Some pics taken during Miss Earth Singapore Parade at CP

Here are some pictures taken at Chinatown Point yesterday... to any hot-blooded male reading this, hope your eyes and noses don't bleed from all that ogling!! :-X


The current batch of the very fine-looking Miss Earth Singapore finalists manning the booth opposite the stage.


First rap performance by a big sized dude and a lanky on3.


Event hosted by former Channel 8 actor Raymond Yong (with that balding scalp, he is nowhere as dashing as his close friends Thomas Ong or Andrew Seow, sigh) and Miss Earth Singapore 08 Fire winner Yen Wu Ling (sweetie pie with nice complexion).


First game involved Deborah (10), Suet Yeo (3), Nur Amira (11) and Xuanhua (15). My friend Ishardi was selected to participate in the quiz alongside Xuanhua.


2nd rap performance involving same big guy from 1st rap and a different lanky rapper. The 2nd rapper can't seem to stop putting his hand at his crotch region! Who does he think he is, Michael Jackson? HEE HEE!! :-p


Second game involved Nadiah (1), Valerie (7), Michelle Lee (4) and Willynn (14)


Group picture of 18 babes (minus No 6 Jeannie Quee who was noticeably absent)

Babes, classic cars and rockers on Saturday night

Happy Birthday to Bryon, Stephanie, Natalie and Yixi
Start of the Cancer star

Yesterday was another day of madness... yet everything went smoothly. this was how it went...

0900-1300 hrs: Worked in morning shift of course. The moment L and S arrived to cover afternoon shift, I got permission to be knocked off, and with that I took a taxi to Chinatown region.

1300-1420 hrs: I met up with Ishardi, Syazali and Shanwei to watch abt more than a dozen beautiful gals grace the stage at Chinatown Point as part of Miss Earth Singapore 2009 pageant. The Environmental Parade was hosted by former Ch 8 actor Raymond Yong (now balding greatly at 41 yrs old) and Miss Earth Singapore Fire winner Yen Wu Ling (she looked a bit like Jessica Tan). All the babes looked sizzling hot in tight white shirts and denim shorts. There were actually 15 contestants, but one of them was absent possibly cos she was unwell or something. I noticed a few photographers behaving a little awkward in front of the ladies, one of them actually tood very close to the

1420-1620 hrs: After a quick lunch, the 4 of us headed down to China Square Central to look thru the WWE figures, Transformers, Star Wars toys, Power Ranger robots, Marvel toys and even semi-nude female figurines (whoops!!). Before heading back to Chinatown MRT station, we saw a variety of classic cars, including a red-colored Mini similar to the one driven by Chen Liping.

1630-1800 hrs: I took train to Outram Park Interchange and headed to the usual bus stop in front of HSA... took Bus 970 all the way to Bukit Panjang Plaza... I had no idea that the journey was soooo long (exactly 1 hour xiah)!! Lucky I had MP3 from my phone, so that was more than enough to kill time. Upon reaching BPP, I had quick dinner at KFC, then headed to Garden Plaza.

1815-1915 hrs: There were few people present then, but thankfully more people started coming in from 8 pm onwards. The only guys I was familiar with were Xing Yu and Kenneth (arghh). As the groups were rehearsing, there was a very heavy downpour!! But even that wasn't enough to dampen our spirits one bit.

1915-2045 hrs: The concert started proper, and it was hosted by some petite Chinese girl named Shauna. The performances I watched at around this time were as follows...
- Marcus and his band XD (I think) performing 2 English songs and a Chinese songs. Great teamwork, but I seriously dislike the bass player, he thinks he very great and pro, kept bossing the otehrs around.
- Campus Superstar finalist Yap Jiamin sang 1 English song ("Saving All My Love For You" by Whitney Houston) and 2 Chinese songs (one by Stefanie Sun and the other by forgot who). Given her melodious tone, strong vocal control and versatility, it was most evident that she was many times more deserving of the CSS 3 title, more so than that young brat known as Mr Lee!!! :-(
- Game time between 3 people... Joselin and 2 Malay guys. they had to outmatch each other tin a game of... HULA HOOP!!! :-O
- A Malay rock band of 5 known as KnighWings performed 2 English songs and a Malay song. They were exceptionally good with Meat Loaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)". They rock to the max!! :-)
- Campus Superstar finalist Joselin Huang sang 2 Chinese songs... forgot the name of the first one, but second song was "Hi Hi" by Zhang Huei Mei. After that, myself and the other 2 guys took picture with Jos at backstage, as well as pass belated birthday gifts to her.
- A group of 5 Malay guys (forgot the band's name) performed next... but I didn't stay long cos it was then that I decided to head back home. I did however hear them perform the very familiar tune of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". :-)

