“Work” started at 8.30am with me driving to uni with half a mug of coffee(because I had no time to wait for it to cool down) in my tummy, just enough to keep my eyes open through pre-clinical briefing which goes on for half an hour.

This is how it works:

My class is divided into five clinical groups and I’m in the third group, on duty today at the clinics from 9am-12pm (yay lunch). At 8.15am, we are expected to be at our locker rooms changing into our clinical uniform. If I’m lucky, the locker room smells less musty than the day before. When everyone’s there, it starts to smell a little funky. Benefits of morning classes.

We then grab our case sheet (Patient’s Hospital file) and go up to the briefing room - sort of like a boardroom where the lecturer precedes over the discussion. Exciting would be those of us who have patients who are coming in for a treatment (can you believe, we actually gush at things like, “OMG I’M DOING FILLING TODAY. YAY. CLASS IV SOMEMORE!” and moan and groan when we’re still stuck with scaling as that is the most basics of basics. But in my opinion, the most boring part is doing a thorough examination of the patient, complete with medical history and the likes. Mundane, but it is part of our job and a lot is expected of us to perform beyond expectations. (I’ve gotten sounded by the lecturers more than a few times that tears have threatened to fall. I feel inadequate after almost every clinical session.)

But in a way, feelings of inadequacy is good as it would make me study. As I wrote on my facebook status last night at 3am, “Jolene Lai Pei Shan is slightly stressed out about clinics. There are no exams in the next two weeks and I’m actually studying! 0_0″. I know I should make it a habit… but just so you know, my last exam was in July. You do the math. My brain is mush! (but clinics have gotten it back on track..so thank god.)

I was actually reading through procedures….for AN ENTIRE HOUR. Somehow studying for clinics and exams are completely different. There is this fear that pushes you. Screwing up your assessment paper is no biggie as you can save your ass in the finals. We’re talking about a freaking human being here! Scary!

Back to the briefing session. Upon completion of the session, we would then go into the polyclinics (where there are 53 bays complete with the whole dental chair and what comes with it, computer (which is not functional yet) and some nice panels to hide from fellow classmates who might be able to pinpoint your mistakes.

And as Brenda puts it, THE WAR BEGINS.

You’re on your own. Fending, flailing. Sweating, shaking.

The door opens and in comes your patient/a new patient.

You greet them like an old friend and make them feel at ease. Basically it’s all very PR related.

If it’s a new patient, you do the entire medical history, extra and intra oral findings complete with diagnosis and treatment planning. Our lecturers are extremely particular about format. Those of us who are acting as Dental Surgery Assistants (DSA) can get sounded too should any mistake be made when writing down the findings. Most of us write as we are told by our classmates who are operators for that session.

We can’t correct our classmates in front of the patients as it would make them look inadequate and cause the patient to worry. Then before you know it, it’s time to present the case to the lecturer and when the lecturer looks at it and looks up and says to the nearest person, “Who did this?”

To which that unfortunate nearest person, is of course me, and I would reply, “Huh? I’m the DSA!”

And the answer I would get in return is, “DSA is not student ah?”
Die.

My lecturers are very nice people outside of the clinics. I understand their newly adopted stern-ness and I guess they have to do this for our own good. I sound so saintly.

So yeah, after battling the war between you and your incredibly shallow memory of Everything You Have Ever Learned In Dental School In The Past 3 Years and 2 months, at 12pm, we are told to send our tired patients away and try our best to cajole them to come back for a consequent visit.

The day doesn’t end there for me! Oh no!

At 1.30pm, we are back in the clinics, this time as DSA’s, preparing the bays for the group who are on duty as operators for the afternoon session. It’s a more relaxing job of course, with the opportunity to learn about the materials. Mostly things I’ve never even seen before, but am too afraid to ask about in case I get the standard, “Go back and read about it and tell me tomorrow.”

I mean okay lah, it is the same thing. Composite is composite, Amalgam is Amalgam. Bonding agent is bonding agent. But sometimes they come from different manufacturers and I don’t have the liberty of reading the instruction sheets all the time!
But this also means that it’s back to good ol’ McCabe. (Our bible for the Dental Materials subject.)

Since all of us would have to wear face masks, I did something quite stupid today. One of my classmates walked by and asked me who my operator is. I mouthed back my operator’s name to her. While wearing the facemask. Stupidness.

But being DSA can be rewarding in itself, you benefit from your operator’s mistakes. They get scolded and learn from it. You learn as well minus the scolding part.

I hope i didn’t paint my lecturers to be ferocious people.. it’s just a stern tone. Girls with fragile hearts like mine are too soft for such Real World Treatment. But I’m toughening up. National Service taught me well wtf. (I scribbled the word “PATIENCE” behind my locker at NS. It was from my resentment towards the many many characters from contrasting backgrounds from my own.)

So when 5pm rolls by, it’s time to clear up and send the patient on his way. Same story, come back for another visit.

5pm is also when the entire AIMST Dental Students’ Association committee would meet for their weekly meeting, leading up to the annual dental dinner on the 14th of December. So that goes on till 7pm.

7pm, dark skies either due to sunset or rain, I’m not sure but I drive about 15 minutes to one of the only coffeeshops that we frequent.

8pm and I’m at home, feeling like I could collapse into bed but NOoo..I still have two articles I promised to write like a month ago (luckily i chose dentistry. I would not have made it in the journalism world), a blog entry to do (those with tons of pictures. Burning out, burning out..uh oh halp) and of course, the sticker orders. I collapsed into bed without showering and slept till 10pm.

Woke up and sorted out the sticker orders, bathed, finished up some assignments (also due to procrastination) and lastly, an episode of Gossip Girl. Wanted to continue with another episode but decided to do something mildly eat shit sleep. And the time is now 4.03am.

ME IS TIRED AND MESSED UP. ARGH.

And I’m driving home on Friday morning. Woot.

Now I shall curl in bed and continue reading Belle Du Jour’s first book. Niiiight. Mini book review: It doesn’t make you horny.

P/s: As this is another dentistry related post, I will treat myself to one Mini Yam Potong for every “can get discount ah” comment I get from friends. I love you all but new jokes are needed.

I like to start off texts with “hey babes, lunch later?” or “hey babes, I’m here di. Where you?”

Babes is just so easy on the tongue. It makes the female on the other end feel closer to you and favours can be done easily as well - hehe.

