TFI Mongoose

Only 5 days left at work, and by work I mean internship. I only realized yesterday that I’m leaving soon. I’ve spent most of my time in that office, and I travel 1 hour +++ to just get to work and another 1 hour ++ to get home, sometimes up to 3 hours in total. When you make so much effort for work every day, you don’t leave the place without feeling anything.

Thank goodness that me and carpool partner Ken Tze/Alex take turns to drive. It’s nice to have someone in the car to go through the daily horrible traffic with you, even if he is sleeping. After the daily torture of at least 30 minutes of standstill traffic in Jalan Tun Razak, I’ve learnt to appreciate any traffic that is moving. Also, I think I might have turned into a KL driver, unfortunately. But KL drivers are really not all that bad, you’ll get used to it. I’ve only seen one car following behind ambulance thus far, and two more but that was near Jalan Bangsar.


One of the worst traffic, I think it was when SMART Tunnel was closed.

Oh, you might have heard of all those intern horror stories. Nope they do not happen in the office, so no, I only make drinks and buy food for myself.

Sometimes, I get to work out of the office. And when we have our own events, events that not even ~famous bloggers~ are invited to, we get to go. Although we usually help out if we go, but that’s only because we volunteer to. And contrary to popular belief, there IS an unglamorous side of working in a publishing company. It’s not all fun and parties.

I am so grateful for this, the great and friendly bosses, all in their respective accents, the intern gang (intern manager Jer Rei, crazy Sarah, slave Nidi and vegetarian-restaurant-owner simsimi Sim). And then there’s the non-intern but blur Justin, and (not-so) tweetnoob Juliana. Not to forget all the other stylish colleagues.

And so, my first ever internship and work experience in ending in 5 days. :( Mongoose is like my first love :’( I don’t want to get back to the real world!

#TFIFriday

PS: It’s Thank Fuck It’s Mongoose. :p From our April’s TFIFriday :D

Twinnie’s Farewell Present

Well, I’ve finally moved my lazy ass and transferred the pictures of the farewell present that was handed to twinnie. And then I edited it, sorta. :D

The pictures are taking forever to upload.

Anyway, just a warning, I’m really not a craft person :( and I did it last minute! :P So my handwriting is extra horrible :D also, I might not have included everybody. -_-

Compilation

And I TOTALLY forgotten that I printed TWL’s photo :x so I didn’t ask for his number and get his message :x The other one did not return my phone call, so… -_-

OH GEEZ, WHY IS MY HANDWRITING SO BAD D:

Farewells

Recently, two close friends of mine left. ;( Debbie went to Australia earlier, and twinnie left for Taiwan just last/this Sunday. The realization of my best friends not being here anymore hit me hard. It made me a very emotional girl that day, and I am missing everyone wtf. :(

We’ve had several farewells with Debbie, I can’t even remember how many there are in total, because I’ve missed some (and mixed them up). But I do remember missing a (or were there two? or was that another outing? wtf) laser tag session and a dinner. I was supposed to join for a dinner, but it rained that day and the traffic was so bad it took me 3 hours just to get back home. I would probably reach PJ at 9 if I went, and they would’ve starved to death so I skipped it. :(

The first farewell outing was Mid Valley (and our first laser tag experience) and then KLCC. It was the day before I started my internship, and due to the excessive running up and down the crazy slopes, my feet were torturing me for the next few days. We were supposed to play kites lol, but plan failed.


Debbie, Jen, Wen Yi, Jo Yi. :D


Us! :D


One of the “chips”.


This is in the briefing room, and all the kids we were going to play with. And also the TV with the instructions and stuff.


And the father and son there, the father is freaking pro.


I still don’t really get it.


The fountain thingy was off that day. :D


Me, Jo Yi, Zoey, Jen.


All of us, with Wen Yi and Debbie. :D

And the first dinner, they went earlier for laser tag (if I’m not mistaken) and I joined them for dinner after work. I parked my car in Mid Valley and took the KTM and LRT to work, and gosh the KTM riding experience was horrible. I hate it. I actually took the wrong turn to Mid Valley and ended up 1 hour late for work. D: Well, for Debbie. :p We gave Debbie our farewell present that night. Have to give credit to Jo Yi for making so much effort to get us together and make her a farewell present. :D It was a fun time making the present for her, although it did take us surprisingly long to finish it.



