HOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW?!?!?!?!

I think I've suddenly lost my ability to bloggggggggggg!!!

I don't have anything interesting happening to me recently that doesn't involve the privacy of other people (which means I can't blog about it), and my life has settled into a flat boring plateau of comfort.

OKOK I know...

I shall blog about my (closer) girlfriends!!


Here's their birthdays:


MARCH

Kaykay: March 11th

Eileen: March 8th



APRIL

Qing qing: April 2nd

Shuyin: April 19th

Huifen: April 23rd

JUNE

June: June 1st

Rosalyn: June 20th

Wanyi: June 21st

Eekean: June 21st



FUNNY HOR?! It appears I can like my girls to be either from the star signs Pisces, Aries, Taurus or Gemini!

Of course I have other female friends who didn't fall in these signs but I guess I'm not that close to them as those mentioned here.

My female friends are all mostly born in the first half of the year, and almost all my closer guy friends are born in the second half (with the exception of maybe Ming)...

I wonder if the astrology horoscope shit works, or maybe it's just a coincidence? Do people who have their birthdays close to each other tend to have similar traits?

Do your friends have birthdays all close to each other?

Food for thought.

Speaking of food, I'm now fucking fat! I'm like 45kg, which is a 2 or 3 kg disparity from my usual of 42/43, and I'm telling you that 45kg is fucking fat for my height!!

CCB.

I saw Shuyin yesterday and she is DAMN skinny lor! I can see her ribcage all! She went to Shanghai and thought she'd binge there so she asked the doctor for appetite suppressant pills, and in the end she didn't binge in Shanghai so she now looks like a chopstick lor...

I told Mike my intentions to go get those pills too, and to my surprise he told me he also has those pills and he got them for his first trip to Singapore when he was super scared that I would think he is fat!

So just now, I ate a pill, and kuku bird! It doesn't work lor!

According to both Shuyin and Mike, the pills are supposed to:


- Increase your heartbeat rates (coz metabolism increases)

- Give you insommia (very unfortunate side-effect)

- Obviously make you not crave for food



Not only did I fall asleep on my bed 2 hours later (took a short nap) with an indifferently beating heart, I woke up to raving hunger pangs (at 2 am when I ate a full dinner at 8pm) and ate 8 egg tofus and 4 deep-fried spring rolls (which I cleverly ta bao-ed from Kelvin's bdae catering).

WHY DOESN'T IT WORK FOR ME!??

I'm super upset lor!

Am I destined to use photoshop to lose weight for the rest of my life??

At that rate of eating no wonder fat...

*****************

I know what else I can blog about!

I shall blog about typical reader comments which pissed me off recently...

I'm not quoting them word for word but these are the essential meanings to what they said:

1) You can lie about staying in a condo but I know you are not! Your room's layout is exactly the same as mine, and I stay in a HDB flat! And your princess room is so small, it can't be a condo.

.........

Excuse me, but why would I lie about staying in a dumbass condo? It's just a two-room condo in the very end of Singapore - it's not bloody Beverly Hills, so the puny bit of prestige is not even worth my effort to lie.

I've openly told everybody before that I used to stay in a 3-room flat in Teban Gardens, the armpit of Singapore, so why would I have a change of character and decide to lie about my lodgings?

It really pisses me off when people accuse me of things due to their own stupid ridiculous presumptions. Pisses me off even more when other stupid people believe these stupid people!

I'm sorry that your room is the size of my Princess Room, but I'd like to inform you that the "Princess Room" is only one-half of the rather large master bedroom...

Ok this is going nowhere.


2) I can't believe we are paying you but you are still not blogging after so long!


PAYING?

You mean like giving me MONEY?

SHUT THE FUCK UP, BITCH.

When did you ever pay me ANY money at all?

All you did was to read this site due to your own boredom/kpo-ness, and I DON'T OWE YOU ANY-FUCKING-THING.

If you don't like my tardiness in blogging, just fuck off, will ya?

I hope you get herpes.



3) Mike hasn't left you yet?

Nope... If he ever does I'll be sure to write about it, so you all can gloat and be marginally happier than what you usually are... because your own life is so miserable and sad. Sucks to be you, huh?


4) You (and Qihua) totally look like prostitutes blah blah blah.

Oh wow, you are SUCH AN INSULT GENIUS! I said I was mistaken for a hooker, and therefore, the insult you should say is that I do look like a hooker!

*roll eyes* Oh my, I am so hurt!

I don't care if you think I look like a hooker.

Girls would say that because they are incapable of dressing up like Qihua and I did, or even if they did, it would look shitty coz they are butt-plug ugly.

