A brand new decade!

I've no time to do a 2010 wrap-up post, sorry to disappoint :( I'm having an extremely crowded New Year's at my house right now with my whole family, brother-in-law, Ava, my aunt, my cousin, her husband and their two kids.

Just wanted to come and wish you guys...



I think I'm already getting stupider in the year 2011. This morning around 2 am I was chatting with Callistus and I said something along the lines of "Oh you know what, tomorrow's gonna be 1/1/11!!!" then he started laughing and had to point out to me that DUH it was ALREADY 1st January -___-"

I've had an extremely eventful and momentous 2010, most of it documented right here on my blog. May 2011 be good to everybody, especially the people I love.

2011 looks like it's gonna be a very interesting year for me!

Friendly reminders.

I keep seeing these little things that remind me of my friends back in Brunei. Ok ya this is an emo post.

Charlene, a miniature St Basil's Cathedral music box.

Alisa, a t-shirt with checkered sneakers. Would've loved to buy this for you as a present.

Jia Yee, a leopard-print sleeping eye mask, which I bought for myself.

Snow ice I had in Singapore which reminded me of my last outing with Mun, Effie and Muiz.

Maria, a honeydew sago dessert I had at a restaurant in Singapore.

Callistus, a trip to Geylang which reminded me of his Ah-Kua-trying-to-pick-him-up story. Also kinda reminded me of Melvin la lol! Turns out he was in Singapore the same time as I was!

And this, this reminded me of Mr Chang! He'd love the Mathematics section of the Singapore Science Centre.

To the friends that I haven't talked to or caught up with in a while, even if you weren't mentioned here, know that I think of all of you and I miss each and everyone of you ♥ There's always going to be a special place in my heart for the people I left behind in Brunei.

And, I also see people that remind me of memories I'd rather keep buried...

Prom 2010: Memories to last a lifetime!

Everybody's in the Christmas/New Year mood and here I am making you read about Prom. Tons of photos so just bear with me if it takes half an hour to load *puppy eyes*

This post is 1 month late, but when I look through all the photos that were taken on Prom night, I still get a warm, wonderful feeling. Prom really was the best night of my life to date.

Everybody looked so beautiful and handsome, the Polo Club venue was absolutely gorgeous, the RBC Catering food was good... it was everything we'd ever dreamed of.

I was actually so blown away when I arrived "fashionably late" with Shar, Susan and Sandy (we called her car the S-Mobile!) and walked through the doors to the Royal Berkshire Hall lobby. Everybody looked so good! It was like walking out of reality and into a glossy fantasy.

Welcome to the Royal Berkshire Hall.


Welcome to The Last Waltz! (The name was Jia Yee's idea :D)

We were seated at Table Number 1! (which for some reason no one else wanted to sit at) If you're a regular enough reader (or looker), you'd have already seen the one Prom photo of me I posted so you should be able to know which one's me! Else I'd be offended :( Okay whatever, from left-right, Charlene, Lilian, Maria and me.

Hsien Ying was the epitome of body confidence and really rocked her little black dress that night! The fake shark's fin soup (it's actually corn) she's ladling was really yummy, I had 2 bowls!

Jan the gentle janitor and his date, Dalvina! Jan was so gentlemanly that night, I feel like renaming him Jan the Gentleman!

The pink princessy satin bow that Maria's mama sewed for me! Scooping  food mmm.

Murder against a beautiful backdrop.

Didn't manage to take even a single photo with Alisa that night (T_T) so I'll just put up this one of her in blue, Mandy in pink and Jia Yee in red. Alisa looked soooo elegant, I was in awe! I'd never seen her all made up before.

Kind of felt bad for making Lemon Puffs look so short next to me in my 4 inch heels. He looks a bit tortured D:

Me and Vanesa who looked (and posed) like a STAR!

The blinged-up leopard print lipgloss that I made for Jia Yee as her birthday present! Nice not?? The original tube was actually really plain-looking from Elianto.

The crowning of the King and Queen! I voted for them eheheh.

The Prom King and Prom Queen having their first dance.

