The manicurists there all remember me and they are all so friendly and so nice. So sweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus their french manicure is the best that i've ever seen.

I finished writing this post.. with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;cah-rerr&lt;/span&gt; and everything. Then the freaking system makes a &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;booboo&lt;/span&gt; and everything's gone. Mahai.. must rearrange pictures again and all. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*breathes in breathes out*&lt;/span&gt;. If this post gets a bit boring, too bad la. I damned P.O. and malas already. Let's start again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);font-size:180%;" &gt;The art of steamboat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've mastered it to the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;highest&lt;/span&gt; degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love steamboat.. can't live without steamboat. Life has &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;no meaning&lt;/span&gt; without steamboat. There.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of you regular readers would remember that time when i brought &lt;a href="http://rakshademon.blogspot.com"&gt;Elaine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://triplejeng.blog-city.com"&gt;Ryn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://blah.ohjon.com"&gt;Jon&lt;/a&gt; and some others to this steamboat place. We had a blast.. and there was another time when i brought &lt;a href="http://ramblings_of_a_soul.blogspot.com"&gt;Nicole&lt;/a&gt; and E-in. They loved it of course.. I mean, who wouldn't? Steamboat is &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;abso-fcuking-lutely DEE-LEE-CIOUS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best steamboat in the world can be found in &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Bandar Menjalara, Kepong&lt;/span&gt;.. which is otherwise known as the&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt; "steamboat haven"&lt;/span&gt;. Why? Cos in that one shoplot area alone can one find about 6 or 7 (or is there more?) steamboat restaurants. If you want steamboat, you &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HAVE &lt;/span&gt;to go there. The best restaurant, personally recommended, would be the one called &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;Pulau Ketam Restaurant&lt;/span&gt;. Ask &lt;a href="http://crumbielife.blogspot.com"&gt;Karis&lt;/a&gt; and Ling, they'd totally agree. I think they have a branch in Cheras too.. not too sure. Oh yeah.. the bbq chicken wing at the stall opposite is also &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;to-die-for&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too tired to remember everything i typed earlier. Just look at the pictures..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;DROOL!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 342px; height: 257px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0260.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The uh.. "boat" they steam the food in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 342px; height: 256px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0258.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The variety plate filled to the brim with a gazillion types of fishballs, meatballs, seafood, vege, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fuu chok&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tau pok &lt;/span&gt;and lalala.. a whole lot of other delicious stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 342px; height: 255px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0252.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; yee mee&lt;/span&gt; and my fav &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;bee hoon w&lt;/span&gt;hich i always save for last. I mean, i don't get it.. Why do some people insist on throwing in the noodles with the other stuff? Save the best for last, when the soup is at its tastiest, i say. Oh, and an egg for each person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 344px; height: 258px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0261.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 344px; height: 257px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0294.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;MatthewWon'tShuddup&lt;/span&gt; is&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt; idiotic, annoying and damn noisy&lt;/span&gt;. He just won't shut up and he annoys the rest of us to the maximum. He knows it and he loves it. That's the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;saddest&lt;/span&gt; part. Haha.. If any of you ever bump into this guy here, please do refrain from saying "Eh!" because trust me, my dear friend here will go "B!". He is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THAT&lt;/span&gt; silly.. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*sighs*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eh, i look kinda round here.

Though if i could, i'd &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;jump into my bikini &lt;/span&gt;and get a darker tan here in a KL condo pool. But of course, there would be the extremely hot sun, the lack of UV protection in the skies AND the annoying wolf-whistles from the Bangladeshi workers. No fcuking way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 342px; height: 256px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0272.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);"&gt;GwenWithTheTan&lt;/span&gt;: "See?

There's one with holes, for scooping up food.. and one without the holes, for the soup. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;(why do i realise that i'm getting crappier by the day? Posting pictures don't require as much brains as writing a long, wordy entry. There goes my brains.

So i took Air Asia lah.. which was my first time actually. My other times were international flights to Australia and Japan so..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hopped onto the plane and started searching high and low for my seat number. o_O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of you should know that Air Asia does NOT give out seat numbers. So &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;JAKUN&lt;/span&gt; right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then i was so hungry that when the stewardess came around passing out snacks, i ordered lah.

She graciously invited me to stay at her place instead of the hotel. I couldn't contact her you see.. 'cos my phone was stolen and i lost all my numbers.. but &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;Ryn&lt;/span&gt; and i managed to track her down in KK through a friend. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 288px; height: 383px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0087.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nita and i.. at the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"&gt;Upperstar Cafe&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 383px; height: 287px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0086.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still being vain.. and yes, people were staring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 290px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0085.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryn decides to join in the fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Upperstar we hopped over to Hyatt to chill at a pub there. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"&gt;Shanannigans&lt;/span&gt; i think. How the hell do you spell &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sher-neh-ni-gens&lt;/span&gt; eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KK is filled with Korean tourists. Like FILLED with them. They are one hell of a funny race, man.. you see them at the beach, wearing their&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt; life jackets and snorkels&lt;/span&gt;.. floating around.. while trying to dive underwater. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Diving with life jackets?&lt;/span&gt; Incredulous! At the pub, there were 6 Korean middle-aged women, say around 40 years old, dancing "provocatively" to the RnB music. It was &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;horrible&lt;/span&gt;. They took a group picture and one held up her &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;third finger&lt;/span&gt; while another one did the ever-kawaii&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt; 'peace' sign&lt;/span&gt;. Cripes! When one of their favourite songs came on, one Korean lady started literally &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;HUMPING a guy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with her legs wrapped around his waist, screaming and whooping at the top of her lungs. Needless to say, we were horrified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;Day 2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 2nd day, we visited &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"&gt;Mamutik Island&lt;/span&gt;. If i had it my way, i would've made the itinery for all 3 days: beach, beach, beach. But ah well..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 367px; height: 276px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0113.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the boat, en route to the island..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 366px; height: 274px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/IMG_0119.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Nita's tan.

Not THAT siren okay? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*smacks forehead with hand*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following is an edited conversation with &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" href="http://kan53r.smackmy.com/"&gt;[k]&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt; : Siren..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt;  : Not the ambulance siren, ok?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt; : In ancient literature, siren brought the same meaning as&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);"&gt; sex symbol&lt;/span&gt;. The ones that promised sexual paradise to the shipwrecked sailors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt; : &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*pretty darn confused by now*&lt;/span&gt; But but but.. aren't Sirens supposed to be the ones &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);"&gt;singing&lt;/span&gt; the sailors to shipwreck? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(see description below)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt; : Please lah!

