While you were eating...

listening to john legend's 'Save Room'...

Today, while you were eating, I was having a manicure.

After 20% discount, my French manicure only cost $21.60!
Most places charge around twenty five to twenty seven bucks.
I'm typing with four fingers now.
So if I accidentally ruin them, I'll at most waste $2.16 x 4 = $8.64.

Shall stop now to sit and stare at my beautiful nails.
Perfect excuse to avoid laborous work :)

Envious? Don't be because...

Tomorrow, while you are eating, I will be starving.
Blew my lunch budget today.

Girls Nation Dance Battle

listening to six pence none the richer's 'Kiss Me'...

I slept with a cough drop in my mouth last night. My sister believed I would choke to death in my sleep, but fortunately (or unfortunately for some people... wahaha!), I woke up safe and sound. By the time I recover from this horrible cough, I'll probably be left with a mouthful of decayed teeth. Tough luck, baby!

Attended the Girls' Nation Dance Battle hip hop competition at Zouk two Saturdays back. Some of the gals were smoking HOT! HOT! HOT! Especially the group from Eusoff Hall.




When the scantily dressed babes went onstage, everyone became trigger-happy.

At the other end of the spectrum, when this particular group went up to perform, I turned around to ask YY:
"I thought this was a girls-only dance competition?"




The lead dancer looked mannish, with her non-delicate features and tall stature. To put it bluntly, she resembled a drag queen. Yet we were strangely captivated by her moves, energy level and stage presence.

There was a round where the two abovementioned teams had to fight it out on the dance arena. Although the itsy-bitsy bikini chicks were not bad, they paled in comparison to the Herculean Xena. She was obviously the best performer of the night, walking away with the Best Dancer award, and together with her team mates, the Overall Champion. The group of us applauded very loudly because we felt she was the most deserving winner.

Oh, did I tell you Xena and her team chose to perform to Black Eye Peas' 'My Hump'? Not the original one, but the remixed version with PM Lee's 'Mai-Ham/Mai-Hiam'!

When I heard PM Lee's voice boomed out in Zouk, I couldn't help but whisper to YY:
"Told you they had balls."

Love at first sight?

listening to jessica simpson's 'A Public Affair'...

Overheard three 50 something year-old ladies chatting at the watercooler. Like the three witches from Macbeth.

A: Please lor. Young people these days don't believe in love at first sight.
B: Ya, that's during our time. My children tell me there's no such thing called love at first sight anymore.
C: So sad! Then how?
A: Nowadays...

Interesting watercooler talk but I didn't hear the rest of it. My bottle was almost overflowing and it seemed rude to linger on.

No camera phones allowed from Monday onwards

listening to complaints from all my colleagues...

NO THANKS TO YOU SILLY, JUVENILE, CHILDISH BOYS WHO DECIDED TO MAKE MOCKERY OF YOUR SAF TRAINING STINT!!!

Your video is not amusing. It's nauseating actually. When we saw it on YouTube, we were repulsed by your vulgarities and childishness. Your behaviours reminded us of those rogue soldiers that we read in books and papers, as well as see on the telly.
Those who plunder instead of protect. Those who kill instead of save.
None of us found it funny.

Now we all have to buy new phones without camera functions because of security reasons. Yes, we are angry because suddenly we have to waste money to get phones we don't really want, we don't really need. Our privilege was revoked because of you.

Are we only making a din because the incident has inconvenienced us? No. The slight inconvenience only served as a catalyst to post this piece. Sometimes we forget that our actions have repercussions and they not only bring trouble to others, but to those around as well.

YOU STUPID KIDS! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!

LL is for loud-loud

listening to jesse mccartney's 'Right Where You Want Me'...

