I guess so, I just do

Its been a while since i've written personally.

But I guess the rain and construction drilling had my nerves itching to ink someplace. So here i am, typing the randoms away and getting away from the slow ass hands of time.

Uninspired. The word I've been stuck to for a few months now. I wake up and i'm always ALWAYS tired, dreading the day, and just not looking forward to any major shits. Life wasn't suppose to be this gloomy. It was suppose to be funny.

Until lastnight when I decided on SIDS for a pint of Kilkenny. Things started to change. It was fucking awesome just sitting there enjoying my kilk and talking to ms.crabby about life. About why we get so upset and emotionally psycho sometimes and why we provoke men in our relationships. Basically why we poke them till their angry guts blow to kingdom come. And then we sealed it with splendid laughter. mwahah.

Then I thought, man this is a rare occasion and we must make a toast to the perfect weather, Edmund (the bday boy we dont know), the irish ale, the pub, the company, the seats, and how we're so lucky to be warming up those seats exchanging oddball opinions.

Let's just say I'm glad to be here. Even if it gets gloomy sometimes.

Ok, here's my weekend chopped up into tit bits.

Friday

ZOUK'S 6th Anniversary-The Madhatters party (they call it)

I thought it was a disaster honestly. Last years theme of decorated balls, mushrooms, and characters were actually colorful and creative. This year, however they brought it down to Alice in Idunowhatland. It was a muddy puddy battle of tea cups and like one big skinny Mushroom which i thought looked familiar from last years gudang. From a picture view, it actually looked kinda pretty, but not when ur standing there with the mess. I felt cheated.
People were beyond dresscode rules, they dressed like psycho hatters with leather jackets(fa up with that yo)and combat boots? And one girl wore fishnet stockings on her face (thats quite gross)Girls were armed with feathers and weird animals fastened to their heads, it creeped me out a lil. Fashion victims to the end man.
And if they didn't have feathers or anything fancy on, they were too busy showing off their lower butt cheeks off their super short dresses.
The event was skanky, messy, uninspiring, packed, and was painful to be in. And it took me a while to find the MADHATTER himself cuz other ppl went all out on their outfits, so they all played a role at Zouk that night.
And the free flow was shit to, I was there on time but the drinks were busy flying off to the greedy punks. So that means we didn't get any.
Aiyayay...the word is cape deh.


Saturday

Cathys 25th Birthday Bash-Planter's Haven

Planter's Haven is a gorgeous place. We booked the clubhouse all to ourselves and really NOBODY was there except for the guards. We had a bbq frenzy of all meat types, from seafood to drips of pork, beef, lamb, chicken wings, sausages, potatoes, and salad. The process of it was really messy, disorganized, and everyone was just budging in saying this one needs a brush of butter, salt, peps, etc. Others were like No, we need it plain. But despite the chaos, the food tasted awesome. And I can safely say, we've earned the licence to grill. We tried copying Mr.Rainford. haha..yeah but we said things like "Shove this baby to grill and you're ready for a party!" haha close enough.












Extreme sports-grilling







And Finally, the end of Cathy's cake :)

Sunday

Was actually planning to install myself to some Sunday light Sinatra and other jazz tunes. But unfortunately, i had to go for Princess Adeline's 8th Birthday party.
It actually turned out to be fun! The birthday girl had three cakes, one barbie cake, a haagen daz ice cream cake, and a confused looking pikachu dino cake. haha...funny and corny. I quite like corny parties. Plus, the kids these days are pretty hardcore too, they're fierce, naughty as hell, and they've got balls THIS BIG. They dont even feel threatened by their parents and even cops. Like this boy was hitting all these kids with his penis shaped balloon and the clown was like "Stop it or else i'll call Police, you wouldnt want that" and the boy just went "So, I dont care, ask them to come" And the clown and I were looking down at this boy in disbelief. The boy didn't give a tight ass what we thought, he continued torturing the little ones anyway.
It got me thinking of my birthday party when i was a kid. My mother baked a brownie chocolate cake filled with m&m layers. haha classic, homebaked, and original too. I loved the damn cake. But oh well can't beat barbie can i? :p




She's so adorable.

