It's Not Just The Angpau

Couple of times a year, some couples decides to tie the knots and convene a convention of spectators to help commemorate their big day... and so, I am the usual spectator who will never really plan further on how to go, what to wear, but I do ponder on who will I be sitting with. After all, it's gonna be a couple of hours of sitting and pretend to be nice and gentle with a smirk, a smile and a well mannered tone to blend in well with the atmosphere.

the recent dinner. luxe!!!

I love clubbing! Despite that there are gazillion hot chicks in the clubs. all chicks in the clubs are hot, afterall :) and that includes me. I dont hate wedding dinners, but neither do i hope to have to attend a couple of those dinners in a year. Clubbing gives me a boost of confidence. Dinners shove my esteem all the way back to the Fallopio tube... ok, maybe not that farrrr away..

people whom i always sat with. sien..

(Jo's wedding)

Dinners are really horrifying. In most cases. Sometimes u are seated next to a some muted guest who come with readily planted with a static smirk. Then u gotta start communicating by planting a smirk on your own too, since there isn't gonna be any interesting topic.

memang no topic. sien.. (Lai Yoong's wedding)

if no topic, then just camwhore..

or scratch some back.. :P

Yeah, who to go with is a rather essential factor. If you don't want to get bored, you better make sure u are either super social or you wouldnt mind making new friends who may not be that friendly despite u asking millions of well-mannered question.. By all means if u have some extra cash for angpau, tag a boyfriend along :) , tho not something I condone. Well at least not in my case.. Can u imagine in a year's time, if u have like a couple of these dinners, and each time I may appear with a different guy, people will eventually be doubtful to even strike a conversation with me.

They can't ask : "So wen are u tying the knot?" -- cus just 3 months back it's another guy!! ( :D i am not a player, mind ya )

They also can't be asking : "Oh, this is your boyfriend?" cus they coud have asked the same question 4 months back when it was another guy! So eventually they may shut up -___- and leave me even more alone.. (*The write do not condone multiple relationship. SHe is just a casual dater, not a player ;P )

it's kinda easy to spot me in any dinner, cus i 'd be walking around with the traditional costume of other race with a flower on my head :P

Yup, for the 2nd time, I am attending Chinese wedding in sarees again :)

Overpriced Nasi Lemak

mengelamun
where is the overpriced food?

we jammed up Summer @ Quattro :)

battle of the boob about to begin
rude u!!

serious complot of the futsal player, the inspector and the researcher

I love meeting up with old friends.
I hate to make Mid Valley the meeting point.

I do not see any valid reasoning to be hanging out in Steven's corner as an attempt to catch up with people whom I have not met for long.

I have long concluded that these mamak joints are actually bird watching spots for a lot of yuppies and thus have stopped patronising.

I just prefer to be in random places, trying out different stuff and not get my hair all oiled up from the burning tandoori chicken..

I see no wrong in going to a more comfortable venue to have talks without being pestered by VCD peddlers.

As I try to fill in more words to this post, I also realised something --- this is not the kinda stuff that I would lament on my blog..merely because :-

- it doesn't excite me emotionally

- I do not have friends who are models, artiste or merely bimbos who can appear cute in pictures. Instead, I have police inspector, researchers, doctors, futsal player and lots of working executives friends who have low-risk, low-profile life.

The exec

The exec-cum futsal player-/the inspector /- the soon-to-be-jobless-researcher

the IT nerd

the batik lady

Nevertheless, I do enjoy a good night out having overpriced food that comes with the ambience and the comfort of not having the hair being oiled with the memsmerising tandoori aroma :)

Not to mention exorbitant parking rate. Then again, this is KL, what ya expect?

mumbo jumbo

And Thats All I Did On the Eve of Kong Hei Fat Choi..

brrr........

This is how I feel every time Chinese New Year come. Not the kinda celebration that I look forward to.. Over the years, having to go through the almost stagnant process of visiting people from one point to another covering more location every year made me ponder the real meaning of the 'event'.

Synonym to the culutre of the chinese whom are known to be enterprising and posesses good business acumen, and will do anything that the feng shui master instruct just to get some luck or strike some 4D, the celebration too are called Gong Xi Fa Cai! which literally says : Hope u get big fortune !! man... that just shows how our mind really never steer away from the wealth eh...... while the rest of the people exclaims 'Happy New Year' , we yelled 'Hope U Strike Some Fortune'.

As auspicious at it may be, it's really annoying.. though I would love to be flushed with a pot of wealth at the scream of the greeting. I supposed it just shows how we Chinese honour the piece of paper with the Agong's face that it has become a sort of celebration that the new year will bring more Agong's face to the wallet.

I foot his bill :S

Eve of new year is just.. another weekend of nothingness. Nope, didn't feel delirious nor happy to usher the new year since Ma have repeatedly remind me that I am gonnna be in a string bad luck since I am a cruel person...of no positive karma.. so it's confirmed Im gonna see u guys in hell.

Tea time with 'cocky'. Someone just attempted to pay for the food amounting to RM16.10 with a credit card. WTF WTF WTF .... waitress confused. I paid. FULL STOP.

All I had for reunion dinner.

Reunion dinner was never grand for us since there is only me and Ma. Nevrtheless there is always food, which I am fine. was roaming Jusco with 'cocky' to get his HTC stylus.. bad idea..... Kepong is dominated by gold haired ah bengs, and its Chinese new year's eve ... what wud u expect to find in an area dominated by Chinese yuppies at 6.30pm ??

reached home at 7pm and Ma stared at me point blank.

Ma : eh!! U are back? err.. I ate alredi. Thought u are not coming back for dinner. (heads to shower)

Me : --_____--

And that was the harmonious dinner we had to usher 2009.

Went out with 'cocky' again later that nite to watch 'Dunia Di Bawah : UNDERWORLD- THE RETURN OF THE LYCAN. Man!!!! If all that is required to make a movie, I think I can do it too.. Make the characters turn into some weird beast, then each beast start slashing at the human. Slash, slash, slash.. reminds me of Hari Raya haji, where people sembelih lembu massively, so the cows all return and revenges by slashing the human bean back... OURWORLD : THE RETURN OF THE LEMBUS...

snap, snap fireworks!

By the time we are out in the parking, 'cocky' saw fireworks in the sky. demanded i stop the car and watch firework.. U_____U

the land of the Ah Bengs and gangsters anene, KEPONG


photography skills sucks

Been living in Kepong for 2 years plus or so. In fact this is the first time I sorta really never bother to look out into the sky of Kepong all this while I resides here. Cus I hte where I am :(

Then the fireworks display were everywhere.. within a gap of 30 second another new fireworks at a different spot occurs. Well, it clearly pointed out that Kepong people are rich... (maybe due to repeated greetings of KONG HEI FAT CHOI)

As far as I am concerned a 5 minutes show of fireworks display with arrays of actions definitely equals the amount of deposit required to purchase a national car, the very least. And there are many 5 minutes or more display that we have witnessed and put in clear evidence with the unskilful photography skills the both of us combined. :D

nope, no one set Kepong ablaze yet.


another display of bad skills

How's your new year?
