Come take a peek into my room? My new home! From West rez to the South here I come!

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

 

Okay time for you to see yet another one of my places of residence again!

There's this nitty-gritty OCD part of me that loves a well-decorated, personalized, neat and organized room.

 

Most of the time, I'm very proud to let you guys take a look! Well, the efforts that I take to make my room pretty & cosy; one that truly represents me does pay off especially when I have guests over *bigwidesmile*

Remember when I showed you my house and room in this post and another one in this post?

 

Are u ready? Knock before you enter my room! :)

Oh and remember I painted that canvas on the top?

 

Most of you know that I live on-campus or more fondly referred to as 'on rez' (residencies) at the moment.

I was allocated to be on the West rez 32 when I first came to Australia, but since I spent 90% of my time and day in the South rez, I've decided to just permanently move into South rez 9.

 

Nicey? :D :D

 

Most of the time, my room/house will be splashed &decorated by reds every where.

I often adopt a red theme wherever I stay, but since I didn't have much choice (all my red stuff are in Malaysia!) my room – for the first time – picked up a blue theme instead :( Blue curtains, blue comforter, blue bedsheets, blue pillowcase.. etc. ;(

 

My simplistic wardrobe. I hung up my accessories on the wardrobe

door (so they don't become tangled noodles when I wanna wear 'em!)

 

Seriously, I've spent almost an hour trying to detangle my necklaces/chokers before, causing myself to be uber late at certain events I go to! Grrr. Next time my accessories only stay hung up – no where else!

 

Another angle of my room. Can you see my shoe shelf?

 

Take a closer look :D :D I dreaded how I had to choose between all my shoes to pack into my luggage.

Mom wouldn't let me bring more than FOUR, I was crestfallen! How am I supposed to choose 4 out of my 30 pairs? :(

 

I eventually sneaked in more than 4 and ended up succumbing to more pretty shoes here

I bought 5 more. Ooops. Sorry mom. :P

 

Probably not important, but here's the insides of my cupboard.

 

Facial stuff, make up and clothes.

On to my study table! Where I'm sitting as we speak, supposedly mugging for the exams but can't help to take a short break to blog for a while. Nyahahaha :P

 

What do you see?

 

My camera gear, a pair of red sunnies, a red shark, an infographic on cannabis, my textbooks, the Greek alphabet, cute postcards, a bottle of memories, a frisbee, leopard-print handcuffs, random train tickets, bus ticket-stubs, tissue, a food pyramid, Churchill's bus timetable and little love notes! Do you spot everything?

 

Okay, one more picture for the road!

Here's a diagonally aerial view of my room :)

 

Nice nice nice? *beams* I love decorating!

 

Okay I should really head back to my exam revisions now.

Cheers! And if your room isn't half as neat as mine, you know what to do :P

Of flaming absinthe shots, going insane and planking before the exam season stress begins!

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

 

Now that our assignments & major assessment tasks are over and done with, the exam period comes looming near.

But before that, what better way than to unwind and let down our hair at a houseparty in full swing?

 

Another good idea would be, dousing ourselves with flaming absinthe shots *wink*

 

1..2..3.. bottoms up!

 

My homies back in Malaysia have requested me to buy Absinthe home for them. Would love to, but Absinthe is banned and illegal in Malaysia – so I've heard? Hmmm.. I'd rather not get arrested at KL International Airports the mo I touch down LOL

Also, it's no wonder I've never seen Absinthe at any bottle shop before back at home.

 

Drink up and study well ;)

 

Just yesterday, the whole lot of us headed to Alex's crib for our houseparty.

It was an insane night indeed.

 

Kayla, Alex and I :)

 

I have no idea what Britt is doing :P

Looks to me like brushing her teeth with an imaginary toothbrush

 

With Bardha holding up Kyle's pizza :P

 

Laura and I – the ONLY ones with Asian blood in us ;)

 

Kayla and I – was I eating a whole bar of chocolate?

Dagnammit!

 

With Konzy corncob :P :P

 

Laura, me & Britt

 

With Todd!

 

Houseparty video below, check it out -

 

Just a lil snippet of the fun we had

 

 

Besides drinking, blasting music and all that jazz, we did some bongs of Kronic too.

