Monash Ball 2006:

Could still smell the hair spray in my hair as i killed myself in Fitness First on Saturday. In front of me was N, the main organizer of the ball. Further in front was K, my classmate who the instructor of Bodypump. Just another day at the gym, the day after the ball. The magic is lost.

So distant... yet so fresh in my mind! =)

The narcissist side of me emerges! 3 and a half hours getting ready for the ball. Whoa. Did i really take that long? Mom took the pix, she loves me! Too bad i'm too shy to pose when i'm with her. Unlike bro...

Ohhh, love this hairstylist! Been doing hair with her for the past 3 proms/balls. Simple, fast and cheap, my do cost only RM21. Shortly after date arrived! With some foreign student friends who needed a ride. 4 guys and i'm the only girl in the car! Hahah. Weird.

Even with bad traffic, we got there real early. Chilled at the cafe, 5 of us. Date asked, want a drink? "No", i replied, assuming i had to pay, what to do i'm a modern girl! =P

Only when he said, "My treat", i said "ok!!!". Hahaha. He noted the sudden change of mind! I just laughed la. Nice iced cappucino! Hehehe, should have taken a pic

Wait wait wait, cuz DL, who has our tix checked into a room n was still getting ready. Saw my secondary bestfriend at the ball, either she pretended not to see me or she didnt see me or my make-up made me unrecognizable. She didn't so much as look in my direction me. In fact, she looked away. And her date is someone she swears she has no feelings for for about 2 years now. He didn't say hie to me either. But he probably didn't recognise me, he looked damned blur.

Who cares!?

Went to DL's room. Was expecting some student rate dump, but guess again! Total utter coolness, damn it, the picture is Date's cam n not in mine. DL and 4 other guys were dressed in suits and ties and they were at this long table playing cards ala casino!

Told us to take a look around the suite. So Date and i did. Camwhored too! Wahaahah, check it out.

Look at our smiles, just look at it! Being on the couch automatically makes u smile that way!

So soooo much fun!

Hehehe, he sat there and i pointed the camera and said "Pretend to be some bigshot business man!".

Look at this!
His n hers toilets! And there is a jacuzzi too! But didnt get a pic of that.

Soon after the girls were ready and we left the room and to the grand ballrooml! No goodie bags for us fashionably late superstars!

My Date requested swapping dates for this picture. So he's with DL's girlfriend, the very stunning JL from TAR College and i'm next to the 'head of the casino table', DL.

Pictures of the others at our table for ten is not in my camera... and i'm really upset to learn that the picture of the Monash Cheer Team captain YM, her boyfriend M, DLYS and her date J did not turn out! =(

But this one turned out really well! =)

SC and i. I'm so glad she pulled me to the ice sculpture for our photo. The ice is of the Monash University Student Association (MUSA)'s logo! Super cool. Loving the night.

Next. Bloggers!
Blogger JT and i! =) Super sweet and nice girl, she booked my airline ticket for me and we're flying off together on the 12February! Future Monash University Peninsula Campus girls.

When hunting for people to snap pictures with i caught sight of another blogger, MUSA's Publicity Officer, i called out "J! Take photo" and he said "Ahhh, Sue Lin, my childhood friend!"

Photo is from his cam, mine turned out bad. But this one is soooo good, since we were looking at my camera and not at his, this picture has the 'we're-superstars-and-everyone-is-taking-photos-of-us effect!' Hahahaha

Aiyoh, soooo sooo sad that i didn't see Miss Publicity Head of Monash Business Club or her boyfriend that night! So sad. She's a blogger too =(

The whole night is about taking photos! Regret not taking a photo with the Monash King, his nickname is King, cuz he claims to be "the king of the world" and we call him King, thinking that his name really is King... know that fella from the Cheer Club! Hahah. He performed the talent part well, he danced and striped, and when he striped, he even took off a bra! Funny

