Watch this Space!!

Hey all!

So sorry for the lack of updates. Been super super busy running around the past few weeks, going for acting classes, going for meetings, emceeing events, script readings, image making and rehearsals, add to that, I’m also in the midst of helping a company source for some artistes, as well as a trip to Bangkok for a commercial shoot, I barely have time to sleep!

I guess I can now officially announce that I got myself 2 acting gigs in 2 separate TV series, both Mandarin, which will air on 8TV. Watch out for me in Goodnight DJ 2, as well as 8TV’s anniversary drama - A Time To Embrace(ATTE) coming soon. Both roles are supporting leads and challenging in their own right and I’m so excited to be starting shoot for DJ2 this week and ATTE on August 1st!!

Another exciting news! This site is going through a revamp!! Hopefully sometime in mid-august, you’ll be able to see a brand spankin’ new and cooler, more sophisticated looking belindachee.com!! So, really, watch this space!!

That’s all for now. Take care all and God Bless!!

Love, Bel

Travel like a VIP!

Out of all the trips I’ve had the past weekends, only the trip to Bali required me to travel by air. And just so happened, Joe wasn’t around that weekend to send me to the airport.

So, as I was contemplating on whether to take a cab or get someone to send me to KL Sentral to take the KLIA Ekspres (ERL) to the airport (since I was flying MAS), I was told about this brand new KLIA Ekspres VIP Service!

This service combines a limo pick-up and drop off with the ERL service to or from the airport.

The driver wanted to open to door for me but I asked him to take a picture of me instead!!

Well, this service is not exactly new, it’s been available for the past few years now, but before, the limo pick-up and drop off was limited to only commercial buildings and hotels but recently, KLIA Ekspres launched an additional service, the send-to-home service - where they pick u up or send you straight home!

So, instead of bothering other people to drive me an hour to the airport, or take a smelly cab with a creepy/perverted cabbie, I get picked up in an executive limo from home (you can share with up to 4 persons!) to Sentral, free porter service, and with the ERL leaving every 15-20 mins, I can travel in style without breaking a sweat (or a nail lugging my luggage!) and get to the airport in no time!

At the Departure Terminal

I was handed my ERL ticket by the KLIA Ekspres Rep…

… and he even escorted me to the check-in area

The beauty about taking the ERL is that you can check-in and drop off your luggage here in Sentral, and go straight to your departure gate once you’re at the airport. (No worries, my bags arrived safe and sound in Bali!)

This check-in service is currently available if you’re traveling on MAS, Royal Brunei, Cathay and Emirates with more to come in the near future.

And if you want to hang out in KL just that little bit longer, there are lots of amenities at KL Sentral - Banks to do your last minute money exchange and cafes like Coffee Bean to get your coffee fix while waiting for your travel partners (like I did…;))

Not only is it the fastest way to get to the airport (only 28 minutes!), there are no worries of traffic and taking the ERL is also a “green” way to travel!!

You can travel to the airport with more friends and also make new friends from all over the world in the half an hour train ride!

They also provide the send-to-home service for your inbound trip!

On the trip back, I was greeted at the baggage reclaim hall after immigration

I was given my train ticket and assigned a porter to accompany me throughout the journey to Sentral

Yes, the porter actually escorts you to Sentral in the train and once there, he will help you unload your bags and guide you to your awaiting limo ride!

It’s convenient, it’s fast, it’s comfortable and you’re given 1st class treatment all the way! So the next time you travel and have no transport to the airport, pamper yourself and travel like a VIP with the KLIA Ekspres send-to-home VIP Service!

For more information on this send-to-home VIP Service, go to this website, or be a fan!

Weekends away~

So I just realised, I’ve been away for the past 5 weekends!! Oh…. woe is me!! ;P hehehe….

First, in May on my birthday weekend,  Joe and I did a lil road trip around the East Coast to Cherating and Kuala Terengganu.

Watching people fly stunt kites on Cherating beach

Relaxing by the river/lake/sea(??) at Riyaz Heritage Resort, Pulau Duyung, Terengganu.

