Long Winded Very Personal Post

December 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

After so many wordless posts, today I feel like giving u a full long wordy entry. I have so much to say. If you’re not up for it then you can close your browser and go away now wtf. But if you didn’t read this you’d regret it trust me wtf.

DID I TELL YOU I’M GOING TO SEE SUGAH CANDY IN LESS THAN72 HOURS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~***~~

Okay anyway I’m just done with a major spring cleaning and I’m exhausted. The skin on my hand is starting to peel because the detergent is so strong and I couldn’t find any gloves so what the heck. The last time I actually cleaned and scrubbed a whole house is already back in February when my friend came to stay over. Truth is, I’m a really clean person. My room and bathroom are always spotless so all I have to clean is the living room and the kitchen. My sister is another clean freak. She couldn’t even stand a little bit of hair lying around haih wtf and she irons her clothes every morning before she leaves the house. Me? I just put my crumpled dress on the bed and keep flattening it with my bare hands WTF Or if the dress is really really really wrinkled then i’d wear it on and then pull the end of the skirt up on the ironing board and just iron the hemline because with a straight hemline it’ll give an impression that the dress is ironed =D trust me it really works.

Oops. where was I.

Yah spring cleaning. So my other friend is coming to stay over my place now and the least I could do is to make sure the place is clean.

Someone told me I’m a very hard to please girl. Well, not only someone, is actually quite a handful of people who told me that. Really? Seriously? You really think I’m so hard to please?  If you give me 1 dollar worth of keropok lekor then you’re my best friend already wtf. I guess people said that because I’m sort of materialistic. Like if you give me expensive stuff than I’d be very happy wtf.  If you throw me a Chanel bag i’d hug you. haha vain wtf.

All this while I thought I’m a very smart person. Straight A student. Apparently not. This year I went through a couple of papers. And they suck to the max. Is it because I got out of school too long time ago hence my brain literally stopped working or I’m jusst not as smart as I think I am? To start with, I didn’t think my English is THAT bad. Like seriously. But I proved myself wrong. My infamous “today morning” haih. If you can’t tell what’s wrong with that, then your English is probably as bad as mine because the correct one should be “This Morning”. When I first said it, my sister laughed at me. Even after she laughed at me, I still didn’t know what’s wrong. In my defense, she’s always bullying me for nothing anyway. I guess I have to blame it on my English teacher Mr Quek haih wtf must be he taught me something wrong lah!

And can you tell that I’m the queen of procrastination? I actually have a lot of assignments to do but I haven’t started on anything my god seriously can someone please just give me one big slap so I’d go back to work and get everything done so I can have a peaceful Christmas?

Speaking of Christmas, the other day I went window shopping and nearly lugged home a 60 inch huge Christmas Tree. You know. like the real BIG HUGE ASS Christmas Tree that I can decorate with all sorts of bells and lights and an angel on the top of the tree so I could check under the tree every morning after I wake up for surprise Christmas presents that the Santa Clause drop off for me from the chimney. But then luckily sanity get the better of me and after thinking that I’d probably have to spend few hundred dollars on an useless tree. I walked away. Phew…

You know the amount of people around me who recently broke up? Sometimes it really pains me to see them suffering and abusing themselves. Sigh. We fight we break up we kiss we make up WTF. I’ve talked to them up to a point where I started to talk in a harsh manner more like scolding wtf because if scolding them would make them wake up and face the truth then I’d do that even if it means they’d hate me you know what I mean. When people are sad they just don’t care, they want you to be sad with them and when you scold them, they go all “aiya why u like that so inconsiderate. put yourselves in my shoes and u won’t say this” okay this? Put myself in your shoes? I have my own shoes okay. You think I’ve never gone through all of that like seriously? Have you any idea what I used to have to put up with up until the point that I get blocked from all possible communication routes and then dumped? So trust me when I say I know how it feels.

