evie oh oh's 19th

Fantabuloustic June day at the beach with the gang for a birthday afternoon BBQ!


Gorgeous birthday girl!

The almost group picture

Alexis, Michelle, Phoebe, Sam

Sunnies - with and without

Ha ha I got scolding from my friends for always texting instead of helping out! Eh I helped swat the flies okay?

Less pictures of the guys because this is a girly blog.

A lot of pictures of me because this is MY girly blog.

For more pictures of the Sepang Goldcoast trip last June 26th, click here, here and here.

your green eyes i shall miss tonight

I'm supposed to be doing someone's assignment for him, but I got distracted.

It's a good distraction no worries. And I don't usually do this but good things must be shared!

A recent feature in The Star was about bloggers, and I was (as I'm sure many of you) particularly pulled towards this attractive looking girl in one of the pictures. Then just now Phoebe mentioned her name on IM and I remembered to go see her blog.

I was pleasantly surprised to see what I saw and read. Contrary to what most famous physically attractive bloggers are famous for - which is their looks duh - this girl can actually write! And her pictures are really good, well taken. Everything looks professional and the best part is 'tat she doesn't write like tis' or go 'with!!!!!! a!!!! million!!!! exclaimation!!!! marks!!!!! after every sentence!!!!' which I am ashamed to admit even I sometimes do. /shy blush

Her template is clean and neat, very professionally done.

I like her Clappity Sundays on-going posts where she puts up a 'little dose of cuteness', which are mostly single pictures but yes they're cute!

This girl totally discarded my stereotyping of very good looking female bloggers as mostly immature and non-sophisticated, only famous for their face and skinniness.

So do click on Jamie Chin's blog for a good read and fantastic pictures of her. Okay, and of other stuff as well.

And she has gorgeous skin! I want!

Now for a good rant.

EVERYONE knows Grey's Anatomy is supposed to be on NTV7 at 10pm every Saturday right?

However even after the first time it happened to me, it happened again tonight.

But wait, it's even better than before.

According to normal time, it's supposed to be GA right? But then the TV Guide says that on Saturday the 4th July 2009 at 10pm, NTV7 would be showing Robin Hood.

Okay fine then fair enough since TV Guide says so, I'll watch that instead. I turned on the TV to find that some old Malay movie was show instead!

Sigh. When technical errors happen, it's just so not a happy event for everyone.

just an excuse for a night out

Weeks ago we went for fete de la musique at Telawi Street Bistro, Bangsar to support Eve's band in one of their many performances.

See any differences (or similarity) between Tongue in Chic and MSN Malaysia Life & Style?

Yes, that's the sort of thing I'm doing at my new work place.

Very glad for the opportunity to work in a line related to my studies. Even though my schedule is very packed, with barely any time for me to grab a breath of fresh air, I realise that many of my fellow course mates would kill to have an opportunity like this,

...therefore I shall persevere.

Thank goodness I have the DSLR in mind, as a motivation for working hard and not spend my holidays holidaying.

Okay okay so I'm also grateful for having the sweet one for company everyday.

the end and the beginning

Comparisons are easily done,

Once you've had a taste of perfection.

Finally my home internet is back! It's been a hectic and surreal few days for me, that's for sure. What with work, piano classes, layaning the antics of that absolutely sweet but perasan person, I barely have time to just sit and relax, what more facebook?

Oh wait I know you are just going what-what-what?

Ha ha okay I'll start from the beginning. Or maybe I shall just summarise because it's almost reaching midnight and don't we all know what it means? (Midnight Internet curfew, that's what!)

It was a long and busy weekend - Eve's BBQ picnic and new piano classes on Friday, more piano classes and Urbanscapes on Saturday (where I got lost for 4 hours and cried out of frustration in the middle of KL), and was out the whole Sunday.

Then I started my part time work yesterday at this media company (yes I know, it was a sudden thing for me too) and now you can catch me at Mid Valley Boulevard from 9am-6pm but it might be for this week only. Thanks Kel Li for recommending the job, and Daryl Ong for the crucial Internet help on Sunday night!

Right, be prepared for some updates on Urbanscapes, fete de la musique and other events, hopefully by this weekend.

Love Story Piano Cover

After many trials and errors, I recorded the almost-perfect video.



I don't know why they say that the pitch is out because I could sing along with it perfectly fine.

Perhaps I'll do the voice cover one of these days, if I feel like in the mood.

it was a warm happy wednesday

I wonder hmm.

It's been 3 days since my holidays started and I already feel 10 pounds heavier for sitting down most of the time.

