Twenty Twenty Two - Year-In-Review.

I just realised i havent even done up a 2022 year in review. WOW.

Honestly, i dont quite remember what i did in 2022. 

I'll try to recall. LOL.

Maybe, with photos i will be able to recall alil more. 

Right, i became Covid positive for the first time, during CNY. 

Good thing i havent gone out for visiting yet, cause i was positive on the 除夕.

Remember i was having a bad sore throat, i thought i ate too much of the CNY goodies...

Turned out it was Covid19. LOL.

Honestly, if i wasnt having fever, i wouldnt even have done the ART test.

So yup, took a good 6 days off work, but meh during the CNY holidays lorh...

I remember i was singing negative negative positive at home, 

who knew i would really become positive. Hahahhaha. 

Ohh, then i brought my office cat back home. 

He came home with me on the 28th of January, then i got positive on the 31st. 

Poor thing, maybe he thought i was abandoning him.

Because i got sent to the quarantine facility few days later...

But look at how he was sleeping in the office and at home. 

So much difference...

Anyways, he has an Instagram page, follow him! @maplethemeowple

And then, i really cant remember what happened from then until May...

Ohh, i think i was so shagged until i wish i become positive again so i could rest. 

What logic...

Fast forward to May.

I celebrated my 31st birthday with a bunch of friends. 

Ate so much, i dont even dare to weigh myself now. LOL.

Yup, diet gone haywire. Havent exercised since idk when. 

Same thing, lost track of what happened from June till August. 

Ohh, how can i forget what happened in July...

WOW.

Worst experience of my life. 

Called an ambulance for the first time, 

got carried on a stretcher by paramedics for the first time. 

Wheeled into the ambulance for the first time, 

ambulance on the siren the whole journey...

Got admitted to the hospital for the first time. 

WOW.

It was such a bad experience, i wouldnt want to experience it again. 

I really thought i would be crippled for the rest of my life. 

What in the World. 

I had a relapsed of the slip disc... This time round it was pressing on the nerve.

That i couldnt even stand up straight that day.

SO SCARY!

Went to Bangkok in September with my Sister and Family.

Of course, with my niece. 

We fed the giraffe, pony and i forgot. Hahhaha. 

Kaylaa was so so cute. 

Now also very cute, but recently she dont want Fat yiyi. 

I also dk why. 

But seriously, what a memory. I cant even remember what i did in Bangkok.

Memory has been really bad recently.

Came back continue doing events...

Oh yes, then we did the McLaren Legacy Lives On exhibition during the F1 period. 

That was the period when i broke my record of not sleeping more close to 50 hours. 

I think i knocked out most of the days when im able to. 

Then in October, one of my closer friend got married. 

They dated for 15 years before they get married. 

Damn long sia. 

Also in October, W0LF(S) was in Singapore for their Moon Landing concert. 

Erm, all i can say is Star Theatre isnt really built for concert. 

The speakers were too over powering, even sitting next to the console was meh. 

Went shopping for the Lay Zhang concert, which we didnt even use the Mac Studio...

But the concert was a good experience, although we trouble shoot like dk what. 

Okay, my colleague did the troubleshooting most of the time. 

I went on a cruise after the concert, it was a 6D5N cruise trip. 

Nothing much done on the cruise. Still as boring, hahahha. 

But we are heading for another 10D9N cruise in 2024. 
LOL.

Came back to an extremely bad news...

My Boss passed away. 

I didnt even know what to do when Ahxiang called breaking the news to me.

Sigh, gone too soon.

I was talking to him on the phone just 2 days before he left.

And, the last time i saw him was 20th October 2022...

Sigh. I miss him, really miss him. 

This Uncle, he left behind a legacy...

The office will never be like before anymore. 

Then in December, caught an online concert of C AllStar. 

One of my idol is a Father now!!

So happy for him. Hahaha.

I think that's all for my 2022...

So boring. 

Cant wait to fill my 2023 with more fun things. 

Covid made everything so boring.

But now that every countries are opening up, 

there shall be more adventures...

I hope.

Till then, 

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 

to everyone out there.

 Twenty Twenty One - Year In Review. 

