Achtung! Achtung! Never judge the silent exterior this dude carries. Once known, his personality explodes in a myriad of colours. Besides his love for design; he loves his friends to the core. Plight of an only child. Unfortunately, sometimes he is taken for granted because he's a damn wuss for friendship. Oh well.

It doesn't stop at a simple hello. Sometimes the finger stiffens, the mind widens. Hello journalife.

Project Hope 2010, behind the scenes!

Project Hope 2010 is finally over, but well not entirely because the toll-lines for the donations are still open until the 28th of November 2010, midnight. Come’on, let’s continue to do our bit for charity and pick those telephones and donate generously. A little goes a long a way and quoted from DJ Denise Tan, “Why stop at once when i can do it again?” (one of the MediaCorp artiste that was part of the telethon for Project Hope 2nd year in a row)

Yes, this is the 2nd time we’re having Project Hope and a collective effort indeed. I feel so humbled upon seeing the different walks of life lending a helping to make this show a successful one in the name of charity.

Through an international language called music, the amazing singers did one thing but convey the message to one all, to help the unfortunate in this time of need. As we try our best to refurbished this victims lives and continue to head on a normal life. Call in and donate alongside a simple prayer for them.

Project Hope 2010, was quite an event because of the time constrain everyone of us were at our wits end doing so. We rushed and burned the midnight oil from production to management to event planning, it wasn’t an easy task but it’s all for a good cause.

The show was fantastic, beyond words could describe.

Yup, that’s most of us during rehearsals as we help to stand in as one of the tele-thon artistes. It was freaking hillarious as try our best to fit into the roles of our “designated” artistes. Well hey, in every work there’s definitely fun that comes along with it yeah? :)

I was standing in for Divian Nair, 987FM DJ. Dang, i’m “Hot”. MUAHAHHAHAHA.

(Thanks Mas for the pics! :))

Here are more pictures that went on after the event/show! Woot woot.

I miss Sylvia Ratonel and we’re glad we’re in this show together :)

And with Gabrielle Ferdinands + Sylvia Ratonel. Damn we were having our own catching up to do during the show haha. Awesome misses.

Alrighty, to end things off, here’s the finale of Project Hope as Taufik Batisah, Sylvia Ratonel, Ayu, Tomok, Petra Sihombing, Angel, Gabrielle Ferdinands, Roberto Fernando and the CLV choir as they belt out the famous hit from the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson - “You Are Not Alone” and the theme song of Project Hope, - “With Hands United”. Don’t stop here, pick up those telephones and donate :)

Project HOPE 2010

I clearly remember last year, when Project Hope was being televised because of the Sumatran national disaster. I was still involved pretty much with Singapore Idol then and we were given this project at the extreme last minute of it all.

When it’s for charity, there was no second thoughts or so despite the hectic schedule we were given but it was all good, to do your bit. Definitely, Project Hope 2009, was quite a memorable for me and together with Idols of 2009 alike. A joint venture together almost 100 artistes for various channels and ethnic groups working hand in hand to lend a helping hand. Whats more, through a music event like this where music is the international language of love.

Here’s a video of last year’s Singapore Idol 2009 performance for Project Hope 2009. Singing, our fellow Asian Idol 2007, Hady Mirza’s winning number, You Gave Me Wings.

This year, Project Hope 2010 is back and definitely for a good cause, to cater to the needs to the recent Mount Merapi, Tsunami of Mentawai and Western Sumatra disasters that just occurred.

The recent tsunami happened on 25 October 2010 in Mentawai, Western Sumatra. The disaster was triggered by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake near a chain of remote islands off western Sumatra.  As of now, the official death toll touched 450, with 96 others missing, feared dead.The rescuers have managed to discover 135 persons, found sheltering on high ground and too scared to return to their ravaged villages.  However, the immediate efforts are now focused on supplying food and evacuating injured victims of the natural disaster that displaced more than 22,000 persons.

Mount Merapi in Central Java erupted on 26 October 2010, a day after the western Sumatran Tsunami.  Nearly 40 people have been killed since Mount Merapi began erupting last week.  Last Saturday, 30 October 2010, saw another large eruption.  Merapi has had 63 lava bursts and nine small gas emissions to date.To date, more than 53,000 people have been evacuated since the eruptions began last Tuesday.

Project Hope hopes to be part of the ongoing relief efforts being run in Singapore, together with NGO, Mercy Relief and contribute to the rebuilding of lives of these victims.

This year yet again, comprising of various artistes around with performances from Singapore; Taufik Batisah, Sylvia Ratonel, Roberto Fernando and Gabrielle Ferdinands.Friends from Indonesia we have, Angel and Petra Sihombing and from Malaysia we have Tomok and Ayu. Hosted by Khairuddin Saharom and Othelli Edwards
