MERRY XMAS!

the past week had been funfunfun. let's see, had a birthday celebration before i left for hk. so happy that my darlings had plans for me. a surprise which i spoilt, cos i opted for butterfact's SWITCH instead of chinaone(which they planned a lil surprise already). needed my fix of indie music but more of electro and nu rave that night, but still had lots of fun! some hk dj was spinning RnB at art bar while adrian and dave.does was spinning at main room.

had a good and quiet dinner at tuck shop before heading down to Butterfact. i like the place! perfect, besides the fact that it was empty, the food was not bad. my darlings got me a raspberry chocolate cake n sang me a birthday song..awwhh so schweet! haven't gotten a bday cake from friends since a looonnng time ago, infact i think i've never. so schweet of 'em to go through the trouble and of cos, to sing me a birthday song! i felt warmth at that very moment. i have always wanted a cake on my birthday. what's a birthday without a birthday cake right? haha. pity bud couldn't join us though, you cheapskate! hahaa! but he came down, supposedly to join us but ended up sending us to butterfact. thankyou! haha.

i got forced to get my face painted by some neon painters. but it was all for the name of fun(since we managed to force the others into it as well.tee heehee). downed b151, flaming lamboghini and samoua something? downed it despite noone wants to tell me what it is exactly. 'thanks' bud! for suggesting graveyard. had this other baileys shot before all these which i thought was yummmmmy! and then it was sober me running between art bar and main room. i think i've become a good drinker! woo hoo cheers to that! adrian spinned bloc party woo hooo! and bon jovi, which everyone could rock to. and then it was sexy dancing for james and the hottie, entertained us a lil bit. hahaaa.

well, it was a merry birthday thanks to my darlings=) we snapped truckloads of peeks that night! and supper at macs after that with us looking like we came from some halloween party. hahha.

the next day it was to hk i gooooo. i must say 4 days is hardly enough to finish everything. especially when you're with your family. 5 days or more would be great. didn't do alot of shopping this time round, budget budget! and everything's thick, winterwear. missed out a few malls, wasn't able to get my regular fix of accessories. siggghhhh. and my Central eggtarts! siggghhh. it was still pretty fun though, at least i got to catch up with the guys. thanks so much again for running around with us and tolerating all the long waits while we do our shopping! =) oh and for lugging all our heavy shopping bags. haha. you guys can really stand the long hours!

however birthday this year didn't really feel like a birthday. it was more of shopping, shopping, shopping. it felt like a typical ordinary day. but of cos, it's just my birthday, not the king's birthday. we had dinner at some regular cha chan teng in TST that served bad and over-priced food with a really bad-tempered and impatient waitress. urgh. would have told her off if we were in s'pore. supposed to do din at this posh-looking restaurant named The Sweet Dynasty(which we planned to the night before but due to time constraints and the impossibly long queue, we didn't), but that plan kinda got screwed up with meeting location and bad timing. siggh. but at least i'm glad i had a great time with my darlings to celebrate my bday before that. =)

yesterday was funfunfun again. did dinner with B and J at subway, Central. strolled around clarke quay after and then J sent us to home club. i know, it's very near, we're crazy but we thought he would join us. lbb was GOOOD, GREAT, infact. they were very entertaining, making jokes and comments about nearly everything from politics to real life issues, inserting them in lyrics and conversations with the audience too. home club was packed! but most of 'em came for lbb and sat outside drinking instead. so it was beat! after with indie! i missed indie soooo much! glad to see keat after sucha long time too! =) i missed silly dancing with him to wake up, morrissey and others. it's so right, booze+goodmusic=merry. we had sooo much fun last night just us, 3 girls and keat and company. it was crazzzzy. high but sober at the same time. hahaa. we even headed to MoS after 4ish but by the time we reached there, it was 5 already. no idea how the hell did we take so long to reach there. lol. i only remember talking bullshite to the bouncers and they were nice enough to entertain us. i don't know why, they let us in when they were closing. strange. crazy us even wanted to get in too. we went in just to wait for V to finish her cigs. hahaa.

actually, i think we were talking shite the whole night. b says i pretended to be sober and was desperately trying to protect 'em. but i am sure i was sober, still remember the events last night. so funnay. can't stop laughing when she and keat told me the things that happened last night which i totally forgot. we left MoS and settled at the dining area by the river. it was nice to sit by the river and have good talk with friends. =)

B was the lucky girl last night, lost and found her wallet. thank god!

okay now i'm talking shite too. am freaking tired. 8 hours sleep last night isn't enough. yawwwwnn. good night.

more peeks will be uploaded on facebk. too lazy to upload all of them here.

mad rush to xmas

i love beautiful gift wrappers. adds to that excitement

she just got me a CK one last birthday. haha.

and just the next day, she got me my xmas pressie.

