Did up a video of the contributions I made as MSU2007 for the night of the crowning of MSU08. It’s a bitter-sweet feeling when I see the video and realise how one year has flown by….

Hello!

I just got back from the Style Weddings photo shoot in Boracay, Philippines!!!! This issue will be out end August. It was great fun! Though there was a typhoon when we were there. But more about this later!

Last Tuesday, before I left for Boracay, I was at the OSIM Singapore International Triathlon Launch together with MP Teo Ser Luck. Here’s the photos of the event!

Berinda’s 25th Special year!

I’ve been down with high fever (38.5 degrees) since Sunday evening. Yes! THREE whole days of fever!!! Woo hoo!!! I really dread getting a fever as I’ve to suffer though the whole agony of having one. Reason being my allergy to most drugs to cure fever namely Aspirin and Panadol. So, I’ve to force myself to take cold showers even though my body is extremely weak, sleep with ice packs all over my head, and drink lotsa “se2 cao2 sui3” or Oldenlandia Water (my reliable fever companion). And basically just sleep or you can call “suffer” though the fever! Sweat it out, sleep it off, fight it off with my natural immune system, whatever…. I’ve been in bed sleeping the past 3 days and only today I’m remotely strong enough to actually blog!

And cause of this viral fever of mine, I missed today’s filming which I feel really bad but I’m in no state to be in front of the camera and my manager did ask whether I had DENGUE!!! Due the the recurring fever. Which also suddenly woke me up to take this fever seriously. Better not go to set with the possibility of dengue in my blood! Don’t want to be a carrier! So went back to the Doc’s today to get a blood test (it cost me freaking $112!) 😦  and the Doc called me back a couple of hours later to tell me I don’t have dengue!!! *phew* (sigh of relief)

Hope my fever don’t come back and I can go to work tmw morn!!

Had a shoot today for publicity shots… Hope the pictures turns out nice!!! *crosses fingers*

I had a hard time finding the photo studio!!! It was at Hong Lim Complex, and I tell U that place is like a maze! The numbers of the units can jump like nobody’s business! Store owners was staring at me this crazy girl lugging sooooo many bags walking in circles around just to find the studio!

Hee hee luckily the wonders of technology saved me – handphone!!! When in doubt just call and U can find ur way! *LOL*

Had lotsa fun at the shoot giving very different looks – from cutesy to sophisticated! Once I lay my hands on some of the pics I’ll post em here!!!

Had an early day today – woke up at 545am to step out of the house
at 615am. Was waiting outside my place for a cab when it started to
drizzle, luckily I had my brolly with me and whipped it out in time! In
5 mins or so it started to really I mean REALLY pour! Stood there and
thought to myself, no cab will ever drive by in rain like this so I
called for a cab.

 Even calling a cab took me 6mins! By then, it
was about 630am and I had to be at Mediacorp by 7am. 😦 What’s worse
was that the cab I called for took another 10 mins to come!!! Grrr…..
Heavy rain, waited half an hour before I stepped into a cab and wee
hours of the morning just don’t agree with my daily routine. Luckily, I
reached Mediacorp at 7am on the DOT! *phew* I really hate being late!
This good habit was cultivated into me when I was in SIA when
punctuality is a must!

 The rest of the day went rather smoothly
unlike my morning. The director said I’ve improved a lot since my 1st
day!!! *big smile* She said that I speak a lot more naturally now and
seem a lot more comfortable! And asked me to keep on working hard which
I think I’m putting in all my effort to! 🙂 At least I’m seeing
results!!! What I lack in experience I try to cover it up with lots of
hard work and determination and of course opening my ears to criticism
and advise!

 I had a nice time filming my “major” scene with
Fann-jie as she was very encouraging and gave me certain pointers and
advise when I was kinda “lost” I so appreciate her guidance and really
hope to learn a lot from her! I really look up to her as an actress and
have always loved her acting!

 I guess I’m lucky that I get along
well with my colleagues as Jeanette gives me great pointers too! And
she’s great at crying scene! Today, I had a scene with her and I didn’t
even know she was tearing badly beside me as she was not facing my
direction. Once she turned to me, I was totally shocked to see her all
teary-eyed! And that scene, we totally had no words spoken so it was
pure emotion! *admiration* I want to be able to do that just like her
one day! Well, for now I guess I’ll just concentrate on improving my
acting skills!

 Signing off for now!

XOXO

Just experienced my very first day of Chinese Drama… I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect! I’ve heard so much about the directors at the CD side!

Mr Leonardo Ferragamo stopped over Singapore just for today to catch his flight home tonight. And it was really nice of him to get in contact with me to see if we could catch up over lunch.

It is such an honour to be able to take him out to lunch and introduce him to the local food here. So I thought the best place to bring him to try good Singapore food in a nice ambiance was  at the Straits Kitchen in the Grand Hyatt. I did my part to explain the many different types of food we had here and how we love our food. Convinced him to try Chicken Rice and Popiah which he loved *phew* then he stopped after (very small eater). Glad he enjoyed lunch and managed to give him a little of Singapore to remember!

After our brief lunch, I had to rush off for a clothes fitting and now I’m getting ready to attend the musical We Will Rock You gala tonight.

Filming of my very first Chinese Drama starts tomorrow so I’m very excited and a little scared! Hope the director/colleagues and most importantly the public will enjoy my performance! Please be kind to me as it will be my very first try! I look to learn from all criticisms given! 🙂

Signing off for now…

XOXO

Earlier just now at the museum I was introduced to Karen Mok by Paul Cadman. She’s really cute in person and has no airs! I also rubbed shoulders with Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi though we didn’t get introduced nor talked (as the press went crazy with them!) I was so happy just to see them in the flesh! (I know I sound like a star stuck kiddo here) but I really do feel that way when I see the actors I actually grew up watching on the big screen!

Same feeling when I first met Fann and Christopher. (I literally grew up watching all their drama serials! Think since late primary school)

I’ll post up the photos
