Sean Kingston dropped by Singapore for Formula1 as one of the performing acts. Joyce, Daniel and me went for his arrival at the airport. We got our albums signed and took photos with him. Unexpectedly, when we approached him cautiously for an autograph, his fucked up manager tried to shoo us away. Undeterred, we decided to walk to SK from another direction and again tried asking him politely for an autograph. His manager rudely replied, ' NO! ' .. Well, we weren't talking to him in the first place! Anyway SK was nice enough to finally give an autograph after his manager's rude retort. I would say that he's not really very friendly but still, he's not that bad after all.
After that, Joyce and me headed down to David's house to collect the F1 pass since he had an extra one for Joyce, while Daniel went home to take a nap.
After which, we went to Centrepoint for MacDonalds. Coincidentally, my mum called and told me that she too, had an extra F1 pass for me! Everyone got their passes in the last minute!
To be honest, somehow rather, I enjoyed the race but the noise was really unbearable. My ear still hurts.
Spotted this cute guy and wanted to snap a picture to show my friends, but my phone batt went dead before I could take a clearer shot. Too bad.. !
Met up with Daniel and Brian at Mariah Carey's concert located at Zone4 after the race. It was an extremely long walk and I swear, I nearly fainted from heat stroke. Trust me, it was worth it because the concert was so awesome!
I regret not attending the Adam Lambert and Sean Kingston performances earlier on that evening.

Lunch at Xin Wang HK Cafe, Changi Airport with Daniel while waiting for Tiga James!
Our drinks!
Pineapple Bun.
Fried Seafood Wanton.
Pork Chop Burger.
P/S: Don't believe what you see on the menu. I thought it was supposed to look like this but...
I guess it doesn't matter much how it looks, as long as the food still tastes delicious.
This was served last! I figured this is can be prepared fast but I guess it's not so instant after all. And yes, what you see in these pictures are exactly what we got.
We went for another round of lunch at Popeye's Chicken because our flight arrival prediction was wrong this time.
Daniel looked so happy! HAHA!
After that, we were too tired and gave up waiting for Tiga James and took a train back to town.
Daniel went home to change for F1 while I was, as usual, busy admiring his loft apartment.
11:41 PM
Sending my BFF off at the airport was the hardest part of my life. I have always loved greeting people when they arrive in Singapore and I totally hate sending them off. The feeling of fetching them is always a feeling of joy as I usually have not seen them for a long time. However sending people off, especially a best friend, is excruciatingly heart breaking and would lead to a tearful farewell.
The thought of Manfred leaving, even temporarily, has never been a happy one.
I MISS YOU, MY BFF.
After Manfred checked in at T1, we went to T3 for dinner while waiting for Joyce and MC to arrive.
Manfred and me ordered the Thai curry again, we never fail to order it whenever we dine-in at the foodcourt.
We managed to take some photos before Manfred left. Daniel and Brian didn't get to reach in time after F1 even though they booked a cab.
Shan, Manfred and MC.
After Manfred went in, we went back to T3 for Missy Elliot. Joyce, Daniel and Shan took pictures with her. She was very nice and friendly.
Daniel got his autograph signed on the F1 pass. Sorry for the blurred picture, took this picture while the train was moving.
Gonna sleep soon, meeting Daniel in a few hours time again to stalk Tiga!

Manfred was supposed to fly off yesterday, but had to change his flight on the 24th which is tomorrow because his visa application encountered some slight problems.
I accompanied Manfred to the UK Visa Application Centre located at Tanjong Pajar to collect this Visa. I had to wait outside the office while Manfred went in to collect his documents. Thankfully the waiting time was short. I was very relieved when he told me that his visa was approved. At first, both of us were so worried that he couldn't get the Visa because if he were to re-apply, he would need to pay another large sum of money just for the registration fees and he can't cancel the already paid hostel fee.
Shopped at Orchard before our stalking day starts
While waiting for some F1 drivers, we happened to see The Chippendales. We didn't expect to see them there since we didn't know where they were staying. Joyce and me were urging Manfred to confirm if they were indeed The Chippendales since the drivers we were waiting for were not anywhere to be seen. Turns out it wasn't a cheap thrill for us(especially Joyce because she is still into the 'chippendales craze').
The hottie, whom she thinks is hot waved and smiled only at HER.
Manfred and The Chippendales.
It was a waste that Daniel couldn't hang out with us because he needed to be in camp even though he doesn't think any of them are cute. Oh well.. we don't think they're cute either. Its more like we think they are just damn HOT! LOL!
After that, we went off to grab some food and once again saw some of The Chippendales hotties at Burger King. Manfred commented the fact that they're there is so 'American'. We then went to get something light to munch on at Toast Box.
Ordered a drink and Traditional kaya toast. Somehow the kaya toast reminds me of our dear friend, Golf from Thailand who loves Singapore's kaya toast and revealed that the one they have in Bangkok tastes slightly different.
When it's time for us to go home, I decided to take a straight bus home thinking that it was faster but I ended up waiting for more than an hour while Joyce and Manfred had already reached home!
I had so much mixed feelings at that moment; Hungry. Sleepy. Tired. Worried. Scared. Pissed.
Tweeted so much of anger and was very shocked that Carolyn called and asked if I need a ride because she was somewhere near. I was totally touched but I decided not to trouble her since it was quite late.
I was also very suprised that my Korean friend called me on Skype. Totally had no idea how it got through since I didn't log in to my Skype account but decided to pick up the call anyway. Thankfully I had someone to talk to as the taxi driver looked as though he doesnt know the way and the road seemed so unfamiliar. I only felt at ease and was ready to hang up only when I recognised the KK Hosiptal. LOL.

