Just less than 1 day away from my roomie & I miss her already. (IGNORE THE PERSON IN THE MIDDLE | FOCUS ON THE 2 CHICKS IN PINK)
I even thought about what she had for dinner when I left home in the evening. I’ve approximately 1 and a half more months being roomies with her. Even now, 10 hours being away from her makes me think of her. This is normally the time we go downstairs to the water cooler to refill our waters or complain that we’re hungry and go to the mamak.
I miss her, and I don’t deny it.
Hey I’m straight, definitely. In fact, I’m in Singapore spendin’ a birthday weekend with the boyfie. (Yes, he’s turning 24 on Sunday!)So yeah, if I’m missing her already… I wonder how it’ll be like if I leave for Melbie?
Damn. Don’t you just hate it when you’ve been with a person for so long and when you’re apart it feels as heartrending as Oprah’s talk shows? Stupid Evelyn Goh. I miss you, ya’ know?
Shit. Speaking of which, I hate Joyce Ang, Rachel Keng, Minny Chan, Ralph Tan, Rachel Tan, Benjamin Tan, Vincent Tan (wtf why so many Tans), Carter Tham and Adrian Sim back in Penang because I miss them.Godaikthxbai.
On a lighter note :
Ducclebears, wanna see what I have in store for you on Sat/Sun for your 24th? You’ll find out soon. Muaahahahahaha. I may not know Singapore as well as you do, but I sure know how to holla a swell time with the plans I’ve cooked up!
Ever been in touch with your rough and tough side? Try some extreme sports – it’s the way to go! There’s sports like BMX biking, skateboarding, skydiving, surfing, snow skiing, in-line skating and finally ROCK CLIMBING!
Yup yup, your blogger here has pushed her boundries and tried a hand at rock climbing. Hey, since I’m into hiking, I reckon I’d do pretty alright for this sport.
Let’s just see if I do or do not, shall we?
ALRIGHT FOLKS, IT’S TIME TO BREAK SOME BONES AND CLIMB SOME ROCKS
That’s buddy Zhao. He’s in charge of taking care of me and guiding me on the Do’s and Don’ts of rock climbing. Safety measures must always be taken into priority.
I admit, I was rather apprehensive when we first started.
So I got my harness and other necessary gear all checked and harnessed firmly on me, put on my (awful-looking) climbing shoes, tied up my hair in a ponytail and I’m all set and ready to roll!
Arghh damn. I’m getting higher and higher. This sucks! Beads of sweat were already forming on my forehead
See Zhao below me holding my rope? It’s called belaying. This is where the person belaying you is to release/tighten your rope according to the pace of your climb.
I swear I did not trust my belayer at all at first. What if you drop me? I’d fall directly to my doom.
This is me persevering to climb every rock there is to get to the highest point. My palms were already drenched in perspiration but I wasn’t ready to give up yet
When I got higher and higher, the altitude began to take its toll on me. I couldn’t help but to keep looking down. How silly wtf. But at this point, my strength was failing me. Ohnoes.
Damn. I look like a frog in this position
When I kept climbing to reach higher and higher, somehow I knew I couldn’t carry on. My energy has been drained from all the previous climbing of other rocks and this sky-high rock wall was the final straw.
This is me clinging on to dear life. Aaacccckkkkk PUT ME DOWN! NOW!
I knew I was bellowing my lungs out, much to my own dismay.
It took a very long time to actually get me down. How this scene reminded me of a wet cat stuck up on a tree having to have the fire brigade to rescue the poor feline down to the ground. Yes, do not chastise me for that. In all honesty, I was terrified and stuck up there.
Oh well. There’s always next time
Meanwhile, I should just relish the sight of professional climbers -cough- like yourself. Zhao in action, three cheers!
He made it look so easy peasy lemon squeezy! Psst – he’s been into this for 2 years now
Wheeeeeeeeee this is actually the only way I can keep fit. Devoid of any gym membership whilst in KL, I’d give this sport two thumbs up! Oh and.. my trainer too. Woots!
Zhao & I
My next session of rock climbing will prolly be next weekday. Depending if he’s free and vice versa. And I know I’ve canceled out twice last minute. My bad! Won’t happen again, I promise.
I’ve began to embrace rock climbing already. Bought the 10 Pass two weeks ago and now, more to come!
