I am so proud of myself… Firstly I converted Kitty into a Solitaire Showdown addict. Next I turned Huiyi into a Nasi Lemak fan.

For some reason, Lingzhi was loitering in the studios after 10pm.. *yup.. no boyfriend = no life* I managed to convince her to go do something productive, so that we could proceed for supper when my shift ends.

That turned out to be an awful mistake. She made me wait till 12am. Hmmm.. Huiyi came along and I managed to persuade them not to go to Bt Timah/ Holland V/ Jurong.. but to drive straight to my favourite Nasi Lemak hangout.

After gobbling down a plate of rice, Huiyi actually contemplated on ordering another one! There we go, another Nasi Lemak fan.

Unfriendly auntie. But cool chicken wings and ultra fragrant rice. Yum.

Finally have the chance to blog after 2 fun filled days.. Amazingly, I got up earlier on non working days than on working days…

Fri was an action packed day. Scrambled to the costume shop to source for an outfit. My hopes were dashed when they told me the God of Fortune costume was not available. Settled for a Jap Samurai costume instead.

By the time the dinner started, I was in a half snoozing mode.. The mad rush from costume shop, to rehearsals, to dressing up.. Wheew..

Perked up when the wine was served… I was busy toasting everyone. Nearly flipped when someone said “Bottoms Down“.. Where did that person come from?! (Rebecca Yap , are you reading this? =P)

A colleague came over to my table and said, “Cheers to Motherhood!” Not to be left out, I stood up and initiated a “Cheers to Singlehood“. Subsequently, I shouted “Cheers to Virginhood“.. Everyone sat down.. Hmmm..

Many thanks to the two Js who drove a super high guy for supper, and made sure he reached home safely..

Sat was a great opp to recover from the intoxicated state. Only activity of the day was to attend Fish Leong’s Concert.

While her costume and hair had much room for improvement, the No 1 Ah Jie of Rock Records effortlessly showcased her powerhouse vocals. 对不起我爱你、勇气、听不到、为我好！ Wow!

Wakin’s wit and humour were on the boundary of being funny and OTT though.

Surprisingly, this Sun turned out to be a non-sleeping-in day..

Arrived at the newly decorated houses of two of my sec school mates. While I was quite happy with the current status, one of the girls was getting freaked out that 2 out of the 9pax group are getting married this year, the other 3 are attached, with 1 viewing houses later in the day.. [26] seems to be so.. erm.. old?!

For the record, I don’t hit 26 till Sep.. And in case anyone is wondering, YES, I am single and very much available.. And NO, I am not in a hurry to settle down. Thanks for the concern.

Woke up reeeaaal early this morning…Arrived in camp at 9am to “settle some business”. Then it was back home to catch a couple of winks before reporting for work.. Almost couldn’t get out of bed at 3pm.. The rain! Ah! Such a conducive environment for sleeping in… Hmmm…

Before I could start to do any production, I had to do recording sessions with Lin Guan Yin and Wu Ke Qun. That’s where we gather all the scripts/ questions by all DJs, and get the artistes to record everything in one shot..

Miss Lin, has such big and lovely eyes! Not the typical 玉女 kind of beauty, but is pretty in her own right. Mr Wu should sack his entire team of photographers. He look so much better in person.. The photos don’t do him any justice.

The feel of XGJY Day 4 is pretty much better than the previous 3. Think i’ve more or less settled down in the new shift.

One thing I need to take note is the supper issue. Tuna bun on monday. Nasi Lemak on tue and wed… The astonishing part is the speed I took to finish a plate of rice with curry veg+ chicken wing+ otah = the time Kitty took to consume one miserable chicken wing.. OMG..It’s 0:30hrs.. Finishing up some stuff.. And I’m already planning for supper with Peifen. That’s it…..

MediaCorp Radio’s Dinner & Dance will be held tomorrow night. The theme is Wild Wild East. Been scheduled to host a segment.. And i haven’t started the hunt for a suitable outfit. My friends would say, “That is so unlike me..”. Contemplating to wear the “Dragon Shirt” on the main page. Unless I can get a dramatically outrageous costume.. Chinese Emperor? Ali Baba? Sumo wrestler? Haha… Wish me luck…

In a bid to make Xian Ge Ji Yi sound more like a night show, I dimmed the lights in the studio. Objective is tone down a little and bring the energy level down a few notches.

Yup, the “very romantic ambience” was created. But then I had problem reading the dedications! Haha.

Stepped into Radio Building this afternoon with a hand firmly placed on my tummy. I wonder who started that. No use at all! (for me at least…) Huishi provided a remedy from Thailand, much like the 保济丸 we’re more familiar with.

The production suite was occupied with Peifen and our part-time DJs. After our round of revamp, the weekend programming is taking on a new look, (or “sound”, if you prefer..). It took a sheepish smile plus an act-cute “Pleeeeease” to make Peifen give up the seat at the editing booth. I completed my stuff in 15 mins before witnessing another round of “may i use first?“.

The all new 每次只有半小时 was launched at 8:30pm. Peifen, Li Teng, Junli and Jiahui were all extremely excited about the launch and demanded a full explaination of what we were going to do. Not that I didn’t want to.. The constant urge to visit the loo, and the ever-so-evident sensation from down under kept me from shouting and laughing with them.

Forty minutes into my shift, a headache developed. The tragic thing about having a “bright and sunshine-y voice” is that no one believes you’re unwell. Huishi asked me to tone down a little, another said i sounded like I was on top of the world.

Huh?! If you could just see my expression off air.