A few years back, I would’ve cringed at how pretentious all these name calling are. It’s not like I just got back from overseas and taken on their terms of endearment, like how some of my besties have come home with whole new accents. (nudge, nudge, Chien and She Dee). Not to say that they are pretentious, but they caught on! I’m not  the one who went overseas and got exposed!

In highschool, we were all very Malaysian and stuff, calling each other with self given nicknames like Melmel or estee… Mine was Joey for the longest time. My Left Boob moniker was quite popular too but that’s material for another entry, another day.

Moving on to college, one of us started calling each other, “hey girl!” and it caught on like wild fire. To the point that one of us said something like, “eeyer, I call girl she also call girl”. “Girl” was still mildly malaysian, not so much laced with Westernish pretense.

As the years passed and my girls moved to places like Hawaii, Warwick, Brisbane, Melbourne etc etc.. suddenly I was “honey” or “hun”. Then the latest must’ve been “luv”. Takes some getting used to, but it’s nice to know that I’m loved. :p

What I don’t get is the “dear” that online sellers and buyers like brandishing about.

But if you see closely, you can tell which are the ones who can’t quite get the hang of it. Now THAT is pretentious.

I don’t like dearing with people whom I’ve never seen in my life and also calling them by names if they are your customer is a form of respect and shows that you have a sense of professionalism.

I was cracking my head, trying to recall what guys call each other. The only word that came to me was “Oi lanciao” or “Oi fucker”. Must be best friends.

I guess inserting the “oi” means you’re friends with him and substituting the “oi” with a “that” means you wanna whack the shit out of him!

Guys are very complicated.

“Hey Dude” and “Hey man” sounds lame. I’m running through my mental database, and I don’t recall any of my guyfriends calling each other that.

Just a thought running through my head while folding the laundry at 2am.

She would usually run away from me and hide in a corner whenever I return home from uni. It depends on her mood really but I think it was because of all the times I’ve thrown her up in the air for fun, or picked her off the floor by her armpits. I don’t really have a good track record with her dad as well. Back when Bubbles was still alive and younger, he had these protruding balls whenever he splayed out on the ground. I’d press it a little bit with my toes to disturb him. Too tempting! Nothing bad happened, since Angel and her sisters did materialize, right?

Anyway, back to Angel.

For years she has liked humping my hand. But in the past few weeks, she has managed to make herself very comfortable on my right thigh and cling on to my arm and go at it like a mad woman. She would go so fast, so fast, so fast to a point that I start to worry if she might get a heart attack.

This is her after her ‘work out’:

I don’t get it! We have had her spayed and she’s..yeah, a female! But she’s doing naughty boy things! One of my theories is that tying her tubes (fallopian?)  probably prevented her oestrogen and progesterone from flooding her body like a normal female. As a result, the testosterone in her body is not acted against and pretty much controls her urges. I don’t know, what do I know, I’m just a 4th year dental student who forgot her 1st year physiology stuff.

Nowadays when I’m minding my own business typing away at the computer, she would come up to me and bark, wanting her fix. I really should stop layaning her. Bad girl! Down!

This is Angel who was shocked to know that I was taking her photo.

Anyhow, for the love of all things pretty, I’ve decided to do an every-now-and-then sharing session with the lot of you. Also, to provide the Malaysian blogshop community with better exposure, especially those obscure blogshops with fantastic prices. But I bet some of the popular blogshops have higher traffic than me, but oh well, it’ll open doors for a few blogshops too! *self consolation*

If you’re unknown and you have the same things as the popular blogshops, then you slash the prices. Must cari makan that way lah….If you’re popular and known for your awesome taste in fashion, it only makes sense that your price is slightly higher.

See more at Fashion Truth! This is one scary website, but I’m hooked!! There are some pretty crazy shopaholics out there who can find the time to trawl through the entire community and TELL us which shop is selling the exact same item for less. It’s amazing. If you like subtle catfights and stretching your dollar, then hop on over!

To start of my series of Brilliant Finds From Across The Blogshops is Ablinc!

For Halloween, I almost wanted to go as Dead Marilyn Monroe..and HERE’S MARILYN’S DRESS! Ablinc has it in Black and Blue as well. Only at Rm75 too!

The skirt is really flowy, as can be seen in a few other photographs on Ablinc’s blog.

Naturally, I would be drawn to something like this. I love smock dresses! Not too dressy, yet pretty enough to go somewhere nice. RM38 only!!! *vomits blood* Too bad my bank a/c only has RM2 left. I haven’t been updating The Sticker Monster Blog. Wait ah, wait.

Next we have Ancient Orchids!

There’s a crazy amount of kimono-inspired tops at that blogshop! I just kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling..it wouldn’t stop! Okay, maybe the entire community is slightly sick of kimono tops but this one is so special because of its prints! A beautiful play of colours against a black background. Each top is priced at RM45! The price could afford to be slightly more attractive. But I would pay for that amount if I really like it. (and I really do! Bloody bank a/c!)

I usually wouldn’t be drawn to such prints, but I’ve a feeling it really slims the entire silouhette!

Another kimono top with awesome prints. *sigh*

And for those entering the work force, isn’t this pretty? Only RM38!!! Classy and affordable. I need moolah.

I saw these gorgeous gorgeous printed tights at Ministry Of Clothes for RM20!!

I’ve bought like a whole truck of coloured tights from around the blogshops last month. My next goal is to buy as many printed tights as I can!

Fats, fats, go away, come again another day life. If I was any slimmer, I’d be able to wear all these cuteeeeeeeeeee cardis. I’ve seen a few around and they are all so pretty. Ministry of Clothes is selling this at RM35. Money well spent on keeping warm and toasty in the freezing lecture room.

At Dainty Dresser, I saw this beautiful teal dress. I know I can’t fit into it, but I’ll share the love with anyone who has similiar taste. RM55, anyone?

I don’t only look at clothes online, but nonstereotypically shaped girls like me adore looking at bags and accessories. And for now, I give you Dandelion Boutique!

Exquisite pendants, especially if you’re into the classical stuff.

Very unique cinchers! I’ve seen my fairshare of cinchers and most of them don’t come in funky colours like this! *pats self for finding something nice* The price is quite alright for something this special!

=) Writing about pretty things from the blogshops is almost as good as shopping at the blogshops! Almost!

Prior to this, we would usually practice prophylactic procedures on each other (nothing invasive) and therefore this was all new to us. The pressure was there as your classmates would be able to pinpoint what you’ve done wrong and then you’d feel like a right idiot for not knowing your stuff. (I feel like a right idiot any other day when my lecturer throws questions at me. The look of disapproval and disappointment on his face kills me.)

