The LockUp Aiya my hair sucks now wtf. Since I have no new pictures to post up, Imma blog about some of the stuff that we did in Japan but I never got around to writing about! Actually I dunno why I blogged so little while I was there.  I think I only wrote about half our outings and posted like 5 pictures per outing only. This is me and Angela nearly 2 years ago.  Told you I had no eyebrows.  And no makeup from the looks of it although I really was wearing some (what a waste wtf) This is Kyoto (or part of it) So anyway, one Friday after school we were loitering around Shijo when we decided to give this restaurant we’d always walked by but never went to before a try. So we gathered a bunch of friends.  Ya people from Associated Kyoto Program very gung ho and united wan wtf. Clockwise from bottom left: Ayumi, Ruby, me, Christine, Angie and Kelsey. The restaurant is called The Lock Up wtf. It’s a themed restaurant!  And the theme is prison, obviously. So the whole outside looks like the facade of a prison.  And when the group of you go in, a Japanese girl dressed in a police uniform with thigh high boots and handcuffs /huhu wtf tells you you are under arrest wtf and handcuffs one of your group and takes you to your ‘cell’. This is the entrance.  Sorry no picture of hot girl in police uniform dunno why we didn’t take! More of the entrance.  In typical Japanese style, we had to leave our shoes at the door. And your cell is where you sit to have your dinner! The cell wtf.  That’s Kelsey and Ruby. And Neal and Morgan. And us. Ooooo someone died in here wtf. More ambience shots. Then halfway while we were eating dinner, the lights started flashing and the alarm went crazy! Then someone shouted “escaped prisoner!” =.= Then someone in a Chucky mask came in and ran around our cell while police ran after him and shot at him with toy guns to stop him. =.= Chuckie running behind JJ.  He’s carrying a light saber too =.= Quite stupid la the fight scene between the cops and Chucky the Criminal.  Some more the alarm so loud it was very hard trying to close my ears and eat at the same time wtf. I was quite relieved when Chucky finally died and the police dragged him out wtf. Lock Trey up better no need to disturb me anymore wtf.  No la I miss him actually he’s in Kentucky or something (eating KFC WTF) nono I mean doing his Masters. Me and Christine!  Who’s working in Hong Kong now There you go my first ever restaurant review.  Which wasn’t very review-like also I don’t remember anything about the food wtf and I never understand why people want to take photos of their food it’s only going to come out in one color and shape anyway wtf. Shorty *AudUpdate: I hate waiting!!!!!  I hate the rain!!!! I hate it when my nail polish dries up!!! I hate Vivi October issue for not downloading faster!!! I went in meaning to get a trim and get my hair back into shape. Jam and Suet were still trying to get me to cut short!  Jam kept chanting “cut short cut short” and they shoved hair magazines in my face wtf. At first I held my ground and told  Raymond “never mind I just want to trim” But then I saw a lot of pictures of nice shorter haircuts and I started wavering why am I so easily persuaded! Apparently, the last time I got my hair cut also I already told him the next time I come in I will cut short!  I don’t remember this at all but after he said that it sounded familiar wtf. So I said ok la just cut short la wtf and found a picture for him which I liked. But I was really quite scared ok!  Cos I said it impulsively and after that I found it really hard to breathe and had to suck in great lungfuls of air before I could say “eh I’m quite scared la” wtf. But Suet kept saying “hair grows” as though I dunno!  I know it grows la ok but what am I going to do in the meantime?  Look like shit wtf T_T I think they should just get together with the hairstylist to form a UN diplomatic mission la wtf so persuasive can persuade Osama to come out of his cave wtf. Cut already!  I kept saying “eh my hair so short now” and they said “no difference also” aih. Looking very worried. Jam playing hairstylist! I have no idea how to repeat the miracle that is them blowing my hair into so nicely! They blew it into huge curls, then turned on the dryer again and blasted my hair with it again and when my hair settled it was messy and tousled and wavy very nice! The back. Suet took so many pictures for me! Trying to decide if I liked it.  I was not crying ok wtf my eyes are red cos I think I edited this picture wrong wtf. While the other two were doing this wtf. Ok I guess it doesn’t look that short but it is when your hair used to go all the way down to your waist! More pictures to emphasize wtf. I like my hair la!  But I am very worried that I won’t know how to style it and will end up looking like a 10 year old and get called midget even more T_T And I miss my long curls T_T I picked up one of Suet’s locks and sighed wtf. Then today I was watching a Jolin video and stared at her long hair in envy wtf. As you can see, i was playing with the colors and I have no creative talent. This is after my hair settled down a bit not so puffy already when first blow I looked like I was from the 60s wtf. Now you know my toothpaste brand wtf. Side view of settled hair. Quite a lot of difference in terms of length no meh!  But idiot guys  cannot tell wan la ok. I went out with Eng and Skin and George today.  Then I told Eng that I cut my hair yesterday and he didn’t say anything wtf. Then later I told Skin and he just said “oh really?” Then later on I came home (and my MSN nickname was “princess aud is short hair aud”) and Skin messaged me and said “eh you cut your hair?” WTF Then Darren (who insists he is the original Darren not Yeff wtf) asked to see a picture of my hair so I sent it to him and he said NO DIFFERENCE wtf but then after that he said it’s nicer but when I said “I thought you said no difference” he said “ya” WTF WHY LIKE THIS WAN GUYS! So listen girls, no point asking your boyfriends to look at your hair also because you are just wasting your breath wtf. Money money money I got my first paycheck And I dunno what to do with it Actually I do wtf. Tomorrow I’m going to go get a haircut!  And touch up my roots! And then maybe a manicure! And then go shopping do you know how many pretty Ah Lian shops I have walked past these last few months and not bought anything I cannot wait T____________T Anyway I was looking through Angela’s photo album. And I realized that there are maybe like 1o albums of pictures of us in Japan that she never sent to me!  (and some that she sent to me but I have no idea where I saved them T3T) So I painstakingly printscreened a few of them - mostly purikura cos I felt like doing a purikura post. Angie - can you please put all the Japan pictures into a CD and send to me please please please T3T No wonder when I looked at my own albums I thought I didn’t have many memories in Japan WTF Us in our early days in Kyoto.  Angela is as pretty as usual but I look so different!  Like a boy!  Dressing up in his sister’s clothes!  (i.e. like Ooib WTF) Must be the damn haircut.  Suet was right when she said I had terrible hair sigh. And maybe I didn’t use to put on so much makeup either. (Where are my eyebrows 5555 wtf) Look at the pretty effects! This was our favorite machine.  You could take like 10 pictures of yourself in a row and fit them all into one sticker. With Jon, Trey and Neal.  Wah Neal used to be thinner in the beginning lor wtf.  And Trey is giving me a noogie why is he like this T3T (actually he looks like a ghost here so “kuai lou” is very apt wtf wtf) Christine, Takeshi and Masato. Oh Masato (far right) might be coming end of the year I love it when people come to KL (Hi Angie *hint wtf) At a 100 yen per sushi plate restaurant in Osaka. Seriously why was I so dark last time.  Did I not know how to shade myself from the sun wtf. Thank god I wised up before we went to Koh Samui.  Yes I confess that when we were in Japan, we also flew to Thailand for spring break. (the Angry White Men wanted to go to a nice beach) Now I can say it out loud because my parents finally found out WTF. Didn’t tell them I went to Thailand because they would be like “why fly all the way to Thailand but don’t want to come home” (Also I think at that time there were terrorist bombings in Bangkok wtf) Anyway, story for another day maybe next post imma blog openly about it wtf. The first time we got extensions. More purikura in Extension Era. I think I’ve posted these up before but never mind. Taken back when our nihongo still sucked and our stock phrase was “すみません日本人じゃないんだけど” wtf (”sorry we’re not Japanese”) so store keepers wouldnt think we were retards wtf. Look at my long hair how am I supposed to cut it short now T_T P/S: IM GOING TO TAKE THE SHOT FOR CERVICAL CANCER TOMORROW FUCK THIS SHIT I DAMN SCARED ANGELA SAID VERY PAINFUL WAN HOW AR HOW AR Boom shaka laka wtf So yesterday Darren had a free ticket to watch Babylon so I happily agreed to follow. We were a bit late going to the movie because I went to KLIA first to send Ooib off:( (byebye Ooib have fun in Illinois wtf and Germany!) So we went in when the movie had already been running for 15 minutes and the theater was all dark. It was damn dark!  So I flipped open my phone to help me look where I was going. Cos Darren la went in front of me already not much help there wtf. So I vaguely saw what looked like blurry shapes where I thought the steps were. But while I was stepping out with my foot I suddenly had a feeling that I was going to fall! But I dunno why I cannot stop my foot from moving!  And I was also thinking aiya I cannot see anything anyway just take a risk la fall ma fall la wtf. So I fell. DUSH damn loud ok wtf.  Fell on my ass and crushed my feet and ankles below me T________T  And my shoes flew somewhere too wtf. Then Darren was rushing to me saying “eh sorry sorry didn’t wait for you” wtf and picked me up T________T But dunno why I had trouble putting on my shoes wtf and in the end just hobbled barefoot to my seat aihhh T_______T So now I am the proud owner of a bruised right heel (wah when I got up from my bed this morning I nearly fell down wtf cos damn painful to stand on my right foot T_T) and a bruised and scratched left ankle aih. Oh ya after the movie we met up with everyone else and apparently my fall was so loud that  Natasha sitting on the other side of the the cinema said “Eh Panties it was you who fell down ar so loud you know the sound!” (Ya her nickname for me is Panties but that’s a story for another day wtf) Apparently she saw someone come in with their phone light on and then she heard a loud BOOM wtf and the phone light went off before coming back on hahahahaha why so dramatic Ya so the story of my life told before I go downstairs and get more medicine to rub on my bruises. I’m wearing sneakers to work tomorrow. Happiness is a new haircut Completely flighty post up ahead. Ok I want to cut my hair and I’ve been thinking about this for ages. Actually I don’t want to cut my hair. No I want to. See what I mean! Okay I want to cut my hair because: a) I have had long hair for 2-3 years already (even when my hair was shorter I had extensions so it’s still considered long ok wtf) and I feel like a change b) MY HAIR SUCKS LA OK dye and curl every day until its fried and dead wtf. You know in tv commercials when they show girls whose hair look like twigs before they put on the conditioner wtf. Mine looks like that! Even without computer graphics wtf. Trim also no use deep condition or hair masque or serum also no use. Ironically the only time it looks healthy is when I curl it (cos cannot see) but then how can I keep curling everyday it will die even more sigh vicious cycle. So I was looking around for short styles to cut! When I say short I mean between ears to shoulder. Something like this!  Ok not this cut, but something around this length.  I think when Angela first cut her hair it looked like this a bit. Like this!  I really really like this haircut but Suet says it’s not nice and Mummy Ooi says its too oldfashioned wtf. She says this one nicer.  But I swear to god I’ll look like an idiot with this haircut.  A six year old idiot wtf. But then I flipped through more pages and I remembered all the styles I can do my long hair up into! AIHH what am I to do! If I cut means I cannot braid it, or bun it up, or straighten or whatever! But but it’s like dead hair anyway now… HAIH I DUNNO what do you think! Hello, It’s Me ! Guess who is still alive?!?  