Hong Kong?? What are the chances?? :-O


My band Alaling & The Kaya Koks are shortlisted alongside another indie artist in Msia to go to Hong Kong for a gig by Nokia! Gasp. We're ecstatic to be even chosen, whether or not we get it hehehe. We blogged about it and you can read it here.

In other news, my back's skin is totally peeling like nobody's business after returning from our company trip to Phuket. I tried to tan my front so that it can be the same colour as my back, but tak jadi. Never underestimate the powers of sun block, peopleeeeee!

Sighh!

Pictures from the trip up soon.

In the meantime, here are some random pictures from last week.

Something wasn't quite cooked right.

Uh, waiter.. there's a, uh... something in my soup...?

Audi giving a demonstration on how this particular pen is great for writing on human skin.

"See what I mean? Just look, LOOK at the way it wrote on my skin!"

"So the next time I choose to write on my skin, let's see if it will be Kilometrico or this, THIS AMAZING human-skin-writing pen! Oh gee I dunno... *smile slowly spreads across his face*"

"When it comes to human skin writing, it's gotta be a Popular ball pen."

4.35am. Time to sleep! :-)

Tamau makan ice cream you lagi.



Jahat. Grrrr.

Come Zouk this Saturday!



Very excited about this gig. We'll be playing alongside Azmyl, Silent Scream, Stonebay, Lurks, and many more. I'm looking forward to Silent Scenery, They Will Kill Us All, Lurks, Brainhead, Stonebay, arrghhh so many bands! *eyes dart around and foams in mouth*

Show starts at 4pm I heard, Alaling & The Kaya Koks will be on at 4.30pm @ The Terrace Bar.

Come if u can!

Admission is free! Yeayyyy!

Nerdle, meet Chocolat


"What shall I call my Macbook?"

"I dunno, people always come up with human names like Charlie or Mackie or Mandy... maybe you should go for something different.."

"Like?"

"Well, he's a Mac right... so uhh.. what about Mackerel?? HAHAHAHAHA"

". . . . . "

"What? Nice what."



* * *

In the end, his new toy was named Nerdle. I love that name! So does Chocolat, my Winxp PC. YEAH what an unholy union right, Mac and PC.



Actual conversation between Nerdle and Chocolat:

"My owner just bought me a Bluetooth dongle!"

"Oh... I was born with Bluetooth (just like other Macbooks), so my owner doesn't need to get a dongle :-) "

"Well I was born with a 4-in-1 card reader :-) "

" .... :-( "

I found out the pixelart thingy I made of Nerdle<3Chocolat actually make pretty rad glasses.



Or angry eyebrows.

I can't decide if he's sweet or plain irritating.


So I've been shopping online a lot lately, considering how many gazillion online boutiques there are and how they tend to go to the same suppliers that boutiques in Bangsar use. Heh heh.

Buttt this is not about online shopping (guys, heave a sigh of relief-- for once some woman is not gonna talk about shopping-- sorry boyfriend you're not spared entirely though, tonight we need to talk about those heels I purchased, are they the right colour? You think? Like, omg. heh heh).

I came upon this post on one of the subforums under Lowyat.net. Usually any posts on the forum has to start off with a [WTB] or [WTS] tag, which means "Want to Buy" or "Want to Sell".

This particular post said "[WTB] Bao Bei's Attention." No need to explain what this guy wants to buy lah kan. hehh.

I can't decide if this guy is sweet or stupid, or both, and if the girl is heaven-sent or wallet-bent.

You go read lah. Read the replies too, coz there's one post where Miss Bao Bei replies, where you'd just go "Hokayyyyyyyyyy....."

Meanwhile, I will go steal some fries. *face lights up* :D

Singing gibberish




Pada saramu padama kita sarapaaaaa

*Mwahhh mwahhh*


Okay, I'd admit it. I don't get this whole "Oh hello darlinggg *kiss on left side, kiss on right side*" thing. Sometimes I don't know what I'm supposed to be kissing (am I supposed to kiss air? or cheek? or any part of the face? what happens if i kiss the wrong area of the cheek and am mistakenly thought of as a slut? coz we all know women can't be players... men are players, women are "sluts" -_-).

Usually I get kinda grossed out thinking about kissing the other person's cheek, so I just end up kissing air.

But seriously, I don't have a clue what's the doctrine on this whole schenenigan. So I try to be a chameleon and "follow whatever other people do". And by "follow" I really mean if they kiss air, I kiss air, but if they kiss cheek I just bite my lip and pretend "Oh I knew you were gonna kiss my cheek, dahling" and kiss air instead, as if he/she never kissed my cheek.

No way I'm gonna kiss someone's cheek.

It's not like we're French or anything.

But we do French kiss.

So okay, I just lost my argument there.

Dangit!

The most beautiful beef noodles I've ever seen



See how the beef ball is laid nicely on top of the spoon that's gently perched under the noodles? Goodness gracious me. And that natural light that hits the peanuts!!! :O :O :O

If heaven had beef noodles I suppose they'd look as divine as this.

Ching Wong Foo


We have a newbie at our office, and his name is Zach. Few of us were having dinner yesterday when this conversation ensued. Btw, in the office I'm usually known as Ching.

"SJ: Hey Zach, actually you know what is Ching's real name?

Zach: Dunno lah.

SJ: Actually her name is Wong Foo. Her surname is Ching la. That's why we call her Ching. Full name is Ching. Wong. Foo.

(all of us burst out laughing at the table)

Zach: (nervous laughter) Uh.. hehehe... hehe... hehe... (mumbling) man, that's so not hot... hehe

Me: GEE Thanks a lot! Sigh.. now you know why my name card I only put 'Ching'.......

