I know, this is damn long ago. Okay, a couple of weeks. I think.

I’m SO backdated on my event-blogging
>_<

Have yet to post up pictures from AhHoong + Steph + RudyLaFaber’s birthdays, Juicy launch, Cynna annv., Marketplace launch, and others i can’t remember.
KinkyPugKevin asked me to cheat and just put up one picture for each.
I’m thinking that’s a better idea, to blog it faster and put up only a picture, rather then a couple of weeks late and many pictures. That’s if, if i even get to it.

Wine Room Relaunch!

Wine Room on AHR refurbished recently - shifting their stage to a new partition.

Oh yeah, the dresscode for the night was red.
I was getting ready thinking, “Shit… i don’t have a red dress…”
Little Voice in Back of Head: SURE GOT. You have SO MANY CLOTHES you don’t even know WHAT you have anymore!

Yeah, i forgot i had this red dress from the bunch i was selling
We just didn’t shoot in the red one.

Adam Carruthers
AdamPoserPan

We spoke on the phone this morning to catch up since he got back from London and since i was busy talking to someone else last night.

“I must apologize for James’ dressing last night,” he said.
“Why? What was he wearing?”
“This badass colourful shirt with stripes and things.”
“Haha, i didn’t notice.”
“Well, he was going for the peacock theory, you know, where you wear something to stand out in a crowd to pull girls.”
“Ha ha, then.”
“I told him retards stand out as well.”

I laughed so hard i woke up all proper after that.

Azana + Adam

Azana was hungry so she was grabbing at the food like a maniac when it went around.

Melissa Indot + Joyce

MadcapperSa performed that night too, her album’s coming out soon!

Biresh Vrajlal

Biresh is kinda vain about his nose.
I mean, i never really took notice about it before till he brought it up on FB.

Fist pump!

oops

Cannot remember everyone’s names :p

Hans Isaac, Biresh Vrajlal, Joyce Wong

Hans, Biresh + me.
I’m so not maintain.

All the following pictures below are taken by Andy Kho.

Timothy Teh, Joyce Wong

I invited Timothy Teh from Nuffnang to come with me to the event cos we’ve always just liased on the phone, MSN and email but i had never met the guy.

Sheepish Drinker

I swear AndyKho can compile a huge collection of pictures with me holding glasses.
At *every* event he’s shooting, he’ll bloody come and take a picture of me holding a drink.
Sometimes two, to which i’d yell in indignation.

Joyce Wong

Was boogie-ing with one of the dancers from MadcapperSa’s video shoot that day.
Farah told me they oiled their half-naked bodies for the shoot in Welwet, i saw the pics on Jo’s FB already… WAH damn cun okay Silly

Joyce Wong

I don’t remember this -_-

Joyce Wong

I don’t remember this too -_-

Fuck the phone alignment!

And i definitely don’t remember releasing such aggro at my Dopod for going screwy on me. 

I’m Gonna Swim!Swim With The Dolphins!
I’m going to Bali this Sunday Laughing
For four days!
Gonna swim with the dolphins up north, dive, buy dresses, and maybe visit the open graveyard at Kintamani Azuan told me about.

I’ve used up so much of my annual leave that i only have three days left for December… which isn’t enough! Have already asked Vijen aka New Team Leader that i want to apply for no-pay leave in December.

My BELOVED AlcoJason in London is making his annual trip home and is going to KK to dive and climb Mt. Kinabalu and i wanna go too!
I can go along for the dives while he takes his license.
And i told him i don’t mind climbing the mountain again since my camera batteries mati-ed on me when i reached the peak last time -_-
And maybe, maybe, this time the faires won’t hide from me!
There’s The Grocery List

And There’s the Hump List


Besides AdamPoserPan, i was on the phone with one of my girlfriends.
The conversation shifted from recent incidents, to people in our lives now, to the person she’s seeing.

