Random photos before I go go

Flying off to Tbilisi, Georgia in about an hour so I thought I'd post some photos before I go! Will be back on the 18th.

Camwhoring photos x 3:






Might have over-photoshopped this. LOL... But whatever lah!


RIPPLE'S WEDDING!

Attended my RVHS classmate Ripple's wedding! She's the third in our class to get married... I'm number 4 if I'm not wrong!





Ripple's chio gown with a mad long train!



The wedding was aviation-themed so we all got air tickets for our seating!



Mike and I. Everytime I spell that I feel like writing "Mike and Ike". WTF



My ticket!



Decorations were in tiffany blue :)



They gave us a feather pen and I was trying to camwhore with it but damn fail coz

1) The feather doesn't go with a human head and is indeed sticking out in an awkward position.

2) Lousy photographer obviously used finger to cover part of lens

3) Kena photobombed by chao angmoh in background. TENSO!



Exclassmates Peiying + Jizhang



Look at this crazy humongous "cake" that the bridal couple DIY-ed! Madness!



Ripple must have painted on the pearls... She's always been crazy good at art!






Only managed to snap one lousy photo of the couple watching down the aisle... Note to self: Walk down aisle VERY VERY slowly





Ripple's second outfit + little luggage!



Our table... These photos are so pointless lah everyone's head so small!



Eekean acting cute




Gillian and I playing with the stickers that we got from the Cupid event some time ago... She's a skincare junkie (she really is, she like brought her 48 step skin care regime to fucking Dayang Island where the toilets don't have a heater or even goddamn lights) while I am a botox addict!

On a side note I was using this photo as a twitter profile picture some time ago. My mom saw the thumbnail and she didn't know how to enlarge it so for the longest time she was wondering what that was on my nose and she said I look like Mickey Mouse. LOL!!



Picture taken during the breakdancing episode of Guide to Life!

I was trying to be sporty ok I'm not normally so act cute!


Visit to the IR


Went with Ming + his friends to Resort World... We ate at:





My cod fish... Ok only... Not terrible but nothing on Forlino



The boys ordering

Went to relax at Ming's room at Hard Rock Hotel... It's nice there!



Sheena posing while watching TV




* END RANDOM PHOTOS *


Been so goddamn busy this month! On top of all this travelling I have adverts to do too!

In case you don't have Twitter or are not following me there for whatever retarded reason, I can finally say why I went to San Francisco!!!

It is because I am one of the 15 very privileged Super Bloggers/Vloggers WORLDWIDE who were chosen to visit PIXAR STUDIOS in Emeryville, San Francisco!

Is it cool or what!! Pixar is very very exclusive and doesn't usually get visitors!

We watched Toy Story 3 - a roughly 98% finished version - 2 months before everyone else can!

Director Lee Unkrich (who is so nice and funny btw) informed us that just a few nights before us Tom Hanks and Tim Allen (voices of Woody and Buzz respectively) also watched the same version!

It was so freaking awesome - even better than TS 1 and TS 2 - which is really amazing coz I LOVE both!

So obviously I took LOTS-O (heh heh heh if you are TS fan you will know) photos but they are not edited yet. When I come back I will publish them, so stay tuned!!

Don't switch blogs! Mine is the best! Lalalala!



Camwhoring shot as dessert. Bam. Yet another fab blog entry. TYTYTY

PR for middle-aged men: How not to appear to be a lao tiko

(lao tiko = lecherous pervert)

That day I was on a cab, as usual, when a 50+ year old uncle started asking me about my hair. (also as usual)



Yes, I know you also have questions


I understand that it's the most striking thing about me, but I'm sick to DEATH of being asked the question of "how long does it take to dye it that colour?".


WHY DO PEOPLE CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES??


The answer is about 1 hour, ok? YES, ONLY ONE HOUR!


As I gave increasingly placid answers, his enthusiasm grew and he went on to ask what job I do that allows blonde hair - which is another question I am sincerely sick of answering.

And I thought to myself, "Stupid lao tiko... I don't want to talk to you can?"

Then I realised something. He wasn't flirting with me or hitting on me... He was just being curious, just like any other person!

If the same questions were asked by, say, a friend's mom, I'd just answer (albeit uninterestedly) and not think that much.

If the same questions were asked by someone I like, say J K Rowling, I'd be flattered that she noticed and answer with relish.

If it's asked by Zac Efron I'd invite him to touch my hair. Maybe shove it in his face.


Oh yes


Why the disparity? Because I am CURIOUS about the latter two and not remotely curious about the cab driver. I have no questions for him, so it is pointless to even make an effort to speak to him as I get nothing in exchange for it. I give you trivia, and what do you give me? Stinking 30% peak hour surcharge. Fuck that.

Sad but true.

(Not to say all cab drivers are uninteresting. Just this one in particular.)

Life sure is hard for middle-aged uncles! (I refer to those we are not Richard Gere or George Clooney or Chow Yun Fatt)

As it is, as long as they talk to a youngish girl we all assume they are hitting on us and shun them.

So as such, for the sake of the 5 or so middle-aged men reading my blog (Geez, are you perverts or something? Stop wanking to my photos! - HAHAHA), I'm going to help salvage this PR disaster of men in your age group!


HOW NOT TO APPEAR LECHEROUS


1) Stop staring


For christ's sake giving someone the once-over is NOT ok. It is only ok if you are Meryl Steep in The Devil Wears Prada coz she has a work excuse to do so.

It is also NOT ok to completely turn in the middle of your walk to stare. Not ok to turn in your cab driver seat 180 degrees to stare (awkward!). Not ok to turn in your coffeeshop seat.

NOT OK TO STARE AT BOOBS/LEGS/ASS.

Don't. Just don't. Resist it.


2) Talk about your wife

If you really wish to start up a conversation with a young lady about anything you wish to know, first blow away her rightful discrimination of men like you by preempting that you are in love with somebody else.

This is an actual conversation I had with another cab driver today: "Wow how long does it take to dye your hair? My wife tried but she can't get that colour... And once she got the closest to that colour, she is a banker so the bank told her to dye it black again. Haha"

See? Much better.

If you don't have a wife, make one up.

If you have a GIRLFRIEND when you are 50, please don't call her your girlfriend. You just sound like a loser lao tiko trying to hao lian his Cheena girlfriend, whether or not that's the case. Ew, gross.


3) Talk about your kids


You may draw comparison of the kids to the girl you are talking to, ie, "Which school did you go to to work as a blogger? My daughter blogs too, and she wants to be a blogger."

Coz presumably if I'm like your daughter then you don't wanna fuck me. Right? Right, unless you are Jack Neo.


4) DO NOT TALK ABOUT SEX


SO. NOT. OKAY.

Seriously. Cheebye cab drivers telling me about their China mistresses. I FUCKING HAD ENOUGH!


5) Do not sneakily take a photo

Surely you understand why girls won't be comfortable with that??! I WILL throw your stupid phone into the PIE!


6) Do not comment on people's looks or praise them.


Yeah ok you think a girl is pretty. Why bother telling her when loads of people have told her before? Think her skirt shows off her ass nicely? KEEP THAT TO YOURSELF.

And don't stare while praising. CREEPS X 100000000 hello!


7) Don't ask if we have a boyfriend.

What's it got to do with you and why do you care?!


**********************

That's all I can think of for now. Add whatever you can think of in the comments!!


I understand that when you hit 50 and is driving a cab you probably don't give a fuck about whether the young girl you are driving knows you are hitting on her. But she might maze you! Just saying.

Going to KL tomorrow! Going for the Project Alpha press conference and an FHM shoot! :D Back in 2 days.
