Would someone please explain to me what she meant by “I can give very seductive eye contact“, and “use my eyes to give electricity“. OMG.

Very radio drama worthy lor
29 April 2009 Wednesday | -

You know what, I’ve been following the AWARE saga rather closely. As the 2 May showdown approaches, both sides are going all out to garner support. Who says Singapore is boring?

A brief summary of events:

1. AWARE holds Annual General Meeting. A lot of people don’t bother to show up, as usual.

2. New members who signed up just before the AGM turn up in full force, and land nine spots in the new executive committee.

3. Old guards shout, “It’s a consipiracy!” The new people say, “You all sala! Let us put things right!”

4. Two key factors why the tussle hit headlines: Religion and Sexual Orientation.

5. Extraordinary General Meeting to be held. Old guards want to regain control; new exco wants to consolidate power.

The plot thickens during the final countdown.

1. Confidential emails surface, leaders from both sides emerge. The old guards have a field day exposing one ‘secret’ after another. The new exco has yet to cause major damage to the integrity of their predecessors.

2. AWARE EGM to be held at Expo (instead of Toa Payoh). According to the exco, it is because they require a bigger venue to accommodate the large number of new members who are expected to turn up.

3. WayangParty claims that the change to Expo is to “facilitate” voting. The Church of Our Saviour happens to be doing an event next door. New exco chairman and several other members happen to attend the same church.

4. EGM venue changed yet again. It’s Suntec City (for the time being?).

Because I have an engagement at Expo on Saturday, I was contemplating on signing up as an Associate Member. I’m not sure about the fees, but I thought the action would be worth every cent. Now that it’ll be held at Suntec, I’ll just have to rely on Twitter.

Very happening. Very drama. Especially when a 71 year old lady- armed with a law doctorate, was asked by a Ministry to substantiate her claims.

If I do a radio drama adaptation, will it be a hit?

Happiest Man in Radio
28 April 2009 Tuesday | -

Yes. At 1.44am today, I declare myself to be the HAPPIEST MAN IN RADIO.

I have finally completed the mammoth task of scripting all 25 episodes for the current Radio Drama [2009]. I haven’t been blogging about this project, much unlike the way I used to harp incessantly on my previous productions. But you know about this Drama la hor?

I’ve just went through one of the most amazingly tough periods of my life (in recent memory). There was the morning show revamp in Mar. While coping with one school assignment after another, I was struggling at the same time to do the radio drama. I skipped a couple of concerts; I turned down several mahjong invites; I (politely) asked people to buzz off on MSN Messnger; I was getting frequent headaches. I felt like I was a no-life loser who totally overestimated oneself.

Until now.

The last assignment of the semester was submitted last Friday. And the scripting was completed minutes ago.

I’m free to paint the town red! WOOHOO!

For a day or two only lah.

Because examinations begin next week in 2 weeks.

Come mid may, I’ll be the happier than happiest man in Radioland.

AWARE – And Why You Should Cancel Your DBS Credit Cards
25 April 2009 Saturday | -

For an entire week, I was wondering why no one mentioned anything about cancelling their DBS credit cards. Ok, maybe they didn’t have any cards from DBS to begin with.

When asked why he’s terminating his card(s), Mr Wang will say that it’s because of their Head of Marketing, Josie Lau.
