Happiest Christmas!!!

I have never really celebrated Christmas, but spending it with my idol is the best! Thanks to my sis Jin, I got the chance to dine with Daniel during Christmas. The dinner was at myKTV in Mid Valley from 7pm to 8.30pm.

My sis and I were quite late when we arrived there, after buying some batteries for the camera (which we borrowed from our friend). While waiting for an 8TV staff to bring us in, Suddenly Daniel arrived and walked pass us. I called out his name, but he didn’t react, I guess he didn’t notice us. We were brought to a Karaoke room, quite big in size, with 2 levels and 2 section on each level. The was a huge OHP screen screen in front showing Daniel’s MV . I didn’t really finish watching it though, regret a bit.

Before Daniel came into the room, Auntie Paris introduce herself. It went on with the other fans. When Daniel came in, Everyone had their cameras ready and there were so many flashes. Daniel looked a bit blur in the beginning and seemed to not know where to stand, haha! He was ..cute of course, and his dressing was funky. It was so great just looking at him..hehee..

Daniel greeted us with his melt-you smiles and sweet voice! Then the questions and answers session began. Ssuet started the session by asking Daniel whether he was scared by the fans¡¯ reactions; grabbing his shirt, hands etc. Daniel admitted he was frightened. He hoped that fans would think of their own and his safety.

Then, it was Auntie Paris’ turn. She asked him whether he was scared to see her; the aunty who asked him whether he remembered her or not whenever she saw him. Daniel said that she was not the only one who did that! And he asked me whether she was one of the winners. She told him that in fact she had to thank Gymnast, because she pm her and asked her how to take part in this contest. Before she could help her, she tried to send in an entry and that’s how she won it! Then she congratulated him on the sales of his debut album hitting 15,000 copies and winning the Golden Disc Award. He was very happy!

Next, Jin asked Daniel about his trip to Taiwan and where he visited there. He replied ‘Tai Zhong’ and ‘Taipei’ and something else, I forgot. It was an experience that Daniel did not like to disclose much. Then I went on to question him about his friendship with Victor. He replied that he had known Victor through some competitions and had sometimes worked with him, like Victor singing and him playing the guitar. I sort of lost my mind and panicked when I asked the questions (coz I haven’t prepared for it) until the PA complained that questions should be asked about Daniel and not some one else! I also asked him about why he must oblige by the company’s directives. Daniel explained that the company is more experience in handling fans and other aspects. But sometimes he did try to lodge appeals! He emphasized that there is a mutual understanding between him and his record company. One thing that he told us was he didn’t really have the heart to release the song but since the company said that the song would make him popular, he agreed. I asked him what his favourite songs were, he replied the 1st as and 2nd fave is (2nd Childhood).

Another non-pinky asked the PA how she thought of Daniel. She replied that Daniel was very ‘gan cham’ because he was a perfectionist. Daniel admitted it. She said that Daniel would ask a lot of questions before finally agreeing to do something!


Jennifer then asked him about how he became the special guest in Jay’s concert. Daniel explained that just like us; he entered a competition & won the chance to meet Jay. During the meet, the participants were given the chance to show what they would show to their idol. He was brave enough to grab the chance and ended as Jay’s special guest.

“During the q-&-a session, I noticed tt Daniel tried very hard to put across the message that he had certain sets of rules to abide by and he sincerely hoped that fans would not misunderstand him. He is still the same old Daniel, the HUMBLE and GRATEFUL Daniel! Therefore, please try to understand that he is neither ‘action’ nor snobbish. We love him, we must TRUST him!” ~Auntie Paris.

Next come the Karaoke time. Daniel started off with , and when he started singing, almost everyone went to the front to take photos of him. Jin even took some videos. It was like the performance he often gave on stage, the difference is that we were close to him. Hah! After that, he sat down again, and answered some questions again. Then, played on the screen, he started singing while sitting (in front of the screen) and later stood up. And a non-pinkie Michelle asked him whether our camera flashes disturbs his performance. He said yes, and went on to elaborate, but at that time I took another photo of him (since he was close and was looking this way), which of course, gave him a surprise. It was naughty of me to play this joke…hope he didn’t mind.