IF ONLY I CAN JUST SHUT MY EYES AND BRAVE MY FEARS
and I can’t believe I’ve always wanted to bungee jump
Believe me, that movie made me laugh & cry & laugh & cry The crying part however, did not ONLY come from the movie. You shall see why soon.
The moment I arrived, Joshua told me,
“Hi Jess, meet Jess!”
David, why do you have such an astonished look on your face? 😛
It wasn’t surprising to meet another Jess; but it was, to meet another Jess of my height.ROFL
36 peeps altogether then marched towards the theaters on the highest floor and continued more mingling. Among the highlight of the day was when Jess mentioned to Aaron :
“Hey Aaron, you actually look very nice today!”
I couldn’t stifle my laughter the moment I heard that. Hmm.. should he take that as a compliment, or a sub-conscious insult? But awww c’mon, we all know Jess meant it as a compliment 🙂
Are you ready peeps?
The movie was fab! I’d give it a 5/5 rating. It really gave me a lot of hindsight of the way two very different yet similar beings called the male and the female, work psychologically. Uh-huh. Being gurls can be quite complicated, but being guys well, can be even more complex! No worries, we gurls understand. J
At the part where the male star gave a surprise proposal to Jennifer Aniston,
(sorry, I’m tragic at screen names)
Pam said to me “How come guys don’t do these things in real life?” And I went “Haha. Maybe they prefer to skip the drama?”
AND SUDDENLY The screen warped to photos of an unfamiliar couple. I was puzzled, how come I didn’t notice these two people throughout the movie? It turned out, that Mr.Romeo wanted to give his lady a surprise proposal too. A live band played in front of all of us and the lucky gurl was surprised, I could tell. Mr.Romeo then gave his speech and asked for her hand in marriage.
BEFORE HE EVEN FINISHED HIS SPEECH, TEARS STREAMED DOWN A FEW OF OUR FACES – INCLUDING ME! Like, wtf? I’m not even the one he’s proposing to, why the eff was it touching enough for me and the rest to cry?
Pam & I went “AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” So dramas do happen in real-life after all.
I guess all the gurls will already be expecting more from their to-be fiances’?Sorry men, Mr.Romeo here has just spoiled the market for yall!
The after-movie picture.
We then chilled by Laundry Bar for some drinks and NIGEL’S SEAFOOD PLATTER. Hahaha! Kidding, pal. Some drinks and random chit-chats more of. I was sitting at the far (read : very very far) end around Nigel, Kel, David and Jen. Wanna see how far away we are?
Kel & I look like black dots splattered on the world map While Yat & Tallen gets all the glory! 😛
That being said, Imma give Nigel, Kel, Jen and myself more glory. ROFL. Take that!
A nice montage by Nigel :
Spot me? Since there’s two Jess’
Aightey, tick-tock goes the clock. Yat was nice enough to take me back home, as I didn’t have any transport back! Thanks, pal.
To the buddies, I had a blast with you guys! And to the new peeps I’ve met too, nice meeting yall for the 1st time!

Sorry dearie, scheduled this post to be published yesterday (your actual burfday) but was really caught up with some stuff =( Anyhow, this post is dedicated to you!
Happy Burfday Bestie, love ya!
Imagine racing back and forth in between KL – PENANG in less than 24 hours. Yeah, beat that! I was back in Penang for only less than a day. Headed back down for the BFF’s burfday celebration, Joyce Ang.
I would never miss celebrating her burfday with her for the world. Check out what we did for her burfday last year [here].
ROARRRRRRRRRthis is. JOYCIE’S BDAY!!!!!!!!
Even if it means killing roaches with my bare hands, braving through a swarm of bumblebees, travelling across the globe or even dehydrate for 11 days
. I’ll be back fo’ ya babe.
Period.
Yes it’s affirmative!
We celebrated her birthday a few days earlier just so I can be there for her 21st. And if there were to be one word and one word only for me to describe the burfday bash, I’d say it was WICKED! Like, we always are.
We checked into the hotel in the afternoon and after some lazybumming in the suite, it’s off for some wet and wild fun! Swimming, what were you thinking?
The three guys were so convinced that they didn’t wanna get wet.
