UFC and Motorcross

2009-07-14T08:05:00.012+08:00

My weekend of sports...

Saturday :Lounge, relax and watch the fights with my family.

It's so much fun when everyone gets together, munch on chips and pizza and hit the bottle.

If you get a chance to watch the UFC100 you should it was very good.

Below is a preview of the the fights.

If you watch the video here is the result of the fight:

Bisping vs Henderson : Henderson won with a Knock out.
George St.Pierre vs Thiago : George St. Piere won ( Yeay! He is my fav. fighter , plus he is from canada)
Lesner vs Mir : Lesner won (dont want to mess with this big guy)

Sunday: Motor Cross

Left the house at 5:30 am to watch motor cross on a Sunday. We drove an hour to get to the tracks to watch my cousin Pam's boyfriend race.

I was very interesting and fun. Plus, alot of topless guy ;) ahaha It was my first time watching this sport in real life. This is a very expensive hobby, but the crowd turn up was awesome. There were about 150 racers at this event from the ages of 5 all the way up to 50 maybe. There were girls who raced too.I was so shock to see kids so young riding on their mini dirt bike going up and down the track. It looks easy but the outcome when something goes terribly wrong is insane. We witness an accident where a boy in his teens was jumping then his bike did a turn in the air he crashed and the racer behind him jump off the slope and crash right in to him. Luckily the boy didn't die but he had to ride in the ambulance to the nearest hospital.

Scott in his gear all ready to race

Group : Ages 7-8

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY
AZIM BO!

You're a year older,
And a lot more wiser;
It's that time of the year,
Best to share it with 'em peers.

May your dreams do come true,
And many other wishes too;
Hope you enjoyed the cappuccino pie,
Just wait, there are more to come before your eye.

Once again, as I bid goodbye,
I'd like to wish you one more time;
BO, HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY,
Just take a break, and enjoy your day!

It's yours.
You deserve it.

Love always,
Alicia

It begins with the typical Monday blues. Waking up was a terror. Dragging my feet out of the bed was hard to begin with, then realising my eyes were sealed. Literally. I shall not be descriptive as to how my eyes were 'sealed' because it will definitely gross you out. Got into the shower. Cleaned the eyes and decided to go to uni, at the same time monitor my eye condition.

Day went by fairly well. Eyes were tearing and then by mid-day, I had the flu. When nightfall, the sorethroat kicked in. I was in bad shape. And I was contemplating whether to go to uni the following day for a workshop. Tuesday morning came, things were a little "better" for my flu and cough except this time - my left eye and my left cheek swelled. I looked like the villain Two-Face. Bad. Bad. Bad.

And to top it all - Auntie Rose paid me a visit. Yes, out of all 31 days in May, Auntie Rose had to arrive that very morning. Giving me the worst cramps ever.
So there I was, things just can't get any better:
Swollen left eye
Swollen left cheek
Auntie Rose's appearance
Flu
Cough
Sorethroat

It seemed like each virus and condition were fighting for my attention. Utterly painful. Felt like stabbing my stomach. Felt like forking out my eye. Felt like scrubbing my entire lungs and throat. Felt like unscrewing my nose and throw it into the washing machine. Imagining the unimaginable.

By far the "best" week of the year.
Talk about being human.
That's human enough, alright.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Cough, cough.
Sniff, sniff.

I GOT MAIL !!!!

one of those days

2009-05-10T02:01:00.004+08:00

I'm having 'one of those days'. The reason why I called it as 'one of those days' is because it hits me gradually, and then I figure out, "Oh! It's one of those days!" So I woke up this morning, with a terrible headache. Thanks to the night before. Walked out of my room and found the house dead silent. Parents have gone to Malacca for a day trip. Joy.

And it was the best feeling ever. Not that I hate being with people around the house but I enjoy being home alone. So my 'one of those days' began at 11am. Didn't bother to freshen up myself, I head straight for the television. And there I was, being a typical couch potato. No lunch. No drinks. Just me and my TV. Watched marathon programmes one after another. From Friends to Australia's Next Top Model to THS.

Wished my parents could subscribe Nickeledeon, Cartoon Network and those Fun shows.
I'd feel like a kid again.
Cause I love cartoons!

Also, managed to watch DVD. Finally watched the movie, Taken. Been hearing such good reviews about it. Finally I am able to take time off and enjoyed it. Yes, it was a damn good move! BLOODY GOOD! I cried. I know I am a cry baby when it comes to movies. I can even cry when watching 'The Biggest Loser'. I feel the sudden sadness when I see those people sweating out and suffering through their workouts. It pays to be who you are, sometimes. Oh well...that's life.

My 'one of those days' just continued to be unproductive. More television. No one called me out. Maybe it was a sign to just stay home. Or maybe, nobody wants me. That showed a sign of paranoia kicking in. 'One of those days' just got me feeling a tad lonely. Well a tad, is a lie. I was damn lonely. Best friend was not online. The other best friend was out with her better half. And here I was, drowning my lonely sorrows in front of the television, just like how Rachel from Friends felt total lonesome when she heard Ross was getting married to Emily (one of the episodes I watched). Sigh.

But I must say, my 'one of those days' ended up pretty okay. I guess having some alone time to myself wasn't that bad after all. It did me well. Isolation is good at times.
I laughed.
I cried.
I danced.
I slept.
and best of all, I had time for me.

So it turns out, 'one of those days' is very much needed. However, I can't imagine having 'one of those days' everyday. I'd be a miserable fart. I need colours in my life.

Would you be my artiste?
Cause I am a canvas, waiting to be made into a masterpiece.

Holidays have begun. Nothing to shout about. Only 2 weeks. Heck, there is no difference. I still got 10 bloody journals pending and Marketing classes to attend. Sigh. All I want now is just a holiday. Basking under sun. Sipping on some chilled beers. And enjoy the sweet sound of the waves lapping against the sand. Wish it could all come true...

Currently, I am suffering from blog drought. Yes. It comes and go. 2nd year degree has obviously taken a toll on me. And to be honest, I am losing it. Assignments used to be fun. But now, it's more like an obligation. Well it has always been, still, the fact is I am sick and tired of rushing for datelines and brainstorming. It's mad! And they say Mass Communication is an easy course. Mark my words, endure what I am going through, then tell me that it is easy....cause I can assure you, you'll suffer as much!

Anyway, I have overdued pictures from events, night outs and birthday parties to share. Yupe, there's heaps of pictures! Capturing every moment possible :)

I'm sitting here on my toilet seat while being treated by my best friend, CrissyB who was absolutely darling enough to have agreed to help me dye my hair. Yes, I know...here am I doing something to my hair yet again. I've got hair issues. Can't seem to maintain and keep to one hairstyle.

I was really tempted to cut my 'already short hair' to even shorter. Don't bother asking why. Like I said, it's called issues. In the end, I resorted to just dying my freshly new black hair to Medium Auburn. We'll just have to wait for the end result.

Amidst with my many assignments, last night I finally managed to squeeze in some time for my social life. A friend of mine, MingWei invited me to a BAT (British American Tobacco) function at Upstairs, Loft. And boy, was I contemplating whether to go or not. IreneLove told me that I should go and treat myself. And I must thank her for saying that. So, I went. All I can say, no regrets!

BAT functions are off the hook. Bottles after bottles! Yes, bottles. A big thanks to MingWei for the invitation. I'm glad that I went and let loose. A much needed night after weeks of non stop devotion to my assignments. It was like a breath of fresh air.
Awesome company.

Free alcohol.
Free cigarettes.

quote of the day

2009-04-16T01:10:00.004+08:00

The broken hearted
The non believers of love

So I have finish reading Five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom. I must say it's a really good read. Mitch Albom's books never fails to serve one purpose - lessons in life. Yet another book he writes about the importance of living in this chaotic world. Whatever happens, it certainly happens for a good reason. I came across many intriguing and compelling quotes, that the author uses. One of which, he talks about love.

Ah yes, the very sound of the word "love". It just brings a sweet pitch to the ears, eh.
We need it.
We breathe it.
And obviously, we crave for it.

Quote of the Day:

Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around the dance floor. But when those senses weakens, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it...love doesn't end.

- Mitch Albom

It will never.
Because memory lasts a lifetime.

Pay it forward. It's a movie. It was based on a true story. When a person does a good deed to you, you pay it forward to 3 other people. That simply means you do 3 good deeds to 3 different people. I'd recommend to watch that movie.

Anyway, that's beside the point. I am intending to pay it forward. Not much to how the movie is, but on my own terms. My mission is to compliment 3 people each day, sincerely. I have successfully complimented 3 people today! Yes! And it feels good to see each of them smiling.

Why don't you join me on this mission?
You may not know, that compliment you give, might just make the person's day a lot better.
You know why?
Because everyone deserves a compliment.
Any sort of compliment!

So pay it forward.
Start complimenting!

And oh yeah, Happy Easter!

