Project 365: 27-28/04/2009 [Oops, I Did It Again]

2009-07-19T20:00:00.001+08:00

CONFESSION: I slacked off.
RESULT: You don't get no pictures for these two days of April.

But don't worry! This post is scheduled! By the time you read this, I'd already have boarded my flight back to KL. (Unless so suey until kena delayed or something lah. -_-') Wheee! That means more posts and more pictures and new stories of new places! Yays!!!

Project 365: 26/04/2009 [Me On BMM3 Day!]

2009-07-19T14:00:00.000+08:00

NOTE: The following pictures were shot by Nigel Tee a.k.a Flyguy (formerly known as Superman here on Tinki Talks) during the DGMB Blogger Movie Meet 3 at Cineleisure Damansara. Just so you know, these pictures were taken without my knowledge so DUN CAME AND SAY I POSER! (Haha. Must add disclaimer first to cover backside and save ego from potential meltdown. =p)

Again, you get two pictures cos I can't decide which I should publish. I like them both equally. Simply because nicely taken candid shots are ever so rare though they rock so hard.

So... when in doubt, be kiasu.

JUST PUT ALL! Hahaha.

That's your key learning for today. Thank you for joining us as we study The Pam Song Art Of Making Decisions. Stay tuned for more.

Project 365: 25/04/2009 [Curse Of The Black Cat]

2009-07-19T04:09:00.002+08:00

Today's Project 365 a bit more special.
You guys get, not one, but two pictures!

Haha.

To make up for how terribly slow my Project 365 updates have been (see, I admit when salah wan) and cos I was wearing a dress I bought AGES/YONKS/EONS/CENTURIES (take your pick) ago *grin* and altered MANY, MANY YEARS/MOONS/LIFETIMES (same thing, just pick one – close eye point also can strike) ago *sweat* but never got around to wearing till that Saturday in April. *faints*

TADA!

TADA TADA TADA!

Firstly, I like this dress.
Secondly, I like that faded cropped jacket.
Thirdly, I'm guessing you're wondering why this post was titled "Curse Of The Black Cat". Heh.

Funny story, really. (I can't believe I'm actually going to share this story with you. -_-''') Do you remember those mad scratches on my hand that I once blogged about? Well, they were, uh... caused by a black cat. @_@ And contrary to what you may think, no, it didn't attack me. It didn't claw me. It didn't touch me. Heck, it didn't even come close enough to

Ahhh, but it was sneakier (like all cats are).
It followed me. Jeng jeng jeng.

It all happened when I was walking back to my car after dinner at Bianco. Black Cat followed me all the way from the restaurant to where my car was parked. When I stopped, it stopped. When I walked, it walked. When I crossed the street, it... you get the idea. Naturally, I started to freak out lah! Cos this ain't normal, yo. Especially the way it kept turning to look at me to make sure I see it.

Easiest way to lose it would be to pick up speed. I did that. Didn't work. It started jogging next to me. -_-' When I finally got to the car, I thought: "Ok. This is it, Pam. Get into the car, get the car into gear, and drive outta here like you've never driven before. NOW OR NEVAARRRR!!!" So I rushed to the side of my car, unlocked the car with a "tweet tweet", whipped the car door open, took a step in my car seat's direction...

...then lost my balance and fell into a bush.

The end.

p/s: How to not hate cats, I ask you??? -_-'

Project 365: 24/04/2009 [Shadow]

2009-07-18T21:00:00.000+08:00

Meet my shadow.

I think she looks less tired than I do. Heh.

14 weeks have passed since I snapped that picture. (GOSH! Is this project that delayed?! -_-') I can't for the life of me remember what happened before or after but from what I see, it must have been another one of my late nights at work and I was on my way to the parking lot. At the time, I didn't yet have my parking card so I was paying valet prices for non-valet parking daily. Manyak sakit gua mia dompet masa tu.

Project 365: 19-23/04/2009 [So Tak Jadi]

2009-07-17T14:00:00.000+08:00

Hello there, darling bloggers. I hope the day's been treating you well. My day's been made just cos you exist. You know you're my favourite people in the world, right? You know you guys always make my day, right? You know how each time my Unique Visitor count rises, my heart swells with love for you, right? You know how...