XMAS and bday came early when i received my first gifts of the year. Actually it's my bday's followed by xmas's. =) she really thinks i'm obsessed with agnes b. tee hee hee.

i'm so broke this xmas, don't complain if you think i haven't splurged enough on your gifts okay, people! tighter than ever budget! no xmas pressies for myself this year =( more xmas shopping tomorrow, only got 2 outta sunday's trip. the crowd is so crazy, it's a love hate feeling to do xmas shopping.

now i wonder, how am i gonna do shopping in hk. maybe it's not sucha bad idea to travel during the winter season, after all. am gonna soak up all that xmas spirit and make merry =) mustn't miss that Santaland at Central this year (still remember i didn't make it last year)!and of course, to meet my lovely friends. it's been awhile. it'll be nice to do a warm xmas dinner with your loved ones at the comfort of your cosy home but i guess, that's not possible this year. i'm gonna have a feast there this year! i miss the yummy food there, the milk tea, ice lemon tea, egg tarts, dim sums, 'cha chan tengs', ...... too many to list out! how so different they are, compared to the ones offered in singapore. sigh.

now i'm hoping nothing screws up saturday. and hope it's not gonna be jaded since we've been doing that for practically every birthday. boo to a dry bank account.

xmas is coming! are you feeling the vibes yet?

the sale has started and it's shouting at me from everywhere! oh my god.

resist! even if i don't, i've got nothing to spend off. =(

i'm happy bern's one of the winners of notime! go check out her masterpiece here.

i know she's a talent and i'm so proud of her. =D

a little more confidence for her please. =)

now we hafta decide upon xmas eve dinner.

what's the plan, what's the plan?

let's hope we can sneak in a 'members only' club after dinner. why aren't they open to public?

eeek. hk clubs suck. zouk is good. hope i didn't offend anyone.

time to hit the gym tomorrow. too many sumptuous buffets means time for a workout! and will the sun please shine? i need a tan, but i ain't getting one. argggh.

caught 2 epic films the past 2 days- lust, caution and the warlords. both pretty good films. surprisingly, warlords' quite emotional. it is a mix of brotherhood, love and breach of promise, i would say. didn't wanna catch it initially, but free sneaks are good for health! tee hee hee. caught the heartbreak kid too, but it wasn't as funny as i expected.

next, 2 days in paris.

p.s. aunty char, please send me the mambo peeks soooooon!!!

and so i finally met my mates today. haven't seen 'em since like what, one month? back to the full-of-crap world for a night. i'm sorry bud, you couldn't attend zoukout this year. haha.

i can remember vividly every zoukout I'll always be away in hk. but this year i am still here, yet i didn't go for it. not the least interested, don't know why though. and town's busy like crazeee today. the horrendous jam in town cost us 1 and a half hours!! and no midnight shopping left us spending too much on food- supper shortly after dinner. not that i have the moolah to shop either . the crazee rainy weather left the crowd stranded.

thank god we managed to run back to the car before it started pouring! and the old skool $1 ice-cream under the drizzle made me happy, albeit the slow eater me had to gulp it.

tomorrow's most prolly gonna be fam day since her bf is away. yes, that only happens when her bf is away.

sometimes i really wonder what are we to her...i hate it when the whole fam has to accommodate to her needs. are we substitutes or what?

but i wouldn't let that spoil my sunday. nope it shouldn't. it has already spoilt my friday. i can't put my frustrations and embarrassment into words. sucha plan spoiler.

yes sunday's gonna be good. soak in the xmas spirit, minus the money spending part.

it's pathetic to be broke.

.........

10th november

3 locations in 1 night.

my place -> sara's bro's -> char's

doing what she does best. lol.

moi looking miserable.

was nursing a blocked nose and bad flu that day. eeerrkk.

she got so irritated with A,

she plotted to push him into the pool,

yet A looked happy...

but, she didn't succeed of course. haha.

sorry, A...

and J.

busy modelling...

the birthday girl didn't had any wine,

although she looks like she had too much here...

our staple of the night

(but we already had some at my place. tee hee hee)

our dearest birthday girl

goodbye essays! hello holidays!

and goodbye to sleepless nights too. now it's time for some schweet xmas <3ing.

all the essays last week really forced my brains to repulse any reading or writing activities. it had too much of words i suppose. poor brains of mine. 5 deadlines in one day really kills. lecturers should revise the number of deadlines in a day! i hate procrastinating but it loves me. in fact, it stuck to me the entire week before the crazeee deadlines! i could literally shout out, "help! i hate academic writing!"

i can't believe i can even talk to abby about paris while listening to 'Cherish' on class 95 at 4ish in the morning when we've barely started on our 2500 word essay which was due that very evening. hahaha. gaaawddd. but listening to class95 and mugging together at the same time gives me good vibes. it left me in a relaxing mood, no panicking, strangely.

Cherish, by kool and the gang, really brings back fond memories whenever i hear it. those times in the car going at the speed of 160 and F windling down the narrow and quaint streets of paris with my sister and i singing to it...it really brings me back to that exact moment.

so now that the assignments are over, what next? i needa job of course! to fund my spending! i need to shop! can't remember when's the last time i did! 3 months maybe? =( i seriously need moolah! stop being fussy effie, and start hunting for a new job! if only i'm rich. damn. i soo wanna enjoy this holiday and just be a homebody, haha i know, how exciting right, enjoy my holidays by staying home. haha.

i miss doing that actually! go for an occasional swim, gym, read, sleep in, watch my favourite shows online...sounds good to me.

i constantly tell myself to quit partying but it doesn't seem to work! instead of spending the moolah on booze, why not spend on a new top? urgggh. partying has gotta stop soon, or put at a minimal. =( but that shall start on thursday onwards since we have plans for tomorrow already- mambo, but of course!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my 2 loves! =)

gonna have a great lunch with 'em tomorrow!
