New Domain

January 23, 2009 · 1 Comment

WordPress limits a lot of plugins, evidenced by the ugly Twitter box on the right side of my page. It’s supposed to be a nice box with colours okay hmph. Now it’s all text because they firewall a lot of things.

HENCE imma get my own domain woohoooo.

These few days I’m going to go full force on Nick’s test domain created for me so I can test out every single shit that I want to have nicely on my blog weeeeeeee. (Thanks Nick You’re the BEST!)

I’ll let you know how it goes but in the meantime, I’ll continue to upload my photos and you continue to check my twitter updates la okay I update them super often I guess. (and yet I laugh at people who updates their status on FB) BUT this is totally different okay *in defence wtf.

Oh ANYWAY I logged in FB for the 2nd time yesterday. And I still don’t know what to do inside FB. So what do you guys do inside FB actually?? Enlighten me please.

Birthday Celebration – KL

January 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I know I said imma sit down and upload all the photos but I did not. Not a surprise hurhurhur. At least I finished all 15 papers! *beaming in pride. but with lots and lots of help from Candy though. Can’t imagine if I have to write from scratch I might die!

Okay these are another set from my birthday celebration with the family. YES the Family! I don’t think I’ve actually really celebrated birthday with my family over these years. After I started working, I’ve celebrated almost all of it in the US. So after I flew back to Penang, I flew back down again the next day to KL.

flight

#1 Landed! I took the budget airline Air Asia, which was never on time.

Step surprised me at the airport with red roses, which we used as a “tool” to brighten up all my photos haha, and a whole box of cherries dont know from where, and cupcakes! How thoughtful.

I didn’t sleep the night before coz we stayed up playing mahjong remember? and I looked like a piece of shit and I didn’t have time to bathe and freshen up and change before I cut the cake and take all the photosssss.

My sister booked a hotel room in Hilton and Martin actually bought a cake for me as a SURPRISE but it wasn’t that of a surprise after Candy told me secretly that Martin bought a cake. HAHA what a spoiler she can never keep things to herself hahaha

cake

#2 Isn’t it pretttttttty?? It’s like the most amazing cake I’ve had. No of course I know it’s a Christmas cake but it’s bought as my brithday cake so that makes it my BIRTHDAY cake! It’s a change from all my other cakes. I wanted SPECIAL cakes. This is special cake =D

cake2

#3 Can you see the top. It’s so delicately beautifully decorated with the small ornaments and stuff. I really didn’t want to cut and eat the cake =(

me

#4 The flowers are nice. Minus the bear okay I hate bears haha. *cough Jes *cough would like it but not me. The hilton room is pretty okay too but it looks really dorky from the outside.

picture-185

#5 Me with the cake + flowers. Told u the flowers are there to brighten up the photos. It did, right? Which is why you can see it in every photo haha.

picture-189

#6 Me with the coolest dad and mum in the whole world. Parents who kept taking photos from every possible angle to make sure I look good in the photos. But I just simply chose 1 of it to upload I didn’t even bother to choose the best hurhurhur

picture-190

#7 Pauline & Martin, who bought the fabulous cake. And who booked the room.

picture-192

#8 And this is the one who spoiled my surprise -_-” Who SECRETLY told me that Martin SECRETLY bought me a cake.

picture-193

#9 Mum insisted the previous photo sucks so she insisted to take it again with proper lighting and angle of which I seriously think there’s no difference la!

picture-195

#10 Cake cutting again !! More wishes!!!

picture-200

#11 See? Snowmans!  A nice little cottage with chimney! Christmas tree! Snow!!!

More photos up in the next post coz I’m very sleepy =(

Haha damn potong steam right I sounded so excited over the cake then suddenly I just end it abruptly and say I need to go to sleep haha. I didn’t have enough sleep coz I’ve been rushing papers and once I handed them in I spent the whole day hanging OUT and ABOUT and I barely have time to sit at home /boo

So bye. Wait for next post <3

I’m running out of brain juice! Seriously!!! I’ve been writing and typing and writing and thinking and writing and thinking for god knows how long! I need inspiration. I need concentration. I need everything I can get.

img_0323

You know I’m so busy that I try not to waste time even for toilet visits. So I’d (1) try to drink less water (2) try to tahan when I have the urge to pee. I’d only run to the toilet when I seriously cannot tahan like my bladder gonna explode that kind la you know what I mean.

So today I had this painful stingy feeling in my stomach almost like I have a diarrhea since morning. But I tried to ignore it and try to not think about it and convince myself that it’s illusion wtf. After enduring the pain for 1 whole day I decided to take a 1 minute break so I ran to the toilet. Upon opening the toilet door, the pain went away. YES I cannot feel anything! Nothing! No pain! Nothing!!! But anyhow I’m already in the toilet so I decided to just try la but NOTHING comes out! good lord do you know how pissed I am. So i walked back to my desk and the second I sit down and wanted to start typing, the pain comes back, and is 100 times worse than before.

