Goodbye, blogspot;
hello, wordpress :)

Dirty little...

2009-11-02T05:51:00.000-08:00

Howdy!

(I love how wordpress greets me every time I log in :)

It’s not an ordinary, “Hello, Rachel!”

It’s HOWDY!

I feel spesh-shall…

So I went for a paintball game with a few friends of mine last weekend…

My friend drove to some semi-jungle, semi-plantation area in a really ulu place!!

So we geared up, with our markers and 500 neon orange pellets each :D

That’s HALF A THOUSAND NEON ORANGE PELLETS PER PERSON.

:D :D :D

Nyarhahahhaha…

So we went into a jungle scenario. Trees and bushes around…

And let me show you in a diagram, the ratio of people to mosquitoes.

Yep.

No really.

Yes.

I wore long jeans and a really, really long sleeved top.

They latched onto my hands and face.

I was in a face mask to protect me from the flying paintballs, but that didn’t stop them killer mozzies.

The game’s objective was to stay ‘alive’ (ie: not hit by a paintball).

But I really think the winners for the day are the mosquitoes.

*clap clap*

Paintball was…fun la.

A new experience.

Definitely not my thing.

I’d rather be…doing other things :P

Hahaha…

Maybe it was just the jungle.

I don’t like jungles much; I hate the mud, the potential thorns, bugs, creepy crawlies, insects, I hate it hate it hate it.

My poor, poor shoes.

I actually felt bad for them. Lol.

I tell you, I never appreciated tiled floors until I went jungle trekking.
HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

I sound like some bimbo, but it’s the truth.

Make me to choose between nature and technology and I will :D

I love the sound of my heeled shoes clicking away on them shiny tiled floors.

Not my sneakers squishing and slipping through the muddy slopes.

Mother Nature will now slap me with her tree branches.

But I’ll take that hit for the comfort of leveled grounds.

Mwahahhahaha.

So after sweating it out at paintball, I rushed off to the All American Rejects who were playing live at the Bukit Jalil carpark.

While waiting for the gates to open, in the crowd, I felt something fall on my hair…

Thinking it was some flyaway leaf getting trapped in my massive mess of mane…I combed through my hair with my fingers.

Suddenly.

SUDDENLY.

A sensation I’ve never felt before.

A vibrating-like buzz on my palm.

A sharp burst of pain.

And my waterworks started.

All of a sudden, really, I started crying.

SOME FRIGGIN THINGGGG STUNG ME!!

And it left its stinger on my palm! :( :( :(

Hurt like hell.

See?

Mother Nature struck back at me, fast.

Lol.

Damnnnn dumb wei.

Some new found friends I made before the stinging episode helped me out :)

MAIIIII HERO :) :) :)

Hahah…

By now, I’m too lazy to type any further…

All in all, the Rejects were nice…

The lead singer was really flamboyant.

He came out with a Red Indian feathered headgear in the spirit of dressing up for Halloween…

And he’s so skinny…
And he walked around with that very familiar swagger…

And his voice being so distinct from other musicians…

Absolutely reminded me of…

The great Steven Tyler of Aerosmith :)

Anyhoo…

Tyson Ritter of AAR went all orgasmic on stage, went down on his knees and licked the guitarist’s guitar.

Yep.. I think he took a lil something before the show started :P

But yay!

Swing Swing!

Dirty Little Secret!! (“I wanna hear y’all say “Dirty!”“)

Gives You Hell!!

Greaaaaat night :)

Say Auf Wiedersehn to your Nazi balls!!

2009-10-26T09:56:00.000-07:00

I finalllllly got to watch the movie I’ve been waiting to watch for about two months now :D

It was absolutely the best two hours of the Monday :)

I mean, sure the cinema was freezing and I was shivering… And I reallllly needed to use the ladies…

Ngam ngam at the very kan cheong moments!

Hahaha…Di saat-saat yang genting, Nature memanggil…

But it was amazing.

I loved how when the movie started, the opening credits rolled in like movies in the olden era :)

You know, all-black screen, with them old font types in glaring white…

And Brad Pitt! Fuhhh…

His character’s yummy Southern drawllllllll… I could just listen to him talk all day…all night… And again… :)

And the leading actress, I thought she was gorgeous!

Right right right?

She looked so good on film!

Her face is so beautifully-sculpted, and her eyes?

It can melt diamonds.

Eli Roth is another yummy basterd…

Although here he looks somewhat werewolf-ish, his dark brows and deep set eyes were oh-so-alluring on screen ;)

So…

The Basterds are a group of Anti-Nazis wanting to bash the life outta every Nazi they lay their eyes on.

Absolutely fictitious, not a movie you’d want to be basing your history knowledge on…

If you’ve watched Valkyrie, the one starring Tom Cruise… (Another movie where the whooole plot was to kill The Fuhrer, Hitler)… Then maybe you can learn some history there la, I don’t know…

But Basterds were a riot. Hilarious moments here and there and we finally get to watch sexy werewolf man shoot the face off Hitler :D

Literally, just-take-the-big-ass-gun-and-shoot-round-after-round-after-round-at-Hitler.

While he and his fellow bangsawan were desperately trying to escape a locked theatre.

Goooooooooood schtuff.

They had lots of nice brutal scenes I’m sure, but of course, since I watched in the cinema…they were all censored for the wellbeing of my mental health.

I’m not complaining much though, ‘cos for the scenes they didn’t censor, I still felt grossed out.

And even though they censored the scenes, you’d know what’ll happen and you can imagine it. That’s ENOUGH.

Brr…

BRILLIANT.

Quentin Tarantino.

BRILLLLLIANT.

And on a completely different matter…

Check this ad out :D

Alamakkk... EPIC FAIL mannnn this advertisement..

Absolutely LOL.

Gotcha!

2009-10-22T07:57:00.000-07:00

Tha’s me…

Sniffle sniffle…

The whole package, fever, sore throat and the cold.

HOW FUN!!

I didn’t take the day off work cos there were things to do…

So I took some pills and in the office, I just couldn’t tahan..

I FELL ASLEEP ON THE TABLE.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHA.

Oh well.

I’mma suck it up.

Take more pills.

I tell youuu…Cold medicine is grrreat.

Sometimes, I swear my head is detached, floating a few inches above :D

Anyway, one day, I was at home, sleeping next to the laptop from work la…

Too tired from looking at financial statements…

When I woke up, I decided to Facebook a bit…

Then SHYYYYYYTES.

Kena virus.

OMGHOLYEFFINHELLNOWHYWHYWHYMUSTTHISHAPPENTOME??!!!

EVERYTHING CAN BE LOSSSST!!!!!!!!!!!

…

Waitaminute.

I didn’t bring the office laptop home today…

Cheh.

LOL.

I KNEW I was dreaming, can you believe that??

For a few seconds, I was just waiting to wake up from the dream.

When I woke up, I was a bit dazed…

Then I started looking around frantically, confirming the fact that it was just a dream…

Hahaha…

My mind failed to trick itself.

Weird, huh…

Watchu gonna do when they come for you...

2009-10-13T12:02:00.000-07:00

Why do we love bad boys so much??

Okay. I'm sorry, my hormones are on a raging blaze right now.

It's a Tuesday night...

No, wrong, sorry, it's a Wednesday morning.

2.31 am.

Yes, and I've just watched Catch Me If You Can, an old movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio when he was just a lil boy... Much like Zac Efron in High School Musical today.

I think Leo was the Zac Efron of the '90s.

No, no, no... lemme rephrase that.

Zac Efron is this decade's Leonardo DiCaprio.

I mean, no one can beat his Titanic gig... ;)

So!

Catch Me If You Can...

Wow.

A story about a kid, barely adult, going around the country called America, forging cheques (They spell it "checks") by forging his identity...

He gets away playing a teacher, a pilot, a doctor, a lawyer... And cashing in his payroll checks. Whenever he wants. Because he manufactures his own checks.

Whaaaaaaaaaat a genius.

And I can't help but to just notice how girls willingly give their all to him.

Like how all girls just willingly fall into the arms of other Hollywood-created-bad-boys.

And the girls actually STAND by these men even when they find out they're actually crooks.

Sexy crooks.

WHY?

Why do we fall for these men?

Rawrrrr.

It's not about the looks... (Well, just as long as you're not butt-ugly la..)

It's not about what degree you've got from whichever Ivy League university you're from..

It's not about the money (It's how you get it, in this case :P)

I reallllllly think... That it's about the attitude.

Like how John Dillinger (played to perfection by Johnny Depp in Public Enemies) managed to convince the love of his life, Billie to elope after just one date.

(One date, right? About there la...)

So Billie was hesitant and all, and then she said something about how she doesn't even KNOW him...

And he said...

"I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars... and you. What else you need to know?"

~~Hellllllllllllll-lo, Johnnnneh.~~

I would've dropped whatever I was doing and let him take me wherever the hell he wanted to do whatever he wanted.

So yeah, it's all about that cocky yet charming confidence that kinda turns me on...I think.

(Is that even possible? Cocky yet charming yet confident? Ahahaha. Sorry. Hormones :P)

Special mentions :

Jason Statham in The Transporter 3...

Bad-ass to the bone. Something about a guy who can fight off 10 armed dudes and still look crease-free in his crisp, white shirt ;)

Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven.

I love movies like these. Totally smart, though they're not possible for you to try out in real life... But it's fun :D

Awshum.

2009-10-07T09:46:00.000-07:00

Something I copied and pasted from my other blog...

http://fridaycopacabana.wordpress.com/

Enjoy :)

I discovered this site by chance, after a friend of mine told me to describe the definition of “awesome”.

http://1000awesomethings.com/

And it was pretty darn awesome, I gotta say… :)

So I’ve come up with my own list of Awe-shums..

Here they are!

1. Microsoft Excel keyboard shortcuts

Okay, it may be so geek-ish, but cmonnn. Learning new shortcuts when you see your friend’s fingers flying across the keyboard and magic happening on the monitor? You get excited too ;)

2. The radio plays a song you were thinking of earlier on

Yes, you ARE psychic and you CAN make the deejay play your song just by thinking about it.

3. Listening to a song that you’ve associated with someone and suddenly your phone rings and a text message comes in from that someone.

And yes, that someone must’ve been psychic too.

4. Pins and needles

The incredibly painful but pleasurable moment when you wake up and lift your head off your arm… And find that it’s completely numb.

Or when you’ve sat down for too long on your leg, cutting off blood flow temporarily until it gets numb…

You knowwwww… The feeling after the numbness wears off. And it feels like millions of ants are attacking you there. The feeling where if you move your limb just a liiiiiiittle bit, it’ll hurt like hell. And if you don’t move, it’ll still hurt like hell.

But at the same time, for some weird, kinky reason, it feels oh so good :)

5. Arriving at the LRT platform juuuust as the train rolls in.

Or even better, stepping in the train as the doors shut right behind you. :D

And you’ll know it’s gonna be a good day :)

6. Beating the computer at checkers

Cos you’re a genius!

7. The smell of just-snuffed-out matches

Like some people like smelling marker pens and petrol… Just burnt out matches are great! I used to always be the one striking the match in the Chemistry lab for group experiments… :D And I would always drift off from the actual experiment and strike up a few more matchsticks. :D Oops.

It smells so woody and heavy, it makes me smile :)

8. Rollercoasters

Wooo~~~

The jumpiness while standing in the queue, watching the people on flail their arms and scream, listening to the creak of the rails as the coasters fly by on top of the anxious crowd in the queue.

The jumpiness you get when you know you’re up next.

The jumpiness as you walk into your train, reach out for the safety harness and reach out for more harness and realising that there is none left and that is all there is to the miserable safety harness holding you back when the coaster goes upside down inside out and around.

The restrained jumpiness you get as the coaster starts moving slowly for the first few seconds, as if mocking you.

The thrill as it gains more speed.

The holycrapohmygodwhydidIgetonthisfrigginmachineohmaigadARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~

And then you run outta breath and can’t get another one in so you continue screaming silently.

Woooo~~~ I wanna get on one riiiiight now, baby, let’s go ;)

Post-its so chic

2009-10-04T07:47:00.000-07:00

A zebra-printed thing!!!

Well actually, it's meant to be a hairband...

But whatever la...It is AW-SHUMM!!

I love it love it love it.

Everytime I look at it, I feel so happy.

Just makes me smile.

I don't know why, don't ask me why.

Zebra prints just make me smile.

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Spunkayhhh!

2009-10-03T00:17:00.000-07:00

So...

I went to get my hair cut!

And I walked in without knowing what I wanted...

I just literally gave my head to my trusted hair stylist, and told her...

"Lei zhung yee lah" : )

Up to you lah : )

Hahahha, then she started showing me pictures from magazines so I could have an idea...

So from this...

It became...

...this.

(Excuse the camwhore moments.

I just realised I haven't done that in a while :P )

My hair is straight!!

It is friggin straight!! :D

Normally my hair's like this crazy, messy, I-just-got-outta-bed kinda hair...

Or the I-was-up-to-somethin-naughty kinda hair ;)

But no, the straightness is temporary.

It'll be back to normal tomorrow

Well anyyyyyway...

I love the new shortness of it all :D

Spunkayhhh!

Have a grrrrrrrrreat weekend, everybody!

Love you all :)

Hot & cold..

2009-10-02T11:12:00.000-07:00

I am...

...an utter mess of emotions.

I have...

...too much time to idle away...and too much time to think up nonsense.

Do I...

...or do I not?

Should I...

...or should I not??

YES.

I WANT TO.

But no.

I know I'll just end up like --> :(

Yes.

You must be wondering what the hell I'm typing about.

I'm just typing away my frustration.

I want to just pen down my feelings and pour everything out.

But I don't want to risk anyone taking a hold of that piece of that paper.

That's just dumb.

So what do I do?

