Wachaa!

I’ve been practicing my Kungfu moves since the day I went to watch IpMan with my parents and bro on Christmas Day. Yeah..We went for movies on Christmas.. and it was all good! How actually did I practice my moves? One of it is by Kungfu-ing my brother..I’m just born to be a very bad lil’ sister.. If he haven’t wake up at 2pm and my mother has started her long episodes of scolding for about an hour trying to make him get up (which obviously fails everytime mum), this is where my KungFu takes place (I get irritated too you know)! and owh, did I tell you how cool IpMan is. Bruce Lee learns his moves from this man ok.

Let me brief you through the process.. I will start knocking the door like I have a warrant for a pusher’s arrest, I’ll use up my vocals (in high note) and start to fill the air with “wuiiiiiiii… bangunnnn lahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!“, and the last thing would be standing in one foot, both hands in ‘the snake’ position and here comes the good part .. one foot kicking off his blanket and pillow, followed by “Wachaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”. I don’t really think he realized what happened since he only responded with “em ya ya.. jap lagi saya bangun..“. I was even doing the Bruce Lee impersonation just to get the kick out of things. Brother will eventually wake up and say “Psychoooo!”. Yay! Mission accomplished.

I have five big dogs (not breed ones mind you, just plain kampung ones.Hehe) and they actually bark a lot. And they hate the trash truck so much. You can hear them howling non-stop and it iritates me so much I had to go out, and repeatedly finding myself scolding these dogs (as if they understand me). I’m not crazy but I will be if they don’t stop barking like mad dogs every single day. This is also where I practice my Kungfu moves.. or as a pitcher in a Baseball game. I’ll grab those Japanese slippers (a.k.a Selipar Jepun..bear with me.. am trying to make things looks classy here), trying to scare off these dogs with my precise throwing abilities..but most of the time I’ll just hit the gates. I’m not that cruel you see. I just need anger management courses. Yikes. Did I or did I not just made a public announcement that I’m just a nutcrack? Owh well.

Singing Merry Christmas? Me?? You bet.

I was in a carol group just now (read:  I was forced to be part of the it but owh I enjoyed it though). ..but the worst part was that I was asked to be Santa Rina (read: pathetic!). The rest were so excited in dressing me up as Santa’s helper since last week, but I turned them down (read: I don’t care you see. I just don’t) and repeatedly told them “jangan kasi malu sy bah‘ (read: I’m not a good sport?LOL). So I end up borrowing my boss’s red belt, pulled out my white cotton dress and had to wear a black slack with it since the dress is wayy too short…. so not suitable for a hospital’s environment (whatever that means). At least I’m getting the theme colours right.. red and white is the way to go (who the hell created the existence of S.Rina by the way??). So I had another colleague of mine who eventually also became S.Rina and decided to just fit into her pullovers (I’m not sure how many Rinas they need)…but Yay! I was gay! (as in happy, not as in being homo).and owh, our radiographer was cool enough to be Santa Clause! Well I always admire someone who’s a good sport, unlike mua. Hahahahaha. but I still love myself.

We rehearsed for about half an hour before the actual presentation at First Floor Clinic and the wards at around 10.30am. We did 5 medleys namely Joy to The World, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful and Merry Christmas. Our GM joined us and she was very energetic I must say. Hehehe. Up until the second last verse of Merry Christmas, Clausey & Rinas went around shaking hands and giving small packets of cakes, sweets and chocolates to everyone there.. Some kids actually cried ~ I guess kids nowadays hate Clausey. LOL. I kiidd.

We finished everything around 12.30pm and evryone headed back to their departments…vocally and physically tired.

Never take someone for granted.