But out of the million things that you can admire me on..WTF, this is one of it, that I get out of relationship very steadily. When the first time it happens, I felt like it’s the end of the world. I couldn’t eat for almost a month, surviving on cookies and Milo that my friend make for me. Jes would remember what a useless piece of shit I was. I couldn’t remember how I got out of it. The next few time it happens, I’m okay. I didn’t know if i got used to it or something but I guess I just lost hope in people in general so I have no expectation whatsoever hence no disappointment. The last time it happened, I cried for 5 hours straight. Grace would remember that heh. Then I’m up and okay again the next day. I guess I learn to look at the bright side of things esp on a relationship. I wanted to live better after a relationship, be it for myself or for the lost significant other. I will never ever again be the girl who begs to get back together like how I did the first time. I realized that when things SHOULD happen, they WILL happen. So please, live better okay?

The other day I was chatting with Hwa on compromising. We were talking about having someone who love you more than you love him is better . Because then I wouldn’t have to spend every minute trying to please him.  I hate it when that happens. I channel all my energy pleasing that someone and then end up being someone even I myself hate. Like I would buy like 10 birthday presents for the person until I finally decided the best present to actually send out, and then threw the other 9 away. Isn’t that pathetic to start with? Or you think I’m so romantic so attentive?

Next week is Kek’s wedding. I’m so excited because I haven’t seen the girls in AGES like seriously AGES like don’t know how many YEARS okay. I didn’t have a chance to because every CNY they gathered on the 2nd day but that’s the day that I’m supposed to go over to my grandma’s so that’s why I always miss out haih I haven’t really gotten a white dress yet because Kek wanted everyone to wear white as the bridesmaid. I digged out all my dresses apparently I have sky blue dark blue black purple yellow lime green duck shit green also got wtf EXCEPT white. Okay actually I found 1 white one maybe I’ll wear just that.

Next week is also my birthday *ehem* =D Can you believe how fast the year flew by. Only last year I’m in Santa Clara and celebrated my birthday alone in Applebee’s in a 6 person table haih wtf I don’t know why the waitress put me ALONE sitting in a 6 person table and everywhere around me, people are all seated in gangs WTF I felt so left out and lonely but I didn’t care because it’s MY birthday and I ordered Oreo blended, Babyback Ribs and Mushroom soup. The waitress asked me if I’m sure with my order because they’re kind of huge and I answered sombongly No Problem I can Finish it but end up I left 3 quarter of my babybackribs and untouched mushroom soup on the table but I fninished my Oreo blended YUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. haih. I didn’t tell them it’s my birthday just in case they bring me a slice of cake and sing me birthday song when I’m sitting ALONE in a 6 PERSON table with the whole restaurant staring at me WTF can u imagine that??! On the real US birthday day (wtf I celebrated once Msian time and once US time wtf so kiasu) I went fine dining at Alexander’s Steakhouse in Cupertino with my then significant other. Eh that’s my first fine dining in US okay don play play wtf but of course I made a fool of myself tons of times hopefully nobody realize..haha I think nobody realize lar but I’ll blog about that maybe later in another entry coz it deserves a whole entry to itself so you can laugh at me wtf because I’m such a dork WTF!!!

Seriously When I think of all the stupid things I did that day in Alexander’s I’m laughing to myself right now YOU CAN NEVER IMAGINE WHAT A KAMPUNG GIRL I AM YA ALLAH AHAHAHAHA MALUNYA AHAHAHA

KooZA

March 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

if you haven’t heard of Cirque Du Soleil, then where have you been? living in the cave all this while wtf

cirque.jpg

i think i first got to know Cirque way before when i watch CSI because one of the episodes were showing the crime scene in Cirque lol wtf

and then when i go to Vegas there’re so many advertisements around every hotels, KA at MGM Grand, ‘O’ at Bellagio, Mystere at Treasure Island, Zumanity at NewYork NewYork. these are the only shows that i know.

i kept requesting for the guys to go for KA when we were in Vegas but they weren’t very enthusiastic about the idea either because they haven’t heard of Cirque or they think it’s too expensive wtf and i was SO DISAPPOINTED

so when i was invited to the Kooza show in SF, i was thrilled, excited, euphoric, exuberant, excited. did i say excited already wtf i was beaming from ear to ear and it’s dream come true better than sex what do you know wtf

kooza.jpg

kooza2.jpg

KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning.”

our tickets!

tickets.jpg

we didn’t take any photos at all *sob sob so all the photos below are from Cirque website. trust me i was there!!!