Just the singing lah..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k] &lt;/span&gt;: You think sailors would jump out of the boats for women who merely sang?

Lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt; : No lah.. the sailors wore earplugs &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(as if back then got earplugs)&lt;/span&gt; to keep the singing out. I never heard of them wearing blindfolds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt; : The voice attracts, yes.. but the main reason is still boobs and butt. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);"&gt;It's all about sex.&lt;/span&gt; Sirens. The whole word Siren is synonimous with sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt; : Ok, stop already..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt; : &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*still very semangatly explaining*&lt;/span&gt; Sailors died because they were lured to their doom by singing women who were sexy as hell. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*sounds like a compliment right? Then he continues*&lt;/span&gt; Because the Siren has no other poe except her sensuality. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; *Great. Now he makes me sound like a bimbo* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A note to &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;[k]&lt;/span&gt;: Sirens ARE half-bird, half-women lar.. Don't confuse me, dammit. Where got harpies.. Harpies harpies all i dunno.. but i DO know that Sirens are half-birdies. OK? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*damn, that sure sounds wrong*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Extracted from the net:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Siren (mythology)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Greek mythology, a sea nymph, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;half woman and half bird&lt;/span&gt;, who lured sailors to shipwreck along rocky coasts with her &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;irresistable singing&lt;/span&gt;, before devouring them. Odysseus, on the advice of the enchantress Circe, tied himself to the mast of his ship in order to hear the sirens safely, and plugged his crew’s ears with wax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;© Research Machines plc 2005.

May it be hopes for world peace, hopes for unrequited love, hopes for a miracle or just simply hopes for a better tomorrow. We all have hopes. I couldn't help but ask myself, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;why do we hope?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite having been through hundreds, thousands of similar heartbreaking experiences, we never seem to learn that life does not, in fact &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;almost never&lt;/span&gt;, work out they way we want it to. Or so to speak, the way we hope it would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will we ever learn that hope is the silent enemy.. that hope is in the end, the one thing that always gets us hurt. No matter how hard we try, life will always seem to find its own way to disappoint us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wouldn't life be a whole lot better if we learnt to live without hope? Without hope, there wouldn't be disappointment. Without disappointment, there wouldn't be broken hearts or wasted tears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Is it really worth it?&lt;/span&gt; The pain we put ourselves through only to learn that life has other plans for us? That no matter how much you hope, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;some things just can't be changed&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will we ever open our eyes to see that hope is the poison we feed our souls?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-112015530488422435?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/112015530488422435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=112015530488422435' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/112015530488422435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/112015530488422435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/07/hope-for-better-or-for-worse.html' title='Hope: for better or for worse?'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-112006064937028367</id><published>2005-06-29T23:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-29T23:57:29.376+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The land of 'lala'ness</title><content type='html'>Venue: Starbucks, Sunway Pyramid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time: 10:30pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scenario:&lt;br /&gt;15 noisy, irritating &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51); font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah Lians and Ah Bengs &lt;/span&gt;singing a Birthday song for their beloved &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah Beng&lt;/span&gt; friend. Very loudly. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;Clapping clapping hand somemore&lt;/span&gt;. Problem is.. they're not high school kids anymore. More than half of them were in their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah Beng&lt;/span&gt; office garb, standing proudly with their &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bad bad &lt;/span&gt;haircuts, loudly cussing in chinese. I'm not against birthdays.. don't get me wrong. But &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HELLO&lt;/span&gt;.. you don't &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;OWN&lt;/span&gt; the damn place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I almost snapped when the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah Lians&lt;/span&gt; started squealing and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hiau&lt;/span&gt;-ly ran around the place &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;smeared icing and cream all over the guys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

I'm sorry lah.. but i believe &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;jinjang&lt;/span&gt; (not the place) people tend to have mentalities that mature about 10 times slower than an average educated person's. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;They &lt;/span&gt;*points a finger at the group* have just proved my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tolong&lt;/span&gt; lah.

Oh, and can someone please tell me how to pronounce &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Schwarzkopf"&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always wanted full, big, sexy hair.

This would  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;also &lt;/span&gt;mean that i've wasted hundreds &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(or maybe thousands)&lt;/span&gt; of ringgits trying (in vain, mind you)&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to  turn my few  s t r a y  strands into a mop of &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;messy, out-of-bed, sexed-up, glorious looking hair&lt;/span&gt;. Never gonna work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fyi, when i wake up.. my hair's always matted at the back, the ends look stringy and i'd have 3 or 4 different partings instead of just 1. Unlike the cast of Sex and the City, who wake up looking like &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;pure sex kittens&lt;/span&gt;, i wake up looking like a cat who's been in and out of a car wash, clawed its way through a typhoon and ended up sleeping in some random DBKL &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tong sampah&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By mid-noon, after strenous washing, conditioning, brushing, blowing and etc etc etc.. i'd probably end up looking like her. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*points below*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 334px; height: 250px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/wallpaper43.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that blowing and still it ends up &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;smack-flat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on my head. &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;Damn sad&lt;/span&gt;.

Stuck one on my forehead and put the rest in the fridge. I went to sleep and he gatal-gatal took one out and put it on HIS forehead. He woke me up to tell me it's too cold for him so he gave it to me. There i was.. with two fever cool patches. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Eh hehe.. look at the picture of the raccoon.

