Not So Little Girl In A Reverie

Two new posts from the Sticker Monster!

Epoxy Stickers and Sandylion Stickers!

–

Sush has been back from UK since July before she starts life as a working lady at a big accounting firm there and so is Mun Teng who just graduated with a marketing degree and is currently trying her luck to land her dream job. Mel is pursuing her honours and I hope she is enjoying life as a part time tutor at Monash while I slog it out another two years before I join them as self respecting working ladies who (are about to) earn their own keeps.

The rest of the Dahlings are all over the world with Abby currently with OCBC in Singapore, Amanda trying to sort out her PR application in Aussie, Liss working in China, Chien still slogging for another three years before she is a doctor (bwahhaha i become one faster than you babes), Esther graduating from her design course and at the cross roads of staying in Aussie or going to Singapore, Min Dee still very much the happy go lucky Econs student in Brisbane with the forever-dream of working in Japan, She Dee the future nutritionist in Hawaii whom I have not spoken to in the longest time…………hence the reason why they couldn’t join us for the screening of Sex And The City at The Gardens, organized by Working Girls.

With a few of us still stuck at uni while the rest embrace working life, I hope we won’t grow apart in terms of mindset as how most people do. As it is we are not up to date with the latest in each others’ lives, I just wish we can hold on to what we have and still be friends who go to the same nursing home. At least those of us who have anak-anak derhaka lah.

As mentioned in a previous post, we were supposed to go as one of the girls from SATC. I can’t remember whether Mel went as Charlotte or Miranda as she if definitely not trying to pull a Samantha. Mun Teng rebelled and went as one of the Gossip Girls. (no specifics coz I have yet to start on that series. Soon, soon.)

I went as Jolene because she’s awesome. Actually failed attempt to go as Samantha T_T. Though it wouldn’t have been a good idea because none of my clothes look like they belong to a 50 year old woman. Seriously, now that I come to think of it, her dressing though revealing, it’s like those aunties trying to be young you know?
Sush went as Carrie. It’s the exact same outfit that Carrie wore as the four girls first appear on the silver screen, strolling down the street hand-in-hand.

We love this picture so much! Mun Teng should’ve come closer though.

A better one.

Ohh! It’s not like I didn’t come in anything un-SATC related. My pink heels appeared twice in the movie! Once as Samantha’s and another time as the guy in a suit who cross dresses.

Considering that we didn’t bump into anybody we know.. most of the people there were really working, WORKING women.

After the movie, it was off to Bar 21 along Changkat Bukit Bintang, where the after party was held. We were served super strong pink Cosmopolitans. Very SATC, props for that! Though the after party involved very little mingling or maybe because we were being prudish and stuck to ourselves… but we did expect there to be more interaction between the other members of the Facebook group and ourselves.

We did what we did best anyway. A little alcohol definitely helped kick start the process - we took many silly photos that proved for hilaaariioous Facebook photo comments.

But this is a nice one.

A mirror and a camera always means a photo must be taken.

Myself, Sush and Mel.

A big smile for the camera! Sure have to take picture okay, susah payah put make up all..

A kind stranger offered to help us take our photo.

Me invading Mu Teng’s personal bubble.

Then it was time for the kissy-kissy pictures.

I fail. We were trying to imitate Su-Hsien’s usual a-kiss-for-the-lens pics. This also started off the many imitations of the other Dahlings in later photos.

Why..so….sexy……………..

Why…so….uglyyy……
This was actually when Melody said can see my armpit hair and I tried to snap a photo of aforementioned armpit hair.

Melody and her cosmo.

Why my lips so small compared to Mun Teng’s?

When nobody wanted to play with me..

Sush and Mel pulling an Abby. Mel needed props coz achieving Abby’s eye diameters is no easy feat. Abby Heng, our dear friend of dinner plate eyes, melter of many hearts.

Sush you fail lah!
Mel getting Amanda ABSOLUTELY ACCURATELY. Like kena rasuk by Amanda’s spirit.

This is Chien’s usual reserved smile-pout. To which she denies.

And here you have Liss’ bright toothy grin with relaxed eye lids. Because she has small eyes(hey small eyes are beaaautiful okay. Not mine, but hers is pretty coz her lashes are thick) and when she smile they become like teddybear eyes. You know, how you can only see the blacks? Yeah, trying to achieve that they were.

Esther’s overager grin! Notice how the smile reaches up to the eyes?

