MTV Made Me Do It I went for a 45-minute coffee yesterday with AshleyTheMonkey, as she urgently wanted to discuss something. Halfway through, director Peter calls me from Singapore to tell me his idea for a video we’re too shoot this week. “I’m thinking of shooting you in a Carrie in Sex and the City kinda angle, because of how you access most of your work through the internet. So we want to do it in your bedroom,” he explains enthusiastically. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea…” i said, while gawking inwardly at yet another Carrie comparison. Certain things have become so uncanny, it has become ironic. After some back-and-forth conversation, i admit that it’s a great approach to the video but still went, “Really. I don’t think it’s the best idea to shoot in my room…” as i overhear Ashley howling with laughter. Because of all people. She has an idea of what my room might look like. I don’t let people into my room, you see. Hence the reason for me to… sort out a whole load of shit in my room. I’ve heard before it looks like a boutique instead of a bedroom. But a very messy boutique. With a lot of clean clothes and accessories and books strewn everywhere. OH GAWD. The trauma i went through starting to clean it today. Starting is the hardest part. Continuing with the process is easier. I took AGES starting - i had breakfast… then surfed online. Then my brother went to tapau lunch. So i waited for lunch (cos hey, no point starting to clean without having a proper meal in you, ey?) Ate lunch. Had after-lunch ‘break’ >. It was when i realised how i hate going through friend requests and here i am clicking on them, was when it hit me, “Okay. I’m obviously procrastinating like hai. Start. Room. Now.” And i did. Damn what a lot of crap i found. Inevitably, i ran out three hours later to have some Guinness. As a reward, y’know? Hmm will continue later. Or tomorrow. A(nother) New Hairdo I’ve been having the most gorgeous holiday so far… in KL Got my hair done today, by Milcah of course. I’m not back to firecracker red. But this is something that… shocked myself as i sat in the chair staring at my reflection. Even made AshleyTheMonkey go, “Holy fuck!” when we met up for quick coffee earlier. Made my dad go, “You look like a character from Noddy.” Have to run out now. Laters! Selamat Hari Raya! It’s a late wish but a sincere one nevertheless! Damn, want to write more, but i gotta rush off to lounge by the pool and soak in some rays! SalahWrong Appearance #2 @ Ribut 10:59 SarChan and i stayed back in the office on Friday night and sorted out our playlist before heading to Changkat BB for our SalahWrong gig for Ribut at Cloth & Clef. I dragged her to Flam’s to grab some tapas and wine, raving to her that she had to try the new tapas menu they’ve come up with a month ago. Love the wagyu beef sausages + gorgonzola cheese, and oysters for RM4 a piece. Everytime i go there to catch up/have a meeting, i’ll always sit in the SAME spot. Creature of habit. We got a splitter for our headphones this time, so no passing back and forth of one set headphones :p JustinLim + ClaudiaOnCrack RowdyRudy + C&C owner Ethaya SpankyCammy + ClaudiaOnCrack We keep on correcting people who say we DJ. We don’t know how to DJ okay… we just choose songs, mix a lil, fuck up a bit, and press play. >. RezaSexyGrin +CloudsBigGrin SpankyCammy + AshleyTheMonkey Jin + AdamPoserPan Ethaya fed SarChan and me long island tea, which was damn 9 strong..! I super jiao tut on it that night, felt it, and let SarChan run off with the jug. Kevin Yeohhhhhhhh RowdyRudy’s foot has been in a cast for two weeks, so if you’re wondering why you didn’t hear him on air for a week, it’s because he was seriously bedridden for a while. He’s been telling people he got injured saving a girl from a rapist. In actuality… he… *whispers*tripped on a pebble* NurMeiLing, me with my obvious new obsession with bright coral, Olivia I’ll leave you with a picture of SarChan and i doing what we did best that night… Play our songs and LAYAN PARTAY! Even if some of you couldn’t handle our powerchicktrip music, the whole point of us playing is because nobody in KL plays the songs we want to hear  I’m A Proper Drink, That I Am! Rushing (as always), i spoke on the phone outside Attic bar before heading upstairs where it’s noisier. And i noticed something i didn’t even know was there! The drink from my guest bartending episode is on the menu outside It’s damn kau though. KrazyKatKyan made it for us last week, and after two events and muchos wine, i couldn’t finish it myself. >. A drink that’s too strong for me to handle? Damn right yo! Attic 61-2 Jalan Bangkung Bukit Bandaraya Bangsar Kuala Lumpur Tel: 2093 8842 info@attickl.com Bali > StephTheVolcano’s Pix I would think it goes without saying what a brilliant time i had in Bali… Have hundreds of pictures and don’t have much time to sort through now. I want to put StephTheVolcano’s pictures up first, cos she edited them so beautifully and would be a waste left unshared! SpankyCammy + i hiding behind her hair The Dr. Seuss party table cloth i brought fit the dining table perfectly! Accessories and random colourful pieces of clothing to thrown on when partying Going into Dreamland beach… first time i went there was Nov 07. StephTheVolcano and i = the Polka Dot Pair Our beeyootiful villa garden with