Splash Party #(I Lost Count)

Please be warned that the post gets more drunk as you scroll down.

Another late post.

Every first Sunday of the month, Luna Bar hosts one of the hottest parties there is, the Splash Party which trust me, gets hot and wild every single time.

Which kinda explains why we need the pool.

Every time i party at Luna Bar, i never go home sober and neither do most of them. So yes, i'm not kidding about the wet and wild part. Sexy things happen at Luna Bar, and thank gawd, they stay at Luna Bar. Otherwise, they'd be havoc all over the streets.

It's RM120 per entry for buffet plus free flow of anything at all. I mean anything.

I down at least my body weight in liquor when i'm there and party with local celebs.

Being invited there exclusively every month is definitely a privilege, which means i don't have to blow a bomb to party with the girls and the team. I only see them ever so occasionally, so i always jump at the invite.

I wouldn't turn down a party with my friends, what more, i didn't have to pay which is well, pretty fucking awesome.

To give you an idea, whatever pictures you see, the actual party is 10x wilder.

;)

I met Chantelle there whom i've not seen since @live Preview Party and Jeremy, who well, lives up the street from me and DJs for Red FM.

The Girls.

And my fav photog, Andy (who took these pictures)

Caution that the pictures below are after gawd knows how many rounds of tequila shots, vodka on the rocks, beer and white wine.

Deadly mix.

Some pictures i don't even remember taking.

Jeremy's red.

Erm, yea i don't remember this.

But lol, Chantelle!

And i was dead drunk.

So drunk, i couldn't even speak when i wanted to.

Let's just say the night ended early when Cookie showed up, and went through the trouble of hunting me down. After my drunk tweet:

He'll never let me live it down, how drunk i got.

The next morning, all the drunk stories came, so i wasn't the only one.

And you know what, can't wait for the next Splash Party #232438564577034727634!

kisses.

A Self-Absorbed Post

With Jin of Hitz at Freedom A&B (which FYI Ryan, you missed out big time!).

I like this picture because i do not look particularly fat in anyway, nothing to do with the fact that it's Jin. I met Jin some time late last year when he interviewed me on air. As cute and sweet as he is, this post is gonna be about me. I shall be self absorbed now *nods head*.

My lack of sleep, lack of rest lifestyle has resulted in my pigging out like crazy and thus, gaining weight i do not need at all.

Even John calls me fat now.

Sigh. Thunder thighs, here i come!

Since i have no time, being in the office and events most times, i can't be rock climbing which only means one thing.

Gym.

(omg, can you believe it?)

kisses.

Trip To The Sticky Store

Really, i gotta start blogging in order.

Have yet to even blog about the first Freedom (PHD) and my emcee job at Everlast. Both happened a week before what this post is about.

A couple days back, after work and before Eshia's gig at Laila's and Lapsap Private Party (which i eventually missed !@#$%^* )

Okay, inhale exhale.

In between my hectic schedule, i finally found time to decently see Cookie without having to run off every 5 minutes.

I had to drop him off at One Utama so he took me to dinner at Fish&Co.

To be honest, it's my first time eating at Fish&Co.

I'm damn ulu and not a fish person. I swear by chicken and red meat all the time. But i gotta say, this is good. We ordered fried calamari and New York Fish which is STUFFED with parmesan cheese to the max.

*drools*

I'll visit again and take more pictures for you hungry people.

After dinner, i was craving candies (like i do all the time), so he decided to take me to this place where they make rock candies.

sticky

And again, i totally embarrassed myself. I've never been to sticky, or ate rock candies. Ever.

The whole store was pink.

Sticky is an Australian brand and they have a store right here in One Utama,

Sticky is a group of highly skilled and dedicated confectioners, recognised internationally as specialists in high quality, hand-made, rock candy style lollies and candy art for weddings and corporate promotions.

From their Aussie Website

The place is pretty small, it's just a shoplot as compared to the one i read on Xiaxue's blog.

The candies are handmade and the the entire process is on show behind glass panels in the store itself.

They make all kinds of coloured candies, including personalized ones where you can put your own messages, or get those simple ones like Sorry, already packaged for you.

I'm like a kid. I like colours and i like candies.

So when there's both together, i go crazy.

See the teeny tiny message?

They also have flavoured ones in Kiwi, Strawberry, Apple, Sour Apple etc etc.

Yupp, that big chunk of thing to create small pieces of messages.

You need skills for that man, to arrange the messages from scratch.

And tons of sweat and muscles.

SWEAT.

