It’s the freakin’ weekend!

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

 

Hollaaaaa! Hope your weekend is going swell, dear readers

Mine has been hectic but fun thus far! I just returned from a full day at the 'Avengers With Harley' event.

 

Many thanks to Harley Davidson for inviting me as their guest!

I had a swell time checkin' out and even riding your buncha sexy superbikes. It an was out-of-this-world experience! The private screening of Marvel's The Avenger's with good company & all the bikers was amazing too

 

More of that in another blogpost!

 

Random photo : sunny skies ahead!

 

   Oooh and here's a Health & Money tip for today! 

Steadfast in my daily routine is lots of gymtime and fresh fruits & vegetables everyday.

 

My gym essentials

 

To complement your healthy lifestyle, blend your own fresh fruit juice at home!

Theboyf and I bought a whole lot of fruits & veggies yesterday at the market and it only costed us 6 bucks altogether.  

 

Imagine buying fruit juice from a juice bar – 10 bucks for a blend of only 3 fruits, sugared, watered down and filled with ice.

Nope, not wise at all. 

 

This morning, we had a power combination of 5 types of fruits & 2 veggies

 

Let's see. Green apples, red apples, oranges, pears, a pineapple, celery sticks & carrots.

100% fresh, pure, concentrated fruit juice including the pulp for only RM6 FOR TWO HUGE GLASSES! 

Apart from the labour of cutting & juicing the fruits by ourselves (and rinsing the equipment thereafter) it is a fun thing to do together, I must say! 

 

Upon taking our 1st sip of our homemade fruit juice, we nodded in approval and high-fived each other for a job well done. 

 

Did some juicing with buddy Pamela at home too!

We used a combo of red apples, oranges, carrots & pears  :D

 

By the way, some of you have been asking me why I haven't been updating much this month.

Now that you've mentioned, it kinda struck me.  

 

Probably 'cos I'm often out and about even more lately that I hardly have the time to sit at my computer anymore.

Apologies! :( You can still catch up with me via my twitter page :D

 

Promise I'll be updating a whole lot more, aight? :)  

Oh, and to make up for lost time, here's a back to back of some photos & happenings I've missed out on sharing with you peeps.

 

Saved a kitten from being crushed in the middle of the road

 

Speaking of felines, here are a few latest piccies of my furkid, Chivas.

He's such an adorable ball of fluff, 10 months old now :)

 

Just got him neutered!

 

Was extended an invitation to Werner's @ Changkat Bukit Bintang to attend a launch party jointly organized by Corset Me, Rarablack and Lovely Legs.

They held a sexy corset party – CANDYGIRL – and it was fun trying out their corsets, leggings and other outfits!

 

The ladies from Corset Me did a live demonstration of the proper & correct way to wear a corset

 

I've personally never worn an *actual* corset before!

I only own those corset-look-a-like tube tops from Guess, Forever 21 and MNG. 

 

This live demonstration was informational & pretty fun to watch

 

They then offered to let me try their corsets. I got to choose whichever corset that suits my style the most!

The kind lady-boss of Corset Me – Jaycee – helped me wear it properly. Thanks again!

 

Before I knew it, I was ushered to the studio area to do a photoshoot with their corset on.

 

My style was evident tonight – an edgy, rockerchick look with a feminine touch 

I picked a black Ed Hardy inspired corset

 

Felt so jittery throughout the photoshoot!

I've always felt more comfortable being the photographer than being photographed. But I hope I pulled it off!

 

Mui Victoria and I during the event

 

Michelle and I just before we left the event!

Two photos : one from my camera & one from hers :)

 

It was a fun and enlightening night. I had a great time!

 

Attended Carlsberg Where's The Party event

Thanks for the photos, Ed :)

 

Just some photos from ze clan's Christmas potluck party. I made roast! :D :D

Again, thanks for the photos Ed!

 

Brought theboyf back to Penang for the 1st time

 

Had my Industrial Piercing re-pierced because I didn't like the initial positioning

 

Went for a double date with my pals!

Some relaxation + shisha with good Iranian food at Shisha Lounge!

 

Had an amazing & fun-loving valentines!

 

Exchanged gifts! (More gift-exchange that I forgot to take photos of cos he opened mine real fast)

 

Had a milkshake phase

Speaking of which, it's been a while since we last had our dose of Milkshake Factory, ey? :P

 

Played with food

 

Ate too much good food

 

…….. that it's time for a moneydiet

 

Went to Semenyih for the 1st time to accompany buddy Pam's trip Nottingham University

Photo taken while waiting for her :)

 

Played and experimented with pretty contact lenses!

