This is a bit old but still, I wanna blog about it! Haha. Friday was a special day. A frentic, cursed, blessed day all rolled into one. It started off with me going to the movies with my mum. We watched The Queen. It was quite good and I think the female lead acted rather well and 'Tony Blair' was exceptional. It provided another viewpoint to the reactions of the royal family after Princess D's death which I think added quite a fair bit of humility to the queen. It's a nice show. Worth a weekend ticket.
Anyway, by this time, ps and twl had already msged me about the sk event later on in the day and I was supposed to meet the rest at 5pm. So after my movie, I walked around with my mum and while I was going to the mrt station, I walked past sk lucky plaza, saw michael, waved to him, but didn't go in. STUPID. luckily ps went in when she walked past. BECAUSE the event required invitation cards to go in!!!!! To see her close up!!! I'm an idiot. haha.
So luckily ps managed to get 2 tickets, which we thought would allow 4 pple to enter. But after some complications, we had to frantically get more tickets to allow us to go in. Luckily amanda was going home after I 'ordered' her to go home to change to formal attire. HAHA.. Luckily katherine transferred to bp so amanda could get tickets from her. All these was done while the four of us (me, amanda, chairmeh n ps) were rushing home to change into formal attire. What a headache. The dress code was luckily black, gold and diamonds. HAha. And fish n pw were too lazy to go hom to change. I think I might have maxed out my dialing times for this month just on Friday.
Called a cab and reached raffles city at 7+pm. I was wearing heels la... HAha.. But it was more comfortable than I expected it to be. I could even run about in them (which I think I couldn't previously). Haha. But then we realised the dress code wasn't adhered to so the others also got to go in with our extra tickets. We sampled,no, drank red wine, champagne all on empty stomachs. Haha. We saw celebs like kelly, phyllis quek, hady, jonathan and of course ahzi!! She was obviously the highlight cos when she arrived, EVERYONE swarmed to that area and there was much pushing and shoving. When she walked around to view the jewel exhibits, it was so packed, I walked to another side. Phyllis quek appeared in front of me and I said hello. So funny. She also said hello then she told me, "it's so squeezy..." HAHA. I wanted to say it's all auntie's fault but being the nice me, I kept my mouth shut. Then hady appeared in front of me but I didn't bother about it and even said 'excuse me' cos he was blocking my path. Haha.
Marcia suddenly appeared in front of me giving me a shock cos it meant ahzi was behind her. Since I had the chance, I helped the others ask if she received our cookies and chocs..
Me: yanzi, did u eat our cookies and chocolates?
she: yes yes...
me: how were the cookies?
she: not bad not bad (giving a smile)
me: the chocolates leh?
she: nice!! (flashing a grin)
haha... then i couldn't think of what else to say to her already cos there wasn't anyone beside me. Only ccc was beside me and we were trying to think of whatelse to say to her. in the end, we ended up talking to mavis instead. DUH. hahha... after she went backstage to prepare for her performance, we took our place in front of the stage. chairmeh asked me to go over closer to the center of the stage so i asked twl to follow since she was filming. then amanda came over as well. haha. so funny can.. we were looking and commenting on the new series of jewelry and chairmeh kept dropping hints on what he wanted his bday present to be. BLEAH. haha.. when she came on with her diamond encrusted mic, no one waved to her lorr. so i waved to her, and she saw and waved back to all of us. hahah. ok... the rest of the details are boring cos pple have already blogged about them. so skip to the last part!
people were feeling hungry after the event but everyone was like dunno where to go. so ps and i walked down to bk assuming pple would follow (turned out only a small group did). as i sat down in a chair, facing the counter, eileen suddenly shouted yanzi! and there she was! at the counter!! (idiot for the 2nd time today) she was with her friends and waiting for her food to be packeted and her change to be given. Alamak. we rushed over, queueing up behind her and she 'acknowledged' us in her 'cool' manner. haha. ccc told her he was very hungry and she said she also! eat eat eat.. later become fat. hahahah.. but it shows quite a bit when a celeb as big as her is willing to walk into bk with her frens to packet food. as she walked out, amanda and i realised sth horrifying and chiong out after her. after she signed the book for eileen, i whispered to her while amanda protected her. haha... her frens really should be more proactive. haha..
it's good to know there're still people out there who have a 'life-time dream to take a photo' with her. her fan base is huge! hahhaaaa....
why issit everytime we wanna patch things up, stuff will happen that will destroy the will to improve relations? More people are getting convinced in the lost cause now. beware.
