Another 5 Minutes of ‘Just Looking’ = Even More Fail.

New Year’s Day was spent in KL.

I merrily popped confetti in the bedroom. In truth, i would have loved to have fallen asleep nestled among shiny blue, red and green spirals of metallic paper before awakening in it as well, but they were hastily cleaned up.

Bummed

I took my time getting ready to go out. Seeing it was New Year’s Day, i wanted it to be a chill out day. Looking good and feeling even better. I carefully ironed a white dress, slipped on white sandals and had my white-rimmed sunglasses perched atop my head.

Happy, sunny outfit! Too bad it looked like it was going to storm -_-

… But still! Happy sunny outfit! Laughing

Thinking back, i can’t help feeling slightly guilty that i don’t give much of a rat’s ass when it comes to wearing new clothes for Chinese New Year but i semangat dress up for New Year’s Day. >.<

Had burgers, Guinness and scotch ginger ale at Chilli’s before oh-rowdy-one and me trolled through KLCC.

Dahlah before that i bought a(nother) Flower Fairy sticker book and Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Thinks You Can Think in Kinokuniya. I read it ages ago when i was a kid, and seeing the book again conjured up memories of encouragement for flighty imagination and all things whack.

They’ve moved the children’s fairy book section to the shelf behind Dr. Seuss and as i knelt on the floor forcing myself to put back some of the books so as not to purchase them, a little girl of about five stood right next to me. She stared curiously, looking me up and down. I, unable to have the ability to stare unabashedly as does that of a child, looked away and noticed her cartoon fish sneakers from the corner of my eye.

A few minutes later, i overheard FishSneakerKid telling her mother, “No, not this one. I want the fairy one.”

I beamed inwardly.

Looking to my right, i saw her mother sifting through the other books, “Where is it…”

After they couldn’t find what she was looking for, i spoke up to FishSneakerKid, “If you really want fairy books, there’s a whole shelf just behind this one…” I gestured to the front of me, while bobbing my head with big helpful eyes.

FishSneakerKid ignored me and her mum said, “I think she wants this particular one she had just now… then she hid it here or something!”

Man. I keep on getting dissed by kids of late okay.

RowdyRudy wanted to go to the Apple store to get this alarm clock to go with his iPod. It was sold out and i ended up walking out with a charger for mine -_-

Then i wanted to check out the LG Viewty cos my bloody Nokia 3250 has been hanging on me every time i send an sms and i have to return the Dopod (that always crashes on me -_-) once i quit end of Jan. Retailing at 2K, it looks great, touchscreen and all, but i was quite disappointed by its picture quality.

Might as well just stick to getting a better digicam and much smaller hp. I don’t know. I’ll keep hunting but i’m already tempted to buy the same Sony Ericsson as RowdyRudy, DatinTini and two others on my team have.

We went to see what’s up in Banana Republic. Rudy went right. I went left.

And we didn’t have contact for a good 15 minutes cos we were too engrossed checking out everything that was on sale.

Again, evil sale signs. 30%. 50%… Die.

I picked out two dresses to try (Danger, danger!) - a sleeveless blue silk babydoll with embroidery on the upper chest area, and another babydoll of soft grey wool with pleats down the front.

Not only were they a perfect fit, but the cutting was fantastic as well.

RowdyRudy came to give his opinion as i twirled in it, “Ooh… very nice. Very you! *touches silk* Ooh..!”

At first, i told myself i’d allow the purchase of one dress. Just one. Think about Bangkok, Joyce, think about Bangkok. And as i placed them at the cashier where Rudy was already paying for his purchases, i picked up a third dress to try on - a dark blue silk shift with butterfly sleeves and a silk ribbon to tie round the middle into a bow at the front.

Besides the fact that they were half price off each (Wow! What a steal, man!) i got suckered by their design, material and detail.

So… since i had to choose between three, i gave myself an allowance of two.It just made sense, see.