The next photo is of three Cheer Club members: Me (who can't dance), HM who doesn't have the body of an anorexic but can dance really shit well, she performed for the ball but i must have missed her performance =( and my beloved Monash bestfriend DLSY. B, if u are reading this your lil sister is a shit good, hot dancer!!!
That's me, me Date and an intruder in purple! Hahaha, just kidding, R's a friend to the both of us so took a picture together. Her boyfriend took the photo, poor guy, kena bulllied again! Haha

Top left: Sort of study partner KH, really scary guy... cuz he's so hardworking! Been meeting him in university every Sunday for the past two weeks to do assignments!
Top right: Tiny and cute ST, one of the few Ausmats left in Monash. She eats like mad but she's forever slim!
Bottom left: Head of security for the ball, ex-president for CPA Accounting Club, CM. Love this guy! HW, if u are reading this, ur boyfriend is sooooo kind hearted and generous with knowledge! Love him!
Bottom right: My Date again, ignore him! Haha, the guy sitting down is crappy crappy L, President of the Christian Fellowship. Used to hang out quite a bit in the first year.

In the picture below, my Date and i, and H,this super friendly Malaysian who is from Singapore! He's funny and REALLY good at remembering names and faces!
DLYS again, K and i! Ever so polite K. Going to miss seeing u every Saturday at Fitness First next year!

My Date had to leave at around midnight. Dun laugh at Mr Cinderella, he has a trip to Melacca the next day! Haha. A picture of us together.

Love the lights, makes us look like movie stars! Before leaving he gave me a handshake (cuz he's friends with E). And then he kneeled down and kissed my hand!

Malunya, but DLYS said "Wah so nice!" and she wanted it too so he did it for her, and i feel less stupid! Hahaha. My Date's a gentleman! Haha, i find it weird, in this modern world.

During dinner, when we were eating, the was a slow song playing n he asked me if i could dance. Eh... i've taken classes 3 years ago but threw it all out the window, but u know your Blogger, she likes adventure, so she said "Simply dance la".

Then he asked me to dance! A bit shocked la, as much as i love adventure, normally they open the dance floor only at the end of the ball (trust me, it's my 4th Ball... actually it's my fifth), so i conveyed my concern since i dun wanna be a dungu dancing there.

So he went up to ask! Too bad, i was right, dance floor ain't open.

The dance floor opened RIGHT after he left. DLYS was the one who coaxed me into staying longer, she offered me a ride so that i wouldn't have to depend on my Date. The first song was a slow song and she danced with her date.

I felt shit out of place man! So lonely. I missed E terribly. And i wanted to call my Date to bring me home- he probably hasn't reached his car... i called once. Twice. Three times. Line busy. =( I sat down at the closest chair i could find. And started to sms E loh... Hahaha.

Thank God, for me, that they only played one slow song! Hehehehe, then just butt into DLYS and her date. She welcomes me wan. But try to leave them alone a bit and went to CM's group. And then back to DLYS... and then onto the stage, danced in a circle with some of the new cheerleaders... =)

The crowd started to thin down... and my feet started to KILL... and then they announced that it was the last song...

Ah. It was wonderful relieving the night writing this post. I blog as if i were writing in my Diary, engraving my memories on paper, i mean online. Though it's a night i wouldn't forget, i wouldn't remember everything in minute detail. Love Blogging =)

Free gifts! From Forever 21. They allowed us to take a few so i got one for myself.
One for my bestest study partner L who wasn't there that night.
One for WS who helped me put on my make-up (DL told me i looked chun and YM said i looked so preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeety).
One for DLYY who skipped class and accompanied me shopping for the ball, she also dressed up my Date for me, she lent him a coat and a vest =).
One for C, her bday is coming soon. Hahaha =P She's been a great friend for about 5 years now.
My Date helped me get a J for my lil baby sister!


Last but not least, me! Un-photoshopped, nothing.

