The Sunday Times XVI: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

January 6, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Hark! Who goes there!? 

A strange electromagnetic force must've swept through my residence because now there's…

 

Two of me.

 

I kid. :D Was just playing around with a new photo editing app and realized it gave me this effect.

Pretty nifty, ey? I'll keep making better ones in due time!

 

My last seven days kept me rather occupied. With New Year's Eve parties, New Year's Day celebrations, running errands, heading out and about, blogging and so much more.

Before that, a shout out goes to my buddy Tammy, for turning a year older on the 1st of January! 

 

Two kittehs!  Your birthday cake is still in my fridge :/

Happy Birthday gurlie! xoxo

 

For her birthday, she celebrated it with a movie treat – Les Miserables, the musical! :D

I've always wanted to read the book first but looks like it'll have to be the other way around now.

 

Luckily, Konzy has that novel so I'm just going to borrow it from him! :D

 

Loving the movie to bits!  Apart from reducing me to tears at the end of the three hour showtime, I walked out of the cinema hall feeling touched and inspired by its very poignant scenes!

Immediately after the show, I found myself talking to others in a sing-song voice and singing out my responses whenever someone talked to me – leaving them raising their eyebrows in bewilderment. LOL

 

 

Musicals, in particular, tend to have that effect on me. The bulk of Konzy and I's interaction throughout the day consisted of lyrical and melodious conversations as well as dramatic hand gestures.

I kid you not.

It started to get really funny at some point – until we ran out of lyrics and the effect, gradually wore off. 

 

By the lake in KLCC park

 

We decided to adjourn outside; towards KLCC park where it was hot and sunny.

Wouldn't want to waste a lovely weather like this, yes?  Lunch was at Chinoz on the Park.

 

His: Pappardelle Meatballs

Hers: Caesar Salad with Smoked Salmon

 

 It was decently tasty, but commanding such a hefty price for such a simple fare?

That's city living for you, methinks.  We were at the Petronas Twin-Towers KLCC after all.

 

Just a cute photo of us on the escalator. 'Nuff said :P

 

We were fooling around, talking about everything under the sun as usual and he dared me to fist myself.

Now, now, hold your horses and don't let your thoughts wander off too quickly! 

 

This is his attempt at fisting himself which I found frightfully amusing 

I wasn't going to do it anyway, but Konzy showed me that it was humanly possible LOL

 

Over the next few days I was really caught up configuring, setting-up & syncing my brand new, shiny toys.

My new laptop runs on the new Windows 8! Geez, I felt so computer illiterate when I first laid hands on it. 

 

My new 15.6" ASUS laptop (where I'll be working most of my writing on)

& SAMSUNG Galaxy S tablet (as my PDA/organizer/planner)

 

This baby has such high-tech fluidity, impressive user interface, works with different commands, new features, new settings, a new Microsoft Windows AppStore where we can download apps too!

Plus, it has a dual OS (Operating System) where I can choose to switch in between Windows 8 and Windows RT whenever I feel like it.

Oh, sweet, sweet, technology.  :D

 

Dinner was at another one of my all-time fave restaurants – Food Foundry @ Section 17, Petaling Jaya

His : Wild Mushroom Soup and a Club Sandwich

Hers: Chunky Tomato Soup and Prawn & Eggplant Spaghetti

 

Regardless of where I live, I will never fail to pop in every so often just to buy my favourite Mille Crepe cake. So the Vanilla Mille Crepe cake you see above, was of course, mine 

It's just one of the things I can't – forgive me – share. Really 

 

****

 

Something triggered my motivation and my moods were clearly elevated when I was told that I was featured in the media again.

No, not in a cinema ad nor a billboard this time, but in a newspaper and a magazine :

 

In Kwong Wah Yit Poh press (a Chinese newspaper)

 

In The Opinion (a monthly magazine pull-out of The STAR Newspaper)

 

With me, it is no surprise. My seven days also included, the imperative gym sessions!

 

Ran 3.15 miles in 35 minutes and the usual weight-lifts & floor workouts

 

The next morning was a very early start for me – for a change! 

Who wakes up early on a Sunday morning anyway?

 

Being the night owls we are, it was a total spur of the moment.

But I soon realized that I actually liked waking up at daybreak! Konzy and I then headed out for a very hearty yet healthy breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning.

 

To one of my fave food spots in Bangsar, Antipodean Cafe

which serves New Zealand & Australian coffee roasters & cafe cuisine

 

For him :  Big Breakfast with hash browns, sausages, a fluffy omelette, grilled tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms and a slice of wholemeal bread.

