A Lil' Updato~

Noew, I really have noew extra time to write anything full here before I get hoe~me...
So just in case you're missing ma~e, here's a picture of ma~e enjoying my time in Perth...

Stop-by Singapore

Hi guys, I've safely landed in Perth, Australia, the place that I've spent the best two years of my life at, and the place that I wanted so badly to come back. But I haven't got any special stories or photos to share with you guys just yet.
I however, have some photos taken at the Singapore budget airport to share with you all!
For your info, I'm on quite a tight budget holiday this time around. So I took Air Asia to Singapore and then took Tiger Airways to Perth. So I spent around one, two, three... Five hours at the budget airport in Singapore before I could board my flight. First thing first, I had my lunch at Hanis，which to me was quite a nice cafe serving both Western and Eastern food. The best thing is, the have range of desserts too! And the cakes definitely look very yummy!
So I ordered a Fried Hor Fun, which was quite ok to me... Except for the fact that they don't have sambal for me to eat with...Wah... Those cakes are so seductive man...I was so close to ordering a piece of this Choc Oreo Mint cake!!!I was so bored that I started taking picture of myself being BORED...
Haha, don't we look alike?
The magazines that I bought as entertainment throughout my journey on the plane. And yes, I paid double the price for buying Time magazine in Singapore!!!
Then I took picture of the very quite budget airport...
Love my bling bling shoes that I just bought a day before I left for Perth! Love da bling!!!
After sitting outside for like who knows how long? I figured out there is a laptop zone in the boarding area. Damn stupid and blur lor! Laptop zone which was all taken when I arrived...
Then this one girl was leaving and I was holding my laptop that was already turned on and was already running out of battery, waiting for her trying to squeeze her stuffs in her bags like so freaking long! I was so worry my laptop would turn off itself running out of battery! And she made me only had like 15 minutes left to use the internet there!!! Grrrhhh...
See how she was squeezing so hard? One side of her foot was on the chair, trying so hard to squeeze all the stuffs into her bag...
And after that I found out she is a Chinese. No wonder the bags are so ah-lian lar!
Okay, by the way, this is a really nice picture of me and 豆腐卜(Tou Fu Pok), taken a day earlier. Yup, you got it right, I went to Astro for their open audition. Another failed one for me but I did not feel that bad this time around because I wasn't nervous and I think I did okay! I've never seen Tou Fu Pok's show (got no Astro lar), but he is so cute in real person that I couldn't help but wanted to take a pic with him!
I think we both look really good in this pic. What do you think?

开心！:)

哟~哟~Shirlexia在新加坡机场来po文啦！还有20分钟就得上飞机了说，还是快点搞定好了！
这次是再一次要感谢Leslie“哥哥”的！他在他刚新po的blog里提到我啦！而且是题目就有我的名字，接着还不停的称赞我什么的！搞到我很歹势啊！不知道该怎么说，现在感觉他是我的粉丝多过我是他的粉丝！
其实我只是真心的从以前就很欣赏他，所以才一直支持到现在！我也其实没有他说的那么厉害，还是有好几部他拍过的剧我不知道的，有些应该是看过就忘了，有些应该就是我还在澳洲，听也没听过！:p 不过老实说，如果说《火凤凰》是他13年前的剧，那当时的我不就才11岁（妈的，竟然自爆年龄）？？？我还蛮厉害的嘛，11岁.......超小的！
Anywayz,我当然会继续支持你的，而Leslie哥你也要加油啦！而且要好好保重身体啊！:)
好吧，各位，see you in Perth!

《情牵南苑》见面会之何宝胜好帅！！！

今天在gym踩了一个半小时的脚车、再到金河站&走了好几个小时，现在脚超酸、超累的！
无业游民的日子嘛，除了去gym、去上课就没什么好做的了。所以昨晚last minute决定了今天早上去了gym后就去金河当小粉丝，支持一下《情牵南苑》影迷见面会。哈哈，其实是很私心的去支持自己喜欢和支持了很多年却没见过真人的蔡可立，也就是《情牵南苑》的男主角何宝胜啦！
幸好这些“大牌明星”都没有迟到，没有让现场许多的auntie uncle久等。
首先出场的是谢佳剑和黄淑君。谢佳剑就很高啦，只是始终觉得他变娘了，黄淑君的一身打扮和她在剧里的差太远了吧？
然后就是帅到不行的蔡可立和戴倩云哦！帅气十足的Leslie出场啦！很喜欢他当天的打扮！
哈哈，有人很不专心了，一直在跟粉丝打招呼！偏心一点，po多一张帅帅的蔡可立的照片！:p
最后就是从香港飞回来的女主角吴天瑜和李名仲和叶良财。我只能说，Debbie真的就如很多人说的，超友善！而名仲当天留了胡须的形象感觉好看多了耶！从不知道得他可以那么帅！
大家打了招呼后就开始玩跳舞游戏啦，以下就是他们“精彩”的演出！




