Chingay 2010...

Actually this event, I wasn't involve cause it belongs to 501st Legion Singapore Garrison. Eventually I join them alongside with some Movie Mania members, Tim, Reno, Edwin, Janice & Belvick. Well, the 501st had to go through a course of consecutive weekends, training sessions and simulations (mock Chingay parades) to prepare themselves for this grand event, to be telecast island-wide. But for us, we didn't attend the rehearsal cause we aren't from 501st but was invited to join them. The event passed flawlessly, and everybody present was undoubtedly proud to be part of such a historic event. This is my very first time joining the parade, and also the first time with the 501st people marching alongside with them as the Emperor's Red Guard. As we are making our way in, we get to catch our opening ceremony fireworks over our head!!

With Barry(Crimson Guard from comic series, who can defeat 20 stormtroopers)

Before marching in, we watch those performers going in, especially those decorated miniature stages, known better as ‘floats’ were moving in. They were so beautifully decorated. The drumming from the Japan Association rock the performers going in as they beat the drum and the performers out there were screaming, shouting & cheering!!

It was a 200m march spread through starting from the F1 Pit building to the F1 spectator gallery. March and stop then wave or pose at the crowd. Cameras were flashing here & there. It was really fun. And as we had reached the finishing point, we took off our helmet and walk back to our holding area. And before going in we had a photo shoot outside the round about fountain near Singapore Flyer. Then as we are going to have a group photo, the fireworks which marks the end of Chingay just went into the sky, again right above our head and as we take pictures and watch the fireworks simultaneously. After the group shot, we walk back while still watching the fireworks going off. And some of us shouted: 'HUAT ARH !!'. After un suit and packing our stuffs up, Reno brought us to a Chinese restaurant for a Yusheng session as it was Ren Ri (Seventh day), which means everyone's birthday. And we even had crabs and that's what we had for our supper.

We catch ourselves appear on TV the next day. When Gurmit was commenting at Janice live: 'I never see this girl before in Star Wars!!'. This is the Imperial Guards, they got no facial expression!! Sibei funny leh. Ah ha ha.

Movie Mania CNY Dinner/Gathering 2010...

Ytd had alot of fun and laughter during ytd's Movie Mania CNY dinner/gathering... Especially during the Yusheng session while in costume... It was dam funny during that moment seriously!!

Met Reno at Sgn taxi stand, I'm too early liao. Cause he need to fetch his workers back home. Then pit stop at somewhere around Braddell MRT station. Wait for people to come and then move out to our filming venue which is at the famous Toa Payoh King Crab restaurant. Had our dinner and Yusheng first as we have to wait for the crowd to left first. At about 11pm, all the crowd has left. And so we started suiting up Bumble Bee & Iron Man. Then move in to the air con room and dress up the others. I dress up as Obi Wan Kenobi as a last min back up. Then all the 11 costumer, Obi Wan, Iron Man, Storm trooper, Navy Seal Officer, Gingerbread Man, Bumble Bee, Cylon, USMC, V3, Freddy & Wolverine had a filming session with Yusheng. We were laughing at one another cause it looks dam weird while in costume doing this. We are trying this for the 1st time that nobody does. We did afew dry run and say some lucky Chinese phrase out.

3, 2, 1... Action....(The actual one) Huat arh... Started saying the Chinese phrases out and using the chopstick and trying to grab the Yusheng which some of us had difficulty doing it. And we keep doing for like 10 mins non stop until our hand is really dam tired and dam suan liao. And we started saying funny things out. Obi Wan's hand kenna liao ah, Iron Man's hand kenna like siao ah, Chopstick ka lao(drop) liao ah, Qiu jing seng liao ah(Hand dam tired), When can we stop ah, How much more do you want to continue ah.... And alot of funny phrase coming out lo... Then we do the final shot which all the costumers and the 3 lady holding onto oranges saying Chinese greetings, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Wan Shi Ru Yi... YEAH~~~~... And that's all for the filming. Dam tired lo. And the time is ard 0030. WAH, quickly pack up the costume and load into the van. Went back to the workshop to unload and took taxi with Edwin & Conrad back home. Woo Hoo... Really enjoy this alot. Thanks Reno for the dinner & Jason for the photos!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Welcoming the tiger!!

