Marvellous Monday
I was surprisingly upbeat even though I didn’t sleep well last night. Ya lah, those silly links at www.bored.com kept me occupied for a while.
And I was late for work this morning. **Drama Tune**
An unexpected big scale DETOX session happened at about 6am. My usual 10 mins wash- up- haven’t- finished- drying- but- just- go- go- go- routine was therefore delayed.
While sprinting in from the gate a few minutes after 7am, I met colleagues from the Engineering and Finance Departments. “Die! Die Die! I’m late!”
“Haiyahz. Never mind lah. Got Lingzhi mah.”
Ar bish.
Over lunch I was doing my best to cheer my behind-the-scenes colleagues who were (and still ARE) super duper stressed over the Singapore Hit Awards this Friday.
Cruz to A: “What’s the problem?”
A recites her problem(s).
Cruz to A: “Never mind one. Things will sort out by themselves.”
***
Cruz to B: “What’s the problem?”
B recites her problem(s).
Cruz to B: “Never mind one. You see huh. There’s this saying 船到桥头自然直““
***
Cruz to Boss: “And what’s the problem?”
Boss aka Feng Huishi recites her problem(s).
Cruz to Boss: “Haiyah. Don’t so stressed. Go home early tonight, put on a mask, and sleep. Then celebrate Deepavalli tomorrow, and everything will be ok.”

Erm, I was duly ignored while they gobbled the remaining food on their respective plates.
Hahaha.

Truth is, a lot of blood and sweat and tears go into the preparation of each year’s Singapore Hit Awards. Unless Singapore has a large enough domestic market.. Unless people stop downloading songs illegally and buying unauthorized imports from China, we’re never going to be like Taiwan where a whole swarm of A-listers, wannabes and Cannot-Make-Its attend the same awards ceremony.
Then again, the logistical issue is different. A simple illustration would be the travel component. You see huh… Heavenly King A takes a limousine to the Taiwan Awards, but hor, Heavenly King A will need a Business Class ticket to the Singapore Hit Awards. Then sometimes, a Tom, Dick or Harry who claims to be a close companion of Heavenly King A will also demand a Business Class ticket. Siao ah? Cannot take economy ah?
How to fork out money to buy Business Class tickets for the whole swarm of A-listers, wannabes, Cannot-Make-Its and their croonies? Unless they are willing to fly in on a budget carrier. Haha. Not bad mah. Can choose seats leh!
Then comes Heavenly Queen B, who refuses to travel by any cuckoo airline but Singapore’s very own. Eh, SQ very expensive leh.
Let’s not forget Heavenly Group C. Five people = Five suites. Maybe five of them will cram into one room if I bluff them that the hotel is haunted. Hahaha.
This is but a minute part of the headaches that go on unheard and unseen.
有时真的觉得台下比台上精彩。。。

The Singapore Hit Awards is happening this Friday…
By the way, you know that tickets going for $88, $58 and $38 can be purchased at SISTIC right?
And you know we have a 4-For-3 promotion going on for the $58 and $38 categories hor?
And you know that I’m hosting the ceremony right? But did you know that I’m going to be an award presenter as well?
Wahahaha.
I just received the script today. Being hosts of 醉心龙虎榜, Liyi and I will present 2 awards, namely 榜上风光奖 and 醉心龙虎榜 顶尖金曲。
How cool is that. 大会司仪 兼 颁奖人！
