Scarlet Divinity

Supposed to blog about wild nights at barcelona n kbox with the salsa gang, but oh well...

Screw chronological order.

Gotta wait for some scandalous juicy pics from kenneth first anyway, haha...

So after a hilarious night at genting on Sat-Sun, I was already bk in the lab in on Mon, but I wasn't complaining since tt night was the office xmas party... had a whale of a time dressing up & donnin up hair-dos at Claire's before stunning the men at our table in our sexy slinky gowns... heck might as well be overdressed n beautiful than be underdressed n scruffy, haha....

Anyway had our dinner at the rooftop of Scarlet Hotel... absolutely gorgeous ambience and divine food... esp. when the 100 bucks/pax meal is provided for, hehe... how lucky is tt... well worth the free labor, lol

The view from the romantic rooftop Breeze restaurant...

n they were playing salsa music too..

there weren't anyone I could grab to dance with tho, damn...

And here are 2 smug-looking fyp students... who says it's not worth travelling out of campus eh? gsk rawks! *burp* :D

Alex is one lucky man for the night, with 2 gorgeous ladies at his side.... no wonder he's all smiles... note the huge Caeser's salad n yummy chocolate martinis...

Did you know he's my age now? At least I felt youthful, haha

Ed, my supervisor...

He's a serious man...

She sucks well...

He swallows better...

After a filling 3-course, the troupe rushed down to the bar for more boozing n fun...

Ben n I were the first to grab the plush pillows n never let go of it since... leaving poor Shab without one...

I swear my alcohol tolerance has increased from the Genting trip, with an improvement to a choc martinii, red wine, white wine, half a tequila shot and another lime-tasting shot... even Ed was impressed, haha...

Guess I wasn't having enuff of them judging from my greedy looks at Agnes's 3 diff types of drinks...

She got so high she attempted to snog an innocent Sherry, and when tt failed, she started attacked poor me with a pillow... but ahh, we're still good friends... *hic*

Ed with korean Sung... I told u he's a very serious man...

Jarrod: "I swear her boobs were that BIG...."

Mike, Claire and the bartender who couldn't give me a decent strawberry margharita, oh tt's a six then...hahaha

On the other side of the bar were posh high-back leather sofas with furry cushions... ooo a must in my future home.. lovely

Alex attempts a sailor pose... *squint*

At 2am, sweet Ben drove a knackered Sherry, Chrissy and James home while the rest were still enthusiastic to adjourn to another bar, this time with a Bollywood setting (not sure which, just know tt it's near Brewerks at Boat Quay)..

And of course they started gyrating to Indian techno on the dancefloor along with volouptous Indian chicks...

And of course my decent-looking supervisor was a fav among the ladies, since he got approached by both women and elves... naughty boy... haha...

It was an unforgettable night, a celebration any norm local company would ever consider.. which further emphasizes the fact that scientists and researchers can indeed work hard n yet make life enjoyable... an inspirational principle of life tt I shall live by...

So my last min change in fyp project is well worth it after all... absolutely thankful for tt :)

Genting Charades

6 sec school friends decided on a drive to Genting, a much awaited outing of sleepless boozing, laughin & crapping about after the memorably crazy '00 Port Dickson trip...

Our stars for the night (Left clockwise): E Hunt, Mei-Foong, Geraldine, Sherry, Jason & Thau Shen...




Jason was especially excited on our lil drive uphill... tho Mei-Foong was threatening to barf around, heh..

At least it got E Hunt's car crawling along fine...

Meet the 3 hot women sashaying to the hotel...

world peace, muah muah *wave*

A misty, windy, chilly day... perfect weather for a holiday full of fun... elevating everyone's already high spirits...

Full of enthusiasm, we eagerly rushed to our rooms in First World to dump our luggage and start partying... 902 for the gals, 904 for the guys and 903 as our private 'playroom'... tho Thau Shen badly wanted to share 903 wif one of the ladies... hahha no way boy!

Altho later tt night, ahem...

Bloody hell, all 3 rooms were still in a hell of a digusting mess, with cigs all over the table, the chair thrown on the bed, ketchup on the desk and floor, n messed up beds asa if the previus occupants had an orgy...

The things ppl do to a hotel room... oh man...

