I am very 'into' Stars Award and I am kind of disappointed with the one this year. :(
Anyway, this is my take on ways to secure an award.
(if you really want to/desperate for it/just need one to keep going in the media industry)

Disclaimer : Please take it with a pinch of salt okay.


HOW TO SECURE AN AWARD :

1.) Go for roles with scenes that most people don't want.
Example : Rape scenes
Joanne Peh did just that at The little Nyonya and she secured a Best Actress and Top 10 Award. It was really her night yesterday although I still thought that perhaps someone else deserved it more.



2.) Go for sickly people roles.
Example: Chen Han Wei
He took on the role of a person inflicted with Aids, lots of sad scenes, crying scene and happy ending in the end. And he went home a happy man last night with the Top10 award. With a very annoying repeated thank you speech of " 等我，不要那麽快做神仙". -.-

And sick people don't have to say their lines well, they can stammer... and it would be considered good.


3.) Go for these pretty boys role.
Wait, I correct myself ...that is if you are handsome/pretty enough okay. If people comment that you look like Steven Lim, I advice you to go for comedy roles instead.
Example : Dai Yang Tian
He acted in the little nyonya (which was already a big hooha show), and he got a pretty good role, plus he's pretty good looking so therefore he scored. He went home with a Best newcomer award, and I'm like whatever! Other newcomers deserved better.



And lastly to secure a award, GO FOR GOOD DRAMAS. Like apparently the little nyonya (which is good due to the promotions leading to popularity.) Like how can a show that can have different ending be good. you must be kidding. The script writer must be kidding. Everyone in mediacorp must be kidding.

And there's what? A peranakan ball muscial coming up. Wow.
Foreigners amazed, when singaporeans aren't. That's something new.



(TO BE CONTINUED)

I don't want to owe this post for 3 months, so here goes.

This is W45F 's gathering and a really awaited gathering.
Thank you Yu Han and Eileen for planning.

There will definitely be changes around, but I'm glad our friendship remains. Had a fun day out at West Coast, although our sea view were replaced with cargo view. Haha! And our cycling ended up with Poker games and chit chats. But at least we managed to catch up in a way or another.

Glad to see almost all of the Kukus . It has been really a long time.








I enjoyed myself.
Love you people!

I am very busy, I know I shouldn't be blogging but...


its the birthday of a dear friend,
and I have done this for quite some time ... so here goes :





You said 7 is a lucky number to wish someone, so I've wished you 7 times already on the video. You are now 19th! , older and hopefully a lot more wiser. May you always be overflowing with thankfulness for what life has to bring for you.


Hope we like the pre-celebrated birthday, and enjoy yourself on the day itself! (:
Have a smashing birthday!

God bless.

Your very nice friend,
Deb! (:

Coming home early was a wise decision.

I had time to spend with my brother. He was snacking on my chips when I came home and he gave me the super amused look when I entered the room screaming "HELLO I AM HOME" at the top of my voice because its so not me. I would usually first snatch the chips.

Then followed by a series of funny things we do. I think Stephen Chow influenced us a lot. We are like imitations of him now and then that I think the parents cannot stand it anymore.

We were in such a good mood that we even web cam together for my cousin. And this don't always happen...because I don't always like to let him use my laptop. He don't take care of things! This was also one of the rarest time I've seen my brother playing around in an amusing manner.

We were having so much fun while pillow fighting that we split a coke on the floor. My dear brother was blamed because he held on the pillow. Haha! And amazingly we didn't argued about whose fault it was but cleared it up together.

Before he slept I went over.. and said " I love you , Godwin"
And he gave me a look before saying " Lick my ass" and we started laughing again.

What a night!((:

I mentioned earlier that I was anticipating May ❤

Revealing three weeks of excitement first :

First Week

• Anticipating the baby

Doctors mentioned that the baby would be due around the first week of May. I am really looking forward to this baby. My heart always feel amaze when I see a new life delivered to earth. I'm sure the baby would add much joy to the family. (:

• May 1 - Labor Day Visitation.

This is something our church started last year. I love to name it "May Day Operation". Sounds cool right (: Last year turnout was awesome, I hope this year will be the same or better. Anyway, last year, I mentioned visiting an old lady that had such an impact on me..she passed away. Thank God I was able to hear her share and shake her hands.

