Hot and spicy events

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

After 3 days of hosting, I realised that talking can be tiring :) but then i think i’m the only host who have to talk non-stop for the whole day from 11am till 7pm. Very cheap labour. But i truly enjoy it after the end of the session i learnt something new and of course i makes some new friends!!

since it’s over, it’s no longer a secret. I was hosting at Lot 1 the shoppers mall. Everytime i say LOT 1, instead of shoppers I says shopping mall. Pai sei lah. It’s a hot and spicy theme that is being organised for the week. We have numerous activites like korean food demo, sauces demos like kee’s, chilli king challenge, hot and spicy dip contest. I have the timing in my head already!!!! So tired after a whole day of standing and talking.

What’s more, I’m a vain pot! I insist on wearing a bright red dress with heels instead of sensible t-shirt and jeans with sports shoes. So at about 5pm, my heels is hidden under the table and I’m walking around barefooted. Of course the public can’t see. Though they could see that all of a sudden i’m shorter by another 2 inch :P

Will I do it again? You bet! but hopefully i don’t have to talk non-stop for such long timings. This will go into my portfolio for sure. So friends out there if you need a Host, MC, DJ lah. You know who to find hor..

Oh 1 more thing - I think i swear accidentally during the event (In hokien lah) though i honestly did not know it’s a bad word till the organiser pinch me.. HAHAHAH guess practise makes perfect.

* Oh i have some pictures thus i may publish that always. But not sure if there is any copy right or not lah. Don’t think i’m going to talk a lot for the coming days. Must replenish my energy!

Post experience

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Tired.. By the way, anyone knows what is shoppers in chinese? You know everytime you hear the host say, dear shoppers etc etc.. but in chinese? anyone knows what that translate into?? so pretty lost.

And i hate basil and galangal ginger! the chinese translation is soo complicated, had a hard time pronoucing it. Anyway, how’s my first public hosting? It’s not too good. Too short a time to know my script, too much to cover too.

Had to converse in english then in chinese, the chef, the organiser, remind the shoppers on the activities, events going on. ALL in 1 hour!! Did not do very well tough but it’s fun. I enjoyed it a lot.. get paid some more. WAHAHAHA

2 more days to go..  wish me luck

Something exciting

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

I’m going to do something pretty exciting.. :) I’m engaged to do some hosting in shopping mall.  I’m kind of scared.. Yes yes I know soo thick-skinned already how to get scared. I’ve been doing pretty much of ROM and Wedding hosting, this is the first time i’m attempting a public hosting. Looking forward to it. I was checking the other day if there are any courses to take.. GRIN.. 

It’s going to be a 3 days thing, and NOPE i’m not going to say where the venue is. I’ll be updating on the experience soon.

Happiness

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

There are some times when you feel like you own the whole world. For me yesterday was one of the few times, It was right after dinner and as usual, my dad washes the dishes while the rest of us will be in the living room. When my dad emerge from the kitchen, he has in his hands 1 conetto and 1 tin tam.

He pass the tin tam over to my mom, and they both sat there eating their desserts happily. Dad’s on the floor, Mom’s in the sofa.  I’m looking at them from behind and at that point i felt that i own the world :) My parents are very happy with "unhealthy food" and i so happily just look at them finish their desserts

I wonder when I’m old, will my husband shared his desserts with me.  hee hee, I want yogurt ice-cream with fresh slice orange. mai fun right but that’s my world.

What’s your world?
