washington dc, canada

putrajaya is nice. its clean and big. makes you feel like you're in washington dc but with loads more asian tourists. even their pasar malam is clean. no roaches shopping alongside you like in some. loadsa food. no kidding y'all! a shitload of food. i had 3 types of keropok lekor and washed it down with a kebab daging! my tummy ached but we had a blast.



to unwind for the weekend, llew was performing at alexis so kyan gathered us round : he is our shepard and we are but his sheep. met some beautiful new faces. models from canada! i'm happy to report that these models are super friendly nice people. perhaps because their canadian? < i have no idea what i meant by that.



enjoy!

damn the battery of my camera for dieing on our kalumpang trip but thank goodness for syamly + dzu (our trips designated photographers). so go over to their blogs to see me beautiful pix..

lights camera + here's johnny

i love launches. its like tasting free cookie samples from mrs. fields or all the flavours from baskins but better. i went to maison last night with my nieces nadja + qamra in tow. upon arrival it felt like oscar night but wetter. firstly, there was the infamous red carpet and then there was a massive camera (like you'd see spielberg use) on the biggest tripod ever (correction, it wasn't a tripod, it was like those cranes you see at constructions sites) rotating 360º. and then there was this huge massive screen which showed whatever the cameras were filming (and every friggin' pore on yer face mate!). makes you feel just like a movie star. so after feeling so glamourous, i caught a glimpse of myself in the glass; i am oh-so-not dressed like a starlet. so who cares right? as long as i am comfortable i will have a good time i thought. however, as i entered i saw ladies dressed in friggin' gowns! muthafuc! everyones dressing up to the max??! then i realized that those were models dressed in haute couture and its just part of the festivities. chilakak tul - phew

found my crew a.k.a the kayu ara posse that consists of dzu, hanis and azam (returning member). ifzan the president was missing. and also was present was the wangsa maju duo; ena and syamly. dzu looked good (its about time girl). she felt she was too casual but i thought she looked cool ((sila kembang)).

anyway, props for the free booze and familiar faces and a big fat boo to the guy in black who yelled out "cantik tasbeh" to me. hey if i need a fashion commentor, it won't be from you jackass! you johnny cash wannabe.

like nancy

i just came to realize that i wore the same outfit (a blue and red striped tee from dorothy perkins + a pair of dark blue boot cut denim jeans + a white belt + white pointy flats + yellow handbag) two saturdays in a row. and the darndest thing is that i can prove it. quite embarrassing actually. kinda like that comic strip nancy. same outfit all the time.

ok let's start with last week, my dearest friend shila had a baby shower. unfortunately i came two hours late due to the fact my mum lost her car grant and i had to help her look for it. i couldn't escape, she got me cornered.

when i arrived, shila was opening her presents. the food was great. there were cucumber sandwiches, bruschetta, super mini cupcakes + brownies. i was in sugar heaven. i didn't even budge when shila announced it was my presents turn. anyway, we all had a piece of card to write a message for shila's baby. kinda like words of wisdom, especially for the baby from you. many of the girls wrote practical advise like don't do drugs + don't mix your alcohol (very true). i just told him to 'always follow his dreams no matter where it leads'. corny? yes it was very..







thank goodness on friday i wore something different. went to luna for a farewell dinner. emilie was going back to france and she won't be working here any more. she'll be teaching in laos. damn you laos for taking my friend away! < felt like having a go at some melodramatics. had a great time despite being asked to move four times.







and atlast, the second sighting: last saturday, i wore a blue and red striped tee from dorothy perkins + a pair of dark blue boot cut denim jeans + a white belt + white pointy flats + yellow handbag for a lomo event at borders in times square. and i bumped into shila's brother, shariar + his girlfriend (i met them at shila's baby shower) dang! so now there's two people who probably thinks i don't have any other clothes to wear or i am like nancy.

but in the end, it was a day of pleasant surprises and nervous breakdowns. i met my old friend radhi + his wife + his baby boy. i can brag that i know him personally - not like my pipe dream relationship with peterpan ok? oh arielllllll.. and then i met my high school friend azwin with her daughter. i was surrounded with people i used to snuck into clubs with and now they are with kids. lets just say i left in a cold sweat and my biological clock ranged, and left a message to call back! eeeeeeeeeeeek!

i feel like dancing

i haven't been out for awhile. so i decided to drown my sorrows (that would be another blog entry) by going out with my friend kyan who is the master of all things wild. and in tow, there was his muse farah a.k.a ling ling (my dear old friend, we've been friends since we were nine), his partner in crime, llew and his partner in business, yen. i tried retracing my steps and this is what i could recall..