LOL This is Min Dee. To which she was so very happy that we managed to imitate her. And her Facebook comment went something like:

“i’m glad you girls were thinking of me! and how wonderful to have a trademark pose!!! ehhehe pppiiiiiii~~~~ssuuuu!

V ( ^_^ ) V”

Trying to do a She Dee but failing.

Oh we were excellent Dennis Chans.
Mun Teng was happy Dennis.
I was angry Dennis. Really one, next time we take photographs to proof that he really smiles like that. Obviously the poses he reserves for stupidity in front of cameras.

Me in a spurt of randomness.

Jolene is anti girl-on-girl action.

A group photo with the purpose of our outing was an absolute must.

Perhaps they shouldn’t have ordered a second drink.

Me being a jakun. It was a long island Strawberry something something.

Me and my Lycheetini. I won’t tell you what I said about it.

Just testing the waters…..nope. Still prefer to kiss men. (actually singular.)

Ahhh, the effects of the second glass.

Also can be seen how my camwhoring l33t skillz deteriorate as the alcohol level in my blood rises.

I asked Dennis to give me the face of a hero who came all the way from Subang to ferry four damsels in distress back at 2am.
More like a hamsap lou who is keen to have his way with Mun Teng.

HAHAHAHA. To those of you who know how Sush is like about photos of her, you can understand why this pic is so very very very funny and should be up on your walls to cheer you up after a bad day. Because her day was definitely much more worse when this picture went up on Facebook/Jolene’s blog.

The next night, we decided to be a little more co-ed. We had drinks with Kev and E-Guy at Republic, Sunway Pyramid.

There was a party in one of the clubs there, a 22 year old friend of a friend was celebrating her birthday there and I used the adjoining toilet and had the shock of my life. (at least in recent times.)

I knew there were trannies hired to perform at the club for the girl’s birthday (very nice somemore, the theme of the party was white and everyone came in white) and they were getting ready in the toilet.

As I came out of the toilet, all I saw was this TALLLL figure and in the middle of it, there were two big perky boobs just pointing perpendicular to the talllllll figure’s body. Very the scary. The dress she had on is something Cher would wear, but all I could think of were those boobs and how she was pushing each boob into each side of the dress. THink Jennifer Lopez’s plunging necklines. She/he had a few assistants assisting her/him. The boobs were not anything to be shy of, apparently. I guess when you want to be a woman, it’s okay to flaunt your boobs.

Jolene the girl who pretends to have an open mind strode pass her cooly and proceeded to wash her hand and didn’t stare as much as she wanted to. Very muka maintain.

When the entourage left the toilet, I turned to Mel with eyes as wide as Abby’s and she said, “I KNOW what you want to say lah.”

We later adjourned to McD’s Drive Thru in SS15 to meet Kwo Kuang.

Me not approving of his cigaretting ways.

Letting Kwo Kuang practice his camwhoring skills. My hair damn oily..argh. I spent an entire day at Cheras Leisure Mall that day and got a call from the girls at the very last minute.

Showing off my l33t dental skillz.

Fast forward one week back in SP and it was the start of my holiday in between Year 3 and Year 4. I’M GOING TO BE IN YEAR 4 SOON!! Can’t stress this is enough. Hahaha.

Here we are at Kwo Kuang’s mini-birthday gathering at The Apartment, Curve.

l-r: Soon Seng, Me (NOT SAME TOP OKAY. I sensitive to such allegations.), Kwo Kuang.

What I wore that night was actually thrown on at the very last minute. I just got back from Kedah on that day itself and to my horror I forgot my pretty electric blue Forever21 dress. I bought a baby blue tunic(the one I wore in the Republic photos) and the dress from this Lowyat seller. She takes your orders(chosen from Forever21.com) and sends them to her US address and ships it back to Malaysia. Two items inclusive of postage is about the price of one dress from a local Forever21 store. My top is like 12 USD and my dress is about 20 USD. I is happy happy happy girl. Wait no, forgot I left them back in Kedah. I is sad again.

Anyway, so I looked in my wardrobe and everything is SO over worn. I know I shouldn’t be such a stupid bimbo lah, but I can’t help it okay, when you have your mind set on wearing a certain dress, anything worn before seems to be inappropriate for the occasion.

I found this baby blue skirt I bought from Summit a year ago for RM20. Never worn before. I knew that it would be useful as a tube top one day and sure enough I used it as a tube top that night. It was paired with a brown corduroy miniskirt which Esther gave me. It’s nice to know I’m only one dress size bigger than my girls. I get pretty hand me overs. (not downs, overs.)