Contortion. where 2 girls actually danced in unison and their bodies are like rubber. you wouldn’t be able to believe some of their movements wtf its like their body are not attached to their head and their hands legs are not attached to their body.

acts_contorsion.jpg

Solo Trapeze. this girl is the only member from the whole Cirque community who graduated high school.

solo-trapeze.jpg

Unicycle Duo. not very interested but they do fine. it’s all about balance baby!

unicycle-duo.jpg

Juggling. the very classic circus act, only that this one is like a gazillion times better like he can throw anything up and catch whatever shit that comes down so quick that my eyes and brain can’t catch up. and the lady beside him does nothing except coming out once in a while dancing and pass him more stuff like that keh leh feh hurhur

acts_jongleur.jpg

Highwire. 3 of them cycled from left to right then right to left with like a long bamboo stick and the 3rd guy is like balancing on top of the other 2. amazing wtf

acts_fildefer.jpg

these are the few that i remember very clearly. there’re a couple of acts more and there’re a lot of comical acts and singings and dancings.

i had my hands clasped so tightly the entire show because every act was so heart pounding! you would be so scared that they fall because some of them don’t have the safety wires tied to them like that wtf and omg the huge sigh of relief everytime an act is done successfully pheww

i forgot how long the show is but there were intervals in between which is quite long and we had to play domino.

i wanted to buy some souveniers and goodies from the store after the show but i totally forgot about it because someone kept complaining and complaining and complaining that “Wheel Of Death” is cancelled boo WOD oh WOD it’s a pity we didn’t see you because we heard you’re supposed to be the best okay and kel actually go and ask the guy why is WOD not shown and then kept sulking when the guy said “subject to change” lol why is he so cute <3

acts_rouedelamort.jpg

REGRETS okay boo i would have bought anything at any price because i wanted to prove to people that i was there okay since i didn’t take any photo at the site wtf so sad

i can’t wait for my next Cirque show until i finish all of them or until i go bancrupt wtf

lodging – checked

January 30, 2008 · 5 Comments

in total, i’ve stayed in Santa Clara, San Francisco and Daly City in California, Chandler in Arizona, Hillsboro in Oregon and Seattle in Washington.

i only stayed in 3 different hotels and the rest were either with my sister or i crashed in friends’ places.

all in all, i think the best one is Residence Inn Marriot, then Plaza Suites. Hawthorn Suite sucks to the max.

my first hotel in Santa Clara – Plaza Suites

plaza-suites-living-room.jpg

the place is okay except they don’t have a decent kitchen and worst of all, they only provide wired broadband connection and the length of the cable barely makes it into the bedroom.

the bed is comfy though

plaza-suites-bed.jpg

and of course the mirror and the lightings so tempting that i had to camwhore like everyday wtf

plaza-suites-mirror.jpg

bathroom is not too big but it’s decent

plaza-suites-bathroom.jpg

i stayed in Mei’s place in Daly City for Christmas which is very very nice except that it’s very chilly in her apartment. but the living room is so comfy and we played wii all the time. 

i then went back to SC, checked out and stayed in Residence Inn Marriot just next to Plaza Suites. That is because KevinL said Plaza Suites sucks and he wants to go to Residence Inn so badly

residence-inn-sign.jpg

and i couldn’t agree more after i checked in. they have free wireless internet.

residence-inn-suite.jpg

the only thing i’m not comfortable with is that there’s no partition in the suite, and i could see the living room, the kitchen bar and the bathroom mirror from where i lie on the bed. creepy indeed to stay alone

the beddd

residence-inn-bed.jpg

they have full sized kitchen complete with huge ass fridge, microwave, dish washer, cooking utensils and hot chocolate powder

residence-inn-kitchen.jpg

Plaza Suites provide Bath & Body Works lotion and shampoo. Residence inn gave some cheap ass soap.