Subject my dear beloved readers to this shyte.

This frust-driven post that has been filtered for my own...errh...my own good.

And if you're wondering what's been bothering me,

no I'm not gonna be revealing it.

And if you're wondering if you could find me online on MSN to ask me (should you actually bother), I'll save you your breath, no I'm not gonna tell ya.

:'(

Seriously, I think I have too much time to think about all these nonsense.

That I somehow delusionize myself to believing it.

I must ask my senior for more workload.

Cut the time for me to let my thoughts run and fly and swim.

I'm just...

...confused.

ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

If I were a song now,

I'd be the noisiest, loudest, emo-est song you'd ever hear.

And after hearing it, you also will be a lil confused.

Hee.

:)

P-p-p-party everyday!!

2009-09-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

A celebration of 250 years for that dude.

That dude responsible for that mug of foamy, bitter drink people love so much.

That dude responsible for drunken bar brawls. (Assuming people get drunk on beer easily)

That dude.

That one man.

Arthur Guinness.

*so handsome...*

If he were alive today, he would've turned a quarter of a MILLENIUM old!

So what did the world do?

Throw him a sweet sixteen party across the world le...

And it soooo happens that they chose KL as the Asian party place.

After allllllllll the controversy with who can enter and who can't and whatnot...

There we are, on the drained-out surf pool of Sunway Lagoon.

They didn't even check for our ID, so kelam-kabut their ticketing.

Went in with Her Royal Hotness Rueyyy :)

And got our tickets from the Shazzzz!!! (mwah!mwah!! You're the best :) :)

And bumped into Sandy while we were looking for the right Lagoon entrance :P

Went in there, and wow, I have to say...

Not bad for the free standing tickets! We were quite up close to the stage...

And no, no free flow...

Didn't even SEE a Guinness in near sight.

What kinda celebration izzit la?? Tak tau nak throw party...

Well, it's not like I drink... I was just there for the Peas :D

And they made us wait two and a half bloody hours for them!!

It kicked off at 8pm, with some Malaysian artistes rapping in Cantonese...

Then Reshmonu and Joe Flizzow... Okei la tuu...

Nyehhh. Hip hop and R&B concerts aren't much fun actually :(

Then some Taiwanese artistes took the stage.

Ohhhhhhh.
Maiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
GADDDDDDDD.

It was plainnnnn torturrrrrrrrrrre.

At that point, we were all so bored, and started chatting with everyone else around us.

EVERYONE was waiting for the Peas.

And by then, we were just counting off the songs and artistes we had to endure til the Peas came
on.

Assumed each kuchirek artiste had a slot of 3 songs to sing, so should be okay la...

But OMGWTHWTFFFF.

ONE friggin' song can take SOOOOOOO friggin' long.

Gila

Cekik darah.

Bunuh diri.

All they did was syok sendiri on stage while we booed them off by chanting for BEP.

It was the most horrible thing you can put someone through.

But we survived :)

And the Black Eyed Peas took the stage :) :) :)

And it was oh so goooooood.

They also syok sendiri a bit la, especially when Will.I.Am did his DJ-stint, sampling songs from
Nirvana, MJ, Timbaland, Kanye, etc etc etc...

But they did their thing, their hits, Where Is The Love, Pump It, Let's Get Retarded and all...

But we all knew why we were there for.

Boom Boom Pow, baby...

And then it alllllll ended perfectly with what I thought was the best of the night.

I Gotta Feelin... :D :D :D

~wooo~hooo~~

P-p-p-p-party everyday!!

Ah man.

TO ARTHUR!

Right.

You better pray he forgives the organisers for bringing in them filler acts!!

:P

Wednesday..Thursday..Saturday...

2009-09-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

Skandal terbaru!

This is me, cheating on Blogger with Wordpress.

Ohhhhhhh yea, baby, mmm........

Wordpress is so good.

;)

http://fridaycopacabana.wordpress.com/

Classes have started again!

Somewhat.

Anyway, for the past two weeks, I've been hit with this unexplained phenomenon.

I seem to miss out one friggin day of the week!

As in, it could be Thursday, and I'd be happily thinking it's Wednesday...

And it's not until my friends start planning for Friday night and the weekends that I realise it's Thursday.

When they start talking about their Friday night plans...and frequently using the word "tomorrow" in the conversation...

Waaaaitaminute.

Friday? Tomorrow?

Aw, shucksss.

I thought I had two days more to start studying for the test on Saturday, but erh...

Heh. =D

I feel like I've been robbed of one day.

And it happened twice already this month.

:(

Grrr!!!!!

2009-08-31T06:17:00.001-07:00

I thought I'd share a few more favorites of mine from the 15 Malaysia short films website :)

This one's really gonna make you go "Grrrrr..."

House, by Linus Chung.

Told you.

Heart-wrenching; and it just makes you wanna hit the stupid boys in their heads, dontcha think so?

The next one's a little silly, comical and nonsensical, but just relax and let it make you laugh :)
(Especially the last part where the guy next to Adibah depicts the stereotypical Malaysian races. Admit it, it's funny :P)

Halal, by Liew Seng Tat

1 daging, 1 Malaysia.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia :)

Despite all our complaints about the country...and how things are done...

I really do believe it is a nice place to stay in.

Mostly because of the food :P

And my family and friends I love so dearly.

And the fact that we can all live in peace if we don't do anything stupid.

:)

Anyway, I spent the weekends and today with my colleagues on a trip...

OMG it's just so different seeing everyone in t-shirts and shorts.

And not sober.

Especially the higher-uppers :P

Nyehehehehhee.....

15 Malaysia

2009-08-23T04:38:00.000-07:00

The 15 short stories by 15 Malaysian directors.

The one by Yasmin Ahmad, Chocolate.

Quite deep. You have to watch it again.

At least twice.

Catch the emotions that fleet by so quickly.

The mum, so geniusly representing a part of the rakyat all by her words and the tone of her voice.

And the guy, who seemed soft-hearted and wanted to sell the schoolgirl the chocolate even though she was five cents short, until his mum yelled at him for "talking to the Malay girl" and he hardened up.

Tak cukup, tak payah belilah!

And how he frustratedly slams the chocolate down on the counter.

Too late, she left.

What that all reflects in our country, it's all up to you to decipher and interpret.

Genius.
Bless you, Yasmin Ahmad.

(Anyone notices how cute the guy is? :)

The one by Ho Yuhang, Potong Saga.

Isn't that the guy who sang that Negarakuku song??

I think so. Not sure.

There are 13 more short films about to be released soon, and I can't wait to watch em all :)

Check them out here :
http://15malaysia.com/

Gimme yer number, I wanna see ya later...

2009-08-16T03:40:00.000-07:00

Standing in the rain: Catching a cold later on

Getting hit by the crazy, sweaty rempits over-moshing: Ouch everywhere

Rising cases of H1N1: Being part of the statistics

Two bottles of water: RM10.

Watching Hoobastank play right in front of your eyes: Priceless.

For everything else, there's no Mastercard and I sure am feeling the aches in every fibre of muscle I have in me.

MTV World Stage.

We stood there since 3pm, allllll the way to near midnight.

To entertain the people waiting since...I don't know when...

They put this local singer on stage, I forgot his name, but he practically sang his song to the moves of the great MJ.

MJ's moves are great, but should you really follow them all to a T when you're trying to become an artiste of your own? :P

Cute moves though :)

When it started off, my friends and I were up front, closest to the stage when these few dudes started going crazy for Estranged. (seriously??)

Lol, their music's good, and their drummer's eyes were demonic red, but we(the people standing next to them crazy kids) think they came after snorting some coke or taking something illegal.

THE GUY'S T-SHIRT WAS LITERALLY SOAKED WITH HIS OWN SWEAT. EW.

I bet if you wrung that t-shirt, you could douse a whole forest fire.

And I was standing right next to him.

And he wouldn't back off.

And I wouldn't either.

F' off, I'm not giving up my spot til Doug Robb finishes.

Then Boys Like Girls performed! Wow, the lead was kinda efffeminate.. Haha.

Not that I have anything against girly guys, but I could never have thought so just by listening to their music.

They played The Great Escape! :) :)

I love that juvy song.

The effing rempit(complete with the tight pants and the thick-rimmed glasses and his other similiar friends) was still sweating next to me.

Halfway through Boys Like Girls, I gladly let the crowd push me away from that sweating entity.

Then someone from the band threw their wattle bottle at the crowd, the bottle landed right on top of my friend and I, we got totally drenched! And someone else took the bottle away.

:P

Hahahah, and they threw their setlist, I got it, kept it, went to the mamak later on and left it there... :P

After BLG, I think it was Raygun! :)

I've never heard of them before that night, but wow.

They are GOOD.

I got this whole Rolling Stones vibe from them.

Even the vocalist had this Keith Richards/Mick Jagger swagger!!

And their songs are sooooo catchy, you just gotta listen to them!

*See you later, see you later, I wanna see you later..
Gimme your number, I wanna see you later..."

*runs out to get ten of their albums*

So after that, some artistes performed and there was a quick break. I'm not sure which one came first.

Pixielott, methinks.

But what an odd artiste line up!

It was all rock, and suddenly there was a pop singer, Pixielott.

So...weird.

It's almost like throwing Celine Dion into a rock fest.

I quote a friend of mine, "Yes, except Celine can actually sing"

Hee.

All Pixielott did was fluff her pretty blonde hair around.

(She did have nice hair :)

THENNN...

THENNNNNNNNNNNNN..................................

Finally.

Hoobastank :)

(My first ever rock gig, Hoobastank live in Malaysia 2004. Remember that, Tash?? Of course you do :P hehehee)

And my friend offered to put me on his shoulder so I could get a better view! Woo!!!

(I was like, you sure ah?? I'm damn heavy!!)

But it was Hoobastank. YES!

Nyarhahahahha...

Doug Robb!

Rockstars can look so ugly when their faces are scrunged up while shouting that big note, but boy is that sexy or what??? :D

Yummehhh.....

He was in a crisp, white shirt and a black tie.

And then he got the crowd jumpin to Crawlin In the Dark...

Singing along to the Ghostbusters theme song...

(to which he said "YOU GUYS ARE RIDICULOUS" :D )

And to The Reason :)

I wish they played more.

They left.

Come back again!

And after that, err...got la, some other bands.

The All-American Rejects were fun, they played Swing Swing!! :D

And Kasabian, I've never heard of them before either, they were alright.

I kinda thought Raygun was better :D Very catchy songs.

And by the end of the night, I was spent.

Done for.

But wheeee :D

And I didn't take any pictures for the night.

I have no idea why.

Hooba-hooba!

2009-08-14T09:23:00.000-07:00

Wow.

What a tiring week it's been.

Wake up at 6.30am.
LRT.
Sleep in between stations.
Office at 7.30am.
Client's office at 9am.
Work non-stop, save for lunch.
Work.
Work work.
Leave the client's at 8.30pm(can drag on til 9.30pm XD )
Sometimes, back to the office for a lil more work.
Home, dinner, fb, sleep.

Repeat cycle.

And there seems to be more work than ever?

How is that possible??

(Dumb question.)

I think now, I have the worst zombie-eyes a girl could ever have :(

ANYWAY...

I was talking to this marketing personnel at the client's office one day; going through the usual "So how long have you been working here?" kinda questions...

And I realised I didn't want the client side to know my real age :S

What if they doubt my credibility/qualification/etc etc???

I mean, it's like how you'd have second thoughts about a college kid performing surgery on you, y'know??

"So how long have you been in audit?"

"Hmm..."
*cracks my head hard to think of an answer*
"What do you think?"

(OMG What a dumb response. Lol.)

"3 years?"

"WAHHHH, do I look that old??"

"A year?"

LOL.

"Around there lo.."

(I lied. I've only been doing it for less than 6 months.)

And there was more talk until the conversation finally led to THE question.

"Ohh... So how old are you??"

*again, I cracked my head to think of something*

"Hehe, you think leh?"

"Wahhh, again ah... Erm, since you said you had a year working experience, I'd say, 23?"

"No laa.."

"21?"

"Around there lo..."

:P

AHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

This is sad.

I'm eighteen, I'M EIGHTEEN!

Yes, now you can totally recoil back and realise I'm a kid :)

But boy oh boy, I just realised the power of smiling at people.

No matter how hostile or cold they are to you, just smile at them, speak to them at a ridiculously nice manner and voila, you get what you want :D

And now apparently, when I get really exhausted from the work at the end of the day, I start smiling and laughing for no reason.

My friend thinks I'm nuts because at 8.30pm we were all really tired and he saw me smiling.

"Eh why do you look so happy to be working this late?"

And I just LOL-ed.

I don't have a clue why I looked like it.

I think my bodily systems have gone haywire.

Time for a vacation...!

Time for the MTV WORLD STAGE gig, in 15 HOURS!

:D

Hooba-hooba!!

:D

2009-07-29T09:43:00.000-07:00

Many of my colleagues asked me the same questions...

Not just my colleagues actually, lots of my friends and relatives give the same reaction and ask the same questions about me starting work now.

"Aren't you a little too young?"

Why ah... Feeling your age creeping up on you already? Hee :P

"Working ah?? Missing out on your college life lor???"

Well, yes and no.
See, back when I was studying full time, I paid the college a ridiculous amount of tuition fees so I could fall asleep in the (uncomfortable) lecture theatres.

Really, I got bored of learning that a way.

So now I'm just learning this a way :)

And I still go to classes in the same college. Except I don't pay anything :D

And I get paid to study. Ahahahahhahaha.

"You're 18 wor... Supposed to be having fun with your friends wor..."

Who says I'm not having fun??

"Audit ah?? Work every day and night wan leh... Summore working and studying... No life edi la?"

I admit, the working hours are a little crazy to some, but that's life, everyone. I'm not complaining.

Yet.

