Departmental Dinner

It has been such a long break since my last blog, more than a month! Here's the latest update on the event that I joined recently. My department came out with such a creative idea of organising Live Band performance, originally participated by the staffs from my department! Actually this had been iniatiated for more than a month ago. After one month plus of practice with my band, the performance came to reality on 29th November 2007 with 3 other great bands! I guess we all had to perform in front of a crowd of maybe 600+ people, well I forgot the number, but it was a good experience. I was the vocalist in the band, and this time I was singing the type of songs that I don't usually do. We aimed to really rock the event and did 2 rock tunes, with the last song being The Best Damn Thing (originally from Avril Lavigne) but we replaced the word 'Damn' with 'Grand' due to sensitivity issues. The musicians had a rough time on the stage especially the main guitarist and drummer. The guitarist had his guitar connection to the speakers cut off in the middle, but thank God he managed to plugged it back on time. And the drummer... man... hats off to him for staying calm and steady when one of the toms fell off! He had the bass flowing, and snare rolling as he fixed the tom! They all did such a great job! Oh, did I also mention that I had another team who was involved in Fashion Runway? We had to come out with design of our own. Not only that, we also had to handmake it ourselves! Hmm, not like I had any experience in this at all :P But we managed to pop the design out eventually. Here some pics of the event. More to come after I get pics from other cameraman, I did not take any pics with my own cam that night, was too busy running around :S

Double Standard

We had some appreciation meal at KFC today after church. J and I both ordered a large mashed potatoes. As usual, the gravy pre-packed with the mashed potatoes was very limited. So by the time we munched half of the mashed potatoes, the gravy was all gone into our tummies. Both of us wanted more of the gravy, so the lazy me just requested J to ask for it. He came back with no change on the container, nothing more or less.
PF: Eh, what happened?
J : The fella says finish already.
PF: Kenot be... sure got more in the kitchen! Lemme try :P

So I aimed for the male assistants this time! With a polite smile, I requested for it
PF : Hello, ada lagi tak gravy ni? Susah nak makan dah kering ni..
KFC: Oh sure. Kitchen ada lagi

A few seconds later another male staff approached me and offered to help me refill the gravy. He got into kitchen and came out with a full-filled of gravy and with a polite smile too!

HAHA... double standard for females... so be it... :P

Prison Break... where is it heading to?

OH NO!!! Sara... my favourite character in Prison Break is GONE!!! This is totally unbelievable, how could they have the main character of PB killed? URGH...! I loved her character so much. Well, she's a mom now... not sure who was really the one making the decision to quit playing Sara in the series. It's quite contradicting, rumors are saying that it was Sarah Wayne Callies (SWC) who made the call, but French sources are reporting SWC saying this, "Yes, but I didn’t have the choice. I’m sad, but it’s just show business", and "I’ll just say this. I am sorry to let down the viewers. I have loved the support Sara Tancredi got from them. and though she was a victim of her own destiny, I liked how she made decisions by herself. But the way things ended up couldn’t have been foreseen. Again, I was deceived by the decision."

Nobody outside the PB crew really knows the truth... Sigh, it's just disappointing that this very significant character is just gone like that. It's also ridiculous how Sara got killed. Why would the bad guys wanna kill her so fast? It's just too fast! I know everybody is hoping that the head was fake, but up till now, the director or SWC herself ain't hinting anything on reviving Sara's character. I wonder if this series will be halted this season? Will Michael find his new love again? If he does within this season, then it's a cheapskate series. After all Sara had done for him, how her Dad got murdered and all, he just finds a new love? Hmm... I personally wouldn't wanna see that in this season. That's just too fast!

G-day (for Greenday?)

This is my theme song for now. Well, I have liked this song since it was first released back at 2 years ago. The MV is also one of my favourites! Now this song is back in this phase of my life with another significance... hmm, 'why' u may ask... Hmm, doesn't matter why, one person will know why :P Anyway, here's the MV, enjoy ;-)

Intel Idol

Ok, I was really disappointed and frustrated with the results from Intel Idol last Friday. That's because the results really did not make sense! The judges were sitting there for nothing good but just to write down the marks of the contestants' performances. They never uttered a single word to comment on the contestants' singing at all, and by the end of it, some unexpected results (of course very political) just popped out. Even those who obviously sang out of tune got to the top 3. Oikz... enough of frustration, sometimes we just have to face the reality, politics is everywhere, just live with it!

Hmm, since quite a number of friends asked for the pics, I'll show you some! Hee~

Posing before going on stage

The stage was all mine for a moment!

The Mak(s) both in finals!

'Bloody' Day 2

Remember I told you about the bad experience I had from the blood donation? Well, I thought I wanted to take back my words for complaining bout the 'hanging scissors' case because it seemed that my arm was perfectly fine. No bruise nothing. Alas, I underestimated it! The effect really showed only after 3 days! The bruise started to show since yesterday, and this is what it looks like today:

I hope there won't be a 'Bloody Day 3' :P

Oh by the way, I think I did not clarify that the speculation I mentioned on blood donation are actually not true. Sorry if I caused anyone of you to misunderstand. I was merely sharing out some rumours that I hear from grandma stories. Donating blood is actually a healthy thing to do. But please do not overdo it. Always watch your hemoglobin and health level before going for it!

Finale, Was It That Grand?

Finally this is the day of Intel Idol Finals. Hot yet a fun day. Great experience to be performing in front of the crowd. Interesting to dress myself up in ways that I have never done before. Confusedly not understanding the results. Not because I am not the winner, but there are other contestants who did better than the top 3. Speechless and puzzled. Singing is a fun thing to do! Nothing much to blog about this competition for now...