But strangely, with a normal patient, the self confidence kicks in and conversation flows (part of the whole ‘professional friendliness’ that we have to adopt.) and you’re happy when you see the patient smiling back at you.

After four and a half years in dental school, I’m not the only one who is starting to feel the enthusiasm seeping out of our souls. Most of us, being the pioneer batch, have completed almost all our theory classes and are merely waiting for the clinics to go on at full speed. And here we are! Just when I started to think if dentistry was what I wanted to do in life. As a first year dental student, I used to be so gung-ho about ANYTHING dentistry related. Like a dental fangirl! OMG TEETH.

I’ve never lied about the reason why I took up dentistry. I wanted something science related (as I’m just crap at subjective subjects), I wanted money, I wanted fixed working hours and I’d rather be communicating with people all day long than staring into a microscope. (An alternative job would’ve been somewhere in the advertising/PR line. But like I said, crap at subjective subjects.) It’s good to know that I’m still on the right path four years down the road. Still doing something I like, which can make my parents proud of me, which can make money, which can be scientific and artistic at the same time. Not an easy combo.

With the University Dental Hospital now up and running, my classmates and I have been given the task of contacting our own patients via the phone at the reception. As professional as it sounds and albeit a little inconvenient, we can’t divulge our numbers to the patients as they might call us day and night to bother us with their problems. So we have to take care of ourselves in that way as well.

It certainly was a nice feeling, ‘kiaping’ the phone with your shoulder and making amendments to the patients’ appointments and going all, “Hello Mr. X. I’m calling from AIMST University Dental Hospital regarding your dental appointment…” while sitting at the reception area. I felt REAL.

I don’t know how to explain this ‘real’ feeling, but as beneficial as all the practical classes we had before this were, finally getting our hands on some real cases made us feel like real dentists.

My dad and mum were quite excited for me too, asking me to read up before I went into the clinics today and also to remain calm at all times.

It might not sound like much to anyone else, but today is a milestone for me. He was my first patient ever and he was a really good patient, cooperating with me and smiling all the way!

We had our first crying kids today too! What better way to officiate a dental hospital, right?

Probably the only event that I’ve been to in a long time actually. What with me being in Kedah most of the time and my can’t-be-arsed-ness to go for any events which I can’t relate to even when I’m back in Subang.

But Nuffnang is like a baby whose birth I witnessed and as one of the bloggers who stuck with them from the very beginning, I HAD TO GO.

I was supposed to go for the previous two parties but due to unforeseen circumstances, I couldn’t go.

Family matters>Chipster Pajamas Party, Final exams> Wild Live Party. Right?

So I was really pumped up for the Halloween one. As we all know, costume parties are perfect reasons for us to flaunt the slut in each and everyone of us.

My first idea was to go as the corpse of Marilyn Monroe, but a quick search on Google Blog Search showed some nuffnangers having the same idea. Funnily enough, no one blogged about wanting to go as Heath Ledger’s Joker.

The Joker is a really predictable Halloween Costume Choice this year, what with the big hoo hah about the Dark Knight.

But I needed to slutterize it. There was a scene where he was pretending to be a nurse (was it with Harvey Dent? I can’t remember).

Years ago, I saw a seller on ebay selling Sexy Nurse Outfits, only for less than RM50. The guy was based in Kedah too! What are the chances!

So that was my costume, a Slutty Joker Nurse.

And because of my lousy luck when it comes to online shopping, most of the things i buy online don’t fit me perfectly. I casted my net really wide this time and bought three pieces. Yeap. One had to fit right?

As you would have it, I couldn’t fit into two of the sluttier ones. Please lor, it’s not slutty if it has sleeves!

This was the perfect outfit. PVC and all cleavage, cleavage, cleavage. Sigh.

This was also very cleavagey but if it wasn’t for the cross, there’s no other reason why it is a nurse uniform.

Next, I chose a tutorial on how to do the Joker Make up from the hundreds of Joker make up tutorials on youtube. The girl used some very basic make up tools.

For the base, I used lipbalm and white face powder. You know those cheap ass compact powders you find at Chameleon or Sinma. I bet it was their worst selling product anyway. The powder was about RM7!
Then I bought a dark brown (for the shadows and wrinkles) and black(for the eyes) eyeshadow for Rm5 each from Elianto. Most intense eyeshadow colours for the greatest value! For the Panda Bear eyes, the girl mentioned that I would need a more intense black, something like a mascara’s consistency. RM8 for that!  Two shades of red lipstick and black eyeliner to create the big smile. I was set!

I initially had a tough time looking for White cream make up, as most costume shops would stock it. But due to lack of time, I couldn’t get my hands on any. I was so desperate that I even tried mixing flour and water to see what happens. I looked furry from far.

So I started off by applying lip balm on my entire face. (my poor Neutrogena Lip Balm). Vaseline would have provided better coverage. But the lack of a tub of Vaseline at home was probably good news, in a way.

If i didn’t use the lip balm, the white powder would have slid off my face half way through the party. It also helped create a creamier consistency.

Then came the fun part! The eyes!! First, I applied black eyeshadow around the eyes. If I stopped there, I would only get a smoky eye effect. To go all out dirty, in comes the mascara. I squeezed as much mascara as I possibly could off the brush and applied it closer to the lash line. Spread it around and there you have, intense blackness.

I then took an eyeshadow brush and pulled the black away from the eyes for faux wrinkles. Used my nail to scratch the forehead and randomly scratched my face to get some of the wrinkles on. Brown eyeshadow next to the alar of my nose. (at the sides of both nostrils). Brown eyeshadow to create a furrow around my eyebrows.

Then I finished the look with plenty of glitter all over the make up. A touch of Jolene.

Finish!

Then camwhore for awhile. Sorry ah. Joker Ki Hiao.

You can see the tutorial at the back.

If I let my hairdown, I would’ve looked like one of those scary rockers who paint their face for performances. Whatever, I don’t know my heavy metal.

Joker’s surprise birthday party.

I had to check to see if I would have any wardrobe malfunction that nigh

t with the cameras flashing here and there. Thank god Satin reflects! (Some Nude Bra material can be quite thin, and thus embarrassing.)

As per our newly founded tradition, Soon Seng and I pakated to go for this party together. For years, I’ve never liked bringing friends from real life to blog meets/parties because they would die of boredom from all the pointless camwhoring. Soon Seng has successfully submerged himself into the blogosphere and thus was the perfect friend to go with!

