♥ Princessa's Royal Diary ♥ - Royalty has never been so PINK!

Damn. I have NO INSPIRATION WHATSOEVER! Oh well.

Yes, I was late to RSVP and I was also LATE for the event itself. (Not that many noticed.) I know, I know... I shouldn't push the whole "I am royalty, therefore I can" too much. But you know how habits are like - there is NO WAY you can change it overnight.

Anyway.

I RSVP-ed for 3 people but only Priss and myself were able to make it - Dez kinda had an appointment at 5pm so she kinda had to "bail on us".

We arrived at the Screening Room roughly 7.20pm or so. We registered ourselves, took our "vitamins" and headed up to the 3rd floor to join "the rest".

(Apart from Andy I had no idea who else was going, not that it bothered me or anything like that.)

Hmmm...

Okay. I'm really not getting into the whole blogging mood. It's probably because the air-con isn't on, I still can't seem to write the Far Cry 2 game review, and I HAVE TO BE AT SITEX TO COVER THE EVENT TOMORROW! (The caps portion should be the major factor.)

Where was I? Oh yes...

Lesson no. 1 - NO ONE is EVER on time for events!

(Not that it's a bad thing or anything like that.)

For a second there, I was kinda worried that I might be intruding. Thank god, nothing was rolling yet when I arrived. In fact, the evening only commenced roughly 10 minutes after I've sat myself.

First on the agenda was the introduction to what's-his-name, someone from SOYJOY. After that was... Geez. Sorry, I give up, I can't remember any of their names. (A nice press release with the bio of the speakers would help right about now.)

Lets just skip that part.

WOOHOO!!! The much anticipated movie - SUPER SIZE ME! Bleh.

(Honesty is about to cause my doom right about now.)

In a nutshell, here's the overview (from Wikipedia) of what the movie is all about:

Super Size Me is a 2004 documentary film written, produced, directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker.

Spurlock's film follows a 30-day time period (February 2003) during which he subsists exclusively on food and items only purchased from McDonald's.

The film documents this lifestyle's drastic effects on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being, and explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit.

During the filming, Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, sampling every item on the chain's menu at least once. He also super sized his meal every time he was asked.

Spurlock consumed an average of 20.92 megajoules or 5,000 kcal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment. As a result, the then-32-year-old Spurlock gained 24.5 lbs. (11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and liver damage. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight he gained.

If you're just tooo lazy to read all that, here's a movie trailer I got from YouTube:

(I may or may not review this movie. It is kind ancient already. If I do review it, I'll update a link here. Even if I do, it's probably NOT going to be anytime soon. Hurhur.)

After the movie the lights went back on for a while and off the moment the next speaker starting presenting. (I can't remember a single name other than Brian actually.)

*Blah, blah, blah*

In conclusion, it's all about NOT BEING FAT and (duh) SOYJOY!

(I am 100% sure I saw this on TV sometime ago... Hmmm...)

As much as I would love to say SOYJOY is great, it's the best... I'd seriously be LYING.

There is NO WAY I would EVER replace a chocolate bars for SOYJOY, based on taste that is. In fact, I kinda told Priss that I would rather DIE then eat a bar of that.

However, my resistance against it was kinda reduce after a short chat with Brian (btw, it's the Brian Koh from Ogilvy and not TSF) and the lady who claimed that she ate 8 meals a day and weighed 70kg during her Uni. days. (8 meals is just outrageous! Plus, she is slim.)

To show my "support" I had it for breakfast and lunch! (There's kinda a reason behind that but I'm not gonna reveal it. ;x)

Anyway.

I would like to share more about SOYJOY, but I'm clearly not the health expert here.

I did try my best to pay attention to the "moral of the story" (more like information and facts actually) last evening, but... Erm... Well, as you can see, I can't even remember any of the speakers' name so I guess that kinda explains a lot.

Tata now. I gotta give Priss a lift back home.

Thank you SOYJOY (and of course Ogilvy), I like the name tag

and the goodie bag!

Hurhur.

PS: Did I mention that the movie was really disturbing? zZZ... I am not going to eat McDonald's for a while.

PPS: There are photos, I'll plug them in soon!

PPPS: To whom it may concern, you can find my set of photos (not exactly the full-full set) in Facebook.
