Singapore Blog Awards 2011

My exams are finally over!
Or at least for now,gotta go back to school still. Collect results and continue for the next exams coming in September.
So here we go,in the blogging community,we have the Singapore Blog Awards happening last Saturday at Shanghai Dolly. Never win any awards,but I was nevertheless proud to be one of the finalists. It's good enough for me,totally love the community and all the people I meet!

On my way to Shanghai Dolly,running late.

Me and cute guy,Conan.
He's there taking photos with Jing Long. Missed out taking photo with him. Shucks,I realise that that day,I didn't take much photos.

Guest of honour for the day was Major-General Mr Chan Chun Sing.
There were close to 300 bloggers that day,many whom I know and some finally met on that day. But still,a pity that I didn't take more pictures that day.

The ceremony proceeded very fast. Soon,all the winners of the categories were announced and were on-stage for photo-taking. Congrats to all of them,and also to some of my friends who won! There was a skit done on that day,but my shitty compact camera (didn't bring my dslr out) doesn't take nice photos in dark places.

Contest for the Best Dress award to the theme of Historic Figures.
From left to right: Pocahontas (our dear Clara who handmade her costume!), Cleopatra, Liang popo(Mint ah mint...), Cleopatra, Shepherd and his wife, Alexander Mcqueen (Eric), Marilyn Manson (someone's boyfriend), Wide-screen version of Dick Lee (thanks yongwei,thanks) and this oily fat who calls himself Michael Jackson. Who is actually Steven Lim in disguise.

Here's a video of the Best Dress Award going on:

Do watch at least 30 seconds of the video,its DAMN funny! Poor yongwei. See lah! Who ask you to bring your beer glass up,drink some more! Shall piak a photo of you here:
Drink,drank,drunk!


With dearest Mint! -big hugs- Her Liang Popo outfit really caught me by surprise. And of course,she won one of the two Best Dress Award! :D Yongwei behind trying to photobomb. Zzz.


With Chan Chun Sing,Joyce and Clara. He was really nice,walking around and taking photos with the bloggers! I must say,it was quite an interesting experience to interact with him.

With SuperDuperUber CHIO ttm Cherie (don't play play,she is Miss Singapore International 2011 2nd Runner-Up and Miss Body Beautiful!) and Darren. Congrats Darren for winning,totally love your shirt!
Me,Joyce,Samantha,Yongwei and Cherie

As much as we enjoyed ourselves,the event must still come to an end. As most of the people left,some of us stayed behind to take pictures as a whole group. Wheeeeeeeeeee!

At the end of the day,we are just funny people enjoying ourselves!
Thank you so much,omy.sg for the invitation. I'm very much looking forward to the one next year!

Some of the photos were taken with my camera,

Jia Qi's Mickey Mouse themed 21st Birthday Party!

Hello!
I haven't been updating this space for a very long time due to my busy schedule. Major exams coming up,gotta study really hard to prove myself you know. But once in a long while,I shouldn't stop myself from having fun,should I?

I was very much looking forward to one of The Cousins* birthday...
JIA QI!

Knowing she is an avid fan of Mickey & Minnie Mouse,she had put in a lot of effort to prepare her birthday party! The theme was mickey and minnie mouse,so we were suppose to dress up too.
Uber huge mickey mouse balloon greeted us when we entered the room.

I was very surprise at the extra mile she went just to make sure everyone enjoys themself at her party. LOOK AT THE FOOD AND SOFT DRINKS!
Yes,balloons that everyone helped to blew up too! Everything was painstakingly done up,printing of the our names on mickey mouse cards and labels. Every single thing made from scratch. So much effort put in,isn't it?

A photo with Jia Qi dear,she made this photoframe too!

While waiting for everyone to arrive,we all played Cluedo. Oh,you have no idea. We all were scribbling like hell and making clues to guess the murderer. Yes,if you are smart,you can guess who is holding onto what cards and finally guess the murderer. Smart,LIKE ME!
Cause I won once,or twice? I can't remember. HAHAHAHA!

Here's Ah Mel:
Know why is his expression like that? Cause he kena squeeze into the toilet to eat! LOL,even the toilet is very nice. Checkered tiles but the door's erm,kinda see through. It will sometimes slide itself open too,so you gotta actually someone to guard the door for you. Otherwise....


Here are The Cousins*! Weijie has yet to arrive...


Looking at all our act cute happy faces,I feel so blissful to have known them! A couple of years already,but counting on!

Finally,everyone has arrive. It was a very very very big crowd,
I think this is the best photo that I can find and has got everyone inside. Jia Qi was standing beside the camera man,which is our Ah Long taking this photo. Erm,yes. My face. Someone cheekily popped the party poppers before the given cue.

The birthday cake was very very sweet! Look at the design!


And cupcakes too. It is OMFG damn damn damn sweet and cute!
Well,birthday girl's gotta cut the cake now:
HAPPY 21ST BITRHDAY,JIA QI aka MEOWMY!

After everyone has given their gifts to Jia Qi,some went home while some stayed behind to chat. And balloon fight occurred...
Pre-balloon fight pose

LOL! Andy seem to look very happy! And well,I never really like balloons. Can say I'm pretty terrified of them in fact. I soon got off the bed while they continued the balloon fight.



I give up,must get out of the scene quickly.
And as the fight continues...




Everyone keep attacking Joyce! Poor Joyce,she got tired after awhile and just sat there letting the rest hit. Josh was in white overalls,earning the title Pappy man. LOL!