It was a hot hot sunny sunny afternoon when &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Sue-the-Moo&lt;/span&gt; and i decided to drive down to Ampang to look for &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;MiniLini&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout006.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, it was so &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;fcuking jam&lt;/span&gt;. 5 o'clock- jam. 3 o'clock also jam. So what time can we actually go out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 399px; height: 299px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout010.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank god it wasn't me driving, so what does a bored person do in the midst of a KL traffic jam? Take photos lar..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 401px; height: 300px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout001.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very the miang. Yes i know.. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 399px; height: 298px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout016.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then i started getting &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;reeeeall &lt;/span&gt;bored of the jam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 399px; height: 298px; color: rgb(255, 204, 51);" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout011.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;Sue&lt;/span&gt; got so stressed that she had to smoke. Or i guess, that could have just been an excuse to whip out another stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 398px; height: 298px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout021.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even after we got &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;MiniLini &lt;/span&gt;from her house, it was jammed all the way to Great Eastern Mall. She got quite the geram also..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout007.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it so damned jam? WHY WHY WHY???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 397px; height: 296px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout017.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We eventually got to Great Eastern Mall where we met up with &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Adriano&lt;/span&gt;. The monkey brought &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Starbucks&lt;/span&gt; coffee into &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Strudels.&lt;/span&gt; No respect punya budak!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 398px; height: 298px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout028.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We brought books to read.. or at least &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Sue&lt;/span&gt; and i both brought books. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Lini&lt;/span&gt; stuck to pictures, hence the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Glamour. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 396px; height: 296px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout031.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was trying to read man.. Don't freaking take a picture of me when i'm having my intellectual moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 280px; height: 372px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ampangdayout035.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha.. that's my tongue. And &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Sue's&lt;/span&gt; hair.. I was aiming for the cheeks btw..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that every sentence is a one-liner. Chill la.. I can't write essays all the time you know.. This shiet is pretty tiring. Like i said in the post earlier. I am on a &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;baaaaad hangover&lt;/span&gt;. My brain's malfunctioning.. my fingers aren't even synchronized with my thoughts. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Bleargh..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was seemingly an innocent evening outing turned into a &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;disastrous night of drinking&lt;/span&gt; when &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Lini&lt;/span&gt; invited us to a friend's &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;farewell party&lt;/span&gt;. Apparently this guy has been to Melbourne and back like a million times.. but everytime he steps off or on a plane, they just use it as an excuse to open more bottles. Geez.. Why bother with the excuses anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we had dinner at the Royal Selangor Club. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Japanese food&lt;/span&gt;.. order all you want okay? Yum!! Had &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;sukiyaki&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;california roles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and and and.. oh yum!! They ate pretty fast though.. i guess everyone just couldn't wait to start the party. The girls and i were still finishing our food when we realised that the rest of the party were missing. We found them where? On the lower floor near the field, drinking out of bottles of Black Labels. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Tak sabar-sabar man &lt;/span&gt;this people..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow we managed to get off our asses and headed over to &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;Modesto's Bangsar&lt;/span&gt;. By then, i was &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;sloshed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. People who didn't know each other became brothers and best friends over the alcohol. Many &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;"i-love-yous"&lt;/span&gt; were exchanged. Everyone was hugging everyone. There you go.. a typical night out drinking. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Sanjay&lt;/span&gt; (boy who's leaving) specially bought me a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Bloody Mary&lt;/span&gt;.

You would be amazed by the shit i come up with when i'm high man.. When Modesto's was closing, i finally thought "yay.. bed". Right. So i thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got into the car and found myself in Bukit Antarabangsa at &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Sanjay&lt;/span&gt;'s place. And i thought i was going home! There we were 6 or 7 cars (i couldn't bloody well count at that point right?) outside his HUGE mansion waiting to drink again. We drove past his &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;25 human-eating dogs &lt;/span&gt;and walked up 4 flights to the private bar where they opened another few bottles. Just looking at the bottles made me wanna throw up all over again, so being smart.. i just kept &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;pretending i was still high&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;even though i was pretty sober by then. I walked around like a drunkard, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;kept losing my shoes&lt;/span&gt;, changed the songs every few seconds and kept dancing around like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, i managed to avoid having to drink again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what? I think this is it. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Enough of drinking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Seriously.. too much to handle. In the end, who drove home? Yeah. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;ME.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111936692378585221?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111936692378585221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111936692378585221' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111936692378585221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111936692378585221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/06/pissing-alcohol-pt-2.html' title='Pissing Alcohol Pt. 2'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111935532559585967</id><published>2005-06-21T19:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-22T15:31:25.593+08:00</updated><title type='text'>If I were..</title><content type='html'>If I were a color, I'd be hot bloody ruby red, because I am passionate, aggressive and fiery..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were a car, I'd be a new driver's 2 year old car, because I'd have dents and bruises from mistakes that were made and accidents gone wrong, but i'd be strong enough to know that i can still go a long way..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were a number, I'd be 1, because i'll be the first number every young child will learn.

Unfortunately, me and posse suffered an &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;instatiable hunger&lt;/span&gt; for road side food, a tremendous spiritual force urged us to think of the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Holy Food Haven&lt;/span&gt; in the heart of KL. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tralala&lt;/span&gt;. Despite the meagre amount of direction provided by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MiniLini&lt;/span&gt;'s BF, we managed to find our way there. A feat to which we celebrated in style over a plate of Yee Mee and Pan Mee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took the liberty of pointing out &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sue-The-Moo&lt;/span&gt;'s uncanny taste in music. All three of us hovered over the VCD stall, there were generous displays of the latest CD's on one side and a pile of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;rejected, dejected and ejected&lt;/span&gt; ones. Guess which side was she on. In her hands laid Il Divo, Josh Groban(fighting urge to excurgigate), Ray Charles and some dead singer whom I'm not obliged to remember. Well, we can't have that happening now can we? Not that i'm against these singers, but this woman lives on these slow slow stuff alone. How can? We made her buy some contemporary cds and before you know it, we paid for our purchases and her with a better selection in hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geniuses we are not, because whilst we remembered to ask for directions on how to get there, we neglected the question on &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;how to get home&lt;/span&gt;. Anyway, tripping up and down the highway, making all the wrong turns imaginable, by the grace of the divine we managed to trample upon the road leading back to Ampang. Tada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway, PS is done. Tis time for supper! People should make it a point to make supper a compulsory meal. I had the infamous &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;burger sepah&lt;/span&gt; and Sue-The-Moo had two &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;cans of beer&lt;/span&gt;. Hehe. There we were, three of us plopped in front of MiniLini's Mac watching Sex In The City. A night well spent, I say :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh! Before I forget, I'd like to correct the common misconception that all &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;cops are corrupt&lt;/span&gt;. Last night, on our way back to Subang, our car got waived down at the road block. At this point, everyone would be doing checklists on the possible violations- seatbelts? Check. Tinting? Not that dark also. Alcohol breath? Shudder.. But as it turns out, we were doing a 104KM/h on an 80KM/h highway. Wind down windows please.. does the 'check the license' thingy and tells us the fine will cost us 300 bucks. He then asks if we're students and if we could afford the summon. Well, generally one would assume that he's asking for a bribe, right? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rasuah&lt;/span&gt; wat.. they're famous for that. I was put to shame when he just smiled and said "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kalau student, cakap saja sorry, i bagi lepas&lt;/span&gt;". In english, that would mean "if you're a student, just say sorry and i'll let you go." WHOAH! That's a first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So maybe there is hope after all in this corrupt world of ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;editor's note: i didn't write that, guys. she did. *points finger at sue-the-moo*. my england not so powderful one.. tralalalala..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111925430393431521?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111925430393431521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111925430393431521' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111925430393431521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111925430393431521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/06/petaling-street-12.html' title='Petaling Street &amp; 1/2'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111920720563998385</id><published>2005-06-20T02:47:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-21T14:48:19.256+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ready .