XD

It's weird, really.

I've been working late for the past few days now, and I am still fine.

Cheerful, even :)

Even though two hours ago my laptop wentcrazysottsottdeiandhangedandIdidn'tfriggingsavemytwohoursworthofwork...

I was fine.

Still am.

I have been going to bed at 2am and waking up at 6.30am to go to work.

And it goes on the whole day til 2am and cycle repeats.

Three days now.

I'm still very surprisingly fine.

I suspect...

I suspect it's one of those times where I spend so much energy for a few days and crash down like crazy the following week.

Like a sugar rush/coffee high and after a few hours, you'd feel so spent and miserable.

:(

Oh no.

Happy days :)

2009-07-22T07:40:00.000-07:00

Politics, rempits and shaky education...

Really, the only saving grace of Msia is the fact that we have durians.

YUM.

Ehhhneeway...

I passed my AA paper!

OMG.

I passed.

When I found out I passed, I cried.

I really thought I was done for this round, but I made it!
What luck stuck with me, I don't know, but thank youuuuuu!!!!!!!

I was so close to the passing mark, that I just cried, I have no idea why.

I love my boyfriend, who's always there for me to cry on :)
And whose shirt becomes my hanky. Hehehe...

Oh I love you, hunny :)

I can't wait for classes to start!

Days off work, where we just lepak in college and in the mall and in the mamak. :D

I miss those.

On a completely different topic now,

Happy 18th, Tashie!!

AIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're eighteen, baby!

I hope you have a great day, and if you're working today, I hope you get ridiculously large tips ;)

So you can belanje me when you get yr bum back here ;)

<3 ya! :)

The people

2009-07-07T08:29:00.000-07:00

It's July.
Never really liked the month of June and July...
Because they're the months with no/little holidays in them.

And now I'm feeling it more than ever in the office.

I can't even tell which or when the next public holiday is coming...

Isn't a Sultan's birthday due sometime soon???
Grrr...

It's July!

I've been working for about...
...four months now :)

I have to say, I LOVE IT.
I love it, love it, love it.

The people here are great.
They totally make my day.

Because there's too many...
...Here's a gist of the people I saw in the office today.

Ah Ry
My gossip girlfriend.
Makes my 8am mornings feel so much better :)
Especially when we go "OMG" over Tranny and No. 27 ;)
And laugh like idiots when we discovered that people actually made the phrase "work done" into a word.

Stell
My lunchmate, came in the same day I did :D
We love our morning Nescafes... "Stellabucks"

Brain
Greets me every morning over MSN Msgr
Ever so patient whenever I ask him dumb "DUH" questions... :D

Zen
My damn smart classmate who likes to blackmail Ah Ry just to get her all worked up.
Whom also threatened to swap his schedule with mine.
Don't you dare...

Mr L
He's old...
Very old...
But believes himself to be 18, I think.
Mid-life crisis :P
Incapable of understanding the word "paiseh" as well :P Hehee..

Mc
A walking Red Box for Hokkien songs...
Always, always makes everyone laugh.
Always, always hungry :P

Sh
He will finish your M&Ms. :D

All the other people are mostly nice people. Lol.

Err...The work comes in somewhere in between :P

Have yet to encounter any horror stories from the working world yet...
Don't want to, but they say it is unavoidable.

And this Friday, will be going out for after-work drinks with the AA people!

Chewahhh... "After-work" drinks.
Hehehe...

Do you remember the time, when we fell in love?

2009-06-28T09:28:00.000-07:00

When I heard the news over the radio at 7am, I was in shock.

Michael's gone.

The King of Pop.

And right after the news, they played Remember The Time.

A few tears rolled down my cheeks.

I have no idea why I was so "affected" by the news.

It's not like I know him personally...
But it did affect me.

I grew up listening to him. My sister and I did, thanks to my dad's influence...

We'd watch a VCD of his greatest hits together.

Imitate the awesomecool dance move from Smooth Criminal...
You know, that move where he and a few dancers would lean ridiculously to the front and slowly get back to balance??
Yeah, we face-slammed the couch a couple of times trying to "practise" that move.

And then Thriller comes on, and we'd use the couch pillows to hide behind every time the werewolf chased the woman.

And then The Earth Song's video would make me cry.

In short, Michael's music is the type of music where, if I hear it on the radio, I'd stop whatever I'm doing just to enjoy it :)

(He was my first celebrity crush. Lol. I know, a bit weird, but I loved the suits and the bad-ass dance in Smooth Criminal)

And listening to his songs, when you KNOW he's gone, is just weird. A different feeling to it.

I don't know. Maybe it's just the newness of the news that freaks me out. I'm listening to the song when I knowwwww his body is lying cold somewhere. Brr...

Anyway, I hope he doesn't feel any more pain, wherever he is now.

A man who gave such a beautiful gift to the world (in the form of platinum-selling records) should not have been shunned away to his not-so-nice state of living after the legal cases against him.
I actually would like to believe it wasn't him.
He DID NOT do it.

I know, I'm biased, but HEY.
Smooth Criminal is awesome.
Beat It is awesome.
So are his millions of other hits.
His moonwalk is unbelievable.

Such a great performer.

R.I.P.

Of knowwwing, lack of bras, sexism and metal snakes.

2009-06-25T06:20:00.000-07:00

Yesterday night was the first time I walked into a cinema and knew almost everyone in there.

Well, not that I knowww everyone.

See, the firm I work for decides to have a movie night! :)

(Apparently the first of its kind in the firm's history)

So it's not that I knowww everybody there, but more like the I've-seen-your-face-before-I-know-you-work-where-I-work-therefore-I-knowww-you kind knowing.

You know?

It was weird.

The entrance of the cinema hall had the firm's banners :P

Then I realised the cinema seats were of the firm's corporate colours! How perfect.

And we watched Transformers 2 on the night of the premiere *ohh yeah, kick ass firm* ;)

And so we allllllll watched metals clang together.

Annnnnnd we watched Megan Fox braless running very, very hard.

And watched magic powder bring someone back to life.

Good stuff ;)

Although the evil hot girl with the metal snakey tongue was a bit terrifying. If any guy tried to rape her I think her metal snakey thing will castrate the rapist right inside her.

Lol.

Sorry for the details :P

Annnnyway,

If there's one thing I wish would stop?

It's the fact that men love going "Oh she's PMS-ing today" whenever a girl/lady/woman is upset/angry/blew her top.

Like...

WTH WTF STOP IT ALREADY.

What is it called when MEN get upet/angry/blow their top??

HUH??

It's not friggin bloody "PMS".

You mean you can't be angry without having to PMS?

It's upset-ness/anger/blowing their tops of because of some other valid reason which is probably due to you anyway :P

So stop pointing towards those three letters.

It's very sexist; immature, even.

Some girls do it (blaming the PMS when other women are upset/angry/blowing their top) too.

Do that in front of me and my metal snakey tongue will severe your tongue off, I swear :P

Aaa-chooOINK

2009-06-23T05:12:00.000-07:00

YAY!

Assunta is now known NATIONALLY!!

Not for it's fair grip on the English language...(when compared to most national schools ;)

Not for its pretty girls..

Not for its lesbians fame..

Not for its easy girls...(SOME la, okay, SOME)

Not for its missionary history...

Not for its super-long school song...

BUT FOR SWINE FLOO...

PIG FLOOO........

Pork chop floo.....

:)

All these travellers who just boarded off a plane from those H1N1-highlighted countries are plain selfish la.

I mean, cmon. They've just arrived back from the floo-hit countries and go around to school/work/trains/buses/etc and share the joy.

WTF?

If you KNOWWW you just came from that area, please la.
Be more responsible to the greater public and stay at home a few days before you start going out if you feel fine.

I mean, you KNOWWW how it's spread.

You KNOWWW you won't know if you have it til after a few days...

So stay la at home for a few days to make sure you're alright...

I'd self-quarantine myself for a week at least, and catch up on those addictive Hong Kong dramas and the Kardashian drama :D

For the greater good of the masses.

Y'know.

In case.

:)

To those who are sniffling or sick...
Get well soon :)

Parenting.

2009-06-15T08:12:00.000-07:00

Imagine the time when we...

("we" as in all you people around my age... If you don't know how old I am, I'm 16 ;)

...are all grown up...

We'd settle down...
Build a family...
Suffer as parents...

And become an old fart.

Yep.

And then...

AND THENNNN!!!

Our kids might probably stumble onto our probably then prehistoric Facebook accounts!

Prehistoric because by the time our kids are our age today, they'd most probably have super-technology at their disposal.

Maybe they'd be implanted with some chip in their head immediately after they're born so they can access through their minds something like our Internet; except 10 times faster and better.

Maybe immediately after birth they'd be injected with some kinda chemical that makes their minds mega-computers.

Maybe they'd...

Maybe...

I don't know.

But yeah. What we have now will be prehistoric.

In the next thirty years, we'd be sitting at Starbucks (which, by then, would be sooo not hip or cool anymore) recollecting the good ol' days when we'd used to comment on each other's Wall, Facebook quizzes and Twit.

We have all our blogs, Facebook, Friendster, Twitter accounts now...

And we document in text, pictures and videos all our adolescent stupidity and foolishness for the world to see.

Imagine.

Just imagine...

Our kids finding them.

Our camwhore pictures. A plentyful of those.
Our pictures while trying on dresses in the fitting room with our best girlfriends.
Our la-la pictures.
Our pictures of short-lived teenage romances.
Our thousands and hundred thousands of pictures with our fake camera smiles.
Our...erm... X-rated pictures??

Yeah you get the idea. :P

"OMG Dad used to be such a dorrrrrk!!!"

"Mum...had bangs. Ew."

"AHAHAHHAAHAHHA Dad thought he was some kinda gangsta?????"

"Err... My mum's into Hannah Montana."

"Our parents actually shelled out $$$ for them ugly shoes... Crocs?"

Oh you know.
And finally...

*GASP!!*

"MUM'S FACEBOOK STRIPPER NAME WAS...

MS TICKLECOCKER."

o_O

Friday Night

2009-06-12T07:18:00.000-07:00

My working hours, officially, are from 8.30am to 5.30pm...

However, due to the nature of the industry, the inofficial working hours range from 8.30am to 8.30pm...or even til the next morning.

TODAYYY... I didn't have much work to do and I finished way before 5.30pm.

So I helped out my colleagues a bit...

And then...voila!

5pm.

I was chatting with a friend online, working, who was also counting down the half hour til the day was over.

5.15pm...

Friend reminded me : 15 more minutes to pretend to look busy when you're actually thinking of going home/going to party/etc etc...

5.25pm...

YES!! Five minutes to go!!

And finally...
5.30pm!!!

WOO~~
START PACKING AND RUN OUT THE DOOR!!

RIGHT???

No.

I looked around.
No one was packing.
No one was leaving.
I checked the time on my laptop.
5.30pm.
I checked the time on my phone just to make sure.
5.35pm...(I set it 5 minutes faster, yes)

So I didn't pack.
I left everything as it was, just to blend in with the rest of my colleagues.

5.45pm.
Still no one going out the door with their bags.

I'm feeling a bit restless.
These people aren't going home til SATURDAY MORNING!!!

GRARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.59pm
Finally, someone left with their bags.

6pm
I start packing.
Throw and chuck everything in the bag.
Walk out the door feeling like a dungu.

Lady Love ;)

2009-06-07T11:42:00.000-07:00

Dear blog,

Today,
when I got so sick of looking at my exam prep kit...

I opened an account at a GAL site.

(GAL=gays and lesbians)

Just to see how lesbian-worthy I am.

XD
Hahahahaha...

So please don't freak out if you see my face there.

I'm as straight as an arrow, and I love my boyfriend (who's a real guy, not an FTM :)

(FTM = gay slang for transsexuals; aka Female-To-Male)

How I fared among the ladies..?

Time'll tell.

Now...
Teruskan membakar minyak tengah malam!

:D

Say Cheese Naan!!

2009-06-04T07:57:00.000-07:00

I have this problem when friends take my picture.

They snap the picture, and then they look at it, and say,

"Again, again. Take another one, Rachel blinked la..."

Welllll..... I know I didn't blink.

See, when I smile or laugh or grin... My eyes kinda get very, very, verrrrrrry small..

I'm your typical Chinese :P

Hehe...

And this happened not once, not twice, not thrice, but a few times already!!

Aw, shucks.

So obviously, I can't say, "Oh no, photographer, it's just my sepet eyes!"

Hee. So let's take that shot again!

So I give a fake smile.

One that doesn't sepet-ise my eyes too much.

And Mr/Ms Photographer's happy.

Yaaay!

A---ttttttttaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

2009-05-30T11:17:00.000-07:00

Classes started...

And ended oh-so-very quickly.

And thanks to the class photographer Damien...

This is how we look like in class...(killing those SFQs and WTs and listening to Mr. ManU's stories)

And when we're outta the lecture room......................... :D

The dinner at Royale Bintang Chulan...

* My classmates are just so gorgeous! *

WH just looooves sitting/lying on another man's lap... As evidence, there's this :

Can you see the joy on his face when he's lying down on LY's lap??

No? Look closer :

Celebrating Eleanore 's birthday @ 21

And now, I shall go attack my revision kit the way I'm attacking Jean's fries for the exam tomorrow :)

Candy with the surprise centre..

2009-05-24T22:49:00.000-07:00

Quick, name something wrong with Chace!

...

Nothing?

I thought so ;)

Why the sudden randomness?
I don't know.

I don't even watch Gossip Girl!!

I was just watching E-News when they featured some magazine's list of sexiest people in Hollywood..

Katy Perry...
Chace Crawford...
Liev Schreiber...
Christina Applegate...
And..
Helen Mirren.

Wow.
Beautiful at what, age 50??

