Hit Awards, S.H.E events and Family Gathering
It was a tiring weekend for me at the first weekend of this month.
The reason behind the tiredness was because of the lack of sleep and endless rushing for time.
Although the company off-day on 6 Oct, Friday was cancelled I still took half-day.
That day was a total rush for me.
After ending work, I took an hour bus ride to Jurong West for my organ lesson. After that I rushed down to ION to meet up with Little Prince and Little Princess who were already at OSIM press conference and have a good standing spot.
However no matter how I rushed I only managed to get to ION at 4pm, which was the scheduled start time for the press conference due to traffic jam and the bus moving so slowly. Luckily in the end the press conference was delayed and only started at around 5pm so I didn't miss out anything at all.
Press conference is seriously the best thing ever. There are just too many things for you to pick up and yy. Hehe....
After the half an hour press conference, the three of us made our way down to Kallang for the Singapore Hits Awards.
Initially it was just Little Prince and me but Little Princess' friends had extra tickets and they asked her along so the three of us went together. Since there was still a little time left we went to Little Prince's house which is nearby to dump out the photos she has taken at ION from the camera to her laptop.
We got to Singapore Indoor Stadium close to 7:30pm and quickly got in to settle down. Our seats wasn't that bad after all the stage was just right in front of us XD
Throughout the show we were basically just shouting non-stop. When pictures of the nominees came on we start shouting.
Overall the performance of the artistes were really good. Lala 徐嘉瑩 never fails to amaze me when she performed 《失落沙洲》 and 《身騎白馬》. It was really really good. Love her vocals!
Jam Hsiao 蕭敬騰 is just too cute to be missed. Of course his life performance that night was great too.
Mayday was a slight disappointment cause they lowered the key of the songs they performed. But nonetheless, they managed to get everyone present high!
S.H.E totally rocks! That night was like their concert night, the only difference was that they only sang 4 songs. Darn! I can't wait to see their concert happening right here in Singapore!
The whole award ceremony was only supposed to be from like 7:30pm to 10:30pm however everything went out of schedule. The program didn't start until around 8:30pm so the whole show ended at close to 12am.
Luckily there was a late night chartered bus service which takes us to different spots in Singapore so my sister and I took the bus to Jurong East and cab home.
By the time we got home it was already 1 plus in the morning and by the time we cleared everything and went to bed it was nearly 2am. However that still did not stop me from waking up early the next day.
Well, actually it did stop me. I was supposed to be out of bed at 4:40am but I only woke up at 5:10am when my mum came to wake me up =P
After showering and a quick breakfast, I took the direct bus to Causeway Point. I thought I would like fall asleep during the bus ride or while waiting but surprisingly I didn't.
Anyway, the whole arrangement at the venue sucks badly.
A lot of people were there early some in fact queued overnight bacause it was announced previously that S.H.E would only be signing for 1500 people. However because the space in the mall was filled with the products S.H.E endorsed we were not able to get in. All of us just waited outside until they start autographing then were we able to move into the mall slowly.
Since S.H.E had to rush for a flight the autograph session went by very fast. They basically just signed on the items that we brought up, looked up to smile at us, say thanks and zoom, we were gone.
Little Prince, Little Princess and I stayed around until the trio left since it was like kinda early and we had nothing to do plus they were signing pretty fast so it was like they would finish everything up soon.
As expected, the whole event ended at around 3 plus or 4. Consider fast for an autograph session.
Since my mum and sister were there too, I left with them to my grandmother's place to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. And since Little Prince and Little Princess were going the same way too, we travelled together.
My feet was literally in pain as we walked from the MRT station to my grandmother's place. The shoes were biting into my skin and it hurts like hell.
The first thing I did when I got to my grandmother's place was to get out of my shoes and gave my feet some breathing space.
After some lazing around, I accompanied my mum and aunts to the bakery nearby to get some more snacks.
It wasn't exactly a big party. Just everyone of the family gathered at my grandmother's house, had buffet, talked and laughed.
Mum and aunt arranging my favourite food =D
additional food we brought back from the bakery
this is what I call nice and delicious egg tarts! love it!
the pineapple tart that my mum bought home from that bakery is nice too :D
the place that sells egg tarts that i love~~~~~~~~~That night there was the tv telecast of the Hit Awards held the previous night so some of my cousins together with my sister and I, we stayed in my aunt's room and watched the tv.
Throughout the whole show, I was feeling quite tired and bored cause they edited out a lot of the funny/interesting that happened during the award ceremony. However something appeared on the screen and made me scream!
Our CE board appeared!!!!
Man, that was the happiest thing I felt for that night. But I scared my cousins and one of my aunts who happened to be in the room at that time =P
After the program ended, all of us left for home family by family. Before ending the post, just some pictures taken that day.
picture perfect... almost. Grandma with her grandchildren and great grandchildren :D
A goodbye kiss from my cousin's pretty daughter. Mucks!
Lastly, since it's grandma's birthday so as the most loved granddaughter that she looked after since I was young, it's only right that I post a picture that I took with her that day :D
