Astro Drama Awards 2008
Thanks Mr. Fam who ‘distributed’ the entrance tickets for us Chinese colleagues who’re interested to go. Thanks Irene for sparing her own 2 tickets to me as she can’t make the trip to Genting Highlands. That makes 4 tickets and Phaik Ee’s 2 friends can join both of us, otherwise we got no transport to Genting Highlands and the ticket might remain unused :P
I was so excited during that day coz finally able to go to Genting Highlands after a few years :D In the afternoon, my mum made a whole tray of pizza and cooked mushroom soup but I only grabbed a few to eat only, haha~
Wah~
As Phaik Ee said earlier she might be arriving at my house around 3.30pm. When I was preparing, I received her SMS saying that she had arrived. I rushed like hell and so pai-seh that her friends and her mum waiting outside >< We introduced each other, Jeffery the driver and Sean who sat next to him, both of them are Phaik Ee’s college mates. Phaik Ee just couldn’t stop chatting, there so many things to talk! Wuahaha~
Finally… We already reached the bottom of Genting Highlands and ready to experience the winding road. Jeffrey is so good in driving manual that made us ‘rollin’ behind, lolz…
In the car
Before reaching, we stopped by at a temple.
Phaik Ee’s mum helped us to take this photo~
Jeffrey parked his car at First World’s car park at papaya floor, some more illegal parking, lolz…It was around 5.15pm…
Coming out from the car park
Genting Highlands is not as cold as I expected. We were walking towards Arena of Stars from First World. As we passed by The Olive Restaurant, we saw there’re like many people surrounded the entrance and the area was fenced.
Tight security
We assumed that the ’stars’ will drop by. 5 of us joined the crowd for fun and hoping to witness TVB artists. All we can see were local artists, Miss Astro’s and hosts though =(
Times flied and it’s almost 7pm and we saw none TVB artists, geram! We knew that the red carpet will start very soon but we’re still at behind, lolz… We some more went to have our dinner at food court inside First World.
Vegetarian Fried Noodle
I called Angie and she said she’s already there and the red carpet was going on already. Argh, can’t see the live one T_T We then quickly dashed to Arena of Stars and saw a sea of people congested at the escalator. Security guards were there to maintain the order and people like us who got the tickets can pass through them. Can’t wait to see them!
We went inside Arena of Stars and found our seats (Gate F, left section, Yellow Zone, row YO and seat nNo. 258). I also saw my colleagues were there too~ The ceremony was started already when we came in, we missed for the beginning T_T
All the attending artists are coming out from the back stage
Wow! This was my first time in my life being at the live show with hosts and artists, I’m also able to see how a live show goes :D What we see will be broadcasted live at Astro’s Channel 311, I’m sure my family was watching too :D Well… I still can’t believe that wha’s in front of me was famous TVB artists even though we were quite far away from the stage.
4 hosts of the event
The hall is fully occupied
The humourous hosts always make fun of the VIPs and the crowd went frenzy when the situation involved Raymond, Ron, Bosco and Moses. Of course Linda, Tavia and Myolie were quite popular too~ Some nominated artists were unable to attend the ceremony like Bobby and Charmaine.

Can see the artists behind us? :D
Before we left, we colleagues took photo together :D
Before going back, 4 of us went outside Arena of Stars to take some photos.
The backdrop of the ceremony outside the arena
*PIANG* Guess who got shot?
Along the way, we saw many people outside The Olive Restaurant again. This time, we are able to see the real TVB artists walking into the restaurant! Guess that they were having meal and also interviews. Ahh~~~
‘Ambushing’ the artists to arrive
After that, we went to First World’s casino to find Phaik Ee’s mother who’s still inside while we were in Arena of Stars. I’m not sure about what she’s playing but I knew that it took quite a long time to clear the ‘bet’, lolz. I was so tired and almost dozed off already. Around 2am, we’re finally on our way going back to Kuala Lumpur.
Thanks Jeffery who drove us all the way to Genting Highlands and also all the way back to KL, a billion of gratitude :D Thank for everyone for having an enjoyable day with me. Hopefully I could get more entrance tickets from Astro in the future, next time must bring my family to go already~ ^^
