Warming Up In Bangkok

Published on January 31, 2009 in Travel. 6 Comments

I did a warm up session of shopping on Sukhumvit last night
There are so many new clothes stores there that weren’t before!
I think i’ve matured as a cheapo shopper by not buying every damn cheap nice thing i see
And instead choosing what is really nice and walking away from those i think are not worth it
(like a dress i liked for RM26, i know right wtf. But i would think i can find something nicer for RM20. Whereas in KL i wouldn’t think half a second for getting a dress i like for RM50)

Walked around Siam Centre for awhile and physically had heart pains when i saw new heels from Balenciaga on display
“Take me away… i came to Bangkok for cheap shopping! And i’m going to start crying if i look at those shoes anymore!”

Went to Ekanai (something like that, i can’t remember the street now) which had a lot of really nice clubs
I really like it
Was more classy than RCA
Had so much fun meeting some Thai friends
And they’re fucking funny
Have very drunk pictures of us all

Ok gng Jatujak now
No time for blogging when shopping awaits!!!

Apparently DreamerCyn told TigerJoe
“You know Joyce is gonna shop there right.”
“Yeah i know.”
“No, you know it’s a lot right…”
“Yes.”
“No, you don’t know. Take a lot and times it by a hundred.”
“0_o”

That’s what i heard anyway.

I’m going to remember that Cynthia  :xwhatevah:

Longest Yee Sang This Year Thus Far

Published on January 29, 2009 in Women. Closed

Was with my lovelies tonight
Took some pushing (as it always does due to our very different jobs, locations and timing)
But we managed to meet up for yee sang dinner tonight at South Pac in PJ
Just my lovelies and i – SpankyCammy, StephTheVolcano, Aps, and DhanyaTheMonkel

Lou Yee Sang

But i say it was the longest yee sang cos it’s different when you do it with friends than with family
With family, it always has to be more polite and appropriate
With friends, all the *genuine* prosperous thoughts we wish for ourselves come tumbling out

Lou Yee Sang

All 5 of us stood up and started chanting different things at random:

“More luck!”
“Good time at work!”
“More sex!”
“More good sex!”
“More clothes!”
“More SHOES!”
“More holidays!”
“More shrooms!”
“More hot men!”
“More creative men!”
“More NORMAL MEN!”
“Hahaha!!!”

After a while, half of us sat down while some still stood up, chopstick in air, “Wait… i’m sure there are more things we want to say!”

We continued for longer till we were thoroughly satisfied with all we wanted :p

We tossed yee sang so high, some ended up in the chinese tea cups
Lou Yee Sang

Dhanya shocked the bejesus out of us by bringing ang pow to give us
“Babe… that’s really really sweet, but you can’t give us ang pow! You must be married..! Unless you’re giving to your parents…”
“Really?”
“Yeah… it’s bad luck for us AND for you to give us ang pow! You gotta be married la!”
“Oh, but… i’m married to myself! Does that count?”

Line of the day can die.

Woman is so festive she even brought fortune cookies for each of us.
Too cute.

Mine read:

Lou Yee Sang

:xwhatevah:

I turned to her: “I don’t think this is a fortune cookie. This is like a con cookie. Anyone of us could be this!”
“… i can give you another one if you don’t like your fortune…” she turns around to reach into her giant handbag.

It’s near impossible even to pretend-play at being angry with her.

0_-

Anyway we ordered way too much and ate till we had to drink wine after dinner instead of other filling drinks
Had hotplate tofu, assam fish, chilli chicken, sweet and sour pork (for the white girl), and kangkung belacan

Mmmmmmmmmm

I told them about my gross episode on throwing up in my mouth from eating too much
And each of them contributed a story of the same
(Save for SpankyCammy who salah concept and told a story of her throwing up and out instead)

So i’m not the weird one after all!
OR… maybe we’re all kinda weird
That’s why we’re friends ha ha

New Year, New Hairdo

Published on January 25, 2009 in La la la. Closed

Obviously.

