A few more photos from the red carpet that has just ended. One Republic stopped and stared. Kuching's very own Nicholas Teo. So ironic. Fifteen years ago, if I wanted to see Nicholas Teo, all I gotta do is walk across the next classroom. Now if I want to see Nicholas Teo, I have to squeeze among the press to get to the red carpet. Stefanie Sun, nominated for favourite Singapore artiste. Karen Mok and Jared Leto, the two hosts for the evening. 6:00pm - Nicole Scherzinger signing an autograph for me. And here's her autograph!

I'm a little upset because I am denied access to the actual awards show. I only managed to get access to the red carpet and photo room, which on the bright side, is better than nothing I guess. Caught a glimpse of OneRepublic rehearsing "Stop And Stare" in the Arena of Stars. Security promptly chased me out 2 minutes later. 2:34pm - The media and mosh-pitters are gathering right now to collect their passes. JoyceTheFairy, Jason Goh, Michael Yip and Liang are here as well. The mosh pitters are practising their cheering, screaming their lungs out. Rumour has it that there was a mass walkout staged by the local media during the press conference yesterday due to unfair treatment by the organisers. 1:24pm - I'm here at Genting to attend the MTV Asia Awards 2008. I will be trying something new tonight. During the MTV Asia Awards, I will be blogging LIVE from the scene. This is how my equipment is hooked up for the job: the HP Mini connected to the HTC Touch Diamond, accessing the world wide web with Maxis 3G. Beginning 6pm tonight, kennysia.com will be updated regularly with photos from the scene and winner announcements every few minutes. It is my first attempt at live blogging. If all goes well, you'll be reading exclusive live coverage on what is going on at the awards ceremony, right here on kennysia.com, before they're even being published anywhere else. This is not the end of my entry. Check back regularly for updates later. :)