Clockwise : olive green, ash, brown, violet

 

Had a random burst of OCD and I started to reorganize my contact lenses

 

Bought new grey diamond ones! Love how they have sucha strong affinity to the eyeballs

 

  Just so you know, all the contact lenses I'm wearing are plano ones.

Zero power, as I am neither short-sighted nor long-sighted.

 

But unfortunately, I have very high astigmatism.

Got my eyes checked!

 

Fell in love with this tiny car with a Union Jack roof!

 

Also fell in love with this random cloud I saw by the display window in the mall!

 

Camwhored in the car while waiting in the bubble jet carwash machine!

 

Attended one of the series of Guinness's St. Patrick's Day celebrations at Jarrod & Rawlins!

Brought along buddy Pam to join in the greeeeeeen Irish fun 

 

Massive retail therapy when I got real moody sometime last month

 

Pampered my nails – DIY at home! :D

 

Random shot via iTouch at KLCC carpark

 

Random shot via iTouch at The Curve's carpark

 

Also a random shot, this time in Sunway instead!

 

Had a scrumptious dinner feast with the Aussiemates at Souled Out

 

Camwhoring with theboyf with full hopes of getting a nice photo but………

Such is life 

 

Attended the Laura Mercier Spring 2012 Collection & Swatch launch

 

Had my make up done by the professional make-up artists there!

 

Met the amazing Jodi Riley, the official, international make-up artist of Laura Mercier

She's so bubbly and full of personality!

 

Lastly, went back to school with buddy Pam to visit our high school teachers &

eat the famous Char Koay Teow at our canteen!

 

Surely you must miss your high school food after growing up with it for 11 years of your early life :P

We certainly did.

 

That being said, have a good night (or a party night!)

and enjoy your Sunday ahead lovelies! 

The city of neon trees, gorgeous lights and more! A trip to the luminous and brightly lit i-City Shah Alam

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

 

 

Hiya lovelies! Like my pet Zebra?

Well, you should.

 

He's pretty benevolent; stands in a solitary position eating wires all the time 

Poor zebra, prolly thought it was grass his whole life.


With electricity constantly running through him with each surge of voltage in every bite he takes, it's no wonder he's always lighted up.

Same goes for all the other animals in this kingdom of lights

 

Ladies and gents, welcome to i-City in Shah Alam!

 

Today, imma share one of the tourist destinations we took my Aussieguests Allyce and Lauren to.

Remember the previous Aussieguest, Carly, I hosted not too long ago? :)

 

Well this is Round 2.

Selamat Datang ke Malaysia Allyce dan Lauren! 

 

Previously, I brought them to Batu Caves - the famous, historical Indian place of worship.

Apart from showing them heaps of other places of Malaysian lifestyle, we decided to bring them to this technological city of lights as we ourselves, have not been there before either.

 

So let's get 'em neons on!

 

Awesome!


More photos with le housies and our wonderful Aussieguests 

 

With buddy Pam

 

Flanked by housies Pam & Darryl ;)

 

Us with fellow housie Edwin. IT IS COMPLEEEEEETE! 

 

My lovely gurls and I 

Wonder what's behind us?

 

Take a guess. ;)

I think the snowflakes would be a giveaway.

 

A GIANT CHRISTMAS TREE!!!

 

Yeah as you can plausibly tell, it was Christmas season when we paid i-City a visit.

And you know how we Chinese are always overzealous in putting up Chinese New Year decorations waaayyy before Chinese New Year?

Some even have those Chinese decorations up & blasting Gong Xi Fa Cai songs BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! 


 

There. Chinese New Year decorations as illustrated.

 

No matter… SMILE! anyway.

 

Pretty sights!

 

As we adjourned to the neon forrest, we were in awe upon seeing the beautifully illuminated fir trees; standing ostentatiously in a myriad of vibrant colours!! :D :D

It takes more than just basic electrician training skills to create this wonderland. 

 

It was a lovely sight to see. Here they are!

 

 

Recognized as the 1st lightscape tourism destination in Malaysia with state-of-the-art LED technology showcase, no wonder this place is always buzzing with people everywhere! 

 

Made me feel like I'm in Twilight Zone! :D :D

 

No, not Twilight. 

 

 

TWILIGHT ZONE.

 

The American anthology television series which debuted circa 1959

 

Armed with our DSLR cannons, we were delighted to start shooting away!