the beeyoootiful frowers. The giant soft toy flower confused Marcus (the villa dude) who ended up staring at the bush for a while, wondering since when did the flowers in his garden grow so huge. DarlingDhanya, moi, Aps + SpankyCammy (Steph was taking the picture) We went to the end of the world… At Maccararoni across Sky Garden in Kuta: I was so semangat to bring them to S.O.S. on Anantara but it’s closed for renovation Didn’t matter cos enjoying the sunset on the beach there was so beautiful, (okay, prollie more beautiful on shrooms as well) i almost cried. Partying crazy on the last day… I was transfixed with my hula hoop during the last two days there. I call it my Circle of Peace. SpankyCammy + StephTheVolcano I commented on FB i don’t know why i’m jumping like that… Everyone’s jumping so nicely, and i’m jumping like a monkey. No. A gorilla. A boxing gorilla. ROARRRR!!! Then Steph tagged another picture, i CAN jump properly after all! Wee!!! I loved traveling with just the four of them. There were no tiffs, no beef. It was all love and laughter. I think i laughed the most those 5 days, then i did any other time of the year. Seeing we always have a blast when we make time to go out for dinners together, spending 5 days together was heavenly. Facing an entire page full of unread work emails when i got back got me groaning like shit. “How was your trip?” asked Adrian on Wednesday morning. I turned around in my computer chair and flatly said - “I’ve decided, that i don’t want to work for you anymore. I want to open a shroom shop. Yesss…” He merely laughed and asked where. Why doesn’t anyone take me seriously!? I’m serious! The Pretend Beam It was windy, as the ledge i was on, was high in the air. On my left was a massive forest stretched out below. If i fell, i’d probably break ten bones before hitting the ground in pain. That is, if i was still alive by then. On my right, spread the ocean. Brilliant blue and pretty calm from where i lay. Then again, i was high up from it, so even if there were wild waves, they’d look tame from here. I looked down on either side of me - this is amazing! Everything stretched so far and wide… Only few have ever witnessed something like this! I’m so lucky! Crazy! Unbelievable! I sighed happily and took the whole scene in, basking in the glory of my position. “What are you doing?” a voice broke my enthusiastic thoughts. “I’m pretending…” “… What?” “I’m pretending.” “What exactly are you pretending?” she queried. “I… nevermind,” I sighed. It would take too long to explain, and balancing on the marvelous beam was quite an effort as it was. “Why do you have to pretend… there?” “Well”, i started saying, “We’ve been taking shrooms so much, things aren’t moving anymore. The stones have stopped jumping. But i discovered, the trick is, to observe things from an angle.” “I see…” And i could see she was about to laugh at me. “You’re really trying to squeeze as much out of this, aren’t you?” SpankyCammy stood in front of me. “Well, yes. There’s no point wasting it. Can you get off my pretend beam?” “What?” “My pretend beam. You’re stepping on my pretend beam.” She pooh-poohed me, “Oh-kay,” and stood on the grass forest on my left. “What is your pretend beam?” “This,” i waved impatiently at the ledge i was lying on. “This is my pretend beam. And you were totally standing on it. How am i to pretend when you’re in the way?” I tried to go back to my pretending but she still stood there, bitching away about my pretend beam. I sighed. “Can’t people pretend in peace anymore?” “Yes you can, i’m not stopping you, la la la…” Bitch dipped her feet into the pool sea and started walking all over my pretend beam, leaving wet footprints behind. All over. My pretend beam. “You bitch!” i half-scolded, half-laughed at her. “Get off my pretend beam! Can’t you go do something somewhere else!!!” She stopped skipping all over my pretend beam and stared at me, realising i still wasn’t getting up and out of my imagination game. Out of nowhere, Aps appeared. “What are you all doing?” she asked as she sat down by the side of the pool on my pretend beam. “I’m pretending and Cammy’s bothering me,” i replied, “Could you please get off my pretend beam?” “Yeah, you can’t do anything there. Else she starts bitching,” Cammy offered up to Aps. Aps promptly jumped up and looked down where she sat, unsure of whether she’d ruined something i had arranged there. Cammy stood there, exasperated that i didn’t want to entertain her. “Where’s your camera?” she asked, “I want to take a picture of this MADNESS.” I laughed so hard i almost fell off my beam. I got off in the end. She totally spoilt it for me. Couldn’t stop bitching about it all night though, much to her distress. Malam Ants Have Sex In Your Beer Don’t ask me what that means… cos i have no clue either. But what you *can* do is ask the dudes responsible for that whack title tomorrow night. Twilight Actiongirl will be spinning at Cloth & Clef, and SalahWrong will be opening for them. Ethan asked SarChan whether we’d play first set, but i was in Bali then, so we only confirmed when i got back. I was thinking since we don’t have any events to attend Fri night, why not! SalahWrong will be on from 10:30pm till midnight. We hope more girls will turn up, cos the music we’re playing is very… well, girlie powerpop + dance + rock. Don’t think