Our 'Shopaholic' nite :)

Crab orgy @ Kepong

Presents!! :D

Chinyee's debut!

Movie Nite on me birthday :)

I Feel =)

Met up AGAIN with the Tiga Kuntum Bunga Genting Klang tonight and went crazy at the pasar malam. It's soooo hard to keep track of what you spend on food there and before you know it, boom 40 bucks gone. We were really full and happy little pigs though. Drool :D

Aaaandd... I'm so relieved cuz I've finished all my public speaking assignments. I did my last two speeches on same sex marriage and film censorship and I'm soo proud of myself bwahahaha. And if I did not heard wrongly, I think Mr K even said 'good' when I finished ahhhh :) He might be saying something else entirely though. Maybe I misheard. Maybe he said 'wood' or 'pooed' or something who knows hehe.

Bitches I'm Not Dead!

I just have a really, really active social life that I can't be bothered to blog. Shoot me. I'm not showing off but even since before my birthday, I've been going out like 4, 5 nights a week. The rest of the time is spent doing assignments which I have so much of this semester but that's okay cuz I don't have final exams. Just like today, it's Tuesday but still we went out. Same as on Monday. And Sunday. Not to mention Saturday... and Friday. Oh the joys of being young :)

I know that this blog has been very photo-empty recently and call me lazy, but in this age of photo-tagging, what's the point of uploading photos by yourself anymore? Just wait for your pics to show up on your page after someone adds it woot!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had the mostest amazingest weekend for my 20th!

Ribuan, jutaan terima kasih diucapkan kepada Alvin, Cherry, Chin Yee, Cyntia, Halix, How Yee, Irene, Mei Chan, Naomi, Rong, Sabina for a delightful birthday! MUAKSES ;p

UPDATE: Thanks a million also to Justina, Joey, Pauline, Sean, and Seline! Any more surprises and I think I can start buying meds for my poor heart haha :D

I WANT ALL MY BIRTHDAY PHOTOS PLEASEANDTHANKYOU :D:D:D

Where My Teddy Bears, Ice Cream and Cocks?

I wrote a load of emo-depressed crap during the past two weeks and I was about to post it when I lost my Internet connection and also, Dan asked me when am I going to snap out of it. So I did. And I'm happy again now. Mainly because

a) I can take pictures and cut ringtones again and act like a GG girl :)
b) I had a rocking birthday weekend! Woot :D
c) I realized that making someone else happy can make you happy too.

And talking about GG, it's sad how some people actually think they really are characters on the show hehe ;)

But Now I'm Thinking...

Why can't you let me get out of this with my happy memories of us intact and untouched?

Do you want to ruin everything that was good about you and about us for me?

I have a broken heart to mend too.
At the same time, I want something to hold on to, to look back many years from now and say

Yes there was this time in my life I was in love and happy

I thought I would be able to move on without whatever love and respect I had for you turning into hate and disgust.

I think you are slowly proving me wrong.

A While Back I Keep Telling Myself...

The star that burns the brightest burns out the fastest.

and...

It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved before

With these two things in mind, I tried to console myself, to do my bestest not to feel sad over what happened or could have happened and instead tried to appreciate the happy moments I've had.

Numb

Photography class today and as usual, he did not teach at all. Just talked about himself, told stories about fried rice and ketchup and boys and girls and reminded us how pathetic we are. Absolutely lovely. I think I fared better this week because no one threw my pictures into the 'bad' pile. Hee hee. But looking back at this pictures, I'm like, I spent one whole day taking these?? Eeeeesh.

This was the picture that quite a few people said they liked until he told them they had bad taste cuz this looks like what a "grandpa with a point-and-shoot" would take. Charming.
This was the picture that is "almost there but still doesn't quite get it".
This was "you have such a unique subject but you are not telling a unique story". Bluek. I liked this most hahaha.
And this he did not say anything.

Noticed how for every single picture he only gives cryptic and vague comments and nothing useful or helpful at all? He doesn't tell us what's good or what's bad or how to improve our pictures or how we should take them, the techniques we should use blah blah blah. Grrrhhh.

After class I was dying to go shopping and also meet someone. I have been practicing shopping abstinence for more than a month and it feels sooo good to finally buy something woohoo. Even the heavy rain couldn't hold me back from the sales hahaha. Feels like I'm betraying Kenji though =(

Things were going so well that I didn't even know what hit me when it all went wrong so much so fast. Still in a state of shock now. It is raining heavily as I type this and it seems so fitting. Why not let the skies do the crying for me? Am sick of shedding tears.

Selamat Pagi, Cikgu!

This semester, not only are we having kiddie classes; we are being treated (and scolded) like kids too. Today after our primary school writing class, Miss L took the attendance and then called out,

"Justina, Jeffrey, Seline, can I see you after this class?"

Immediately I knew why she wanted to see us. From my very first year at school until I finish Form 5, the teachers have been saying the exact same thing at every parent-teacher meeting.

"Anak awak ni, tak pernah henti bercakap..."

