your sins are not my style

(SOME) PICTURES

2008-07-06T14:37:00.000+08:00

Because Gwen says a post isn't really a post without pictures. Although I hardly carry around my camera anymore, here is pictorial evidence that I'm alive and not a Japanese cyborg out to use my blog to take over your minds.

TAT:

A figure-of eight knot. Idea was inspired by friendship bands that we once got on whim and then all lost within a week. A knot, because these are the ties that bind, that hold me together. A figure-eight knot because it's used as at the end of ropes as a stopper and the people who I dedicate this to keep me from falling out. The ends are frayed to remember the people who i loved and lost and serves as a reminder that all things will pass.

SCH:

Got accepted to SIM Bachelor of Business (Marketing) course by RMIT. School starts August 4th. I worry about making new friends.

A LONG TIME AGO NOW

2008-06-26T00:08:00.003+08:00

A large "hello" to all who still read this very inactive page.
I'm sure my readership stats is hovering around the single digit region.

"Why the absence?" you might query.

"Is your life terribly dull?" you might inquire.

"WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?" you might ask.

So, I shall apologise for my absence. Most of my recent days have been spent catching up on the sleep debt that amounted in the weeks before the Saturday before last. For awhile, Holland was forever crowded with throngs of different groups descending on me. And I went to a keylong in Malaysia as well. And got bitten (over 40 times) by sandflies. And, and, and... and stuff happened, and I was happy. As for now... less throngs, more chilling and, and, and... I'm ready to be internet active again. Oh and I am happy now as well.

So that's about it. If yr interested in photos of recent(ish) events, check facebook. adri.virtualinsanity@gmail.com.
Mind you I'm not very active there either.

XOXOXOXOXO
ADRI (who is currently hooked to The Big Bang Theory. )

GUESS THE DAY

2008-05-06T01:02:00.006+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

as Di would say "how beautifully shameless"

&

because my Melbourne friends are so fucking awesome, I'm going to dedicate this so far self-absorbed post to them.

REHAN: Adrienne right. LOL. Thanks for the best drawn Alice in Wonderland cover EVAR. I suspect you copied it from the original cos you can't possibly be that talented. And btw, save me some brownies ;)

SOPHIA: You're right. Your presents own the rest. Nothing even comes close. Not even the LIAMOND. XOXOXOXO (I hope the moths all die. Outside your apartment of course.)

KENNETH: Okaaaaaaay, maybe you diiiid contribute. :/ heh, but no, I seriously love you. Thanks for all your love and support and scolding and judgey-ness. I feel you ma homie. And making fun of Thomas isn't as fun when you're not around. ;)

SAMANTHA LRM: Hello love of mine. I can't describe how my heart is filled to the brimeth with loveth... or something. Your presents have officially surpassed all my expectations. I think you're my sunshine la.

i am.

I'll tell you exactly how fucking awesome they are soon. With photos.
Promise!

HEART IN A CAGE

2008-05-05T00:20:00.007+08:00

FREAKS OF HOLLAND

FREAK ONE-

CODENAME: BFF

Not so much a freak, as an irritant. She's everyone else's BFF cos she sure isn't *chope* yours. She goes around asking people if they're straight. And if you happen to be unsure, then its ggnore. I've met guys who like anyone with a cheeb, but she takes this to a whole new level. When we see her, we disappear into our individual shops and suddenly stock holds intense fascination. Plus she wears purple tanks with white shorts and silver sparkly spangly belts. WHUUUT?

FREAK TWO-

CODENAME: BIG GH3Y MAN

His opinions and coughing smokers laugh can often be heard booming from the vicinity of the hawker centre. Not only does he make crazy inappropriate remarks about angmoh fathers, sons in hand and all ("FILF! FILF! God, look at that ass. He's going to make my eyes roll back sooner or later"), he also texts people he's just met frankly nauseating statements and questions like "When was the last time you cum" and "Have you got a good hot source of protein for me". Now, I don't know about you but that is a freak to me.

FREAK THREE-

CODENAME: CANDY

Candy is a true blue freak, through and through. S/he makes all freaks before this, seem like non-entities. Or non-freaks, whichever is better. When s/he started prowling Holland, we were quite curious frankly of which gender s/he identified with. My ingenious plan backfired when we asked him whether he served NS and he replied in the positive -insert cheer for all holland folk- and he then proceeded to bore us for half an hour about "the best 2 years" of his life as a clerk.

On one rare occasion when I was completely by myself manning the shop and was crazy tired from the night before he interrupted my reverie by doing me "a favour" by sitting down and killing me slowly with his ramblings (I swear you've never met a rambler till you've met him). In that one hour, he told me about his washing machine, haagen daz ice cream cakes, a comic book character called Birdman, how everyone hates him, how his bosses always fire him, how his mother cut off his internet, how his family disrespects him, how his 19 year old sister is hopeless because she comes home after 12am and how it's "no point" talking to her. At the topic of his sister, I got increasingly agitated because I got tired of his self-pity. I told him off rather nastily by saying that if he refused to try to get educated (he's 25 with N levels) and that if he kept saying it was "no point" to go find some work cos he would only get fired and it was "no point" standing up to his younger sister then he was better off not living at all.

As testament to his freakishness, I was actually glad when BFF interrupted our tet-a-tet.

Here are the very few photos I took of the very few outings I bothered to take my camera out for. Pleasepleaseplease don't msn/meet/text me and complain abt the number of photos. Next week I promise a big picture intensive post of all my birthday celebrations. :))

Come down to Holland hawker on tuesday for charades and beer, on me.

That's as big a party I'm willing to throw.

28TH, RANDOM OFF DAY:

Mewbs came to get me

we had lunch and bought inline skates

and met ah neh at Vivo.

Later we met Rah

and Wendy for dinner at Marina.
-the end-

29TH, RANDOM NOT OFF DAY:

Bus stop on the way to work

Charades and Ban Luck with Ron, Bael, Phil, Akash.

2ND, CASH FAMILY KARAOKE:

Ho Pang di!

Ronald, Akash, Bernard

Look at Baelson's face (Ext. Left) and you'll see how much fun $10 can get you. And that's including the beer.

I would upload the video of them singing (very happily) Roses Are Red, but its taking forever to upload to youtube. Boo.

edit at 1131:

Breakup blows like a bitch (a bit). This sinking ship I clutch at.
" Oh you gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh. "

CHARADES

2008-04-23T16:30:00.000+08:00

Charades is my new favoritest game in the world.

The two hardest ones that we've got so far are "Basic Instinct" and "Cruel Intentions"

Although they stumped me on friday with "Alvin and the Chipmunks". My team guessed rabbit, gerbil, guinea pig, hamster, squirrel... oh so close.