But what caught my eye was the photoshoot shot of Chace, in some casual pants and a t-shirt...
Sprawled out on a bed...
His eyes just inviting me to join him there...

Heh.
I gotta wake up.

(next to him)

:P

Wanna KISS Adam!

2009-05-23T09:02:00.000-07:00

OMG.

WHAT THE???

What on earth / the hell / in heaven's name ???

What the fish / frog / fudge / freck / frick / fog / fag / flower ?????
(ran outta words starting with F)

Kris Allen can KISS ADAM LAMBERT's shiny-tight-leather-pants ASS!!!!!

Because even he knew Adam should've won.

Damn.

Anyway...

I'm going for this dinner with a Black Tie dress code.
And I realised I didn't have anything black-tie.

All I have are too skimpy..
Or too casual..
Or too boring.

:(

AND!
Oh wow, a few people I talked to these past weeks told me that I look 20-something!!
SO old..?
Heheh..

Start hitting the anti-ageing products?

Oh the vanity..
:P

Ni de yen shen, chong man mei li..
Dai zou wo de xin tiao.
Ni de wen rou, ru zer kao jin..
Dai zou wo de xin tiao.

See, my Mandarin's improving ;)

My Mandarin's off the hook, yo!~

:D

Okay la, it's totally OFF.
XD

The worst finally happened.

2009-05-18T07:10:00.000-07:00

Oh my god.

You know how after exams, you immediately fear the worst??

Don't know about you, but after my paper's collected, I just go, "OhmigawdI'mgonnafail".

A little exaggerated, yes, but it was just a matter of speech..

I knew in my head I wasn't gonna fail la, but takkanlah you're gonna go around saying, "Oh I sooo aced that piece of shet."

That, my friend, would be cockiness.

And as an auditor, always be prudent. Only disclose, but not recognise potential income, and always recognise potential losses immediately.

So yes, OhmigawdI'mgonnafail.

But I never did fail.

Mwahahahhaa.

But last week..

I sat for my first ACA progress test...

Admittedly, I got a bit over-confident..

Didn't study much for the test...

And sat for it..

Opened the paper...

...and started to sweat.

I walked out of the exam hall.

And for the first time,

I said

"OhmigawdI'mgonnafail"

...and meant it.

I really did fail that test.

MISERABLEH!!

Next progress test!!

I'MMA ACE THAT PIECE AH SHET!!

:D

ONE-EIGHT!! :)

2009-05-12T10:19:00.000-07:00

I turned 18 last Friday :)

:)
:)
:)

Although, yesh, I spent the whole day and evening at work...

But hey, I guess that's the big bad world for you.

On a sexier note,

*rawrrRRR!!!!!!!!*

Mr Wang totally blew me away. Although I was ten miles from where he was on stage.

The distance of my seat and the stage he pranced about on was...

...two countries apart.

He still made me feel good though!

Oh my god.

When he hit my favorite ballads, I melted...

Like M&Ms in your mouth...

Like a bar of dark chocolate caught in the KL's heatwave.

Like a bar of dark chocolate on his sexy, sexy chest.

Wooo~~~

Sangatlah teramatlah panas nih...

His voice is so mesmerizing.

Could he be anymore perfect ah??

Damn it.

I listen to him EVERYDAY on the train.

And in the train, especially the morning ride, NO ONE smiles at 7.30am...

Except for me of course.

I CAN'T listen to him and NOT smile.

(which means his songs make me smile la...except for his heart-wrenching ballads *tears up*)

But they'd probably think me nuts.

'Cos I do occasionally lip sync to the songs on the train... :P

Whoops.. Hee.

For more sexy pictures of God... Go to my Facebook only la :)

Bananas over Mr Wang ;)

2009-04-29T09:18:00.000-07:00

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MEN IN THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY???

Okay, as far as I can recall, back in ACCA, the male-female ratio was about 50:50...

But...

Walk into any accounts department of the office...

And all you see are skirts.

BLOODY HELL DID ALL THE MEN DIE AT WAR???

There can't be thaaat little men in accounting...

What on earth happened??

One of life's greatest mysteries.

Would be nice to see a guy filing in mundane paperwork for once :P

On another different matter completely...

Taking the LRT has been fun, especially for people with a runaway imagination...

There were these two Chinese dudes.

In tight t-shirts and nicely fitting jeans...

Carrying their huge-ass luggage bag with the tag from AirAsia still on.

They got on the train.

Sat directly opposite of me.

And they sat sooo close next to one another...

And their actions...were so gentle for men.

One was rougher than the other...

But they seemed so...harmonious in their communication.

Conclusion??

They're gay, running away from their conservative-homophobic kampung to live a new life together in KL, happily ever after.

:D

Oh oh AND!

This Indon couple rushed in and the woman quickly grabbed a seat while the dude quickly put his bags down, and opened this arm-sized box.

Then another box inside.

And took out...

A stethoscope and the arm-pressure measuring thing with the pump.

And he looked SO excited that he and his girlfriend/wife/sister/mother/friend started trying it out on themselves immediately.

No, it wasn't a toy.

They looked like they stole it from somewhere.

+___+

And it worked, I think, 'cos they looked so excited about it.

There you go, Dr. Thief!

And oh my goodness.

I can feel my English worsening.

Drastically.

I now speak with the Ah-Pek-Ah-Lian slang of which I have previously detested much.

Unfortunately if you speak properly, without a "local" or "Malaysian" or "normal" slang, you might give the person an impression that you're snooty and that you think you're better than them because you speak good English..

Yes, yes, one should not compromise one's standards, bla bla blah...

It's so easy to think and preach that, but when it comes to the real world where you meet all kinds of people from alllll kinds of backgrounds... You learn to compromise to get what you want/need.

Which is why my English is so sucks. You know??

Can you believe it, the client's accounting department asked my senior if I was LOCAL???

And my senior told them I should be local la...

And they were like, "But how can she be local and not speak Mandarin??"

=___=

Never heard of bananas ah??

Lol. Come, meet my friends :P

I mean, c'monnn.... I'm learning, damn it.

Yes, I do regret not learning Chinese when I was small and all, but

C'MONNNN!!!

It's not like I go around gasping and saying, "OMG you can't speak English???"

Grr...

You know who I want Mandarin lessons from?

LEE HOM.

Mr Wang...

:P

I bought a ticket for his show this Saturday!! ;D

Can't wait ;)

<3>

Girls like boys who like girls who like boys who like..huh??

2009-04-19T07:46:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, I went back to my alma mater for Sports Day :)

I'm from an all-girls school.
(This piece of information is relevant for the following story ahead :P )

And so, Sam, Jean, and I (ex-students) and Lex (brother of a current student) were walking in to the school through the front gate when we saw a big group of boys waiting outside the gate trying to get in.

LOL

So when Lex walked in, this guy just grabbed his shoulder and said,

"Hey! You know me right?? You're N's sister right?? Can you bring me in please?? Eh bring me in la"

L/O/L!!!

Yes, our school is strict about the boys coming into the school compound.

My lil sister (a current student) even told me that she saw two groups of boys climbing over the concrete wall into the school compound that morning...

...just to find themselves face to face with the discipline teachers waiting for them on the other side of the wall.

XD

Ah, school...

It was just us girls.

Which was pretty cool :)

Yes yes, everyone NOT from an all-girls school automatically assumes that girls from all-girls schools are lesbians, kiss girls, and/or fawns over the first boy she sees.

The people who think that must have been, I don't know.. Mentally-challenged or something.

Yes, there are girls who like girls.

Yes, we love going ga-ga over Lee Hom and that cute guy who's a friend of a friend of a friend's.

(But not you, you butt-ugly dude.)

:P

Naw, I'm just kiddin.

And yeah, school was fun :)

Boys were... Umm... Very handy.

Every time we threw events like charity/fund-raising events and needed people by the masses?

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

The boys who were interested in the girls from school would be our dear targets.

Cos they'd do anything for the girls they fancy.

And they'd bring their group of friends along..

More people, more crowd, more money coming in, more response, etc etc...

Mwahahahhahahaa...

And every school social event was a grandeur show of who's whose boyfriend.

OH OH and who can forget...

The boys standing outside the school gate after school.

One of the high school courtship patterns?

Lol.

Just like a normal date, a boy meeting a girl...

Except its outside the school gate...
...and the boy comes with an entourage of his friends (for moral support??)...
...and the girl walks out to the school gate with her entourage...

Anddd everyone's in their school uniforms, carrying their bags and books.

:D

I miss being in school so much!!

College just made me realise how gross boys can get.

:P

And working...made me realise that these gross boys will one day grow up into mature, sexy men.

The Bus Stop.

2009-04-13T08:23:00.000-07:00

(photo courtesy of Kar Hoe who had to lie on the who-knows-what-had-been-there-before KL pavement to take this shot)

Welcome to KL!!

Yesterday, I took a shower on the streets of KL...

I was on Jalan Sultan Ismail and I was trying (and failing) to get a cab, in the middle of a storm.

I ran to the nearest bus stop, hoping to escape the rain...

But the person who designed the bus stop shelter was stupid.

Imagine the average bus stop shelter...

Now cut it up into four pieces and space them apart a little.

You get four small stooopid unfunctional shelters.

Thanks, bus stop shelter builder, you absolute genius, you!

So yeah, it was pouring madness.

And I stood in the middle of one of the miserable shelters, hoping to avoid as much rain patter as possible...

But Mother Nature's taking revenge on me...

For printing and amending it and re-printing and re-printing and using too much paper at work.

THE RAIN CAME IN SIDEWAYS!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? THE RAIN BLEW IN SIIIIIIDEWAYSSS!!!

Oh my.

And after that, I talked to two Swedish ladies, recommended places to shop in KL, and we talked...

In the rain.

So I finally got into a cab.

And wrung rain water from my jeans.

And hair and jacket.

ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Still love you, KL.

:)

The Office.

2009-04-04T00:39:00.000-07:00

I got my VERY FIRST pay!!

Yes, I've been working for a month now.

And those who blackmailed me into buying lunch on my first pay, I'm so sorry (not really) to tell you that I gave my mum my first pay.

:P

Eheheheheh..

The working world is the BOMB.

I'm having sooooo much fun that time passes so quickly!!

I mean, I take the train to work and get in the office before 8.30am...

And before I know it, it's evening and its time to go home.

Of course, unless I have to work overtime.

And because everyone in the office usually works overtime, it's pretty awkward to gather my things and leave at 5.30pm.

Seriously, when I walk out the door with my bags and stuff, everyone I pass by in the office just looks at me funny.

Jealous, maybe? :P

Heheh. I don't know, but its apparently a culture in the industry to OT.

But time passes so fast!!

One week in college used to be forever, with the daily marathon of at least two three-hour lectures..

But now... Last Saturday seemed like yesterday!

Oh and oh wow.

Wowww.

I have this thing for men in shirts, ties and suits.

Oh wow.

Wowwwwwwww.

Men look so good in shirts and ties!

There's this one particular colleague of mine.

It's so sexy to watch him take his tie off once working hours end.

So friggin' sexy.

Yum.

I don't think he knows that I watch from the corner of my eye, everytime.

I hope not.

:P

And when men get serious, and they have this serious look on their face?

That's hot.

LOL, men are hot when they think.

XD

Yes, its a wonder how I get any work done huh.

So if anyone is around in KL during my lunch hour... 12.30pm, call me and we'll meet up! :)

Stand or sit? Stand or sit??

2009-03-18T03:08:00.001-07:00

I was watching Saturday Night Live on Starworld.. And it’s pretty old… They show shows from way back. And then there are current ones, like Saturday Night Live: The Best of Jimmy Fallon.

Oh.
My.
God.

That guy is hilarious.

From his impersonation of Robert DeNiro to his ‘music’ to his improv interview with Paris Hilton… I’m in love with a cute loony.

I’ve never heard of him before this, but I love him. Love him, love him, love him.

Hi Jimmy..

=P

On another different matter completely… I take the LRT to work everyday…

And it’s a half hour ride one-way. So I’m either standing up on my heels with the not-so-light laptop all the way…

Or I get lucky and get a seat.

But it’s not that simple, you see.

You know how they say we should give our seats to those who need it more?

Yeah. That’s not that simple too.

The ‘more needy’ people are usually the pregnant women or the elderly…

So when I do get a seat and there are people crowding the train, I start to think about that lady standing near me..

Is she pregnant…or fat?

I mean, if someone got up and offered me their seat, I’d be thinking… Am I thaaat fat that I look pregnant??

Or…

Am I thaaat haggard looking that I look like an old woman in need of a seat??

Back to the lady standing near me.

If I do get up for her, she might get offended.

If I don’t, then she might be a pregnant lady cursing the Malaysian courtesy culture…

So you can see that my mind just loves to overthink these trivial matters…

Oh well. Be guilt free and stand all the way?

No thanks.

She doesn’t look that heavily pregnant anyways. She’s perfectly able to stand =P

Oh Braddd...

2009-02-28T00:16:00.000-08:00

New job!
New hairstyle!
Same ol' me :)

Haha.. Yep, I'm starting work on Monday...

Gonna be weird not having my classmates around the whole day in class, feeling sleepy and kacauing each other while waiting for the lecturer to give us a break..

Yes, that's what we do =P

And I finally went to chop off my hair!

And went shopping for "office clothes".

I'm gonna miss my t-shirts and tank tops, I tell ya.

So anyway, I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and... Wow.

Nice.

But what caught me afterwards was this...

Last time; long, long time ago..

Pre-cellphones...

Lovers torn apart by distance communicated through letters and all the postal stuff.

It'll take DAYS for your message to get through.

And their love can last for decades with just love letters!!

But now, distance is NOTHING, thanks to our life dependency... CELLPHONES.

But even so, once you don't get a reply from him/her for... Say, an hour...