>.<

“I think we’re very bad for each other!” i told RowdyRudy, cos we’re always egging each other on to get ‘just one more shot’, buy another gadget, go for another holiday, or in this case, buy everything we liked cos it’s on sale.

Plus i just went to the ATM thinking that by withdrawing more money, i wouldn’t have to visit it for another three days, at least. Super tak jadi sial.

Whatevah

 

5 Minutes of ‘Just Looking’ = Fail.

CherubicCho and i were rushing out of Gardens to head for our separate plans. He was going to play poker, and i, to No Black Tie to watch Reza Salleh, Shelley Leong, Az Samad, Pete Teo, and many others perform. (It was super packed. I already booked a table for Thursday night.)

“Hey, wait, walk this way, i want to walk through the bag section!” i tugged him to walk another route through Isetan.

So we pottered past some bags - DKNY, Marc Jacobs, Anya Hindmarch - “Ooh look! They’re all on sale!” said Cho.

“Oh my god. Die.”

They were like land mines, those sale signs. 30%. 50%.

“You should buy! So worth it! Tomorrow it will be gone!” exclaimed Cho.

The fellow damn evil. Worse then Kanch, i swear.

I fondled the bags So pretty… so pretty… oh no… OH NO

Then my brain did that memory loss thing, where next thing i know, i found myself filling up a form over the purchase of a giant Anya Hindmarch one.

My thoughts have been going back and forth between, “Weeee!!!” and “Fuck, what did i just do.”

Going back there today to pick it up cos i’m paying with cash and not card. Definitely not card 0_o

 

The C. Club

Working next to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has its perks of trying out all the new bars and restaurants due to convenience of timing and distance.

AshleyTheMonkey works at The Carat Club now (supposed to blog about their dinner cos they gave me a diamond to do so… but they haven’t sent me pictures yet, ho hum) and asked me whether i wanted to lunch there one day.

Me, always wanting to try new places, went, “OKAY!!” immediately.

Carat Club 

The C. Club consists of two floors directly above Coach at the main entrance of Pavilion.

Carat Club

One thing i don’t get is why they serve Jacob’s Creek when we feel it’s more of an atas place.
But i still ordered it anyway >.<

Carat Club

(AshleyTheMonkey told me that) They’re going to have an oyster tank in soon!
I love oysters… i can’t wait till the next time i’m feeling peckish and spoilt, then i’m just going to run there from the office and scoff them silly daintily. 

Carat Club

She was saying i *must* try the Belon since i haven’t yet.
RM23++ an oyster. Damn. I’m going to savour it slowly sial -_-

Carat Club

That’s my apple + celery consomme, Ash had the mushroom soup (they’re about RM12-14 each. Ish. I can’t remember properly, sorry)

They were super.
And the food… was even more super.
We shared two mains - the duck confit and the cod.
The portions are pretty small, but not overtly so, and the texture and taste just makes up for it to the point i was sighing in pleasure.

The mains were about RM 40-something to 60-something (depending on what you were having), which is all fine and dandy with me compared to bloody Mexican restaurant Carlos (which IceCalvin, JustinYap and i went to before the Club Monaco launch) whose mains cost roughly the same… teamed with quarter the service and half the taste.

After happy afternoon lunching, Ash took me on a tour around the place.

The Carat Club import in other brands from overseas as well.

Carat Club

Ash knew her shit man, and explained why this was expensive, and where that was from, and how that was made.

“Oh, there’s a fairy vase as well.”
“Ooh!” *bounds towards glass case*

Carat Club

Carat Club

Then she showed me this crystal table which cost 300k.

“The chairs are gorgeous… but 300k?!”
“YuP.”
“… if i bought this now, i’ll put it in the middle of the road and drape a plastic over it. Then. I’d have to sit under it and LIVE there. Cos i won’t be able to live anywhere else. -_- “

Carat Club 

But cool right the chairs? (the chairs aren’t for sale, bummer.)
I love the chairs. One day, i’ll buy myself these sweet chairs. Then i’ll just… sit on them. And wait for my servants to… feed me Cappanelle shiraz from a crystal glass while my nails are being done while i blog.