Suddenly played on the screen but he said he didn’t really know how to sing. Somehow, he was standing nearby at that time and looking around, I asked him if he knows . He knew that I was asking him, but he didn’t catch my words. *Anyway, this is enough to flatter me! Haha!* Vivy, Winnie and ~Priscilla~ then sang <> with him. Next, <> !Though many joined in the singing, including me, it was really a different kind of experience to hear Daniel singing right in front! And guess what, though he was standing in the middle alley (with steps) in the beginning while singing, he gradually moved to the side… to MY side! Hahaha! I was rejoicing in my heart! He was actually so close to me that I could reach him just reaching out my hand! Hehe… A while later was played, Daniel wasn’t too familiar with the verse, but I managed to sing the 1st chorus with him, though, I was bad, I passed away the mic later.

Lastly, a duet between Daniel & Tong Tong (a non-Pinky) in the song ,<< Wu Ding>> , they were joined by ~Priscilla~ later. I wanted to join in, but I didn’t really know how to sing the front verse of the song, so I didn’t.

Next came the autograph session. Jin and I went to the 2nd level for that. Our album and single were signed already, so Daniel wrote our names on the booklets instead. We nearly forgot the present we had prepared for him (a neck tie). I took a photo with him first, then Jin took one with him, holding the present. Hmm.. now I know his height compared to mine…haha! For the rest of the time, we sat in our seats, talking or looking at Daniel who were behind and higher than us. I noticed his glass of watermelon juice (his fave) which wasn’t finished by half yet. (Jin wanted to take a photo of it, but the waiter took it away before she could do that. Hehe..)

Daniel left us, without eating, about 3 minutes before 8.30pm. He was to go to the next room for an interview with 8TV. Only then did we have our dinner which was served since the whole session started. Of course, it was cold. After taking some food, we talked a while with Auntie Paris and her daughter Yin, had her autograph, then took a photo with the Superstar guy Wei Jun and had his autograph. I was the last to leave. We went out of myKTV and took a photo with Auntie Paris and Yin.

Well, the whole session was an extraordinary experience. I enjoyed myself all the way, I tried to have my chance of speaking to Daniel. Though, now I regretted for asking him some unsuitable, sensitive and maybe “rude” questions, I really hope that he won’t keep in his heart. After all, I hope to leave a good impression in him and hopes that he would remember me, though I guess I may not be able to attend any of his gigs anymore. From this “dinner”, I gained a lot, besides meeting and chatting with Daniel (that’s the most important thing), I met some really nice people from Daniel Fans Club – Auntie Paris, Yin, Vivian… And got to meet Wei Jun too, hehe…

Anyway, I still hope that I have the chance to meet Daniel again. I will support him, as long as he supports his fans.


Thanks to Auntie Paris in DFC.

Pics of Penang tour [Day 2]

Yey! Da 9-Gal-Gang will create a history in Payar Island!


This is the group of us who succeeded in...no, not climbing the everest, but reaching the platform at the far end. Though we have life jackets, it was really tough for most of us, and only some of the girls (including me =D ) completed this 'task'. Hmm, no regrets for this visit to Payar Island!


Yoohoo! See us? Those in red lah.. Yeah! we reached our destination. If you think you see some white people in front of us, you are right. I really admire them (a father and his 3 girls) who swam without life jackets.


Oh no! The Jaws!!! Haha...after lunch, we saw some sharks nearby, about 10 metres from the shore. The staff was feeding them some fish.


The starwalk Carnival charity concert. These were some of the performers. Thank goodness we managed to arrive at PISA in time. Overall the show was quite enjoyable, except for the boria performance, which I didn't like.

Lady Luck is with her!!

I'm so so happy for my sister. I got so excited when I saw her name on the TV screen. Yes! It's for the contest to dine with Daniel on Christmas day! And she won! WOW!!! So lucky of her. So didn't really believe me when I said so that her name was there, since the list was blocked by advertisement.

But yeah, it was true, we got confirmation from the forum. Got to know that the winners can bring another person with them, but we don't wanna hope too much before we got the call from 8TV staff. If it's true, provided that our parents allow, this would be a super-duper Christmas present!!! YAHHOOOOO!!!