And nope the damn housekeeping weren't around until hours later... since genting was probably making money by stringing on manpower...ugh

Decided tt throwin snowballs at each other would be a good idea, so we checked out Snow World... not much space to play around with considering the size of the place, the throngs of ppl and screaming children infesting it, the soggy ice shavings (damn n i was hoping for falling snow), stinky sweaty jackets n boots...

But it was fun nevertheless with the company we're with, ice sliding and chucking snow down backs...

Here we have Geraldine aspiring to possess droopy ears while E Hunt's ears were so cold they turned all red n numb...

Also checked out Ripley's believe it or not and knocked ourselves out silly getting dizzy from the revolving tunnel, and making a total fool out of ourselves making all kinds of idiotic poses and waving at aunties and little boys thru a one-way mirror... until we later realised it was NOT a one-way mirror at all... hahaha...

Later of course we gals had to answer our primary instinct to shop and dumped the guys at the arcade to get a tops and dresses (doesn't really help when the prices are indeed the same as kl... argh can't help it heh)... Happy and laden with more bags, the group trudged on to the food court in search for cheaper food, but to no avail.. every damn meal cost about RM10 minus the tastiness, shit to think tt I left S'pore in hopes of getting cheap tasty food.. bleah...

Shown here are the proofs of dissatisfation... except for Thau Shen lah... he just eats anything...

Later on, after a few hours at the casino (nah i dun really gamble, suck at it)... we pretended to be typical tourists to blend in with the crowd, ooh-ing and aah-ing over every possible object or decor...

First the enthusiastic Jap tourist pose...

Second an attempt of a Chungking Express feel...

complete with motion blurred background...

Third the rowdy American bloke, taking a piss at a tree...

Some decent shots of the indoor theme park...

brings out the inner child in u, innit?

Omg, this pic totally freaked us out when we saw white ghostly entities on the screen... until E Hunt pointed out it was also drizzling then... cehhh

And FINALLY the rooms are cleaned... not tt it mattered much anyway, coz we eventually turned the bed into a drinking table and a giant kuaci container... This was when we started going bonkers playing all kinds of drinking games to finish the bottle of Absolut Vodka... silly card games, and the ultimate game of charade...

We all almost died laughing at the ridiculously attempts of imitating Monica Lewinsky (someone kept miming a blowjob and the guys started revealing their fav porn stars), William Hung (she bangs she bangs!), Big Mama's House (gotta show some big boobs aye?)

Can't help it... beggar or baboon? hahha

Yup one whole sleepless nite of guffawing and giggling... eventually everyone started dozing off, all squeezed in the playroom... going, going, gone...zzz

More bohliau shots...

only caught suddenly-shy-Thau Shen (who's usually shameless, haha)

6.30am the 4 of us went down for breakfast buffet, leaving zonked out Mei-Foong n Thau Shen (again) alone in the room... bwahahaha...

Unfortunately nothing happened tho...

Breakfast was not too bad, at least they had cereal :D

Jason then decided to take more shots of the sky to catch the sunrise while the rest of us dragged ourselves back to sleep at 7.30am...

First the lovely pink-blue sky

And finally a peek of the sun...

Went bk in the afternoon the next day & finally had decent food (dim sum, mmm) at Sri Petaling... then back home to finally meet mum n dad :D yay...

All in all , a great weekend indeed... shall look forward for the next gathering soon hopefully... maybe xmas next week :D

Insane Busyness

Been absolutely busy this week rushing daily from lab to churn out data before my colleague leaves for UK on sat, to band practice for Overdrive competition audition, and finally to Shi Li's for late-night diva post-mortem & practices...

Not a very healthy lifestyle sleeping 2-3am to rush off for work again innit... Was so tired I caught myself nodding off on the way back from lab, and refusing to leave my bed today lazing about doing absolutely nothing... oh feeling so spineless...

Yes realised I have a million & one things to blog about... will probably start the tedious process of uploading the many many crazy pics next week... so for now, do settle for a summary of the post-exam celebrations:

1. Eski Bar & Geylang trip with project mates
2. Barcelona & Kbox outing with madcap salsa gang
3. Sinful Fullterton choc buffet with giggly neighbors
4. Soon-to-be Genting weekend trip with sec school gang


Audition's tomorrow afternoon, wish us luck! Hope we'll make it to the finals at Momo...looking forward to the free clubbing entrance rather than the prize actually, haha... and no, we dun even freaking know what the heck it is... oh well, at least it'll be good exposure in preparation for JamX...