Yellowcard’s “Only One” made me felt a bit upset. I’m becoming more and more emotional nowadays and I’m hating it. Sometimes I wish that I could go back to the time where I can choose not to do or be attached to something that had brought me to this unbearable stage or phase. I kept blaming myself for choosing that particular road but I guess mistakes are unavoidable and what I can do is learn from it. I blame myself for not following my instincts, I know something is not right but I forced myself to think that it’s purely my own bad judgement. REGRETS. *sighs” let bygones be bygones. However, accepting and trying not to do the same mistakes again is not an easy job, it’s a lot tougher and there are times that you feel like giving up. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger they say.

Only 7 days to New Year and all I can hope is a better year ahead. Life is boring without the usual ups and downs and I ‘motivate’ myself by believing that everything happens for a reason. Some people are too caught up with the perks and kicks of life, and never do they realized that they have let go something very precious in life. I promised myself to never take someone for granted – like he did. You might wake up one day and realized that you’ve lost a diamond, because you were too busy collecting stones.  But hey, maybe it just wasn’t meant to be..and it was just a big relieve as I do not have to take that big step anymore.

All my Bells are Ringing!

Well, this might not seem to be the most suitable Christmas Song for everyone as it does not really portray the true meaning of Christmas..but I’m loving it still. So listen to the song and you would certainly agree!

All My Bells Are Ringing – By Lenka.

Mistletoe and holly
Deck the halls
But you
Don’t come around
And you don’t call

Well
It’s just
Like the season
To be lonely
And my heart
Is beating
For you only

Take my heart
This Christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow
Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take it
Where ever you go

Everybody
Has someone to hold
Nestle by the fire
In from the cold

But I don’t hear
The carols
They are singing
And I’ve only
Got one thing good
For giving

So take my heart
This Christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow
Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take it
Where ever you go

All my bells
Are ringing
Just for you
And I got
No desire
For someone new

So take my heart
This christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow

Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take
Where ever you go
Take it
Where ever you go

Christmas is just around the corner.. I wish all Christians a wonderful 25th December!

Now… I need to sing this song to someone.. “Take my heart this Christmas..Wrap it in a Ribbon and a Bow..” Lalala.

This song made me happy!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Arghhhhhhhhhhhh! Haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssshhh!!!

That’s about it.

I had trouble sleeping last night..and I was super lazy to come to work this morning. I was in blank mode. I was restless and did a lot of thinking until I couldn’t really focus a thing my boss asked me to finished. So I stared in front of my PC, chatted with my girlfriends and spilled everything out.

So he revealed everything (after weeks and months of persuasion) and told me I deserved better (honestly,what the fk?!). I’m now officially back to square one, single and dying very soon (kidding. I just need time for recovery). The fact that I have been wasting 4 years & 8 months of my life being his so called ‘nyawa’, added more to my destruction. Demmit. I’m not fully destroyed though but letting go is obviously the last thing I had on my mind. He was still with his ways, and stupid me for thinking that I can changed all that (No, i don’t really think I’m stupid. I’m actually a lot clever than most of the girls he ends up with who are all emm..err..crappy and *putting my fingers down my throat*. Lalalala. I was just using ’stupid’ as an expression’ not as in really referring to myself.). He did changed for maybe the years I spent close to him but once I came back from Sabah, our relationship started to crumble and I should have expect that. I never regretted coming back to KK and we came up with all this plans of being together. To think  back, boy, it was all crap.

Last night, he dropped the ultimate bomb right in the middle of my heart. It gave me this unbelievable heartache, I even thought I had a mild heart attack! Demmit. But yeah, if you want to talk about being loyal in three aspects: mind, heart and actions..I did my mistakes but I wouldn’t go for something that will break my relationship. I don’t really know if i was afraid of losing him or was it just because I am scared of moving out from a nearly 5 years relationship? The moment he admitted of having affairs behind my back, I was devastated but the weird thing was that I was able to let go.

Felt a bit silly as I know he reads my blogs every now and then but sorry ‘dear’, I’m really really mad at you but owh well, please do listen to All American Rejects ’s “Gives You hell” – just take it from a girl’s side. and I surely mean it. *wide grin*.

