Hola Holga Lola lalala.

First roll from Holga 120 GCFN. IMAGE HEAVY. 21 PHOTOS. )

On a separate note, I got to interview Taufik yesterday! Quite impromptu. He's really down-to-earth and funny, but it all went well. My article can be viewed here.

Of the Osmonds, Yasmin Ahmad and Air Supply.

DONNY OSMOND SHOOK MY HAND FOR 2 SECONDS!!

You may not know who he is, but go ask your mother. She probably knows and had a 'puppy love' crush on him from a long, long time ago till now, haha.

This was him, then, and now. You should have seen how 40/50 year old babyboomers gushing over their Donny. And the youngest fan Olie and I spotted was this FIVE year old girl. She's sooo cute, singing along to the songs and shouting for Donny. She even said she wished she was born earlier so she could see Donny at a longer age. Must be the mother's influence. I still find it very hard to comprehend how her music idol is at least 10 times her age? There was this really rude dude at the concert who tapped Olie and my shoulder really hard and asked the both of us to sit down at the concert, when everyone was on their feet, clapping and dancing along. Was annoyed but didn't want to kick a fuss up so I sat down. THEN we (plus the people in front of us) were yelled at again. He didn't need to yell and spoil everyone's mood. Really detest these ugly Singaporeans! Gonna take action, but am not saying how here.

Donny Osmond

And now. They were in Singapore for a one-night only concert. Their 50th anniversary world tour!

I am a new Osmonds fan. Wholesome music is a good change. ;)

Enjoying my internship. Our colleagues are all very friendly and caring, feel so loved. And I get to watch 3 free movies and attend 2 complimentary concerts a single week. Woohoo.

Go catch "Wanted" starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie, it's an action thriller that has a really smart plot and I love the sardonic humour. Will be writing a review about that, so do check it out when it's out!

Olie and I caught "You don't mess with the Zohan" and boy you sure don't want to mess with the show. It's so sexually crude, but the spoofs are quite funny la, Adam Sandler's still one of my fav actors.

Tomorrow I will be interviewing Yasmin Ahmad, a critically acclaimed Malaysian film and commercial director, and Air Supply!

Haha, it has been an EVERGREEN/OLDIES week man. Olie and I were trying to think of a musical artiste of our era which we think will have as great a legacy as The Osmonds and Air Supply. Couldn't think of anything. Madonna, MJ and Mariah are not really counted. We're thinking along the lines of before Britney got herself wrecked period (~1999?), to today. Maybe Justin Timberlake?

Omigosh, so excited about tomorrow.. If this is exciting, 'I WOULD DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS' (as overheard from a crazy Osmond fan yest) if I can have the chance to interview Jason Mraz (or John Mayer!!).

Jason Mraz is coming to Singapore for Singfest!! With Alicia Keys and Travis!! I really love Travis and Olie's dying to meet Alicia Keys.

My parents will never pay for the S$200 ticket for me though. Must pack more lunches to work now.

First Day of work at CNA E-news department

Was feeling nervous-excited when Olie and I were on our way to Caldecott today. But the day passed quickly as we were each given fun assignments to do. I love writing and even more so on subjects that evoke my interest. Did a short rewriting of celeb gossip- Charlie Sheen ties the knot for the 3rd time plus Kate DeLuna's debut album 9 Lives... I was actually surfing web tabloids for more info, how interesting and even on normal days I don't do so. Last article of the day is on the MTV Movie Awards. You can view it
here )

Olie wrote about the Gone With The Wind musical which was literally gone with the wind and was such a flop, and the Universal Studios fire. You can read about that
here )
She's also covering one of the acts for the Singapore Arts Festival, 'The Architecture of Silence' which will be probably up tomorrow.

Each of our articles wlil end with our own initials, jk and os. Haha I kept teasing her about her new nick. OSSSSS. ;)

Looking forward to learning more as the days go by and finally write in a style that I am comfortable in (NOT term reports). 9 hours of work including an hour for lunch, and pretty flexible, meaning that we have a list of assignments to complete in our own time. We do the research, write the pieces and submit it to the editor who vets it before it goes online. The time between vetting and being publish is very short so that's the best thing about being under the e-news department is that instant gratification of getting our work published. :)

AND I am having sushi for dinner with the aa3 girls tomorrow. <3 Can't wait!