Ok a little photoshop but just cleared the background... don't want the photoframes of uncles and aunties in this pic!

Hope u had as much fun reading this as i did writing it! =)


















Technorati tags: Sue Lin, Baybeetea, Monash Ball, Royale Escapade

Record Breaker!

For the first time ever, i handed out an assignment early! Exactly 72hours early! Hehehehe, exactly 3 days! Feels great! All thanks to my partner, G who kept on insisting we hand it out today instead of Monday so he could go back to Johor Bahru for the study break.

For the first time ever, i have time to blog before going for a ball... overestimated the time to do my hair, even after being 1hour behind, i find myself with so much time. Even practiced smiling!

Hahaha, Hope i remember what i practiced! Too bad i only knew i was going for the ball about a week ago. Now i'm wearing GREEN braces. It's gonna turn out so weird.

Contact lens feel weird in the right eye, better fix it. Maybe give u a "before" camwhore picture...

Maybe not. Later!

Screwed Up

Don't know what's wrong with me this semester. Really screwing up. Putting off writing my resume and applying for those internships for over a week as of today. The due date is tomorrow and i've got a million things to do!

Also slacked really bad on my part of a group assignment. Simply HATE the subject. Dry, boring theory!

Pussycat Dolls in Malaysia

Old news, i know. But better late than never right? So...

Pussycat Dolls in Malaysia, Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach. 26th July 2006. Willing to pay RM200 but Surf beach? Eeek, a concert in water? Yuck, Hesitated, bought RM70 tickets thinking that being far back, i wouldn't have to go into the water, changed my mind and sold off my ticket on the day of the concert itself.

But something made me ask the officials after that, would the concert be in water? Nope, they're taking out the water! Shittttt, if only i knew earlier! Sent smses to whoever i knew was interested. JW, she can't go. Tried JC, ah, jackpot, someone i know who is going!

Bought a new ticket for myself:


E refused to go cuz he just got his dread locks done then. But he did accompany me to Elephant Walk and he was willing to wait for me in the library.

After hours of waiting, sweating, complaining and weaving through the crowd... (and seeing my JC dance like mad during the opening act. He was drunk, i didn't know, so i joined him like idiot! Wahahaha, when i found out i damn malu. But hey, it was fun) ...the girls finally came on stage!

They're so tiny!

A little a lot closer!

My International Business Assignment 2 group mate, DL was there too in JC's group. With his girlfriend and his little sister. So sweet seeing him n his sis, they have the kind of relationship i never had with my brother. He piggybacked her when she couldn't see the stage. My bro's gf and i never exchange more than "hie", what more attend a concert together.

Really appreciate them including me in their group and in their photos! =) Damn, i should have thanked him after the concert. Oh well, would be weird if i sent him a message 2 months after the event.

The other half of the group consists of JC next to me, another International Business classmate, O from Sabah, her bf, her sis, sis's bf and i have no idea who the other guy is...

Forgive me for not looking great, when i got up that morning i didn't think i was going for PCD, hence the a sloppy dressing. I even lent my camera to IS that day itself thinking i didn't need it. Doesn't matter, my camera sucks anyway and i've got a couple of great friends to pass me the pix (although it took them ages)!

Towards the end of the concert, E told me he's going for the concert! With SI. For free! Met them and this guy EW who got them in for free. He's E's primary schoolmate who wanted to meet SI after 'meeting' her online but she didn't dare meet him without E, so yeah, that's why E went. That was 2 months ago, EW and SI are now a happy new couple =)

Made an effort to talk to my bro about the concert at home that night. U know, i was inspired after seeing DL and sister. My bro did go for the concert too, with his gf. We haven't talked without arguing since i have no freaking idea when...

It's a night i definitely wanna remember and Hope i got all the initials right! Ok, no blogging for the rest of d week!