It has been 38 days already. No meat. Gone green. It's about time I savour some real food. Meat, precisely. I miss my Nando's, Spicy Ayam Goreng McD, Beef noodles and Chicken Rice. All which I have been deprived from almost a month now! So here comes Easter, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I miss celebrating Easter in Australia. A week holiday and hitting the beach. How nice. Abstaining from meat really took a toll on me. I feel food these days taste like crap. I wish I could have a platter of meat right now, before me. Care to join me on a meat fest? Oh well...at least God will be please with me, I managed to resist such temptations! A pat for myself.

Few minutes ago, as I entered my room, I felt something tingling in my nose. An immediate sneeze came out of that tingling feeling. And it continues...until now! I hate it when I have the cold! It's worse than fever. Your eyes gets watery. Your nose gets stuck. And you'll have this constant urge to sneeze, but nothing comes out of it. And sometimes, if you sneeze hard enough, you feel like you're having a head concussion (at least, that's how I feel).

So here I am lying in bed thinking why am I easily prone to getting sick. I've gotten sick more than twice this year. Needless to say, that is bad. I'm still young, and I'm getting sick so frequently. Makes me feel I'm in my 60s already. Ageing with constant sickness.

Do I have such low immune system?
Perhaps, it's the consequence of partying in the rain during F1 party?
Or could it be the condition of my room? Dusty, maybe?

No, no, no.

It has got to be - Vin Diesel!
Yes, watching Fast and Furious 4 was in smooth flow. No cold, no cough, just awed.
But as soon as I stepped back to reality. BAH!

It's as if Vin Diesel's hot-sexy-rocking body turns on my "nose tap"!
He makes me wet.
He defines what a man is to me.

Oh yes, Puma Ferrari 09 finally ended. I'd say is by far the best Puma event I've ever attended. Others were average. Puma has went up a notch to throw a good event. This time around: better crowd, impressive "do" in the club, good food and alcohol. Needless to say, the place was hot as hell. Frangipani's really need to fix more air-conditioning! And erm, their floors. The flooring suited the bathroom, if you know what I mean.

And oh, there were a lot of beautiful people and cars. Yes, beautiful would be an understatement. Eye candies were everywhere. Guy or girl or car. Damn, they were good looking. I'll do them all! Malaysia needs more events like these. With pretty people. And of course, much to everyone's content - alcohol.

WARNING: I AM RANTING
I'm sure many of you heard about the Earth Hour move. Initially, I was one of those that was very gung ho about getting involve. Spreading the news, wanting to go for the blackout party and what not. But then a friend of mine told me something and it really hit me. Got me thinking....

First of all, I'd like to say:
EARTH HOUR WAS BULLSHIT! (in Malaysia, that is)
On that very night, was driving pass Bukit Bintang, and guess what? My expectation would be, oh it's going to be dark - heck no, it was fucking bright! BEAMING BRIGHT! It didn't seem at all that Malaysia was one of those country involve in the movement.

Although, Malaysia's intentions were good about saving power and energy. Fight for the environment, but think again. Really, do we need to start on mother earth when we can't even solve our own country's social problem.
RAPE
ROBBERY
MAT REMPITS
SNATCH THEFT
just to name a few...though it's only a few, but these has caused chaos in the country!
Parents are fearing for every child's safety.
Females are no longer being respected.
Males are trying to protect their better halves.

So ask me why again are we doing Earth Hour? It didn't even turn out that great. Yeah, so what. Radio stations were screaming on and on about it. It's just one of those opportunities that they are taking to have a "celebration" - a Blackout Party, is one. Another way to make more money. Silly of us to even partake in such a thing.

A friend of mine pointed this out to me. Ever wondered why in the United States Earth Hour is held at 8.30am? Well, I would say they are smart. And Malaysians, as always, try to be "unique" have it at 8.30pm. Firstly, streetlights are on during the night and it is definitely a no-no to switch it off because of road safety. So then, why even bother having it at night? Next, electricity is most consumed during the day because of office buildings. They use massive amount of light and air-cond. Doesn't it make sense to switch of your lights during the day. Don't talk about households, but instead on a larger scale. Think about it. Personally, I think it makes a whole lot of sense.

And this is the most obvious, why switch off your lights in the night. You can't see shit! You can't eat! You can't do anything. It is as if we are under a State of Emergency. So here we are, eating in darkness (which is totally stupid and pointless because I had to use my mobile phone to look through the menu), and the Americans, are having a good time eating in light - yes, mother nature's light. Smart, aye? Using nature at its best!

I know my rant now would not make any difference as it has already happened. But I really needed to make a point. Show how silly we, Malaysians can get. The point of having Earth Hour is to start a revolution. A revolution whereby Earthlings would be more conscious and aware about switching on a plug. But somehow over here, it became a fiesta. And sadly, a failed one! I'd say, start with the obvious problems we have rather than be a sad disciple of the Westerners. Sigh.

That, that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet.

A beautiful silhouette standing, emitting a strong aura of confidence and satisfaction.
The silhouette grins at the audience as if it had won the game.
The audience stares at it in utmost envy and with full admiration.
But really, do they know?
Do they know the dark secrets of that black figuring standing in victorious?
Amidst the confidence and high self-esteem it holds the feeling of angst and loneliness secretly.

10 years has gone, why does it feel that way?
The pain and sorrow was never faced.
The silhouette believes that facing reality would arise more unwanted hears.
Is best to walk away.
But really, is that the answer?

There it was, erected on stage, all eyes on it.
That would not have made any difference.
A difference that could change the soul to great happiness.
A difference that could change the soul to be loved.
A difference that could change the soul to be appreciated.
Though it felt it before; but truly and dearly misses it.
And somehow, soon-to-be forgotten.

That silhouette prays day and night.

love of my life

2009-03-15T01:25:00.006+08:00

Well my name is apples and I rock your world,
I'm also known as the Gucci girl,
Well I'm super cute and plenty bad,
30-26-36 and a half,
I hope that you will realize,
I got the hazel eyes that'll hypnotize;
And knock you to your knees,
Make you eat cheese,
You'll be so helpless
You'll be beggin' me...please.

Currently feeling pleased about my weekend. It was pleasant and well utilised! Finally, got some errands completed!
Procrastination is quite a deadly poison, I'd say!

Anyway, have you been listening to Fly FM? Well, I'm sure if you are an avid Fly FM listener, you would have heard about a promo on Puma's upcoming Ferrari party (not Fly FM Cash Call!) at Frangipani's on April 3. It's a free flow party cum fashion show as well as performances by Arabyrd. And if you are lucky, you'll stand a chance to win F1 Grand Stand tickets on April 5. Want an invite? :D I have 3 invites to giveaway.

Recently, Puma had a press conference inconjunction with its 10th Anniversary in Motorsport and introducing the latest Puma Ambassadors, Leona Chin (FYI: She's a drifter) and Fauziah Latiff (FYI: Malaysian Idol judge and she rides a Ducati bike). Since I am working for them, I had a chance to be apart of it. My first involvement in organising and witnessing a press conference! Positive aspect of working in Puma besides the free merchandise, meeting with very important people and understanding the media industry.

A fact about media people: they are the most luckiest people in the world. The perks they get when attending events are absolutely amazing. When I found out the things they get from such events, I was flabbergasted. Fortunate creatures! Plus, the service we have to provide for them has to be excellent because if you upset the media, they will boycott the brand which simply means, no write-up also known as no publicity. Hence, you are digging yourself six-feet underground! So, for those who are in media industry, have a jolly good time! Just be as snobbish as you want, at the end of the day, your clienteles will suck up - regardless!

Behind the scene:

What's an event without lifting boxes?
The best part, getting down and dirty with it!
And when it turns out a success, you'll feel that sense of self-satisfaction!
Puma had a sample sale for the media. Told you they were lucky creatures! Sample sale are dirt cheap! And I mean seriously, DIRT CHEAP! 400 pairs of shoes laid out just for them to have a shopping haven! Also including, apparels, accessories, and bags!
What more can they ask, aye?
Cheap shopping spree, goodie bags, and on top of that, free lunch!
I chose the menu, thankfully, it turned out alright!
DJ Daryl B, Puma Ambassador also the emcee for the day

Christal, Leona Chin and I in Ferrari gear
Malaysian diva, Fauziah Latiff and I
My colleague, Sya.
And other colleagues, Ivy and Farah.

After much planning and many, many discussions, the press conference was finally executed! And it turned out well. Media was happy, boss was happy, celebrities were happy. The next thing to look forward for - Puma Ferrari Party! And then, my job will be partially done!

Yes, partially, the other event I can't speak of it just yet.
But hint, hint, it has something to do with pimp your car!
Think, Tokyo Drift!

Boo.

Now I totally get why some parents object the notion about their kids working. They have the tendency to forgo their studies. Once money is at hand, the world just seems to revolves around it and others are just being disregarded. But worry not, I'm not going to choose work over education. Just a random food for thought!

Life is great with both, for me!
Juggling is my expertise.

By the way, I had a kicked ass collabro birthday party! Closest friends were there to share it with me. And I could not ask for more, it was fun with a capital A!
You know what I mean!