Couldn't find any form of videoclip of Omnisoul's "Waiting (Save your life)"... wasted... it's something about the riff, the feel and the lyrics that just keeps the song replaying in the head... makes you feel somewhat melancholic yet hopeful at the same time... oh well, maybe it's just my mood heh

Back to Lab

One day after the final paper and I'm back in the lab, fiddling around with more rat organs...
Wouldn't really mind it if I don't have to drag myself out of bed early in the morn everyday :o(
Oh well, all for the love of fyp (yeurgh)

Had our first meeting with the jamx band...
Finally settled on the 2 measly songs for the overdrive audition after 2 whole hours of warfare and bitch-slappin (ok mainly btw vic n i, wat's new, haha)...
Aretha Franklin's Respect & Christina's Fighter...
Woo, will be fun doing some powervocals with Shi li...
Shall hope for the other bands to be lousy enuff to allow us entry to the finals, haha...

Wanted to blog about my marketing proj on PE, but tt'll wait...
What's tt you say?
Wait n see...

Burn Thy Books!

Bwaahahaha...

Gonna make a merry merry bonfire out of me notes...

Watch out neighbors if the wildfire starts spreading to your rooms...

Pardon my brain, they kinda turned to mush a while ago...

Slept 7-10am, with 1pm & 5pm papers to boot...

Wouldn't be surprised if it's all a slurpee now eh?

Can't bother to worry more about the papers already...

All over and done with...

If it's screwed, then screwed it is :oP

So went on a spontaneous celebration of freedom with Olea & David by hopping on the next bus to Bishan to watch "Just Like Heaven"... I could still feel the malicious looks when we were shouting our plans out across the dining hall, lol... Like I care, it's high time we end earlier then you engineers man.... No there weren't any others at Lido and Cineleisure because it has been running for months... tt's how outdated we are eh?

Anyway the movie itself is unexpectedly good with an interesting twist on Weetherspoon's spirit (save a few 'wutttttt' cliche moments) since I was expecting a typical cheesy plot... Not like I wouldn't watch it anyway since I am inevitably a sucker for romantic comedies... It wouldn't hurt to escape from the harsh and sometimes bitter reality of life just to indulge in a lil moment of whispered dreams, magical bliss and happy endings once in a while... At least it leaves me with feel good vibes... So yeah you outdated ppl out there, go watch it...

Righteous...

Oh what shall I do this week...

Still wondering if we should indulge in tt totally sinful Choc splurge at Fullerton (frowns as jiggly bits again, shit... shall jog tomorrow)... Ah we'll see how, but I'm all game for the Exorcism movie, tho I predict the whole cinema stoning us since we would be making a hell a lot of noise screaming and erm, guffawing hysterically... haha... Trust us to turn a scary movie into a chaotic madhouse....Oh love thy fruitcake neighbors...

Didn't do much for the past few weeks of course, missed 6 salsa lessons already, and my feet are itching so much to dance again, they can't stop twitching...

Did attend Yingyi's JC's Christmas Carol production (remarkably executed really, highly impressed with the dialogue and the acting, and the lead's cute! too young tho, damn)...

A bit of rock climbing (still as bad as ever, spent more time bickering aroud and running off to a yummy high-lipid indian meal, oops)...

A bit of Harry Pottering (the night Before the premier night itself... fast or what)...

A bit of network browsing: many many House, Lost & OC series...

Funny how you tend to be more boh liao or procrastinate more when you ought to be mugging... But oh well, exam stress does do wonders to the human mind, doesn't it?

Ok, blog's getting wordy... shall end with Olea's quiz...

wanted to know what kinda sec school gal I would have been over here...

And wuttttt... SCGS???

Should I take bitchiness as a compliment then? Haha

P.s. I still prefer ACS guys

SCGS
You're a very hard nut to crack.. stubborn and
sometimes a little bitchy.. you at one time or
another, wear your school tee over your pinafore.
Situated between ACS barker and SJI... you'd still
pick SJI guys...


