Metal Gear Solid Novel

I RANDOMLY SWIPED IT OUT FROM A $5 SECTION DURING THE EXPO MPH WAREHOUSE SALE!!!

It was...

Liz: Help me find Robin Hobb books leh, shiny shiny cover one.
Me: *sweeping fingers along the surface of the books* eh? Look! MGS! *takes out*
Liz: . . . EH? MGS?
Me: EH? MGS?

LOL!

Omgggg one segment of my life has been made completeeee omgggg and the style of the writer is the type that I likeeee. No smoke bomb language, pertinent use of vocabulary and rather apt descriptions. I liketthhhhh.

On a side note...I was so bored waiting for Liz to be done that I ended up rearranging the books in the display cardboard boxes. Sooo many repeat titles, NONE arranged. (You can see Dan Brown: Angels and Demons from the first row to the last row man, seriously.) I didn't...literally arrange everything but ah~ very satisfying.

Ugh and I went to buy books right after going to the library...seriously...

Lol wtf man, I asked Liz to help buy a few shoujo manga, just because I felt like reading some romance. Heck I even borrowed romance novels! Now to get my ass down to read (note:laugh) them. Aihz.

LAN Gaming

I went for a LAN gaming session with some secondary school ex classmates: Kegan, Qijie, Russel, Helmi and Brian. Wow. Almost all of them haven't changed one bit!

Oddly, I don't have much to say about the outing which started at about 1.50pm or so... We played L4D2 and Warhammer! Well, I was kinda familiar with the hosting of games on L4D2, so yeah, kinda felt funny the guys didn't know how to start and host a game.

Hmmm. Qijie likes to solo, Kegan likes to ADHD on us, Helmi likes to swim around and be just as lost, and Brian and Russel are cooperative but clueless. xD Quite funny.

Warhammer's pretty fun. I've never played RTS games, but wow, I dunno, my strategy was basically: 0. Nothing. Haha. I just built...and built and built and joined Brian and Qijie's alliance to bombard the rest xD

Hmmmm $7.80 to lan. Hmmm. Interesting.

Today

I'm gonna attend a Malay wedding.

I don't know what to do there. So, I asked my gaming mates at 3am last night what to do there.

"Eat, drink and be merry!"
"Smile, nod"

Great advice.

That sounds more like about living than about going to a type of wedding I've never had any exposure to before though....

Wei Jun's 18th Birthday Party

Last night, I went for Wei Jun’s 18th birthday party at the Savannah Condo. Wow. I made one huge haunted detour around the private housing area, got barked at by random dogs and was stared at by creepy residents with soulless eyes. After one walk there, I think I was filming paranoia activity. (No, I’ve never watched paranormal activity)

So I eventually reached the event location. Tofu, spring onion and onion make the world go round!

Wow. Quite frankly, I have never in my life attended such an organised birthday party with programmes designed. It seriously freaked me out at the onset haaahahaha. If I remember right, the events were

+ Small performance by his childhood friends
+ Mini trivia about Wei Jun with six questions
+ Act out Wei Jun’s reaction
+ 10 randomly selected contestants to do a mini catwalk contest
+ A slideshow of Wei Jun’s photos and video clips of him
+ A lucky draw session
+ And the mandatory photo taking followed up by cake cutting

Hmm, I feel like I missed out something. Wow. I think they forgot to include book colouring contest!

Mini performance cracked Li Hong and me up all the way. (I think Jermain was laughing too. But then, right now, I think of him as the perma-giggly-man.) Sibeh funny. Their sincerity was most definitely felt, but the performance was just crack weed. Beat-boxing was very nice * . * By the way, my poly classmates taught me how to beat box. Repeat this: “Bu zi ka zi”

I cannot remember all of the six random questions anymore. Let me see.

1. What is Wei Jun’s favourite colour? Orange!
2. What are Wei Jun’s expressions of shock, happiness and being unsure? :O :D :S
3. What is his height and waist size? 171cm, I didn’t catch the waist O.O
4. How many times in a day does he call Hilary? 7~10 times
5. What are the terms of endearment he gives to Hilary? Baby girl and mama
6. What is his favourite toy? Dumdum or dumbdumb, whichever applies.

Wow, like that called cannot remember.

I don’t know who or what is dumdum, but do you want gumgum?

Anyway, the expression one was damn funny. Auntie Jane (Hilary’s mother) acted them out. I’ve never seen Wei Jun’s happiness expression before, but it was… … Okay, more like, it’s now mimic worthy. Jermain would be very happy to demo.

Now… While I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I’m very ‘weirded’ out by the fact that two eighteen-year-olds are acting like 老夫老妻 (old husband old wife). Hahaha. Personally, even if I were attached, I don’t think I’d ever enjoy people calling me honey baby sweetheart pooh pooh gaga. So, I was and still am totally alienated by the idea that junior one is calling junior two baby girl. But we think he has an ulterior motive for calling Hilary ‘Mama.’ His explanation is that because she takes care of him. Hah. You think we three years old easy to cheat meh. Remember to send us full month free cake to claim from Bengawan Solo leh. Best is every year for the next 11 years also have. I heard that they have already planned what they want. I don’t know what they want, but since they look very enthu, I think they probably want to make a soccer team.

Oh, another thing I find O_O?! worthy is that…

Wei Jun…calls Hilary… 7 – 10 times A DAY!?!?!?!?!

!??!?!?! ?!? !? ?! ?!

What does he talk about on the phone???

“Hello baby girl. I’m gonna hang up and call you again.”
“Hello mama. There! Where do I meet you for lunch?”
“Hello mama girl, I’ve reached canteen 1. Oh you’re at canteen 2? Never mind, I’ll fly there!”
“Hello mama baby, I’ve reached, where are you?”
“Hello baby girl, I’m going home. Want to meet up?”
“Hello mama, have you reached home?”
“Hello baby girl, the show has started! Let’s gossip about the show until it ends!”
“Hello mama, I’m going to sleep. NIGHT NIGHT MWACK KISS LOVE OOO”

Wow, that sounds totally whacked. I hope that’s not the actual thing. Hahaha.