For her : Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, radicchio lettuce, cherry tomatoes, a slice of wholemeal bread, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and a piping hot glass of skinny latte.

I've said this over and over again, but Antipodean Cafe is certainly one worth recommending several times!

(You know, people forget…) 

 

I love this place so much that I even celebrated my last birthday here!

We even managed to have a quick chat with Kiwi-born Alun Evans, the owner of Antipodean Cafe. :)

 

****

 

Throughout this week, I've also been consciously switching from radio channel to radio channel lately, departing from the usual, repetitive trashy tunes that they call contemporary mainstream pop.

HOW ON EARTH DID lil miss annoyingly-in-your-face Nicki Minaj, Flo-Rida who is apparently a pro at teaching girls how to "blow" his "whistle", a close-to-30-year-old singing bubble gum pop hoping for someone whom she just met to call her, superficial outlook to life of a materialistic "Primadonna Girl", and yes, let's not forget whiny, spirals of despair from Adele, permeate the airways?

 

 

Really. It's a million dollar question. 

Come to think of it, it might be the aimless commercialization and lack of substance in today's "music" that has put talented, real musicians and independent artistes to shame. 

Yup, what's new? It's all about the $$$.

 

Which is why I'm sharing five of my favourite hits from the 80's which I happened to come across during my radio channel surfing AWAY from the likes of contemporary – often unoriginal -mainstream pop music.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqTkxFJHrNw

Christopher Cross – Best That You Can Do

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsdj9NRzqC4

Starship – We Built This City

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFPajU-d-Ek

Belinda Carlisle Heaven is a Place on Earth

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhwk

Bon Jovi – Livin' on a Prayer

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

 

Like it? :D I do. Despite mocking "oldies" music as a rambunctious teenager back in the early 2000s, I now I finally understand how mom, dad, my uncles, aunts and late grandfather came to love and appreciate the music of their era, even till today.

As for me, I wouldn't be proud to say I came from the Justin Bieber-Adele-Nicki Minaj era. 

 

 

I don't rant very often on my blog, but when I do… it's about the garbage they call music now.

 

I ended my weekend by sending my third round of recycling materials/recyclables ever since I embarked on a lil personal project of being more pro-environmentalist and taking the green initiative whenever possible.

To reduce, reuse and recycle! 

 

I carried four boxes of recyclables – paper & cardboard, plastic, metal and glass.

 

They took everything BUT ACCEPTED NOT EVEN A SHARD OF MY GLASSWARE!

HEY! If you didn't already know, glass IS recyclable too! 

 

 

I was visibly upset but still wasn't given an answer as to why glass is unpopular in recycling efforts

On another note, it's already the second week of 2013!

 

Schedule's looking pretty busy already.

 

Have you been keeping to your New Year's Resolutions so far? :D

If not, it's not too late! Endeavour to succeed in them throughout the next 51 weeks!

 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

Photos + Videos! Peter Pan The Musical Gala premiere 2010 @ Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater

December 3, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Think of Christmas, think of snow,

Think of sleigh bells off you go!

 

So this was it. When I was extended an invite to Peter Pan : The Musical Gala, I couldn't be any more ecstatic as the Disney girl in me insisted I attend this!

The last time I ever watched Peter Pan was when I was… say, 6 years old or so?

 

 

And now, 15 years down the road, I am watching an adaptation of the early 1900 piece, 'Peter Pan – The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up', in a full-blown stage musical!

I arrived early at Sunway to avoid the massive jam! Had myself a cuppa double shot expresso mocha at the adjacent Starbucks while watching the cars roll in 🙂

 

 

Entering the vicinity of Sunway Lagoon, we were given an option of whether to jump aboard the buggy or take a 5 minute stroll to the Amphitheater itself. Clearly from the pictures above, no prizes for guessing which choice I made!

Heck, if I were wearing my trainers or flats I would choose the latter.

But since I was in heels, laziness got the better of me 😛 😛

 

 In the buggy! 🙂

Which was pretty fun and windy ride that reminds me of my Tioman Island trip

(zomg just remembered I haven't blogged about it yet!)

 

 

Arriving the entrance of Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater!

 You can see the amphitheater seats in the background!

Was kinda early so the crowd hasn't begun rolling in yet

 

 

Was ushered to my seat, yay for front rows! 🙂 The red zone.

Here's the very pretty set-up all ready for the show to kickstart at 8PM

 

 

Lights, camera, action!

