Of Belated Birthdays and Goodwill

30 Nov 2008 5 Comments

Somehow, something tells me most people think that I’m a lazy ass, whether or not I’m willing to acknowledge it.

For example, on the eve of my 22nd birthday I “kind of fainted” thus prompting me to apply for one day’s medical leave on my birthday. Which obviously resulted in plenty of gossiping on behalf of the administrative staff who were actually sharp enough to notice that it was my birthday (impressive!!). And because I had a late night out, I decided to extend my medical leave to the next day hoho thank you doctor! Tai sai 2 days off to celebrate mua birthday.

[Oh lord I am turning 23 next year which is like in one month’s time wtffff I feel so old I’m past my prime I’m over the hill…. In another year or two I’ll probable be able to fling my saggy boobs over my shoulders sigh >T_T< (arrows represent crows feet wtf)]

Anyhuu, it seems the birthday leave thing is gonna be a trend cause this week, Miss Fei Hoong decided to stay home on her birthday.

When she finally decided to come back to work, our PRP (provisionally registered pharmacist aka. junior/noob pharmacist) gang took her to lunch at Manhattan Fishmarket in Cineleisure to celebrate.

Kiasu camel downed 4 cans of Coke and then we got stuck in a traffic jam on the way home bwahahaha tai sei the fella had to hold his pee in all the way home.

I’m not really a fan of Manhattan so all I had for lunch was seafood chowder, a strawberry milkshake and a slice of her birthday cake. The rest stuck to the mundane choice of fish and chips for some particular reason.

Yalarrr I’m 23 lar… see my candles!!!~ Not 32 ok!

Halfway through lunch this stupid Dennis called me old again so I emoed haih.

I’m not old larrrrrr okayyy! Shit you ah….

Don’t know why age is becoming such a sensitive issue for me. Maybe cause I just realised the “Forever 21” dream is but a myth.

Self service groupie of our reflection in the large mirror hanging on the wall.

Happy Birthday Fei Hoong!!! =)))

***

Got home from gym this morning and found a parcel waiting for me.

EXCITEDNYE!!!!

The parcel was from Bilin all the way from UK omg! =))))))

Upon ripping of the (lovely) wrapping paper, I saw a crushed box of erm… nachos?

I’ve actually seen this in Aldi wtf but never bothered to try it. Is it yummy??? But why does the box look ten thousand years old seriously it’s yellowing lar!!! hahaha

But obviously Bilin wouldn’t send me a complete nachos kit all the way from UK, no matter how infinitely complete the kit may be.

Instead, the box contained a gorgeous halter top from ASOS and a birthday card =)))))

Bilin I loved the card!!! Actually I love all your cards lar damn funny okay the stupid blue eyes and Swensen’s icecream thing wtffff brings me back to our childhood days. Oh and you even remembered about the Tube map T_T “mind the gap” wtf.

I dunno why since damn long ago edi she always draw round eyes to represent me.

She even drew 2 pink strawberry icecream scoops cause she remembered it’s my fav T_T But that black and white one looks quite yucky haha.

Mind map of what our friendship stands for.

I can’t believe the top fits me perfectly omg I can actually wear UK clothing!

Tied the bow at the back to enhance my butt wtf meoowww.

Yahoo now I have something to wear for Christmas hehehehe except that I won’t be able to eat much in this top haha. Nevermind I shall suffer willingly for the sake of prettiness.

Thanks for the card and pressie!!! Love you Bilin!!

Yun and I are thinking about visiting an orphanage sometime around Christmas, because I think the fishing plan wouldn’t be very appropriate.

We don’t really have much to donate except for plenty of soft toys but I think that should be better than nothing right? Actually I think we wanna kepohchi go to talk and play with the kids only lar hehe.

I was wondering whether you guys have any suggestions about orphanages within/around Subang and whether anyone else would be interested to go along.