Debbie with the farewell present we made for her. :D



Something we saw in British India. Damn nice right? :D It’s quite Harry Potter-ish.

Our last farewell with Debbie was at her house. :D We went there to hang out with her a while before and after dinner. As usual, Zoey Wen Yi and Jen were late hahaha. And when Jo Yi and I arrived at Debbie’s, she wasn’t even home yet cause apparently her brother had forgotten about her and left her at some mall lol. We caught the beautiful sky with pink and turquoise colour. After dinner, we went to chill at her condo’s kids’ pool. Everyone got wet except for me and Debbie’s friend, because apparently I get sick easily so they didn’t bully me. I had to leave early because I had work the next morning, and Debbie wasn’t even there when I left wtf, so I missed the group photo session. ;( LIFE’S UNFAIR! Anyway, she flew off the next day.

I know she’s going to have a good life there, but I hope we won’t become strangers, or hi-bye friends. I miss her so much! ;(

And the one who on Sunday is a freaking jerk. He left me here! ;( MY TWIN! We had a farewell dinner and supper with him on Friday and Saturday.

Let’s talk about the dinner first. We’ve decided on The Pork Place a few hours earlier but we’ve changed it to Kissaten super last minute. It wasn’t exactly awesome, because my contact lenses were blurring my vision and I didn’t have an extra pair of contacts or glasses. Wtf and the group picture couldn’t even see me and Shreen! I expected that really, cause wtf how is that seating arrangement good for taking a group picture? Pfft! Yes I’m not happy, and I’m allowed to be unhappy. Well maybe it was a great dinner for him though :D


The only freaking picture we took that day that sucked. Pfft.

Oh and I made a farewell present for him. I was inspired by the farewell present we gave to Debbie. If that farewell present for Debbie didn’t exist, I would not know what to get or make him. So twinnie, you have my college friends to thank. :p

Unlike the one for Debbie, our gang had a lot more people and I am way too busy (and lazy) to get everyone together to make him one. So basically I made it myself wtf, and I’m not even good at crafts! Shreen and Vivian were supposed to help me pick the papers and maybe help me making it but they both ffk-ed me, one to go to her grandmother’s house and one caught fever. :O

I actually planned to give it to him on Friday’s dinner, but two initial plans failed, last minute-ish. Since I didn’t have the time or the materials to make it that night, I asked him for supper on Saturday instead so I could have more time. :p Luckily I didn’t give him on Friday anyway. :x But I got home at 8pm on Saturday, slacked a little and started rushing to make his farewell present. I only started to call people up to collect their messages for him after slacking wtf. I used 1 and a half hour and he had to wait for me outside for about 10 minutes I think. HAHAHA sorry. But pretty successful for a work done in one and a half hour! :D


This is my plan B, that failed. Too lazy to upload the successful plan C now.

The supper, we went to BK3 mamak and then Wiliam’s. It was my first time at William’s. Damn, it was disappointing! I expected more from William’s! The foods are expensive (no matter how good they are) and the ambience’s horrible! The menu is fancy but the ambience is even worse than BK3 mamak. -_- But for you twinnie, for you. But I did go home at 2am. :D VERY proud of that hehe.

Anyway, have fun there twinnie. You know you’ll still have to deal with me right? :p AND REMEMBER TO COME BACK!

So many love for this two VIPs in my life.

And I always have more pictures with college friends, not exactly sure why it’s that way.

Star Wars Ep. 1 in 3D

I went to the premiere (or so Sony Music Malaysia said) of Star Wars Ep 1: The Phantom Menace in 3D. I won free tickets from Sony Music Malaysia that afternoon, thanks! :D and so I asked Angeline to join me. :D

star-wars-episode-1-the-phantom-menace-3d
That is one ugly villain D:

They rereleased the movie in cinema but this time, with the annoying overused overrated technology called 3D. Well at least I got to watch the great Star Wars in cinema! :D

Seriously though WHY 3D :( I want to watch Titanic in cinema, but not in 3D. I mean, imagine how troublesome it would be for girls (and maybe some guys) to wipe their tears with those 3D glasses on. How anti-climatic.

