| Do you remember the time, when we fell in love? |
When I heard the news over the radio at 7am, I was in shock.
Michael's gone.
The King of Pop.
And right after the news, they played Remember The Time.
A few tears rolled down my cheeks.
I have no idea why I was so "affected" by the news.
It's not like I know him personally...
But it did affect me.
I grew up listening to him. My sister and I did, thanks to my dad's influence...
We'd watch a VCD of his greatest hits together.
Imitate the awesomecool dance move from Smooth Criminal...
You know, that move where he and a few dancers would lean ridiculously to the front and slowly get back to balance??
Yeah, we face-slammed the couch a couple of times trying to "practise" that move.
And then Thriller comes on, and we'd use the couch pillows to hide behind every time the werewolf chased the woman.
And then The Earth Song's video would make me cry.
In short, Michael's music is the type of music where, if I hear it on the radio, I'd stop whatever I'm doing just to enjoy it :)
(He was my first celebrity crush. Lol. I know, a bit weird, but I loved the suits and the bad-ass dance in Smooth Criminal)
And listening to his songs, when you KNOW he's gone, is just weird. A different feeling to it.
I don't know. Maybe it's just the newness of the news that freaks me out. I'm listening to the song when I knowwwww his body is lying cold somewhere. Brr...
Anyway, I hope he doesn't feel any more pain, wherever he is now.
A man who gave such a beautiful gift to the world (in the form of platinum-selling records) should not have been shunned away to his not-so-nice state of living after the legal cases against him.
I actually would like to believe it wasn't him.
He DID NOT do it.
I know, I'm biased, but HEY.
Smooth Criminal is awesome.
Beat It is awesome.
So are his millions of other hits.
His moonwalk is unbelievable.
Such a great performer.
R.I.P.

| Of knowwwing, lack of bras, sexism and metal snakes. |
Yesterday night was the first time I walked into a cinema and knew almost everyone in there.
Well, not that I knowww everyone.
See, the firm I work for decides to have a movie night! :)
(Apparently the first of its kind in the firm's history)
So it's not that I knowww everybody there, but more like the I've-seen-your-face-before-I-know-you-work-where-I-work-therefore-I-knowww-you kind knowing.
You know?
It was weird.
The entrance of the cinema hall had the firm's banners :P
Then I realised the cinema seats were of the firm's corporate colours! How perfect.
And we watched Transformers 2 on the night of the premiere *ohh yeah, kick ass firm* ;)
And so we allllllll watched metals clang together.
Annnnnnd we watched Megan Fox braless running very, very hard.
And watched magic powder bring someone back to life.
Good stuff ;)
Although the evil hot girl with the metal snakey tongue was a bit terrifying. If any guy tried to rape her I think her metal snakey thing will castrate the rapist right inside her.
Lol.
Sorry for the details :P
Annnnyway,
If there's one thing I wish would stop?
It's the fact that men love going "Oh she's PMS-ing today" whenever a girl/lady/woman is upset/angry/blew her top.
Like...
WTH WTF STOP IT ALREADY.
What is it called when MEN get upet/angry/blow their top??
HUH??
It's not friggin bloody "PMS".
You mean you can't be angry without having to PMS?
It's upset-ness/anger/blowing their tops of because of some other valid reason which is probably due to you anyway :P
So stop pointing towards those three letters.
It's very sexist; immature, even.
Some girls do it (blaming the PMS when other women are upset/angry/blowing their top) too.
Do that in front of me and my metal snakey tongue will severe your tongue off, I swear :P |

| Aaa-chooOINK |
YAY!
Assunta is now known NATIONALLY!!
Not for it's fair grip on the English language...(when compared to most national schools ;)
Not for its pretty girls..
Not for its lesbians fame..
Not for its easy girls...(SOME la, okay, SOME)
Not for its missionary history...
Not for its super-long school song...
BUT FOR SWINE FLOO...
PIG FLOOO........
Pork chop floo.....
:)
All these travellers who just boarded off a plane from those H1N1-highlighted countries are plain selfish la.
I mean, cmon. They've just arrived back from the floo-hit countries and go around to school/work/trains/buses/etc and share the joy.
WTF?
If you KNOWWW you just came from that area, please la.
Be more responsible to the greater public and stay at home a few days before you start going out if you feel fine.
I mean, you KNOWWW how it's spread.
You KNOWWW you won't know if you have it til after a few days...
So stay la at home for a few days to make sure you're alright...
I'd self-quarantine myself for a week at least, and catch up on those addictive Hong Kong dramas and the Kardashian drama :D
For the greater good of the masses.
Y'know.
In case.
:)
To those who are sniffling or sick...
Get well soon :) |