WITH US AROUND, THERE’S NO WAY YOU AIN’T WETTING YOURSELF (that sounds kinda wrong but owells)
Still not wet?
Introducing, the Pool Party Squad This is where you’ll get wet!
But before that, the burfday gurl gets all the wet & wild love! Try as you may babe, but you’ll never escape the fun. They say burfday gurls will always end up drunk and thrown into the pool, but since you’re already IN the pool; we’ll splash harder and get you wasted tonight!
Finally, we gurls managed to pull the rest of the guys in. Show your bravados, come on – be a man and get wet! WTF
don’t try to attract other females it AIN’T mating season
Hey look, just because you have a super-powerful canon, it still doesn’t make swa ns attracted to you buddyCarter. So, jizz and jizz as much as you want till you become a dried shrimp.
Hell yeah
Here you go, twenty-plus year old playing like kids at heart. Owells, there’s a child inside every one of us, no? Including you!
We continued swimming and playing a fool in the pool. Best thing was trying to make the guys climb on top of each other, of which, they eagerly did it with free will.
men. tsk tsk tsk
Unlike us gurls – such well behaved angelic beings. *winks*
Love ma gurls
And why on earth do you guys want to have a boob competition -____-“ Okie we surrender, bestieCarter you have the biggest chest. *bows down*
Okay fine, you got me. I love the whole motley crew. Especially when we’re wet and playing some wild fun. *winks*Oh and, we played strip poker later that night, along with a few others who came to join us!
The swim team *grins*
Who could imagine us hanging out in the pool till late at night? Time passed by so quickly we didn’t even realize it. Darn, I miss Penang already.
Wacky bunch in motion And oops, I found something in Carter’s pants
It was already late and we made too much noise (believe me, we contributed 90% of the noise pollution in the hotel suite later that night. I reckon it went up to 50decibels) we were shooed away. Aight, time to shower and go back to the suite guys!
How interesting tsk tsk tsk
What happened in the hotel suite? Alcohol – check Poker Cards – check Mad bunch – check
*winks* You’ll see
soon enough
Happy 21st Burfday once again
Love ya always gurl Besties for 3 years & counting! ♥
I was down in Penang for the weekend – ONE DAY to be exact.
Yeah, it’s kinda like a secret as not many peeps know that I returned. Due to the fact that I had only one sole purpose of coming down.
…. of which I will blog about pretty soon. (Hint : Bikini babes, Hunky dudes & Strip Poker)
.
.
.
Anyway, here’s a lil something first. The 10 hour long journey back and forth can indeed be a very restless one. But hey, I enjoyed traveling 1st class on a exclusive double-deckered coach – Aeroline.
My very first time aboard!
They had a :
A flat screen TV
A lounge with upholstered couches
Plug-points for our laptops
Blankets and cushions on the seats
“Air” stewards to attend to us
A built-in Aero.Fm
A PA system
and most of all – something that made me grin from ear to ear :
They served Subway during the journey!Imagine that!
I reckoned I would be bored to death on board, without WiFi to blog live. But I was wrong, there seems to be something about me and coincidentally meeting my friends whilst traveling!
Guess which buddy I met this time?
Ray Cheong Cleo’s Most Eligible Bachelor Finalist& DiGi Celebriteen Champ!
Hurrah! Some company – finally! Ray and I were equally hungry as we ate no breakfast. Pardon us and our gluttony. You did not just see the picture below.
When hunger gets the better of us
Just as you thought we had enough, we didn’t. We had another round of bites at the rest house en route to Penang. Long tiresome journeys can really make one hungry. Hee.
Superstar having his 2nd consecutive packet of Nasi Lemak
Whilst I filled myself with roasted groundnuts
Apart from him, iPoot and Snappy, there was nothing else on board to keep me entertained. So, away I snapped.. and snapped.. and snapped. In total, I took a number of repetitive pictures in similar stances.. but chose this doofus-looking piccie from all the rest.
On the highway back home
Nostalgia filled my mind the moment BuddyCarter picked me up when I finally arrived at my destination. I realized that I never looked at Penang that way before – those roads, those landmarks, those people. The familiarity.
This is. HOME. at last! I can feel it burning.
Buddy Carter & I
Stay tuned for some swimming dipshit! + some strip poker pics if you’re lucky
