got woken up by a phone call from my dad. ended up quarrelling with him, no questions asked. like without fail, cny sure got this type of thing happen de. blah!! other then that helped mum prepared the food and drinks. first few pple came at about 12 plus, all the way till about 4-5 plus. luckily they came in waves, otherwise will be damn busy. was in my room for much of the afternoon. only gg out to take food and drinks, when wanted or when my mum needed help or when the drink finished up. last guest left at about 12 plus. went to sleep after cleaning up the house. yup.
Sunday, Feb 10, 2008 woke up at 7:30. headed down to yishun for the 9am service. played the drums for p&w then i left for katong after that. got breakfast at macs, trained down to dobby ghaut and 14-ed down. reached church in time. played drums for p&w, no practice. blah!! no lunch was provided after service cause pastor's house was open. didnt go. went out for lunch with bro and eugene. chicken rice, and we saw this really really pretty girl!! woah!! oops!! heh sorry.
you are still the prettiest and sexiest to me :)
headed down to plaza sing after that. did some window shopping while waiting for my bro's queue number, as he was changing his phone. after he got the phone, i suddenly remembered about my portfolio. nothing was done, except for the photos. just the photos itself. how to present?? went to times to see if could get what i wanted. failed, spotlight was next. same result. in the end went to Made With Love. ended up doing my portfolio there, as in the booklet, or whatever you want to call it. and also with Shili's help, cause she happened to be working there. yeah. bro was making most of the decisions while eugene was kind enough to help us hold our stuff. by the time we were done with it, it was past 9pm. their closing time. heh and i paid a whopping $105.05 just for the materials!! cost me a bomb. but like what my bro and the staff said. my future is in my portfolio's hands. dinner-ed at macs. ordered a McSpicy meal, with cheese. got my food, tucked in and only to realise half way tat there wasnt any cheese in the burger. went to the counter, complained. and they offered to put the cheese in into my half eaten burger. luckily i agreed, cause i was in a good mood, otherwise i would have demanded for a new burger!! oh wells. talked on the phone while waiting for the cab and also on the cab. reached home. straight away continued on the portfolio. completed the interior of the book, while printing the final selected photos. by the end of the night, it was 90% completed. just needed to choose two more pics and add in captions for the photos and also the burning of the videos and photos into a dvd.

woke up at 7:30 again. heard the morning assembly. first thing i went 'SHIT!!' cause i didnt wake up for morning call. :( i am sorry!!! showered, then went over to yx's place. that was about 8:30 plus. helped me burned the stuff into the dvd. thanks!! came back. slept again at about 9:30. got woken up at 12pm by my bro, phone call. and by then i was literally rushing for time, cause my interview was at 2pm and i still got to go down to cityhall to meet my bro to settle the captions and then still got to travel to np. left home at 12:20. cabbed down to city hall. met my bro, then he and his collegue helped me with the captions. stayed at there as long as i could. by then it was 1:20pm. had to go cause i had to reach 10 mins before the interview. complicated the portfolio before i left, just needed to attach the dvd to the book. cabbed down to np. reached on time. confirmed my attendance then waited for my turn. well, the moment i stepped into the interview room and i went YES!! in my heart. cause the interviewer was the lecturer that i talked to during the JAE when i went down to np. so wasnt feeling exactly awkward. showed him my portfolio, answered questions, explained some of the photos, the usual questions for an interview. done. went back to the waiting room, then had to wait for another 3-4 more people cause still got group interview. group interview. total of 5 people. given this scenerio, that we had to produce a new variety show, and we had to choose three factors randomly. and also had to fit in the age group, target audience for the show, showed on local or cable tv, name of the show,number of contestants, how would the winner win, is it educational, and how long the show would be and all the stuff. and so the three factors that we chose were that the show had to do with local food, only female contestants are allowed and got to include celebrities. we were like given only 15 minutes to dicsuss then had to present it to the lecturers. brainstormed. and we ended up with this.
-name of the show, Rojak Race -it will be something like amazing race, except that its food -age group for female contestants, 18-45 -contestant must have a basic english standard -show will be aired on every tuesday, on Must See Tuesday. 8-9pm -target audience would be everyone in the public -there will be three teams for each eposide, in pairs. where the winner will stay on for the next episode -Adrian Pang would be the main host, with two other invited celebrities guests to attend the show -winner for the overall season would be the person with the most wins and prize would very from Shopping, spa vouchers to instant cash.
overall it was quite okay. found out more about the people that i had the group interview with. this malay guy was about 20+, i think. cause he said he went to nyp, drop out, went to ite, drop out went to ns then came for this interview. yaa another indian girl, i think from juring town school or something liddat. was quite quiet so didnt ask much. another guy from Catholic High, i think his name is Andrew. was very very quiet. no much info also. then another girl from Presbyterian High,name should be jessica if i never remember wrongly, her results. L1R4 was 9 points. and she only applied for jpsae. she didnt know that she could apply for jae as well. talked about portfolio and stuff, about the interview and stuff. quite a easy person to talk to. pity she isnt a christian. a free thinker. didnt get her email add or number cause we only knew each other and talk to each other for like what? 20-30 mins. went our seperate ways after reaching clementi mrt. she was heading to jurong, while i was heading to the east. but i had no idea where to go. cause i was either gg to meet my friend or meet my brother for movie. in the end met my bro at his office. caught a little bit of sleep then headed down to marina after that. watched Ah Long. emmm. its still okay. to me, the story line isnt that good, but for comedy wise, its thumbs-up. yup. headed home after that. showed parents the portfolio and filled them in with the interview. slacked and slept after that.

slept till abt 2 plus. probably due to the lack of sleep i had over the past few nights, ever since friday night. bathed the dog, settled my lunch and by the time i packed my stuff, i could leave home and meet my brother at payer lebar. did exactly that. mrt-ed down, met him at macs. and a while later justin came. like a longlong time never see him la, my bro's friend. last time i saw him was 4 years ago, like when we played soccer at the carpark at midnight. classic, that was what he said. haha. bus-ed down to parkway after my bro and i finished our meal of chicken nuggets then walked to east coast. started playing soccer the moment we reached. cause today was like from 7-10 pm. justin left at 9 though. played until 10 pm, then there were like 8 of us left, then JonE had a brilliant idea of playing another hour. so ended up playing another hour from 10:20pm till 11:20. and we played in the way that which ever team let in one goal had to do 10 push ups. and it was the young team versus the old team, by the time we finished playing, i did like close to 60 push ups la. aching arms, like didnt do for like how long already la. got a lift back as usual. dinnered then, bathed, and here i am blogging. yup.
guess i shall post the pictures later, in the night. pictures taken during cny and pictures of my portfolio. =)