Friday is but another day of the week, 24 hours like the rest of the six days. Then how can so many things happen in one day?

~~~
The day started well and peaked when I received a message out of the blue from someone nice :) Totally made my day. By five pm, I was in high spirits in for the night session. Finally, someone within the Mad Pack is settling down. Congratulations LL! We decided to go to Velvet drink to his marriage bliss.


Pi lost during the drinking game, and was sent to the Losers' Corner, where she had to dance alone until the next loser emerged.


We finished the bottle of vodka and went off to Wine Bar, in our attempt to get LL drunk.


The beginning of the end...


Four flaming lamborghinis, two zambuccas and lots of vodka later, LL could barely keep his eyes open. He was roaring (yes, ROARing) in Zouk while Groove Amada was spinning. I had to apologise on LL's behalf to everyone around us. Haiz... Never said sorry so many times in one night!!!

LL's galfriend came to pick him later and we went to the valet to collect the cars.

Think it was destined for LL to get drunk and us to wait for his gf. Everything happens for a reason. That's why I stood where I was, and saw what I wasn't supposed to see. So much pretence in one night. Wasn't it tiring?

After I put down the phone with him, I called W immediately.

Kay: Tell me I'm better than that thing.
W: Of course! You're way better.
Kay: It's his loss, not mine right?
W: Definitely. And you're a silly gal.
Kay: I just needed to know.
W: Tsk tsk. You two are playing some kind of stupid games. I'll scold you another time.

Before I get W's stern lashings, I've already come to terms that I can wait till the cows come home, but the leopard never changes its spots. The cows ain't coming home either.

Defence mechanism

listening to coco lee's 'Hip Hop Tonight'...

The mimosa plant folds its leaves when touched.

The skunk lets off a foul stench when provoked.
The ostrich hides its head.
The bull frog bulges itself.
The millipede coils up.
Plants and animals' defence mechanisms.

Kay's method:

When faced with unpleasant situations or things that I cannot handle, I become extremely tired and weary. My eyes refuse to stay open and my body craves sleep. The brain stops functioning and I need to shut down my system. Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
It's been proven several times, including yesterday. Never knew a chanced meeting and a simple conversation could be so draining.
If only I had run into the house immediately. If only I didn't spend time lingering at my car. Then maybe I wouldn't feel so washed out today.

Train Ad

listening to paris hilton's 'Stars Are Blind'...

Next time you take the MRT,
Open your eyes to try spot me!



The rest of them are envious of Garrick and me coz we don't take the MRT.
Hyak hyak hyak!!! No more sleeping and drooling on the train!!!

Strange encounter

listening to gigi leung's 'Pian Jian'...

It was one of those nights, hanging out with people I know, as well as people whom I don't.
SL brought a couple of her friends along to join us. The usual shoptalk proceeded until we found out that one of the guys could read fortune! Immediately he became the centre of everyone's attention. I even barter traded services with him inside Wine Bar. I took his pulse and diagnosed his health while he looked into my future. Hmm... wonder if he could tell I was just hoodwinking him about his condition. *muahahaha*

So what did he say about me?
Not telling. Not supposed to divulge the heavenly secrets.

E's Wedding

listening to justin timberlake's 'Sexyback'...

On mc today coz of painful back.

Area between the shoulder blades to be more precise. Doc prescribed Pontalon to relax the muscles, but it feels more like a bone problem to me. I probably need to crack my back and pop the joints. Had been feeling under the weather since last week, but it started taking the downward turn on Monday.

The curse of De Gang's wedding is still very much alive! Nevertheless, I'd rather have my girls skipping happily down the aisle and me falling sick, than to miss their big days.

2006 is a good year. Both BM and E got married. Now I'll have to wait till 2008 for the next gang member to tie the knot. What about 2007??? Quick SY, PH! Somebody do something soon!
~~~



Feast fit for a groom.
(fr left to right: chicken backsides, Sichuan tofu with tobasco, bittergrass jelly, tao huay in honey, Super Lemon with icing sugar)


XJ: What lovely white bum you have, Ms Chicken!


XJ couldn't guess E's ears.
Hmm... shows that you haven't been whispering sweet nothings into her ears eh?


The couple wept tears of joy when groom went into the bride's room.
Aw... poignant moment...


After the church ceremony.
I must learn to laugh with my mouth shut.


The new Mr and Mrs Goh!

Mini XJ on the right.


Wedding dinners are always the best times to take photos.


In the end, we didn't manage to get a proper picture with the couple because the photographer went back!!! Huh?! So we took with our cameras and they turned out alright too.

Three husbands in the picture. More to come!


In the bridal suite, on the matrimonial sofa.



Till the next wedding or baby shower, whichever comes first!

Busy weekend

listening to harlem yu's 'Jing Jing De'...

One of the busiest week in my life.
Also one of the best.
Celebrated BW's birthday.
Hosted the RSAF Openhouse.
And the highlight of this week: E finally tied the knot with XJ.

The wedding was beautiful. Ravishing bride, handsome groom, wicked bridesmaids, hilarious groomsmen. Elements for the perfect fairy tale.
All set to post, but let me organise my thoughts first.

Cosy Covo in the Woods

listening to jay chou and fei yuqing's 'Qian Li Zhi Wai'...
An odd pair. Strange collaboration. Even more baffling, it works. The tune sticks in my head and I actually hum along with Fei Yu Qing. *shudder*

~~~
The Mad Pack turned up in full force at Greenwood to spy on SL, her friends and her blind date. Initially only three persons were there, but gradually, we all streamed in, and ended up swarming the restaurant. I guess we weren't discreet enough coz SL's friend recognised us and acknowledged our presence. Oops. More detective remedial lessons required.

After dinner, we searched for a place to sit and drink. Found the newly opened joint, Covo, round the bend. The owner's an interior designer, which explains the impeccable taste in his choice of deco. You have to check out the tap. It stumped SL. Service was attentive and the desserts were pretty good. BW ordered a chocolate cake, and when it arrived we rushed upon it like crazed pirhanas. The second cake was also gone within minutes.


Nice quaint place without overzealous waiters... I bet we'll be hanging out there more often in the near future.