“The sex is okay, it’s getting better.”
“That’s good wut.”
“Yeah… just that it’s sort of… routine y’know?”
“Well, you and i know it doesn’t matter when you have so much feelings for the person, you’re willing to go with that routine.”
“Yeah, it’s just that it was different with —-, my ex boyfriend, last time. We use to do it everywhere!”
“Walau… what do you mean everywhere?!”
“In all the clubs, we did it on the Row when it first opened, The Loft, Bar Savanh, of course, then we broke up so we haven’t done it in any of the new ones.”
“Oi, what is this. A checklist is it!?”

 

It was like having amnesia

And the vague strands of my memory grappling to rediscover it.

I’m in a weird mood today.
First i was all happy clappy when i awoke, then i remembered all the things i have to get done and got slightly stressed.
Then i remembered a poignant conversation last night and went into ponderment.
Changed to go for GoofyGobi’s traditional open house for Deevali.

Came downstairs, delighted to find a cheque i’ve been expecting for three months.
Tore the envelope open to find that the publication issued me 2k instead of the 8k like they owe me/i invoiced.

WHY?!

I’m so pissed off!
I’m so annoyed and angry that i feel my heart spasming or something.

UGH.

Gonna go appease my blar mood with Gobi’s mum’s curry.

 

Ho Hum

I think i haven’t had a post like this for a long time, the kind where i’m blogging just to pass time because i’m waiting for someone, he’s late, to teman me to the Met event just down the street from my office.

I’m all alone in the office.
Could do… bad.. dirty things withouth anyone… knowing… no i’m kidding. Got camera. Lucikly i remembered.

Franchesca told me today, “I haven’t drank for three days.”
I spurted, “Hmm. I haven’t drank for three minutes.”
Fran: -_-

Oh, i had wine during lunch :p
It was only one glass!
And there’s nothing wrong with having a glass of wine on a windy sidewalk at La Bodega.
I feel misjudged that people chastise me and my wine.

My next few days will be sacrificed to cleaning my room (yes it’s still going on) and writing.
Someone (naturally, i forgot who) said it’s an ongoing project.
Then they said, “You know, ongoing project like how they’re building a flyover and it takes ages?”

-_-

 

I is want a Band Aid and a hug.

Both Reubens wanted to continue drinking last night after the Heineken Extra Cold launch, so we headed to Somo in separate cars to have some there.
Upon parking, i happily pranced out of the car…

to trip on the pavement and scrape my knee. Whatevah

Picking myself up fairly quickly, i maintained sendiri while sqeaking “Alamak!” to myself.
Didn’t think anyone saw so i strutted up the sidewalk to see…

ReubenThom standing there. “Erm… are you okay?” he queried, trying to squash the grin off his face.
“>_< Fuck i thought noone saw. I fell down… Sad,” i repeated the obvious while whining like a kid.

DatinTini saw my scrape in the opis today, “Oh my god. You’re 20-something years old and you can still fall down!”

Sad

I can’t help it if stilettos weren’t made for girls who like to skip.

Speaking of skipping, i left 101 East the other day and merrily said bye to one of the staff, G (i don’t know, he said his name is ‘G’ or ‘jee’) and hopped down a step.
“What’s wrong?” he called after me.
I swirled around, “What’s wrong what?”
“What’s wrong with your foot?”
“Nothing…. why? What’s wrong with my foot?”
“Why are you walking like that?”
“Oh!… I… was… skipping >_<…”

I always thought it was DikHaHaHau’s exaggeration when he says i scamper till… other people started saying it.

Maybe it’s because i’m shorter and i have to walk faster, hence skipping is quicker, to keep up okay!
It’s The People surrounding me that make my life interesting.
“P” Is For:

1. Paedophile

A 30-something year old friend was telling me, “Guess what, an 18-year-old asked me to be her boyfriend.”
It was said rather gleefully, i might add.
“What?!” That’s barely legal okay. “You’re such a paedophile! How did you even *meet* this 18-year-old?”
“She’s my sister’s friend.”
“Oh my god.”
“I took her out last week! You met her.”
“I don’t remember.”
“You’re such an embarrasment.”

