My Favourite Moments of 2010

I get exhausted just thinking about all the stuff that happened during the year. I mean, just when we thought 2009 had taken up all the quota on natural disasters and celebrity deaths for the rest of the century, 2010 gave us more of the same, like it or not.

But on the personal front, mostly good stuff happened for me. And here are just some of my favourite moments:


MHI Debut
Yup, it’s never too late to try something new in life. And so on 1st Jan 2010, I made my debut as a host on Malaysia Hari Ini. It was beyond nerve-wracking, to be honest. But I’ve learned a lot since then, and in total, I’ve done more than 90 shows to date. Not bad for a total amateur :)
...

Launched TonTon
Got on stage as The Rock and helped to launch Malaysia’s coolest website ever, http://www.tonton.com.my/. Yup, it’s a total rush to present to some one thousand industry professionals while holding a WWE Championship Belt.
...

Theme Park, Theme Park, Theme Park
Went to four of the biggest and funnest theme parks in the world this year; Movie World & Dream World in Australia, Everland in South Korea and Universal Studios in Singapore. Not much of a “rides” person, but the souvenirs are nice lah…
...
.Yusuf Islam Interview
The man, the icon. I almost lost the interview when he had to initially cancel his MHI appearance due to his being ill, but the team persevered and in the end, I managed to get an exclusive with him at his hotel. An enlightening and truly memorable experience it was.

...
The French Expedition
Well, sort of. It was my first time in the country, but managed to see some amazing stuff in Nice, Cannes and Paris. The credit card bills are still haunting me, though…
...
...
Jammed As A Boy Scout
It was a costume party lah. But don’t I look cute? Hehe.
...
OMG, It’s SJP!
So I was at this party in Cannes when guess who walked in? Sarah. Jessica. Parker. I mean, how many of you can actually say that? Haha. Didn’t get a personal photo with the woman, but this is good enough.

...
Wet, Wet, Wet
Yup, I “showered” on national TV. Nice....

Happy New Year, folks!

My Favourite Stuff Of 2010

It's that time of the year where everyone cranks out their year-end list. Here's my first one:

Film
 Inception

The hype was easily met. And then some. Mind-bogglingly awesome, it was one of those films you simply didn’t want to end.

...Blu-Ray
Avatar
A cinematic spectacle, James Cameron’s masterpiece holds up well on Blu-Ray as well. With loads of extra stuff for the truly obsessed.

... ..Concert
Green Day in SingaporeNot only the best of the year. But the best EVER. Seeing my favourite band playing a flawless, rockin’ set was a dream come true indeed. I still have chills just thinking about it.

... .....Musical Theatre 
Amy: Satu MasaA bold attempt that really paid off for the legendary rocker. Amy rocked, serenaded and opened up to show us sides of him we never saw before. Truly memorable.
......
Guilty Pleasure
Katie Perry's "California Gurls"
Hated the tune when it first came out, but now, I can't get enough of it. Everybody now... "Cah lee for nia gurls, they're unforgettable..."

......TV Show
Malaysia Hari Ini So OK, I'm biased, but it's not the number one morning show on TV for nothing, ok?

...Sporting Event 
The World Cup England flopped yet again, but South Africa did a brilliant job at hosting the tournament despite all the doubts.

Book
I'll Mature When I'm Dead by Dave Barry If you didn't know yet, Barry's my favourite writer of all time. And this one's another classic!
... 
Gadget 
iPad Thought I could resist jumping on the bandwagon. But Mr. Jobs really knows marketing, and of course, what makes a good product. (And we all stopped laughing at the name eventually, didn't we?)

Website
Tonton.com.my
Yup, biased again, but it's a whole new way to watch TV. Kau mampu??? Hahaha...
... ... 
App
Flipboard

A “social magazine” with all the stuff that matters to me. It doesn’t get any better than that.
. 
Vacation 
UK (again) Only ‘cos we went to Shakspeare’s freakin house this time around!
... ... 
Food 
Macarons
And I was lucky enough to taste the real thing. You know, the ones from France!
