Hands on FIRE!!!!

My hands are currently blazing with a constant prickly heat thanks to waking up this morning with a sudden realisation that I wanted to cook today and then proceeded to chop a whole load of chilli to put into my tuna mix for the tuna sandwich.

Yesterday was a busy busy day.

Lunched and shopped with Ingga..Mae came all the way to my place by herself and I picked her up at the bus stop. Had coffee and cheesecake with the both of them before a reading.

It was Chris' 21st at night, but at the same time, my cousin was gonna be at The Bank just down King St...so basically, I was expected to be at two places at night. I went for a quick one at The Bank, hoping to finish off at Chris' party so I can just pop back into my room to pass out.

Said a quick hi and bye to Chris on my way out when his party was just starting, and by the time I got back to the party an hr and a half later, he was not there anymore. Poor guy passed out.

Quickly got myself a few cups of drinks to get myself a little buzzy.I don't know if its the fact that the punch was a lychee+goon+tequilla+etc mix (which tasted really good) or that I havent had drinks in FOREVER, but anyhow, it didn't take much to get me buzzed.

Anyhow, spent the time with Mae and Ingga, 2 fabulously wonderful girlfriends who provide quite the entertainment!!! VERY unfortunate that Mae had to go home. Seriously, Mae, you can come bunk!!! Anyway, will let some pics do the talking.

That was back at the party before we left to see Mae off to the bus stop.

Mae had to get cereal otherwise she'd starve the following day. We did what girls do best when there's a bus stop and ALL the time in the world!!!
Ingga looks SOOO CUTE here!!

Gotta love Mae!!! Look at that smile!! :)



Ingga and I headed back only to find the party dead. So we hung out with a whole bunch of ppl outside the party place. Here are a few of them.


The MU Fan.. The *newly single* Liverpool Fan.. The Non-Football Fan

The Cricket Fan

We decided to leave, and decided to mark it with our last few pics..
Ingga pout.

Shuen pout. Shuen should just leave the pouting to Ingga.

All smiles!!!!

I just came to a sad realization that I can pose so much better when I'm tipsy.

Obsession

A foolproof way to win money at the casino popped into my mind and I had to call everyone up to find a flaw with it.. apart from the fact that it takes hell lot of a time and money to actually make money.. I'm so excited! might see if I can experiment with it and find if it really works.. :P .. but i don't like gambling.. so I might let other ppl try it and see if it works..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MisComm

That was the theme for tonight. First, with a recipient of mine at my shift, Paul, about his one time at a really really good massage place. Secondly, with old friends over dinner.

I'm too tired to go over details.. its more of a note to myself just to remember what happened today.

What a night.

Busy with my work, and then was supposed to meet up with Andrew, Winnie and the lot, but I never got there. Instead, pushed forward the meeting with Sean(21st bday!), Vin, Sina so I didn't have to stay up real late.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blabber blabber

I just got shushed in my lab just now by my demonstrator!

I was about to answer his question coz he wanted someone from 'THIS AREA' *points to my area* to answer it.

But when I opened my mouth he went..
'No, not you.. you've talked too much..'

O_o

I've never got shushed since.. FOREVER! Aren't they supposed to be happy they're actually getting a response? Coz I definitely can't stand the silence when no one bothers to answer during a discussion and I was only trying to guess answers (had no freakin idea what the prac today was about), so he can actually tell us the answers, everyone's happy, and we can all end early.

Thats probably like.. lazy person participation..

At least we had a good chuckle about it

Night blabber

Just felt like writing for a bit before I go to bed.

Another day gone. Just like that. Could've studied, could've done some homework. And yet again ended up wasting all my time doing nothing, going out, watching tellie.. where's the motivation?

Will be going back to labs and lectures. Which reminds me.. I never knew how comfortable my lecture seats were til I fell asleep in one the other day for a good hour. They're cushioned, and the shape fits just right. Felt quite rude falling asleep right in front of the lecturer. I was sitting right in the front row (I was late), under, or should I say, right in front of the lecturer's nose.. and I fell asleep all through his lecture! I'm having him again tomoro.. hope I keep my head upright and alert!

Wish me luck! I need lots of it!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel like babysitting a cute little adorable good baby for a day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ONE

That one hug when you need it most from someone who never hugs you is so significant.

Then when that hug becomes a routine, it sorta feels like a necessity.

And one day, when that person doesn't give you a hug, that one un-hugged day is again, very significant.

Funny how things work.

