Zouk closed the doors (to which i applaud, really) to lay down crowd control.
Thinking i’d just go in later, i sat in Terrace bar to chill and catch up with lovely soul Jimmy.
Thought of what to order to drink, and got Heinekens of course :p
Around midnight, we were itchy to go inside but the line outside Zouk was even longer than before!
Thanks to Jet of Zouk for bringing us in
Upon walking in, i surveyed the area first…
Rocking sial.
Heineken gave us this über cool card which, when swiped at their Heineken counters, showed how many bottles of Heineken you could redeem.
Quite cemerlang right!
After grabbing bottles, Jimmy and i headed to the dance floor to find SarChan and the rest.
DidiBuliRamlan is always taking secret shots of us as we go wild at parties.
This is my not-so-secret shot of DidiBuli going not-so-wild.
NurMeiLing stepped in the way
Justin Yap is busy preparing for Malayasian International Fashion Week, Kyan Yap is out to open more bars than the ones he already owns, Jimmy Lim is closing the first show for MIFW
My darling girls Aps + StephTheVolcano
Check out Aps new do!
We have the same stylist and friend – Milcah
DangerJules of Streething
Danger, because of crazy flashes and snaps you don’t notice while partying
And then it goes up on Streething the next day 0_-
Blurry shots start to ensue…
Don’t know who took it, my digicam was being passed around :p
Ethan!
A short vid on how crazy it was! Excuse the bad sound – it was so loud!
Kevin YEOH + Ming = Lose Control + Maintain
Kevin has a wicked do
I think my favourite from the past few years, only because it’s quite whack!
RoxyRoz of sevendays boutique
Van She and the Dexpistols really rocked it that night.
We were all just RIDING HIGH on the music.
There’s only so much Heineken i can fit into my tummy, so i think i had four in the main room ALL NIGHT LONG.
And it was more than enough to keep me going mental!
It was so cute that when the beginning of MGMT’s Kids came on, SarChan turned to me and whooped while dancing cos we use it for our SalahWrong set too.
But obviously minus the cemerlang DJ skills :p
Argh! One of the cutest pictures of SarChan i have!
Ethan went through costume changes siut.
OH FINALLY! A picture of DidiBuli partying! *jakun*
UOX Play is happening this Saturday at CapSquare and Tongue in Chic will be having a charity booth there.
Not just any old charity booth, but we’re imploring girls and guys to donate clothes they don’t wear anymore, but are too nice to simply donate to an orphanage or Salvation Army.
All the clothes you donate will be sold at the Chic Charity booth for RM5-15 per piece.
All money (every single cent) will be going to the Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO).
The whole point of it is too get rid of clothes you don’t wear anymore, buy other shopaholic’s clothes for cheap, AND give to those in need at the same time!
Or maybe it’s the new lamp, that’s giving me a headache cos i’m not used to it.
But i think it’s work, cos when i’m tired (plus the damn headache) i have no patience for people.
On impulse i went to see Aps and StephTheVolcano at my neighbourhood bar to grab a couple of drinks before coming back to face more pc screen.
It was so nice catching up with them alone.
Like a breath of new air, or going on a holiday.
That kinda feeling.
One of the waiters came up to us to tell us to order a round of whatever we wanted cos a bunch of guys wanted to buy us drinks.
We told him to tell them it’s okay, we can buy our own drinks.
45 minutes or so later, a stranger came up and tried to chat Steph and i up (Aps left already cos she has to wake up early for work).
I didn’t want to be mean so i said, “You have 30 seconds.”
Steph stated 2 minutes, the generous thing.
“So you’re the girls who turned down our offer to buy you drinks.” “We’re not being rude. We can buy our own drinks,” i replied somewhat impatiently. “But there’s nothing wrong with guys buying some pretty girls some drinks…”
Oh great.
Male chauvinist thinking he can save femalekind by providing them alcohol.
Something i really have no patience to deal with after work.
“We’re not like other girls. We can buy our own drinks. Thanks,” i replied flatly.
To summarize it, he was a bit tipsy, not very interesting, harmless really, but i just wanted to talk to Steph.
“Your two minutes are up,” i smile politely at him.
He got the message and left.
I wasn’t that mean i swear.
I was nice – asked him whether he worked nearby, Steph asked where his friends were from, we asked a few questions, enough time for him to give witty answers to make an impression. But nada.
I’m just glad we didn’t accept any drinks -_-
Look, the whole point we all work is so that we can pay for our own stuff.
If we took drinks from the fellow, then we’d feel obliged to layan him and talk.
I might as well be a guest relations officer in a bar (not that i look down on them. it’s tough work – layaning ppl!)
The fact that we already give so much time and effort to work
is so we don’t have to layan people during our rest time
Like Aps said – “I think we just grew old. Don’t want to spend time on people we don’t want to.”
Cruise was very the nice indeed.
It’s such a different experience and the convenience of waking up in a different location almost every day is freaking awesome.
Schedule went like this = eat on ship – party on ship – eat on land – party on land – sleep on ship – etc etc
The moment we checked into the ship (we took Star Cruise Gemini btw), they took our passports and we each got an ID card of sorts.
