Jack and Amelia's Roundhouse bday bash

First things first! Can I just say.. I'm really proud that I just got back from a roundhouse party without any intake of alcohol. God, I'm so good!

So, today I woke up with a message from Zhe, saying he was gonna have lunch with Jen. Well, I was supposed to have lecture at 1pm but since it was week one, I could afford to pike it and I rather catch up with him and Jen anyways. I called Ali on the way and told her I wasn't going to lecture and asked her to join us. And Alex was there as well. This was yet another rare but really valuable meeting since it's been a while since five of us hung out together. SO, I piked my first ever lecture this week for four of my best friends. Worth it, I should say :)

La Mancha rehearsal was awesome since we had the orchestra people there today. I love the clarinet. There's something about it. Its voice flutters beautifully like a hand of the most camp and feminine homo on oxford street. It was pretty though. I just love the whole band thing. It was just RAD!.

I went to Amelia+Jack's birthday after that at the roundhouse. I did not want to go to be honest since I was too tired and I don't really like roundhouse party much and I was feeling fat. Yes, it's true... it's cos I've overrested gym and the muscle has FINALLY melted into fat and drinking fiber does not work either. BUMMER!!! I've never been this much weight conscious in my life before but I just HAVE TO LOSE IT. SO yeah, if you don't see me drinking nor partying, it's cos I'm not that confident enough about my appearance.

Now, to round off who were actually there at the roundhouse tonight, here are more pics. I tried to get as much med revue people as I can onto the pics.

Med Revue Video Shoot Day 1

In 2006, Med Revue did this video where they have all the cast members lip-synching to 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go'. Nothing really came out in 2007 and this year, no one's doing anything about it. It seems like most of them are eager to do it but just don't have anyone to take the initiatives. So, me being a bit of a cheap ass, decided to chase them all down and do a video with the song "Love Will Keep Us Together". I emailed a last minute mail about doing a video shoot today and wow, five people showed up. Not only that but I got Niyati's phone number cos I see her walking around. Then, Moffie and Dave came today and this was done earlier for their sake anyways since they're going oversea soon. However, I was surprised that I got to film Benson and Justin C as well as Owen. Three of them were more than eager to do this and it was just fun filming it. Best of all, I was just really happy that they enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed filming it. So, I emailed them a thank you and guess what. Now, I know VJ's phone number and Bambul and Howie has agreed to do this. So, it's all looking good. I can't wait til the whole thing's done.

La Mancha was done today as well from act 1 to 6. It was nice to see everything brought together. There are now only three muleteers and the captain is played by this "Alex Juiceman" lookalike Grant. And yes he wears a cape too. I finally saw Julia perform. She has to do this horse dance and I have to say she looks quite hot doing it. Chelsea is another one who's doing it as well. I thought a horse dance was gonna be a stupid one but after watching Julia do her horse dance it was pretty cool. It was almost like a tap dance.

I just got back from McD with Thanda, my flatmate and we were talking about relationship. Not a lot of people around me actually really have a proper sane relationship and somehow for a minute, it gives me a scare. Will I ever experience it? Will I ever find a comfortable soulmate? My sis is married to this fucktard who is a wife beater and after some few years that my mom had actually stopped fighting a lot with my dad, he had to pass away. So, will good couplehood last? By the look of things, I'm pretty much jaded with relationships at the moment. I do not want a work of another human being of my preferred gender to fuck up any seconds of my life.

P.S. I was quite happy to find out that the whole camera catastrophe had finally turned out to be the memory card fucking up as opposed to the whole camera which would cost me the price of a new camera. I just needed to get a new memory card for the time being. Thank goodness!

