Fun bites [U 玩没完]

Wanna know how much fun we had at last Saturday’s Personal Taste private screening? These bloggers have all the stories!

Excerpts from VANESSA ’s blog

We were supposed to reach by 4.45pm for registration. I thought I was early cause I reached by 4.35pm, but I was kinda shocked when I reached. Look at the long queue! The above picture is like, only half of the entire chain of people……

Excerpts from VIVIAN’s blog

To think that I thought today will be the day when Lee Min Ho and I meet …
Then I can show off to all my friends that I saw Lee Min Ho; I even shook his hands and took a picture with him!

Excerpts from STRAWBERRYCHAN’s blog

It was a game where 4 female fans of the Korean heartthrob were asked what they were to do if they meet with Lee Min Ho. There was a moment of excitement. You mean Min Ho is here?

Excerpts from TINGZI’s blog

This is like, the most hilarious thing that day. They are so super evil to cut away the face of Son Ye Jin!!! (Eh, people so pretty some more lor. I bet the guys are like, why didn’t they cut away Lee Min Ho’s face as well…….

Hope you like their coverage (we like them very much), and if you a keen blogger, do look out for more “U Blogger Wanted” events on Ch U!

PS: Thanks to all Vanessa, Vivian, Strawberry Chan and Tingzi for your interesting coverage!

You might be wondering what’s 《型男美媚沙滩乐》 Hey Gorgeous on The Beach about.

Is it a new programme? Is the online “beauty” pageant back?

Well.. no, it isn’t.

Hey Gorgeous on The Beach is not a new programme or a returning season of the popular 《校花校草追赶跑》 Hey! Gorgeous. Well, not the same competition as least.

It is Channel U’s first beach event to be held on 11 Sep, Sat at Sentosa’s Siloso Beach (Sapphire Pavillion). It is also an opportunity created specially for you to have a fantastic good time at this carnival with a sea of beautiful people and spend an exclusive personal time with your favourite celebrities.

 Date:                11 Sep, Sat

Time:               2pm

Venue:             Siloso Beach, Sentosa (Sapphire Pavilion)

Two competitions will be happening at this event:

(1)     二人三足追赶跑Three-Legged Race

(2)     寻找沙滩型男美媚大行动 Hey Gorgeous Hunt

二人三足追赶跑Three-Legged Race

This is not as tedious as any YOG games. But a simple co-ordination game that involves a team of two participants with one of each leg’s strung together.

Like this

All you have to do is to reach the finishing line as fast as you can and you are on your way to the race with TV celebrities. How wonderful is that? Not even the YOG contenders get to compete with TV celebrities. Total worth of $1,700 worth of prizes to be won (including a pair of air tickets to an overseas beach holiday)

Registration details can be found here. (Online registration only. Click the link before you miss the deadline)

寻找沙滩型男美媚大行动 Hey Gorgeous Hunt

We are not scouting campus grounds this time so here’s the difference, we want all GORGEOUS BEACH HUNKS AND BABES! If you have an outgoing and sunshine personality with a great body to flaunt, then come on down to Sentosa’s Siloso Beach and lookout for our patroling “scouts” these Saturdays

-          21 Aug, 2pm-4pm

-          28 Aug, 2pm-4pm

Simply be spotted at the beach and you just be one of the finalist for the 10 Hey Gorgeous finalists competing at the Hey Gorgeous on The Beach main event!