Sometimes, life’s really a bitch, you know?

Bday Celebration- Penang

January 4, 2009 · 5 Comments

I just got off the plane..again. Luckily SIA treats me nicely so my journey is still bearable. My mind is blocked right now I can’t think of anything to write so I just dig out this birthday post I wrote many weeks ago heh..

**********

I purposely flew back to Penang to celebrate birthday with my bunch of best friends back there because I love them like that.

We couldn’t celebrate on Dec 19th itself because I have to fly away again so we planned it on Dec 18th instead. I decided on the place – Little Cottage in Waterfall Resort. Not too fancy not too expensive nice environment so everyone doesn’t have to spend a fortune on just a birthday dinner. You can easily get a full dinner course with soup and bread as appetizer, main course, dessert, coffee/tea at an affordable price of not more than RM35. Of course, with a price like that, don’t put too high expectation on the food quality though heheh.

It was a rush trip back but I enjoyed every bit of it nonetheless.

You can click on the photos for the full photo size. Joe is my photographer of the day and his DSLR is so good that you can see every single pimple on your face wtf and because i’m always makeupless so it’s worse for me la wtf

joan-birthday-celebration1

#1 The quaint nice little cafe provides warm environment decorated with christmas trees and lightings and little christmas pressies everywhere.

joan-birthday-celebration-005

#2 Who else but my boy toy Kevin. He organized the whole “surprise” birthday dinner. LOL it’s not that surprise anymore for me because others have already come and told me about it haha Kevin asked if I could close down my antenna for one day because he say my antenna is so high that I know about almost everything anyone could possibly know.

joan-birthday-celebration-014

#3  My baked fish. Last year in Alexandar’s, I had Sea Bass. Every birthday, I eat fish. But of course this baked fish is no where near the Sea Bass I had because that sea bass is like super good la I think.

joan-birthday-celebration-016

#4 YYY, FatBoySlim and Ah Beng Kevin with FatBoySlim’s Lobster. haha It’s only in Little Cottage that he can order Lobster coz it’s only like RM50.

joan-birthday-celebration-0181

#5 My Soup of the Day in Bread haha I couldn’t understand a thing the waiter is trying to tell me but it sounds like I can choose to upgrade and put my soup in a bread for free or just have them in bowl. But I think I listen wrongly cause we’re charged for the bread wtf

joan-birthday-celebration-022

#6 Junn ordered this hot plate something that has so much smoke almsot like there’s a fire. The smell made all of us smell like shit coz it’s air conditioned so we all blame him haha.

joan-birthday-celebration-026

#7 Joe the very happy DSLR owner.

joan-birthday-celebration-030

#8 Close up of Ah Beng. Really salute good camera coz for the first time it makes his photo less shitty wtf haha

joan-birthday-celebration-033

#9 Me, Myself and I. Because it’s my birthday you’re going to see a lot of my photos and you can’t complain. It’s MY BIRTHDAY WTF

joan-birthday-celebration-036

#10 The photo quality is so good my god do you know how dark is it in the cafe but the photo came out as if we’re outdoors wtf

joan-birthday-celebration-038

#11 YEAY Birthday Cake is here!!! They were playing the birthday song in the cafe out loud and they were all singing YEAY Birthday!!!

joan-birthday-celebration-041

#12 Kevin say he wanted to buy something special so he got me a MANGO CAKE -_-” and Felix doesn’t eat Mango -_-” but I appreciate the effort though maybe next year he can make a wiser birthday cake choice for me. I specifically told Kevin I want CANDLES on my cake because I want to make birthday wish ahahaha wtf

joan-birthday-celebration-043

#13 Because I’m like a kid like that. Because I still believe in birthday wishes coming true simply because it’s a birthday wish wtf. Remember my birthday wish last year. I can’t tell you what my wish is this year because I don’t want to jinx it but please god please let it come true for once!!!!

joan-birthday-celebration-045

#14 Simply cut cake just for photo purposes. I suck at cutting cake and it’s always Pey’s job because she always manage to distribute them evenly. She’s a pro cake cutter wtf.

joan-birthday-celebration-047

#15 Everyone! I love you all <3

joan-birthday-celebration-0481

#16 Aiya how can we forget the very important photographer haha (Click on the photo to see our bigger faces la so small how to see)

joan-birthday-celebration-050

#17 Pey and Junn posing with my brithday cake. Every year my birthday everyone pose with my cake and it gets so confusing if u see the photo coz u won’t know whose birthday it actually is haha

