Quickie Update : on like everything lah!

Quickie post!

Sorry, just a quickie one cos its a rather busy day for me at home, just a coupla things to address - housekeeping on a number of things that have cropped up!

1. Charles in an accident!!

At about 12noon today I received a tweet on my phone from @siproducer saying 'I hope Charles is ok'. Like a few seconds later I got @izked's tweet saying 'Oh no! Charles got involved in a car accident!'. I gasped so loud, the people around me at ion Orchard (I was with my son) all started staring at me, almost dropped my ribena packet, so I called Izked straightaway to see what happened.

Iz reported he's ok (THANK GAWD!) ... he was on his way to Ann Hussein's (the Top 4 were expected there for this week's music video vocals) and got sandwiched on the PIE. Luckily he's alright! Phew!

So everyone - breathe.....

2. Getting Idol tickets

From what I understand, Idol tickets are given away every Thursday (for the following week's show) at 6pm at MediaCorp Reception. Each Idol is also allocated tickets for their fans, so they will usually put up a Facebook post on their respective fanpages about the tickets.

3. Sleeq's performance vids

Aiyo I'm so sorry. I was up til like 4plus and youtube was still 'processing' the vid which I had uploaded like 3 hours before at 1am. Sigh. Will be trying again tonight..sorry @syarifsleeq and @iamalyph :(

4. Where the Idols at?

Tonight ladies and germs, your Top.. I dunno how many (I know Duane and Farhan are going), will be at the Twilight New Moon gala premiere at Shaw Centre (Lido theatres). Sigh, was so torn about giving up my ticket to join them (yes, producers were kind enough to include me this time round for the premiere-so sweet right?!- but I got mommy duties :) Plus my fave cuz is in town :) Will save New Moon for after I read the book.

5. Celebrate 2010

Your Top 13 will be performing at this year's Countdown party and its called Celebrate 2010. Find out the details and join the facebook group to get updates and behind-the-scenes stuff as we get closer to the show - rehearsals etc should be starting next month - so even MORE Idol stuff to look forward to after the Indoor Stadium finale on Dec27!

Join now and confirm your attendance!

Ok, thats my quickie update...here are some more behind the scenes pics from the Step Up & Dance trailer shoot courtesy of JameseyJames :)

Best buds and neighbours...Awesome twosome Duane and Faizal.

Uncle Ken speaks + 3 other vids!

QUICKIE POST!

I'm like rushing off to catch the Idols at their first MediaCorp Tradeshow at the Ritz Carlton (waah so glam). But I thought I'd put these vids up first before I go so you all got something to read/watch/hear this afternoon! :)

I managed to catch Uncle Ken right after the show - in a stairwell no less (haha, I held his car keys hostage until he agreed to talk to me!) and here are his thoughts about the rest of the season and what he thinks about the contestants and the voting trend. Thank you Ken for the impromptu interview :) Much appreciated!

*I shall be more prepared next time and shoot him more specific questions!*

This is my quick mini interview with Justin while he was packing up at the green room. :( I am so gonna miss Justin - have grown rather fond of him - his humour, his Apple products (iphone, macbook, ipod etc), and just HIM la. I've gotten to know him a little better and he's always there with a ready smile and hug whenever he sees me :)

I have to say I was a little surprised that he was in the bottom 3 because I thought he had a huge following judging from his Piano Show results. Perhaps the votes were close. But as much as I don't want to see Justin eliminated, I would have been devastated if it was Tabby - I'll tell you why in my next post, in the meantime - I gotta dash - I only have 10 mins to post this and get my ass to Ritz Carlton!

Nah, some lovely singing of my favourite tune Belaian Jiwa by Syarif (Sleeq) and Airi while hangin around at keycheck! Awesome stuff!

xoxo, s.

ps. catch my tweets/pics from the Ritz Carlton event later!

HOT OFF THE IDOL PRESS!

THIS JUST IN FROM TWITTER.....

Judges are deliberating RIGHT NOW!

As seen from tweets from host Gurmit Singh and the mysterious SI Producer, 40 sang and only 24 will make the cut at the end of today to make up your Top 24.

Who are the 12 girls and 12 guys set to get your fingers a flutter when voting begins in Sept!

ACK! Can't wait! Super exciting!

Xoxo, s.

ps.

Check out who I spotted, working as an intern at Channel 5 and covering SI?

Syarif of sleeq. In't he cute?!

This guy's nominated for a coupla categories on Anugerah Planet Muzik and he's interning here? :) Lovin' Sembunyi dude!

note to self : must get better pic of Syarif!
