Singapore National Day Parade LIVE 2013

( http://instagram.com/p/cyyDMfo7nh/)

First I would like to say thank you to my dear friend, Xue Yao for the tickets to both this year NDP Preview and actual day live at the Marina Bay floating platform!

Yes! I was so lucky to be able to watch twice live this year! It's been like a thousand years since primary 5 and I never get a chance to attend the parade live ever since then. Getting tickets to NDP is like harder than winning any competition. 乂⍱‿●乂

So here I am with my younger sister and friends at the NDP actual day (08.08.2013)!

With that said, I had 2 NDP fun pack this year! 〷◠‿◠〷 Yay-ness.

When it comes to freebie everyone is happy. HAHAHA!

So what's up in the fun pack?! LETS SEE.

Merlion cookies! Simple but yummy.

As usual Sticker Tattoo for everyone to stick on and show your love for Singapore.

Creative or what?? 

-RANTS-

Before getting to our seat which is at the blue sector, we have to pass through this security gate which had securities that looked at you and treated you like a terrorist who's going in to kill Lee Kuan Yew or Lee Hsien Loong. ఠ_ఠ

I was pissed off with them literately, and they were part of the reasons of ruining the first half of my NDP mood. My poor younger sister have to miss her 2 hours of NDP parade. No more Singapore Love from me after what happen. ヽ(ಠ_ಠ)ノ

Until a while later, Ah Xue and my younger sister make me feel better then did I really try my best to enjoy NDP. Really appreciated that. I get really irritated with irresponsible people and also people with really poor attitude. I just freaking don't like it and I won't keep quiet like the rest of the people would.

Ok... So whatever lah.

I am here to enjoy my NDP. So these people can just simply F off. ┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘

WOOT! Waiting, waiting and waiting...The marching parade finally started!

Dynamic Defense Display.

Night Performances!

Crowd getting high!!!

Finally the fireworks!!!

Some scenery....part of what's so worthy of being there live.

Watch more in the video I took during NDP Live!

It's a quick view of the parades and performances starting from the entrance of Lee Hsien Loong.

Hope you guys enjoyed watching the video and reading the post!

Let's all wish Singapore HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! ♥

Finally some faces before ending my NDP post ^_^.

[Acting/ Filming] KES 253

I decided to start blogging about my filming & acting experiences starting from now.
With that said it includes behind the scene stuff. I hope you guys will enjoy reading it! ♥

SO let me start off with KES 253 - Well, this is not the latest production that I've done but it's one of the production that I have the most to say.

O.K!
Have you watched KES 253 Episode 7 be it on Suria Channel or Xinmsn???
You did? GREAT! Thanks for watching! ^_^
You didn't? NVM. I don't want to friend you already. LOL! (Kidding) (─‿‿─)

RANDOM: 
I am actually part of a Suria Drama!!! HAHAHA! So what's next? Vasantham maybe?!
╍●‿●╍

It was a great experience because I get to practice my crying skills again.

The last time I cried for about 2 hours was when I did a mandarin short film "KARMA". That was even more draining and tired as it was a night scene. But nevertheless satisfying for overcoming that challenge.

You can catch some cuts of my crying scene in "KARMA" 《阴果》Yin Guo, near the middle/end of my acting reel below.



My role in KES 253 is a very small role, I am playing a Kidnapped Victim. I felt that this is a pretty challenging role because I foresee crying, wimping and whatever that will showcase my acting abilities.
Even though I am aware that the camera might not catch me and I might not be seen but even so, let's take it like an acting lesson and practice them.

Second reason is because I have friends that are going to be in the same scene and some of them are going to be filming on the same set same day with me. *Yay* HAHAHA.

True enough, I have to admit that the best part is when you know people on set, that will make you even more comfortable. I am always happy to see familiar faces on set be it production crew or fellow actors and actresses. ^_^

I am so relieved that the director is super nice and I like it when they don't give us pressure. That will really help us a lot in doing our scene. ^_^ Thank you for the guidance!

♥ ♥ ♥

Aside from crying & wailing in the scene and getting myself all so dirty and sweaty, I have to be tied up in ropes, drag in and out of room for a "million" times, get thrown into the room on the ground, get whipped with belt by the Kidnappers and be a repeated victim. LOL.

Yes! I was used two times, pretending that I am a different victim! That's what we call recycle!

HOW?
Just change clothes and re-image the hairstyle and all to make me look like another person.


Just ignore my cui face, totally naked face without anything nice on it. lol.
(◡‿◡✿)

The difference between smiling and not.

♥ The awesome people! ♥

The whole filming lasted for about half a day!
And here is the final product --> about 30s. HAHAHA!
At least can see my face. ≧◔◡◔≦



Appreciating everything will make us a happy person!