Thankful that I am blessed with good company all the time. Be it with family or friends, I am truly grateful and deeply appreciated with what they have done for me on my most important day of the year. My birthday. I had it all. The pre-birthday, the "d" day, and soon-to-be post-birthday party.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who has wished me. Really, I thank you! On facebook, via text message or face-to-face, thank you all oh-so-much! A big thanks to my UntitledAffair girls, to my other darling girls, to my boys and everyone else for celebrating and ushering the turning of age with me. Yes, hitting 20 is a big thing! The word teen can be scratched out!

Bet you are wondering what I did, huh? On the eve, I had a birthday countdown cum karaoke session with my friends. Thank you Bobo, for organising and treating me to it! Later that night, my parents surprised me with a small gathering at a family friend's place. I was flabbergasted! Didn't know my parents were capable of scheming and cooking up a plan with my friends! Thank you Dixon, for being a good cheeky sport!

On the 3rd itself, I woke up feeling much excited as it was the first day of uni. However, the excitement drained out, thanks to my first lecture, Marketing. Let's just say, it was not very pleasant. But then again, my day got very much better. Thanks to my uni-mates! Yet, another surprise in stored for me. A surprise gathering at Starbucks, and followed by cutting of cake at Asia Cafe. I believe, I was centre of attention thanks to the "soft harmonic" singing of my friends.

Yes, she's my love!

Had to endure another lecture, Principles of Broadcasting. Yawn. Next on the agenda, my friends and I headed to Pyramid for a movie. Watched Role Models. I fell asleep! (Note: I beg you, don't watch this in the cinema. Everything was bloody censored! Just buy the DVD. It's a good laugh feel kind of movie). Guess I was just too tired from the long day after 4 months of crap-doing. Anyway, it was a splendid day out with my uni friends. Boy, I was one lucky girl!

One of those days, when you feel like you are a princess! I had that.

Nightfall, I went out for dinner with just the boys at Picadilly. It was a very chilled night out. Nothing extreme, just enjoying the ambience and food. Came home and called it a night! And that was how I turned 20! A happy ending, I would call it :)

What's next?
The post birthday party!

I'm going to die.

Once again, thank you to each and everyone!
I am truly blessed!

Ever felt much appreciated and loved by the people around you? I felt that today. I had one of those down days, and thankfully enough made plans with my UntitledAffair girls for dinner. Note: Thinking the occasion was to celebrate our business anniversary. The girls decided to go to Madam Kwan's for dinner in Bangsar. Arrived at the location and BAM! I see two darlings of mine sitting down with a lit cake and SURPRISE!

"HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, ALICIA!"

Yes, my first surprise pre-birthday for the year. What a way to welcome March 2009! I was beyond awe, no suspicions or whatsoever. It was a heck of a surprise. They paid for dinner. I, thank you girls a lot! And apparently, they had plan the whole night for me. I, thank you girls again! After dinner, we headed to La Bodega for drinks and taboo! Yeah, baby! My love for board games, which they knew. It was so much fun! I, thank you girls heaps!

A beautiful night well spent. From the company to the food to the unforgettable moments. They really made my night much brighter. I heart them!

I, thank you girls.

And so, it's currently lunchtime at work. Should be out and feasting on a good meal. But I am on my detox regime, it's best to keep on track since I have successfully detoxed myself yesterday! Been pissing and shitting regularly. And that is a good sign. At least I know, my system is working well!

Got 2 more days to go!

I'm feeling healthy already - ok, maybe it's just me psyching myself. Heck, at least I am doing something to keep healthy, right?

detox? not so.

2009-02-25T01:42:00.005+08:00

I'll make you beg for more.
Just cause I'm spontaneous!

***

Today was a good day. Work was good. Weather was awful but heck, the after-rain effect - awesome! Anyway, I tried detoxing for the first time. I read in an article there are many ways to detox oneself. The vege diet. The fruit diet. The water fasting. The juice fasting. The tea diet. I resorted to the tea diet. Suppose to be drinking tea the whole day - restrain from any solids. JUST TEA. Japanese Green Tea to be exact.

Fast forward my day, I failed to detox. I end up craving for Bawang Merah's Meehoon Soto and Blueberry cake. And yes, I had it for lunch. So detox day #1 - FAILED! I'm going to try it tomorrow again. And hopefully, I'll have the will power to resist any sort of temptations or cravings.

Why detox? Well, I've been feeling awfully bad. Restless, tired, insomniac and unhealthy. I guess I needed a change. Planning to stick to my tea regime for at least 3 consecutive days. I can imagine my colon filled with crap, most of it alcohol! Hence, I need to detox for my well being. Don't want to end up having a 40-year old body when I am only 20.

So since I'm starting this diet of mine, care to join me? Do it for the sake of living healthy! Let's detox! But take my advice, google about detox first before getting into it. Do it the right way.

This is why, I need to detox - badly!
You name it.
Alcohol is everywhere.
In many shapes, in many sizes, in many colours.
At many locations, occasions, and at times, for no whatsoever reason!

But at the end of the day, alcohol brings us together!
The person you may hate the most, might end up being your best companion for the night. That's because when alcohol takes control over you, you are not who you are anymore; until the next morning, you'll realise - in which all is forgiven and forgotten.

Now, that's the best thing about alcohol.
Getting high and feeling so fly.

I find myself an oddly person. A normal sane person would get a job as soon as the holidays kick in, but for me it was otherwise. Work began in February, for me. And because of that, I am tangled and stuck. Should I continue whilst studying? As some of you might not know, I am working with Puma Malaysia in the Marketing team. Puma intends to keep me with them, but I for one, a workaholic can't seem to say no to them. Seeing that the holidays are coming to an end, I need to quit at least ONE of my jobs.

Juggling work and studies is never an issue for me. However, looking at the amount of jobs I am having, only god knows I will have time for education. Or even time for myself! Needless to say, I do love all of my work and that is why I am hesitant to let go any of it.

Thanks for being there for me, for the advise and reality checks given along the way. From your actions I knew you cared. I will admit that you were right all along and I have been stubborn and hard headed. I couldn't accept it if i didn't take a chance. Now, I have fallen flat on my face , got bruised and lost hope. However, I am going to get up on my two feet with a different perspective of life thanks too you.. <>

Now put your hands up

Up in the club, we just broke up

Single yet again for another Valentine's day.. I have to admit had an awesome night out at the bar, partied with my friend Megan. Our friend who is a bar tender made us some great valentine "special " drink. I got tanked that's for sure. A certain someone did show up and made my day/night.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine whether you are in a relationship or single :)

the day of love

2009-02-15T17:47:00.003+08:00

Ah yes, the day of love - Val's day/ V day/ Valentine's day, whatever else you call it. It's the day where lovers show their feelings to each other and are being forced to shower each other with gifts. Obligations on Valentine's day. I pity men out there. Flowers for the ladies, dinner for the ladies, hotels for the ladies. It's the day where women get pampered, squeals of joy from receiving massive bouquet of flowers, dressing up for their men (sexy lingerie, costs a bomb!) and best of all, it's the day for just the two.

So here I am, a major sucker for love and all things romantic. Valentine's day has fallen on my feet and guess what? Endured my first Valentine's Day being single after many, many, many years. Well I must say, it was an experience! Not that there was any...but yeah, for the first time it was just weird altogether.

I must say, Valentine's Day is rather unfair. A day that does not favour the singletons. No, I am not being a pessimist about it, just stating the fact. Much to our expectation, we (the singletons) hope and pray for any sweet soul to be our valentine. On a random note, bars and clubs are using Valentine's day to earn extra income by organising singles party, speed dating and other money-making affairs. I can't believe they were charging cover charges on that day...sigh...some even, entrance fee. And that is why I personally think, Valentine's day isn't special anymore - too commercialised.

Anyway, back to my first-lonely-Valentine's-day. I treated it as just another Saturday. Sent my brother to the airport. He was leaving to Melbourne for his studies. Came home. And just drowned myself in movies. Watched three good movies in a row. Got out of my room and realised that it was already dark. Parents left the house for their own Valentine's day celebration. As for me, I had roti canai on Valentine's Day - alone - in my house - on my dining table. But during this lonely time at dinner, joy knocks on my door.

My phone rang. Answered it.
"Where are you?"
"At home. Why?"
"I'm outside, I have something for you"

Gleefully, opened my door. And there he was, holding a flower. Running late for his own date, he was nice enough to stop by and surprised me with a purple blooming flower. Thank you. Just for that moment I felt an inch of appreciation and love, but after that it was just back to me and my miserable roti canai. The night ended at Hello Bali, Sunway Pyramid with Kristen and I and a bottle of red wine. Not your average Valentine's Day huh!

As I remembered...girls use to compare how many flowers they got on Valentine's.
Here's my count.
Three.
From him.
From Mr. Anonymous.
From Kristen.

Thank you all.
It made me feel special!

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all . .

~ Quoted from Snow white~

Have you ever looked into a mirror and see what you kind of person you have become? Reflect on the past and see how much you have changed or matured. Is this really you or something influenced you to become like this..? Chasing something you want so much can make you act without thinking.. Once the deed is done you sit at say to yourself who have I become?

The weekend was good. Celebrated a friend's birthday at Port Dickson. Will blog about that in more detail on my next post.