Tis 1 Month Til Jingle Jangle Day

Wuuhuu!!! One month til my favouritest time of the year!!

CHRISTMASSSS HO HO HO!!! *jinglejangles jiggly belly.

I totally missed out on the celebrations and makan-makan back in Malaysia last year as I was stuck in miserable Scotland, working my ass off selling hair extensions and toupees to bald Scottish people on Christmas day. Talk about saddeningness.

Although it was nice getting to experience a White Christmas for the first time in my life (not really also lar cause it only started snowing some time in January, goddammit could Christmas in Scotland be any sadder??), it only incited the homesickness in me even more (gramatically dodgy sentence here).

(Stop bracketting, liping)

Anywaysssss…

This year I’ll be home and so will everyone else. Except that everyone will probably be too busy with work assignments and sexy lovers and sexy time and sexercise (a la Bilin) to spend unsexy time with me boo.

In case you’re wondering, Mr Bf will be gone to Taiwan for Christmas, hence the sexcapade bitterness wtf.

ladidaa…….

Now where was I? *bursts Red & Green stockinged fantasy bubble.

Oh yes, Christmas plans.

Ever since we were in high school, Yun and I have dreamt of having a fabulous fancy dinner in some posh hotel with the gang on the eve and we vowed to realise our oh-so-subtly materialistic dream upon graduating and getting a fulltime job. No idea if the others were actually willing to fork out the moolah to participate in our plans but oh well, some arm twisting would have done the trick.

Years passed and the two of us are still poor mah zhai aih.

But it’s ok we shall just wait till Eugene Wong Su Khok comes back hohoho wtf got your full name here already hor cannot escape!

As of this moment, the Christmas eve countdown together is confirmed, although dinner plans are not. No idea what Imma be up to on Christmas day itself tho.

Yun suggested shopping but as my income bracket is currently categorized under “non-existent”, I protest.

I really wanna do something good and special, like visiting an orphanage or going fishing if it rains (banjir kilat) wth but there’s just so much one can do in one day.

The oh-so-wise Yun also suggested using the day to rehearse for CNY by sharpening our mahjong skills doublewth but I’m not so sure how the neighbours will feel about hearing noisy mahjong “swimming” sounds the whole day instead of cheery jinglejanglechingchingchings.

Really, I think the whole reason I love Christmas is because it imparts this feeling of warmth and safety and comfort and because we get to spend time with people we love. Which by right should mean the family, but oh well we all know mine kinda has issues. OH and I simply *hearts* all of them colourful wonderful happy blingbling Christmas decorations too!!

Therefore it doesn’t really matter what we do as long as we get to come together to share in the joy and laughter and merriment and tears and sweat and body odour wtf. And let’s not forget the rum and wine too.

I seriously need a new closet.

Mine is so tiny I literally stuffed it til it burst.

Presenting the pathetic excuse of a closet my dad deems “sufficient”:

With a closet this tiny, it’s no wonder 90% of my clothes are under 2 years old cause I keep having to throw the old stuff out in order to make room for all them new purchases.

I’ll give you 10 bucks if you can spot more than 3 items I bought over 2 years ago:

What happened was that I kept stacking folded clothes at the bottom of the closet into piles. Unfortunately for me, everytime I tried to hunt for something to wear I would accidentally push the stack of clothes against the back of the closet in my haste and frustration. Thus leading to this:

Cheap plywood courtesy of cheapskate daddy.

Well, that’s what I think happened lar. It might not have been my fault at all – the cupboard might have just fallen to pieces on its own accord, you know, being cheap plywood and all.

So yeah, after discovering the hole in my closet (suspiciously connected to the hole in my pocket $_$), I had to rearrange my stuff and now I feel so untidy cause all the stuff I seldom wear is just crammed into a bookshelf wth.

And now lizards and cockroaches will have a back entrance to their new Gold Class loo wtf.

Definitely no more shopping for me! *jiayou liping!!!