The movie itself wasn’t very 3D, just more… 3D-ish I guess, but not very obvious and noticeable. Maybe 2 & a half D hahaha. The subtitles on the other hand, woah they really popped. The subtitles were the most 3D part of this rereleased movie in 3D wtf.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to watch this movie just for the 3D, but if you’re curious and you would die if you don’t satisfy your curiosity, go ahead. :D It’s not that bad, it’s bearable, and the movie’s still great. :D Ahh Yoda and little Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker are soooo cute! :D Adorable they are. Queen Amidala has the most dramatic wardrobe and make up artist ever and hair stylist ever.

PS: My ringtone is awesomeee!!! I’ve changed it to the theme song of Star Wars! :D It was a war between that and the Imperial March. :p Oh now with my awesome ringtone, call me as many times as you want! :D

Internship

I’ve started my internship with Time Out KL / Mongoose Publishing today (as in 13 February)! :D I have been pretty busy, and usually after work I’m just really tired. But I feel like blogging today, so here’s my belated internship blog post. :D I think this is going to be one messy blog post.


First day after work. :D I look SUPER DUPER pale and my dark eye circles are horrible too :’(

So, it was my first day! :D I was sooo excited and nervous and scared all at the same time. D: I was worried about being late to work, or getting lost on the way (and with all the jam I’d arrive super late), and about the people there, aka my future colleagues, the drivers in KL, the parking, my attire, and everything else wtf.


Missed the 2nd day, so this was on the 3rd day. :D

Well as it turns out, I should’ve prepared myself more for the KL drivers. Only one part, but that one part was freaking scary! We were barely moving but the cars were forcing themselves on each other. HAHA I mean, forcing people to make way for them wtf. THE CARS WERE SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER! There were 4 lanes, but 6 lines of cars. Some motorcycles were stuck and couldn’t move too, and motorcycles don’t usually get stuck in the jam with cars.

But anyway, cheers to myself for driving there and back without getting lost or into an accident. :D WOOHOO!


4th day :D

Oh back to the internship, so far so good. I honesty have no comment (yet). I’m not allowed to talk much about work. :D Anyway, I was introduced to everyone in the office, but wtf I couldn’t even remember most of the faces, just some faces and some names. They all seem nice, but intimidating too.

Oh Ken Tze, for some reason, came to lunch with me on the first day. :D Apparently there’s a food court inside the building.


5th day. :D

Everything went well until last Friday (except for Wednesday where the massive jam caused me to miss a dinner with friends :/ ). D: I was supposed to go to Mid Valley and park my car there, but wtf I was too used to taking the usual way to work, I forgot that going to Mid Valley was another way. D:

And when I realized that 30 minutes later, it was already jam everywhere. After finally reaching Mid Valley, I took the KTM and LRT to work. And thus, I was an hour late to work. D: An freaking hour late!!!

BLUR MAX OMG. :’( I mean like, who on earth so blur one wtf. Debbie, look at the trouble I went through just for you. :’)

Anyway, it’s always so jam I can camwhore and online/text/tweet, and eat. D: But with or without jam, I always have my daily karaoke sessions in the car. Music (and preferably songs you can sing along to) is essential to survive the traffic jam. :D


My 6th day and Ken Tze’s 1st day! :D

And today Ken Tze joined me at work today. Woohoo! We carpool, and it’s so nice to have someone with you through the jam. He’s actually quite impatient with the jam, I thought I was impatient, turns out I’m actually quite calm and patient LOL.


Super old and slow iMac, but cute. :D

So… this was what happened on the day we were interviewed by the editors of both Time Out KL and Malaysia, not about the interview itself. Didn’t want to waste the original blog post and pictures. :D

After interview, we walked from the office to KLCC to have some sort of celebratory lunch in Ben’s. We sat at the couch part and it was sooooo comfortable! And so many pillows! :D Oh and they had this card and table topics.


We only managed to read one that asked us if we would like to time travel to the past or future. Something like that.