Argh, fergeddit. I can't do this bodek nonsense. -_-

I have a confession to make lah, okay. You know why I haven't been updating Project 365? Well, it's cos I was stuck with a bunch of dates I had no pictures to. Yeah, you heard that right. I didn't take pictures of myself from 19-23 April 2009. And I'm not going to bother making up for it! AndyouguyshaveNOsayabouttiwhatsoever – hah! Eh, this is MY blog, okay?! I make the rules! You obey! Now, drop and give me 20! Roar rawr rarr!

Haha. Shit. Power crazy sial.

Anyhoo, like I said, I failed to camwhore on those days lah, okay. I've dealt with it; you should, too. You think what? So free do nothing but take pictures for you guys all day long ah? Cheh. I got life wan, okayyy. Dun play play. =p

AHHH, BUT. HERE'S. WHERE.
I. MAKE. UP. FOR. IT!

Since I'll be MIA from the blogosphere for the next few days, I'm going to be scheduling a bunch of Project 365 posts. Show you my face (or parts of me – don't think senget) in an effort to help you remember that I'm still alive and kicking... albeit in another part of the world that probably won't allow me much access to a comp that's equipped with Photoshop and is enabled with free WiFi. (Sorry lah. Penang people memang cheapo.)

But that's my problem. Not yours.
You guys just keep popping by to do your
catching up with my 3-month-old face. =p

Akhir kata (che-wah), if I can't get connected where I'm heading (I fear the thought of withdrawal symptoms kicking in when I'm at Surabaya, man), I'll catch ya when I'm back on Sunday! Toodles noodles, poodles! You better be missin' me when I'm gone. =p

Blessing In Disguise

2009-07-17T10:46:00.009+08:00

I gotta start remembering that it pays to respond to missed calls. (I usually don't. I'm terrible that way.) Even accidental ones from your super cool, uber-nice, fashion savvy, keep-forgetting-to-lock-keypad Pastor in KL. Haha. He's awessum lah. But story later.

The effects of The Accidental Call
will only take place in Surabaya anyways.

JENG JENG! =p

Anyhoo, I just feel so blessed lah. I'd really love to write a full testimonial documenting what happened (just 5 mins ago, actually) but I don't quite have time to steal right now. Gotta get stuff done before I head off. Catch ya later.

Main Budget

2009-07-17T02:25:00.004+08:00

DESTINATION: Surabaya
DURATION OF STAY: 2.5D/2N

Ok. Time for some kick-ass Math.

Hotel/Lodging For Duration Of Stay:
IDR 1,000,000 per night ÷ 3 persons
= plus-minus RM370 per night ÷ 3 persons
= RM247 each

Car Rental For 1 Day:
IDR 330,000 per car per day ÷ 3 persons
= plus-minus RM120 per car per day ÷ 3 persons
= RM40 each

Mount Bromo Catch-The-Sunrise Visit:
Entrance Fee + Transport Fee
= IDR 20,000 + IDR 40,000
= IDR 60,000
= plus-minus RM23

Surabaya Zoo Visit:
Entrance Fee
= IDR 10,000
= RM4

Meals:
RM10 per meal x 4 meals a day x 2.5 days
= RM100

Massage:
Expected to be RM15 max.

Spa:
RM100 max – any more than this and I'm just going to forget about stripping and having people's hands working up a lather on my body. Getting molested shouldn't cost this much.

Shopping:
RM200 max – Must. Behave. And. Practice. Self. Control.

TOTAL HOLIDAY BUDGET (so far =p): RM729

Ok, that's it. Brain KO already.
Gotta close shop now or else tomorrow
flap wings also cannot fly. Nights, people.

Things Are Looking Up

2009-07-16T17:40:00.003+08:00

This was the weather forecast at noon today.

This was what became of it by 5:32PM.

Things are definitely looking up
for The Wife and I! Wheee!

I can tell that today's gonna rock. Hard.

My Friends Love Me So Much That When They Go On Holiday, They Think Of Me

2009-07-16T03:41:00.006+08:00

Ok, I lied.

You see, I've got pretty mean friends who don't give two hoots about my sanity. Namely a certain Okui (dun wanna click also nvm – her blog's dead di, I think) whom I met in Penang, who came down to KL cos she enrolled in HELP Institute, who moved into the place I was renting and lived with me for awhile while pursuing her degree, who then moved to the great US of A to further her studies, who then worked there in the US for a bit before promising she'd come back for me, who decided to go to the UK to visit Mr Okui (sorry lah, I got no better nick for her bf), who then ended up not coming back at all cos she decided to reside in the UK to be with Mr Okui. -_-'''

*pause to catch breath*

Well, no matter. Out of sight, not out of mind.
She still remembers me. I know because of this:

-_-'

Love me so much hor?
Wanna know my response?