Guys would say that because they know that hooker-resembling or not, girls like Qihua and I would never fuck them, and it makes them bitter to see self-confident, vain girls.

That's why I always say, ugly people with self-esteem issues are the most annoying.


5) You are so ugly next to Qihua. You are so fat and fake and she is so pretty and natural.

When I told Qihua about this comment, she laughed and said she'd like to tell you guys that she has on eyelash extensions, hair extensions and of course make-up, so what's there to be so "natural" about?

I think it is very ludicrous that these unknown netizens have the nerve and audacity to comment on famous people's looks, because you are probably a sad, timid low-life in real life who would never even dare to speak to me.

Am I right? Would you tell me in my face that I am ugly, and not have me not have the immediate ready retort that you are hideous yourself?


I also don't care that you think Qihua is prettier than me, which she is... and there is nothing much I can do about that, unless I splash some concentrated acid on her face, which I won't because if she turns ugly she'd stop being so vain and I'd like her less.

What's your point in making an obvious comment like that? Are you trying to hurt me? Ruin friendships, perhaps?

It won't work, coz I only care that Mike thinks I'm hot and that I think I'm hot, so those two are satisfied and thus, nothing else really matters! :)

I understand the pleasure of insulting me though, because let's face it, if tomorrow Britney Spears has a blog too, I'd love to insult her and know that I am important enough to make someone as famous as Britney feel hurt.

Me, insignificant Wendy, managed to evoke emotions in the famous Britney Spears!

Complimenting someone is uncool and probably won't get you any attention; insults on the other hand might get you a reaction and not only seems outspoken and brave, but also sort of praises yourself at the same time (ie saying someone is stupid is also saying you are cleverer than that person)!

Insults are the no-brainer choice.

Whatever, dudes.

**************

Some photos I edited sorta for facebook.

Kaykay and I dressed up as Fafi!!

You won't believe how vain we are lor... We were du lan that we missed Halloween (and a chance to dress up), so one day, I just decided to jio Qihua to come over and take photos and she did... bringing with her an entourage of wigs, socks, and even a box of candy canes and a purple puff for what she called "props".

Lookit! My crazily thick eyelash extensions that have lasted for more than 2 weeks now! Never drop at all!! Call Carragheen at 68849924 if you wanna do too. There are different types of lashes (from $62 to $130) so if you want mine make sure you let them know you want Xiaxue's lashes.

Matchy matchy socks we bought in HK

I'm not including Kaykay's individual shots coz I want more attention on me, thanks! (at least I admit it lor...)

Random shots:

With Mike... in the second pic he took me out for fine(ish) dining! Which is very uncharacteristic of him... I love you bb!!

With my smelly bff



Me, photoshopped to death

Please don't ask me where I bought my colour contacts hor! You'd be horrified (and rather impressed) to know that I DID NOT WEAR CONTACTS AT ALL.

The light brown colour is purely done by photoshop. :D

Li hai or not! Just goes to show you can't trust any photo online at all!

Me and FUF (2007)

The View From Argyle Heights
by Homeowner Harry (Another in a series of observations about life in West Midwood as it is lived today…or maybe not)

Before going on vacation in August, I decided to get my car checked out for the 300 mile trip to Cape Cod. The inspiration for this was my next door neighbor Arthur Rhine, who rushed out of his house in pajamas one morning shouting “Where’s the explosion!?!” Then he saw me behind the wheel of my 1995 Mercury Sable and relaxed: “Thank God, it’s just your old jalopy.” At that exact moment, perhaps startled by the commotion, the engine died and I found myself at a dead stop in the middle of Argyle Road. I put the car in neutral, and ever so slowly, much to my amazement, it started inching forward, rolling down Argyle Road. So I guess it’s true, we are on a hill here. As I neared the corner of Glenwood, I turned the ignition and…it started up and off we went again, me and good ol’ FUF.

My car has a lot of names. To my neighbors who haven’t yet lost their hearing, it’s “That Wreck”. To tow truck operators covering Park Slope, it’s called “Come to Papa!” But to me and my family, it’s always been “FUF” – those are the first three letters of the license plate – and we have grown fond of FUF over the years. We couldn’t afford to put him out to pasture just yet, especially with all those law suits by the contractors we fired during our home renovations about to go to trial. But I needed a new repair shop because my old mechanic recently retired to Boca Raton based partially on the money he made fixing FUF – or as he called it, “KA-CHING!”.