However strangely despite my being a glutton and lazy ass these few days, the weighing machine tells me otherwise. Heh.

But that was this morning. Now that I had a heavy lunch I feel much bloated.

Sad.

Yesterday was basically another lazy day. I was supposed to go buy a colour dye then go dye my hair kan, but unfortunately the colour I wanted was out of stock. Bummed around til evening then met up with my form 5 mates for a small yc session. (Pics here) After that it was to Sunway for Transformers!

It was raining the whole night. So weird that it has to happen on a night when I had to drive all the way to Sunway Pyramid alone for a midnight movie. BTW thanks SL for the free ticket!

How was the movie? Well I basically read up on American reviews in the afternoon and unfortunately I had yet to come across a good review, so I actually went in the cinema with low expectations.

Low expectations = not much disappointment.

Lame jokes and unbelievable scenes (like, a guy got tased and immediately recovered in like 5 secs wth) aside, I wish that there was more focus on the good robots like in the first movie than on the bad robots speaking English and arguing senselessly with each other.

Also, the focus on making Megan Fox a sex symbol (just because they know she is, and she can!) is so obvious that I can't help but roll my eyes the minute she first appeared. Watch the movie and you'll know what I mean.

And can you please give Josh Duhamel more screen time?

Let me tell you what annoys me about the movie. The two mini short and stumpy twin Autobots aka Smart Cars, the fakeness in which this (originally) (minor) Decepticon character transferred his allegiance to Mikaela, the good people, Mikaela just because it thinks she is hot, and Mikaela looking oh-so-good in the end of the movie even after all the rolling-on-the-ground-being-thrown-here-and-there...

OK I'm not saying that I'm jealous or what, it's just that how come she still has time to put on lip gloss even when she's on the run from the evil robots?

And on a non-movie related complaint - how come she has such gorgeous grey eyes when I have ordinary ones?

*note to self* Need to find out what brand of fake lashes she uses.

Ok ok back to the movie. I also wonder about the anorexic human-Decepticon machine - if they're so advanced why can't the Decepticons use more of these machines to infiltrate into the human government and find out more about the Autobots and stuff?

But of course there are good things about the movie which I liked. There is the excellent CGI (as compared to Blood, every other movie's CGI is definately better) and the whoa soundtracks which I'm definately downloading getting.

And of course, Josh Duhamel.

a smile is just a few muscles away from a frown, but oh! the effort

It's 11.25pm and I'm supposed to be treating my dad supper as a belated Father's Day thing but then everyone got cranky waiting for everyone to be ready, and I thought that since I wasn't gonna eat anyway I might as well give my sis the money and tell her to pay for whatever they're eating. Yes and I was quite pissed off already for being nagged the whole day and also about another issue.

Then as they were leaving I found out that my dad had closed the Youtube page of which I had been loading a video for the past 5 hours that was almost done!

I got so upset that I screamed, shouted, cried.



And now that I've somewhat calmed down I'm taking deep breaths. No telling what I'm feeling now though I don't want to think about it.

On the other hand I don't want to stay upset for so long so here's a good joke circulating through emails for you. It's a combination of an old joke with Malaysian flavour tossed in.

"A lawyer and an Chinese are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that all Chinese are so dumb that he could get over on them, easy.

So the lawyer asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun game. The Chinese is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines, and tries to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun.

I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5;
When you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.

This catches the Chinese's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth to the Moon?'

The Chinese doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Chinese's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail.

After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Chinese and hands him $500.

The Chinese pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Chinese up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Chinese reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

The Chinese after handing over the $5 bill was about to fall asleep suddenly woke up and asked the lawyer another question.

'Who is the MB of Perak?'

The lawyer nearly choked on his drink, and hands over another $500."

I resolve to go fix my hair tomorrow, then go for the late Transformers movie (which ticket I'm getting for free) at Pyramid after the yumcha with my form 5 mates.

Sigh I wish fullstop.

just a little hasty

omgomgomg so many things going on, so many things to do, so many things to blog about - I don't know where to start! Just seeing the number of pictures to edit and watermark and all already gives me a headache.

My video editing program is open, my fingers are itching to practice the piano after a week hiatus, I want to sort out the Perhentian thing ASAP, I want to go swimming, play all games on facebook, sort out my blog links and template, call a billion people to arrange this week's timetable...



Ah forget it all. Here's a little preview of the cupcakes post!

I don't know why but my heart is beating like really really fast just thinking about what to do first. Shit am I getting a stroke? (yes typical drama queen me!)