My Jayjays Birthday

Good things happen too well to let bad things ruin it in the end. I worked at Smiggles today. Yes, I'm a BIG just group whore. I've worked in Just Jeans, Jayjays, Smiggles and even Dotti. Well, I've also worked in Supermarket(which used to be part of Just Group methinks). So yeah, it was great to kinda be in the same room with Badih again. I saw his 'boy'. By 'his boy', they are NOT even seeing each other but I think both of them are kinda fit for each other. Both small in sizes (as in height and body weight wise) and this guy is just soo cute. I tried not to look at him that much before it seems too obvious that I'm staring at someone's boy. But yeah, Badih and this guy, they'd make a cute couple. That's what I told Badih anyways. I don't really find Badih as annoying as I used to anymore. Well, I never kinda dislike him but I did come to this point where it kinda seems like he always wanna know better or be better in convos. It's just the vibe he gives out I guess whenever I say something, he just has to top it. But I guess he's kinda cool when it's one on one communication. So yeah, hanging out with Badih was fun. Now, on another note, working at Smiggles was BORING. Like TOTALLY BORING. The first hour was fun since everything was new and you see all these bright colored stationery shit but after an hour or two you get sick of it. And the people who comes into the shop would spend only like a few dollars. So, it was quite irritating.

Now, Leah called into Smiggles to call on me to come to Jayjays saying I wa in big trouble. Scared the shit outta me until I got there and there they were, Leah and LB, just standing there behind the counter. They thought my birthday was today and for that, they decided to give me the card and all ONLY today. Now, watching them all smiling together makes me wanna cry since it's been a while since we all were one. Reminds me of the time we used to chill together, the time when my family at Jayjays have time for each other. It was just a good sight. As I checked out what they gave me, I wanted to cry more.

• a tag from Jayjays worth 25 bucks with "This was too expensive for us to buy. So here's the ticket. It's the thought that counts" written on it.
• A payroll paper half torn with "Random paper" written on it with stars.
• Customer copy receipt of something purchased for eighteen bucks, which I'm guessing was the snoopy card they gave me and LB's cough drops.
• Four voucher coupons for domino pizzas which we normally get free of charge from mails.
• Random newsagent bag.

Now, why would that make me wanna cry? Well, humor is one of my favorite things in life and they both cracked me up so well. Sometimes, it's not the price of the gift that counts. It's the idea well thought behind it. The card itself has some really cool shit on it. They chose snoopy cos most asians choose snoopy products for some reason, which is quite funny and true. And they put a penis on snoopy only cos it was addressed to me. And LB also drew a buddha with a hairy chest, which kinda implies me being a fat and hairy buddhist. Now, there was this crappiest chocolate wrapper but inside it was a gift voucher of sixty bucks to Platypus. It was just cute that both of them came together and made an effort to give me and make me smile.

After my smiggles shift, I went to myers to spoil myself. Actually, I was gonna go to JB Hi Fi to meet up with Stevie and FINALLY buy an ipod with jason Mraz CD, but the perfume line got my attention, like it normally would. So, I spoilt myself with a Sean John cologne, a Nano IPOD and a Jason Mraz CD. I love buying myself birthday pressies and I've been good enough to have saved that much and not spend it on alcohol as soon as I got my tax return. So yeah for once, I got products outta the money I earned or made. We had a Jayjays meeting afterwards and I have to say Leah is a good manager. Well, I've never doubted her but she's proved everyone that she's worth the strength that she actually has. She was very good with the speech she gave and she was very comfortable with the whole meeting. Watching Luke and Amelia give speeches was a bit expected cos they've been with the company for quite some time. However, given this was Leah's first ever speech, (well at least it was to me), it was quite brilliant and it was nice to see her bloom. Not that I'm this major expert manager watching her back but it's really good to see your close friends grow.

And yes, Kevin left.

After the meeting, Leah, Soon, LB and I went to Charlie Chan's on George St for a dinner. Soon also gave me this cute little cake during the meeting. The Thai food at the back of Charlie Chan's was LUSHHHHHHHHHH. I love the Khow Suoy, also known as the Chiang Mai Laksa, I had and everything was just so good to eat there. So, I would recommend whoever reading this to go try there. It's called Baby pork thai. The baby pork thai dish itself was pretty good. We love the Pad Thai and for some reason, LB thought it tasted like a bad vagina. This was when Soon, Leah and I looked at each other and went 'umm ok' since none of us had ever tasted poonanny before. SO, yep LB as soon as I've tasted pussy, I'll get back to you on that.

After that, Leah and LB went home only cos they were sick and they have work tomorrow. Soon and I went to Stonewall for drinks and to laugh at those who are singing Karaoke. I got a bit tipsy and started singing on stage but I was at the 'bell' round. This is the round where the people viewing chooses whether you stop the song or not. So, yes I got belled off but I got to sing "Better Man" for like the first two minutes.