So many repair shops to choose from and so little time before vacation was upon us, what was I to do? Well, I did what most men do these days when they face a major decision: first I watched TV to relax, then I fell asleep. But over the next few days, refreshed and energized, I canvassed family, friends and neighbors for recommendations and one pattern began to emerge: nobody I knew had a car as old as mine. Depressed, I began idly surfing the Internet and as I checked my email, I noticed a lot of messages from the Flatbush Development Corp’s discussion group, “FDConline” (to join, just send a blank email to fdconline-subscribe@yahoogroups.com).

The discussion of the day centered around the latest intelligence from credible sources overlooking Courtelyou Road: was that somebody moving something into an empty store rumored to become Connecticut Muffin? And what about those workmen who just entered the Cornerstone? Hmmmm…Maybe I could ask for help from these folks - they seemed to have their fingers on the pulse of the neighborhood after all. Well, so much thinking hurt my head so I headed back to the TV and blessed sleep. When my wife and son shook me awake to ask about the car repair, I realized the time had come for action. So, sitting down at my keyboard, I tried to imagine a message that would elicit immediate enthusiastic responses, explaining how attached I was to FUF and the noises it made and such but in the end, I went with the minimalist approach: “Anybody Know A Good Auto Mechanic?”

I received 10 replies, some of which sadly I can not print in a family newsletter. But there were only two establishments that garnered multiple recommendations, so I decided to try both of them: Superior Care at 3rd Ave & 19th Street in Park Slope, 718-768-0622; and Sal’s at 1834 Utica Avenue between Avenue J & K, 718-377-5728. Would you believe it? Neither of them recommended doing anything about the noise FUF made – both attributed the racket to the catalytic converter, which was fairly new, and assessed that one of the internal filters had come loose. They felt the noise might just go away on its own (which it did, as soon as I got to Cape Cod) and aside from a oil change I asked for at one joint and a new water pump at the other (both very reasonably priced), neither tried to sell me a repair I didn’t need. Amazing. I recommend both of these places – call to make an appointment first because being honest is popular these days.

As I write this, the holiday season is upon us and FUF is still going strong, although she does get a little noisy from time to time. When that happens, I just put FUF in neutral and roll down Argyle Heights, hoping that this small gesture on my part will in its own meager way, help to slow global warming.

How do young people communicate nowadays? It's ridiculous.

I remember the era when I used to write tomorrow as tomolo (in fact, embarrassingly visible during the start of my blogging days) but the kids nowdays are just completely mad can?

Junne was telling me about how they speak on msn:

Junne:
iie, eeu, gort, wib, lorrs,issh --> are these even words?
they're jus sounds. gosh.


Me:
oh dear
what is wib
that is just ridiculous
what is iie??

Junne:
eeu is YOU, iie is I, got is got, wib is with, issh is IS

Me:
gort is actually 1 alphabet more than got leh
why would they do that??

Junne:
go ask ur bro
lol


And with those words of hers, today I indeed encountered exactly that.

I had a dilemma coz Mike is going out drinking with his colleagues again and no doubt he will come home belligerent, drunk, and 5 hours later than the time he claims he will be home (OK I'm exaggerating a bit, bit yeah, hate when he goes drinking with them), so I didn't want to stay alone at home waiting for him and wasting a good Friday.

Unfortunately for me, my delinquent brother Clinton, 14, said he had a little bridge in between chalets.

One ends at 10pm and the other starts at 2pm, so in between he is stuck in Pasir Ris and wanted to come over to my place (which is 5 mins from Downtown East) to stay the night.

So I got 1 delinquent and 1 belligerent drunk both coming home at ten.

I don't wanna wait at home for them coz both are super untrustworthy!


Thus I called my brother, with his line being engaged.

Few seconds later came a message from him:


"Who are yo0h ...i can only msg ."


Exactly like that, with all the dots and spacings untouched.

Guess it's because his Hi-card doesn't have any more credit or something. Juvenile problems.


I replied:

"I am your sister. What time are you coming over tonight? I wanna go out tonight but you can come too. Can you come over earlier?"


.

Clinton:

"Who my sister .. ?whiich sister .. ?"

................................................

...............

.........






GOT SIBEH A LOT OF SISTERS LEH!

HE THINKS MY MOTHER CAN POP SO MANY OUT MEH!


I replied:

"OMG I am going to KILL YOU! I am your REAL sister! Didn't you say you are coming over tonight? Are you that stupid?! And reply my previous sms!"


The reply:

"Yo0h mean yo0h're clinton real sis ...clinton's not using this number alrd."



OMG sibeh paiseh. Stupid brother change number never tell me.

Well, these about summarize my life.

