Better Late Than Never

Better Late Than Never

Should have blogged days ago but I haven't... oh well, better late than never~ ;p
Oh, and I heard from some folks that they couldn't see any videos I posted, so from this blog entry onwards, I'll also be posting direct links to any videos I post, so that it's possible to click and view them...

Feeling Generous?
If you are, feel free to get me this poster~ (yeah, I really wud love to get this!)

It's like so uber-cool!

Happy Birthday YuRi!
Slightly late, but I'd like to wish YuRi (the Black Pearl) of SNSD a happy 19th birthday! She's my current fav member of the band (2nd tallest too), an actress-singer-dancer extraodinaire and she's actually 18 if we calculate the same way we count the ages of you and me...



Here's a fan-video someone did of her, I rather like it, even though it'd be even better if it was fully made out of clips (check out her dance moves)~

Here's a clip of her from episode 18 of Unstoppable Marriage (in which she plays a really adorable gurl who carries a pink mirror everywhere), done in time for her birthday~


Video Link

Here's a recent dance she did on a live show, ignore the annoying MC who repeatedly tried to cut her short~

Hope she stays crazy & cute (not forgetting continuing being a wonderful dancer). Hwaiting!

Black & Bling Gala
This was the grand nite everyone was waiting for... everyone's dressed up full of bling and glamor. I heard the MT staff said this event was different because this was for once, our very own. But I had to admit that I was one of those who had doubts about the event, and ended up enjoying it a lot. There were over a thousand people and it was helluva loud~







Too bad none of us could win any of the wonderful prizes... I really wanted to cart the 32" LG into the Juara... lol!



It was a fun nite indeed where I got to know lotsa new and interesting people, many of whom were tons of fun. Lotsa old friends and colleagues were there too, like Adrian, Ellie, Val, Lin, Angi, etc...






I was pretty excited when I heard a rumor that Carmen Soo was going to replace Amber Chia who couldn't attend, but even after it became clear that she wasn't coming (edit:apparently she WAS there!), I wasn't upset at all as I got to know Jodie, who's probably the most gorgeously sweet gurl I've ever met~



The most fun was when the event went on to full party mode and we all just partied all night long like crazy, complete with mad antics like tying thongs on heads,



spiked drinks (cos you just don't know what's in it when they ask you to finish it),




people getting high (lol look at Joseph)



and getting your drinks mixed up with someone else's (it was dark and I couldn't make out what was what and I had to "cover-line" as well). Yeah it was rilly dark!



Oh ya, one of my fav models, Sharon Yeoh was there too, but I didn't manage to meet her (but it didn't really matter now, rite?) Hopefully there'll be other chances...



Oh, and this is Lisa, dancing with Lee John. She's kinda cute, got to know her (well, hardly) towards the end of the party around 3am... too bad I was dizzy and worn out, couldn't dance with her... (feel bad now) ;p



Awesome Nite? You Bet!!! (I'm sure a lotta folks had hangovers too)

Genius Solution
A lot of work had to be done in preparation for Black & Bling, but the funniest has got to be the process of transporting the 800+ bags from our 3rd floor office down to Lower Ground. Using only yarn, we manage to slip them all down the conference room window. I'll let these videos and photos do the talking~

Party, GP, Dinner, Lunch, Party...

EDIT: By the way, my TAG is still on the page, except for some odd reason it's at the BOTTOM of the page...

Haven't been posting lately again... well, I've been busy, and at times, no mood to write. Oh well...

Living Launch Party
All the rush on that day was in order to make it to the Living section's re-launch... The party was ok, although I wish there was more food. Met alot of people, including people I've gone through interview before. There was plenty of music, chat, drinks and bottomless beer... There was tarot card reading, dances and a magic show. We'd enjoy more if we didn't have to take care of the reception counter most of the time... poor Val, she sure worked hard that night. Me and Calvin were exhausted too... Joseph pulak drink until 6 glasses (or was it lebih?) Sifu Alan cabut with Tony halfway into the party... Anyways, after the party, me and Zali had to greet and thank every person who came... Jessie was pretty happy with all we have done and treated us to 3 pans of assorted fancy food. Small fancy food... lol. Malar decided to belanja us after that at a nearby mamak. It sure ended late, with us going home in the wee hours of the morning...