Most of the friends there were Kwo Kuang’s friends from Nottingham Semenyih.
I love big gatherings too because this is where I get to meet new people. That’s how the world becomes smaller and smaller.
l-r: Aaron, Josephine, Su Ann, Li-Lynn, Kwo Kuang, Chin Ju, Soon Seng, myself.

To show my appreciation for the birthday boy.

Kwo Kuang is DAMN proud of his checkered shoes. So am I of my metallic blue pumps. Damn proud.

Kwo Kuang with l-r: Weng Hoe, Melody, Ning Kang and Weng Lum.

I made a boo boo with Ning Kang. He was excited that I knew Ken who is my junior, and when you talk about Penang swimmers(he is a swimmer too) you will naturally mention/ask if one knows Nian Ning. Shouldn’t have. He was equally surprised to know that I was one of the bloggers behind the whole petition thing and shook my hand gratefully. It was a nice moment for me.

Yijin and Yen Chiew!

Weng Lum and me! I consider him one of my best guy friends although we only meet like twice a year. But we have MSN to keep us going! But even that, we don’t chat like ALL the time. Nevermind hor Weng Lum, quality over quantity kan! Weng Lum, my friends, is the oracle. You can never tell him news. He tells YOU the news.

Since the first picture is not a good one of him, I must sacrifice one photo in which I look shitty and him looking quite nice.

Chin Ju and Yiin who were the earliest SU boys there.

Kwo Kuang’s face is like, “Awwww, you shouldn’t have!” Oi bitch, your eyes smaller here okay. So small until must use tolok skru micrometer if want to fight with me.

Why is Barry scared of me? This is Standard 6 all over again!!

All we needed was Yijin to bond the two of us together.

But Yijin had his intentions.

When I looked at this photo, I got kind of lazy to name everyone but here goes:
Standing l-r: Tze Ching, Weng Hoe, Weng Lum, Zhao Heng, Terence
Sitting l-r: Aaron, Ning Kang, Melody, Josephine, Li-lynn, Johnson, Su Ann, Kwo Kuang, Lauren, Soon Seng, Me, Chin Ju, Yen Chiew, Yijin.

This was before Li-lynn left. Her half gweilo-half chinese boyfriend is damn hot! It’s very cute to see her chattering away noisily as how she usually does in perfect Manglish, and her boyfriend is so calm and british.

On top was the parazzi shot. This one is the frame-worthy one.

Okay people, Kwo Kuang and I have had the longest debate….who has smaller eyes?

l-r: Kevin, Me, E-Guy.

Tzeching and I. I look like a giant next to her. Why you so petite ah Tzeching!

The SU boys, in true SU Boys fashion, arrived at long last. To give them credit, they were held up at their respective obligations. Two of the Bukit Bintang boys (weng Hoe and Terence) looked on and said, “Even co-ed school also damn cock fest!”

LOL.

After awhile, I realised I was the only girl left.
l-r: Yijin, Chun Guan, Ji Yang, E-Guy, Me, Kevin, Kwo Kuang, Chin Ju.

l-r: Weng Hoe, Kwo Kuang (WTF WHY IS WENG HOE HUGGING YOUR WAIST AHHHHHHHH), Terence.

And here we have a little break from high school mates and their friends who became my friends.

My classmates (the North Malaysian ones) came down for a shopping trip in KL. I joined them at One Utama (of all places to shop if you’re going for variety and affordability..-___-) on Tuesday. I showed them the true meaning of shopping in KL when I drove them over to Hartamas instead. When you’re a student and your dad doesn’t shit gold, you don’t stop at One Utama. I don’t like One Utama one actually. I can never buy anything from there.

L-r: Me, sock Nee, Jimmy. Jimmy stays in Puchong, so he played host to the rest of them who came down.
This was at the Paris Hilton shop. She trying to be like Guess issit? Her bags are all so Barbie Doll-esque.

Angela and myself. Angela is also from KL. Cheras to be specific. My KL classmates are only divided into three ares in KL/KLang Valley. Subang Jaya(4 of us), Cheras (3) and TTDI(3).

Stolen shot with Pei Zhi before the Vincci buy told us off for snapping photos. Can’t stand shopkeepers who tell us off for taking photos at their premises.

Playing the (shopping)devil’s advocate, I introduced the wonderful world of Hartamas boutiques to the girls.

