Jumbled up.

HI GUYS, I'M BACK!!!!

Random unnecessary narcissistic photo :D

Checked my Cbox recently and saw this comment:


Which made me feel really bad! Sorry, I just needed some time off to relax after all the stress. Hmm, I pondered for two days over what I should blog about. Then I realized that I really have no motivation to blog right now.

I've got ideas, but no spark that makes me want to put fingers to keyboard. I've lost my blogging juice fml.

Basically, the only thing I can think about at this point is 'O'-Level's. Even my fear over next year's uncertainties have evaporated. To be honest, I can't wait to get studying again after taking last week off. 36 days and counting. That's not a lot! It's crunch time, for REAL now.

Daunting? So.

This is just gonna be a horrid mish-mash of my week.

I've spent a huge portion of it being a slob, watching shows on PPS from 12 to 5 am every morning night. I think the last time I did this was... the December holidays last year? I don't even remember.

It's just extremely comforting to not have to focus on any tasks at hand and be absorbed into an alternate reality. Escapism ftw!

My poisons of choice were Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and 90210.




Smallville WAS on that list, but I realize I'm sick of where that show’s headed. The writers aren’t good at handling the more "serious" storyline that they're running with. It's resulted in bland, one-track episodes with no comic relief!! -_- It's sad cause I've watched Smallville for umpteen years, but now sitting through even 15 minutes is a chore.

So I replaced it with White Collar!

BAHAHHAHA I can't stand how they edited his eyes electric blue!! Matt Bomer is one guy who definitely does not need any Photoshopping. Epic hot :9

I have a thing for FBI/crime solving/investigative shows these days!! Adds to my jadedness lol. I've realized that I have a VERY low tolerance for vapidness! Give me show with some bite! (By this I do NOT mean vampire shows.)

Been out of the house a couple of times! Breathing fresh air and seeing the clouds and all that.

Oh! I went to watch Vampires Suck with Mun on Wednesday. And I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH, HOHOHOHO!!! Is that totally evil or what?? >:D


Until now, I've yet to find another person who liked it too. I think the only vamp I DON'T hate, is Angel ♥

Any comments defending Twilight or scolding me will be deleted. This is MY blog, after all. I don't leave nasty comments on your posts when you blog about how much you love Twilight, so reserve that same courtesy for me.

Warning to all Twi-hards: DO NOT WATCH VAMPIRES SUCK.

You KNOW you’re going to hate it, so wouldn’t it be plain silly to waste a few dollars to torture yourself and then just bitch about it afterwards? Please, save your time.

Had a disgusting sungkai dinner at Swensen's before that. Reminder to self: NEVER EVER order baked rice from Swensen's ever again!!!!!!


I don't know why I keep going back there... 80% of the menu really sucks. If you're lucky, you end up picking something within that sacred 20% (I never seem to T_T). Next time I'm sticking to either the fish & chips or the penne arrabbiata!

I literally had to force the oily, mulchy, gooey, tasteless rice and fish down with my newest favourite concoction: lemon water! No, not lemonade. Lemon WATER. Basically I took the water and squeezed the lemon quarter from Mun's fish and chips into it. Result: refreshing zestiness!

Mandatory camwhoring shot at Swensen's:

Seems that whatever skills I have with Photoshop CS3 still can't overcome the combined forces of bad lighting, blinding flash and shitty cam :(

And Saturday night, was Mun's advanced birthday dinner! I can't believe she's turning 17 tomorrow! Hell, I can't believe I'M 17 T____T

We went to Capers for sungkai All You Can Eat. My God, you should've seen those bottomless pits (aka boys) inhale their food!!! We ordered like what, 30 plates of pasta and 20 pizzas?!?!

Okay, given, there were 17 (ooh! Lucky number 17, I just realized!) of us. I've never seen so much food disappear so fast before in my life! A sight to behold :D

But I’ll save those photos for posting after September 7th ;)

Oh! And something else I did was a Konadicure! Standard issue school holiday requirement ^^ I didn't like it very much at first (I just don't like working with blue. Clue for all you pink haters, you're gonna be happy!), but I think it's growing on me with time...