不好意思，真的太好笑了，就只听到我的笑声.......
接下来的签名会我就skip掉啦，因为本人比较实际一点，不喜欢签名的，喜欢拍合照留念的，哈哈！:p
这次也非常开心终于见到了可立哥（不会介意我这么叫你吧？）！因为距离我第一次看他演《火凤凰》而开始注意和喜欢这位本地演员到现在似乎有差不多10年了吧？我还记得他多年后重出江湖时我在电视上看到他，整个超兴奋的！当然兜兜转转、机缘巧合之下认识了他本人，今天也终于见到他的本人了，就来说说对他的印象吧！
首先，我必须说，当时现场人气最旺的可能是他，不然就是他和谢佳剑啰！不过比起感觉越来越娘的Melvin，可立好像比较亲民哦！看到他不停的跟他的粉丝打招呼，应该是都认识他们吧？感觉他对粉丝都很好啦！所以红、受欢迎是可以明白的哦！我真的觉得比起N年前我不停的投票他都没拿过那个10大最受欢迎奖的时候，他现在很忙、很红耶，很替他高兴！
然后他的样子真的比他的年纪年轻多了（其实心智也是吧= =|||），可能是他不管是发型或衣着都弄得很好吧！整个就看起来只有我这样的年纪吧？而且为了答谢我这个支持了他多年的粉丝，他一看到我就真的来了个热情拥抱，还有他说的东西搞到我很感动哩！明明是应该我见到他很开心才对，他竟然也说他见到我才开心呢！说啊，这样会珍惜支持他的粉丝的艺人，超值得支持的啰！Ok, ok, 不说我是粉丝啦，是朋友......好啦，我再继续晒命下去会被他的粉丝揍啦！
Anywayz, 还是很开心，我会继续追看何宝胜的“下场”如何的，也期待Leslie更多的作品哦！
另外，可立哥有时间就多睡一点吧，眼睛血丝都跑出来了，黑眼圈超厉害的！不要捱到太惨哦，会变不靓仔的哦！哈哈哈哈......
喜欢和支持了N年的蔡可立，很帅、很好人！不过.......看到他眼睛有多累吧？
号外：
在见面会......旁边看到了另一班也是以前HVD时代的演员，抓紧机会拍了合照！
保养得超好的叶丽仪也曾经是我很喜欢的演员哦！
超白的陈俊铨！
当时还有刘冠伸和一个新加坡的演员，不知道叫什么名字的，只是我没有跟他拍到合照！
好吧，可以去收拾行李了！

How did I do???

各位，去这个网址看看吧，是我在上主持课程的其中一个功课！
哈哈，献丑啦！
看过了要留言，给点意见哦！谢谢！

Leave me comments after watching it! Thanks!

2008年精明儿童教育展之包包献丑啦！:)