This is what kept me busy these few days to the extent that I feel like I completely ran out of energy. My days were filled with outtings!
Saturday, 18th September 2010
Met up with Manfred at Square2 to collect his facial medication after which, we headed down to United Square for lunch and shopped around. We took a bus down to the Temple located near Bugis Street because 'Uncle Manfred' wanted to pray for luck regarding his Visa's approval since there were no updates on its status.
We walked down from Bugis after shopping at Cathay and Plaza Singapura.
I love shopping at Daiso now since they renovated the shop and it's much more spacier and they have a wider range of stuff.
BIG deco tapes. Cute eh?
Basically, we did alot of shopping and finally stopped at Far East for dinner.
Fried Chicken Mee. Suprisely, it tasted really good, compared to the Wanton Mee I ordered.
After dinner, we did some last minute shopping and then headed down to Forum for supper at Macdonalds!
Sunday, 19th September 2010 Dinner buffet at Qian Xi Restaurant. The food tasted so much better than last year when we were there. Anyway, I didn't manage to snap more photos. Sorry!
I had an awesome weekend. It started off with Manfred inviting me to go to his farewell dinner at Lenas with Brian, Daniel, Joyce and his camp friends.
I love creammmmmmy pasta! No idea why Daniel and Manfred kept laughing at me because I ordered this and when I asked them why, they laughed and said "..inside joke.."
The food was not very fantastic, the baked potato and coleslaw seemed tasteless probably because it was quite dry.
What a healthy vegan pizza!
Joyce's set.
Brian
Daniel.
Manfred's camp friend. He's such a funny guy. LOL!
Jacky and Manfred.
Manfred and Daniel.(My favorite picture!)
After dinner, we went to Brian's house to chill out before heading down to Tantric and Taboo.
It was my first visit to a bar(Tantric) and club(Taboo), not to mention, a gay one at that. The experience was happening and unforgettable! I spent most of the time looking at other guys dancing and touching each other. Some even stripped their tops off! Oh well.....
Most of them were not very good looking though, with the exception of the angmohs. LOL!

Met up with Irene and we hung out around our neighbourhood. I spotted this beautiful cat near the playground. Seemed like it belongs to someone esle since it had a collar on. We fed it with some chicken crackers and chocolate ice-cream we bought and it actually ate everything!! Such a cute cat! Hopefully I'll still see it around when we hangout near that block again!

Yesterday was a cold and nasty day. I was supposed to accompany Manfred to Orchard and City Hall to take some photographs but changed our plans in the last minute due to the rainy weather.
So, we ended up meeting at Orchard MRT and went for our late lunch at Wisma Food Republic.
We ordered the fried carrot cake and surprisingly, I managed to finished everything with little help from Manfred. I guess I tend to eat alot when the weather is cold.
Dinner was at Plaza Singapura, Foodcourt.
I ordered the Indonesian Chicken set since I wanted something more filling and the stall was the nearest one to our table. The food was very tasty and delicious but their service really sucks. I had to ask them 2-3 times for the chilli before they actually gave it to me with a 'black face'. NBCB!
We also walked down to have Rochor Beancurd for Supper after shopping.
I had no idea why everyone claims that the Beancurd there is nice. I don't think it's above average and to make things worse, we were sitting near this table with a group of mother fucking whores and a gay who talked and laughed so loud, it was as though the whole damn fucking stall belonged to them. Totally spoiled our fucking mood.
Even the shop cleaners kept looking at them, but of course did nothing. If I were him, I would have asked them to either shut the fuck up and eat or fuck off.
After Supper, we walked down to City Hall and rested our butts at the Fairmont hotel lobby since Macdonalds was packed like sardines. We chatted and gossiped a bit before going back home!
What a tiring day, my legs turned jelly due to all that walking by the time I reached home. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s not always necessarily bad. I love to walk and the sore is like an acknowledgement of a healthy long walk.(Only when the weather is prefect!)

Korean boy bands are a huge hit in the Philippines.
Why do Filipinos love Korean boybands like Shinee, U-Kiss and Super Junior so much? Is it because of their boylish look? Is it because of their catchy songs? Is it because of their cool grooves? Or is it because of their infectious music videos?
The long wait is over. Now is the time to have their very own!
I believe they now have a boyband that will give these Korean bands a run for their money. Introducing XLR8!
XLR8?! Naming your boyband after a Ben10 character isn’t exactly a brilliant idea when you're supposed to come off as cool and fresh. One way to make a good impression is to choose a name that sparks interest and sticks to the target audiences' mind.
Anyway...
XLR8 consists of 8 members namely Adrian Muhlach, Arkin Del Rosario, Caleb Santos, Carlo Lazerna, Francis Ramos, Hideaki Torio, Melmar Magno, and Meljohn Magno.
The 12-songs from the album are mostly good, catchy and proudly Pinoy. Their songs are mostly in english and tagalog. I always thought that a song with both tagalog and english lyrics might be baduy, but they proved otherwise.
These charismatic cuties will surely be an interesting addition to the Philippines' entertainment industry.
However, XLR8 is embroiled in controversy over their image and music. Some KPOP fans accuse their image as being really similar to Super Junior's and some of their songs, particularly "You're so hot" to be very much akin to Super Junior's hit song "Sorry Sorry."
Let's face it, Kpop isn't exaclty entirely original. In fact, no one is original these days. Instead of criticizing XLR8 or new bands as copycats or wannabe's, we should appreciate that they drew influences from these bands and infused them with their own style. It's not copying, but its an attempt of creating of a new brand of music influenced heavily by KPOP and Filipino music.
Also, they DIDN'T plagiarized Super Junior's concept for an album cover. Don't be too sure that it is exactly the same, when its not even close to being similar!
Whatever!
Even if they were really imitating Super Junior, well at least it's a compliment to Super Junior!
