We're Just Girls

Mwahahahaha.

Not an uncommon sound to the ears whenever we're out. Heh. I think we terrorised the people working at a certain HK-style shop in SS2 this evening for two and a half hours straight.

Had to go back to campus today to enquire about fees and some stuff for Australia. It sounds strange, but I'm going to miss campus. I'm going to miss a building, as weird as it is. Chris left for bible camp this morning, and sent me the sweetest goodbye text msg ever because he's only coming back after I leave and made me feel all emo already. Probably, that's why. And it isn't even the 8th of Feb yet. I'm going to miss you, Crispy.

Anyway, I had to go back to campus, and Siokkwan had to go submit her work report in TTDI, so we decided to go together. Hee, I drove. My dad finally loosened up on his driving rules, and now we get to 'speed' around in the Wira. Ish, when I ask him to let me take the other car out? He stared at me like I grew two heads.

It's Mary's first day back at class, poor soul. 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. okay. And classes everyday except Saturdays. Someone should seriously complain about that course. Anyway, back to the point. I went to do my stuff and Siokkwan went fishing on campus, while waiting for Mary to finish class.

Tons of parents were at college, bringing their kids for first day of college. I mean, grow up. It's college, sheesh. My parents didn't even spend the first day of primary school at school with me.

But I digress.

Anyway, it's been awhile since we've properly hung out, actually. I mean, we see each other often, Christmas, New Years, Penang, all that jazz, but not properly for a long time, if you get what I mean. Just sitting down, with nothing else to do for the day, ordering multiple drinks, and talking till the cows come home.

What's more, the whole place was empty except the three of us. We might have scared all the customers away with our hyena-like laughter. *blinks*

But it was good progress for two and a half hours. We managed to discuss two things we really want to do before I leave for Australia - karaoke and mahjong - and plan an entire uniqueWednesday is the most important day of the week, and generate matchmaking possibilities. It was a wedding for a chi mui, come up with the reason why super productive day.

I will miss sessions like these. Hee-ing, and haa-ing till no end.

But you know, every song ends; is that any reason not to enjoy the music? :)

I need to packkkk. But how on earth do you pack eleven months worth of items into ONE measly suitcase? I want to bring my whole cupboard. Hee hee.

I want to post Penang stuff, but multiply damn slow. Geram. Next time, all right?

Hectic.

chi mui Friday, September 09, 2005

It's been what, almost two weeks since I've updated? Gosh. This must mark my longest break, ever. It's been a crazy two weeks. Swamped down with so much work. Especially with worrying about planning the Sunway Ball. I think it's going to be SO MUCH fun, only that ticket sales are kinda worrying. So.. Sioki, Suki, Wei Soon, Jo, K Vin, & Pek Wah, thank you so much for agreeing to come. It's going to be a huge blast. =)

So much has happened in the two weeks that I think I'll let some pictures do some of the talking for me. I mean, sometimes visual aids work better in telling a story. And well, I'm just kinda lazy now. I mean, it's 8:55 in the morning! I'm half awake.

SHOOTING SESSION

We had our Student Council photo taking session for pics to put in our layout for the magazine the previous Tuesday, which was the day before Merdeka, I think. Aaaah. I love taking photos, and thankfully, so does the rest of the Student Council. We're just all extremely camera-friendly people. Lol. Here's a look.

The ECA department - Gloria, Racheal and Charmaine.

Welfare Dpmt - Archana, William and Elena.

The people in the Student Relations division - Chew Ling, Tanzeb and Ranekha.

Here's Ching and other artsy people in the Adv and Promo department, Janet & Alan.

And there I am - the Admin Department - Wenxue, Michelle, Ming, Wilson, me and Lee Lee.

Me and Wenxue clowning around during our photo shoot.

And then it's Ming's and Wilson's turn to clown around.

Michelle, Wenxue and me. Don't we look lovely? Lol.

The group shot outdoors in the park, which took like six or seven shots before it became this picture perfect-like.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

I don't remember what I did on our country's birthday. [ Is it even politically correct to call independence day our country's birthday? I don't think so, but then again, as long as you guys get my meaning, who cares? ] Yeah, I lazed around. Not very patriotic of me exactly. But I do love our country. I mean, we all know there are plenty of shortcomings and situations that definitely do not benefit us, the citizens. But at the end of the day, Malaysia's a beautiful country. The food, the people, the culture, the architechture, the landscape, the lifestyle, the love and respect. Name me a country that does not come with it's imperfections, and I'll give you a hundred bucks. I feel blessed to live in a country like Malaysia. And I'll say it proudly.