Wad girl's school should you be from?

One More Day

Just one more day...then it'll be over...

Have less than 24 hrs to cram marketing concepts and chinese characters into my crummy little brain... and still bloggin', bleh...

Heh yes someone's been attempting to reconnect to her Ceena grassroots... and concluded tt no one should EVER weedle a single chinese word out of her... she'll just retain the ABC-wannabe banana title lah :oP

Oh can't wait to go outttt....

Been trapped in this dingy room guzzling buckets of coffee (a newly acquired habit for someone who never appreciated it, sighhh) and accumulating blubber for too long already...

Better start attempting to shed 'em jiggly bits soon, before returning home unrecognisable to the family... haha

Ahem.. yes.. where was i... chapter 8?

Sigh...

Traumatized

2 words for today's exam:

F**KED UP

The paper... The given figures... AND The blady stats lecturer...

I'm so screwed, never had such a bad semester ever,

even with just 3 freakin' modules...

Have been so stressed up I haven't been much of myself lately...
Guilty... Shall behave now...
Nice's the word...

Reinspired

A very beautiful inspirational ppt...
Courtesy of karinizumi@yahoo.com.br

Just had to get it compiled and shared with everyone, since I'm sure sure we've all been thru such difficult & challenging times before...

How apt it is as well for this time of the sem, when anxiety levels heighten, patience grows thin and emotions run high...

Grateful for the needed motivation to laugh again and look at the brighter side of life...
Hope it would've touched you guys too :o)

To click or To fry

Just can't help it, heh...
2 brilliant games to start the day...
Enjoy!

The first my fav point-n-click (a short one tt is)...
Look around for some dough to pay the Godfather...

Free Flash Games

The second is perfect for the sado frustrated ones out there...
No ants this time... Use your giant magnifying glass to fry ppl & cars...
Ooo how nice...


Free Flash Games

Neighborly Lurve

Did this collage for my dear final 4th year neighbors...
Felt all nostalgic compiling them while I was rummaging thru the countless memorable pics taken for the past 3 years...

- - -

The first year of ridiculous 6am IBG trainings that initiated our bonding...

The late nights spent chatting (or rather crapping) about...

The regular choc/dessert sharing sessions (i.e. fat distribution program :oP) tt always seem to foil our weight-losing attempts...

The notorious roars of laughter from the "Noisy Wing": daylene's unstoppable high-pitched guffaws, farah's & my sudden outbursts, olea's alto cackles, ophe's & liyi's soprano laughters, felie's hurhur chuckles, cj's, dandan's & jiayun's somewhat more civilized giggles...

The rare and ever-delayed neighbors' outings (50% attendance would be considered a success)...

The many DnD moments late-night practicing for my 1st year pageant item, burning & double-sided taping cloths to conjure up suggestive harem ladies or kinky snow white & 7 dwarves costumes (well, the lesser the better, since we were on a budget anyway, haha)...

The years of rag dances enduring backaches, blisters, absurd body paintings, skimpy costumes & stripteases...

The ever-elusive "Swimming coachings for sherry" program... when ah?? (ok maybe I should contemplate achieving washboard abs & chopstick legs to squeeze into them skimpy bikinis first, lol)...

- - -

True, I haven't been much of a block/hall resident for some time... Had surrendered to the fact tt I simply don't possess the inhuman stamina to endure those countless activities and yet attend lectures w/o falling asleep or going "huh?" every 5 seconds; decided instead to switch to the Selective Enthusiasm mode before I collapse from breathlessness...

Call it getting old(er), being a chao mugger (tho it doesn't really justify the cap, haha) or just being plain lazy/boring...

Whichever the case, I feel fortunate enough obtaining sth meaningful out of hall-life, particularly the special bond shared with these special babes... since I'll always be assured knowing they'll be the ones understanding & not being judgemental of my disposition and my rationale for doing the things I do... and most of all, being there when I needed sound advice or a shoulder to cry on throughout an emotional rollercoaster ride of self-discovery...

Thanks for everything dears, hope our bond will be as strong as ever even after we've turn grey-haired n wrinkly 40 years down the road aye? Heh :o)

Salsa Wriggles, Tennis Humps

Salsa Wriggles

Video time!