2045-2230 hrs: Took bus from Bukit Panjang Interchange to Dhoby Ghaut (saw in awe the colorful sights of Ion Orchard and the shopping center located opposite Centerpoint), then took train back to Kovan. Reached home and did a bit of Bible reading before heading off to bed by midnihgt. And I totally forgot about the local tele-movie titled "Angel" starring Nat Ho and Patrick Teoh!!! DOOOHHHHH!!!! :-(((

Thoughts on cancelled gatherings, Youth Ext and Inversion

Happy Birthday to Priscilla Kwa, Deborah Lee and Sargunan

I wasn't surprised at all when a certain LT gathering, which had been postponed way too many times since last May, had been quietly cancelled and removed off the Events sector without prior warning... in fact, the cancellation was kinda expected, given the rather dismal feedback. I wasn't realy looking forward to it anyway (nyuk nyuk), even if that means I may not get to see that CSS finalist who looked a bit like FC.

Speaking abt FC, I had a strange dream last night that there was a joint gathering for FC and JP fanclubs held at a chalet. I couldnt seem to stop giggling at the mere possibility of such a gathering, heh :-p

Events to look forward to for the weekend...

Miss Singapore Earth roadshow at Chinatown Point tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm.

Youth Extravaganza event at Bukit Panjang Plaza tomorrow evening, I intend to see Campus Superstar Top 4 finalists Jiamin and Joselin (both sweet and pretty babes).

Because the supposed bowling session on Sunday afternoon had self-terminated (if that's the proper word to use), that leaves me quite free in the afternoon between 12 to 4 pm, I plan to go to PS to settle some fanclub membership renewal stuff (sorry, but I'm not telling). After 4 pm, I am still heading to Central shopping center to watch Magic Babe Ning perform an Inversion stunt 3 storeys high. She will be shackled upside down on a trapeze rope, bound in a strait jacket like the one she did for Ultimate Magic, and to make matters even more challenging, BLINDFOLDED!!! And the most conrtoversial decision of all?? She requested not to have any safety nets or wires for this daredevil stunt!! I pray that the blood of Jesus protect Ning and that she will be able to pull it off without any diffiulty. I can't help but have a rather bad feeling about this... she better not do such a stunt again in future.

And although I really hate to say this, I am most probably not going to attend Mr JB's 21st birthday chalet which is to be held at East Coast Park on Monday evening (of all days, a Monday??? LOL!!!). Nothing personal whatsover, I've got my own stuff to settle and own worries too. How to expect me to attend a birthday chalet right after work when I still have to report as per normal the very next day?

New H1N1 flu cases??? :-(

SINGAPORE, June 18 (Bernama) -- Singapore today reported another 11 confirmed new cases of Influenza A (H1N1), including one who appeared to have acquired his infection in the city-state, bringing the toll so far to 77.

The other 10 new cases -- seven Singaporeans, including a permanent resident of Filipino descent and three foreigners (a Filipino, an Australian and a Canadian) had returned from countries with known community transmission of H1N1, the Health Ministry said in its update on the flu tonight.

It said the 73rd case was a 26-year-old Malaysian man who is a permanent resident in Singapore. He departed from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur on flight SQ108 at 10am on June 14 to attend a conference, and later that evening he developed the symptoms while having dinner at a restaurant. He returned to Singapore on SilkAir flight MI335 at 1.14 pm yesterday and upon arrival at Changi Airport, sought assistance to be sent to a local hospital.

Even more BS in regards to Singapore Idol 3...

Happy Birthday to Andie Chen, Crystal Ng and Zax

This was what Mr EY typed recently in regards to his upcoming 2nd audition round for Singapore Idol which is to be held at the Marina Barrage next week...

"in his truthfully humble & honest declaration want to show & let know all he has in him to Dick Lee , Florence Lian & Ken Lim The 3 Credible High Quality Spore Idol Judges on Tat Special Day Again Why He Fully Deserve a Place In The Top 60 Position Among The 100Finalists & May His Mentor The Late Leslie Cheung Once Again Continue To Guide & Bless Him Along The So Near Yet So Far Journey"

Fancy him trying to ask me (of all people!! Why cant he ask someone else???) to accompany him for the upcoming round of Singapore Idol 3 next Tuesday at 2 pm. Obviously I sadi no, cos I got work to do, and I had absolutely no interest whatsoever to accompany a twit like him. When I expressed to him my frustrations, this was what he said in return...