So, we moved on to the next event. Auntie Jane’s task:

“How would Wei Jun react if he accidentally stumbled into the female toilet, or if he gets walked in by a girl in the middle of a business? The former happened before!”

… …

Well, if it’s the latter, and if the girl who walked in is Hilary, he might smile and say, “Would you like to join in?”

I don’t know man. Hahaha. Whoever was dragged up to the front to act was pretty convincing though.

Moving on to the catwalk contest… ARGHHH I’M SAD! I’M DISAPPOINTED! WHY!!! WHY DIDN’T HUI QIN DO THE CATWALK!!! IT WOULD’VE SATISFIED MY SADISTIC NEED TO LAUGH!!!

Whatever it is, I voted for the winner that Wei Jun picked out! I agree… He walks more with style! Mwahaha.

…The slideshow. Until now, the “Skype with Hilary” moments are still stuck in my head. I can so totally feel the horror if the faces there were mine. I mean. I mean, I don’t know what kind of things I do on a daily basis. It’s a, terrifying thought. The worst imagery stuck in my head is Wei Jun sitting sideways trying to reveal his ‘sexy legs’, except he looks more like he’s playing with rubber ducky in a bath tub. Those silly kiss faces weren’t even half as bad. I don’t know what kind of things Hilary was thinking. I seriously wonder if she was laughing in disgusted humor, giggling and calling him a hunk or giggling her innards out. Seriously don’t know.

(By the way, I just right clicked hunk and looked for synonyms: piece, chunk, lump, slab. To clear confusion, I went to dictionary.com. I’m not so confused anymore but…y’know.)

As for the lucky draw session, I…must say that of the whole thing, the most impressionable and funny thing that I remember from it was actually…Wei Jun’s beat boxing childhood friend.

Wei Jun: 182…
Friend: *grabs ticket in a dramatic fashion, hand trembling and eyes staring really hard at ticket*
Wei Jun: 4.
Friend: *releases ticket listlessly and ticket floats down smoothly*

HAHAHAHA he probably thinks no one saw it! But it cracked me up! What was damn ironic was, the one who won it was another guy sitting right in front of him! (Dunno if that guy was another childhood friend)

And so, the cake cutting and photo taking. I don’t remember what the incredibly long speech Wei Jun was giving was about, but he said one thing that Jermain, Li Hong and I started to gossip about:

“I’ve waited eighteen years for this day!”

…

Li Hong: So next year, he would’ve waited 19years?

That’s a really long wait, dude.

Ah. And on popular request, Wei Jun kissed Hilary. Wanna know my thoughts?

//WARNING M18// (Actually, unless you’re Emily, you probably meet the age requirement to read this)

Tsk. Bad kisser. Don’t just bash against her lah. Go Youtube, search for related subjects and you might bring a better watch for all of us. ^^

//END WARNING//

Then again, both sides’ parents were there, so maybe actually, they wanted to do the full 18 second TVCM of Wei Jun x Hilary, but alas, circumstances is such that…

…they don’t want Auntie Jane to film them and upload in the slideshow for the next birthday party!?

(Yeah, I could tell that she was really super excited about Wei Jun)

And so, we ate this super sweet chocolate cake. My suspicion is, Hilary baked it. Because it was so damn sweet, we were asking for more Ching Teng or whatever you call it in hanyunpinyin or English.

OHHHH

I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT I FORGOT!!!

Wei Jun’s parents, Hilary’s parents and dunno one or two more guys (Mr. Alvin?) performed this song for Wei Jun and in the middle, his father made a speech about how much they love him. Aww.

After that, I dunno why the flute section very weird. We went all the way to an artificial volcano to take photos in total darkness. Like that also shuang. Because of fake volcano, we missed the glorious moment of Wei Jun getting dumped into the pool. u.u

On a side note, one of the most satisfying things of the whole event…is passing the secret photos to Jermain and Huiqin to see. I don’t know which event that they started viewing the photos, but they looked like they were gonna die from implosion. Soooo satisfying!! Wahhh when we were returning the photos to Wei Jun, we told him we had a surprise for him. Wow. He really looked so happy. Then we started blackmailing. HAHAHA Wei Jun… Give us 11 years of Bengawan Solo Cake, or you won’t know what’s gonna be on the birthday slideshows in future…

Hmm.

I think if his 18th birthday already so dong dong qiang, won’t his 21st one take place in some grand ballroom? We might have a 3D rendered with real life action fully cinematic 60 FPS Fully HD life story to watch on a super large dome shaped screen and we’d have to wear 3D glasses to view it!

Sadly, the content might be of him jutting his ass into the Skype window. Phew. *fans air* Fully HD some more.

After that, Manning, Hq, Amanda, Li Hong, Jermain and I made our way out… Super loooonnngg walk. Mn and Amanda took the bus from Simei, while the rest of us walked to 201. Hq took bus from there, and the rest of us…sat our asses down comfortably at Mac and forgot all concept of space and time (!?!??!)

I shall wrap this post up first before I start on a new one. You know? I think Hq is very entertaining to watch. Walk behind her, and you will notice very strange flailing of arms and talking to herself. And when we asked her why she walks like that, she looked oh wow totally surprised, “Got meh???” And I agree with Jermain… She can go to Taiwan and be a random salesgirl and nobody will know she’s from Singapore! Hahaha.

Okay, that’s about it for the entire birthday party.

Now, you’re old. Your next mission is still to bring us free full month Bengawan Solo cake… 11 ones, no less. Or our parang you shall eat!