Daniel @ Mid Valley

Had some trouble planning for this trip. Theng decied not to go in the end, so my younger sis and I was sent to Mid Valley by our dad. *Paiseh a lot dad...*

We had trouble looking for Tower Records upon arrival, since MV is just too ENORMOUS! When we got there, there was already a long queue for the autograph session. From our situation about 15 metres away from the entrance, we couldn't see the happenings in there, but everyone knew the arrival of Daniel when the fans in front (obviously the Pinkies) screamed like hell. aAs the session went on, I got excited every second. I can still remember the view of him less than a metre away! Yikes! SO cute...and handsome! Haha! HE was really fast in the autograph procedure--signing his complicated signature, putting down his pen, shake hands with the fan, then hold his pen again to sign the next booklet (from the album). I had the booklet from the album, while my sis had the MI single signed. It was just a split moment of about 5 seconds, a bit too short, but my wish to see my idol right in front of my eye is fulfilled! Yeah!!!

We had a stroll in MV later after the about half-an-hour autograph session ended. It's so packed with people, that's why my parents never liked to come here, and so it's my sis's first time here. As a second timer, I brought her to Pet's Wonderland as both of us really liked small animals and pets. It was quite boring, as we didn't plan to buy anything. At around 5.30pm, my dad came (again) to fetch us back.

That was it, a nice memory, though I wonder why I'm not as excited as I thought I would be. Hmm...

Pics of my Penang Tour

1st day at the 'back' door--actually it's the main entrance of the apartment section of Vistana Hotel. Were waiting for the boys to go out for dinner at Gurney.



Our table of people at a seafood restaurant at Gurney Drive. 9 gals and 1 boy..hehee..



My gang and I at the restaurant.



Pui Yeng and I.



Seafood... all finished up by us. I took the fish head, hehe =P



Jane and I at the Gurney Drive. Was supposed to be a beautiful scene in the background, but looked darks here...



Fascinated by the huge Christmas tree in Gurney Plaza. Not actually... KLCC has the bigger, but this one was really beautiful.



That's us outside the Golden Screen Cinemas in Gurney Plaza. We were in the same place for more than 3 hours. Damn!

When will I see you again?

It's been 3 days since we came back from Penang, and I'm starting to miss the trip. I miss the apartment so much! Though it was a bit squeezy, but 9 girls sleeping in a room is also fun, hehee... We went to bed together, except for Kazeendra who kept pulling W Wei up to take photos...akakakaka! Then we wake up to see many people, girls I mean... different feeling as I didn't wake up to see the ceiling, but the girls around. And (I think) Li Ling was always the first one to wake up!

And the girls very kacau la... even Wei and Juen were very naughty. Along with Kazeendra they kept disturbing Jane and I who were sleeping in the bus on the way to Ipoh. I slept later than them, yet they kept making noise.

I remember the night where Shuwen, Li Ling and I were in the balcony. That was the only time I went out there to see the night view. Nothing much to see, just lights, but I liked it. Shuwen and I had trouble taking photos then, her hand, as well as mine, kept shaking causing the photos to be blur. Haha! That girl, she looks so nice and 'si wen' but she's actually so 3 8!

Jane was extraordinarily quiet during the trip. She slept everytime we were on the bus, that's normal, but she didn't fool around like she always did. She could even joke during exam period, but she didn't do that during our trip, sort of scared me. Thank god she return to her "normal" self on the 3rd day, she made fun a bit.

We loved messing around, throwing pillows, kicking and playing with the sea water. I miss the time when we sit in the little 'luggage' room, chatting and laughing away. Now I realise that it was a once-in-a-life-time thingy, I have no idea when I will get a chance with this group of friends again.

My dear friends, when will I see you again?...