| Parenting. |
Imagine the time when we...
("we" as in all you people around my age... If you don't know how old I am, I'm 16 ;)
...are all grown up...
We'd settle down...
Build a family...
Suffer as parents...
And become an old fart.
Yep.
And then...
AND THENNNN!!!
Our kids might probably stumble onto our probably then prehistoric Facebook accounts!
Prehistoric because by the time our kids are our age today, they'd most probably have super-technology at their disposal.
Maybe they'd be implanted with some chip in their head immediately after they're born so they can access through their minds something like our Internet; except 10 times faster and better.
Maybe immediately after birth they'd be injected with some kinda chemical that makes their minds mega-computers.
Maybe they'd...
Maybe...
I don't know.
But yeah. What we have now will be prehistoric.
In the next thirty years, we'd be sitting at Starbucks (which, by then, would be sooo not hip or cool anymore) recollecting the good ol' days when we'd used to comment on each other's Wall, Facebook quizzes and Twit.
We have all our blogs, Facebook, Friendster, Twitter accounts now...
And we document in text, pictures and videos all our adolescent stupidity and foolishness for the world to see.
Imagine.
Just imagine...
Our kids finding them.
Our camwhore pictures. A plentyful of those.
Our pictures while trying on dresses in the fitting room with our best girlfriends.
Our la-la pictures.
Our pictures of short-lived teenage romances.
Our thousands and hundred thousands of pictures with our fake camera smiles.
Our...erm... X-rated pictures??
Yeah you get the idea. :P
"OMG Dad used to be such a dorrrrrk!!!"
"Mum...had bangs. Ew."
"AHAHAHHAAHAHHA Dad thought he was some kinda gangsta?????"
"Err... My mum's into Hannah Montana."
"Our parents actually shelled out $$$ for them ugly shoes... Crocs?"
Oh you know.
And finally...
*GASP!!*
"MUM'S FACEBOOK STRIPPER NAME WAS...
MS TICKLECOCKER."

| Friday Night |
My working hours, officially, are from 8.30am to 5.30pm...
However, due to the nature of the industry, the inofficial working hours range from 8.30am to 8.30pm...or even til the next morning.
TODAYYY... I didn't have much work to do and I finished way before 5.30pm.
So I helped out my colleagues a bit...
And then...voila!
5pm.
I was chatting with a friend online, working, who was also counting down the half hour til the day was over.
5.15pm...
Friend reminded me : 15 more minutes to pretend to look busy when you're actually thinking of going home/going to party/etc etc...
5.25pm...
YES!! Five minutes to go!!
And finally...
5.30pm!!!
WOO~~
START PACKING AND RUN OUT THE DOOR!!
RIGHT???
No.
I looked around.
No one was packing.
No one was leaving.
I checked the time on my laptop.
5.30pm.
I checked the time on my phone just to make sure.
5.35pm...(I set it 5 minutes faster, yes)
So I didn't pack.
I left everything as it was, just to blend in with the rest of my colleagues.
5.45pm.
Still no one going out the door with their bags.
I'm feeling a bit restless.
These people aren't going home til SATURDAY MORNING!!!
GRARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5.59pm
Finally, someone left with their bags.
6pm
I start packing.
Throw and chuck everything in the bag.
Walk out the door feeling like a dungu. |

| Lady Love ;) |
Dear blog,
Today,
when I got so sick of looking at my exam prep kit...
I opened an account at a GAL site.
(GAL=gays and lesbians)
Just to see how lesbian-worthy I am.
XD
Hahahahaha...
So please don't freak out if you see my face there.
I'm as straight as an arrow, and I love my boyfriend (who's a real guy, not an FTM :)
(FTM = gay slang for transsexuals; aka Female-To-Male)
How I fared among the ladies..?
Time'll tell.
Now...
Teruskan membakar minyak tengah malam!