This is for you curious ppl who has been wondering what salsa is...
This is a sneak peek competition-style

(i.e. damn zai standard, none of us is near there, haha... but these are the ones tt did inspire me to pick it up... after watching "Dance with me" and "Shall we dance" tt is)...

Haven't found any on social salsa, which is what we are more capable of, since it basically encompasses guys figuring out what moves they wanna do to the gal, and the gals just err, following their lead (i.e. figuring what the heck they're doing, haha)... and yes, minus the jaw-dropping stunts you see i assure you...

Club Mayan 2005 Salsa Competition

Tennis Humps

This for the tennis enthusiasts, or wannabes like me heh...
It's Jamie Foxx's tribute to Serena Williams at the ESPY 2004 awards...
Top scores for creativity, lurve his lyrics & humps heh...

Absolutely hilarious...
Now who wanna be my tennis ball? Bwahaha

P.s. She IS huge man, *shudder*

I Wanna be Your Tennis Ball

Panadollies

Just had this guest lecture on pharmaceutical marketing...
Senior brand manager of Panadol from GSK...
Inspired by her motivation & enthusiasm to pursue sth other than being stuck behind a tiny dispensary packing pills, printing labels and entertaining grouchy (sometimes even abusive) tai tais...

And best of all came bk with a whole lot of Panadol freebies...

1) Box of Panadol Actifast & Extra from a pop quiz...
excellent prep for the Pain we pitiful uni victims will be going thru these few weeks...

2) Lotsa brochures...

3) And 2 Panadol tees precisely echoing my current toughts:

I've got PMS
What's your excuse for being a jerk?

I'M IN PAIN
Lookin at your face makes it worse

Bwahahaha shall wear the former to the next salsa fiesta to shove it into any disgusting, balding, pot-bellied twerp's face who dares to get too touchy for comfort (with a few kicks to the vital areas of course)...

The latter shall be reserved for the research methodology paper (absolutely despise the friggin' module to the core... the shitty lecturer can't even differentiate concentration from the castration of a drug...argh)... so tt his beady eyes can finally see for themselves and comprehend the pure torture we undergo by even merely touching his hideous collection of incomprehensible scribblings...

Oooh the pain...

Panadol... I like...

Happy Saggy 2037

Ever wondered how famous Hollywood celebrities with their irritatingly perfect figures, flawless gleaming skins and sickeningly dazzling smiles would look like without the tonnes of cash, gym trainings and botox invested in them like us mere mortals do?

How about coupling that with 12 years down the road?

Pics contributed again by dad...

Courtersy of www.worth1000.com

Sometime I wonder why he seems to have more wacky, happening friends than I do...

The leading wrinklies...

The rebel grandmas...

The saggy divas...

And my fav bimbo... she still wears pink!

Jolie still looks gorgeous tho...

Not to forget those manly sex god baldies...



Ahh, one of the motivations to master photoshop...

Decided to test my skills extrapolating my own looks...

Drumrolls pls...

Must be the exam fever...

So friggin' stressed I'm just goin' mad

Orangehead

Hahaha... got this off dopey's blog...
Hmm weird eh, explains why I was sabo-ed with the curly blonde wig...
Maybe I should be an orangehead this time?
But then again, my reds had somewhat faded to an orangey tint...
Say they suit my funky/nerdy specs better now?

Your Hair Should Be Orange

Expressive, deep, and one of a kind. You pull off "weird" well - hardly anyone notices.

What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?

Scars

Got this mother-of-all scar a few days ago...
Shall not display it in the interest of the squeamish & faint-hearted...
Nor shall I need more looks of pities or naggings...
Had an overdose of TLC on that day itself... from a bunch of mortified salsa pals to the empathic uncle at the bus stop, even the shop vendors offered first aid (but ran out of antiseptic, hmm)...

Touched, but no biggie, really!
Pretty proud of it in fact, like a child displaying trophies on a shelf...
Prob coz it was well earnt from my blading stint which haven't been pursued for like a million years, haha... An accomplishment of course for an absolut couch potato... Tho I can't do anything more than moving in (only) straight lines or tumbling about...haha... Oh but it was worth the fun and the (almost elusive) tan... Ok fine, maybe I'll contemplate kneeguards in the future...