After the party, I went to buy a good ass GERMAN kitchen knife. Forgot the brand name but I know its wicked as hell and it will enable me to chop vegetables faster than the speed of light. Okay not...but i'm glad i got the knife. its sexy as hell.

Yeah thats about the end of ze weekend.
The weekend on its way should be a great one. Taking it to the beach. woot woot!

Easter island :)

I'm thinking of going somewhere next year.
Since I'm on a tight budge this year with the weddings, the trips, the shopping i promised myself to make, and all the food i've been eating.I doubt I want to squeeze the moolahs outta my piggy bank for this trip. I'm totally breaking bank this year.
2010 is quite a compressed year filled with activities, mostly for a wardrobe stock-up and tummy fillers. But yeah it's cool, i've learned to be patient. It doesnt feel right to leave just yet. And so I won't.

I've tossed and turned, slept and dreamt, googled and fantasized, and then finally oh finally I came to conclude my ultimate holiday destination. Before I decided on where to go, my goal was to complete Southeast Asia, head to Europe, visit friends in the states, but then I thought I will eventually do so anyway, so wtf is the rush kan? Just go easy, put a dot on the map already.
The dot on the map belongs to "Isla de Pascua" also known as Easter Island. I'm sure many have heard about its mysterious nature, but not yet been. It's a special territory of Chile and is infamous for its oddball statues. I checked out the images and honestly, it looks like you're in a Mario game set with all those big ass villain heads. I guess I want to go someplace random and unique? It's not about being different, it's about being there.







It looks like a sensational place to be. Like I just wanna picnic there and sip on my lemonade and enjoy the view. Like just friggin chill the hell out with a friend and the rest of the man made homies around. There's this online astrologer I assign my mind to for accurate readings, predictions, etc blah. So they listed several vaca spots for me to explore and do a little bit of soul searching in. Some I've been a few years back and some were too bloody dangerous to go to. Then I saw South America, then it led me to pulau Easter. :) Mainly, it's Easter Island, and on the light side I would like to check out the countries around Chile, like Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, etc..the countries that are always featured in Miss Universe pageants. I have to check it out! Ah was just checkin out the flight details, fuck its not cheap!
And here's a googled pic of Chile. Shit, so pretty.





So I feel like going there next Easter? I'm sure they decorate the island or form some sort of little Polynesian island party. I can't wait already mon, South America it is. whoopee!

TIll then, I'll be TRYING to save the means. HAVE TO!

Who wants to come with? :)

Make do with 2010

It's been a while since i've blogged.
Works been "quite" hectic.
Life's been "quite" busy.

The year 2010. I've always made resolutions prior to the new year. Well for the past 5 years I have. And in the end, the list always seems similar to me and never crossed off. Which means I have failed the challenge to complete list.

I checked into work late today.
Got in at 10.30am to be accurate.
Thats an hour plus late.

Then again, it's not the first time its happened. Blame it on the alarm. It's suppose to alarm me but no...it put me to deep sleep instead. Useless.


But i do love today's Monday. December 14, 2009. Memorable because of a pretty eventful weekend.

I'm smiling already.

The Langkawi Lamp post :)

Langkawi dulu

The actual date of trip: 29 Aug-31st

Just for keepsake, I want to remember my lamp post moments in Langkawi.



as usual, my blanket a.k.a IBU JANE'S follow me everywhere, provided if there's enuf space for it to crash.

I loved the whole alone time with hot earls and drags by the balcony. I enjoyed it so much. Loved the fact that I didn't have to take care of any dugongs for the weekend. Just chill, watch the trees, and be a certified loner. Plus the TV was out, it just wasn't workin. And I knew it wanted me to have an actual holiday by not allowing me to grip on any form of news updates or shows..etc. Even my room left me alone man. I loved it. I didn't bother to call anybody for chit chats. Didn't miss anyone either. Just felt like fuckin the world yknow.