DENG DENG DENG IT’S MEEEE !!! *grand entrance wtf wtf who is this IT’S ANGIE !!!! Hello! Because Audrey is still busy with her manual labor, I’m going to write this entry /boo This entry’s purpose is to let everyone know that we are still each other’s soulmate/best friend/closest friend/BOA friend (best of all wtf)/ex roommate/future apartment mate/bridesmaid/travel buddy/sister/world/universe/milk and cereal/ apple and strawberry/McDonald fries and coke/whatever. Don’t look down on our friendship ar! It’s never going to change EVERRR!!! Fuck distance, fuck uncertainties! We can do this! (borrowing Suet’s quote wtf) Ok emoness starts. All my summers were without Audrey but this summer just seems so different because when September comes, I will still stay here in Vancouver as she will be in Malaysia. It has been months since we both sat in that Ham shower room, crying those last tears, saying irrelevant things, playing with our toes, making promises….I thought we made it clear that it was good bye, but it’s still so hard to believe that we won’t be meeting at the airport, screaming when we see each other, and talking surprisingly loud because of excitement It’s still hard to believe that I will never again, SIGH, be able to be with her 24/7 for 3 months, tuck each other into bed, eat lunch/dinner together wearing PJ, laugh at the same silly jokes over and over again (eg, Jeannie’s picture or Mild’s mis-buttoned jacket), or simply just go shopping linking arms. Seriously, I cannot imagine not to go shopping w/ Audrey again. For the past 4 years, I hated going back to Mt. Holyoke whenever the summer ends. But right now, I honestly wish I can go back for even just one more semester to resume those mid-night talks on our beds, those times when we put on make up infront of the best mirror in the world, and those moments when we got damn shy and hid into our blankets. *BIG SIGH. Oh, and how can I forget the nights when we were both so pathetic, lying on our beds, sobbing on our telephones, then bringing tissues to wipe tears for each other. I enjoyed our emo times together: This is in Japan. That day we decided to dress emo and take purikura wtf Haha, and those times when we went Karaoke and sang the same song CONTINUOUSLY for many hours wtf just so we could record the best round and admire later wtf. We would treat it damn seriously as though it’s a national competition, we would sing standing up and praise each other for each good tone. Notice at the bottom of the picture, me and Aud acted as fans and cheered wtf Actually, we praise each other for everything. We always think each other’s jokes are the best while others have to tickle themselves to giggle a little. And we always think each other’s remarks are the smartest (umm, actually I doubt some of Audrey’s la, like “In my opinion, I think when a country is rich, its people will be happy.” Captain obvious wtf). And if anything goes wrong, we go through it together : I believe I can always find another best friend, another roommate, another travel buddy…etc But seriously, I cannot find another unique combination like me and Audrey SIGH. Those were the days my friend, we thought they never end.  But what can we do, it already ended wtf let me just move on and talk about my life a bit wtfwtf Well, so I’m back in Vancouver and this is home! =D My plan is to work a bit, hopefully also travel a bit before my life is all about work or school, and then I will return to the States again for grad. Aiya lazy to write already, let me just post some recent pictures and finish this wtf.  Graduation T_______T But after this, I get to go home and see my dog /boo This is Coco and my other dog Baby : Aud gave me for birthday gift /boo And this is me driving my car, tell me I’m damn cool : Oh, and I had this garage sale T3T But even I sold my clothes for 4 for $1 also no one will buy cuz all the people who came were all alot older and my clothes are too small for whites. So the only time I made money was when kids came and their parents bought my clothes for them. Sigh, and by kids I mean 7 or 9ish T3T I always know I’m short la but I thought at least I dress mature wtf So below is a picture when I was being sad cuz no one buys my stuff : This is me and my best friend Esther at a BBQ party! and I got damn serious sun burn from it T3T I thought I got skin cancer WTF This is me and my other best friend Annie at the beach waiting for the annual fireworks competition. Canada won this year ! Usually it’s always China because China always damn competitive when it comes to international competitions wtf This year they lost ! I think it’s because they spent all their money on the Olympics wtf. (instead of saving dying rural people wtf) There really isn’t much to do in Vancouver Except for shopping and go to a bubble tea shop to drink/eat and chat This is Coco’s 3-year-old birthday /boo I gave her that huge bone for gift /boo And just in case anyone wonders about Jerry wtf He is fine .. as you can see Sigh. The other day my mom wore my clothes and made me take pictures for her around my house. This is when I realized that my photography skills are so good *shameless wtf I want to go buy one of those pro cameras But all so expensive sigh This picture she damndamn looks like me right ? And as for myself, I now do some modeling for professional photoshoots/boo I get professional make up artist also /boo I lost alot of weight also. Guess how much I weight now. 39kg ! Can die already wtf  So my mom started making me drink this Chinese medicine to I duno do what, she said “adjust my body quality” wtf. And the day b4 yesterday I went for another shoot ! This time I am Geisha wtf This is the geisha make up. It’s supposed to be a modern/casual geisha wtf so doesn’t have the white face paint. and I haven’t recieve pictures for this shoot yet. And this is my new black hair ! And I miss Audrey Ooi Feng Ling T___________T 9 to 5 Ever since work started, there hasn’t been enough hours in the day! I actually work in a sweatshop hand sewing clothes for the North American market wtf. The hours are really long  so I have no time to do anything much other than come home, eat, watch a bit of tv and sleep how glam wtf. Plus it’s a very hush hush operation because the labels actually say Made in Indonesia instead of Malaysia wtf wtf so I cannot tell anyone what I am doing WTF. NO LA I don’t sew clothes to sell.  I screw on caps on tubes of toothpaste instead wtf wtf. I like what I do but I make a lot of mistakes T___________T Like screw on the wrong caps on the wrong tubes wtf. Honestly I am not a person who pays a lot of attention to detail.  So this is quite a challenge for me to start focusing on the stuff that are small but do matter. Force my brain to work in a whole different way sigh.  I guess it can be cultivated la since I got myself used to being so careful with Add Maths but when I first started it I nearly failed wtf damn a lot of stupid mistakes. Aih just let me improve faster la god *prays Anyway, working has made me SO appreciative of my weekends! I now long for days where I can wake up and not have to get ready, and just lounge around in tshirt and shorts and go yamcha without makeup on. I don’t think I’ve ever gone out without makeup on (aih low self esteem la wtf) so on Sunday when I went out for a drink with Skin and Eng they asked me like at least three times (each) “Eh you not wearing makeup ar?” “No.” “Oh ok” *keeps staring “Eh you not wearing makeup right?” WTF. Anyway pikshurs from photoshoot! Don’t really like the pictures of me wearing the cap. But Ooib looks like a complete tool here HAHAHAHAHAHAH LOOK AT HIS GRIN Couple picture #1 Couple pic #2 Hate my eyebrows T_T I guess the Shu Uemura guy was right when he said I need RM30 to trim my brows T_T I love this picture of me and Suet we both look so tall and the background is so pink /boo Me and Ooib.  Feel quite bad for him because the photographer kept forcing him to smile (something he doesn’t do much wtf) and he ends up looking like he wants to eat her camera for breakfast wtf. Family photo I look very serene and gentle here.  Mother thinks so too because she said this is “nice for a change” and chose this photo. Dude where’s my car God I am a bunch of nerves! Today was my first day driving to work (after a week of being dropped off and picked up by the Parents Ooi) No problems while driving! But then when I parked and got out of my car I realized I’d parked in TWO spots wtf. At that time I just walked off nonchalantly off (because I didn’t want to seem too worked up WTF how does my mind work I dunno) But now I can’t get my mind off it! What if someone gets angry at me (Monday morning blues) for taking up two spaces and runs his car keys along the side of my car wtf. I talked to my friend who works in the same building and he told me he couldn’t even get parking today so he had to park beside the road wtf god knows how many other angry workers were forced to do that too! I went down to shift my car just now but it was raining (outdoor parking don’t expect me to run in the rain to save my car wtf) But now I can’t stop thinking about it.  *chews on fingernails. But too late already la most of the day is already gone anyway the hordes of potential car vandalisers would be too:( More blogging later (rest assured that I did not sideline any work to write this post ok) edit: Jam drew a picture of my car bless her wtf. HAHAHAHAHA I did not park like that la okay! This is more like it wtf. Look at us, the working half of the Club, but still so free to come up with rubbish like this. Besides doing work, our days are spent msn-ing and vying to see who can come up with the best jokes (she wins most of the time wtf) And the other day she came to pick me up for lunch and we went to Dome like proper Office Ladies with our starched shirts and tailored skirts! But then we sat down and gawked at the price and walked out again WTF aih no more face all classy OL image gone poof just like that. Papai Bunch of random updates: 1. I think my ibuddy is dead T_______T He no longer responds when people message me! When I click “test ibuddy” he lights up and moves, but other than that he just stays still and dark wtf:( He got annoying after a while with his nonstop actions but I miss him now 2. I finally got to read the Kite Runner! I bought the Other Boleyn Girl in the US, and Tze had the Kite Runner in UK so we were supposed to come back and exchange books but idiot she forgot to bring her copy back. I finally got my own copy and cried my way through 200 pages or so. Then I finished it and Fat Her took it over. And for the next 2-3 days he kept bursting into my room wtf. The worst was when he threw open my door, rushed in and tearfully proclaimed “Aiyo Hassan died ah!” Then he shuffled out again WTF. 3. I know what is one thing I must do before I die! Or at least before I get old and ugly wtf. I must visit the Wolong Nature Reserve (I think it’s in Sichuan) they have something like 60 pandas there And for RMB 1000 ($133) visitors can enter the pasture and play with the young pandas there According to theatlantic.com, “The young pandas seem as harmless as a bunch of puppies, but they are solid, frisky, and numerous, and we saw them unintentionally knock down slight Japanese women several times.” AHAHAHAHAHAHA I wanna be knocked down by a panda too wtf. So okay when I finally save up enough money to go somewhere I am so going to Sichuan (hello Shanshan!) 4. Ok quick recap of my week: Morning - wake up, wash up, makeup, go to work, struggle to stay awake (although I am getting better at this!) Afternoon - lunch, do more work, maybe attend a meeting, work Evening - go home, eat, shower sleep wtf. Sundays - be Grandma Ooi’s tongkat / cane wtf. She refuses to use her cane so guess who is her hooman walking stick. 