What we ordered: beef lasagna and soft shell crab spaghetti (I think). :D They were heavenly, especially since I was starving. :P

After a very full satisfying lunch, we went to watch the movie Underworld Awakening wtf. At the ticketing counter, the person asked for our IDs to check if we were 18 and above wtf hahahaha! That was the first time I actually had to show proof to buy 18+ movie ticket. :D

The movie was nice, and I’ve only watched The Rise of Lycans. They had some disgusting scenes though.

At night, I went out with Feeq to have Nando’s.

He was supposed to come fetch me at 8pm and we were supposed to catch the premiere of Chronicle at Cathay Cineplex. But wtf he was so late I figured my stomach is more important than the movie. No regrets, stomach was happy. :D

#wongfu4lyfe!

Wong Fu Productions

I still can’t believe that I met Wong Fu Productions (minus Ted)! D: Got the hear them talk (even in Mandarin and Cantonese :O ) and hear them sing hahaha! They look pretty much the same in real life and in their videos.

Pardon some bad photos, I only used my iPhone. :D


With Zoey, Jen and Jia Jia. Wen Yi and Yin Li weren’t there yet.

Jen came to fetch me because she wanted me to accompany her to her aunt’s open house near my own house. After fetching me she realized that she forgot to bring Yin Li’s ticket hahahaha. So she had to go all the way back to her house to get them. Oh and in the end we didn’t go to her aunt’s open house because by the time Wong Fu 4 Lyfe ended, it was already very late.

M.E. Malaysia

Anyway, I went for both Mini Symposium and Wong Fu 4 Lyfe. I’m a communication student and I might be taking broadcasting, so why not go for Mini Symposium too, right?

It was pretty good, but the moderator was long winded. And the lecture theatre wasn’t even full. :O Guess people thought this would be boring or in Zoey’s case, someone else will be talking and they would only appear for a while. They were supposed to talk more about behind-the-scenes and technical stuffs, but the fans were more interested in the boys rather than the technical stuffs.

Phil Wang & Wesley Chan

There was a meet and greet session for Wong Fu 4 Lyfe ticket holders. Everyone got an A4 side poster, these were signed a few days earlier and everyone gets to go on the mini stage to well, meet and greet them.


The longgg queue, taken at different time.

Campus is usually super empty on weekends, it was a little weird to see the campus crowded on one part and the rest empty. -_- Someone mentioned that there were more Malay girls with tudung (headscarf) too LOL. Normally, it’s a bit rare to see Malay girls wearing that in Taylor’s.

Phil Wang & Wesley Chan
The crowd near the stage, and Phil & Wes on stage with Jin. :D

M.E. Malaysia staffs were selling merchandises somewhere else an hour or so after Mini Symposium. They ran out of stock a while before the meet and greet session even started.

Phil Wang & Wesley Chan

It was a little weird and too fast for us to take pictures with them and we had no one to help us take, so we didn’t. :( Right after we all got off the mini stage, Jin said he can help taking a video or photos. wtf Jin, Y U NO SAY THAT EARLIER?! But anyway I got a hug from Wes! I’m a happy little girl.

Wong Fu 4 Lyfe!
The ticket for Wong Fu 4 Lyfe! :D I exchanged my retarded ticket I bought from Sg. Wang booth with this real ticket LOL.

We went to have our dinner after that to fill our empty stomach. :( By the time we got to MPH the queue was already incredibly long. We were too lazy to queue up so we just waited near the entrance for everyone else to get in first. Ben Jie was one of the firsts in line. D: and he said I was crazy wtf pfft.


Our MPH. :D It was freezing cold in there wtf.

Wong Fu 4 Lyfe started with Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob. They have a very cute drummer!! :D I like their Cupid’s Fall, I didn’t know it was the song for Long Distance Relationship. :D

When Shawn Lee Beatbox was beatboxing, the speaker(s) went dead wtf. The place I was sitting at couldn’t hear properly. Who the heck turned off that speaker -_- But of course there was still at least one working speaker.

Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named BobOnce Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob
Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named BobShawn Lee Beatbox

This time, there wasn’t a moderator (yay!) and they just talked on stage. :D They reused some jokes from the Mini Symposium session -_- and some of the things they told us we already know from Mini Symposium lol. (because the fans asked earlier) But it was still pretty interesting.

Wesley Chan & Phil Wang
Wesley Chan
Phil Wang

Oh and they showed us the 2nd and half of the unfinished edit 3rd episode of Home is Where the Hans Are. I haven’t even watch episode 1! D: Spoiler level 99 -_-

Oh ya, they showed a video message from Ted during both sessions. :D He couldn’t make it due to some personal problem, and so he sent this video message instead. Which isn’t all that bad because the video is hilarious. He was talking as if he had already visited Malaysia hahaha. But still, TED Y U NO COME?! :(

Ted Fu

It all feels so surreal. Meeting celebrities always give me a weird feeling, like I’ve achieved something I didn’t exactly earn and the happiness will turn into some weird emptiness after the hype is over. D: All I did was to pay to see them. Usually I expect my life to be complete or to have some dramatic changes after meeting celebrities that I love, but I always get disappointed. :/

Wong Fu 4 Lyfe!
With Yin Li, Jen and our tickets. :D


Our presents for them. :D We got them letter blocks “W F P” and wrote our twitter handles on the letter F. We also thrown in a nice polaroid of 4 of us (excluding Wen Yi cause she wasn’t there yet :/ ).


The third polaroid. The first two failed -_- But still thanks, Jia Jia’s boyfriend. :D

Scumbag Travel Agency: PriceBreaker

This blog post consists of two parts, each written on two different days.

Jan 26, 2012.

I’ve had the most unfortunate luck with this travel agency called PriceBreaker. Apparently my mum got a special deal and it isn’t open to public or some shit. Not sure if whole agency is scumbag or just the tour guide. She’s scumbag level 20000000.

My trip to Korea was cancelled less than 30 minutes before we leave the house, with a text message from our scumbag tour guide. Nope it was not a phone call. She didn’t even dare to tell us that it was cancelled, my mum had to call someone else to know that our scumbag tour guide cancelled the trip.

Scumbag tour guide lied to us. She said that the flight was cancelled due to earthquakes in Japan. Lies! The earthquake happened the day before and it wasn’t serious enough to affect flights in and out of Korea. We called Malaysia Airlines and the flight was not delayed or cancelled.

Scumbag tour guide had the list and without her and the list, none of us could check in and go on the flight.

Apparently, after one phone call and a couple text messages, she went MIA completely. She refused to answer our phone calls, even from the numbers that she didn’t recognize, and she stopped replying messages too. When she does answer the phone call, she does not speak wtf. Bitch just left us hanging there with no confirmation about the cancellation, or any change of plans. Oh did I mention that she has a voicemail, so even if the call fails, they still charge us?

I really don’t know what’s her problem. The flight’s still on, the airports are open, she was in the airport herself. So, wtf is it? No apology, no explanation, avoided us and did not even confirm with us about the cancellation. How rude of her to not apologize or explain, she owe us at least that. Irresponsible bitch. My mum had to answer to other people and she didn’t even have an answer to give them!

Now we either choose to get a full refund, or MAYBE go on the 28th (also cannot guarantee that the same thing won’t happen again wtf). Seriously, bitchhh! A full refund is not enough! What about the money we spent on winter clothings? What about the disappointment and the full on panic when it was cancelled at the very last minute?

Please PriceBreaker, if you’re not a scumbag travel agency, at least hire someone responsible enough to answer calls and able to give an explanation. Preferably someone who won’t freaking cancel. Not some coward.

Feb 3 2012

So.. We (by we I mean my parents) opted to postpone (to Feb) the trip instead of cancelling it. I’d rather get the refund and plan another trip ASAP than go through hell again, but I don’t get to choose. Anyway, everything was going well I think.

Then today, my mum told me that someone reported the company to the police. Cause’ the package they sold to us and a bunch of other people are apparently for internal people only. And obviously we aren’t.

So when they reported to the police, the company was frozen. And so wtf second attempt to go to fucking Korea is cancelled again wtf.