But you can give the opposing team really long difficult names if you want to be hated forever. Like "The curious incident of the dog in the night time"

Or you can just laugh at how stupid the person guessing sounds like, and the person acting looks like.

The best guesses so far are:

For the word "small", "MIDGET! ermERM... SPERM!"

For the word "fork", "knife, knife, knife, KNIFE! knife? "

For the word "star wars", "Star! wall? cement? star... plank? wall? WHAT??"

For the word "clothes", "Bra! Lingerie! SEX! HARDCORE SEX?!"

16TH, ALOY AND RAH:

Drinks at Tango's

Poolside talks and supper with Rah&Co

I know you don't know Ashley, but it's okay. We're all waiting patiently for your return. Even the friends you have yet to make.

MUCH LOVE. LET'S PURSUE OUR SUNSHINE.

SEV ER (E)

2008-04-18T16:10:00.000+08:00

Samantha and I just were discussing fashion and how girls are so dumb about who-copied-who. Bose and I held a prolonged debate, poolside, about cockroaches and their mating habits. Farhan and I are forever battling about end of the world scenarios. Ivan and I have scathing fights periodically, and little skirmishes in between to keep the toes going. And as Aloy and I have figured out over a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, that there really is no point to any of these conversations.

And the reason for that is because we have no idea what the point is to our existence. I mean, we sorta gotta clue sometimes. "To do good!" we wave around feebly. "Love and peace for mankind!" we exclaim. "Heal the world, make it a better place" reckons MJ. Enlightenment, Inner peace, Zen, Nirvana, Heaven, etc just seem to me, really vague concepts to find a purpose in a life where we have none.

And of these old-fashioned notions, do they apply more or less in this day and age. And what do they mean anymore, when our idols are all but false and the praise we offer to Gods tainted with the knowledge of sin outside those 4 walls.

But take hope in this. Cos that means that you can have non-intellectual conversations (like what slogans t-shirts should have instead of the junk that's out there) and have as much point as an exchange on the policies of South Korea as opposed to China.

Of course this discourse has no point to it as well.

HOLLA BACK

2008-04-08T16:02:00.000+08:00

BITCHEZZZ!

or not.
you know.
either way.
or neither way.
whatev.

So I've been sick like the proverbial dog. Fever, throat, nose, the works. As I type, I wheeze and whistle through my one good nostril (whichever it happens to be at that point) and my no-good lungs.

Anyhoo, today we had a near-fight happen outside Cococlub. It involved an Lao beng + Haggard looking Wife + Pure Milk wearing Daughter, a prudish middle aged woman + her fat brat primary3 son + Grandma. All of them vociferous, all of them belligerent.

Lao Beng (LB) was smoking after an enjoyed lunch. Pruddish Middle Aged Woman (PMAW) addressed her son loudly denouncing smokers while making snide remarks as to the moral intergrity of the people sitting next to her. (You know the type; "SOME PEOPLE AH, SO INCONSIDERATE. No Smoking signs everywhere they still smoke")

Pure Milk wearing Daughter decides to act in the very same passive aggressive way, in the form of a not so witty retort directed at her mother. ("Hawker centre what. Not inside food court or anything. SOME PEOPLE so KIASI")

This then escalates into more passive aggressiveness albeit LOUDER in volume - at this juncture I put down my book, The Emporor's Children (very good)- unable to ignore this drama unfolding out at such LOUD volume.

Can I stress that it was LOUD. Because I was sitting, oh maybe, 3metres away.

It proceeds to get louder after this. Because LB gets up to challenge PMAW who quips some stupid lines like
"IF MY SON WASN'T ASTHMATIC I WOULDN'T CARE. But he IS! YOU CAN SET OFF AN ATTACK"

As well as;

"BE RESPONSIBLE! MY SON IS HERE! BE RESPONSIBLE! BE RESPONSIBLE!"

And the ultimate;

"I was addressing my son what! Why cannot? That means you ADMIT to being wrong la!"

OH PLEASE does anyone use that defense anymore? Just sayitbitchSAYIT already "I was talking shit about you LOUDLY so you can HEAR MY DISPLEASURE but I'm pretending it's directed at my SON".

Oh, and my favorite bit.

Haggard Wife/ PMWD (not sure which) : "NABEI"

PMAW : "NABEI? WHAT NABEI!!?!!!" The hysterical edge to that last "nabei" took the bloody cake.

24TH:

26TH, TABOO:

Here's a picture of Thomas for the Melbourne people!

Melvin's place for Taboo. Sarah got partnered with Thomas for a few games and she had very creative attempts at getting him to guess the word. Not all of them worked.

For example the word "Blizzard":
S: What crawls along the walls?

T: Lizards!

S: Okay, good. This word sounds like that. Except its to describe when SNOW falls VERY HEAVILY.

T: ERM. ERM.... SNOW LIZARD!

2008-03-25T18:24:00.000+08:00

I uploaded all the photos for this blog post on Sunday and then started talking to Di on the phone. I mentioned Gossip Girl and how everyone seems to l-u-r-v-e it. We decided, that on our behalf, I would watch it and see what the big fuss is all about.

I watched episode 1 and was like "WHUUUT?"

I watched episode 2 and was like "Hmmmmm... aiiiiite"

I watched episode 3 and was like "Fuckdammit. I'm hooked."

I am such a sellout.
The acting isn't really that great, the lines aren't that memorable, and the filming style is reminiscent of Soaps.

But the guys are hot, the girls are pretty, and I truly am interested in finding out what happens next.

And I'm only writing this cos I'm waiting for episode 10 to load. :/

18TH, WORKHORSE:

Holland V is turning out well and work doesn't really seem like work because the lil' freakazoids are really kinnda fun. We play cards, we talk, we introduce our own friends, we dance like the mentally retarded on Amphetamines.

"E" for Erma!

E for... ... If there was a sufficiently cursey word I cld call him that starts with "E", I would. But there isn't... I checked

19TH, MOOCH:

A very pointless day out where we wandered around and realised that Singapore doesn't really cater to people who don't want to drink, don't want to eat, don't want to game on late nights. We somehow managed to have fun doing this.

Oh, and the Ultimate Backseat Gamer Girls really really suck at Halo II. I mean it.
We ran past each other multiple times because we couldn't figure out how to turn around and shoot each other. Which was because Xbox has 2 different joysticky thingys for movement which is too hard for UBGG to figure out.

After we finished the running past each other, we then tried to shoot each other through a glass wall, all the while screaming bloody murder, not realising that... well there was a wall there.

The boys got motion sickness after watching us. Really. HOR MEWBS.