5. Friend: hi! : you there? : can borrow your DS catridge? I didn’t see his MSN message and so didn’t reply. Upon receiving no reply. Friend: if dont want to lend me tell me : dont ignore Tell me will you get angry or not if you receive this kind of message! Where can simply assume I’m ignoring him! If I didn’t answer means I’m not there la! And how can simply assume that I am at my computer at all times? Like as though my whole life is about staying at my computer so I can reply them if they ever message me. Me: wtf : seriously its thing like this u say that make me angry : if i nv answer means im not there la : why must tell me not to ignore and stuff Friend: why u so sensitive? : i know you are not there Me: yea so why cant u wait for me to reply : instead of saying things that sound like u think im ignoring u for fun Friend: just in case you get back you saw msg you might think no need reply Me: why would i think no need to reply Friend: enough with your princess behaviour : its ok : damn “bapai” Me: if i dont want to lend u i’ll say la i wont ignore : ok lor fine lor enough on both sides Friend: dont think that im the only one making you angry : ok fine as you said Me: ok Seriously I kik si until dunno what. I can’t really pinpoint it but i think I am mad because (a) he assumed I was there and messaged me sounding quite accusing (b) he assumed that I didn’t want to lend it to him so I just decided to ignore him (c) this isn’t the first time he’s done this. Every time he messages me and I’m not at the computer he’ll nudge and message me periodically until I answer him. And his messages are always something like “why never answer?” “why you not replying me?” “are u ignoring me?” “eh why so lansi?” I WANNA STRANGLE SOMETHING It’s not that he doesn’t know that I tend to leave my computer on and go off! Why he thinks I must be there to receive and instantly reply every message he sends is it? Today I even thought maybe my MSN was showing my playlist because my music was on, so he could have thought I was there but it wasn’t showing! ARGH JUST KILL ME LA somore call me “papai” which translates to like…princessy or big shot and nobody should say anything wrong to me wtf. 5. Lee Chong Wei T________________________________T iBoyfriend wtf So professional working woman is back wtf. I like my job so far!  And the people are all very nice (must say because some of them read this wtf) But god hate feeling tired all the time T_____________T I feel so sleepy that I even contemplated stopping blogging just so I can spend all my free time sleeping =.= [I dunno how Hui Wen blogs as often as she does maybe I should just blog once a month now wtf] I really really like what I’m doing so far but god where has my energy all gone! Ok I know why la it’s because I’ve been waking up 5 hours before my usual wake up time wtf so it’s really as if I have jet lag! I swear nobody will recognize me in the office because I am sooo quiet there like never shout or laugh much or anything wtf. Probably because not much energy (especially before 12 pm) Maybe work has changed me and from now I will be  very quiet and sedate and boring T_T How ar maybe I should take Brands essence of chicken wtf.  Or 100 plus ar. But cannot take coffee cos today there was a meeting, and I ordered green tea but I THINK SOMEONE STOLE MY GREEN TEA LOR because I took the only hot drink cup left and took a big gulp AND IT WAS COFFEE Then I  made a disgusted face and the guy giving the presentation saw aihh and he looked very disturbed. I drank most of it because cannot waste and I was a bit cold anyway so must drink warm drink. But then I don’t usually drink coffee so after a while I got dizzy wtf and then I started fidgeting in my seat and my foot couldn’t stop tapping wtf aih stupid caffeine. But at least it woke me up la because I was falling asleep there who asked them to dim the lights T_T But guess what I got today! Windows Live Messenger ibuddy! This isn’t even my picture I am too tired to take one myself so I stole this pic. I was so excited!  Faster ate dinner so I could install it and play with it. If you look at it you’d realize it’s the 3d version of the MSN green man logo. And if you install it and plug it in, it reacts whenever anyone messages you or sends you an emoticon…. by lighting up and turning from side to side HAHA damn cute. So if someone sends me a MSN puking emoticon, his face turns green and he moves side to side very fast and heart also beat very fast hahahahaahha Or if someone sends me angry emoticon, he turns red and heart beats very fast also HAHAHAHA But when he’s calm he turns light blue and moves in a very gentle way wtf. But after a while I got a bit tired of him because he crazy wan people don’t send messages or anything also he keeps moving around and changing colors like a traffic light wtf. Ok now I’m going to sleep. Free Will I am starting work tomorrow! No more life of leisure. No more sleeping till 12pm, waking up and putting on makeup then going out for lunch, karaoke, movie, shopping, whatever:( No more facebooking with Tze until 5.30 am WTF because Suet and Jammie have already gone to sleep next day got work wtf. No more Fat Her and Mummy Ooi nagging “why don’t you go through the classifieds one more time” wtf. No more Grandma Ooi asking me every Sunday when I start work because now I can tell her. No more resumes and interviews! But hello proper corporate woman (who hopefully won’t have to wear shirts and knee-length skirts all the time) Hello MONEY (金金金金 wtf Sam Hui wtf) Hello Grandma Ooi telling me not to drive to work very dangerous ask Daddy to drive you there la wtf. Hello College Loans Payoffs (Did I mention I have USD 25,000 worth of loans to settle and the interest is 8% which means the total comes up to USD37,000 aih gone are my dreams of saving a lot of money fast so I can resign and go to Africa to take care of AIDS babies wtf.) Ok lemme post a lot of pictures to remind myself that life was once simple and carefree WTF. I HAVE DISCOVERED THE BEST FUCKING MASCARA IN THE WORLD. Okay I know the whole world knows about Tsuya Tsuya Angel Eyes already but that day was the first time I actually saw it in action wtf. Carol, Will and I were in Midvalley and Will was off somewhere talking in Shanghainese on my phone and looking for bird’s nest wtf. Carol and I saw the Tsuya Tsuya booth and we went up to it cos I’d heard about it and wanted to see what was so good about it. The promoter had it on one eye so we could make comparisons, and the eye that was mascaraed LOOKED LIKE IT HAD LASH EXTENSIONS THAT KENG OK. Like bird’s feathers wtf dunno what I’m saying also. Anyway, she did it for me and this is what it turned out to look like: Before: My lashes without makeup. Pictur resized smaller because ugly things should never be shown wtf. Aiya cannot really see properly. But it’s very good la ok! This is the first mascara I’ve fallen in love at first sight with. It makes me look like I have lash extensions on! It doesn’t look like fake lashes, it just looks like u have super long lashes coated with mascara. Which is what I like! I don’t like fake lashes because they don’t look that natural plus I will never forget the time I squeezed my glue tube too hard so glue flowed down my face and I looked like Two Face Harvey wtf. I am so buying it as soon as I get my pay! (Btw any Tsuya Tsuya people want me to write advertorial ar I write for free! That is if I get a mascara set wtf.) After we were done at Midvalley, we took a bus (BUS!!!) to get to the LRT station to go to Ampang to meet Ray and Roger. My first time on a bus in Malaysia! Carol was the one who brought us on the bus I think she must have been a warrior in her past life so brave to sit bus. When Carol took this shot of me on the bus, a bunch of people behind us sniggered T_T cos we very jakun T_T Will’s face hahahaah exactly like =.=! See the people behind laughing. Incidentally, this was his face too when he and Carol were talking about free will within religion (or something) then I cut in, “Free Will? Why, are you in jail?” HAHAHAHAHAHHAA VERY FUNNY RIGHT but he didn’t think so and nearly went to sit further from us wtf. In Ampang so Will can fulfil his ikan bakar craving wtf. Us with Ray, Roger and Reynard 3Rs wtf. I swear to god the pose wasn’t my idea cos if it was I would admit it (since according to some people I make this sign way too often) Went back to Ray’s to get changed and wait for Roger to come pick us up. Indulged in stupid childish games to while the time away. Do you know this game! The objective is to push at your opponent’s hands until he/she loses her balance and falls/shifts their feet. (Will had a handicap - stand on one leg because my balance sucks something wrong with my ears I think) I have never played this game in my life until last year at Six Flags when we played it while lining up for rides. We also emoed on the piano/keyboard playing emo Chinese songs. There’s something about Chinese songs ok T_T make people get emo very easily! I declared we should just stay at home and keep emo-ing to Chinese songs and then I sat back and listened pensively to Carol and Will play wtf. Them. Us. Carol, Ray and Will. Me and Carol. She says I look like a doll here which is my lifelong ambition wtf. The five-ten game wtf. Sting Ray WTF. This is what drinking does to me T_T With Roger and Ray. The guys messed up my hair see how happy they are with their peace signs wtf. We were doing Crank Dat on the road wtf. HAHAHAHA I got a joke for you! Q: Who is Soulja Boy’s best friend? A: YOUUUUUUUUUU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH Will told that to me damn funny!!! At Oldtown after. I was damn impatient to get home cos so late already ok 4am!!! What if Fat Her Ooi was breathing flames waiting for me wtf. I kept shouting at them to eat faster and nearly strangled Will when he called for a second bowl of noodles. To show that he was really in KL. Carol and Aud again. I was really grumpy! (more…) Carol & Will Like any blog reader worth their salt in kepoh-ness, I’ve been keeping up with the recent scandals floating around the www. I love gossip as much as anyone (or maybe even more) but it sucks to read things about people that I know or am acquainted with. And it feels even worse to read all the hate embedded in the readers’ comments on blogs like Shadow Fox’s about people who are not even connected in any way to the scandals. Why are you bitching about Su Ann for writing supposedly “sneaky” advertorials? Or dating someone older than she is? Why are people hating Suet for having a stupid life and an ugly boyfriend WTF. I think I am very lucky that so far nobody has really flamed me in my blog or anywhere else. But I know it’s definitely not because I am better or more likeable than others, it’s just that not as many people read me wtf. If I were as well-known as Suet or Su Ann sure the bitchy comments would start rolling in wan. For that matter, I cannot for the life of me fathom why Suet or Su Ann are getting haters. Suet is my best friend la, but even if viewed objectively, what is in her blog that can inspire so much hatred? Granted, some people might think her life boring or she’s annoying for using wtf, but is that really enough to make people hate her =.= Besides, me and Tze talked about it before and we decided the exact reason why people like Suet is just that - she’s a normal regular girl with a normal regular life, and she blogs guilelessly about herself just for the sake of blogging and that is why people love her. Same goes for Su Ann. I don’t know her that well but I do know that she is smart, honest and possibly the most unbitchy person I have ever met. I like blogging because I like putting up pictures and writing and making people laugh. And connecting with people. But it’s things like this - all this unrequited hatred for people you don’t even know - that make me agree with Tze that blogging really sucks at times and it does make me consider shutting down my blog or making it private.:( But first. Aud, Carol and Will’s Day Out wtf. Slapping on face paint. (God I love having Carol around! For lots of reasons obviously but one of them is that she takes pictures of EVERYTHING) Me and Carol And me and Will! We were looking for Redbox at the Curve. Walk around upstairs and downstairs and still couldn’t find the entrance wtf. Found it! Choosing songs with great intensity wtf. The salad which looks very pretty but which none of us took no wonder Carol has to eat diet plums HAHAHAH I told you Carol is obsessed with pictures! Stupid Will showed me some disgusting piece of fat from the chicken wtf. Only bothered about food wtf. Paparazzi shot! Welcome to the Curve wtf. Idiot! His shoelace came undone and meanwhile the phone rang for him and I was already rushing to leave before it got dark because I don’t wanna drive in the dark! (scary) So I had to do up his shoelace for him wtf. Stupid Will! Put seatbelt and clung on for dear life IN THE BACKSEAT while I was driving! I know that it’s now the law to wear your seatbelt in the backseat. BUT HE DOESN’T KNOW OK HE WAS JUST SERIOUSLY SCARED FOR HIS LIFE I am not that bad at driving honestly! Just that I have trouble telling right from left WTF. Carol: Ok keep left here. Aud: Ok *swerves right And whenever I sing Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” with the hand actions, at the part where she goes “to the left to the left” I always point to the right WTF. Anyway I hate driving because every time I drive people turn all pale and exaggerate by strapping themselves to the seats. And they like to say things in strained voices like “watch out for that car” and “turn here I SAID TURN HERE”wtf. But I had no choice that day because Carol is from Kuching and Will is from Boston and neither of them have cars here obviously. Trying to get my revenge wtf. Then I made him drive and propped up my feet and shrieked at him to watch where he was going did he still think he was in America wtf. Bush man The other day I had a clash with a guy from Shu Uemura wtf. Me, Jam, Suet and Tze were in Midvalley the other day when Tze decided she needed to get a new eyebrow pencil to match her new hair color. And there the Shu Uemura guy convinced her to let him shape her eyebrows. (RM20 for normal brow RM30 for extraordinarily bushy brows) Then he damn irritating ok!  