Optimus Prime and Bumblebee!!!

This is now my favourite website: Optimus Prime on Wikipedia, of all sites. . .

Ughhh for some really weird reason, reading Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's descriptions and background stories is giving me the urge to cry in the middle of my office work. Even weirder is feeling very sad reading Isaac Newton's wiki page. (Where did that come from...)

Well, after watching Transformers last night (it was a desperate last catch...too bad I didn't watch early and catch the 3D one Y__Y), my liking for Optimus Prime and Bumblebee is rekindled... To preserve that idolising feeing, I shall get their posters. If we can't find Optimus Prime and Bumblebee posters (nice ones) locally, we're gonna...SHIP THEM FROM OVERSEAS!!!!!!! (I already saw two posters that have both of them in the same poster!!! Yarrr!!!) Inspired to get the whole Transformers set...

Or maybe I should go old school, print out their pictures and paste it all over my work desk. :DDD

Favourite parts of the movie:
- Optimus sliced things up in Street Fighter Ken Shoryuuken style.
- Optimus lost his trailer to Shockwave.
- Optimus flew around and got stuck in a bunch of cables.
- And Optimus ruthlessly whacked everyone. The first time he's goddamned full of precision. (Though I still...kinda like his clumsiness and terrible execution...)
- Bumblebee, at the moment he was about to be blasted in the head to oblivion.

And well, yeah, I think the robots are far more human than humans themselves.

In my next life, I want to be Bumblebee or some such autobot!!!

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!

a bit of updates for cosfest day 2

first off, for those who know dragon ball:
the real Mr. Satan
^i first saw this some time when i was still in secondary school. ahhh the good laughable days like the scent of rotten lemon.

due to my lack of ram, my brain has forgotten most of the day. but here are some highlights that made my day:

1. someone who cosplayed Armstrong from fullmetalaclhemist--weee!! ok. he was singing this YMCA song and changed it to YAOI which somehow excites girls for mysterious reasons. he won the cosplay single category competition and he's going to japan!!! (i think to compete? now i'd like to see how he's going to translate that dude)

2. there's this friend whom i disturbed on msn (and i had a nightmare that she wanted to kill me cuz her msn nick said "DND (do not disturb) unless it's about WCS (world cosplay summit) or I will EAT YOU") <-- i went to PM her "DISTURB" before i went offline... she won the group cosplay competition and she's going to japan!!!

3. mah old friend manda and her friend jac also my friend and liz and me went to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. whatever whoever says, it is nice!! although i much loved the more focused and emo drama part one, part two is the bloodlusttt! personally, i think part two's story is kinda loose and to be honest, could use better focus. i mean transformers doesn't really have a story in the first place but part two does have a somewhat solid premise, just that i think they were cramping too many sequences in there... still!! part two's fight scenes are the LOVE! i only wish they fought more... and seriously, we didn't realise it was a 2hr 45mins show OoO it flew by!! (i wish for more fight scene. Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee have never fought harder. my impression of part one was that Prime was a friggin loser whose only role is to get bashed)

4. the highlight--Manda treated us to dinner!!!!!!!!!!! i feel she deserves ten loves and ten kisses for it :DDDDDD (L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(L)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K)(K) (is that ten? no idea) anyway this is...this is unseen before!!! serious!!! for the close to 10yrs that i knew her, she has never treated me before!!! (not that i remember) but suddenly, without any resistance or anything, she straightforwardly said... "this dinner's on me" *Straight face* OH!!! really, i was quite touched. haha.

and one last thing worth remembering too. during my poly days, i made friends, and also made enemies. and the next one or two years i spent quite a bit of time moping and regretting, wishing i were wiser with the way i dealt with friendship. everyone is ok--only with different types of flaws. but i never really learnt what it meant to accept, and not just to tolerate. and if these same people i mistreated never wanted to speak to me again or accept my apology, i completely understand. but on cosfest, it just felt like all the drama in the past are finally laid to rest. for that, i feel this year's cosfest had a little more to offer than the rest. :) i don't know how i'll ever bring this up to them, but i just want to thank them for forgiving me.
