I thought of that line when i popped a tiny yellow pill RudyLaFaber gave me.
He got it from a hospital recently when he got diagnosed for an anxiety attack.
“What does it do?” i asked curiously before taking it.
“It basically relaxes you, it doesn’t do anything to your head, like make you happy or anything, just makes you kinda wave away your work and it suddenly doesn’t seem like so much of a big deal anymore. You know like how that feeling of stress you have, where it swells up inside of you and keeps on getting bigger and bigger? Yeah, that kinda goes away.”
“Oh okay. Can do work or not? I still need to do work later, don’t want to fall asleep!”
“Yeah you can.”
So i took it, thought of that line PassedOutBen was infamous for saying and did my work.
Hmm, well, i didn’t seem to worry that much last night… or maybe it was psychological?
For all i know, he gave me a Vitamin C -_-
Side Allowances
A girl friend of mine gets an allowance from her boyfriend, amounting up to 3k a month.
It’s not that she doesn’t work or anything, we both have roughly the same standard of work = not too bad.
“Oh my god. How did it suddenly turn up that he gives you money?!” i asked incredulously. I really don’t know where my girl friends find these boyfriends who give them money, cars and holidays.
“Eh, I never asked okay, just that one month, i was waiting for some money to come in and he said he’ll give me some a month and it just started from there.”
“… 0_o…”
And she’s not desperate for it as she’s already got her own landed property and other savings she’d confided she has.
One fine and flustered day, she lectured me for doing too much work, “Look at you. Stop doing so much work.”
I shot back playfully, “Eh shut up, i don’t have a boyfriend who gives me 3k a month okay.”
Yeah. That made her shut up.
He’s Back and Bitchier Then Ever
After much nagging and persuading, KinkyPugKevin aka Kevin Yeoh is back on the blog scene
Cos i think the pain will at least distract me from my back pain right now
I got it while in the opis today and it was so bad, i made DatinTini tekan it while i pressed up against a wall.
The sight caught TylerTheFairysitter’s attention cos it looked… inappropriate
Somehow, i don’t know whether it was DatinTini’s magic touch or what, but it subsided a few hours in the afternoon BUT resumed at night.
I couldn’t even sit still in the restaurant for dinner and drove home in pain.
Got Daddy to massage me a bit.
Mummy blared how can someone young get back pains like this.
Daddy lent me this Biossentials Comfort Pillow which you heat up.
I did so for three minutes in the microwave before draping myself on the sofa like a dead animal to let it rest on my lower back.
I (unintentionally) skipped the La Bodega launch @ Pavilion because i really didn’t want to deal with a loud environment tonight…
Went for dinner at this Korean place upstairs with IceCalvin and planned to head to La Bod to show face then ciao
But i didn’t expect the music to be so loud and everyone was drunk and i memang patronize the place anyway so we tried this new bar a few doors away called Michaelangelo’s
This huge group of superchinese people stared awfully rudely at Calvin and i.
I mean, stare, stare la. But can laugh at us so openly.
IceCalvin just sneered at them and i shrugged, thinking out loud they were being really uncouth.
But you know what.
I REALLY LIKE MICHAELANGELO’S.
I must say they’ve got impeccable service.
Not just one waiter.
Not two.
But all* of them.
Wait.
I have to go put the pack on my back again.
Hey, that rhymes!
Pack on my back, yeah!
… Okay i think the pain is affecting my brain also.
I spent the whole of Sunday and Monday holed up in my house recovering from fever, a hacking cough and over-socialising.
Got a telling off from a few friends that i was overworking it last week but see! I’m fine now!
Went to LaughingLoga’s surprise birthday party last week and i still repeat that with a whole bunch of Indians, the jokes are really damn 7 stupid laugh can die.
LaughingLoga actually found out about the surprise
Anon Indian Friend: How did you find out? LaughingLoga: I gave her the silent treatment. Me: Wah, damn kesian. Kononnya actually throwing party for you! Anon Indian Friend: Damn. I wish mine would give me the silent treatment. Me: HAHAHA!!!
On another note, i did two hills of laundry and hung them out (even tho it was cloudy) because i wanted to use the dryer as little as possible.
Almost stepped on something smack in the middle of the garden…
Couldn’t help taking a picture.
I’ve taken of squashed squirrels and other dead animals before, but not a mouse.
Then i had to pick it up (with newspapers of course!!!) and throw it away.
But even in my brave state, i was still quite grossed out with the whole rubbery feel of it all.
Grey + Glamourous
Yeah this is damn outdated but thought better start blogging as much as i meant to before it becomes absolutely redundant!