Anyway, currently having this dilemma. Well not quite a boy-girl dilemma or family problems but I am trying to decide what to do about my hair. I really need a haircut badly. I have the tendency to change my hair often. And this time around, I am tempted to go bald. But no one seems to be giving me any support. Got a feeling I might not do it in the end - temptations and guts are there but without any greenlight from my friends, guess not.

Francais.. une belle langue

2009-02-04T10:54:00.006+08:00

Bonjour, Comment allez-vous?
Je suis en train de prendre des cours de français à l'Université de Winnipeg

Translation:
Hello, How are you?
I am currently taking french classes at the University of Winnipeg.

French , Francais...
The grammar of this language gives me a headache. Why can't it be as simple as the English language...
For example, The spelling of one word can change depending on how its used.
The main word etre but when used, the spelling differs.. damn
Je (I) = suis
Tu (you) = es
Vous (you) = etes
Il (he) = est
Elle (her)= est
On (it)= est
Nous (we) = sommes
Vous (a group)= etes
Ils (guys)= sont
Elles (girls)= sont
None of the word looks like the original word . That's not the only issue, have you heard of feminine and masculine word? :S this is hard, but anyways i will stop here..

Monday is not my favourite day of the week. I always have a hard time starting my week after the weekend. The day at work went by fairly quickly..Cant complain about that. After that, I went to check out a shoe/handbag boutique near my house.. Saw this pair of nine west heels.. loved it, but somehow hesitated to buy it as it was slightly pricey. Came home and discovered that my laptop fail me.. The stupid thing couldn't on. The lights came on as well as the processor's fan but my screen was pitch black.. I wasn't a happy camper that evening.. As i tried and tried to turn it on.. I started getting frustrated because i had a lot of pictures in it and its going to cost me $$$ to fix it or buy a new on. Then, I decided to watch sex in the city to relax. Not happening.Went to bed at 8. The funny thing was as I was trying to fall , I taught it would be so funny if i tried turning it on in the morning and it worked.AND IT DID... Weird huh.. That's my lame story :P

Attention Girls and guys (if you like Chic-flick)!!! Movie alert!!I cant wait to watch these 3 movies opening this month :

3 states in 13 hours

2009-02-01T02:07:00.007+08:00

It started with one phone call from a friend, Kristen on Thursday, 29 Jan at 10.30pm:
"Babe, what are you doing?"
"Working, why? You?"
"I'm working also. Wanna go Port Dickson after work?"
"You mad ah?!"
"I am bored, let's go please..."
"Er...okay!"

And so, the rest was history. It just happened. Yes, we are mad! After Euphoria, went to Kristen's house, changed and off we went. The victims: Anthony, Joo and me. A pit stop to 7-11 to stock up much needed essentials - food, alcohol and cigs. And the journey began at approximately 4am. In the car:

The entertainer for the night, I must say.

Arrived safely to Port Dickson. We drove about looking for a good spot. Settled on a beach. Laid the blanket. And the fun began. So, what do 4 random people do on an empty beach at 5am? Well, all we had were playing cards and our clothes on. And guess what? Another crazy friend of mine, Joo decided to play STRIP POKER. Yes, I repeat STRIP POKER. Again - STRIP poker. I looked at Kristen. Kristen looks at me. Heck, we agreed to terms.
(1) Guys strip to their boxers
(2) Girls strip to their lingeries. (think, bikini!)
(3) Accessories are considered a part to strip.
(4) Loser has to strip.
And then, the game began...mind you, the weather was chilly! What more can I say about the game...I'll leave the pictures to do the talking. Note: Some pictures are disturbing.

First person to strip, Anthony!
Second, Kristen!
And again, bottom's out!
Don't worry, he had his undies on.
Next up, bottom's off for her! Yes, Kristen 'it's exhausting being fabulous!'
Then, came Joo.
Note: He striped his pants before the game even started.
I guess he wanted to strip badly. Hence, he suggested the game.
The game ended with 3 very half naked people on the beach!
And yes...you wonder where am I?
I AM THE WINNER!
My clothes were on the entire time.
The only things that were striped off were my ring and bracelet.
I had a good laugh!
After a mild wild game of strip poker. We changed it to DARE POKER. Loser has to perform a dare given by the winner. Clearly, the 3 of them were waiting for me to lose in hope to dare me to strip. And I have to admit...they succeeded!

No difference.
I still stripped in the end.
Sigh!
We played till the sun came up. After that, we just relaxed. Listened to the beautiful sound of the waves. Enjoyed the random moment. Tasted the salty air. The girls talked. As for the boys, one slept. One walked.

By 9am, our stomachs were demanding for food. We decided to leave the beach. Packed our stuff and headed to the car. The initial plan was to eat at Port Dickson and head home. But guess what? We ended up in Malacca an hour later! We thought, since the trip was random and crazy, we might as well go all out for it.

What's more? We generously went to pick another friend up from MFA. Nicholas. And he took us to eat the famous 'chicken rice ball' in Malacca town.

After lunch, we called it a day and FINALLY, decided to go home. Home sweet home - Subang Jaya! Come to think of it, I felt that this random trip was much needed. It's been too long since I've done crazy things like this. It was exhausting but somehow, I loved it! Nothing beats being in 3 states within 13 hours.

And they say, the world is small.
It surely is!

am i an old cow?

2009-01-28T03:46:00.003+08:00

You must be wondering why am I referring myself to an animal. Worst of all, a cow. In my lowly days, like today...I usually find myself comfortably tucked in at home and not wanting to step outdoors. Hence, I resort to lying in bed all day with good movies and comforting food. You might be wondering what does my activity for the day has anything to do with me being an old cow, right?

Well, I was watching this old chick flick film, Someone Like You. Ashley Judd. Hugh. Jackman. And Greg Kinnear. Found it in my dad's DVD collection. And since, I've watched almost every DVD in the house...I might as well watch the film since I have not seen it yet. Which I'm sure some of you might have. So you'll know what I am actually talking about.

I shall not bother to tell you the synopsis of the film. However, what I want to mention is that the film did bring up some very good theories about men. I must say, the film is very feminist with a twist. The show depicts men as cows - male cows, to be precise also known as bulls. Apparently, the theory states that a bull will never mate a female cow twice. Once the bull has "done" the female cow, it is known as an old cow. Therefore, leaving the bull to mate a new cow.

Similarly, in the movie it shows that men are like bulls. Do one. Yawn. Leave old. Take new. So this movie got me thinking...does it really apply to reality? I have heard of stories whereby some guys do actually act like bulls. Don't worry I am not stereotyping men...what I am trying to say is that, will it happen to me? Me, being the old cow? Or me being the new cow, and then becoming old? I'm too young to even be thinking about this things. Somehow, the movie just got me thinking...it's good to be the new cow, but heck, it wouldn't make any difference because you'll end up being the old cow! So what then...will I ever meet a "true bull"?

or can I just be a sheep?

Well, as promise my 1st blog on this site. For those who dont know me, I am tiffany and I currently live in Canada.

Here is my story...

I have been busy the pass six nights.. Its insane but I shall not complain. Yesterday, I went to Stereo,an old nightclub that had been renovated with a new high polish image previously known as phroahs. Its freaking crazy on a saturday, what i mean by that is the line up for this place starts at 8:30 pm.. who goes to the bar at that hour? Damn I sure did, my friends and I got there about 8:50 pm. and there was a bloody long lineup. 3 party busses..damn. We linedup for 20 minutes in the -30 something weather. Oh was our feet frozen. Its pure touture for those who were wearing short dresses and not wearing stockings. That was way to bad start the night. But after that, the night went great . The place was pack and the music was great. See one thing unique about this bar is that they have plasma tv and projectors all over the bar almost every inch. Every so often they will zoom in on people on the dance floor and you can see yourself on the wall all over the bar if you are lucky.

This is the funny part. They played this song called" I like big butts and I cannot lie " they zoomed in on girls asses that were dancing on the booty box. However, girls here wear really really short dresses . So, there was this girl who was dancing and shaking her ass not knowing that her ass was projected on to the walls all over the bar and everyone who was looking can see her underwear depending on how she shaked. Sadly, she turned around and we could see her butt checks.. oh boi.. she is lucky cause half the people there was drunk or tipsy. So embrassing.

The bar had maybe about 1,000 people. So, we decided to get out coats an hour before the bar closes. It took us 50 minutes to get our coat. Brutal, standing in line getting restless , feet in pain, squash... not a good thing. It killed the night. I am definately not going to that bar again until summer comes along.. All in all we did have a good time..

where are all the good men?

2009-01-26T02:07:00.002+08:00

Currently watching 'I pronounce you Chuck and Larry' and I am intrigued to a line in the movie.

"It's true that all good men are either married or gay!"

insomniac

2009-01-24T06:01:00.003+08:00

Two posts, back to back. Wow. What an improvement in blogosphere for me. It used to take me weeks after weeks to think of something to blog about.

Purpose of blogging now:
I think I am suffering from insomnia. Yes, I think I really am having this sleeping disorder. I can't seem to fall asleep. Apparently there are 3 types of insomnia - transient, acute and chronic. I feel like I belong to transient and acute insomnia. By the time I do fall asleep the sky is turning blue. I have issues!