Then, the weekend after, I was in Perhentian for a diving trip and got my Advanced Open Water Diver License.

With the Dolphin Sport Adventure Team!

With brothers Chow Wei and Chow Kuan and our si-fu’s, Lee and Cyrena after receiving our Advanced Certs!

The first weekend of June, I went to Bali with 10 other girls for my girl friend’s Hens Party!

This is the beautiful bride-to-be, Elaine. We’re both from Kuching and attended tuition together!

The bride with all her hens! 10 out of the 11 girls here are from Kuching! Told you Kuching girls are “tha-bomb”!

And, I just got back from Singapore last weekend for Claire’s 1st birthday! Yes, she’s already 1! Can you believe it? Kids grow up so fast, don’t they?!

Looking more and more like daddy….

She started walking at 10 months and is now capable of running away from her parents! hehehe…

While in Singapore, we managed to visit the newly opened Marina Bay Sands Resort & Casino.

Tried my luck at the Roulette table and my birthdate won me $360!!

Inside the Casino. Lots of space and what I liked most was that there were 2 floors - one for smokers and one for non-smokers!

This weekend, Joe and I and both our parents went up to Genting and stayed a night there! Parents went to watch Engelbert Humperdinck live in concert. Since we already went to a casino the weekend before, Joe and I skipped the casino this time around and walked around the First World Mall/Arcade, before joining the rest of the family at the Karaoke and sang the night away!

I managed to talk Joe into taking Sticker pictures at the arcade!! The last time we took Sticker Pictures was probably about 10 years ago when we first started dating. Who said marriage changes everything?!? hehehe….

This will probably be my last weekend away till August when I go for my Europe trip!! Probably…..hehehe..

Oh by the way, I’ll be running 10km(!!) in the Standard Charted KL Marathon next Sunday. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish!! Will be all out training this week to make up for the lack of it the past month! hehehe…

Anyways, if you want to know how you can travel in style the next time you have to fly somewhere, well, check back here soon because I’ll tell you how you can travel like a VIP!! Till then, take care everyone!!

Love, Bel

The month of May

First of all, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. I really do feel overwhelmed by all the well-wishes, wall posts on Facebook and even e-cards I received from friends and acquaintances, you guys really know how to make a girl feel special on the day she said hi to the world, 28 years ago now. ;P  I’m currently on a road trip with Joe around the east coast, in Kuala Terengganu at the moment, will be in Penang this weekend to emcee the 7aste Cape Town event at Mansion 32. Penangites, if you guys have nothing on this Friday night do drop by, alright?

So we’re already half way through the month of May. Time flies, doesn’t it?  I really do apologize for not updating more often, a lot of times, I’d feel like updating but I don’t know what to blog about. Plus, it’s been quite a busy 2 months for me, nothing set in stone yet, but I’m really grateful that jobs are steadily pouring in.

Photoshoots

I’ve been keeping busy with various photoshoots, from profile shoots to magazine shoots..

Getting hair and makeup done at ‘Glitters by Eddie Putera‘ a brand new studio in town opened by husband and wife team of Eddie Putera and Nurfarahin Jamsari. That’s Awin doing my hair, she did an awesome job on my makeup too!

Kak Farahin had invited me to do some profile shots at their new studio and since I haven’t done a profile shoot in a while, I jumped at the opportunity!!!

This is just one of the shots taken by Abg Eddie and I absolutely love it!

Fooling around with Jason and SK when the cameras weren’t rolling at a Female magazine photoshoot. We were in a petshop at Mines Shopping Centre. I had to cuddle a little bunny rabbit for this photoshoot and I’ve never held a rabbit before, so it was quite a nerve-wrecking experience - for the rabbit and for me!!:)

Legs galore!!! Hehehe… With other hot chiccas for a shoot for Mint Magazine. It’s for the World Cup 2010 special issue and we were all given a quiz about the World Cup and I’d failed miserably. I only got 3 out of 10 questions right!! Who knew it was Winter time in June in South Africa?!?