Flute Chalet DAY THREE!

there's actually a day three!!!

do you know why i'm so diligently writing the days out now???

cuz if i don't, i can't proceed to my normal life postings!!! so, on with day 3, which is basically nothing.

i realise that checking out is always a bad mood inducing process. there will be slow asses (e.g. me) who try desperately to hurry with what little brain cells left. only to end up losing a, b and c.

then, we left to eat breakfast! atttt----i forgot what you call the place. it's like Yakun, but it's not. then, we went there to eat. oh i love eating there with a bunch of lao jiaos!! (L)

due to the fact that we talked taboo topic, the topic shall not be discussed on my blog.

now, the following will void my entire entry.

before we went home, swj was damn on about coming to my house. mn was seriously considering coming to my house to gan diao the remaining chicken.

guess what.

i think everyone slept at home. for me, i woke up at seven. HAHAHAHAHAHAH

so this was my chalet day 3. ;D (L)(L)(L)

YATY YAYAY YAY AY A i FINSIH CHALET YAYYEQW

Flute Chalet DAY TWO!

HAHAHA

before i post about Day Two, let me talk about what happened just now.

i have been feeling abnormally tired the last few days, so i decided not to go online. however! today! i was determined to post...BUT THE INTERNET DIED ON ME!!

then my sis came back with me from the pasar malam. then she said, "AIYAH. last time pluck out router never put back lah. YOU TAUGHT ME TO DO THAT YOU FORGET ABOUT IT??? YOU PIG!"

....haaaahaahaha.

how dare you people announce the death of my blog!? it LIVES! it was merely holiday-ing!!!

so, you will see the above post before i edit it to write the official day two. hyahayahyahya.

edit

... i typed a whole bunch of things. then, before i could save my post, the idiot pc decided to restart straight after an installation was complete. I AM EMO!!!

day 2

OH WELL! whatever. i shall try to retrieve from my manual hard disk!!

i know this is the wrong place to start with disc 2. i mean, day 2. so like... i was suffocating. what with a bunch of foreign objects gathering chi energy all over the bed. too much yang energy... not good, not good *fans air*

this caught my attention.

one of the foreign objects SPRUNG UP 90 DEGREES!

it waddled towards the phone, checked...stealth looked around and waddled out of the room.

hmm, secret rendezvous i see.

my first reaction was to celebrate with huizhen (i think)... "more space!!!" so, excited about the new space, i started to shove swj towards burt. towards burt. what an interesting idea. what if he were to pile on top of burt??? : DDD more excited at the idea, i pushed the supposedly sleeping airship towards burt...

...and he started to resist.... i thought he was sleeping??? so he was in this really weird position. (imagine people lying face down he resting on his sides and lying face wall. LOL.)

then, i can't remember what happened. i know i KO-ed.

the a few hours later, i found swj snatching spaces again. hello!! burt had already left!! how come still snatching places!! grrr!!!

before long, mn came up and asked, "where's huiqin?" then she pointed at a lump beside me, "is that her?"

well, this is her leg:



wah. imagine mn's expression when she saw this man. classic.

so, we got up and were a bit overly excited about Mac breakfast. now, this is something i must clarify, and something i must confess. to be honest, i find Mac breakfast a total killer when it comes to prices, and there's nothing special about it. so why am i so excited???

this is the truth.

I am pretentiously pretending that the Mac Breakfast is a super special limited edition meal. there is absolutely NO reason, NOTHING, to be excited about the breakfast. but why am i so excited??? i think i explained. but then again, there doesn't seem to be any. let's just say i'm deriving lots of joy pretending that it's damn cool, because it's so cool, when you say, "let's eat mac breakfast!!!" people are like so damn 'onz' and saying, "yeah!!!!" and when passed the 10.50am mark, people are like, "NOOO!!!" like we know what we're hyping about. it's the acting in the know... LOL.

so, on the way, we met joanne and hilary! (somebody tell me their short forms because i'm clueless) then they left for the food court.

ok. wj was damn on about mac breakfast.

suddenly, he hesitated... and we loving seniors lovingly said... "go... fly free, little bird! we will not trap you to eat with a bunch of lao jiaos...!" hmm. he definitely flew away fast.

scandalous.



(i wrote that for dramatic purposes.)

so, we shiawase-ly ate mac breakfast.

then, we dispersed!! from here on, i do not know what happened. i think i went back, wrote xmas cards, and decided to sleep.

grrr. i think i drooled.

ok i think this is quite worth mentioning.

after i woke up, mn and party wanted to go get left over food from her loyang pri school teacher, who happened to have chalet at the same time and have a lot more food than we do. so, i was asked to guard the house before i meet hz and hq for kbox. you know, kbox was at 2, i woke up at 3. and i was still in the house by 4. LOL.

then wj was thinking whether to go. i happened to be behind him and looking at his ass. i do not remember whether i smacked it, but he was like saying, "okok, i know you love my butt right?"

"no, i don't love your butt.

i love all butts."

LOL HE SCURRIED AWAY

so, tata~ they went to collect food. and when they were back!!! we all went out~ and i went to meet hz and hq.

when i was at the kbox counter, i said to join room 27. (or was it 27? anyhow choose a lucky number) the receptionist said, "huiqin right? the room with 4 people?" ...(hq+hz)sq.? i was like "erh, i dunno. i only know got hz and hq." as if she'd have any idea who the hell i was talking about. LOL.

and when i went in... OHHH! so it's joanne and hilaryyy!

so like, i was in a daze from lack of sleep, and choose really wu liao songs. just then...the giggly duo at the side were doing something with hilary's phone.

"give me the phone!"
"no!"
"ehhh? a message from weijun!!!"
"Shhhh!"

paint this picture in your head.

freezing duo, turning to look at freezing LN, who was staring at them.

LN smiles.

