Dim Sum with Angus of "io"

Gigi had seen and worked with many many local bands. but only one band, Gigi's willing to says she's their "die hard fan"!! and that band is.....*drum roll..... "io"!!!!!!! I LOVE io!!!!!! Ever since the first day I met them at "Summer Music Blast 2007"!! Gigi loves io!
"io" went to Taiwan almost 2 years ago to chase their music dream. I wish them all the success. While they r away.. Gigi listens to their musics, and watch their videos almost EVERYDAY(yes.. I'm obsess...but.. come on!! they r "io"!!)!!
Last week, the vocal of "io" Angus Chan, went back to Vancouver to visit his mom for a week and for Chinese New Year. Kaila and I took the chance to ask Angus to find some time to hang out. Since Angus told me on msn how much he misses the dim sum in Vancouver, we decided to go dim sum, and let him order as much as he wants! And end up, Angus broke the record of the most dim sum ever ordered by 3 ppl.. *drum roll..... 14 dishes!!!!! Wow!! This will goes down the history!
Thx for taking time to hang out with us Angus~~ I miss u sooooo much. Good luck in Taiwan!!! I'll pray for you. God bless.

UBCJA "Shockwave"

On Feb 4th,2010. UBCJA hosted a Rock concert called "Shockwave". Interestingly, "Shockwave" was also the name of EMP's first big gig. EMP's "Paris in Tokyo" was invited to play with 3 other bands that night. We had a lot of fun. Thx for inviting us UBCJA! Gigi was busy as usual at back stage with "Paris in Tokyo" for hair and makeup, "Re-frian" asked to get some hair and makeup done too, haha XD Sure! line up kids! Let Gigi Mama works her magic on all of u! XD
As usual, we went after party for beers(especially if Hayato is here, Hayato needs beers, always..). We went to "Guu Garden" for after party. That was fun! We need to party more often! XD

Flavour of Glamour Fashion Show backstage by Epic Marble Project

For several years in my life, fashion show backstages were as normal as being a second home to me. The smell of hairsprays, the usual chaoes on makeup tables, and the habit of hanging clothes up facing left were all once again a reality for me today at the backstage of "Flavour of Glamour" fashion show at Tinseltown International Village. But the rush of nervousness was different for me this time, very different. For the first time in my life, I was my own show's director. And I lived to tell the tale.

With the miracle help from Daizo and Gigi from EMP, the show ran smoothly from beginning to finish. My backstage manager Stanley actually did his 100 runway walks on the side of the stage as he escorts EVERY model, tired and exhausted, but he still did his best to put a smile on his face. I dunno how he could have done that, but he did. I truly thought I had one of the most amazing evenings. Even sleeping just 2 hours on the eve of the show was worth it.

Next challenge: S.L.E.E.P. . . .. . definitely sleep . . ..zzzzzzzZZZZZZZ

love,

Kaila of EMP

Special thank you to :

beloved Dennis and Horace, Jon, the talented mc Ken and Eric, sound by Wilson @ excite, Joanna of Henderson, our sponsors and venders from the show, and most of all, Ms. Chris Lee, for your faith in us and my crew. XOXO