My balkon of wisdom


I went with my cousy Janice and her bf Thomas.
Initially, it was suppose to be my cousin and i bumming on the shores. But her thom-thom wanted in (and im sure it was for romantic reasons)plus to me they look like two fresh oysters. So yeah I get it and I didn't mind me, myself, and I time either. The space was worth it.







Foodie galore! Yeah we visited Orchid Ria once again for the fluffball giant prawns, the crabs, the ikan goreng bawang putih, and well it tasted better than the other time. I wanted to try the kampung huts selling tomyam and ikan bakar, but the rain wasn't giving in. What a bitch man. But okay who am i to complain when seafoods on my plate. Orchid Ria is commercialized as hell, one of the shareholders are superbly rude and if you ditch em, they won't even notice cuz its always occupied with people anyways. Their lucky their seafood is fresh and up to par with the Balinese siput restos. Lucky asses. Cuz if it wasn't, I just wonder how nice he will be to us. He is rude, assholic, and disrespectful. Three things you should never be when serving your customers. When they want a seat, you don't ask em WHY they want a gaddamn seat, you wipe the rain off and bring it over. He complains. What uncle is this man? I swear he's not an old man, he's an asshole in disguise. I have so much respect for older ppl but that old hag deserves to be kung pao'd. x[



When the food arrived, i couldnt help but smile and eat my ass off. After 20 minutes of the grumpy disaster.




Yummy ass crabbbbbbss

Then of course we met our bud Thierry Phal. He owns the Yellow Cafe, a gorgeous place with pretty balinese hammocks, bamboo ceilings, rustic lamps, and yellow couches of comfort. Just stayed there for hours chilling, mumbling, laughing, chilling all over again. You should really just bum on the floor and stretch your legs to his thai cushion thingi. awesome shit.


The Yellow Cafe






the kuning couch



Balinese hammock, so innovative dontcha think?

Not to mention our trip to UNDERWATERWORLD LANGKAWI. It was so-so. There were no goddamn dugongs to see. There was this awesome jelly fish tho. there were those grumpy penguins featured in happy feet too and some other little unique beings :)


My favorite creature. Forgot what type of Jellyfish tho. But I would call em the X-RAYed Jellyfish clan


me chilling with my homie


the grumpy breed



The mighty Sting Ray. It just always takes my breath away. Gorgeous creatures.



DOMINO DAMSELFISH. DAMN. what a fuckin funny name.

It was raining. So I did not toast. Yeah saddie ay, plus it wasn't the right time of the month either.
I didn't get to indulge in water sports, parasailing.

Here's a shot of janice/nyonya penguin/janite up high in the air



hahahahah


To wrap it up




Warning: Swine Flu is hazardous. Cover up like me. (okay I want popcorn n ribena now)

haha..im so lame.

It's Friday today, happy happy joy joy!


Okay, thats all folks.

the dragger i am

Yknow one of those days when you set a post-it to remind/tell u what to do but you don't end up doing it and u realize you're such a slob by Sunday.

Well this week, I didn't need no post-it. I just suddenly remembered, bothered, to do the one thing i've been dragging on for so long. To service my car.
And I did just that and oh lookie what they gave me in return for servicing, a prebiotic Alla Fonte drink all wrapped up with some other souvenirs. How thoughtful. I was thirsty. And boy the Mandarin Orange Flavour really did grace on my tastebuds nicely. Yumster.
It's thursday, i'm bored in the cube, but it does feel good to have my machine back in action. Now i can plan long back n forth trips or perhaps just drive my day away. I was just thinking of SUVS. And now im wondering why i'm stuck with my sedan. hmm..SUVS are awesome, you can fit people in, shop for ur groceries in bulk, and travel on rocky roads without feeling sorry for the poor guy. Below my car there are scratches, countless numbers of em. It's almost like ART. Damn the shortie really. Anyways I love driving when the roads are empty. And i love the sight of empty parking spots, it just feels like freedom to park at the right spot at the wrong time.

