yooohooo back to update about the ending to a FABULOUS weekend.

so yesterday was sunday 3/9/2006. and it was my last day at working/drumming for standard chartered @ comex. haha we met at 12 at expo and fit was delayed because there was a HUGE jam at the junction. might be due to the fact that it was the last day of the comex exhibition and people were literally STREAMING into expo. you cant blame them. it's a sale for gosh's sakes haha!

so our instruments came like at nearly 1pm. LOL so we practised a little and den got ready. and it was quite crazy. all the bosses were there at standard chartered today. so we had to give a damn good show. and i tink we really gave it our best. you know the phrase 'save the best for the last'. we really applied it here at the last day of the exhibition. feel thoroughly satisfied with it.

so after the comex i rushed down immediately from expo to mediacorp. cus PINKBEE smsed me that chongqing said ahzi will come ard 4.30pm. and it was 4.20pm! so i was damn kan cheong. haha. kept telling the taxi uncle to drive faster. and he was going 110km/h at a 90km/h road. LOL. and i still felt not fast enough. in the end, bee smsed me to say that ahzi came already. i immediately zzz. 12 dollars cab fare to rush down to see ahzi and i missed it. LOL. but it's okay.

den when i reached radio gate i asked bee to come out to find me, cus i was abit lost hahaa!but unlike ben who got lost near an ulu forest. for more details, refer to PINKBEE'S BLOG! ok so den i reached. met joyce and wanfong. joyce was so nice la!she gave me so many SK stuff that i never knew existed LOL. and the super duper big SK JEWELLERY brochure that couldn't fit into my file LOL. shortly after saw shihui and she sat down with us. and i proudly announce that PINKBEE AND SHIHUI ARE COUPLES! lol. while shihui loves pinkbee more, pinkbee doesn't reprocicate it. sad for shihui. and chairmeh and ben were like so 'loving' haha! btw, i signed up to be in the YanziUnlimited Fan Club already! so happy when zy gave me the form. cus i totally didn't expect to be given at that time. to quote myself 'patience is a virtue' HAHAA!

there were false alarms while we were waiting lo. suddenly someone shouted, and everyone jus stand up and rushed to the door, to find out that it's a false alarm. so we continued sitting down. at about 6.30pm the doors opened and some of the guys jus rushed in to get the seats for us. we sat on the right side facing the stage and we were so damn kiasu la!haha!booked too many seats in the end. and den we were given the LED boards and banners and barang barang. haha. it was so nice to sit with the FC cus they're really ICHIBAN! anyways so we sat down and i tink we were the noisiest of the whole audience man. den while waiting the tv kept showing channel 5. den got the simpsons so i watched it. den it was advertisement. AHZI CAME ON TO PROMOTE THE PRESIDENT'S STAR CHARITY. actually i din recognise her, but the face was so familiar, den when i saw her. i screamed, or rather the whole fc screamed along. LOL. it was so sudden and shocking.

okay den at 7.30pm THE SHOW STARTED. but they had on the tv screen, the list of stars who were showing up. so when ahzi's face came up, we screamed again. the next face was dick lee, so suddenly it was HUSH again. damn bad, but i tink we don't really care la. haha! den the stars came out in full, but sad to say, ahzi didn't come out. cus she was one of the special guests i guess.haha.

the first part of the show was quite boring, but we rehearsed screaming and shouting for ahzi during jenny's and patricia's mok segments haha. and comments from those watching from the tv were that, we were not loud enough. so we had to give 200% during ahzi's segment. oh btw, bee's NORMAN came to perform. LOL. =p

ok so during the interval, the stage was set for some tabla players, initially i thought it might be shen qi but den when the dancers came out, we were thinking 'aiya shld not be la' BUT suddenly a lovely figure came out wearing lovely clothes and we suddenly screamed!LOL. cus it was AHZI! and throughout shen qi, we were all screaming and singing along with her. and we did the trademark action but we used the 5 sign instead. LOL. we were all screaming and ahzi waved to ALL OF US! even the 3 tabla players were looking up and laughing at us. the whole audience was truly explosive LOL. tink we got filmed by the camera twice with all our LED boards and the lights dimmed so that it could be seen properly.

den ahzi sang her second song by the eagles ' Love will keep us alive'. wonderful rendition. know why? cus ahzi was using the headset microphone, so that doesn't allow her to 'pull' the mike when she sings the high notes. even though ahzi didn't know much of the lyrics to the song, because there was the 'da zi bao' in our direction. she still gave a superb performance. wahaha!after she finished singing, we cheered and clapped for her.!

btw i saw myself ON TEEVEE!

den came on to the finale. ahzi was so mei dao~~~~~~~! while the other artistes wore white, she wore black. but there was something gleaming around her neck. it was the LOLA NECKLACE that we gave her! omgggg we immediately screamed for her attention when we saw the lola necklace. and ahzi responded by touching the necklace and pointing to us!!!! so high can!and what's better? SHE GAVE US FLYING KISSES AGAIN! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! and not once, but twice ok? haha.

but ahzi gave us flying kiss at the wrong time lol. she gave us a flying kiss when the host was announcing the passing of one of the top person in a management, and we completely couldn't hear it. was so pai seh la. haha! =x the funny part came when ahzi turned around and there was a long piece of jewellery dangling down almost nearing to her waist. we immediately burst our laughing LOL. den ahzi signalled 'i love you' to us and we screamed again. LOL.

den after the show, we stayed there while talking to ahzi too. den she told us to go home and den got duno what ultraman sign and stuffs haha! but i saw most of it la. and i heard the sp performers got to take a group picture with ahzi la!timothy you lucky bugger LOL. brendan you lucky bugger!

so after that we ran all the way to the radio gate to wait for ahzi's van to come out. den we saw a silver van 2035 and we screamed and waved to ahzi!LOL and she waved back to us and even looked back and continued waving. tink she was really really happy, and we were happy too. :) the van sped away when we were chasing, but when we stopped chasing, the van slowed down %^&*(*&^% BUGGERS LOL.

anyways went to the famous thompson prata house to eat. and thankyou to TWL for treating us! although we paid 2 bucks each, but i believe that's not enough lo. haha. the cheese and egg prata is nice. yummy!haha.

im still sooooooooooooooo blardy high after PSC 2006!

btw, today is HUIXIAN'S MY BELOVED COUSIN/SISTER BIRTHDAY. totally love her so much you know. she always come and accompany me and make me realise about life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIE JIE!