Nah. See lah.

I tell you, Facebook is the devil's workshop, man. >(

Excited-ness!

2009-07-15T15:06:00.006+08:00

Barely past July and already,
I'm looking forward to November.

Wheee!

But more on that later. (Read: After I'm done selling my soul to advertising. Haven't even come close to meeting today's sales quota yet. -_-') I'll be back, bay-beh! It'll only be a few hours. In the mean time, try not to miss me too much while I'm gone. Mwah mwah.

Nobody By Wonder Girls... Round 3

2009-07-14T18:07:00.000+08:00

Haha. Sorry lah, guys. I know you must be going 'wth-is-wrong-with-this-girl' now but... it's not me. I BLAME RESURRECTED! He sent me the link to this video. Haha. How very Garden-of-Eden of me.

I know lah I've already published two entries on Wonder Girls *click and click* but... I just couldn't resist posting this one too. These coppers can dance, weh! Gotta give it to them. I see also I think Sausage Boy and I kalah terus. Haha.

Check 'em out. Pasti tak menyesal. =p

Actually, if you wanna learn the dance, it's easier learning it from this video than from the original MV. His moves are super clean, crisp and very easy to catch. (Not that I've tried following his moves lah, of course. Haha. Seriousssss.)

The Melissa Crabtree Gown

2009-07-14T17:21:00.001+08:00

I've never really been a fan of big wedding gowns with hundreds upon hundreds of layers of petticoats and long, trailing trains but... I totally fell in love with this one. And this A-line baby is just MASSIVE!

Isn't it???

Look again!

It's crazy!

And crazy beautiful, too.
(The equally as beautiful bride and her
hourglass figure helped lah, of course.)

Melissa (that's the bride's name) got married in Penang (ahh, affinity already!) actually carried it all the way from England. That's where she studied and met the love of her life – John Crabtree. (YOU ALL REMEMBER OR NOT?? I BLOGGED ABOUT THEM BEFORE! HE SMELLS HER TOES!) To fly halfway across the world with a carry-on like this? Wow. Imagine how toned her arms must be after that journey! Haha.

But ahhh, people often do the impossible
for the perfect wedding day, don't they?

And I don't know her personally but...
her wedding day looked pretty perfect to me.

Mummy adjusting her dress
before she walked down the aisle
of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit.

Dancing with her daddy during the dinner
at Pelangi Ballroom, Rasa Sayang.

So... yeah. That's that. Lust hour's over. Haha. I shall remember that dress from pictures on my blog and she can keep the real dress with the sweat stains. (Haha. Private joke. She got married in April and hasn't washed it yet! =p) Jokes aside, many thanks to the beautiful bride, Melissa a.k.a Mrs Crabtree, for saying 'yes' to my can-I-please-please-please-steal-a-pic-and-blog-your-dress? pleas. Haha.

And hearty congratulations to
the lovely couple, Mr & Mrs John Crabtree.

p/s: Don't just hear it from me. Read Melissa's own post on her wedding day here. I focused on the dress. There are more pictures of the other stuff in her post. All equally as nice. =)

No Stars Tonight

2009-07-14T04:28:00.004+08:00

Was hoping I'd catch some stars on my drive home tonight but... alas, there were none. The haze got blown away by the wind (yays) but the stars still seem a little shy to me. I hope they say 'hi' tomorrow. It's been awhile since we last caught up.

I wouldn't dream of chasing
the stars away with lights if they
came out for a twinkle or two.

This reminds me... I've still got a borrowed bunch of Calvin & Hobbes comics to dig into. -_-' (To whom it may concern: I'm sorry I'm taking forever to get through them!!) I think I'll start tonight. It feels like a night for a little naivety and childish innocence anyways.

Hmmm. I hope I'll find myself giving the world a once-over through rose-coloured glasses when I wake up tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll finally be able to go back to living my life with careless abandon. Gaze at all things in wide-eyed wonder. Laugh at every joke I hear. Smile at every person I see. (Oh, wait. I already kinda do that.)

C&H, I'm counting on you.

