scary…but really excited about it! all these months of training and acting..i tink the training has prepared the cast well.. 
Beauty world is really fabulous! you guys must come and watch aight!!!

Throughout this period of time.. things have happened.. good and bad. it’s life i guess. all i can say is i’m happy for the things that happened but not sour about things tat did not.
anyway…. my album is finally launching!!!! next month! right after beauty world!! woo hoo!!
there’s actually this song in my album which i specially wrote because of beauty world.. the melody and lyrics as welll. and the story is about my character Ah Hock to the female lead Ivy.. the song is called Bu Shu Yu Wo which means ‘don’t belong to me’.. watch the musical and you’ll understand la.. ha

yup… we performed there and we had fun! all the while i thought cruise was pretty boring cos the first time i went on a cruise was when i was ard 8! haha… it was boring for me at the time… well u know kids can’t do much anyway…
hah.. the theatre we performed is called LIDO!
the cabins allocated to us were great! facing the sea directly! woo! the ship was really huge… you guys should consider cruise sometime.
actually i wanted to try my hands at the casino but upon reachin there. i changed my mind. all the aunties were starin at us! hahaha.. how uncomfortable…

time really flies when one’s busy… ok this time is no excuse.:) anyway.. it has been a fruitful few weeks for me but at the same time exhausting! whew..
i’m sure alot of people out there already know that i’ll be acting in this musical called Beauty World. Seriously, i didn’t realised how fun and enlightening it is act in a musical like this. To work with ppl like Dick Lee, Ivan Heng, Michael Chiang, Irene Ang, and all the rest of the stage actors.. the experience is just humbling to me. Snap! and all these veteran actors can just like jump right into character and act right away! hah. amazing! another obstacle i faced was singing. yes yes.. though i’m a singer but this is different. pop singing and musical singing are worlds apart. well.. catch me and the rest of the cast at esplanade in Jan next year and i’m sure you’ll love it! cos i’ve already fallen for acting… hahaha..
Beauty World Poster!
Â
the set ’s really cool. you’ll get to see it real soon.
yes i know… the hairdo.
yup..we’re shooting a commercial for tv.. it will be out soon!

Â
fellow colleagues, my love Miss Ivy and the number one cabaret girl Miss Lulu!

Â
she’s born in the year of the pig. just like me. no need to explain further.
well.. besides busy with the work of course i have my social life!! of course hanging out with my buddy!
Dasmond la. who else. he’s the emcee for some big dinner!
 
of course i was there with him. sorry pic abit dark. heh.
Â
passed by Robinsons Centrepoint in the middle of the night! and ta da!
Â
yeah tat’s me.. heard from diya there’s one at Raffles City as well. ha.
yup.. today went down to mediacorp for a shoot. it’s for the christmas album we’ve done. Diya and i sang a duet. look out for it! haha.. we had fun today. we were dressed up in white and we both felt tat we’re more like taking wedding photos more than christmas photos! where’s the snow?
Â
yes, i’m trying to imitate jay on his cover. Diya instigated me! haha!
Â
here’s another version, but it’s gurmit’s version “my mohawk christmas” Â
 
“Frosty.. the snowman..”
Â
“ding dong ding dong bells” ???!?!?!?
Â

yeap… Amber is the name of my little pom.. but alas.. went down to the farm but we are not able to bring her home cos she’s not feelin well. so we decided to let them take care and observe her for a few more days then i’ll go down to collect her maybe on thurs or fri.. anyway it’s ok so we’ve bought all the neccesities for amber first. wow… just the neccesities alone already amounted up to 200 plus bucks.. heh.. not cheap for a start leh.. seriously.. having a pup really will take up alot of my time but i’m cool with it! so make sure if anyone of you wanna consider buying a dog first, make sure you have a good discussion with your family before making any decision.. ÂÂ
ÂÂ
amber!
hmmm.. ok after dinner.. i went to bukit timah area for ice cream!!! island creamery!! well.. this place is at serene centre where they have their own local variety blend of flavors.. chocolaty, creamy,milky, sherbet, teh tarik etc… gotta try it! nice cute little ice cream cafe..