WORW

The next morning, Aloysius texts me in amazement to ask me whether this person (Adryana, age 20) who's the splitting image of me really is me and to inform me that the other girl in the column is actually Casandra. And all along, I thought this Column was something like they interview you on the street and someone I knew there just fabricated it and put it in forgetting to tell me.

But he then tells me that it's one of those Aunt Agony type pages where people write letters in. So it's either someone hates me and Casan and decides to use our identities and photographs, or it's some lost lonely girl who was desperate for her questions to be answered and then stumbled across our friendster and used our identities, or someone there is making up these letters to the magazine.
The first is unsmart since its so much easier to smear our reputation by writing into a health/sex column, or saying something that portrays us in an unflattering light. The second is highly unlikely because... like seriously? And third... well most probable.

I'm waiting fr Aloy to come show me the page on Friday. After that I'll call SPH after and ask "WASSUP HOMIES". I doubt that they will admit to making up cock&bull but we'll see how things pan out.

Oh and if anyone has last month's issue of Seventeen (yeah, I know right) please go see whether the photo of me really is hideous or not. :/

MORE ON THIS SOON.

BLOG POST OF THE WEEK FOR LAST WEEK

2008-03-18T03:59:00.000+08:00

WORW!

Last week was a major rollercoaster.

On Tuesday I took a cab to work and walked straight to the shop front. I had a bit o difficulty slotting the key in and was getting impatient when it finally went in. But then when I tried to turn it, of course it wouldn't. So there I was with my heavy bag, not made up or anything, looking like hell with my hair in a ratty ugly ponytail twisting this key and muttering obscenities. I wasted a good few minutes on this pointless exercise and it's getting later and later. And at work we have a late penalty: 50c/min. :/

I check t see who was on shift and closed last night; Shira . So I call Shira who doesn't pick up my call then I call Dawn(the boss) who doesn't pick up either. I decide to text Dawn "I've been trying t open the shutters for 5 min and it WONT OPEN and tht im gna try fr another 5 and if it doesn't open I'm going to call the shutter ppl" (There is a number on the shutter.)

By this time I have attracted some attention from the breakfast eaters at the tables outside. The cleaner guy tries t be helpful but ends up pissing me off.

CG: "Na ge key tai da le (that key is too big) hai si ni bu yong li (or you're not using enough strength)"

A: "Wo yong zhe ge key hen dou chi le (I've used this key many times before). Wo zhi dao wo zai zhou she me la (I know what I'm doing la)"

At the end of my shit-o-meter and pissed off as hell, I decide t call the shutter ppl. I stand back arms akimbo, ready to bark at the whoever answers the phone. I look up and realise... I'm standing in front of Cococlub instead o Star Spangled Chimpanzees...

-___-"

I end up being 11 minutes late. $5.50 for a lesson well learnt. And a good chuckle for everyone I've told.

On Wednesday Sarah came to Holland to hang and then we headed to meet Thomas & Co.

We got off the bus and crossed the road. As we were walking to Bukit Timah Plaza, under the flyover, I started talking about how Izzy used to tell me that spirits lived in the recesses up under where we were walking. She went on about how they live in trees. Suddenly (here our stories don't tally) she either grips my arm or she mock screams or sth and I go into a panic and scream and she screams and we both scream like... loudly? And for a really long time?

But no, that's not the best part.

We come to the back of Bukit Timah Plaza and see that it's closed, we decide to go around to the front. We come across what we think are very high steps, which of course we find out later, are not actually steps. We decide climbing up the "steps" was too hard, and decide to climb this steep bit of concrete running next to the "steps". We climb and climb and by the time we decide that this was a bad idea, we were too scared to go back down the slippery slope (literally).

So we come to this wall.

Which we have to straddle to get over and drop down on the other side. Problem is, its quite a drop so we have to hold on for dear life for a few seconds before we drop down. No, actually that's part one of the problem. Part 2 of the problem is that there's quite a drop on both sides of the wall.

So I go over confident that it'll all be alright, and now it's Sarah's turn. She's chickenshitbatshit scared and it takes a bit of coaxing to get her to come over. She straddles the wall and I take her bag, telling her that she's too far to the right (and therefore will fall to her demise). She doesn't hear me and goes over the wall. I realise that her right foot is dangling above a gaping chasm and she of course is going on obliviously "Eh where do I drop". My heart flutters and I reach out, grabbing her dress (and her thong for good measure) dragging her over to the left. She then berates me "Thanks ah. You pulled my thong". To which I retaliate with a "I SAVED YOUR LIFE BITCH".

We get down and realise that we are standing on top of a...

entrance. Uh huh, this my shit.

We carry on to the entrance and realise... we're supposed to meet them at Beauty World.

Here's pictures from the week before last!
6TH, HERE WE GO AGAIN:

D : Adri, I realise that I'm talking alot like you nowadays.

A: NO Di, I'm talking so much like YOU!

D: Yeah Adri! I've picked up like all your inflections and...

A: No, all YOUR inflections I've picked up. The high note at the end, the singsong way I speak now!

D: I picked all that up from YOU. DAMMIT ADRI... OMG SEE, that's from YOU! DAMMIT!

A: DAMMIT DI!

In this past week, I've been told that I have a weird likenotnormaladri weird, inflection to my voice by 2 separate people who don't know each other but have known me for a long time. I've also been asked if I was Malay by the Epic Games guy 2 stores down, told I sound Thai by the tattoo artists who eat lunch in front of my shop everyday, and been laughed at twice by Kenneth for sounding Indian.

Sent my bestfriend off on Thursday.

The night before, we were sending plaintive messages across cyber space, drawing "i ♥ euu" and bird-like-planes, sending them off into the ether.

We all cried, but not as much as we expected, at the departure gates. If we had been given more time, we would most definitely have protracted it. T3 has seen far to many abbreviated farewells for the sakeofsanityandsmudgedmakeup for me to think of it all that fondly.

Today, Sarah told me to "STOP IT" because I would repeatedly draw attention to Samantha's absence. "I came in here with Sam", "Sam wanted to buy this", "Sam and I played arcade upstairs".

I talk about Kenneth to ThomasBestfriend before anything else on the agenda is discussed everytime we meet.

It isn't conscious but indeed I am moping.

But, all's good. The aussie lot are bonding, and the singaporean bunch are clicking quite well.
Okay, that's my emo quota satisfied for today. Here comes backdated photos that have almost nothing to do with the text above.

16TH: BARGAIN HUNGRY
Over the weekend, we headed to 3 flea markets, ending with zouk's. We all is be thinking that they hype has grown too large for its pants. The clothes are beyond substandard now.

FABBRICA:

On a whim we decided to climb Dempsey hill despite my aunt's feeble protests. We were glad we did cos we stumbled across a great restaurant; Fabbrica.

We already had dinner reservations at Red Dot Brewery, but once we saw the menu we were sold.