Penang tour [Ke Lok Si, Golden Sand, Ipoh]

Day 3 (Dec 10)
Woke up at around 8-9am, and chatted in bed. Heard that the boys came back at 4 or 5am, so they must be sleeping. We decided to visit Ke Lok Si although the boys might not be interested. Finally we got to eat at around 12.30pm, it was lunch time. Had the Asam Laksa which seemed to be famous in Penang. Satisfaction, yummy. Luckily the whole group of us went to Ke Lok Si, and Hell'O the boys bought a lot of stuff! We even met 5S2 students there. Later, the driver took us to a shop where there were a lot of local goodies sold. Half the class bought the Tambun cookies and many other mouth-watering food. Guess that the driver definitely get a good comission for that. After that it was Golden Sand or Batu Ferringhi time. It wasa a wait again, as the 'organisers' were talking to the manager or staff about the price. Finally we got RM11 for Banana Boat and RM50 for the jetski. I took both rides, with the Banana Boat going first. It wasn't a 'success', since only 3 of 7 of us fell into the water, our pakat wasn't right. Haha. Then I took the jetski ride with Chooi Mun, where I was the driver. 1st time there, but I found SPEEDING really fun! HAHAHA! YAHOO! Though sometimes I was sort of scared and panick a little when we bounced high, I really did enjoy the excitement. I'm really sorry for C Mun who didn't have her turn to be the driver, coz we planned to take the driver seat half to half during the 20-minute period. She didn't mind though, and let me drive when I asked her whether to return to the shore to change driver. Thanks a lot to her for the chance.
After that, we had dinner at a food court nearby. We finally got to eat Fried Oyster, and it was really expensive (it was a tourist area). I had 'tie ban mian' which was quite tasty. We reached the hotel at 10 something, took our baths and sat down. Though our eyes were closing, we wanted to stay up till late coz it was our last night together. We ended up chatting in the small room again, with some of us half-sleeping. Even Jane Ley who went to bed got up just to join in our talk. We heard laughter from outside, so we also laughed out loud. This brought those people out there to stick in their heads to ask whether we heard some noise. Haha! It became a funny trick so we played it again. This kept us awake. Heehee... Finally at 3am we decided to 'hui zhou gong'. Kazeendra wanted to play the 'mummy and children' game, so we cooperated with her saying "Good Night" together and Pui Yeng as the mother said "Good Night, Children". Her her, funny game. We slept well till the next morning though I felt hot at one time.


Day 4 (Dec 11)
We checked out at around 9am, the boys as usual a little later. The driver dropped us near Komtar for the famous Cendol and Asam Laksa nearby. Didn't take any of that, instead we went into the market there and found a cheap yet tasty breakfast. The Ghee Hiang shop selling cookies was no where to be seen, so we hung around in Prangin Mall instead. I had a mission to search for Molecule Hair Saloon, it was where Victor used to work. Yes, I was crazy, like my friends said of me, but they went with me anyway. Reaching the bottom floor of the mall, I gave up searching, and went for an ice-cream in McD. Later when we went to the toilet, Jane went loitering nearby and wow, she found it! The 4 of us went to see it, but ooh, there was only one customer there. There was a man with curly long hair standing outside the saloon, I guessed he was the manager. Wei, as she said, took photos of the saloon, there was a flash and we quickly ran away! As if we were paparazzi! Haha! I didn't know she would really do that. It was almost time to gather and we proceeded to the outside of the mall.
The bus took off at around 1pm. I read the paper a bit before having a nap, but by that time Wei and the others were awaken and they disturbed Jane and I. Naughty people. We stopped at Ipoh nad guess what, the driver brought us to a shop to buy stuff again. He really wanted to make money lar. I secretly bought a packet of "sha qi ma". I even SMSed my cousin who was staying in Ipoh, and later got a call from him. *My sis said it sounds really funny that I would contact him.* The rest of the journey, we watched Chiken Little, it was so cute and funny that I couldn't help laughing from time to time.
We arrived back at Shell station shortly before 8pm, and took a farewell photo. And damn it, I left behind my sleeping bag there, Thank goodness Boon Yung saw it and brought it back home. Can't imagine how my mom would react if I really lost it.



That's our trip to Penang. It was such a great time, despite the obstacles that we met. I'm missing my friends including those who didn't join the trip, already. All the best, guys!
May you all be well and happy... Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!



Dec 13 2005 Tuesday 1.37am

Penang Tour [Gurney, Payar Island, Charity Concert]

Somehow I don't think it's actually a tour at all. It's more like a hang-out in Penang. We could have more activities, but the programmes weren't planned well, we ended up wasting a lot of time. Anyway, it was still a memorable trip.

