Special after-dark Hippo Tour

After a long tiring day at school, I finally got to do something relaxing. It's the 2nd event with OMY.sg, Radio 1003, Radio 91.3 and Bras Basah-Bugis Precinct! The first event was the Trishaw Night Out, which we followed Radio 1003. So this time round we decided to follow Radio 91.3, to be fair! Lol. Met Smith before the event and he actually hinted us to follow the Radio 1003 bus, which we found out later why (there's after tour supper), but we have already pledged our allegiance to Radio 91.3, so we decided to stick to it. Haha.

Anyway we had fun with the Radio 1003 and OMY.sg family too, since we have a combined break point where everyone just mingled together.

Finally saw Silver today. Havent seen her for soooooo long liao. Haha. Bumped into Ying Zi too. She is all grown up now. Remember her 4 years ago when I first met her, totally different from now. She's a beautiful lady now. Haha. (",)

Alright. Back to event proper!

We all gathered and set off from the National Museum. It's my first time taking the Hippo Tour and was quite excited about it. We were hosted by Radio 91.3 DJs Jeremy and Maddy, together with the other DJs and staffs of Radio 91.3.


We went through Orchard, Rochor, Short St and many other places and through the journey, Jeremy made the effort to explain to everyone and also to tell everyone the history of the sites we passed by. It's interesting to know that the places we passed either used to be something else, or it has been there since many many years ago. Jeremy's dedication towards explaining and such was the depth of his information, that I felt the History of Singapore I studied in school was nothing. Lol.

The Hippo Tour, just like the Trishaw tour, brings us to many places that even we Singaporean seldom visit. Once again, I felt like a tourist in a foreign land. Suddenly I realised I dont know very much about places in Singapore. Haha.

We stopped by Chijmes for a short break. Managed to get hold of the DJs and working staffs of Radio 1003 for a chat and a group photo. Jian Wen 大哥 and Kemin 姐 as friendly as usual. Always felt very comfortable in their company. They make me feel relaxed even though I feel kind of 紧张 talking to them as they are considered quite "senior" or 资深. Had a good chat with Alvin and Smith too. Smith is so funny. Haha. :)

Ok, some pictures now!

Me and the Radio 1003 Family

This is DJ Jeremy. A very very friendly, nice and warm person. He's also very funny and he likes soccer too! Haha. (",)

Kemin 姐 and I before the event. Pretty right? :)

This is DJ Maddy. Sad I didnt get to talk to her much. But she's also very friendly and her daughter is sooooo cute. Haha.

The participants of the event, before the event.

RIG Talents! They are cute right? Lol.

Joseph, Me and Kadon. Thank you Kadon for the keychain from Japan. Very sweet of you. :)

Group Shot!

Does these places look familiar, yet new to you? Seem like you've seen it somewhere, yet you've never been there? That's what I'm talking about.

Last stop before we end the tour. DJ Jeremy and Maddy were live on air here too.

I managed to give my the Media Promotional Copy of my album to all the DJs and Management of the two radio stations and OMY.sg. I hope they like my song and can support me! (",)

A Tough Road

It's tough being in the Entertainment Industry. This, I've known since 4 years back. All the glamour you see on screen and on stage are what are the result of hours and days and months of hard work. Noone sees that. When you do wrong, you get criticised. Though I have not been through real hardcore hardships, I would still say that it's never easy being an artiste. It's more than what you see, more than what most people perceive and believe.

I'm saying this because recently, two artistes from Mediacorp left and decided to call it quits. Both cited personal reasons and personal time and space. I'm sad because Dawn has been one of my favourite actress since I first saw her at Teens Model Search at Plaza Singapura. I think she's really cute and I hope to be able to work with her one day. When I heard she was preparing for her album, I was excited. But now, she has decided to leave the industry.

Jessica on the other hand, I saw her filming at Studio 6 once while I was at Mediacorp for my acting classes. She's really beautiful in person, and she's very friendly too. Her professionalism and charisma attracted me. Felt sad that she had to leave. I hoped she could do more.

Whatever it is, one thing is for sure, I'll miss them. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours. Best Wishes!

I'll be attending Hippo and Duck tour with OMY.sg tomorrow. My first visit!

How To Train Your Dragon

RunTime: 1 hr 35 mins
Rating: PG

Movie Synopsis
From the studio that brought you "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" comes "How to Train Your Dragon" - a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup, who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen's smarts and offbeat sense of humor don't sit too well with his tribe or its chief, who happens to be Hiccup's father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup's one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Movie Review

Absolutely stunning movie. Little wonder there have been so many people recommending me to watch this film. It's definately worth the price anytime anyday. Animal lovers should watch this movie. People who likes Stitch should watch this movie (because the dragon Toothless really have a strong resemblance to Stitch). In any case, I strongly recommend everyone to watch it. No regrets! Promise!