I did try various ways to fall asleep:
Eating excessively.
Sheep counting.
Watch tons of movies.
Music to put me to bed.
Comfort of my best friend's rants.
Alcohol aka somewhat not sober.
Russ (my smelly ol' soft toy).
Clean sheets.
Abuse of Facebook (still not sick of it).

None works. Sigh.
I need a sleeping remedy.
Help!

Something you should watch if you are a big fan of Boyz II Men.
I am currently listening to aspiring young singers that are trying to make it in the entertainment industry. These 3 guys - AJ Rafael, Bryan Keith and RuSoul are starting their fame on YouTube. Also, please, please, please YouTube Gabe Bondoc and Passion. I fell in love with them.
This is beyond love at first sight.

friends

2009-01-23T21:01:00.005+08:00

What can I say about them?

Being with a special someone is much different than being with a bunch of crazy friends.

Friends are people you act silly with and they don't really care.
Friends are people who knows your weaknesses and strengths.
Friends are people that bring out the best in you.
Friends are people you can rely on.
Friends are people who hates you at times.
Friends are people you might end up falling for.
Friends are people you adventure with.
Friends are people you discover "life" with.
Friends are people you share your darkest secrets with.
Friends are people that bring you back to reality.
Friends are people you grow up with.
Friends are people that understand you. (even parents can't do that!)
Friends are people you do shit with.
Most importantly, friends are people you can count on.

reunion?

2009-01-20T23:32:00.002+08:00

Yet another festive season. This time around of red and gold. Chinese New Year, to be precise. Sadly, this year CNY wouldn't be as great as the others. CNY is for families to come together and celebrate the auspicious moment amidst with good food and ang pau packets. As for me, this year would be a dull one.

I won't be going back to my hometown, Malacca. So no family visits for the maternal side, and as for the paternal side, no one is around. My dad's entire family has left to down under. Hence, Chinese New Year will never be the same. Is true what they say, as you grow older, the tradition dies off.

But on the plus side, gambling would be one of the reason to look forward for Chinese New Year. And plenty of open house...I hope.

On a random note, I can't wait for my classes to commence. The 4-months holiday has really drained my body and mind. Sleeping late, waking up at odd hours, bumming around. Basically, doing everything and anything unproductive. I just need to do something - earn money would be great. Seeing that I spend more than I earn!
I need a life.

less than perfect

2009-01-10T11:23:00.002+08:00

To say that I have a perfect life would be the biggest lie.
I started young. Young and naive.
Did not know it could hurt this bad but yet, I'm trying to make the best out of everything.
They always say, one will only learn his/her lesson until it actually happens.
Fair enough, it did.

I'm numb.
When will I ever know?

Believe it or not?
My life is less than perfect...that is a fact.

hello

2008-12-22T04:17:00.002+08:00

It's been approximately 3 months since I last blogged. Needless to say, I got lazy. Really lazy. So yes, I've been missing from blogosphere but no worries, I've been around and still kicking. As soon as the holidays started, I just went all out. Hallelujah! Aside from drinking and partying every other day for the past 2 months, I finally gotten a part-time job.

I'll be working with NTV7's patrol team (somewhat like Hitz cruisers) come January 2009. Hooray! Something that I am very much keen to do. Events. Events. Events. Plus side of it, I'm getting paid! Ah...nothing beats getting paid and attending events at the same time.

Anyway, it's that time of the year. Christmas is coming. And so as the New Year. Gosh, 2008 just flew by. It was just yesterday when I celebrated my 19th birthday and now in 3 months time, I'm turning the big 20! I'm losing the "teen". Geez. Not sure whether I should feel good about that. Usually I am so comfortable being a "teen" because of my size. But after thinking it through, saying "I am 20" just doesn't seem to jive with my physical attributions. Oh well.

So every year I have this New Year Resolution thing in which I pray to always achieve. This time around I don't think I will be making a resolution list because I will not end up doing it. Hence, I have decided, I will just go with the flow. Things I intend to change/improve/eradicate/grow/etc I will gradually do it unconsciously. In that way, I wouldn't feel guilty if I do not achieve what I am suppose to.

foul mood

2008-10-31T02:19:00.004+08:00

Definitely, absolutely, oh-so-very pissed off. The day was pleasant, but the night was nonsense.
Went to work late.
Forgot my tag.
Stood outside of Euphoria.
Bloody workers wouldn't let me in.
Finally got in.
Lost my mood to work.
Didn't have friends for the night.
Left early.
Fought with brother.
Ate.
And here I am, pissed as hell.

And the thought of enduring a hectic day tomorrow, just kills my hype.
Morning class @ 8 am.
Get stuck in the morning traffic.
Endure two lectures.
Postmortem meeting @ 12
Head to KL
Trying to calm myself down so that I can sleep peacefully tonight. I really need a dreamy-ful night. Think rainbows, sunshine and playgrounds. I have so many things up my head, I deserve a good dream. As much as I hate my day, I got to enjoy my cravings - Famous Amos Soft Cookies. (smiles)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!
Don't bother asking me what I'm doing.
I don't know myself. Wish I knew.
I find Halloween an American thing. Not so Malaysian.

somewhat bored

2008-10-30T10:37:00.004+08:00

It's 10.37 am and I am wondering to myself what am I doing up so early. Plus, I slept late last night. Wonder how my body automatically wakes up in the morning? Tried to sleep back, but failed. Anyway, last night at work, I was rather disappointed that I sent out invites to my friends to come to Bar Club but no one turned up on my side. Thankfully, I received a call from a friend at 12.03 am, said he wants to come with his 5 other friends. That obviously made my day. Heck, I may not know who his friends are but so long as they come to check it out. I'd appreciate it. (smiles)

Soon after, I saw my friend and his 5 other friends.
GUESS WHAT!?
I knew all of them!
My boys came for me, I was super bloody happy!
Thanks for coming boys.
They truly made my night.

Well that's pretty much what I did last night. And since I am somewhat bored, I guess I'll hit the assignments now and be a good student. Crap. Got work tonight, again!
Oh yes, I have decided on a new hobby - I want to make jewelry!
I don't know how,
I don't know with what,
but I just feel like making jewelry.
Care to venture?

diwali mode

2008-10-29T00:03:00.010+08:00

Well, I should blog now, before my end semester assignments start to kick in. By then, I wouldn't even have the time to Facebook. The two days holiday did me well. Managed to catch up on some sleep and fixed my car (been procrastinating). I am just looking forward for a nice holiday trip to somewhere. I can so imagine myself lying on the beach, basking under sun and a beer in my hand.
What a sight.

It is amazing how multicultural Malaysia is. I always wondered. Even as a chinese, I get really excited when there is a festive season. Not for the fact there's a holiday. But the fact that you can go to open houses, enjoy the good food and the awesome company. I'm a sucker for festive seasons! Need to pack my closet with all the traditional costumes. So I can get into the mood.
Hari Raya has finished.
Diwali has finished.
It's time for Christmas, babeh!
Uber excited!

Pre-Diwali @ Euphoria

My Starbucks familia
Alvin + Jason (the boss) + Alvin's girlfriend + Madeline + Lish

Diwali @ Sheng's crib

Eve + Mandy + Andrew + Sheng + Dee Dee + Jon

Jin + Raimi + Lish + Cindy

Because of this,
I miss high school.

Diwali @ Sac's & Romeo's crib

Meet Sac

Meet Anusha (doesn't she look like Chris love?)
Meet Tony
We played hide-and-seek.
Super adorable!

Next event to look forward for.
Halloween, 31st October!
What's your plan?

I hate the weather in Malaysia. Why-oh-why do I have to endure this? One minute it's raining cats and dogs. The next, it's hot like hell! And because of that my body temperature has been playing tricks with me.
Hence, I have fallen sick!
Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I need to get anti-bacterial wipes. Bah!
P/S: Tiffy, if you're reading this - I MISS YOU!
Thanks for calling me all the way from Winnipeg.

i hate rain

2008-10-26T19:14:00.008+08:00

As you know monsoon season is in. So much for the hot-summer-feel-tropic-season Malaysia is "supposed" to be famous for. Yet, the rain this month never fails to stop. Wish I could be mother nature's best friend and tell her not to rain on certain days when I wish for the bright beaming sun. Sigh. The rain has caused me to fall sick, again. But heck, that never stopped me from enjoying the good life and getting wet.

The last 2 weeks I've been out and about with on-going assignments, the preparation of Media Carnival '08 and friendly gatherings. I so can't wait for the semester to end and just relax thoroughly. And when that happens, it's pampering time!

Don't seem to have the mood to blog today. So pictures shall do the talking.

Tania's birthday @ Bar Club, KL

Happy birthday, Tania!