the guys will like it, but the chicks will! Facebook group *here* Can I Just Move Here? Just waiting for other pages to load so blogging while at it. I made my way out of the villa by myself cos i needed to settle some stuff online. Just walking through the narrow lanes with high walls on either side with the intense blue sky above is so enjoyable. We totally decked our villa up with streamers, colourful scarves, lanterns, toys and lots of food. Oh, and i built a tent. Under the table. It’s freaking awesome! We went out to buy food to cook brekkie with this morn - pork sausages, garlic sausages, corn beef, french toast, and baked beans. Simple stuff, but somehow, cooking food yourself makes it taste more amazing. It’s prollie just in our heads. (okay i left this post for half hour while i did my work, stuff done) Gonna run back to villa now to play! adidas yoga + dance gathering SarChan and i rushed for the adidas yoga event some time back. At first we were both worrying that we weren’t dressed appropriately (read: in exercise attire) for it, but we realised how ridiculous it would be to attempt exercising after a tiring day of work, and then shoot of for our pseudo-dj SalahWrong gig. We arrived at Gardens hotel to see an insanely long line for the buffet dinner. (No, this isn’t the line, this is a simple shot of people on one side of the room as i ate) We settled for salad and fruits instead, where there was no queue. Don’t get us wrong, (hmm salahwrong.. ha ha) we love our salads and fruits. But when one is starving… fibre alone just doesn’t cut it. I peeked into the main hall area where the yoga and dance workshop was to be held… Saw WhackyDaph hosting something for the cam… We got ushered into another room at the back where some of the more well-known personalities were, to make an appearance. I was chatting to them when people started taking pictures of us, and i realised i did NOT fit into the picture theme, what with my work clothes and all! 0_- Ninie, WhackyDaph, DeborahHenry, SunshineySteph Ninie, the superbly flexible yoga instructor Picture courtesy of Femmething SpicySazzy looking like she’s doing a watch ad Picture courtesy of Femmething Ninie looks like she has more muskels than Henry (who’s the new 8tv Quickie host if you didn’t know. Well i haven’t watched yet. I’m never at home :p) After all the camwhoring and canoodling around, everyone went into the main hall as the event was about to start. Supermodel AmberChia went on stage the first to, well, pose (which is what she does best ey?) All the photographers who couldn’t get enough of taking shots… All the celebs took turn going on stage to pose for the cam. And then the yoga classes started… Picture courtesy of Femmething I was obvoiusly a spectator more than a participant cos i had to rush off. But i have to say… everyone looked so into it, i wish i didn’t have another event to commit to, else i’d be trying to join in the twisting and exercise. Looks so calm… non? Picture courtesy of Femmething Best picture for last: Auntie cannot make it. Picture courtesy of Femmething Oh That Thing Again Oh i did that thing again The one where i pack super last minute and THROW things into my bag Funny how my priorities lie First things were my toys - streamers, mr. elephant, magnetic doodle sketch pad, soft toy flowers, hula hoops (okay fine. they don’t fit, we’re hand-carrying them), and others i don’t remember. Then flew in colourful slips, dresses, scarves, necklaces and belts to twirl around and go crazy in. Then i realised i didn’t even pack PROPER clothes to wear. -_- okay have to rush work before i leave. Standard :p Less Than 36 Hours You know what will happen in less than 36 hours? Less than 36 hours, i will be in BALI BABY! (it has to be said with enthusiastic accent i’ve been spurting consistently, SpankyCammy does it as well ) So before that it’s a bit suffering - finishing work, making sure other things are settled while i’m gone. But soon… soonnnnn i will be in Bali (one of my favourite places in the world!) with four of my favourite girls in the world! Just the five of us for five days. In a villa. With a private swimming pool. And happy colourful props and toys and streamers. Accompanied by the sounds of Disney and all happy indie rock music we’ve accumulated. With shrooms of course. GAWD we’ve been planning this trip for so long! Oh, Trust Me To Do That. Trust me to be your friend. Trust me to laugh at your jokes. Trust me to cry when you weep. Trust me to be by your side should i feel you need me. Trust me to visit you at the hospital should you fall sick. … And trust me to go to the wrong hospital cos i’m so blur. One of my darling girlies has been in the hosipital since last week (erm i won’t write her name cos i’m not sure she wants people to know). Seeing visiting hours end at 9:30pm, i tapaued myself duck rice for dinner and headed to Assunta Hospital (or so i thought). Damn. Big hospital… er… which way should i walk… 0_o I headed for the nearest desk i could spot and asked, “Excuse me, where’s Melati Ward?” “Melati Ward… there’s no Melati Ward here…” “Eh?” I checked my phone for the room she’s in, while the couple of staff looked on. “Well… she said Melati ward…” Oh no… “Is this Assunta hospital?” “No. This is University Hospital.” I heard laughter burst out. Of my own mouth. I heard me laughing at myself… In front of strangers. 