Day 1 (Dec 8)
Our group of 30 classmates took off from the Shell station near our school at around 7.50am. We stopped shortly at Rawang rest station (whatever you call it) at 8.40am (coz the driver wanted to yam-char. duhh).. All the way on the bus, we watched 'White Chicks' and listened to songs. Everybody was up when we were over the Penang Bridge. I uess almost half the people were taking photos of the bridge and the sea. Kazeendra was photo-ing herself though, she never got bored with her camera. Haha. Unluckily, we discovered that the Driver wasn't familiar with the roads in Penang.I think the driver drove almost to Bayan Lepas but the Vistana Hotel was only about 10 minutes from the bridge. Yes, we were lost.
Before we entered our rooms or apaprtments, we went out for lunch around Bukit Jambul. My friends and I went to the food court in Kompleks Bukit Jambul. The place was quiet, not many people, I wonder if the food was okay. I got the answer when I ordered the asam laksa, which was tasteless, and didn't really fill my stomach. Despite that, the price was expensive. RM 2.50 for a yucky laksa. Damn. Later we hung around the 'theme park' on thesame floor, and had a car racing game with Jane, Wei and Juen.
In the apartment, we arranged our beds and luggage. At around 7pm, the girls were ready to go to Gurney Plaza. However we had to wait for the boys who only got down at 7.30pm. We spent our time for photos then. Our dinner was at a seafood restaurant near GP. Was a late dinner at 9.00pm at RM 20. Loved the fish and 'lala' or shellfish. Our table of friends managed to finish all the food. Haha!
Later, we had bought tickets for the movie 'Perhaps Love'. The movie was scheduled at 11.45pm, and yes, we had to wait for about 2 hours. It was so boring and tiring as there weren't any seats or benches to ease myself on. People were staring at us, wondering what a group of people were doing there squatting or sitting on the floor. The movie was quite good, Thank goodness I didn't fall asleep. After our movie ended, we had to wait almost an hour for those watching Narnia. It was almost 4am by the time we reach our hotel. We only had 2 hours sleep.


Day 2 (Dec 9)
Supposed to wake up at 6am, I woke up a little later as I didn't hear the alarm. Had some bread to ease our stomaches. We had to wait again for the ferry. I had a nap during the 'voyage' to Payar Island, and felt better on arrival on the island. We were provided with googles, 'webs' (whatever) and life jackets. The girls had a hard time adjusting the things and moving around in the water, while the boys were already half way in the middle of the reefs. I was kinda scraed when I see the reefs in the rocks, and knowing that the fish might knock or 'sting' us, I was even terrified. Some of my friends give up going to see the corals, whiel some others, with the help of the boys, went on to enjoy the underwater scene. I decided to go on, trying to put aside my fear. When I saw the first fish in the water, I was so excited! I didn't dare to swim alone to the platform which was at the end of the area, so I asked B Yung to accompany me. All the way, I couldn't see well since I'm short-sighted, but managed to see different corals and sea urchines (thank goodness I didn't step on them!). I had some trouble getting on top of the platform, but I felt so happy when I stood on it. Yeah! I made it! The other girls with me were Pui Yeng and Kazeendra. We were all so excited! Only then did I realise the wound on my legs caused by scratching the rocks and hard corals. Some were bleeding, same with the others. We returned to the shore for lunch, consisting of fried rice, chicken, fish and vege. There were also watermelon, water and Coke provided. After lunch, someone shouted that there were sharks and so we ran to check it out. It was true, there were 3 or more sharks swimming around 10m from the shore. *thank god they weren't there when I was in the water, as my legs were wounded.* They were about 1 metre long. The tour guide fed them some fish, and some people went into the water to catch photos. After the sharks left, i asked the boys down there to explore the sea cucumber around the rocks. Felix ended up being sprayed with some liquid excreted by the sea cucumber. Haha. Later, despite the pain in the wounds, Kazeendra and I along with Shuwen and Woan Wei and some other boys went on our 'mission' again, to reach the platform. the other girls were still scared, but they made it there. Yahoo! It really did feel great to be there. On the way to the shore, we were motioned to get away from an area where there was a jellyfish. So we got onto the floating platforms near the shore, and it was like a 'rescue' team helping us! Haha, so fun and funny! And to end that, we were safe from the jellyfish.
When we were to leave the place, the boat ferrying us the the main platformwas out of oil. another wait again. After getting on the ferry, we faced trouble getting seats as there were people who were sleeping on rows of seats, while some put there things on seats. They don't even let out the seats though they were looking at the group of us.