| Say Cheese Naan!! |
I have this problem when friends take my picture.
They snap the picture, and then they look at it, and say,
"Again, again. Take another one, Rachel blinked la..."
Welllll..... I know I didn't blink.
See, when I smile or laugh or grin... My eyes kinda get very, very, verrrrrrry small..
I'm your typical Chinese :P
Hehe...
And this happened not once, not twice, not thrice, but a few times already!!
Aw, shucks.
So obviously, I can't say, "Oh no, photographer, it's just my sepet eyes!"
Hee. So let's take that shot again!
So I give a fake smile.
One that doesn't sepet-ise my eyes too much.
And Mr/Ms Photographer's happy.
Yaaay!

The dinner at Royale Bintang Chulan... * My classmates are just so gorgeous! * WH just looooves sitting/lying on another man's lap... As evidence, there's this :
 Can you see the joy on his face when he's lying down on LY's lap??

Quick, name something wrong with Chace!
... ... ... ... ... ... Nothing?
I thought so ;)
Why the sudden randomness?
I don't know.
I don't even watch Gossip Girl!!
I was just watching E-News when they featured some magazine's list of sexiest people in Hollywood..
Katy Perry...
Chace Crawford...
Liev Schreiber...
Christina Applegate...
And..
Helen Mirren.
Wow.
Beautiful at what, age 50??
But what caught my eye was the photoshoot shot of Chace, in some casual pants and a t-shirt...
Sprawled out on a bed...
His eyes just inviting me to join him there...
Heh.
I gotta wake up.
(next to him)

OMG.
WHAT THE???

What the fish / frog / fudge / freck / frick / fog / fag / flower ?????
(ran outta words starting with F)
Kris Allen can KISS ADAM LAMBERT's shiny-tight-leather-pants ASS!!!!!
Because even he knew Adam should've won.
Damn.
Anyway...
I'm going for this dinner with a Black Tie dress code.
And I realised I didn't have anything black-tie.
All I have are too skimpy..
Or too casual..
Or too boring.
:(
AND!
Oh wow, a few people I talked to these past weeks told me that I look 20-something!!
SO old..?
Heheh..
Start hitting the anti-ageing products?
Oh the vanity..
:P
Ni de yen shen, chong man mei li..
Dai zou wo de xin tiao.
Ni de wen rou, ru zer kao jin..

See, my Mandarin's improving ;)
My Mandarin's off the hook, yo!~

Okay la, it's totally OFF.

| The worst finally happened. |
Oh my god.
You know how after exams, you immediately fear the worst??
Don't know about you, but after my paper's collected, I just go, "OhmigawdI'mgonnafail".
A little exaggerated, yes, but it was just a matter of speech..
I knew in my head I wasn't gonna fail la, but takkanlah you're gonna go around saying, "Oh I sooo aced that piece of shet."
That, my friend, would be cockiness.
And as an auditor, always be prudent. Only disclose, but not recognise potential income, and always recognise potential losses immediately.
So yes, OhmigawdI'mgonnafail.
But I never did fail.
Mwahahahhaa.
But last week..
I sat for my first ACA progress test...
Admittedly, I got a bit over-confident..
Didn't study much for the test...
And sat for it..
Opened the paper...
...and started to sweat.
I walked out of the exam hall.
And for the first time,
I said
"OhmigawdI'mgonnafail"
...and meant it.
I really did fail that test.
MISERABLEH!!
Next progress test!!
I'MMA ACE THAT PIECE AH SHET!!
:D |

| ONE-EIGHT!! :) |
| I turned 18 last Friday :)
:)
:)
:)
:) :)
Although, yesh, I spent the whole day and evening at work...
=\
But hey, I guess that's the big bad world for you.
On a sexier note,
*rawrrRRR!!!!!!!!*
Mr Wang totally blew me away. Although I was ten miles from where he was on stage. The distance of my seat and the stage he pranced about on was... ...two countries apart. :( He still made me feel good though! Oh my god. When he hit my favorite ballads, I melted... Like M&Ms in your mouth... Like a bar of dark chocolate caught in the KL's heatwave. Like a bar of dark chocolate on his sexy, sexy chest. Wooo~~~ Sangatlah teramatlah panas nih... His voice is so mesmerizing. Could he be anymore perfect ah?? Damn it. I listen to him EVERYDAY on the train. And in the train, especially the morning ride, NO ONE smiles at 7.30am... Except for me of course. :)
I CAN'T listen to him and NOT smile. :) (which means his songs make me smile la...except for his heart-wrenching ballads *tears up*)
:)
But they'd probably think me nuts. 'Cos I do occasionally lip sync to the songs on the train... :P Whoops.. Hee. For more sexy pictures of God... Go to my Facebook only la :) |