Not to say that I don’t think of blogging friends as real friends, but I’m more comfortable attending these events with someone I see more often in real life. And I don’t see any of my blogging friends on any other occasion except blog meets. (Yee Hou, you’re my real life friend too. *hugs*)

The party was like an Interact/Leo Club event to me, anyone and everyone was a friend to you. I just went around saying hello and making new acquaintances. I don’t know a whole lot of these people, fresh new faces in the blogosphere who have formed solid cliques and it’s almost like I was new to the scene, once more.Time to blame Kedah again. But it’s not the same, the blogosphere now and the blogosphere then.

Familiar faces have left the country to further their studies, some abandoned the blogging scene after passing that phase…

..but I’m always keen to meet new people. It’s my thing.

I used to be really shy and awkward at blog meets despite co-organizing a few blog meets. I’m actually quite loud and disgusting one. I was totally myself that night. Must’ve been the Joker make up, eh? Conversations flowed and a few of them spoke to me like old friends despite meeting me for the first time.

Nicholas came up to me and asked, “Guess who I am!”

I didn’t get it until he started sucking on his pinky. -_-;

Nicholas, your Mini Me doesn’t really look like you leh.

This was a good idea, it gave off red carpet vibes. As the bloggers arrived, they had their photos taken with this board-thing.

I can’t get over how absolutely adorable these Nuffies* from Singapore were. They came as the Powerpuff girls! The one in Blue is Huiwen, who is Bubbles right? (That’s all I know about Powerpuff girls). The one in Green is Cherie and the one in red is Raine. I love love love Raine’s redbow. In this get up, they look at least 5 years younger than their real age. I’m guessing their about 20-21 years old. right?

*Nuffies is a term that the good people at Nuffnang call themselves.

And here’s Audrey before Absolut. Pitch had their way with her. You’ll see her costume later on.

I realised there were about 6 people from my high school there! And all in different years too!

There was Chee Wei who went as Scream ( I think ) who is from the 1984 year.
Audrey who is from the 1985 batch.
Chung Lern and myself from the 1986 batch.
Wai Ping (or Pinky, as many of you know her!) from the 1988 batch.
and Sherrymint from the 1989 batch. She told me she was my brother’s classmate for two years and that she was my neighbour for the past 19 years. She lives like 6 houses away. And I don’t remember her!! I’m so sorry Pei Min! I promise to say hello when I see you next time! I was one of those little girls who didn’t come out at 5pm to play with the neighbourhood girls. ;\

I should have gathered everyone and made them take a high school reunion photo.

KY is damn funny! He went as rain and if anybody didn’t know who he was trying to be, he would squirt them.(sounds wrong). I suppose everything cost him less than RM5.

The last time I saw Serge (so long until I even forgot his real name, but I remember your nickname, Serge!) was like back in 2006. He couldn’t recognize me through my make up… this is him trying to guess who I was.

Audrey and Tim (who went as Kurt Cobain. I thought he was some drunk celebrity, with the smeared lip stick and all) having a serious conversation.

The big screen had cheesy halloween messages throughout the night.

Soon Seng and someone whose name I forgot. So sorry! ( I love your dread locks though! Stevie Wonder ah?

Death aka Julian Hopkins walks on by. Death needs a drink.

Omg, I feel bad. I know we said hello girls, but I really cannot remember your names. Please let me know in the comment box if you see yourselves, all right? I only remmeber Berry!

When Yee Hou saw me he was like, “Wtf?!’

I saw a really pretty girl strutting around all glammed up. When I peered closer, I was like, “OH!! YAY! Friend!”

According to Hsu Jen, she’s something like a reincarnation of Keira Knightley.

Kel Li, Hsu Jen, and Myself. Kel Li came as the Angel of Death.

That’s Simon and Soon Seng with his fangs! Soon Seng went as Chow Yun Fatt the vampire. Reason being that he is chinese and he can slick his hair back. I bet no one guessed it huh? Other more common guesses were more holy-like.

In photos, I now realize that Simon’s make up is actually more than stitches running down his face. You did something to one half of your face, didn’t you Simon? The left side looks very plasticky!

Here’s one of the church people. Johnny Ong who wore garlic to ward off all the ghouls that night (so did your neighbours enjoy a good Bak Kut Teh session ah Johnny?:D ), Dominic who came as the Hunchback (I don’t think he meant is as the Notre Dam one, but oh well) and our Soon Seng as a minister/vicar/priest.

Here’s wai Ping again before she transformed into the Dead Barbie.

Shaolintiger who came as Bruce Lee, back from the dead!

While hanging around the registration area, I turned around just in time to see another fella turning around and going, “EH!!” when we saw each other. So we camwhored. Meet Cojack!

Here’s Cojack, ParUI Hilton(who eventually won best dressed for the FEMALE category that night), Sorry!!!!, Harry.

This is Liang, he’s been the emcee for all the Nuffnang parties. And each time also he damn semangat one. I think the most adorable one was when he went for the Wild Live Party dressed as something Tarzany.

Here’s Robb who was too busy for a picture! He went as Nick Carter’s mummy from their Everybody video.

Why is Julian shy?

Myself, Soon Seng, Simon (yeah, I think you definitely did something to your face. egg white?) and Samantha Poh!

Dr. Evil has NO heart!!

Took me awhile to recognize her! HELLO CHEESERLYN MONROE!

Parui why is your hand clenched like that, from that distance, from your mouth, which is strangely pursed with a slight opening? Mm? *innocent question*

David Cheong!! Actually, when I saw him, the name Davy Jones pop into my head though he was lacking some tentacles. He eventually won best dress for the Male Category!

Drunk Kurt Cobain and me!

That’s Kenny and Samantha! Kenny went as Michael Jackson from the Thriller music video.

It’s been three years since I last saw Kenny. It was a time when I was still in college and blogging had only started getting some recognition locally and see how far he’s gone in three short years!

So I was like, “Kenny! You have to remember me.”

He’s like, “Sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry, I can’t remember people. Sorry,” he looked so apologetic.

Then when I pointed to my name tag and it was funny to see recognition dawn upon his blackened face.

Michael why you close your eyes!

Cheesie and Ee Fei, who went as Bjork!(also!)

DKC giving his speech.

Jolyn Goh and her friend, Ame who came as Zombies in Baju Kurung!
Slutty Joker Nurse had to be in the photo as well!

There was this Milk Carton there that night. I can’t seem to find his link anywhere!! WHO ARE YOU OH MYTERIOUS SUSU?

Firdaus and me! Are you a wizard, Firdaus?