The past week however has been crazy. I blame it all on &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Sue-the-Moo&lt;/span&gt;. It all started when a friend gave me a bottle of &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Dewars&lt;/span&gt;. I asked him "why?".. he said, "just for fcuks". Okay.. Then it was the &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Black Label&lt;/span&gt; Sue-the-Moo had to buy for the barbeque. Then she brought the bottle of &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;red wine&lt;/span&gt;. Which made me go buy my own &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;white wine&lt;/span&gt;. My house is filled with bottles of liquor. One month ago.. all you'd find here are soft drinks and cans of tomato juice. (I can hear some people go "eww!")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every single night of last week ended up with me &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;pissing alcohol&lt;/span&gt;. *faints*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thursday, 16th June&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The girls and i went for &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Ghetto Heaven on Thursday&lt;/span&gt; to meet up wit &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Kash&lt;/span&gt; who's back from Perth for the hols. We were late.. as usual. So we had to pay for cover. Imagine that. Girls having to pay for cover on Ladies' Night. What's with the time limit anyway? They should know that &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;girls have to take their time to look good right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well anyway, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;MiniLini&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Sue-the-Moo&lt;/span&gt; didn't want to pay the 30 bucks for cover. Apparently it was way too expensive and off their budget. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Broke and poor &lt;/span&gt;mah.. what to do right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ended up &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;buying a bottle of Black Label&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*sighs in exasperation*&lt;/span&gt; Didn't they just say that they were tight on cash? I wasn't complaining though. Haha.. I guess we people find any excuse possible to buy bottles. Oh well.. Money well spent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 430px; height: 322px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto019.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 433px; height: 325px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto022.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture B.

Welcome to the Photo-slut club, Sue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 317px; height: 423px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto002.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT? I'm not vain.. i just wasn't driving.. and i was bored.. so... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*trails off*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what you're thinking. Where's the pic of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Kash&lt;/span&gt;? Ahh.. i was too lazy to bring the cam into the club so.. no picture loh. Hehe. Smart hor? Zouk was &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;PACKED to the max&lt;/span&gt;. THAT i didn't like. Try dancing on the podium and having &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;bitches who can't dance&lt;/span&gt; pushing you off with their huge-ass umm.. asses. Iyerr.. not fun. It was crazy. Ran into so many Limkokwing students. Walking to the restroom was like &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;squeezing your way through a wild stampede of elephants&lt;/span&gt;. Towards the second-half of the night, the music went from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pretty-good &lt;/span&gt;to&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; awfully-outdated&lt;/span&gt;. Mr. DJ ran out of songs i guess.. and that's when i started &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;yawning&lt;/span&gt;. Wished i was in some chill-out bar instead. But i guess it's the company that counts. The girls were great fun so that made up for everything. Try having a drunk &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;MiniLini &lt;/span&gt;telling you repeatedly that she loves you. And then she starts kissing you, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;smearing her lipgloss all over your cheeks&lt;/span&gt;. Fun right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 432px; height: 323px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto024.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The after-party. See what i mean by Sue becoming a photo-slut too?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 430px; height: 324px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto023.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me a tad red and tipsy..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 429px; height: 321px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto025.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was supposed to be a picture of me la.. but as you can see.. Sue-the-Slut just HAD to be in it somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 293px; height: 391px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto029copy.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one major classic photo la.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 431px; height: 323px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/ghetto032.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boys whom we met up with..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The night ended deliciously though. The boys and their huge huge gang of friends brought us to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Jalan Alor&lt;/span&gt; for some nasty BBQ chicken wings, Lala, Hokkien Mee and Fried Rice. Scrumptious! I swear to God.. it beats cold mamak food anytime. I went home &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;full, happy and contented&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Friday, 17th June&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;Sue-the-Moo &lt;/span&gt;and i decided to pay &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;MiniLini&lt;/span&gt; a visit in Ampang. Dunno why.. this week damn semangat to drive around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity007.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sue and I in Lini's room. She has a french window dammit.. Lucky girl.. :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had dinner at &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Suzi's&lt;/span&gt; in Ampang. It's just a mamak stall and a western food stall side by side but it's a pretty famous place i'd say. Awesome tomyam. I felt like i was in some &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;'Sex and the City'&lt;/span&gt; episode. We were having dinner.. while talking about &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;men and sex&lt;/span&gt;. Seriously. During food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came up with the conclusion that it is &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;never fun to swallow&lt;/span&gt;. And i don't mean the dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, we went to KLCC to chill out at &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;Shrooms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 434px; height: 326px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity010.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the escalator also can find time to take pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that night, we decided to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;stay off alcohol and be good girls&lt;/span&gt;. Must have moderation in everything we do, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 432px; height: 324px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity012.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alcohol? Nah..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity017.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MiniLini smiling for the camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 316px; height: 421px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity018.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sue-the-Moo giving her "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;i'm-pretending-that-i-am-not-aware-of-the-camera&lt;/span&gt;" pose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sue and i had a &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;mocha shake&lt;/span&gt; and a &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;virgin mary&lt;/span&gt; each. Lini ended up with some &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;weird alcoholic cocktail&lt;/span&gt; again. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I give up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 432px; height: 322px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity019.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's made up of tomato juice, tobasco sauce, and spices. Haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 429px; height: 321px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity027.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder what they're looking at..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 429px; height: 322px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity026.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh.. Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 318px; height: 423px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alasexandthecity029.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, some tongue action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;live band&lt;/span&gt; playing at Shrooms was awesome. Those people can sing man.. When one girl opened her mouth, i was amazed at how strong her voice was. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Definitely worth the drive&lt;/span&gt;. But when they started playing &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Bring Me To Live"&lt;/span&gt; by Evanescence, it made me realise that it doesn't matter how well you can sing, if you wanna do jazz, stick to it. She even tried rapping and grinding to the guy's part. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Awful..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;I'm definitely broke&lt;/span&gt;. I can't keep going out and ordering expensive drinks like this everyday. Have to stick to mamak stores from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've to go now. Gotta get ready to meet the girls to go &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;shopping at Petaling Street&lt;/span&gt;. Eh..

She &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;talks cock&lt;/span&gt; all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. She has &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;legs&lt;/span&gt; that go on for miles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. She &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;dances &lt;/span&gt;real well.