Not sure if I should be happy about them being reported. They deserve it. If it was the tour guide’s fault, then they should’ve been more careful when hiring people. Especially since you are selling packages that are supposed to be for internal people only. I wonder if anyone sued them. :D On the other hand, now my trip is fucking cancelled again.

I don’t even care about Korea! I just need to go somewhere wtf. Fucking Price Breaker. Fucking tour guide.

My middle finger salutes you. _|_

Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year! :D

This year’s CNY sucks.

We were supposed to leave for a family trip on the third day of CNY. Instead, it was cancelled / postponed due to some unforeseen bitchiness / irresponsibility / laziness. Long story, that’s worth another blog post. Seriously, it ruined the WHOLE CNY for me.


This is me being sad wtf.

Granted, I was not excited for this CNY, but the first two days of CNY were fine. So was half the day of the third.

Anyway, I had reunion dinners with both dad’s and mum’s side of the family. We rarely have reunion dinners on the proper reunion dinner day. We usually postpone it or have it earlier. But this year, I had my reunion dinner with dad’s side of the family on the proper day! Grandma cooked and everyone gathered at our house, as usual.

Then we had our second reunion dinner and my first lou sang this year with mum’s side of the family on the first day of CNY. :D


Lilian :D


Brother 1 :p


Ian! We wore matching shirt that day hahaha!


Nicole :D


The lou sang LOL, and many glasses of Chinese tea wtf.


Some awesome durian.. snack?


It’s blur D: but Lilian took this :D


Brother 2 tried to photobomb wtf. So I just let him join in lol.

Feeq and Vincent came to visit on the night of 2nd day of CNY. :O Feeq came after dinner and I wasn’t expecting Vincent lol, cause’ Feeq just wanted to collect his book vouchers. -_- My first CNY visitors this year, be honoured! :p

Anyway, Feeq brought me to his friend, Botakai’s open house on 4th to cheer me up. :D But I did not know anyone there except for him. -_- It wasn’t as awkward as I thought it would be. :x They even left us in the house watching TV, while they all go out for grocery shopping. Anyway, so many people gathered for dinner (and lou sang woohoo!) and some CNY gambling, full of CNY feeling~ And his friends are all of working age, apparently I was the youngest there wtf (except for Botakai’s younger siblings).

Then on the 6th day of CNY, went to Shreen’s house at 11am to apparently do “CNY house hopping” but we ended up staying at her house and going to Pn Tan’s house only. Two houses. We took forever to decide whether we should go to Pn Tan’s house wtf. It was nice to see the gang and Pn. Tan again though :D Haven’t seen some in forever.


Gambling table :D


With Vivian and Syn Jie (Josh). :D

RIGHT after the leaving Pn Tan’s house I went home and got into Jo Yi’s car. LOL she got there before I even got home wtf. In fact, when she told me she was reaching, I was still in Pn Tan’s house. -_- And because of that, everyone left. :O

Jo Yi came so early! D: She said 5 but she reached my house at 4.38, and Jen’s open house’s at 7 -_- We went to Wen Yi’s house first but Wen Yi didn’t pick up her phone :( She was sleeping wtf.


Jo Yi & me while we were waiting for Wen Yi outside her house.

And when she woke up, we left, but we turned back to her house and she didn’t pick up her phone again. -_- Her doorbell doesn’t work either. Pfft!


Wen Yi’s dog, Rex. :D

And so, we went to Jen’s house and we were the first ones to arrive HAHAHA. Everyone else arrived after 7 actually. We were really too early.


They used the whole table to lou sang wtf D:


I wanted to eat this, but after seeing so many people lou sang for so many times… I didn’t want to eat it anymore LOL.

Oh we also gave Aaron (aka Papa See) his belated birthday present. It was so belated he didn’t know we sang the belated birthday song for him hahaha.
Here’s our family troll present. :D He used it to make coffee the next morning, just like a papa.