At least i’m not a paedophile!!! *sticks tongue out*

2. Prayer

The girls and i were playing Taboo.
DarlingDhanya + i were on one team.
SpankyCammy + StephTheVolcano were on the other.
Aps was on both.

It was my turn to guess the word whilst DarlingDhanya described.
“It’s something… that i do when i wake up… and when i go to sleep!”

Me: Pray? 

We couldn’t stop laughing. She was trying to get at ‘brush teeth’ to link to mouthwash.

>_<  Oops. 
 

3. Peter Pan!

(sorry, but Peter Pan deserves bigger fonts, read: more important)

peterpan07.gif

Peter Pan The Musical opens this Friday at Istana Budaya!
You can only imagine how excited i am about it.

No, wait.
You cannot even imagine.
I was squealing about it ALL DAY in the office like a deranged monkey when i found out a couple of weeks back.

Read a write-up about it and the first line was, “Do you believe in fairies?” and i was squealing inwardly, “I DO! I DO!” 

Called someone i knew whom had the supreme power of getting me tickets… Silly

“I need to ask you a favour! Please!” i almost shouted into the phone
“Yes, what is it?”
“Please! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! You know i never ask you for anything right? I’ve never asked you for any free tickets before right?! BUT i’m DESPERATE!”
“Okay okay, what is it first!”
“PETER PAN IS COMING TO TOWN! And WHO WOULD LOVE IT MORE THEN ME!!! LOOK! I HAVE TATTOOS OF FAIRIES!”
“Ha ha i know i know, okay okay!”
“YAYYYYYYY THANK YOU!!!”

Seriously. I’m so happy i cannot tahan.
I even spoke about it in the meeting room today and raised my hand when Mr. New Team Leader wanted to see who wanted this week’s party canceled due to Deepavali.

And it got canceled!

IT’S FATE!

I was so worried i’d have to give up my Peter Pan tickets for work!

THE HORROR!!!

And to the person who helped me get tickets for opening night, actually there are three of you Laughing
You know who you are.
I love you long time.
I won’t forget this.
Fairy love for life yo.

Yeah you can tell i have more writing work to do when i’m blogging… it’s a good way to keep me awake soddof.
Bumped into Jess today whom i owe a 1,200-word article to.
Damn kantoi when you owe an article and they bump into you at events/restaurants/bars okay.

I know you’ll be reading this.
By Thursday! Deepavali! 

Now i’m going to work on Justin’s press release which desperately needs to go out for print for fashion week.
I can’t bear taking money from friends so… he said he’d make me a pair of haute couture shoes in return.

Laughing

One skill for another, yay!

Ok, shower then start.

 

Anonymous Violent Lady

Let’s call her AVL, shall we.

So i saw AVL recently and she dictated to me an incident that happened last weekend while clubbing.
A group of them went out to one of the popular clubs in KL and amongst them was this guy she knows from high school.

Being tipsy, he aimed his camera at the girls’ knees and took shots.
Shots of their knickers before they could stop him.
“Oh my god! How fucking rude! What an ass!” i exclaimed angrily.
I seriously wonder where people learn their manners, if any, sometimes!
“I know right!”
“What did you guys do?!”

So you know what AVL did?

She punched him.
Outside the club.
In full view of the crowd, bouncers and patrons of surrounding clubs.
Of course, the other guys in the group gave a few swings too.

And AVL being the high-so woman she is, had a couple of uncles in atas positions who witnessed the incident, questioned why and asked her for the guy’s full name so he could be picked up by the police and thrown into jail.

She refused cos she thought it was enough and didn’t want it blown out of proportion.

AVL showed me her knuckles, which were recovering from a bruise from punching him.

“Shit, you really gave a good one right? Hahaha!!! Plus you must have been wearing all your rings!”

