Kelvin called me in the afternoon and told me to get tickets for this movie. I didnt have any idea what the movie was about and who acted.

But it turned out to be a great surprise!

Javier Bardem is such a good actor~ Kelvin said he met him in person years ago back in Paris. Guess where? At the loo of the cinema where it held the premier screening of his other movie. lol…

and Penelope Cruz is hot, hot, HOT!

and i like the soundtrack~ =)

this space had a high hit rate yesterday. guess everyone is looking out for this post.. hee..

 before i blog about the much anticipated event, i must say I HAVE NOT PERSPIRE THIS MUCH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! my god… the weather was atrocious. i was continously persipiring profusely~

9am on the Hippo Bus. They just love parading us~

THE ENTRANCE!! hee…

A long long walk into the ground prix…

Zenia & Anna..

Our temporary passes… =)

The audi cars for VIPs.. parking just outside of our tentage..

We had to wait in the tentage for the organizer to brief us and then headed out onto the tracks for rehearsal with our white pointy heels.

Can you imagine, they put us out in the hot 33 degrees sun for almost an hour! We were burnt man~ Walking to and forth the track so many times… I was assigned to the 20th grid which means longest walking distance! =(

Nevertheless, i was happy to be on track. Cause there’s one girl who was on stand by. which was weird since all 3 reserves were put on track. oh well…

We got back and started dolling up… Lunch was chicken rice!

I insisted on doing my own makeup.. haha…

emilia + me….

The tentage was getting really stuffy and humid and we decided to head out for some fresh air! Surprisingly, it was much better outside…

Our uniform for the 1st day… Anna + me + emilia..

Regine + me + Emilia…

Me + Jane.. our ‘mama-san’ who took care of us all these while.. =)

I think her name is sarah.. intern from singtel.. lucky her~

posing with the cap..

fooling around. compliments from singtel…

alright, all ready with heels!

And off we go for our duties @ 4+pm.. It was for the BWM race. We had to walk down the track, stand at the grid and hole the pole.. The weather was killing me! We stood there for like 15mins??

After which we headed back to the tentage and within 5 minutes, we were taken out again.. =(

My feet were giving way by then.. They just love to make us walk, walk and walk. We always take a big detour for our duties. This time, we were brought the podium building and were lined at the corridor. yup, we had to cheer and welcomed the winner of the race. The good thing was meeting the cute drivers~ lol… =pPp

everything ended around 6pm and we headed back to stamford house. We had to be in full uniform as we walked out of the ground prix and back to the hippo bus..

me + emi on the hippo bus back…

I stayed with Kelvin for the 2 days so as to ensure my punctuality.. lol…

After resting for a few hours, I headed out for my night event at MOS… A private MUMM party at the VIP lounge.. though we had to go around MOS as well…

you can see i was really tired… 11.30pm to 2.30am!

oh well, at least i saw the 98.7fm deejays as they were having their private party! lol…

On the race day itself, we reported at 11am and went through the whole routine again.. hippo bus, passes, security check, long walk in, tentage, lunch, makeup, hair…

our actual racing uniform. officially released on the race day itself.. we were wearing the other uniform for all previous events.. This is much nicer right!

me + anna..

me + emi…

me and zenia fooling with the zip.. lol…

After which we were got out to do the pre-races again.. total of 3 and i was assigned the last 2 races…

while we were queueing up at the security check point, michelle yeoh pass by us!! haha… and we saw some f1 drivers coming in too! The japanese driver is so cute~~

When i got back from the 3rd race, we had to get ready for the drivers parade… no time to rest.. =( my feet was aching like hell…

Alright, time to go go go!

The first 20 girls in line got to hold the poles at the cars.. while the rest of us formed a line to make way for the drivers… Anyway, i was first in line at the entrance, where all the drivers were standing there waiting.. lol.. i got to see all of them upfront..

After the parade, we headed to the starting line, getting ready for the walk-in..

Now, something shitty happened. the 20th driver couldnt make it in time on the tracks.

Which means i dont have to hold his nationality flag. which means i dont have to be on the tracks?

me and grabrielle were both disappointed and annoyed. i was damn pissed off. I felt like crying man.. Why did it had to happen at the very last minute!!!

We were standing at the side of the track watching the other girls positioning themselves…

Then the organizer hurriedly told us to walk in front of the top 3 girls!!! YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS??? We get to stand at the starting line!!! =D Together with the 3 flag barriers! Without having to go through all that on TV and how it rumored abt being rigid.. lol… omg.. indeed a blessing in disguise!

see, im there.. hee…

It was the most wonderful experience! Definitely breath-taking. Overlooking 38 girls in front carrying the flags walking in 2 straight lines down the track.. Having hundreds of spotlights and flashes shining on us…

Casey.. and me on the far right.. lol..

Alexandra… and me on the far left.. flipping my hair.. lol..