My current nick is "I want a stardust dormouse NOW!"

Because I am obsessed over that animal!

Don't know how many of you seen Stardust yet (GO WATCH IT NOW!) but in the movie the male lead got turned into what was described in the movie as a "mouse"...

But mice are triple-f ugly with their bald tails! Especially the white ones with pink eyes... eww!

And yet, in the show the little grey "mouse" shown had a bushy long tail and super humongous eyes and a soft pink twitchy nose...

So I googled "bushy-tailed mouse" and I found out that the animal used in the movie is called either an African dormouse or... an Edible/Fat dormouse.

I'm not even kidding!! It's thus named Edible because it is considered a delicacy in ancient Rome or something...

Can you believe that one would eat something soooooo fuckkkkkkking cute??!!!!!!

The nose and the ears and the whiskers are super twitchy lor! Bloody cute!!


Apparently got brown and grey kinds... I like the greys more.


Ke ai...







They are super lazy and they are always hibernating!!!

CUTE NOT!!! Curled up and all...

Last pic the cutest lor!

Awwwwwwwww!!!!

Dormice are so cute!!

THE PICS DON'T DO THEM JUSTICE, THEY LOOK 100% CUTER IN THE MOVIE!

I keep asking Mike to catch me one and he keeps patronising me by saying he will.

When I asked him why he even bothers to answer my endless inane questions (Example: I am a bunny, ok? OK? OK?) when he totally doesn't mean his answers at all, he looked at me and said that it's because I won't stop pestering him for an answer until he answers me.

Which is true. I need a constant stream of attention, or I'll just drop dead and die.

No seriously! While other people's biggest fear may be heights or spiders, mine is the fear of being ALONE (and not knowing if I'll ever have company again).

I'd rather, for example, choose to be stuck in a secluded island forevermore with Steven Lim (provided he wouldn't rape me) than be alone. That's how bad it is!

I think I'd rather die than be alone. :(

When I asked Qihua whether she would rather be stuck on an island forevermore with this horribly stupid, mad and vapid chick she knows (I can't say the name...) or Steven Lim, she immediately chose Steven Lim lor! (also provided he won't rape or molest la)

She said he is a boy so can she make use of him to build houses and transport items what...

When I asked "Then he sing song all that to you how?! Then keep talking rubbish and acting crazy..." she said with the air of someone completely indifferent, "Just ignore him whenever he talks la!"

So bad hor make use of people to move things then when people talk you ignore him...

ANYWAY BACK TO THE DORMOUSE!

I wanna buy one but apparently they are all endangered and shit! What's wrong with all these cute creatures! Slow loris also endangered!



*Oh yeah the pubes issue...

(This probably won't interest the guys, not that the dormouse photos did)

Super duper embarrassing lor. Today right, I went to *ahem* somewhere to do IPL on you-know-where la...

The thing is, IPL is damned expensive right, and people at spas and all are always trying to make us sign bloody 2k worth of packages - like 8 sessions of IPL or something.

For those of you who don't know, IPL is using some lasers to get rid of body hair semi-permanently, and if you shoot your skin for around 8 times or so, all the hairs will stop growing for around 2 years.

So I checked with this place (let's call it S... although I think you all know what it is) how much their IPL costs.

Apparently, if you sign a package that costs like thousands, each session is around $360.

Now if you imagine, that machine is bought for a definite price, and each session only involves the beautician shaving off your pubes for you and rolling a cold metal roller on you and then shooting rays into your skin... for 15 mins, and it's done.

Worth $360 meh!?

To the company, doing an IPL for someone only costs:


- 30min of an employee's time (if $10 per hour, I count this as $5)

-15mins of electricity for the machine (maybe 50 cents)

- rental of the day divided by 48 divided by amount of customers in the shop at that time = $10 maybe?

- Aircon I benefited from (free...? or maybe $0.20, I dunno)



RIDICULOUS LOR!


This is assuming they have earned back the money they spent on a machine, which I am sure they have.

(Qihua says I cannot count like that, companies charge us according to how much we save from waxing in the long run etc... Still! That would mean that places probably can afford to give way more competitive prices what!)


So needless to say, I wouldn't pay $360 for one measly IPL session.

However, the first trial costs $180 only (still steep, but at least S is a trusted place).

In most places, first trial sessions are mostly much much cheaper than the usual, coz they want you to come back and sign a package with them!

So around 4 months ago, I did my first trial - and it was good!

After that, I thought to myself...

Why not I be super brilliant and just go to different places to do free trials all the time?!

That way I can save a lot of money right?!