Zach: (nervous laughter, face like tak tentu arah, yet have to be polite) I see... I see...

SJ: Ya, so at home, her mother always call her "Ah Foo! Ah Foo!"

Me: And you can imagine what Senkiat calls me lor.

Zach: (still maintaining smile on face trying not to laugh) What ah?

Me: He calls me by my real name lor. "Wong Foo... Wong Foo..."

(everyone bursts out laughing again)

Me: Shaddap la u guys!!! Sighh... so Zach... now you know... I don't want ppl to make fun of me... pls don't call me that in front of clients ok...

Zach: Hehe... OK... hehehe... (mumbling) Behind only... heehee... heheee!"

Later when I was telling Senkiat about it, after we laughed so hard about it, I said:

"Me: So... if my name was really Wong Foo, would you still date me?

Him: (silence)

Me: Hmmm?

Him: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I DUNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......................... ....ppppppppprobably nottttt.................................

Me: Har?? But it's just my NAME only wor!

Him: Hehe... hehehehe..heheeeeee....

Me: (waiting for him to change his answer) . . . . . .

Him: ..... :P

Me: -_- "

Get ready for valentines, girls.

Right. Forgot the pics from Bali.

I do miss their Balinese char siew. A LOT. Okay maybe I just generally miss char siew. From
Sunway Mas. At this shop called Seremban Favourites. (Navin pls click on the link)

p/s Navin's gonna hate meeeee :P

Okay I'm getting a wee bit too obsessed with this thing...


Every time they're not by my side, I think about them. When I get back from work, I head straight to playing with them. I wish I had more time to spend with them. This must be what love feels like. Or a man's relationship with his PS3/Xbox. Hahahaha.

Anyway here's what I made with them recently:

Power rainbow!

Lookie, I'm a dj. Wiki-wiki-wiki-wikipedia.

Winter sonata de coco tree

Name card. Haha.

A Few Things That Made Me Happy Recently

Woohoo Choco Pie!

Tanned feet in Bali


Lou mou


Ichiban Ramen being protective of his lady Para Para Sakura The Flying Dog


Animalistic music

You know I'm totally making up for lost time when there's suddenly an attack of posts...


I forgot this. This video made me sad, hopeful, and contemplative.



Oh the power of ice cream.

Awesomest Cupcakes

Okay the cupcake fad has gone a bit too far, and I think there's more than enough cupcakes in this world (although I do enjoy Ellie's strawberry-filled cupcakes, not too sweet, seem to be just nice!), but... wait! What IS this here that I see???

@_@..


It's the most awesomest cupcake design in the galaxy, that's what!

I could stare at these forever.

Goodbye, Heath Ledger :-(


A solemn conversation yesterday evening about Heath Ledger.

"Me: Hey... let's go have dinner... in remembrance of Heath Ledger...

Jean: Alas... so sad. Yes, we shall. And we must each portray a character that he has played before.

Me: Err...

Jean: You will be Joker, coz you always joking around. I will be Cassanova, and Ah Tung will be from Brokeback Mountain."

*Btw, Ah Tung is Jean's boyfriend.

Anyway, we are in no way making fun of him. It's sad that he died at such a young age. We still remember him from 10 Things I Hate About You. Sigh.

A very late post, but yes, this woman is home to Ando The Rowbawt :D

"Lei ke Lou Mou lah!"*


Jo got me a Lomo! We call it "Lou Mou" which means mother in Canto. We were in the Section 17 6 to 9 Grill Nasi Lemak restaurant during lunch when she passed it to me.

"Me: (so excited) Wowowow! Let's take a pic!!!

Jo: Eh must put film first..

Me: Oh ya! (takes out film from the film container)

Jo: Okay let's see how do we open this... (fiddles with Lomo a bit before it pops open for the film area)

Me: Okay... (looks at film in hand, looks inside the Lomo camera) ... how do we this again? Can't be too hard rite? We used to study photography and had film SLRs, rite? Eheheh... (sweat)

Jo: Uhh.. yea, I guessssss.

(Both of us stare at the inside of the camera)

Jo: I think the film goes into the left side right...

Me: Yeah I think so... ok there it goes... and I think we drag the film to the right hand side rite?

Jo: I guess...

Me: EH! So hard to drag wan. Are you sure ah?? :O

Jo: Pull harder lah.

Me: What if rosak! ERR got manual ah??

Jo: (digs the box for the manual and quickly flips through the standard Lomo manual that is filled with pictures and colours everywhere) Argghh I hate these design-y manuals, so hard to read!

Me: Ya loh! (we both studied design)

Jo: Ok hook the film hole onto the hook thing on the right....

Me: Ahuh... urm... okay... uh... SHIT! STUCK D!!!!

Jo: Just pull lah!

Me: You sure??

Jo: I dunno! This manual doesn't say anything!

Me: Pengsan!! Ok lah just pull... Oh can! Phew.

Jo: Eh the film got unhooked pulak.

Me: Crap now gotta hook it back.

(Both fiddle with the film in the camera)

(After 5 hours...)

Me: Ok! Done! I mean, should be done rite? Oh well. Let's take a pic!!!! (holds camera up and cranes neck towards Jo)

Jo: Uhh... this is old school camera wor... not wide like our digital cameras leh... might not be able to see our faces...

Me: Aiyak! Ya hor... Uhh nevermind!! We can put on the table and take picture! AHA! (proceeds to clear table to stand the camera)

Jo: Uhh.. no tripod wor...

Me: Aiyak! Ya hor... Uhh nevermind!! We just put on the table, and then we bend down a bit lah! AHA!!!

Jo: Uhhh... this camera no timer also...

Me: AIYAK!!! -_-" "

And to think we were photography students.... :p