The boys would cheer whenever they see a stool for husbands/boyfriends in each boutique.

From Cats Whiskers. Yep, I bought it.

You can’t really see the print of the smock here but I really like it.

Good hair day!

After playing tour guide to my classmate, it was time to meet Delene aka Ah Sou. Must show respect okay, it is our tai lou Adrian’s girlfriend. Have heard so much about her over the past three years and only now I get to meet her. Whose fault is it ah Adrian?

The other couple. Inside joke, inside joke.

Main kayu tiga one this Yijin. That’s Yen Chiew.

Who is the lousy photographer! Tell me!! I look strangely fair…with a patch of foundation gone from my forehead…. I think I look like the Joker. Awesome.

This is Foong.

And here are some cute photos of Angels to relax your eyes a bit. Taken after her bath.

I promised her a snack and so she turned to look at me.

She looks like she have given up on her struggles.

On Thursday night we had a long deserved night in at Sush’s place for champagne and some pastries which she conjured up in her kitchen. Here’s Mun Teng being very impressed with the date of the champagne. 1988 wei! Older than my brother!

Melody spasticking.

Cannot beat my spasticness lah Mel.

Kwo Kuang and I should have an open eyes big big competition. Winner of our long standing argument can easily be identified that way.

While propping the camera on the chair, I stepped on something wet and didn’t move as Sush went to get a cloth.

The four dahlings having a quiet night in. Full of hamsap jokes and stupidity.

Mel showing how awesome she is after pulling out the cork.

I’m all “Yeah Mel whatever”.

Why Mun Teng’s face so sad.

She looks damn fierce if she doesn’t smile, right?!

I must have been asking for Sush to top op. Mel’s like, “She’s had too much.”

Nice photo! It’s very nice to have something decent when every other photo is just so embarrassingly stupid and funny.

Another case of giantism from me. Gah.

Sush’s efforts!

The champagne goes in for maximum poserness.

Hahahahaha..Mun teng doesn’t look like Mun Teng anymore.

And this is Li-Hsien, Sush’s sister.

Foong is damnnnnn funny one. He makes me laugh like a hyena and then I regret it later for looking super unladylike.

After the third or fourth glass, I was eating chestnuts and dumped one in. When they asked, “JO!! Whatever for?” and I replied, “Have you not heard of olives?”

Oh, I need to apologize to Dennis who emoed that he was not ‘chi mui’ enough to be included in the girly night in. I had no idea it wasn’t and that Foong was coming! Bad Foong! *puts hands on hips*

Forgot what they were laughing about..

Must’ve been quite funny.

Even my Thursday self also didn’t know what was so funny.

Out came the gorilla pod. And here is Mel who is horny/a unicorn. Then at the side is that thing you saw in your nightmares.

Foong educating us.

Varieties in life.

Lucky bitch.

Serious medical condition.

Mun Teng and I being hiau pors as usual. So what’s new eh?

OH! OH! This was another stupid moment where I tried to stuff five chestnuts into my mouth. Rule #1: Chestnuts must be visible!

Trying realllly hard.

Great success! I love this photo even though I’m sure I look quite mad.

Foong found Li-Hsien’s BM notebook and wrote an essay on the last page.

If you can’t read, I’ll type it out for you:

” ‘Saya Sebatang Pen’ Oleh Foong

Pada suatu hari, saya rasa sungguh sejuk. Dimanakah saya berada? Saya tidak tahu kenapa kelilingku sungguh gelap. Tetapi says rasa sebelah saya sama seperti saya. Eh? Kenapa? Adakah saya di dalam neraka? Syurga? Tidak!

Tiba-tiba, ada cahaya yang cerah sampai saya hampir buta. Saya sengar suara manusia. Ohhh….saya terkejut dan ink terpancut keluar. Ohhhh….rasa sungguh mewah.

Oh, saya boleh baca atas badan saya ada tulisan. Saya bernama, “Recycle Wood’.

Terima Kasih.”

My advice to Sush’s sister is to tear out the page as soon as as possible later kena sent to the discipline teacher for writing erotic stories.

I made Mun Teng do the Happy Dennis face again. Damn cute right!

Love Dick!

When Mun Teng punch people she damn stone one.

I look like a dog and Mun Teng is like a fierce owner.

Okay, goodnight. Very very very late. Like 6am late.

When Chee Kiang came up to Kedah to see me, we finally decided to explore Sungai Petani. Yeap. After three years. Having a car definitely fueled the process but yeap, after three years. I should be ashamed of myself.