I'd recommend anyone who's into bongs/joints take a look at this alternative.

It's legal, and that's what's most important. I know the illegal ones are fun, but ya don't wanna get into the wrong hands of the law now, would you?

 

This big bad wolf will huff and puff and blow down your house!

 

Besides, this packs a bigger punch than the real deal.

I'm SO not joking :)

 

 

You're looking at two stoners now.

Or rather, you can see the wall behind us. LOL

 

Jump up let's get crazy!

 

Cuddlemunchster! :D

 

And then we noticed something not quite right with Alex.

Poor guy was high and drunk – kept laughing non-stop on the kitchen floor

 

And refused to get up!

 

It was so funny we kept taking photos and videos

Better yet, pull practical jokes on helpless little Alex!

 

I decided to have some fun with the Mandarins in top of his head

 

But Laura had a better idea with the Mandarins and vodka….

 

Gross!! Looks like someone wet himself? :P

 

Check out the video below for a very, very good laugh -

 

Well, that's what you get when you're in a state of intoxication with your crazy friends!

Bwahahahhaha :P

 

 

So there you go, ladies and gentlemen,

ALEX MCINNES SHOT PLANKING ON THE KITCHEN BENCH!

 

Superman to the rescue!

 

He looked pretty comfy, so we left him there for a little longer


Until I gestured for Konzy and Hooper to carry him to his bed

 

It was funny when I assisted a cold, wet Alex undress off his wet clothes and into his pyjamas.

Don't ask me what I saw! Holy bejeebuz.

 

Just less than 2 minutes after putting him to bed, he came outside again

and started eating a whole block of cheese LOL

 

 

After all the laughter was over, i think it was my turn.

Before I knew it, I passed out on the couch. zzzzZZZZZ

 

Woke up with my pyjama pants on.

 

Don't remember changing into that but yay three cheers for crazy night and welcome, exam fever!

Will draw n paint ugly things for free pizza. Future Picasso? I haz leet art skillz LOL

Monday, May 30th, 2011

 

One of the things that you'll never expect yourself to be dragged into.

To attempt artwork to earn yourself a free pizza dinner.

 

No, if you're wondering… I didn't paint that.

 

I once saw this picture of a 'le chat noir' (French translation: black cat) during one of my Christmas dinners with thefockers at a cosy European restaurant. It symbolizes a 19th century cabaret, or entertainment house in one of the districts in Paris.

Apparently, the image somewhat stuck in my head without me realizing it.. as you shall see.

 

The first thing that came to mind to sketch

 

The student union body decided to hold an art + dinner session one Tuesday evening.

We were given free canvases and acrylic paints to doodle to our hearts content and mingle over pizza.

 

The finished product

 

Not exactly a replica of Le Chat Noir but still, it was inspired by the former in an odd way.

When my mates asked me,"Why this picture?" I didn't even know what to respond with until I got back home and tried Googling cat images from France. Only THEN I realized where I adapted it from.


If anything else fails, it could also remind you of the Australian aboriginal flag.

 

Either way, it looks relatively, modestly fine… ya think? :P Most importantly, my humble artwork doesn't look too pre-school.

It is proudly hanging on my wall now *biggrin* The pizza was delicious too – which was, no doubt, the main reason why we attended this art session anyway :P

Our FINAL themeparty – Good vs. Evil showdown! | Black Cat of Spiderman unleashed

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

 

As we approach the exams, this party constitutes our last theme-party we'll rock up at.

So let's make it count as the best! As Pitbull once said :

 

"Give me everything tonight…

For all we know, we might not get tomorrow..

LET'S DO IT TONIGHT!"

 

A combination of Good & Evil!


 

The theme for the final party was Good vs. Evil.

As you can probably tell by now, I've spent quite a lot for my other outfits for the last 6 parties so I didn't feel like going all out this time round. Here's a re-cap for each blogposts : Beach Party, Back to School Party, Fluro Party, Jungle Party, Fancy Dress Party & Toga Party

 

Obviously, I chose EVIL. If you know me well enough by now, that's my prerogative.

Ever since I was a child, I've always favoured the villains of any cartoon, TV show or movie

 

 

So… who am I supposed to be this time?