The Grey Goose party @ Attic to wrap up their Guest Bartender series
This was after we rushed back from Perhentian two weeks ago.
KinkyPugKevin championed it out by going straight to Attic, whereas i refused to show up looking like someone just picked me up from the water and plopped me there.
So i went home to shower, makeup and do my hair in an impressive time of 30 minutes flat.

I don’t know why there’s this stupid ugly thing on the bottom right of the picture

So there are four competitions Digi is holding for their Fu-Yoh Street Blast. A futsal + basketball tournament, a fashion design competition and a b-boy dance contest. Among the four, I think I can only relate to the fashion one :p
What happens when you see a contest that stirs your interest? Do you see what you have to do to join first? Do you see what the qualifications are first?
No.
What I do is I always check out what the prizes are first, to see whether joining it in the first place will be worth my time.
C’mon. It’s common sense. Would you join a contest if the prize was RM100? Heck no.
So first up, what *are* the prizes? *rubs hands in glee*
For the basketball tournament, I went to kacau NickIsTaller. My brother’s an avid basketball player.
Yeah, I know the contest for this is over. I just wanted to sibuk at any rate.
Sometimes when I meet guys through other friends, they’d say, “Oh yeah, I know your brother, we play basketball together.”
So it’s different. He plays basketball with them. I drink with them.
I asked Nick, “Hey, what do you think of a basketball tournament that gives RM1,500 prize money?” “Hmm that’s not bad.” “Not bad… like how? I have no idea what the normal figure is.” “Most of the other tournaments give cash prizes of less then 1k or sometimes even 500. Hmm except for this recent one in The Curve that gave damn a lot. But 1,500 is damn good.”
I went into interview mode, “So, if you won 1,500 what would you do with it?” “Have to split between three players right?” “Yeah I guess so.” “Hmm dunno. Normal stuff I guess.” “-_- Fail la you. So much for something interesting you say to write on my blog. -_-“
So yes. The prize money was RM1,500 1st runner up got RM1,000 And 2nd runner up got RM500
Now, if you’re short (like me) and don’t have much ability in playing basketball (like me), there was the futsal tournament for others to cash in on.
I think half my friends play futsal. MaryBerry plays every week with Gobi and gang, so does FaiTheMai, TL, AzwinAndy, AdamPoserPan, etc. ExSmellie used to play so much that I had to yank him from it to spend quality time with me instead -_-
One thing about futsal is you can seriously get hurt with it, yet the boys still insist on playing.
FaiTheMai obtained some problems with his knees last time yet still insisted on playing. Then he got a slip disk so had to abandon sport altogether. TL got kicked in the ankles and had an ugly bruise when we went to Perhentian. AdamPoserPan… well he just got itsy wounds and made a big whiny deal out of it.
I didn’t take this. He did, ages ago. (With his futsal gear still on -_-)
There must be a reason why they love playing futsal so much, though I’m blinded to it cos I hate running around, despite being a sprinter in school last time. Even in the gym I’d rather do the stair climber then the treadmill. I love hiking, swimming, other sports, and now diving (yay! I just got my license!), but I’m just not a fan of running around kicking a ball.
Prize money for the futsal tournament was the same as the basketball one 😉 First prize = RM1,500 1st runner up = RM1,000 2nd runner up = RM500
I know both the basketball and futsal ones are over, so you must be wondering why the heck I’m writing about it when there’s no way you can join already. But I couldn’t help babbling a bit ’bout it.
Ok ok I’ll get to the point.
Besides the basketball and futsal tournaments, there’ll also be the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest taking place for the span of a month from 15 September to 31 October 2007.
Okay for me, if I was younger and I wanted to partake in a competition like this, it’s not only the money that’d draw me but the acquisition of the title itself. Even if you don’t continue pursuing a career in fashion design, the fact that you won something like this can always be inserted into your CV as fabulous additional skills that you have!
So for the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest, I’m going to go through what you have to do first before telling you what you’d win.
First, You participate by creating a minimum of 4 designs on JPEG/PDF format and email it to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the subject entitled ‘Fashion.’
Then, 8 finalists will be selected to receive RM1,000 each, to bring their designs to life. They’ll compete in the KL Finals to vie to be champion.
If you are champion, You get prize money of RM2,000 + Nokia 7900 Prism + working experience with a fashion designer.
If you’re one of the finalists who don’t win, it’s okay. It was a good try and you still get a Nokia 7900 Prism.
Couldn’t help googling the phone up. Quite the cemerlang also. (Crap, I think I listen to DikHaHaHau and Roen too much. Since when I use the word ‘cemerlang’? -_-)
I have no idea who the fashion designer is as of yet. If you’re young, that doesn’t mean age is a barrier.