Back to Penang, we were stuck in a heavy traffic jam, which delayed our arrival back to the hotel, and of course our trip to Penang International Sports Arena for the Starwalk Carnival Charity Concert. I was worried for Daniellover who was waiting for me to give me the tickets. The group of eight ended up only 4 of us going to the concert, took some cup noodles. The taxi fare was RM 15 with only a 10 minutes journey to PISA, thanks to the bus driver who didn't want to send us there. Selfish guy who wants to save up his diesel money. Anyway, we arrived shortly before 8pm, And even managed to get rid of the unoccupied tickets--we sold them. The concert started at 8.10pm. Among the 4, I was the mpst excited one since I was the only MI fan. Now they know the crazy me. Firstly there was a band called 'Steel Guitar' or something performing, which was quite okay at first but I grew tired of it coz they only sing oldies. Then the first MI finalist, Vic Teo gave his performance of a Michael Jackson hit and Jay Chou's 'Fa Ru Xue'. His vocal was really good. There was Chan Kwok Fai [Astro Talent Quest Winner] doing 2 Chinese songs and Marilyana Omar [Bintang RTM 2004 finalist] with a Malay song and a hindi song. Jaclyn Victor took over the stage, and sent the arena to the highest point with 'Superstar' and 'Gemilang'. Her voice was so strong!
In between there were some lucky draw and auction. Then there was this boria group performing, which was so boring and annoying, with seemed to be everlasting...until we got fed up and felt like killing the so-called 'tukang karang'!!! Even Wei wanted to kick him away! GERAM! Anyway, next out was Victor Lee, my fave MI finalist. He presented a Leslie Cheung's Canto song, and a Madarin song by Du De Wei. I loved his voice, it sounds so nice, not boring at all, and so soothing! And he was so 'leng-chai'! Even Wei and Ley couldn't believe our behaviour, especially mine. Heehee... Next was Saiful, with 2 Malay songs followed my Eric Lim who sang an English song and a Chinese song. The last was of course Daniel, whom half of the audience was waiting for. He presented a mixed version of 'Mimpi' and 'Fei', and the song 'You Ji' / Organic Love. As usual, a hive of bees (fans) raced to the front to catch a better glimpse of him. After the concert, I went down to the VIP area to meet the Pinkies, but felt really uncomfortable there as I do not know many of them, and they don't know me. My friends and I went to a coffee shop opposite PISA and had a quite satisfying supper. Later, we decided to walk back to the hotel since it's not too far away. But I was really scared for it's already 12am when we were walking. It was such a big risk! There were some motorists who horned at us and 'greeted' us, I was really terrified! Thinking about it, I really feel thankful and lucky that I was back at the hotel safe and sound. When we got back, the other gal gang was there and we got to know that their taxi driver were also very scary and went a strange way to get to the hotel. Thank goodness they are safe too. All these trouble, thanks to the driver who didn't want to fetch us. A******!!!



[To be continued...]

Penang, here we come!

YEAH! The day I've been looking forward to for 2 months is finally round the corner!
It's the day for our class trip! To Penang! Wow... so much fun is expected even though I go to Penang every year. Moreover, there will be a charity concert consisting performances by my favourite Idols Daniel and Victor! It will be a really packed 4-day 3-night tour with my buddies.
Besides havng the fun, we all have to take care of ourselves and our safety. Let's have an enjoyable and safe trip!