Kah Ee, I love your pink wig! Whenever I go to a wig shop, I’ll be sure to don some super colourful wig, just for fun!

Ahh, we’ve reached the photo where Bernard is in. From left is Tysern, Shon, Bernard and myself.

I was standing by the bar when I spotted a Joker and a Bjork. We exchanged hellos and then I somehow got the drift that the Joker was a Dentist Joker. So I leaned over and said, “Ooo! Coincidentally, I’m studying dentistry.”

And the Dentist Joker was like, “What! I’m studying dentistry too!”

And we both got so excited. Turns out that he’s also a fourth year dental student. Only one more year to graduation before seeing each other at dental conferences year after year and telling our colleagues that ‘Oh So funny double Joker’ story over and over again.

What are the chances right?? Same make-up(okay, he obviously used buncho paint! Right Bernard?) and same future career!! But people study at UKM..so keng.

This is Tysern who had some fun with my stethoscope. I thought he looked very charming in that tux.

There’s J-Teoh the Bjork!

Apparently Bjork went to a music awards once with a dead swan around her neck.

Audrey and myself! She went as Ayumi Hamasaki! Go see her latest post. I thought she photoshopped herself into the cd sleeves. Aud, I seriously thought it was you.

Jo-joker had the chance to go on stage.

Nicholas was recruiting a few costumes, as requested by the emcee LIang. I can’t remember for what. I love Carlson(far left)’s outfit though! So awesome! Like a British Chinese Vampire during the Baroque period.

He got sweets for his efforts. See the happiness? Later fly go in.

Dentist Joker and Nurse Joker (Healthcare Jokers) camwhored with Carmen who went as Velma from Scoobydoo and Vvens who went as Michael Jackson’s daughter. Those two girls are just so adorable!!! I’ll put them all on my bed, alongside the Singapore nuffies and my Hannari tofus. They can all be my soft toys. I know I’m sounding a little freaky.

Lie Peh (or Iris, as you all might know her. SORRY AH, I got this thing about calling people with their chinese names if I start off with a chinese name. Which is why my poor boyfriend has not successfully used his English name yet. Poor thing. No, you go ask him what is his english name.) and Meeee!

Lie Yuen spent three days doing this Yukata for Lie Peh. AND I HAD TO TAKE A CAMWHORE PICTURE AND NOT A FULL LENGTH ONE. I so anak derhaka to my housemate right. She burns the midnight oil to SEW (hahahahah..) something for her sister and there I go, forgetting to take a full body picture. But hop over to her blog, should be able to see her white Yukata in all its glory.

Oh, -_- and when I saw Lie Peh, our hands slowly met as we were talking animatedly…and I started shaking it like how people shake hands for the first time when they meet. She was like, “Why are you shaking my hand?” and I’m like, “I don’t know.”

Debfong, Cleopatra(sorry I can’t remember your name!), An Angel (your’s either! ) and myself.

Debra was wearing a Dynamitez cheerleading costume. I quite liked the whole Klang Valley touch to her costume. Dynamitez from SMKDJ is probably the most well known cheerleading team in Malaysia.

Myself and Victoria!! After knowing each other online since our college days, we finally meet. In such scary make up somemore.

This naughty girl used her mum’s wedding gown as part of her Halloween outfit. Hahaha. Your scary pout is damn cute, Victoria!

And your name, as I told you, is damn secocok with your outfit.

I don’t believe this. I see such a good friend at a party where I am surrounded by mostly strangers and I forget to take a photo with him. =( That’s Chung Lern in the orange vest. He went as one of the construction worker from something YMCA. What do i know.

Serge and the adorable Orang Utan. When I first saw the Orang Utan, I actually smiled and maintained eye contact with it………. and then walked away feeling quite stupid when I realized it was just a toy and no one was inside it.

Celine Yap who came as the dirty little mummy. I think the freakiest part is her eyes and her mouth. It’s like she didn’t wipe her mouth after eating a human.

Cool gloves.

Curry Egg and myself! I can’t remember what she supposedly came as!

Yatz who came as Sadako! That is his own hair! He also made the outfit himself. A guy sewing, how awesome right?

Alex was so adorable staring out of his father’s slightly stained reading glasses. I bet his dad and Victoria’s mum are wondering what their kids are trying to say…..

Alex went as a mad scientist. Geeks are in, Alex! Consider investing in a pair. Will be a hit with the ladies. My classmate saw your photo and she was like, “OMG SO CUTE!!!”

Jamie Liew, whom I met for the first time that night. Can you believe that she’s only 16? =)

There were Mummy wrapping games.

Can breathe ah?

Sue who came as Lindsay Lohan. You can’t see her slit wrists in this picture!

Kit Mey!! At long last we meet! I’ve seen her on blogs for a few years, and these are real life friends’ blogs. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before we met! She came as Blair Waldorf!

Kit Mey is Abby’s really really close friend in Singapore, as they are both working at OCBC Singapore together. Yeap, crazy girl came back for the weekend! I had fun talking to you girl! I don’t know how you could carry out *that*(you know i know) conversation with me in full make up.

Then it was time for a game of Balloon popping. Not my scene. I have a terrible phobia of Balloons bursting. I blew my balloon and threw it into the crowd.

Almost like a kid’s birthday party, with all that running around!

Vicar and the demonic nurse.

Kelz doing her thang which eventually won her the Nokia handphone for Best Silent Dancer!

We got in on the fun too! No one noticed my blinged ipod until I pressed it up against their faces.

There he is! Chee Wei!! He was one of the hotter seniors back in school. It was really surprising to bump into him at a Halloween party, of all places! And that’s the very beautiful Pam Song. I know in this entire post, I’ve been going like, “I love your… I like your…*something Halloowen related.*”

But I really really like your skin!

The crowd from where I was, while I was being nominated for best dressed. I’m not sure if I deserved it as my outfit was quite basic. The face abit complex lah, but there were many others out there that night who was scarier. BUT THANKS FOR THE PHONE ANYWAY!

Sure feels nice to stand up on stage.

Kurt Cobain! Liang damn funny, he touched his throat to see if there was a hole anywhere where smoke could come out. LOL.

This is a Desperate Housewive. I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name and neither did I see your link anywhere. ;\

Parui Hilton, the star of the night. In this photo, he was telling me about the cost of his entire outfit. It came up to about RM200. I particularly remember him pointing out a heart bling ring to me and said, “This is RM25!”

He was even shopping at Sg. Wang for his heels earlier on in the day.

Davy Jones won!

Desperate Housewive has human heads for dinner.