Stick around to see my nails next week! And I'm starting to think maybe I should start a Konad FAQ or some kind of tutorial... I get so many questions! Really, it's simpler than you think. It only takes practice and patience :)

Am reeeaalllyyyy looking forward to Tradition on Wednesday!!!! Sushi and nyaman juicies and ice cream dessert and camwhoring!! My Traditions are numbered, soon they'll just be a bit of history in my books :(

Letting go is hard to do! Good times were never meant to last.

I've been INCEPTED!!!

Hahaha okay, that sounds so lame, but you get the idea!

My original plan was to watch Despicable Me (killing with cuteness! ^o^), but now I'm glad I chose to watch what is now this year's new MUST SEE MOVIE!

Heh, move over, Avatar and James Cameron! Inception and Chris Nolan are in the HAUS ahem I mean CINEMA!


What can I say? I REALLY liked it. Inception is some pretty sick stuff. It's an intellectual movie that makes you... question reality. As scary as that sounds.

You most absolutely DO NOT wanna miss the first 5 mins though (like I did T_T), NOR take any toilet breaks! The movie accelerates like a bullet train right from go and doesn't stop for even a second until 2 and a half hours later.

It can really make you jip sin i.e. get you wrapped up in it and you truly invest in the whole idea. You BELIEVE it, simply because it's such a well-thought-through concept.

Although what is to believed and what isn't, that's up to you.

So much so that I didn't even feel the 2 and a half hours pass at all! There's constantly so much going on on the screen, so many things to see, so many concepts that will blow you away and bend your mind. It's a viewer's movie. Period.

The action is SUPERB! The suspense is TO DIE FOR! (It's seriously kancheong max at a lot parts, I was on the edge of my seat and clutching my hair/face.) And the mindfuck at the end will make you leave the cinema wanting MORE! (And yes, I do advise that you watch it in a cinema.)

There's a little comic relief here and there to give your head a rest but honestly, I LOVED finally coming across a movie that really made me think and tickled my brain. While still being so entertaining! Haha I'm a nerd, so sue me.

I think it's safe to conclude that, together with Toy Story 3 a few weeks back, so far it's been a fab year at the movies for me! (Despicable Me will be relegated to PPS, sadly. No regrets there though.)

So if you haven't gone to see Inception yet, tell me, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU STILL WAITING FOR???

After coming out of the cinema feeling thoroughly befuddled and mindfucked, I proceeded to Cheezbox with Munibah and Afiq for some diabetic desserts!

I ordered the creme brulee (to satisfy that weird custard craving I had o.O) and it was... strange. I'm not sure if creme brulee's SUPPOSED to taste like that, or maybe I just don't like it very much. It's kinda tasteless except for the caramelized sugar, which was bitter -_- $3.50 for a smaller than palm-size serving.


Munibah had the super mega rich chocolate brownie which she NEVER finishes! But it's mad yums!! $4.80 for a larger than palm-size square.


And honestly, tell me, what's an outing with two vain, made-up girls and a DSLR without some CAMWHORING? ;)

Had to Clone Stamp my skin cause I had 3 massive red pulsating zits with minds of their own that I couldn't 100% conceal. Stupid PMS D=<


My darling of 11 years ♥

HEHEH this pic is actually a bit blurry on the face cause Mun's hand shook (DIY soft focus lol!), so my face is double focused. But when the pic is small, it just makes my eyes appear bigger than usual! xD

F my L, hate taking pics with Mun. Impossible to look anywhere even near pretty next to her :( It's so obvious her huge eyes dominate her face, whereas in my case, my huge nose and huge mouth dominate my face. Typical Chinese curse!!

I think this sums up EXACTLY how every single person who went to watch Inception felt at the end of the movie... Or at least, me.

[SPOILER PIC]

#Inception on Twitpic

I actually exclaimed WHAT THE F***?!?? really loud the moment the screen faded to black at the end. LOL!! Chris Nolan, you're a tease! :P

You've got a friend in me.

