When I heard the news that Disney Girl and Disney Adventures were folding, I was shocked. I thought they were doing quite alright in term of sales, so it's kinda come out of nowhere. Some ppl are being made redundant and some are going to be shuffled around to diff mags. It's really sad to hear the news, even thou I don't work there anymore but they've been part of my life for the last couple of years and I made great friendship with all of them. It is really the end of an era:(
As part of the final issue, they are doing the last group shoot at the studio today and invited the ex staffers like myself to partake in the shoot. We took tons of crazy silly poses. It's very bittersweet. I had so much fun working with these guys and I'm gonna miss them all so very much.

After waiting for months, Adam Lambert's GlamNation tour finally came to Sydney, so Iwan, Viv, Dean and I went to see it at Enmore Theatre Newtown. It was a sold out concert. We thought we would have a chance to grab dinner before we got inside, but people already queueing and going inside an hour before the opening act starts, and since it's a standing concert, we had no choice but to get in to find a good spot. Josh and witkke met us inside and the show itself didn't even start until 9ish. Lots of people trying to dress up as him with full on make-up, feathers and glitter. Some looked good , some bordering on the tragic side.
The show itself was really fun, flamboyant and a bit theatrical with over the top costumes, but I think the real reason people went there is to listen to his amazing voice and he didn't dissappoint. He played almost every songs from his debut album, For Your Entertaiment. The only downside is that he didn't sing songs that I actually love from the album, such as; Pick You Up, Time for Miracles and No Boundaries (I know that No Boundaries isn't his song but his version is so much better than Kris Allen's). He also didn't sang Mad World, a song that he actually famous for when he did Idol. Other than that, it was a really entertaining concert and we all had a blast. Hopefully he releases another album soon, that way he can have a longer set list and bigger budget for the concert.

For all of you who doesn't know what roller derby is, it's a full contact sport played on quad roller skates with 2 teams of 5 women skating around a small track. They got one player from each team called a 'jammer' who will tried to gain points by passing opposing players legally. The opposing players 'blockers' have to stop the jammer by creating physical obstacles or knocking her over. I quoted all that from their program book :p
At first, we thought it's gonna be empty and we prob the only person there but when we got there, lots of people already queuing up to get in and it's a full house inside. I didn't realise how popular this sport actually is. The theme of the night is Roller Wars and everyone is encouraged to dress up as a Star Wars character, but I didn't see anyone turn up in costume. They had staff wearing stormtrooper costumes wondering around for us to take pics of. I just wore wear black and red shirt which is the colour of the Sydney team to show my support and so did lots of people there.
The main match is The Assassins (Sydney) VS Vice City Rollers (Canberra). This is where the real game begins. Both teams are so strong and aggresive in trying to score as many points as possible for their teams. Lots of pushing and shoving and players getting knocked over.
At first, Sydney was leading the game but Canberra kept on tailing them. During mid break, they had a funky burlesque performance with Princess Lea get-up. I thought it was quite cool. The game was nail bitting up until the last minutes because the score was a tie but Sydney nailed it with their last jams. They ended up winning the nite by 4 points, 109 against 105 Canberra.
I had so much fun watching the match, I wish men can play roller derby because I would deff try to get in the team. It 's prob gonna be 10 times more brutal and aggresive thou. I'll be coming back again to see another match for sure.

We were working really really hard for the Checklist issue, staying back almost every night at work just to make sure we got everything right. It's full of useful information for the new mum, while the normal Cosmo Preg covered everything for mum-to-be.
Show some love and buy the mags guys:)

It's long weekend this weekend. Finally 3 days to rest from work. I think it's labor day on monday. Not really sure but whatever it is, yay for that!
Iwan invited me to his B'day bash on Sunday nite. Well it's a joined B'day between him and Dean. It's held at Strike Bar, King St Wharf. It's a B'day package thing that starts off with a free cocktails, followed by selections of gourmet pizzas, 2 games of bowling and karaoke or pool, all for $36 per person which I think is quite cheap.
It was a really fun night, got to meet a couple of friends that I haven't seen in ages like Igor and Will and it turns out they're all quite crap in bowling since I ended up winning and I know that I'm quite crap myself. Josh came closely second:).

We only left at midnight because it's their closing time, otherwise we would stil be there singing and eating the yummy cake. We continued the party by going clubbing to Oxford St for a few hours. My feet were killing me by the end of it but we all had a blast. Happy b'day again boys and many many more to come!

Viv and I went to see Charlie St. Cloud screening that was sponsored by the Dolly and Cleo mags tonight at Event Cinema after work. Zefron wasn't there to welcome us sadly but we did get a goodie bag filled with useful stuff if you're a teenage girl (which is the main target audiences for the movie). Dry shampoo, toothpaste, mascara, wallet, mags etc.
Tash asked me to give her the tampon if they had one but sadly they didn't give that out in the bag, so no tampon for you Tashie!
On top of that, we also got free soft drinks and popcorn and a mini fashion show before the movie start. The movie itself is actually quite good. Awesome if you're a big Zefron fans like myself. I think he's a really good actor, he's got a special charm and gentleness that works really well for this kind of movie.

In my opinion, the most annoying part of the movie is the trailer. Whoever did the cutting for the trailer should be fired because they show and tell the whole story of the movie there.
I know it's based on a book but I think you should keep some elements of suprise in the movie for the people who haven't read it. In saying that, I stil give it 3 and a half out of 5 stars.

It's been a super duper busy couple of weeks for me, with the crazy deadline and all. We had been staying back at the office every day until midnight this week. My body feels so tired and thank gawd we finally finished the whole design part yesterday. I don't envy the subbed dept at all because they still have a long way to go.
The Disney peeps got invited to the Camp Rock 2 Australian premiere and they invited me to come along. Free food and drinks after the deadline from hell? Hell yea! It was held at Deckhouse in Woolwich and we were supposed to take the free ferry ride from Darling Harbour, but since Klai is bringing Phoebs along, we drove there instead.
The Disney channel goes all out with the location' decor, entertainment for the kids and the place. The deckhouse is a really nice place and we all had never been to this area before. Lots of kids with their parents come as expected and once we all had the nibbles and drinks, they start playing the movie. We obvs didn't come there for the movie haha, I haven't even seen the first one yet, so we all just hung around out at the back waiting for more food to come. The food were quite nice Btw. Peking duck crepes, hot dogs, satay chicken, macaroon and champagne wit OJ for me.

My friend, Denin has a stall at the Sydney Uni Pet Fair today, so we went to give her a visit. I've known Denin for ages, since high school to be exact and now shes married, has a 3 yrs old kid (Chris, who is insanely adorable) and has opened a small business. I'm very proud of her. It's called Spoon and fork and specializes in cookies, cupcakes and wedding cakes.
As her friend I got the privilige to taste them all obviously and trust me, they're really really good. She brought a 20kg wedding cake to my office and we all eat it for days and days and everyone compliments at how delicious the cake is. She's really talented at what she does. She's like an Asian Martha Stewart!
