amazing race asia season 2 - the finale

the final episode is here. 3 teams left to compete for the 1st prize of 100,000 US dollars.

they are:

marc and rovilson, from phillipines

adrian and colin, from singapore

pamela and vanessa, from malaysia

paula and natasha got eliminated. they came in fifth. no more eye candy. =(

so let me announce the results.

3rd place...

they were first initially. but at the last road block, rovilson dun recognise the flags of countries. so wasted for them, cos they were the favourites to win the competition. wat i like most about them is they bring lots of entertainment to the show, and they always mention to the audience that they are from phillipines, by hanging their country's flag on their backpacks throughout every single episode.

2nd:

they were so happy that they won the filipinos.

finally... in 1st place

after travelling 10 countries, 15 cities and 51,534km, adrian and colin are the champions of amazing race asia season 2! some more they got the home ground advantage, because the final destination of the race was at singapore.

seeing them running excitedly to the finishing point, and the jubilation on their faces, my eyes start to wet a bit. this season of amazing race asia is really a very good season.

eugene and yilun's wedding!

i noe the both of them in jc.

yilun was my classmate in cg 25/00.

eugene was in ava. btw yilun was in ava too. eugene was the chairman, and yilun was the secretary.

they got together in 2001. 7 years later, which is now, they got married. so sweet isnt it? feel so happy for them! :)

both of them are christians, so the wedding is held at this city harvest church in jurong, which is so damn far. thankfully kelvin fetch me and lailai to the place, and even fetch me back home too. thanks kelvin!

yilun look stunning in her wedding gown, and eugene look very smart, handsome and dashing. the ceremony was quite lovely. i like the part when they showcase a video clip of their photos. i always like watching this when i go for wedding dinners or ceremonies. nx time when i get married i want my photo collection to be a happening one to showcase to my guests. haha...

eugene is quite funny during the ceremony, as always.

this sentence from him is the best:

"thank you for coming to my FIRST wedding... "

hahahahaha... wat is this man. does that mean you have more weddings to come?

upon realising his mistake:

"sorry sorry, LAST wedding!"

then he keep bowing his head apologetically to yilun. damn funny.

after the wedding ceremony, we have a lunch reception. the food is fabulous!

me, lailai and kelvin. the three of us are named as 3 musketeers in the class.

photos of everyone, which dun have the bride and bridegroom. haha. once i get them will post them up soon. :)

v day!

i remembered last year's v day was quite chui.

that day got dance rehearsal at night. me and darling went out in the afternoon, watched just follow law, and had valentine's dinner at billy bomber, which doesnt taste fantastic at all. then we rush to ucc for the dance rehearsal. i am sure everyone's morale was freaking low on that day, especially the dancers who are attached.

this year was so much better. me and darling agreed that eating at the restaurants is damn bloody expensive, and everywhere is filled with lots of pple. we just want a quiet place where we can spend quality time together. so kevii hall room five zero four is the place! :)

after ending my lessons at 430, i rush to harbourfront to source for nice food to da bao back. i chose to da bao pasta from pastamania, and a raspberry valentine cake from bread talk.

inside the room, we off the lights, light up a candle, and eat our yummy pasta. you may think is a bit 凄惨, but we are enjoying every moment of it. and then after eating, we heard a knock on the door. feeling a bit surprised, yueting went to open it. outside the door stood jessica alba, holding a swenson ice-cream cake in her hand! so sweet of her!

jessica alba has been very nice to my darling. always buying nice food for darling to eat. i no need to worry about darling's 饮食生活 knowing jessica alba is always around. but at the same time, i am thankful that she is not a guy, otherwise i will feel damn jealous.

anyway thank you jessica for the lovely cake! its very nice! nicer than the cake i bought from bread talk! :p

i prepared a very nice photo album for darling as a v day present. inside i place the sweet pics that we took together. and then i bought some stickers from mini toons, darling also bought some stickers too, and we decorate the album together using these stickers and magic inks. it was a very artistic v day for both of us. sweet and memorable too!

happy v day darling! i am sure there are many v days in future for us to celebrate! i love you... :)

cny perf photos

cj7

compared to the previous movies, this movie has less corny jokes, and is more 温馨.

most importantly, in all stephen chow movies where stephen chow will always take the most A.A (attract attention) role, this time round, he has let two characters shine more brightly than him.

they are:

长江 7 号, the very cute alien that looks like tele-tubby, which has magical healing powers.

and a child prodigy, future star in the making

the most amazing thing is that "he" is actually a girl.

dun believe?

scroll down.

another thing i like about this movie is that it inculcates alot of correct moral values.

"我们虽然穷，但不去偷，不去抢，穷也要穷的有志气."

CJ7, thumbs up!