Our first stop was the Merbok waterfalls. I’ve heard that horny couples go there to fornicate as there are condoms strewn about. I don’t know, my friends tell me wan. When I went there I saw an old underwear though.

It’s almost like we’re driving up to some highlands.

I think it’s more of a water catchment plant than a waterfall. It’s too pathetic to be a waterfall. Not to mention gross.

That’s Lie Yuen walking down for a closer look. Very nice meh to bergolek-golek on the rocks? Sex on the rocks hahaha. I wouldn’t want fish spa where fishes don’t belong or get rock burns(you know, like carpet burns? Geditgedit? *forces joke on you*). Or make the headlines: “Naked couple found at the riverbank.”

Would you bathe in that, honestly? The water might look clear, but it’s not like it’s a gushing waterfall, more like a trickling pipe. Eurghh.

Chee Kiang seems to have no problem exploring a little bit more.

I went down anyway. I did try my best not to touch the water but I got soaked right up to my thighs.

Hahaha the guy looks like he is dead.

The water is actually quite beautiful despite where it comes from. What pissed us off were some kids and their parents nearby who were washing their hand with shampoo and washing their cars as well!

A little bit of fauna.

Ehehe, pembiasan cahaya. Lie Yuen and Cze-Yin look like they have elephantitis in this picture.

Urgh…;probably some vendors washing their chairs.

Chee Kiang said I should send this photo to The Star.

After that, we went to a place which was mentioned over and over in our history books : Lembah Bujang!

The day before our ‘big adventure’, Chee Kiang was googling about Merbok(the area where Sungai Petani is located in) and it actually has a very extensive history! It stretches back to the neolitic times!! This is why Lembah Bujang has all these ancient ruins of temples and it is also the home of many archaeological sites. The Merbok river was used for trading and it is the same river that I drive over every morning!

They are not exactly majestic ruins but just bits and pieces from the ancient times.

For all you know they snapped it off a pillar somewhere in Putrajaya.

I’m trying very hard to be impressed.

Nice. Bricks on bricks. This is apparently a temple(Candi) and a bronze Buddha statue was once placed in the middle.

Of all the temples, I think this was the nicest. But it looks like the people back then were pretty much midgets.

This is me getting sidetracked by some petai hanging from a tree.

Me and my boy with them temples.

We found some strange fruits on the floor. it reminds me of those sesame balls that are usually served during dimsum.

Chee Kiang tried squashing some.

Wahh…… pieces of ceramics. Wooo..

Okay I have to admit that this one is pretty impressive. I actually took a photo of one of the Batu Bersurats and the writing on it is damn cute. Like a giant face that is super ugly. I forgot to edit so yeah, moving on.

I don’t know if the sampans are able to be seen clearly but they are the ‘Perahu Sagor’ that traders used back in the ancient times. Many were found marooned at the sides of the Merbok river.

What trip of Sungai Petani would be complete without going up Gunung Jerai? I couldn’t possibly graduate and leave Sungai Petani without going up the mountain that I stare at wonder each and everyday. I’ve always loved how the clouds envelope the tip of the mountain and the lone yellow light that flickers at the top of the mountain at night.

I drove up, he drove down. It was actually quite cooling up there!

The place was under renovation. There is actually a holiday resort there which was said to be pretty shabby.

As you can see, with the new additions, we might even stay there for a night.

Ya whatever. We walked pass it.

Mist! Can you see it?

Shabby as it is, the view is really really awesome. Paddy fields stretch into the horizon and clouds form a fluffy layer above the greens.

That’s Pulau Bunting with its white elephant bridge. Satu lagi Projek Barisan Nasional..

=) Chee Kiang is currently in Romania now. Partying(according to him, the Pharmacy Student Conference that he is attending is 20% conference and 80% party) away with future pharmacists from all over the world. There was even one night where everybody traded alcohol beverages from their homeland. He had Korean Beer, Slovenian Beer, Spanish Beer, Finnish Beer, Denmark beer..etc.

Oh look, trying to be Cameron Highlands.

Imagine being stranded there at night.

The road is only wide enough for one car to pass. So, becareful if you drive up Gunung Jerai.

We’ve always agreed that the sunsets at Sungai Petani yield the most beautiful colours. Especially during April. Somehow the sunsets are prettier.

This was taken in Penang when I sent Chee Kiang back to his grandmother’s house. damn nice right?

