Celebrity Car Boot Sale!!
Went to the 8Days' Celebrity Car Boot Sale at Millenia Walk with mom.. Was expecting a huge outdoor event with loads of apparels (since all proceeds go to Charity, so the more the merrier, right?), but was quite disappointed when only about 5-6 car boots displayed items "donated" by Mediacorp artistes.
Searching through the limited items, we did find some interesting stuff. Eg: Felicia Chin's pink bikini, Xiang Yun's children's watch, Jean Danker's Trendy Zone heels (.. Oops. Sorry if I soun
d discriminatory, but I thought only commoners like us go for brands like those). Of course other celebs such as Zoe Tay, Fann Wong, Yvonne Lim and Utt contributed to the worthy cause.
Anyway, I got mom to model a pair of shades previously worn by Yvonne Lim. If clothes maketh a man, then mom's definitely on her way to stardom!
Then we went indoors for the Celeb-Meet-and-Greet sessions.
2pm: Saw Tabitha Nauser, Michelle Chia, Sylvia Ratonel, and the cast of The Noose.
Tabitha: this gal can really sing! She totally blew me away..
Though the sound system wasn't at its best, she managed to hold her ground and deliver the theme song for the YOG superbly well. It's a pity she only sang 1 song..
Michelle Chia and Sylvia Ratonel: the two svelte hosts of Buffetlicious! looked Beautilicious! Michelle Chia was also generous enough to reveal her secrets to staying slim despite having hosted many food programmes (the secret being that she doesn't do supper and snacks).. Watched the premiere myself. Thought the programme not bad! :) Wished they featured more wallet-friendly buffet places though..
The Noose's Andre Chichak (Alaric Tay), Jojo Joget (Suhaimi Yusof), Jacques Ooi (Chua En Lai) and Babarella (Michelle Chong): These people crack me up! It was hilarious watching them in the flesh, taking a dig at each other in a fun way [Eg1: they were blaming Jojo Joget for their inability to be nominated for some television award because apparently, people weighing more than 50kg in the cast'll disqualify them for the prize. Eg2: Babarella's "tanks (imagine Babarella's mouth spewing bits of food as she says this), tanks everybody" resulted in Andre Chichak's face getting carrot cake-attacked. Eg3: Jacques Ooi's (as requested by himself to be pronounced as "Jack-ass") cropped tie is a result of company's cost-cutting measure. Eg4: Andre Chichak's tuft of white hair resembles someone huge in the industry.].
4pm: Ann Kok and Terence Cao
After growing up watching Terence Cao act in Chinese dramas, it was interesting to hear him speak in English. Haha! Guess he could venture into Channel5, coz he's quite fluent in the language! While at it, maybe he should cut down on the bad boy vibe about him (he is, after all, of a certain age) too.. and not guffaw like a teen when he picked a piece of a puzzle bearing a photo of Michelle Chia's boobs (covered, that is)..
Ann Kok, on the other hand, was less chatty. But I'm really awed by how skinny she is! And how young she looks! And how early she arrived (managed to see her pose for the event 1/2hr earlier than designated)!
6pm: Joanne Peh and ... (gushes) Shaun Chen
The main aim of this trip (at least for me) was to see Shaun Chen (woohoo~). The fact that DJ saw him on her flight back overseas egged me even more (dammit. I wish I was on the plane too), and made it a definite must to see him in person.. So yesh.. I was happy when I got to see him. Live.
As expected, he's a super sweet guy, with a mesmerizing smile and was able to answer all questions posed to him in a down-to-earth manner. He also made a candid comment saying that his wife (Michelle) is too slim and wonders where does all the food she eats go.. So cute~
Joanne Peh's real tall, pretty and sane (after the madness that was witnessed on Star Awards 2009, I just HAD TO add the last descriptive word).. haha.. It's little wonder why her fans support her so much (they were the only fanclub who came for the event as a group).
Haha.. Overall, I had an ok time at the event. Sure hope mom enjoyed it too (felt kinda guilty for dragging her along and lingering around the vicinity from 2-7pm). As for our contribution to the event, we did our little part by getting a jacket and a vest from the wardrobe of Mediacorp (as for the actress who's actually worn the outfits, I'm not sure.. So if you do happen to remember these two pieces from some show, do tell! :)) Mom also got a C
harles and Keith bag for only $8! Here're pics of my steals:
Jacket: Liked the solid-ness of it, even though it lacked 2 buttons (the previous wearer muz have been pretty rough on this outfit)..
Vest: Liked it coz it's cheap. Haha.. Colour's to my liking too.. But it's an S.. Shall try to lose weight to accommodate..
