our merry little christmas

Tze horng and Deidre threw a lovely christmas dinner today.

Everyone donned festive attire (reindeer antlers and santa hats included). the table was set to perfection! dede's brother is a perfectionist! so adorable.

The meal was all the things a festive dinner should be; homely comfort food, loaded with carbs (the chicken was roasted with TWO sticks of butter!) (haha the secret is out), and most important, abundant. tze horng did a really good job.

my compliments to the chef!

then we sang carols, discussed philosophies, exchanged gifts, all very merry stuff

it was the only time i had the "christmas" mood this year.

our flight back from Singapore

we got a little carried away in Changi airport doing lord knows what.

then we were so close to missing our flights, we ran like mad. i now know how those people in the amazing race feel.

we were so relieved to board the plane (and exhausted) that all of jean's flying anxiety was gone.we still felt like dancing.

haha she's one fun person to fly with :)

best things in life are free

last Saturday (11th dec, something good always happens on the 11th, you'll see) i was on a beach, drenched in sweat, thirsty and aching all over while dodging torsos and limbs in a massive crowd but still managing have the time of my life! with glow sticks and electric blue hair extensions!

yeap, last week i was in Singapore for Zoukout with two of my best girlfriends, u jean and melly, i couldn't have gone with anyone better :)

Zoukout was 10 hours of non-stop head bobbing house and techno heaven, my ears were so spoiled, in the good way of course.

Tiesto was really the only dj i was looking forward to, and apparently everyone else too, it was so packed when he was spinning i had to tip toe just to catch a breath, but it was worth it!

David Guetta was there too, he played until the sun came up, literally. hmm who else, oh a whole bunch of other great djs la, most of them i didn't know about until vincent was telling us the next day, wasted :|

the whole rave was an awesome experience; the next morning, not so much hahah catching a cab was impossible!

but then again it was funny seeing all the other people in beach wear sleeping/passed out/looking like zombies among the morning crowd on the train.

the rest of our trip was well like this; sleep, mos burger, barbra streisand, dancing on Orchard road, more sleep, MRTs, late for flight, panic, not late for flight after all, relief

them crazies

P.s. big thanks to tongue in chic for the complimentary passes. we deserved it :) haha

Kings of Convenience on my mind

the girls and i had a 'getaway' at my apartment since the nearest beach* was at least an hour away, driving that far defeats the purpose of a having a 100% stress-free day.

objectives of the day: tan lines!; forget about work (applies for melly only la); girly bonding time

i really love the sun, honestly thats the best thing about Malaysia. i love Malaysia!

anyways we discovered 4-5pm is the best time to sunbath. the sun isn't too hot but warm enough, while the breeze cools you down when it gets too warm. mmm yes i do love Malaysia

*and by beach i mean one of those yuck beaches with dirty muddy sand that cuts your feet cause of the rubbish in it and sticky disgusting water. so no thank you. come to think of it, i kinda miss Australia. oh i love you too!

poker night

the guy mending the shisha store had an afro!

i made 3bucks that night, not bad for my first try hahah

started my day (3pm) with a cup of cereal and milk, completed the whole exercise program on the treadmill (without reducing the speed :) (long lean muscles baby!) and now i'm painting my nails muddy grey while listening to Kaskade and Jamiroquai. man i am loving the holidays!

my last paper ended exactly a week ago, and it has been non-stop awesome so far. post-exam partying, photo shoots for fuzzy logic, a failed surprise party, catching up on girly time with my bffs plus Deidre just got back from Singapore! :D

alright ttfn, theres a D700 at home that i intend to get to know better :)

3am nonsense

it's a vicious cycle, this thing/guy.

how does a person go from hot to butt ugly to ok to what were you thinking and right back to hot! haha i don't know man, but it sure is making life more interesting :)

breathe in - frou frou

yes i've resorted to using songs as titles. :\

my favourite union jack ring has been missing for more than 48hours, and if i've not mistaken from watching all that crime genre tv shows, it's time to panic. *hyperventilate

have you seen this ring?

we had so much fun together. haha remember when you were slipping off my finger and shrimphead guy saved ya.

yea you mean the world to me, the other rings were so jealous.

oh look! that's us at calvin harris, good times buddy, good times

i need a few minutes of silence right now. ttfn

it's my second night here and i'm beginning to feel really bored and a wee bit lonely. i don't know how jill manages, i for one am sick of 'me time'.

but then again, today has been very productive revision wise.

omg i need to go out! i need to yamcha with melly and ujean! Ooo facebook notification! ugh my neighbour is so noisy!

i'll be camping out hobo style at the condo for the next few weeks in preparation for the big one.