DELIRIOUS

The girls came over on Saturday to my place for a little while. As usual, when we get together, shouting, giggling and tons and tons of hysterical laughing takes place. Suki and Mary had a 'catfight' which ensued screaming and slapping, while Sioki and I just enjoyed the show. [ It's not a vicious as it sounds; it's actually really really hilarious. Ask Sioki. ] We were supposed to go out for ice cream after that, but temptation pulled us into the new branch of Delifrance which opened in SS2 not long ago.

Just tummy-rumbling scrumptious.

We ate like gluttons. *shakes head* I can't believe we spent so much money on just tea time. Went to Mary's house after our ultimate pig-out tea time session and talked and talked our time away. She did this lovely collage with all our pictures on it. *beams* It's so pretty. Do one for me??

Mary's bee-yoo-ti-full artwork.

I know the picture's very blur and tiny, but if you look closely enough, on the right, that's a very extremely small and adorable little Paul in Standard 6 from Mary's collage.

We had our girly talk, and then those two brainwashed me into dying my jet-black hair. Eek. So that leads us to...

SHADES OF AUBERGINE

Yeah, later at night I went out with my dear sis-in-law, Evelyn to get a box of dye. We bought *ta-daa* PURPLE dye! Yeah, the purple's not as, erm, purple as it sounds, but I like it anyway. I wanted to highlight it, so Evelyn wrapped the strands of dyed hair in pieces of aluminium foil, like how they do it in the salons. She, having highlighted her hair tons of times, INSISTED that all you need to do is fold up the foil, and it would just stay. Boy, was she wrong. She finished with my hair at about 10:30, so I very SLOWLY tiptoed downstairs at a tortoise-like crawl, making sure that the foil doesn't fall off. Everything was going fine, I made it to the TV room with the foil still intact, switched on the TV and the fan, and positioned my butt slowly on the couch. And then... that was when EVERYTHING fell. Omg. I freaked out. If I got purple dye all over the couch, my mum would never forgive me. So, I held it all up and shouted for Eve to come down. She ran down, helped me fix the situation without dying my mother's peach couch... And we were both left with purple hands. Sheesh. Off we went to the kitchen [note at this point, that my hair was back in place with the foil], to wash our hands...

Then we saw a COCKROACH.

Both of us ran screaming out. And the foil fell all over again.

Yeah, so a word of advice from me? Don't try to highlight your own hair at home. Just go to the bloody salon.

And because my hair's so jet black, you can't really see my purple hair indoors, but only when I'm in the sun. Aaaah, I love it.

SHARITY

Yesterday was MUFY's Sharity Day, and we set up a henna tattoo booth. It's really tiring, both our hands were shaking by the time we were drawing the final tattoos of the day. Surprisingly, so many guys turned up wanting to do a tattoo.

Here's Ching Jian's specially custom-made tattoo. Haha! Can you figure out what it is?

EXQUISITE

And I think that's just beautiful. It's sitting so peacefully on our Sunway Ball backdrop. So maybe there's hope for our cause just yet.

High on Giggles.

chi mui Saturday, June 25, 2005

Last night was a blast. Went to Murni, had dinner, and checked out a few guys loudly. Haha. Went back to Ching's place to hang out and pig around after that. I love hanging out with these crazy girls. ;P

Mary, me and Sioki, all cam-whoring.

Me and Sioki, soooo full from dinner.

Haha, I kinda cut everyone out. Well, what do you expect lar, my phone is first and foremost not a camera. So we got Ching's camera and set it up to timer mode. Yes, I know we're syok sendiri but who cares? As long as we're having fun.

Ching setting up the camera.

Taking pictures with a timer is tough work with Mary around. Quote, "Asking Mary not to laugh is like asking a brinjal not to be purple", unquote. Everytime we set the camera up, and got into poses and pasted smiles on our faces, someone would start snickering [usually Mary], which would trigger us all off again. So by the time our picture was taken, we're all giggling like mad. Yep, so we look REALLY happy in the pictures, or REALLY drunk.
I'll post them up when I get the timer pictures from Ching.

Ching, me and Suki. Ching actually styled Suki's hair, but you can't see it properly with my blur camera.

Mary. The picture says it all.

