hey there.. it will be an interesting ride. i don't know how we're going to survive on US$50 a day in the US of A but we have an idea to pimp tim off so we can buy ourselves a decent dinner wahahaha (don't tell him i said that!). we don't yet know which cities we're hitting, but i've only ever been to san francisco so it will all be quite new to me. i'm really looking forward to travelling with the other 4. we are quite different personality-wise but there is a similar thread running through us. as they say, same same but different :) whatever it is, watch the show people!!!

Perfect choice. Tim - hilarious. Bevis? lmao. All I'm thinking right now is his counter-part, Butthead. haha. Naw, it's spelled differently. He seems really genuine and extremely interesting. Love the new TJs. Can't wait to see such different characters interact on-screen in a foreign land. USA! Come to Minnesota! Land of 10,000 lakes! I'll show you around! Good luck with filming.
hallo boys and girls. it's jaime here... i was also waiting for the yahoo group to be set up ( i think carol has all our addresses) but seems like there's more happening in here! :)
jade, checked out your photos... very funny. it's amazing that it all happened over 1 night and 1 day. seemed like forever while we were waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
to everyone at the auditions, so glad to have met you. a group of 36 truly mad ppl from across the region killing time, getting pissed, and grooving to some hip hop together. it was a blast :)
fellow fame-seekers, those who i haven't sent the email to, pls. send me your addresses! oh and i thought we were going to have some sort of a mailing list?
I'LL GIMIK WITH YOU IN SPIRIT HEHEHE :) SERIOUSLY IF ANYONE DROPS BY SAIGON GIVE ME A HEADS-UP AND I'LL TAKE YOU AROUND! PLUS FOR ONLY $5 YOU CAN BUNK IN WITH ME! P.S. THE $5 INCLUDES LAUNDRY AND REGISTRATION WITH THE LOCAL POLICE :)

RE-POSTING THIS FROM MY PERSONAL BLOG WITH SOME MINOR UPDATES OF THANK YOUS...
I've come full circle. And the theory has been proven that lighting doesn't strike twice, but there was sure a lot of thunder lah! I'm happy that a Pinoy is on board, go KUYA ZACH do our country proud! And to my new friend LENA from Indonesia you are gonna be the hottest Asian chick on TV! Aussie awesome TIM, yes sweetie that scholarship will be waiting whenever you need it! BEVIS dude thank you for finding the 7-11! And sweet JAIME take your wings and fly! Have fun guys!
Room 740 will always be the best eh? VIVI and I thank you all for dropping by and making our pad the most visited and appreciated room at the Gallery Hotel! I just want to give big kisses to my Kabayans Tisha (email me ha!) Jade (You will get to go to Scotland someday!) Ish (You lucky girl in the taxi!); Franchesca and Roanne (wish you partied with us!).
SKY! Here's a big WINK for you! MIKE Harry you are one sweet mate! DAVID peace out and thanks for your apple story. CAROL and Z our food fest guides you give the word hospitality a new meaning. MARC say "Bo-Selecta!" WENDY I'm glad I got a chance to know you. DR. JUSTIN, thanks for the cab money. SIMONE you are so sweet and friendly good luck in your career! To everyone it was really great to know you all!
A big shout out to DTL staff and judges! You made our nerve wracking auditions bearable.
This trip has been quite the nostalgic as well as a hopeful reminder that things can only get better if you put yourself out there and just try your best. Of course its a bit "ahh... sayang! wish it was me lah" But hey you gotta admit the free trip (free food!) was worth every drama that came with it!
There are so many stories to tell for this past two days and I know exactly where to begin.. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE ME! In fact there were 38 of us all shapes, sizes, color, gender and ages (I wasn't the only 30ish year old yeah!). From all across the Pan Asia region I saw myself incarnated in so many forms that at first it was unnerving. So similar yet a few kinks here and there that made us different.
The party may have stopped for most of us today, but hopefully it will continue as the exchange of business cards and emails and promises of look me up when you are in my country will find fruition someday. If not... the mere memory of a meal shared, a drink toasted and a flash photo will be enough to say THIS REALLY HAPPENED!
This trip was the best and this contest is something worth talking about for a long time... and for sure every time I order aSingapore Sling it will remind me of the recipe each individual brought in during the past two days to make one hell of a hangover that will last a lifetime.

Who do you want to see on the show?!
My picks: 1. Ma Yung Shin - A certain refreshing naivete and sweetness. 2. Timothy Bloxsome - Earnest and... cute?! 3. Marc Dass - Someone you know you'll have fun with. 4. Octavia Martin - Enthusiastic and a natural on camera. 5. Melanie Casul - gung-ho. interesting take on her surroundings.

anyone from the DTL team here? are you guys gonna show the auditions on tv or here online as webisodes (much like the last 2 seasons)? let us know when they'll be watch-able, though the drama behind the scenes merits more of a soap opera rather than the ones on-cam... haha am i right, peeps?
zach! bevis! you guys online? i'm currently uploading our pics but it's taking forever...
i'm finally on this forum, have been posting in the US one but figured i'd probably have more fun here since i know y'all... damnit i cant believe i was thisclose to getting it... ZAAAACH! hahaha just kidding. you're the bomb man.
heeeey fellow singapore fling-ers, where are y'all?!