I. Am. Done. &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;WOOHOO!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's just hope i pass. *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;looks down&lt;/span&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The night saw me &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;driving &lt;/span&gt;around Sunway and USJ. Sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was late for a free movie in TGV Sunway. Gwen was relatively calm, thank God. I guess that was because they ticket was free and it was for a show called "Ghost Train". As Gwen put it "Haiya, all &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;ghost movies&lt;/span&gt; also the same one ler. Must have a girl with&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt; white white skin and long long black hair&lt;/span&gt;." I beg to digress but it sure sounded like a perfect description of one of those "dove" ad girls.. pure fair skin and long black hair. She had a point though. Ever seen a Korean or Japanese ghost story with a tanned skinned, short haired girl? Gwen continues, "And the kwai lou, they're already so fair.. so when they become ghosts, they become see-through. Like Casper like that". Haha.. yes, so i've noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was i saying? Oh yes. Driving. It took us half an hour to get from USJ to Pyramid. we reached only to realise that i had to go home to get something. It was another half an hour drive to USJ. Do take note that by now, is it almost an hour into the movie. From USJ, it took us around 40 minutes to get back to Pyramid. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;GRRRRRRR!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;HARLOW!!!&lt;/span&gt; USJ is right next to Pyramid. And it took us THAT long to go to and fro. Trust me, you don't wanna be choking to death in USJ and be waiting for an ambulance to come from SJMC. You're better off bitting off your tongue, rather than to die a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;slow painful death&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we missed the show. Not that i really mind, bearing in mind that it will be another typical korean movie. Why do they keep making dumb movies? Because we wankers buy tickets to watch it, dammit! *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;slaps hand on forehead&lt;/span&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been playing &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Zuma&lt;/span&gt; for the past hour. It is so irritating (arrghh!) when you've gone so far and it's a game over. Then ma-hai.. must start all over again. Imagine failing too many exams in college and being sent back to primary one. Hellish! I think i'm getting a little addicted to it. It helps me fall asleep.. haha. I can feel my eyelids getting heavier by the second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111817023980540122?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111817023980540122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111817023980540122' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111817023980540122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111817023980540122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/06/tick-tock.html' title='Tick-tock'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111807654026290980</id><published>2005-06-07T00:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-07T01:22:59.683+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Saturday night fever</title><content type='html'>It's a little over-dated but here's some insight to my wonderful leisure weekend. FTV major presentation was done on Friday. Despite having to sit for an exam tomorrow, i decided that my tiny-scrawny-sore body deserved a little time-out and TLC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday night saw Gwen, Jasmine and i &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;pigging out on steamboat&lt;/span&gt; in Kepong. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Yes, i know. Again! No steamboat, i die ahh i tell u)&lt;/span&gt; We were then joined by Seen (Jas's bf) and Sue-the-Moo. The food was delicious, or at least i always think it is. Anyone needs a little insight on steamboat, please feel free to come up to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the alcoholics decided that a night without&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt; liquor&lt;/span&gt; would never be complete. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Yes Sue, i'm talking about you)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;We hopped and we skipped&lt;/span&gt; our way to Red Chamber in Bangsar. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Of course we drove la. Mahai.. you think i'm that free to hop and skip all the way meh?) &lt;/span&gt;I was craving for my dosage of &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;shisha&lt;/span&gt; but the damned place was full. I thought shisha wasn't as bad as ciggies but thanks Gwen. You had to spoil it for me la woman.. :/ Since Red Chamber was packed, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;we hopped and we skipped&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(this time we really hopped and we really skipped)&lt;/span&gt; to Alexis the Bar. It is a nice place, i must say. Classier than Red and they actually serve Bloody Mary with a celery stick as a stirrer. Cheapskates at Red don't do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite that, i like Red cos it's real chill out and cos it's dim and nice to sit on the floor with tons of puffy pillows and cushions around me. Then cos it's dim and cos i'm sitting on the floor, i can sit and&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt; spread my legs&lt;/span&gt; as wide as i want to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*beams happily*&lt;/span&gt;. Then when i realise that there are people actually staring with their mouths wide open, i can cover up the obscenities with the millions of cushions around. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Yay! Clever hor?)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*claps hand gleefully*&lt;/span&gt; What did you think i'd do? &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Close my legs and sit properly like a girl?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*pffft!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Anyway, &lt;a href="http://kakicucuklangit.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;Nazrul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://kakicucuklangit.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://kakicucuklangit.com"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;joined us in Alexis and since it was his birthday days ago.. i bought him a &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;flaming lamborghini&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Not the car larr.. the drink, silly)  &lt;/span&gt;I was broke, okay? One was all i could afford. Sorry, dude. Anyway, Nazrul.. you're old. No denying that. Tee-hee.. it was real fun having you around despite your aging :) &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 439px; height: 330px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/shakycopy.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Us trying to make him look good.

Okay, maybe not exactly free.. but i was just looking for means of procrastinating my ftv budget report. Damn, i hate this part of being a producer in the team. But anyway, as i was saying.. i was &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;surfing the net&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, i was linked to another link which brought me to another link to supposedly &lt;a href="http://www.liquidgeneration.com/blog/lohan/blogger.html"&gt;Lindsay Lohan's blogpage&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(somewhat like elaine's story of how she knew this friend who knew that friend's friend who was the sister to the uncle's daughter). &lt;/span&gt;Obviously, it wasn't &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;her &lt;/span&gt;site but some people still buy that shit *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;laughs out loud*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I was disturbed by some pictures posted up though. Here's one of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;Eva Herzigova&lt;/span&gt; looking all healthy and beautiful.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 430px; height: 344px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/eva_herzigova3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet another one of her looking absolutely gorgeous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/EvaHerzigova7.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, she had to go think that she needed to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;lose some weight&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*gasp!*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 358px; height: 363px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/eva3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 355px; height: 336px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/eva2.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 356px; height: 383px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/eva1.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, i just personally don't get it. Here i am, trying to &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;stuff myself silly&lt;/span&gt; to put on weight and there they are.. beautiful people trying to look like walking, talking dried-up skeletons. Does she even think she looks good? Weird though, despite being so god-damn skinny, she still somehow manages to have boobs. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;Wahlau!&lt;/span&gt; I tell you ah.. i will never understand how the universe or for that matter, the human body works. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*starts stuffing tissue paper into bra* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="width: 422px; height: 422px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/victoriassecret.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh, so &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;this&lt;/span&gt; is how they all stay so slim..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111798259458622043?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111798259458622043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111798259458622043' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111798259458622043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111798259458622043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/06/thin-commandments.html' title='The thin commandments'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111796933690589641</id><published>2005-06-05T19:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-05T19:07:34.816+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Smooches</title><content type='html'>I'm sorry.