But I digress...
Anyway went on to recount past scars/injuries...
Concluded that they were all witnesses of comical misadventures... and unfortunately not heroic tales of saving ppl from burning houses, surviving shark attacks nor diving for a victoric game point... So life is pretty safe and boring, just that the person living it is accident prone, haha... oh well, at least there'll be something to laugh at...

The Hall of Fame:
1) 3 Scars from running after the bus (after tennis Practice, of All times)... above left knee, below and above right knee
2) Said blading scar... below left knee (thus completing the set, heh)
3) Childhood scar from bumping into corner of stairs, while running up again... corner of right eye, 3 stitches (any closer would've gone blind)
4) Twisted right ankle frm tennis (or wassit 1 month ballet stint? haha)

Wonder where the next one will be?

Maybe I should try out which locations & shapes would look best eh?

Halloween Nights

Office Halloween Party

Couldn't make it that night since I was at Yingyi's party (scroll down for more)... But I couldn't help myself from uploading these entertaining pics of the same intellectual, PhD/Master's degree chemists and biologists that I've been working with for the past few weeks... Makes me feel even more lucky doing my FYP in such a warm, colorful (and sometimes wacky) environment...heh

These guys do know how to rawk... Almost every weekend you'll see them holding house warming parties, booze sessions at New Asia bar or buffet outings around the country... And the next day you'll see them calmly preparing wax shavings, culturing kidney cells or picking rat brains... Haven't had the opportunity to join them, but I soon will, considering the fact that I'll be in the lab everyday after the finals... sigh...

The happening peeps: Mentor Aveline, Supervisor Ed & wife



Star of the day: Playboy bunny Alex & Serial killer Mike...
Check out his sexy lipstick, tight bare ass and huge balls (well hidden by the skirt, unfortunately)...

Alex's so gorgeously hot he got Ben nosebleeding...

Ben: "Aaaaaaahhhhhh... come to me Big Mama!"

(They were the original buttcheeks, but they still made great boobs!)

The red hot devil babes...



L: Devil Claire meets Angel Claire...
R: Zeena, Chrissy & Shabina



L: Tiny Christian lookin so cute in his DIY Kermit costume... love the pingpong eyes!
R: The Boss himself... Gorilla Man






Yingyi's Bday

Yup that was where I was then...
But at least we had our share of devils and zombies while shopping for her present at the Heeren with Eddie and Porshee...

Kinky Scottish Ram?
One of the many interesting characters terrorising the shops and restaurants at Orchard.. this was at NYDC Heeren...

Tickle the grouch... if you dare...

After hours of searching... we settled on a "b'day package": some nice pink lilies (since they're her fav flowers)... a b'day cake... and a sexy lacy top fit (read: secured by a thin band of lace at the back... top was Eddie's suggestion, really!)... the closest we could get to gold (her fav color, that was damn hard to find man, haha)... we postulated that with that itty bitty top of hers, she could jump any clubs w/o an identity check, haha... Yes, only 17!! Man, don't I just feel old...

Yingyi all touched and surprised by the cake...
Too bad she wasn't well, would have gotten her wasted heh...
Happy bday babe, muah!

We went to Chico's and Charlie's, a Mexican restaurant with great ambience and dining (like tacos and salsa dips), fabulous live salsa/merengue/bachata music by a band that were once invited to perform along with Eddie's salsa group in front of the Brunei prince... So we had the time of our life chilling out and dancing to great music :o)

The gang... and The band...



Yingyi and I...



Bday gal and her guys...CW: Peter, Porshee, Lawrence, Eddie



Candid pics with Porshee n Eddie...

Poor Yingyi had to leave for home after that, under mum's orders...
Leaving us to catch a midnight movie... wanted to watch a horror show to commemorate Halloween's, but there wasn't one.. hmm... oh well...
Legend of Zorro wasn't really tt bad... tho it was draggy at times, and more slapstick than action (but I like, haha)... and Antonio's not as hot anymore, sigh... he's aged and piled on some pounds, same for Zeta Jones...

Nm.. shall compensate with Harry Potter soon... haha.. hope it'll be as good as the previous ones