"Mr mix-blooded Tanat, Your Comment will not discourage me at all one but onli will spur me in singing 100times better on tat day & i m right in my judgement in treating u as my english friend rather as a chinese , cantonese & hokkien friend since u everytime like to use bomastic english words & later i will delicate a song to u A F4 SONG... SANG BY VIC CHOU ZAI ZAI FOR U TO LEARN TO BE MORE LIKE HIM AS A TRUE GENTLEMAN ROLE MODEL IN TERMS OF HIS LOOKS, HAIR, HEIGHT, BUILD, VOICE, DRESS CODE, CHARACTER & PERSONALITY K. SO U CAN ONE DAY BE WITH YOUR DREAMHEART GIRL MISS XX WHICH I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT SO GREAT U SEE IN HER"

He is really a tough nut to crack, don't you think? I was quite offended the moment he called me "Mr mix-blooded"... yes, I may be of mixed blood, but I AM STILL AS HUMAN AS YOU ARE, HELLO???

QQ birthday party, and inner rage within

Happy Birthday to Aidil Kamis, Germaine Chow and Joselin Ng

Sorry for not upd
ating last night, though I could have. I wasn't really in a clear state of mind to blog due to a erm, certain insecurity (read on and you'll find out). In the morning, me and family went for Sunday service as a whole, the only time we would do so for this month cos Dad had to catch an evening flight back to Thailand (sniff). The topic was on physical healing (temporal) as well as spiritual healing (eternal) and preached by Rev. Tay. After service ended, I took bus to Paya Lebar station, then took train to Simei.


I took a brief stroll around Eastpoint Mall, then went out to bus stop...



Lo and behold, it was raining at last!! Luckily I brought along umbrella, otherwise I sure kena drenched like no tomorrow. I took bus to Simei Green... only to find out that I went to wrong venue!!! So I took bus again and this time, I walked to the correct location, the condo located opposite Changi General Hospital. Very big condo with huge swimming pool.


So I got inside the Function Room and was greeted warmly by Qiuting and her sisters. Turned out that almost everyone also got the place wrong, but can't totally blame them. I felt a bit bad cos I didn't buy a gift for QQ, but she told me that I ned not worry. In the minutes that followed, a few more friends arrived (one of them was Silver, whom I last saw at K-Box Union a few mths back). By abt 1 pm, the rain had finally stopped, the sun came out again and we started to makan. But quite wasted lah, there was too much fried rice and curry left over. QQ's family managed to salvage some of the food into styrofoam boxes nonetheless. Oh yes, I spotted abt 3 bikini babes in the pool at one point, I was going "yeah baby" and fortunately, I didn't get nosebleed at all. But I opted not to take any sneaky shot of them, lest everyone else think that I am a pervert.


At about 2.45 pm, it was time to wish Qiuting Happy Birthday. She had to blow 2 bday cakes, and she managed to avoid getting her pretty face smeared onto the cake by her third sister, heh. A bunch of hem then sang some karaoke songs in the lounge.
And yeah, these are the photos I feel are legit to be published... but then again, I didn't really take many pics during the party.

At about 3.30 pm, Kenneth, Min and myself worked together to clear the trays and tumblers as well as carry them to the carpark... fold the table cloths as well as the spring-loaded tables; the others had to clear house. And it was around this time that I got really pissed cos I was trying very hard not to lose my cool at the constant mispronounciation of my name (yes, I am THAT sensistive, you have been warned)!! I was so mad deep down inside, that I litearlly KICKED the last table and nearly cut my big toe!! For the last time, my name is pronounced as "TAH-NUT" as in Michael Tarnat, and NOT "Tah-net", get that?!?! Next person to get that wrong (unless he is a new friend) is so gonna receive a punt kick to the skull!!!

Anyway after we left the place at 4 plus, I went to the toilet to cool myself down from the name mispronounciation, then took tain to Changi to meet up with parents and brother. We had dinner at the canteen located at Basement 1 of Terminal 1, then Mum, Bro and I bade Dad farewell as he entered the departure hall. We then took bus back home to do our own thing.