Hari Raya @ Bobo's crib

Aunty Elita and I

UntitledAffair's Anniversary @ Souled Out

It all started with a decent conversation Irene love and I had.
"I feel like opening my own online boutique. Wanna join venture?"
"I'm up for it, babes"
"Done!"
Then there were two of us. More like we planned it ages ago. We finally kicked start in June 2008. And we thought, why don't we recruit two more girls. The more, the merrier, aye!
Then Delaine love came into the picture...
...and lastly, our oh-so-efficient money manager, Amanda love.
In no time, Untitled Affair was born.
Date of Birth: 27 July 2008
Age: 4 months and counting
Motto in life: We don't design clothes, we design dreams
Here we are today, we're going to make a difference.
I love you girls.

Though we only had a casual dinner. But the time spent, priceless! Many many more affairs to come. Yes, we plan to rule the world!
Miss Independent(s)!

Anyway, people enjoy your weekend!
HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO ALL!
Enjoy!

happy can i?

2008-10-13T23:48:00.006+08:00

OH YES YES YES!
It's an awesome-effin-happy day today! Though I am sleep deprived for two days. But it was all worth it. Handing in my assignment at sharp 10 am was really a breath of fresh air. And now, I can go for my much needed massage and late night mamak sessions.

Last Wednesday, Chris love called for a girls' night out to Zazu, Sunway Lagoon. Apparently every Wednesdays, they give out free flow of vodka shots to ladies only (ladies, we are sexually lucky!). So the girls: Chris love, Shoma, Reesh and I decided to check that place out. Managed to grab a bite at Borneo Rainforest.
(Note: Please do not ever order their signature pizza. Ever! It absolutely sucks. Taste like bread with cheese. Thank god for tabasco sauce!)
Then off we went to Sunway Lagoon, and as we are taking the escalator down, the guard stops us.
"Sudah tutuplah. Tak ada orang!"

Oh damn! The much anticipated vodka shots turned out to be a bummer. Oh well. We plan to check it out next time. Somehow, we ended up in Euphoria (yawn). But hey, thankfully music was great and with the right company the night ended up pretty fun. Dance, dance, dance!

The waiter accidentally took this.
Looked pretty good.

Anyway, I want to promote this upcoming event organized by the mass comm students of UniSA Yr 1 Sem 2.
It's called Media Carnival '08.
Date: October 18, 2008, Saturday
Time: 2.00pm - 6.00pm
Venue: Taylor's College Petaling Jaya
What to look forward for?
Well, there will be lots of games, food and performances. And for those online boutique lovers, there will be about 13 e-boutiques there, selling their goodies.
Do come and join the fun! And best of all
ENTRANCE IS ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!!!!
All the more reasons to come right?! Support us!

a decent craving

2008-10-05T12:21:00.007+08:00

My hols have officially ended. Come, this Monday university life will kick in, yet again.
Anyway, here's what I've been up to:

1st week of semester break

As soon as my holidays began, I already had things to do. No! It's not turning myself into a party queen but as some of you might know, my business partners and I had a booth to open at The Gossip Event 2008 located at Asia Cafe. Prior to the day of the event, there were things to catch up on: restocking, checking, listing, arranging and buying. That event itself, has occupied my days and nights. Despite the oddly weather last week, UntitledAffair managed well and we were very much pleased with the outcome. (grins)
It's a mark for many more bazaars that we will be in!

Day 1 - 24th September, Wednesday:

Meet the neighbour - Baci!

Day 2 - 25th September, Thursday:

When boredom strikes, I would say "Started-lah!"

Day 3 - 26th September, Friday:

My lovelies.
Meet Delaine + Irene + Lish + Amanda
As we wait patiently for the rain to subside.
What better way, but to camwhore!

Then came Hennessy Artistry @ Orange Club, KL
Meet Ling + Lish

Meet Trevor + Ling + Lish + Jay Mee

Meet Rolan + Lish

The boys.
Meet Nelvie + Trevor + Acap + Sac + Ram
Last but not least, meet SHAYNE WARD!
If that's okay with you.

2nd week of semester break

Did pretty much - nothing. Bummed around the house, hangout here and there. Mostly just wasting precious time in which I could have used to complete my piled up assignments. But like I said, a holiday is meant to be a holiday (smiles). Well, that was it. Aside from work and loitering, didn't do anything productive. Sigh.

Know him?
Reefa, Malaysian Rapper/Singer/Actor

I am in dire need of a full body massage!
Any takers?

bloody holidays

2008-10-01T02:25:00.004+08:00

So yes, I am cursing to holidays. I get the idea of holidays thinking it would be all fun and party but this time around, I curse you holiday! Aside from being all dreadful and dull, my semester break has been nothing nice but just plain evil. I don't get universities! A holiday is suppose to be a damn holiday. Then why bother giving us assignments during the holidays! This semester break has been hell. Fucking assignments are back to back and it's haunting me.

I can't even enjoy my break without having the thought about 3 assignments due immediately after the semester break. Ish! I'm really not a happy child this 2 weeks. I pity my Muslim classmates, even they can't seem to have a peaceful raya.
Damn you, holiday!!

There are so many things I wish to accomplish for this 2 weeks:
1. Get a new hairdo
2. Go shopping - I want my Aldo shoe! (which I'm buying tomorrow)
3. Get a tan
4. Make more money
5. Assignment: Issues in Publication and Design
6. Assignment: Media Literacies
7. Assignment: Reporting for Print
8. Have fun
9. Clean the house
10. Celebrate Hari Raya with friends?

So many things, yet so little time! Bah!

Anyway, since I'm in my blogging mode. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Muslim friends
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!
MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN
Makan banyak-banyak! Jangan main mercun, pop-pop boleh! :) And have a wonderful holiday!
(p/s: Kalau ada open house, jangan lupa call!)

Joo 23

2008-09-26T01:02:00.008+08:00

HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY JOO DADDY!
A year older, but a lot more wiser, kan?

Hope you had a blast on your birthday night @ Eckywoobee (aka your SPORTS BAR!). (laughs) Though you were almost drunk but it was fun, right? Played the Ring of Fire, 21, and Poker Sips. And also, not forgetting...the people around you that make your birthday a whole lot nicer. Thanks so much for everything - dinner, beer and for being there for me when I was down (you know what I mean).
You've always stood by me, I really appreciate it.

Anyway, although your birthday has passed, I truly hope you'll remember the day you turn 23 because in years to come, you can look back and ponder on such a fun night you had with us!
Loves!
Happy Birthday, Joo!

Cheers,
Alicia

2008-09-20T01:08:00.006+08:00

Well, I'm not going to be long winded. Seeing that I'm quite lazy to blog. Last night, did a little bit of clubbing after a tiresome night of work at Euphoria and after a week of deprivation of wild nights. Finally had the chance to hit the dancefloor and enjoyed a few drinks to unsober-ized myself. Saw many many familiar faces. Of course, most of which are my friends. Undoubtedly, pictures were taken to add on to my memorable album. My night ended early due to the following day of class.

Ambassadors' of Euphoria

Meet Melinda + Crystal + Lish + Kristen + Diane
Afiq and I (winks)

As for tonight, bff called for a night out. And so we did hangout. Initially, planned to go to Bangsar but I guess time was a factor, we ended up at Republic, Pyramid. Played the Ring of Fire with a bunch of new people. The night ended up pretty funny and filled with much excitement. More pictures for all!
Meet Shoma + bff, Chris love

Meet Thaddeus + Hui Ling + Shoma + Gravin + Christal + Michelle + Lish

By the way, a big shout out to a friend: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAC! Enjoy your birthday, shall see you tomorrow for a bigger celebration with Jeevs and the rest.
Loves.

mama

2008-09-19T02:19:00.005+08:00

I thought I would never say this, but I really want to.
I MISS MY MAMA!!!!!!

They say it's all in the smile. You think so?

Mum has been gone for almost a week now to Melbourne, Australia to look after my little newborn nephew, Tristan for 3 months. And the house has been a wrecked. Well not entirely but soon! I know every teen gets excited when their parents are out of town and what not. Truthfully, there's the pros and cons to it.

Pros: You get your freedom, duh. And of course, the great escapes from nagging.
Cons: Everything is just wrong.

No one to feed my dad, brother and I. No one to wash my massive amount of laundry. No one to clean the house. No one to complain to when my brother bullies me. Aiyo...I just miss my mama. But you know what? After all that has happened with the household stuff. I became really independent and more responsible. Not that I'm not. But I guess, I took my mother for granted.

So the past week, I cooked for the men in the house! And so far, dinner has been good, says my dad. As for my brother, he practically consumes anything. So no complaints there. Yours truly can officially cook a decent meal. Care to try some?

Also, been cleaning the house too! Am so proud of myself. I started with my closet (smiles). Finally, it's clean and mess-free. I found clothes, I never knew I had. Then my room. I found really cool things, I never knew I kept. Moved along to the family rooms and end up cleaning the entire house. Seriously, when cleaning your home, you really do need to have that particular moment when the drive is there. You just can't stop. T'was fun! (Note: I never had a maid)

So Mum has left the building. Dad is leaving soon to down under too. Don't know exactly when. But right now, I just got to save! Save a lot of money! Petrol, food, petrol, food. (sigh) The thought of it already scares me.