| Bananas over Mr Wang ;) |
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MEN IN THE ACCOUNTING INDUSTRY???
Okay, as far as I can recall, back in ACCA, the male-female ratio was about 50:50...
But...
Walk into any accounts department of the office...
And all you see are skirts.
BLOODY HELL DID ALL THE MEN DIE AT WAR???
There can't be thaaat little men in accounting...
What on earth happened??
One of life's greatest mysteries.
Would be nice to see a guy filing in mundane paperwork for once :P
On another different matter completely...
Taking the LRT has been fun, especially for people with a runaway imagination...
There were these two Chinese dudes.
In tight t-shirts and nicely fitting jeans...
Carrying their huge-ass luggage bag with the tag from AirAsia still on.
They got on the train.
Sat directly opposite of me.
And they sat sooo close next to one another...
And their actions...were so gentle for men.
One was rougher than the other...
But they seemed so...harmonious in their communication.
Conclusion??
They're gay, running away from their conservative-homophobic kampung to live a new life together in KL, happily ever after.
:D
Oh oh AND!
This Indon couple rushed in and the woman quickly grabbed a seat while the dude quickly put his bags down, and opened this arm-sized box.
Then another box inside.
And took out...
A stethoscope and the arm-pressure measuring thing with the pump.
And he looked SO excited that he and his girlfriend/wife/sister/mother/friend started trying it out on themselves immediately.
No, it wasn't a toy.
They looked like they stole it from somewhere.
+___+
And it worked, I think, 'cos they looked so excited about it.
There you go, Dr. Thief!
And oh my goodness.
I can feel my English worsening.
Drastically.
I now speak with the Ah-Pek-Ah-Lian slang of which I have previously detested much.
Unfortunately if you speak properly, without a "local" or "Malaysian" or "normal" slang, you might give the person an impression that you're snooty and that you think you're better than them because you speak good English..
Yes, yes, one should not compromise one's standards, bla bla blah...
It's so easy to think and preach that, but when it comes to the real world where you meet all kinds of people from alllll kinds of backgrounds... You learn to compromise to get what you want/need.
Which is why my English is so sucks. You know??
Can you believe it, the client's accounting department asked my senior if I was LOCAL???
And my senior told them I should be local la...
And they were like, "But how can she be local and not speak Mandarin??"
=___=
Never heard of bananas ah??
Lol. Come, meet my friends :P
I mean, c'monnn.... I'm learning, damn it.
Yes, I do regret not learning Chinese when I was small and all, but
C'MONNNN!!!
It's not like I go around gasping and saying, "OMG you can't speak English???"
Grr...
You know who I want Mandarin lessons from?
LEE HOM.
Mr Wang...
:P
I bought a ticket for his show this Saturday!! ;D
Can't wait ;)