Oh, and is that London's famous Big Ben clock tower? 🙂

 

By golly, it is!

 

Soon, more and more people began filling up the seats.

Spotted some of the usual faces coming in and also ushered to the same zone as I was 🙂

 

 Saved a seat for buddy Anis right beside me!

 

Bok was waiting beside me too before Serge took up the seat

 

Hmmm.. okay, waited quite long la actually. Heh 😛

It said 8PM on the ticket but that actually means 9PM acording to Malaysian timing LOL

 

 A sweaty and lethargic girl camwhoring while waiting. Faster begin already!! 😀 😀

Key brass chain-necklace by Soak Republic

 

 

Finally the whole amphitheater was fullhouse!

 

Okay, that was a whole lot of people. O__o

 

Chris Colby, the director of the entire production, then came forward to introduce himself and this musical to us.

Chris was really comical when he read out the formalities of "Datuk-datuk" and "Datin-datin" (titles to adress the local bigshots) and tried pronouncing other Malay words like "Majlis Bandaraya Subang" "Majlis Bandaraya Sri Petaling" (city councils) and the like.

 

Very good try nonetheless!!

 The man himself whose brainchild we were about to watch, Chris Colby!!

 

And it began with a blast!!

Ice blast, more of. It started snowing foam down the stage as a bunch of delightful dancers and main talents began their performance.

 

 

I vowed that when I set foot in the United Kingdom next year, Imma spend my first ever White Christmas there!

 

 

The musical got the ball rolling with a very popular Christmas song, 'Sleigh Ride'.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing~
Ring ting tingle-ing too~
Come on, it's lovely weather~
For a sleigh ride together with you~



 

Outside the snow is falling~
And friends are calling "You Hoo"~
Come on, it's lovely weather~
For a sleigh ride together with you!

 

 

That's one of my fave Christmas songs ever 🙂

 

 

Wendy Darling, the co-star looked really beautiful and chirpy on stage!

 Just like how she was portrayed in Disney's version of Wendy 🙂

 

 

If I recall correctly, there were altogether more than 10 songs sang and danced to!

 

 

The famous London West End theater professional actors and actresses did a fabulous job dancing, twirling, hopping, skipping and singing to the music! Trust me, I know exactly how tiring it is.

I've been in a theater production several years back myself and hell yes, all the rehearsing and practice sessions drained the life of me 🙁

 

 

Wendy was having fun immersed in her colourful imagination of music, laughter and joy when Mr. Darling knocked on the door.

Oh no! It's father!

 

 

 

Mr. Darling was portrayed as the strict and stern father figure, taking no nonsense from Wendy as she tells her stories of fairies, the Lost Boys and a boy who never grew up

He brushed her account of seeing a boy standing by her window as a figment of an imagination and tucked her into bed.

 

Wendy even showed her father Peter Pan's shadow much to his disbelief

 

On a side note: Poor thing! Like SERIOUSLY? Which father won't be alarmed when there is a MALE standing at his DAUGHTER'S window AT NIGHT?

Ya know, if my dad ever did that to me in real life I'd probably ask him, aren't you worried that this boy will kidnap and rape me or something? Pfftt.

 

 

Ok reality check over 😛 Back to Neverland please!

 

 

 

So the sad Wendy obviously not being able to sleep, still harboured wishful thinking about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

She talked to her dog, Nana – of which was also portrayed excellently!

 

Walt Disney's image of Nana

 

It was also pretty hilarious to think that there was actually a person inside a furry St. Bernard costume!

The recorded barking sound was played in sync with the person inside acting all frisky and replicated any doggy-antics 🙂

 

 

Hi Nana!! 🙂 🙂

 

Peter Pan then came into the scene, standing by Wendy's window ledge with his hands on his hips.

He was looking for his shadow that he left behind; which I find rather strange, to have a shadow detached from a person. 😀

Well, it has been this way since the 1915 version!

 

Wendy then reattaches Peter Pan's shadow by sewing it back on his body (!!!!)

 

As shown from the ancient illustration below

 

After Wendy finished putting it all back, the very eggcited Peter Pan calls out his signature cock-a-doodle-doo!

 

 

Peter then begins to adjourn home and asks Wendy to come along with him.

But.. how?

 

FLY, OF COURSE!

All it takes is faith and trust, and just a little bit of pixie dust 🙂

 

But… where does Peter Pan live? Where on earth is Neverland?