residence-inn-basin.jpg

they have a full length too!

residence-inn-full-length-mirror.jpg

bathtub is slightly bigger than Plaza Suite’s

residence-inn-toilet.jpg

the best part is waking up to a buffet breakfast everyday with cereal, milk, french toast, pancakes, waffles, toasts with all kinds of jams, fruits, chocolate milks, hot chocolates, coffee, scrambled eggs, bacons, hams, bagels, etc etc etc etc wtf

i flew to Chandler right after that and checked in to Hawthorn Suites. i hated the place the minute i open the door because it smelled like hospital wtf and the place is ancient! so old everything’s worn

hawthorn-living-room.jpg

the kitchen is old & everything looks extremely dirty

hawthorn-kitchen.jpg

the bathroom is quite big. but i hate the floor and i hate the soap because it smell like almond. rotten almond wtf.

hawthorn-bathroom.jpg

the only decent thing is the bed which i’m very happy with

hawthorn-bed.jpg

but not after i found a cockroach beside the bed. and while we hunt it down, we found a couple more lying everywhere WTF how to sleep like that you tell me?

i left after 2 nights and went to Vegas. I flew from Vegas to Hillsboro. and crashed in with a friend’s apartment in Hillsboro where i stayed for a week.

orenco.jpg

i got a free ride from the guys from Oregon to Seattle where i stayed with my sister in her apartment for a weekend. the room is small but comfortable with attached bathroom and fridge and microwave. Sorta like a suite but a mini one.

i flew back to SC from Seattle and checked in to Residence Inn again. it’s the exact suite i stayed before, except this time with a fire place.

i’ve always dreamt of having a fire place in my house during winter don’t know for what malaysia where got winter wtf imagine lying next to the fire place when it’s shivering cold so comfyyyyy but i didn’t do that because i think the suite carpet is dirty and i don’t know where to buy the logs also unless i chop off the tree outside my suite wtf

my last stop is in a friend’s place in San Francisco in Geary Blvd near to the ocean. i drove out to the ocean road just like less than 5 minutes away overlooking Golden Gate bridge.

ocean.jpg 

and Hui Lau San is less than 5 minutes down Geary, and Quickly just at the corner of the street.

which explains my body size now wtf

have u guys watched Cloverfield. i watched it in AMC couple of days ago. i’d always liked king kong or godzilla or jurassic park so i was pretty excited even though porny gave bad reviews

cloverfield.jpg

turns out it was so good. i felt like i was in the movie myself and i pee-d in my pants (nearly) cause it was so heart thumping.

there’re couple of stuff that were not very logical in the movie but heck since when does all jurassic and godzilla make sense right. stuff like how the hot chick Beth could stand up and run even though she was stabbed with an iron rod like wtf right

oh yah and i went for Hui Lau San. Jes how can u not know hui lan san it’s a dessert house famous for all the mango stuff yummy

Sleepless in Seattle

January 19, 2008 · 3 Comments

i flew to Seattle for the weekend. and it’s such a nice city. the architecture and everything is nice and the coffee shops blah blah blah it makes the whole place so romantic.

okay i considered both San Francisco and Seattle to be comparable. on 2nd thought, Seattle might be a lil bit nicer because it’s not as crowded and busy as San Francisco.

but of course things would be different if i actually stay there and work right who knows

every city has some unique icons that we need to visit. in seattle, we went to Kerry Park which overlooks Seattle city.