Right after our Cameron Highlands Trip, we celebrated Angela’s birthday at Old Town. Old Town is probably the best thing to ever happen to Sungai Petani. Here’s Chee Wen opening Angela’s cake at high speed.

My favourite kind of cake. Mmmm.

Jimmy showing us why he needs more cake.

I’m sure other girls will kill me if I pull this one on them, but Angela is probably the most patient and gentle person in our class. No prizes for guessing who is the most impatient and ganas person in class.

Happy Belated Birthday, Angela!

And this is the night where we thought that the North Zone Sports Carnival which was held our university would rake in like 900 students to watch the games and thus bought enough fruits to feed 900 people. Our of four events, the only event held at AIMST was the badminton game and even so, you think people would bother to turn up? ARGH. We were our best customers.

We had Honeydew, watermelon, papaya and banana ice blended. Not all together lah, it’s a combination of any two fruits, with nata de coco and ice.

To cut a long story short, my ice shaver died half way and I officiated my mum’s juicer and it worked amazingly well!! A post about my attempt at making honeydew milk shake will be up soon!

SEE! Grrrrr. Had to give so many fruits away at the end of the carnival.

Xin Yi and Chee Wen were pleased to find that the Papaya has a starry-inside.

Even the tip of the papaya is star-shaped! Reminds me of Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction.

Xin Yi and I on the first day of the event. All the carrying and shifting is not fun at all.

That’s our beautiful signboard that Jimmy, Sett, Chee Wen, Ee Chia etc etc made. So creative right! The tooth is made by papier-marche on a wiremesh. They cleverly used a tub of soil to hold the stick which holds the toth.

l-r: Chee Wen, Sett and myself.

Jimmy was a real neat freak - in a good way of course. If we didn’t have him around we would definitely have a tough time with the whole arrangement and all our attempts at maintaining a hygienic environment(note the plastic gloves) would go out the window.

Friday morning’s shift!

Oooh! Ooh! I’m sure I have friends who know this guy up there, right next to me. He is Justin Tiew and we have plenty of mutual friends together. He is actually my step cousin - his step dad is my dad’s cousin. A few chinese new years ago (when his Step Dad was still alive, he passed away last year), I think it was back in 2004, his step dad told me that his step son, Justin is studying in Taylor’s College, A-Levels as well. So I was on this mission to find out who this step cousin of mine is.

I don’t know what made me do this, but once when my class and another class were crossing paths between classes along the corridor, I saw this guy and my instinct told me, “This is Justin”. I tilted my hip towards him, and with two hands doing the gun-shape thingie like some loserish wannabe western fellow trying to say, “Yo!” and said, “You’re Justin right?” (hip tilt, gun hands - all in one swift motion).

And the guy was like, “No?!” and hurried along. Damn shy man.

I gave up on my quest to search for Justin Tiew. I did hear his name here and there throughout college but have never met the fella. We even worked on the same editorial team but never met. He designed the cover for that year’s A-level yearbook.

No one would have guessed where we finally met.

On Kennysia’s tagboard. -__- (that was my first and last time tagging there okay. At least I don’t use it as a chatroom.)

And so during my first year in dentistry, he finally added me on MSN. After many clashing schedules throughout the years, we finally met recently in Sungai Petani where his father’s family resides.

So this is the story of my step cousin whom I met for the first time in my life.

I’ll wrap this post up with a photo of an over elated Ah Thong celebrating his 23rd birthday!

Filed under: 56k killer, Celebrations, Trips!, eat shit sleep | 6 Comments! »

I was pleasantly surprise to know that Soon Seng, a friend from my school days, is also growing to be a rather active Nuffnanger. Hence, I decided to give him something nice to commemorate the occasion.

This is a starkingly obvious post about the Nuffnang Gift Ideas Contest. The both of us pakated to do this together. So go see his post and be blown away, he really is a photoshop maestro and I think he did magic with whatever video editing software he has. My jaw literally dropped.

The idea is to get a present for a fellow Nuffnanger from Realmart and then blog about it. Realmart is RealRewards’ New Online Store - where RealRewards’ members can purchase their items using their accumulated points.

We’re both of course, trying to win the prizes that are up for grabs.

So here’s my futile attempt:

On a sunny Sunday afternoon at McDonalds SS15 Drive-Thru, Jolene and Soon Seng met up for drinks to catch up on old times. Jolene was in a generous mood.

