Opening Launch of The Cathay



Well well...23rd March...this is what alot of people and I have been waiting for...the opening of The Cathay. HQ is closed for the day, and all staffs are activated to help out at this big event. It's one of the biggest and the only event of such concept in the movie industry and in Singapore. All staffs are dressed up nicely and helping out as ushers, receptions, minders, bouncers and security. No government bodies was at this event, but mainly our vips consist of boss's family members, working partners and medias.
Highlights of this event were shocking and suprising. We had performances of movie characters such as Marilyn Monroe, Austin Powers, Batman sequence with Joker and Catwomen, Spiderman sequence, Moulin Rouge, The Mask, Elvis Presley. And many other characters just walking around the building and having polaroids taken with our guests. Other characters are Star wars and troopers, Rocky, Bruce Lee, Adams family, Trinity and Neo, The Bride & gogo yubari, Wolverine and cyclops, tootsie and many many more!!! There was also aerial acts (from cirque de soleil) doing their stunts up in the air. there was also musicians suspended in the air and playing music as guests register and walks in. And....there was pyrotechnics (fire works) inside the building, right after our boss did her speech!
A really unforgettable and wonderful event.

This is the very first time HQ is closed for the day, and the first time that all staffs gets to dress up nicely and enjoy. See photos lah :) But kinda sad, cos alot of us didn't get a chance to take photos or polaroids with the movie characters! Cos firstly we're too busy and secondly, guests has priority to take pics with the movie characters.
Well, sad to say, the only tenant now is the cinemas, but check it out when the seats are still new! The mall looks really nice from the outside cos of the lights. Really a nice place.
Check it out when you have the time yah :)

The Long Awaiting Moment

Haven’t got a chance to update on anything since my first post! How terrible of me. Well, everyone in my company has been busy with preparations for this historic big event. Here’s a little update of it.

Finally...the moment is near...the day a lot of us and I have been waiting for. Not that it's really like a big deal to me…but it’s just something I would like to witness and something I would like to tell my kids about. And at least, there’s a new place to go to or hang out.

The Cathay, formerly known as Cathay Building, will re-open its doors to the public on Friday 24th March. Those who don't know where it is, it's in between Dhoby Ghaut's Macdonald's house and Paradise Centre. Those who have been to the old one to pak tor and watch movies would have been looking forward to this to rekindle their dating days. Expect a new and modern concept, with a little classic touch of retrospective. The Cathay will be different from what you see at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. I shall say no more about this and continue to leave the curiosity in you. :D

My New Blog!!!

Hey hey hey!!! My new blog is finally up and running!!! All thanks to Darren, who set this blog up for me. What to do, me quite busy at work, & since Darren was Super FREE then :D
Hopefully, with this new blog, more people will read lah :p Will try to write about more interesting stuffs, & post more interesting pictures. But sure can't win XiaXue's posts lah! Duhz. She seems to have alot of time... (*scratching head*).

For this first post, let me announce, my 2nd edition to my painful collection! A new tattoo, on my feet! Specially designed by MissPurple, Mysstique & Myself!!! I was super bored...super super! And I never expected I could draw! So I just pick up a mechanic pencil and scribble on my notebook...and WALA! I love what I draw!
This design was initially meant for the ankle, and was suppose to be sort of a LEO sign.
But the more I draw the more it looks like something else, but just not so LEO sign.
And my tattoo artiste showed me that it looked nicer on my feet instead of ankle, so i went ahead with feet.

Pain man! Definitely more painful than my first one on my back! But the pain was bearable lah, and still addictive. HAHA! I seriously advise lah....those who intend to and seriously want to have one...better think twice. The feeling and pain during the process...is really addictive! Dun believe...ask those who have tattoos! I'm going to extend this feet tattoo up till my ankle...when I have the time to draw lah :D

Ok that's all for now lah. A bit late already...and feeling super tired! Nite nite for now. more updates soon! :D

Meanwhile....enjoy the music that I HAVE PICKED FOR YOU! :D