Throwing our hands up in the air on the dancefloor!! I danced like a maniac during Club Can't Handle Me and we even had a crazy dance train! That was the only fun song D:

Photobombing Maria and Aaron Chong's lovebirds pic!

Another (unintentional this time) photobomb. "By the powers vested in me, I pronounce you wife and 2 husbands!" Ok ok I kid. I was actually trying to stop Kelvin (photographer) from pressing the shutter so I could take a better photo :P

Aaron Chong, me, Kelvin Foong and Weei Sing. Went to hug Aaron Chong and Weei Sing (they hugged me back!! Other times, they normally just stand there like awkward dumb posts when you hug them -_-) after the dinner was over and I nearly cried wtf.

Me and my date, the Sexy Beast! HAHAH no.

Me and Jia Yee the red-hot Salsa dancer!

Hate doing kissing poses cause my mouth always looks like shit but I still do it anyway! I succumb to peer pressure LOL.

Me and Mun <3

Me and Dimply Lily who was a true-blue vision!

Me and my real date. HAHAH no. Again.

Doing some ridiculous showing-off-shoes pose where I nearly fell down afterwards. Bought these shoes really last minute at Summit Shoes the night before prom! Love em cause they're comfy and glam and make me super tall. I love being tall!! *crickets*

Love this photo of Lilian that I took. The background is GORJUZ! *self praise* *thick skin* And so is Lily of course!!
Me and Jesnie, who won Best Dressed!! Though I voted for someone else, I really think she looks like an angel in her dress, so ethereal!

Really love this photo of Lilian, me, Vanesa and Sharlyn. Shar looked like a hot Bond girl that night in her super-short and body-hugging LBD and 5 inch platform stilettos!
Me and the Prom Queen, Shi Yin! Her special head accessories really made her stand out in the crowd that night!

A pair of jakuns who are both very proud of their jakunism! :D

Last photo with Mun before she went home.

Maria being a men's ladeh! From left to right, Darren Cheng, Weei Sing, another Darren, Aaron Chong and Jeremy.

Thought Hong Shien (on my right) looked stunning that night! She wore a wig cause her actual hair is very short and just check out her hot legs *phewwit*

Hong Shien, Maria, Hsien Ying, Sherlyn and me.
Aaron Chong in his smart argyle sweater vest! Seems very formal when I refer to some of my guy friends by their full names but it's totally not! That's just the what I normally call them, even when I'm talking to them.

Me, Jia Yee and the smokin' hot Mei Thing!

Introducing Sze Khai! Who looked so leng zai that everybody wanted a piece of him and thus he became our man-slave! P.S. he's also Lilian's husband. LOL JK. But doesn't this look like a wedding photo?? But wait, who's hand is that grabbing Khai's left arm...?

Eeep! Could it be... his second wife?! :O

I look like their China mistress fml.
Jia Yee's a hiao poh with a cheeky smile!

Lilian was so infuriated at her cheating husband that she went to fool around with...
 Melvin Kong!! *gasp* Just look at where he's got his hand! + Hamsup face LOL. Scandalous!! (Btw, Melvin wasn't actually doing anything inappropriate here, it was just the photo angle.)

Make way for the bride and groom!! *plays organ music*
JK! Maria's sneaking a photo with her best friend and Alisa's date Nikki, our Mr Tall.

Lily and her sexy bright blue heels!

Me and Jan the Gentleman!

Me and Boon Ching.

Happy that Teck Tzu smiled in his photo with me!! I saw from the other photos he took that he's a VERY reluctant smiler. And YES, this is Teck Tzu "smiling" if you can tell.

The BOOBIES shot! *wiggles eyebrows*

Melvin Kong looks like he's waiting to take the three lovely ladies home, rawr~!

Pretty photo of me and Jia Yee under a grand chandelier to end the night.

After Prom was over, me, Maria, Lilian and Jia Yee all went over to Jia Yee's house for a birthday sleepover! We spent HOURS camwhoring in Jia Yee's living room, after all "We're only young once" so might as well take as many photos as we can!!