The atmosphere could be worked on, and the tables are rather close to each other but the food was more than worth the $30/head on average. In fact, I'll say that it was quite possibly one of the best meals I've had evarrrr.

My starter which took me by surprise by the complexity of flavors and textures without it becoming rich or over indulgent.
Artichoke Mousse with Shitake topped with a cheese wafer of sorts.

My aunt's starter Wild Mushroom Cappucino, which really is a frothy soup.

My excellent main course, Ravioli stuffed with chicken. Supposed to be in Veal Jus, but I asked for it to be changed to a cream sauce.

Vanilla Semifreddo

Poached Pear

17TH: FAREWELL SOHO

Sophia asked us all over fr her farewell and premature birthday celebration.

Mewbs is the greatest zhengkay ever.

I love him as a friend, but as a banker, he becomes my best friend. (Sorry Thomas)

When Melvin zhengkay's we all profit. When Melvin zhengkay's we all scream in ecstacy. When Melvin zhengkay's we slam down our cards and high five each other. When Melvin zhengkay's we all feel a bit sorry for winning so much of his money.

But all's fair in love and war. And gambling is the love for money in a war against the odds, no?

9TH/ 3RD DAY:

CNY is a time for reuniting with the loved and the loved of the loved...
And it is also the time fr eating, gambling and cursing. Which we did in copious amounts, sometimes all at the same time.

SOUNDS FROM LASTNIGHTSPARTY

2008-02-14T06:50:00.000+08:00

"Do you know about the Law of Attraction?" Samantha asks the table in general.

"Yes. You've already informed us multiple times" I'm the only one who bothers to answer her.

"You've got to think positive and good things will happen. " She ignores my reply, "HUAT AH!" she cries as the cards are dealt.

I decide to follow her lead, as her pile of Poker chips is growing steadily, and mine are just as steadily decreasing.
"HUAT AH! BIG MONEY BIG MONEY" I attempt to cry out and focus on visualising Pair Aces at the same time, for dual effectiveness.

I turn over my cards and see a 2 and a 4.
The flop reveals 10, J, 7.
I sneak a look at her cards. J pair, 10 pair.

I decide the Law of Attraction is just not that attracted to me.

2ND, FARE THEE WELL:

Kenneth held his farewell party on his farm

BYE + Muffin Breasts from Sam and I

We were given water guns as door gifts. They came in very useful later on.

*
Emerging through the Orchids

1/2 a game of pass-the-parcel and 10 packets of chilli sauce later...

the hosts exchanged all their clothes within a minute

and then got all dolled up in preparation for the usage of our mini water guns.

Problem is their guns, from toys r' us, are much more effective as compared to our Made In China ones. :(

As you can see, revenge was taken from the earlier shootings.

then we got back to important stuff.... gamblinggggg!

another night of poker and ban luck down. (:

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

2008-02-05T04:53:00.000+08:00

I re-stumbled across my secondary school classmate's blog a few days ago. I remember always feeling uninspired, uninteresting, and unhappy in comparison with her. Maybe that's why I stopped reading all those years ago, I don't know.
When I read her blog again I felt the same way, except amplified by all the years that she's 'done something' and I... well haven't really done anything.

She's backpacked in exotic countries, been learning exciting new languages, creating beautiful images, writing exquisite prose. Things I'm physically able to do, but at the same time unable to do for the same earthly limitations.

There comes a time in your life when a 'absence of something' becomes more of a entity than the 'something' ever was. It moves now, slug style, lard like in consistency, under my skin.

Time to clean the cobwebs out of the closet, me is be thinking.

25TH, POODLES:

Us and Kesh&Charlie at something/someone's 2nd Anniversary at Blu Jazz.

Everybody holds his hands. Charlie steals my boyfriend.

So I steal his girl.

The not-so-newly opened Le Chinois which has taken over the Crazy Horse space at CQ.

Me acting pretty.

Le Chinois's club interior surprised me with its ode to seduction and old school glamour

The leather seats, dim lighting, almost arena like steps facing the dance floor and the long bar that runs along the club's length, walks a different beat from the rest of their immediate geography.

Upstairs includes a dining room

as well as a Lounge (which was considerably fuller than the Club downstairs)

Scarlet-esque no?

And that was all very nice, but the the main reason we went was to see old friends. (:

27TH, ALL SHADES OF ANG:

Might be alone on this, but I think its genuinely pretty nice.

INNER CIRCLES

2008-01-30T11:58:00.000+08:00

We were at Borders last Wednesday and I had wandered off to the magazine section leaving Sam to fend for herself in the wild jungles of Fiction. She called me in a panic and told me that while navigating this tricky landscape she came upon the strangest beast:

"Hi, could you help me solve a problem?" This middle aged Chinese man swooped in on her.
She answered with trepidation, "Erm, yeah okay"

The man holds up two books, one titled 'It's Not My Fault', the other titled 'Everything Eats Shit'.

"It's my friend's birthday and he's a bit of a whiner. Which one do you think he'll like?" He looks at her expectantly.

"Well..." She returns his gaze with bewilderment "shouldn't you know more about what your friend likes than I do? I think 'It's Not My Fault' is more appropriate, but I'd personally get 'Everything Eats Shit' cos it sounds more interesting"

"Oh thanks. By the way, my friend and I have been debating this issue for a really long time and it's becoming quite serious. " He pauses for dramatic effect. "Dental floss... before or after brushing?"

"Errrr... before?" This situation is getting curiouser and curiouser.

"Hmmm... you look like an after girl. "He says accusingly "Show me your teeth!"

...

22ND, HAJI:

Yes Sam, show him your teeth.

After shopping dessert.

23RD, MAMBO MEMBER:

Fun with Di at FEP is free.

We then headed to Zouk members to wait for Sophia, even though we initially didn't want to go in.

*
She eventually came, and we eventually loosened up and had fun (:

Shots!

*

Zhang + Sam

Zhang+ Sam + Me

Sarah + Sophia + Sam

And this is when we met Adeline, who was sitting next to us. No, she didn't give us the bottles, she just brought them along to take the photo.

*
Adeline was bubbly and a bucket of fun, so we were luckyluckylucky to sit next to her table. (:

1st round of martinis that she bought us.

2nd round of martinis. (Willy at the right end of photo)

*
third and fourth round! (Willy and Lionel, Adeline's husband and owner of Zouk, at the right end of photo)

*
The table was actually reserved, so we jst sat until Adeline's friend came to shoo us away.

To Phuture we go!

*
To party like a rockstar with...

*
this funky man! LOLX

And although we started out not wanting to club, thanks to Adeline and her generosity with drinks and membership handouts as well as the girls who alwaysalways make anything fun, it ended up one of the best nights ever. (:

(*Soho's pictures)

24TH, SHOOT!:

Helped out with the girl model half of Vern's Advanced Advertising FYP.