kerry_place.jpg

it’s a pity with such a great camera we couldn’t take a nice photo of the city. but the view is omg so awesome. but here’s a better one

kerry_park.jpg

err this is the best taken photo of me and kerry park like wtf

kerry_park_invisible.jpg

me and Shan reunited <3

kerry_park_us.jpg

the next morning we went to this dimsum place that they claimed is very good wtf only when i reach there i know what they meant very good is the girls not the food T____T

right after that we headed to Pike’s Place where we were pretty lucky to find a parking space right next to the street

me_andy_zai.jpg

i stopped by World’s First Starbucks where i bought a cup. and did you notice the logo is different why are there boobs in the logo no wonder they changed it

starbucks_sign.jpg

the small little coffee shop is packed! people singing outside and a long queue inside

starbucks_me.jpg

the girls reunited!!!!!!!

reunited2.jpg

so we took a lot a lot of photos including this one wtf not like the flowers very pretty also

pike_market.jpg

but we don’t care and continued taking photo with the seafood

pike_market_seafood.jpg

sleepless in seattle is shot here. to be honest, i’ve never watched sleepless in seattle but i swore i would once i got back

sleepless_in_seattle.jpg

it was sort of drizzling but we stepped out in the rain anyhow. Shan has to bend down so much to be on the same height -_-”

pike_market_us.jpg

we were so fascinated by the golden pig at the Pike’s entrance

pike_market_pig.jpg

that we couldn’t help but kiss it. ish i kissed right after they snapped the photo!!!

pike_market_pig_kiss.jpg

me, 4 guys and a golden pig

guys_me_pig.jpg

everyone queued up to take a photo with the pig. what is so great about the pig. is it like a pet of the Chief Seattle or the pig found the city or what

zai.jpg

a few steps down the stairs is the Wall Of Gum, of which i thought they looked more like condom not gum. i also stick my own gum into the wall wtf

wall_of_gum_me.jpg

we went to Space Needle after Pike’s Place. omg me and Shan look great together AHAHA

space_needle_us.jpg

this is the weirdest and ugliest looking photo coz it seems like all of us are squashed down there

space_needle_us2.jpg

there’s this queer looking art museum next to it

museum.jpg

the guys with the balls outside the needle wtf

guys_balls.jpg

so unlucky of us to have a Pad Thai thrown to our moving car when we were on the way to Pioneer Square wtf ewww gross and funny we couldn’t stop laughing when we found out it’s Pad Thai not Worms as what we thought

pad_thai_car.jpg

on the way to the Pioneer building where we found this huge bear at the window. jes would have squealed at the sight of that. jes please say u like the bear even if you do not

bear_us.jpg

here we are the Pioneer Square

pioneer_square_us.jpg

there were underground tours at this area, apparently, it’s like another city down there but it was 12 bucks i would have gone for it if we have the time. all the buildings have stairs to go to the ‘basement’

underground.jpg

the Pioneer Building

pioneer_building_us.jpg

err why are the guys lan yau yeng wtf

lan_yau_yeng.jpg

ok this is more like it

more_like_it.jpg

all of us *almost except the one taking the photo of course

pioneer_everyone.jpg

Chief Seattle. apparently the city is named after him. and he’s the leader of the Native American tribes.

chief_seattle.jpg

i liked pioneer square they have nice looking cafes

cafe.jpg

everywhere

cafe2.jpg

we then walked almost 6 streets down to the harbour. where they shot Grey’s Anatomy. and you know what?? i found out Andy watch Grey’s as well like omg it’s so rare to find anyone who watches it so i guess we’re almost on the same channel

walking.jpg

it was very nice out there that day

harbour.jpg

with the buildings at the opposite of the harbour

seattle_buildin.jpg

caught on camera it was windy but not too cold that day drizzling in the morning but thank god it didn’t really rain

me1.jpg

and again

caught_on_camera.jpg

ok and we found taiwan F4 zai zai in seattle wtf i don know what his real name is but he’s Andy’s cousin

zai_zai.jpg

we ended the day with some shoppings in Seattle Premium Outlet where i didn’t even really shop WHY i have so much things to buy!!!

they drove back to Oregon after they dropped me at my sister’s place. i guess the happiest besides being able to meet up with my sister is to be reunited with Shan

reunited.jpg

Can’t wait for my next Seattle trip.

more about Seattle and Uni of Washington up next

what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

January 15, 2008 · 5 Comments

our vegas trip didn’t come out as expected.