Jolene loves how Soon Seng’s face looked so excited.
Jolene suggested that since his girlfriend, Joyce, is back home in Negeri Sembilan, it’s best if she gets him a Victorinox Overnight Essentials Kit. He would need it when he goes over to visit her. It’s also quite discreet, rather than a suitcase where her parents might raise eyebrows. Then he can continue to be a good boy and just stay until quite late so that her parents can say, “Aiyah Soon Seng, just stay over lah..so late already..too late to drive back to KL.” Then he can be all, “YAYY!” and whips out his Victorinox Overnight Essentials Kit and will be all set to borrow Uncle’s pyjamas.

But then Soon Seng, as Jolene has never known him to be, was a tad materialistic. The RM135 present was too insignificant for him.

Jolene had a sudden bright idea. The PERFECT gift. A sleeping bag would be good when there’s a loving girlfriend staying miles away from you, also equally awesome when that loving girlfriend and you have a fight. (but according to Soon Seng, they barely fight.) If her house doesn’t have enough mattress for you, you can impress the parents by saying, “It’s okay lah Aunty, thanks Uncle, but I can sleep in the hall lah. No problem one. See, I got my sleeping bag!”

But it wasn’t Soon Seng’s idea of a real gift from a friend who owes him many years of presents.

But Soon Seng wanted something practical. And practicality to him is the Apple Ipod Classic 80GB in Black. He would rather listen to an endless supply of music and watch all the videos in the world than work on impressing his future in laws.

But Jolene is quite stingy by nature and gave it a second thought. She probably won’t fork out RM939 for Soon Seng since he has never given her anything before.

Jolene, as usual, had another bright idea. A Remote Controlled Robot would be such a great gift! All boys love Robots, right? Plus, this robot walks, dances, grooves, delivers karate chops(lol the website say one) and even picks up and throws objects. It’ll be very handy for Soon Seng. Might be able to help him out in his daily activities.

But perhaps he has been exposed to the possibilities that the technology in Japan can offer..hence the fussiness.

Jolene giggled at the thought of giving Soon Seng the Osim iGalLop. Everybody could do with a go on the Osim iGalLop. It helps to distress, work those hip muscles, trims the waist, work up a sweat, entice men by gyrating hips…etc.

Soon Seng will not fall for Jolene’s lame jokes.

Soon Seng’s skin is rather thick and still expects a present from Jolene after everything.

Jolene never knew that even shopping for a guy online is as bad as shopping for boys offline.

Jolene wanted to get Soon Seng something classy. She chanced upon the Burberry Brit For Men EDT Spray and thought that it’ll be perfect. Everyone loves perfume right? It’s the easiest gift to get!

However, it didn’t go as planned as Soon Seng took her suggestions to heart and made plans to bathe more that night.

Jolene knows that as a boy, Soon Seng probably loves cars. So she finally decided, “Aiyah, okaylah, just get him this.”

It was a Lamborghini! Of course Soon Seng was happy.

Soon Seng look overly grateful and probably a little bit paiseh about the extent of my gift. I’m a very giving person at times.

Jolene hopes she made it clear to Soon Seng that it’s a Bburago Lamborghini Murcielago Model Car, though.

It’s 3am and I’m almost done packing for my entire month worth of holiday. I hate the packing process so much, ugh. Hamster cages are cleaned and ready for boarding. Clothes are selected. Edible leftovers are thrown away. Floors are swept. Ahahaha, just kidding about the last part.

I want to share with all of you something I wrote to this long time crush of mine when I was 13 years old! It was my second love letter to him after the one I sent to him in form 1 went unreplied. Found it in my box of letters/cards while clearing up and it was fun to walk down memory lane. When I made a photocopy of the letter, I KNEW that there would come a day where I would want to reread my silliness. So here’s a little something for all of you to read while I drive back to Subang on Saturday morning. Perhaps I’ll paste my juvenile poems(that were mostly written with a broken heart) next time too! Used to have a whole book full of sad love poems.

Looking back, it was a very nice experience for a young girl like me. Though this boy never reciprocated my feelings for him, he certainly stirred up emotions that were all firsts for me! First tears, first confessions, first stomach clench, first racing heartbeat, first shy glance, first walk home. The makings of a Sweet Valley Twins book.

With Chee Kiang, it’s a whole other world of firsts. More important and meaningful firsts. I’ve repeated our story over and over, so have something else for a change!

Enjoy!