I've been checking out "fuckyeah" tattoos and other tat sites. Some of em are ridiculously dumbo. Only a few deserve the right click "save picture as" effort. These are the cool few I right clicked "save picture as" on.


what a wise owl


this is inkhot.



this girl is awesome hot



spiritually dainty

I won't show the stupid ink blot pics. Incase the poopers threaten to sue me. And i dont want to explain why I dont like it to em cuz they wont get it. And they will probably blame me for saying it looks dumb. And I dont want em to beat me up either, cuz a majority of the f'd up inkblots look like they belong to roided bikers with friggin veins poppin out here and there. U bet im scared. And my daddy's no mafia.
I mean i know i dont have the rights to judge. But when i scrolled thru the hall of shame, i seriously thought it was ridiculous. Like "how in the fuck could you live with that?" type of ridiculous.

Okay i'll shut my trap and move on with my life. ahem.

Man, CHOKE-HyBRID sounds good.Taken from THE SPIRIT movie soundtrack. It's been months and I haven't choked just yet. Still ALLLL GOOOOOD. :D


Man, I can't wait to go home for shower power. And i can't wait to eat like vegetables, fruits, and have a glass of OJ. I feel like cheese too.
BINGING is what i do best, binge here and there till it becomes a full meal.
MMM..yumm..binge, sit back on the couch, and catch Anthony Bourdain in like a third world country lighting his cig or perhaps in Washington DC eating what you call a BURGER. I heart Bourdain's ability to describe just about anything in the most unique way ever. Yeah now i have to get his books. Since i love his language so much.

its time to go now.

He will be CHOPPED, just like the cooking show on T&L

A puffy eye-bag night it was. No laughing dreams, no flying pigs, just an invisible blood battle.

This morning, my eyes were curry puffs. heated up, swollen, and curry angry. All from no sleep.

I swear relationships seriously give you eye bags and increase your nicotine intake.
Somehow, nicotine makes you feel better at times like these.

If only couples could just let things go easily and move on to a good night of sleep.
He prefers to stay with the temper, attitude, and move on to a rotten night of sleep.
I hate that, it's too lengthy n tiring.
It gets OLD. DUSTY. MOULDY. SOUR.

I'm pissed that I bothered myself to disrupted sleep.
I'm pissed that he's bugging the shit out of me.
I'm pissed that i've already apologized and his greed balls wanna suck more apologies out of me
More over i'm pissed cuz it takes quite a fuckin country for me to say "i'm sorry".
It makes me feel weak to say sorry, but I have learned when ur wrong, u just are. The more you make it sound like ur right, the more the guilt deepens and you do realize it down the argumentative road.

So i didn't take that road. Instead i blurted out the apology and oh goodness hell it wasn't ENOUGH. Fuck that, there's only so much I can do. And he is no KING. Nor is he anything significant.

Well, he played 'GOD' last night.
Believe me, it didn't work for nuts.

If he wants me to respect him, he should be mature about accepting the apology. If he wants to accept it and nudge it back to my face. I might as well pick on his fuckin balls. That's why the guilt is no longer in me.

C,mon if someone wants to make someone feel guilty, the last thing they should do is throw back an apology right after asking for it. That's why i'm a boiling tomato now. Cuz its nail-biting annoying. retarded. childish. And everything it shouldn't be.

This is my method of arguing. The memory spike.

"Whoever in discussion adduced authority uses not intellect but rather memory."

This is his way on the trippin highway: The stupid shield

"Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic."
- William Ewart Gladstone-


What he lacks:

"I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle."

-Andrew Carnegie-

What we BOTH LACK:

"Lower your voice and strengthen your argument."

-A Lebanese proverb-

There goes a never-ending battle. Sooner or later, i'll be able to make a script out of it. Yeah its long alright and there are episodes as well. I dont know what season we're up to now. But the Bold and Beautiful is not far off, no seriously.

ps. I can't believe i'm sharing this with Google.



