TrueHeart - Community Chest 2009

Community Chest, a non-profitable charity body which established for these 4 purposes...
1. nurturing children to succeed,
2. dignifying the lives of the elderly,
3. helping people with disabilities lead independent lives, and
4. keeping families together.
in order to raise the funds for the needy, they organized TrueHeart Charity Show last night at 7pm...
this event would feature by many local and oversea artists, Jeanette(obviously), Dai Yang Tian, Show Luo and so on..
Jeanette was performing ballet with a beneficiary named, Melody and some other artist like Cavin Soh, Jeremy and Michelle Leong.. eh eh.. opss sorry, was Michelle Tay...
hahahaha....

we were informed that they would be a rehearsal on Saturday afternoon at 2pm and a full dress rehearsal at 7pm at Toa Payoh HDB Hub (the venue for the event)...
so, we went there to have a look...
around 2.30pm, we saw Jeanette with her new manager...
she was wearing jacket and long pants and we were like,"Not hot meh??" because the place doesn't have air-con...
we screamed and waved to her to get her notice because she is super blur with her surrounding...
then, she came to talk to us..
she said she got throat inflammation again and complained that she always fell sick when she has to perform..
so, we asked her to take care of herself and cheered for her..
I noticed that she is super fair...
and her complexion is super nice...
really envy her to max...
when she was rehearsing, she seems weak and a bit pale...
and we noticed that she kept on coughing..
then, Eudora received a message from her saying that she was worried that she could perform well...
so, we kept on cheering for her...
after she finished her rehearsal, we went for a walk so to kill time as in we going to wait for the full dress rehearsal at 7pm...
suddenly, we thought of doing cards for Jeanette's PA and Melody because her PA hurt her back and we want to give encouragement to Melody for her performance...
smell something fishy?? no Jeanette's??
wahahahaha... obviously, we would do 1 for her too..
so, we went to Popular and buy the papers...
and we always find a "not-supposed-to-be-there" spot to do arts...
this time, we sat at the corner of the lift in one of the office buildings near Toa Payoh Hub...
and here's our products...

Ah Bao's (Jeanette's PA) card...

Melody's card..

Jeanette's card...

then, we went back to the area again because they were having a full dress rehearsal at 7pm...
and again, when Jeanette appeared, we cheered for her as loud as we could...
but after her performance, we were totally exhausted...
so, we had Burger King which happened to be right in front of the place we stood...
when the show finished, we did our chasing as all the artists were taken to a a lift or maybe a room...
as we thought it was all over, suddenly, we saw all the artists went back to the stage area with their plain clothes...
so, we were waiting for Jeanette to come out too...
and yes, she came out after that...
but at that time, most of us already went back...
so only left Elicia(for Muar), Elle, Fiona, Eve and Serene...
Elicia purposely came all the way to Singapore for this event and so, Fiona asked Jeanette whether can she take an individual picture with Elicia..
but her manager said later because they were going to have a briefing from the producer...
so we waited for her at the side...
we thought that she might just went off after the briefing but no, she came to our side and talk to us...
then Elicia took picture with her and suddenly, she said ," Come, we have a quick group picture.."
then we were like so happy and arranged ourselves nicely...

after that, we went to Geylang for "Dou jiang you tiao" supper...
by the time i reached home, it was about 12.10am and i needed to wake up at 7.30am because we want to book a good spot for the event which would start at 7pm...
we reached at TPY HUB around 10am...
9 hours to countdown was super exaggerating, right?
BUT there were someone more exaggerating than us who were Rui En's fans...
they were there at 5++am...
SUPER CRAZY!!!
when we were there, DYT's fans were there too and they were waving at us, asking us to go to their side...
we were kind of puzzled because we thought that they recognized the wrong people or so..
but couldn't be because we were wearing Jeanius FC t-shirt and it was damn obvious that we were not DYT's fans...
suddenly, they approached us and said that they already booked a place for us, JEANIUSES!!
oh my god.. we were stunned at that very moment...
so nice of them to book a place for us...
they even asked us to go for breakfast as they would look out for the place for us..
so we went to McDonald for breakfast...
something which u guys would not expect to hear happened...
i witnessed a snatch theft in McD...
A SNATCH THEFT IN SINGAPORE IN A BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!
the lady shouted, " CATCH!!!" and dashed out to give a chase...
without much thinking, a McD staff ran and chase after the thief...
luckily, she managed to get back her handbag but the thief slipped away...
we were so shocked when we witnessed it...
and hence, LOW CRIME RATE DOESN'T MEAN NO CRIME!!!!