I didnt have much to update, that's why my Year In Review only came in now...
The year went past so quickly, i dont even remember what i did for 2021.
Events were more or less the same as 2020, minus the live streaming part. 
Travelling plans were still not in place, cause i rather not increase my exposure to the virus.
More mutations of the virus, more and more variants coming out.
I rather my cash mutates themselves...
Watched a few more online concerts, but i would rather watch a physical concert. 
We had no choice but to build a vMix machine, cause clients are relying too much on it. 
Having to deal with unreasonable clients...
More Zoom, WebEx, Teams meetings...
I think that's all for my 2021.
This is the shortest year in review for me, i think. So sad.

THIRTY YEARS OLD?!!

Yup, i've just turned 30 years old, yesterday. 

Honestly, a lot of people worries about hitting the big 3, but im kinda look forward to my big 3 though. 

Why ah?!! LOL. 

I am excited to see how will life after 30 be, actually. 
When we were much younger, all we wanted to do was to stay 18. 

Forever 18 or Forever 21.

But i think my wire's alil off, cause i actually wanna grow old. 

Also, at the same time, complaining that i am old lah. 

There's nothing to be afraid of when you're 30. 

Maybe to some girls, 30 is the age where you should get married, have kids, have a stable career and what now. But i dont think that way, really. That's why i say my wiring may have gone haywire. LOL. Just blame it on the stupid Covid19. 

Me at 30yo, i've made the decision for my next lap of life. 

Not gonna disclose it anytime soon, but if you've already know what is happening,

be honoured, because you are one of the few that i cherish, and am willing to share my secrets with. 

Relationship wise, nope i've not met my other half. Like i've mentioned in my IG post, i went for a fortune reading earlier in February, after CNY. People who know me knows that i dont really fancy all these, but that time i thought to myself, since im 30yo this year, might as well just do some fortune telling and see how things goes. Yup, so i paid for the reading. Not too bad a results. But i shall see if what the Master says is accurate or not. Anyways, for my romance part, he says my 缘分 is just beside this person, but it just seems otherwise though. Aiyah, maybe this stupid man havent realise his feelings for me. Hahahah. Okay, stop pinning too much hope and expectation on him. I mean, im not in a hurry, have then have lorh, dont have then dont have lorh, i can BTO or buy a resale on my own when im 35yo mah. The good thing about having a boyf or husband is only to share the burden for the house, and when 我有需要的时候 lah. Okay, i mean it's definitely nice to have someone there when you need lah. But seems like i am perfectly fine with myself like that though. How to find boyf like that?! Jialat. 

我現在確實有喜歡的人，我並沒有告訴很多人... 給了自己一個期限 - 我不要繼續喜歡你了。

可能我被師傅影響了，可能一直以來都壓抑著對你的感覺，我不知道。

我只知道我不可以再這樣下去了。

Anyways, a photo of me with my niece, just see how cute she is. OMG. 

But yah lah, i just wanted to show the difference between my long and short hair. 

Wahahah.

Huge change okay, i never cut my hair so short before. 

LOL. 

Wanted to get a tattoo also, but i should lose weight first before i go for tattoo. 

If not later the tattoo shrink how!!?? 

Hahahahha. 

Okay, i think that's all for my 30yo feels. 

May the World just go back to normal. 

May this stupid Covid19 just end asap, cause it's just taking too long in the World. 

Let's all start loving the Earth and be nice Human Beings. 

The World is a simple place, Human Beings are just too complicated. 

Till the next time i come back and visit my blog. 

Bye for now.

 Twenty-Twenty - Year in Review. 

I usually have lotsa things to write in my Year in Review. But to think i actually sat in front of my Macbook for 3 hours thinking of what to write is just so frustrating - this sentence was here since 31st December 2020. And i have yet to complete my 2020 year in review till date...

I really have nothing much to say for my 2020. I shall let the photos do the saying then. 

First family photo of the year - Just before everything gets worse, i meant the Covid19...

And then i remember i was called out for a last minute dinner at Koma, MBS.

Reliving those days in Japan with the Torii Gates.

And then everything just went past from March to December...

Bought a new Macbook because my old Macbook of 7 years decided to give up on me.

Expensive shit you got there, Apple. But i'll still continue to use Macbook.

Yup, those are my Apple collections. 