Thinking that S probably has a lot of beauticians and they won't recognise me, I went to a different outlet and did IPL again... and it costed me $180 again.

Happily, I thought they keep records based on credit cards (and the first time I paid by cash) so I drew out $180 and went to S for another "first" trial today.

The girl at the counter asked me if it's the first time I am doing IPL.


"Yes," I confidently replied.

"What's your phone number?" she asked.

I felt a tinge of dread, but gave her my number anyway.

"You never did it before?" she politely asked me. "But our records say that you did it twice before..."

"Oh," I had an answer ready. "That was my mom, I booked for her..."

"Oh but it says here you already did it two times..." she argued. Another beautician walked into the counter and stood beside her to see what the commotion was about.

"Yeah both times are her, I dunno la..." I replied, and I was getting ready to take on the 'how dare you accuse me' approach for good measure when the quiet beautician beside the receptionist quipped up...


"Shang ci shi wo bang ni zuo de..." ("Your previous IPL session was done by me")



Completely can't recognise her coz she looks quite nondescript!!!!

I can imagine that my face literally deflated and turned a shade of pink that couldn't be seen underneath my make-up.

There was an awkward silence while all revelled in my amazingly bad ability to lie, and the receptionist, recovering the fastest, continued by trying to convince me to take on the "package".

These people never quit!

Completely embarrassed, I got stuck in limbo between apologizing for my blatant lie and acting like nothing happened - in the end of course I chose the cowardly way, and, unwilling to pay $360, got a normal wax instead.

Sigh.

Those people are damn pro lor! They completely acted like nothing happened. I presume that people try to cheat them of first trials all the time.

Next time I am going to JB to do.

Cheap lor there!! And plus, won't get recognised!!

I hope they don't cut people's clits off or something.

"SORRY MAM, WE THOUGHT YOU WANT CIRCUMCISION, NO?"

Feng diao...


OEI STOP SAYING I AM GIAM OK! $360 per IPL session is fucking ex la! And I am not being cheap, I am being smart! If I got to different salons to do first trials, I am not cheating them what! It is indeed my first trial with that particular salon!


Good night!

I'm going to play Luxor on my new PSP and sleep.

I bought a new PSP!! Traded in my bandung-pink one for a shimmery baby pink one. The new PSPs are much much smaller and slimmer and chioer and lighter than the old ones!

I coaxed Qihua to buy it by casually mentioning that they are selling it in purple, her fav colour. Heeheheehe! I am a BAD friend!

p/s: My facebook is chioness!! Please DO NOT add me if I don't know you personally though!

RADIANCE

This painting is called Radiance. It is large painting 92 x 208 cm and I think it is startling. This is what I wanted to achieve and from the comments I have received I am more sure that I have acheived this.

The painting's format is similar to Thank Goodness ie: a layered work which plays with perspective. The viewer seems to see the painting from many angles...from above, below, in front and even behind. Questions are asked...Is there a tree or is it a layer of the earth? Is there a sky or is this another layer of the earth?

I wanted to give the impression that the earth is 'radiance'...that every part of it is glorious...that even the minutae, unseen by the human eye, are part of the radiant light which reassures us that we and the earth are alive.

I wanted to create a painting that gave the viewer hope and confidence to face the sombre news we read each day about our affects on the planet. This is not to ignore that these issues are real and important, but more to invigorate people and keep them from despondency. The problems seem too large for the mere mortal to have a positive affect, but each and everyone of us can have a positive influence on the survival of the planet whether it be by planting a tree, turning the lights off, praying, joining an action group or envisioning the planet as healthy, rich and fertile.

Study anywhere, everywhere!

Advertorial

The average person spends 40 hours a week at work, 10 hours traveling to and from work, and 49 hours sleeping.

Work, of course, pays you money (so you can be alive to spend even more time working), so you should spend time doing it.

Sleeping is enjoyable and rather inevitable, so yeah... can't do anything about it.

Traveling (and I mean like commuting from place to place, not holiday traveling) is however, completely stupid and annoying.

How many times have we been on the stupid MRT and seeing all these people zoning out doing absolutely nothing while their lives swiftly fly past them like AMK station just did?

Sometimes I even wish that I stayed just in a completely tiny village where everything I need is within a 3 minute walk, so I don't need to waste my life sitting out a damn traffic jam which is not even my fault!

But then again I think that in this case I won't have so much variety for shopping so I hurriedly regret my wish and hope that it had not reached the "Hope register counter" somewhere in Heaven or something where somebody approves wishes.

Ahem.

My point is...