To my girlfriends, I needed that support and ui ui ui,  some Pina Colada this Saturday will help. Lets get out early and pay a visit to the airport. Hahaha.

For now, I’m going to feast my eyes with these shots. ooh La La.

Partying..again? and again. and again. and again. (updated)

December 14, 2008 anarchylikeflower 15 comments

We’ve been partying like every week. I’m not an avid clubber you see. Haha. Ocassionally but not regularly but I still need to blog about it every now and then.

Ok first up. Girls!!!!!!!!! I had a wardrobe and make-up malfunction! one: My fake eyelashes was not in place.. It was coming off and you could see it in the pictures (both eyes pls). I look buduh ni. Ok for first time users like me, please use super glue (as in a glue that really works, not gam gajah ok. LOL). I borrowed Girl’s glue and it’s far better. around 2am..Eyelashes was 70% falling off and I still have it on my eyelids. Wakakakakaka. I still feel buduh ni. Girls for my sake, don’t post pictures of me with my eyelashes going haywire ok. Dunno how many cameras took a close up picture of us that night and it might get published in the net!! Ahhhh cilakakkkk! LOL. Two: the lining of my skirt koyak!! Buduh again. Ok this was supposed to be a retro night. then all of us decided to wear something vintage and retro-like. So I rummaged through my wardrobe to find a red tartan skirt that I bought at a thrift shop 7 years back. I did not care to check it’s condition and only did I realized from one of the picture that the inside lining was torn! So you think the inside lining doesn’t really matter as no one will ever notice? Yeah only if it remains ‘inside’. But in my case, the lining terkeluarrr dari my skirt. I only realized this while seeing one of the shots captured that night. Buduhhhhhhh ohhh! Three: I lost one of my belt’s strap and left me with a belt that was happily hanging at the side. I’m not sure how to explain the condition but I’m proudly publishing my malfunctions for you to get a better understanding (tapi strictly for viewing purposes only. Laughing prohibited. But smiling would still be ok.Hahaha) But surely I’ll try to avoid all these in other outings. Krazi. but Funny though. Hahaha. *sigh*. I need to say this again…Buduhhhhhh ohhhh! and owh, I wouldn’t even want to mention what happened to my bra. *coughing* too public *coughing* Duhh.

Reviews:

Girl stayed at KK Times Square Hotel (a brand new hotel in KK) for a night so it wouldn’t be a fuss for us to send her back home, which I think was very thougtful of her. I really wouldn’t mind though. Saya kan pawong berjaya. LOL. So after fetching Cornn from her house, we went straight to her hotel and stayed for a while as it was too early still to go out (around 9pm) so we decided to spend another half an hour camwhoring in her hotel room. Shiok bah!! LOL.

Around 9.30pm we decided to pass by Rumba and see the crowd before heading to Texas as Girl was extremely hungry! Pity her. Corn and I had our dinner at home but both of us had this stomach pain..like butterflies flying inside our tummy. Hahaha. We felt nervous? But why? the fact that we were all going retro added to the excitement/ nervousness. Hehe. During dinner at Texas we actually had a ‘matured’ discussion.. we talked about work! Haha. We came from different field – Cornn in her Legal field, Mua with my PR & Marketing, and Girl with her Oil & Gas. But still our discussion revolves how fast can we grow in our own career and how Sabah has a lot of good graduates who are underpaid due to the lack of job opportunities, leaving most graduates with less choices and desperate to take on any jobs offered. Better than being unemployed they say. We end up with a big *sigh*. We finished dinner at around 10.30pm and headed directly to Rumba.Again.

