I got a new pair of shades just for cycling. And I better love it because it cost me a lot for it.

It’s from Oakley which I managed to get it for a pretty reasonable price at more about 20% off (at Bangsar), considering most of the authorised dealers only offers 10% at most.

Here are some pics taken during Le Tour De Langkawi 2008 event at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. I had the privilege to play around with my dearest’s Canon 5D camera while he used his new Canon D Mark III.

And I think that cyclists are really HOT! Except the bad sunburn, of course. LOL.

Two (2) weeks after the Pizza Hut TVC, I was offered another TVC job for F&N condense milk. The shoot took place at Putrajaya and shooting was in the morning instead. Going to Putrajaya reminds me of the time I used to cycle the 50km at Putrajaya. For this shoot, I had to wake up as early as 4am and last minute there were two (2) talents who couldn’t make it for the shoot and my agent had to help find replacement. Lucky enough, I managed to contact a friend who was happened to be awake at 4am in the morning and he was willing to give up his beauty sleep for the shoot. LOL. Come on, he didn’t even get to sleep at all. But I did appreciate his help for coming. From morning till about 8am, I was practically sending SMSes and making phone calls non-stop till I found another friend who agreed to take the job but didn’t had transport to come. To cut the story short, in the end, they didn’t need him anymore. Obviously my friend got pissed la. Come on, he was already getting ready and even called a cab, then last minute had to tell him not to come. *Very sorry about that*

Another friend of mine who once agreed to take the job then decline just because the shoot requires us to wear formal. =_=” No comment. Then there’s another another friend who was able to make it but didn’t want to take the job because he has signed a contract with his current company and that he is not allow to take up any other jobs. *ahem* *ahem* Oh well.

One of the main cast was this muscle builder guy. Forgotten what’s his name. He is supper big wei. Me and my friend were saying that, people like him is good to nice to have as a bodyguard but not as a boyfriend. Haha… True wat.

Let me give you a little idea of what the commercial is all about. There were these three (3) architecture engineers sitting at the mamak discussing on some projects . Then after drinking the teh-tarik, one of them got his inspiration from the F&N cans arranging at the mamak (which looks like twin tower). Then in the end, after twin-tower was complete, there was a open ceremony and all. Portraying success with F&N. Do check out the TVC on TV soon.

I’ve been deprived of sleep. Why? Firstly, was because of the overnight TVC shoot, secondly because I had to rush for my fashion final year profile and thirdly was because I attended the Backstreet Boys concert the day after the TVC shoot.

This is what happened two (2) weeks ago. The TVC shoot was on a Tuesday, the shoot only wrapped up at 5.30am in the morning and I had a morning class at 9.45am. Since it was a lab session, so I decided to skip the class and sleep a little longer, then attend the next one at 12pm.

I bought the Backstreet Boys tickets a day before the concert, just in case I can’t get any tickets at the very last minute. To a certain extend, I can be quite kiasu. Haha… Anyway, I’ve always been a big fan of the Backstreet Boys, to the extend of collecting their posters, stickers, cards, albums, singles, biography books, VCDs and even wasted few colour cartridges printing pictures of them.

Okay, just to tell you a little of what went wrong that morning. I got home that morning at 6am and went to bed at 6.30am, later at 7.30am, Pietro from Mix FM smsed me and ask me whether I still need tickets for the Backstreet Boys concert. Obviously I didn’t hear the sms beep on my phone because I was fast asleep. Later at 9am, he called me instead and told me that Hitz FM are giving away four (4) VIP passes for the Backstreet Boys concert and told me that I have to go to Astro at 10am and had to go on air. I was so sleepy, I didn’t hear him mentioning the “VIP” word and mistaken it for normal passes. Then I thought since I have bought the tickets, why not let someone else have the tickets. I was dead tired so I couldn’t bother to wake up to go over to the radio station at 10am. The part when he told me that I had to go on air, I thought I had to compete with another listener to get the tickets. *Thought to myself it was a waste of time* But the request was as simple as saying “Thanks you, Hitz fm!” on air. By the time I was fully awake, that was about 11am, I then realised that I have made a BIG MISTAKE! I called Pietro back to clarify what he mentioned earlier but too bad, they have already given away the VIP passes. Man, I should have just said “YES”! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg…. For the whole day, I was so upset with myself and tried to convince myself that it’s just another VIP passes. Not big deal whatsoever. But still, it was free passes and I could have sold mine and get back my cash. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh. *sob*

Lesson learned: Always say yes to free passes. If you don’t want it, can still decide later. LOL

Anyway, back to the concert. The concert was held at Sunway Surf Beach. My friends and I arrived to the entrance at 6pm and people were already queuing up since early in the afternoon. It was raining that evening and I thought “Yay! We all gonna be dancing in in the rain“. LOL. *just kidding* It turned out that the weather was on our side, the rain stopped just before the concert and we were only let in after 8pm. The management for the concert did a very poor job managing the crowds. The late comers were let in earlier than those who had been queuing for hours. *So unfair* Some of the unhappy crowds were pushing, yelling and swearing at the management because they been queuing for hours. Sigh, what had happened to people these days? But after everyone has passed entered, the traffic was a lot smoother.

Channel V was also presents at the event.

The concert only started at 9pm after three (3) hours of waiting.

The Backstreet Boys sang more than 20 songs, mainly from their new album – “Unbreakable” and few other hits from their previous albums. The concert was worth the wait. The overall performance by the Backstreet Boys were awesome, just lack of interaction between the crowds.

I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo depress for whatever reason and I thought it was probably the end of the world for me.

So I attempt to kill myself.