Excited

Royale Escapade, that's the theme of Monash's annual ball. I'm going! Yay! =) =) =)

Forgive me but i'm as girl as ever deep down. Love dressing up and possibly even make up, just that laziness overrules vanity, so i never dress up nor put on any make up.

Wanted to go all along but couldn't due to financial restrain. Then friend belanja at the last minute (exactly one week before the event).

Hesitated. Cuz i've got nothing to wear! Dug my cupboard and found something somewhat ok: turned an orange n black tube dress into a skirt and pairing it with a simple black halter top. Then only accepted the offer! Hahhaha.

But would still be looking for a dress. Vanity!

Won't be Blogging this week cuz have an assignment due on the 22nd, which is the day ball falls on! Ah! Stress! Yawns

Oh shit! I'lll need to get a matching bag too! Ahhhhhh! =| Not to mention shoes! =\ Ish!

Too relaxed

No assignments due today, not on Monday too.

So this week, i've been way tooooo relaxed! If i wasn't sleeping early (Monday and Wednesday night), i was online catching up on Blogs or chatting (Tuesday and Thursday night). Damn.

Zombied throughout the day. A bit hyper due to the lack of sleep. A lil stressed. But too relaxed at the same time.

Celebrated D's 20th birthday at Italianni's at the Curve. It was really simple and fun. Let me list those who were present: D, LY, SC, SX, PY, SL, YY, M, E, S, SY and housemate, SR and i.

Ow, butt hurts from leg exercise in Fitness. Arms hurt too, been only going there once a week this month. =( Teeth hurts too, just tighten them. Braces, remember? Whole body's a wreck.

Might be going for the Monash Ball after all. So last minute. Should i go? It'd be free and E won't be going. I'd be someone else's date! Hahaha. And i'd probably have to drive to the Palace of the Golden Horses, which i don't mind at all. But i've got an assignment due on Friday. And nothing to wear to the ball.

Expect maybe this orange tube dress from Eclipse... but the skirt is not long, i always go for long full length skirts when it come to balls and proms... Advice?

Weird Compliments

1. Feminine Inspiration

Courtesy of F. When he told me i was his femine inspiration, i was like "WHAT?????" Hahaha.

"I'm losing touch with my feminine side, you are my only girl friend left here, i hardly see I, hardly see C; T and PL went off to Australia", he explained. Awwwwwwww, so sweet man!

Not like we talk THAT much also. But i do do the typical girl thing, i nag lar: ask him to study, ask him to apply for transfer and will ask him about flights to Aust soon. Actually, i do all that cuz it benefits me, i need to know someone who is headed for the same campus as me. That's not the point. =P

Such a sweeet the compliment! Hahaha. I didn't hear him properly the first time and asked him to repeat the phrase "feminine inspiration" so that i would remember it!


2.........

There's no phrase for this one. Study partner just said she's very angry at me but admires me at the same time. Muahahaha, i was so blur at first too.

She then explained that i keep on complaining "lazy" but in the end still i do all the things i said i'm lazy to do. She says that when she says she's lazy to do something, that's it, she won't do it!

Like that also can! Haha. But it's kinda true... The Street Party for example...

Was lazy to go for cheer practice. Not as semangat as i was last year. But glad i went in the end. Learnt hip hop instead due to the high attendance of the guy members and the absence of the female members. Even E joined in!! Hahaha. Damn hard ok? Cheer is easier.

Don't wanna do internship at the end of the year!!! But Study Partner has been bugging me! Ahhhhh, malas to even write resume! Supposed to be writing it now!

But at the end of the year, u'd hear me complaining about my intership.

I hope.

Won't Be Seeing Her in Two Years

Never done the whole seeing a friend off at the airport before, so i jumped at the chance! J left for the UK (Haven't Blogged about the farewell we had for her yet...)

As usual, E was rushing me!!! Making me hurry. He made me believe we were so late we could only get a glimpse of her as she leaves =P

And guess what, we were at the airport even before J's family! Hahaha! She had a big fan base at the airport towards the end! Haha. Nieces and nephews, some Ausmat people and a group of friends from school or Help. So many of us that her farewell was a "blur of faces and tears".