0_- If anything, i think they thought i should be checked into the hospital. Grinning a sheepish thanks and sorry, i quickly left and picked up my phone, “Babe… i went to the WRONG hospital, fuck!” I had one hour before visiting hours were over -_- She: It’s okay… i feel your love, i feel your fairy-ness, you don’t have to come… Me: No! I’m so close! I even bought dinner to eat while talking to you! I hate driving in PJ cos i always get lost, but thanks FaiTheMai for giving me fantastic concise directions. I made it there in the end. So… i’m not the right person to ask fetch you to a hospital if you’re suddenly ill and need to get to a particular one for insurance’s sake. Prollie fetch you to the wrong one then HL. Happy Birthdays!!! Muchos to KinkyPugKevin on his birthday I’m not sure whether you remember SarChan and i playing Mariah for you during our set cos you were… very happy to say the least. Bit shout out love to PassedOutBen, whose birthday was today. Thanks for coming to Cloth & Clef with AhHoong to listen to my happy music. Though by wearing your black BAXX shirt there, i feel as if you’re trying to steal happy people to the dark side. If anything, AhHoong has come to the dark side cos he started blogging! Haha! *click here* I’m wearing the blue hat IceCalvin passed to me last night. We bought it in Bangkok and he’s been holding it hostage since. This won’t be a long post cos i have other work to do, will blog a niceeee longgggg one this weekend. Maybe. If my semangat still there :p me, AshleyTheMonkey, SarChan Ash is wearing this gorgeous top with stars that flap around. Initially, when SarChan and i were playing the first two tracks, we were like, hmm. What do we do… la la la… cos not many ppl were there yet and we weren’t ‘feeling’ it. After a couple more drinks and few tracks down the line (to happier bouncier ones!) we started layaning diri and Ash got a shot which i took from FB. We didn’t anticipate that only one of us got to wear the headphones at a time (wearing them and fooling around with the CDJ is so much more fun with two!) so had a system where one works, while the other busies herself with anything else (yeah i’m busying myself dancing here ha ha); then switch. PassedOutBen: Where’s your headphones? Me: In my bag. POB: Why you not wearing? Me: It can only hook up one… so we take turns la. POB: Don’t care, wear only! No one will know it’s not hooked up! You have to look busy! Just wear it and act stressed! Me: wtf VincentPaulYong, JustinYap, KinkyBlueHat A nice surprise was all the fash industry boys came out to play! So rare cos the only times i get to party with them is during and after fashion events. Other nights they’re shooting/designing/sewing. I left my camera with them for half an hour. Half an hour okay. It came back to me with over FIFTY pictures of themselves cam-whoring. 0_o Can die. KrazyKatKyan was shouting, “Okay! Pose! Think Spring Summer! Spring SUMMER!!!” Then we’d all (tipsily) pose freaking shamelessly but it was super funny. And that was just when i was around them -_- So because i have sooooooo many pictures, i need more time to pick and blog okay? One last picture before we tutup kedai for mention of Vice Modern Disco - founder Ethan Chuuuu! Love the shorts Ethan. Mmmm sexyyyy ******* Had a shoot today with New Zealand designer Jimmy Lim (who was also partying crazy at VMD ) I’m going to slut him on my blog > urged by Jimmy Choo (YES. THE Jimmy Choo 0_o) to give Malaysia a go, Jimmy came to show in KL last year and has worked with Datuk Bernard Chandran on some projects. We’re both wearing designs from his SS08 collection called Fashion is Boring. Can’t really see what i’m wearing but you’ll see it when the shoot’s out, don’t think i can say much about it now so i won’t. Superfairy “How’s your schedule like this week?” asked JustinYap. “It’s packed. Tomorrow work all day, 7pm adidas event, leave around 9, get to cloth and clef by 9:30. Thursday work, lunchtime i have to go for a shoot, go back to office, after work rush for dinner gathering. Friday work, 7pm Bebe event.” “Oh my god.” “I know right 0_-” The best line of the day (actually a lot of stuff he told me made me shriek and cover my face but it’s too juicy to write here :p) We were discussing other genres of fashion, like streetwear. Justin: I don’t understand why they’re so expensive. Me: It’s a different culture altogether la. Justin: I know one brand… Brotherhood… Me: Brotherhood?…. *thinks*… you mean… Neighbourhood issit… Justin: HAHAHA yeah Neighbourhood!! I couldn’t stop laughing. POB will die when he reads this. Brotherhood… HAHAHA! ********* 3 random pictures from past 7 days: Had wine and guess what it was called?  