Will post the photos when I get 'em.

The guy model half.

My job search has not yielded any good opportunities, so I've given up for awhile. Instead dividing my time into spending it with those who are near and won't be soon, as well as looking into Universities so I can stop my bumming around with no reason and start bumming around with one.

XOXO

YOU OKAY, WE OKAY

2008-01-29T15:29:00.000+08:00

UK 21ST-23RD DEC
These photos mark the last 3 days of our foreign foray. This was of course marked with being lost in the cold, but remarkably less when you take into consideration how much we were lost in Paris. We near kissed the sidewalk when we arrived back in UK cos of the sheer joy of seeing so many things in English. Plus the UK was starting t feel a lil bit like second home to us.

We arrived back at St Pancras at about 10pm and proceeded to head back to concuss in our beds. We decided to rest the next day, and spent most of the day at the nearby Tesco's abandoning the now-very-ill Janesh (ALL THAT WALKING ABOUT GETTING LOST IN THE COLD LAH). On the 21st, we headed back out to stalk the streets of London.

21ST, LONDON:

We stopped at this place at Leicester Square, right opposite the fairgrounds.

Our purpose was simple...

Our goal just in reach...

FISH AND CHIPS!

We couldn't possibly come this far and not have authentic fish and chips, no? (: and then we headed for another veritable english experience.

Harrods!

Harrods has everything!

The arcade, which has souvenirs, tea, biscuits, basically things t take home t prove you've been to London.

Meat hall

Caviar!

Chocolates!

Coffee!

Bakery. Candy Shop. Pizzeria, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts... wait did you say KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS?

!!!!!!! hehehehe, most of you all enjoyed the reaps of this trip t Harrods. We brought back 2 dozen each, 'cept fr Wendy who brought 3 dozen back! And then on to do one more Englishey thing...

Watch a West End Musical!

Les Miserables was a very pleasing end to a mostly pleasing day.

22ND, LONDON:

We woke up to find this in the driveway:

Belonging to Pachuri down the street.

Emirates Stadium on the way into Kings Cross

Brick Lane & Shoreditch area

And revisiting one of our favoritest places evarr! Think dresses for 6 quid and bags for 3. o.O

23RD, PETERBOROUGH:

The local microbrewery owned by Patchuri's partner

The Hungry Travellers + my cousin Alexandra (Wendy was home sick )

OKAY SO THAT'S IT. THAT CONCLUDES MY EUROPE TRIP. IT WAS AWESOME. NOW I SHALL POST SOME OTHER AWESOME STUFF THAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO. ME SO TIRED!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES

2008-01-21T10:58:00.000+08:00

Hellowassuphai!

How's life fr you? Life on this side of the lawn's been pretty good. So far this January has seen old friends reunited, a new Hawaiian friend made, a sunburn gotten, fruitless cheongsam hunting (as of yet), crabs (JB/AMK) consumed with gusto, a job interview down and one more to go. Some of this, is represented pictorially below.

6TH, NLB HOMOS:

en-el-bee erz

(:

7TH, GOSSIP OVER BREAD BEFORE:

Hats!

DAYS WITH DI:

12TH, STRAITS/ STRAIGHTS! :

We walked the Causeway to reach the Pot of Gold at the end.

The pot of gold being a piled plate of butter prawns ;)

back over the causeway to Jia Wan's 21st birthday bash.

Where we all lost money to Kenneth the Banker.

Even though we used whatever "Auras" we could find.

We moved the gambling over to Mewbs, who has a new card shuffler

Which obviously gave out favorable cards to Mewbs and Min Yi.

Pooped from all the losing (he lost all his blackjack winnings), Kenneth finally died at 6am.

14TH-15TH: SIEMENS 100 YEAR ANNIV

Since I have time I decided to do some ushering at an event, together with...

Sophia &...

Samantha

Just to make a lil' bit of moneyyy (had to recup my losings at poker).

16TH: SPENDTHRIFT

I then blow half my earnings on a nice dinner at a Herbal Roasted Duck place at Vivo.

~~Frog spit~~ MOUNTAIN TOAD SPERM:(

17TH, MUNJENS & MERLIONS:

We hit Chinatown to try t find cheap cheongsams. Cheap= bad fit mostly.

Back to town to meet Drew and Kurt, our new Hawaiian Air Steward friend.

Earlier that day they had conquered the Zoo. In a bid for the most Singaporean thing we could do, we visited the Merlion.

18TH, DEL MAR DAY:

Due to several delays, we ended up arriving at Siloso at noon, instead of the planned 10am.

Sam and I

Sophia and Zhang

Drew and Kurt

We fear the black dots might be what's responsible for us being bitten.

At 4pm we decided we roasted enough, and headed for our all time favorite Sentosa attraction.

The Lugeeeeee!

Sorry for the hiatus, I just couldn't be fagged with writing anything. Plus my photo documentation is starting to slow down. There are obvious gaps in where I met ppl, did things, and didn't take photos. Maybe Ill try harder next week. Or maybe I'll try for a new style of writing (or not writing).

UK post up soon!

kthxbai

PAIR-EEE!, 17-19

2008-01-11T14:49:00.000+08:00

The festive season is over! And really really fast. No? As we get older, and progress more towards the Great Wheel of Transmigrations it seems that every year passing is the same. Whatever it was, I had a good time over the holidays.

I've quit my job so I'm currently jobless and I have no school placement as of yet. That's mostly my status. Bored and broke. And yes, I shall do something about it.

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEWBS. YOU'RE OFFICIALLY OLD. :D

ANYWAY, lets get on with the Paris post.

Everyone has this amazing picture in their head of how Paris is. It sounds wonderful and looks wonderful too. Coffee by the river, ciggs while looking at the views... Arts, Music, Food, Cafes, Culture! What's there not to love huh?

But to be honest, the Parisian leg of the trip mostly had everyone wishing they were back in London. We thought we were well prepared armed with Lonely Planet guide and what not, but really, we were disappointed quite alot of the time. And if we weren't disappointed, we were alternately weary/ stressed/ rushing/ fighting. Maybe cos it started on a bad note (read the previous post for the disagreement on plans), or maybe cos we just were didn't do enough research and because of that, had unrealistic expectations about how it was going to be. Plus we didn't realise that Paris would be so bloody c o l d. oh and absurdly expensive. oh and that we would be walking to transport/ on public transport/ being lost trying to find transport for the MAJORITY of our time.

17TH, DEPARTURE AND DISAPPOINTMENT:

The boys who were most definitely feeling the effects of staying out the whole night on the streets of London.