I'm such a muka tebal person. (laughs) Been asking people to take me into their families when my dad leaves. Will anyone house a parent-less child? I just need food (both lunch and dinner, would be great. Get to save a few ringgit there!) and someone to do my laundry! Shelter? I still have my room. Oh yes, petrol. BAH! Don't think I can save on that. My only mode of transportation is my much-relied-on car. Unlessssssss...could you give me a ride?

Okay, okay.
Alicia stop being a brat.
Am not!
It's not as if it's my first time living home alone. In fact, living alone is uber fun. I get the whole house to myself. The tivo is just for me. And I get to walk around the house in my undies (grins). Anyway, back to my whole point of this post.

i miss my mum
Vera Yau Nyo Nya
(yes, she's a Baba Nyo Nya. That explains her quirky name)

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY
JEEVAN MENON!

Hi Jeevs! I reckon this is the 4th, 5th or 6th time I'm wishing you (laughs). But hey, that's because I didn't get to spend your birthday with you. Seeing that you are occupied. Then again, it's okay because we still have that Thai dinner date to go to, aye.

Anyway J-Vahn, I really hope you enjoyed yourself with your familia. Hope you had a blast on this auspicious day. Receive every cherishable moments with open-wide arms! You know why? Because you deserve it, boy. A great guy like you should be loved! Let this not be your only amazing birthday, but a mark for many more to come!
Happy birthday.

I'll see you, when I see you ok!?
We shall bake a spoon, then.

Hugs and kisses,
Alicia

fact of life #1

2008-09-15T23:42:00.004+08:00

I just realized I have many philosophies about life. Not my life in particular. But life in general. On its own. I shall try my best to refrain myself to have an emotional blog. Seeing that most of my posts are parties, my likings and my doings. And this shall not be my first. For my first entry on the fact of life, I shall state something I've experienced today. (Note: I may not be a psychologically-well-trained expert, but it's something I should share to all my devoted readers)

Have you ever felt alone? Yes, I'm sure you might have. Alone in this context refers to being pushed or ditched aside. Let me put this in a positive perspective. PEOPLE! Yes, people, you need not worry about feeling lonely. Lonely is just a part of an obstacle. Trust me on this. I've been there done that. In fact, being lonely is good at times because then you can find yourself.

Commit yourself to understand your inner feelings. Your well-being. Loneliness is just another part for you to understand yourself better. Clears your clouded head with empty thoughts which eventually (I hope) it will lead you to something peaceful. Or sometimes you might end up being depressive. But that's a whole new different story (laughs). Life isn't worth sulking for. There's plenty to see, there's plenty to venture out for and there's plenty for all to witness! Sulking just makes you an outcast because you are deprive from the beauties of this thing we call - earth!

Oh! Let me stress on this. If you ever feel pushed aside or left alone, don't bother! Sometimes I wonder, why do I even bother too? Friends come and go. It's a fact! (smiles) Look at the brighter side. Losing a friend beats making more friends. Hands down! And there are those friends which you can always count on, regardless. Remember you will never stand alone, even if you think or feel about it. Because even the most loneliest prisoner or the most poorest beggar or the unloved orphans have someone to count on. And that is only for each and every one of us to realize.

Think about it? So, the next time if you feel that inch of sadness creeping into your mind and heart, remember, there are people who still cares. Whether they show it or not, they do! They are either one call away, one hug away, one shoulder away, one kiss away, one house away, one "whatever" away - loneliness just gets better in time, eventually...and that's a promise!

Fact of Life #1
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

As promised before, here's the video of the boys
playing the Ring of Fire in Malay!!

Remember? I had a dilemma whether to get a tattoo or a tongue piercing. Well, guess what?
TONGUE PIERCING!
Yes...I got my tongue pierced with my best friend, Chris love.
We got it together, finally. After much bragging, we have the guts to get it over and done with. And, we are so loving it.

Here's the scoop about it.
NO! IT DOESN'T HURT WHEN YOU PIERCE!
But obviously, there was the AFTER PAIN!
And worst of all...I CAN'T EAT AND TALK PROPERLY.
It has been a day now, my articulation is very slurry. People had hard time understanding me. (laughs). About eating. Let's not go there. Let's just say, I had a hard time chewing my food because I had the tendency to bite my stud. OUCH! No joke there! I only had a meal today (sigh).

Anyway, here's a video of the process. Don't worry it's nothing disgusting.
It's education.
Enjoy!

Something over the weekend I experienced with boys and alcohol. A fun sight to see and be a part with. Azim called me to ask whether I was keen to go for a swim at a friend's of a friend's condo in some deserted area namely Faber Ria. And since I was so dead bored, HELL YEAH! Swimming at 10.00pm is the best thing in life to do especially with the right crowd. If you know what I mean (winks).

Got picked up at about 9-ish pm. Then we headed of to Sanjay's to pick him and Gerard up. It was such a cold and chilly night to begin with. That made me even more excited to go swimming in the darkness. Done picking up the boys, we went to a liquor store and bought obviously, liquor. 5 boys and a girl armed with a bottle of Chivas, Absolut Vodka and 6 burgers. Off we went to our main destination which we ended up getting lost.
Thanks to two very "stoned" boys.

Immediately when we arrived, the bottles were open and uh-oh. NO CUPS! (laughs) We had to borrow cups, sadly. We drank the night away as the rest of the boys came to join the fun: Sheng, Khoe, Nick and Thinesh. So there I was, surrounded by very many gentlemen that some are on the verge to throw up and some are in the midst to reach sky high. As for me, my oh-so-very white face became the colour of my top (you'll see). It's funny when you're sober and the rest around you are cooked up in the head. You get to witness the most hilarious part of the night.

Much later through the night, I wanted to go for dip. And I went. But guess what? I got kicked out of the pool. BUMMERS! I know!! It was such a great night to swim. Apparently, pool closes at 10.00pm. Sigh. So my night ended up, drinking again. Of course, we played games, bonded here and there and took lots of unforgettable videos. To rap it up, that night was an absolute fun night. I may be the only girl there, but the boys were very much entertaining.
FUN! FUN! FUN!
It was really the "crack" of dawn. By the time I slept, the sun was rising. Let's do it again!

This is the friend's of a friend's condo.

Just look at my face
-.-
Isn't it amazing how it reflects so much of the colour of my top?
The two stoned boys that were responsible to get us at the place without getting LOST!
Meet Sanjay + Gerard

Meet Hakim + Thinesh

And oh yes, this was the cure when I was sick

My first attempt for a dip - SUCCESS!
2nd attempt - FAILED!

The fun has begun, obviously!
Goodness, I don't even remember taking this shot!
Oh well. The effects of alcohol led to this!

The drought for blogging has begun. Mainly because I've been so tied down with assignments and presentation. University stress has finally kick in. Today, I've completed my presentation for Issues in Publication and Design. Very happy with the results, I might add (smiles). You might wonder what is that. It's a pretty fun subject where you learn about designing documents such as newspaper, magazine and fact sheets. Just what I'm so looking forward for.

Anyhoo, presentation is done! Another one coming up next week. Sigh. It's neverending. A little recap what I've been caught up with. Attended two of my dearest friends' birthday - Acap and Anthony at Euphoria. It was whacked. Whacked in a good way, of course. Not forgetting, Merdeka countdown as well at Euphoria too. Man, I'm getting sick of that place. Work there. Party there. Geez. I need a life! I shall not brag any longer because I'm so dead tired (just got back from work). Plus, I need to read up. I'VE GOT QUIZ TOMORROW!
My oh my, I'm so dead.

meaning?

2008-08-30T15:06:00.003+08:00

Read my horoscope on Facebook for today. This is what it says:

"Alicia,
Some recent financial troubles could turn out to have a silver lining.
That electronic device or toy you or your partner wanted has suddenly gone on sale,
or a friend has a used one they are looking to unload,
or perhaps someone is willing to trade."

What the hell is "that electronic device or toy" means? Horoscopes can be really misleading and confusing. I bloody do not understand what does my horoscope says about me. Can someone please explain it to me in a more simpler manner. That's the first time, I do not understand my horoscope. Has nothing to do with my life, or for any matter. Electronic device!?!? Toy!?!?
It could mean various type of Electronic Device/Toy:
- Mobile phone
- TV (does anyone wants to unload my TV)
- Camera
- iPod
- A dildo? (how can one trade a dildo)
- Are shoes considered toys? (i wish)
if I keep listing, I won't end this post.

Aiyo, I give up!

CAN SOMEONE DEFINE MY HOROSCOPE?!?

Another unproductive day. (sigh) Went for class. Had meeting for the upcoming carnival, organized by us (UniSA Yr 1 Sem 2). Will tell you more when everything is on the rolling. Stayed home and declared myself, DEAD. This is why.

Parents went to Republic. They didn't bother waking me up from my deep sleep, sadly. Thankfully, Azim was nice enough to take me out from my misery. Went to drink and that was it. I'm so f*cking lazy to do my assignment. Presentation next week. Assignment due next week. I need more days for next week.