Awwww, i almost cried too ok? Seeing her hug her parents and her other family members, seeing her wipe her eyes, seeing her walk off...

How would mine be? The airport would be more crowded for sure, practically the whole Malaysia flies off to Australia to study in February... Would i want my friends there to see me off? I definitely would cry... what if i can't stop? Would i fly with E? Or should i fly with the bestfriend?

What definitely would not happen again is bumming into a local celebrity. As J was checking in her luggages, E saw Datuk K in the lane beside J! And then he saw Siti NurHaliza! They were flying to Singapore, perhaps on transit to the UK as well? Honeymoon?? Did not ask, but did get a photo! =)

Curse my stupid lousy 4 year old camera. Blur picture. Hope the picture on J's cam turns out better! Thanks E for taking 4 us, why didn't i ask if u wanted a pic too?

Ohhhh, by the way, my study partner and i had an assignment marathon at her place on Friday. Ah, can u beat us? =P Doing your assignment from 5pm to 5am. Only a short dinner break and toilet breaks. So proud of ourselves! Wanted to die at 4am. But just to reach the 12 hour mark, i stayed on! =) =)

Waiting for Blog updates J!!! =)

Question

When a girl's boobs sag, can she do anything to make it un-sag? What exercise she can do or anything?

No, i don't have saggy boobs. I have boobs so small its impossible to sag. Don't tell me even small ones can sag, thats why its important to wear bras! That's probably something a lingerie shop created.

So just wondering if its better to have BIG saggy boobs or small... ones

And dun tell me its better to have firm medium sized ones, duh, its obvious just-nice-ones are the best. I just wanna... u know, er... comfort myself that small is better than big but saggy...

What do u think???

Sleepover Weekend

Ibid supra inter alia obicter dicta cateris paribus

Learning Latin in Monash this semester... So hard until friend must stay over to do assignment together.

Haha, no lar, learning Law. Malaysian Company Law. So many of those Law terms are drilled into my head i thought i could write a paragraph of it here. End up only one line! =P The last one is an economic term actually, cateris paribus.

Slaved over the law assignment over the weekend. Horrible, reading about corporate governance, digging up info on MAS and Enron, who cares about the changes to Bursa Malaysia's Listing Requirements and the MCCG and the er... CLsomething! Hahah

By far the most horrible assignment yet.

Next weeekend i'm sleeping over at my friend's house. For another a-sigh-ment

Supra stressed. Had 3 misunderstandings with 3 different girl friends on 3 different issues at the same time yesterday. All via sms or through calls. It was crazy but worked out and cleared up pretty quickly. =)

Still. Supra stressed. Had to change my stupid tyre yesterday, lucky E changed it 4 me! Hahahaha. Wanted to help n not stand around useless, but when i helped i seem to be getting in his way... which made him angry... which made me sad... but ended up alright. Thanks E ! =)

Then sad to burn midnight oil again to get a present done. Although, i only slept 3 hours the night before (Sunday night)...

Busy week ahead too. Farewell for J on Wednesday. Obligation on Thursday to E. Fitness First before that. I think i have some sort of disorder already, i MUST exercise. Sleepover on Friday. Meeting C from Melacca on Saturday (after Fitness First). Assignment due Monday.

Really wanna finish the assignment by Saturday, 11am so that i can go for my Fitness... I'm losing confidence, going there is my only hope... since I LOVE TO EAT.

Ok, this post is getting offhand and i'm supposed to be doing my work. One last thing.

Notice all the green turtles on your msn??? If u don't know about it by now, from asking your friends, it is a tribute to Steve Irwin who was pierced in the heart by a sting ray yesterday (Monday). Front page story in the Star and in the Sun today. Sigh.

Really pity his wife and kids. The daughter is my sisters age!!!