Unlike my Marlys, he is worth quitting on.

A mental indigestion too

Dearest

I've been feeling really gassy, lost, and intimidated easily as of late.
I do NOT know why. Pss.

I miss my friends?
Yeah totally. But why does missing cause indigestion? nah its last night's meatworks really.
I am really not feeling so good right now. I feel like a fat slob that just ate 3 rounds of korean barbeque at BONGA! And i did just that. I feel like i haven't been exercising much. And i've been doing just that.
I think i need to wake the shit outta my face and just go for the kill. Sweat the bitch numsayin? Just like swim. run. set a new diet for myself. Some fibrous goods if possible.

I haven't been doing much besides admitting myself to the cube. handing in work. then there's the occasional daydreamer side of me?

It was funny, last night i laughed real hard when i was sleeping. Then john woke me up, shocked me shitless with his face infronta mine. And it was dark. So he looked like some sad ass goblin. haha. And he started bursting out in flames of laughter, telling me that it was my laughter that killed him.
Whatevs mister. People have dreams. Just that I happen to bring them to reality in a scary chuckle. Puss-wuss :)



This beats my scary chuckle. Jayden's 1st. Aunty Doris made a book of her own quotes for him. Talk about humor back in the days, priceless.

Man I understand the power of facebook. It makes you miss ur friends more, it gets you in trouble, it naturally bitches about others, it also helps you get connected at the same time. But most of all is the missin bit. I miss me poyples!!!!




This blows major jobs man. All the girls and cliff gathering in Seattle, without me! Unfair! But u girls do look pretty tho including cliff. hehe..kangen choy-choys.

I can't wait to gather. But we're all like scattered here and there. Some in Bali,the rest in bangkok. Gimana dong? Settle for a place peeps. If not i'll just visit them next year aja. Tix are fixed for New years. ahhhh.


Ok i'm going to work now. The more pics i see on Deytas fb, the more i miss them monkeys.

peach out for now.

The week slipped on me.

This weeks a butterfly.
I thought yesterday was Monday. (Yesterday was Wednesday)
And today's Thursday, close to Friday. :)

Well I went for a PUMA sale on Tues. I bought shoes, bags, shirts,and I'm so glad i got this indie-elephant sweater. Size L, but who gives really?



Pretty Les Elephant really is comfortable to wear.


John's friend gave us an annual planner. More like an organizer in chart form where you can erase, slot in, erase again the stuff that you planned for the year throughout. I think its sweet, i can't wait to organize my planning. It's like a bigger picture, rather than just focusing on month by month. I will start that on the 27th Monday.

Will my lovely weekend go to waste?

I'm just wondering, what to do this weekend?
It feels like time has slipped so fast down the calendar and its already SAT n SUN to plan out.

I didn't get enough time to plan properly. I do know Hennessy Artistry @ Bukit Kiara's on the menu. Since i adored my v.s.o.p last year, I know for a fact that i'll live life to the full this Sat.

But how about Sunday? I'm tempted to raid Massimo Dutti again. Perhaps i should just beat it and save till the pay kachings? Yep, kaching.

Honestly, people tell me that i want many things. Who gives, wanting is healthy. Gives you hope to live a certain lifestyle, to live up to standards you set for yourself.

This week, my super WANTS go to the basic minimal:




Brick. Stairs. Frames.





Cute wind chime.



Spacious whites.




A dining hall like this to eat in



ANother dining hall alternative to eat in



Corner filled with kiddy pillows



A place to watch weeds, californication, and Travel n Living :)



Wine bottles for Joe and Mur. Gnarly Head.



Last but not least, a kintamani puppy or any kampung or pedigree pups.

Tonight's plans?

Checking out Cloths and Clef's ONE year anniversary

Anyways, now i'm gonna go light up my death stick and contribute to pollution.

Toasted.