Every time we disembarked or got back unto the ship, the card would be swiped.
And every time we bought something on the ship (alcohol, tours, memorabilia), it’d be swiped as well.
RowdyRudy spoke true when he held it up and said to me, “This is… very very dangerous. We have no idea how many drinks we’re buying.”
See the striped brollies on the top deck? That be where the pool at.
Checked in around 5pm, and got used to the ship a bit before dinner.
Food’s provided the entire trip so phew.
We kinda forgot whether we had to pay for food as well 0_-
For every meal, we could choose to either eat at the Mariner’s buffet area (which we didn’t have to dress up for) or at the restaurant downstairs, which was served in courses and a bit more proper.
Obviously for the first meal we went the nicer route and ate as we watched Port Klang disappear further and further into the distance.
In mind: YES! We’re getting away from KL! We’re going awayyyyy!!!
Alcohol was decently priced at around SGD30-60 per bottle of wine, depending on which vineyard ’twas from.
First night, i didn’t drink that much.
Shared a bottle of wine with RR then got really tired.
Prollie from lack of sleep and food in KL.
So i went to the room to watch the final days of the US election (>.< Yeah i know right. I usually have NO interest in politics, but for the last few days, couldn’t stop watching the speeches).
RR stayed at the bar, made friends with all the bartenders and had (too) many tequila shots. Psycho.
Anyway, next morning we went to check out the pool on top deck (8)
Damn 7 pretty right!
People are constantly getting on and off at different ports, and at that point of time, the ship was really empty, so we had the whole pool in the morning to ourselves!
The glory!
At times when the pool got crowded, we wandered about the other decks, taking in the scenery.
It was really spectacular.
Just watching the surface of the sea rush by, with the breeze ruffling my hair was really soothing.
At first, we were like, ‘wow… this is sooo romantic..!’
Then ended up looking at each other in disdain.
“Oh my god, this is so romantic!” “I know… imagine if you’re here with your other half. If we had one. It’d be so nice,” i sighed. “Dammit!”
“Oh shut up. I’m stuck here with YOU too ok.” “And all the places you can shag around this boat!”
“Haha i bet the crew have stumbled upon many people doing it before!”
For long periods of time, we didn’t talk, just basked in the sun and our own thoughts, while staring out at the changing patterns of the ocean.
It was a really nice time for reflection.
Maybe it was the book i was reading as well.
Made me think of a lot of things.
What i want in life.
What i’m looking for.
What i’ve got.
What i haven’t.
Fate, chance, love.
Yeah, i emo-ed sendiri a lot on the boat :p
We had a few hours in Penang on Tuesday, so we took a smaller boat out to mainland.
You can’t possibly go to Penang and NOT eat hawker food right, so (due to despair and not knowing somewhere nearby we could go) i texted my cousin Johnson to ask for directions.
So happened he was free for lunch, so we met up and he took us for some SUPER AWESOME char koay teow with huge juicy prawns (sorry no pictures, RR and i were fighting over prawns and i forgot) and laksa.
Daymn. Writing about it now it making my stomach rumble
Johnson + RowdyRudy
Went to see my auntie in her bakery for a while, and she pushed gelato and cream puffs into our hands
Then had to search for an internet cafe to do some work and reply emails for a bit.
Back to the boat in the evening, the ship was having some gala night where we had to dress up a bit more for dinner before a show.
After dinner, we went to hang out in the fresh air with our bottle of wine before the show started.
Cool thing is, we could just carry our bottle of wine with us wherever and nobody bothered us.
If anything, the crew kept on wanting to help us carry stuff to which we’d go, “It’s okay! We have hands! Don’t worry!”
The wind is really strong on top deck. Can’t open my eyes wei.
Ho ho… then we wandered right to the FRONT of the ship where it was SUPER STRONG WIND cos of the speed we were going at.
RR: This is how a kite feels like! Me: I think my dress is gonna blow right off.
See how the wind is just blowing the flesh on our faces 0_o
The cruise ship is almost empty, which is what RowdyRudy and i LOVE.
Absolutely LOVE cos i think one thing we find hard to get away from is crowds in KL.
He’s at the bar drinking now, whereas i’m really too tired from lack of proper sleep and food for the past week.
So i’m going to crash early and replenish my energy to holiday right.
😉
Yes, they have internest access using satellite system on the ship!
Costs quite a bit tho 0_o at SGD0.23 a minute.
So won’t be long. Somemore page takes damn long to load, walau.
The staff are so (damn i feel rocking suddenly) smiley and amazing to talk to, it’s like drinking at the bar and speaking to new friends which is pretty damn awesome.
Was talking to this guy from India, who was telling us about his wife and two daughters he hasn’t seen for 8 months.
And he was telling on how other visitors on the boat recorded him talking to show his family when they visited them there (just for him), i was tearing cos you could see how much he misses them.
Ok, damn expensive to blog sial -_-
Tomorrow Penang and we hang out there all day.
Next day we arrive in Krabi, then Phuket.
Time to have some alone time – shower, read book, PASS OUT.