Just One Photo, Two Years, Balloon in aTree

Yeah, Merdeka is not about our country for me, it's more about E and i. Sorry lar, but the first time i ever counted down for Merdeka was with him and yesterday night was the third time we're celebrating it together.

Two Year Anniversary. =) =) =)

A very simple on in Bukit Bintang. Since we are both born into average families and neither one of us are working.

Nothing much was planned, just went with the flow. Hungry, so we went to eat what i was craving for: Lot 10's food court Hot Plate noodles. YUMMM. 5pm

Lepak in Lot 10's super market. I tell u the people at the marketing people at the supermarket really know their shit! All their chocolate looked so tempting!!! They really know how to shelf their goods, their lighting n all plays tricks. They made my fav Tolberone chocolate look bigger than the ones in Giant!

While waiting for the countdown, we normally watch a movie, nice little ritual. Ant Bully. Recommended by J and S. Movie's at 9.15pm so we had time to kill.

Back to Lot 10! Hahahaha. To buy whipped cream and mineral water. =P Makan almost the whole can of cream! Nice!! Its just mostly milk right, won't gain weight? =P E also he bought me chocolate, my dark chocolate! =)

E hungry again! Saw Nando's. Went to Nando's. After Monash Business Club's appreciation dinner at Nando's last semester, i've been loving Nando's. Hot Peri-Peri for me usually and Mild for E.

This time, we were sharing a quarter, cuz i was still full. He ordered HOT for me, without me knowing! =) Awww... Nando's really marrinate their chicken well, even white meat, chicken breast, without any sauce is hot, makes my mouth water as i type! Worried that E would suffer cuz he can't really eat spicy.

But he seemed to be doing fine. Makes me realize that... throughout the two years we've been together, he must have learnt to eat chilli from me! =) I cut the chicken for him... He's also been getting fat after being with me. Gained 10kg! 8.45pm

30 more mins to our movie.


Me: 30mins is a lot of time, lets walk around Bukit Bintang first and then head to Time Square. Since i'm the kind who loves to take a walk. Especially since it was a cool and cloudy day, it felt like we were overseas, sightseeing.
Him: 30mins is not a lot of time, we should start walking to Times Sqaure. Since he is ALWAYS EARLY.

Conflict. I gave in, but i prolonged d walk from Sg Wang to Times Sqaure. Hehe


Digi was sponsoring a staged event. Free helium balloons were given out. I had to have one. Hehe. And as we walked... as the wind blew, the balloon kept on hitting E, since he's so tall!

HAHAHAHAHA. But he didn't think it was funny. He was irritated, i could see it. It was the beginning of what usually ends up in fights. And he didnt approve of the balloon in the 1st place, he doesn't want me to bring it into the cinema and block people with it!

He has a point. HAHAHA. Stalled la, dun wanna let the balloon go just yet. Until we were in front of Times Square... but there was so many trees. So i left it in a low tree!

Lucky for me E wasn't mad for long. And guess what, we got to our movie seats just in time for the beginning of the movie! Hahaha, okie, so he wins. 9.15pm

Ant Bully was good, not draggy at all. Funny too.

After the movie, we went to see if my balloon is still there in the tree. It was! =) I took it back! Hahahahaha. I think i laughed too much in this post.

Didn't really know what to do... Walked through the back lane of Sg Wang.. Kinda scary, seeing Chinese youth armed with coloured foam sprays, RM10 for 3. It kinda looked like... like... a scene out of a movie. Where there is chaos and anything could go wrong.

But of course it's fine. We went in front of Park Royal to wait for midnight, it was on slightly higher land, so we had a good view of the road filled with people. Could see Rela and whatever its called angkatan in red (i can't remember these bodies unlike E) on standby in case of an emergency.

We observed the way others behaved... hooligans chasing one another with spray... we camwhored...

But just one picture

Fireworks were quite a view from where we were at... =)
