I see you baby... shaking that Jazz....



Singapore Jazz Orchestra played delightful music that filled the air last night during the U-square open air concert @ SMU. The female vocalist was pretty good too! she seemed to sing very effortlessly. I believe her name's Melissa or Michelle or something. Haha.











After that Tan Kheng Hua, who was in school to give a little talk to some students, came over to frujch to have her later dinner! Frujch was closing actually, but they still managed to squeeze in her last order of a rosemary chicken sandwich!

heard she was really happy with the place, and she might wanna come back. woohoo!




I met Eunice during the U-square concert... she was just passing by cos apparently she was evacuated from her office building. Apparently there were earthquake tremors that caused the building to sway. And she was too scared to take a bus to the MRT station, so she decided to walk instead. Were there tremors?? according to the papers there were. How is it that EVERYTIME there were tremors, I did not feel a single thing!??! hmmm. maybe i'm naturally swaying or vibrating. Must be.
Last night i had such a nightmare. I dreamt that i was being chased all over the streets by people in cars who wanna kill me... I dunno why!!! sigh. It's not the 1st time i had such a dream! some time back i dreamt that i was chased by a vampire on rollerblades!! Geez. What do you make of this? Are these dreams trying to tell me something? besides the fact that i'm hot property? Muhahahaa.
Anyways that nightmare kept my mind busy all night, so now i'm feeling like i never slept at all. Ugh. YAWN.

The Artist in me?

What an exhausting 'Dance: East and West' class. It was rather slow, and boring at times. No offence to anyone... but how i wish there would be something to spice up the class... the presentations by the groups were fine... it was the videos that bored me out.

In fact i got so bored that i started sketching on a piece of rough paper. Didn't know why i drew what i drew... just felt like it. It isn't even complete.




Got me to reminisce the days when i used to draw caricatures of people... I used to be pretty good at it. In fact i used to keep a portfolio of the drawings... that i think i have misplaced by now. Haha. Well that's something i would wanna resume soon. The things i never wanna lose touch of:

1) Baking


2) Drawing


3) Tennis

However being a student in SMU AND a part-time host is really milking every second outta my life. I don't ever seem to have time to do all of the above-mentioned things. Can't wait to have holidays!!

oh and I just recorded my 2nd episode of my campus radio show just now~ pls support me if you can! tune in to SMU campus radio via http://www.smube.com/, every thursday 12 -1pm. make sure ure in VPN or sch network first!

4 shows in 4 days... ugh

Since thursday till yesterday (sunday), i'd been hosting non-stop. here are the events that i was busy with:


1st event, Thursday afternoon: Balls of Fury Movie Promotion event. Had a table tennis tournament going on at Jurong Entertainment Centre. Response was rather slow.. but i heard the weekend crowd was amazing. damn i missed it.




















2nd event, Friday evening: EVE, ACF Night 2007. the crowd was hard to get going, but warmed up eventually. Hosted my very own stage games... but didn't get to do my last one. Sigh. oh well. This event should be my last school event i'd host for this term.
















HAhaha merry's face tells it all!! the food was quite a letdown. Speaking of merry.. she's in Europe now.. lucky girl!! take care dear!














Wilson was so gone.


Old birds, anyone?





3rd event, Saturday: Tamagotchi event at Suntec City. I was like, WHUD?? Tamagotchi is still IN??? hahah amazing. But really, the idea of having a virtual pet with virtual poo (that requires a push of a button to clear up) is rather tempting.

So anyway just beside us there was an American Express Platinum Card roadshow going on, with various performances like kickboxing, yoga, and the caporeira dance as u can see from the video below. Quite a crowd pleaser i guess. Didn't really like their emcee though. Think he was a glorified Ah beng.










Met Malik and Charlene for dinner after the event... then while I and Malik were walking to the bus-stop on our way home, we saw fireworks coming from the National Museum! Coolness! hahaha. Sorry, cheap thrill.













4th Event: Ka-Ching!! $$$$ It was the final episode of the kids central show "Ka Ching" filmed at Vivo-City. I was there as a stage games host... just to play some games with the kids there. It was very fun!! And SOME of the kids were absolutely adorable! there were these 2 little girls who kept hanging around me. One even bought me jelly!! So cute...



