Shit i sound like Kanch. -_-

This here is a special staircase.

“It’s the only one in Malaysia!” quipped Ash.
“Erm… okay… *stares perplexedly at so-called special winding staircase*… and why is it so special?”

Apparently cos it’s the only winding staircase without a tiang/pillar in the middle to support it.

Ash has the keycard to the jewelry cases so she showed me some and i tried them on.
Laughing

Carat Club

Above is one that costs RM59k.
I showed DM the pics in my camera and he commented it looked really big for 59k.
“It’s 1 carat…”
“It looks big there… oh. Your fingers are so tiny!”

CherubicCho and i were talking diamonds last night and i mentioned that bit.
Cho: Moral of the story is…
Me: ?
Cho: Only date a girl with small hands so the diamond always looks big!
Me: -_-

I told LaughingLoga the babble i was blurting when i had it on in the store, “So it’s like, the price of the car i want to buy! Except, hey! It’s sitting on my finger. And it has no wheels… and it’s much tinier… And it’s shinyyyyy. *crazy glinting eyes*”
“… Who was next to you when you were saying this?”
“Just Ashley…”
“Okay good, and she’s your friend right. So you weren’t scaring people.”
“Bastard.”

Carat Club

See the pink string? Well it’s actually made out of silver and the company producing it devised a way to dye it.
I think the long necklace costs like, 5k or something.

Carat Club

I was seeing stars and feeling like a magpie after that.
Pei from staring at shiny things so intently. 0_o

 

I Know What ‘Clucky’ Means Now -_-

This was on Wed night when we had our agency dinner - BAT/Ogilvy/G2 - at TSB in Bangsar.
Trust that on the one and only night Lap Sap decides to go monotone in theme, the agency dinner had a dresscode of ‘vibrant + colourful.’

Whatevah

So i semangat wore this dress for the dinner, and brought this B+W dress to change into in the car before going to Palate Palette

mwah mwah
 moi, Arianna, DatinTini, NotYourAverageJo, Franchesca

Alot of people didn’t dress colourful also -_-
But they told me the next day i won ‘Best Dressed’ Laughing (some Parkson voucher, i wonder how much! i wonder how much!)
Must be the hair Laughing

I left early to pick puggy up and we tied these plastic postcards, i spotted in MPH earlier in the day, around our necks.

Okay, i totally got carried away posting up pictures. I meant to put up only mine… i took from Kevin and Jiji’s FBs >.<

One Saturday (quite a while back, i must say), NickIsTaller asked me where he should go get his hair cut.
“Qube la duh…” i answered as if that was the stupidest question my brother could possibly ask.

I hooked him up with an appointment with Ashley @ Qube and as i was running out to have a lunch meeting with the Lap Sap girls, he reached home.

Nicholas Wong

Went to Delicious @ Bangsar Village to see MeeshGun, SarChan, Melissa, Trish and Nur concerning this small event thing (it’s shush for now >.<) we’re trying to put together.

Melissa: So… how did you meet so-and-so? (i forgot which girl she was referring to)
Me: … Partying Shy

It was kinda weird seeing all the girls whom i’m so used to yelling in my ear/trying to make out with me/pouring drinks/dancing like a monkey and basically, just misbehaving, in the daytime.

I was gonna write ‘wear happy whacky clothes,’ but even in the daytime we’re all happy-coloured.
Cool

Lap Sap Tootsies!

At one point during the meeting, i noticed a cute-as-heck toddler waddling behind the glass panel i was sitting at.
Gazing at the tiny thing, i couldn’t help smiling to myself how layan diri she was.

Nur nudged me, “Are you feeling clucky?”
“… what??”
“You know, clucky.”
“Yes i know what clucky is… what do you mean…”
“You know, like ‘pok pok’ *makes chicken sounds* You wanna lay an egg!”