Place was not crowded..and the fact that not everyone there was retro-dressed made things a bit dull. I wonder why? Owh well, it doesn’t really matter though because whatever it is, we’ll all end up having fun. Weee! One of Girl’s colleague Zul joined us with a few of his friends from N9 – can’t actually remembered all thier names except for Niezam since he was the main sponsor that night *winkwink*. I was asking Girl to check on my lashes for every 5 minutes and she was supportive enough and keep saying “ok ok.. masih ok”.. Now I’m not sure whether I can still trust her. Hahahaha. I kiiiddd!!! The Pina Colada that Sam gave Girl tasted really nice! I’ll think I’ll give it a try the next time we’re there. I actually have a Pina Colada Car perfume but it does not really smell like PC anymore since I’ve been carrying Durians inside my car for a couple of days and the Durian  smell won’t disappear! Cilakak betul.

Jenie & Anne came a bit late and two hours with you girls is not enough ok. So remember to come early! My brother Andrew also came to have a check on me. Haha. He came straight from the construction site which explained how tired he looks. He went home after that.

More details can be read at http://eleanorcornelia.blogspot.com. (I need to maintain this blog.. Corn has been really kind to update this shared blog of ours for most of the time!)

Taking cue from Cornn’s review. Here goes my  observations (Cornn & Mua have this habit of observing people!!):

  1. I will always catch a glimpse of boys dancing like girls. I have a problem with that. It bugs me. Yeah this is a free country and yes you could do whatever you like as long as you don’t end up in jail. But still, guys.. please have more manly moves ok. Don’t move like a girl and puhh-lease lah don’t wriggle your bon-bon. Urghhh.
  2. Guys tend to flirt around with girls. .and girls does the same thing too. But please,  know your boundaries. Acts of obsessive touching at all the wrong places spells dirty and cheap. Guys: Talk to the face, not to the breast.  We appreciate a good chat even if the music is too loud you can’t hardly hear one another.  Girls: You don’t want that wrong impression of you hitting with every guy in the club, correct? You don’t have to flirt outrageously to look sexy. Hmpph.
  3. I went to the washroom. Another girl was busy applying make-up.At first, I really thought she was pretty! Suddenly asked me where am I studying. I said I’m employed. She blabs about she studied in Australia, just came home and partied and I was like “Who cares??”. Gaga. (ok maybe she was just being friendly? Pardon me, but she was giving me that bitchy look ok. There’s a fine line of being friendly or just being an ass. Am not being judgemental but yes, I can spot an A** when I see one. Owh well.
  4. I prefer not to have my drinks, including my girlfriends be mixed with even a drop of a stranger’s drinks. I tried my best to avoid this without telling them off as maybe for them it’s just a simple gesture. That’s why I end up asking for new glasses from the bar!
  5. Bikin panas juga kan if you see someone you like flirting with others? Do you agree with me kah Cornn? LOL.

P/s: I open my mouth a lot and yes I realized I have fillings on my teeth. Absurd. Hahaha!

P/s: Berabis kami kasi jeles si Inden coz she was unable to follow. Sorry dear. Dun worry. We will always have another visit! (Yeah.. I think Inden ada ‘daulat’ bah .. I think my malfunctions was due to this!)

It’s coming to an end.

December 9, 2008 anarchylikeflower 3 comments

What’s coming to an end? owh..the so called prosperous year of 2008, as some would refer it to be  (just because the number’8′ is there, obviously).  2008 is coming to an end in lest than a month, 21 days to be exact. I look forward to celebrating new year (read: partyy) but part of me still wants to remain in 2008? Leaving ‘08 means accepting the fact that I am getting older,  a supposed to be matured girl (or should I start calling myself a Woman?Uwh. wicked) and the pressure to set my life straight (read: grow up). Going to reach mid 20’s in another two years time, and I already start to feel I’m old. Duhh. For those who are well in your late 20’s and above, you might give me that ‘oh-puhh-lease’ look but hey, I bet you went through a similar self-depicting moment right? So hold your opinion for just one second and agree with me for once.