ÂÂ
quite similar to a pic i had…
ÂÂ
flavors include pulu hitam, nutella, teh tarik, reversO…
ÂÂ
hard at work..
ÂÂ
recently, i tink i have a thing for bowling.. i mean it’s been ages since i’ve bowled and it was great.. well.. my buddies and i always like to head to marina cos it’s a quiet place and it opens till very late… heh.. people who can’t sleep at night, this is the place we can head down to. hahaha…
yup.. at the b.alley
goin for the strike bro?
the shoes look kinda weird.
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
these are the great, relaxing activites i like to do in my free time. how ’bout when i’m not relaxing and free? RECORDING of course!!! HEHEH.. i’ve started recording and the process was great! though tiring, i’ve learnt that it’s really not easy doing just one song! you can’t imagine the amount of work that goes into the song.. but i’m proud of it! i’ve got to know the song producers like kenn, keith and they’re really great people with great talent. enjoyed working with you guys! this coming week, gonna record a duet with sin huey.. hope everything turns out well!ÂÂ

yup! yup! i’m really happy… well..cos i’ve started on my album! i guess these is one of the things i have really looked forward to for quite a long time.. just came back from mediacorp and was trying to record a drama theme song.. but it kinda went wrong cos i couldn’t get the feel of what the producers want. so… i gotta go back again! PERSEVERE! almost there!
yeah anyway, i’ll just tell you wat happened for the week. i went to Ngee Ann Poly last fri for the filming of Hey Gorgeous! and it was really great fun! plus the fact i was teamed with Dasmond Koh! thanks bro! i’ve learnt alot from ya! so we actually went ard almost the whole campus to look for beautiful and pretty girls.. hmmm. haha! and yup we found them. Fiona and Ben were the other team looking for hunks. They are really not bad as you can see in dasmond’s blog. well.. to catch more of it, look out for the programme starting next month. cos i’m in the first episode! heh.. almost there!
ÂÂ
at ngee ann poly..
ÂÂ
dasmond and i! was really fun yo!
ÂÂ
well… erm.. it was put like that by the crew when we reached there.. it’s supposedly to prevent rain.
ÂÂ
ben, fiona and i!
yesterday, i made a trip down to the other side of Singapore.. to the pet farms.. woo hoo! getting a dog very very soon! i really liked a dog(pomeranian) i saw! it’s only 3 months old and i’m almost certain in bringing her home! well.. some people may think that a guy should go for big dogs but i dun agree.. firstly, i tink it will depend on the size of your house and also your family’s preference. my mum and sis definitely prefers small toy doggies. like this one! so hopefully by next week, there be an additional member to my family! almost there!
ÂÂ
look at how small it is! cute!
ÂÂ
wonder wat will i name her?
ÂÂ
i’ll tink of it first… hmmm
a brand new week, a whole new start!

by the way.. i’ll be playing a charity soccer match this wednesday at Jalan Besar Stadium at 630pm.. a match where singapore celebrities will pit against the hongkong celebrities whom my mom idolize! ha! she likes Simon Yam! he’s really a suave guy! hahaha!! yup anyone interested to go watch us pls feel free! and yeah the tickets is $10 and the proceedings will of course go to charity. hope i dun break a leg this time! heh..
yesterday.. i mean two days ago was the SPD charity show on channel 8! firstly i gotta apologize for not being able to get tickets for those who wanted to go.. so hope you enjoyed it in the comfort of your own homes! i saw the newspapers article today saying that our item didn’t raise too many votes.. kinda sad but it’s ok as long we know we did our part. in the process of rehearsing and stuff i got to know quite a few celebrities better. for instance like elvin ng, nat ho, chen tianwen da ge, darren lim, pornsak,ben yeo, lee teng.. they’re really nice ppl to hang out with in fact.. thanks for fun guys! oh and also our dance teacher michael! i tink i gotta start learning some of your moves man..
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
ÂÂ
one more good news is that i’m starting to record my album! woo hoo! sorry for the wait and i’ll do my best for the album. i’m really excited though… which means i’m gonna be busy with this album and also my play “beauty world!” looking forward to it! talking abt this, i was chatting with elvin,nat, teng, n the rest.. we’re like thinking there should be some ‘ou xiang ju’ where we can all act together! i mean tat’ll be great fun man! like the taiwanese or korean teen drama serials! cool.. yup.. maybe soon.. maybe soon. then they were saying i’ll definitely get the role of a baddie! ok do i really look like a bad boy?!! i’m a good boy can! hahahaha!!!
