BBQ for SK & Ade's Birthdays

No time to type out blog yet so look back here in a few days :p (also since no one wants to guest blog.. *HINT* *HINT*)

Meanwhile...

Top 10 things that went on during the BBQ (in no specific order)

1. CW & MY started the fire all by themselves!! (ok was mostly CW, but MY's presence was significant)

2. Everyone else arriving just in time for the food (ok ok, some were marinating the meat, preparing salad, bla bla)

3. Ade forcing WS to drink, and WS actually refused!!


4. Tossing SK into the pool!!! (as requested by Dennis :p)

5. Tossing Ade into the pool!!! (even though her mum SPECIFICALLY told us not to :p)


6. CW volunteering to be tossed into the pool (desperate-nye)!!!

7. CL mixing some alcoholic drinks, causing Ade, SL & HL to get drunk

8. CW's face turning like a lobster after only one bottle of beer


9. W & SK hogging the camera (there's suppose to be like 50 pics of them camwhorring but not all are posted in the album :p)

10. Taking this picture...

Happy Merdeka!!!

In the... erm... spirit of merdeka, here's a joke I came across online =P

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."

One week later, the Malaysian newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 500 metres, Malaysian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."

Proud to be a Malaysian...


Happy 50th Merdeka ;)

Pros & Cons of Working

For the "benefit" of those of you starting work / now applying / looking to apply for jobs, here are some pros and cons of the working life ;) But don't take our words for it, get out there yourself =P

Pros:
1. more freedom (really??)
2. get to stay out late without parents nagging!! (yea, i was out till 4am several nites and my mum didn't mind.. ok i was in office working, but still :P)
3. getting paid ;)
4. coming in to office at lunch time (only when you've had a late nite tho)
5. free dinners when we stay late!! (actually when i'm home for dinner, i don't pay also :p)
6. free internet access =P
7. I seem more free than the unemployed (quote Wai Shien: "Why do I seem to be more busy when I am the unemployed one? Oh I get it.. After I get a job I will be free.. I will have to work hard to secure a job first to be free")

Cons:
1. working till 4am (wth...)
2. have to pay for more stuff (when is my pay rise..??)
3. have to belanja more
4. less time to yum cha =(
5. leaving at 5pm is "half-day"

Rufina writing as May Yee:
"Pros:
~ Boasting to people by telling them I'm a high flying consultant and I deal with corporate strategies and other high-tech mumbo jumbo and watching their impressed facial expressions (when in actual fact I’m just a glorified photocopy assistant and ta-pau person of the day)
~ The ability to tell mummy that I’m working late (when in actual fact, I'm just shaking legs in the office and just ensuring my brother does the housework instead);
Cons:
~ Having to give pocket money to my brother
~ Wearing stockings"

Dennis:
"Pros: got money;
Cons: you spend more..
It really depends on what industry really.. hehe... if audit it's all cons la i think. HAHAHAHHAHA"

Adeline:
"Working broadens your horizon, opens your possibilites, and deepens your pocket.
However, it also narrows your outlook to life, shuts your social life, and shallows your values of life.
Not sure if this is funny, but you got to understand that NOTHING about work is funny!"

Dorinda:
"Pros: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Cons: panda eyes :("

Sze Yin:
"Pros: at least you know what to do everyday (working);
Cons: no free time."

Pooi Funn:
"Pros: you appreciate the meaning behind Fridays;
Cons: you appreciate the meaning behind Fridays."

My colleague:
"Cons: There's always more work than the salary we are getting paid;
Pros: The harder we work, the less likely we are to spend money, making it more seeming that we have plenty.
--> The Irony of Work"

Random Post 4.1 - Simpsons Movie

I'm just updating here for the sake of updating..

Went to watch the Simpsons movie on Saturday afternoon with Wen Bin, Wai Shien and Chung Wei.. (Although WB & WS already watched it before...)

Since I arrived first, I went to collect the tix which were booked by WS few days ago... I told her to "book the max number possible". Which by that, I meant 6 tix lar.. And since we didn't know which movie to watch yet (Simpsons or Ratatouille), WS went and booked for both... and as she misunderstood what I meant by "book the max number possible", she booked TWELVE tix for Ratatouille and TEN tix for Simpsons.. which meant 4 different bookings...

So there I was at the GSC counter in One U wanting to collect only 4 tix but the Simpsons booking number expired (10 minutes late only mah..). So they asked for the hp number... so just gave lar... mana tau, in the computer appeared FOUR bookings for TWENTY TWO tickets... pai seh mannnnnn (WS, I can't believe you put me through that!!!)