Mother’s Day Celebration

The mothers in my life…my grandma and my mum.

I treated my family to a nice dinner at Angus Steakhouse in Pavilion for nice Japanese steaks.

I know a lot of times, our parents just want to spend quality time with us and that’ll make them really happy. However, sometimes, I think a gift is in order, just to show them that we do care and think about them and we appreciate everything that they’ve had to go through to bring us up.  A meaningful gift is just a little form of ‘payback’ if you will…..

This year, I found them both a perfect gift! Aptly named the uMama Warm, by Osim.

My grandma and mum enjoying their uMamas!!

This one compact device thumps the tired shoulders and lower back and also warms the cramping/aching tummy all at once! Joe bought a set for his mother as well!!

Trying out the uCrown2 while shopping around the Osim outlet in 1U. Behind, our 3 sets of uMama Warm ready to be given to their rightful owners.

It’s not a lot of money to spend to guarantee our mums that 15 mins of comfort everyday, knowing that they’ve spent even more on making us comfortable all our lives!

Emergency First Response (EFR) Class

I’ve always had the intention to learn how to do First Aid and CPR but never really pursued it actively. So when Lee and Cyrena from Dolphin Sport told me that they will be conducting EFR classes for some of the soon-to-be Rescue Divers and asked if I wanted to join in the class, of course I said YES!!

About to give CPR to a half-bodied dummy…

We played out some case scenarios as well… It was both fun and informative!! Of course you pray that you’ll never have to perform CPR on someone for real, but with the knowledge, if a situation arises, at least I know I can do my part in helping save a person’s life.

I’ll be taking my Advanced Open Water Diving Course in Perhentian next weekend!! So excited!!! Can’t wait to go underwater again!

Around Town..

At the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show recently, dressed in Marc by Marc Jacobs. I love the skirt!!

All the colourful people dressed in Marc by Marc Jacobs at the show!!

Went to watch the first live show for 8TV’s Showdown 2010 at KL Live Centre last Wednesday. Hafiz from Fly FM is the host of this reality dance show on the lookout for the best dance crew in Malaysia.

There was a mix of some amateur crews as well as professionals in this competition. But boy, can they all dance!! This is the Gila Battle Crew (GBC) performing their routine. They’re one of the crowd favourites. You can watch all episodes of Showdown 2010 on Catch-up TV at www.8tv.com.my.

That’s about all I have to update on for now. Gonna go to MYDIN mall now, the most happening mall in KT to do some shopping! hehehe…. Till my next post! Love Love everyone!!

Love, Bel

Life so far..

Hi all,

Just a quick lil update of my life, so far.

Married life is good, I feel so blessed. Joe is working hard to earn money so I don’t have to work…hehehe…I have a mother-in-law who takes great care of everyone in the house, so I always have food to eat irregardless of what time I get up or get back home. Work has been steadily streaming in, I’m loving all the breaks I get to take to go see the world, what else can I ask for? Life is treating me well.

Just got back from a tour of Taiwan with my MIL and family, was supposed to leave for a “2nd honeymoon” to Europe this Saturday but we’ve decided to postpone the trip till August in light of the current air space/volcanic ash situation. Still working on the 4th Episode of It’s a Belle World, don’t know whether there’ll be more episodes coming after that because I haven’t been diligent enough in video-ing my trips. hehehe….

I have several new projects in talks at the moment which I’m really excited about, kinda anxious as well coz it’ll require me to really step out of my comfort zone and overcome new and very challenging obstacles. Don’t know whether I still have the determination in me to pull through.  We’ll see…:)

I’ll leave you here with a couple of pictures from the month that was….

At the magnificent Meydan Racecourse for the Dubai World Cup 2010!

Raz, my partner-in-crime, was back from the UK for a couple of weeks. So glad we managed to catch up. Check out his long-flowing locks!!

At a shoot for Mingguan MStar with Wincci and Owen. Thanks Xavier!

Taipei 101!