Looks great right! Try spotting me… hee.

Well, i was told by my friends that they saw me on tv.. but i realised it was my side view while star sports interviewed alexandra… i didnt know i was captured in the screen as well man.. damn.. i dont think i was posing nor smiling.. hai.. can someone tell me what was i doing? I think i was actually looking at her being interviewed…

After the long 50 minutes of standing and smiling, we finally got off the track and headed back to the tentage.. yes, we weren’t allowed to stay and watch the race.. =(

And off they go~

Back at the tentage, we had our dinner and head off to the podium building to be on stand by… Managed to catch the last bit of the race on TV…

I was lined first at the entrance door where the drivers would come in from! They were so sweaty.. haha.. Lewis came in when a shock on his face! He looked up at me and give me a big wide smile! omg…. he’s so cute lah~ like a small boy… lol…

Alright, that’s the end of the night race… Alonso won it right.. Ferrari is just pure bad luck…

While waiting for the hippo bus, we grabbed the chance to take photos with the organizer…

See how popular he is! haha…

he’s kinda cute and good looking yeah.. haha..

shots from padang!

awesome~

zouk party @ padang..

u can hardly spot singaporeans.. maybe 1 out of 50? guess everyone went home to sleep. =X

great music man!

I didnt go home.. I joined kelvin.. hee..

edwin went over too after his vip guests went off…

wheeehheee~

we went over to forbidden city under michael’s invite..

we all look tired…

sissy act.. lol..

but he kept us waiting for too long… we splitted after 1 drink… too tired~ by the way, i saw the tag “Reserved for McLaren Team”.. my gosh, i wanted to stay to see if lewis is coming.. maybe micheal was getting them over and tt’s y the long wait… haha….

That’s all folks. 2008 Formula One Singapore Ground Prix.

I seriously can’t wait for 2009! though im still recovering now.. realli tiring…

but still, I love the adrenaline rush on the track. *hearts*

It’s a great experience for me.. and i met so many friends…

Especially Emilia! YES, babe! You!! I guess the best thing that came out of this whole “shitty” thing is our friendship~ Thanks for the company throughout all the waiting time! And not forgetting our gossips and bitching.. Luv you babe! =D *hugs*

just a quick and short post!

hot weather.. lots of walking in 4″ pointy.. probably burnt.. heat stroke maybe.

feet aching like hell…

got another event job later… god bless my feet~

i’ll be holding the nationality flag for the 20th grid position + the 1st girl in line when the girls leave the track.. Spot me if you can.

jeanine travelled to tanjong pagar market alone.

Fish maw mee sua in claypot… =D

smooth, soft and a tinge of bouncy. marvellous~

Chendol from Aunty Annie’s Peanut Ice Kachang… The shaved ice are like snow.. melts in your mouth.. rich coconut milk and thick coconut sugar syrup.. perfect!

Her necklace and bangles..

Poltrona cheated me!!! *sobs*

They claimed that Massa and Kimi (Ferrari F1 drivers) will grace the event. Well, they did. BUT they went at 4PM and not 6.30PM.. boo~

I rejected other jobs to attend the event, hoping to take a photo with them.. And in the end… boo…. anyway, i saw andrea fonseka!

Poltrona Fraud is a top notch italian furniture brand.. their outlet is at Purvis Street and everyone was standing by the street.. so cool huh… i like the burstling feel!

The display shop~

It was nice to see Kelvin Ang there~ haha.. the “kelvin”s…

They rented another shophouse down the street and converted to a party place. SO COOOOOL!~

i LUUURRVE it!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

on a happier note, we settled for dinner at Kuriya cause we were already half-full from the tapas, desserts and champagne.

Though i craved for onion bread, i doubt i can take it with lamp chops~

seasonal Salmon roe with japanese yam.. (i lovve it! so fresh and sweet~)

guess what this is?

remove the cover and over-turn it as a bowl~

it’s teapot soup!! =D there’s fish, mushroom and prawn.. the soup is so refreshing~

Sashimi~

koezuka recommended flat fish..

otoro, topshell and my fave Uni.. hee..

I chose a nice pretty cup for the sake.. haha.. Koezuka recommended us a good bottle of sake.. it’s named “young pretty lady”.. lol.. extremely dry and refreshing sweet~

Koezuka specially preapred this uni sushi for me! hee.. love it~

the bones of flat fish were deep-fried..

how can we miss out handmade soba~ haha.. well, i was feeling very full already.. was expecting a much smaller portion though… i still went ahead with it.. can’t resist..