| Girls like boys who like girls who like boys who like..huh?? |
Last Saturday, I went back to my alma mater for Sports Day :)
I'm from an all-girls school.
(This piece of information is relevant for the following story ahead :P )
And so, Sam, Jean, and I (ex-students) and Lex (brother of a current student) were walking in to the school through the front gate when we saw a big group of boys waiting outside the gate trying to get in.
LOL
So when Lex walked in, this guy just grabbed his shoulder and said,
"Hey! You know me right?? You're N's sister right?? Can you bring me in please?? Eh bring me in la"
L/O/L!!!
Yes, our school is strict about the boys coming into the school compound.
My lil sister (a current student) even told me that she saw two groups of boys climbing over the concrete wall into the school compound that morning...
...just to find themselves face to face with the discipline teachers waiting for them on the other side of the wall.
XD
Ah, school...
It was just us girls.
Which was pretty cool :)
Yes yes, everyone NOT from an all-girls school automatically assumes that girls from all-girls schools are lesbians, kiss girls, and/or fawns over the first boy she sees.
The people who think that must have been, I don't know.. Mentally-challenged or something.
Yes, there are girls who like girls.
Yes, we love going ga-ga over Lee Hom and that cute guy who's a friend of a friend of a friend's.
(But not you, you butt-ugly dude.)
:P
Naw, I'm just kiddin.
And yeah, school was fun :)
Boys were... Umm... Very handy.
Every time we threw events like charity/fund-raising events and needed people by the masses?
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
The boys who were interested in the girls from school would be our dear targets.
Cos they'd do anything for the girls they fancy.
And they'd bring their group of friends along..
More people, more crowd, more money coming in, more response, etc etc...
Mwahahahhahahaa...
And every school social event was a grandeur show of who's whose boyfriend.
OH OH and who can forget...
The boys standing outside the school gate after school.
One of the high school courtship patterns?
Lol.
Just like a normal date, a boy meeting a girl...
Except its outside the school gate...
...and the boy comes with an entourage of his friends (for moral support??)...
...and the girl walks out to the school gate with her entourage...
Anddd everyone's in their school uniforms, carrying their bags and books.
:D
I miss being in school so much!!
College just made me realise how gross boys can get.
:P
And working...made me realise that these gross boys will one day grow up into mature, sexy men. |

| The Bus Stop. |
(photo courtesy of Kar Hoe who had to lie on the who-knows-what-had-been-there-before KL pavement to take this shot)
Welcome to KL!!
Yesterday, I took a shower on the streets of KL...
I was on Jalan Sultan Ismail and I was trying (and failing) to get a cab, in the middle of a storm.
I ran to the nearest bus stop, hoping to escape the rain...
But the person who designed the bus stop shelter was stupid.
Imagine the average bus stop shelter...
Now cut it up into four pieces and space them apart a little.
You get four small stooopid unfunctional shelters.
Thanks, bus stop shelter builder, you absolute genius, you!
So yeah, it was pouring madness.
And I stood in the middle of one of the miserable shelters, hoping to avoid as much rain patter as possible...
But Mother Nature's taking revenge on me...
For printing and amending it and re-printing and re-printing and using too much paper at work.
THE RAIN CAME IN SIDEWAYS!!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? THE RAIN BLEW IN SIIIIIIDEWAYSSS!!!
Oh my.
And after that, I talked to two Swedish ladies, recommended places to shop in KL, and we talked...
In the rain.
So I finally got into a cab.
And wrung rain water from my jeans.
And hair and jacket.
ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Still love you, KL.

| The Office. |
I got my VERY FIRST pay!!
Yes, I've been working for a month now.
And those who blackmailed me into buying lunch on my first pay, I'm so sorry (not really) to tell you that I gave my mum my first pay.
:P
Eheheheheh..
The working world is the BOMB.
I'm having sooooo much fun that time passes so quickly!!
I mean, I take the train to work and get in the office before 8.30am...
And before I know it, it's evening and its time to go home.
Of course, unless I have to work overtime.
And because everyone in the office usually works overtime, it's pretty awkward to gather my things and leave at 5.30pm.
Seriously, when I walk out the door with my bags and stuff, everyone I pass by in the office just looks at me funny.
Jealous, maybe? :P
Heheh. I don't know, but its apparently a culture in the industry to OT.
But time passes so fast!!
One week in college used to be forever, with the daily marathon of at least two three-hour lectures..
But now... Last Saturday seemed like yesterday!
Oh and oh wow.
Wowww.
I have this thing for men in shirts, ties and suits.
Oh wow.
Wowwwwwwww.
Men look so good in shirts and ties!
There's this one particular colleague of mine.
It's so sexy to watch him take his tie off once working hours end.
So friggin' sexy.
Yum.
I don't think he knows that I watch from the corner of my eye, everytime.
I hope not.
:P
And when men get serious, and they have this serious look on their face?
That's hot.
LOL, men are hot when they think.
XD
Yes, its a wonder how I get any work done huh.
So if anyone is around in KL during my lunch hour... 12.30pm, call me and we'll meet up! :) |