 

Although I didn't go into full cosplay tonight, my character was inspired by Black Cat of Spiderman

 

Should there be a next themeparty I go to, you can be almost certain that a full blown Black Cat will be there to terrorize you

Anyway, photos from the party!

 

Ninja-Samurai X Zorro the Masked Rider X Black Cat X Masquerade character

 

I watched as they played the insane, puke-inducing, deathly King's Cup again :P

 

Finally ended up joining the game when everyone agreed that I will not get the King's Cup AGAIN.

Gosh, my luck in this game has been really bad all this while!

 

This game = serial extreme dares and many more!

 

Finally, Abraham was the one who ended up with the King's Cup yay! I won't handle another King's Cup anymore LOL

He had to down that massive mug – skull it all! :D :D

 

After the game ended, camwhore piccies with my semi-drunken Good & Evil mates!

 

RAWR!

 

Me with Olivia – for the first time attending the parties with us!

 

She doesn't need to go dressed as any character; all she needs is to go as HERSELF and that embodies 'good' already.

 

Evil vs. Good : Black Cat X Fairy

 

Two Evil villains : Black Cat X Hannibal Lecter :)

 

Another two villains! The Joker of Batman X Black Cat of Spiderman

 

Zorro the Masked Rider X Black Cat X Good Girl :P

 

with Mossy the Ninja/Samurai! Are Ninjas supposed to be Good or Evil?

I guess it depends on who they assassinate then :P

 

Pre-drinking party is over! My gurls and I all ready to pump up the partay :D

 

Ohhhh but first!

A quick camwhore shot before I adjourn

 

After taking this picture, I noticed something was still missing

So I ran back home to wear a glossy cat-collar and clawed my fingers with black masking tape

 

Chilling by the couches at the party!

I just realized – WHY DO I SEEM TO BE CARRYING MY PASSPORT EVERYWHERE AGAIN?

 

OMG! Bumped into Laura dressed as the Tooth Fairy!

Hannibal Lecter drinking Southern Comfort behind us :D

 

Actually, I didn't know she went as a tooth fairy, I thought she was just a regular fairy.

UNTIL. I saw her carrying a toothbrush!!!! Did you see the toothbrush wedged near her boobs? Bingo

 

With Laura & Kayla. Partied till the skies came down!

 

Party rockers in the house tonight! Everybody just have a good time

And we gonna make you lose your mind!

 

Oh, my expression is a total CMI case. Hence the big X there on my face LOLOL

 

Abraham looks really spaced out in this photo

Could be thanks to the King's Cup he downed earlier!

 

Don't know who these people are, but they look pretty damn awesome!

I reckon they're both Evil too.

 

Oh, and.. you know what I really hate? When someone else dresses up as the same character as I do – especially in a competition.

That's where you're being compared. Bleh. Like, FFFFFUUUUUUUUU *headdesk*

 

I've had this nasty experience once, blogged about it in a nasty way and caused a huge uproar if you remember :P

Because I can *smug*

 


So, say hello to the TWO Jokers in the house!

They were like, why did you go as The Joker too? I'm gonna murder you scum LOL

 

But yeah, didn't really mind when I spotted Sarah as a cat too.

There can be plenty of  cats in the house – as long as its not the EXACT same cat! :D :D

 

Meow! They say black cats bring bad luck, but I say we set the party on fire!

 

Random, candid photo. I think this was taken when I was dancing

Britt as the devil is behind me – probably dancing too

 

 

Oh and check out the video! Just a snippet of the dares & how we roll at parties!

You can spot me the Black Cat somewhere in the middle dancing after the 2nd half of the video

 

The cast of Good vs. Evil taken on the dance floor.

 

We're running tο thіѕ .. lіkе .. we gοt thаt devilish flow
Rock аnd roll
Wе party rock!

 

My lovely bunch of mates who make my world go round

Love yall heaps!

 

The night ended with a blast. Who needs any more fun when you've got your buddies with you?

It's the company that matters most… THEN the music & drinks.

 

A great party as our last themeparty indeed! Can't believe I'm leaving so soon – in a month's time :(

Bring it on for my final party with the bunch – My birthday X farewell party before I fly off! Can't wait.
