Blogger has served me relatively well but I've since decided it's time to move on.
No more imeem. No more cherry clock. No more tagboard. No more colours.

Join me in my new journey.

One of the worst issues I dread to face would be regarding friendships. You know, you can be a son of a gun, a whore or a piece of dung and I wouldn't judge you.

B e c a u s e

I respect you as a friend.
It's your life and you have your entitlements.

So go; go break a few fragile hearts, go blow that puny dick, go steal your brother's money, go fight that arrogant dude, go out and make merry. Get high on life. I promise not to frown, unless you are too crude or explicit or hopeless to handle.

If anyone should ever try to change you, it wouldn't be me. That responsibility falls upon your family. I am here to listen and give you opinions when you want them. If you don't, I'd zip. I may disagree with what you do, but like I said, it's your life, your call. If what I say falls on deaf ears, I can't help it, can I?

Likewise, I'd expect that in return. So why the fuck, arsehole? Just because you are mediocre and sad and insecure, you judge me. You scrutinize my actions. You curse when I have it good. You gloat when I go through tough times. I dunno what to think of you now but hopefully, it makes you feel better... being so jealous and pathetic.

And arsehole, I know you will be reading this.
Cheers to this superficial friendship, dearest copycat :)

DAY 2: MACAU - HK

I woke up first to utilize the bathtub and splendid bubble bath one last time before we check-out :( Pestered Da Ge to buy McDonalds breakkie up to the suite so we all could sit back and relax in the comfort of our own room. Did you know that Macau's McDees actually serve McMuffins at night? Okay now you know...

This Da Ge gleefully announced he bought a "promotional item" for himself; which was a special kind of Big Breakfast. The scrambled eggs had ham and onions in them. He then got me the normal Big Bfast. Plain eggs -.-'''''' How can like that??? Da Jie? Oh, she had hot cakes.

rise and shine...

so-so view from the 13th storey.

One fantastic thing about this suite was that, there were ample sockets/plugs in the living room. Perfect! Can charge 3 hps, plug electronic kettle, charge camera, use laptop and use printer all at the same time. No more fighting.

happily charging our mobiles. yes, the menu is chio.

window ledge.

Then it was time to check out :(((( We opted for the express service and attempted to make our way to the ferry terminal. But, the whole place was so huge we lost our way. Had to ask like 3 security guards before we managed to get out of the hotel. Lol.

1 of the 4 lobby's shopping "arcade".

there were really many branded boutiques housed in the hotel.

Chopard.

I slept through the whole ferry ride back to HK. Couldn't bear to open my eyes or else I'd feel dizzy and pissed. Isn't it a wonder why people can order bowls of soupy noodles in an unstable ferry? How to eat?

reached HK and making our way to YMCA.

So we stayed 3 nights in YMCA and the recep was kind enough to upgrade our room to the VIP floor - 22nd storey. And she also threw in a late check-out when I requested for one. Sweet!

if you couldn't tell, actually we were all exhausted...

toilet's on the left, wardrobe's on the right.

1 queen and 1 single bed.

that's about it. pretty spacious for 3 pax.

Proceeded to unpack our stuff in the hotel room before we took the MTR (our MRT, doh!) to Da Ge's friend's service apartment. Omgosh her building is fucking awesome and posh! No pictures on the Victorian-style angel door handles and male porters/receps coz I'm quite scared they will throw me out or and bark "No pictures allowed!". Anyway, let's call Da Ge's friend, E. She's an expat there and has the whole 2-bedroom apt to herself. Condos and flats in HK are all tiny but I reckon it's more than good enough for her.

E's living room, dining room and kitchen are actually all within 1 premise! See below.

Da Ge at the dining table, Da Jie seated on the living room sofa, the yellow thingy beside her head is the kitchen.

The friendly E then brought us to The Peak but visibility was poor due to 2 consecutive day's of rain :( There wasn't much to do there so we just trekked our way along the snaky terrain. E told us that it's a superb place for pak tor-ing and jogging. Too bad for me, I was holidaying with Da Jie and Da Ge. Haha.

can you see that 1 of the building's mysteriously "chopped"?

forcing a smile.

E and Da Ge.

tram.

trekking.

Dinner was at Bubba Gump. Sounds cute right? It's a Forrest Gump themed restaurant! Specialty were shrimps and as you might already have guessed, food there was expensive. Da Jie and myself weren't particularly hungry so the 4 of us ordered 2 appetizers and 2 mains only. The bill was S$100++.

cheery menu.

this sign is supposed to highlight to the waiters that you DON'T need their service.

interior.

appetizers - grilled golden prawns VS fried popcorn prawns.

mains - prawn pasta VS steak and prawns.

Toured around the mall before we headed to Madame Tussaud's. Tickets were priced at S$22 per pax and for that kinda money, I thought it was a disappointment. Basically there weren't much to see and I couldn't even relate to some of the wax figurines.

my sista and the olympic bunnies.

a real fluffy bunny!