Singapore Airshow 2010 review

Airshow Press Conference at Suntec Convention Hall 601 - 602, 1/2/10 (Monday)

All the costumers on that day really had lots of fun, there's performance on the stage lo. Still got Michael Jackson song and so the Stormtroopers were dancing joyfully, I only dance abit with them.
Thanks to those who are involve in this outing, and special thanks to Patrick & Jason for the photos. And I'm now dam bloated after swallowing down abt 12 to 15 stewed teriyaki chicken & tiramisu. I really had extra fun overthere even though I come in improper attire.



Singapore Airshow 2010 at Changi Exhibition Centre, 6/2/10 (Saturday)

Day 1 report. Saw Raniel, Shu Mei & friend working as usher. They recognize me!! Settle down at our base(function hall) and suit up, immediately going out of our base to the entrance only. Hell lots of crowds were crowding around us. SERIOUSLY!! Snapping pictures with us until we couldn't even move on, just stationary on the spot. And the most is we turn front, back, left & right!! VERY POPULAR ARH!! Aerial Display a bit disappointing cause F-111 Aardvark & T-50 Golden Eagle wasn't in the air!! Only Apache, F-16 & A-10 Thunderbolt II.My favourite A-10 did the strafing run mock action. 

But on actual, the plane will be slowed down during the process when it burst its 30 mm (1.18 in) GAU-8/A Avenger gatling cannon , the plane will be slowed down instead of very fast. F-16 just only fly here and there, then put smoke out only. Apache only do some steep diving only.Well, tmr is another busy day for me. My parents, friends are coming!! 

SEE YOU GUYS THERE!!STARSCREAM!! TRANSFORM!!(Launch off and fly)



Singapore Airshow 2010 at Changi Exhibition Centre, 7/2/10 (Sunday)

Finally, it's over. Really had lots of fun this 2 days. Today is one of my happiest day cause count by luck. I couldn't contact my parents cause I don't have phone with me. I saw my parents immediately when me & A.K was walking around the exhibition centre to find Tim, Reno & gang. Then Jason suddenly pop up and so I ask for his help to take a picture with my parents. And also my parents manage to get a rubric cube and 3 ST engineering pen which has light on when it's in writing mode.

And thanks to Venice and friends who manage to find me. Also another picture taken.Oh, I also saw Sir Idris there when I was about to go to the washroom.Today's crowd is still manageable, unlike yesterday. Because today I evade most of the crowd, sorry guys. It's not I don't want to take with u'll, just because we are too busy and need to rush off to somewhere.After that photo taking outside our function room, me & A.K chiong to the Lockheed Martin station where F-35 Lighting II is, cause Starscream/FA-22 Raptor is designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics & Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Oops, miss out the phototaking with Boeing. 

Haiz.After the photo taking, went back to rest for awhile until 3.30pm before we suit up again to take picture with the committee members of the SG Airshow at the VIP viewing gallery. After which we went out to the gallery and hang around there. We even do yam seng too.And then we hang around at the viewing gallery and wave at the people on the ground maciam like we are the VIP like that. And people still wave at us and took pictures from the ground lo.And we left the area going down the stairs when my parents called my name and told me that they are making a move first. And during the time we are walking down, HUGE CROWDS SURROUND US UNTIL WE ONLY HAVE A SMALL ROUTE TO MOVE.And for the last hour, we stand outside our base and had the final photo taking with the public. AND GUESS WHAT?!?! Star Scream is the last one standing outside which I don't even know that the rest had go in to suit down. 

Ah haha. And then until Edwin told me to cut.Go in suit down and pack up our stuff. And had a final photo taking with the cleaners who had been guarding the doors for us so that the public wouldn't come in and see what we are doing.

Alright, once again thanks to everybody who came down to support me especially my parents & friends. This are just some of the photos I've put here. Mostly at Facebook. Credits to Jason for all the photos he took. Kudos to you.

And lastly, My mother and my father.