And then i remember i attended Jonathan's wedding on 10102020.

The 50 pax limit wedding.

Went for a 2nd round with the guys, and then the 3rd round of HDL after.

Been too long since we last met.

And my idol became a Dad this year too!

And the most heartbreaking news in September - 小鬼離世了。

A lot of the 90's kids will understand why his death affects us so badly.

We had an art jamming session someday too.

I kinda wanna try pottery lessons next time though. 

Hehehe.

Erm, i think i know how to appreciate art, but i just cant paint.

But i am quite amazed by the colour of my sky though, i really dk what i did there. 

Hahahah.

Attended my idol's virtual concert. 

I really miss live concerts, but the situation just doesnt allow live events to happen.

Missing so many concerts cause of the virus, i am so so sad!

And then i attended my cousin's wedding, this time round 100pax limit.

It was definitely good catching up with my relatives. 

We no longer meet up that often after Popo's death though. :(

And the PPG finally met up!!

Atas abit, we went to Black Tap at MBS. 

Wahahha.

And then you see, that's about it for my 2020.

What the shit, i used to have so many things to share. Meh.

I talked about this a few posts back, i remember. 

But there was just this one period when i was so depressed by the whole covid19 situation.

So thankful i walked out of it myself.

Thank you everyone for still sticking by.

And featuring my 3rd idol~

Wayne Huang, 黃偉晉！

Anyways, happy new year to all. 

Stay safe, stay healthy and take care. 

Wash your hands, keep the social distance.

Have your mask on at all times. 

Let's just hope that the virus will be gone soon. 

I cant wait to travel, i cant wait to see my idols.

I cant wait to attend concerts, i cant wait for more shows to come in.

30yo this year, may this year be a good year for me!

Relationship, wealth, health, everything!!

換個方式思考.

2020, 因為疫情的關係，很多已經計畫好的行程都無法一一實現，

但換個角度思考，2020可能是地球給人類的另一種考驗... 

或許是因為人類太過依賴科技？

或者是因為世界太多的不和平？

或許因為我們都太不愛惜地球？

又或者是因為我們沒有好好的愛惜自己？

雖說我真的很討厭2020，但畢竟這是一條我們每一個人都會經過的道路，

這一年所發生的任何事物都的的確確發生了，想改也改不了。

但這個考驗很確切的教會我如何更加懂得愛護自己的身體，

教會我如何善待周遭的人事物， 教會我如何好好的保護地球...

雖說可以換個角度看待這一年，但我還是希望2020可以快點過去～

今年真的太沮喪，太令人迷失方向，太灰的一年了。

還有最最最重要的是，希望每一個我認識，

或認識我的人不管事心靈上或生理上都可以健健康康，開開心心的。

這真的很重要！

這一年經過了9個半月，我們每一個人都走得不容易，

想必很多朋友都跟我一樣，時不時有點沮喪，時不時有點灰，

時不時會思考自己當初的決定到底對或錯...

但最後想想，這一年的經歷只會讓我們越戰越勇，越來越強！

請你們一定要好好的！

只想說面對生離死別，我並不灑脫～

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, many planned itineraries in 2020 has to be put on hold.

But thinking of it from another perspective, 2020 may be a test from Mother Earth for mankind...

Perhaps because Humans rely too much on technology?

Because the World is too unpeaceful?

Maybe because we don't care much about Mother Earth?

Or it could be we just dont love ourselves?

Although I really hate 2020, but afterall this is a path that every one of us will take.

Everything that happened this year has indeed happened, and we cant change it.

But at least this test from Mother Earth has indeed taught me how to better take care ourselves,

taught me how to be nicer to people around us, taught me how to protect Mother Earth...

Although seeing 2020 in a different perspective, I still hope that 2020 can pass quickly, 

for this year has been such a depressing, disoriented and too gray a year.

And the most important thing is that I hope everyone that I know,

or anyone that knows me can be healthy and happy, be it mentally or physically.

This 9.5 months of 2020 was never easy for everyone of us.

I believe most of my friends just feels exactly like i feel, 

sometimes a little frustrated, a lil gray.

And thinking if we made the right decision for our career...

But to think of it, this year's experience will only make us stronger.

I really do hope that everyone of us can be good.