This was the only one we were actually on time for.

The newly built (and very drafty) St Pancras.

Arriving at Gare du Nord at 9.30 Paris time.

Parisian streets all look the same.

Brown, long and confusing. And covered in gum and dog poo.

Now, this is in the hotel room that we finally managed to get into. This was after 2 problems faced after getting off the train.

1. We spent 15min in the information/ticketing line at Gare du Nord (you wld think they wld separate the two) to buy our 3 day Paris Pass. Then Janesh begs us to take a cab, so we do. Instead of a cab we mistakenly take a shuttle which ends up being terribly smelly and rather expensive (£40--> S$80).

2. When we arrive at the hotel, we are greeted by a surprised looking woman who waves a few sheets of paper around vaguely and asks apologetically whether we got "the email." (Oooh how ominous.) Turns out the hotel we booked 3 months in advance was undergoing renovations, and so they had to relocate us to another hotel situated "very near" the current one, "only 10 min away". They drew us a map. And though Janesh assured us that NS had taught him topography and map reading skills, we got lost for the first time out of many (he says street maps are very much different from the maps he's used to).

We check into the Hotel de Londres Eiffel. I immediately make Ivan lay a paper trail of maps leading to the bathroom so that we don't have to touch the carpet with our bare feet.

Walking to start our first! day! in! Paris!

This place turns out to be the most expensive meal we partook in Paris. £78 = S$164. 2 medium steaks, 2 medium chicken and fries, 1 bottle of Evian, 1 small vinegar-y glass of rose, 1 small glass of average red wine.

We get lost trying to get to the Metro station, and then get lost on the different trains that they have. You need to change trains quite a bit and the trains are more than a little confusing. Especially when you have to change rail operators.

Oh but the beautiful part of the Parisian rail transport system is that they really don't care if you pay your entrance fees. In fact, many Parisians (young AND old) either jump over the turnstiles or wait for someone to come out of the door that opens from inside. The train information people do not give a rat's ass if you do this. They are situated right in front of the turnstiles, and they can't care less. Nesh lost his Paris Pass on the second day, so just jumped all of the barriers after that.

There are no photos from about 1pm to 6pm cos all we did was get lost, travel, be veryvery disappointed with the places that seemed so great in my Lonely Planet guide.

We ultimately end up trying to get to the Eiffel, but of course we get lost, so we try to find a Metro station. We get lost again and start walking down the Seine in search for a Metro station. And walking beside bodies of waters is a exceedingly stupid thing to do in the middle of winter.

By the time we reach the end of this bridge, our ears are ringing and our fingertips hurt so very badly that we decide to jump into the warmth of a cab to bring us back to our hotel. We passed the Eiffel on our way back and it was giving one of it's world famous twinkly light shows.

17TH, SECONDS AND MORE HOPEFULLY BECAUSE:

We wake up and decide that yesterday was just a bad day and decide to venture out into the cold (CNN reported -8 weather that day with highs of 2°) to find food and the hidden delights that are so widely dreamed of that so far seem elusive to us .

We notice that the pharmacies there have reaaaallly bright neon signs, most of them animated. There are so many that we wonder what ails the French people that they need to have so fucking many of them.

Our cheapest meal in Paris. (£40ish) at this delifrance kinnda place. This included boisson (drink) and a dessert.

We arrive at the famed Printemp department store with its beautiful automated window displays.

After Printemp, we decide to walk past Opera and towards the world renowned Musee de Lourve. Needless to say we got lost, but it was possibly the most pleasant lost that we had.

Outside Opera

The very beautiful Opera.

Across the street from the Musee de Lourve

Passageway to the enterance

This is the first thing you are greeted by. This photo does absolutely nothing. The site that greets you on the end of that dark tunnel is just so peculiar and so right. The pyramids fill yet open up that space. (Yes, you're all rolling your eyes at my attempt at descriptive prose). Whatever it is, it's pretty bleeding amazing.

Horses!

Horses!!

Horses!!!

In case you are wondering why we spent so much time in the cold (look at picture above. Yes, the fountain really did freeze over) and didn't go in. The reason is that we went on Tuesday. Which happens to be the only day of the week that the Lourve is closed. Yes... closed.

Butcher

Where we bought our nightly meal of poulet.

And pizza.

Friendly Neighborhood Pizza Man

After dinner, we walked 10 min to the Eiffel.

Waiting in line

A little S'pore represent (:

last look.

We decided that the night was still young so headed to one of Paris's famous jazz clubs. We initially planned to head to a jazz bar which was close to this one. But in following with our luck so far, there was a big hole in the wall where the jazz club was supposed to be. So we went to this one.

Sunset Jazz Club

19TH:

Our train was due to depart at 0930pm Paris time, so we figured we'd spend the whole day at the Lourve.

The Lourve was both beautiful and extensive. One gripe is that all the descriptions on all the exhibits, save a rare few, were in French. I would think that one of the most popular tourist destinations in Paris as well as one of the most renowned museums in the world, would at least provide a FREE english description. Your choices are to either rent a headset for £6 or to join an english tour. :/

2 heads are better than...

none at all?

This is a m a s s i v e painting. And a very beautiful albeit chaotic one.

Even J.C looks a bit stuned by all that's happening.

Of course you're not supposed to take photos of the exhibits. But... everyone else had these huge zoom lenses, I figured my point and shoot could do no harm.

The Quaran written in reallly miniscule text.

King Charles (I think)formal dining room.

the last shot before we headed out into the cold, headed back to the hotel, couldn't get a cab, walked all the way to the Eiffel to get one (cos obviously there's a whole line of them there), was just on time for our train back to UK. We made it with 2 min to spare before the Eurostar took us back to warmer pastures.

HAPPY NEW YOU!

2008-01-03T18:06:00.000+08:00

two!oh!oh!eight!

come this year it will be:

5 years since O' levels
4 years since first love
3 years since eighteen (what a year)
2 years since nineteen (WHAT A YEAR)
1 year since iwokeupmyfuckingidearecruit!

oh gosh! golly! wowee! (is my excessive use of exclamation points getting to you yet?)

The countdown was done at Butter Factory, which was very satisfactory. At least relative to the Christmas one it was.
The group split up for NYE cos I refused to sit around looking at the boys playing DotA at David's place(which they did!).

Speaking of the group, Joel and I made a kinnda group resolution. We resolve to do more INTERESTING things as a group, cos we've agreed that we've fallen into the black hole of being a truely MOTHERFUCKINGBORING GROUP. or maybe we should just gamble more.

The 2007 Entry

2007-12-31T22:03:00.000+08:00

Last year, on this date THIS was the entry I wrote.

I resolved to "be more effective come 2007. more punctual and less conflicted." I'm glad to say that I think I've more or less achieved the goals set.