Informatics has just came up with a brilliant idea!

It's called the Informatics Mobile Learner programme - and, I quote, it is to "provide students who cannot attend regular class and are constantly on the move, easy access to learning and acquiring qualification".

Everyone knows that doing part-time studying while working a full-time job is very tiring, which is why people tend to stop their life-time learning whenever they start working.

The reason why part-time studying is difficult is because it is time-consuming - to travel to the school, absorb new information when your brain is already tired from work, and then travel back home again.

Informatics now gives the option of doing your studying anytime you want, and more importantly of all, anywhere you want!!

All in one brilliant, shimmery tiny memory card:

That can be put into a palmtop

TADAH!!

Brilliant right?

The memory card contains all the information you need, and it can be put into a palmtop, or a laptop, or played in your car's audio system... even a psp if you have the right program for it!

Audio lessons... PAY ATTENTION NOT IN CLASS!

These portable equipment you can carry with you to absorb new knowledge whenever you have free time - be it waiting in a queue, or waiting for the bus, or you know... shitting. :D

Now instead of wasting all your time just zoning out on MRTs or feeling annoyed that you can't take your education a step further because you work long hours - you can study own-time-own target and best of all, whenever you are ready, go take the exams!

The course also features a 24/7 round-the-clock service, as well as an academic certificate awarded upon the completion of each module. (After submitting the required 8 certs, you wll be provided with your internationally-recognised Diploma)


The person who came up with this idea is really quite brilliant - maybe I can take up a new course during the 3 weeks I'm going to be in Dallas with Mike?

Hmmm.... SKARLY I COME BACK SUPER SMART HOW?!

Well... I know there are people out there with drive and hungry for more knowledge but really can't afford the time to study.

This should be quite suitable for you too!!

If you want to get more information regarding Informatics Mobile Learner programme (click for website!!), you can email them at enquiry@informaticseducation.com, or call them at 9362 9292.

The hotline is 24/7 so you can even call now if you want to!! (My "now" is like 5am as I am writing this)

OK... Random pictures of me cam-whoring with their lessons in a palmtop.

Stardust and holidays

Don't worry I didn't die in Macau!!

I am so happy today!!

I met up with Shuyin and Weili for a movie, and the two of them suggested watching this show called Stardust... Some fairy tale story with Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes in it. I was not quite keen on it (personally wanted to watch Saw 4), since most fantasy movies tend to turn out rather disgusting, but man...

STARDUST WAS MUTHAFUCKING FANTASTIC!!!!!

It is soooo romantic and magical I kept having goosebumps thoughout the show!! Hehe... It's so awesome when you get an unexpectedly good movie. :)

It's too complicated for me to even give a summary of the show so just go and watch it!!

And the male lead, Charlie Cox, is fucking cute!!! Well amazingly enough, at the start of the show he was really quite ugly then he magically turned handsome with the help of longer hair, better fitting clothes and a pair of prince-y knee-high boots.

His lips look almost vulgarly sexy.

Anyway, (notice how I am completely avoiding the topic of how long I haven't blogged) photos from the trip!!

Macau is like... HORRIBLE.

Everywhere in the tiny city are big casino and grand hotels with flashing neon signs, but underneath the Vegas-like grandeur is an underdeveloped city with its underdeveloped citizens!

To cut that short, I mean that everyone there is like super unclassy!

Everywhere Kaykay and I went, people kept treating us like prostitutes!

Kept getting carded and being asked for our hotel card and identification - it's horrible la!

AND WE WEREN'T EVEN DRESSED SKIMPILY LOR!!!

I guess I can't really blame the men there for staring lecherously, but the hotel staff ought to know better right?

How can you treat your PAYING guests like they are social escorts without even giving them the benefit of doubt?

Even the newly-opened Venetian was like that!

It's so bloody unfair la! I'm a fucking normal tourist and I am educated and I have a proper job and all!!! (Fine, it's not a conventional "proper" job, but I'm not fucking for money, am I??!)

But then again, what would a young female be doing holidaying in Macau where there is nothing but gambling to do? Sigh... The logical conclusion for them is that we are prostitutes.

Fucking stupid la! Would prostitutes be jabbering to each other in good English?


And speaking of men staring at girls...

HOW MANY OF YOU AGREE WITH ME: MEN WHO ASK WOMEN IF THEY ARE SOLICITING FOR SEX OUGHT TO BE PUNISHABLE BY LAW.

Seriously, having a guy come up to your face and asking "How much?" is about the most unjust thing to happen to a girl.

It can happen to just about ANYONE however conservatively dressed, and there is nothing we can do about it except to walk off in a huff, insulted.