| Stand or sit? Stand or sit?? |
I was watching Saturday Night Live on Starworld.. And it’s pretty old… They show shows from way back. And then there are current ones, like Saturday Night Live: The Best of Jimmy Fallon.
Oh.
My.
God.
That guy is hilarious.
From his impersonation of Robert DeNiro to his ‘music’ to his improv interview with Paris Hilton… I’m in love with a cute loony.
I’ve never heard of him before this, but I love him. Love him, love him, love him.
Hi Jimmy..
=P
On another different matter completely… I take the LRT to work everyday…
And it’s a half hour ride one-way. So I’m either standing up on my heels with the not-so-light laptop all the way…
Or I get lucky and get a seat.
But it’s not that simple, you see.
You know how they say we should give our seats to those who need it more?
Yeah. That’s not that simple too.
The ‘more needy’ people are usually the pregnant women or the elderly…
So when I do get a seat and there are people crowding the train, I start to think about that lady standing near me..
Is she pregnant…or fat?
I mean, if someone got up and offered me their seat, I’d be thinking… Am I thaaat fat that I look pregnant??
Or…
Am I thaaat haggard looking that I look like an old woman in need of a seat??
Back to the lady standing near me.
If I do get up for her, she might get offended.
If I don’t, then she might be a pregnant lady cursing the Malaysian courtesy culture…
So you can see that my mind just loves to overthink these trivial matters…
Oh well. Be guilt free and stand all the way?
No thanks.
She doesn’t look that heavily pregnant anyways. She’s perfectly able to stand =P |

| Oh Braddd... |
New job!
New hairstyle!
Same ol' me :)
Haha.. Yep, I'm starting work on Monday...
Gonna be weird not having my classmates around the whole day in class, feeling sleepy and kacauing each other while waiting for the lecturer to give us a break..
Yes, that's what we do =P
And I finally went to chop off my hair!
And went shopping for "office clothes".
I'm gonna miss my t-shirts and tank tops, I tell ya.
So anyway, I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and... Wow.
Nice.
But what caught me afterwards was this...
Last time; long, long time ago..
Pre-cellphones...
Lovers torn apart by distance communicated through letters and all the postal stuff.
It'll take DAYS for your message to get through.
And their love can last for decades with just love letters!!
But now, distance is NOTHING, thanks to our life dependency... CELLPHONES.
But even so, once you don't get a reply from him/her for... Say, an hour...
It's either:
a.) he/she's outta credit
b.) his/her phone ran outta battery
c.) he/she has just been a victim of cellphone snatch theft
d.) something bad happened; eg-an accident (CHOI!)
e.) he/she's cheating on you with another person.
Lol.
How to make the 'love' last for decades like lovers in the pre-cellphone era??
I have no idea.
=P |

| Meoww... |
I went for my first ever job interview!
Yesterday!
Haha...
I was grouped with these other two ladies who hold degrees...
So... I felt like an infant.
A fetus, even.
Ohh goooosh.
And my final exam results are out!!
I'm now.. Rachel Yong, CAT!
Heheh.
Well no, I can't use CAT at the back of my name cos I've no working experience yet...
But YAY!
I've passed all my papers!
With flying colours?
Maybe.
So anyway, he and I went out on Vday...
And I was SHOCKED at the number of people holding hands and all!!
I mean...EVERYONE in the frigging mall were in love!!
It made me wonder where all the couples went on non-Valentine days.
Or where did they all suddenly appeared from for that particular day.
Roses, roses everywhere...
Restaurants with their special Vday menu for two...
La lala lala...
No sign of the economic recession at all :)
Ain't life grand?
I love you all ;) |

