the girls totally cannot make it. I ain't even gonna place my bets on who's gonna win... I'm going there only to kill time and try my luck on spotting celebs...

OH WAIT!! I read from today's New Paper that there is indeed a celeb going there... 'JINGYI'!!! :-D

Levi's Unbuttoned event at NAC

Happy Birthday to Susila and Emily Goh

Because I have an assignment to do, I have to put this entry up really fast. Not to forget that I may not be logging on the Net tonight due to "Crime Busters X 2"...

Morning til 12 plus- slacked at home
1330 hrs- had quick lunch at PS
1400 hrs- reached Ngee Ann City
1500 to 1530 hrs- Jonathan's performance
1600 to 1615 hrs- fashion show involving 10 Caucasian models
1615 to 1645 hrs- Taufik's performance
1700 to 1745 hrs- tea break at Coffee House (3rd level of NAC)
1800 to 1900 hrs- long ride back home (first by MRT, then by bus)


This is what the Levi's store at the basement level of NAC looks like. In the 4th picture, there is a wall setion comprising of New Face 2008 finalists' profiles. I didn't really take a close shot on the articles, simply cos... most of them CANNOT MAKE IT. Oh, and Geraldine Chua (remember the Singapore Idol season 2 semi-finalist who said, "Shut up your mouth" at Downtown East?) happened to be one of them.


This deejay (quite hot, but a bit old) named Sue (if I remember corretly) 'saboed' me to go up on stage for some game, and I was 'crucified' along with Valerie and that disgusting Hutt Alvin. No lah, actually we have to put our feet together and stretch out our arms 90 degrees and hold on in this position while stacks of jeans are draped on our forearms.


Yes, you heard that right!! That Bloody Fat Bastard Alvin was present too!! I wonder if his parents are even aware of his retardness. Stay tuned for a song dedication coming up anytime soon...


Jonathan performing from 3 to 3.25 pm. Songs he sang were "Should I Stay", "Always Be My Baby" and er... forgot name of last song. For Song # 2 and 3, he did acoustic guitar with a friend named Dylan.


Fashion show... I thought the brown haired girl reminded me a little of Felicia. :-p She's the leggy babe in the 2nd last pic, 2nd from right in the 1st group of 5. It's true that I like girls with nice legs... make me wanna turn into... errrm, never mind! :-X


Taufik performing from 4.15 to 4.45 pm... with no Fiknatics in sight! They went for family visiting you see... remember, it was Hari Raya Puasa. I forgot name of the first song he sang... the other 2 songs were "Me and Mrs Jones" followed by "Make Your Body Move". After his last song, he had to rush off, but not before shaking hands with a few of us as we wished him Selamat Hari Raya.

Oh, and there's one more thing I have to digress yet again...

KL, I don't intend to start a debate with you whatsoever, but I feel I need to point out something in regards to what you said about MKP 'changing for the better' in recent weeks. If what you said is true, then what will you call someone who is still obsessed with his own reflection, still harboring lustful thoughts over his fave singer, still overwhelmingly boastful with his accomplishments, proceeds to create 80 freaking blog entries within 1 month, and then goes on to create 7 agonizing blog entries on the first day of this month??? Certainly you know that MKP is totally unapologetic in what he does, and he does not deserve our understanding by even the smallest integer. Moreover, I am already sick and itred of 'researching' on him since he will never atone for his sins. Do remember this quote well... a leopard never changes its spots.