LN picks up hp and says, "oooo! juicy news to update everyone!!"

lalala~

anyway. here are a few points of interest when in kbox with this group of people:

1. Hilary and Joanne went in with shorts no longer than 20cm. the air con must've been 18degrees. the crazy jiggles.
2. Joanne is abnormally giggly. she giggles at the drop of a prawn cracker.
3. shameless peeps. they ordered tidbits like no tomorrow. i wonder if they charged us for it grrr. (it should be free...i guess...)
4. hz and hq are the ultimate lame pair. they can do ridiculously wu liao dance actions while singing but not even feel anything amiss. i didn't laugh because i was trying to fit in. <--???
5. i heard Joanne say, "actually our seniors are quite cute hor?" of course. one glimpse of the entire section and you will die from the overdose of cuteness.
6. Phantom of the Opera is indeed a universal song, but in different contexts. i was with a group that attempted to sing to the tune of "ahhh." but i guess exams must have bitten this group in the asses; i couldn't make out ooo from aaa.
7. The giggly duo were constantly running in and out of the room fighting for Hilary's phone and laughing and trying to absorb heat from outside (only to feel even colder when they return). crazy asses.

welll!!! it was an enjoyable session i must admit!!! only that the bill bit me in the ass. gahnn.

so, while on the way back, swj suddenly called. "where are you guys?"
"erh... just passed macdonalds--"
"STOP DON'T WALK. STOP. STOP. STOP."
"OK?" *stops rigidly*
"go to Cheers, buy ice, butter..."

k, did you need to sound so military like??

so, we got back...and met two of lh and swj's friends! (i'm so sorry. i erh, am kinda good at remember names, so they will always be remembered as lh and swj's friends to me...) now...i don't remember what happened. what i do remember is this... we went for Mac supper. LOL. (liaoz. hype about mac breakfast then now mac supper. super buey sian.) on our way, we went past hao kou wei...

WARNING PEOPLE! DON'T EVER EAT AT HAO KOU WEI!!!

for some reason i can't remember who looked in, think it was wj, he suddenly said, "...OH LOOK IT'S A RAT!!" then we bunch of city dwellers suakoo looked in and watched the fat ass climbing all over the uh whatever you call it...i might be exaggerating but seems like it happily climbed over utensils TOO! and its accomplice appeared!!! wj tried to take a photo but it was much too blur... the two fat asses then waddled off to oblivion.

so much for Good Taste. cuz got jia liao right??? hah!!! this reminds me... Hilary and Joanne avoided oily breakfast to eat Rat Flavoured breakfast.. hahhh... heheheh...

then we ate at macs. i do not for the life of me remember what we talked about except me being quite out of touch with gay comics and swj expressing his approval. 'squuuzzzeee me? gay comics are quite funny you know???

hey hey since we're on the topic of gay comics, i must say this! loud and clear!!! i do not like soapy love each other pairings!!! the type where "oh without you i will die desu ne!!!" or love and sweet sweet desu! (that can only happen in a straight pairing!!!) i like...those with... FRICTION! especially one-sided love. AHHHHAAAAHHH! interesting right!!!! erh. whatever. on with the chalet.

so, we returned... ...

actually, what happened?

i think we started to...psp? or not? forgot liao...

hey, which night was it that lh, wj, swj and i played psp together??? i forgot le leh??? either way, this was how it went. i forgot the whole katamari part.

i remember, lh joined in the game of gundam vs gundam, curious. he paired up with wj. swj and i teamed up. i honestly thought lh as a newb would be no threat. so we tried to take down wj. but we lost.

then i realise...

"isn't fighting wj the same with or without lh?? ...only now it seems a bit more tedious???"

then i realise...

"LH IS SHOOTING LASERS AT ME AND KACHIAO-ING!"

so, i smilingly announced... "li hong, i'm coming~~"

hehehehe. hahahaha. HAHAHAHA!!!!

that spelt the end to that fly. :D

i must comment this. pairing up with swj can be the most tu xue thing in the whole world. you can smashing your L and R buttons till they flew off and he still has no clue you're trying to team up with him for a special attack. either lh commented that first or i did, but it doesn't matter; the testimony stands. -.-|||

later on, wj decided to quit i think, and jermain came into the game. hey, i seriously think there's something wrong with the chronology of events. this seems super illogical. whatever. so, swj, being a sore loser, decided to team up with and bash the poor newcomers. lh was screaming, "unfair!!"

now let's see how unfair it got.

two people, who supposedly were more experienced, fought against two new butt cracks.
then, the butt cracks put their gundam choice on random.
we also put on random to be fair.
the butt cracks got power pack gundams
we got basically metal scraps

so??? we tragically lost to NOOBS!!! DO YOU SEE THE IRONY??? WE LOST TO TWO BLOODY NOOBS--ONE FLY AND A PSYCHOTIC I LOVE MGS ASS

so, out of anticlimax

i do not know what happened. haaaa. but people suddenly stopped and went out...i think. i don't remember. i went out, and saw the chicken and the airship sitting along the walkway on chairs and enjoying the night breeze. what the hell???

soon, jj and (i think it was) swj who came in with a double person bicycle (what's that called again??). they went to cycle for a while... i think lh and jj went to cycle for a while too. it's an interesting pair to watch. LOL. then wj and i went out to cycle with swj to look for...lh and swj's friends! : D we watched them pitch tent... and then we left (??? wu liao???).

when we came back, i don't remember what happened. i think we all KO-ed. LOL.

...




...

i wasn't prepared for this, but i think that's all for day two leh???

Flute Chalet DAY ONE!

waaaaaa heee hoooo!

ok, this is very much delayed. and by now, i already forgot a lot of things. lemme try to recall with my rotten memory. and i just checked my photos. shit. i didn't take anything much. !!! let's see how i can deal with this post without photos. :8O

since everything already revealed during chalet, i shall give all sorts of spoilers!!! (???)

flute chalet eve--saturday. lh and i went to burt's house to plan...only to end up doing nothing. LOL. hz called me on my hp, and we put it on speaker mode, talking about the food plan and all that. hahaha. we put the phone on top of pringles container and two candles beside it...and started to pray to hz HAHAHA

ok so we went home without quite accomplishing anything. i went home to watch... Lyrical Nanoha~~~(L) i set my alarm at 9.30am.

and woke up at 9.30am to switch the alarm off. hahahahaha. then lh called me at 10.30am...and reminded me that i had to work on our lottery coupon. (that was the main purpose of setting the alarm. and i conveniently thought i had more than enough time to do it. hehehe.)

so i woke up, did some last minute packing, and completed the coupon. wooh!!! (i promised to meet lh at 12.30. and i only went out at 12.30. LOL)

after lunch, i went to McCafe to find lh...only to find baato there! haha and we started to do some last minute packing of the lottery presents. secrets of the prizes revealed!!!


i dunno if this is a good thing or bad thing, but if you go to the public album of the flute blog, this is the preview pic you will see-- stunned bird. teeheehee.



can you believe this? the guys got down to work while i started to take photos. wanna know why??? if i wrapped, the things will look more like trash than prizes. -.-



can't believe that the Qoo pouch can actually be wrapped. !!!


cursed hello kitty. LOLOLOL


i forgot what this is. :D


i'm not too sure what this smug look means. LOL.


you know... we're in the middle of McCafe and he wants to eat the mouse...?