| Dreams don't come true...I hope. |
*tung-tungtung-chiang!!*
Merry Chinese New Year! ;)
I don't know if it's just my bad memory or if it's the weather, but I don't ever remember a rainy Chinese New Year.
The first two days of CNY are usually extra sunny and cheery!
This year it rained a little, but nahh...
That's okay.
The ang pau collecting still goes on! =D
Anyway, these past few nights have been so odd.
I've been having such weird, random dreams...
Two nights ago, I slept real late and I dreamt that the love of my life actually hated me.
I guess I was so devastated that I woke up in tears. Lol.
Then I went back to bed again and had another dream!
This one was a nice one, I'm not gonna put it out here, but it was such a sinfully nice one that I woke up again.
And decided to go back to sleep again because it was still early.
8am.
Still early ma... =P
Then I dreamt that I was a newscaster at CNN or some similar channel.
I woke up feeling sooooo inspired that I wanted to go watch the news and consider a career change!
L O L.
Yesh.
I have a very weird sub-conscious state of mind XD
AND...
Last night...
I went to bed (late as usual)...
This time I had a very long and elaborate dream...
It felt so real...
It's the present day, Kuala Lumpur.
I'm in my room when these people in uniform started rounding up everyone in my neighborhood.
They were grouped up in lines...
Apparently I knew what was happening la...
KL had fallen to the communists!!
XD
So I ran back into my room to pack my "escape bag"
I reached for my cellphone...
Cash...
Water...
Food.. I grabbed chocolate bars!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
And I don't know what else la but I remember shoving my penknife into my pocket.
Then I went out of room and met this woman.
Somehow, in the dream, she was someone I trusted.
We peeked out from the living room and saw the people outside being packed into buses.
And she told me they were being sent to labor camps.
So we hid in my room...
Til this stranger girl walked by my room and spotted us.
She demanded identification papers from us or she'd report us.
So my trusted friend and I looked at each other.
We understood what we had to do.
My trusted friend started distracting the stranger girl.
I turned around to "produce my papers".
I reached for my penknife and flicked it open.
I turned back and stabbed the stranger girl on the heart.
She gasped.
I woke up thinking "Oh no oh no oh no I KILLED SOMEBODY!!!"
Then I realised UMNO still ruled the government.
XD
That's how vivid my dreams get.
I gotta stop reading all my Communism-era romance novels... =P |

| Darlings :) |
The long-awaited beach getaway... :)
8 gorgeous girls on the beach!!
Lol. You're right, Kay, it does sound lesbian orgy porn-like...
Anyway, last December my darlingest girlfriends and I took a four hour long bus ride to Lumut..
FOUR HOURS!!
Longest bus ride ever.
Then after some half an hour of laughing in Sam's dad's friend's son's car, we finally got to check in at Swiss Garden, Damai Laut Resort...
The pretty room Kim and I shared..
Funny thing happened when Tracy walked into her room..
Some girl was in the room and she started shouting all the profanities in the book for walking in on her...
Apparently the hotel had a system error and gave us the wrong rooms..
But still. LOL. Imagine if the people in the room were in the middle of a steamy session on the bed.
Or off the bed.
XD
The beach at night.
And the beach the next morning.
Kay and I...
All of us talked so much about kayaking.. And in the end, only Kay, Tracy and Suefie got about to it.
The rest of us were just too content sunbathing.
The beautiful Kim..
Lovers, sisters, and lazy asses bumming on the beach chair =D
And I absolutely adore you lot to death :)
Right before leaving the place, we walked around the place again and this time, we found an even nicer beach on the other side of the resort!!
*look where Kay's hand is!!*
Scandalous, mann...
Bye, beach!
Kim's babies..
She "rescued" whatever was left =P
Seokie's babies too.
Do we look asleep?? Lol.
The bus ride was four freakin hours long mannn...
Had to fidget with the camera a bit la, of course..
Okay, Sam was really asleep.
Now we know how she sleeps...
=P Damn cute la wei... |

| DIY, baby!! |
Imagine Ikea selling DIY cars!!
Heheheh...
JY, WH and I got so bored at one point in class when we were supposed to attempt a question on luxury cars and family cars...
We were supposed to find ideas on which type of product pricing to use on luxury cars when we started thinking about the fun-ness that was assembling your very own car!
So imagine IKEA not only selling furniture, but also engines and steering wheels and wheels!!
=D
Lol!
Then you get to fit plushy, comfy sofas in the car...(and the bean bag!!)
The WHOLE 99-horsepower air-conditioner in the car...
Pretty, colourful carpeting for the interior...
Kitchen cabinets for better utilisation of space in the car...
Installing a nice night light (in case you got kicked outta the house and have to live in the car)...
Yeah.
THE IDEA HAS BEEN COPYRIGHTED OKAY!!!
(I don't know how to get the copyrighted symbol on Blogger..)
Peace =D
Oh and next week..
I am going for (kind of) a job interview!
:)
Kind of, because it's more like an interview to be selected for an interview...
Wish me luck, sweeties! =P
*sings Britney's*
Gimme, gimme.. Gimme.. |