I *had* to take a picture for you! ******** Been painting for a project that will be exhibited in November. Stepping on my paintbrush = paint on tapak kaki = ticklish to clean off. I dunno la, i layered and layered. Let it dry. Layered some more. Then i realised it looked too complicated (read: like someone shat on it) when i stepped back. Rectify. Headache! Oils are fun, but pencil is definitely easier to manipulate! ******** SarChan and i have picked our happy indie girl powerpop songs for VMD tomorrow. RowdyRudy liked our selection so much he ripped it unto his Mac. Haha. Okay i’m pooped. *runs off to pass out* Bratty And Loving It I voiced out over dinner to RowdyRudy that we had an absolutely bratty Saturday. First, i was supposed to go Skytrex but because of the constant raining, it got cancelled. Consoling ourselves with pollo lasagna and fettucine carbonara, VicG and i went to watch Deception after that at 1U. After the movie, i rushed off to meet RowdyRudy in KL to go to the Matta fair in PWTC to holiday-shop. Now, everyone knows that we it comes to putting the two of us together, it’s like madness and mayhem on a trip. Going into that fair was, in his words, “Putting two kids on crack in a candy store.” And oh my god. Our eyes were darting everywhere in the halls at all the signs screaming numbers, destinations and possibilities of where money can take you. So guess where we’re going… First, we’re disembarking at port klang… Then we arrive at Penang… Then Krabi… Then Phuket… Then Langkawi… WE’RE GOING ON A CRUISE BABY! Wide skies filled with stars at night! Endless sea! Different beaches to roll around and laze on! For one whole week! We went to celebrate our buy after that at Flam’s with French wine Charles recommended, oysters, chicken liver mousse,wagyu beef in cheese, and veggies. As we cheered to our upcoming cruise and giggled like kids on the ADVENTURES we were going to have, the delectable food and wine added to the holiday high in our heads. Moving on to talk about work and ideas for future projects, i said to him, “Hey we work like shit, but we damn well know how to use the money we earn!” Who’s An Old-Timer?! I was standing in the office garden with SarChan and Callen. Sometimes SarChan refers to Callen as VJ Callen. Sometimes she calls him Uncle Callen, cos he’s in his late 30s and has been in the KL clubbing scene for yonks. While casual yakking, the conversation topic hovered on things we collect. SarChan said she keeps her media passes. I said i do too. Then i said i still keep my passes from, “Chicane and Faithless gigs…” Callen: That’s quite long ago. You also old-timer, actually. My jaw dropped. “I can’t believe an old timer just called me an old timer!” i mumbled defensively. What the %#%^*# AUGH i’m so annoyed! Clouds helped me tapau fatty char siew rice from Ampang to eat for lunch, i didn’t feel like eating the whole thing so i wrapped and kept it on the office kitchen counter to save for later. So i tahaned and tahaned cos after that i didn’t have time to eat it. When my stomach was growling till i could hear it through my headphones, i started imagining the taste and texture of char siew in my mouth. *insert Homer Simpson kinda ‘MMMMM’* Char siew…. mmmm Char siew… MmmMmmm You get what i mean. Walked to the kitchen and… nothing there. No. Please don’t tell me someone took it. But why would anyone take half-eaten char siew? Takkan! Walked to the dustbin. Looked in. There it is. My beautiful char siew rice i was saving… In the damn dustbin. Damn upset okay. Can almost cry i swear cos so tired and hungry and someone threw my char siew away. adidas Yoga+Dance Gathering “Babe, are you free on the 10th?” “Er… i have something on the 10th la… sorry.” “What time?” After a bit more of discussion, she got me to agree to attend it. I love my adidas anyway. Searching for past posts on my superstars, i ended up stumbling onto the time i wore adidas to a competitor event two years ago. >. Shy, didn’t mean to. So i’ll be going to an exclusive star-filled yoga+dance gathering by adidas next Wednesday on the 10th at 7pm.

Tak Halal: Siew Yokeeeeeee!!! There’s a new buzz during lunch time in the office that i’ve never experienced in Freeform before… everyone (the non-Muslims, that is) is damn semangat to go out and eat during puasa month! For one, we can go eat without taking into account whether it’s halal or not, since our Muslim colleagues won’t be joining us. And, because it’s puasa month, it’s considerably less jammed on the roads during lunch hour! We plotted the day before to go have the legendary Wong Kee siew yoke (roasted pork) at Pudu today. April, Valene, Clouds and i were all fidgety with hunger cos SarChan was still out interviewing someone and we were waiting for her. Some of us even shifted our meetings around just so we could all go eat siew yoke together! She finally came back to the office at 2pm. We almost mati-ed by then. But it was all WORTH IT. It was my first time eating the siew yoke there cos i’m quite lame when it comes to eating at hawkers around KL, someone *has* to take me else i can’t find the place. SarChan, Warren, Siew Yoke (middle) AprilPikachu I was dissatisfied cos being a slow eater and not piling the food unto my plate to store -_- everyone grabbed the pieces damn fast! Damn tak puas okay. It’s like… i managed to eat two pieces of chicken and four pieces of siew yoke before it was all gone! So we ordered another small plate for slow-eater-me and the others who still wanted more. And daymn. The second plate was even BETTER than the first one! The fatty bits accompanied by crunchy skin that wasn’t too hard, but crisp and juicy. Phwoar. Omg i’m salivating blogging about siew yoke. 0_o It wasn’t super cheap, as each of us paid RM14 for servings of siew yoke and chicken with rice and chinese tea. But goddamn worth it la. There’s just something about the siew yoke… it made us all grinny and dreamy after that. Clouds Even as we trooped back