It's either:

a.) he/she's outta credit
b.) his/her phone ran outta battery
c.) he/she has just been a victim of cellphone snatch theft
d.) something bad happened; eg-an accident (CHOI!)
e.) he/she's cheating on you with another person.

Lol.

How to make the 'love' last for decades like lovers in the pre-cellphone era??

I have no idea.

=P

Meoww...

2009-02-16T23:57:00.001-08:00

I went for my first ever job interview!

Yesterday!

Haha...

I was grouped with these other two ladies who hold degrees...

So... I felt like an infant.

A fetus, even.

Ohh goooosh.

And my final exam results are out!!

I'm now.. Rachel Yong, CAT!

Heheh.

Well no, I can't use CAT at the back of my name cos I've no working experience yet...

But YAY!

I've passed all my papers!

With flying colours?

Maybe.

So anyway, he and I went out on Vday...

And I was SHOCKED at the number of people holding hands and all!!

I mean...EVERYONE in the frigging mall were in love!!

It made me wonder where all the couples went on non-Valentine days.

Or where did they all suddenly appeared from for that particular day.

Roses, roses everywhere...
Restaurants with their special Vday menu for two...
La lala lala...

No sign of the economic recession at all :)

Ain't life grand?

I love you all ;)

Dreams don't come true...I hope.

2009-01-27T06:18:00.000-08:00

*tung-tungtung-chiang!!*

Merry Chinese New Year! ;)

I don't know if it's just my bad memory or if it's the weather, but I don't ever remember a rainy Chinese New Year.

The first two days of CNY are usually extra sunny and cheery!

This year it rained a little, but nahh...

That's okay.

The ang pau collecting still goes on! =D

Anyway, these past few nights have been so odd.

I've been having such weird, random dreams...

Two nights ago, I slept real late and I dreamt that the love of my life actually hated me.

I guess I was so devastated that I woke up in tears. Lol.

Then I went back to bed again and had another dream!

This one was a nice one, I'm not gonna put it out here, but it was such a sinfully nice one that I woke up again.

And decided to go back to sleep again because it was still early.

8am.

Still early ma... =P

Then I dreamt that I was a newscaster at CNN or some similar channel.

I woke up feeling sooooo inspired that I wanted to go watch the news and consider a career change!

L O L.

Yesh.

I have a very weird sub-conscious state of mind XD

AND...

Last night...

I went to bed (late as usual)...

This time I had a very long and elaborate dream...

It felt so real...

It's the present day, Kuala Lumpur.

I'm in my room when these people in uniform started rounding up everyone in my neighborhood.

They were grouped up in lines...

Apparently I knew what was happening la...

KL had fallen to the communists!!

XD

So I ran back into my room to pack my "escape bag"

I reached for my cellphone...

Cash...

Water...

Food.. I grabbed chocolate bars!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

And I don't know what else la but I remember shoving my penknife into my pocket.

Then I went out of room and met this woman.

Somehow, in the dream, she was someone I trusted.

We peeked out from the living room and saw the people outside being packed into buses.

And she told me they were being sent to labor camps.

So we hid in my room...

Til this stranger girl walked by my room and spotted us.

She demanded identification papers from us or she'd report us.

So my trusted friend and I looked at each other.

We understood what we had to do.

My trusted friend started distracting the stranger girl.

I turned around to "produce my papers".

I reached for my penknife and flicked it open.

I turned back and stabbed the stranger girl on the heart.

She gasped.

I woke up thinking "Oh no oh no oh no I KILLED SOMEBODY!!!"

Then I realised UMNO still ruled the government.

XD

That's how vivid my dreams get.

I gotta stop reading all my Communism-era romance novels... =P

Darlings :)

2009-01-21T17:22:00.001-08:00

The long-awaited beach getaway... :)

8 gorgeous girls on the beach!!

Lol. You're right, Kay, it does sound lesbian orgy porn-like...

Anyway, last December my darlingest girlfriends and I took a four hour long bus ride to Lumut..

FOUR HOURS!!

Longest bus ride ever.

Then after some half an hour of laughing in Sam's dad's friend's son's car, we finally got to check in at Swiss Garden, Damai Laut Resort...

The pretty room Kim and I shared..

Funny thing happened when Tracy walked into her room..

Some girl was in the room and she started shouting all the profanities in the book for walking in on her...

Apparently the hotel had a system error and gave us the wrong rooms..

But still. LOL. Imagine if the people in the room were in the middle of a steamy session on the bed.

Or off the bed.

XD

The beach at night.

And the beach the next morning.

Kay and I...

All of us talked so much about kayaking.. And in the end, only Kay, Tracy and Suefie got about to it.

The rest of us were just too content sunbathing.

The beautiful Kim..

Lovers, sisters, and lazy asses bumming on the beach chair =D

And I absolutely adore you lot to death :)

Right before leaving the place, we walked around the place again and this time, we found an even nicer beach on the other side of the resort!!

*look where Kay's hand is!!*
Scandalous, mann...

Bye, beach!

Kim's babies..
She "rescued" whatever was left =P

Seokie's babies too.

Do we look asleep?? Lol.
The bus ride was four freakin hours long mannn...
Had to fidget with the camera a bit la, of course..

Okay, Sam was really asleep.

Now we know how she sleeps...
=P Damn cute la wei...

DIY, baby!!

2009-01-16T02:39:00.000-08:00

Imagine Ikea selling DIY cars!!

Heheheh...

JY, WH and I got so bored at one point in class when we were supposed to attempt a question on luxury cars and family cars...

We were supposed to find ideas on which type of product pricing to use on luxury cars when we started thinking about the fun-ness that was assembling your very own car!

So imagine IKEA not only selling furniture, but also engines and steering wheels and wheels!!

=D

Lol!

Then you get to fit plushy, comfy sofas in the car...(and the bean bag!!)

The WHOLE 99-horsepower air-conditioner in the car...

Pretty, colourful carpeting for the interior...

Kitchen cabinets for better utilisation of space in the car...

Installing a nice night light (in case you got kicked outta the house and have to live in the car)...

Yeah.

THE IDEA HAS BEEN COPYRIGHTED OKAY!!!

(I don't know how to get the copyrighted symbol on Blogger..)

Peace =D

Oh and next week..

I am going for (kind of) a job interview!

:)

Kind of, because it's more like an interview to be selected for an interview...

Wish me luck, sweeties! =P

*sings Britney's*

Gimme, gimme.. Gimme..

Excuse my language, but...

2009-01-09T21:38:00.000-08:00

When I go out, I sometimes get unkind remarks from some people.

They say it out to their friends or whoevers there, thinking I can't hear them..

Well, that's kinda true, I can't hear them because I think I'm almost half deaf.

HOWEVER, I do have a boyfriend who has excellent hearing.. XD
Lol.

So I was having dinner at a mall, with Alex sitting across the table...

And halfway through the wait for the food to arrive, he told me he heard something from the other table behind me.. (I think there were a bunch of girls there)

He said they said something about "Look at that bitch".

I admit I do wear clothes that show a lotta cleavage =P And at a table, I do lean forward to talk to him...

But I doubt that constituted the cheapshot name-calling.

I mean, if they were sooooo holier-than-thou about the cleavage showing, then they would be tooooo holier-than-thou to name-call explicitly.

Iiiiiiiii think, it had to do with HIM (Alex). =P (Yes, I'm blaming you =P hehe)

I mean, he's so rojak... Half Chinese, half English, a dash of this, a dash of that...

My point is, he just doesn't look local.

As in, local Malaysian guy la...

So apparently, he is considered a guai lo.

Ang moh.

Mat salleh.

Whatever you wanna call it.

SO!! Thaaat would make me look like one of the sarong party girls!

What's a sarong party girl? It describes a local Asian woman referring to solely oriental (e.g., Chinese and Malay girls) who usually dresses and behaves in a provocative manner, and who exclusively dates and prefers white men.

Pfffffft.

Sorry, I tak suke much.

I think there are no girls like Malaysian girls and there are no men like Malaysian men.

I love Malaysian men ;)

Haha.. Don't ask me why...

Now, back to my point.

My 'conclusion' to why those girls called me a bitch was because of my ang moh-looking boyfriend.

XD

LOL.

Another time something like this happened was when I was in a shop in another mall..

Again, I was with my gifted-with-super-hearing-ability boyfriend..

After paying at the counter, we walked out and he told me, "That cashier just called you a perempuan gatal"

I laughed.

It saddened me to know that so many women have this innate need to prejudge a person and voice it out for the next person to hear.

Well okay, men do it too... (but I don't think I've met any of them who do).

So women do it, men do it.. Everybody does it... YOU do it too! =P

I do admit I do sometimes think not-so-nicely of someone I don't know.. But the difference is, I keep it to myself...

Now, back to the cashier. This Malay or Indon woman who called me a perempuan gatal.

Well yeah, my man and I share lil pecks and kisses every now and then..

But since the mulut besar cashier decided to share her opinions...

Oi.
Never see people hold hands before ah?
Never see people kiss before ah?
Never watched movies where you wished you were the girl the movie hero was making out with ah?
Wah-lauuu...
Dare to call me gatal when you yourself are in skin-tight clothes like an over-stuffed popiah wishing desperately to be noticed behind the counter???
Psh.

To the two women...

I forgive you..you b****es.

=P

ROOOOOOM SERRRRVICEEEE!!!!

2009-01-07T18:45:00.000-08:00

Classes have, once again, commenced very shortly after the holidays supposedly started...

I had just enough time to convince myself to forget about the woe that was my exams in early December and barely little time to spend my New Year's Eve with my girlfriends on the beach...

We holiday-ed at Damai Laut, Perak... Somewhere very near Pangkor Island apparently, but we never went to the island... Too lazy to get our bums to the jetty to ferry ourselves there.. Heheh..

So we spent three days on the resort ( a very ulu and secluded pedalaman area off Lumut), getting sunburnt (no matter how many bottles of SPF150000 we coated ourselves with), dining on hotel food and whatever snacks we brought that we could pass off as meals... And drinking ourselves red and high...

Yes, we might just as well have had our 'beach holiday' in a hotel in KL..

We could still call for room service, dine on hotel food, instant noodles, instant mash potatoes, bacon bits, tortillas and dips and drink ourselves silly annnnnd still get sunburnt.

But walking around KL in bikinis and sarongs would've been weird..

Wouldn't it?

Anyway... Happy New Year, y'all :)

Goodbye and Hello :)

2008-12-28T21:47:00.000-08:00

It's that time of the year again!

A week full of Christmas parties and New Year parties :)

2008's coming to an end..

Let's see what I can recall...

The Beijing Olympics.

Obama becoming president.

Heath Ledger's death(which kinda helped The Dark Knight rake in the $$millions$$).

The melamine scare.

The "economy-crisis" scare.

The emergence of the new "boybands" - whiny boys trying to rock
(Case in point- The Jonas Brothers, Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, etc etc...)
I still love them though :)

Hannah Montana's world domination.

Yadda yadda yadda...

Well... 2008 was an interesting year for me...

I started college.

I met a whooooole lotta interesting people there...

From the foos addict to the DOTA-crazed to the facebooking stand-up comedian lecturer to the kinky Latin dancer to the self-proclaimed Tan Sri to the emo-screamo music fan to the downright annoying boy in class whose sole purpose is to drive you mad. =P

Ohhhhhhh you know you are ;)

I love you all anyways :)

I got my SPM results!! And it was kick-ass! ;)

I rocked out at 2008 MTV Asia Awards with the fabulous Mosh Pitters and MAN were they awesome!! =D

I tried ice-skating.

I never once let go of the railings or my friend's hand.

That failed miserably.

I tried learning how to ride a bicycle.

I never rode more than two revolutions of the wheels at any one try.

That failed miserably too.

I took up salsa! :)

Now THAT one I didn't fail.
Not miserably, at least XD

And 2008 was fun :)

A girl in love always has fun ;)

Haha... Oh the corniness...

I'm sorrayyy... =P

And oh, yes...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

May we all have a rocking 2009 :)

I love you all ;)

Tv time!

2008-12-20T04:47:00.000-08:00

I'm loving accounting!!

(As nerdy as that may sound...)

No, accounting isn't dull and boring...

No, accountants aren't bespectacled no-lifers sitting at the desk from 9 to 9 the next morning...

No, I'm not trying to console myself..

It really, really is interesting! =D

I mean, especially with the current credit crisis where every Tom, Dick and Harry and Barry and Sally are talking about debts, equity, capital, gearing, liquidity and whatnot.

Before I took Accounting in college, I used to skip the gibberish Biz section in the newspapers...

Now I can read the articles AND understand them =D

I don't just look at the embarrassingly funny pictures of the CEOs (You know, the shot with their mouths open when the picture was taken when they were talking in the interview or something..) =P

Now I actually GET what they're talking about =D

Loss leader ?

EPS?

Hah. No problem mannn...

*that terrer feeling*

Lol.

Anyway...

My finals are over! :)

Now I'm on my December break...

Waiting for classes to resume in January again...

I'm one of those (few)people who prefer classes/work to long, long holidays...

Long, long holidays(in this case, it's a two-and-a-half-week holiday) are a bore.

So I started baking. A lot.

Pineapple tarts :)

Green pea cookies :)

Ah don't wanna bore you with the details...

Okay.

So during my boring holidays, I sat my bum in front of the tv a lot.

And I get SO annoyed watching Astro channels because of the ads.

(It's like watching Ad-TV with snippets of Heroes as the commercial breaks)

And recently... There's the Malaysian rip-off of the show Dancing With The Stars...

It's called Sehati Berdansa.

If you watch Astro, you know you've seen the commercials promoting the show...

And I got so annoyed at first that I didn't notice how HILARIOUS it is!!

SO...

One Sunday, I decided I'd check it out...

Oh my god.

These people would pass off the chicken dance as a waltz if you told them to!