Ever Elusive Person


Photo taken last year at Hunter Valley

MR. SIEW CHEE YOONG has been found!!!

I had dinner at Makoto, Chatswood last night after my shift there. Was good to catch up, see a familiar face in unfamiliar territory. Only realised that Chatswood was close to CY's when I was buying the train ticket to get to my shift and saw the stops. The only shame was coz I thought about it so last minute, Amanda couldn't come.

Will probably catch up with the pair again sometime in these two weeks. It only just has to be a last minute call, apparently.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lovely weather

I never thought I'd ever say this but I've been loving it!

The weather's wet, and cold-ish.. absolutely love the temperature right now!!!! Love the idea of staying in my room with my warm lights, warm bed, good ole laptop and a hot cup of either hot choc or tea.. LOVELY!!!!!!!!

I might just curl up with a book. Maybe Sherwood's Human Physiology : From Cells to Systems!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A whole week of 21sts!

A party Friday night for Sean's 21st.
Another one on Saturday for Chris' 21st.
And if I remember right, Zoe's 21st is coming up either this week or next week.

I can't wait for a BIG 21st. Like one with a ball or a costume party or something. Now, THAT would be wicked!!!!

Happy 21st Birthday, WK!!!!!!


The last time I celebrated your birthday with you..

That was 2 years ago at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng at SS2.



The last time I saw you..

That was 16th July 2005, almost two years ago.


I miss you big guy. I miss you for all the times you've been there. I'm pretty sure I've said this a lot of times, but I really appreciated you being there for me, providing me the emotional and moral support when I was down, and taking on the role of big brother to reprimand me.

When will I see you next!?!???!?!?

*hugz*

Remember me k????


Lots of love,
Shuen

Its raining.

I'm in my PJ's, sitting on the couch holding a hot cup of tea watching tv with a complete backdrop of the gorgeous view of melancholic rain outside.

The only thing that can top this would be having that certain somebody right here to cuddle up to.

Then I'd wish time would stop.

Why oh Why

Sometimes you make me angry,
Sometimes you make me upset,
But how can I resist you?
How can I resist that cute voice of yours?

The vulnerability,
that cute small kid voice voice of yours
when you tell me your insecurities
and that you're scared.

You make me go 'Aaaaww..'
You put a smile on my face even when I try my hardest to be pissed.

Why oh why do you have to be this adorable
that I fall prey to your charm?
Or even more, fall so deep in love with you?

300 in 3D (so many 3's)

Damn.. All this while, I thought that 300 at the IMAX Theatre was 3D. Was damn excited to go, until John and Alex burst my bubble!! And yet again, they had fun laughing their heads off at my expense!!!

-_-

Why can't they have real movies in 3D?
Why do they only have 3D cartoons?
Not that I'm sick of cartoons or anything.. I still think they're awesome, but they should have more 3D variety, right???

Spiderman 3's showing at the IMAX on 3rd May, but why can't they show these movies in 3D?? I don't mind having to watch them a month later! 3D effects would be soooooo coool!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TGIF

So, I was ready, all dressed up and everything to walk to uni in the dark for a Msian Society MFest entertainment volunteer meeting at 7-9pm on Friday. I usually step into the unknown myself. But this time, for some reason, I decided to txt Daphne to see if she was going.

'You mean the meeting NEXT friday??'

*slap on forehead*

Luckily I didn't walk all the way there into a creepy empty building. Uni's pretty scary at night you see. And its quite a distance to Holme Building. Silly me!

Celebrated my first Friday night in by getting chips, juice, and choc over to Ingga's and sat on her bed watching SATC.

Bliss!!!

I'm really excited about volunteering for the entertainment stuff at this year's MFest. Its gonna be my last one, if all goes well at uni, and its my last chance to participate in it. Besides, its apparently gonna be big this year considering how its gonna be the 50th anniversary or something.

They're gonna have dance, fashion show, drama.. and I wanna do all of it!!! :D :D :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel's Party

was at Scruffy Murphy's yesterday.

I almost didn't go. Wasn't in the mood. But a few txt msgs from angels, and after more than 2 hrs contemplating, I finally decided to drag myself to the city.

Boy, am I glad I did!!!!!