My very own Malaysian Dreamgirl review

I've been secretly following the Malaysian Dreamgirl, the so-called Malaysia's first on-line reality show since I saw Kenny Sia promoting it on his blog. But I didn't want to write anything here yet because I saw loads of bloggers writing about it. But now that it's over, it's time to start bitching, yo yo~~!!!
Honestly, if not for the shooting I was forced to do last night, I could have gone to the finale at 1 Utama. And after knowing Cindy won the title, I regretted more for not going. If I were there I would be the loudest boo-er when they announce the result, BOO CINDY, BOOOOOO!!! I wish I know all the swear words in every single language that I can just swear on her face!
Alright, I supposed not many of you know or even notice there is such show. So let's start all over here.The top 12... Standing from left: Nadia, Jean, Eyna, Adeline, Alison, Natasha. On the 'blocks' from left: Cindy, Fiqa, Valerie, Ringo. On the floor from left, Jay and Hanis
Don't ask me why, I have no idea why it is called Malaysian Dreamgirl when it is not about searching for a dreamgirl, but a model. They started off with 12 finalists. Some of them are like really forgettable lor, especially the very weird-looking Natasha. I think I first like Nadia, the very garang Malay girl. But I knew from the beginning that she is not going to win, solely because she is DEFINITELY NOT TALL ENOUGH to be a model. The same goes to the so-called wild card Ringo, the celebrity blogger. She is pretty and cute (or pretend to be cute) but she is just too short to be a model. Jean went out herself before the real competition starts. I love her hair after the make-over! Valarie has the personality but not fan base I guess. Alison and Jay look too alike that I had to think twice when writing the caption for the above picture. Then the MCA group of Adeline and Cindy, plus the three other Malays Eyna, Fiqa (love her) and Hanis the manis(love her too).
Well having a group of girls (=bitches) staying under one roof, fighting out for the title, you can expect nothing but drama, drama and drama. I'm gonna skip all those and leave it to you to watch it yourself. But the drama really does play an important role in deciding who's your favourite and who you hate. Nadia is not that 'friendly' but I think I would blame it on her look lar. The BITCHIEST one is gonna be Cindy, who eventually became the winner. I'm sorry lor for not being creative. Most girls in the show or watched the show hate her, and I admit I have to follow the trend. Out of all the hateness I have in her, there is only one line I would like to describe her.
A SHAME TO ALL CHINESE!Cindy on the phone again with her daddy... Ma lai po he in du po jiang wo de lor...
I don't know if she was from a Chinese school, so I can't say a shame to all Chinese school students. How dare she call people 'ma lai po' and 'in du po' on a show? My god, that just shows how un-educated she is! Like the aunties in the kampung like that ar! I'm serious, not even my mom says that! Shame on you, Cindy, shame on you Cindy! And like they say everytime off the screen she is quite normal, but when on screen she speaks English with an Aussie accent, you kneow, my eye bro~~wwws... What ever shit lar Cindy, you seriously sounds terrible! And May was right, she sounds just like the annoying Phua Chu Beng's wife Margaret when she was doing her acting task.
To me, she is not even pretty. She just has this typical Chinese girl look lor, especially when she came to the audition with her bloody out-dated long hair and deep-v red dress that was so la-la! Ho Swee Kim said she looks like a karaoke waitress. I have to agree, I mean, those 'special waitress' 'zhong guo mei' ler, you kneow (oh man, I'm so good in imitating Cindy)... I can't believe Kenny was so amazed looking at her!!! Maybe Kenny is also quite a la-la person, I don't kneow...
And Cindy saved the best for the last when she started bitching about her best friend in the show, Adeline. I totally think Adeline did nothing but won most of the challenges, which made you kneow, someone very jealous lor...Thank god they cut the hair for her. And Cindy, burn that red dress, please!!!
But however you hate her, she still won the title, thanks to her very rich dad whom I don't kneow how much he spent just on the sms votes, who also sounds like Eric Tsang. I would love to have a dad like him, he is just so super duper supportive of his daughter! Oh... So Eric Tsang and Margaret are father and daughter...
She didn't even deserve to be in the top 3!!!
The top 3 in their final shoot.
Adeline and Hanis finished second and third...
Read this to know more about the top 3.
I didn't like Adeline at the audition. She was the opposite of Cindy. She can't speak English well and she answer questions stupidly. She said her favourite model is Amber Chia! Oh my god! I'm not saying Amber is not good, but that's like such a lame answer! But in a way, I think she is just like Amber, an Chinese-ed without good English. Luckily Adeline's Mandarin is better than Amber lor. Amber is not good in all languages...
After the make-over, I started to like her because of the new hair-style she has. Damn cool lor! But she never really have good pictures because no matter how sweet she is and how cute she looks when she is smiling, she never really smiled for the picture. And the face is sooooo long that I just have to shake my head... Wasted only!See, Adeline can be so pretty and sweet...
But she chose to hide her smile every time she went for a shoot.
I do, however think she is a model material. She is tall, she is pretty and you know what, she won most of the challenges in the show! And her English, though still need some serious improvement, had improved so much during the show. I feel really happy for her on that. I was going to vote for her in the final but forgot. Well, I don't think that helps lar, Cindy's dad is so much more richer than me... Grrrhhhhh...
Hanis... Hanis... She is just soooooo sweet I think all guys just want her to be their girlfriend.
I really do love her, but that's just because she is sweet and cute. I'm still in doubt whether she can be a good model or not. She looks like just too much a typical Malay girl. Her first photo shoot photo was TERRIBLE. She looks like she just woke up and got dragged to take a passport photo.Terrorist-alike passport photo for Hanis!
Ironically, her final photo-shoot was BRILLIANT! The best of the top three, damn classy ler!Wee~Wee~~Hanis a class above all!!!
To Adeline and Hanis, good luck!