I think Monday was my most eventful day in a LONG time! I haven't gone "out" in forever (schedule's been driving me nuts). Finally I got to go out with Rachel, before she went back to Melbourne, and Alisa!

First we had lunch at Countrypatch Cafe with 3 of Rachel's high school friends: Faith, Jelphine and Hui Na (sp?). I was adventurous and ordered BANGERS AND MASH and Milo Dinosaur!!!

T'was sooo good!

Then we went to none other than Empire Hotel and Country Club to watch a movie. It's Brunei's premier 7-star resort hotel.


Empire cinema rocks socks. I so wanna go there more often. Even rented a comfy, wonderful-smelling blankie to cuddle during the movie cause I was cold!

(Pssst, it was my first time going to the Empire cinema = very sakai = lots of camwhoring :P)

Compadres for the day!


Your friendly neighbourhood Anti-Piracy Man!



Fuck. Totally forgot what my mum told me about not wearing pinks/reds D:



Introducing... Alisa's What the ABCDEFG is she doing?! face.


GUESS WHAT???

NO NO!

You have to GUESS!!!

Okay fine, be that way!

I AM NO LONGER A TOY STORY VIRGIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

I WATCHED TOY STORY 3!!! (For that matter, I watched 1 and 2 a few days ago too!)


To infinity... and beyoooond! 
(I was tryinna mimick Buzz's ridiculous hamsap facial expression and failed horribly.)

*No movie spoilers*

I couldn't be more glad. Toy Story is AH-MAY-ZING. Laughing till your stomach hurts one second, and sobbing your eyes out the next!

And yes, I cried during ALL 3 Toy Stories! But the most was during the 3rd one obviously. I looked like dees:

Almost everybody of all ages and genders freaking cried for Toy Story 3, it's that touching. And as a testimony to the amazing waterproof powers of Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara... it didn't run at all!

In a way, I'm actually grateful that I watched all of it now, at the ripe old age of 16. I have a much better capacity to understand, appreciate and remember the movies! Than if I was say... 6.

I think my fave new character is BARBIE!!! (Haha wtf so typical bimbo of me -_- But you have to watch the movie to know why she's likeable!) Made me miss my old Barbies cho cho much :'(

LOTSO HUGGING BEAR, WO PU XI HUAN NIE!!!!!!!1

While everybody else is going cuckoo for Eclipse (I don't give a crap about Twilight and adamantly refuse to watch such drivel), I'm in love with Toy Story! ♥♥♥

Okay, enough about the toys. It was raining T_T So we drove to the main hotel building for a PHOTO-TAKING SESSION!!! Holy kanasai, I've dreamed of camwhoring in Empire for a-fucking-ges!


Damn huge colour-edited photo of my face, hi! Colour editing is ♥

Then we went out into the rain to spin our umbrella, Mary Poppins style!

Shake it like a polaroid picture! 
(Which is actually ironic cause Rachel said you're not supposed to shake polaroids if you want them to develop well... o.O)






A hallway of mirrors - definitely every vain girl's dream come true!


This photo is so unflattering T_T Shows off all the things I always try to hide... you can tell I have a crooked smile and that my face is anything but symmetrical. But I'm posting it cause I think the mirrored effect is cool!

Dunch know how I managed to achieve this "dark room" effect when it wasn't even dark at all!





Then we took the elevator down to the bottom floor, to go take photos in the Baze. But unfortunately, there were people moving furniture around in it, so we settled for using one of the mirrored hallways (they're everywhere!) outside the Baze.



And then begins the string of really weird, random poses. My idea ^^




The wo yau poo poo pose! Looks like Rachel's about to karate kick me in the butt D:


The ouch, my back! pose


Fobby Jap girl pose.


*gasp* We're such bimbos! pose.


Must give sultry look till we die wannabe models pose.


Prima ballerina!


REACH for the sky!



Do you love me? Cause I love you.