?? meaningless photo?? hahahaa


sponsored prize courtesy of bird. hahaha.


heh... SECOND AND FIRST PRIZE! (which Wei Jun and Jermain won respectively btw. LOL.) a big part of it came from the pringles box.....
(pringles = second / ferrero rocher (how to spell sia) = first)


huiqin's prize i think. i took this photo just so we can try to spot the word Char Mee inside. but i think the photo didn't capture the essence. SO I JUST SHOWED YOU THIS PHOTO TO WASTE YOUR TIME AND FOR FUN HAHHHH


the lottery ticket! if you want the soft copy i can give you. (dunno for what.) one of the only good things that sprung from learning CorelDraw. (the words feel damn sarcastic when you know what you actually am receiving. LOL)


a final view of the prizes... i forgot to take the before picture!! either way, don't they look deceiving desirable! (the popular choice was the Hello Kitty. hahahahhaa.)


this guy crashed in on our clandestine meeting. i threatened to cut his ping pongs if he divulged this plan. God bless him for keeping it secret as he received the first prize :D (...i don't know if i really threatened him but whatever.)

then we made our way to the lau kokok chalet. ugh. it feels unmopped for centuries. no really, it's literally centuries. wah lao. i suggest a few ways to boost Coasta Sands Pasir Ris chalet's revenue:
1. Create ghost stories and spread them
2. Make it even dirtier and change name to Squatter Settlements Chalet

ok, enough making fun of this kampung style house. speaking of which, i remember having this convo with mn the day before chalet:

Me: hey, lh hz and bird all deciding to bathe at home leh.
Mn: huh!! why??
Me: cuz they say the chalet toilet damn dirty and disgusting.
Mn: ahh! if me i will... ... *silence* i dunno if i'll bathe there leh.
Me: diao!? aiyah then everyone just go home bathe lah bring what shampoo soap??
Mn: hmm yah loh yah loh. ok let's all bathe at home.

...

you realise our planning goes from 10% done to 1% done?? LOL

then, i forgot what happened. i think we started to slack. i have no idea. i think from this point my chronology of events super screwed.

from what i remember, wj, baato, mn, etc all ran off to fetch people or grab stuff? then razannah (i'm sorry. i just realised i dunno how to spell her name :DDD|||) came with her friends! who started to play hard gay... ...

*skip skip skip*


i patronise you with a meaningless photo of Liz and me. hmm. i have only one conclusion. time to cut hair. dohhh.

finally, the guys are back!

girls, repent. cannot cook. and now, cannot start fire and bbq. ok no lah. maybe some of us can. but i think i'm only relieving each of us the process of digesting food by instantly turning food into crap if i were to cook/bbq.

now, some patronising photos to show the fire starting process. LOL.




i dunno why wj looks damn happy.


i think baato took the photos. hah. guess what i was doing.
pouring charcoal from my life drawing lessons into the fire. dun wanna waste mah. X3


now even lh looks happy. -.-

k. i erh can't remember what happened here, but what i do know, in summary...

1. MGS Ops makes a very fun group game, ONLY if there at least 4 people sparring it out.
2. Razannah is very fun to play MGS Ops with. (hear her screams. even the most dead game sounds like roller coaster)
3. incentives work very well in games. there's a Keroro frog on top of the top player's head--and from then on, everyone started to scream about killing the frog man or robbing the top player for the frog. (the top player however, has strangely been referred to "WHERE'S THE FROG???")
4. Jermain is a psycho. he played MGS Ops with a straight face, and when i asked how it was, he calmly said, "it's a very exhilarating game..." <-- exhilarating leh, beyond exciting. SICK!

5. i forgot what's the name of the penguin game that baato brought, but it's actually quite fun and funny!!! ...if the tv weren't so high. -.-

after lots of scattered brain ness, we finally got down to... LOTTERYYY! well, i must say, i was quite worried about retribution, for obvious reasons. first, lh hz baato and i planned this in hopes of bringing some entertainment...the idea that the rest were unaware certainly nagged at me! second, most of the prizes...erh. should i keep a dark secret. ok since i already mentioned it... WELL erh... most of the things came from my house :DDD (which makes it doubly retribution worthy.) and third, highly linked to point number 2, we were trying to cut budget. HAHAHAHA----*rolls down the hill, picks up one wheel bicycle, rolls away...* boy. i am very amused by the lottery results. to see more of lottery photos...

CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS!