Kept calling all of us ‘girl’ wtf. And then he said “let me look at your eyebrows” and pushed back my bangs and  said “oh yours ar yours will cost RM30″ WTF. Damn angry ok I stewed for a while until Jam asked him “so do you trim your brows?” to which he answered “no” where I triumphantly said “yalah look at his brows you think he trims meh” wtf. Then later on he said he would do my brows for RM20 give me discount wtf.  Then I said it was okay, but he said “do la can be prettier.” And I snottily replied “No need now I’m pretty enough” complete with hair flipping. To which he said “you very pretty now meh?” WTF. Dunno why I was so annoyed!  Usually things like this don’t bother me but I think it was how he looked so smug. And I won’t usually say I am pretty but he just got on my nerves so much I had to say something back! But Tze loves him  because he made her eyebrows really nice and keeps defending him wtf. Chelsea-Malaysia match.  Of which we only caught half:(  Cos we were stuck in a jam and then we were stuck outside waiting for people. But no matter because I didn’t really find it that interesting.  Just went for the experience. I was more interested in the blue balloon someone had let go which was floating near the roof! Me, Ringo, Wen Qi, KY (I ALWAYS HAVE TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO SAY JELLY AFTER HIS NAME WTF) Both pics stolen from KY!  God I look so short next to Cindy T________T I went to Singapore for a day last Friday!  Met up with Elise whom I haven’t seen since October Vegas Night.:))))) I am very happy in the knowledge that Elise is in Singapore, Mild is in Bangkok, and Christine is in HK all fairly reachable!  Now if only Angela would move here T3T We took a train to and from Singapore.  This is the first class cabin and Mummy Ooi was very amazed and insisted I take a photo (or ten wtf) Got aircon and fan wtf. And a sink!  And a chair and folding table.  (in addition to two beds) But I hate the table la ok I tried to make it fold down and it closed on my finger and I nearly cried and my mother called me a “Life Idiot” WTF. Which means I suck at life wtf. Met up with Grace and Vina for lunch! Carol joined us!  She’s in KL And she’s staying with me!  Here is Hitler and Ugly Ninja makes a comeback wtf. Redang and us Yay Redang! Okay I admit this was my first time in Redang.  Or anywhere on the east coast for that matter. When we were in our van from the Kuala Terengganu airport heading to the jetty I said “so this is what the east coast looks like.  Reminds me of Miami” WTF. Anyway Imma try post pics that Suet, Tze and Jam haven’t already. Hello Redang! At lunch, where each of us took piles and piles of food cos wanna get our money’s worth wtf. Wanted to take a picture of the background but I am just too big wtf. No nice pictures of Ooib dunno why.  Look at these pictures and how fair I look next to Latat wtf.  I am honestly not that fair but next to Latat I think the camera tried to compensate by like sucking in a lot of light or something to make the picture brighter cos Latat was in it hahahahaahhaha Me and Angie took a  similar shot like this when we were at Koh Samui.  With the water rushing around our ankles.  But now there’s nobody to take this shot with me anymore T____________T Jammie piggy backing me up and down the beach why is she so strong /boo Official picture 2008 wtf. Ah Niu and Richie Ren wtf. When those 4 crazy fuckers went snorkelling.  I hate snorkelling la ok I always get cut by coral and fishes try to eat me alive WTF.  Even when I’m flinging bread pieces around like crazy to distract them they still try to come take a bite of me wtf. The battle against our enemy will never end wtf. Seriously la ok I can see myself getting darker and darker each day and today Tze talked about Vitamin C injections that can make you fair I am contemplating it wtf. Our fort.  It started out as a sandcastle, then changed into a tower, then an igloo, then a turtle and finally a fort wtf.  (Just because every attempt failed) Me being Godzilla.  I think there’s another pic of me in the same exact pose trying to step on a plastic dinosaur in the butterfly farm near Moho wtf. I love this pic!  Jam looks very hot and so does Latat (but in different ways WTF) Then we went swimming! Actually Tze, Jam and Latat did.  I stayed at the side because I didn’t wanna get my hair wet wtf. But then there was a slide! I cannot resist slides. The only people using it were children.  But that did not stop us! We went to the bottom of the slide and looked intimidatingly at the children before they faltered and crept away to let us have it WTF.  No la children are just naturally shy when there are other people around I think. Jam and Tze on the slide. I was a bit scared when I was at the top wtf because there was rushing water all around me! And water naturally erases the friction so I went down faster than I’d expected. As expected, I screamed the whole way down, to the amusement of the watching kids. (There’s a video somewhere that shows the power of me and my lungs compared to brave Tze and Jam wtf) Here I am whining about the state of my hair. Again, everyone was posing ‘cept me. “Up and away!” wtf. Us on hammocks HAHAHAA TZE. Latat called a hammock a ‘hancock’ ok why is he like this hahaahahahahah Burying Ooib (nowhere to be seen because he’s already underground wtf wtf no I kid) Now this is the time when we were in the cafe having dinner when it suddenly started pouring rain.  We already showered and didn’t feel like getting wet and we’d left our umbrellas in the room (cos no more sun ma wtf) so we begged a garbage bag from the staff to shield ourselves from the rain for the walk back to our rooms. I guess we’re famous now in Redang for being the 4 who walk around with garbage bags on their heads shrieking at each other about getting wet wtf. Look at Suet’s face damn fat hau! Latat is being LOA.  Tze’s in the back reading one of the two copies of the same Marian Keyes book we um “borrowed” from the hotel library *shifty eyes Does this look like a sitcom promo picture or what! Haha Jam so cute here. While I was on the phone to Will.  Who is in town!  And who keeps forcing me to play stupid games with him in which I alwasy lose and whom I have yet to take a decent picture with so no pictures yet wtf. Just cos we both look sweet. My only complaint is that there is not enough light on my face wtf. Whaddup ho wtf.  A day where I actually felt cold on the beach.  Me, who has lived in New England for 4 years, felt cold in Redang. = = MSN emoticon!  Can anyone recognise which one it is wtf. Hai guys wtf. On the boat on the way back. On the floating jetty getting to the boat, some stupid Ah Bengs thought it would be fun to jump up and down and rock the jetty.  I screamed that if I fell into the water, someone was going to get their boombox broken over their head. I don’t think they know what boombox means though. Bye bye Redang! Definitely, maybe Maybelline Maybelline had a party for us the other day! When Robb told me he had a makeup advertorial for me to do, I jumped up in the middle of the cinema (lucky movie haven’t started yet) and said “YESSSSS” wtf. So the Maybelline makeup party! Maybelline invited a bunch of us over and gave us a huge box/portable dressing table full of makeup to play and experiment with. Damn fun right! At first we didn’t want to seem too greedy or hasty wtf. Must act a bit sophisticated ma it was the first time I met some of them after all. But after a while everybody was pushing for space in the mirror and shouting over tubes of mascara and eyeliner pencils! The altar to the God of Maybelline. Us crouched around it playing with makeup. Me and Ringo hogging the mirror and makeup station. We both look like idiots in this picture but I thought it was cute! Our bangs and silly expressions look like mirror images wtf. At first I thought it would be even better if they brought over a makeup artist for us. But tahdah Cass (on the right) is a makeup artist too! Damn power ok her skill like Monkey God WTF. And Paris from My Women’s Stuff was there too! Her and Cass’s makeup blogs are full of tips and information on cosmetics and makeup. Hello Makeup Sifus /shy Cass did Karen’s makeup (pic above) with really pretty green shadow over her lids. But I don’t have a close up shot Then Cass decided it was her turn to be pampered. I kindly volunteered to do her makeup for her! (Actually I was very scared because do you know how intimidating it is to put on makeup for a profession makeup artist) Me with intense concentration. But I wasn’t used to putting on makeup for other people. I DREW HER EYEBROWS IN TOTALLY DIFFERENT SHAPES HAHAHAHAHA So I pushed the eyebrow pencil into her disappointed hands and ran away to play with other people. Poor Cass was left to salvage the mess I made of her eyebrows. But she damn expert ok! While she was doing this, I ran off only to get cornered by one of the staff who made me paint her nails for her wtf. I was even more stressed by this woman than I was with Cass! Cos she kept yelling at me in Hokkien so my hand started to shake WTF. Hahahaha no la she was very fierce but funny I did like her. The finished product! Me and Ringo in amazement at the array of products they provided us with. See! Eyeshadows. Lipsticks. But the star of the day was…. Maybelline’s new Water Shine 3D Collagen Lipstick. It’s a new product on the market, and they gave us the chance to play with it and try it on. To be honest, I am not a fan of lipsticks of anything on my lips other than Vaseline wtf. Cos I don’t like having stuff on my lips and resisting the urge to lick it off. Mummy Ooi always tries to make me wear lipstick/lipgloss though she thinks my lips are too dry = = Water Shine 3D Collagen is supposed to help with dry lips and lip cracks though! I tried some of it on. And it felt like Vaseline! Which to me is the greatest achievement any lipstick can have wtf. I hate having sticky or heavy stuff on my lips, but this one was light and left my lips super moist. (Which was good because I forgot my Vaseline wtf) Another thing is if I put any lipstick or gloss on my lips, I usually have to put on a layer of Vaseline first because a lot of products sting my lips dunno why. But this one didn’t at all! It’s called 3D Collagen because of some super technology in it that (bubble-shaped molecules) that will give a multi-dimensional, deeper effect. And when you press your lips together, it’s supposed to reactivate shine to keep the shine lasting longer (seriously why so high tech wan I am nearly in disbelief) Me and the super high tech lipstick. Btw I love this color on me but I think when I was choosing the lipstick to bring home I took the wrong shade AIH maybe Imma go buy a new one. Me and Ringo comparing lipsticks. The End! FUCK YOU FIREFLYZ Hsin said I should have known not to trust any company which suffixes a -Z to their name. But how was I to know! Firefly is affiliated with MAS Malaysian Airlines (so people can google this and find my blog), which although expensive, is widely trusted and provides very good service and customer care most of the time. So this is the story of our ongoing nightmare with Firefly. The 6 of us booked our flights to and from Redang through Firefly a whole 2 months before our trip. We paid everything in full. Then about 4 days before Redang, we received notification that our flight leaving Redang was delayed from 4pm to 10pm. We were quite upset about it because it meant that we had to wait around in Kuala Terengganu for 8 hours or so, because our boat from Redang Island to the mainland was at 12pm. We contemplated taking a bus back or booking an earlier flight with AirAsia instead, but decided against it, thinking that we could live waiting for 8 hours. Then on our way back from Redang, in the ferry, Suet received an SMS from Firefly telling us that our flight had been further delayed to 1.3o am!!! WHO ON EARTH TAKES A PLANE AT 1.30 AM!!!! Everyone was going crazy calling up our parents back in KL to tell them what shit has happened now wtf. Latat called up Firefly who told him that we could cancel our tickets