I’ve been busy the past week and as a result, I have not been updating my blog. Well actually, it’s more like I’m lazy to update because whatever free time I have left, I didn’t want to spend it by blogging. So anyway, I’ll do a recap of the week’s highlights starting last Monday:

Monday
Spent a quiet dinner after work in a cafe while trying to finish my book. Relaxing and chilling night.

Tuesday
Watched the Angels & Demons movie. Although I didn’t read the book, but I thought it was really good. Even people who read the book says it’s good…so it’s all good! :P

Wednesday
Was drinking at 3 places after work. Started off with Happy Hours at Bernard’s bar below my office with Livvy, Rabin and Jacqueline. Then moved on for Digital Wednesday event at Souled Out. Digital Wednesday is a monthly gathering organized by the Digital Association of Malaysia, where people from the industry gather to mingle and exchange ideas. There was of course drinking involved too. Later, I met up with Samantha, Zia Zia and Paul at Sid’s pub where we drink and catch up.

Thursday
A brutal night thanks to Jacqueline. It all began when I met her up at her place to give her some movies. Then, went on to Sid’s (again) for drinks after having dinner. Each of us had 3 glasses of wine, 1 pint of beer (with a splash of whiskey as some drunkard poured it into our beer!) and to top it off with a pint of Cider. By the time I was home, I couldn’t walk straight!

Friday
Woke up with a slight headache because of the previous night. Wasn’t feeling well at work in the morning (signs of a hangover!). Jacq said she was also the same and she was puking! Luckily I wasn’t as bad as her. Was feeling better after lunch though. After work, met up with Janice, Zara, Jef and 3 more of Jef’s friends (couldn’t remember their names..I think one of them is named Shirley) at TTDI Plaza. Was drinking again, but this time…not as crazy..but somehow..there was still a total of 4 jugs of beer though. I also found out on this day that I was "promoted" from being a friend to BFF status ;)

Saturday
Ellen, Yulius, Kristin and Jacq came over my place for drinks. And then, Jacq (being Jacq) and I adjourned for a second round of drinks…at where else…Sid’s (are you starting to see a pattern here?).

Sunday
Met up with the "Reban Gang" Zara, May Lynn, Suzanne and Tina at Delicious for tea at Bangsar Village 2. I haven’t met Tina ever since she moved back here permanently after her 16 years in Australia. It was good to see her again. It’s never a boring outing especially when those around you are female…because OMG the amount of gossip! But it’s really entertaining nevertheless.

So there, my week in summary. Now you know why I haven’t been updating? I hope this week is not as bad, because there are a few planned events happening…

Upcoming stuff this week: To catch “Monsters vs Aliens”, a Tweetup happening in KL @ TwentyOne and a party for my college mates at my place because one of them is getting married. Phew…if you don’t hear from me, stay tuned for my next batch update…hehe!

Some things to look forward to this weekend..

1. Drinking session
2. Fly a kite (seriously!)
3. Watch Slumdog Millionaire
4. Experimenting on an alcoholic dessert
5. Meeting up some old friends
6. Another drinking session
7. Attend a wedding dinner

Phew! Looks like I’m going to have a busy weekend. Will show some pictures (if any) on next post…stay tuned!

I’m going to try and not make this post too long and go into details but instead let the pictures do the talking.

Last Thursday night, I met up with Olivia and some of her friends at Poppy in KL for Josh Wink. Now, some people I know…don’t even know who Josh Wink is…but after I asked them to Wikipedia / Google him or "Higher State Of Consciousness" then they go…"OHHH…SO THAT’S JOSH WINK!". It’s sad that people only remember him for that, but he has a lot of other good mixes too which I think wasn’t really promoted well. Special thanks to Jamie for putting me on the guest list, although my supposed group of "kampung" I promised her didn’t show up that night…hehe

Olivia & I

On Saturday morning, I got up at 6AM because one of my good friend Adrian is getting married and we (the "heng tais") have to be at his place by 7AM to be "briefed" and ready to battle the "chi muis". Now it’s an honor to be part of someone’s entourage but it can also be "suffering" to some extend. It’s a tradition that all of us "heng tais" have to endure several stupid tasks setup by the "chi muis" before the groom can get to his bride. We were very lucky that some of the task didn’t involve eating anything.

All the "Heng tais"…ready for battle!!!

The "Chi Muis"…so ganas…got cane sommore!! =(

TASK 1: Wear underwear that spells out "WE R HERE 4 STELLA!"

This one reminded me of detention class back in high school!

TASK 2: All "Heng Tais" have to wax part of their leg

and this is the result of that, this morning…

can you see a square smooth patch on my leg?? =(

TASK 3: Sing a song and include words like "Stella", "Siew Yok" and "Por-por"

"Only Stellaaaa…."