(trying to make it look like an ad hahaha)

well, there are a few points of amusement...
1. Most of the winners were actually from flute section
(mn = burt's special edition tissue / hq = promotional char mee / wj = 2nd prize / jermain = 1st prize)
2. and because of point one, we were suspected of rigging the lottery (I SWEAR ON MY BUTT WE DIDN'T!!!)
3. the Gothic Candles were mistaken as funeral candles and were left burning at our chalet door to ward off evil
4. My sis won the empty Pringles box -- IT CAME HOME DAMMIT

when Liz struck lottery, i literally sprawled over the floor in shoujo style:



hahahahaha

well, it was great fun! didn't have the chance, but really wanna thank the guests for their spontaneity! :DDD (retribution has finally befallen on me. i'm itching all over and creating scratch wounds everywhere, plusss i have a lot of orh-chei and ulcers. LOL)

either way... then lh, wj x 2, baato and i went off to bathe. baato tompang-ed me! i must say, i am very impressed because...
1. it was mn's mini bike and there were no back seats or the what you call it for standing on
2. it takes 3 revolutions of the wheel to catch up with lh's bike
3. baato actually manage to keep the bicycle stable throughout???

seriously. impresario!!!
(the next day, my butt orh-chei...)

thennn we returned to the chalet. haha. by then brain starting to die, so i don't remember what happened much--what i do know is that we started phoenix wrighting and psp-ing. hahaha.

ok. i dunno how to split the post to day two. i think i will end the post after describing the nighttime.

it was night. but there were many ghosts at Squatter Settlement chalet room T0...1 i think. the night was spent trying to figure out how the hell to play katamari multiplayer...and baato managed to figure it out!! :DDD i find the game play somewhat disturbing, cuz this was how it was...

Players:
Baato / Toylet (wj) / Tootsie (me) / Strahl (swj)

now the VS-mode is extremely stupid; basically we just roll treasures and try to win with the most points. now much like the Keroro frog episode, in this game, there's a twenty point treasure--the royal crown. and the King is stupid enough to say "shhh don't tell others you've got the secret item!" because anyone can tell that the one with the crown is the one with an impossibly high score. LOL.

now, the WJs have a tendency to kill each other even in gaming. their violence springs out like nobody's business. for some reason, Toylet started being quite powerful and often scored number one because of the royal crown. now this is how it usually went...

Strahl: everyone...target Toylet...flush him down...

(considering that the psp was mine and wj was borrowing it, i wonder what would have been if i were Toylet instead......)

then, soon, we got bored playing vs.

we changed to playing catching on empty Prince island instead. LOL. stupid sia. four Prince + Cousin running around. stupid!!! but strangely fun and funny. cannot take it lah--i dunno why we kept laughing. plus together we're gonna hit 90 years old and we're laughing over katamari catching. diao.

and i must admit--children really do have the most creativity. people were stupidly trying to find ways to conceal themselves. i remember two spots, one of which i will not divulge, and the other is...the stupid water. "hahhh can you see me?" of course i can. i see your red bon bon.

finally, we got sian and changed game to Gundam vs Gundam.

we couldn't log on continuously, until we realised that baato's psp kept crashing our connection LOL. then he said he gonna sleep for a minute...

...and he never woke up...

soooo strahl wj and i went ahead with the VS-ing anyway. now this is shameful, but strahl and i teamed up against wj...only to loose. grrr!!! hahahaha it was very amusing.

now i don't remember what happened from here on, but what i do know is that in the end we all KO-ed. LOL.

now before i end the post, let me mentioned something noteworthy about the sleeping.

5 asses were trying to share the bed. hz was playing phoenix wright i think. and at her feet was baato who was trying to use her legs as pillows. unfortunately it ended up with hz's legs off the bed. then came Fish wj. he was sleeping in this foetus position. so, just to pack in to the sardin can, swj also slept in the same position. and i just took whatever space was left.

now this is quite odd. i felt very cold, so i grabbed the spare blanket. but i couldn't sleep, and neither could hz. then, wondering if swj was sleeping, i finally asked, "erh... do you feel cold?"

WOW i've never seen swj more alive!!! he was sleeping, dead, but his head was nodding in rapid fire mode!!!

now please lah, cold just go and grab blanket leh?? liao. so i went to grab the next blanket (which i really intended to just hoard for myself) and dumped it onto the brothers.

for some reason, getting the blanket was as good as re allocation. wj convenient swam upwards. and so did swj. leaving poor hz to fall off the bed. HAHAHA

i don't quite remember how the night ended...

because i fell asleep! DUH HEE HEE!!!

next post -- day 2!!! (i shall try to survive without photos. -.-|||)

EOY day~ Lots of happiness!

before i begin on the EOY itself, here are some pointless information.

1. EOY = End of Year. it is usually held end of year (HAHAHA wu liao) at SGExpo and it costs $10~$12 to go for the event. it is organised by Shiro Tsubasa Animation Club (STAC). i have fantasized about an antagonistic animation club called Kuro Tsubasa Animation Club. then again it think it's better if i called it KPAC. (Kian Pa Attitude Club)
2. i dreamt that i kept reaching EOY only at 8pm. ?????
3. and because of that repetitive nightmare (i swear the scenario repeated 3 times in my dream) i woke up to eat mac breakfast.
4. and because i was such a lazy ass i ended up eating BK food for lunch. -.-

now, be warned. there are not many photos in this post. you won't see much cosplayers. actually, you won't even see anything that is highly relevant to the event. you will only see stupid photos. because the photographer is stupid.

as i made my way into the hall, i came across these amazing statues or whatever you call these pieces of art that have been there for years but i didn't notice.


either he's break-dancing or doing something really sick.

his sick neighbour.

ultimate expression of joy.

now instead of hurrying to the event i was taking sick photos. (bet you're saying "it's just you!!")

first and foremost, let me apologise. i was searching through my archive of photos when i realise i only took 3 normal photos. the rest are pointless.

as i got up the elevator, i was surprised/shocked/amazed to see an extremely large crowd gathering outside the event hall, and an extremely long queue to the ticketing booth--except that was no one in the line. i felt quite stupid going zigzags just to buy the ticket because well, there was no one. hahahaha. makes me wonder what the heck the people outside are doing. gathering chi energy?

then as i got to the booth, the person brightly asked.

Receptionist: are you a member?
Me: well... i signed up as a member a few years ago. does that count?
Receptionist: :D... ... erh i guess so? ahhaha.
Me: hahaha...
Receptionist: $10 please! here you go.