See here Justin Yap. He won Best Eveningwear during MIFA two years ago… when he was 20.
Jess from Andrews Models, stylist Calvin Cheong, designer Justin Yap, me in my non-red phase @ the Robinson’s launch @ Gardens Midvalley
If you’ve always aspired to be a fashion designer, this is just one of the ways of starting (besides pursuing a course in it). You’d get to be involved in the final presentation of a model on the runway!
The hair!
Emmeline Ng backstage
The make up!
The models…
Took this at the Robinson’s Launch as well JustinYap and i were trying (rather unsuccessfully) not to drool so obviously at this particular dude, our jaws hanging open all.
The B-Boy Dance Challenge is also till 31 October 2007.
A video of you and 5 friends have to be sent in to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the subject ‘Dance’ And like the fashion one, 8 finalists will be selected whereupon they’ll compete at the KL Finals.
Winning group gets RM2,000 prize money + 6 x Nokia 5610 XpressMusic + and a trip to bust those moves elsewhere by competing overseas! Nice.
1st runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5700 XpressMusic 2nd runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5300 XpressMusic
So not only do you know how to move, you in most probability have a sexy bod from all the workout plus you have high stamina which equals to *cough* being extremely… healthy. Yeah, healthy.
Bet your saham will naik with the chicks, man.
Now. We’ve been talking and talking about the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest and the B-Boy Dance Challenge, and how they winner will emerge in the KL Finals.
But what the heck is this KL Finals?
It’s at the Fuyoh Street Blast la. (aiyo are you following me or not?)
Besides finding out who won the Inter-Varsity Sports Championships, and who the winners are for the fashion and B-boy contests, there’ll be heaps of other workshops and mini competitions lined up for those of you (like me) who didn’t end up joining either of the main ones.
X-Games! – BMX, In-Line Skating, Skate Boarding
I used to rollerblade every single day without fail back in the 90s. Woo… Almost killed myself too when I bladed downhill and went faster then the car next to me and didn’t know how to stop -_-
Dance! – Breakdance, Shuffle, Freestyle and Capoiera Workshops
Capoiera @ Kuching Rainforest Music Fest
Hmm remember the Atmosphere days? :p That was so… five years ago. That’s where I met so many of the people I still see today 😀 And we used to cheer PassedOutBen on cos he could shuffle in perfect agility for the big guy he was back then (now he lost weight see)
None of us oldies shuffle anymore. But it’s amusing to see how the new ones do it. Though I feel like throwing something at them when I see someone shuffling to RNB = absolute rubbish okay.
Shufflers at the previous PD rave
Arts & Crafts – Graffiti and other funky techniques Arts and crafts! Wee… i always wanted to teach children arts and crafts in kindergarten. Show them how to draw fairies and start a fairy cult.
As for graffiti, I love admiring and taking pictures of them, but I don’t have a knack for it. Here’s a masterpiece by AhHoong aka DozyDidjital aka Didjital from the Bass Agents
Damn cemerlang right?
Besides all those activities, you can also get awesome stuff with Digi’s fun games
Bid Dat! – Bid for goodies from as low as RM1 Spin & Win – Reload and spin away for cool prizes G-Force!
Oh my god. I love G-Force. It doesn’t last long but I remember taking it twice before – once with AdamPoserPan in Singapore and another with GarfieldChak at the KL Tower rave.
And if that’s not enough, there are more performances lined up (Walau. Type it also get tired already)
Rock hard with shows by local artistes, uni bands, and dance champions, not forgetting special appearances by DIGI CelebriTeen finalists.
For the performances, Gerhana Ska Cinta, Joe Flizzow, Sierra, Letto from Indonesia will be playing.
Joe Flizzow laughing
Took that in Gabriel’s apartment for a feature article for Vida! mag a year ago.
Letto from Indonesia
I must say I adore Indonesian bands. They have this way of relating their lyrics and it always turns out damn emo. >_<
It’s usually listening to the songs over and over that I end up taking to it, then I’ll be so semangat i’ll search up the lyrics and once, I even translated Sheila On Seven’s Sephia to English. :p
Other Malaysian indie bands playing will be Raw n G$, Mono lo-fi minimal, Tnoze/sash, Hujan, Debunga, and Mines Mayor.
Also showing up will be Da Yellow Coverage Fellow.
How can we not know that Yellow Coverage Fellow? I think he’ll be most popular person that day. Everyone will want to take pictures with him… including me!
So remember, slash 24th November off your calendar and check out happy-coloureddigi.com.my/fu-yoh for more info (plus there’s heaps of other info and buttons to mess about with there.)