Anyways.. the Simpsons movie was quite funny.. I liked the first part where after watching an Itchy & Scratchy movie, Homer goes something like, "I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on tv for free! If you ask me, everybody in this theatre is a giant sucker, especially YOU!". Hahaha... Luckily we had free tix to the movie =P The rest of the movie was good too (mainly because was free for us :p)



Annoying things that happened during the movie:
1. Some guy in the front laughed so darn loud (like so "kua cheong")...
2. The person behind me kicked my seat several times (actually this happens to me a lot on other occasions -_-")
3. Some kid at the back kept repeating the dialogue from the movie... VERY loudly.. and his mum/friend/whatever kept saying, "-his name-, shut up lar!!!", also quite loud...

After the movie we took quite long to decide where to lunch.. (why is it so difficult to decide most of the time??? WS, you just decide larrr)
After lunch, WB went back while CW, WS & me just wandered around One U... Going back, I had to be driver to WS & CW...

Thanx, WB for the Matryoshka doll :p and for the UK Kit Kats which we shall all share during the "makan & minum fest" on Sept 1 (provided I can control myself for now =P)

Later that nite went for dinner with CE, Ade & Mich in Bangsar, as a little farewell for CE (on top of the farewell lunch we had last Sunday)... Ate mamak food since CE wont be having any of them in Taiwan.. Thanx, CE for the dinner ;)

So, Chee Eer, have fun in Taiwan... we'll see you back here in 9 months (if we cant afford a holiday to Taiwan before that =P). Hope you meet your dream guy Lee Hom (sorry, PL, WS & HL.. hehehe)

The things we do when we are bored...

Chapter 1:

Didn't have any plans at all for Saturday... woke up discovering that my whole family went out, including my bro with my car.. so I was supposed to be stuck at home..
Then CW message me so darn early in the morning (9.45am is early on a Sat, ok..) asking if wanna go find Dorinda for dinner... hahaha..
Since Dada lives ALL THE WAY in Subang, its a very very rare occasion that we go and find her... And most of the times when we tell her we wanna go find her or pick her up, she refuse to believe until someone actually turns up at her door step =P she thinks we're bluffing her... (now why would she think that?? CW and me don't trick her THAT often :p)
Then since got nothing to do whole afternoon, decided to follow CW to Sentral, and "hang out" at Ade's place (yea, life is soo sad...)
So went for lunch with Mich, Ade & CW and now I'm here in their house typing this because I have nothing better to do... hahaha...
And Dada just messaged asking if we were just talking crap bout going to see her tonite =P

Ade studying, CW contaminating her bed...

Ok shall continue this post later on at home...


Chapter 2:

I'm home.. I'm home.. its bout 1am++ now...
earlier on in Ade's place, we were chatting online with Bin Bin, trying to make him come find us at nite... but he was gonna have some family dinner in Cheras... asked us to yum cha in Cheras but we didn't want to.. asked him to yum cha in Sunway but he didn't want to...

So CW, Mich and me left Sentral bout 6 something to pick Dorinda for dinner (Ade decided to have dinner with another friend, abandoning us)... Jammed all the way to her house (ok, exaggerating a little :p but it was jam at some parts..).. So, Dada, you should feel touched that we came all the way just to find you =P

Decided to go to Sunway Pyramid for dinner and we ate at Manhattan Fish Market... And guess what?? Dorinda belanja us!!! for the first time EVER!!! hahaha... Thanx thanx, Dada.. too bad to others who weren't there that evening :p (now who else got their bonus and haven't belanja??)


After dinner, dropped Dada home and then sent Mich back to Sentral...
CW and me were heading back home but we decided 9.30pm was just too early.. so we were wondering who else we could bug that nite..

Called Bin Bin and we found out he was at Sunway after his dinner in Cheras -_-" SL wasn't feeling well that nite.. HL was out with other friends.. June had some other dinner.. PL was in US.. Called WS but she JUST left Ipoh.. THEN we thought of Chee Eer.. hahaha... who, btw lives in Cheras..
(and WB, we did not purposely "fly" to Cheras just because we found out you left already...)


Chapter 3:

The three of us just talked for a long while at CE's place... And you wouldn't believe what we did next..
I can't remember why.. but we decided to cut CW's hair!!!! yea, he said he needed a haircut and since CE is so into hairdressing now, we so semangat decided to cut his hair...
So CE took out her tools and we began... hahaha... oh, CE also plucked his eyebrows.. hahaha... So while she was plucking away, I worked with the scissors on CW's sides.. CE continued with the rest of his hair.. hehehe...

CE working like a professional :p


MY shaking from laughing so much while cutting CW's hair


Before & After

The "many" different hairstyles of CW's (ok, we couldn't really experiment much cos his hair was so difficult to work with for some reason :p)...

1. CE's fav... side parting


2. other side parting


3. the good-boy look


4. the.. erm.. fringe-in-the-front-look
yea ok, I'm not very good at naming these styles :p


5. the nerdy look


6. the twiggie-curl look (CE named this one, ok)

So people, start voting for your fav style from the selection above... hahaha... (Mich, please don't kill us if you dont like them >_<)

Thanx to CW for being such a good sport and for letting us have some fun that nite =P (CE's perfect parting gift.. hahaha)