You don't need no GPS nor Google Maps because…

 

… "it's just the 2nd star to the right, and straight on 'till morning!" 🙂 🙂

 

How nice if I were to tell my friends where I live and easily go "It's just the 2nd house to the right and straight on 'till you see a 7-11!"

*envisions self pointing to a far distance*

 

So what are you waiting for, Wendy?

Won't you fly with me? 🙂

 

Up up up they go to Neverland!

 

Question is, what happened to Wendy's 2 other brothers, John and Michael?

Maybe they just dissolved into thin air or disintegrated into pixie dust for unknown reasons. Hmm… Just kidding!

 

We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!

 

Yes you can fly. Now, here's a video 🙂

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eioff6yz_VI

Thanks to Anis for lending me her camera! xoxo

 

 

Random shot of the cocky and mischievous Peter Pan amongst the giant mushrooms 🙂

 

This is Mr. Smee! 🙂 Captain Hook's pirate sidekick

He went "HIYA FELLAS!" and we all had to go "HIYA SMEEEEEE!!"

 

Smee steering Hook's ship!

Another dance session and a pretty cool pirate-ish song played 🙂

 

 

 So now we have all the pirates…

 

 

…but where's Captain Hook himself?

 

 

I wonder. Come on out, Hook! Arrrrr!!!!

 

 

Suddenly, a loud thunderous cackle reverberated through the amphitheater and spotlights were on Captain Hook at the very same entrance we used to come in! The crowd applauded with excitement.

 

 

This sinister character was bellowing his dramatic, evil laughter upon his appearance.

Oooh. I'm so scared.. but could I borrow your hook to hang my laundry? 😛 😛

 

 

He was pretty gung-ho, cruel and nasty.

Very much what I remember of Captain Hook from my younger days!

 

 

He hears of this Wendy person Peter Pan brought to Neverland, and hatched this diabolical plan to kidnap her and make her their mother instead of Pan's.

But why would you need to kidnap young girls and make her your mother, Hook? You should be ashamed!

 

Take a look at yourself, you fully grown man! *wags accusing finger* 😛 😛


But regardless of whatever logic there is, his minions agreed in unison with his plan.

 

Hurrah!!! We're gonna kidnap Wendy!

 

And they did.

 

Oh but wait, take a close look at Captain Hook's facial expression!!!

 

Bwahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing. 😛 😛

 

So he went on and on threatening Wendy but OH NO!

 

Hold it just a sec – what's that sound I hear?

Ticking? Tick tock tick tock goes the clock

 

The frightened Hook was so alarmed that he summoned Smee to be on the lookout for the crocodile.

 

Why is Hook so afraid of crocs?

If you didn't know, you sure don't know your Disney well! 😛 😛 Go find out! 😀

 

Hellllooooo crocodile!

 

There was also a person inside the croc outfit which I presume *could* be the same person playing Nana? Hehe. And I don't know if it's of any coincidence but Crocs Malaysia happens to be one of the sponsors of this musical! 🙂 🙂

 


It was also pretty silly and hilarious watching a crocodile standing and walking on 2 feet, shaking hands with Tiger Lily and her red Indian clan!

I remember laughing so hard at the crocodile's antics! 😀 hahaaha

 

Yay Wendy is rescued!!

*claps*

 

Wendy kinda has this crush on Peter which is fairly obvious in Disney's cartoon as also in this musical adaptation.


Hey woman, take it from me. He just wants you to babysit him and the Lost Boys so don't get your infatuation nor hopes too high up! 😛

After all, he's the boy that never grows up…

 

and is a carefree and free-spirited soul.

What will happen when you're all old, wrinkly and menopausal when he's still swiftly flying around?

 

Ain't gonna work out.

 

Peter Pan and the Lost Boys! 🙂

 

I love how they were frolicking with each other telling each other bedtime stories and jokes

 

Oh, and if any of you were wondering where Tinkerbell was….

She was there! She was there with us during the musical too!

 

 

Just… well.. in a form of a bright ray of yellow/green light and her signature tinker-sounds. Because obviously, no one was small enough to play her – not even a child. Look, she's only slightly bigger than a keyhole!

But! Something bad happened to her. Tinkerbell was dying and the only way to save her was to believe in fairies (!!!) O_o

 

Come on! We need everybody! Even the moms and dads out there!

You have to believe! Clap your hands so she can hear you!

 

So yeah, we all clapped as hard as we could.

And she was alive again! Yay. Heh. Actually, I watched this scene in Disney's version too where Tinkerbell's life was coming to an end because people didn't believe her existence. LOL. No comments 😛

 

There was a scene where the malicious Captain Hook kidnapped Tiger Lily too!