and get refunds, and look for other options of getting home. We decided to rush to the airport to see if we could get an earlier flight back to KL. This was at 3pm. So we got to the airport. And there, the airport staff informed us that there was no way that there could be a 1.30 am flight with Firefly as the airport closes at 11pm. SO THIS MEANS THAT FIREFLY SIMPLY TALK COCK AND TELL US THE FLIGHT IS AT 1.30 AM FOR NO FUCKING GOOD REASON AT ALL. Since the airport wouldn’t let them land, they had to cancel the flight. The next available flight out was at 8am the next day. And they never bothered to inform us! If we hadn’t gone to the airport early, we would never have found out! What if we decided to stick with the 1.30 flight and only went to the airport say at 11pm? We would have just found out the flight was canceled and then we would be stuck in Kuala Terengganu for the night. WHAT KIND OF FUCKING SERVICE IS THIS? In our anger, Tze and I went around kicking Firefly signs in the hopes that they would topple over wtf. Unfortunately mine didn’t wtf but Tze’s did. Suet and Ooib went to talk to the MAS personnel in the airport to ask for a refund and compensation, while the rest of us went to Airasia to book new flights. (Suet didn’t let us go with her because she didn’t want us shouting and ruining whatever progress she could make wtf) So she talked to this MAS guy called Ajimat / Ahjimat / Ahjeemat / Azimat wtf who looked like a MAS big shot because he had a jacket wtf. He promised us full refunds on our tickets (he said to just go to the Firefly outlet at Subang Airport with our boarding passes and we would get our refunds) and refreshments. So we went ahead and booked our AirAsia flights and wiped out the buffet at the airport restaurant wtf. Today, Suet and Ooib went to Subang Airport to get our refunds. The people there told them that: 1) they could not do anything about the flight delays/cancellation because one of their planes was grounded, and they had not enough aircraft to fly the other routes. 2) we would get no such refund. They had talked to fucking Ajimat who claimed there had been a “COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN” and he had never told us we could get our money back. WTFFFFF I DON’T FUCKING CARE IF YOUR PLANE IS GROUNDED OR AIRED OR WHATEVER. THE POINT IS FUCKING FIREFLY IS SELLING US A SERVICE AND WE PAID FOR THAT SERVICE AND WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO RECEIVE IT. IF YOU CANNOT DELIVER WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED YOU BETTER FUCKING FOLLOW UP WITH A FULL REFUND PLUS COMPENSATION DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPENT ON THE PHONE CALLING OUR FAMILIES IN KL TO TRY TO GET ALTERNATIVE FLIGHTS BACK? DO U KNOW HOW MUCH STRESS ALL 6 OF US WENT THROUGH THAT DAY BECAUSE OF FIREFLY? AND HOW CAN YOU FOB US OFF WITH STUPID EXCUSES ABOUT COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWNS? EAT SHIT LA DO WE LOOK LIKE KIDS OR IDIOTS TO YOU WE HEARD WHAT YOU SAID AND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DENY EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT IS YOUR WORD AGAINST OURS YOU ARE WRONG Ooib wrote an email to them complaining and to their credit, they replied very promptly in the same day. But the compensation they offered was a one way ticket to any destination in Malaysia for all 6 of us. No cash refund for our wasted KT-Subang flight. What fucking good is a one way ticket? We still have to buy the other way to go anywhere, we would still be spending extra money and Firefly would just profit from it. In total, Firefly has already cost us RM 1200+ (rm218 per person to book new tickets on AirAsia) That’s about USD 400. I cannot believe how irresponsible and thickskinned Firefly and its employees are. How the hell do they expect to compete with AirAsia and the other budget airlines if they can’t even do a simple thing like provide what they are selling to their customers? Jam looked on google and found this link *click* where other people have been complaining about Firefly for the exact same issue. So if this is a recurring problem, WHY THE HELL ARE THEY NOT DOING ANYTHING TO RESOLVE IT? This is a huge warning to everyone not to take Firefly to any destination, even if they are offering cheaper prices than other airlines. So what if it’s cheaper? You never know when they might choose to delay or cancel your flight. You could just be stuck somewhere, or unable to get to where you want to go just because some irresponsible idiot’s actions. Companies with such little disregard for customer opinion and welfare do not deserve to earn our money, especially when the product/service they are providing sucks balls. I will not stop ranting about Firefly until I get at least a full cash refund on my plane ticket plus compensation to cover my AirAsia ticket. >(((((((((((((((( Hate Firefly forever. More on Jam’s, Suet’s and Tze’s blogs. P/S: Does anyone know how to make my entry show up first on Google when I type Firefly / Fireflyz? People need to read this and not get conned wtf. My friend and I I have never in my life deleted negative comments on my blog. I always thought that if someone didn’t like me enough to leave a comment on my blog, he/she might have a good reason for doing so.  Why should they not have the right to express their opinions in a reasonable manner, supported by proper arguments? Besides, if freedom of speech is not allowed in Malaysia, I will try to provide some sense of it here on my blog. But not if you insult my friends. I am deleting all negative comments by judgmental, insensitive people who look at a picture and think they know the whole story. Thank you for saying that I’m awesome and that it is not me you are talking about.  But you forgot that the person you are making snide, stereotyped, untrue remarks about is my best friend, and I will not stand for any shit on her. The Club goes to Redang Only I would get my flight times mixed up and thus wake up at 5.15 am for nothing. The Club is off to Redang! P/S: Have no time to join in dispute two entries down will come back and see what everyone says. Sorry about this Hsin *hugs tight tight Ebony and Ivory The other day I found a stack of old CDs that I’d burned the last time I’d reformatted my computer.(Which explains why these days people on my msn keep seeing me listen to songs that were popular 4 years ago wtf) These were songs I’d listened to avidly to while I was a firstie at Mount Holyoke and you know how music affects you and brings you back to times before! First year seems like a lifetime away! I lived in a teensy single room converted into a double with my roommate Beth. And I was so homesick you don’t even know. Even when I had like an hour between classes, I would rush back to my room and log on to MSN to talk to everyone because that was the time everyone in Malaysia would be online. L And god the amount of food I ate. Every dinner I’d have two full plates of chicken/fish and pasta/rice AND a bowl of salad AND sometimes another bowl of cereal! AND THEN I would come back and eat more snacks. = = I think part of it was homesickness, part of it was boredom, part of it was my body attempting to pile on the fat to keep warm, and part of it was because I had the freedom away from Mummy Ooi to buy whatever I liked. And this was my favorite after-dinner, before-dinner, breakfast, after lunch food: Sinful delight wtf. I bought huge boxes of Oreos (oh the wonders of living in the US) and would eat it all in two or three sittings. (One box was probably 5 of these rolls put together) I think my above dietary habits were what caused me to gain 7 kg within 3 months wtf. But I desperately needed it ok because I was 32 kg before I went to the US (32!) But they were so good! They were my source of energy on blustery blizzardy days when it was too cold to even leave the building to grab food. They were my comfort food when I cooped up in my room watching sad Korean movies on my laptop. Or they were what got me through the nights I stayed up writing papers. Those were the days. Since then, things have changed. Firstly, I used to look like this: And Lolo looked like this: (With duct tape stuck on his head wtf) And now, I look like this: And Lolo looks like this: “Hi guys.” Wtf. (He’s wearing the skirt I made in Kemahiran Hidup in Form 1 wtf) And I’ve graduated from college! But I still love Oreos. And I don’t even like sweet stuff! I hate cakes of any kind, pastries, mousse, most cookies cos I find most desserts too jelak. But Oreos are different Oreos are made of chocolate Chocolate is god And so is the white sugar stuffing inside I swear to god the people at the Oreo factory put a drug/magic charm into those cookies. My Oreo and me. “Why should YOU get to eat all the Oreos!” “Take that!” *tucks Oreos into skirt “Si pai kia are you playing with fire” wtf. But we’ve made our peace now! Share and share alike Sepak bola tu wtf I’m writing this now because come the real day, I won’t be around to blog. Happy Birthday Hsin! It’s been 2 years since the last time we saw each other, but when you came home this time, it was like we’d only seen each other last week! Mitchell was relegated to merely ‘Ang Moh’, while we delved into our shared childhoods and pains of being ugly growing up wtf. (She dug up old photo albums of us aged 10-12 and showed them to Ang Moh, who muttered consolingly, “at least you looked kind of cute” WTF SO IM NOT LA T_T We grew up together with slumber parties, using highlighters to color our nails wtf, through obsessions with the Backstreet Boys and 911. She was there when I wanted to run away from home for not doing well in my BM paper WTF. She still slept next to me even though I would throw my leg over her in the middle of the night and smile at her with my buck teeth while asleep WTF. When you were back, we terrorized everyone else in the car by making jokes nobody else bothered to get and then shrieking with laughter, very proud of ourselves for being so funny wtf. We made jokes in Penang Hokkien or Malay and amuse ourselves because we think it’s funnier in another language. She was there for me when I found out one of the worst things I had ever heard. And she made long distance calls for me because I was in the US to help me clarify. She is the most unjudgmental person I know. And the only person able to support me fully without taking sides. So happy birthday woman:) You know how much I love you. Pics from Hsin’s birthday at Jarrod and Rawlins and Wabisabi. Birthday girl and um birthday boyfriend wtf. Me and my Coke. Them and their very cool drinks (except Shaun who is drinking Coke too) And Dennis with the most unstylist drink in the world HAHAHAAH hot chocolate wtf. This Jill la! Said I make her head look big so she forced me to the front and I dunno why i came up with this face wtf. Me, Shaun and Serious Man HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA JUST LOOK AT HIS FACE HAHAHAAHAAH LIKE SAMURAI HAHAHAHAAHHAAH Dennis is Jam’s idol! I will show you video evidence in a bit. Aud, Jillie, Hsin. Hsin and Ang Moh comparing arm lengths. Hsin nearly won, which is an incredible feat for someone who is 5′4 against someone who’s more than 6 feet tall. The Thinker hahahahahahahaahah I can’t remember why we started having a very hiao pillow fight. Look at my face! But nothing beats Dennis’s again hahahaahahah TOld you HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Dennis is the world’s best impersonator. I told him he should join Actors Studio wtf. I dunno if it’s as funny online as it is in real life, but I will try must tell people! He said last year he went to a football game in KL. The match was Malaysia-Singapore. When he got to the stadium, there were no cars around it all. All motorbikes circling the stadium wtf. If you push one, all will fall wtf. So anyway, according to Dennis, watching a football game in Malaysia is like listening to a song. Cos a song has 3 parts - verse, chorus and bridge. Apparently, rempits are the football team’s strongest supporters as well as fiercest critics. So throughout the whole match, the rempits will be shouting at the players, telling them where to bring the ball, and shouting that even their grandmother nenek moyang wtf can play better than them wtf. So that’s the verse. Then every 5 or 10 minutes the drums will sound “dun dun dun dun” then everybody will stop screaming at the players and shout in unison “MALAYSIA” WTF HAHAHAHAHHA repeat 10x wtf Then when the cheers die down, somehow there will be isolated cries in the stadium like “……bodoh…..” and “…..jinjang…” wtf. That’s the chorus. And the bridge is when a girl walks past wtf. Dennis said once a Singaporean player