Random photo of my lazy pets tsktsk bad influence on me lar.

And lastly, to you gulible vainpots out there, here’s showing that you just can’t stinge when it comes to beauty:

As if our Asian skin ain’t oily enough tsk.

A Librarian’s Birthday, the Great Flood and Poppy on a Whim

NoooOOooOOoooooooooOooOOOOOoOOo!~

My blog has not died ok. Stop nagging me to update Miss Khor I’m a working OL very busy wan ok.

As can be seen below wtf.

(And I just took 6 mins to resize ONE photo because my laptop is being cb – blogging damn time consuming k)

And now I’m rushing to go out again so don’t mind the badly written post ya =)

…

On Thursday Yun decided to ular from work so I asked her to come find me at work lor. Cause I needed to get my medical check up done, and I wanted to stinge on a hundred bucks so I had to do it at a government Klinik Kesihatan, the nearest of which was in Kelana Jaya. However, knowing me I obviously did not know the way there so Yun agreed to drive me there lor <333

Plan failed tho cause the stupid clinic requires appointments to be made and the next opening was a week later damn mafan.

Before heading home we went to Baker’s Cottage to pick up a cake cause…. it was the librarian’s birthday.

Wtf.

Meet Magesh, the librarian who according to herself is celebrating her Sweet 16 (EHEM). Good thing I didn’t ask for candles =p

LR: Zeti, Azri, Magesh, me and Sara.

And the already happening day got a little bit more exciting when a few of our IMU-mates turned up at the bureau cause they were having their job interviews. Damn slow right, people work for dunno how many months edi, this people now only going for interview ish.

Mini IMU reunion.

In case you’re wondering, Thursdays are batik/baju kurung days.

…

On the way home after work I swear I ALMOST DIED cause it rained so heavily my little Kelisa almost got swept away by the currents.

The whole of USJ 18/19 literally looked like one massive swimming pool with water rushing about, thank god some crocodile didn’t crawl out of the longkang wtf.

Photo taken along the main road opposite USJ 18.

I had never seen USJ this flooded in all my many many years living here lor!!! Halo, USJ leh not some small kampung wor. Damn exciting wtf.

Got lorry and mini bus parked on the benteng to escape the water!!

Loads of cars “drowned” that day, especially the vertically challenged Kancils hoho cause it was freaking jammed so they weren’t able to escape to higher ground on time.

…

On Saturday night Juju and I had a nice dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co at the Curve. The concept restaurant delivered in terms of ambience and style but I wouldn’t say the food was excellent. Still, not a bad choice for occasions.

And then Yen said she was going to Poppy so I felt like going too but I was damn tulan cause I was wearing a COLLARED shirt and PINK ballerinas wtf damn ugly ok. But then everyone told me to just “not give a damn” since I already had a boyfriend anyways wth. And I felt like going cause I haven’t been to Poppy since they renovated. Although I felt so damn ugly and tired ish. AND I made Juju ffk his friends at Sanctuary boo thanks sayang!

But before heading to Poppy, we celebrated the birthdays of Keith Wayne and V Chai at TGIF.

Keith and V Chai delivering their birthday song performance.

Kenneth, SK and Yun.

The TGIF guy was so funny lar! Once he discovered both Keith and V Chai were single, he went to the next table of chicks to try and find them a partner wth damn malufying ok!

The man loves his job.

His efforts were not wasted as he managed to extract two chicks willing to play along. Sad to say no numbers were exchanged that night =(

…

Poppy was incredibly packed – no surprise since they don’t restrict entries per bottle.

And despite the heat and constant elbowing, I managed to enjoy myself, mainly cause Yen was there. If not for her then confirm batang fest again sobs. Damn boring wan k nobody dance with me.

The guy in white is Ung Wei Shern who is apparently our Seafield junior by a year. I think he looks a bit familiar lar but I don’t really remember ever seeing him in school.