XD

Now I'm no dance expert...

But... I've watched enough Ballroom Bootcamp and I've sat through enough traditional dance shows to know what dance is...

And the chicken dance is not.

Hooooo-leeeeee ker-rap.

The worst part?

While the duo were practising their 'moves'...

The choreographer would be sitting down, telling them "Okay... Steps kamu okay..."

Hoooooooo-leeeeee ker-rap!!

Where on earth in Malaysia did they FIND these so-called choreographers??

How could you let the dancers do whatever they do on national tv???

*whew*

Okay.

ANDDD their clothes!!

Oh dear.

They go on national tv in clown outfits and some ugliness that I don't know how to decribe in words.

You just have to watch it to believe it...

Ah the things they do to become a selebriti Malaysia...

The next time any of you get offers to star in a M'sian production...

I urge you to please...

DEMAND to meet the fashion co-ordinator before you sign the contract!!

Minor.

2008-11-25T01:51:00.000-08:00

So I was talking to a friend...

He asked what the 'legal age of consent' is in Malaysia...

And I wasn't exactly sure...

Sixteen or eighteen?

Eighteen or sixteen?

When in doubt, Google it =)

And I found some quite interesting schtuff...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Main article: Age of consent

The age of consent for sex in Malaysia is 16 for both males and females.
(Yep, I've got the consent of the Malaysian law =P )

In China the national legal age of consent for sexual activity is 14 years, regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.
(No wonder they're over-populated)

India's age of consent for heterosexual sex is 16, except in the state of Manipur, where it is 14. If the partners are married to each other they may legally engage in sexual activity at a lower age (13 in Manipur and 15 elsewhere).
(Wonder if the child marriage practice is still going on there...)

According to Israeli's law list (1977), the age of consent in Israel is 16 for any form of sex. Sexual relationships are allowed from ages 14-16, as long as the male is less than 3 years older than the female, and both sides agree and do it willingly (example: a 17 year old male may have sex with a 14 year old female, and an 18 year old male may have sex with 15 year old female).
("Hey there good-lookin... Let's have some fun tonight..."
"Err, wait ah, how old are you? Fourteen ah.. Wait ah, lemme count first. *counts fingers*" )

The age of consent in The Philippines is 12 but contract minors under 18.
(Don't know what contract minors are)

In Indonesia the age of consent for heterosexual sexual activity is 19 years for males and 16 years for females.
(Double standards-nyerrr...)

The age of consent in South Korea is 13 regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.
(Freakishly young. Imagine your little Form One sister gettin it on with some other ku-chi-rek boy)

In Vatican City, there is an equal age of consent set at 12 years of age in Art. 331 (1). When there is a relationship of dependence (like teacher/student, etc.) the age of consent is 15 years in Art. 331 (2)
(TWELVE??? In THE VATICAN??? SERIOUSLY???)

The general age of consent in Paraguay is 14 regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation. The age of consent for extramarital intercourse with married female adolescents is 16.
(Maybe they're short of women there, I don't know)

The age of consent in Singapore is 16 for or all opposite-sex activity and only female same-sex sexual activity. Under section 377A (outrages on decency) in the Penal Code states that; Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. Which means all male same-sex sexual activity (including mutual masturbation, oral and/or anal sex) is still illegal and the punishment is up to two (2) years jail, hardly ever enforced upon.
(Ho ho ho... Kesian the queer men of Singapore...)

In Madagascar, the age of consent is 14 years, according to article 331 in the Criminal Law. In certain cases, including relatives and homosexuals, it is 21 years.
(Holy crap there's an age of consent for incestuous relationships!)

The age of consent in Kenya is 16 years, for heterosexual males, females and female homosexuals. Male homosexuals get 25 years in prison.
(Again, the poor queer men of Kenya...)

Currently the age of consent in Guyana is 13 for lesbian females and heterosexual males and females, however legislation to raise the age to 16 is under discussion. Whilst male homosexual 'indecency' and all attempted anal sex carries a 10 year sentence, anal sex itself is punishable with life imprisonment.
(Life is great for the lesbians and heteros but the gay men have it bad in most countries... Even ATTEMPTED anal sex gets you behind bars for a good decade.)

According to the Book of My Mother's Laws, the age of consent is... 30.

Shoot.

2008-11-17T23:23:00.000-08:00

You know Christmas is near when the shops start selling Christmas gift packs and baskets :)

I don't really celebrate Christmas as my religious fest but I LOVE IT!!

I love it when the malls start playing Christmas carols and decorate the place with trees and its trinkets... The whole mall just suddenly comes alive with a warm, fuzzy atmosphere in the name of Christmas...

AND THE BODY SHOP STARTS DISPLAYING ITS CHRISTMAS SPECIALS! =D

It's so yummy that I can lather the product all over myself and start licking it off the back of my hand like a cat XD

Haha...

Dear Santa, please drop a SHIPLOAD of the Christmas Special Cranberry and Plum Body Lotion in my... Err...

I've no chimney, so dropping it on my bed would do juuust fine XD

Ah.

Okay.

Back to the pretty malls..

Although yes, they're all just gimmicks to get the shoppers in a cheery mood to buy more..

But still :)

They say this time around the malls won't spend so much on their decor..

Y'know.. because of the looming black cloud of an economy crisis that everyone's talkin about...

(But according to Zeti of the Bank Negara, Malaysia won't be badly hit by it)

My logic is that the malls should spend even more on the festive decor!!

Put more effort into luring the shoppers to spend more, yadda yadda yadda...

Why do I care so much?

I don't know, I guess I just love looking at beautiful schtuff...

The fairy lights on the trees...

The different shades of red on the lanterns and flowers during Chinese New Year...

The coloured rice beautifully arranged into a kolam durig Deepavali...

Yes, I love all things beautiful.

Yes I love pampering my eyes...

By lookin at beautiful things..

Beauty is very subjective, no?

So yeah... This is how I 'pamper' my eyes...

Going to the college bookshop during my breaks to flip through a men's magazine just to ogle at the cover guy - Patrick Dempsey in a suit =P and oh yes! His ad for Versace... *sigh*

Looking at the page in my exam booklet where I got full marks for Question 2a (But refusing to turn to Question 2b on the next page because the marks are lousy) =P

Lookin at shoes.. Beautiful shoes... Zebra print is my obsession nowadays, I don't know why...

Watching good rockin concerts... I can spoil myself with great sights and sounds watching Muse perform live..

Polar bears and puppies. Beautiful!!

Red and yellow flowers...

The sky and its cotton clouds...

Chocolate brownies...

My mum. Beauty in two words.

Watching my dad laugh(wheezingly) at a rerun of FRIENDS...

Seeing my hunny smile =)

Okay, change of topic!

So I was watching Heroes and I got sooo irritated.

When you have the villain at gun point, don't hesitate, JUST SHOOT!!!

ARRRGH!!!

I hate it when the good guy hesitates to shoot just to let the villain manipulate the situation and kills the good guy instead.

Grrr...

SHOOT HIM ALREADY!!
SHOOT!! SHOOT!! SHOOOOOT!!!!!!!

Arranged.

2008-11-09T20:40:00.000-08:00

I had sushi for dinner on Saturday!

Yay! Sushi!

Didn't like it before, still don't like it, won't ever like it.

Except for that pregnant fish thing... (Sashibu? Sashimu? Not sure what it's called)

Oh and I've always liked chawan mushi :)

But seriously... Sushi? *bleghh*

I mean, raw salmon?

Pass.

Rice wrapped with seaweed?

Pass. They're weeds for a reason.

And wasabi?

It's not even spicy, it's some odd-tasting cheap thrill for your nasal cavity.

Yep.

Give me anything, Indian food, Malay cuisine, Chinese cooking, Western, Italian, Thai, anything!

Just not Japanese sushi.

Oh but tempuras and teppanyaki's great :)

But I couldn't have any say on Saturday's dinner because my dad's friend from Indonesia came down to M'sia and we went to Genting where the casinos were and it just so happens that his(my Dad's friend's) wife and his mum loves sushi.

Oh well.

*flushes down the raw salmon with hot hot ocha* (That's green tea in Japanese right?)

Yeah. I hope the salmon gets cooked by the rush of hot tea in my food tract.

So anyway, now lemme get to the part which cracked me up that night.

My Dad's friend(let's call him Uncle S from now) and his wife and his mum can only speak Mandarin with minimal English. So the whole time they talked to me, I could just smile/grin/"Mm hmm"/"Oh"/nod/etc as my reply.

To my defense, my Mandarin's OKAYYY.

I CAN understand what you say, thank you very much.

I CAN reply in Mandarin too. Just that it'll sound really odd. =D

Okay back to the story!

At one point, Uncle S turned to me and suggested to me(in Mandarin) to meet his son so we could get hitched.

I was still smiling/grinning/"Mm hmm"-ing/"Oh"-ing in reply to his suggestion...

Then they went on la.. He was like, oh my son's good-looking, like a Korean superstar...

(Yeah apparently the 26-year old boy's got a Japanese girlfriend, if I'm not mistaken.)

Then his mum chimed in... Said I could move back to Indonesia with them... I won't need to work... Each child would have their own personal servant... If you have three kids, you'd have three servants...

LOL.

At this point it was so funny I couldn't help laughing XD

Then Uncle S asked if I had any current partner.

Then he answered his own question in Bahasa Indonesia "Kalau ada, boleh potong"

Then he and my dad 'shook hands' over it.

XD

Hilarious at that point of time.

Oh well.

That Japanese girlfriend of Uncle S's son would fit in wayyyyyy better with the family's fav food. =P

"Go stand in the corner!!"

2008-11-03T00:39:00.000-08:00

Has anyone been sent to stand in the corner as a kid before??

Well, okay, so my classmates and I had to discuss this topic - child discipline.

And the lecturer asked us to share our personal experiences with the class.. And NO ONE spoke so I said "Yeah, when I was a kid, my mum punished me by making me stand in the corner for a reasonably long time"

Of course, it must've felt like forever when I was standing in the corner...

I expected some classmates to agree with me and go like "Oh yeah, I had to do that too!"

But no.

The class was silent and went like "Err..."

Apparently NO ONE else had been punished to the corner before!! Wow!!!

So they started making fun of it, lalala, and yeah.

But hey, look how good and DISCIPLINED I turned out, right? =D

And those of you who've never been sent to stand in the corner before... Look how YOU turned out!! XD

Mwahahaha... Don't you wish your mum did the same? =P

Now you know how to discipline your kids in the future ;)

I'm the new addition to Heroes!

2008-10-15T03:20:00.000-07:00

I've just discovered my new superpower...

Well actually, I've discovered it long ago back in secondary school, but it wasn't fully developed yet back then...

I guess with with great age comes great superpower... (Heh? Nevermind.)

Back to the story!

I...

Can...

Write in my sleep!!

Yes! It's absolutely true!

The Rachel can write in her sleep!

No longer does she need to stay awake in class to take down the lecturer's notes...

Isn't that just awesome??

XD

I was in class just now, and halfway through copying down the answers for some question, I just fell into sleep mode.

BUT...

I felt my eyelids opening a liiiiiiittle bit every now and then...

Of course la, my eyes can't see through my eyelids whaaat...

My hand was still holding onto my pen, scribbling what I "saw"...

So yeah, I was "asleep" for probably........five or ten minutes??

Then I woke up and felt totally re-energized and I look at my notes and WOW!

I amaze myself.

XD Hahaha... Sorry, I'm not usually this much of a narcissist.

But hey! It's cool :)

And the awesome awesome part of it all??

(I'm studying accounting, so most of the accounts need columns for the figures to go into...)

All the figures are aligned in their proper columns!! =D

Of course, it's a lot of scribbles and the pen mark trailing off in many places...

But that ain't gonna change the fact that I have superpowers!!

You know you wish you had it too ;)

XD

LOL

S. E. X Gossip!

2008-10-05T18:46:00.000-07:00

In the midst of my exam season...

Denise had this street carnival she was hosting...

So Alex and I went to check out what it was about.

Screw Cost Management, bring on the street carnival!!

At least, that was what I thought..

It was something Gossip... At Asia Cafe, near Taylors Subang..

Then we got there, and the ongoing event for the day was...

A sex forum.

XD Hahaha...

You know, a group of curious teens asking questions and discussing the used-to-be-and-may-still-be taboo topic with some adults in the know..

Yeah.

I learnt that female condoms existed.

Wa-hey! Something new! :)

Betcha didn't know too huh =D

And since it was sponsored by Durex, lubricants were flowing freely...

No that did not sound like how I intended it to be XD

But anyways, we used minty pleasurizing lube as lip balm.

Durex can start a cosmetics line soon =D

And I learnt that if you were to have sex in the car, do not park your car in The Boulevard, where the Malaysian AIDS Organisation Headquarters is.

XD

Oh!! And there's a 'condom' for lesbian lovers...

Yep. A special type of condom for tongues...

You may not find it here in KL but that's okay... You can always substitute it with cut-up normal condom or... CLING WRAP.

Heheh..

Well there were other topics...

Like, how to talk about sex with your parents..

How to be comfortable with the subject...

How to use a condom correctly...

Howtobecarefulwhenrippingthefoilwrapperoffwithyourteethintheheatedmoment...

Much more. =P

And yes... Screwed my Costing exam the very next morning.

But yay!

I learnt about the different forms of rubber! =D

The dude, again.

2008-10-03T17:58:00.000-07:00

Okay, there has obviously been a misunderstanding in my previous post...

I didn't mean that we were gettin freekie in the car, I just said that guys taking their shirts off and going around in only their jeans is hot =D

And there's NOTHING wrong with guys sans their shirts...right??

Nothing wrong with that, so Kim (and Hsiennie), think back to goody goody Rachel again =D

0:-)

Hahhaha... And no, I don't strip in the car, Weng Hoe, thank you very much you wanko =P

Stripping in public is a no-no...