into the office, we were all smiley and i practically pranced in. Joleyn (who doesn’t eat pork) turned around in her seat and i told her bout our heavenly siew yoke lunch. She: … Everyone looks so happy, it’s not even funny man… Where: Wong Kee Coffee Shop 30-1, Jalan Nyonya 55100 Kuala Lumpur Bloggers who wrote about the Wong Kee siew yoke in Pudu: A Whiff of Lemongrass Food4Thot KY Speaks Masak-masak Cumi Dan Ciki Grapewhine Today we’re going on expedition to eat some famous pan mee… woohoo! SalahWrong Debuts! Remember how i call Sarah Chan > Salah Chan. And witty her shot back Joyce Wrong at me? Well we share very similar taste in music hence we joked that our ‘DJ’ names will be Salah Wrong one day. When Ethan (of Vice Modern Disco) asked me to collaborate Cat Got Your Tongue with them on the 10th, i said kenot, it’s fasting month and one half of the Cat Got Your Tongue duo (read: RowdyRudy) has to lay low and puasa. So even though i miss CGYT like crazy (i miss playing my happy music and jumping around with happy colourful people!), i can’t do it. But i can promise CGYT will be back in October So back to answering Ethan Chu - I said i could do it alone, but i might as well do it with SarChan like we planned. Btw, we don’t call ourselves DJs. That’s just shameless. We’re Song Selectors yo. Salah Wrong’s gonna rock it! We be debuting with Chaseylain and Bunga from TAG, and Dudesweet from Bangkok Can you believe our cartoon name is on a flyer, set to play funky chick songs? I can’t believe it too haha! Facebook group *here* Merdeka Weekend One of those rare times i’m super semangat to post up damn a lot of pictures kau kau. I wanted to go away to Tioman for the long weekend, but decided to stay back in the city to finish up some work and sort out the boxes outside my room. Ended up, the work isn’t ready for me to take on, and the room issue… (today) Daddy: Outside your room ar… Me: Yeah, i know… i meant to do it this long weekend… but i lost the plot. Daddy: What do you mean you lost the plot? You writing a storybook is it? Me: -_- Urm, well, this is how i lost the plot. Friday: Haven’t taken a daily dress shot for ages. So dragged ClaudiaOnCrack to take one with me. I’m wearing another one of those vintage finds i got from lapsap junksale and altered. Seems to be my most rewarding shopping activity of late, cos looking for nice prints and sending it to alter, resulting in a dress that NOONE else has touches ten points for shopping orgasm. At night i rushed from city centre to DikHaHaHau’s apartment, where his best boyfriend ever (Mr. Dax Lee) had planned (cos he’s got the apartment keys), decorated, cooked dinner and invited a small group of friends over for Dik’s surprise birthday party. The surprise tak jadi sangat cos Dik saw some of our cars outside >. :p One of Uncle Laitong’s paintings in the bg Eve was adamant that her mojitos had to be made. All us girls went on a cocktail-making rampage after that, mixing diff alcohol and syrups to form ‘our’ drinks. Mine wasn’t too bad, i chucked a shot each of grey goose, bailey’s, malibu, strawberry syrup and yogurt. I tried to layan Levy’s but… it curdled like vomit :p Sorry babe. I tried to like it, i swear i did. Fiona hiding. Eve, Eileen + i Levy, moi, Julie, Ivin Levy and Ivin thought it was a brill plan to buy a man a giant teddy bear for his 34th birthday. And someone thought it was a brill plan for Dax and i to pose with giant teddy bear as if we’re walking our kid to school. Alcohol makes you layan stupid things. 1/2 of Dik … that made me think of a dik and half… Sounds damn salah. Saturday: Saturday night was officially Night Out With PassedOutBen, where we’d planned to catch up over Japanese buffet dinner and drinks (equals one bottle) at Somo. Because i didn’t drive, i drank without having to worry about staying sober, and ended up talking damn a lot of rubbish to AhHoong and Nick. >. I remember POB was trying to make me shut up going, “Don’t listen to her, she’s drunk.” Well, if i can remember that then i wasn’t that drunk right! Though i do remember enough that i told him the next day he should have taped my mouth. SpankyCammy was there too and we played charades. My team totally trashed her team’s ass. Sunday: I wanted to catch up with MaryBerry and called her the moment i woke up. Her croaking “Hello?” hinted she was still in bed too, and despite us not calling each other out for ages, i simply went, “Still want to sleep, or want to go eat?” “Hmm… food sounds good now…” So i picked her up and we went somewhere quiet (omg the jam at all the shopping centres are insane on a public holiday!). Feeling the need to replenish cells i destroyed from drinking the night before, i had chicken salad, celery juice and mashed potatoes at Marmalade in Mont Kiara. MaryBerry had the kid’s pasta. Then i had to throw her off in Bangsar to QueenKanch, before going to pick BigBearHaze and Vic up for a pool party at Marketplace. Mary: Don’t say throw! Make me sound like rubbish! Waaa… Remember how i ate healthy food and greens for lunch to be ‘healthier’? That all got shot to shit one hour later at the party with all the beer and jagermeister bombs we had. Victor Bob I watched the balloon-filled pool outside with earnest while having my drinks. The guys kept on egging me to go in and i didn’t want to, going, “Mmm.. shy… i don’t know