I was absolutely exhausted from all the shows... didn't help that some of the days i didn't really have good rest at all. But boy did i sleep well last night. haha. needed it lah i guess.

Picture Perfect.


















Sherms and I were just having some fun with my HP camera... started taking stupid shots again. hahaha there's one of my spastic looks. Doesn't it make you go, "Awwwwww shhooooo cuuuuteee..." Hahahah i'm like some kinda poor lost kid.
















And we realised that both of us are starting to look like each other.... proves the saying that couples will start to resemble each other after awhile.... hahah that'll make sherms a HANDSOME girl.... muahahaha oooh freaky.

Hey Mr DJ... Put the Record on...

Today marked my return to SMU campus Radio!! After a long 2 year break, i'm finally back in action again! It's my 1st time hosting a solo show though... not easy talking to urself at all!




Although I did get a little annoyed by the recording system that screwed up (causing me to re-record 2 timeS!!), it was an enjoyable experience. I hope i shed my DJ-ing rust as the weeks go by!

Hey do listen to my show when u can, ok?? The show name's "This Wacky World"... and in the show i'll talk about quirky stuff happening in the world. It's every thursday, 12 noon to 1pm! You can tune in to SMU Campus Radio via www.smube.com. Sorry only for SMU students, or at least those who can sneak their way into the SMU network. kekeke.

An extravangaza of moving bodies...

No it's not an orgy. I'm talking about the much anticipated Floorplay... the latest production of Burn the Floor. I watched the performance on saturday night with the 2 ladies in my life: Sherms and my mum. haha.

Well if i could put it simply, it was breathtaking. Entertaining from start to finish... wonder how the hell they could have sustain that awesome energy throughout the entire 2 hr long performance! Amazing.
The fun part was that they interacted with the audience! they came down from the stage to dance with those sitting at the stall seats. hahaha

I guess the guys were often half-naked and the girls were scantily clad for more than just igniting the hormones in the audience... it was to cool them down while dancing. I mean, i'm sure with all that exercise they would be perspiring like a pig. Wait, that's technically wrong. Pigs don't perspire. Okay.. perspire like a .... a... something that perspires a lot. Yeah. there we go.














Sherms and I had dinner at Ichiban Boshi before the performance... Nice food! reasonable prices too. Oh and yeah sherms made me try out her hat and glasses. Stylo-milo baby!! I looked damn retro lah. hahah







I'm inspired to dance now. Para-para Sakura, here i come!!








HELLLOOOOO ladies!

On 31st August, i hosted a staff luncheon (much like a dinner and dance, only that it's in the afternoon) @ Bliss Garden Restaurant (Singapore Expo) for Eileen's Childcare centre. As you could probably infer from the title of this entry, my audience was entirely consisted of the estrogen-dominant species. Yup. You must be thinking.... "WOW! lucky you, jonny!"... i assure you only a small handful caught my attention. hahha

anyway I was actually rather cool with the idea of hosting for them until I got to the restaurant VIP room itself. Have a look and u'll understand why.






Low and behold: the incredible booster of my melodic voice. A Karaoke System. geez.










Here's the room. 4 tables only. In one straight line! double geez!





Another one of my biggest fears did a number on me too. The crowd hardly understood English. They were mostly Chinese! *Lady scream in background*... So there i was speaking partially in chinese and english. Something that i was struggling with initially, but i managed to pull it off. I think it was mainly because they were just so amused by my mandarin.

Despite all the pernicious setbacks, i managed to conduct the games well, and got the crowd going. Well that's an understatement actually. I got the crowd screaming now and then. Hey you know the saying... "Girls, just wanna have fun... oh... girls, just wanna have fun... that's what they really waaaaannttt..." okay u get the point. They were really enjoying themselves!

At the end of everything, Mrs Tay (the boss of the company) thanked me and showed her gratitude of the job well done by giving me a big fat hug and a big fat paycheck as well. Hahaha for that moment in time it felt like i had a sugar mummy.

After getting some accolades from the crowd, i felt good about myself... When it seemed like my darkest hour, i pulled through. Pat on my back...