Anyway, last Saturday a dear friend, Ling text me, "I see you on TV. Haha!". As I read it, I was wondering whether it was a joke or I'm on TV for the wrong things. (laughs) Then it occurred to me, THE FIRM, duh! The Firm is a Malaysian version of The Apprentice. And no, I am not one of the contestants but I'm working for Team Asset as a promoter. How cool, aye. Earn money and at the same time, get my 15 mins of fame. By the way, you can catch the rest of the episodes on NTV7 every Saturdays at 8.30pm! I'll be appearing in some episodes (winks).

Check it out (some other familiar faces are in it too!):

of lazy days

2008-08-27T23:45:00.004+08:00

Is raining, yet again!? Blimeys. A wet day, to begin with. Been feeling lazy lately. It has been a week now where the rain just keeps pouring non-stop. Rain. Stop. Rain. Stop. Rain. Stop. Hate this weather as it does not permit me to do anything productive or fun. Today has been a very low day for me. Woke up in the morning and felt the weirdest feeling in my throat.
Oh crap.
It hit me.
I am sick!

Complained to mum, she touched my forehead - and she nodded, yes you are sick. So there I was, 7 am contemplating whether to head to Uni or stay in bed. But I decided, Uni it was. In that way, I won't have the thought of feeling ill and just go by my day happily. Annoyingly enough, I was coughing and sneezing the entire day. Everyone asked me, "Lish, is it winter?" People, I am sick. I was shivering the whole day in class. Excuse my winter-y outfit, please. (smiles)

Went for class till 4pm and immediately, rushed for a meeting. Got home and my sickness worsened. Right now, I'm beyond speaking. Can't seem to articulate anything out besides coughing and making quizzical hand motions to my family. Slept till about 9ish pm and here I am, lazing on my comfortable bed, flat on my tummy. (sigh)

Well, besides the so-called very "fun" day I had today, yesterday I went out for a decent outing with my good ol' lecturer, Ms T and a couple of my Unimates at Sunway Pyramid. My lecturer left to Sweden for 3 long weeks and she's back. Needed to catch up, so we went for a movie: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Note to everyone: Please don't bother watching it in Malaysian cinemas. They censored every god damn thing. Irritated me! For this, I suggest piracy!) and had good lunch @ ThaiThai. Oh, and we visited the tattoo parlour (grins) because Ms T wanted to get a touch-up on her tat.

We had some free time to kill. And guess what we resorted to?
We played with wigs.
Imagine yourself in a Mullet, guys?
This is how you'll look!

As for me, I decided since I never had long hair, let's try it!
And so I did.
Don't laugh, promise?

I'm having the weirdest-most-craziest craving ever. Firstly, I'm dying for an ice cream for the whole f*cking day. Stomach has been screaming at me. Telling me, I'm such a lousy caretaker. Anyhoo, that's just one part of it. Another craving that I'm encountering is the urge to get "inked" again. Yupe! I want another tattoo. I don't know where, I don't know what. I just want another one! (sigh) Ideas, anyone? They always say, "Third is the charm!"

Tattoo is one thing. My other craving - TONGUE PIERCING! Goodness me. I have no idea what's wrong with me. This is the time where I need some consultations. People, help me decide! I'm afraid if i pierce my tongue, I'll lose my tastebuds forever. And hell no, I would never want that to happen. Also, after piercing my belly for four times and it still got torn, I think I'm pretty much traumatized with body piercings. Geez. Wonder whether it hurts!?

Tattoo?
Piercing?
Tattoo?
Piercing?
Tattoo?
Piercing?
or both?

And would somebody please take me out for ice cream?
I need to kill my temptations! Anybody?

Live Unbottoned Levi's 501

2008-08-24T22:48:00.006+08:00

Yesterday was the Live Unbottoned Levi's 501 event hosted by obviously, Levi's Malaysia. The purpose of the event was to promote their new line of denim that's apparently very flexible when worn. Anyway, that's not the main part of the event. The highlight of the event was the kick-ass performance by my dear friend, Jeevan who performed 3 songs in front of a huge crowd at Ruums, Kuala Lumpur.

Sadly, we - Azim, Trevor, Khoe, Sheng, Acap and I the supporters did not get to witness his performance. Thanks to our lack of punctuality (grins). Sorry, Jeevs! But I reckon, his performance was amazing and outrageous. Arrived at Ruums at approximately 9.25pm, when Jeevs called to say "I'm done!". Shit! The main purpose we were there for, and we did not accomplish it. Nevertheless, we stayed there to hang around. Had some beer. Watched some performances. And left at 11.30pm.

Headed back to Subang for some mamak session. The night ended young (smiles). Let's just say some were exhausted as others were "eco-ing".

Oops-sie

about alicia chow rue huey

2008-08-24T03:10:00.004+08:00

This posts is a tribute to Alicia Chow Rue Huey.
I repeat.
ALICIA CHOW RUE HUEY
Specially for her as she requested VERY nicely.
First and foremost, we both share the same name. How ironic, isn't it? She always claim that my mother named me after her, which somehow I was born first. Duh. So now its all out, Alicia Chow. You were named AFTER me!

Something about Alicia Chow. Weirdly enough, we share the same name, our birthdays fall on the same month - March. The most important thing to differentiate the both of us is that, one has the nicer nickname whereas the other is funny enough. People call her "Ali"! Yes, I repeat ALI! No, not Ali Baba, but ALI (laughs)! Poor child must have a traumatizing childhood to be known as Ali. So now you know who has the nicer nickname (winks).

Ali is a year younger than me. Thanks to her oversize brain with a large amount of knowledge capacity that enabled her to "jump" straight to standard 5 after PTS. How smart. Anyway, since Alicia Chow has requested oh-so-very-nicely to blog about her. I shall do so. In future, please do not get us mixed up.

Biodata
Name: Alicia Chow Rue Huey
DOB: 29 March 90
Height: Short (duh! I don't know the exact figure)
Weight: She claims she's fat. Go figure.
Smartness: Uber genius
Ambition: Accountant?
Hobby: Facebook
Marital Status: In a relationship with Ezwan (congrats! Sorry boys)

Physical Appearance
Face: Round
Eyes: Droopy
Skin: Quite fair-lah, quite
Hair: Short - black
She loves: Her shoulders?
She hates: Her arms
Piercings: 3
Tattoos: None, for now (grins)

That's all I can think for now, Ali. Sorry you asked me to do it instantly and this is what I've come up with so far. Will continue tomorrow. I'm tired (yawn)! Aren't you flattered? The post is about you only (laughs). Enjoy reading about yourself. Not bad, I know you quite well!

there is always moment for goodbyes

2008-08-23T00:29:00.013+08:00

This time around the "goodbye" isn't about another farewell to a friend (I miss you, Tiffy) or to my loved ones. I've ended my service in Starbucks Coffee Malaysia, SS15. In short, I've quit. And in two weeks time, I'm officially an ex-barrista. Been faithfully working for Starbucks for a year and a half now and I guess, I got tired with the internal politics and
obviously, thanks to the "well-labour-abused" pay, RM4.75/hour.

Oh well, aside from the low pay, everywhere has politics and drama which I can't runaway from (sigh). Hence, I've decided to send in my resignation letter tomorrow. The month of August will be the last time for me to put on my Starbucks gear and work the bar with great enthusiasm. Of course that simply means;
No more free frappuccinos.
No more practicing latte art.
No more 30% DISCOUNT (shucks)!

It's been hell of a great time working with whacky partners, hipped bosses and friendly customers. Surely, I'll miss it. This is my Starbucks journey; it begins here:

First, there was the 3-day training course. To drill and to teach every aspiring barrista the tricks on how to make the perfect espresso shot, latte, mocha and what not.
After fully graduated from the training, I begun my service.
5th June 2007 to be exact (smiles).
Tiffy, remember this?
And then, there is always the proud moment when you have to make your first Caramel Macchiato. This is mine. Doesn't look like how it's suppose to be. But let me tell you, it taste better than the "supposed" Caramel Macchiato because love and effort has been put into making it.
Not to forget, the people behind Starbucks SS15 - Us, The Barristas aka the partners.
They bring the outburst and hype into the store.
Meet Ashraf Dev and Vanee.
The store manager aka THE BOSS, Jason.
A surprise birthday party for him.
Best moment began here. My first Starbucks store trip. We went to Penang for 3 days. Did everything we could do there. That is eat, eat, eat. And oh yes, drink, drink, drink. Shared ghost stories and funny momentos.
Meet Reza and Alvin.
These two are my mentors.
They were my coaches.
Meet Chin the latte art king and
Raja the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) dude.

This is the behind-the-scene of Starbucks SS15. The infamous smoking alley. Been there, done that. Meet Hadey, Alvin, Raja and Arvin.
Year end, every Starbucks in the Klang Valley hosted a Christmas Cheer Party. I was the Santarina but somehow, my costume was an angel (laughs). Just a fun day filled with lots of joy and love, which is what Christmas is suppose to be. My duty was to keep the orphans and customers happy. Also, to spread the cheer by giving food and inevitably, my smile.

The After Party of Christmas Cheer 2007 - Maisons.
Meet Michelle.

Come 2008, we still had our outing traditions.
A small BBQ gathering at our store manager's condo.
Meet Livon.

And this is where my journey ends. Unforgettably, marked by me.

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes; a farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. And for that - you'll always be.