got hurt, so the Singaporean physiotherapist came onto the field. The rempits started shouting: “Awek ohhhh awek… eh eh….boleh tengok coli dia wei” HAHAHAHAHAH WHY LIKE THIS and “ah moi ah moi periksa kaki ke periksa bola? ngek ngek ngek” HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Please don’t think this is racist, because I dont see this as railing against a particular ethnic group, but more of amusement at a particular Malaysian social group. Plus, I think rempits are the one of the best people in the world to come up with creative insults and swear words wtf. Dennis’s rempit video! Dramamama O HAI ITZ ME wtf. I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long (breaking my blog at least every 2 days rule) but I have been very busy! I have 3 interviews this week and also met up with my dad’s friend who does research ala ASLI to talk to him about what he does. And I also have assignments to complete as part of my job applications! Why companies these days like to give us assignments to do as part of our evaluation! New trend ar wtf. Anyway I am feeling much better about things :)))))) Thank you so much for all your comments, every single one made me feel so much happier and supported:) Sorry I didn’t have time to reply:( and I’m sorry about the people who went through the same thing or worse:((((( As for making a police report, I am not going to do it because it will be a hard case to prove for lack of evidence:( I am however going to inform the management (even though he basically RULES the whole management) of his behavior and explain this is why I am going to reject the job. I really want to tell people what university it was and who the guy is, but I can’t do it on a public space like a blog later get accused of defamation like Raja Petra wtf. Never mind let me do it like how they do viral marketing wtf. Word of mouth Imma tell everyone I come across and work from there wtf. Anyway the Oois went on a family photo shoot the other day! Suet and Ooib won this at the Made of Honor premiere the other day and they let the family use so nice /boo They even did free makeup but for mothers only daughters don’t get *sour See, daughter-in-law also have to put own makeup wtf. Ooib and the Amazing Technicolor Socks wtf. Fat Her and his phone as usual. Even when wanna take pictures he was on the phone what is this where is your family spirit Fat Her. Me in my graduation gown and a prop teddy. Haih Mummy Ooi brought like 3 outfits and I was forced to wear my gown and maybe just one dress *sulks No other pictures will get more from Suet later I think. Then today was a very dramamama day! Went to Bangsar with Tze and Jac today for lunch and shopping. Take pic and cut myself off. Jac was so sweet and ladylike me and Tze felt like cattle next to her wtf. And I like her pink extensions Imma go get some too I miss mine T_T There can see my face clearer *obsessive I think me and Tze are meant to be we both showed up wearing cleavage-y white tops, cardigans on top (to keep from the sun wtf), shorts and white heels Oh ya and bronzy pink eyeshadow and big iris contacts Without planning! And then drama occurred! Tze was complaining about having cramps and while we were in Mooie and I was in the dressing room, I heard her say “Aud, I think I’m going to faint.” I said very nonchalantly, “oh really ar?” and continued trying on clothes WTF. Cos Tze is prone to exaggeration okay I thought it was just her cramps! Then I came out of the dressing room to show them my dress and I saw Tze slumped on the couch pale as paper and I got the shock of my life wtf. Jac ran to get her painkillers and I got even more scared cos I touched her hands and her face and they were all cold and clammy! So I found a tissue paper in my bag (I dunno if it’s used WTF sorry Tze) and blotted her face and fanned her wtf. All while Hui Wen’s sister and friend were trying on clothes around us wtf. Then Jac came back with Ponstan and gave it to Tze who felt better after a bit. Then Jac had to go so I propped Tze over to the clinic wtf. Gloomy Tze at the clinic. Where she did a blood test to check for anemia T______________T She’s fine now phewww. But deja vu because when I did my piercing she was there to hold my hand through the process and now I held her hand while the doctor drew blood from her dunno why I was so touched about it Ok interview tomorrow babai. Otak puki WTF Note: I took nearly a day to decide whether or not to put this post up. I spoke to a few people about it, and while some reacted with sympathy, others laughed or brushed it off. I don’t think I could take more disparagement. If I change my mind later, I will take this post down. The good news is that yesterday I received a whole bunch of calls and emails to schedule interviews for next week. =) The bad news is that I went for an interview today… Some people might know which university it is that I interviewed with. I am not saying names for privacy’s and propriety’s sake. But it is a private institution, and this was my 2nd interview there. I met with one of the directors, who offered me a position, complete with pretty decent pay for a fresh graduate. Taking the job would mean that I had the chance to get to where I want to be in my life. But then he started doing very inappropriate things to me. We were in the reception area and he said we should head to his office to talk more. Then he put out his hand to me so I took it, thinking he wanted to shake my hand. But he held on to my hand and pulled me with him to the elevator. He tried to hold my hand again in his office. He also caressed my cheek and stroked my hair a few times. When we were leaving his office he extended one arm to me for like a one-armed hug so I just cordially patted his shoulder. But he pulled me to him and hugged me and pressed his cheek against mine. (I dunno if he was aiming for my lips and got my cheek instead) What happened to me cannot be compared to the ordeals of rape or molest victims of course. But I think this is sexual harrassment, even before I start work wtf. Even though he didn’t touch me anywhere intimate, I felt violated and shamed enough. And I was a bundle of raw nerves being alone in his office and elevator with him. I don’t really understand why I felt so bad. I told my mom and I wanted to tell my dad and brother myself, but I struggled with coming out and saying it because I kept feeling so ashamed even though I know it’s not my fault. Instead I spent the whole day being silent and finding it difficult to laugh at funny things. I didn’t even feel like talking to anyone, which is already very chronic for me. Fuck perverted old, short, dark men with oily long hair. Make me feel like shit for no reason! I went out with Hsin, Mitch, Dennis, Shaun and Jill earlier and laughed a lot. So I feel much better right now, which is why I am blogging about this. If what I have heard is true, and their management culture is really one that not only does not discourage leering and other forms of sexual harassment and discrimination, but may even indirectly abet it, taking it as some macho power game, then I swear to god I am going to bring this corporation down. This is going to be a lifetime vendetta wtf. Where is the justice in this world if people who are in power get away with shit just because of who they are? And are people (and students) like me just expected to shut up and put up with it because we are not in a position to do anything about it? Fuck you assholes. P/S: If you’re going to leave a comment, please do not mention the university name if you think you know it. All comments with such names will be deleted. If you want to verify it, just think of the worst private university you know, and you are probably right. Egao no genki Oh what to blog about ar. The job search continues. Haih I am damn fan about this seriously I can’t even decide which field I want to enter.  I think I have a split personality seriously Fat Her said I am very weird because on one hand I care about social issues and want to contribute, but on the other hand I am super flighty and shallow and judge people based on their looks all the time and would probably never last in a serious work environment:((((( And my days just melt into each other!   Wake up, do makeup if going out, if not eat lunch at home, go online, prepare a few cover letters, print hard copies if needed, research more company sites, call operator if I need to, talk on MSN, wait for Fat Her to come home so I can be scolded about not looking hard enough WTF *sour Aiya just put up pictures from Mum’s birthday la wtf. Family portrait!  We are going for a family photo shoot soon because Fat Her wants pictures of me wearing my graduation gown and cap wtf.  But I want to wear my own dresses okay how can I just wear somber black robes and take pictures! Already have bad memories because I stepped over the flower pot while wearing the gown sigh. Family portrait gone wrong wtf.  Obviously I was posing for it! With sister in law wtf. I was showing my parents how to take a picture of your reflection. They are very amazed at my skills. = = They are also very enthralled by the fact that I can fit all of us in the picture just by estimating.  Look at Fat Her’s expression of wonderment. All Generation Y-ers know this okay!  It’s in our veins wtf.  Sigh baby boomers I tell you wtf. Look at Ooib and Suet posing like models!  And yalah don’t say I know my outfit very ah lian wtf. Stupid Fat Her!  He asked me to turn around and positioned his foot right on my face and snapped this picture T_T I think I am getting used to life back in Malaysia. The weather doesn’t bother me anymore (just stay in the aircon) I look forward to every meal and plan what to eat every day (something I never do in the US) I love all the restaurants and outlets and bars and clubs we have here.  I think Asian interior design beats the ang moh countries flat - KL and Taipei clubs are a hundred times prettier than Boston’s and Vancouver’s (sorry Angie) Now if only Malaysia had no rempits or Najib wtf. P/S: Tze and I were rating ourselves ya we damn free.  And I am very realistic ok I think seriously without my contact lenses, makeup and curler I am nothing.  Ok not nothing but I rate myself 3.5 over 10 without any er outside assistance wtf.  Serious ok last night after showering, with curlers stuck on my head and after taking off my contacts I got a shock because I didn’t recognize myself damn different I swear to god wtf.  I think mostly because of the iris enlarging contacts la it makes such a big difference you don’t even know.  Ok that’s all I wanted to say. To give, divine I read about one man who called his wife from an airport pay phone.  When he had used up all his coins, the operator interrupted to say he had one minute left.  The man hurriedly tried to finish his conversation with his wife, but before they could tell each other good-bye, the line went dead.  With a sigh, the man hung up the phone and started to leave the little telephone cubicle.  Just then the phone rang.  Thinking it was the operator wanting more money, the man almost didn’t answer.  But something told him to pick up the phone.  And sure enough, it was the operator.  But she didn’t want more money.  Instead she had a message for him. “After you hung up, your wife said she loved you,” the operator said.  “I thought you’d want to know.” - Barbara Johnson, from We Brake for Joy! The other night when I was searching my bookshelf for something to read to sleep, I came across a small book my aunt gave me 4 years ago before I left for the US.  It was full of feel-good short stories, a bit like Chicken Soup for the Soul la. So I read it.  And cried at every story WTF I am made of wimp.   But then I also started feeling better in general about life and people.  When did I stop looking in my purse for change and start avoiding beggars I see on the street My July 6th resolution is therefore to perform one random act of kindness everyday! (Giving people makeovers count too) Anyway the other night at Luna Bar! KL Tower!  If you look properly, you can see Najib skulking around behind it WTF. Chun Meng, Tze, me and Don’t Sked wtf.  Why do I look as though I have no torso. My love and I:) Tze and Chun Meng I wonder how KK took this shot why so high up wan!  And er that is not my deformed looking leg in the corner wtf. A view of Luna Bar from above by KK.  The lengths DSLR people will go to to take pictures. Me and Don’t Sked hahahhahahah.  Look at his face you tell me you scared or not wtf.  Kevin is referred to as such because when we were playing Big Fish Small Fish, instead of the loser having to drink, we decided that the loser would either be kissed or slapped by the people sitting next to him.  