the library is just too distracting, the noise, the smells, the hot indie guy that just mess up my ability to concentrate on financial management, damn it! i'm gonna talk to him one day

this feels nice, living on my own. hahah it's only been what, like 5 hours. but yes, if feels good.

i love this place, it's got a cool breeze at night and a cozy bistro downstairs.

heres hoping this works out :)

i'm really worried about this semester, lord know how many panic attacks i had!

alright, back to the books, ta!

have a great weekend and happy birthday chee zhen!

one more for the collection

got these beauties when i was in Singapore with jocelyn and fiona. it was the first thing i saw in the store, and i wouldn't let go of em' the whole time we were there.

i remember trying them on with deidre earlier before it was on sale, and sighing over the price tag. but lucky me they're were on sale in Singapore, plus they were the last pair.

so you know that's a sign.

haaa i love them so much.

went to wondermilk jillian for tea. love that place, good food, good music and an interior that brings me back to one of those eclectic cafes at St. Kilda.

had a great time bonding with jill over smores, passion fruit sodas and the best fries around. it was all good til we got to the car. i know double parking is normal and all, especially in uptown. but damn it this bitch today really takes the cake. yea it was nice of you to leave your phone number, but for pete's sake pick up the fucking phone! and at least have the decency to apologize and not take your own fucking time to walk to the car, load that shit ugly bag of yours, and move your fucking car before i ram it down! bitch

pardon my language

bras basah

in a completely unrelated note, the weather today is just lovely. it's been raining a lot the past few days, which made me real moody. but not today!

went to 69 Bistro at the damansara perdana (pretty awesome hangout spot, took some pictures with melly's neo. i'll share it later) to study for my finals which is in a months' time.

wish me luck :)

i'm giving my room a new look :)

drawing inspiration from birds and Moroccan mint tea (does that make any sense?)

i'd make an inspiration board if my photoshop hadn't stop working ehhem trial expired

anyhoos, i can't wait to scout around for junk!

on second thought, maybe i should have gone for the darker green

i was feeling a little unconventional and a wee bit bloated

i love my dress!

ready for the weekend

earlier this month, Calvin "i created disco" Harris was in town.

melissa and i HAD to go. HAD TO!

we really love his music, plus it didn't hurt that he's quite a looker

manage to get pass Zouk's security, no fake ids needed (although we did had some prepared ;p). guess we kinda look 21 and above.

the place was packed! not surprised, he played some pretty sick beats! (he did a remix of sweet disposition by temper trap :D and one more time by daft punk, old school yo!)

vy yin looking so fly in melly's blinged out shades

so we went outside for some air after his gig right. Lapsap was playing now (they were good man!)

and guess what! oh go ahead guess!

yeap we met him! he was just standing there alone, doing nothing, ok probably waiting for someone but yea we did! so cool

funny thing tho, i don't remember what he said. all i remember is thinking "gosh he's so tall, and he smell so good!". (but in retrospect, anyone who didn't smell like cigarettes at that time would have smelled good too)

*we took pictures together too! but vy yin and i both agree that he looks like a creep in those pictures HAHA! so i'm not posting them

that was some awesome night! to think that all this time melly and i were looking for clubs that played his songs. here we had the man himself =]

p.s. big thanks to melly's super cool aunt for the invite!

ten shades of red

i feel really embarrassed now looking back at how immature i was towards my lecturer last year.

i'm soooo sorry. (for calling you a manbitch behind your back)(and an idiot right in front of you. not proud of it) oy vey!

i was young, stupid. hahah my bangs were so long that you couldn't see my eyes, and i thought that was cool! hello pimples haha!

and i listened to depressing songs from Archive. well ok i still do, they're good la! =]

it's deidre's birthday today!

God i miss her so much, i feel like crying.

why you gotta move to singapore! sure they have really beautiful buildings (seriously, i love all the places you brought me to. the national museum, stunning.)and they get awesome bands to perform there. BUT they have terrible food! and crossing the road is a bitch =[ hahah

oh well, still i hope you have a very happy birthday! you deserve it you nut!

love you loads bestie =]

*oh and the people there live in flats. eww

lomographied

Lightroom 3 is a godsend :D

been playing around with the melbourne pictures lately and i've came to two conclusion:

a) i want to go back to melbourne and b) i NEED a big ass dslr, maybe a D90 i heard it's cheaper now. oh and that adorable 10.5mm fisheye lens. Thats right! i've been bitten by the shutter bug! There's no going back man, compact cameras suck!

14's good too

happy 18th birthday KELLY KOK!

you are one pain in the ass passenger to drive around but i love you! you little girl! oh wait WOMAN!