... k. sometimes lack of security can be a wonderful thing. (but without a doubt, i really am a member, in case you think i robbed the poor soul of her $2. it's just that i don't have authentication certificates...)

so i went in, and went straight to manda aka carol's booth. (in case you're wondering who that is, it's the siao cha bo secretary who's in the 1985 batch of Hai Sing Catholic Band. i'll let you know about our strange friendship next time. it started from a fateful day of our school library art competition. oh? there was art competition from the library??) as usual, she pretended not to see me. LOL. dunno why our meeting very standard one. always act like never see me. hahahaha.

then, i forgot what happened. serious. hahha.

i think i went to chat with a fellow drawing friend called Lian (a bubbly lady who feels young at age). it's pleasant talking to her because she's always bubbly! cool to share sentiments about buying habits with her ;D

then we saw this:



...wtf is this? bug?

i saw this guy cosplaying as the scythe holding person in Guilty Gear. Lian and i were wondering if it was a guy... we were quite sure cuz there were no humps no lumps, but erh...he was a bit flabby.

after that while acquainting myself with the booth, i encountered my ex-classmate, ex-schoolmate and ex-ccamate, Valentine. he is named Valentine because well...he was born on Valentine's day?? :D||| he was my pri 6 classmate, my club mate in poly and well, because same club so same poly = schoolmate lor. this is the amazing thing that most of us (i assume) agree on...he looked like this last time, and now he still looks like this. LOL. consistency man. he is this weird techno freak. weird guy lah. we were talking some weird crap. (the only thing i remember about him in pri school days is that he said he played FF8 and leveled up to lvl 99 when he hadn't even finished the Dollet Mission because he didn't know where to go. HAAAA)

now, i must highlight this...please do not feel offended if i do not greet you on the streets. i have a very powerful ability to not see people despite them being in my face. i was walking to the toilet when i heard someone calling me. then i stared...and..."OH HELLO YOU!" hahaha. sai. it's another ex-club mate, Kenny. he was cosplaying as 25yr old Lambo from Katekyou Hitman Reborn which i happen to only read book 1 so my favourite character is automatically gokudera hayato.

then after i went to the toilet, i went to buy lunch--and when i was done, i charged past the lunching tables when i once again heard my name called. still my ex-club mates, except that they are my seniors. LOL. shit man, missed 2 people in a row. i have a feeling i missed more people. erhhh.

while on my way, i swear i saw a 5yr old lambo who looked really like lambo. COOl MAN but shit lah, didn't take photo!!

when i got back, i tended to the booth again. if you ever get a chance, do some booth sales. it's one of the most satisfying and fulfilling things to do. nothing beats counting money. hee. this is what i usually love about going for conventions--selling things and counting money. (tell you a secret--manda was close to hitting FOUR digit figures ;D i'm expecting a mountain of xmas presents. :DDD) did i tell you i loved being a cashier?

it might be due to my recent choice of jobs that i've started to become a little more...hmm what should i say. i find striking conversations with customers very interesting. some of them are easy to connect to. some are just erh...in their own world haha. there are those who don't want to connect with you, so just let them be. there are those who are a little pensive and need a little pushing. and there are those who are scarily intiative. some of them are having insider conversations, but just give them a knowing smile and they know you are in their frequency :)

afterward, manda told me that her art was in the art competition. i wanted to vote for it, so i went around asking the staff how to vote. the receptionist directed me to the information counter people. when i asked though, the staff went to ask his neighbour who asked him to ask someone else. and when he came back, he told me it was already over. LOLOLOL voting is over before 3pm?? are you serious?? (there were no numbers on the art display board so i don't know how i was supposed to vote in the first place)

this is the guy whom i asked and ended up very blur:


masks make you dare to wear anything. HAHAHA. (that's manda in the background. don't worry, she looks exactly the same as in 2002.) despite his very funny service, he's quite a nice chap. when i asked if i could take his photo, he smiling said yeah sure. and i got out of the booth cuz i didn't want the lighting to hide his face. when i went to take his photo, he was very enthu (resulted in this pose). and he laughed at the end of the photoshoot. i forgive him for his blurness.

i saw a Gwendolyn and a Velvet from Odin Sphere! ...but forgot to take photo. quite ok lah. (random comment.)

a mini sidetrack. this is quite unimportant but i find it very funny. my two seniors from JCG (japanese cultural group) were having a conversation.

Randen: how to spell Sebastian!?
Ben: S E B A S T I A N ...
Randen: S a b e...
Ben: S E B!
Randen: wah lao damn hard to spell man!
Ben: wtf are you trying to spell with the dictionary???
Randen: neh! got lah!!
Ben: wtf is that?? Pabastian??
Randen: ok, spell again.
Ben: S e b a s t i a n.
Randen: .....again again?
Ben: S O N . O F . A . B I T C H

LOLOLOLOL (this senior damn cynical one. not scared of people hamtam-ing him. then randen also another one, always waiting for retribution to befall cuz of his qian bian ness. i imagine they are the president and vice president of KPAC.)

cuz Liz wanted to see the Odin Sphere characters so we started to wander. suddenly Liz burst out in laughter. i wondered what it was and she pointed to a direction... amused i went to chase the source of the humour:


isn't she cute and lovely??? hahahaha! i tapped on her shoulder and said, "auntie you look very cute! can i take a photo of you??" hahahahhahaha!

somehow we started a conversation and she started to tell me how her mother and grandmother hate the japanese due to the occupation. when i asked her how about herself, why she was there, she said her son was the booth owner (i saw her at the booth also). then she said she felt that there was no point carrying over the hatred of the previous generation to the current one :) she added that cuz she was a Christian. haha! so i thanked her for the little exchange, and went on my merry way :D

lovely. it'll be great if we all had a more open mind to niche activities like this. (we have much to learn from this pirate helmet wearing lady!)

random side note, i only have on surviving grandma who's a bit autistic (likes to talk to herself and answer her own thoughts), so i find it hard to imagine i can ever hold a conversation like that with her. hah. (my father's an exact copy of her.)

hehe. Liz and i had a little photoshoot! i shall put only three photos that i feel can make it.

i wore this silly cap that belonged to manda.


see. she looks the same right. (this is my contact photo that would appear whenever she calls.) that's her own canbadge on her erm cap.

so i took photos of myself in it. stupid Liz didn't tell me my expression sucked. this is how it turned out:


CHIIBEI so much white in my eyes!!! so i requested a reshot.

ahhh. looks much better. :D


Liz. LOL. she had a lot of act cute shots. i shiver when i look at them, so i better not post them. this one suits my blog better.

a few normal photos badly taken to humour you:


you see the one with the horn? that's Kenny, cos-ing as Lambo. a junior cum friend called Kaya and i were making noise, saying: "KENNY! KENNY! LAUGH OUT LOUD! LAUGH OUT LOUD!" in the end he cannot take it and smiled. AHHAHA.

show you something damn silly.


this man was walking around half naked. dunno what action is this (preparing for photoshoot)

guess what he is doing.