Effective ☑
2 jobs hired and quit (no not fired) from. 1 unforgettable holiday. 1 large group of friends that I've continually added onto throughout 2007. A number of very worthy new friends made. 1 drinking habit quit. 1 smoking habit somewhat kicked. 2 new cameras bought. 1 boyfriend made and held onto for the longest ever.

Punctual ☑
I don't turn up 2 hours late anymore. More like... 20 min. Hey, that counts okay.

Less conflicted ☑ ☑ ☑
To the point of being quite vanilla. (:

Last year I also gave a list of ppl who changed my life in 2006 and personal msgs to each. In 2007, I don't really see a need to. The people who I love, I surround myself with. I have no need to put into type how much they mean to me. But, ever the queen of redundancy, I shall give a small shoutout:

To Ivan, Joel, Wei Shen, Gwen, Chee Meng, Ervin, Kenny, Paul, Wee Keng, Henry, David, Melvin, Kenneth, Janesh, Wendy, Kelvin, Sue Ann, Samantha, Sarah, Sophia, Vernia, Eva, Chris, Diyana, Capri, Aloysius and the countless others who made me laugh in person or on msn, or introduced new people to me, or even just had a drink or meal with me, I would like to say THANK YOU.
Thanks for making my 2007 go down as possibly the best year that I could live down.

And what's an entry without photos right? Here's the best snapshots of the year (which more or less starts from Feb/April cos my com crashed in Feb, effectively losing me my photos):

YOU-KAY, MEE-KAY, 13-16

2007-12-28T02:41:00.000+08:00

Hello my loves!
First of all; Merry Merry Merrryy Christmas! I hope you all had great presents and even greater a time.

Sadly, I didn't get to spend Christmas in England, but it was good to be back home for Christmas, although the weather could do with some working on. We landed Christmas Eve at 630pm and headed to the Ptlck Prty at Mewbs. But those photos will come some time next week, I think. I'll get the UK & Paris ones out of my system first.

These are the first 3 days of the Eurotrip and it was relatively stress free ones (as compared to some other bits of the trip). 'Cept for the 45min hold up cos our luggage was too plentiful for us to fit into the Land Rover properly. And the bit of discord as to plans the night before setting off for Paris.

Oh, and if you're my friend on facebook, you might as well just look at the albums that I just put up. (Yes, I know... me, facebook?! But yea... I succumbed to peer presure :( )

13TH, FLY, FLY, FLYING AWAY!:

Sleep he did, for most of the 14 hours it took to fly there

Isn't SQ so nicely festive?

Fast asleep

Luggage cuffufle, trying to tie the biggest case to the roof.

14TH, PETERBOROUGH:

In the hall getting layered

Wendy and I

Town centre

Ah neh's new longjohns.

15TH, LONDON:

Training to London

Platform 9 3/4

We actually had t queue for these shots. :S

OXFORD STREET MADNESS

Bunnymen

At an Italian restaurant that we ducked into due to the terrible w i n d in Soho.

Wine to warm us

We somehow landed in Picadilly at nightfall before deciding to call it a day.

16TH, LONDON:

Ex--> Cheap: Dim Mak, H&M, and Primark.

We headed to Camden Town. Which on a Saturday is totally crammed with really quite interesting people. I looked absolutely bland in my electro/animal print outfit. And they sell 'shrooms openly. ;)

Eclipse piercing.

Angry Indian and the Hemp Store.

Train back home.

It was a Sunday night, and we left for Paris the next morning at 5am. The boys, or rather Janesh, was of the opinion that it would be a banging idea to go to Herbal, in London, and not sleep till it was time to get on the train. The girls, or rather me, was against that (obviously dumb) idea. Hahahaha, it was like that for most of the trip btw. The diff in opinion that is, with the respective gf&bf being in the middle-y.

In any case, we headed back to Peterborough to put down our shopping and head out for dinner&drinks.

?

??

Boathouse, champers.

The boys then headed to Herbal, which turned out not so great (ITYS).

While the girls stayed home to catch a few hours of sleep. Good thing we stayed home cos it was the only time possible to do Wendy's needed photoshoot for some magazine feature. With no lights, no backgrounds, and considerable amounts of alcohol in our system, I think these aren't half bad. Some of my favorites:

Okiedokie. So part 1 is finished, and next up will be the Paris post! Happy Holidays!

LONDON + PARIS

2007-12-21T23:59:00.000+08:00

HELLO FROM LONDON

HELLO FROM PARIS

2007-12-15T11:30:00.000+08:00

From the Centre Of the Universe,

WE HAVE ARRIVED!

AND ITS COLD!

It's 3.25am over on your side and its 7.25pm on ours. We're going t watch Does It Offend You, Yeah? at the Met Lounge in Peterborough in half an hour. I have more photos, just no time to upload. Shall do it after London tomorrow.

XOXO

THE POLLY POCKET DESTRUCTION

2007-12-10T08:13:00.000+08:00

For those who don't know, Wendy, Janesh, Ivan and I are going to England from the 13th-24th, and spending the 17th-19th in Paris. We'll be staying in Peterborough ,Cambridgeshire with my aunt, uncle and cousin. It's 45 min to London by train, about the same time from my place to Pasir Ris. Unlike the ride to Pasir Ris, it'll cost us average £20, about S$60, for a train ride in. So we researched like hell and found something called GroupSave which does exactly what it says, but comes with combos that go:

"GroupSave is valid on Cheap Day Returns for return travel on the same day, where available.
GroupSave is also valid on Savers for return within one calendar month, where available."

And then they leave you wondering what is Cheap Day Returns and Savers and how exactly both can be used at the same time. I google it, and I realise there's more to this than it looks. That there are actually more than one type of Cheap Day or Saver tickets.

"Saver/Cheap Day
Cheap Day
Saver
SuperSaver
Network AwayBreak
Day Travelcard (Off Peak)
Day Travelcard (Off Peak PLUS)
Business Saver"

So I decided to give up, and just concentrate of GroupSave because it sounds most promising. Then I come across the restriction bit which is slightly confusing, to me at least:

"The return portion of these tickets is restricted if you join a northbound train within area B and travel to area D. Also restricted, are journeys from area C with a return ticket valid for a journey from area B to area D as shown on the zone map above. Travel is unrestricted if you join a northbound train in area C or D and are not travelling on the return portion of a ticket valid from a station in area B to a station in area D. If your entire journey begins and ends within areas B and C on the map then the restrictions do not apply."

And then of course the rail service, isn't really related to the Metro+ Bus's operating in London, so another card, the oyster card, has to be bought for that. I say isn't really related, cos there ARE travelcards offered by certain rail services that allow discounts or free bus+metro rides. But we don't actually want to get into that, right?