Can you see her dinner?

The dinner and I sharing a light moment.

Davy Jones carving the head. (like as in turkey gedit bwahaha)

Karena and Jamie! I love (there I go again) Karena’s white eyeliner!

Damn erotic right you Lie Peh. Ham sap por! (look who’s talking right..hahahahah)

Gotta love Velma’s glasses!

I finally got to meet Chris Tock (sorry forgot to take a proper picture ) and a fellow Subang girl called Zoe. I wonder how she got her face to look so porcelain. Born like that or awesome make up skills? And the dripping gash is such a beautiful touch.

The best dressed winners with their new phones.

Copykate and myself! She went as a French Maid, right?

Tim couldn’t tahan the wig any longer. Audrey looks damn beautiful .. eh, if you put your palm out and block Tim and myself out(especially me), it looks like Soon Seng and Audrey’s wedding photo. Then if you unblock Tim, he looks like a guest at their wedding.

What an innovative way to announce good news to the world eh?? *wink wink*

I damn not shy, I asked them straight when I observed their mannerisms around each other for awhile.

This is Mike Yip, the great photographer!!

Chee Wei and myself.

A new friend, Jason, and myself.

Nicholas brought Parui home that night.

Parui didn’t shave! Never put foundation also!

This is Jessie!!

Thomas who is DAMN tall! He went as Gene Simmons. (Did I get the name right?)

Sherrymint and myself. My neighbour!!

We adjourned to Pavillion for some coffee. This is the Joker Nurse reminding you where you parked your car.

It was fun walking into Pavillion in my costume, getting stares from the people around us. Kelz, Jen and the rest at least had each other. Bloody hell, I was walking alone with Soon Seng (whose Chow Yun Fat Vampire-ness disapearred after awhile)…and I still muka tebal (HAHA) go and ask the security guards for directions to Starbucks.

This is Hikaru, the mummy. He bought a bale of cloth and just wrapped himself up, like well, a mummy.

Yatz wrinkly skin which he made with starch!

After yamchaing at Starbucks Pavillion, the two of us walked from one end of the eatery boulevard-ish place to the other, getting stares from the yamcha crowd.

I waved and smiled at random strangers while Yatz emoed next to me with his long hair. I seriously felt like some Ah Kua layaning random men at one point of my waving and smile-flashing.

A few people even came up to take pictures with us.

A middle eastern couple saw us crossing the road and motioned to take a photo. We declined, thinking that they wanted to help us take a photo. However, the guy himself wanted to take a photo of us ghouls!

So we were on their video camera for abit and I said “Hello! Welcome to Malaysia. Everyone in Malaysia looks like that!”

Back home, Mervyn roused from his slumber and couldn’t wait to pry open the Nokia Box. He has this thing about unboxing gadgets. Watches Youtube videos of gadgets being unboxed. My brother has strange interests.

The Nokia 5220 Xpressmusic truly lives up to its name. I wanted to send an sms, I accidentally turned the music on. I want to take a picture, I accidentally turned the music on. I want to go to the menu, I accidentally turned the music on. I put the phone down on the table, the music  turns on by itself.

Naw, just kidding. But the buttons must be too small for my fingers or else I would be able to go to what I want and not turn the music on all the time.

But this phone will be awesome for my mum as she is a music teacher. Music teachers get music phones!

Slim phones are so sexy.

The back part.

My brother said this phone was very “Happening” and so he drafted an sms to fit the look.

5 Universal Music CD’s came along with my prize. I’m thinking of giving my Rock music loving classmates one of those rock cds. Not my kind of thing!

I must be getting old as I didn’t go like all out trigger happy. So I hope you don’t mind, but I have stolen photos from some of your blogs as they are AWESOME!

Here is KlubbKidd who went as the deceased Kurt Cobain.

The beautiful nuffies. Thanks Mike Yip!

The Orang Utan gets lucky.

Chung Lern and his pal! Thanks Jeffro!

Skyler and Simon! I didn’t get a picture with you Skyler!! Skyler went as Amy Winehouse!

An awesome photo of Wai Ping’s dead barbie! I love it! Thanks Yatz!

Hikaru trying to murder Sherrymint. I like this photo!

Flirting with Yee Hou. Thanks Serge!

Grinning happily after receiving my phone. Thank you Shaolintiger!

The runner ups were supposed to dance on stage. Hope I didn’t make a fool out of myself.

Parui very pretty from this angle.

Debra and Sheng Mae, who came as Paris Hilton in jail. Thanks Debra!

Amy WInehouse kena accident! If I’m not mistaken, there were awesome tattoos on your back! Min Li, right?
Thanks Victoria.:P Sorry for stealing!

This guy is QUITE awesome. Should have been a runner-up. I’m sure the judges had such a tough time. He even made the hour glass himself.

Lie Peh being happy for me for winning the Nokia 5220! Thanks Vvens for the pics!

“Go lower abit,” said Joker.

HAHAHHAHHAA I love this picture. Sorry for ruining it, guys.

I went up to the Milk boy and asked him (through his opening), “May I suck on you?!” and proceeded to suck on him (ooh) as he bent down. Cameras flashed from all directions. Thanks for the photo, Soon Chuan!

The top bloggers were called to start off a few games.
From left: Kenny, Nicholas (Agent to Top Bloggers), Cheesie, Kimcun.

Aaron =( Thank you for the beautiful photos. Next time come scream at me so I know who you are as I’ve never seen you in person before.

Joker on a perpetual diet.

One of my favourite photos from his collection!

YMCA and Jail Bird paris!

That’s Aaron and Hsu Jen. Why are the colours SO DAMN NICE?!

Jeffro looking like a Satanic DJ.

Thought I should end the post with photos of my FIRST ever Halloween party from way back in 2004. It was one crazy night where Sush, Chien, Barry and I went around trick or treating. Everyone was still in Subang at that time and therefore we got layaned quite a bit.

I demolished my baju kurung too.

All of us looked so young. ;| I was only 17 then. Sigh.

Abit too much red eh! But I was really happy with it at that time.

Good times.

Our first casualty: Siow E-Guy!

Barry killed me.

I hope no one’s computer died after reading this post.

Anonymous bloggers usually have different and controversial topics in their daily postings such as a couple who blogged together describing their intimate moments, a man who wooed several woman and was known as the Don Juan of the blogosphere and even a lone commentator who would dissect, criticize and spill the secrets of the big wigs in the blogging scene. Controversies equal to traffic and these anonymous bloggers knew their niche extremely well. There were many bored office workers and procrastinating students who loved a good drama among real people. Almost like a reality show!