I dont know how to deal with separation...

Fangirl - C AllStar 篇

C AllStar 10週年～ 記得第一次聽C AllStar的歌是因為看了張智霖的演唱會，他翻唱了天梯... 而當時我覺得這首歌歌詞不錯，所以就到Youtube搜了搜，原來這首歌的原唱是C AllStar。當時我就只聽這一首歌... 直到有一天一位同事叫我幫忙找歌（因為電台一直在播時日如飛）我才開始認真的聽C AllStar的歌...

15年和朋友去看了Sammi演唱會，特別嘉賓是陳健安，

幸好當時已經知道C AllStar是誰，然後在看演唱會的我也太興奮了！

16年機緣巧合下有機會到Sammi新加坡演唱會後台，

鼓起勇氣跟On仔聊了一陣子，拍了張合照～ 

我記得當時我跟他說希望下次有機會到香港再見面... 

之後17年演唱會。

阿簡知道我會從新加坡飛過去看演唱會，他帶我入後台會C AllStar！

完show後也讓我到後台與C AllStar合影，滿足了我的一個小小心願～ 

18，19年的C AllGathering我都有參與，

唯一的缺點是我自己一個人過去，但幸好因為CAS我認識了一群朋友... 

就這樣，追了C AllStar 5年！謝謝你們都那麼的寵粉～

828 Make it Happen @ 10 C AllStar Virtual Concert的 technical problem 真的很討厭。

但因為自己也是做這一行的，自己知道這些technical problem都不是我們可以預測的。

所以生氣了一陣子，就完完全全放棄了Minecraft的遊戲。

直接點進Youtube看直播，也幸好他們有直播...

但這Virtual Concert的幕後工作人員也都幸苦了。

Minecraft裡看到的所有東西都是從零開始，他們太厲害了～

這次做得不好，下次再接再厲！

謝謝所有工作團隊～

Fangirl - 黃偉晉 篇

好久沒有寫一則po文for自己的偶像了。

這是黃偉晉，最近剛被圈粉...

他是娛樂百分百其中一位主持人。

當初看娛百純粹只想看狼人殺，我當時真的愛上狼人殺這個遊戲！

誰知道，越看就越入坑...

當初還真覺得這個人超吵，但也因為他超吵，我就入坑了。

LOL!

照片都是粉絲上傳IG，我下載的。

雖說自己3個月前被圈粉，以前完全不知道有SpeXial這個團體。

但這3個月從種種影片，IG直播，活動花絮，什麼什麼的發現這個男人還真有魅力。

自己作詞作曲，主持功力...

黃偉晉，你很棒。你只是缺了點自信。

正如邱鋒澤說的，你真的是一個很厲害很厲害的人。

你很真，你很謙虛，你很浮誇，你很大嬸！

但你就是黃偉晉。

這就是為什麼我們都喜歡你的原因！

繼續加油，繼續努力。

總有一天，你會踏上小巨蛋的舞台。

到時候，我一定到現場支持你！

Photos are all from his concert last weekend.

If it's not for the COVID19, i would've flown over to attend the concert. 

Sigh. Just when can this covid19 end?

There's another concert in Sept that i really wanna go for.

But seems like it's a NO-NO!

Self Doubt > Reassurance > Letting it Go.

I think i’ve never mentioned this to anyone before. 

But because of this whole Covid19 situation,

i sorta questioned myself 

(1) if i made the right choice choosing to study Audio Visual Technology (AVT) as a Diploma back in Ngee Ann Polyechnic... 

(2) If i made the right choice to continue in the industry after internship. 

The reason why i chose AVT was purely because i was a fangirl back then (still a fangirl now), 

and i wanted to be upclose with artistes backstage. 

I definitely enjoyed the whole 9 years of experience in the industry. 

Never once i regretted my decision to be honest, 

even though we are always dealing with demanding clients. 

And there’s always this statement that keeps me going - 

Every bad experience is a good experience gained. 

No matter how tough the situation is, it only makes you stronger. 

Back to the topic, 

recently because of the whole covid19 pandemic that is affecting the entire World,

i questioned myself... 

If i made the right choice back then... 

I cant seem to find an answer to my question recently, 

maybe that is the reason why i cant sleep at night these days... 