It is not fair that men have the liberty to do that to innocent women who aren't soliciting for sex - just because they take the tiniest flare of a nostril to mean we want their penis in our mouths!

WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SUCKING YOUR COCK! MAYBE YOUR MOTHER WILL!

If a real prostitute wants to do business, then SHE WOULD APPROACH YOU FIRST, you don't have to ask her how much!

If any guy dares to ask me "how much" (never happened before because once I see their horny smile I know what is coming up and I quickly walk away), this is how I would respond:

Lecher: "How much? You me go Geylang... Happy."

ME: "..."

- Takes out a parang out of nowhere and slices his head off. -

That ought to be how this thing is settled but obviously I would be too scared to have an old man in close proximity to do anything other than walk away.

How would men feel if doctors walking around openly and loudly asked them if they want penis enlargements? In public!

How about if the men answer indignantly, "I don't have a small penis!" and the doctor mutters, "Yeah... but you LOOK like you have one..."

It's presumptuous and extremely rude, isn't it?

Preparing to go on lousy Tiger Airways...

To be fair it's not as bad as Jetstar or whatever airlines it is that has leather seats la...

The Budget Airport is really damn sad though... it looks like the canteen of a factory building!

When I took out my camera to take a photo of the plane, the usher told me I can't take photos. (which I did anyway, putting the camera at waist-height)

This "No photos!" started the bout of tyranny against photo-taking for this entire holiday...

It is the same everywhere in the casinos 4 hours later. Some fucker whips out his hand all the time to tell you the same thing: "No photos in casino!"

Qihua's bf picks us up and we eat!!

Now said bf's name is KK Chan, and Qihua's nickname is Kaykay, so as you can see, it is kinda confusing to call said Bf KK, and that's why we all affectionately call him "Uncle Robert" even though he is neither uncley nor Roberty.

Anyway Uncle Robert sponsored the hotel room for us coz he is in Macau for the Indoor Games (Uncle Robert is Singapore's best pool player!!) and he is staying with his coach but he wants Qihua to come... so that leaves Qihua's room free for me to invade!

Me giving a disapproving point at Macau's big pollution.

AND I don't think I look like a prostitute in any way.

Posing outside the hotel's lifts.

We go to the Venetian for lunch! I shall not write much about it since it didn't invite me to go stay for it's grand opening. Hmpf!

Anyway, the aircon inside is fucking freezing cold la!

I swear to god it's like 12 degrees inside - even with jeans and a jacket you still feel a bit chilly.

WE ARE NOT FRESH SEAFOOD WE WON'T ROT WITH A BIT OF WARMTH YOU KNOW!

Believe it or not, the sky and the shops are fake!

This is completely indoors.

And that, my love, is the how the food court looks like. :) Chio hor!






Uncle Robert and Qihua... Hao lian la your bf national player!


Qihua got completely freaked out by these roast pigeons.




Fat fries from Fatburger.


Magically arranged by the talented Qihua


And voila! She says this is me!
Got mole under the eye somemore... -_-


The white white clam pasta is super freaking nice!




In the boring "flea mart" that the brochures recommended.
It's absurdly horrible.


Peanut thingy seller


Qihua thinks I look hilarious coz I am acting blind...

Second day... We moved to Sands, where an elusive friend of Uncle Robert's is a high roller so we could get the fucking huge suite for a relatively cheap price!

It's ridiculous, I never stayed in such a big room before.

The said high-roller friend, whose nickname is Kapo, described the suite in the following manner:

"You got see before Pretty Woman? Haha you will feel like her la!"

I'm sure he didn't mean to add to the "mistaken as prostitutes" feeling that we already got, but when I went into the suite, the first thing I thought was that Richard Gere's room was actually smaller.

Qihua leading the way in...


Scary mirror once you open the door!


Turn right into a corridor


CHI BA BOOM! It's divided into 3 parts!


Toilet...
With en-suite jacuzzi big enough for 2 people to go into comfortably.

Water flows out from the metal thingy KK is lying on in a beautiful flat flap.


Looks way smaller than real life in the photo!

I have to gush about the toilet bowl...



It has whatever this butt-washing thing is called.

And the most amazing of all, the toilet bowl seems to have a life of it's own.

The cover lifts itself up when you walk close to it, and when you sit on the seat, it is immediate bliss...





BECAUSE THE SEAT IS WARM.


Not everyone may appreciate a jacuzzi or a butt-washing system (personally don't use it), but a warm toilet seat is fucking awesome and liked by everyone man!!