Oh, and I haven't even started on how much we're counting on my little lonely planet "Paris Encounters" book to keep our hineys fed, watered, entertained and out of trouble.

7TH:

Oxfords for Cambridge

A light kiss blown

Another pair of booties

I came across these socks in my sister's drawer.

They look punky till you see...

what lies beneath.

Tigger socks!

8TH:

And of course, what is love without some cross dressing.

I've never seen a more ahbeng x ahlian photo of us. Act fierce & act cute. Oh, this is love. HAHAHA

Okay, back to figuring out the intricacies of the English transport system. If I have strength left over, I'll tackle the Parisian one too. (!!)

HEARTS DA L E S

2007-11-30T13:19:00.000+08:00

I turned on my tv and settled down with a tray with dinner on it balanced on my outstretched legs. I decided on Deal or No Deal, after remembering watching the very entertaining episode on Oprah when she played it and skipped around on stage from nerves. The begining bits started rolling and I noticed that they were somehow speaking in Mandarin.

"HMMM?" I frowned noticing the "DUAL SOUND ))" icon on the top of the screen.

"Maybe its just showcasing tht it can be in DUAL SOUND and the main programme is in a language I can actually understand".

But no. It continued in Mandarin. Badly dubbed over Mandarin (The contestant was malay).

I checked for info on it, but it gave me nothing useful on how to change my sound into something recognizable.

"WHY!" I sighed in the general direction of the telly.

Then I gave up, and here's my blog post...
24TH:
PEE-ESS

Hello Aloy (:

Super market supplements from Samantha the Heineken girl

MEETS AND GREETS:

The family headed out on a Saturday night to meet our newest addition, Joe's lovely Wen Jia.

Fake fires to get us all warmed up.

It was a night of couples. 5 in total:

Janis and Weekeng

Gwen and Weishen

2 of the 3 non-couples who we still love manymany

And the couple of the night (:

What's an occasion without champers right. We thought the same as you do, so headed to Red Dot. We also watched soccer where Man U lost to i-dont-know-who. Apparently, I am Janesh's suay. *shrug*

The third of our non-couples.

Smile beautiful! We leave in 14 dayysssss!

♥

SPARE TYRE NO MORE

2007-11-28T14:42:00.000+08:00

23RD:

It was set to be another friday night. Just another in our succession of rambley nights.

We ate, then headed to Paragon.

We then made plans to head to boat quay, and headed to our respective cars.

This , like most well-laid plans, did not materialize. We decided on a more... scenic route and ended up bursting our tyre. How this happened, we can only guess. That guess would be that we curbed the car and burst the tyre in the process. Or rolled over glass. Or magic.

He was convinced that we did not have a spare, and so declined the help of 2 very chivalrous guys who ran to our help. Turns out we did, but we had already called for help, so we sat down and waited for it.

The Chia's sent me home, and I learnt that bad driving is genetic. I'd say that the last tauhueyjui of the night was in order to settle nerves.

And to my brotha from another motha, my homie frm another mommie, our darling ST; Joel, confuckingratulations and best of luck. I know you're scared, but you know that you've got a treasure trove of well-worn love "experts" around. And there's always me. (:

there there baby it's just textbook stuff. It's in the A B C's of growing up.

WHAT'S THE STORY MORNING GLORY

2007-11-21T20:55:00.000+08:00

17TH:
SAND-TOE-SARZzZ

We decided against our better judgement to head towards the South even though it was raining at River Valley, Tiong Bahru, Dover, and Clementi. Lucky for us, rain never touched the islet of Sentosa on that slightly overcast, dark-cloud-threatening Saturday.

The act of leaving the mainland, of crossing over that bridge of 200meters and that narrow strait always makes me feel like I'm having a half-a-holiday. Not quite the relief of a full blown beach escape, but nearly. And nearly is gdeh.

Siblings at the very least

with the top down and wind in our hair

baby let's go, let's travel far.

"Fun comes together at Sentosa"

Now this is peculiar. Someone's been either searching for my blog by using Weishen's name or someone's been searching for Weishen (or Gwen) and landed on my blog. The even weirder thing is that someone's been looking for dharni and ashley as well. Click to enlarge images.

The IP addresses are all different. And the person who searched for Ws couldn't be the person who searched for gwenshen, cos the first's in SG and the other in Washington.

"Weishen" on google.com.sg

"gwenshen" on google.com

dharni ashley on google.com.sg

Or perhaps, this is a strange occurance that has nothing to do with anyone of these people and I have nothing to do with the equation. Anywho, I thought/think it was/is odd that 3 entries in a row on search engine hits were people and/or couples close to me.

soho> you still look gorgeous la. let's recreate that scene come next friday! omg, of all themes why did sam and you think of a Barbie one.

RIGHT NOW I FEEL LIKE

16TH;
THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN

monogram me

Xiao Sam Sam is home!

Seah Im Food Centre for lunch

Presents from down under, which I smooshed together not-on-purposely.

LATER ON THAT DAY:

Glow in the dark

Ah Neh

A trustworthy chef

Sim Lim's top salesman

Sam & I should ease on the blush.

Me + S's (Sophia+ Sam + Sarah)

4 jugs of screwdriver, 2 of malibu pineapple yum.

Rah's photos kept getting destroyed by the others, so she decided to retaliate...

by sticking her elastic face into theirs

And here are my fellow upperback-female-tattooed

My friends were feeling generous and the girls mostly benefited from this generosity. 15 trays of apple shooters later...

Sophia's stick-on bra was chucked into a speaker and hilarity ensues.

One seeming logical thing led to the next, and Sam was soon squatting in the multi-purposed speaker and taking out her bra.

Welcome home Flamings

They dragged an poor waiter to take a photo with them. This is later repeated with 2 other Zouk staff.

People kept asking "This IS the last tray right?" Darlings, it's never the last tray.

Roomies

Melbournians + an ex.

Somewhere in between these photos, I was physically coerced into joining the jigglies.

The melbs with the benefactor of their 2nd flaming each.

This security guy really didnt want to take a photo.

and he wasn't acting cool, he just didn't want to be there.

toilet tales

"SUE-EE-CIIDAL, SUE-EE-CIIDAL"

From sam's:

Rah is loved.

Emo nemos

Just before we left.

I'm thinking about changing how I blog. I'm still fency-iffy-betweeny. If you looked at cut-the-thread and then popgem and now tripstarr, you can see the evolution. It used to be wordswordswords, then photos+words, and now mostly photos. Maybe I have run out of beautiful things to say. Or just things to say in general.

furry outlines

Kelv> We should. I'm free after work. But I hate work clothes, so lets meet on an off day. (Self appointed or otherwise)