I thought it'd be pricey but it's less than RM20 a jar.

RAWR I live for candies!

The store is located at:

LG 213 Lower Ground Floor,
1 Utama Shopping Centre,
1,Lebuh Bandar Utama ,
Bandar Utama , 47800 Petaling Jaya

Tel :603-77277688
Fax : 603-77257688

Web : www.sticky.com.my

Eat Me!

I bought a jar of mixed candies.

RM17.

Sweet.

kisses.

That's All It Took

No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as ever was

- I'll see you soon then.

kisses.

Crazy 48 hours

I'm forced into updating this first because Cookie hasn't passed me his SD Card which contains the pictures of the Freedom (PHD) rave before this one.

And that Simon of S Dee is bugging me for photos.

If you follow my twitter, you'd know that i've been going down to JB ever so often. Before the first ever Freedom 360 installment this year, i've never ever in my entire life went down South from KL. So i flew down the week before again (yes, i took the plane) to be at Freedom (PHD) when Cookie was spinning for Audio Damage to show my love and support and to emcee for Everlast's 100th Anniversary the next day after the rave, before i flew back.

Last week i went down again, because he promised me months back to take me to Singapore for my first time, which of course didn't happen the week before because i scored a job as an emcee.

phew.

It was pretty last minute to cover another Freedom rave i was not supposed to, but one last minute call changed it all. And i'm glad it did. So i had to head back down to JB because Cookie got called back to spin for the last installment with Bass Agents and S Dee, when he was not supposed to.

But oh well, things don't always go our way.

Instead of flying, i had to sit in the car for 3 plus hours this time.

I get car sick quite easily.

This is Simon of S Dee, the Australian DJ we were with, whom i have to say was surprisingly really friendly and FUN ;)

Seriously, all these meeting Australian DJs make me miss my time in Aussie and the country.

I'll be down soon!

We took him over to City Square, JB for lunch of Malaysian cuisine and to shop.

"You don't get prices like these in Australia"

I was pretty excited to shop too.

Teehee.

The boys messing around with their music in the room.

We stayed at Mutiara Hotel, JB again.

I've stayed at Mutiara so many times that now, i can even compare the rooms.

~__~

We had a couple hours to spare before Cookie's set.

All day and night, Simon kept commenting how vain i am.

So here he is, joining in the fun!

All the DJs had to autograph tags for their fans. Like the calendars i had to do for FHM.

We headed to dinner next door and Bass Agents + girlfriends joined us before Cookie and I had to leave for the club early.

I for one, never really like JB Discovery, probably i've always been a KL girl. I get a little bit too used to how KL clubs functions and always knowing where everything is and how it all works. But whatever's cool with JB peeps, is cool with me yo.

One reason why i hated the place, all the damn fogging.

So hard to take a decent picture.

Most times, i just stayed in the artiste room before Simon and the rest arrived.

Caught up with the Resident DJ and emcees of JB Discovery. Apparently one is from Kota Damansara. It's pretty cool catching up over beer backstage since the last time i saw them (which was the week before lol).

Cookie on the decks.

When Simon arrived, i was estatic!

I had to facebook him and guilt him into coming over early.

*evil grin*

They nicely gave out Bass Agents merchandize and the autographed tags.

Simon + Cookie.

Bass Agents.

The girls.

Charmaine. Jamie. Me.

Erm yea, i was tipsy.

Even though the night ended on a low note, here's picture of one of Cookie's fan for the fun of it.

Which kinda made me wonder why Cookie freely take pictures with his fans but months ago, he refused pictures with me.

Diu, i'm not special now isit?

Considering how late we got back the night before, we had to be up the next day to check out and head to Singapore for lunch with his mum's side of the family.

At Shangri La Singapore, *bigbigeyes*, it's damn pretty.

We didn't have much time to shop after but i was glad to be dragged around (and dragging that fella) to do some exploring. I saw just a little bit more. How one bridge can connect to a totally different world and culture. Which also includes the Sephora store (heaven) and the discovery of ROBOCAM!

Owh, and super awesome Ben&Jerry's ice cream.

kisses.

Durian Cake?

During lunch last week, i was introduce to this very homely bakery at Damansara Jaya. It's a very small and quaint but cozy bakery by this very lovely lady who just had a pure love of food. She taught me how to eat certain cakes etc etc.

The bakery is called Bon bon's and was intro-ed by a foodie, Rebecca whose taste i totally trust.

She was the one that told me to have Pork Burger at El Meson which was just heavenly!