anyone in there…” After a few more drinks there’s no such thing as shy. TaiYong + i = the Squat Squad As we were squatting there, a feisty little cowgirl pranced in front of us… Tasha Super racist joke of the day - Gian to Baba - “You’re like, a well done… Kanye West!” I laughed till my mascara ran and i almost fell off the corner of the sofa. Yeah i had to censor the face la… it’s super hancur cannot make it. Quite shy also. Maxi dress from lapsap junksale at a steal for rm58 Yeah, so party party party, finally showed my face at home on Monday afternoon. Three-day weekend. GONE. Just like that! I be going to Bali in a few weeks, wee! No Flash = No Interruption I edited these pictures last week but just never… put them up. I always do that -_- A bit pointless once it’s a long time ago really. Two house parties two sats ago: More Magic Dresses Please “When did you go shopping?” asked DidiBuli, as i showed her two new dresses that had been delivered to me in the office. “I didn’t… i *cough* got them online… while i was surfing… >. You can keep the internet girl away from the stores. But you damn well can’t keep the stores from the internet girl. I saw these psychedelic crazies on Honey Pumpkin last week, and even though they were *sold out*sold out*sold out* (god, the way she writes it is so… final and depressing), NadiaPumpkin ordered me the orange and pearl ones. Tankius I call them my magic dresses. **************** Roads in KL There have been two things that are recently more of a pain lately regarding the roads in KL. One are the potholes. Is it just me, or are there bigger and more potholes of recent?! Ashley said it’s because i’m driving a new car. But i swear i never cursed and avoided so many potholes than i have been for the past few months. Second, are the insane traffic jams that have been taking place of late (i think its due to merdeka stuff, Ahwin thought its cos of a riot). Making my way out of the city for meetings and back are such a PAIN in the ass. I can take the waiting but i hate how i waste time in the jam. Music makes it bearable and almost, enjoyable (if i’m taking a slow drive home). There was this moment when the sun was glinting off roofs of stationary cars, MGMT was playing and i couldn’t help playing director (layan diri in the jam la y’know, what else am i gonna do :p) I showed DidiBuli and she said i’m asking for an accident. I said i was going at 20km/h la! *looks at sky guiltily* ****************** Streething Plays Dirty On another note, ThatGirlCynthia smsed me while i was at work, saying she saw a picture of me next to someone’s pubes on Streething. 0_o Those sort of announcements give you a bad feeling in the pit of your tummy. Accompanied by thoughts of, “oh gawd… please don’t let it be something really bad. nah… it won’t be that bad. how bad can it be?” It’s not SO bad. What happened was, hell, all i did was go for Lapsap at the Loft Zouk on Wed, put on James’ (AdamPoserPan’s friend down from uk) cap on for a bloody TEN seconds, someone shoved a camera in my face, i went something like, “hey… no pictures..!” And then see what happens. A picture of me wearing a cap that reads “Play Dirty” goes up online next to a picture of some dude’s pubes sticking out of his jeans. I play dirty? Streething plays dirty! (i’ll get you back for this…*mutter*mutter*plot*plot*) You know what this is called? It’s called - Damn Misleading Dot Com. -_-”’ Reza Salleh is OFF the Market! Newsflash for Kinkybluefairy clan! Singer/songwriter/owner of sexy lips/all around sweet guy - RezaSexyGrin aka Reza Salleh has been snapped up by young aspiring actress. Very sorry to the Reza Salleh Fan Club. I can almost hear sighs from chicks all around KL as they read this. God i can’t stop laughing as i’m posting this. I guess all you can do now is be a fan on his Facebook page. After Our’s A bunch of us trooped down to KLPAC to watch ClaudiaOnCrack aka Claudia Low act in After Our’s last night. The play was quite shocking and i enjoyed watching something that really pushed the boundaries here in KL. Hmm i got quite offended when some high school boys were making gagging noises when the gay scenes came on though. :p After the play, we hung around for Clauds to come out but i swear, she took so long cos all these fanboys wanted to take pictures with her. I saw Helena and as i was hugging her, asked, “Oh, are you involved in the play?” cos she seemed to know everyone around. She went, “Hmm, well… i directed it…” This is the part i want to bang my head on the wall cos that’s how blur i am. Anyway, if you’re not away during this long Merdeka weekend, you should go watch it (it runs till Sunday). You get to see Clauds sit in bed topless. …Okay fine, with a duvet covering her front. But you also get to see a girl fingering Clauds. …Okay fine, they’re ‘acting’ but erm yeah, it was still very visually impactful. I think my favourite actors for this play was Clauds (cos of shock factor) and Nick. Tried blogging about this last night but after two Guinnesses, i passed out at my pc till 4am. Blog also tak jadi. Anyway, stolen off their FB group: “After Our’s is an edgy relationship comedy about several couples from all walks of life having troubled conversations after sex.. It’s a humorous, yet honest look at the complexity of modern day relationships. Through witty dialogue and