our great plan is to leave work at 4, pick up my boss on the way at 5, then reach Vegas at 8.30 or 9. perfect for a great night out where we can slip in a couple more shows

ya right.

so turned out we left work at 4. hang out in HC’s room for an hour. dinner in CheeseCake Factory at 6. went back to HC room for another half an hour. and picked up boss at 9.30pm.

his flight was delayed for 5 hours because of the California storm.

sigh. so ended up we reached Vegas at 3am. i didn’t sleep the entire journey coz i didn’t want to miss out the “Vegas Entrance” that i had longed for since my visit 2 years ago. if u’ve travelled with me, u’d know what i mean coz i couldn’t stop describing about it.

ok anyway, we stayed in MGM Grand

mgmgrand_door.jpg

where we booked the Queen Suite room, which looked like this

mgmgrand_bed_queensuite.jpg

the very comfortable bed omg where me and HC each get a bed

mgmgrand_bed2_queensuite1.jpg

and the bathroom is as big where me and HC each get a wash basin

mgmgrand_toilet_queensuite.jpg

the living room is pretty spacious but we didn’t even step to that area coz we headed straight to the bed everytime

mgmgrand_livingroom_queensuite.jpg

you can see the green mgm grand light out from the window

mgmgrand_window_queensuite.jpg

the hotel made a mistake or something with the overbookings, and upgraded the queen suites to the Marquee Suites for free

you could probably guess how big it is from the grand entrance

mgmgrand_suite_entrance.jpg

which is 1550 sq feet

mgmgrand_suite_livingroom.jpg

with an oversized marble bar area to welcome guests

mgmgrand_suite_bar.jpg

with private bedrooms, each with a private bathroom with jacuzzi

mgmgrand_suite_bed2.jpg

each bedroom with a TV and couch

mgmgrand_suite_bed.jpg

and panaromic views of LasVegas

mgmgrand_suite_me.jpg

and i caught this while walking around the room. okay this is what happens in vegas stays in vegas wtf

we then walked over to Treasure island anticipating for the Siren show coz the last time i went the show was cancelled due to high wind wtf but this time also get cancelled also due to high wind wtf why is god so unfair to me

at least Bellagio didn’t fail me with it’s water fountain

while we waited for the next fountain show, we crossed the street over to Paris Paris where the view is absolutely breathtaking

the wind is crazy so we decided to call it a night. drove to a convenience store where we grabbed a dozen of beer. went back to our fabulous suite and drink away.

we had a pretty short 2nd day in vegas, we only managed to drop by Mandalay Bay

where they had champagne buffet lunch at bayside buffet Mandalay Bay

the poor old me know i wouldn’t enjoy it at all. so i decided to walk around and scout for food

and i had a pretty filling brunch in starbucks of a hot chocolate and a chocolate croissant *drool

starbucks_breakfast.jpg

while i waited for them to devour their ribs, i took the tram to Luxor alone

luxor.jpg

where i met a nice couple who asked if i need help taking photo of myself since i’m alone wtf

luxor2.jpg

but i told them it’s okay because i looked like i haven’t slept for days and it’s not a good photo day wtf

i met up with the guys after 2 hours of wandering around. and we headed down to Hoover Dam

on_the_way_to_dam.jpg

where i honestly hope that i could see Megatron trapped or Optimus hanging on the wall

dam2.jpg

but no signs of them and the dam is hell of peaceful

dam3.jpg

and sunny too

i don’t know if you could see the time at the back. it’s nevada time and there’s another arizone time just opposite it showing the border line of 2 states

dam_me.jpg

all of us. see my boss is so fair wtf

dam_allofus.jpg

and me again because the view is so breathtakingly peaceful and beautiful but i spoiled the whole photo wtf

dam_me2.jpg

so that’s all for Vegas. the only regret is that we missed the Siren show again and also Cirque du Soleil T____T

i hope i can go again because i just like to hang out there. no other reason. vegas oh vegas.