Kuriya surprised me with this:

wheewee~ haha… this is so lovely! it’s made of ice~

they served my fave. honeydew, peach, grapes & persimmon..*sweets*

though i was extremely full… i had to force myself to finish up the fruits…

indeed we got some free food. lol.. the salmon roe, uni sushi and fruits were complimentary.. but the bottle of sake alone cost us $120.. and the flat fish was $85… (-_-)”

I sure do better make-up than the makeup artists for singtel.. =pPp

This is so WAYANG right~ =(

THEIR makeup nv fails to disappoint me~ *sobs*

Emi + Regine.. (that’s me and emi’s “fave” couch.. haha)

If you’re wondering what’s going on….

yes.. it’s the Singtel Grid Girls. We were called down for the Pre-F1 Race Party @ White Rabbit.

Reported @ 3.30pm, did our makeup, hair and changed into the aunty uniforms..

And off we go @ 5.15pm…

On the HIPPO bus!! omg~ haha… it’s the virgin ride for most of us~ So excited!

Look how excited the girls are.. busy cam-whoring~

We had very good weather and it was windy too~ =)

i still hate my makeup.. Emi got nice silver eyeshadow..

i dont her name + Huiling (sweet babe!)

I hate my hair too!

this is super un-glam lah.. now u see how strong the wind got.. lol..

Outside of White Rabbit!

Jac, Shiqi, Casey, Emi…

Emi + me in the toilet.. haha.. the lighting there is good!

Emi + her bbf!

together together..

another try~

And there it goes.. my camera batt went flat! =(

And the start of misery! They made us LINE THE ROAD!!~ From white rabbit which is at one end of dempsy, all the way to dempsy village itself~

It was dark when we start our duties and they didnt tell us where we should stand~ “Oh, there’s masking tape along the road with your names.” It was so ridiculous lah~ We had a tough time spotting the masking tapes man. I ended up walking to and forth a few times. MY FEET were giving way MAN~ 4 inch pointy…

Worse still, i was the last girl. I stood at the valet parking near Hacinda~ That’s freaking far away lor… Nevertheless, i managed to direct the way to a VVVIP. haha…

Anyway, during the party, we were told to mingle around and there was a “fashion show” to showcase us to everyone. Finally they are introducing us as “The 47 Grid Girls”.. It has always been 44.. I’m wondering if anyone notice it…

Me + Vincent.. (My sleepy eye.. haix)

The peeps from Mumm Champagne. And also, yes yes, Kelvin and Edwin came.. haha..

It would be a really fun night if it hadnt been for lining the road, which exhuasted me badly… The ball of my feet is aching so much now… Hopefully, they dont make us walk too much on sat and sun…

I NEED A FOOT MASSAGE!! =(

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i’m heading out to an event with Kelvin later.

Dresscode: Italian Chic.

I have asbolutely no idea what to wear!

Thinking of a black kimono maxi + slippers. lol… maybe i should go grab a pair of jewelled sandals…

Else my lovely green dress with black stockings…

We would probably be having my birthday dinner after the event too…

Morton’s or Kuriya???

I wanted Morton’s.. but Kelvin suggested Kuriya.. (you know, such situation always happens. he always want it his way. although i can stand firm with what i want but i usually go with the flow. hai.)

I understand that it might be a good chance for getting a discount or free food! haha.. nah, that’s not the point…

Morton’s is too much of high class fine dining and could easily hit more than $300.. well.. i’m craving for the onion bread and lamp chops…

But Kuriya… we often patronize them.. unless Keozuka has some special stuffs for us… the last trip there was kinda disappointing..

oh well… we shall see..

this is rubbish!!! I just received the schedule for Formula One. They said they will hire us for the FULL 3 DAYS!

But now, it’s only 27th and 28th~

I’m freaking annoyed~ that’s alot of $$ down the drain you know!~ And i pushed away my other jobs somemore… ARGH~ FU*K!

now i can only choose between french lessons or pattern drafting classes… =(

I’m currently obsessed with L’oreal HIP – High Intensity Pigments.
It’s a series of make-up that’s not released in Singapore. (hopefully it will be, soon.)

My first product from them is the HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner. As it’s name says, high intensity. It’s the blackest eyeliner i ever had man. Really really BLACK. And i love it! but it wears off over time and turns me into panda eyes. =(

so i only use it for events when i put on fake lashes. somehow, it doesnt wear off. (o_o)”

I had a chance to browse through their eyeshadow series… And i’m particular loving these shades:

Aren’t they lovely! The colors look so bright and rich just from the photos~

I’m gonna buy them when i get my pay! =pPp

Updates @ Frenchfleurs!

I just received an unexpected call. Not exactly unexpected though..

We have know each other for many years and it’s a friendship that I don’t really wish to keep in contact. I don’t really want to be reminded of the past. However, his jovious and hilarous personality somehow doesnt catch my unwillingness. Despite all that sarcastic and mean remarks. But i always laugh like mad whenever he calls me.. Maybe it’s the gulit in me that tells me not be ruthless.

He called to check if i’m available on my birthday. He tried to offer his company if Kelvin wasn’t free for me. I told him straight that he isn’t next in line.