A1 Grand Prix at Sepang I. Circuit
It was a wonderful event... We got the most expensive tickets to the A1GP, fully sponsored by the company. Honestly it was a lotta fun watching the A1GP, due to the colorfulness of the cars, as they were all colored according to the nations. The USA had the liveliest (and funniest) color scheme, with all the stars and stripes. If only they did better... hehe. Their pit crew looked so patriotic with the half stars and half stripes outfit. Their drivers wore suits that made them look like Captain America. Our Malaysian team did really well, finishing 5th out of the 25 cars... There was so much cheer, you'd probably think we won the race. Met Eleanor there, and Calvin. Joseph and Malar were there, but in a different seating place. It was so much fun, and would have been perfect if the car didn't overheat on the way back...











Farewell, Terence... Rashvin goes to Manila
Terence finally left Malaysian Today... One of the longest serving staff (and patient writer), he decided to move on to other things. Tony decided to give a 'thank you' farewell dinner for him as well as to celebrate Rashvin's adventure to Manila to cover the SEA Games. Btw, it was the first time they did a dinner in honour of someone leaving. It was a nice dinner, at Country Kitchen PJ, a nice Chinese restaurant... There were alot of tales of experiences and so on, and also alot of photo-taking. Me and Val had fun rotating the table with the digicam on it, recording a video. Hee hee... oh ya, and we were to wear t-shirts from the A1 Grand Prix we got the day before. Me, Val, Eleanor and Calvin. El didn't come, and Calvin didn't wear... so that leaves me and Val... apala.. lol!




Living Appreciation Lunch
Jessie held an Appreciation Lunch the next week, at Madam Kwan's in Suria KLCC. It was really nice, most of the staff came, and the food was excellent. I've always tried their asam laksa and char kway teow, so I decided to try the chicken chop this time. It was seriously good! As usual, me and Val were taking pics, and this time Calvin joined in too, recording videos as well... Subra datang, despite not coming for the Launch Party *shock!* After all is said and done, it's back to work... ha..ha...





Saturday Night Chill Time!
It was a last minute thingy, but me and Val managed to join in, although Calvin couldn't. El was there, as well as Farah, Imran, Jessie, Eliza, Lee John... well, basically alot of us were there. It was Mojo (correct spelling ar?) nearby Sheraton hotel in KL. It was a meet and party sorta do, and there were loads of drinks. You woundn't believe how much some of us can drink! Not to mention half of the drinks were stuff you couldn't make out (yeah it was dark!) There were a couple of billard games and lotsa dancing. And yeah, lotsa lotsa LOUD music! Ha..ha..ha... Nice to have fun once in a while, after all the stress of work. Went home really late in the morning (would've been later if I didn't need to wake up in the morning) and I think we had a really jolly time that nite...







Magical Day?
Oh well, that's the 'busy' life I've been going through lately... ha..ha... there sure has been lotsa fun stuff, which is good, cos work's been getting really hectic. Oh ya, there was this Harry Potter Magical Day thingy which Farah had an appearance. She smsed me about it an hour before it started, but I just couldn't make it due to the last minute-ness. She asked to pass it around to the Farahnatics, which I did, abut I wonder how many actually went. She called me the next day when I was at work, which surprised me really *hee hee* but it was really sweet of her to do so, and we talked about the event and I also asked her to take care, drink lotsa fluids and rest whenever she can (she wasn't well, flu). By the way, Mandy's birthday came on the 29th, although I wish I could do more, all I managed to do was wish her Happy Birthday on MSN. Do take care dear, you're a big girl now. Hee hee...

Okla, I think this post's really long liao. And I've included lotsa pictures because Val said she wants more pics instead of text... lol!
Oh well, PEACE and God Bless,