I hadn't realised how much I missed dancing and clubbing!!!! It was like, the music just shot through my veins and I was suddenly whoooshhh..RE-ENERGISED!! Went mad with dancing around.. just the workout I needed! :P

After a while, no one really danced, so I went over to Jonathan's apartment, and gave some of em massages. Nothing's more satisfying than sounds of :

(i) 'Ooohhh..hhmmhmm..*mumble mumble*..'
(ii) 'OOoooohhh.. this is sooooooo goood.. you guys have to try this.. OooOOooh... yeaahhhh..'
(iii)Drool coming out from the side of the mouth

when I'm giving a massage!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E.J. and MBS

On the way back from work yesterday, I decided to really enjoy my Saturday evening. I stopped to watch a street performer.. took the time to watch his performance, gave him some coins and chatted for a bit.

Edward Jackson's a really good dancer from Detroit... www.itaps.net .. that's his website.

He did a contemporary tap to MJ and some other dance music. Was awesome! Might check him out again next weekend after my shift at the MindBodySoul expo which's also something I'm really looking forward to!! It's got like, fragrances, oils, massages, tarat card readings, fortune tellers..etc and I get to go for free. Normal entry tic's $25 bucks! And with my exhibitor pass, I get a further discount for things at the expo!! Loving my job more and more each day!

Anywayz.. gotta run for dinner!! STARVING!!!!

'You almost did a Shuen'

On an impulsive whim to cook dinner, Chris followed me to get eggs at the Village Convenience Store.

Should I get the 6 or 12 pack? I asked.
Just get the 6. You don't know when you're going to cook next.

Alright. Got the 6 and went to pay.
While waiting to sign the slip, I decided to make small talk with the cashier guy.

So, how much are the 12 pack of eggs?
Let me scan it for you. Oh, its $4.50.
Oh, ok. And how much was the 6 pack one again?
$4.80.

For a second, I thought I heard wrong. I thought he got it wrong. Turns out the 6 pack one was free range eggs or whatever.

I quickly changed my pack and we all had a good laugh about it. Then Chris said...

Wow, you almost did a Shuen back there!Lucky you checked!

-_-'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unbelievable!

Yesterday I woke up to the most unbelievable story ever.

It involves
- 2 beers
- an alley
- a drain
- the most relaxing thing in the world

And that's all I'm going to say. Was laughing my head off!!! Hahaha.. Gotta love you!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Season

I have no idea why, but of late, I've been such a klutz! My hand still hurts.. constantly.. big time! *boo hoo*

Yesterday was a fun shift at the David Lawrence VIP event.

Enjoyed the mini-fashion show, the new season range, the live jazz band, the delicious finger food, the champagne.

Everyone loved me.. well, actually, they loved me for my massage.. and I enjoyed commenting and giving ideas of how to wear certain pieces of clothings when some were indecisive - played the mini-stylist last night! :P Super fun!

Just got back from my senses/analgesia quiz. I've discovered one mistake.. already! There goes my perfect score! *sigh*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Super girlie talk alert*

Ever since I put on a gazillion kilos from my summer hols back in Msia, I've been trying to lose weight. I haven't really done anything much coz just from the higher level of physical activity plus the stress here in Sydney sorta helped a little.

I'm just 5 kgs (I think) away from my goal weight.

So there I was the other night, sitting down, eating dinner in front of the TV watching The Biggest Loser.

And get this.

On average, they lose about 4kgs a week!

I've been back here in Sydney for over a month and I think I've lost only like 2kgs (I think! I havent weighed myself in about 4 months.. I just use the fit of my jeans as a measure.)

Suddenly, I was pondering over the fact that I can potentially get to my dream weight in a week instead of another 2 months!
.
.
.
.
...Nah.. not gonna happen. Love my food too much!

Btw, does anyone know how to lose weight without losing boobs? Apart from plastic surgery?

OUCH!!

On the way back from uni just now, I stepped on some rollies and fell right on my bum in front of quite a few people. That should teach me not to txt while walking..

if not for the super hot cute guy who came up to me and asked me if I was alrite.. and with such concern too! :P

Can anyone be anymore optimistic about a painful, embarassing fall.. I don't know..

Alrite! off to work!!

Shadow.

Sometimes I feel hidden in her shadow,
A shadow looming so mightily tall,
A shadow empowering all of me.

I cower in the deepest darkest corner of her shadow,
The shadow that appears every now and then.
She stands up there,
at the very top of the seemingly tall flight of steps,
looking down at me,
Me, stumbling and falling to reach where she is.

Sometimes her shadow fades and I feel strong,
so I take a few steps,
But it suddenly falls back on me,
Darker and bigger than before,
And I lose all my strength.