I'mma Feelin' A L'il Girly Tonight

2009-07-13T23:51:00.007+08:00

Just one of those days. =)

After Lunch Chatter

2009-07-13T17:05:00.009+08:00

Was feeling extra sleepy after a heavy Borsch Soup + Chicken Chop In Cheese Baked Rice + Jelly Dessert lunch (eat-sleep-eat-sleep – ahh, that's the life, man) so I decided to hunt out Ah Beng on Gtalk for another one of our deep, meaningful heart-to-hearts. (FYI, that means pointless-chatting-about-everything-and-nothing-in-particular in The Cu•bi•cle language. =p)

Pam Song: Benzie (that's what I call him in real life), me sleepy. =_=

Ah Beng: Need smacks?

Pam Song: Need lovin'. Hahahha.

Ah Beng: Omg, Pammies... *cue b*tching session* Bla bla bla... Yada yada yada... (Too P&C to share here lah, ok?) How la like this?

Pam Song: Eee... How the heck did you get to know this fella lah? UP MARKET A BIT CAN???

Ah Beng: Day 1 2 3, quite ok, quite fun. Day 4, la la la. Day 5, *bleep* (tsk tsk) la, why like this. Day 6, zzZzzz. Day 7, I need to get out of here.

Pam Song: Eee. But HAHAHAHHA, I know what you mean.

Ah Beng: Kan? Woman when you making time for me all?

Pam Song: *cue 2nd b*tching session – my turn* You know hor... bla bla bla... yada yada yada... (I'm a woman of many secrets. Deal with it.) Eeeee... so superficial!

Ah Beng: Ahahhaha. It's ok. I'm equally superficial now also.

Pam Song: *faints* (As if that's good enough reason for it to be okay. -_-') BENZIE, why are we so superficial???

Ah Beng: Bla bla bla, I want someone a bit more bla bla bla... (He talk too much already. =p) At least, I dunno la... nicer feel a bit.

Pam Song: YEAH! Me, too! Shit man, so picky. How to find that kind now lah!? I'm so going to die alone.

Ah Beng: We die together mah. Push our wheelchairs. Remember our swing on patio plan?

Pam Song: Ya, man. Deal lah deal. Or we could get those cool wheelies with machine wan. Hahaha.

Ah Beng: Race you down the supermarket aisle.

Pam Song: Maybe it'll come with a water dispenser. Press button then the water squirt into our mouths.

Ah Beng: Ahhaha. Got hon also. Can modify ah beng version.

Pam Song: Lorry kind – POOOOOONNNNNNN!!! Dun gimmie the sissy peet peet wan.

Ah Beng: "*Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep* (Terrible lah, this boy! Ah Beng really chao Ah Beng, man.) SEI FAT ELEPHANT MOVE OUT OF THE WAY"

Pam Song: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Terrorise the grocery section, man. Dun mess.

Ah Beng, thanks for making my day. I always love our chats – silly as they may be. I'm already looking forward to spending the rest our days lounging on the patio. =)

p/s: My wheelchair's gonna be a much cooler, meaner machine than yours. You better watch your hairy back, boy. Nyeh nyeh.

Super Hazy Monday

2009-07-13T12:05:00.006+08:00

This is why KL sucks.

NOTE: This picha wasn't tweaked.

Does anybody know why? Indonesia bakar lagi kah? How's Singapore doing? Cos as far as I know, Penang's in the clear. Heck, it was LUV-LEH when I was back last weekend! I mean, I told you guys about the rain and all, right? It was all good lah. Fresh air, cool breeze – so many nice-ness! Mana tau, come back here... eee, busuk! >(

Mr & Mrs Edwin Song, 11 July 2009

2009-07-13T04:02:00.009+08:00

This was what I went back for.

When two become one.

I tell you, my cousin soooo romantic
I myself see also cannot than.

*heart swells with Song pride*

But stories later lah, ok? I just got my butt back into KL so don't fault me for saying that "crashing" sounds like a mighty good idea to me. And so does a bath. Heh. Still so much to do, but already so close to sunrise. Hmmm. Feels like Monday already! Gotta run. Toodles!

Seronok-nyerrr Balik Pulau Pinang

2009-07-12T04:29:00.010+08:00

Sejak ku sampai malam Jumaat,
hujan turun tak berhenti-henti.

Kat sini masa siang, 25ºC aje; tak macam Kuala Lumpur dengan matahari panas terik pagi hingga malam. Ah, aku suke lah tempat ni. Tapi suke pun tak suke semua. Kerana pabila jalan sini, jalan sane, jadinye kaki kotor, kasut rosak, rambut basah. Ish ish. Susah juge ade hujan ni. Nasib baik lewat malam boleh keluar makan, minum sup. Hujan lebat, angin sejuk, sup panas – mm mmm, syok. Tapi rasa syok pun tak syok lama. Balik rumah pukul tiga pagi, tengok-tengok, lif rosak. Air hujan penyebab kerosakan. Jadi macam mane? Macam ni:

Jalan kaki naik tangga.
Lapan tingkat semuanye.

