The Princess Diaries - Life, Travel & Food

Now I know why MJ is respected. His dreams inspired the world. His spirit was so loving. He was extremely committed, passionate and creative towards everything he did. "This Is It" revealed the footage of the rehearsal in the final days of his life for the last 50 concerts around the world. Please go and watch the original movie in the cinema, pay a tribute to MJ for all the effort showered into this last concert of his life.



For many more info on his movie and some clips, click here.

His music will live on forever. And though I was not a big fan of MJ, I still love the lyrics of his songs because there was always a lot of love and value, especially this one..."Man in the Mirror".

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Right, always think back of what you have done instead of pointing to other people. Every changes begin from you. And I could still hear MJ's message clearly -- "Even when we know that the earth is sick, we always think that the government will take care of it, they know what to do. THEY "WHO"??? They?? We should do it, starting from ourselves. We!" So every move should start from ourselves, I totally agree. We are too used to pointing towards people instead of ourselves. Many people would say I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. So who's going to suffer since everybody doesn't give a damn. Move out to Mars. Same as everyday life, don't expect people to change, if everyone can start the change from ourselves, life will be much beautiful. Numerous time you can hear from the movie that he said "Let's try it again, that's the reason we have rehearsal. God bless you!" He wsn't angry at all when his crew made mistake or couldn't meet his expectations.

I was touched and I am really glad that I gave myself a meaningful 2 hours in the theather watching the King of Pop who inspired millions of souls in the world on this day - Halloween. It's my name's 27th birthday (I'm 26 but my mom n dad named me right after I was in her tummy) today. Watching some of the on site shooting of a few clips for his concert like "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal" reminded me a lot about the 10 hours spent with our A* movie crew months back. Shooting a movie was hell difficult (we even went to the cemetery...) but it was a great experience. Tonight I did not join the Oktober Feste nor the Halloween Party. Just finished a can of 12.5% alc. Dutch beer while listening to MJ's songs and typing here.

Before 12am, I wish everyone a Happy HalloWEEN!~
(this was during our film shooting in Feb'09 for the annual dinner, little witch Hermione)

Our QIC Award Dinner was held in Cambodian Cultural Village. We were welcomed by a team of performers when we reached there at 7pm. First time in my life that I'm being treated as a VIP.



We hopped on to the electric tour cars to get us to the cocktail party at the Millionaire House before dinner.






Basically this is how big that cultural village is. I copied it from the official page so you click it to its original page.



Photos are a bit shaky because the electric car was running fast!






There we were - the Millionaire House, right at the center of the cultural park. It extends out to the Floating and Fishing Village where we had our cocktail and the welcoming performance.




The 'uumph' for winning, fire in the heart.



I love the serenity, very peaceful after sunset.



Everybody queued for the blessing.



Another Krama (shawl) I got! A greeny Krama.




This is more than just a cultural village, in fact I was impressed by the buildings at the Fishing Village. This place has exactly the same concept like the cultural village in Shenzhen.







The cocktail party.





Just like the type of dim sum (appetizer) called 'beggar's bag'.



Candle light cocktail.




After sunset.




Such wonderful ambience.



And wonderful free flow of alcohol too~



Siem Reap after dark. Lights taking over sunshine.



While we waited for the show to begin.


The Fishing Dance.





PHILIPS on ice. Award dinner at the Mini Theater.




The naughty boy.



And the super lady.



This was the most popular food of the night - roast lamb.



Not just food... also for fun. Look at them!




A big feast for all of us!



Candle in the wind appeared to be a piece of nice artwork.



The crowd. Human and insects flying around. I've never seen such many flying bugs in my life!! Too small to be captured into photo. I've changed at least 5 glasses of wine because there were even little grasshoppers in my drink!!



This was the biggest tha hopped onto our table!



The winner takes it all!




One of these is mine! (^.^)



The Challengers' table. We did come all the way to challenge the others.





Food time~



Gaining fat.





PHILIPS in Siem Reap.



Evy you looked gorgeous!



Pretty hot mama.



Sean, Anthony and Nai. Drink, drink, eat...



Wignes, Noel, Cheryl. Drink, drink, drink! We're the alcoholic gang. =p



Apsara Dance performance.



More meat! I couldn't imagine if I did put on weight after the trip... Luckily the weather was too hot and burned all my fat. Hehehe...



The candles melted but they were such an artwork!



Receiving acknowledgement from the judges on stage. Every team had to go on stage and get the feedbacks on our presentation in the morning/afternoon.



Dinner continued with the Lotus Dance.





Some other traditional Khmer dance.



Such a wonderful night. More wonderful thing we yet to expect after this...



And....Oh MY GOD!!! We WON??!!



I've never felt so contented throughout the first 1 year plus in my career. The honour! I did it?? WE DID IT!! And what's on my mind at that time? I WON A TRIP TO MARRAKECH!!!



The moment of glory. Phone calls and SMSes after that. If you look at the replies, the management team was like WOW!! Unexpectedly great for the first timer.



Still couldn't believe we made it through..haha. Was dancing like a jerk on the stage during the ending.



And after that, of course another round of celebration at Pub Street!!



Muacks~ Thank you for everything and see you at the World Final in Marrakech!! Was I dreaming....