Angel's tears

Do you realise that the Chinese artists these days have a common 'habit'--cry? Well, it's not that people are not allowed to cry, but why cry in the public?
It's so boring seeing artists cry especially during their concerts. For some of them, maybe it's the first time having concerts, yeah maybe crying for once or twice is okay. But then, crying in every one of their concert?? That's not touching anymore, in fact it is boring to me.I am the type who would rather see people smiling and laughing than draining thier eyes with tears or whatever transparent liquid they can put in their eyes. Why take to trouble? Concert and other achievement are better celebrated with joy and laughter. And it's not only the artists themselves are facing the pressure, don't forget the people who had strived to succeed the task. Everyone has put in their effort, it's the same working other white-collar people and other workers.
Well maybe this is just my opinion currently as I haven't really stepped into the working arena. I do have my crying times because of pressure, disappointment and failure, but I would often do it quietly.

Bravo Michael Bolton

Was at Genting last night for Michael Bolton's concert. Why him? I'm not a fan of his, but I really do enjoy his songs. The 'oldies' were very soothing.

In fact, I did not know more than half of the songs sang last night. Luckily I did manage to sing along during some songs like "To Love Somebody". The first part of the concert was quite ...not boring I should say, just that the songs were more of 'slow' songs, but were very sweet to the ear. I felt so comfortable listening and watching. When Michael went backstage for a break, the misucians took over and showed off their talents. It was so cool, especially the one playing percussion (if I'm not wrong).

Music started again, and Michael appeared from the audience! I wonder how he got there. Many people sitting below (VIP seats) got to shake hands with him. He was such a friendly person as he shook hands from the stage with the people who went to the front. Once he was even almost pulled off the stage by the many hands! By that time, even those sitting above were flowing down to the front of the stage to try their luck.

All through the concert, Michael had only changed once, with both the suits quite simple. That's something I liked about Western artists' concerts.The pay more attention on the music. In between the songs, There were some words delivered, with some humour inserted which won the audience's laughter (though I didn't catch some of the words).

The concert at the Arena of Stars started at 8 something and lasted for about two and a half hours. Overall, it was all so cool, I really did enjoy it!


Sunday Dec 4 2005 11.50pm

Darkness fell... now I see daylight again

It's officially over! I mean for the science stream candidates...those who don't take accountancy. we had our last paper which was english for Science and Technology, which we didn't quite study for that. Yes, after the Biology paper on Wednesday, we were almost all quite relaxed, since there wasn't really anything to revise for EST. Butthen, I found the EST paper quite tough, especially paper 1, the points were quite blur to me. anyway, for many of the papers, I didn't do quite well too, I can only hope for the best.

after the last paper, I was to return the SPBT books. However, we had to wait at the end of a long line, since we got to the APD Room much later (our classroom was the furthest away from there). suddenly, we saw Kazeendra and some others running towards the APD room, calling out "5S1 first! 5S1 first!" Oh! How thrilled we were! So we joined the line and ran with them. Might be a bit ridiculous, and the other class students might be a bit jealous, but who cares?1 it's the last day at school, we were overjoyed! HAHA!!!
Later Juen and I went to join our friends Theng, Wei and Jane in Kang Cheng. Had such a great time, watching TV while waiting for the food. had my first chance of using a tea set, quite fun! After lunch, we just sat in front of the TV again watching a drama, then talking and chatting for about an hour. It was so cool, because we haven't had anytime to do that for a few months already.
The feeling of freedom...

Reaching home at around 3pm, I took a nap for about 2 hours. Another cool thing. In the evening, I start with my diet programme... not really, just that I haven't exercised for around 2 months already. so off I went with a little jog with my family. and as expected, my lung capacity had reduced! Haha! One thing I don't like about having no exam is... have to do lots of housework. during exam, I had my sister taking over most of my part of work, now that it is over, it seems I have to work even more. Shoot.

After exam, it's time to plan ...my future (?!). But before that, gonna have more fun with my friends. My class is going on a graduation tour (whatever you call it). Though I have been to Penang almost every year, this will be a different feeling as I'm going with friends instead of family. we will go really crazy... hopefully a few friends and I really get to watch a concert there. Daniel, Victor and a few other finalists will be performing. Hope our plan turns out good.

For these few days, I guess I'll be sitting at home, surfing the Net, and doing housework. Just don't know yet whether it will be fun... Looking forward to the tour!
Penang, here I come!!!