To Cindy, fuck off!
And I can't believe I just put so many Cindy's photos in this post!!! Fucking pollution to my blog!!!
Of course, this is the first Malaysian Dreamgirl. And it wasn't that good. Here are some of my suggestions...
1) If there is going to be a second Malaysian Dreamgirl, I think more promotions has to be done. I mean, this one, if I'm not a fan of Kenny Sia, I wouldn't even know there is such thing going on. Lack of promotion=not many people know=not many quality models in the show
Seriously, no offend, the quality was really bad.
2) Get more microphones!!!
That was what I was really annoyed throughout the whole show. When all the girls stand together, I can't hear them talking, is there actually a boom mic or anything? And I remember once Jimmy brought the girls to a photo-shoot where he introduced all the models that he 'loves', he would say this is who who who, and then asked the model to answer where he/she comes from and all. But All I could hear was what Jimmy said, I can't hear a word from the models! Can't they just give him/her a mic?
3) Be Punctual
On uploading the episodes!!!
4) Kenny Sia, buck-up or don't judge the next Malaysian Dreamgirl, Okay?
Like I said, I'm a fan of Kenny Sia, I still remember how excited I was meeting him earlier this year. I understand Uncle Kenny, that you're there to represent the internet-ers' opinions. But seriously what I can see is, you put all the girls who came in with really sexy clothes on, like Cindy's deep-v or some super short skirt in. What is that? You are not here to pick the most sexiest girl or to pick a porn movie star. Like Elaine said, it's Malaysian Dreamgirl, not Kenny's Dreamgirl lor. And like Ho Swee Kim said, 'judge with your head, not your dick!' The judges from left: celebrity blogger Kenny Sia, Elaine Daly and stylist Jimmy(who looks and sounds so much like my spinning instructor, Alex!).
Till then, hasta la vista, Malaysian Dreamgirlzzzz...

Haih.......

I'm back in KL. :(
Yea, :( is what best describe my mood now.
Being in Taiping is just soooooo nice! Everything is just sooooo nice!!!
I could have stay in Taiping for another few more days, but have to be back for my class today.
But the class today had just made things worst.
I don't mind them changing the teacher the last minute, because you can't blame them. The teacher himself is busy with his own work.
But they changed the whole topic of the class all together. No offend, I admire her as a young woman producer, and also not to say I'm superb in production stuffs, but talking about what are the kinda shows that you like to watch, how do you think the production of those shows go, or listening to the teacher telling you her experience of doing a morning talk show is like damn boring to me. You know I've been through that, there is nothing to be 'hoooh-haaah' about. My god, I was like so close to falling asleep in the class!
And the sufferings will continue for another week because she will be back next week. And WORST of all is she had asked us to shoot a short thingy ourselves to be played in class next week, just to give us a feel of how the whole process goes. I was like SHIT!!! Never mind I have to experience what I've already experienced, I have to go to KL for meetings and shooting and do extra work!!! Grrrrhhhhh... Not to say I'm lazy or whatever, especially when I'm jobless now, but it is really unnecessary lor... Meeting has to be done at night and I hate going out at night, except if someone can send me home.
FUCKING PISSED OFF!!! GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY FOR CHEATING ME ON THE COURSES!!!

Don't fucking want to talk about it anymore.

I went to my Ah Ku(uncle)'s 50th birthday bash last night. Quite fun in a way since there was Karaoke! Hehehe... Still trying to gather all the pictures and videos before I post them all here, but here's a peek on my bling bling dress that I wore to the dinner. Bought the dress for CNY but didn't get to wear. I love it... Except for the fact that I have to hand wash it...

A Mighty Heart

As I stay at home to stuff myself up with loads of food, or to say, being stuffed with loads of food, I also watched a movie that has yet to go on Malaysia's cinema, A Mighty Heart. Some of you may notice, I’ve read the book long time ago (click to see my review) and was amazed with the whole story, so I was already very excited when I got to know they are making a movie out of it and can’t wait to watch it!
So I guess you could guess why I get to watch it before it appear in Malaysia’s cinema. Well, although I saw the poster at the cinema, I really am still doubting the possibility of it being play in Malaysia’s cinema.
A Mighty Heart is based on the same titled book Marianne Pearl wrote on her experience of losing her husband in Pakistan to some terrorists who had beheaded him and uploaded the video on the internet. It’s a true story and it was quite a big news back then. I love the book because it was really cool following the whole journey and you could feel Marianne was so strong facing all the things that happened.
The movie of course wasn’t as detail as the book, but they had made the effort, they have the right place, right atmosphere, and the right actors. You know I never liked Angelina Jolie, but really, she did such a great job in this movie! And I think I can really feel it for Marianne more through this movie, especially when they told her her husband was beheaded and cut into pieces… I was actually saying the F word hearing all that, I feel really bad.
This is a really good movie that you shouldn’t miss!