 

First time in this trippy neon city!  :D Worth a photo

Thanks for the photo Ed!

 

I was sitting the on the ground snapping photographs away!

 

Buddy Pam joined me on the ground for some camwhoring

 

1 2 3 *click*

 

The boys followed suit :)

 

And everybody joined in as well!

 

We had to bid farewell to the wondrous night time wonderland as it was getting late

All I can say : bedazzled by i-City! 

 

My pet zebra says goodbye.

 

 

And so do we! :D :D

 

 

 

Congratulations to my gurlie Pamela Ooi on your graduation! Masters in Science: Environmental Monitoring and Management

Monday, February 20th, 2012

 

 

So one sunny (and by sunny, I mean excruciatingly hot) sweltering afternoon, I found myself away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city – on the countryside grounds of Nottingham University campus in Semenyih.

What have ye travelled so far for?

 

The photo speaks for itself :)

 

No, it's not my graduation ceremony… YET. 

It's someone else's moment; my buddy Pam's! 

 

 

I certainly would not miss her graduation for the world.:D

So upon request, I was more than willing to shoot her post-ceremony photographs of this memorable day.

 

You're looking at the graduate in Masters in Science : Environmental Monitoring and Management!

Yes, very long title. I think so too.

 

I've often contemplated the thoughts of taking my tertiary education a notch higher with a Masters! 

These days, Bachelor's Degree holders aren't a rare sight to see at all.

 

This is especially now true that many schools have programs that allow students to earn a Bachelor Degree online. Yep, it's really that easy.

 

Practically every well-educated person has pursued an undergraduate course.

Which is why it's a smart idea to set yourself a qualification apart from the pool of undergrads.

 

With the graduates, Iguniwari (Pam's classmate) and Pamela

Here I am holding the scroll for fun – and prolly because it's red! :P

 

And another one with fellow housie Edwin!

I was wearing a blazer initially but was roasting inside due to the weather :(

 

Many a time I've watched her sit for hours on end at the computer tabulating her data and doing whatever mumbo-jumbo required to complete her thesis paper of 'Perceptions of Human-Tiger Conflict in Peninsular Malaysia'

 

 

She even made a trip to the remote areas of Terengganu in the eastern countryside to conduct her research among the villagers living in the jungle and effects of tigers 

Also get bitten to near-death by mosquitoes LOL

 

Mission accomplished – finally!

 

My turn next, methinks? Masters of Journalism, Masters of Communications & Media Studies?

That's all just a thought for now BUT

 

Not sure if I want to endure months and months of research and thesis writing

 

I wish you all the best in your future undertakings and may you enter the voracious dog-eat-dog world of the corporate ladder with full gusto!  

You can dooooooooo it!

 

Heartiest congratulations again, gurlie

This is for you 

At the stroke of midnight : our random breakdance + housie photoshoot atop Genting Highlands!

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

 



 

Sometimes we only reminisce what we do best during our younger days.

But some of us try to relive it.

 

When I was a teenager madly immersed in hip hop and street culture – like many others at the time, I used to dabble in some breakdancing routines with fellow teens and high school kids.

That was circa 2003-2005, mind you!

 

But one fine day, housie Edwin and I decided to give le old bones some good crackin'

 

Looks like we've still got it kickin', even after 10 years!

 

 

I can clearly remember my fave moves were the helicopter, windmill, turtle, 6-step, seven, scorpion and various air-freezes.

 

Unfortunately, I sucked at them; wasn't exactly the best B-Girl on the block.

But I sure harboured lots of passion for it, regardless.

 

Breaking into a side-freeze in Genting Indoor Themepark at midnight!

 

Futile attempts at the air-flare

It was indeed a random night out. ;)

It all happened 'cos we didn't feel like sleeping after continuous unfruitful rounds at Casino de Genting

 

Pretty indoor view at Genting

 

I was up in Genting Highlands to attend FREEZE and was glad le housies tagged along to have fun

We sure do get up to a lot of hilarious fun!!

 

Just being silly in my Deluxe Twin Room in First World Hotel, Genting

 

On the same night as the breakdance photoshoot, we also got up to taking artsy profile shots and group shots of us housies. 

Let the randomity begin!

 

Posing and shizz

Beware of the Yakuza on the loose!

 

Take one!

Fashion spread cover photo much?

Think we can pull it off? :P

 

I miss Genting Highlands already!

 

But the next time we get up there…

 

UNCLE LIM… WE DEMAND

YOU GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK!!

 $$$$$$$$$$ KA-CHING!