Good lord, can you stop kidnapping young girls already? hahaaha 😛

 

He tied her to a rock

 

and Peter Pan our hero for the night, came to her rescue!!! 🙂

They engaged in a swashbuckling swordfight.


Tiger Lily was saved and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

*Narrator takes a sip of water*

 

All's well, ends well! 🙂 🙂

 

Bye everybody! ;(

 

More and more Christmas songs filled the amphitheater as the entire cast came forward for their last song and dance.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpCl4gjq1xA

 

And guess what!? It was snowing again! 🙂 🙂

 

 

This time, it was a blizzard! 😀

It snowed not just onstage but ALL OVER US TOO!

 

 

Then it got rather chilly and all of us had "snow" foam on our heads and bodies

 

Don't know why you can't see it on me but there… look at the picture below!

 

The man sitting in fronta me had mega-dandruff on his head! 😛

LOL I jest! It was the "snow" foam. Lots and lots of them on his shoulders too

 

 

I must say, that I had a fantastic time.

Not many people would know how to appreciate musicals but if you happen to be a fan of stageplay or were to be (or have been) in the theatrical scene, you would be able to judge this abridged version as a splendid one.

All I can say is, loosen up, sit back, relax and enjoy the magic of this show.

 

 

Peter Pan : The Musical Gala will be shown every single day (except Tuesday) from the 26th November 2010 until the 2nd January 2011.

5.30PM on weekdays + Sunday and an extra 8PM one on Fridays and Saturdays!

Adult tickets range from RM60-Rm140 while tickets for children range from RM40-RM100.

To purchase your ticket, call 03-5639000 or visit www.sunwaylagoon.com for more

 

Trust me, it will leave you enchanted 🙂

 

Here's the whole cast posing for a group photograph! 🙂

 

I was kinda heartbroken when Adrian Soo -CEO of Sunway Lagoon- initially announced that only the children were allowed to take photos with them. Like… WHAAAIII???? I thought we were children too, somewhere deep down inside!

What happened to never growing up in Neverland?

 

I was so sad that I thought this was the closest I could ever get to them in a photo

 

But I was wrong!! After the stampede of children had subsided, Adrian then invited the media up onstage for a very own up-close-and-personal session with the whole cast, crew, producers and directors 🙂

Thank goodness I didn't leave yet!

 

Wendy is so beautiful in real life and was indeed a darling! 🙂

 

The guy with the amazing voice plays the adorable Peter Pan!

He was so gracious, very sweet and informative too when I asked him a few questions 🙂

 

Also, I got to take pictures with the Director and the Dance Choreographer themselves!

 

The men you see flanking me are the masterminds of this superb musical! 🙂

Great job

 

Had a lil chat session with them and I was told that this entire musical took a total of only 3 weeks at most to be rehearsed. Long days and long nights, but it was sure worth it! 🙂

They also shared with me that the main cast had been working with them for many stageplays already and that auditions were held right here in Sunway Lagoon itself for the rest of the cast, especially the dancers!

 

Took some time camwhoring with the stage props and setting too 😛

 

Yes I'm getting ready for Christmas already… presents anyone? 😀 😀

 

The overgrown child with the overgrown mushrooms 😛

 

More overgrown children!

 

Girls just love to have fun, no? 😀 😀

Just think of a wonderful thought, any merry little thought… and we'll be able to fly, right?

 

Well at least that's what Peter Pan told us!

Whee! Feeling like a little girl again at Peter Pan : The Musical Gala premiere

December 1, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Hey hey! 🙂

If you've been following my tweets you would have already known that I was in Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater just a few days ago to witness Peter Pan The Musical. Needless to say, I enjoyed myself so very much!

Courtesy of Nuffnang, I was extended an invitation to catch this show on the very first day itself 🙂

 

It was a spectacular "magical" show with lotsa swashbuckling action that lasted for slightly over an hour

 

When I was browsing through the photographs I shot from this event and even after filtering them all, it STILL totaled up to 100++!

Ohnoes.

Looks like imma have to take some time -probably a day or two- as I have to process them all first

 

But no worries!

Here are a few for you dearies to see first 🙂

 

The next post will be a massive one, with over 100 pictures and a video to boot

I've so much to tell you guys all about it!

 

Watching it made me feel like a little girl all over again. Singin' along to the chirpy songs, laughing at silly antics, participating in whatever the characters told the audience to do.. and more!