When I become super rich need time I'll hire a person JUST FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF WARMING MY TOILET SEAT.

The whoever will just sit down on the seat the whole day long and wait for me to do my businesses, then sit some more, using his body warmth to make shitting more comfortable for me.

He won't be able to use my toilet bowl so when he wants to do his own business (MINE ONLY!), he has to move to the servant's toilet.

And he better hurry back fast, or else if I go to the toilet and find it empty, and woe betide him, cold, he would be in serious trouble!! MUAHAHA!

Qihua very happy coz the mirror is amply big and we both have our own sinks.

Bored during your jacuzzi? Thinking you are missing the morning news while brushing your teeth?

Fret not!! Toilet TV!

That's the tv and a happy me.


King-sized super comfy bed with own LCD TV.


Living room with a best pool player and a high-roller.

Table laid out with fruits, chocolate pralines, and cookies.



Useless bit of the room with fax machine, writing table, and pointing orchids.

Really quite shiok!

There is also a two-doored walk-in wardrobe that has full length mirrors on both the doors, so Qihua and I don't have to fight!

The only bad thing about the hotel (besides the fact that they treat us like prostitutes) is that when I told them that my nail broke and asked if they could bring me a nail clipper, they told me that they don't have nail clippers for loan.

That would have been fine, but then they continued by saying I could BUY a set from them... FOR FORTY BUCKS!

SIAO BOH?! NAIL CLIPPER 40 DOLLARS, MADE OF YOUR DEAD GREAT GRANDFATHER'S SHIT AH, SO PRECIOUS?!

Lao niang sighed at them and asked for a pair of scissors instead.

We try on our Macau purchases...

(This is edited for facebook that's why got one black rim)

My nurse outfit!! Only 20 bucks leh... Cheap!!


Nice not!


Qihua trys it on too, with her ballet flats.

Next day we prepare to go on a day trip to HK!

Have to take a 1 hour ferry.

Qihua borrows my newly bought glitter bag ($30) which was a mistake coz it is so rough to the touch it scratched her quite a number of times...

But it is chio!

OK we both look very weird here, but whatever... Qihua's eyelash extensions are messy.

Expensive lor! To and fro is almost 70 bucks. :(


US

I don't know why, but I took two more pictures of myself and they both turn out eerie...

(I kept the pimple there to show I am human despite being almost perfect)



WTF...

Had no idea the people behind us were so scary!!


HONGKONG!!!

So much better than Macau!


Happy girls!

First stop: Mongkok - Ladies' street!

Wigs for 20 SGD! We both bought... light pink for me and dark purple for Qihua. :D

Many hours of shopping later...

Super exhausted on the MTR on the way back to our hotel...


Our shopping is super duper heavy!


Hands are completely red and hurt from the bag-carrying.

BUT IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!!


Purchases:




Everything in this pic is mine...


Items with stars are mine.





Happy boh! And all the things are freaking cheap!

My best buy is either the gold satin jacket ($40... not that cheap but SG cannot find) or the gold casual wedge slippers (12!!) or the matchy-matchy pink fake LV bags... Can't decide!

Maybe it's the nurse outfit.

Next day we go to the Macau stadium to watch Uncle Robert compete...

ALAS!! Mongolia didn't come at all, so Uncle Robert won! It's a walkover.

Qihua and high-roller Kapo kept laughing at me coz I don't know pool terms and kept saying stuff like "Golden Snook" and jump ball or whatever.

NOT EVERYONE CARES ABOUT SPORTS (and games) LOR!!

A guy was standing right where I was standing, and I wanted to take a photo there but the guy seemed oblivious to my subtle attempts to take over his spot.

I said to Qihua, "Yo, go shout at that guy and make him go away leh! I wanna take photo there!"

I was being completely not serious but to my horror she obliged immediately... She didn't shout at the poor guy (might be already dejected coz he looks a bit Mongolian-ish), but did indeed ask him to go away, which he did with a dirty look at me.

Not my fault!

After watching a bit more we left for HK again!!

This time, we did our nails:

Qihua's... Purple glitter powder and peach and white crystals!


Mine... Pink glitter with pink and green crystals!

MAN! The photos don't do the nails justice coz they are damn shimmery in real life!

Mine was just $80, which is freaking cheap coz it is French Gel, which costs at least $100 in Singapore, non-inclusive of all the nail art!

Two of my ten nails are fake tips too, coz they broke during the first two days of the trip.

Damn happy la!!

The crystals are all DEEPLY embedded into the hardy gel, so I think that this manicure can probably last at least 1 month. Yippee!