She's with someone else permanently,
But that does not stop her shadow from chasing me.
It does not stop her shadow from clouding my thoughts,
Polluting them til I fall on my knees again,
when I feel weak and insignificant, no matter what he claims.

There's not only one 'she',
There are a few.
A few shadows chasing me,
overpowering me.

Her shadow, their shadows - my kryptonite.

SSC Alumni

I can't believe KID CHAN was from SSC.

KID CHAN!

http://www.kidchan.com

He's a well-known wedding photographer, and I've read about him in several articles before, the most recent being the one on Kennysia - http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2007/03/kid_chan_take_p.php

I got over my 'Elaine-Daly-studied-at-SSC' shock back then, and now, I've found another personality to be proud of. Well, for those who're not aware of it, Elaine Daly was Miss Malaysia/Universe 2003.

One day, my name will be up there with them.

Photography - taken
Beauty pageant - taken

I'll totter off to find my own little niche to be famous in now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Movie

Finally watched The Holiday.

Wonderful movie in my opinion.

It was treading a little too much on familiar territory for my liking tho - Jude Law's character, sad goodbyes, long distance relationship, learning to fall out of love/giving up and moving on..

Very close to my heart, that one.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it. It's gonna be one of the more significant movies on my list. What more, its got British actors in it. Love British movies. Love their accent. Love it!

So proud of myself!

I just cooked the best steak ever!

Well, actually, made the best gravy from scratch ever!

Just experimented and put in a little bit of this and that and voila.. suddenly I had something which was bursting with flavour!

I doubt I can produce the exact same thing again, but I could definitely try!

Wheeee.. happy me!!! :)

Diary

Yesterday was a mixed day.

Tried cancelling my shift coz I wasn't feeling too good, but got told off by the guardian on duty.

So I went for my shift feeling faint. Decided to sit out most of the night, and just supervise.

Just on the night that I wasn't making any effort at all, ppl started coming up for massages and I ended up making the most I've ever made in angelling.

Gave longer massages to ppl, coz I was in no hurry to look for others. Ended up chatting with some very entertaining ppl.

When I was calling it a night,wrapping up everything 10mins b4 shift was up, I got approached by a guy who just wanted to chat but ended up giving me $50 for a massage. It was a very deep+insightful chat we had, he was the sort of peaceful+spiritual guy, charming and charismatic. He had a a lot of respect for me and didn't try to pick me up in any way. Hardly ever find that on the job.

Was a pleasure meeting you and your family, Tony.

Then came the ride home, and the taxi driver just killed the night.
The seedy, mousy, pervert of a cab driver.
I hate him.

Hotness




She's the guarantee of a never-ending colourful, vibrant, fun time.

Vivacious,hot,funny, fashionable and GORGEOUS, she's a force to be reckon with.

And she's the person I spent having a 3-hr long lunch with at Thai Pothong this afternoon.

Great food.
Fantastic company/entertainment.
Last min cancellation of shift.

Never had a more wonderful lunch.

LOVING IT!!! :)

Halo Hands

The angels just introduced a new product - the Halo Hand Massage.

First, the regular neck+shoulders halo massage.
Now the hands.

The perks you get for being my friend.. and especially, the boyfriend.

Hilary Duff

Love her make-up.




Isn't she just gorgeous?I've never seen a single 'bad make-up' pic of her b4, and she apparently does them herself. Skills.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposals

After angelling, I've started to get SOOO many proposals n pick-ups on the job that I've just lost count! I reckon it'd be a good job to pick-up guys, seriously.

I've got my heart set on ONE person already...

so.. no appeal whatsoever there for me. I'm just really glad I can tell 'em that company policy disallows me to give anyone my number.

And I realised that the other part of this job which is fun is the freedom to put on any persona I want. Its like, acting or role-play.

I could pretend that I was the host of the place, and are making rounds to check if everyone's alrite or if they need a massage..

I could be the energetic bubble girl.. or the smouldering sexy vamp..

You get the picture. It's fun! :)

Got a couple of ppl who're actually football (soccer) fans, and I totally impressed them with my shallow football knowledge. *pat on back*

The first guy was this old regal-looking British dude who looked so 'hard' with a tight expression on his face, frown and all. Once I started working my magic hands, coupled with football talk (turns out he's a very passionate football fan.. duh.. Bri'ish!), he totally softened, and actually smiled (MIRACLE!!) a lot more!

The other guy yesterday was a younger looking manager from Sony. He asked to extend his massage and paid me even more after I had the whole football chat thing.

Now, I just have to read up more on footie,rugby and cricket.