And Kwo Kuang and Tze got very panicked because they were sitting next to Kevin (clearly dying to be kissed) and he said in frustration “Eh fuck la don’t sked” hahahahahaahahaha Ya go bar also must order chocolate I love chocolate mmmmmmmmm.  Some more my drink was so worth it, same price as the others but so big have to hold it with two hands wtf. DSLRs take such pretty photos!  I would get one too, if not for the fact that I would probably be the one TAKING the pictures and noone would take any of me. Us and the DSLR owner who himself is damn emo about nobody taking any shots of him but when I tried to take his photo every picture came out blurry. /boo Okay all these pictures were taken two days after my haircut and a day after my struggle with the fan wtf.  So my hair looks pretty shitty. But now it has settled and I can style it beautifully again! CaMwHoRe AlErT WTFWTF Usually I don’t have the urge to take pictures of myself but I don’t know why suddenly the love of my own physical  appearance has been reignited wtf so sorry you have to bear with this wtf. THE BEFORE PIC: In pajamas (ie boxers and souvenir tshirt from parents’ trip to DC) and messy hair. Ok I confess!  I had makeup on in these pictures as though I will ever be so brave (and stupid) to take pictures of myself without makeup. AFTER: Perfect hair *teary eyed. Because my hair’s more layered now, I can style it so much better! *mutters prayer of thanks wtf.  I dunno what took me so long to get a haircut.  (oh ya because i was broke wtf)  The layers on top are really short so when I curl it it bounces more and the ringlets on the bottom look much neater. On our way out of the house, we saw two birds (I think they are husband and wife!) taking baths in our lotus dulang wtf dunno what to call it. Damn cute okay they dip their feathers into the water and then shake themselves dry! I think they are building a nest in one of my mother’s hanging plants too, and once when Fat Her tried to take a peek at their nest, the husband bird got angry and flew around him in a flutter of wings and chirps. (Thank god Fat Her didn’t get shocked and fall off the bench) Another shot of perfect hair in the car. Me and Ooib. Happy Birthday Mummy Ooi I love you!  Were you touched! Rasen 1. WHO HAS USED GRE BOOKS THAT I CAN BUY, BEG, BORROW, STEAL? wtf. I think I will try to get my GREs out of the way first because the GRE has 5 years to expire anyway, so there’s time for me to think properly what I wanna study. And I checked with Princeton Review and GRE classes are going for RM2,000 crazy I don’t even have RM20 to my name ok wtf. So I guess Imma try to study on my own, so whoever has any idea where I can get my hands on used copies (brand new ones are selling for RM100+) please leave a comment! Or email me at afooi@mtholyoke.edu wtf. 2. I hate the media la ok sigh. Thanks to it no girl is totally insusceptible to feeling fat. I weigh all of 36 kg and I know I am too skinny but sometimes I look at photos of myself and cringe at how fat my arms look or how big my face is or how chunky my calves are. This is insanity ok if I were to see pictures of someone else my size I would say very excitedly “eh why this girl so thin wan is she anorexic” wtf. Seriously I swear most of us have anorexic tendencies inside due to the media’s warped perception of beauty la. Like I really really do know that I am small and skinny but I don’t know why sometimes I just think I look fat or it occurs to me that I shouldn’t eat so much carbs lest it catches up with me (not that I ever act on this thought ok wtf). Haih fuck the media la wtf. 3. Night market with Hsin, Mitchy, Dennis and Karen! I haven’t been to the pasar malam for ages, my childhood memories of the night market consist of heat, trash on the ground, a lot of old women with Phua Chu Kang perms, dragging my heels around, dawdling waiting for my mom to buying vegetables/kuih/haggling with the stall keeper, hoping to see the dyed blue and pink chicks, and having my mother buy me sets of tshirts and shorts with a yellow-faced Mickey Mouse on them wtf. In other words, I hated the night market. But because Ang Moh is here and Hsin wants to take him on a tour of all things Malaysian, we set off for the pasar malam in Connaught (apparently the mother of all night markets wtf) (BTW! Let me tell you about this Hsin she damn bad ok! Once she and Ang Moh were in a bubble tea cafe or something I forgot what it was and then I happened to be outside the store looking at snacks or something. I was wearing a green tshirt dress with a yellow belt and pink flats I think. And cos her eyesight very bad she saw me and nudged Ang Moh and said “Eh bad color combination coming our way” WTF IS THIS IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL MY BEST FRIEND Then Ang Moh turned around and said “That’s Audrey” haih what is this even her boyfriend can recognize me and she can’t.) Ok anyway back to night market! It was very interesting! So many cute things to buy these days I was enthralled. And so many cheap shoes but they also look cheap wtf. Mitchy looking at Lesportsac *cough cough The cutest kuih! Doraemon, Kitty chan, Pikachu, My Melody (melody song wtf), er whats this one called Kero Keroppi ar, and Tare Panda. The uncle pouring the batter to make the kuih. Er Dennis, if you’ve killed Doraemon I’d like his doko de mo doa please. Ang Moh ecstatic about satay. Using my newly bought fan to cool off the ban chang kueh. Night market was hotter than I remembered! Or maybe I have just forgotten how much I hate heat. Then I spied a stall selling battery-operated mini fans! The fans are at the bottom of the picture. So cute okay they had Hello Kitty fans too but they were kind of ugly. I picked this dark pink one, it was so cute it was painted to look like it was a little person dressed in a strawberry outfit Dennis using a light pink fan to cool Karen down. I walked away from the stall perfectly satisfied with my purchase. Observe how it moves with such speed and precision! wtf. This was about when the blades picked up the ends of my hair and knotted it around the fan T_______________T Damn scary ok I could feel my hair getting pulled further and further into the fan and I screamed “MY HAIR MY HAIR” and dodged around Dennis and Karen to Hsin for help T____________T By then I had the sense to turn off the fan but it was too late my hair already looked like dreadlocks by then T__________T I was laughing but I was also near tears T3T And then to top things off, because I screamed so loud people stopped and stared at pointed at me T____________T Like kelefeh only okay! And then a crowd materialized causing a human traffic jam because everyone stopped to look at me just kill me la T_______________T And then right because Dennis was trying to entangle my hair while Hsin and Mitchy went in search for scissors (!!), this stupid stall woman yelled at me okay magecibai my hair already like that she had to add insult to injury eat shit la I hope she didn’t have business that night wtf. She yelled in Cantonese “if you wanna cut your hair please stand to the side don’t stand in front of my stall and block my business” WTF I was already very pissed so I shouted back (in English sigh if there is a reason I should learn Cantonese it’s that I can yell back at mean people) “My hair like that you think I want ar! I wanna stand here why I cannot stand here!” while Dennis ushered me to the side muttering “okok don’t fight don’t fight” wtf. Anyway, Hsin came back with scissors borrowed from another stall and snipped off my hair that was stuck to the fan T3T And I spent the rest of the night in quiet gloom. While everyone gallivanted happily buying food and things, I followed them silently and tried to detangle my dreadlocks wtf. Finally my hair got detangled! Albeit it being all kinky and quite gross. Then I turned on my fan again AND GOT MY HAIR CAUGHT IN IT AGAIN. But this time I quickly turned off the fan so only a small dreadlock was produced wtf. This could only happen to me, can’t you see, can’t you see? - The Beatles, “I should have known better” wtf wtf. Konayuki When in gloom, go do your hair! I am not spinning any lies! This is what has made me get over countless exes wtf. Waiting for my love to come pick me up now! Will update later, if not nice then Imma shut down this blog WTF. *************************************************************** Ok so it was a much needed day of girly pampering with Tze T3T I got my hair cut while she had her nails and eyebrows done. The guy plucked her eyebrows until she cried and lost her double eyelid hahahahaha and spent the rest of the day trying to force one back out wtf. And then we sat down in Starbucks to talk about life and finding soulmates wtf (I’ve already found my Angie T3T but not my male soulmate wtf) I’ve always believed that there is a soulmate for every person but you just have to find that person. And I always like to dream about who my soulmate might be, whether I’ve already met him but not know it, or if he’s still somewhere out there waiting to find me. Yalah I’m a romantic of the worst kind. We also spent a lot of time in Topshop trying to get Tze in and out of the tightest dress in the world wtf. At one point she was encased in it like it was a piece of toilet paper cardboard hahahaahahha. Yalah my hair not much difference also I came back and nobody noticed anything different T_T Except maybe its an inch shorter and more layered but just one inch makes such a difference ok I feel like it’s damn short now. Imma keep quiet and wait for someone from my family to notice wtf. My hair before haircut. Hui Wen, Tze and me during one of our Bangsar outings. Anyway, to dispel the gloom of the last post a bit, here are a bunch of things that make me laugh: Pictures from icanhascheezburger.com! As though it’s not obvious that I am a sucker for panda pictures! DAMN DAMN CUTE why all of them crawling over each other T_______T HAHAHAHA i don’t even like cats but the cats here are all damn stupid looking! It’s me and Ooib’s pasttime to look at icanhascheezburger together and I think Suet’s getting addicted too wtf. Oh and for those who read Tze and know about our conversation on nasi kangkang: (for non-Malaysians, nasi = rice, kangkang = open legs, nasi kangkang = legs-open rice wtf) *princess aud ❤: YA WHY AR (2:32 PM) *princess aud ❤: she fed him period blood isit wtf (2:32 PM) tzeching.: YA SEROIUSLY i cannot understand! (2:33 PM) tzeching.: why! (2:33 PM) tzeching.: WTF (2:33 PM) tzeching.: HOW   (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: WTF (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: or nasi kangkang wtf (2:33 PM) tzeching.: WTF WHAT IS THAT (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: u put the bowl or rice on the floor n stand over it (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: with ur pants off WTF (2:33 PM) tzeching.: WTF (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: then let the steam condense on ur petpet WTF (2:33 PM) *princess aud ❤: n let it drip back into the rice WTF (2:33 PM) tzeching.: HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA AUDREY OOI HOW CAN U KNOW ALL THIS NONSENSE HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA (2:34 PM) *princess aud ❤: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH SUET TEACH WAN (2:34 PM) tzeching.: WHY SO DISGUSTING AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (2:34 PM) *princess aud ❤: YA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA         Then we were still laughing about this today wtf.So we googled it and I found this forum talking about nasi kangkang damn sohai ok! This guy called Mask of Zorro said: Tapi tidak mengapa, jika muka puan jernih, kemanjaan, mulut terpelihara, pandai mengambil hati suami serta memberi layanan mesra, suami akan dekat kepada puan. Sebaliknya………. Mulut semacam ‘Lazer’, kuat main ‘Kipas Besar’ atau suka mengampu orang kata, perangai brutal serta gelojoh dan macam-macam ada………. sekalipun dikangkang dan diludah nasi………. ……….suami (sekalipun gorilla) akan lari juga!. [Translation: it doesn’t matter, if your face is clear wtf, are manja / sa jiao / amaeru wtf, are good at making your husband happy as well as give affectionate treatment, your husband will come near. On the other hand, if mouth like laser WTF, talk cock or like to kiss people’s ass WTF, brutal behavior WTF or rough, even if you stand over the rice or spit in the rice, even if your husband is a gorilla he will run away] WTF HAAHAHAHAHAH WHY GOT SUCH PEOPLE TALK LIKE THAT WAN DAMN SOHAI HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH And then another person posted: aku penah nampak depan mata aku nasi kangkang ni..masa aku makan kat kedai..mamak yg antar nasi kat kita org telangar kucing kat tepi meja..mamak tu jatuh tekangkang..aku rasa sbb tu kot nama nasi kangkang ni timbol. [Translation: I have seen in front of my eyes, this nasi kangkang. At that time I was eating in a restaurant. The mamak that sent us our food banged into a cat at the side of the table… the mamak fell down with his legs open. I think it should be because of that that the name “nasi kangkang” originated.] WTF HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH EVEN MORE SOHAI WHAT IS THIS HAHAHAHAHAHAAH WHY HE SIMPLY ANYHOW THEORIZE THIS IS HOW NASI KANGKANG CAME ABOUT And then someone else asked “What do you eat nasi kangkang with?” Someone answered him “I think you eat it with Hainanese chicken” WTF HAHAHHA I WILL NEVER LOOK AT CHICKEN RICE THE SAME WAY AGAIN Ok la enough I just realized I haven’t showered wtf because when they cut my hair today they also washed it and I felt my hair very clean and so forgot to bathe WTF. Go bathe now babai. I don’t know 求職が大変だ。 