Was reading one of Cornn’s latest post on her self-discovery. It made me wonder. So, how much did I changed and was it all good? This will eventually create some guidelines for my 2009 New Year Resolutions. Maybe I need to perform a cleansing ritual to mark a brand new me. LOL. Does ‘cleansing’ your system with beers count? Kidding. Haha.

Work – I resigned from doing Sales for an international timber organization and started to work in a the PR & Marketing field which seems to be a lot more enjoyable. My first week in a new workplace is all about adjusting to the social environment and making friends and learning new stuffs are not that complicated so switching to a new job is fairly easy. However,  I prefer to observe and keep my loud mouth shut for most of the time as I realized that some people are just born to be plain conservatives, judgmental and I can clearly see the word ‘backstabber’ written on their forehead (read: hypocrites). Maybe it’s just a natural human reaction when they find themselves intimidated by another human being. Being loud and talkative sometimes pisses people off. It’s funny though. There are times I hope I win the Lotto, be an instant millionaire and will never need to work again.

Play - I’ve been partying a lot this year – the excessive intake, the inhalation and the lack of sleep has  contributed a lot to my aging process (very bad dark circles, chapped lips and drying skin) but I just can’t stop.  Give me another few years to slow things down (I might regret it by then though..oh well). I’ve dropped a massive 8 kilos. I weigh 53kg on January 2008 and to date, I weigh only 45kg. It’s not an accomplishment. Never go for crazy diets and such but  I suddenly lost my big appetite.  I like myself more when I was plump. At least I feel ‘cute’. LMAO. Now I sometimes feel like a walking skeleton. Being skinny made  my face shrink and I look super restless even when I managed to get 8 hours of sleep (two times a week that is). But hey, I feel lighter and a more energetic in a way. A riot grrrl would scream “who gives a fck! Love your boddyy!”

Love - Oh here comes the hard part. Once the year start with a booming January 01, 2009, I’ll just let go and struggle to build a brand new chapter with or without the need for a man by my side. blahblahblah. Been telling myself the same thing over and over again but will never learn how to. Putting too much hope on someone will eventually destroy you bit by bit. It did to me and I realized that blackmailing, whining, complaining, shouting, screaming, putting up a fight, crying, kicking, punching and destroying things will NOT make any difference – except giving you a bad throat, swollen eyes, and it does  involved a lot of cost (you may need to fix back the things you smash on the floor or throw on the wall. LOL)  Someone please give me a hard slap me in the face (ouch that would hurt but hopefully it would bring me back to my senses!).

Hmm.. I need to list down my resolutions (even if I know I won’t really get some of them going/done..but being as optimistic as I can, resolutions can at least get me back in the right track)

Just woke up. Quickly turn on my laptop. Logged in to wordpress and started typing. Wee.

The fact that I enjoyed last night’s outing made me woke up with a smile in my face! Haha.

So there was mua, Cornelia, Veralyn, Sharon and Danielle. (Mua, Cornn, Girl, Inden & Dan) ‘partying’ at Rumba, Le-Meridien (haven’t had enough of Switch Groove). Cornn & mua went to Cock & Bull to warm up before heading to Rumba. We were already intoxicated by both beers and liquors. We were trying hard to go by the rules ‘don’t go mixing your drinks’ but all failed. Failure caused mainly by this two dangerous words “Free Drinks”. Ahh. Demmit.

Am super-excited to meet my ‘long-lost-friends’ Girl, Inden & Dan. Ok not so particularly ‘lost’ ..we still managed to keep in contact via blogging, YM-ing & SMS-ing. The last time I saw Girl was 6 years ago, and the last time I saw Inden & Dan was possibly 10 years ago. Well, I do ’see’ them in uploaded photos via the net but gosh, not in real-life. Can’t stop hugging them all through the night! Blame me for my continuous excuses.