---------------------------------------------------------

finally the cny holidays are over. =(

everything starts all over again the next day.

lessons, dance practises, rehearsals...

the only good thing to look forward for next week is valentine's day.

the valentine's day gift for darling is in the midst of preparation. hope she will like it. =)

大年初一

putting the traumatising incident behind, i changed into my new year clothes and went to 拜年 with my family.

first i went to my grandparents' house. have a yummy lunch and played alot with my little cute cousins.

at night we went to straits kitchen at grand hyatt hotel for dinner. its a family gathering for the relatives of my mum's side. the food was wonderful! they have food of the four different races in singapore! i had satay and mutton curry from the muslim section; scallops, chilli crab, chicken rice, buddha jump over the wall from the chinese section; masala prawns and tandori chicken from the indian section; finally a generous amount of nonya kueh and cakes from the dessert section. eat until my stomach want to burst already.

i collected a total of 400+ bucks for hongbao money. the hongbaos that my parents, grandparents and uncles/aunties gave me i still got take. only my older cousins who are already married gave me hongbaos, i will politely refuse, cos i am now working and earning my own money. but they still insist in giving me, cos they say in their eyes i am still their little cousin. haha... =p

the next few days will be packed! tomorrow going to darling's house. sat going to fengyi's house for tcc (tank commander course) gathering. and then after that going to watch movie with darling. sun going to baozhen's house for jc class gathering. =)

i love cny!

friendster message from the ark

this morning, on the 初一 of cny, something shocked me.

i received a friendster message from the ark. btw the ark is wooden boat.

the message is in accordance to my "xqrj 2008" blog post.

the message goes like this:

hi!

Thx for ur feedback!

Terribly sorry if you felt bored.

Since you agreed that the Emcees are no good, you should understand why we have to promote during our performance slot, cos the Emcees did not help us announce our info clearly to the audience.

Furthermore, didn't Music Forest did more promotion the whole nite? They had so many items.

The "wooden boat" have supported XQRJ since their 1st year. Hope you can respect our efforts in promoting XQRJ as well as for "wooden boat". We are helping each other.

Regards.

-------------------------------------------------------

well, of course i do respect their efforts in promoting xqrj. and i do realise the importance of this 唇亡齿寒 relationship between xqrj and wooden boat.

but this is just my my honest feedback as a member of the audience, and i appreciate it that wooden boat respect my feedback.

anyway different pple will have different points of view. there will be others who had enjoyed the performance.

now the most scary thing is that how they noe i am the owner of my blog. this is indeed quite traumatising.

shopping with darling!

went to far east plaza and heeren.

darling bought two tops and i bought a shirt! :)

we had dinner at this newly opened korean restaurant at far east. it is called su restaurant if i remembered correctly. the food is good! but we ordered too much already. its actually a set menu for 2 pax, but i think 4 pple go and eat is confirm sufficient. darling and i eat until stomach want to burst already, but still left lots of food! so wasteful!

the appetizer dishes

ginseng chicken soup

bbq-ed chicken and bbq-ed pork collar! the veggies are for us to wrap the bbq meat inside, then dip into the sauce, and put the whole thing into our mouth! taste damn shiok!

fabulous spread of food. and still got one more dish haven come yet, which is the stone grill rice!

after ages of eating and eating... until we cant eat anymore.

and that's the amount of food left over.

--------------------------------------------------------

finally tomorrow is cny eve! lessons will end at 1030! haha shiok.

i will be performing wushu tomorrow leh! in front of my kids and colleagues! so exciting. hopefully wun have any cock ups. :p

xqrj 2008

if i want to blog every single detail of the above mentioned event, i am sure it will take the whole night. anyway those who were there had witnessed it for themselves.

seeing my darling cry so badly really pains my heart.

but there are some particular things that i really wish to say.

1, do not use the same emcees for next year. they really ruin the whole show.

2, do not get the wooden boat pple to sing too many songs. one song is ok. more than that is really making majority of the audience sick and tired. and bored. bored of their singing. and bored of the publicity they keep making.

3, i think that some of the seniors are quite irritating. every single cock up that happened, they will mock and joke about it. if my wushu juniors make mistakes during performances or my takraw juniors producing unforced errors during ihg matches, i will be very disappointed and put on a very grim face.

anyway the whole event is over. there is no need to point accusations at anyone. i think the most important thing is to rectify the mistakes that had been made, and make sure that these mistakes wun happen again in future xqrj performances.

kudos to darling and her team of x10s who make this production come true. its really not easy to organise such a major production, with so much money, sweat, tears and blood being used.

darling, even if the whole world crashes on you, i will be the first person to protect you, and let the whole world crash on me first. dun be too sad ok? i will always be there for you, and love you all i can.

to darling and the x10 pple, do have a good rest.