Honestly, sometimes i wonder if i have &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;lesbian tendencies&lt;/span&gt;. I can imagine some of you cringing already. But no.. it's just that i spend waaay more time looking at women than i do with men. *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;shrugs&lt;/span&gt;* Here are those whom i personally think are the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:180%;" &gt;HOTTEST WOMEN ON EARTH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/adriana.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;Adriana Lima&lt;/span&gt;. The woman i dream i could look like. She's brazillian and models for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Victoria's Secret &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Guess?.&lt;/span&gt; No, people.. puh-leese.. this is not a porn site okay? She hardly models with clothes on, so watdaya want me to do? She's perfect by me.. the hair eyes mouth tanned skin body.. Some people are just so lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 297px; height: 401px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/alessandra.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;Alessandra Ambrioso&lt;/span&gt;.

Would that make me look like them? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Har-har..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/angels8.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a shot of them WITH clothes on.

HOW UNFAIR!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 266px; height: 315px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/rachel_bilson.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:130%;" &gt;Rachel Bilson&lt;/span&gt; from The OC.

He's oh-so-cute. Even when he's just chillin' in jeans and t-shirts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;img style="width: 280px; height: 380px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/orlandobloom.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orlando Bloom&lt;/span&gt; . Well, again i'm not a huge fan. But in&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; some&lt;/span&gt; movies, he does make your heart skip a beat..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;img style="width: 298px; height: 265px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/JaredPadalecki.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jared Padalecki&lt;/span&gt;. I can hardly remember his name usually.. but i guess most of us will always remember him as Dean from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gilmore Girls&lt;/span&gt;. He didn't look half bad in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;House of Wax&lt;/span&gt;, but of course with Chad &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(ooh, first name basis konon o_O)&lt;/span&gt; there, he had to take second place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 235px; height: 319px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/adambrody.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite joker of all time: Seth from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The OC&lt;/span&gt;.

AARGGHHH~~!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's all good. i guess i have enough marks there for him to minus.. *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dances around like a chihuahua on ecstacy&lt;/span&gt;* FTV is so tough. just when you think you've gave it your best shot and did a damn good job.. you find out it still was not good enough. joe was happy with the class.. announcing that he was pleasantly surprised by our work this sem.. he said we were all pretty good compared to other classes and that he had no issues with us. he then had to go and say.. "oh yeah.. highest grade will probably be a C for you guys. not bad". a WHAT?? a C??!!!!! he was smiling like an angel when he said this. apparently he thinks that is a very good grade. i felt like crying despite having presented the best movie. *bangs head on the wall*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i'll just go and sleep now. headache.. headache..!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111780187300849134?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111780187300849134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111780187300849134' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111780187300849134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111780187300849134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/06/over.html' title='OVER!!!'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111703972373542627</id><published>2005-05-26T00:45:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-04T16:56:18.523+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A note from the busy blogger</title><content type='html'>I'm too tired.

I'm sorry. You can get that in a bookstore for twenty bucks. I would like to think that this post has a little more depth than that skanky, butt-crack-flashing, originally-brunette-turned-blonde hoe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was buying dinner yesterday night, I watched two little girls entertaining themselves as their mom bought them food. They were young, cute.. presumably about 5 and 7 years old. They were just playing around with a little self-made ball made out of pandan leaves. Nothing much, just a homemade toy. They shrieked with joy when their mom presented them with an ice-cream each. No, it wasn't even Haagen-Dazs.. it was just some random cheap local ice-cream (no offense to the local food industry though).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They looked so.. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;happy&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It struck me then how far we've come from being grateful and happy with the simple things in life. Now, nothing is ever good enough. When we have chicken rice.. we want sushi and caviar. When we have sleek, slim cd players.. we want &lt;a href="http://www.apple.com/ipodmini/"&gt;mini Ipods&lt;/a&gt; (I know I do). When we have an A.. we want an A+. When we have a reliable Proton Wira.. we want a &lt;a href="http://www.aoqz76.dsl.pipex.com/Web%20Page%20Components/Wallpaper/Cars/Carrera%20GT.jpg"&gt;Porsche Carrera GT&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we grow older, it seems like it's more and more difficult to please ourselves. It seems like being happy is such a arduous task. In fact, it gets even more frustrating because being angry, sad and disappointed seems to come so easily to us. No? You don't think so? Then I guess you truly are lucky. It's just me then. I'd give anything to feel the way I felt when I was younger. When life was simpler. Times when we hurt each other, regardless if it was intentional or not.. and saying a simple sorry or giving a sincere smile was all it took to mend things. Times when our biggest sin was copying the add maths solutions off someone else's book. I miss those days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it really necessary to feel sad before we can truly learn how to be happy? Will we ever find ourselves in that serene state of mind again? Is being simply &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;happy&lt;/span&gt; really that difficult?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely and unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;-- Anne Frank.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111665158448877268?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111665158448877268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111665158448877268' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111665158448877268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111665158448877268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/05/simple-life.html' title='The simple life'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111659578665419784</id><published>2005-05-20T21:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-21T13:11:45.243+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fee-youuuu</title><content type='html'>Shan and I went to the restaurant downstairs to 'ta-pau' dinner. I was holding three packets of rice when we entered the lift. A middle aged couple walked out. We walked in.