Cornn was getting all frilly-frullu (I don’ t think the word exist and owh, I was referring to the dress. Hihi), Girl was with her great companion, D90 (which I have to refrained myself from stealing) and will always be the super-steady Girl I know, Inden with her super-cute cheeks and Dan is always the slim and tall babe (I hate you for it Dan. LOL).

sharon-eleanor<Sharon + Eleanor. Knew her since I’m 7 years old! Masih  ada hingus2 lagi sama2 pegi kantin? Betul kah tu Den? LOL

photo-by-shamsyul-adzrin_copyCandid Photo shot by Syamshul Adzrin (stole it from your FB- sorry dear)- I was not aware of him shooting this! Haha! I was most probably taking a short break from all those crazy movements I did on the dance floor. But thanks Syam! Quoting your tagline from your Facebook “Milik siapakah gadis ini? ” LOL.

Corn + Len + StacyCorn + Mua & Stacy (& a bit of Danielle’s arm.hehe) doing the hula-hoop dance (minus the hoop)!

Corn + Inden + Girl + DanMy babes! Warning: You can see but you cannot touch oh. LOL.

Corn & LenCornelia + Eleanor. Was browsing through the pictures and noticed that 98% of our pictures are with our mouth open. Hahaha.

Reviewed.

1.  Location? Were sitting at the bar. Just the right spot where we’ll have a good view of the band, nearer to the drinks which made ordering far more easier, near the DJ station where hit records are played alternately, not so close to the washroom (hygienic purposes) but quite a walk when you need to ‘release’ yourself, but nearer to the entrance where its easier to manoeuvre yourself out. Hehe. However, speakers are like three feet from where we’re sitting.. I can still hear this ngiiing ngiing sound in my ear. The stage lights were somewhat focusing to that particular area and made us feel a bit warm (was even trying to find where the air-cond was). Was telling Cornn that the lighting made all of us became the centre of attention..and ermm.. attraction. Was it a good thing or bad thing? Haha. Quoting Inden “Whoa! That’s a bold statement woman”. LMAO. Anyhow, the location was good.

2. Let’s dance! My back hurts a bit with all the grinding, twisting and turning. I blame Cornn, Girl, Inden & Dan. Uhmm.. Few girls joined the session and there was this lady who likes to bend over backwards. Mua & Inden looked at each other, paused for like three seconds, looked at her , our jaw dropped and Inden was kiddingly  impersonating her! I could roll on the floor laughing! The lady was having super-fun I guess. Then I remembered Inden during her Gimnastic days! Her brother was there too and sorry for ‘the moves’ I made on your brother. LOL.

3. Camwhoring? I gave my full salute to Girl as she was like this professional photographer (yeah she is) and she caught the attention of mr. Vernon – F&B Manager of Rumba. She blogs a lot so if she did a review on Rumba. Boy, it would be a kick! Well, Girls will always be girls. Whenever Girl started holding and focusing her D90, all of us will suddenly stop dancing and immediately started to pose our quirky, krazi self. Gaga. Adui..It’s all automated. Cornn camwhored with her Nikon and the result: more and more pictures of a girls night out! Yay!  This body is like so case-sensitive; “Camera = stop everything+pose+smile!”. Will upload photos as soon as I got them from Girl. I’m having trouble with my D60. Maybe I need speed lights? My flash is not ‘big’ enough, not enough for such dark surrounding.. giving my pictures a darker background, no light bouncing back from the ceiling they say…Resulting in poor image. I opted for non-flash mode. Giving me that yellowish image. Not that bad but it gave me no satisfaction. *sigh*. Focus censor not working due to the lack of lighting – subject too dark it says – blurry image. Siapa ada speed light murah2 kasi jual sama sy. LOL.

Others:

1. Danielle lost one of her contact lenses. Not very sure how but possibly due to the twisting movements?

2. Inden accidentally got burned by ciggies. Uwh. Who the hell did that! Surely not me. :)

3. Boys dancing like girls? I’ m allergic. Sorry peeps.

4. Switch Groove? Hot as ever.

5. IT WAS ALL FUN!

Everything ended at around 2am. Dj played some seriously sappy songs to end. What’s up with that?  Am in touch with my emotional side. Made me remembered the guy I’m supposed and trying very hard to forget. triple demmit. But above all, everything was super extra goooood! Another round very very soon!