compromising situations, the play takes us from the beginning of a relationship to the aftermath of one, examining every stage in between while somehow finding humor within the drama, heartache and confusion of it all. All the couples that is presented are of different backgrounds. They include sex with an ex, sexual exploitation of a friend, coming to terms of homosexuality, teenage experimentation and one night stands. Each segment is interesting in their own right, as they reveal raw emotions and pain. With the variety of scenarios and emotions, one is likely to find a segment that strikes a familiar chord in their own personal lives.” Lesedi Halahala (omg i love his name, Sarah and i can’t stop laughing), Joy Lynn Teh, Alia Nabil, Helena Foo, Claudia Low, Nick Davis George Bull isn’t in the pic Haha do something different and go watch it this weekend. I only paid RM25 for my ticket. How Now? I decided to take Shane and Carmen home from the office after there was a Tortoise Emergency end of last week. Jolene told us one was missing and we (April, Sarah, Clouds and me) RUSHED outside to look for it. AprilPikachu spotted it amongst the rocks. “Is it… dead? Maybe it died in its shell,” ClaudiaOnCrack said, peering closely. “Clouds! Some optimism please!” i breathed exasperatedly. I didn’t want no dead tortoise on my hands. Weekend i didn’t get to take them home cos i passed out and didn’t get the office key off Adlin. Today i spotted them trying out some circus escape stunt and ran to grab my camera. What the… 0_o So i took them home today and asked my mother, “Hey, can i keep my tortoises in your tank?” “What tank. I don’t have a tank.” “Your tank with the plants?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t have a tank.” “Your… pot then. The big pot outside with the plants in,” i rephrased. “…” “Where you used to keep tortoises?” “I don’t keep tortoises there anymore.” “Well, yes, can i keep my tortoises there..?” I swear this is how most of our conversations go -_- “I don’t want you keeping tortoises in the house.” “Why?” “Someone told me it’s not good.” End of story. Er… okay… “So you’re not keeping tortoises cos of superstition?” Silence. Confirmed end of story. Hey. I’m all for superstition. I just never heard of that one before. Shall google it up. So now Shane and Carmen are homeless. How now 0_- TiC Vid Yeah i’m damn useless, been very busy, and didn’t have any pictures to blog about the launch. Here, have a vid first. Shermen did it And he used Vampire Weekend ha ha. See who you can spot, i remember seeing SluttyShah, Ah Xu, Blink, Jacinta, Hanis, Fiqa, er i can’t remember. Gt run. Post on Tongue in Chic *here* Super Puas Shopping Spent all Sat afternoon in Bangsar checking out what’s new with AshleyTheMonkey and QueenKanch, and shopping like a possessed woman (after abstaining for a month *cough* junkyard sales don’t count *cough*) Took a pic of myself with these really cool round glasses (RM50) in sevendays that made me look like a cartoon. Didn’t get them in the end cos they don’t suit my face, makes me look as if i have a wide space in between my eyes. sevendays has a new store btw *click* Went to Show Pink but Ethan wasn’t there. Got a dress from Wendy (below) who’s just started selling clothes there last week. Bumped into Fei and had a quick chat with him. Hairstylists don’t leave the salon without hairclips. Meaning, they don’t take breaks withouth hairclips either. I left Bangsar after 3 hours with a jacket, 7 dresses and 6 tops. Damn puas man. This is like, reward therapy for me ************* Going to Zedeck’s place in a while, as i haven’t hung out with him for… almost a year >. Got this msg from him on FB: “yo akak: i forgot to tell you: party theme is, by consensus, “taste of innocence”, or (my addition) “when i got my first period”. we goin to munch on rabbit sweets and haw flakes and nano-nano. dress appropriately.” … what is that supposed to mean? wear white? wear white dress with splotches of red paint? wear school uniform? wear very covered up? Damn these starving artist people (he refers to himself as that btw)… i have NO IDEA what kind of theme that is. Fairy Finally Kaput. Sorry you guys whom i said i’d be at Heineken Impulse tonight. I finally couldn’t take it especially after only 2 hours sleep, and being on the go since 7:15 am. Spent an hour plus in the freaking Friday evening jam from Jalan BB to Jaya One for a wip meeting. Had two beers during meeting. And was falling asleep driving another freaking hour and a half back into KL cos i wanted to drop by the office. That was damn dangerous. So i called RR who’s supposed to go to the event with me, “Hey, i’m damn out, i need you to drive tonight.” And i never, ever ask him to drive on any night prior to going out. So i headed to his house to park my car and got Tianna to open the door. You know you’re good friends with someone when you can crash into their house even when they’re not in. He got back a few minutes later and asked me to wait for fifteen minutes. I said okay. I don’t know what happened, next thing i woke up and saw two things - 1. It was past midnight 2. Rudy going, “Oh. Finally.” I don’t remember this but he said what happened was: RR: Do you want to go now?” Me: Yeah… I’d better get up… before… i ZzzZZZzzzzz*” RR: … Joyce?…. Joyce?…………. He said i was dead to the world. :p