But... I've always wanted to play a stripper at a club for a night XD

You know, dancing, circling the shiny metal pole in the skimpy skirt and then taking it off to just the lacy bra and panties...

Where men shove hundred dollar bills into...

Lol okay that only works for male strippers but whatev... =D

But that'll just be for a night only.

And I'll wear those decorated masks so no one would know it's me. Mwahahahahah.....

Oh well...

Back to reality, there seriously is a sick dude in my neighbourhood.

A few months back I dedicated a post to this sick sick dude in my neighborhood who stole underwear.

I believe it's the same dude again.

The dude struck again.

Lol.

Yeah, so my mum took out the clothes to dry and then left it for awhile...

When she went back she noticed some of them missing and yeah la, how many sickos can one neighborhood be 'blessed' with?

So my mum got reallllllly ticked.

When she catches him, she's reallllllly gonna give him a sounding.

And trust me, when she sounds someone... Har-har-har.

The dude's balls would shrink back into his body.

The dude would lose his sex drive and interests for women and his weird fetish for underwear. Stealing underwear, to be exact.

The dude would probably turn gay.

The dude would... *gasp!* start stealing men's underwear instead!!

Heehee =P

One ordinary night on the road...

2008-09-14T17:34:00.000-07:00

Alright, so I have this thing for men in suits and tuxes.. The smart look's definitely got me wanting to...urm..... Heheh. :D *looks away*

Yeah, so I absolutely prefer a man in suit/shirt than a t-shirt and most girls do too... The dude can have six- or eight packs and great broad shoulders for all I care, but I'd wayyy love looking at the Armani model more :)

But recentlyyy.... I've discovered something sooooo yummy I can't stop thinkin' about it.

We were in the car, my boyfriend and I... It was night time and the roads back to my place weren't all that busy... So I don't know why or how we got to this idea... But I got him to take his shirt off.

XD

Ahahahahahah...

He was in a shirt and a pair of jeans...

And he started un-buttoning his shirt... And when we got to the traffic light, he took off his seatbelt and *swoosh*

Nope, that's not my boyfriend... Just a random picture when I Googled "male models in jeans" XD

Again, no, that's not him either... But it that was, that girl would be me and wow, I have an ah-mayyy-zing body. =P Heh. Just some eye candy for y'all to enjoy ;)

But back to my story... The lights turned green, he strapped the belt back on, pushed the shirt onto my lap and stepped on the accelerator...then turned to flash his ever-there smile at me...

*licks lips*

The moonlight that illuminated the dark sky made his bare chest glow like some ethereal (English-)Greek god...interrupted by intervals of yellow rays from the streetlamps... And that got me oh-so...

*bites bottom lip*

.....................................................................................................

Lol. Well. One thing's obvious, I can't write amorous love stories out. Nor can I get into erotica. XD

Streetlamps??

Seriously?? Hahaha...

Anyway... Can't cerita so much. Hee-hee. =D

I love you, Lex :)

And while we're on the topic of eye candy... Here's one, Tashie! Uh-huh, the picture's small, but you know this very well ;)

Rewards

2008-09-07T17:54:00.000-07:00

Back in February this year, our lecturer promised us that if we alllllllll pass her paper, she'd throw a party for us at her house.

Why her house?

Cos we found out that her house is 'stocked' with enough gadgets to keep a classful of teenagers happy =D

A PS1, PS2 and PS3

An Xbox

And a Nintendo Wii!

All belonging to her husband's and kids', of course =)

So the whole class passed the exam and we finally got to wreck, I mean, visit her house last Saturday...

Su Wei, me, Michelle - miss you two so much!

The three of us, waiting for our turn at the Wii =D

The three of us fell asleep waiting for our turn at the Wii -_-

Kar Hoe dancing to HANNAH MONTANA on the Wii! XD

Watch out, Jonas Brothers, Kar Hoe can trump you guys with his HANNAH MONTANA moves weyh! XD

Fariz and Kar Kien knocking each other out on the Wii... they're umm..boxing :)

Fariz totally trashed Kar Kien at boxing - Fariz, you puasa ke, tak? Not bad for someone who's been fasting the whole day :)

Swimmers

2008-09-02T18:14:00.000-07:00

So I have this very weird theory to share.

(Taken from Wikipedia)

" Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.

Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat, (including game and slaughter by-products), fish (including shellfish and other sea animals) and poultry. "

I know this is a bit crude to be on my child-friendly page, but this means that all vegetarians and vegans can't have oral sex.

XD

Cos then they'd be consuming the little swimmin' sperms. And they're living 'animals' of some sort...

Well, we are animals ourselves, so yes, they can't have blowjobs.

Unless they use a rubber.

Mwahahahahah.....

Lookin' down down down.. :)

2008-08-21T01:29:00.000-07:00

For the past few weeks, I've been going for dance lessons.

Yeah yeah laugh all you want =P

SALSA!!

Well yeah, sure it looks hot and heavy and sexy and passionate in pictures...

But when you're just starting out, it makes you look like a dead log trying to dance!

XD

I'm going for lessons at Salsajay with my hunnybunny XD , Sammie and Jeannie...

(Yes I like to end everyone's names with a '-ny')

Lex -> Lexy
Tash -> Tashie
Sam -> Sammie
Jean -> Jeannie
Dan -> Danny

Can't seem to 'ny' Denise's name though.

Oh well, back to the oh-so-sexy Salsa.

I CAN'T sway my hips very well apparently.

I'm shy.. *blush blush*

=P

So we usually have shines pratices then we move on to our partner-ing practices...

And we rotate partners in the same line...

So for the past two weeks, I've been on the same line with this guy...

And he's like, a pro at this.

(and he can sway better than me XD)

He's this tall, cute dude. TALL.

So everytime I dance with him, he looks down at (short lil') me. And he just stares blankly down at me!!

Maybe it's because he's a pro, he doesn't need to worry about his footwork or his arms(strong arms =P) or anything... But I do!

I have to constantly look down at my feet to make sure they don't trod on him or anything, and everytime I feel that my footwork is going to be fine, I look at the guy and I find him just staring at my face.

His eyes, just looking at me, staring staring staring! And I can't tell the expression, it's like constant non-expression.

AAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was awesome at eye contact but nooooOOOOO!!!!

This guy's like, sleepy eyes, which is pretty adorable, but he just stares and stares and stares as if he mocking me. And his lips are pouty pouty which makes me laugh 'cos I just didn't know what else to do.

I couldn't stare back for more than 5 seconds without a break.

I'm thaaat pathetic.

"STOP IT!!"

Hahaha...

HELPPP!!

Then I start searching for places to look. Looking sideways would make me seem like I don't know what to do...

So I am constantly looking at my feet.

BUT most steps are the close-proximity steps so I can't really look at my feet.

And my eyes are still looking downwards.

So it makes me look like I'm staring at his umm... Staring um..below his waist..between his legs..

MTV & the Olympics

2008-08-17T17:30:00.000-07:00

Last night I was watching the Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan match for the Badminton Singles Men.

The match for the gold medal.

And although Chong Wei got the silver, he is still AH-MAYYYY-ZING...
=)

But what's with the naming system la??

Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei's names are both Chinese, but the first-name-last-name problem alllllways crops up for us.

The surnames are capitalised in the Olympics channels thingy right...

And it was like...

LIN Dan
Chong Wei LEE

Totally made him sound like a girl.

Chong Wei Lee.

It does!!

Anyway... The China supporters were bloody loud, shouting for Lin Dan.

"LIN DAN, JIA YOU!!"

Home support. Pfft..

Wait til they both come to play at Msia, I'll MAKE SURE I'll go there and cheer Lin Dan's ears off with.. err...

"CHONG WEI - BOLEH!!"

Hahaha...

And then maybe hire people to flash and distract Lin and then Chong Wei can finally smash the shuttlecock in Lin's groin like what he did in the semis with the Indonesian guy.

XD

Kesian the Indon player.

Of alllll places to get a shuttlecock smashed into you. =P

Oh well, at least Lee gave Lin a good fight for the gold =)

Yay Chong Wei! :)

That aside...

Allow me to talk and yak and blab about the...

MTV ASIA AWARDS 2008

It was awesome.

From the beginning to the end.

Got on the bus with Denise, Avril, Andre and then met a whole lotta new friends...

Mosh Pitters!! Gotta love them! =D

We were standing at the Red Carpet for about... Three hours?
Yeah.. Waiting and waiting untuk para selebriti sekalian to walk down the Red Carpet. Here comes Jared Leto! (who's actually good-looking in person sans the heavy guyliner) =P

One Republic!!
Man we were singing (screaming) out the words to Apologize (while trying our best to keep the tune XD) and Stop and Stare when they walked down the Red Carpet. Their manager had this o.o look on his face... Yeah, you know you've made it big in Asia :)

That's me trying to be all "ROCK ONNN!!"
Apparently that look doesn't suit me much. XD

Panic at The Disco receiving an award.. For something... I forgot.

I absolutely love One Republic =)

The Click Five performed... AGAIN. Lol!!

I think this would be their FOURTH time in Msia...

The Pussycat Dolls giving out awards... The lucky Phllippino(or was it Indonesian?) band that got to hug them after taking their awards from the Dolls? Got boo-ed by the guys in the Mosh Pit =P

I saved the best for last =)
Ladies and gentlemen, The Script.
That's Danny O'Donaghue on the lead vocals.
An Irish band who totally blew me away with their song, The Man Who Can't Be Moved...
Kinda reminded me of U2's music and Danny kinda looks like JD Fortune of INXS.
Maybe it's the Irish charm, but their songs are good =)

And yeah.
I'm loving their new self-titled album.

Mine! :D

Of instant noodles, tax, and divorce.

2008-07-29T18:39:00.000-07:00

I have been eating a lot of instant noodles.

I mean A LOT.

I don't really know how to measure it but I finished a pack of six in two weeks.

TWO WEEKS!

And I know it's bad...
I know it's got all the MSG stuff and blahblahblahwhatnot...

But it's so yummieee! =D

Haha... So that's gonna take off some months or even years off my life.

But HEY, ya'know what??

My tax lecturer said it's good to die young in Malaysia.

That is, dying young after you retire la..

Something about the pension...

See, Malaysians only receive their pension after they retire, unless they bought annuities before...

Retirees in Malaysia don't receive government financial support unlike some countries like Australia.

Yes.

So, we Malaysians only get our pension, which isn't very much.

So if you lived a very long life, you'd have very little to live on.

That's my lecturer's logic la - "If you die young after you retire, you have less financial problems to worry about."

But then again, you might have children. (Rely on them?? =P)

Or you might have amassed a fortune from when you were working. (Good for you!)

Or you might have your own business / lotsa properties / real estate / shares / cars / wives / husbands(oops!) / etc etc...

OH OH!!

She(my tax lecturer) was telling us a story...

(To explain why we should buy annuities but I'll just skip that part out)

Anyways... There was this wealthy business guy and his pampered wife...

He gave her everything she needed amd wanted and wished and dreamed and.....you get the point.

Luxury cars, a chauffeur, a nice house, $$$ for clothes, manicures, pedicures, yadda yadda yadda...

He pulak drives fancy cars, yadda yadda yadda...

This went on for a while...

All the pampering...

Til one day...

He 'downgraded' everything.

Switched his own big, fancy car for a very modest local car...

Took away his wife's fancy car and the chauffeur, told her to get her own driving license...

No more manicures, no more pedicures...

No more being the pampered wife.

He told her that the company wasn't doing too well...

When in fact, he was getting ready to sign the papers.

Yes.

Cruel.

He 'downgraded' everything and shifted all his assets into other people's names temporarily, all so he didn't have to pay her a large sum of alimony.

Slick, but oh-so-cruel to the unsuspecting naive wife.

So yeah, the divorce came and went.

The wife didn't wanna sign the papers and held on for as long as she could.

Ex-wife had to move out because the mistress shifted in with her new big, fancy car...

La-di-da.

So HERE'S the part I like most.
(The subject matter below isn't accurately word for word, but yeah la, same la..)

After telling the story, my lecturer's like,

"Ha... See, girls? Next time, you better chop off the relationship before things get worse..."

Some girl sitting in front: "No la, chop off his thing!"

LOL

Sweet Seventeen :)

2008-07-22T01:33:00.000-07:00

So yes, I can't seem to stop talking about The Dark Knight movie.. Can I help it?? It's so cool and delish!

Well, Bruce is delish =)

THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILER ALERT!!

ANDDD another thing, notice in all superhero or action hero movies, there's always a girl involved??

And how they always end up being the target or hostage of the hero's arch nemesis??

And the hero always, ALWAYS saves his girl in the nick of time????

Well yeah, same story here, except she dies.

Oh so very tragically.

Rachel aka Bruce Wayne(aka Batman)'s love interest DIES in a BOMB BLAST.

WHY???!!

Why of alllllllllllll the superheroes' girls...

It's the one named Rachel who has to die??

=(

Why so sad wan?

:(

:'(

OKAYYyyy...

Now for something happy :)

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY TASHIE SWEETIE!!

Gosh I miss you so. Darn. Much!!

Can hardly wait for next year's summer break to arrive =)

Although it's always gonna be summer here.. If only we had summer break =D

Mosh Pit!!

2008-07-20T18:24:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, Denise and I entered a club...

Underaged!!

YAYY!!

Hahaha.. Yes yes.. Cheap thrills, I know..
But yeah, Zouk was really cool =)

We were late for the MTV Mosh Pit auditions.. And apparently only the first 300 get the passes..

But there were only about 100 something people in the queue when we got there =D

Annneeeway, we were grouped up in batches of 30..

Then we went into where I think is the Mainroom..(am not sure, never been in there before..)

