Fame and Platinum Penang 2009

Hmmm… It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged about anything. I noticed it’s been a month since I’ve wrote anything in my blog. Hahaha. Ok, I shall have, yet, another recap of EVERYTHING… Or maybe almost everything which came into my mind. :)

First of all, a lot thank got CeMA is gone, but I still have to say my sleeping clock is still screwed up. :(

I’d like to thank all the cast and crew of my production for making the movie possible, without you all, we couldn’t have done this! :)

I can’t believe that Fame - The Musical is already over!!! I really really miss the Fame period so much! I miss the time with all of you, thanks for the memories!!! *sigh* I actually almost cried once the show was over. It just flew by so fast, time flies when you’re having fun, that quote is so true.

-Tasha, Debby and Alexis-

-In Alexis, as in the restaurant, not the girl... :P With Ellya, Bernard and Rachel Lee-

-One big band of brothers, with Voon Fei??? hehehe-

Damn, I still miss the times I had with my friends in the studio, making all those advertisements and trailers… and Momoko being herself cheering everyone up. The cookie mania!!! I love those cookies from “my-bits-n-bites”, I remember we ordered 100 cookies and finished them before you know it. All the sugar rush!.. XD

After the last show of Fame, after packing up, we headed down to Alexis for the finale party. It was awesome! Together with Voon Fei, Momoko, Rachel Lee, Bernard, Ellya... For the first time in my production life, I think our “kids” table made the MOST noise every, we laughed so loud, so randomly too… All thanks to Momoko and Voon Fei’s “ole”… hahaha… even Dr. Rizal gave us the stare, indicating that he was blur… :) Sorry Dr. Rizal… hahaha… But it was fun!!! We had milkshakes, ice creams, and nice yummy food there.

Once the party was over, everyone CIAO-ed!!!… and nope, Voon Fei and I didn’t go back home, cause the minute right after Fame was the first day of Platinum. So we didn’t get any sleep at all together with En. Raphael. It was quite a tiring day I swear!

Before we head of to Damansara Campus, we, as in me, Voon Fei and En. Raphael had a few rounds of Resident Evil 5 on his PlayStation 3. It was quite fun actually.. :)

So we reached Damansara, we left for LCCT, FINALLY… can sleep!.. :)

Then we TERBANG to Penang. Day One of Platinum!!! Yeah, Voon Fei and I was, yet again, being the staffs of the media crew.

-Reached LCCT-

-Reached Paradise Sandy Beach Resort in Penang-

The stayed over at the Paradise Sandy Beach Resort, it was quite an OK hotel. The only thing we liked about it is the internet accessibility!!! Hehehe… So the first day was more of the team building activities, ice breaking and all.

Oh… Oh… Oh… and I’m still with Team Charlie, awesome right!?!?! Same as last year!… :) So we had some beach activities and swimming stuffs. That’s it for day one.

-The welcome crew xD-

-Kaylyn and Shi Fen learning new stuffs?.. hahaha-

-The famours, Bollywood Star-

-My one and only favourite team, Charlie!!!-

-Xin You, Na Dat, Shi Fen, Mei Jing, Marlena & Alvin-

-Just enjoying the view-

-Reminds me of Simba, King of the Jungle...lol-

-This is Shi Fen, this is her BUSTED look... :P-

-Cik Shahida :"Ah... This is the life!"-

---------------------------

Day two of platinum was the survival challenge… And fear factor at night… Sorry Keishia, but I swear Kaylyn has a lot of guts slaughtering those catfishes… :P

-Nice shot of the dock-

-Na Dat : "Are we gonna die? :S"

-Work, work, work...-

-Building in progress-

-Oh kay, off I go then, more work-

-Work, is the hardest profession in the world!-

For day three of the Platinum Expedition to Penang 2009, we have the WATER SPORTS… Lol… ok.. It was quite scary bringing out EXPENSIVE cameras to the sea on a boat which doesn’t look at all stable!. :S

-Bird, BUSTED-

After the first part of the day, the second part was the homestay activity… Ok, I know most of you all might hate it, but it was still fun in the end right?. :) They had the learn to do Silat and some Malay Traditional Dance… and of course, not forgetting the wedding ceremony :)

-Jude : "Vat you looking at!!?!"

------------------------------------

That’s the end of Day Three…For day Four, it was the IRONMAN challenge.. Jeng Jeng jeng… hehehe… I was in charge of the coconut checkpoint and also Checkpoint 6, yes, the best checkpoint every… the BEAN COUNTING checkpoint… :P I know most of the past platinum participants hates it.

-This is an awesome shot right? For Catherine Woo-

-Coconuts, can it make you go nuts?-

-Final checkpoint before the finish line-

After being an ironman for a day, it's FINISHING. :P

-It's not biting?-

-Yeah, nice and breezy-

--------------------------

For day Five, it was a CHILLING day, diving and snorkeling day at Pulau Payar, IN Langkawi…. The ferry to Langkawi wasn’t really that pleasant in the first trip, I swear it was more of a challenge to survive the first ride to Pulau Payar without throwing up, well, I survived it easily… :)… perasan… hahahah… then after that was the second part of fear factor at night….

-At the jetty-

-Boarding the ferry-

-Children inside too?-

-Time to have some fun-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I just can’t believe that Platinum was almost over… It’s already day Six, the last and final day of Platinum and it’s the Amazing Race day! It was amazing!!!… The task they had to do was really fun, there was the Batik Painting, then making spices and tea, they also had to make roti jala and eat it later with some durian sauce to go with it, and it was AWESOME!!!! At least I feel that the amazing race box was slightly easier to be found in the fort… and the best was the Rojak eating task, the last of their task… I swear, it’s a freaking HUGE portion of which 2 person needs to indulge themselves to a plate… it was really yummy!!!… :)