Nevertheless,a fun-filled night. I doze off to sleep at dawn,woke up several times to find the rest still up doing different things. I think one of those times,they talking about ghost stories. Like Genting,then someone was going "Yalor yalor! I heard that one level is totally isolated blah blah blah." HA! Seriously,it was a really fun party.

Checked out in the morning and headed to Mcdonald's for breakfast before going home.
I love The Cousins*,and happy birthday Jia Qi! :D

I wanna be the N.Emation Ambassador!

Let ME be the N.E.mation Ambassador!

Let my enthusiasm and optimism be the team's constant dose to orchestrate their creativity,imagination into real-life projections!

Why oh why?
You see,this competition is about these participating teams. It's not about me,it's about them and their passion for animation,ideas of total defence. What I am there for,is to encourage them and give them ideas/tips when they got stuck. In my idea of being the N.E.mation ambassador,I'm going to be there to help them. Like a host to a competion! Not that I'm the judge of course,but something more like a middle man sort of thing.

Can you believe it?
This boy on the moon fishing is probably the one of the many wonders a child could ever imagine.
Where is this place? It's so beautiful. Can I go to the moon as well?
Well,this is animation! Let all your dreams come true,your imagination come to life. With your creativity put injected into animation,it's going to be a beautiful piece of art!

The prizes are so attractive too. All you have to do is to let your creativity come to life,express your ideas of Total Defence through animation and let ME be here to guide you! This year's theme - NS: From Father to Son. It's not simple,but it isn't too hard either! I'm very much looking forward to become the N.E.mation Ambassador and be part of the process!

Domino's New Cheese Burst Crust in Singapore!

HELLO GUYS!
How's your day? Exciting? Boring? Well,it sure can't be as crazy as mine. To stay back in school and only reach home around evening time. My family would some times come back around this time and nobody has cooked dinner! Being in a good mood,the best choice would be?
To order delivery once in awhile and avoid the long queues at the restaurants!

PIZZA DELIVERY!
Yes,Domino's have a reputation around the world for their delivery of pizza within 30 minutes. Depending on the country,sometimes it may be up to 1 hour as well. But once they exceed what they promised you,you can be sure that they will make it up to you with another regular size pizza.

So last week,I was invited to go for food tasting at Domino's.
A welcome address by Mr Ba U Shan-Ting,
who's the Chief Operating officer of Domino's Pizza in Singapore and Malaysia.

Here's when I knew more about the background of Domino's pizza,where they have been operating for more than 50 years now. It began in the States and now,they are expanding more and more outlets.

The launch of the new pizza crust:
New Cheese Burst Crust
This thin crust with cheddar cheese sauce oozing out is the newest addition to the 3 crusts that is already on the menu. Cheese lovers should try this!

Giving us a demo on how the online delivery actually works,the pizzas will be made and 'delivered' to the store. Which actually means that the store that we're in will make the pizzas and serve it to our table.

So in the mean time,our actual dinner arrives first. We can decide what to do with the demo ones later.
Chilli Chic with Cheese Burst Crust
(Smoked Chicken Breast, Onion, Red Pepper, Chilli Flakes)

Top: Classic Pepperoni with Cheese Burst Crust
The all time favorite with generous portions of Beef Pepperoni and 100% Mozzarella Cheese
Bottom: Classy Chic with Cheese Burst Crust
(Smoked Chicken Breast, Chicken Sausage, Onion, Green Pepper, Ripe Olive)
Top: Extravaganzza with Cheese Burst Crust
(Beef Pepperoni, Cabanossi, Ground Beef, Fresh Onions, Green Pepper, Mushroom and Ripe Olives)
Bottom: Hawaiian Paradise with Cheese Burst Crust
(100% Mozzarella Cheese with Succulent Smoked Chicken Breast Turkey Ham and Juicy Pineapples)

See! William is so happy with the amount of cheese in the pizza!
Wahahahaha! I think I am too,pretty satisfied with the amount of cheese in it.

Their famous,MUST-TRY finger food. Chicken Crunchies Spicy Tom Yam and Onion rings. Sibei yummy,and don't forget the sauce!

Still remember our online order delivery?
The amazing thing is that you can actually track your order and see what stage is your pizza at on the process of getting delivered to your place! So the pizza we order earlier on is being delivered now. Brought out,hand out to us.

After our pizza dinner,we were actually brought to the kitchen in groups of 4 and actually allowed to tried making pizza! Here's the ones where we made for ourselves:
William,myself,Samantha and Jeanie
It's really amazing I tell you,I don't really think everyone has a chance everyday to get in there and try making a pizza themselves. The dough they used are right out of the freezer,plus it takes A LOT of skills to make the base of the pizza. Nevertheless,the bases we made are of course out of shape.
Then we learnt how to put the sauce,and the right amount of ingredients on it. So envious of William,his has got prawns in it! Mine's just the usuals of my favorite food. Which means all meat and no veggies,hee! :P

Tadah!
Made by Yours Truly,which I brought home and my family said that they were delicious. OF COURSE,I MADE IT. HELLO~
The awesome crew who came out and did a cheer for us. Not only that,they were the ones who taught me how to bake my pizza. I nearly destroyed my own pizza by NEARLY letting it slip onto the floor. WHEW. But I sure screamed loudly,so embarrassing.

Group photo with the rest of the bloggers

Nevertheless,I think I did a pretty good pizza.
Perhaps it's time to pick up a part time job and fill in the application form?