Dear JT,

I don’t know I chose to write to you, instead of him. (not Chee Kiang, hahaha, he came into my life a year later.) Maybe because you’ve been in my heart longer than he has. Maybe because he turned me down faster than you could. I don’t know why I had the guts to write to you although I know I’ve tried once and never received a reply. Do you remember when that was? I do. 18 November 1999.

I don’t know if I still like you. I don’t know why I chose to like him. (god, I can’t remember who I was crushing on at that time. Getting old already..) Maybe I was bored? Maybe I wanted to know if I’m really unable to get any guy I want? I guess I found out.

What I’m gonna say and ask may have been repeated a dozen times. But I really want to tell you more since next year would be your last year in school. You said something to me the other day online that I’ve been dying to hear all along.

You said you missed me. You seemed so nice. You sounded exactly like I’ve imagined you to be. Just then. You were so sweet, so sincere. I guess I fell for the image of the person I put in my dreams. I fell for the man I’ve built in my imagination. You wouldn’t know how much I used to cry for you.

Till this day, I’m still kicking myself for not breaking down in front of your eyes the day you told me you were with another. I was wailing by the time you left. I remember you touched my shoulder when you left. I thought something was wrong with me to have you treat me that way.

I thought I was wrong from inside out. I thought you never wanted me to be part of your life. But right now, I feel very discontented when you walk pass me, while looking in another direction. In another way.

Maybe you really didn’t see me at all, or maybe you did. Who knows?

The first day I saw you, 16 Jan 1999. My 12th birthday!

The first time you talked to me, 8 October 1999. 8 means something to me since then. And that is why I chose it as my volleyball jersey number. I believe I was very lucky on that day. If you have really liked a person as much as I have, you would understand what I mean. You would understand better if you never got that person too.

Okay, I can admit to you that since the day you told me you were with Kshin, I was very very very sad. Eventually I got on with my life and I forgot all about you. It was until I told this other boy that I like him (ah yes, now I remember. the guy who got together with the girl that chee kiang likes. Which was how our story began.). And as you know, he didn’t feel the same.

When you broke my heart, for many nights I just laid in my bed and cried and cried. When no one was around.

These days, I jump back in bed to cry because what my heart always desires won’t be obtained. (seriously, Jolene lai at 13 years old. Please shoot yourself.). So If you can read my mind you would know that right now I’m in a daze whether to bring my heart back to you because of all the things that happened before. But if you could get yourself to make me yours, you would know that I will really, really want you a lot. (I think I meant to say ‘love’, but it was too big a word for me at that age.)

You may think that you don’t know me at all and that I have huge mood swings. But I know you! Things can change, cant it? There’s always a turning back in whatever you do. You can fix wrong and you can make right. (sounds like a motivational book from here onwards….)

Sometimes I think you’re weird….sometimes I think you’re…..er….desirable….Ya…that!

I always see something special in the person I like though it is always oblivious to the people I share my stories with. Before you leave for college, I would like to complete a couple of my dreams. And that is up to you to fulfill.

I would love to have you walk me home a few more times before the year ends and at least write me a letter.

Sometimes I feel you think that I keep forcing you. Maybe I do. You tell me! (no kidding..)

This may sound stupid but I once visualized your wedding. I saw myself with a fake smile on and a broken heart inside. Am I scaring you?

If ever you would want me or ask me to be with you, I’d just float through the clouds.

I’d want you to treat me like a real woman. (13 only la wei wtf wtf wtf bulu pun takde!)

(okay, i’m leaving the next line out. My conservative 21 year old brain cannot take the next line. Damn geli wei.)

Have affection for me and a desire to be with me. I don’t want you to be neglecting me.

If you’re wondering, why the sudden spill of words: Our conversation the other day which consisted of words that I’ve been dying to hear….and my knack for not getting what my heart needs. I cried for him, I cried for you, I cried for me. I like crying. It makes me feel better. But I think a pour of emotion is better than crying alone hence this letter to you.

I want to share my tears with you~ I want you to know how I feel and felt.

I guess I’ll end the letter here. Can you promise me that the least you would do is to actually write back? Do what your heart think is right. Feel what this letter makes it feel. Go with the flow. Don’t break this one promise.

I’ll be waiting,
Jolene.

WAHAHAHHAA. Ok, now I’ll burn the stupid photocopied letter. I wonder where I learned to be so emo. And not to mention LAME. Oh my god. Okay, I hope you all had a good laugh at some so-pathetic-can-die parts and will still be able to look at me the same way as before. I’m very cool one now okay.