• May 2nd - Irene and Qingwen's Wedding

Another thing I am looking forward too. Weddings are beautiful occasions, being invited to go there and soak up the atmosphere makes me feel so excited. I always have a secret love for wedding vows and I love it when the wedding gown brushes against the red carpet.

2nd Week

• May 6th - My brother's birthday

Actually I don't really anticipate this..but the thought of my brother growing up again brings me overwhelming emotions. He is now no longer the baby that I have to baby sit at home for and has slowly become one of my closest friend when he is feeling normal. (: I enjoyed seeing his transition from a baby to a boy...and hopefully when he becomes a man and being a part of it (: He's 16 soon! Time flies.

• May 8th, 9th - Sunday School Teacher Retreat

The topic for this for single woman I think...(we only have one male in the teacher's group). And Fel, Xuan and Ping jie will be there so it should be quite fun @ downtown east. Maybe we can "fellowship" again at night or go do some manicures together. :D Like leader's retreat last month!

• May 13th - I'm not saying
• Mother's Day

My cousin in law upgrade to be a mother for the first year, so I believe there will be a celebration for all the mummies together...and I'm looking forward to get together and lots of good food. Promise lots of pictures as well! Let me count : 4 mummies. :D

Then on April I would have:

1. 20th to 22nd - Recruitment. (this is so exciting)
2. 20th- CCC briefing
3. 25th- Surprise!
4. 27th- Freshmen Welcome Tea
5. 29th- TP Freshmen Welcome Tea

and lots of FYP meetings.
collecting of my online orders.
arranging meet ups with people.

and busy feeling happy that I'm busy. ((:

I am so upset that UNIQLO doesn't carry my size for the design I want.

I was so in love with the design that I opt to get the kids version. But because the fitting room formed a long queue and I am a lazy and impatient person, I decided to trust my own eyes. I look at the shirt and believe I will fit and bought it!

So I am very thankful that I can fit into Kids version, Size 150! :)
I love the colors of the tee-shirts but I still seriously think that UNIQLO is very overrated.

I conclude that Saturdays without band makes me feel incomplete.

Although I would love to be able to sleep in on Saturdays, have a bit more time to myself before I head out to church, I still feel a bit weird. It has been 3 months and I have still yet to be accustom to the new changes around.

Is it because it has been routine for years?
Or is it because I am not flexible to change?

Whatever it is, I still cannot help but steal glances occasionally at my clock, hoping that the time would tick away faster.

I'm looking forward to May. (:

UPDATE :



First Post:




After I read this on my retarded friend blog, I am so inspired to write my own too.

I believe everyone would have their own fair share of silly aspirations..but these are also the things that keeps us going.



When I was in Pre-School and Kindergarten, I wanted to be a fairy or Cinderella in the modern world. This is so because my pre-school teacher at Tumble Tots and PAP told me a lot of stories and I really love the happy ending. I lived in my own world believing that a prince charming exist and would sweep me off my feet when the time is right. I only realize that this is so not going to happen when I was Primary 3.

Then when I was in Primary school where things were still innocent, I wanted to be a teacher. At that time, being a teacher was a very prestigious job. But that thought ended when one of my teacher commented that I was as stupid as a pig. From that moment on, I dislike curly hair teachers and amazingly she was the only curly hair teacher I ever had up till now. Then I wanted to be a Principal because I want to sack off such teachers and had a very impressive vision for students to attain the best.

But then again, there was once I was caught for something I don't remember and had to stand in front of the office for 2 hours..and my principal just listened to one side of the story and gave me a Beta form. ( A Beta form is something to record misbehavior) Then I wanted to be the highest rank person in MOE. I wanted to kick off all these unreasonable educators that are harming the society.

-

As I went on to secondary school life, I got addicted to the books in the library and aspire to be a bestselling novel writer/ inspirational speaker, wishing that I would never get writer's block. But then , the idea faded away quickly as it came.



Then I wanted to be a song-writer. I hope some leading artiste would sing the songs I penned. Therefore, I always sit near the piano trying to find inspirations that obviously doesn't work. Then I realize I didn't really like Mando-pop because its all about love, break up and etc. No meaning!