I'm bored waiting for my friends whom I knew would be late. I'm dying to play dota. In the meanwhile, I guess what I can do is blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"&gt;Entry of the day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I'm vertically-challenged. Don't wanna say the 'S' word.&lt;br /&gt;2. I'm skinny.&lt;br /&gt;3. I'm skinny. (Where art thou curves?)&lt;br /&gt;4. I have horrendous, ghastly-looking eyebags.&lt;br /&gt;5. I don't like my teeth.&lt;br /&gt;6. I'm not the smartest person around.&lt;br /&gt;7. I'm never on time.&lt;br /&gt;8. I can't draw.&lt;br /&gt;9. I'm not photogenic. Or maybe that's just an excuse for looking bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pardon me, this may sound like a self-pitying entry. It not. I'm not fishing for compliments and I am not asking you to comfort me and tell me that I'm the most beautiful person on earth. It's fine. Really.. *puts hand on heart*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just that I've been thinking. Isn't it true how we always look at others and go "Sigh.. how I wish I had her body/face" or "Damn she can sing. I would never sound like that in a million years". I've been there.. You've been there.. We've all been there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite how beautiful/good looking/smart/talented/popular we are.. we will never stop wishing we were somehow 'better'. I do not wish that I was someone else. I am truly happy to be who I am.. but aren't there times when we wished we had that other person's traits? No matter how hard we try, I've learnt that we will never be no.1. There will always be someone prettier, someone smarter, someone taller, someone nicer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I compare myself with others. Sometimes people tell me I'm too hard on myself. Growing up, I've always strived to be the best. In everything. I was like the icon for "kiasu-ism". *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;shakes head* &lt;/span&gt;Everything I wanted, I got. Someone once asked me two years back, if I had things in life I regretted. I said &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt;. It was an honest answer. Somehow, I guess I had life easy. I was gutsy and I was confident. I did everything I wanted to do and came out victorious. I had the ego of Mount Everest and I thought no one could ever bring me down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till one day, I learnt that some things &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;just aren't meant to be&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Some things, those you want most badly.. maybe, just maybe were &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;never meant to be yours&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The writer is at this point interrupted by screams and door banging. Apparently, the latecomers have finally arrived. The writer apologizes for the abrupt end but hey.. it doesn't sound THAT bad. If she feels like it, she may consider continuing the babble some other time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111659204803347502?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111659204803347502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111659204803347502' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111659204803347502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111659204803347502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/05/grass-on-other-side.html' title='Grass on the other side'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111643017362216657</id><published>2005-05-18T23:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-18T23:31:42.896+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The red button pt. 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/warningletterpart.bmp" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh.. there's that zoom-in on the letter that I missed out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111643017362216657?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111643017362216657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111643017362216657' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111643017362216657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111643017362216657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/05/red-button-pt-2.html' title='The red button pt. 2'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111641804916368375</id><published>2005-05-18T20:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-21T14:53:33.080+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The red button</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/wa"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 206px; height: 266px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y211/sirenwails/warningletter.bmp" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got this letter last Friday. Apparently among all the many many ambassadors that got the letter, I had the most relaxed response. I was just like "oh, okay". Yeah well.. when 2/3 of us get the same letter, what are they gonna do? Sack everyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay.. anyway.. See that part I highlighted? Apparently that's my biggest sin. Ohm. Hehe... So much for thinking I'm smart. I tend to avoid picking up calls from college numbers. So I won't have to go for extra duties. Unless I need to or feel like it. I have the college number as "uh-oh" in my phone so you can guess just how often I press the &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;red&lt;/span&gt; button when I see that name flash on the screen. There was once my FTV lecturer Joe tried calling me to tell me he had my pencil case which I carelessly left in the FTV lab. What did Lily do? Yes.. *nods head vigorously*. You got it.. I pressed the red button. Tee-hee.. And the call came as I was rushing about the lab looking for my pencil case. Thank God he was kind enough to leave me a voice message. I got back my pencil case and promised myself I was never going to cancel calls again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a call from "uh-oh" this morning. What did I do? *looks down* I pressed the red button.

It's so weird.. especially since all my life I've nver missed classes in school. Primary school = 6 years. Attendance complete. Secondary school =  5 years. Attendance complete. Freaky, but true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;College= so far 2 and a half years. Complete slacker. I either oversleep or I truly am sick. Which is almost all the time. Tonsilities, cough for months, flu, gastric, bronchitis, footoolitis, lipsofitus,  haha.. you name it. Names I've never heard before. It's all in my clinic card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, now I do believe that stress causes sickness. Depression does make it hard to heal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last week?

It's been a while since I've really let loose and let things flow..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work's been crazy.. but it's good. It keeps my mind off things. Being alone and thinking too much can drive a person mad. Trust me. I know. Life has been a whirlwind lately. Never knew I had the strength in me to deal with it all. Don't know if I'm doing at good job but hey, at least I can still muster a smile when I want to. At least I'm not pulling off the hairs on my head. Yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is during times like this when I thank God for the many friends I have. We all come to low points in our lives when we feel like no one could possibly care about you anymore. It's silly thinking, I know. But as most of you can testify, when the most important things in your life start breaking apart and the people you care the most about start disappointing you, nothing else really seems like it is of much importance anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, comes along those people who make time out of their hectic schedules to call you up, to try to cheer you up. People who take time to invite you over for dinner in their homes, people who try arranging almost-impossible meetings and lunches (regardless of whether they eventually do happen), people who offer to stay over at your place just to keep you company. And of course, the people who bring you out on an all-girls night or throw a party just to liven things for you. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Sweet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's been a much needed break for me. It's been great. On Tuesday, my classmates decided at 5pm to come over to my place and have an impromptu steamboat. We bought &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tomyam kosong &lt;/span&gt;from a malay store in Vista Prima, bought tons of food from Tesco in Puchong and headed over to my place. There we were.. 5 of us, feasting on beer and fishballs while watching Indiana Jones on television. Then we decided to go for a car ride in our very tipsy mood. Well, actually I had to go to Mont Kiara to pick up some props for my shoot. They wanted to keep me company. I was touched. After getting my stuff, we stopped at the Kiosk at Mont Kiara, bought more beers and sat by the roadside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, my group and I shot a rape scene for our movie. It was very uh.. entertaining, watching my friends act. I tried not to laugh. The actress tried not to cry. Imagine our faces when the actor, who's also the director, accidentally farted while humping/raping the actress. He was on top. She was stuck under. Hahahahahha.. now THAT was darn funny. And we have it on tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday saw 6 of us in &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 255);"&gt;Bar Savanh&lt;/span&gt; by 7pm with a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;bloody mary&lt;/span&gt;, jugs of beer and an entire bottle of Chivas. 3 girls+3 guys+drink=6 happy campers. By 9pm, we had 6 very high people drinking &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sup ekor &lt;/span&gt;at the nearby mamak store. As if that wasn't enough, we headed back to USJ to have tomyam. Excellent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, I had steamboat for a friend's birthday. Ate till I wanted to puke and headed home. By midnight, I had my classmates lounging in my hall again. I fell asleep. They entertained themselves, finished my drinks and food, and played monopoly. I woke up at 7am, to find 3 sleepy beauties on my couch. The hall was a mess, but I couldn't care less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we had Bak Kut Teh for lunch and chendol from SS15 for dessert. Yum! Then we made a visit to Carrefour to buy the stuff we'd need for our bbq tomm. Well, today actually... considering that it's 6am, Sunday morning now. Bought chicken, meat, drinks, junk food, etc. Stupid us forgot the beer. Had others screaming in our ears after that. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;However, &lt;/span&gt;a strawberry flavoured white wine DID catch our attention. But we ran out of cash. Definitely calls for a trip back to Carrefour. Had Williams for dinner. That was good, as usual. Then spent the rest of the night playing dota in SS15. Or at least I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tried&lt;/span&gt;. It's been what.. a year and a half since I touched Frozen Throne, and now dota? Shit.. I was crap. I think I'm addicted. Yet again. My friends said I looked like a druggie out of rehab. *ohm*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today, it's bbq day on a lake in Kota Kemuning. I need this. It feels daaammn good. We made our plans all week on impulse. We did just what we felt like doing. I had to deal with more shit mid-week, but all this chilling with friends is helping me cope. Right now I'm just gonna take one day at a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111610928015207214?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111610928015207214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111610928015207214' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111610928015207214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111610928015207214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/05/breathe.html' title='Breathe'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111607321126977748</id><published>2005-05-14T20:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-14T20:20:11.273+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sally's Orchid</title><content type='html'>There was an orchid someone gave me&lt;br /&gt;Flat and pressed against the glass&lt;br /&gt;It once was pink and vivid&lt;br /&gt;But today its day has passed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its brown leaf spread weak and thin&lt;br /&gt;That orchid feels just like my bones and skin&lt;br /&gt;Its heartbeat centre of its soul&lt;br /&gt;Is now just a furry shelter to protect it from the cold&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laid out flat for visual effect&lt;br /&gt;Today I feel a lot like that&lt;br /&gt;I put it in its frame eternal joy&lt;br /&gt;And now it's just another burnt out toy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should have seen the way&lt;br /&gt;It slowly just decayed&lt;br /&gt;I feel a lot like that orchid today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Ben Lee&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111607321126977748?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111607321126977748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111607321126977748' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111607321126977748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111607321126977748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/05/sallys-orchid.html' title='Sally&apos;s Orchid'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111575065164720945</id><published>2005-05-10T22:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-14T20:42:38.556+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Left untitled...</title><content type='html'>And so it is.

