Star-struck!

Before i go into the exciting events that's been happening over the past couple of days (Fri & Today), first up:

Bling Nailz for X'mas 2011!!! woots~

Now, don't that just make you feel all Christmassy already!!! :)

I'm so in da' mood! (which prob means i'm not really in working mode..:X) But anyways..on to the highlight of the week - Channel U & MediaCorp networking events!!

Ch U @ Zirca:

Star-studded stage with many many stars!! *@_@* yeah i admit i am a complete TV junkie so ask me anything about local TV i'm probably in the loop..yes even with a tight working schedule. I've never really said this out loud but i actually had dreams of being on stage once.
There, i said it.

There's just something about the fame, frenzied fans, faultless figures and flawless skin that makes stardom oh-so-attractive. *floats into daydream*

Whatever it is, its probably being so out-of-reach that makes stars all that desirable! (consoles self)

We managed to get real close to the stars that night during the mingling post-event. Like REAL close. Perks of being a large client! :) Check out these photos we managed to grab!

With Michelle Chong - promoting her new movie!

With Joanne Peh - i look chao da beside her!

Stolen pic of celebs beside us. Somehow we managed to break into the cordoned area exclusively for them and got the sofa right beside! On sofa - Lai Yiling & i forgot his name, plus Pornsak just behind. And of course Ben Yeo in foreground. Qi Yuwu was strolling around as well...so...

Damn shuai or what!!! i only managed to get a photo with him for today's event but not as nice as this one so let's bask in his beauty from this photo.

Okay okay i know he's not the shuai-est one around but he has that mesmerizing stare and he was SUPER accommodating when taking photos with all of us! Think Mickey Mouse mascot at DisneyWorld. Seriously. But with heartfelt sincerity when looking into every cam.

And yes, so what if he's gay he's still gorgeous! (i mean like in a cool way)

MediaCorp @ RCCC:

Nothing much today, apparently last year's event was WAYYY better with a full fledge of celebs gracing the grounds. This year..well here's the only photo i got. Someone else took a better photo maybe i'll update later!!

hahahaha..yes with Qi YuWu again. But he looks more chui here coz of the stupid lighting! Sigh. but he's really super gracious la. Especially since i thick-skinly asked for more shots coz i didn't manage to get photos on my phone. And then my colleague still took time adjusting flash etc, so we were kinda posing for a longish while..*awkward*

If i wasn't so paiseh, i'd have told him the same thing i told Michelle Chong - that i was going to watch his new Ch8 9pm show tonight! (for Michelle was her movie and her awesome work in The Noose) 

 Oh well, i guess its time to stop stargazing and get back down to planet earth - its only Tuesday!!! boohooo~

All these stars made my heart thump quite a bit..brings me back to my Sec 3 days when i was a lil' nuts about F4!  Love all you brave individuals onstage :)

Surfers Paradise

Wish i was back there again! As usual after holidays i was sucked back into a vortex of crazy meetings and stacks of work, so its always a struggle between blogging or watching another happy episode of HIMYM - so do pardon the hiatus.

But yes, it was a fabulously sun-shiny holiday with plenty of fries and (new-found pop soda) Lift lemonade to top it off. Every day was packed to the brim as per our standard 'seize the (holi)day' itinerary!

Day 1&2 at Tangalooma Beach

Perfectly clear waters and pearly sand. But the most amazing thing of all was the evening schedule of wild dolphin feeding at the beach near the jetty. Totally regretted not taking along the camera as we thought we'd both be waist-deep in the sea feeding the dolphins. Turned out they swam only 1-2m from the shore and the furtherest we needed to go was knee-deep!

Now, doesn't this look just like the googled picture in my previous post? :)

Only knee-deep and he snatched the fish right outta our hands! I never knew dolphins were this huge until now. Actually a bit scary..look like shark!

Day 3 - Paradise Country Farm & Surfers Paradise Beach

Finally got to hug a koala!! Not as furry as i'd imagine, and pretty heavy! But still cute.

Look! We look like a family of grey marsupials.

And Surfers Paradise beach - well, lets just say there ain't no better name than that! I was totally blown away as soon as we stepped into the hotel and checked out the view at the balcony. Sure, the seafront view was beautiful, but then i saw WHALES jumping out of the sea. At first i thought i was hallucinating but it happened several times i almost felt like i was watching Free Willy again.

Only managed to catch a shot of the whale blowing a spray of water after flopping in and out of the sea..too awestruck to grab the cam in time. Only after then I realized it was whale-watching season - they had banners on the streets to advertise whale-watching cruises.

A few things we learnt about Surfers Paradise:

1) Beachfront property like this costs less than AUD$500k. (majorly jealous)

2) But a 1.5l mineral water + 600ml (deliciously lemony) Lift soda (or any other soda) costs AUD$8.90. *Outrageous*

3) You are only allowed to swim between the red & yellow flags so the lifeguards can keep their eye on you. Coz it's just too easy to get sucked under the raging waves even just 10m from the shore. (..or get eaten by sharks)
 

Looks just like a scene outta Baywatch

4) Aussie peeps are literally jiak kan dang - we had fries for almost every meal!

The Hard Rock Cafe cheeseburgers rock, btw.

Day 4: Warner Bros Movie World & Casino

Well, compared to our USA trips (think Six Flags, Skitterbarn & Disney World), the Gold Coast themeparks were pretty blah i guess. But still sufficient to offer a wee bit of adrenaline rush. The best ride was undoubtly SUPERMAN, but the coolest dude in costume that day was definitely BATMAN and his Batmobile.

Superman Fast!!

Hot wheels

But the most amusing video of the trip goes to Bugs/Daffy/Tweety/Sylvester - for SHUFFLIN' the daylights outta everyone!! 

haha loves it!! *Every day i'm shufflin'!* Warner Bros' version wins hands down!! Hokay i'm a lil' bushed already..way past time for bed *cough-old-cough* and bloody blogspot didnt' help by making me rewrite this post 3 times coz it apparently didn't save half the post when I published earlier. *grimace*

So, anyways, there isn't much else of the rest of the trip that isn't gonna be illustrated on FB (heh heh shortcut to capture memories)..we conquered Dream World and Wet n' Wild too. Not to mention getting a really rosy tan each.

Well, time to start looking forward methinks! Feb & Mar 2012 look pretty ungifted with public holidays..perfect for the next getaway! :) hmm..where to next??