| Excuse my language, but... |
When I go out, I sometimes get unkind remarks from some people.
They say it out to their friends or whoevers there, thinking I can't hear them..
Well, that's kinda true, I can't hear them because I think I'm almost half deaf.
HOWEVER, I do have a boyfriend who has excellent hearing.. XD
Lol.
So I was having dinner at a mall, with Alex sitting across the table...
And halfway through the wait for the food to arrive, he told me he heard something from the other table behind me.. (I think there were a bunch of girls there)
He said they said something about "Look at that bitch".
I admit I do wear clothes that show a lotta cleavage =P And at a table, I do lean forward to talk to him...
But I doubt that constituted the cheapshot name-calling.
I mean, if they were sooooo holier-than-thou about the cleavage showing, then they would be tooooo holier-than-thou to name-call explicitly.
Iiiiiiiii think, it had to do with HIM (Alex). =P (Yes, I'm blaming you =P hehe)
I mean, he's so rojak... Half Chinese, half English, a dash of this, a dash of that...
My point is, he just doesn't look local.
As in, local Malaysian guy la...
So apparently, he is considered a guai lo.
Ang moh.
Mat salleh.
Whatever you wanna call it.
SO!! Thaaat would make me look like one of the sarong party girls!
What's a sarong party girl? It describes a local Asian woman referring to solely oriental (e.g., Chinese and Malay girls) who usually dresses and behaves in a provocative manner, and who exclusively dates and prefers white men.
Pfffffft.
Sorry, I tak suke much.
I think there are no girls like Malaysian girls and there are no men like Malaysian men.
I love Malaysian men ;)
Haha.. Don't ask me why...
Now, back to my point.
My 'conclusion' to why those girls called me a bitch was because of my ang moh-looking boyfriend.
XD
LOL.
Another time something like this happened was when I was in a shop in another mall..
Again, I was with my gifted-with-super-hearing-ability boyfriend..
After paying at the counter, we walked out and he told me, "That cashier just called you a perempuan gatal"
I laughed.
It saddened me to know that so many women have this innate need to prejudge a person and voice it out for the next person to hear.
Well okay, men do it too... (but I don't think I've met any of them who do).
So women do it, men do it.. Everybody does it... YOU do it too! =P
I do admit I do sometimes think not-so-nicely of someone I don't know.. But the difference is, I keep it to myself...
Now, back to the cashier. This Malay or Indon woman who called me a perempuan gatal.
Well yeah, my man and I share lil pecks and kisses every now and then..
But since the mulut besar cashier decided to share her opinions...
Oi.
Never see people hold hands before ah?
Never see people kiss before ah?
Never watched movies where you wished you were the girl the movie hero was making out with ah?
Wah-lauuu...
Dare to call me gatal when you yourself are in skin-tight clothes like an over-stuffed popiah wishing desperately to be noticed behind the counter???
Psh.
To the two women...
I forgive you..you b****es.

| ROOOOOOM SERRRRVICEEEE!!!! |
Classes have, once again, commenced very shortly after the holidays supposedly started...
I had just enough time to convince myself to forget about the woe that was my exams in early December and barely little time to spend my New Year's Eve with my girlfriends on the beach...
We holiday-ed at Damai Laut, Perak... Somewhere very near Pangkor Island apparently, but we never went to the island... Too lazy to get our bums to the jetty to ferry ourselves there.. Heheh..
So we spent three days on the resort ( a very ulu and secluded pedalaman area off Lumut), getting sunburnt (no matter how many bottles of SPF150000 we coated ourselves with), dining on hotel food and whatever snacks we brought that we could pass off as meals... And drinking ourselves red and high...
Yes, we might just as well have had our 'beach holiday' in a hotel in KL..
We could still call for room service, dine on hotel food, instant noodles, instant mash potatoes, bacon bits, tortillas and dips and drink ourselves silly annnnnd still get sunburnt.
But walking around KL in bikinis and sarongs would've been weird..
Wouldn't it?
Anyway... Happy New Year, y'all :) |