THANK YOU SPEECH:  ☜(ˆ▽ˆ)

Firstly, I want to thanks Eve for offering the role to me! Happy working with her last time & this time too! Thank you Eve! [ Even though I am not sure if you're going to see this post. lol (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Thank you Oak3 Productions too! The directors, production crew and all fellow actors, actresses & talents for making the entire process all so fun & worthwhile! （‐＾▽＾‐）

Till then we meet again!

[Movie Review] The Host

Hi Guys! 

I went for a movie preview for "The Host" recently at Vivocity Golden Village.

I thought it was a thriller. HAHAHA!

Anyway it's not scary at all lah. Phew....

Short Synopsis:

When an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, Melanie will risk everything to protect the people she cares most about, proving that love can conquer all in a dangerous new world.

Director: Andrew Niccol

Writers: Stephenie Meyer (novel), Andrew Niccol(screenplay)

Stars: Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Jake Abel

Review:

It took me by surprise because I didn't read the synopsis at all or watch the trailer before heading for the preview. I felt that they had really good story plot and all. I was expecting more excitement and like action-pack stuff in the movie though. Maybe it's the first thought of it, that it's a thriller movie -.-. LOL. Anyway I rate 8 out of 10. Enjoyed watching the movie, especially heart felt moments, a lot of bloggers admitted that they cried during the movie. Hahaha. Well, I wasn't one of them, but I couldn't deny that I am actually at the verge of tearing at some scenes. Oh so sad and touching. Worth the watch!

Check out the trailer:

By the way, I think she is super chio and girl next door. ♥

[Food Review] Nando's & Community Sports Club

You must be wondering why Nando's & Community Sports Club together in a post?

Well, it' s a collaboration between Community Games 2013 & Nando's ! ^^

Eat & Exercise to stay healthy!

But first we have to eat to have the energy to exercise

 (Lol, one of my excuses to eat delicious food first?  :P) 

Hahaha! Yummy....

A hungry man is an angry man!

 Nando's have a new friend to their menu! And who is this lucky chap???

It's....

Fiery Angry Mango! 

Yum Yum!

Nando's presents a ridiculously good-tasting mix of mango with its Nando's-famed PERi-PERi sauce & flame-grilled chicken. The mango smell & taste are not that overwhelming as compare to a restaurant that I went to where I only tasted mango and not the chicken. #.#

It's spicy, it's sweetish, and it's savoury. People like me who can't take spiciness can choose to go for mild.

It's available in burgers, pitas and wraps too!

Well, it's my first time at Nando's, and I love their chicken. I don't like those kind of chicken that makes you feel like you are drinking a bucket of oil into your body. Their chicken is perfect and I always go for chicken breast because I like it extra dry.

Me and my chicken breast. LOL!

Say "Hi" chicken breast.... 

Ok....sounds wrong.

Even though I don't take chili or spicy stuff, I actually indulged quite a bit in their garlic PERi-PERi sauce which I heard that is really good and your chicken will taste even better. 

By the way, they have tomato sauce, so if you really can't take spicy stuff, not even a single bit, then just drink the tomato sauce (kidding). You can use tomato sauce instead :P.

Remember to try their new Nando's Fiery Angry Mango. They also have it in meal known as the "Angry Mango Meal" at $14.90 with 2 additional sidelines. 

Now other that their chicken, I am also in love with their designer's drinks in the menu!

The glass in the center is mine, look how fast I drank it. Lol.

Let's not forget the other delicious food that I had at Nando's. Everybody said that this is the best mushroom soup, and it's definitely going to get you addicted. 

Well, you must be wondering whether is it true or is it going to taste like some failed mushroom soup like Pasta Mania or thick mushroom soup like soup spoon. Neither!

It's really damn addictive can. The bread also super nice one. Me and Tiffany wasn't planning to finish the whole thing so that we can keep our stomach space a bit emptier for the other food. 

In the end...we finished it. Lol!

No need to describe so much. One word - Awesome!

Just TRY ok.

We also had some...I suppose it sort of a expertize/sides. The vegetable here might look  a bit weird, but it tastes healthy. ♥

We had desserts after that.

It's doesn't tastes like regular egg tart . Something especial about it. Very hard to describe, so if you want to know how and why so hard to describe, go Nando's order and try.

This one, Hong Peng (HP)'s favourite, the Lighten up chocolate cake.

OK...and we love it too. HAHAHA!

Cheesecake!

They have quite a few desserts on their menu, a wide variety to choose from.

You can also visit Nando's official website and their Nando's Peri-Peri Chicken Offical Facebook Page for more!

So after food what do you do??? 

Not go toilet hor!