Controversial stuff aside, romantic blogs are indeed very sweet. I am one of those girls who love reading other people’s musings about their own new found love. Marriage proposals are my favourite!

Though these two blogs are rather new, this new couple has decided to go old school (yes, 2005 is now regarded as old school. Time flies on the internet.). They’ve decided to take an anonymous approach to blogging by documenting their love, each and every step of the way. J

As you know, every anonymous blogger would adopt a pseudonym and it basically becomes their trademark. Berry and Lemon have curiously taken on fruits as their theme. Sort of like how Cheesie always inserts anything cheesy whenever she can.

“The thing is, sometimes I am a little selfish, in some ways, because when good things is about to happen, I will be secretly happy about it, hesitate a bit, sometimes slapping myself lightly to make sure i am not hallucinating, let out a big silly grin on my face when nobody is seei

ng and then roll around in my duvet hysterically in glee, then go to bed. Without telling anyone about it. Because, just in case, like a birthday wish which you keep tightly to only yourself and once you tell anyone about it the magic will just disappear… Ok what the heck, i will do it.”

Lemon has only just gotten out of another relationship, so this whole new thing with Berry is making her world go round and round as it is happening so fast.

I remember the feeling of falling in love all too well. J I was also hesitant at first but you keep telling yourself, take everything slowly. Things will fall into place, you’ll start to feel comfortable with the idea of being in a relationship. Nobody should put any pressure on themselves when it comes to these things. I made the mistake of comparing my relationship to my friends’ relationships. At the beginning of my relationship, most of my friends were already months into their own. Touching, light pecks on the cheek freaked me out a little bit. I remember thinking, “How do they get there? It looks so difficult. Oh my god, this is so difficult. How do they make it so natural?”

While the both of us milled around moodily and awkwardly in the first few days of our relationship, who knew that years later, touching, light pecks on the cheek, forehead and everywhere else(and more haha) would be such a breeze. The most wonderful feeling in the world. J

So Lemon, take it easy. Take this as your own story, allow it to write out by itself into its own special happy ever after. No one relationship is similar to another. Each is special in its own way.

Now, Berry, you are very lucky to land a girl like Lemon. I applaud the both of you for documenting your love on the internet. I daresay it a lost art, surpassed by the thousands of bloggers who seem to have lost the very core of blogging.

Your blogging style, while not as sweet as Lemon’s, is very cryptic. I am strangely drawn to it.

Whatever do you mean when you that you don’t need to take off any pants when you go to the toilet? Are you actually going around pantless ala Donald Duck?? Berry, you have to be more direct. J

Berry claims to be a purple fellow, but I’m guessing it’s part of his word play with their chosen theme (fruits). Cute. I LOLed at the part where he said that he stands out in pictures unless it is shot in black and white.

I think….that Berry’s blog actually is kind of a riddle for any blogger who drop by. A romantic and a cryptic person, indeed.

“If I keep watering myself, I’ll never go bald.”

I’m totally clueless. Anybody understands what he meant?

Let’s see what crazy ideas you guys can come up with. I’m sure Berry will be quite amused with the answers when he drops by after realizing that I’ve linked him all over this post.

Keep updating us about your love story, okay guys? I looove couple bloggers.

No one would imagine to go as a Slutty Joker Nurse!

Because Halloween is a perfectly legit reason for girls to go all out slutty without being called a slut.

I won’t blog about the whole event in this post, but it should be up by Monday. Need to pack and go back to Kedah tomorrow! I start treating patients on Monday. Wooohoo!

So I announced it on Facebook and got some pretty good response. Me is happy thus far.

There’s this poster with Heath Ledger’s face like that right?

My scariest Joker photo!

Why so slutty!

Yours truly was runner up for best dressed in the female category and I brought home a Nokia 5220 Xpressmusic. Giving it to my mother! I’m such a good daughter right!

And here I am, after washing everything off…with my real hair. It’s kind of nice to let those who met me in extreme ugliness that my face, by comparison, is quite okay and that my hair, is actually like long and not in some bob. (horrors. Had it back in form1).

Trying out the Heath Ledger poster look (as I did in one of the pictures above.)

There were many scary looking things at the Nuffnang Silent Halloween but I think the idea of packing my entire study area before I go back to Kedah is even more scary. It’s 4.16am now and I have not even started.

Stay tuned! I’m so pumped up to write about the party. It’s probably the most awesome event I’ve been to in a looooong loong time.

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

Now for the monthly newsletter about the life of Jolene Lai in Eat, Shit, Sleep style. I really should get a hold of myself. Or am I just growing up by procrastinating to blog?

Things are so bad that you’re actually looking at photos from one whole month ago.

If any of you remember the post about someone picking me up from a club (your loss if you don’t remember the link, I’m not giving any chances for anyone to agree with what the fucker said), then yeah, here are the photos from that clubbing trip.

I’ve said time and time again that the ONLY thing i like about clubbing is the dressing up and the opportunity to go all out with make-up without being called a tranny. Certain occasion calls for less make up and I’ve come to a point in my life where I need to have a bit of make up before I snap a photo of myself. I KNOW. Where has the old Jolene gone to right? The no shame, thick skinned ugly-mai-ugly lor version.

I’m not getting any younger. (it’s all downhill from 21 onwards.) I look like crap without eyeliner.

But worry not(or worry. Up to you.), there are still some photos where I am sans make up. I put them up online with a heavy heart.

Speaking of age, most of my classmates are two years older than me and will be 24 in 2009. Bwahahha. Funny incident in the car the other day.

Poh Yee and Zhu Zen were groaning and moaning about the year 2009.

Lie Yuen, who was sitting in front, said, “Two thousand ni?- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” before she realised why the year was so groan worthy.

They were all turning 24. Hahahahahahahahaahaha.

l-r: Cze-Yin, Myself, Poh Yee and Brenda. Sett was the designated driver for the night.

But of course, a photo of the four of us in the toilet was a must.

Yeap I know the corset cincher is a little weird. Don’t look. Concentrate at other places where it is more worthy of envy. Ahem.

L-r: Yii Ping, Cze-Yin, Poh Yee, Myself, Brenda and Ei Leng.

We went to Mois again. It was another one of those inter-dental batches outing.

Poh Yee was a little too overager to yam seng.

