933 金曲奖

Yeah! 五月天在昨晚的“933金曲奖”中赢得了[最佳乐团]、[最佳创作歌手]和[最佳唱片制作]三大奖项,真替他们感到高兴。

昨晚只有阿信当代表,因为其他4位成员在北京准备11月5日的[Final Home 当我们混在一起]演唱会。不过,他们预先录了个“得奖感言”的VCR。

阿信穿上五月天101博览会纪念t-恤和一件褐色的夹克,跟静茹一起走‘星光大道’。我和千慧还有她的一位Energy迷朋友丽华看了阿信和静茹后便上6楼去找她的另一个朋友拿票进场。

到场观众不是很‘合作’的一群,加上佩芬一直摆乌龙,惹得大家没精打采地拍掌尖叫。其实我并不喜欢933的DJ,因为他们大多数都很‘虚伪’,也很‘自命清高’。有一些常爱说些‘尖酸刻薄’的话来讽刺一些听众、同事或歌手,真的不专业。也显示他们没什么文化或教养。

昨晚真正的大赢家是‘新加坡的新宠’林俊杰。JJ的现场表演其实真的很不错,而我也觉得他真的在音乐上有蛮高的造诣,后生可畏,要加油!而昨晚就像是在观赏林俊杰和孙燕姿的迷你演唱会。我个人认为孙燕姿唱现场反而比林俊杰逊色多了。但最失望的还是FIR的Faye,她唱‘千年之恋’唱得好辛苦,上气不接下气,从来不曾看过他们的现场表演,而在这之前,听佩芬和嘉惠说Faye唱现场很棒,现场魅力不俗,听了让人期待,谁知让我大跌眼镜,哎...

周华健依然很搞笑,听他唱歌仍是一重享受。而梁静茹和蔡淳佳清澈的嗓音,加上现场的功力,也让我听出耳油。

最搞不懂为什么潘嘉丽和洪俊杨到现场干吗?还有那个Maia Lee,穿得好离谱,倒不如不要穿!

所谓‘金曲奖’真的是在‘颁猪肉’,‘有来就得奖’,而如果933邀你来,你不给面子的话,那就别想DJ们在933播放他/她的歌,也甭想以后在金曲奖中被提名。

Kat's Dismissal

Was quite shocked to come back from my leave on Wednesday to find out that Kat was being sacked, and that she was told to leave on Monday! Strange... how come I couldn't sense anything on Monday?

Actually, she's very fond of lying... I would never know when she's telling the truth or not... Happened to find out only when I overheard some colleagues talked about her 'background'. So she has been going around telling people about her sob stories... and it all defers from one person to another.... when she told me her story, she wanted me to keep it a secret, saying she doesn't want people to sympathise with her or pity her.

Her version of story to me is that she grew up in a problematic family. Her parents separated since young. Her mum left them and stayed with another man. Her father was abusive, and police would often come to their house because of her dad's frequent beatings and threats. She told me she stayed with her grandma, her siblings and and father in MacPherson. It seems that she's staying in an old semi-detached house (from her description of the place cos I used to work in MacPherson). But she claimed that she's poor.... dat's why got to work many part-time jobs to earn money to pay for school fees, as her parents don't really want her to study!!! And then towards the end of her attachment, she told me she's going to have to worry about where to stay cos her dad is going to sell the house, and he wants the money but not the family!

WOW!! This sounded serious and we went around trying to find out her who her MP is, my colleagues even offered her a place to stay, and gave her second-hand furniture!!! But all these are LIES of cours!

Ultimately, she told me her dad didn't sell the house. But she told my colleague he sold the house and they are now staying in Whampoa! Hmmm....

Anyway, I also heard from another intern that she's moonlighting... selling health products via MLM.... and that intern was 'cheated' by her..... Sigh.... how can young girls like dat be so "EVIL"???? Is there something wrong with the education system? Or is the media advocating all sorts of 'cool behaviour' from the Western Worlds??

Well... she also has been lying about her status in our company. She told me she's a CONTRACT staff when her team member told me she's a PERMANENT staff... Strange... why would she lie about this as well?

Sigh.... I guess its good for her to leave. It's like growing a rotten apple in the garden, slowly, the vegetation around her will turn rotten under her influence.

Miss "Keng"

Miss Keng is on half day leave today... She claims that her son is sick and has to go to the childcare to fetch him to see a doctor.

She came into my fish tank around 12:30pm and told my manager that she's unable to finish her post-buy because the childcare called her husband and informed him that her son is having very high fever and is now vomitting! She could even tell us things like "Oh! The childcare cannot find me so they called my husband and my husband just told me that my son is having very very high fever like 38.9 degrees celsius and he's vomitting!".

Well..... if I am her, I could cut out all those details about childcare not being able to find her and tell my manager I had to leave ASAP. But she can still tell stories.... and later ask my manager "So you think I should send him to the polyclinic or to the KK? cos I got no experience in this....." I also got no experience in this....but logic tells you that you shouldn' send your kid to the polyclinic!! Come on.... other than being CHEAP, do you think the medicine the polyclinic doctors prescribe can MIRACLES that can cure your sickness?? Also, don't you think it will take a long time for your turn to come when you wait at Polyclinics?

Never use BRAIN! Maybe she can't detect her brain when she's panicky!

7 yrs in the Media Industry doesn't mean that you are smart and able and experienced. My manager asked her to input some powerpoint charts and she had problems inputting the data. The worst is when she finally input the figures, she sent it to my manager without checking the alignment. My manager wrote an email back to say the alignment is horrible!!! This time she'll format the slides but do take note the next time. To my surprise, she replied and said she's not familiar with powerpoint at all, and the instructions to her was "input the data only", never mention about alighment!!! Oopps... then those Advance Word, Excel & Powerpoint sessions that she went to in the past for FREE was gone to waste!! Worse still, she showed me the Certificates she got from attending those sessions?!?!??!?!??!

Damn pissed off when she didn't even send an email to update us on what needs follow up? I just SMS her but she didn't even bothered to reply my sms.... Luckily I don't bet my life on her, or else I would have killed myself and owe the world many debts! I contacted SPH and asked if the booking is reflected in ADNET cos there's some problem with my ADNET password.... strange .... stupid ADNET doesn't seem to recognise my user ID and password... GRRRR....

Tomorrow is Deepavali!! YEAH!!! Holiday!!!! and Wed I'm on leave because I had to help Yuan with her ROM ; )

I wonder what is going to happen on the 2nd Nov ; ) Must find a way to make Xueling cry!! and tape it and send to Yanshan for 'viewing pleasure'..... hehehe