Over at Madame Tussaud's, we took many silly pictures/poses which I shan't post. Lighting there was too bright also. So annoying! Didn't get to see Nicholas Tse/Edison Chen/Maggie Q and all the hotter people in the sex scandal though. Sian. However, to think they put up..........

Twins!? wtf.

and Cecilia???

my latest squeeze.

Mr Bond.

Da Jie, where's your golf ball huh?

his wife was beside him but heck lah.

this is love.

the real Jay's in Macau btw. haha.

looks like Joey? nah...

I'm shy.

yes, I'm patriotic kay.

Leo Ku.

hahaha. shut up already, will you?

It took us prolly 45 minutes to be done with the entire museum. Cabbed down to Lan Kwai Fong for some drinks. This place is overrated, rowdy and messy! I no like! Should have gone to E's district coz there's a stretch of classy, neat looking watering holes there. But I guess everyone was somewhat worn out so we just plonked our tired bums in this smoky pub.

LKF.

believe me when I say there's many, many more ppl than this.

told you.

we were seated upstairs.

Da Ge got so excited when we were placing our orders coz he seldom gets a chance to kick back and wind down in SG. Why? He's always in charge of sending ppl home so he can't drink much! Lol. We didn't blame him when he ordered and ordered.... and ordered.

a medley of 6 flavoured, fire shooters.

Da Ge whacking his shooter, I had the melon baby.

what's burning?

flaming lambo.

bottoms up!

this blue dope is something like long island tea

Among these, we also had baileys, 2 cokes, 3 bots of perrier, 3 bots of evian, chicken wings and free flow of peanuts! Total bill came up to a cool S$200. No prizes for guessing who was the most incoherent for the night. This person was either gibberish or speaking French on a repeat mode. Muahahaha. Called it a night at 2am and it was back for a good night's sleep.... not!

Holiday with Da Jie and Da Ge (not my blood brother lah, stupid!) was a breeze, given the fact that I don't have to do the planning and misc stuff. Just pay, pack and go! Easy breezy. I was actually clueless about the itinerary till the very day we arrived at HK airport :P

DAY 1: SIN - HK - MACAU.

We could have flown direct to Macau but we didn't. Coz Da Ge's dear friend was supposed to meet us at the HK airport via another airline. Sadly, she punked us last minute and we couldn't change the route by then.

So, we had to take a ferry from HK to Macau. Damn the choppy 1 hour journey, it made me sea-sick and I was left feeling wobbly for the next couple of days. No kidding.

my da jie can slp anytime, anywhere, without probs.

after 4 hours up in the sky, we've arrived...

at the bus interchange.

tickets to the ferry terminal.

in the bus :)

in the ferry :(

finally reached my hotel! damn shag :}

this is like 1 of the 4 lobbies...?

Yeap! We were doing our check-in at The Venetian's West Lobby. It's currently Macau's most luxurious hotel (featured in CNA recently) and all 3000 of its rooms are suites. We paid close to a whopping S$600 for a night's stay. Very extravagant if you ask me, but what the heck, for the experience lah huh. Or so Da Jie says...

say hello to Suite 13111.

and the friendly host welcomes us.

corridor.

now you see me on the king size canopy-draped bed.

now you don't.

my 36" tv.

the suite is split-level btw...

da ge's 24" tv? lol.

sunken living room.

dining area which we had our breakfast.

work-station with wireless internet access.

utensils we need.

the fully stocked minibar.

the great golden V.

ahh, this is random :)

bathrobes, slippers, iron and ironing board all hidden here.

deluxe marble bathroom, complete with 2 sinks :P

sweet-smelling shower amenities.

aiya, this picture doesn't do the shower area justice.

I had a cup of hot tea while bubble bathing. shiokness.

separate toilet.

there were 2 magnifying mirrors =.=

dressing table.

electronic weighing scale.

hearts mirror.

bored while waiting for them to get ready.

the hotel's "foodcourt" decor.

air-brushed skies?

our 1st decent meal in 12 hours!!

pork chop la mien, xiao long bao, mango pancake, yang zhi gan lu.

banana milkshake and roast duck+suckling pig.

something like that.

1 gazillion times better and nicer than genting's kay.

us.

You know, it was barely 18 degrees out there and worse still, it was drizzling... yet I was in shorts. Ahh! So so chilly but when I suggested to buy a brolly, they said "no need". Oh man, poor sickly me. I didn't wanna change into a new set of clothes coz I packed light, just enough to last as I was planning to buy new ones in HK what.

out shopping!!

mememe.

everywhere you go, you see a casino -.-'

hi auntie, you spoilt my picture.

looks sleazy not?

I'd say yes. haha.

back in 1 of the lobbies :}

eat your hearts out. jay was holding his concert there.

So I'm back, with a new big hole, this time in my pocket. It's quite a wonder, really, where my money disappeared to eventhough I hardly bought anything. I'm happy to be back still, despite my condition worsening over the weekend (no thanks to the chilly weather and lack of sleep) and I'm seriously feeling like a sick cat now.