*I just hope you think of me once in a while, and I just hope it’s all good thoughts though*

A superb Saturday night.

Mua with oh-so-pretty cousin @ the bride!

the bride and groom (debra and siong huei)

My cousin (my dad and her dad are siblings), Debra Ng held her wedding reception at Ocean Seafood Reaturant on November 29. This was my first time going to that Restaurant since it was renovated and boy, I didn’t imagined it to be this big. It look a lot smaller from outside. It started around 7pm with 500 guest slowly filling up all the tables. I heart events like this as it helps to gather families together. It helps to know more people and see more faces where some are actually close relatives of ours.. Debra and her husband were welcoming all the guests at the door; shaking hands, receving gifts and angpows, giving hugs and cheek kisses to the guests. I was standing at one corner near the entrance to usher the guests to their seats. My mind started to wander.. I was saying to myself ‘preparing for your wedding reception  – with all the guests list, the invitations, the venue, the programs, the food etc.. is no easy job.

Everything went fine and reception ended at around 10.30pm. I was looking at my watch..and i thought to myself “still early bah this.. ” , maybe I should go out tonight! So I texted Corn and she agreed to parteyy! We went to Rumba _ Le Meridien as the performing band is quite good. It’s hip and kickin’. The fact that band members are somehow very attractive + the right group of crowd *winkwink* has made Rumba my current obsession.

Saturday November 29th, 2008

One word: Marvelicious! The end. I kid I kid. Haha.

I texted Cornelia around 8.30pm asking her out for a drink. I was estatic when she said “Ok bah. Jam brapa?”. Immediately after my Cousin’s wedding reception came to an end, I actually walked so fast that it seems like I was running to my car. Fetched Corn around 11pm at her house when I promised her I would reach there by 10.30pm. So not punctual.

Rumba here we come!

Honestly, I’m super-impress with the band, Switch Groove (and honestly, I only knew the band’s name when I was reading Corn’ s post). I keep referring them as “band hensem2″. Possibly they should consider to change their band’s name to We are the Handsomes. I kid. Hehehe. Switch Groove sounds more like a scientific name for a coconut tree (maybe I’m just plain weird) but coconut pun coconut lah. I was amazed. The word is Awestruck. Damn it. They are now becoming our latest addictions. I wonder whether it’s a good thing or not? *winkwink*

We opted for Long Island (a safe bet) and skipped the ever-popular drink in Rumba; Mojito, which we had on Friday night. The mint leaves were refreshing but too much of those leaves swimming inside your glass is not attractive at all. Corn was lik sipping leaves down her throat. She was busy pulling the plants out of her glass and ended up filling the entire ashtray. Pity her though.

They were having this Prom Night – the place was bit crowded and we managed to find only one seat at the bar so Corn & I took turns to sit but we were 80% dancing and standing while listening to the band’s performance. I managed to ’steal’ a stool from the table beside us for my brother. I was loving the fact that the majority of the crowd are fresh young adults. Musics were blasting off the speakers, alternately changing from live performance and DJ’s records in an interval of 20-30 minutes per performance . Guess Corn & mua was enjoying the music, dancing to our crazy beats while laughing hsyterically. I somehow feel we look kinda funny but I rather be funny than trying to do an imitation of the Pussycat Dolls. Few girls joined in the fun and I supposed it made the dancing a whole lotta fun. Then… we got invited. Invited for what? Invited by the female vocalist to dance with her in front of the crowd.. Phew. I wonder whether it was our wall-breaking laughing volume that made her noticed us? We are officially loud. Woohoo. Dang and dang and dang!

Last but not least, “Alcohol doesn’t solve problems, but to think back..neither does milk”. Weee.

The End (am not kidding).