But perhaps, this is just part of life, 

you’ll need some setback in life to reassure you of the decisions you’ve made.
//
最近因為疫情的關係一直都懷疑自己當初是否正確... 我從事幕後工作，一開始決定想當個幕後工作人員純粹是因為當時還在追星，而這份工作是最能接近演藝人員的。雖說我現在還是在追星！因為疫情的關係很多大型的活動都被迫取消，這幾個月的確很沮喪。雖說一直在懷疑自己當初的選擇是否正確，我每次都在問自己... 但這接近9年的經歷，我沒有一天後悔自己的決定，我熱愛我的工作，雖然有時活動策劃員和客戶真的很難搞... 曾經有一個人告訴過我，每一個不悅快的經歷都是一個很好的學習方式。不管那個經歷多麽辛苦，他也只會把你訓練得更好！言歸正傳，因為疫情的關係，我再次問自己之前的決定是否正確。 但我想人生應該就是這樣吧，你總需要一些小小的挫折來讓你再次保證自己當初所做的決定...

//

來介紹幾首歌吧。歌詞都很有意思，有時間可以聽一聽。

黃偉晉 - 我還相信我
梁釗峰 - 28天
陳健安 - 告別的藝術
孫協志 - 很確定

26072020

Covid19.

This year havent been good since the outbreak of the Covid19 virus...

Events has been cancelled since Chinese New Year, the setup was done, but was told to teardown everything even before the event officially started...

Overseas trip has been cancelled, not like i have any overseas trips to begin with.

But, just how many companies or people are suffering because of this Covid19...

Can we just restart 2020, please!!

Twenty-Nineteen - Year-In-Review.

Okay, i guess this would be the best time for a Year-In-Review...

I am currently alone in the office, they are all out setting up.

Ohh, Chetty is in as well. 

***

So I really cant remember what happened in 2019.

I only remember i didnt travel as much as i did compared to the previous years...

We couldnt celebrate Chinese New Year, so we went on a tour with Chan Brothers to Korea.

I also dont really quite remember what we did there, really. 

I only remember that day when it snowed at Jeju(?) at around 3am ish. 

And waking up to the snow sight was just so amazing!!

And then my childhood idol made a comeback and held a concert at 台北小巨蛋.

Of course, a concert lover like me, went for the concert. 

The very first concert i watched was 5566, back in 2005. 

And then 14 years later, i am seeing them in 小巨蛋!

It's always a dream to watch a concert there. Finally fulfilling it. 

This is damn random, but yup. 

These are my collections of Starbucks cards, around the World. 

Attended a client-turned-friend's wedding in March!

Headed over to Genting for a company's R&R with LTM!

Too many inside jokes, i cannot. 

Head over to Macau for SPGK's incentive trip!

And we found out some 天大的秘密！

Already say is 秘密, so cannot say!

I extended my trip there, headed over to Hongkong, 

because i was supposed to attend LF's concert that weekend.

There, my selfie with LF!

Hahahaha!

And then we did a CAG 10years anniversary family day at Jewel Cloud9.

Stationed there for a good 3 days, but we really had nothing to do there...

This was also the month when i wasnt in Singapore the whole time. 

Headed over to Hongkong the next day after the family day, stayed for 4 days.

Back to Singapore, headed over to Wuhan for the Adidas sales conference...

That few days in Hongkong, were the first few days of protest demonstrations.

Sigh~ It has been 6 months, but 五大訴求... SIGH~

Anyways, July. 

Back in Singapore for 5566's Singapore concert at Indoor Stadium.

Quite awesome, as there were still so many people supporting them. 

I was really impressed. Hahhaha. 

But true enough, they were really many people's 年輕時的偶像!

Still July, we headed over to Korea for a medical conference.

The Starfield Library!

Ohh, we will walk pass a field of lavender from our hotel to the conference venue.

Lavender really smells so wonderful. 

Totally loving it!

Finally met up with these bunch of bloops!

Hahahha.

We had so much laughters, i really miss them so much. 

Then again, my socks collection. 

Hahahha

Okay, i really dont know what to continue liao. 

So i shall end here. 

I might not frequent this site that often anymore though. 

But i'll still update them as and when i like. 

Bye~
