FiRST mag - Love and Honor

Was invited to the Gala Premier of "Love and Honor" by Caroline. The event was hosted by SPH Magazines Corporate Communications @ GV VivoCity. There was a pre-show cocktail reception between 7.30-8.45pm by Kriston. Delicious food!


The invitation card and the door gift - a bottle of wine.



I invited Grace and Ruo Yun along with her sister, Ruo Ting (From Left to Right). I wore a new dress. I troubled my optician again just for this event. The last time I wore contact lens was for my 21st Birthday Party and since the Left lens was of a different power, it's typically useless and anyway I lost the Left lens. So this time, I called them on the Saturday before and requested to get the lens by Monday! This means that they only had 1 day to get the lens for me, since they are not open on Sunday. I told her to get the lens based on my record and if they could get it by Monday then just order 2 boxes of monthly disposable lens for me (since this time round I can no longer get the trial pair) OR ELSE NO NEED TO ORDER!! Haha fierce right? I was prepared to go blind for the movie bcos looking pretty for the event was very important!! So Monday came and on my way home from school, I received a call from them and they got my lens of the correct power for me!!!! I went to collect my lens immediately and paid $160 for the 2 boxes, after $20 discount. Don't scold me for wasting $ haha, if you know me well enough, you will not be surprised that I do such stuff. oops!

The photographer took a picture of me with Caroline and Carmeni @ the event(will tell u more abt them sometime, anyway they are 2 tai tai).


I was looking for our pictures in many famous magazines but could not find it. Today, while chatting with Richardo, he asked if I attended a movie premiere and he saw my photo in some mag! Finally, I found it. It was featured in FiRST - asia's premier movie magazine, MAY 2007.

Due to the hot weather today, I was too lazy to get out of the house and decided to get the magazine before work @ dc. Settled everything @ dc n rushed to Bras Basah Complex, Cheers, Popular to look for the mag. Running all over the place lor, super hot and tired. But I Couldn't find it! Last hope lies on that corner Mama Shop beside EverGreen Book Shop @ Bras Basah and when I asked the uncle about the mag, the uncle said, "Under the umbrella." Hurray, I found it! Ok so I rushed back to dc and I had 15 minutes left.


FiRST Mag, MAY 2007 Page 045. I'm in there.. hee..
PS: It was nicely photographed! I DID NOT put on any make-up nor lipsticks. Not bad sia.. hee..

*********************************************************************************

Here comes the conversation I had with my boss, WG @ dc today abt the event. Yes, HE IS MY BOSS! We crap like nobody's business.


WG attended the event as well and knew that I went and we met there.


When I reached dc today:

WG (smiled as usual): You have 30 minutes.
me: Ok

WG was about to walk away but I STOPPED him.

me: Remember "Love and Honor"?
WG: Yes. (and said the name of the movie in Chinese which I forgot wat was it)
me: I was photographed and photo found in a magazine.
WG: So? ...Not interested.
me: Happy lar
WG: Chey! Don't waste my time.
He smiled and returned to his room while I rushed out to get the mag.


After I got the mag (and back in the office)..

WG: Orh!! Waste $ again.
me: I got the magazine. Here! (me showing him the page)
WG: So? I will not ask for you autograph one lor.
me: It's ok. You have my signature in the log book already lor. Haha
WG (smiled): Don't expect me to buy the mag lor.
me: No need to buy.
WG smiled and walked away.


After the briefing..


I was holding onto the magazine and walked past him..
WG: Lend me.
me: Orh. Take your time to search for my photo
WG: I will skip that page lor.
me: Aiya, you should look for it. It's on the top right hand corner. I lend u the mag, take your time to find.
WG: I WON'T!
Both of us laughed!!!


I ignored him and walked towards door6. But I turned back and saw him flipping the mag lar.. haha lamn boss right? Oops!



I was chatting with Alex and PK in circle 1 (= slacking). Since nothing to do, so take picture. And Sebastian was warming up. I like his voice.

About 10 minutes later, ShuJie came popping into circle 1 and passed me the mag. Obviously WG found the page and returned me.. I enjoyed "parking" myself @ dc on most evening bcos firstly, I have a very nice boss who always crap with me and meeting different people everynight and put on a smile to greet them allows me to destress and stay happy.

After work today, went for Beancurd @ Rochor Rd with Abel and Vincent..
Vincent found out that the shop recycled the plastic bowls and Abel thought it was ok since the "people do not lick the bowl". As for me, I am only worried about the chemicals that are released when the plastic bowls are washed. There was a report about 3 years ago on plastic bottle or container should not be used more than twice due to the harmful chemicals that released when washed. But I did not say anything during the supper, anyway whenever we go out for supper, I seldom get to TALK!! Haha. They will be deeply engage in their conversations and I had to wait till they finished before I am allowed to talk! So, I just keep quiet and eat my beancurd.


Abel sent me home after the supper. Thank you. =)