Today was a pleasant day. It's been a while since we have outings like this with the Jayjays family. Though Soon and LB are leaving soon, I guess this little group of Mama Mills, LB, Soon, Leah and Suki and me will ever stay on and never die :)

I almost forgot to mention the BAD PART of today. My memory card on my camera fucked up. So, all of the pics taken last night at la mancha were fucked too. So, this calls for a new card purchase. *le sigh*

The Day I Turned 27

I would somehow like to view today as a change and I guess being 27 is a big deal for someone like me, who's kinda getting scared each and everyday of the fact that i'm nearing the thirties. It's a good compliment to get when people say I look younger than my age but it's also a slap in the face to kinda think whether I am growing gracefully or failing miserably at being somewhat mature or at least a bit decent enough to be my own age. You see, the thing is, when I'm around people my age, I kinda get shy and kinda embarrassed at the fact that I keep thinking they're much older than me. God, I even treat Ness like my big sister when she should be my wee little sister. Ah well, I am enjoying it anyways. So, this wah has not been successful and too easy to not actually dramatize about.

SO, the big question here is "why did I change my blog addy?". Well, first of all, I've seen vinnie's blog and kinda like the fact that you can actually modify shit with blogspot whereas livejournal's a bit of a pain and messy when it comes to trying to modify. Plus, I figured that whoever reads my blog should take the effort to actually bookmark it and read it as an effort as opposed to just clicking friends on livejournal. I mean, who would want readers who just browse through friends and see you bitching about them or your friends? I mean, if they take the effort to view your blog by bookmarking it, you, at least, have the right to say "dude, I never asked you to bookmark my page, man" and get off easily and blame him/her for being curious or just plain inquisitive in the first place when/if they don't like what they see on your blog.

Work was awesome today by the way. Leah and I killed it. The whole shop looked clean at the end of the day and both of us enjoyed each other's company as opposed to just being there for the sake of it. Leah is still awesome! It's good to know that she's still cool and all that despite the stress and workload she must be under. When she was asked to become the manager of the store, I did worry about her being or getting all stressed out and all bossy cos she's naturally a can't stand bullshit type who knows her shit enough to be bossy to others. Stubborn just like me as well. So, as the saying goes, it takes one to know one and I guess I was just worried she'd turn out to be someone I wouldn't wanna have to fake myself with. But thank life in general, she's a pretty cool manager. She does act a bit all that in front of the newbies but with me today, she was much of a dirt bag as well as I was.

La Mancha fundraising was on tonight. I was in no mood to go and I was about to pike if only it had not been Ness's arranging. I mean, come on, what are friends for, right? I guess I was right to go. I saw a lot of friends there. James D, Char Char, Moff Moff, Cecile, Andrew L, Scott, Derek, Thew, Markyboo, Nessyboo, Lachie, Rachel J, Matt H and the rest of la mancha crew. As you all know, I like attention though I do not really try that hard to get it. I mean, I do things to attract attention but I wouldn't go beyond my way to grab it. But, someone shouted out happy birthday to me and this was followed by people either buying me drinks or talking more to me. It was ever better when Amy started singing Happy Birthday. This was at the rege so the attention was quite full on and though it was half embarrassing, I kinda love the fact that the cast members gave a shit about me. People keep coming in and out. Like the circus crowd joined in later. Of course, this means I get to see Robbie(Robyn H) and Juicy(Alex J). German Dave was there as well. Well, Kevin(Kevin O) was there as well with his buddies and he did make a cameo appearance while we were having a blast.

Speaking of which, Kevin's leaving tomorrow. I know I dont know him that well and I didn't really have time to kinda get to know him much but I guess when you have stayed in bed with a friend for three days/nights, you kinda get close to him. No, he is straight and we didn't do anything. I've kinda semi turned enough straight guys gay during the camp. Jesus would not like me for it. Yeah, just that I'll be alone on my own in my room again I guess since he's leaving for Michigan tomorrow at 6pm. I guess I will miss him after all though to be honest, I did not get to know him much.

Bon voyage, Kevin dude! You've been a cool friend!