Howling with laughter, i whacked her on her arm. Nur, i mean. Not the kid.
I cannot unnerstand her ozzie slang sometimes wei.

 

Far Off Spectrums - MIFA + Babies 0_o

Was so busy during MIFA/Fashion Week that i didn’t blog so many things about it!
>.<

This was on the day Daniel Chong had his show, and it was fantastic.
We were blown away, ooh-ing and aah-ing with mouths agape in astonishment.

“Seriously,” i whispered to EnvyShah, as we admired an exquisite black evening gown, “You chuck the model into a bloody longkang with that dress for a shoot and it’ll still look fucking good!”

Someone else bounded up to me after the show, “Oh my God, it was so good! Farah Khan kalah okay!”
I laughed damn loud.

This here is JustinYap with some of his award-winning creations.

Justin Yap

Ini pula Jimmy Lim, whom i adore cos he’s so genuine and sweet, unlike many don’t-know-if-they’re-fake queens in the fasion industry.

Jimmy Lim + Joyce Wong

Jimmy Lim

Upon questioning him about the masking tape on his mannequins, i expected some kickass reply with some creative concept or something behind it.
Padahal, “Oh, the mannequins were ugly!”

Whatevah

Biresh looked so dashing in a suit, i *had* to take a picture.
Cool

Biresh Vrajlal

Darling IceCalvin aka Calvin Cheong was stylist for the show.
Pleased

Calvin Cheong

The show started at 6pm, by the time it ended i had just enough time to zip over to FoxyLisa + Lokey’s house for LilClaire’s full moon party.

Isn’t it quick? I swear i just blogged her wedding and pregnancy… then POOF! The woman pops just like that.

It was culture shock to run (in my heels) from an environment of strutting models, photographers, fashion designers and cocktails; to a house party filled with various couples accompanied by all their kids running around and playing with each other.

I think they got a culture shock from me as well, cos i so didn’t look part of the jigsaw what with my dramatic hair and eyelashes.
Shocked

Some of the kids stared at me open-mouthed and i was just hoping they wouldn’t start bawling or something.

I tell you, one moment i’m talking fabrics and dresses, 30 minutes later i’m sitting in the bedroom with FoxyLisa breastfeeding her baby whilst i ask curious Qs about breastfeeding, with Lokey in the middle making sure i don’t look at Lisa’s tits. -_-

Lokey: Don’t look ar! Don’t look ar!
Me: For fuck’s sake, look for what! … Oops…

I. Must. Learn. To. Cease. Cursing. And. Be. Baby-SG Friendly.

Awww… Kuchi* Kuchi*!

She’s so tiny!

Lisa: Claire, meet Aunty Joyce!
Me: Oh God, no… no Aunty Joyce…
Lisa: Urm… Aunty Fairy..?

I meant the former word -_- but i guess i just have to surrender and be banished to auntydom.
Surprised

Staring at LilClaire in awe, bizarre thoughts ran through my head - OH LOOK. It’s a little Lisa. Like, this thing just CAME OUT of Lisa. How weird. So… Lisa and Loke Cheng made THIS. WOW. Oh my. Oh, she’s prettyyyyy! But then, Lisa is pretty, and Lokey’s not bad-looking, so of course Claire’d be pretty… Hmm she’s still sleeping. I wonder how much they sleep? Wah, look at her arms, so cute! I wanna bite! Hmm. She’s still sleeping. Okay la. I cukup tengok already.

Mummy Lisa!

MummyFoxyLisa who had an easy birth considering it’s her first child (she *is* your first child right? Right? Right? Haha i’m kidding Lokey >.<)

On the day she was giving birth, she smsed me around 3pm saying she’s on the way to the hospital.
At 7pm, she smsed me along the lines of ‘yay! Claire’s out! La la la!’
Woman made it sound like she went to the dentist, not labour.
0_o

Lil’Claire finally woke up!
I see mischief in her eyes. I like.

Lil Claire… aw
