It’s been a while since I last flooded my blog with photos so I guess it’s time to do so now! Last weekend seemed so long (because it lasted for 4 days!) and I blame it for catapulting me into a full-blown holiday mood I did have tons of fun though.

On Merdeka Day (last Tuesday), I decided to go to Singapore anyway although I couldn’t find anyone to go with. Somehow I managed to wake up at 9 am and by 11 am I was drive-thru-ing Burger King to grab something to eat on the way to the Causeway. Spent 1.5 hours on the Causeway itself and finally made it to Haji Lane at about 1.30 pm. It was surprisingly quite easy to find considering the number of times I’ve gotten lost while driving in (and into) Singapore (it’s not that small okay?). Haji Lane is kinda like Bangar, only more unassuming, tainted and awesome! It’s a rather tiny lane filled with cutesy little individual boutiques and just exudes a lot of quirky charm. I love it!

Unfortunately, most of the boutiques sell apparels for the female sex and only a handful of them have stuff for the guys. But that won’t stop me from going back! I think they MIGHT have a higher stock turnover rate compared to Bugis Street (which is only kind of worth visiting once in 6 months or so). And the clothes aren’t too expensive either.

A deceiving display because there weren’t guy clothes instore.

Random shop

I think there’s just something very appealing about old-looking, almost rundown stores selling clothing. If you’re not a stair climber/al fresco shopper I wouldn’t recommend this place for you though. The weather can be a bit daunting and I was stupid that day to wear 2 layers of clothing under the hot sun.

Anyway, after less than 2 hours of scouring the stores I decided that I’d bought enough (1 jacket only. But I really like it) and that the scorching sun was too painful to endure. Got really lost on the way back (because I decided to be adventurous) but finally made it back at 4 pm!

Later that night we decided to go out for a nice dinner to celebrate Malaysia’s 53rd birthday. So Evonnebabe, Hans, Jo, Anver and I ended up at Chez Papa which is a French rezzo because well, I couldn’t think of any Malaysian food selling restaurant around that sells good food and feels celebratory at the same time.

I’ve been wanting to try out Chez Papa for the longest time because I’ve heard many good things about this restaurant which looks like it’s forever closed. I must say it lives up to expectation in terms of food quality but I think the portion was a little disproportionate to the pricing. Perhaps they had to import their ingredients from somewhere, I don’t know. Not a place to go on a regular basis or when you’re really hunger, but I guess it’s worth the splurge once in a while.

Went to Malacca yesterday with Hans, Jo and Evonnebabe and had a hell of a good time. Haven’t tired my muscles so much in a while (although that isn’t saying much) and haven’t felt so good in a while either. Oh! And I haven’t spent so much in a while either. Now that’s saying something.

Went to watch Step Up 3 today and I must say I didn’t really like the show. The main actor is such a poser! He didn’t even have a proper dance routine that lasted more than 2 minutes of screen time.. He was obviously just the lead because of his looks.

Anyway, I really liked ONE song they played in the movie. Came back and tried YouTube-ing for the soundtrack but I couldn’t find it even after searching for almost every likely song on the list. Turns out it’s an unreleased song by this upcoming singer called Jessica Cornish

OMG SHE HAS AMAZING VOCALS! When I hear her sing I can hear the Grammy’s buzzing. Can’t wait til she drops her debut album. I’ll be first in line (of millions, hopefully) to get it

Okay, it’s so random to post photos of myself after that awesome video but my blog has been rather dull lately so please bear with me for the 837849734th time thank you.

With my bro

My almost Facebook profile photo.

I needs a hair cuts.

That’s all!

Cya!

Yesterday I learnt that the Internet is a very dangerous place to be. Reproducibility is no one’s issue here.

Today I went to Lazio at Danga Bay for Evonnebabe’s belated birthday celebration. The manager (I assume) approached me and told me he’s read my blog before and wish that I could perhaps write a review of the place. I think he might have googled ‘Lazio’ some time ago and stumbled upon my previous blog post about it. Or he just somehow figured out that I blogged because I was bloggery enough to take photos of the dessert table. If the latter was the case, I’d give him a lot of credit. Either way, I don’t think he knows who I am but I’ll still blog about Lazio because it’s one of my favourite restaurants in JB.

It’s been quite some time since we had a group photo outside Monash/Aloha, so here’s one finally!

Photo’s a bit grainy Should have bought the rechargeable batteries for the flash long ago!

Me and the celebrated girl. I call this my Hillbilly look!

That’s all!

Note to self: START POSTING AUSTRALIAN TRIP PHOTOS BEFORE THEY ROT!

Cya!

I’ve been wanting to do a mini photoshoot for quite some time now but never really got around doing it because there always seems to be no photograph subject when I actually have some time to spare. Today was an exception. I had both time and a subject to photograph – my long-term camwhore buddy Stacy Evonne. So with the help of a tripod, eyeliner and a white wall, we managed to produce some good shots.

I’d bring you through the tiny little details of the shoot but that would just discredit the photos. I’ll just say that the photos are simple, raw and sexy

More photos after the break!

Sorry I haven’t been updating as frequently as I promised. This week has been full of passing-out-on-the-bed-after-setting-unrealistic-alarms-for-the-next-morning nights. Guess what?

NO CLASS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo *throws confetti in the air*

Okay, that was bad. I shouldn’t be happy about having no class. But some classes are just dreadful. Like this morning’s Theme Teaching session. Blerrr. I feel nauseous just thinking about it.

Oh! And my LunchBox Project has been kinda dead. Mostly because I don’t have enough ingredients to cook But let’s hope I’ll go grocery shopping soon without letting any raw materials rot in the car/fridge again.

Also going stale are my photos from Australia. I should really blog about my trip in JUNE before I start forgetting the nitty-gritty details. However, I know it’s only right that I post up a thank you blog entry before I say anything about the trip. Afterall, I do have a lot of people to thank

And in case you don’t already know, I am crazy over trench coats. And band jackets. I saw this really awesome one at River Island but it costs SGD 199 T_________T It’s like exactly how I’ve always wanted my imaginary band jacket to be!! But too bad it costs a bomb. I shall go try it on and take a photo next time!

Anyway, here’s the one I tried on in Topman (again). I tried it for fun obviously because it’s not like I’ll ever wear it in this sort of weather anyway.

And I don’t really want it either. Now that I’m broke (again!) I can’t afford it either so.. whatever.

And the only reason I’m so broke is because of stupid AirAsia.

I booked my tickets back home for the Raya break and they cost a freaking bomb! I mean, I can easily fly to Vietnam with that kind of money and Vietnam is so much further than Miri okay?! On top of that, they had to charge for luggage AND tried to charge me for travel insurance which I didn’t wanna buy AND THEY HAD TO FREAKING CHARGE SOME FUCKING PROCESSING FEE FOR CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS.

So in order to save RM10 I paid directly through my bank account. Yes, I am so cheap and now my bank account is too.

Anyway, it’s almost 10 now. Which means it’s time for DROP DEAD DIVA – the funniest show on tv! Well, until they air Desperate Housewives at 11!! And then 90210 at midnight but I don’t care about that because it’s crap.

That’s all!

Cya!
