Last days in Guangzhou~~


China is the place for one to buy lots n lots of CDs..I personally went berserk seeing the price and chose really lots of CDs but in the end, cut down to about 15 pieces of CDs.. Haha..Half Price!! Ask me to buy in Malaysia, at times have to think twice..


Apart from Mobi gang, Had fun and great time with Ah Ping, Lee Yin, Rick and CK. Hanging out with them was non-stop laughter ;)





Last day of performances ended in full blast with flowers and confettis..It was really a grand finishing for True Love and Black Monday. Flowers and confettis were a surprise to them. We who were actually working at that time, joined in the fun and acted as their 'fans'. Full support!!!Do not have a copy of the pictures cause the others have yet to burn a copy for me...Have to wait.. Time to say goodbyes to fellow friends from Guangzhou and after that, we had dinner with the performers. Bid our goodbyes and promised to keep in touch ;)

Next stop was Hong Kong.. Madness!! Happyness!! SHOPPING PARADISE!!!!!! Bought some souvenirs and got myself a new pair of shoes but not enough time and $$$.. Aih, wait, I'll come back to you, Hong Kong!!!!

Last but not least, Happy Belated Birthday to Anna, Serene and Happy Birthday to Ah BE!!

Performances Start

1st of May:

Firstly, Happy Labour Day!! Anyhow, for some us, we still have to get up and work.

Secondly, today marks the 1st Anniversary of MobiMusic studio!!

Thirdly, today also marks a very painful experience I’ve gone through exactly a year ago. The picture is still very clear and funny how it still aches. Thought that I have managed to let it go..(Bitter laugh) How wrong was I~~ Just come to realize that whenever I’m on the plane, I think of you…I remember there was once during that week when I was on the way to work, the song that reminded me of you was playing on the radio and my visions were immediately blurred. Now, (at times) when I pass by that place, that scene would flash through clearly.. Memories~~~ Can’t be erased no matter how hard I try to..Sigh~~

Fourth, thankfully I'm away for work and there are distractions. First of performance and it went ok. We were busy getting ready for the show and busy taking pictures during and after shows. The performers had to perform twice a day for seven (7) days wearing the specific costumes designed as seen from the animation works. Took the opportunity to take pictures of the characters from the animations that I was involved in. Seeing the characters transforming itself into real life regardless of being in person or as mascots was really umm, the feeling is indescribable.



A co-incidence; Formula X (FX), an animation that I had done and involved in for the whole season 1 was ON AIR there. ON AIR in CHINA although just in Guangzhou la at the moment but STILL!!! So ngam, from first episode some more!! After performance, we rushed back to the hotel with Rick and CK (Beam production, the people behind FX). Super elated and just so indescribable la the feeling, really.

Hey, CK and Rick, thanks for standing up for me about me not getting my credits. It’s already on air anyway so I guess it is ok le. Maybe and hopefully better luck next time le ;)

Dinner was fun; laughing and laughing non stop with yummy DESSERTS!!




2nd May:

Finally managed to meet Joey who’s involved in the PANDA animation. We’ve only been keeping in touch via MSN/ Skype. Sweet girl.

Also, we have managed to proved that we are die hard fans/supporters of McDONALD’s. I guess we’ll always stay true to you..(Seriously, I would recommend you their McD if compared to their KFC).

Later during the evening, John 叔叔 took us out for dinner and a walk around. Somewhere near ‘wah po lou'. There, we had our dinner at a small shop called Soon Kee. Again we had 双皮奶 and this was even better!! Taste really smooth. Typing this now makes my mouth watery oredi. We had lotsa interesting local food like 'Teng chai' 粥, cheong fun, ice cream etc. Their coconut and mango ice cream was reli yummy. Very real coconut and mango taste.

Then he took us to a left turn from the busy road we were at and we found ourselves in a place which would just make you feel like you were in the olden days. The place was known as 西关大屋 . John 叔叔 said that area has a history of about 100 years. The feel was just great and I really love it!! Took our own sweet time savouring the place. Saw something very interesting which is a saloon. Check out the place to wash hair ;)




Later on, we took a turn to another turn out, we were back on the busy streets called 下下九 which looked like Petaling Street. Walking further up is called 上下九. These 2 streets are something like Petaling Street, tourist’s attractions with lotsa billboards. Walking towards a square, we saw a few bronze statues and amazingly, two big cans of nin jim pei pa kou and wong lou kat (herbal tea) are to be seen.

Backtracking to Previous Dayzz (Part 3)

Nothing much for these few days for gonna write in 2-3 days one shot ;)

Day 4:

Tried a special dessert from So Chow called 双皮奶 (siong pei nai [canto])..Love it!! Yum Yum Yum Yum. Will wanna eat it again. They can make it cold or hot but I prefer the hot one. Stronger taste and tastier..



Day 5:

Went for rehearsal at the venue but in the end, cancelled cause electricity was not ready.. They used a trailer for stage but of cause will extend it..




Day 6:

Rehearsal day with intruments. Many booths were still not ready and as seen in picture, the stage is still being prepared. Setting up for visual. This day was really tiring. Costume trying in the morning, had breakfast and lunch only at 5pm. Really pissed off and frusfrated but thankfully still Managed to learn anger management.Thank you to those of you who have been there for me although far away..

Went and shop around for some costume stuffs and ended up buying a cap ;) First time buy cap. When buy, buy one which look so artistic =P

Backtracking to Previous Dayzz (Part 3)

Today, I tried many things..Tried out all of Guangzhou's public transport..No no, not all la, Maybe the ones on the road only like their public bus, their Light rail, taxi and their electric tram/bus..Don't know le what's it called..




Tried the KFC here... Tried their grilled chicken burger..Taste? Ermmm, let's just say it doesn't convince me but in order not to waste food, will still swallow it in..




I've been involved and doing animation all along and I've finally get to meet up with some of the people who were involve with the dubbing!! One of them in real life, sounds just like what I hear from the CD whenever I do my work!! Wow Wee!! Ate lotsa good food too~~

Went back to the studio to do some work, curi tulang and capture some pictures with the animation banners while waiting for the artistes to complete their rehearsal and costume fitting then, good food was awaiting for us again..haha




Went for dinner in a restaurant with Centraline people.Tried really YUMMY char siew which will just melt in the mouth~~~ Speaking of it also missing it~~~

I do not usually eat intestines. Forgot what intestines la but I tried this time. Being adventurous. This meal was really experimental cause I seldom eat sashimis and intestines~~


Tried something like prawn sashimi which is not really dead but fainted in a bucket of ice and fish sashimi. The bucket of prawn was placed in front of Anna and suddenly, a prawn started to move and jumped out from the bucket. Shocked me and Anna and sent both of us + Ah Ping screaming. Pretty embarassing cause other people were looking at our table. There were so many prawns left and in the end, we had to play a game by turning the round glass and see where the teapot stops. If it points at a particular person, we have to take one prawn and eat!! Quite sporting and fun people cause if add up everybody, got more than 100-200 years old le ;)

Come to think of it, maybe it is because we're working in the city, therefore there are more interesting food to explore and try..(Appou, writing this part is not to 'gek' you ya~~~haha)