I know lah we all quite ss. But what’s the point of dressing up and not going trigger happy right? The other things I hate about clubs is the stench of cigarette smoke in my hair. And I know something will go terribly wrong at the end of the night. Like my chicken fillets losing their adhesive, or the disappearance of one side of my eyelashes and oh, a terribly sweaty face by midnight. Worse than no make up.

Chee Wen in midst drink.

The guys l-r: Sett, Kenneth, Melvin, Maxis and Tee Luun.

Melvin the clown! Check out Maxis’ red face!

By the way, I have this question about guys whose faces turn red. I was told that this means that his blood circulation is very good.

(maxis is NOT involved in my following ponderings)

Does this mean that a guy whose blood circulation is awesome has a very strong erection? You know, good blood flow and all!

Yii Ping gets red easily as well. I’m sure this doesn’t mean anything.

FInally! A smiling Tee Luun photo!

Yes, seductive look attempt #2495.

He wasn’t posing but was really staring at something. Strange boy.

Melvin and me.

Ei Leng and Brenda. Don’t you just love Ei Leng’s top?

It’s very pixie, fairy-tale like!

Kenneth and me. The both of us will be in charge of photography during dental night, right Kenneth? *meaingful tone*

And so the night wore on.

And I made a new friend! Meet Patrick, Tee Luun’s ex high school mate.

Wah Brenda damn stylo right.

Sett and I.

Sett and Ei Leng. What’s with the finger?

Adrian brought some first year pharmacy boys along. Patrick is the one in the middle btw.

My camwhoring skills is seriously sucking. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?

That’s how guys dance.

First time Maxis so affectionate.

Moving on to some more peaceful stuff:

Met up with Evon during the Raya holidays and she bought some stickers from me. This crazy girl has three phones and so she stuck her butterfly stickers on all three phones. One phone for each Telco company.

I was in for a surprise that day! I didn’t know that Eva and Evon knew each other! Eva is actually my kindergarten classmate when I was still studying in Petaling Jaya’s St. Anne’s Kindergarten. I moved to Ladybird USJ when I was 5 years old.

So turns out that they have been best friends for the longest time!

Thanks Evon for buying so much as usual!! (me with the calculator being happy with money earned)

When one is at SS15 McD’s Drive Thru (my favourite place to meet up with customers btw), one is bound to bump into old friends. Melissa and I looking very chilled. (both never wear make up = chilled).
She’s so sweet! She even bought some stickers from me. I forced her to take one FOC after she rejected my offer for giving it to her.

“This Jolene ah”

A few weeks ago, I went for Nuffnang’s Mama Mia screening in Penang. Brenda and I managed to get three tickets each as we were the early birds or something. Anyway, Lie Yuen, Chee Kiang, Cze-Yin and Poh Yee came along.

Don’t you just love the sunset from the Penang bridge?

Look at the colour tones!

It’s almost like a painting.

When you mention the Penang blogging scene, you do not leave Lilian Chan out. No, you don’t. I think Nuffnang had extra tickets and hence she had enough to pass to her friends and family.

Was nice to see you again Lilian, though our encounter was brief!

I don’t know many Penang bloggers and I should have gone around saying hello to more people but there isn’t this ‘blog meet’ vibe when everyone is waiting outside the cinema.

So I stuck to my comfort group. Patrick bumped into us there.

When Abby came back from Singapore, a few of us congregated for dinner somewhere in SS2. I’m bad with restaurant names.

Here’s Dennis having the best of both world. This is his Gluttony face.

This is his Envy Face. What’s there to envy lah KKb? It’s Pasta!!

This is his Sloth face. (lazy to use hands)

This is his Rage face! Hahahahahha. The restaurant had some special promo if we spent above Rm100 or something, we were entitled one plate of Seafood pasta for RM0.99!!

Mel wasn’t too please with her meal.

Vern Yang was. I was just trying to look like I have big eyes.

Yeah I know. Totally not made of that kind of cuteness. Sigh.

Mel looks so cute here! Like she’s burping!

Why Vern so tak layan=(

Me and my Bby!! Stupid girl went back to Malaysia when I was in Singapore over the Deepavali holidays.

An epiphany!

Hehehe Vern Yang so cute. Ku chi ku chi koo~

Why are my friends’ faces so rubbery-ly adorable?

Stale lah Mun Teng. At least Mel has a new expression.

Getting ready for Mun Teng’s kiss.

Haih, my silly friends.

I was forcing Abby to look down my shirt.

Just checking for cleavages.

A group photo.

Vern is trying to eavesdrop.

After reprimanding for having an oversized bag, my ‘friends’ ransacked my bag. It seems I’m quite the doraemon. (Polka dot thingie on the left is my umbrealla cover. Umbrella was in Kedah at the time the photo was taken.)

Vern having a go at my Nintendo DS.

Dennis finds my Gorilla Pod amusing. Actually, everyone does.

THAT NIGHT I WATCHED MAMA MIA AGAIN. For the third time. Omg.

I still love it though.

And I don’t know what I posed with.

Mel dared me to.

I was stuck for a moment there.

What’s left of the gang. Sigh. l-r: Myself, Chin Ju, Yijin( who has a new gf now! OoOoooOOoo!), Abby and Kwo Kuang.

I don’t think a lot of you have seen my brother in his new hair style. It actually suits him!

Mum and grandma. This was taken after our visit to the columbrium where my grandparents’ ashes are kept at. Paternal grandparents.

Dad and his clip ons.

Mervyn and Shevie.

One night, Mervyn and I were bored.

So cute right?!!

Like a little old lady, hanging her glasses around her neck.

Forcing her to wear her glasses nicely.

Angel’s eyes pain pain after wearing the glasses for too long.

Perfect!

I think she got the hang of it already.

During one of the night when we ate out. I love this function in my camera!!

Ethan and his adopted brother watching Moonlight Resonance together. SO CUTE RIGHT!!

Nothing new here, just another trip to Penang to shop, shop, shop. Lie Yuen is damn pretty here! You all also lah..*must praise one..cis.*

Camwhoring at Sakae Sushi. Japanese food can be eaten every single day. Mmmmmm.

Me and my california makis!

With this photo, the sale of sushis will increase.

Brenda and I were having some fun with the hairbands. And i bought mine. T_T

This was at Little.Black.Book. I really love their stuff!! Chee Kiang reckons this top is too short as a dress for my height. =( I’ll wear it out like that anyway. bah!

Forever 21 was also having their Absolute Bargain. it was crazy.. pieces were going for Rm30, Rm40, RM50…..but I managed to abstain from buying any. If you know how much I’ve spent in the past one month, you would run off and be a nun too.