HAHA HIS MOUSTACHE NEARLY FELL!! now ready for photoshoot. hahaha.

either he's sniggering or his moustache was threatening to fall.

on a side note, d'you see the white hair girl beside the masked person? if i'm not wrong, she cosplayed aeris (ff7) before, and she looked really sweet. and if she is that person...she is actually a TP student. what i found creepy is that...she looks better in cosplay. LOL. i shall not say more. her original looks will remain in the deep recessions of my memory forever. i will seal her looks in my mind as the sweet, demure girl.

this is another random addition:


it may be too small, but that's ranma. it's unclear. but i was amazed that this person brought a kettle. (if i'm not wrong she's maria.) hahahaha. kettle leh. hahaha. (???)

pathetic it may seem, but those are all my photos. :D

i saw a couple of old friends. :D people like tashigi and bakaneko. i thought they wouldn't recognise me, but when we greeted, it felt pretty nice. :) years do seem to have passed! here's another friend:


she very qi guai one. i wanted a contact photo of her, so i asked her for a photo. she said, "ERGHHH why didn't you take earlier?? all my makeup is GONE!" and she automatically went into photoshoot pose. HAHAHAHA.

on a stupid quest to look for Odin sphere characters as i've mentioned, we stumbled upon bargain corner. bargain my ass man--we spent $60+!!! (although they were indeed bargain prices...)


the deathnote trading cards (27pcs) and the Arc the Lad VCD are my purchase. the rest is liz. guess what. mine costs a total of only $28. LIZ' BLOODY POSTCARDS COST $40+!!!! the bleach card is a little complimentary for spending so bloody much. hahaha.


actually i only wanted to buy this pair. but for individual pieces, only R was left. sian. so i had to buy the whole set. ok lah, the art quite nice lah. i know L more popular but don't litat leh. they are one pair! :D (no gay ness intended.)


i must talk about this. remember the friend i mentioned we broke off but are now talking terms? her cousin borrowed this from me and disappeared with it forever. must be my good karma for this to appear at the bargain corner at the price of only $3!!! i was damn touched. when i returned a dragon ball comic i borrowed because i didn't have the movie, the movie was on sale shortly after. so guys, if you lose something, accumulate good karma. these things will appear somewhere else. now i expect my lost Griever keychain from ff8 will appear somehow if i do more good deeds...


pardon me. i looked at this for a while and was thinking of oddities when Liz decided to buy it. then i blurted out, "she's on a toiletbowl or what?" some more got toilet paper all over her???

now me being on high after greeting some old friends and networking a bit with customers, i started to converse with the shop owner Lyndia. i left my contacts with her just in case she had something to sell. (i dunno why i left my contacts with her instead of she giving me her contact.) i asked if all the stuff belonged to her...she said yes. i swear she could've opened a shop. (the stuff we bought makes up only 1% or less of the stuff i saw there) amazingly all her things were all in such good condition they could have passed off first hand. and she confessed, "i was a crazy fangirl who bought everything about the series i liked....." hahahaha. confessions of a nutcase. i caught some gay trading cards on sale and i said, "huh? you dare to sell this openly ah?" she said, "so far only two people commented on it so i think it's ok lah." cool.

i had to send Liz off to the atm because we were so dead broke. orz

right after this, the comic circle regulars (???) decided to go KTV Party World. 7 of us... manda, sana, knightcat, Lian, Jacqueline, Liz and CK (Lian's friend). CK didn't come for the event, but she was gonna meet us later on. so i looked at manda and said... "so...you want to drag your luggage all the way to chinatown? :D" she yah hoh me. LOL. some more we were travelling from Expo all the way to china town with four or so people dragging luggages (their artworks etc on sale). bloody looked like tourists. hahaha.

we had dinner. and went to Party World. ok. i don't know what the hell was wrong with us. a bunch of us dragging goods all the way to some ulu KTV and counting money, exchanging money and counting stocks. we were illegal immigrants man. i was quite creeped out that the waiter was very calm looking despite a bunch of crazy asses singing out of tune while he was around. ...

now i don't remember much of what we were doing there (except manda molesting me all the time because she was sitting beside me. or was i molesting her? -.-), but i do remember this... here are 3 songs i feel are damn good group songs:

1. Where is the Love -- a bloody sutra everyone chants in different accents
2. My Humps -- not sure what's so funny but it made everyone laugh
3. Phantom of the Opera -- for obvious reasons

i swear i never sounded more woman.

by the time we were done, it was 1.30am... ugh. then manda, knightcat, Liz and i shared cab home. ahhhh. i am penniless.

so please understand when i say i don't want to go out. LOL die liao. dunno how to survive man. i don't understand leh. i thought i am the King Queen Joker of the Giam Society. why am i so poor?? must find my way out of this rut.

this day definitely turned out 100x better than what i expected! and well.. erh... i kinda don't know what happened at the event actually, cuz i was out of the main hall most of the time. hahahaha. it is time for me to consider what i want out of my drawings! (if it can nab me something close to 4 digit, then...$u$$$$$$)

now, i shall go pack my room. have a great day. wee!!

i just remembered something. this is unimportant, but, i took photo of someone's underpants. now i can blackmail that person. better buy me presents or i circulate your grey undergarment all over the cosplay circle. hee. (the flash was on when i took the photo. somehow the person cannot feel one.)