I know he’s someone who I can never shake off for my whole life. Unless I change my number and keep it away from him. But still, he knows my house number!!

He’s a Mr. Nice Guy.. but he’s NOT my cup of tea. And i hope never will be.

i recklessly purchased a 4″ killer pointed heels @ $40+ for Formula One…

my acceptability for heights have seem to increase over time… I used to wear only 3″ high. but now, 3″ doesn’t have much effects for me.. 4″ is my new love. =)

well, if i’m able to pull through the 3 days in the pointed 4″ killer w/o spraining my ankle or breaking my legs, i would probably throw in some $$ to get a 5″ killer from Aldo. lol…

———————————————————

im glad that mid-terms are over. most importantly, media history and theories mid-term is over! hopefully, i should be able to make the passing mark. =X

term break is full of slacking, watching tv, formula one & frenchfleurs. i ought to be making some time out for catching up on readings.. tons of readings not done yet…

and of course, i should start doing some baking~

but that is if i managed to pack my room and dig the corners to see if i’m in luck to find any money. =P

im procrastinating again.. as usual… a lazy Sunday.

I’ve got an assignment due, 3 mid-terms to study and tons of stress over frenchfleurs’ sales…

Kelvin says i’ve got a tendency to pack and overload myself with everything. Guess it’s true..

*Guilts* my group mate just emailed about the project.. she’s doing all the editing and i’ve yet to get started wth my part. =X

i’m kinda mesmerized by all the pretty macarons photos and recipes.. Feel like baking some all of a sudden..

Lavender macarons from Mad Baker.

Macarons from Pierre Hermes…

Macarons from Laduree…

Pierre Hermes and Laduree have ought to be baking the best maracons. However, according to Kelvin, they are just tourist gimmicks.. The real good ones are the old and unheard of. There’s one near the 7th district where an old grandma bakes huge ones, bigger than palm size and taste really good. 

I’m definitely gonna laid my fingers on them when i visit France…
Je peux manager les macarons!

—————————————————–

The month of September is all about speed, babes and champagne: Formula One!

Did a Phillip Morris Acelerat8 Party @ St James on Friday night…

I hate baring my high forehead but no choice… =(

I was “guarding” the game stations… They were just simple games of pairs and puzzles. It was so tiring repeating the instructions of the games for 5 hours!

Abigail was at the simulator and she gave it a try…

Race it on babe!

I tried out too….

Well, it wasnt’ that fun… It was 90% computer-controlled. I very much preferred the simulator i played at M.U.M Champagne event. Some of the guys who raced were perspiring mad though it was only 2 laps. lol..

me + angie.. she’s such a hot babe! cute + gorgeous + sexy = what evey woman wants.

did u see a resemblance in my makeup and the one in Pouf?
I didnt do it on my own… I’m bad at doing smokey eyes and Zee added a few magical touch..
somehow it appears similar ya.. haha…

after the whole event ended, i stood by the bridge that links from vivo to st james, waiting for kelvin to pick me up.. While i was busy on my mobile, a weird guy can near me and said, “Hi, can i know you?”

It scared me hell lot and i give him a digusted look and walk away. I called Kelvin immediately and told him to speed up!

i’m still thinking whether i should celebrate my 21st…

thought of having a party @ Helipad but there are some limitations..
ok, it seems to be the best choice so far..

what if nobody turns up? =(

—————————————–

i missed 2 pop quizzes for one of my modules..
something tells me that i might end up re-taking the module next semster.

history is my weakness.

how will i be able to pass media history and theories?

—————————————–

it’s kinda depressing…
been juggling work and school..
no news from castings…

stomach hasn’t been good these few days…

it’s been a long time since me and kelvin went on a date, a proper date…

i need some happy pops! (*-*)!

I’m sure we have all notice lots of peering jacks on the trains and buses. And we dislike them as well especially when we want some privacy in reading our papers/magazines or doing our work.

Though I extremely detest it, but I’m guilty of being one too. Particularly when a photo or headline catches my attention. On the bus home last night, the girl who sat next to me was sniffing and trembling badly. I realized she was weeping while reading her messages on the phone. My guess? Her boyfriend probably broke up with her.

I was slipping in my ice-lemon tea, trying to act as if I didn’t know anything. And I was hesitating if I should offer her some tissue. Meanwhile trying to peer over and see what’s in the sms. But her Samsung flip-phone screen was too small.

After much attempts, I saw the sms she sent to her friend. Saying she’s probably not gonna go online as she’s feeling very down and emo. She probably wants to just sulk alone and she’ll be alright. Ending off with a smiley face. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally hit on the ‘send’ button.

Oh well, it’s so obvious that she wants company.

——————————————————–

Castings, castings.. Please confirm me for jobs…

I need moo-lah$…