At a certain point of time, I admire the more popular people in school and I aspire to be popular/ 2nd Bill Gates. No specific job scope but just to let people know that actually I exist. Then I realize it isn't important because those that matters already knew of my existence...and those that don't, they don't matter too.


Being a prefect, I got to go for many events, and thus got acquainted to Dickson, our school photographer.I started meddling with DSLR and my love for capturing images through my eyes began...and I wanted to be a wedding photographer or be a wedding planner when I grow up because I love happy occasion.

And after O levels, while Pang Cheng told me of his aspirations to set up a business, I aspire to hold a leading position in Marketing in his company but I so think this is so not going to happen already. If you see what he has written in the picture above. So fickle minded. :(



I even dream of myself having an office job, 9-5, happy family and nice car to drive.
-

Now that I am in Polytechnic...of course I go for things in my course. But that are simply too many to choose. At first I wanted to be Journalist, but after the internship, I think its really too hectic and simply not be. Besides, I don't like people to swear at me.

Then I thought of advertising, but then again..this industry is not really big either. So I gave up the idea after 2 months. It was the shortest aspiration I ever had.

At a certain month, we had some Deejay recruitment and I thought of going because I want to meet those artiste and famous people at my workplace now and then. I think I told Pang Cheng before. But because I fear too much and I figure I won't really like the timings and the way the job is expose to the public... I had some doubts.

A few months before, as I figure out what courses to choose, I thought of becoming a PR therefore I opt to major in it. I don't have any doubts about this now but I am not sure about it though. I cannot see myself in that job just yet.

And before the Holidays, when I got called from SMRT, I thought HR was rather good. But after working I realized I am so wrong and I gave up that idea after a month. HR is bad! :(

Then I have also thought of going into full time ministry in the campus but I haven't heard anything till now so yup, that is something on hold.



But one idea that I had and lingered for the longest time is that I want a job that mingles with children and youth. I don't know what I am looking at just yet but I believe God has his plans. :D I want a job that I love and will be happy doing.


I want to be a TAITAI. Mahjong's, High Tea and Parties.
-

I used to think that we need cool jobs to have cool friends.
But now I realized that I'm cool because all my friends are. (:


See..my cool friends :








What's your silly aspiration?
Share one with me leh!


P/S : I still wish I could drive. I hate the wait for transports.
P/S: Maybe I should be a actress, then I can do all I aspire to be. (:

I set my alarm at 8am yesterday, hoping that I'll be up early so that I can get a blog post up, take my own sweet time to do the mandatory and watch some television to relax before the mock driving test.

Ever since I knew I had to do the test today by hook or by crook, I've been feeling extremely nervous and excited at the same time. I always love mock exams - it gives off the same pressure but there's going to be second chance (the real test).

I woke up feel jittery, so afraid of the outcome later.....

I feel like munching on LAYS,

play some movies and watch it through the night!


BUT IT'S 11:30PM NOW! WHERE CAN I FIND A DVD SHOP?! :(:(



No wonder my driving instructor like to say I "欠扁"
He calls me the "欠扁 QUEEN".
I always do weird things at weird time.


PS : Mock driving test tomorrow.
PS : Sniper. I wanna watch Sniper. I still love Edison.

It is definitely once in a blue moon that my dad would enter NTUC to do marketing. And I just had to capture down this rare moment that makes me feel so blessed.

And the buying, washing and cooking of this dish requires the combined efforts of both the mom and the dad. All I have to do is to eat, which is pretty much in my favor. (:



I just had to give such an expressions because my dad took me on rounds and my sandals decided to give way at the exact moment when I was feel irritated due to the long wait. NTUC isn't exactly a very nice place to shop in either. I don't like to squeeze with the crowds.


Here's dear dad trying to make a choice. If its me, I would just grab...but dad actually took the effort to stand there to choose carefully to ensure that the crab is a good one (tasty in this context). He took 15 minutes just to make a choice.

When I eat the crab, I'm reminded of his effort. HAHA! :D



Oh and you all see the plastic he's holding. I didn't know they had different plastics for crabs. Initially I took the normal thin plastic that you would see commonly at NTUC but dad says that is too thin, the crab has sharp points. After some time of discussing and all, WE SAW THE BIG PLASTIC RIGHT BESIDE SPECIALLY FOR THE CRAB! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I cannot help but really laugh out loud at that time.