after that, we went back to our "seats" and played UNO stacko..
everyone who passed by us, watched us play and some aunties even asked why we were they so early...
when she knew it, she was shocked to see us there so early just for the sake of HER..
she even complained that if her daughter that hardworking in her studies, she would be very grateful..
hahaha...
when we were happily playing our UNO, a Mediacorp staff chased us out from the place..
saying that that area was meant for those ticket holders and started to barricades the area...
she even mentioned that it was meant for Show Luo's fans who have tickets...
we were like super pissed off because we have been waited since morning and suddenly she just chased us away like that...
we complained to our head of the fanclub who is Eudora...
and she did informed Jeanette about this matter...
we were under hot sun in the noon and suddenly, the rain came to join in the "FUN"...
it leaded us to no choice but to look for shelter in the hub...
since it was raining, we went for our lunch...
by the time we had our lunch, the sun came back again..
so, we went back to the unsheltered area to wait...
despite complaining, we enjoyed ourselves by playing UNO games AGAIN...
and we made it a point that those losers would need to be forfeited...
around 5 plus, one of the staff approached us, asking for the amount of members we have there...
and she mentioned that they were trying to arrange us to be in the barricade..
we were so surprised at that moment...
Eudora found out that it was JEANETTE's arrangement for US...
how sweet and thoughtful she is...
and we were placed right in front of the stage with a super clear view...
but it was only 5 plus and we haven't had our dinner...
when Eudora sms-ed Jeanette to thank her, she mentioned that we were stucked inside the barricade without having our dinner...
and AGAIN, out of our expectation, the staff sent a box of lunchboxes to US, JEANIUSES ONLY...
we suspected it was Jeanette's arrangement again...
so we waited for the reply from her so to confirm first..
but she was too busying doing her make-up so we ate our dinner with love...

Jeanette's Love

wahahahaha...
we really enjoyed the meal even though it was just a plain lunchbox...
then, the show started at 7pm...
we screamed like mad when she was about to perform on order to show out support to her..
and of course, she did heard it..
after her performance, she came to our side and talked to us..
she was the ONLY artist who met her fans during the event..
and the peach smell of her perfume was sweet... hahahahahaha...
after the event finished, we rushed to the exit and waited for her to come out...
when she was on her way out, we screamed, "JEANETTE, WE LOVE U!!"
it was super funny because we even surrounded the van and banged on the window...
because she did so many things for us, we did some videos for her too after that...
(will upload the videos later.. so stay tune..)
that's the first event i attended and it was really a memorable one...

Happy Moments In Singapore..

well, from the title itself, u guys should roughly know what I wanted to write about...
and maybe some of u already know some of it through my facebook's pictures...
ok... stop beating about the bush as in I am typing this in the middle of work...

let's start with 25th May...
it was a memorable moment for our company, Concord Electrical Pte Ltd...
it was their 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary...
so, we had a grand dinner at InterContinental Hotel in Bugis...
all staffs got a chance to go back earlier that day as to prepare themselves for the dinner...
and yes, I did dress up myself too..
thinking of a gown?? fat hope...
hahahaha...
I'm still not that daring or should say brave enough to wear a gown yet...
but I did make some improvement by wearing a 2 inches high heels...
however, I really had a bad time wear that heels, got myself some abrasions...
anyway, the dinner was successfully organized by a bunch of the committees...
a grand entrance with red carpet, a fast-and-cute cartoon artist and professional photographer...

The Stage

The Artist

ME!!

The Ballroom Chandeliar

The Hand Gifts
(A Cute Safety Helmet and Card Holder)

but the dinner starts at 9pm because of all the speeches and mingle around...
during the mingling, i was approached by 4 big bosses who were the Chairman, CEO, Executive Director and GM...
all 4 of them surrounded me and asked me a lot of things...
to my suprise, the Executive Director knows my mom...
then, the Chairman told me that he already booked me for a job after I graduated...

it was really funny at that time and all I could say was,"Yaya, sure.. of cause I will..."Mr. John ( standing behind me) is my boss

Mun Hoe (beside me with brown shirt) is my supervisor

Alice, the one who search room for me

Jazz & Me

Jane & Me

Mei & Me

Mr. SY Chim (Chairman) & Me

Shawn & Me

I don't know why hair dropped down and nobody tell me... argh....

ok.. back to topic...
they also invited Mr. Jeremy Peh, a quite well-known magician in Singapore who attended "Zhong Yi Da Ge Da" show and also some Taiwanese Variety Show...
the magic show was really amazing because we got to see it lively and kept us jaw-opened on how he made it...
a magic has its own trick..
next, the lucky draw session...
30 prizes to be won by 100+ people...

and to my suprise, I got myself a $50 Tang Vouncher...$50 Tang Voucher

it was really a suprise because I didn't hear my number being called out but my colleague urging me to go up...
all the while, we thought that the 1st prize was the LG Plasma 32' Tv but in the end, it was a iPhone...
the lady who won it was a damn lucky one...
and there was a section when everyone in the ballroom got up and danced together..
it was really fun because it shown me how a united company it is and that's the key to make the company to grow stronger and stronger...
our dinner ended at 12am and so, I had to take a cab back..
but actually, I already planned to take a cab back because my legs were aching...