What we had to do to qualify was to make a lotta noise.. Jump around a lot.. And be a mosh pitter =D

Thing was.. I wasn't thinking properly when I left the house.. I wore HEELS.

Now you can try jumping around in them, but I'll spare you unnecessary pain, potential injuries and save you from looking like a frog jumping on toothpicks.

It hurtsalottt.

And then VJ Utt(used to have the hugest crush on him that I'd watch MTV everyday!!) and DJ Jin from hitz.fm goes on the dancefloor and slaps stickers on you.

Got the sticker slapped on you? Awesome. =D

You're an official MTV Mosh Pitter!! =D

Woohoo!! *punch fists in the air*
*YES YES YES!!!!!*

Man I can't wait for August 2nd!!

Now... On a different matter altogether, is it just me or does Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne bear a striking resemblance to Tom Cruise???

And I won't have to ask because I know that it would be a unanimous YES to the question "Does The Dark Knight reign supreme to the others?"

Wo-ow Batman was good.

And Heath Ledger's The Joker will literally haunt you long after you leave the cinema hall..

Aiiight!! Gotta go back to some Taxation homework. Lol I'm blogging on my classmate's iPhone. It's so cool!! I want one too!! =D

No sex, but seks boleh =D

2008-07-06T18:02:00.000-07:00

One day, plans went horribly wrong, and I was left alone in a mall with hours to spare. I had nothing to do and no one to kacau... So I decided to go watch a movie =)

Isn't this fun? Lol. Yes I know I lead a very sad life.

Anyways, after seeing the line for 'Blockbuster' movies like Hancock and not being able to see where the end of the line was... I settled for The Nanny Diaries featuring Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans. I'd so totally choose that over a Will-Smith-saves-the-world-again movie anyways.

Now the cool thing was... EVERYONE decided to watch the Will-Smith-saves-the-world-again movie... SO I practically had the whole cinema to myself! =D

I could munch on the popcorn as loud and as annoyingly as I wanted...

I could prop my legs up on the seats in front or anywhere I wanted...

I could've snored as loud as I wanted to, or if I snored at all.

I could take off my clothes just for the fun of it if it wasn't the North Pole in the cinema hall.

I could've made love at the back of the cinema hall if I wanted to. If I had a guy with me la. Hee.

Anyways, the point is that it's cool =D

Okay fine, it seemed really nice at that point of time.

The movie was nice. Too lazy to write an ameteurish review of it...

But the movie got Scarlett's character thinking... Who am I?

(Actually, she panicked ran outta the interview room when the interviewer asked her to "Tell me, who are you?")

So then it got me thinking... Who am I?

So allow me to try to answer it.

I am a teenage girl living in KL.

I am a daughter. I am a sister. A sister of a chimp =P (Yes, Adrienne, you, the chimp) Hehee

I am a girl very much in love. A helpless romantic, which Kay Shuen made very clear that she would try to kill us all off.

I am a student.

An accounting student who wishes she could be doing something else like the performing arts instead. She was then told by her elderlys that she would starve trying to act in Malaysia. =(

I am a certified chartered couch potato.

A chartered daydreamer.

I am a rockstar. In my head. (I can't even play the guitar. But hey, all I have to do is scream and shout to rock out. But then again, I have to do that in tune. I'm soooo off-key, it's amazing.)

I am a supermodel. Now that, you definitely know it's in my head.

I....errrr............. *panics and runs outta the room*

Okay. You gotta admit that the 'simple' question is really tough. How can you tell someone about yourself in such little words??

I hate that questions. All interviewers looooove torturing the interviewees with that question.

Anyways, on a different topic altogether, I was watching Beverly Hills 90210 on 8TV...

And Brandon's Dad had a 'talk' about the birds and the bees with his son...

Brandon: "Dad, are you talkin about *bleep*?"

Yeah you can obviously see his mouth mouthing out the word 'sex' but they censored it.

Thing is... They forgot to censor the Malay subtitle's version of it. Hehee

"Adakah ayah cakap tentang seks?"

Or something like that, I am not realllllly sure, but they definitely showed the word 'seks' in the Malay subtitle.

First of all, since when was 'sex' a crude word??

Secondly, please proof-watch the show.

Thirdly...umm... Aiyo, the point I'm trying to say is, you insist on giving us kids sex ed but you can't even let tv shows say the word 'sex'??

HEH??

Weirdo.

"I've got sunshiiiine...in the cold library..."

2008-06-30T18:57:00.001-07:00

Back from all the inactivity!!
=)

What have I been up to?
Absolutely nothing, but my computer at home's suffering from severe technical dysfunction...
Hence the inactivity.

On the bright side, my new semester starts TOMORROW =)
Why is it(waking up at 6 something am and fighting to keep my eyelids open in class) a good thing?

Cos I've been ROTTING and MOULDING and RUSTING at home. Ohhh yes, I've pretty much memorised what's good on tv already.

Monday's tv-time starts at 2pm, when The Ellen Degeneres show is on Starworld... Then there's usually a two-hour Hallmark movie at 3pm but they rarely show good ones, so err, don't bother. Then at 6pm onwards, Starworld's got a line-up of comedy with Family Guy, According To Jim, etc etc... Then later at 9.30pm on 8TV, there's Criminal Minds... Or if you prefer House, it's on at 10pm on AXN. At 11pm, there's good ol' Monk.

Whew. Got that? =) Ready for Tuesday's one?

XD

This cannot be healthy.

(Oh! Oh! I missed out the Mythbusters!! Aiyak. Nevermind. Man I love that show...)

=)

So since my PC at home's busted, I'm typing away in the college library. The freezing cold library...

Why am I in college a day before my classes start?

Cos I'm a geek like that.

Hee.

Okay, I'm gonna be emcee-ing the new July intake students' college orientation at noon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

They want me to help them feel comfy here. They want me to emcee. They are giving me the microphone!!!

*jeng jeng jeng!!!*

"'Cos this is thrillerrrrr, thriller night.. And no one's gonna save you from lalalalala..."

(Don't know the words. Heheh.)

But that's okay!

I just hope I don't trip and fall flat on face.

But then I can get 'corrective' surgery and get a nicer nose like... Like... Erm. Whose nose is nice? I don't know.

That's it! I need to get out to the Sun before I freeze and they take my body away for cryonics R&D purposes.

Byeee!
=)

Rust.

2008-06-12T23:20:00.000-07:00

Weird.

I'm not squeamish about blood but I cannot stand rust.

Yep, rust. Karat. Rotten metal. The oxidization of iron/ferum/whatever it is we learnt in that Redox chapter in Chemistry Form 5.

I try my best to avoid touching rusted stuff and I absolutely loathe the smell of rust. It kinda smells metallic, like blood but it's just yuck. I know, how do you smell rust right? Hehe... Maybe it was just a figment of my imagination... But it is yuck. YuckyuckyuckyuckYUCK.

I cringe every time I have to touch something rusty. A rusty chain/door grill/lock/rod/railings/etc etc...

I try to stay away from it, but ah... How lucky it is to have a backdoor of metal grilles that was installed many, many years ago and is now rusted (and still rusting??) due to the Redox reaction between the metal and the hot and humid environment.

So when I do have to be in contact with something rusty, I get it over and done with as fast as I can.

Then wash my hands two hundred and two times.

I love plastic =)

Remember...?

Starworld is never gonna stop showing re-runs of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

But I don't care, I still watch them.

And I still laugh at the funny parts(which is, almost the entire show's length).

Watching these old episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S remind me of my favorite tv shows which have since, stopped running =(

Remember Charmed, where Prue, Piper, Phoebe and then Paige kicked demon-butts? And there were yummy eye-candy to look at - good guys like Piper's husband, Leo and awesomely hot demons like the one played by Julian McMahon... *swoon*

Remember Kopitiam? Almost like the Malaysian equivalent of F.R.I.E.N.D.S... Kopitiam had the ensemble of the top Malaysian comedians, with Mano Maniam, Joanna Bessey, Rashid Salleh, and my fav, Douglas Lim =)

Remember when Survivor was still interesting (and host Jeff Probst was still cute) ? Teehee.
It took me so long to finally ask my mum what "tally up the votes" meant. Count? Oh. XD

Remember Two Guys, A Girl & A Pizza Place? Ryan Reynolds.. =) =) =)

Remember Gilmore Girls? How Rory and Lorelai seem to be able to spit out amazing wit and reply amazingly witty replies at amazingly break-neck speed?? I loved that. And I love Rory's on-screen boyfriends too. XD

Remember Relic Hunter? Relic hunter Sydney Fox who could kick butt in her leather pants together with her assistant, oh-so-adorable Nigel =)

Remember Ed? The frustratingly interesting on-and-off relationship between the bowling alley lawyer Ed and school teacher Carol? And then there was Phil, almost-a-robot Shirley and the always-gushing Warren...
This show always, always leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy =)

I miss these shows... :)

And it is quite obvious by now that there is a pattern in all my fav shows... There's always good-lookin guys to swoon over =D

Then again, all tv shows have nice eye candy. Right? Right.

*Googles Julian McMahon*

Why I wake up early on Tuesday..

2008-06-09T15:13:00.000-07:00

I am on HOLIDAY!!

=D

Well, yeah. Semester break. For a whole month =)

My finals just ended and I swear time is going by so quickly!!

I spent five months in college already??

I was talking to Lex some time back, and he's like "Yeah... Time flies by in college. I personally blame the air-conditioning."

XD

Okay, so after feeling mopey about being extremely sure I did terribly on one paper, I went home and spent HOURS Facebooking.

I need a life.

Anyway........ On Saturday I went for The Click Five in Genting's Arena of Stars... The whole day I was singing Air Supply's "Out Of Nothing At All" and "All Out Of Love" out loud. At home, in the car, in the hotel lobby, etc...

WHO WANTS TO GO WATCH AIR SUPPLY WITH ME ON JUNE 22nd??
=D

Oooh... And while we(my mum, sis, Lex and I) were waiting(a long time) for my Dad to meet us at the hotel lobby (which we later found out why he took soooooo long to get there- he went for a round at the casino tables first. =_= )...

We saw the band members of the Click Five walking in and out of the lobby! Yay!

Okay, never mind that. Nothing interesting actually happened.

Except that we spotted a Kyle Patrick lookalike in the crowd before the concert started. And seriously, wow, he looked and dressed like Kyle Patrick (the lead vocalist of The Click Five)... There were girls going up to him asking for pictures... I bet he musta been so flattered. Even Denise and I were tempted to go ask him for fun XD

On a different note altogether, I watched an episode of NTV7's Breakfast Show and..... The show reminded me about how CUUUTE Jonathan Putra is!!

I've never watched the Breakfast Show before until now, mainly because I leave for class really early in the morning or I don't wake up at all until noon. =D

Anyways, I've seen Jonathan Putra aka JP before... But I don't know why, nowwwww it dawns on me that he has such a cute cute cuuuuuute smile.

Whee.

Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra Jonathan Putra

I feel like I'm on my way to becoming a groupie. Except he's not a band. And he doesn't throw gigs for me the groupie to hang out backstage.

=D

I should probably stop now, but I'm having oh-so-much fun waking up early Tuesday morning for the Breakfast Show =)

Of Accounting and Love Songs...

2008-06-01T09:06:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I was feeling like the President of the KickStupidGuys'Asses Club in my previous post.

But for the past few days I've been listening to the bubblegum pop-rock songs of the Click Five.. (I miss Eric Dill..)

And that I Think We're Alone Now song by Tiffany and The Click Five's cover of it. Ooh!! Eric sounds sooo hot singing it! *blush*blush*

(No, I can't actually blush...I think. Heheh)

And now I'm listening to the radio, which, for the past few hours have been playing ballads like Rod Stewart's For The First Time and Dan Fogelberg's Longer...

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you...

Yeeeeeah. The song David Archuleta sang.

And yeeeeah.
You cannot NOT go all soft and mushy inside after listening to all that goodness and love.
=)

Absence does make the heart grow fonder...
I miss you so much, Lex...
*I would pull a pout online if I could*

I can't wait 'til our final exams are outta the way. =)

June 6th, baby!! Whoo!! And after that it's 3 weeks of waiting for the next semester to start again. Lol.

And I should be studying right now... But uh, *grin*
I got bored of reading about annuities and perpetuities and all that costing jargon.

I should probably get back to it now.
And refrain from the computer and the tv until after the last paper is over. When I'm feelin all depressed and certain that I got a major part of the paper screwed up badly. Whoopie.

Alright, until after my finals, people-who-read-my-blog! =)
Hehe... I lup u all, boiz n gerls! =)

Ooh! And I'm going for the Click Five's concert in the Arena of Stars in Genting =D

Free tickets. The cheapest ones, but whatever, I ain't paying anything to watch them AGAIN.

I've watched them play for the Quiksilver Revolution Tour here back in 2006, when Eric Dill was still in the band..

I watched them play again, last year, when the band minus Eric plus Kyle Patrick did a show in Hard Rock KL...

Nowwwwww I'll be watching them play for the THIRD TIME. In Genting's Arena of Stars. (The place where a lotta old singers like Sir Cliff Richard and Lobo and The Osmonds perform. XD )

I mean, how many times do they wanna come la?

I think that's a record only rivaled by Westlife. XD
Hahaha... I remember going for alllllll their concerts; I was such a huge fan.
Puberty hadn't really hit me yet back then but I already had the hots for Shane. Hee.

Lalala...

And here's a fun!fun!fun! song that I reeeally think defines all our younger teenage days secret love relationships... =P Y'know, when we're hiding it from our parents cos they wouldn't let us go dating at 13. Lol.
Tell me what you think of it!

*wink*

Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're

Running just as fast as we can
Holdin on to one another's hand
Tryin to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think were alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what were doin
cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're

Running just as fast as we can
Holdin on to one another's hand
Tryin to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound.