Bes.

p/s: I was pakai-ing kasut tumit tinggi summore. Jangan main main. Macam mana pun boleh tendang bontot.

Busy Weekends Ahead

2009-07-10T16:54:00.008+08:00

10 July – 12 July: Penang

17 July – 19 July: Surabaya

24 July – 26 July: KL (Phew!)

31 July – 2 August: Penang

Was just thinking about my schedule whilst looking through my Omnia calendar earlier today when I realised... I'll be flying three weekends this month. @_@ Gosh! How in the world did I get myself booked on so many flights in July alone?! It's madness!

I think I need to stop making plans for a bit. Or maybe I should just start scheduling lazy weekends into my Omnia. The kind where the grand plan for the entire weekend is to do nothing but do nothing.

"Wash Your Hands, Too (The Swine Flu Song)" By Mr Brown & Company: A Parody Of The Song "Nobody" By Wonder Girls

2009-07-10T15:00:00.007+08:00

Wha...??? Wonder Girls AGAIN!?

Haha. No lah. Of course not.

I never use the same joke twice.
(Che wah, sound damn gaya. =p)

You watch first only talk.

Giler babi (eh eh! got pun! got pun! =p) kelakar, right??? Laugh until stomach pain. This MrBrown Show guy actually not bad. Can rhyme quite well. I probably should check out his other stuff when I've the time. Indulge myself in some Singapore-styled stupidity. =p

"When you wash your body wash your hands, too!
You don't want get swine flu, or someone pass to you,
You better wash your body, your body, your body!"

Anyhoo, I know this isn't new anymore but, considering how much I've been ranting here, I think you guys deserve a good laugh for a change lah. It only has to be OSIF for me. No need for all of us to wallow in self pity and indulge in pain together-gether. You guys are free to have and enjoy the thought of TGIF. =)

Have a good Friday, guys!
It is, after all, the last day of the working week.

OSIF

2009-07-10T05:43:00.004+08:00

That's Oh Shit It's Friday, by the way.

Ha. Ha. (Not funny also.)

.

Kidding lah.

That's just a wisecrack on my part
cos really, it's still Thursday to me.

-_-

I'm actually stuck at the office with Duh Roads. -_-' We're sitting tight (and spacing out) while we wait for 111Eye to send us our Effie Awards video. We were told that it would be in for our approval in an hour. We heard that 1-hour promise at 3AM. It's now 5:46AM. Inbox still empty, phone still silent – apa news pun tak ade. -_-'''

I'm so dead lah, I tell you. Not only because of the lack of sleep (pfft, as though that's not enough), but because I've still got some packing to do when I get home. T_T Si liao la. How to not OSIF, I ask you?? Haih. Feddup nia.

Brooke Shields' Eulogy Of Her Long-time Friend Michael Jackson, The King Of Pop

2009-07-10T03:40:00.007+08:00

If I die before any of you do (CHOI! CHOI! CHOI!), remember that I want my eulogies to run this same way. I want them all to be sincere, honest and heartfelt. (Wah, see lah. Die already still can be so demanding. -_-' Sheesh.) Make your 'goodbye' to me a good one.

You can learn from Brooke Shields.
She did good with MJ's eulogy.

So, if you're called to take the mic, know this: Giving an eulogy while playing the acquaintance is boring. Don't say things just anyone would know. Instead, speak of the person I was to YOU. Tell elaborate stories of the times we've spent together. Of the things we did while I was around. Of the laughter we've shared and the tears we've shed.

Let those who hear you remember me for the way
my being in your life made it what it is.

I don't want to be a memory of things done or achieved by a body lying in a casket. Forget the medals won, the paperwork compiled, and the awards granted. I want to be remembered for the life I lived and the lives I touched while there was still breath in me. And if I've touched your life in any way, I'd like you to remember me for that.

Click here to view from source.

You know, as much as watching Michael Jackson's Public Memorial Service robbed me of a good 2 hours of sleep, I'm really glad I stayed up. Because those 2 hours showed me how important living a life well lived is. I learned that leaving an impression and making an impact in the world around me matters. Because that's all there is to show once this shell I'm in turns to dust.