Bon bon's is famous for having Durian Cake. I didn't get to try that though. I ordered Banana Crumble (left) and Walnut Brownie (right).

This cake shop is small and unassuming, but you'd probably be able to smell it before you see it, especially during the durian season. Their durian cake, made with carefully selected durians, has to be the most popular item here. You have to order in advance, or you won’t even get to sniff a slice. [KLUE]

Ended up pigging out on that in the office the entire day.

Bon bon's is not about fancy cakes like bakeries these days. They remind of of homemade cakes your mum makes that's just full of flavour and (partially) healthy.

I especially love the Banana Crumble, with fresh soft bananas mixed with crumbly and crunchy base and toppings. Everything was just right in all the right places. A mix of sweet and biscuit-y.

No regrets at all, that's all i gotta say. Do however share it as it can get a little too rich per portion.

Check out Bon bon's (Damansara Jaya)

Address: 22 Jalan SS22/21, Damansara Jaya, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

It's near the Atria.

All the above pictures were taken with the new Sony NEX3 which i got to try out as well.

...

Another note, something i'm working on at the moment.

Picture taken with Nokia 5800.

Of Being a World Class Scholar

I can tell you that my family is very academic oriented, like mad. Holding on to the belief that academics is everything. I have to agree, but only to a certain degree. Which is why you always see me out, doing different things and exploring. Not a single damn day i'm actually home to study, unless of course i'm rushing an assignments the very last minute again!

Working on improving on that.

Yes, i suck.

Being pushed to every possible scholarship ever since i was 17 has definitely paid off. Even though i grumble like mad, filling up so many forms, writing so many essays and going for so many interviews, i got a couple of call backs (but sadly not from Astro, the one i wanted) but i finally settled with Taylor's World Class Scholarship.

It's supposed to be some prestigious scholarship that only one person is picked for each course from the entire Malaysia.

100% fully paid tuition fees.

This means the excess money can be used for shopping!

*wink*

I had to be dressed in formal kay.

So i actually ran to Sunway Pyramid to get a pair of slacks during lunch break for that.

Each of us is sponsored by a partnering company in the industry. And trust me, these companies are BIG. I was interviewed by a director from Universal McCann.

Corporate partners include Loreal, Leo Burnett, Universal McCann, BMW Group, Deloitte and BDO.

And yes, my chinese name is Lee Suet Ling.
You may laugh now.
LOL.

What freaked me out the most is that the current semester i was in right when i was awarded the scholarship, i wasn't doing very well. But thankfully, my results showed otherwise.

Now that i have approx 90k worth of scholarship at stake, the pressure is on, people!

Just a couple days later, i was awarded the Chairman's award.

But sadly, the couple of thousand there will be going to my dad's account.

Sad, right?

Surviving on barely much allowance and cheques from jobs which comes in extremely late.

I'm back to being dead broke, thanks.

And you'd think i'd be given a car for that at the very least?

I'm still taking a cab everywhere i go.

sigh.

Top 6 Girls In Your List?

One reason why i've been feeling exceptionally old, it's because i see all these girls who are still competing in model searches when i think i've probably retired from that. In less than a month, i'll be 19 and i'm retired from this.

Just last Saturday i was invited to witness the 2010 Spotlite Teen Idol Search and trust me, some girls really do make me feel old.

The Semi-finals was held at Sungei Wang (where i dropped by early to do a little shopping first of course!) and featured the top 15 girls out of the hundreds that joined during the model search roadshows.

Remember my last post about how to join the A-look model search?

Well, this round, from the top 15 from all over the country, including Klang Valley, Ipoh, JB, and Penang, the judges will have to only put through 6 girls for the finals.

Only 6, to compete for the winning title as 2010 Spotlite Teen Idol.

(and get featured in the magazine!)

The set up was about 2p.m. when i arrived.

A-Look is the official eyewear for the competition. So other than to search for 2010 Spotlite Teen Idol, the search also looks for a guy and a girl to represent A-Look for their new collection.

Unfortunately, i was only able to make it to witness the girls. I really do wonder how the Top15 guys look like.

Total EYE CANDY.

DJs of One.fm became the Emcees for the day.

While waiting for the girls to get ready to step up on stage, the emcees entertained the crowd with prizes and jokes with laughter all over.

Damn semangat got fans to produce banner!

Woot!

The model search aims to look for someone that's fresh, has the look and definitely the personality that would be able to carry the brand A-Look and everything the brand embodies.

Someone who's trendy, fun and sassy.