結局に,仕事の機会をもらった。 だけどこの仕事をすれば、本当にたくさん家族とか友達とかと楽しいことできないので悲しくて合間だ。 RedangやPhuketやMSLSやお母さんの誕生日も行けないようになった。：（ ======================= 分からないのはどうして男がそんなに冷酷なこともできるかな。それは本当に分からなくて不思議なことだって思う。 彼女がいっても、ほかの子とデートする。。。それは男の中に大丈夫だと思われる。 それで、 好きな子は彼氏がいっても、それも大丈夫だ。「結婚してないなら、まだ機会がある」っていう考えは男の中にたくさんある。 彼女と別れるとき、前のガールフレンドを探して悲しき持ちを伝える。それは冷酷すぎるんじゃないの？利己的じゃないの？ あるとき私は男に対するあきらめる気持ちを持つ。だって男はすごくわがままだって思う。自分のことだけ考えて、自分の楽しか考えない。 もういやや。 I went shopping today for office wear. I got gloomier and gloomier as the day went on because every piece of clothing I looked at was black, grey or brown. I tried on black blazer after black blazer until I felt like I was going to melt into a faceless corporate pool of white collar serfs wtf. I know there is usually a lot of leeway especially in Malaysia, when it comes to women’s office clothes. There are pants and skirts, shirts and blouses and blazers, colors and fabrics to play with, pastels, charcoal greys, bright whites, basic beiges. Mix and match with tweed and cotton, silk and satin and lace and you have limitless options to choose from. But I have been offered a position where I have to put on the most conservative outfits day after day. The company rules say NO TRENDY CLOTHING WTF.   And no skirts above the knee. But this is a place where I have wanted to work in for the longest time. And at the same time, I can’t imagine stifling myself in starched shirts and sensible pumps everyday. I mean I love clothes and all, but I never imagined I would be so badly hit by the realization that this is could be my life for at least a while.  (well obviously, it’s not really about the clothes but the fact that I would be restricted and so similar to everyone else.) And to top it off, I don’t know for sure if I’m taking this position yet, I don’t know where else I should go if this job doesn’t come through.  I don’t know anything in my life and it’s killing me.  And sometimes - not often, but sometimes - I don’t know who the people I thought I knew are. Written by a very confused and unhappy Aud. 外人さんと海外旅行 Hsin is back!  My darling beloved Hsin whom I haven’t seen in two years which is very long considering we have been best friends since we were 11 because we were too ugly to be friends with anyone else wtf. So yesterday Tourguide Aud and Tourguide Hsin took Tourist Ang Moh out for a quick run around KL! Ie. to Pasar Seni for him to buy souvenirs for family wtf. We had a lot of fun!  It’s been a long time since I went to places just to take pictures with props. Actually not that long ago it just feels long ago because I miss Angela and Mild T_____________T Mr and Mrs Tourist Ang Moh sharing a delicate moment somewhere in KL Central wtf. Tourguide Aud sharing a sweet moment with some turtles wtf.  Taken in conjunction with Hsin finding out I mistook a plastic tortoise for a real one when I went to the Butterfly Farm =.= Lobsters in a pet shop =.= Honestly, who is going to buy lobsters for their pet! In the LRT station. 15 inches taller than me T___________T Then we saw this old man sleeping sitting up with his mouth open hahahaha I pretended to take a photo of Hsin but really cleverly snapped a shot of him instead.  But then I felt sorry for him because his family didn’t seem to care about him and just walked off while he stayed behind gathering things up before hurrying after them T_________T Tourguide Hsin having an affair on the job WTF.  Supposed to take people around but fall in love instead wtf wtf. And then Ang Moh took stupid random pictures of us. I think this is either called Lorong Melayu or Chinese Strait or something. I actually really love Pasar Seni / Central Market!  There’s so many interesting things to look at and you can always bargain like an auntie then when you finally buy something here you feel so smug wtf. So many hairbands!  I was trying to find the price tags but couldn’t so I didn’t buy wtf.  Ya I’m broke what else is new wtf. So sweet the tiny clogs!  I wanted to buy but I always want to buy these clogs and then I come home and toss them aside wtf. I want to buy new glasses!  I don’t know why my current ones and these are nearly the same, dark plastic rectangular frames but I think these look so much better.  The grass is always greener on the other side wtf. These are damn cool!  I woulda gotten the white ones but they were too big for my face (like nearly every other pair of shades)Ya just look at me wearing two pairs of sunglasses at once wtf at least Hsin had the good sense to take hers off her head first. Hsin’s caption for this on facebook was: “one too short, one too tall” WTF and I found it damn hilarious I dunno why my sense of humor makes people want to faint T_T Like I have a joke for you! What is the largest city in Malaysia? (only for Malaysians) City Nurhaliza WTF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA And why is a pirate a pirate? Because they HARRRR WTF HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA Ok anyway. This sign was up on a tshirt stall hahahaha damn funny! The fine print says: “and to the person who stole our last sign - we wish for you a lifetime of diarrhoea and for passing jumbo jets to regularly  empty their toilet holds on your head.” HAHAHAHAH WHY SO VENGEFUL Chairman Mao inspired shirts!  Mickey Maos and Mighty Maos hahahahaha I wanted to buy one but they already said they don’t have the margin to bargin wtf. hahahahaahahha yea right as though China will ever have elections.  And as though Bush can ever have erections WTFWTF I’m talking rubbish wtf. Malaysian English wtf.  If it’s anything to feel better about, Manglish is VERY infectious and most of my non-Malaysian close friends have picked it up to some extent. OH MY GOD HELLO KITTY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU BOOHOO. Papparazzi shot! (Actually we forced Ang Moh to run across the road first so he could take pictures of us walking why are we like this T_T) The end.

Anyway I was in Penang for a day last weekend. When we departed for it, I was damn enthusiastic about taking pictures to commemorate the trip (dunno for what also since I was born in Penang and have been back 4095309303505 times) I realize ever since I’m not with Angie and Mild anymore I hardly take pics! And Mild says the same thing too why ar is it some special chemistry we have that makes us take thousands of pics at a time. Is a lansi face wtf. While waiting in the car for Ooib to finish shitting damn fan ok slow all of us down wtf. Me and Fat Her in Bidor. As you can see I was terribly bored. Since when do I take pictures of processed food! Suet and Ooib engaged in the process of eating. So was Fat Her wtf. My nails! Part of my costume for Nuffnang’s Wild Live thingy. Petai! Petai man! wtf. Then Fat Her bought some bread (to eat with curry) what is this dish called. With the shop uncle wtf. A few months ago I wrote this about our family trips to Penang. “We always drove by this lime or quartz hill that was shaped like a monkey’s head because miners had been extracting stone from it. I don’t know how it ended up looking like a monkey, but in my head I always called it Sun Wugong. In the past few years though, the hill’s getting more and more eroded and looks nothing like Sun Wugong now.” The mountain in the picture above is the monkey’s head. Can you imagine the greenery on top as the monkey’s fur and the sand and stone where his face used to be? My outfit for Wild Live! I was a bee! That’s where my nails came in, bees and flowers go together ma! But I am not sure if I want to blog about it because everyone else did and I looked like shit in most of the pictures it’s the Big Event Syndrome I tell you where in a big event where it’s so important you look good you will inadvertently look like crap. T___________T Docchi ga taipu yo I applied for two different jobs and they are as different as can be! One is obviously in a field where I get to meet a lot of people and brainstorm and speak to different types of people (and hopefully travel). The other is doing a lot of research and academic work and being very exact and serious about detail. Both so conflicting but I really want to try doing both!  Split personality wtf. I was thinking how nice if I could hold two jobs at the same time wtf. The second job could turn out to be really restrictive, like today I was in the office and everyone was so quiet!  And serious and focused and there I was babbling to the people near me and then trying to shush myself when I realized I was being too noisy wtf. But after doing my thesis, I realized that I really like research and being meticulous and I feel such a strong sense of accomplishment doing something that I am not accustomed to, ie. paying lots of attention to detail,  actually seeing a project through to the end wtf, and working to produce a perfect piece. (usually I  quickly and carelessly do an okay job and then stop without trying to improve it any further.  Like in SPM also I would faster finish everything then sit back and draw on the back of my paper WTF.  No wonder all my mistakes in Add Math were careless mistakes in calculation.  And even my drawings which started out damn detailed would peter out into rough sketches as I lost interest.) So I dunno la the first job is something I always thought I would end up doing.  The second is something I NEVER thought i would do but for once I want to challenge myself and see how much I can achieve by doing something I am not so used to. Aiya why am I talking so much not like any of them offered me a job yet also wtf. Anyway today me and Ooib and Suet and Fat Her were at WIP in Bangsar for a late dinner. The bar was open and people were having dinner/drinks. Then got this woman! Quite plump, not very pretty, boring haircut, wearing a tshirt under her floral spaghetti strap dress (worst combination ever) She started making out with this boring-looking wavy hair but middle parting guy at the bar. We were damn disgusted ok!  Old people should never behave like that! I said to Suet, “so this is what old people partying looks like” wtf. But damn disgusting ok that woman I think she must not have had a childhood or something. Because she was sitting on one guy’s lap while holding hands with the other and both men (who are obviously problematic too) were lapping it up. Then she started hopping around and pouting god save me. Then she (I dunno real or not) stumbled across the floor because she was drunk and one of the guys caught hold of her eagerly wtf. And then she started whining in a voice much higher than Angela’s that sounded like “nininininininini” wtf. Goddamn annoying la okay.  Seriously so old already still act like she’s in Maison wtf. Ok la not that old I think she’s about 30 or so but at that age wouldn’t you know when your drinking limit is!  And know not to degrade yourself  like that in public.  Seriously please grow up la I felt sad for all womankind wtf. Oh yea and apparently this happened to Fat Her’s friend’s friend so please be careful wtf. Fat Her told me that most guys take off their pants when they’re pooping in public toilets is this true! he said something about guys legs not being able to bend well wtf. Anyway the friend hung his pants on the door and sat down to shit. Suddenly someone threw water under the door at his legs WTF. In his surprise and panic to avoid the water, he didn’t notice that the person reached above the door and stole his pants WTF. And he was left with no pants or underwear so he had to come out of the toilet bottomless to look for his pants wtf. I think he found them in a nearby dustbin but without his wallet and phone. I think Imma hug my bag to my chest while I pee now T3T