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENNED LAST YEAR. Last year we celebrated even earlier almost 1 week earlier because I’m also flying to US at that time.

joan_birthday_20071212_0144

#18 LAST YEAR. This you’d think it’s Pey’s birthday. OMG Junn’s haircut still so ah pek hahahaha

joan_birthday_20071212_0149

#19 LAST YEAR. THis one you’d think it’s Kevin’s birthday. This one still got SIM. Sim where are you this year??!! =( and ChingSiang! Oh and last year no VSoon coz he’s still Tung Sing group not Hung Hing hahaha wtf

joan_birthday_20071212_0158

#20. LAST YEAR. This one you’d think it’s HuiYien’s birthday. But actually all HuiYien, Jes and Kevin have to each take out my candle using their mouth for me ahahaha. That’s why I tell you, being the birthday girl, you can make all sorts of requests and they’ll be granted wtf haha

joan_birthday_20071212_0161

#21 LAST YEAR. Last year I get a birthday lap dance from Kevin. THIS YEAR WHERE IS MY POLE DANCE LAP DANCE HUH KEVIN HUH WHERE!!!!! Wait till I go to Penang again then you’ll die wtf

Okay enough of last year recap. Let’s get back to this year.

joan-birthday-celebration-051

#22 -_-” They’re STILL posing with my birthday cake. -_-” But this year everyone’s nicely dressed up all groomed and pretty compared to last year in T Shirt and Jeans and slamming Kevin’s face into my cake and pole dancing like ahbeng ahlian like that wtf

joan-birthday-celebration-052

#23 OHai Iz Me Again!!! Say Happy Birthday to me NOW!

joan-birthday-celebration-053

#24 My very “special” MANGO cake. Pity Felix can’t have a share of the cake which is NOT GOOD because everyone is supposed to have a bite and finish the cake then only it means GOOD LUCK to the birthday girl. It’s TRUE! So if my luck isn’t good this year then blame it on Felix. Oh wait maybe blame it on Kevin coz he’s the one who bought the cake.

joan-birthday-celebration-056

#25 OHai Iz Me AGAINNNNN. I look very happy because obviously I AM HAPPY LAH! What’s not to be happy about being with a bunch of my closest friend celebrating my birthday at a very nice place?

joan-birthday-celebration-057

#26 And OF COURSE obligatory photo with my 2 best girl friends <3 missing Shu who’s enjoying snow now wtf Lucky me Jes is back coz I haven’t seen her in AGESSSSS and I’m glad she’s there all pretty and thin and looking fabulous!

joan-birthday-celebration-059

#27 Knowing I haven’t taken any photo with Jeebs before, I purposely looked for him during Hollywood Night but he busy kao lui so end up we didn’t take any together. So now I force him to take with me. But why got YYY sesat behind in the photo hmph

joan-birthday-celebration-060

#28 The Boys. I’m glad Felix and Jeebs came because they’re both wonderful people I’ve gotten closer with.

joan-birthday-celebration-062

#29 Everyone <3 Missing Sim and ChingSiang and Shu and ChongLee and Joel.

joan-birthday-celebration-063

#30 Don’t ask me what we’re doing. We are all pariah people doing pariah things.

joan-birthday-celebration-065

#31 YYY and VSoon. My favourite mahjong kaki wtf.

joan-birthday-celebration-066

#32 HAPPY.

joan-birthday-celebration-072

#33 After dinner we went to FatBoySlim’s place so they could accompany me to countdown to my birthday. FatBoySlim went back to his office and get his laptop so we had to wait outside his house for almost 20 minutes. And what is there to do besides camwhoring? WARNING: Never take photo from up down coz you’ll look like you have a giant head but a dwarf’s body like me now wtf /boo

joan-birthday-celebration-073

#34 Ah Finally I have the chance to take one with Joe. He ah, we only get to see him during birthdays or dept dinners. Else always hide at home and become anti social cis.

joan-birthday-celebration-076

#35 Obviously getting tired of waiting for FatBoySlim.

joan-birthday-celebration-077

#36 But VSoon still look very happy waiting. Wah this photo very lengzai lar.

joan-birthday-celebration-080

#37 Prettayyyyyy phewittttt

End up we played mahjong until almost 2 I think. Stopping half way in the middle to eat supper. I had a super good luck that night I can even get “tin wu”. “tin wu” is u won straight after u get your tiles even without having to play anything =D

I’m elated and contented and blessed because I have friends I love to celebrate with me and countdown the night with me <3. It’s a change from last year’s quiet romantic expensive dinner.

birthday2

But both last and this year’s celebration is equally good because both I get to spend with people I adored. Now, I have to wait for another 364 days to be that special girl of the night again, but it’s all worth the wait.