the next happy moment was on 30th May...
the was a Circle Line Party in Bishan MRT Circle Line Station..
and the main purpose of the Party was that Jeanette would be having an appearance with Xiang Yun, Pierre Perng and Dai Yang Tian...
so, as a hardcore fan of HER...
we went to Bishan MRT at 9.15am though the event starts at 11am...
ok.. i know that it sounds crazy but this was to guarantee ourselves a better view of her...
while waiting for the casts to be there, again, we mingled around with Jeaniuses..
and there was a guy who was super annoying..
kept on telling us that he love Jacky Cheung and he was imitating him...
imitating his dressing, his hairstyle and he spoke in Cantonese..
he talked non-stop and so SS ("syok sendiri")
what the hell.. super annoying...
stop grumbling about that weird guy...
suddenly Eudora gave us (me & Pat) bearbrick keychains...
she told us that it was given by JEANETTE for those who atended the gathering in March...
both of us were like," WHAT?! JEANETTE??OMG!!"
so thoughtful of her to buy something for us...
wahahahahha... ok.. i'm getting high now..
then, there was a game where the host impose a question and the selected people need answer it..
so, I was choosen to go for the game because we got to take back a autographed poster and got a chance take picture with the cast..
I was kind of suprise that I would raise my hand to go up stage and answer the question..
I made a blunder on myself because I couldn't answer the correct one but the host hepled...
the moment has come and we were shouting like mad...
"OU XUAN, OU XUAN, OU XUAN!!"
did I mention that I was not feeling well that time???
yeah.. I had flu and a slight sore throat..
so the shoutings jammed up my voice box...
hahaha...
then,they have sarong catwalk and Pierre did the ronggeng again...
hahaha...
next, was the time to go up stage and take picture with them..
there were 4 Jeaniuses being selected and all of us were wearing the fanclub shirt..
so, I was the 3rd to go up...
when I was shaking hand with Pierre, he asked me, " Are u from the same school as them??(pointing at the previous 2 Jeaniuses)"
then, I was like,"Huh?!?!(Blur look)"
Jeanette who was beside me and Pierre, helped me by saying, "Yeah, she is from the same school.."
my blur look even blur-er and we posed for the phototaking...
after that, Jeanette continued by saying, " She is from my school.. hahaha..."
then 3 of us laughed..
and before I walked away, I said," Yeah, I'm from her school.."
her school meaning JUS = Jeanette University of Singapore... hahahahahaha...
the next Jeanius, Pat were told by Pierre that," It was a nice shirt.."
then Nette proudly said that it was designed by herself...
it was really a funny conversations with Pierre and Nette..
after that, we went for lunch with Jeaniuses in Pastamania in Junction 8..

Pat & I didn't eat because we have another lunch date with Fiona who would be meeting us in Clarke Quay for Bak Kut Teh...
the Bak Kut Teh was totally different from Malaysia one because they were more peppery and don't have the herbs smell..
I like the peppery flavour and the bak kut really soft..
worth trying...
after that we went to Liang Court to see the light clay...
just walking around there...
so we went to Chinatown for more food...
when we were there, Felicia Chin, Pornsak and Quan Yi Feng were there too, doing some promotion thingy...
we managed to hear Quan Yi Feng and Felicia sang..
not bad for both of them...
then, we walked around in the complex...
suddenly Fiona wanted to have a haircut...
so, we waited for her there and we didn't waste our time sitting there..
we snapped and snapped pictures...
all the crazy and un-glam pictures...
next, Fiona recommended Koi Cafe's Bubble Tea...
it was really nice and u can order according to your own preferable sweetness...
and we walked around the whole Chinatown..
kind of fun to see so many souvenirs there...
there is a air-conditioned Chinese temple in the middle of Chinatown...
nicely decorated and well-architected (got such word?? haha)..
Pat suddenly craved for satay and the tour-guide-of-the-day, Fiona brought us to Lau Pa Sat somewhere near there for satay...
the whole street was closed for the satay stalls...
imagine that...hahaha...
the satay was really nice, juicy and tender..
i like the kacang kuah...
can have a try too... but I don't really know the exact stall that i tried.. hehe...
suddenly, I felt a few drop of rain and we quickly saved our satay to the commercial building beside the street..
so, we had a so-called picnic in the pathway of the commercial building...
it was a new experience, though...
after eating, we walked to One Fullerton...
on the way, we took a lot of super un-glam pictures..
however, it was really fun and sweaty...
hahaha... like we were just went for a gym class...
at One Fullerton, there was so many people because of the Singapore Art Festival..
there was a performance called The Diamond there..
so, we stay tuned to watch it...
while waiting, we snapped and snapped pictures AGAIN...
hahahaha....
after the performance, we went to Esplanade taking pictures again...
yeah.. tonnes of picture we took that day...
and we also did a lot of walking too...
Fiona said we already browsed through the whole Central of Singapore...
before we headed home, we went for ais kacang because we were too hot...
need to do some chilling down...
so, that's our "SOT TOUR" in a day...

PS : Sorry for not uploading pictures because I didn't bring my pendrive and I was typing this in my office.. wahahhahaha... for pictures, go to my Facebook under Sot Tour... nyek nyek nyek nyek...