And you know, EVERYTIME we hang out, one of us will have a little accident. A blooper. An embarassing moment. One of us, let's call her X*, fell off the bed. Omg. That was a classic incident. You could see them trying to grab her to save her, but she just...FELL. Poor dear. Her ankle was swollen. Moral of the story: don't sit so near the edge of the bed. Even if you do, grab on to your friend closest to you to drag her along with you too. Hee hee. That's easy for me to say, cause I was sitting quite a bit away from her. Haha.

*Name has been changed to protect privacy. Wait, to protect pride, more like it.

Our feet, and Ms. X's ankle being wrapped with an ice pack.

Ooh, I like stars. :) Thanks Caryn, I curi-ed this idea from your MSN pic. Fingers crossed, no copyright. :)

I just want to say, I LURRRVEEEE YOU BABES! I know we burn off loads of calories when we laugh. So let's never stop laughing! Next week again, yeah?

It's been quite awhile since I've posted, eh? Since that long picture post, which I got a lot of feedback from. =) It does bring back memories, doesn't it?

Oh well. So much has been going on since that post. I don't know where to start. Been so busy with everything. It's lunch break now, and I'm in the library blogging, cause I know if I don't do it now, I'll never get around to doing it, and my blog will just die off. And I will not let that happen, cause so far, this seems like the only New Year's resolution I've like EVER kept to keeping. So I'll try to make it last. At least till the next New Year rolls around.

So here's what's up :

STRESS LEVEL - oh yes, stress level is way, way, way up. Who wouldn't be with all the damn continuous assessments!? I tell you, being consistent is such a pain in the booty. There's a 5% assessment almost every week, which you can't really afford to screw that badly. Sigh. Econs assignment test this coming Thurs, Maths B on the next day, Accounting the week after, and then a few days later, mid-course exams start. *insert big groan here*

HOMEWORK - My table is piling up with the work I'm supposed to be doing. And the pile is not getting any smaller! Waaaaaah.. I wanna see my table again! My beautiful brown table. It's not been empty for ages.

WAIST LINE - haha. waist line is up, up, up too. You see, we're (Ching, Sioki, Mary, Suki. And me of course.) are planning to have a girls night in/out everyweek. And our last Friday's outing totally revolved round eating! After pan mee for dinner, the five of us polished off god-knows-how-many-litres of La Cremeria Chocolate Hazelnut Tempation ice cream. *slurp* So sinful. So much ice-cream. Goodness. We sugar-rushed after that man. They went out to the verandah of my house and had a slipper-throwing competition. I know. They lost their minds. And I'm just pleased to announce that I didn't take part in the competition. Nah, it's not because I'm more sane. I just didn't wanna ruin my new white Ipanema slippers. =P

NOSTALGIA LEVEL - Nostalgia level is sky high. First Friday night with the girls where we had a laugh fest induced by loads of sugar.. Then Saturday lunch with Mary & John. Everytime I hear John talk about his classmates in school, I feel like going back and doing form 5 all over again. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying college, but school was and is still one of the greatest landmarks of my so-far life. Then at night, finishing off with a mamak sort of 'reunion' at Murni at night with the girls and couple of classmates. So fun. Aside from this weird stalker-looking guy who paced up and down the road 9 or 10 times. Then Ching & Sioki wanted a go at driving a manual car again, so they took Lik Xiong's car around the park for fun. Now that was kinda freaky. =P *grins*

And what's down?

SLEEP - Not enough sleep. Enough said. I'm a grump with not enough sleep. How am I ever going to face Maths B class after this?

EYE SIZE - My eye size is reducing by the hour. How sad is that? There's not enough eye for it to reduce! I don't have big enough eyes for it to reduce. Great. Soon all you'll see is two slits in my tired face. I'll get hired for a part in Sepet pt. 2. =) Hey, actually that wouldn't be too bad after alll, would it?

TV SATISFACTION - Sigh. Not been able to watch my Chinese drama on TV3. It's so funny, even though I'm watching it for the second time. I know, i know. I'm an addict. Sigh. Help me, someone! Oh yeah, sadly, Anthony got voted off American Idol. It's gonna be a Carrie vs. Bo final. It just has to be. I still don't know who I'm rooting for though. And can't believe Rob & Amber didn't win Amazing Race! Bah, humbug. Argh.

LUCK - I always choose the wrong-est computer to sit at in the library. Either the screen is blurry, or it takes damn long to load, or the chair is super duper creaky. And today, the mouse just sucks. Ish.

Oh well, time to go. Maths B class starts in approximately 8 minutes. Till the next time, tata. I need some lurrrrrrve, ppl. Send me some lurrrrrveeeeeeee and hugggggggssssss.... =)