 

T'was an amazing show setting in the Christmas mood already 🙂 🙂

 

Oh and the best part was… SNOW :D:D

It was snowing during a few parts of the snow and it did get a tad chilly at some point!

 

I got to take pictures with the cast hailing from London's famous West End theater district! They were such a friendly bunch to talk to.

Stay tuned, aight? Can't wait to show you too! Loves

 

 

Anything and everything Disney never fails to keep

the little girl in me a very happy one indeed!

Goodbye my dear trusty ol' Blackberry….

November 26, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

….and helllllllloooooo to the new one!!!

 

What. You actually think I would say goodbye to the Blackberry for good? Pffftt. No way,  not ever in the world I will not. Affirmative!

I live and breathe Blackberry, one would say that my BB is already part of my anatomy – albeit a digital one.

 

It can be my other lung, although I already have 2. Or my other kidney?

No wait, I already have a pair of that too. Ohwell, my other heart!

 

Ahhyes. My BB is like a constant heartbeat to me. Even as I walk the malls, jog in the park or even take a dump, it would be fixated into the grip of my palm.Yup, a permanent fixture… one that is there to stay for good (and evil)! 😛

 

So much so that theboyfie and mom reprimanded me with

"KEEP YOUR BERRY IN YOUR POCKET FIRST LAH HAIYOH!!"

 

I think the only time I ever let go of it is when I'm swimming, taking a shower or involuntarily loosen my grip on it when I change sleeping positions.

 

Clearly it's with me when I do my revisions too.

(I know my BB usually matches my outfit. That's the whole point!) 😀

 

So naturally, I did feel a little pinch when I had to say goodbye to my trusty Blackberry Curve 8520 that has been serving me for a good 1 year. If you were wondering, no, there was nothing wrong with it at all.

The only reason why I really wanted to change it was that it did not have built in flash for the camera nor an autofocus mode. Being a photojunkie (sometimes lazy to lug around my DSLR and gear) and very active on my Twitter timeline, I could really use a waayyy better mobile camera.

 

 

And finally! Saved up enough to upgrade to a newer one, the Blackberry Bold 9700 aka BB Bold 2 (on the left)

Shot taken just before I sold off my previous BB Curve to a new owner

 

On a random note, ya know what was really strange? The fact that when my buyer and I met up for the Cash on Delivery (COD) method, he was a young adult that came out from a swanky BMW 5 series walking towards me.

First thing that crossed my mind was… huh? If he could afford that fancy-schmancy pricey ride, why couldn't he afford to buy a brand new Blackberry? Like the BB Torch 9800? What gives? What do you think?

 

 

Realizing that it doesn't matter as it was none of my business, I brushed my curiosity aside.

It was already a done deal anyway.

 

 

Came back home and had my new Blackberry Bold 2 customized back to red again, here's a piccie of it all done up.

 

PLEASE IGNORE THE UGLY SHINY FLOWER ON MY BB WALLPAPER

Of all themes, I selected a theme that disallowed me to change the wallpaper on the homescreen -___-"

 

 

I picked that theme because it made all my font red in color as well as all the icons, highlights and everything else red. Loves!

But yes, on the downside, this theme had me stick with the girly ANIMATED shiny rose for 4 days before I couldn't stand the living daylight of it.

 

Doesn't it look so much better with the backlight switched off? 😀

 

So… needless to say, I switched to another somewhat reddish theme that didn't force me to put a stupid flower on the main screen.

It has been 1 month with my new BB now and I'm proud to say it has kept me very happy throughout. *skips with glee*

 

oh and a pluspoint, I can *finally* capture memorable pictures in clubs now!

Whoops don't exactly remember this photo being taken. Probably too intoxicated on my last trip to Zouk LOL

 

Anyway, during my cruise trip with thefockers last week – coming soon, I promise! –  I couldn't help to notice that my cousins and I all had funky Blackberries, customized to our liking! 🙂 🙂

 


 

So glad I introduced them to my friend Eric of HausofBiB

Yes grrr.. I know he kept changing the name so many times from BlackberryHousing to BerryAddictions to this but yeah, it's the same guy okay peeps? His name is Eric Soong and be sure to look for him if you need to jazz up, bling up or pimp your ugly plain BLACK Blackberry.


Okay that's a wrap for today! Imma head down to Sunway in a bit to attend Peter Pan The Musical which is gonna be happening in Sunway Lagoon Amphitheater! Thank you Nuffnang for the invites 😀 😀 Can't wait to see Peter, Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and the rest!

 

What can I say? Ima Disney girl at heart