Then being kaypoh Singaporeans, a group of people walked over trying to see what's so interesting.



Mom cooked the crab for us at home. In my memory, my dad cook the best crabs...but my mom...HAHA. I have some doubts. And I had even more doubts after our conversation....

D: Mommy you sure you know?
M: Ya, I thought of how to cook it when I sleep
D: HUH! -,-

SLEEP ALSO CAN GET IDEA ON HOW TO COOK CRAB AH! :0

The end product.

Really not bad leh!

Maybe next time if I got a lot to think about, I would guess go to sleep and I would know the answers. Sounds like some show from TVB. Next time when my mother sleep I will tell her what I want to eat so that she will dream of how to cook it... then I can eat.


Here's my mother loyal supporter. No matter what she cooks, my dad will just show this...

"Thumbs up"
This is why my mother is so motivated to cook and explore cookery.
She got someone to eat for her!!!!!

I love my dad for being like this! Family bliss!




WAIT, and that is not all...... apart from the crab that he got us once in a blue moon, HE GOT ME A PAIR OF FLATS TOO YOU KNOW.

My dad seldom buys such stuff for me.
AND HE KNOWS MY FEET SIZE, SO AMAZING.


When I got the flats, I was so excited that I send my mom this message:

Dad got me new flats *winks*.

And to make sure no one hinted him my size, I asked him in the car when he picked me up.
D: You know my feet size
Dad: *Irritated look* 4 lah!


When my dad does stuffs like that, I feel so loved.

I found out today that my dad knows me even when I think he doesn't.

PS: 4 is a dangerous size. Sometimes, its too big. I have to remind my dad to get me 3 and a half next time if there is.


:D:D:D

My grandfather. Everybody...waves your pom pom and say with me " welcome, aloha, bonjour, hello!" He is a very shy man and the most adorable man of the family.

I don't think I ever had his picture up before because he don't really like taking photos. But here's one, freshly out from the camera (:




I love my grandfather.

I love being retarded. I love me.

and I love God.


What about you?

& I am very addicted to my [ Royal Embroidery Workshop ].


In one of the scene, the main female lead was in a lost situation - her husband died, sister hated her, family in lots of trouble and issues...and she said "爸爸， 你在天上看到我嗎？請你告訴我下一步該怎樣走。"

Sometimes, we are so lost that we forgot that God is there, and he oversees everything. All he ask from us, is that little faith that we have in him

((:

Hi, my name is 餓鬼.

Nice to meet you.



It's feel so bad to be looking at food when your stomach is rumbling to be fed. And the worse part is, you've to wait an hour for food. Therefore today, I am not me, I am 餓鬼.

Food samples will do too. (;


/shake heads.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 3 MEALS A DAY?
I had only 1 today. Oh man!

Accompanied my Aunt for her doctor's appointment today at CGH.

It's one of the few times I heard my Aunt voice out her worries and fears of being at the doctors. I'd never knew that visiting the doctor can be so scary especially when you are older. And it was one of those times, I really stop and take a close look at her to realize how much older she have grown.

For today, she had to undergo a treadmill test to see if her heart is functioning fine and I guess that was one of her burden because she had complain of pain at the heart area earlier this year. And then we had to wait for a what-seem-forever, 90 minutes before the doctor come over to read the result.

Although the wait was a little unbearable considering the fact that we are both impatient, it was a fine time spent chatting and listening...and it was the first time ever that I poured out some "burdens" that I had inside of me to her.

I miss those time I get to cling on to her like a teddy bear when I sleep and when I always ask her " 大姨, I'm your favorite right? " Sometimes, I still need that bit of assurance. And obviously I miss squeezing near dear Priscilla and telling her everything that is being bottled up. It's been long since I've done that.

I miss being that small girl.
And I'm scared of the doctors. I hate it when they bring bad news.

But thank God, all is fine. My Aunt doesn't have to go back for checkup at the hospital anymore. Praying that my Uncle diabetes will be well under control as well. It must feel very bad to be sick. :( Yet all I can do for them is providing them with company as they visit the doctor.

I am limited. :(
