CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES: THE SEQUEL

we have two scorpios in the family. dad is one, and my sister nurul is the other. yesterday she turned 19 (but still single and available... hurry up and datelah, you abnormal thing) and the whole gin gang turned up at fish & co for an evening of seafood and corny jokes. makan free memang best per. hee!


birthday gal and parents (note: boyfriend ~ NADA)


the lil one offering a wish and thinking "bila my turn pulak ni?"


having passionfruit drink and ME for breaking fast :p


the coy and the tak-maintain


bright smiles were aplenty


count duckula? suckula?


having a stab at the fried ikan todak (which tasted like chicken, by the way)


this was what happened after birthday gal asked for FREE birthday brownies... it was like hari raya in adeban


free brownies can give one temporary ecstasy


the ride home: five of us squashed at the back, not unlike refugees being smuggled across the causeway


sempat ber-shampoo advert


promoting THE GRUDGE


practising the cutesy look for gullible aunties


this one is for the boys!

keluar sekejap pon sempat buat drama.

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES

what transpired yesterday... :)































after the birthday treat at seri kampung restaurant (sedap menjilat jari - especially the sipot sedot - will definitely dine there again), i made my first brave attempt at invading geylang.

i lasted only ten minutes before i bolted straight to the carpark.

tak bleh carry beb.

i think ramadan this time round i'll be giving geylang a miss. *grimaces*

A BIRTHDAY AND MANY BATED BREATHS

today is daddy-o's 55th birthday. my dad tu dah jadi pakcik cpf pon. hehe. the entire family's eating at kampong melayu later to celebrate.

haven't been feeling well lately. my system's gone all whack. the telltale symptoms are there... but i'm still iffy.

let's wait a while.

ROUGE CONSULTANCY SERVICES

i went over to punggol yesterday to rescue a damsel in distress. her distress? choosing the right paint colours for her new house! :D

miss H is going to be my neighbour at punggol when i move house (err... soon i hope). we're a mere block away - i can see her through my french windows. get ready for some serious voyeur-ing, aye miss H?

miss H and me; we've got identical apartments. the only difference is, mine's on the 6th storey and hers on the 17th (she's got this thing about heights, being a lanky lass herself). and that her apartment ceiling is a good one foot higher than mine, being on the highest level and all. but it's really okay, i don't suffer from apartment envy, cos

(i) i'm short, and hubster's not very tall. so our house is considered proportionate to our stature. needless to say, miss H and her 'gopal' are tall individuals.
(ii) i'm afraid of heights. tingkat sepuluh je dah leh comatose.
(iii) miss H paid a much bigger bomb for that extra foot of ceiling. a bomb that i can never afford. sheesh.

so there. no apartment envy whatsoever. hehe.

so there i was, helping her with her choices. and my oh my... besides feeling deja vu, i found out that we have VERY SIMILAR reno ideas! who would've thought? maybe i can make mine a bit more minimalist. so that i don't have to kemas so much lah!!


miss h. don't those french windows look familiar to you?


the quintessential reno mess


one of the coincidences in our reno plans: hacking of the study to make glass walls


another one: opening up of the kitchen


miss h: "neymind, my house is your house is my house."


a buka treat at long john's for my services :)

great minds think alike, aye? *i* prefer to think so anyway. HA!

save for one thing.

saiz katil tu kena lain sikit. maklumlah, aku ni midget, dia tu bangau! kekekeke

FREEZE FRAME

the wedding video and studio album are finally ready. i realised 2 things:

1) i hate seeing myself on tv. i look like a blinking idiot.
2) the hubster looks like don juan (de mangkok) in a white suit. he's even passable as one of those backstreet boys. but i love the backstreet boys. so cute. especially the one who looks like a rat. heh. ok, so i digress.

i would really like to post my in'vogue studio/outdoor picts here (they're not bad at all!), but it is really too leceh to scan them cos of the way they're mounted on the album pages. oh well.

but what i *do* have, are the studio rejects! yup yup, these are the ones that didn't make it to the final cut, but they give you a semblance of the finalised picks (the ones in the album are of course more drama! wakaka)... so kalau nak tengok, silakan eh!



before i forget, i recommend in'vogue photo studio tau! a bit pricey but it was money well-spent for us. the photographer, even though a bit on the kelakar seram side, is a very easy person to work with. orang yang selenge macam kita pon, boleh berfeeling like a model you!!

NASI LEMAK, BUAH BIDARA
GIGI SAKIT, CEKIK DARAH

i've been having the worst case of wisdom TEETH (yes, plural) woes for the past week, complete with a sporadic fever that comes and goes as it wishes. panadol is my new best friend and porridge my new staple. plus now i slur better than a lipless drunk and drool in my sleep (whatever few winks i can muster) like there is no tomorrow. my new secret fantasy is to have all my teeth yanked out with my dad's pliers. but i do not think the hubby would find tooth(teeth?)less me remotely sexy. so, uh, fergeddit.

although feeling like shit does not even begin to describe my plight right now, nothing was going to stop me from enjoying the famed adam road's nasi lemak! so 2 guys and 4 girls trotted down to selera rasa to meet up with the maliQUEs (heh), where we were treated with much hospitality and warmth. and while the rest effortlessly polished off their plates, i tried my best to appear normal while swallowing the nasi lemak grain by grain. terkemut-kemut sak. panadol pwease!



we're definitely coming there again (but this time as paying customers!). maliQUE, the sambal sotong was really shiok, are you sure you cooked it yourself? heuheuheu

shireen, you lucky biatch you.

ok, wisdom teeth, you've got some serious growing up to do. quit making me look like a retard with a lockjaw, hokay... i *need* to masticate. ... and gnaw and nibble too! ;p