Aaron SeeI ♥ Dad mug
We ♥ Papa See! :p


“Family” picture, minus big bro Nazrin. :/


Group picture with Debbie! :D



Gambling session on the floor :D


Last picture, with Jen! :D Thanks for hosting the awesome open house :p

Okay I think I need to take back what I said about the cancelled trip ruining the whole CNY for me, it doesn’t really suck too. Just for a few days I guess. My friends made it up for me. :D Y U so awesome :’) Sadly though, there were very little angpows for me this year. :P They say the older you are, the less angpows you get. It’s probably true. :(

Of Year 2011

So hi! I haven’t been blogging for one whole year, I don’t know where or how to start blogging. D: But I thought maybe I should start with a summary of year 2011. :D It’s been a long but awesome year, and very productive too. Not all the pictures below match the paragraph, because I don’t have pictures for all of them. D:

Anyway, I started Foundation in Communication with Taylor’s University in January. When I first got there, I knew no one. foreveralone.jpg but then I’ve met a bunch of lovely people and the whole FICM bunch have been awesome.

These girls in the polaroid, we’re always arguing with each other hahaha. According to Jo Yi, we’re all stubborn. Debbie is the super hardworking girl, determined to get into Melbourne University, and this awesome girl got her wish! I’m so proud of her. :’) Zoey is not as nice as she looks, because she’s abusive to me. >:( She’s always bullying me wtf -_- Jo Yi & Wen Yi, I’m lazy :D but you know I love you! :D

I had my first sleepover at Jo Yi’s house! It’s a miracle, really, considering the protectiveness of my parents. It’s probably because my parents knew her when she slept over at my house. It was on the day she had her belated birthday party, and the next morning we went Pavilion to see Kyle Patrick. :D Kyle Patrick’s so tall and skinny and hot! So hot :D

Kyle Patrick @ Pavilion
I also got a Macbook Pro. :D I told my dad I needed it for my assignments, which was not a lie. I’ve been in love ever since. :D

I got my driving license and it took me MONTHS to finally start driving out a lot LOL. I even drove these girls out! And Vivian! :D Anyway, my poor parents had been my driver for a year. :x I also had a minor car accident. D: Part of the reason it took me so long. I guess I’m brave enough to drive alone now but I haven’t really get the chance to do that LOL. I can only drive to a few places though. -_-

Taylor's University Foundation in Communication Jan '11

I went to a club for the first time too! Well, kind of. I went to Vertigo when it was under renovation at 12 noon with my dad wtf, and went to Vertigo again for Hennessy NyX launch party. But that happened in 2012, oh well.

And then I also went to pubs/bar. :O Once for me and twinnie’s birthday, we went with our high school friends to The Library. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of that day. -_-

An Honest Mistake

Second time was for my music video assignment actually, we had to shoot the band while they perform live at The Laundry Bar, because they’re too busy. I guess it also counted as the first time I went to a gig. :D

I also went to Bukit Bintang to countdown to 2012! It was awesomee :D although crowded and a lot of douchebags spraying something, but it was an awesome experience. :D Not sure if I would want to go back there for another countdown LOL.

295750_10150213212667537_546832536_6223262_3765656_n320887_2346373783643_1379004648_32717870_521869_n
I nearly forgot, I went to “participate” in the I’m Not Stupid 3 / We Not Naughty movie as an extra. It’s a Singaporean movie, directed by Jack Neo. They came to Taylor’s for shooting. Honestly, it sucked. -_- It wasn’t fun, it was hot and there was a lot of waiting wtf. But Shawn is reallyyy cute :D

And I finally, FINALLY went to karaoke! For the first time in my life! :D It was pretty awesome. :D

Not to forget the two video assignments I’m very proud of. :D There was another video assignment, but it’s kind of embarrassing. :x Anyway, we really learnt a lot from doing these assignments. All the obstacles and problems were pain in the arse and freaked the heck out of me, but it was worth it. :D

On a sad note, my grandfather passed away this year. :(

I might have missed some notable events.. But anyway, looking back, it really has been a great year with a lot of changes. Life is good! :D I know I’m late, but happy belated new year, and happy Chinese New Year! :p

Light A Match, We Gotta Start A Fire – An Honest Mistake

If you have the time and/or the Internet, it’s best viewed in HD. We used stop-motion for the storyline part of this video, and normal video for the band parts.

Thanks again to everyone who helped. :D

Tell me what you think about it. :)