Just from this connections. I think it's a really profound statement about the nature of human existance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;An excerpt from &lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);" href="http://www.thelwordonline.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;The L Word&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;(Season 1, Episode 3) when Alice Peters ponders upon the connections we have with each other.

Crymson is dying here from some bitchass virus named the 'trojan horse'. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sheesh&lt;/span&gt;. Talk about glamour.. what a name. But I guess it's called that for a reason. Seemingly unreadable by most anti-virus scans.. it goes unidentified. Like the lurking enemy in the gates of &lt;a href="http://www.stanford.edu/%7Eplomio/history.html"&gt;Troy&lt;/a&gt;. ARRGHHH!!! I could so scream right now. I &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CANNOT &lt;/span&gt;live a day without crymson and right now.. she's moving so slow, it's as if she has &lt;a href="http://www.posterservice.com/bigpics/3682.jpg"&gt;J-Lo's ass&lt;/a&gt;. (okay, sorry.. lame one. but like I said in the post below, I was watching 'Shall We Dance'. Damn that ass is big :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I did what any IT dummy like me would do. I tried saving her. Failed miserably. Possibly made her condition worse. THEN, I went to Sunway Pyramid to the computer shops and got meself some help. Or a possible stalker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, he's nice. He's really helpful. My parents were with me, so.. when he gave me his number to call him whenever I wanted to bring the pc in (to check if he was in), I graciously said thank you. When he asked for mine, to contact me if anything.. I thought, okay. Business. I mean, my usual pc guy in Imbi has my number too. That worked out fine. So, okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I got home.. I got a call from the 'pc man'. That's what i renamed him in my phone. He didn't sound all &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ham-sap-ish &lt;/span&gt;and said he just called to ask if we could be friends. He even offered to come pick up my pc from my house and send it back once it's done. Hell, no.. I'm still contemplating if I should eventually send it to him. 50 bucks.. to reformat crymson. He's pretty young, you see.. so he's not that scary. Or sleazy. Don't get me wrong. Just a little over-friendly, over-helpful, over-enthusiastic (if that's a better way to put it). He has my number.

So maybe I've decided that it was time for a second post. Granted, yes, the site is still a mess.. I don't have a theme, the shoutbox is sitting pathetically in one corner, there're no links, not even a picture of me. And why is that so, you may ask? *sighs heavily* It's taking me a lot of courage and humility to admit to you but yes: I don't know how to. Simple as that. I don't have a single idea what HTML actually stands for, and I can't even load my own picture. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My &lt;/span&gt;own picture. In &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;my &lt;/span&gt;own site. Now tell me, friends, is that just sad or what? I guess that's what happens to you when you spend your semesters blackmailing seniors to finish up your multimedia work. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Loved &lt;/span&gt;photoshop. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Loved &lt;/span&gt;illustrator. Just didn't want to touch it. Hey, it looks good when it's done.. I just didn't want to be involved in the making of it. Now, when I see a picture of me with those dreadful eyebags, I wished I had the skills to actually airbrush them off. If only I was smart enough to know that it'd be useful to me one day. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;Stupid&lt;/span&gt;, Lily. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;Stew-peed&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion: I'm just gonna do what I do best. Ask for help. So I'm asking.. Feel free to give me pointers. Heck, design me a layout. I definitely don't mind. (I guess some people just never learn *wink*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spent a long day in college. Hardly slept a wink all night trying to write up a script for my Screen Production Techniques class. Had to cook one up by 10am and as usual.. I was cramming it all in at the very last minute. Many many ideas. No good ones. Ended up writing a ten-page script about a closet gay. Who has chronic depression. Who enjoys self-induced pain. Who ends up as a statistic in the 'suicide' poll. &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"&gt;Cliche cliche cliche&lt;/span&gt;. *Looks down* Everyone's script in class either contained homosexuality, drugs, suicide or some deranged psycho, the product of sexual abuse. And &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"&gt;lurve&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Of course&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Mine did&lt;/span&gt;. I guess I'm just part of the statistic too. *&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sighs*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went for my ambassador duty after class. Screw high heels. Seriously. My heels gave me two huge red blisters on my toes. So &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; fun. Nothing beats trainers. I love love love my &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Superstars&lt;/span&gt;. Would die without them. Right now, I'm just wishing that I had tons and tons of money so that I could buy meself one of the &lt;a href="http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/superstar35/content/index.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;Adidas Superstar 35th Anniversary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; shoes. &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Sweet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm hungry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12306819-111416731736344545?l=retrostripes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/feeds/111416731736344545/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12306819&amp;postID=111416731736344545' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111416731736344545'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12306819/posts/default/111416731736344545'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://retrostripes.blogspot.com/2005/04/long-live-adidas_22.html' title='Long live adidas'/><author><name>spankylily</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12306819.post-111400423901433735</id><published>2005-04-21T04:18:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-04-21T04:46:53.270+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Popping the cherry</title><content type='html'>Oh man.. welcome to the very virginal blog.