Will only post a few here though cause I'm shy. LOL.


The birthday girl at the stroke of midnight!





Simple prom favours in the form of colourful cross-stitch from the Student Council!




Carrying out my new favourite pasttime, photobombing!! Pls check out my ^O^ face XD

Fobby face + attempt to show off prom nails.










I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine~... Ahem NOT! VOGUE only please!


A so-called "artistic" shot of Lilian taken by me!! *proud*

Maria oh-so-FIERCE on the workout machine showing you the way to a sexayy prom body!





She's bringing sexy back~


Ice Queen Maria and her little minions!



And now, here comes the UNGLAMNESS!! Please brace yourselves. You've been warned. Girls usually do not look good at 4 am after a full night of partying when all the makeup has come off. Especially me T_T You'll see why...

Are you ready for it??
.
.
.
.
.
Somehow I don't think you are...
.
.
.
.
.
ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANNA SEE THIS?!???!?
.
.
.
.
.
Okay, you asked for it. Don't say I never tell.
.
.
.
.
.
Get ready to laugh. Because you will. Even I laugh like hell when I look at this photo. I won't be insulted, just don't be mean. Put down your drink cup and swallow your food first.

TADDAAAA!!!
Half side of my face with makeup and the other half WITHOUT. Left side: pimples, check. Uneven skintone, check. Swollen monolid eyes, check. No visible eyelashes, check. Extra pale are-you-ill? lips, check.

BUT I don't mind showing you cause I think it's rather good entertainment, no? Just shows I really piled on a ton of dramatic makeup that night!

Err, stopped laughing yet? I think my eyes are the most shocking. I wore black gel eyeliner over my entire eyelid and 2 pairs of false eyelashes (one on top of the other), brown pencil eyeliner on the bottom lid and shimmery gold eyeshadow on my tear ducts (inner corners). The 2x false eyelashes gave me parallel double eyelids!

Jia Yee camwhoring with her Freshlook Illuminate contact lenses. I wore em too! For an added dolly touch.

This is Jia Yee's half make-up face! Lucky for her it's less shocking cause her makeup wasn't as dramatic.

And Maria's half eye-makeup face. What difference?!


Check out our prom make-up before and after's!

Jia Yee


Maria

Didn't actually take a bare-face photo of Mar so I Photoshopped her right eye to become her right eye from one of her half-face pics.

Lilian


And me!
I had planned for a long time to go in a "vintage" look (cause of my entirely lace dress which sadly didn't photograph well in flash T_T), but somehow on Prom day itself after I did my hair and makeup and put on my dress, I ended up looking quite hime-gyaru (it's a Japanese fashion style, Google it). My eyes looked MASSIVE?! Considering they were really tiny and swollen and recovering from a nasty allergic reaction from a few days prior.

Yes this is the face I have to live with. Haiz. Fantasy over. Only thing that is the same is... my eyebrows.  Or I think maybe they became darker wth?!

After a lot of drama over glowing objects and scary red lights in Jia Yee's bedroom and a shit ton of laughing, we finally fell asleep like babies. Only woke up past noon the next day!

Our original plan was to go out and watch a movie together but we were all so tired and lazy, so we stayed at home like couch potatoes and feasted on pizza, chick-flicks and birthday cakes the whole day!

More unglam photos coming up...

Jia Yee's 1st birthday cake during lunchtime!

Jia Yee's 2nd birthday cake after dinner! Me, Jia Yee, Maria, Lilian and Jia Yee's sister Mirabel. (Proof that we nuah-ed at home all day long: everyone's still wearing the same clothes as during lunchtime! Except me cause I purposely rushed to change at dinnertime cause I felt obscene in my nightgown D:)

Had alcohol for the first time that day!! Okay it was just a puny tiny drop of vodka, not even enough to taste. I'm not a drinker and doubt I'll ever be anyway 0=) Nothing against drinkers, I just can't stand the smell of alcohol.

S*x on the Beach cocktails for everybody! :P

Cheers!!



(All photos taken belong to Jia Yee and Lilian.)
