Singapore's fan?

[graceloo]

Hey there,

I wonder who's out there.. Anyway..

I'm Grace Eleora, call me Grace for short or anything. I'm from a small tiny red dot on the world map; Singapore, if you can't guess.

Well, I started watching Ellen's show a few days ago and I'm pretty interested in it. She's the first woman who can make me sit down and watch a talk show; which I never do. The shows showed in Singapore comes in weird timings, once in early morning 3AM or 3.30AM and another at 5PM. So, if I want to catch both I got to stay up!

Plus, I'm a few months behind time! The show dated back to March here! It's like the movie "Lakehouse"!

So now, it's 3AM over here and about half hour time, Ellen's show gonna come on air..

Hope to share more.. :cool:

I stayed up till 330AM this morning and when Ellen's show came on... It was a repeat of that evening's show...

Gosh, I'm becoming a zombie this few days.. Sleeping at 4AM, waking up after noon!! Goodness it's my term break now!

I'm just curious to know, any asians here?

[elmo_ellen]

Hi Grace...

I'm from the same little island as you...I've to wake up at 7am to catch ellen 'live' on the webcam..haha..that's the next best alternative to catch her. I must say our TEDS coverage in S'pore not that bad...at least it's the Season 3. I have purchased a DVD recorder to record the TEDS as the timing is really weird...most of us are wither at work or at school...and I don't wish to wake up at 3am to watch the repeat.

Last but not least, welcome to the forum! :cool:

[graceloo]

Oh my, I am not a morning person! Gosh... and I have IMF meeting duty tomorrow and I just missed today's show! Gosh... weird..

At lease I not that alone here!

[elmo_ellen]

hiya..i'm not a morning person either..only managed to crawl out of the bed once to catch ellen 'live' on the webcam..hee.. :lol:

The IMF thing must have kept you busy..take care! :cool:

hi there,

i'm from singapore too. and i have unbearable problems accessing this site at home. it always says "Invalid IP used". it's so irritating when i can only read the forum and cannot post any replies. sometimes i can't even access it.

Finally, VIOLA! i managed to access using the computers in my school!

I'm singaporean too! hi GRACELOO. !!!

[hasidichyena]

I have a friend in Singapore too...Rita.I have 2 look up her street again,but she works for the Exxon-Mobil franchise there.That's a beautiful,modern country you got there right off the very s.e. tip of the asian continent at Malaysia.I'm guessing the economies clash big time when you hit that causeway! 8O 8O 8O 8O

[graceloo]

Yeah, sometimes I try to log on and the site will show "Invalid IP used"
then I'll try another day and sometimes I can log on. I guess it's server problem..

In times, I just cross my fingers, hoping that I can log on. I can log on better after midnight in Singapore.

From what I know, more and more people from this red dot is watching Ellen's show.. though we are like almost half a year behind time! I once had a great time telling a friend about Ellen's show..

[ruleruvzworld]

How did Singapore fare from the Boxer Day tsunami 2 years ago? :?

[graceloo]

What ya mean? We didn't get affected though, but like all the other countries, we send in aid and human help..

It's pretty fortunate of us not getting any natural disasters, the only bad thing is lightning and other then that we are pretty safe from natural disasters :-)

[genelee16]

but we have got the bad haze now.

[graceloo]

Yeah, really bad haze. We ere taking in burnt wood's smell... It's so blur, can't really see what's 200m ahead 8O

[dream48]

hey...
i'm frm singapore..
is ellen degeneres dvds for sale in spore?
:)

[graceloo]

Well... look on the bright side.. Singapore carry her books... but not her tapes or show.. Haha

You can book it online.. or try some really nice DVD stores and get them to place special orders.

[dream48]

ok then.. thanks still..

[dream48]

oh yes..graceloo..
how did u get all her dvds,tapes etc?
online or special order from some nice dvd stores?

:-)

[genelee16]

Well, if you are broke, and have no money to spare, you can try youtube, they have clips of the sitcom. and some of her stand-up. Some fan actually post her "here and now" HBO special on youtube. i think it is all of it. in parts.

Well, you are a fan and am dying to watch, with money to spare, get her dvds on ebay. most of them are all international sellers. i got mine from a US dealer. it takes about (1-2 weeks, business days) i got her stand-up collection for about S$35, including shipping. You need paypal though, and at least a credit card. Note: surf aruond ebay to make sure you get the best deals and read carefully about the shipping rates. When in doubt, please ask the seller.

If you are serious about watching, i suggest you get season 1,2,3 together so you can save on shipping. that will amount to about S$170 max, i think. you can check on ebay.

[dream48]

ahhh.. thanks genelee16 :lol:

its crazy isn't it..channel 5's repeat telecast of the ellen degeneres is like so early in the morning..
but if i am not able to catch the 5pm or 6pm show..i'll watch it still..haha..
are you working or studying genelee16?

:-D

[genelee16]

I'm actually taking my A-levsls this year. you?

i'm actually surprise and delighted that channel 5 is showing The Ellen Degeneres Show. I don't think Ellen is that well-known here in Singapore. Although i have read in some blocks that some young adults find her pretty hilarious.

At least mediacorp tries hard...

[graceloo]

OH man, I watched it twice in 3/4am in the morning! And the worse thing is I can't laugh out loud; the whole family is soundly asleep! Hey, if any Singapore fans manage to get hold of the sitcom; can I borrow?! Haha..

And is anyone of u dropping by kinokuniya; help me collect my books before someone take them away?? Haha :lol:

Usually, I will watch Ellen's show then followed by Oprah... NOW.. they removed Oprah's show and replaced it with Guiness World Records!! ARG!!! :(

[genelee16]

use a VHS recorder, you have?

[dream48]

I'm studying in a private sch..Mdis..
yeah i don't like the guiness bk of records show..so boring..i rather watch oprah.. =(
im afraid one day mediacorp will remove the ellen degeneres show to some other shows...NOOO!!
Which JC u're studying huh? :lol:

[dream48]

ahhh...i hope ellen will come to singapore to do a promo tour or something..that would be great man..
but highly impossible though..
hmmm... :-(

[dream48]

have anyone of you watched ellen's movie:If the walls could talk 2?
Is it nice? I just ordered it online but not really sure how's the story like..
:-)

[genelee16]

If these walls could talk 2 is a story about 3 lesbian coupls from different times, 1970s, 1980s and 2000. can't really remember the dates. In short, they are about the stories of lesbian couples, living, loving, loss...

erm, the third part has Ms degeneres in it. there's a sex scene in it. :)

[dream48]

ahhh.. thanks..
What's in ur collection of ellen huh?

[genelee16]

eh, i have her book "Love, Ellen." as i'm kind of poor, i get my friends to share with me what they have. i watched If these walls could talk 2 through my pal on the Internet. :)

As for the sitcoms, i watch youtube. planning to get them after my As.

[elmo_ellen]

hiya...

...youtube is definitely a good way to catch ellen's shows...i was hooked to it. I watched the L-word and some of ellen sitcoms there..enjoyed myself tremendously...

genelee...all the best for your 'A' Levels..the heat is on, isn't it..?

[graceloo]

Finally collected the books! Finish reading "the funny things is" and am now half way into "Love, Ellen". Boy, I couldn't stop reading.. I read it on the bus, on the train, in school, late at night..whatever free time I have just to know what the next page will say.. Haha..

All the best for your A level genelee16 :lol:

[genelee16]

that's good news.. hope you have fun reading it!

oh and thanks for the well wishes, elmo and grace... :)

[dream48]

good luck genelee16..