I’m procrastinating cleaning my room…
Or more specifically, the hallway outside my room.

i think this could go mighty well with pink. yesssss

[Ok i cheated, i photoshopped my eyebags away cos i'm make-up-less atm]

I’m all well again, just in time for CNY too! *phew*
On the day i got sent for an x-ray to check for pneumonia was the same day i started getting better
Been years since i got one, so nice to know nothing’s wrong with my lungs at any rate

Anyway i went to Milcah @ Qube where she thinned my hair (cos we’re gonna grow it out now)
Hmm
I like how i just used the word ‘we’ for my hair
Cos she obviously owns it as much as i do  :xsilly:

I quite like the new look
But i have no idea what rubbish it’s going to look like when the black roots grow out

0_o

It took MUCH longer than we expected to bleach it
My hair’s stubborn, she said
The poor ManOfTheMoment accompanied me to the salon
Making me feel quite guilty cos i detest people waiting for me
“Sorry… i didn’t know it’ll take so long!” i whispered
“It’s okay. Nobody said the life of a toyboy was easy.”
“… -_-”

After my hair was bleached, washed twice, had treatment done, rinsed, thinned so it’ll grow out gracefully, and rinsed again,
We paid for parking to leave Plaza Damas

I put the ticket into my side door compartment
And drove to the exit area
There, i absent-mindedly pressed the button
And waited while daydreaming
…
…
“What are you doing?” he asked
“… oh shit!”
“Not only are you a blonde, you’re a bimbo!”
“HAHAHAHA”

I had pressed the button as if i were expecting a ticket
Instead of simply inserting my paid ticket to keluar the hell out of there

-_-

Ok ok i have to go clean my room AND outside before my parents freak out

I Can’t Stand My Blog Without Pictures

Published on January 22, 2009 in Dailydress. Closed

I really can’t
No colour? Pah.
That’s not what i’m about!

Because i can’t post up many many pictures now
I’m just gonna do it the easy way and put up a Daily Dress post
Pics taken when i was in Singapore (just before i got sick and have resorted to wearing shorts and hoodies the past few days!)

Singapore

Singapore

scarf; lah’lah’land
black skull tube top; bangkok market
green hobo; aldo
watch; levi’s *free*
bracelet; garage mode @ show pink
purple leggings; topshop
white sandals; charles & keith

I can say this outfit was totally unplanned
cos i threw clothes in packed in 10 minutes
while SarChan and DidiBuli waited downstairs
20 minutes before we were supposed to be at the bus agency

Singapore

I’m going to change the way i edit my pictures
Somehow
I don’t know what yet.
Cos i’ve been stumbling upon other female blogs all cutting out the edges of their pictures too
And i don’t even surf that much
I know i know
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery
But it bores ME to see all the pictures looking like that now

:xwhatevah:

+ + +

The ManOfTheMo showed me this vid when i was taking shelter at his place, thinking i’d like it
I so did
Simple yet brill ads like this make me half wish i went into advertising like i’d initially planned


+ + +

I laughed reading the line YogaNinie quoted most memorable from me at the Youth 09 Convention at PWTC a couple of weeks back

I’m lame i know
I didn’t blog that i gave a speech on Media Entrepreneurship that day
But i enjoyed myself tremendously and was very taken aback when youth came up to me to shake my hand and say i’m very inspiring  :xblush:

Youth ‘09 presented all the speakers a larger-than-life picture of ourselves each
My first line was, “Oh. Urm. I guess i can make a personal shrine of myself now!”

Fairy Sick

Published on January 21, 2009 in Ugh. 17 Comments

Sorry for lack of updates
I’ve been on total MIA since last weekend cos i’ve just been really sick
Instead of being sick for a day or two and getting better, my fevers have got worse and worse with each coming day
I end up shaking uncontrollably from around 10pm onwards and manage to stop if i pop two panadols or paracetamols
I think my shaking is really scaring those who’ve seen it cos it’s so bad i can barely hold something without dropping it

The Manfriend has been really diligent in taking care of me
Getting me to the doctor’s, cooking me what i should eat, buying me what i WANT to eat (to which they’re all tasteless to me atm), making sure i drink lots of water, passing me my meds, putting cartoons on for me to watch, tucking me in, giving lots of hugs.

I finally went home to get out of his hair after four days
And was still sick like shit on Tuesday
So i got HenryIsGold to fetch me to the doctor’s again
Where they made me get a blood test to check if i have dengue

The results came back early night
And i don’t have dengue
Which is good

What is bad is that now she wants me to get a lung x-ray to check for something else

-_-

I spent last night shaking/sweating again
And it’s really tiring
And disgusting
I keep on wanting to take a shower from all these fever spells
Yet i can’t keep on taking showers cos it makes me chilly

And my body hurts like crazy
Everything hurts, i can’t walk properly
I can’t even walk firmly cos my steps seem to jar my head
And causes more headache

Ok i gtg
QueenKanch is here to help fetch me for my x-ray

I just want to know, is it normal for fevers to run for a week or more?
Cos i’m thinking i may just be sick for a long period since i rarely get so sick
And am hoping it’s not something more serious

Whatmore CNY coming wtf
Pantang!