And my parents always ask them back whether or not I managed to concentrate in class, understand them or finish all my work even though I talk A LOT. And they'd have nothing else to say because I did. It's not like I talked back at teachers or scream profanities all day long. The same thing happened today.

"Do you know why I asked you to see me?"
We shake our heads and bat our eyelashes even though we do, because hello, we are innocent okay?
"I think you do. The whole time I was teaching, the whole class could hear 3 of you talking at the back. Please don't do this again. See you Monday"
Hellooooo got exaggerate or not ah?!? I thought I liked to sensationalize by 200% but the whole class could hear us? Gila kah?

If she asked me to repeat what she taught during the class I could have easily done it. Is it a crime if I could both pay attention to her and talk about LV bags at the same time? It's not like she needed my undivided attention. Like, the boys are playing at the playground or the boys is playing at the playground? Excuse me, not to be an arrogant twat but that's what I teach to the Year 2 kids when my dad asks me to help with his tuition classes kay.

Anyways, after class today we formed our own little photography club with matching shirts and headed to KL to take pictures of historical/cultural/monumental buildings for class.

In order to learn more about our cameras, we spent hours upon hours camwhoring.

Seline brought a tripod because Mr. T said we need one to take stable pictures. We used it to take group pictures.

The night before when we were planning our little photography trip, we dengan selambanya suggested that we go to as many places as possible. Probably around 4, 5 or more if we have time. HAH! What a joke. Before we even finished at the first spot we were already complaining about the heat/rain/exhaustion/difficulties of photography LOL. So we just tried to do it all as quick as possible and then head home. Well, they headed home. I went somewhere else. The rain killed the mood a bit in the beginning but as usual it was a happy night all in all.

Happy, goofy people.

Because we should always end with dessert,

and because I'm feeling sweet as chocolate mousse,

and because I want to give Alexis free publicity,

and because I imagine my photography skills to have improved by 1.7%,

and because I fancy myself a famous food photographer,

I present you this parting shot. Bwahahaha.

Celebrations! =)

Thanks to a new routine in my life, I've spent many, many weekends away from GK :D Finally, I spent the last weekend there and managed to grab some pics for the last few outings from HY. Pictures at last! Can I still call myself a camwhore now that I don't even have the simplest camera to take pikchahs? God knows how many beautiful moments - i.e. picnics - I've missed just because of that stupid Motorola dying.

Anyways, I'll just fill this post with all the pictures that almost everyone else has posted; pictures of all the gatherings and celebrations for the whole of February. OMG FUCK ME I just realized I don't even have the pictures from X'mas and New Year's and anything January yet!!! AHHH!

Wellllll, anyways.... The pics from the OHF CNY reunion dinner at the Gardens. I don't have a lot cuz most of the photos are scattered here and there on everyone else's cameras.

The next day we went to Melaka to surprise the bestest, most lovingest, big(gest) sister in the world for her 21st. Been planning it for a while with her boyfriend. It was the first time Cyntia's car made such a long trip and the first time we drove long distance. Wooot we are soooo grown up, people! We found our way there, found Jacq's house and even found the nearest Jusco to get her cake, all on our own! Lalalala~~~

Trying to kill off 2 hours while Jacq was at a dinner.

Her birthday slices. Because there weren't any proper cake shops in Melaka we had to get these from SR. We let ourselves in, turn off all lights, lit up the whole house and hid in her room. We can hear her all surprised even from inside. When she saw us...

Ta-dah! Crying to no end.

For the 2nd night in her 3-night birthday celebration weekend, we went to Pure and partied like sluts. Pikchahs still in her cam. Not that they were pretty; I was all red and wasted-ish.

Chicken rice balls! Oh how I miss you! I'm putting this picture here because I'm really hungry right now.

We didn't even stay there for 24 hours before we had to get back. Going back was much faster; we took only like half the time we took to get there. The extra time we had left was spent getting lost. We took the wrong exit and ended up in Sri Petaling. Which means we could do some last minute CNY visiting to Momma's house!

Momma's very own home-made choco muffins. Very in demand, according to her. Seems like everyone is into baking and making things in the kitchen nowadays. Jacq made the most delicious cheesecakes!

And this is the true purpose of our visit. No, not an autograph. To get Momma to draw us a map with directions back home. Thanks!

The 12th was OHF dai ga jie punya 21st. There wasn't a super happening celebration or anything. Just a quiet (for us) dinner at a very grown up restaurant where we chatted about our goals, our plans for families, our career advancement, culture, politics, wine, the economy... BWAHAHA.

I know it's Irene's birthday but the rest of the pics from other people are on Facebook please. These are just the pictures of us hiding in the toilet to gossip, bitch and camwhore.

And then on the 14th... Hmm, the 14th. What happened on the 14th? I couldn't really remember. My memory must have been impaired because I spent too long floating on clouds that day.

Preparations the night before. LOL.

Early in the evening.

And dinner at the Apartment. The last time I was there, it was rather sucky. That night, it was beautiful; the food, the ambience, the service, the performance and most importantly, the company :) Everything just seemed extra beautiful that night.