After all that…they still didn’t want to let us in…and still demanded more money. But well, like I said…we got it easy…so the groom paid up an undisclosed amount after all of us negotiated. We later went to church for mass, and to get the blessing from the church. At this point…all the "heng tais" was supposed to provide transportation to all the "chi muis" to church and back.

The bride and groom after church - CONGRATS ADRIAN & STELLA!

Church ended around noon and then there was lunch and also the tea ceremony. After that, everyone was tired and went back to rest for the dinner. I love wedding dinners. Not only you can get to eat good food, but it’s also a good place to see the friends who have been missing in action for long periods. I got to catch up with my college buddies and also friends which I have not seen for such a long time.

The BFG Reunion with new members…

And of course how can a wedding dinner do without booze right? I for one was mixing red wine and whiskey all night. But well, there wasn’t any major casualties but Kevin and Anthony (the best men) were definitely the "targets" of the night. Hehe..

NOTE: Some of the pics (without watermarks) are taken off Anthony’s album on Facebook

Hey loyal readers. In case you haven’t noticed, it’s been quite awhile since I last updated the blog. I have been super busy for the past 2 weeks, having so many project deadlines back to back that going back around 730-8PM daily has become a norm. But having said that, I somehow still found time to accommodate guest to my condo throughout the week.

On Tuesday, Olivia and Rabin came over for a couple of glasses of Glenfiddich, and just to chill out, then on Thursday my ex colleagues brought pizzas and opened a bottle of Jack Daniels and last night, my cousins came over and chill out with a bottle of wine. Wow…my place is becoming a bar of sorts…but I’m not complaining because it was intentionally meant to be that way in the first place…hahah..

After the pizza dinner…

Wine night..

I just finished Sunday brunch with Suzanne, May Lynn, Bee Leng, and Evie at La Bodega, Bangsar. I must say, I think I’m becoming more of one of the girls the more I hang out with them as the topics of conversation were on Brazillian waxing, pubic hair…and errr…ok…enough information for now…but you get the point…topics that only girls talk about…and they don’t seem to noticed that a guy is actually in their group =.= What’s more…they are coming over to my condo later to watch the Sex And The City movie! * Updated pic @ 10:38PM *

Well, I guess should enjoy my weekend for now (or what’s left of it…sigh!), as I will be having a very busy week ahead. 2 new projects to be completed before the next weekend *faints*. Then again, I also got 3 events happening in a row starting Thursday night….so hopefully, that will be my "de-stress" and motivation factor. So if I don’t update my blog, it’s because I’m too busy….either working or partying…hahaha.. Oh…btw… HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEA LI! ;)

There seems to be so much going on this week, and I don’t think I have the time to write each event as a new entry. So I shall just summarize it here.

Actual Stupidity:
I actually saw this one guy at an optical shop the other day who was there to change the lens of his glasses. Why? Because the dumb ass stuck a screen protector on both his lens and now he needs to get them out! I was holding back my laughter when I heard what he wanted to do. I mean a screen protector on a pair of glasses?? WTF??!!

My New Love:
YAY! I finally bought the camera. I was playing it yesterday when I got it and there is only one word to describe it…..AWESOME! OMG! The night shots I took were so clear and it looks so natural even with the flash on! I got to say, at first I felt guilty for buying it, but after using it….NO REGRETS what so ever. Well, I will post up some pictures taken using my new camera later on, so look out for it.

Current Hooks:
I’ve been trying out Bursa Pursuit which is an online site for people who wants to get a taste of how to trade in the stock market. I got to say, it’s quite interesting, although I am a newbie when it come to trading and investing in this area. Nevertheless, it’s a good way to learn. Who knows I might even win something out of it!

Upcoming Weekend Events:
This weekend seems to be packed. Hey, I’m not bragging that I’m happening or anything but you know how sometimes everything just seem to happen on the same weekend? Yea, so this weekend things that I’m looking forward to are:

1. Oktoberfest
RM1 for a mug of beer? Yeah, you can bet me and my friends will be there.

2. Ee Laine’s Birthday
Not sure where the birthday girl wants to go, but all she hinted was she wanted to get super wasted (I wonder why)..so will be in for a not so sober night.

3. Time to Pay Saman (Elaine’s Wedding)
Yup, my high school classmate is finally getting married. Congrats Elaine!

4. Reban’s Night Out?
I’m not sure if this will actually take place, but May Lynn says Suzanne wanted to go somewhere and get everyone together. But nothing confirmed as yet.

So there! All the updates for now. Check back soon for errr…more updates and of course photos! :)