One thing though, why must you spoil my day? Again and again... and again. Has it always gotta be this way?

p/s: thank you, lup sup beng! for accompanying me to the doctor (sigh! again.) and also for waiting like... 2 hrs for me just now without any complaints. haha. so guilty lah.

I suddenly find myself with 1001 things to cancel out in my to-do list. And my top priority? Visit the doctor AGAIN coz I'm simply not recovering. This is so sweet, given the fact that I have a flight to catch in say, 15 hours? So right now I'm throwing everything aside. I just wanna sit here and wonder how I'm gonna enjoy my holiday. And I got no fucking mood to pack my luggage.

edit:
So with a hole in my heart, I packed. I should be happy, I ought to be. But this sadness envelops me and I dunno how it feels to be blessed anymore. How I wish, those words he said to me were said by you. Bye, world.

A Random Long Entry.

I have so many things to update, so many stories to share and so much to get off my chest.

But there's just too much and I dunno where to start. Okay, first things first... Received a surprise parcel all the way from Aussie. It arrived just in time to cheer me up for all the crapshite I've been going through this month. I may be smiling with you, I may be laughing at your jokes, I may even be happily chatting with you... or so it seems. But deep down I feel this vacuum.

This vacuum which I cannot find words to describe. But I'd save the explanation for another day. So back to my parcel. Miss Vet sent me something which I causally mentioned like... a couple of months back? It's really sweet and really heartwarming to have somebody remember stuff you randomly say, no?

this is it.

it's even ID recorded. wow.

postage costs a whopping $12.25.

So yeah, that's my 2nd accessories holder. Bigger and better than my current. It's pretty in a nice simple way and I really like it. But I haven't had the luxury of time to actually utilize it yet so no pictures on that :( I miss my crazy/bitchy/funny friends. Really do. I may have said it but maybe I haven't emphasized it enough. So here goes... Special thanks to those who lent a listening ear and those who bought me presents. Much appreciated *hugs*

sometime back, with Rek & Eddie @ Tea Garden.

Oh God. Why do I sound so... gloomy and serious? Or is it just me? Hmm. It must be the vacuum. Sigh. Anyway, this sem is so fucked up I'm just glad it's over. And "glad", mind you, is a lil underrated here. You know how people always say that they can feel they've set 1 foot into their coffins? I never used to believe in such stuff. But now I do.

How about the times people tell you God has spoken to them. Like voila! I-hear-God-talking-to-me-do-you? that sorta... reaction. Despite 10 solid years of education in a Christian environment, I never felt I owned a personal relationship with God... but now I do.

Coz during this fateful night just 6 hours to my 1st paper, my body threatened to break apart. I won't be upset if you think this is bullshite (you'll know it when you experience it in future) but really, I thought I was gonna die. Fuck, how could I just die like that? My internal system was sooooo screwed and it didn't help that I was gasping for air and coughing blood out.

Yes, baby. Red, vicious blood. Not one time, not two times and definitely more than three times. And the amount won't stop increasing. In desperation, I started popping all the pills I could get my hands on. It didn't work. So I prayed. With my fingers clasped so tightly any tighter I'd risk breaking them, I prayed.

Then I felt something. Not advocating religion here so I don't wanna go into further details. No, no light shone on me to give me enlightenment. No no no. It's this spiritual thing. I felt my physical state transformed... somehow. And true enough, after 3 hours of pathetic sleep, I felt better. You can argue that it's the medicine that's working its wonders and etc etc. But yeah, I know what I felt and let's not argue about such sensitive stuff.

ANYHOWS, met up with the lup sup bengs again after the last paper. I know I'll confirm + chop + guarantee do very badly this sem but there's nothing worth mopping around anymore. I've tried my best and all I can do is to leave it to the hands of fate. So we had drinks and supper. Or rather, we had drinks and I had supper later on. Super fattening but one of my other friends was telling me, "You'd feel better when your stomach is full." So yeap, I had chunky fries with salsa and tartar dips at like 1-ish am? Man, it felt great.

(Btw I just had scissors cut curry rice for supper just now. The one at Kitchener Road... you know, famous for its curry and ahem, Christopher Lee "road accident". 2 suppers 2 days in a row. I-am-oh-so-fat!!! Plus I nearly puked on the way home. Now I don't feel that great already.)

guess where??

stupid photographer.

must pose till like that not?

as usual, you won't be able to see his face.

lup sup bengs.

hey! what's that near the vase?

it's a notti putty cat :)

we were at Holland's Coffee Beannie.

In case you didn't know, Swensens at HV is now opened 24/7. Perfect for Westies like us who don't wanna travel all the way to Swensens @ York! Basically, they were just watching me chomp down fries after fries and sipping my yummy hot cocoa. Then, I dunno what the hell got into them and they started talking about some Death matters. Eddie almost hypertensioned due to his wild imaginations. Tsk. But I gotta agree it's a serious issue, totally not meant for scaredy chicken shite ppl, which includes me, and possibly you, who's reading this :S

huh? buibui?!?

sinful stuff we shouldn't eat.