GarfieldChak was with us as well, “Wow. I think the guy is more malu that a girl punches him in public. So did it feel good?”
“It felt damn good,” AVL said expressionlessly.

Hahaha! It cracks me up when guys today think they can do shit like this and get away with it.
So behave yourselves.
You never know when the girl you’re messing with is an AVL herself.

 

Why Should I Feel Disappointed?

I did a tad. Just a tad.
Then i told myself - Old habits die hard.
And i’m glad all that’s happened, occurred.
It reminded me of why and not regret and wish i did it all earlier.
Stormy Sky

Aiyo. I meant *they* were on a roll.
It was 6am when i edited that and if this was last time, i would reedit it.
But hell. I’m too lazy, tired, too much other work to do, it’s late right now, and it’s a blog. Sorry.

I was terribly annoyed that i couldn’t capture what i saw with my eyes (my SLR has yet to be serviced)
The clouds were way more magnificent then above… can you imagine?!
They were breathtaking.
They are the reason i stand stone still at the window at times, floating on a natural high called breeze.

Went for the Harper’s Bazaar Fashion In Focus event in Aseana, KLCC last Friday.
Harper’s Bazaar

Exhibited along the central path of the event were superb images the Harper’s BAZAAR team have created.

Harper’s Bazaar

I didn’t take many pictures there… >_<

Benjamin + Joyce

Ben + i

Went for the party at Bar Blonde after that which was… i think less eventful then the previous ones.
I’m sticking to a different tactic from now on (whoops i can’t write here what it is :p)

Then off to regulatory TAG for DramaticKim’s birthday

Kimberly De Silva

I felt quite drunk after having heaps of champagne, wine, vodka, whiskey and beer; so i headed downstairs to sober up sendiri at 2am.

DoorBitchIvan teman-ed me for awhile though i have no recollection whatsoever on what i said to him.

Below is a poster outside Zouk…

Below is a typo…

Zouk poster

Sorry, i’m just really fucking anal about spelling, especially on publication and advertising materials.
I still adore TAG, no less :D

I find myself different from last time, the time when i couldn’t control my alcoholism.
When i hear friends complain about their friends getting aimlessly drunk and getting way too drunk for their safety, i feel a connection there.
What i’m saying is, when i had my problem with alcohol, i couldn’t explain it.
I couldn’t explain why i’d drink so much and not stop.
I couldn’t explain why i’d think i was invincible with alcohol.
I couldn’t explain why i’d want to drink excessively every time i could get my hands on it.

That would best be described as a chronic drinker.

Through time and (i think) increase in work (or dare i say it, maturity), i decreased drastically in my alcohol intake.

I stop drinking when i feel i’m reaching my limit.
And you ask, how can i not know my limit when i drank so much last time?

I cannot explain it.

I would just drink and drink somemore. Even when i was already drunk, i would think that i would still be able to withstand it and continue unconsciously.

Though painful losses and dangerous lessons contributed to me decreasing, it never actually stopped the entire habit wholly.

I don’t know. I suddenly thought about writing about it when a few people approached me tonight asking why i wasn’t taking advantage of the freeflow.

I’m not the absolute freeloader i used to be. OF COURSE i still fancy drinking and who can say no to free alcohol? What i’m saying is i’m not keterlaluan hadap for it anymore.

Somehow (thank the gods though i don’t know how), i manage to be more conscious of myself when i drink now. I stop when i think i’ve had enough.

I think what i’m doing here is just trying to explain other people’s chronic drinking habits. I’m not saying it’s something acceptable. I’m just saying that… at that point of time, i really couldn’t control what i was doing despite going overboard more then twice a week. And the entirety of being able to be in control was by luck.

So yeah.
I still drink every day -_- Sunday is my non-alcoholic day.
I still want to go to Pathlab and get my liver tested to know for myself how much damage i’ve inflicted unto it.

But at least i’m in a different phase in my life where i’m not the terbabased drunkard i used to be.

Not to the extent where… it was so bad i don’t even want to begin with the stories.