无业游民日记之超级星期天！

不好意思捏，因为回到了家乡，比较少上网，所以那么久了才更新blog，传盈，你有在等吗？嘻嘻……
先来po一下上星期天在吉隆坡过的很愉快的一天。来自新加坡的刘诗璇老师上完了我们的两堂课之后，我们就陪她到吉隆坡去“血拼”啦！她真的很宝耶，上课如此，出街也是。虽然你知道的，她年纪应该不小了，可是她真的很“玩得”啰！很搞笑，而且她买的衣服啊都很“潮”，所以跟她一起去“血拼”绝对不会闷！之后她还请了我们去了金加利吃甜品！

老师一直说我是很冷酷型的，你觉得呢？ 好多甜品哦！胖了胖了.......
老实说，我真的好久没有为了“血拼”而“血拼”了！真的好久没有这样花个老半天去“血拼”了！当然，我本来就不是要去“血拼”的，是去当陪兵的。可是你知道的，还是忍不住买了几样东西啦！而且我一定要跟你们分享，一定要！！！就是一件超亮的黄色洋装，很亮、很好看（连我外婆也赞耶）！不过我最兴奋的还是最后看到的黄色渔网鞋，超可爱的，真的！一看到就说我一定要买下它了！！！ 噔噔噔噔.......本人的“黄色”战利品！
然后就是到Starhill最底层走了一转，你们应该不太懂楼下有很漂亮的东西看吧？其实都是好多间你连进去都不敢进去，看起来就知道很贵的餐厅。不过整个地方设计得很漂亮耶，有图为证哦！ 我觉得啊，这地方简直就比楼上那些什么E楼V还好看！
晚上的那一餐呢，就去了很出名的Jalan Alor解决。很歹势的也要自己承认，到Jalan Alor吃东西我还是第一次！其实也没有特别的很好吃，不过其中的黑啤鸡和烧鱼还真的很不错！最巧的是让我们遇到了新加坡的艺人，就是一对夫妇的艺人啦！ 吃！吃！吃！
虽然很累，不过那么久没这样一整天在外头血拼加吃饭了，感觉超爽的！虽然最后还是花了钱，可是我只能说…….无悔！

Shirlexia is a bloody quitter!

I QUIT MY JOB!

...And that's before I even get a new job.
Most of you must be shock. Some of you may have know that wasn't my sudden decision. It was just that I finally decided to do that after getting approval from my dear dad. I LOVE YOU, PA!!!
Donald Trump: You're fired!
Shirlexia: You're fired too!
Anywayz, after really doing it, I feel really weird, I really don't know what kinda feelings that is. I actually had tears in my eyes on my way home from the office this morning after handling in my resignation letter and was told I have enough of leaves and can leave straight away.

Sport journalist was like a dream job of mine, although it was actually a different story all together when I really got into it, my heart is still there, I am still very much a sport fan. I guess I will still miss it a little bit, and also my lovely colleagues who were pretty much taking good care of me when I was there. And my boss... Well, what can I say, although I was damn scared of him, I know deep in my heart, he is a nice boss. I feel really bad that I didn't get to see them and say goodbye to them because I had to rush back for an interview. Really really hope that I can make a date and go have dinner with them one day, really. I WILL MISS THEM!!!

So... Enough of all the sad things. Now that I'm jobless, I want to keep myself positive. I want to be confident that I will get a job very soon. I want to make sure I do some meaningful things during this break... I should clean my room, start re-doing my Project S, go home for a break(damn, have to go have the ginseng or whatever seng, pat tin or whatever pat, life in KL was just damn unhealthy), yea and have to start having a healthier life and take this opportunity to work-out more, and of course I will have to spend less during this period of time.

The next thing I'm going to announce is...
I'M GOING TO PERTH!!!
... Just for a short one-week break.
And yes, I was like Yoo~~Hoo~~ So excited when I confirmed my flight ticket! Can't wait man, I can't wait!!!
I'm going to take as many photos as possible, so that I can flip through them again and again when I miss Perth. Yee~~Haaa~~
I'M GOING TO PERTH!
I'M GOING TO PERTH!
I'M GOING TO PERTH!
So, it was a co-incident that Irene returned today and we all went out for some kinda celebration! Look at the food!! Gosh!!!

Last but not least, do tell me of any job vacancies. I'm even looking forward to some part-time or freelance job, be it translations, any writings, extra in a movie or drama, modeling(if you dare, hehe) and you can even try me on emcee-ing!
