ARCHIVE FOR THE ‘freetalk’ CATEGORY

OHAY I’m still alive on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Wow. Thank you Jeff for reminding me that I’d been letting this place to collect dusts. Those who don’t know me IRL might had thought I’d disappeared in Guangzhou XDD ( Guangzhou was EXCELLENT, and I really fell in love with the food there I almost wished I didn’t have to come back )


Photo taken when I was walking towards my Grand Uncle’s house

Seriously, the food. It’s AMAZING aaaaaaaa ( also, my relatives there really indulged us ;A; And I get to eat roast goose nearly everyday *lovessssss* Best thing since sliced bread? Possibly best thing even before bread was invented ♥ )

Also, don’t ask me about the various unidentifiable animal parts that I’d eaten. Anyway, it felt like a thousand and one things had happened since I got back from the trip and I’d been too lazy to write. Namely :

Catching up with work in the office *headdesk* Is not really good especially since I’d been away on a fun week-long holiday.

Fion and Darren’s wedding. They’re my hometown schoolmates and I was part of the sister entourage. Much lulz ensued when the brother entourage were pretty much pwned upside down by the girls. Also, meeting up with friends I had not seen in YEARS was so strange and yet so heart warming ;A; Plus it’s hilarious to see your ex-classmates whom you’d known for so many years drunk XD

Dad’s birthday! Happy 50th birthday this year, Dad! ( We went out for dinner and had a small celebration. His god-son brought cake ) Sorry I spent like most of the time at home playing Gundam 00 : Gundam Meisters with lil’ brother and not doing much else ^^;;

Mel and Jijoe’s wedding! This is the first Malay wedding I’d ever attended. The atmosphere was wildly different from the rowdy Chinese weddings I’d attended so far XD Congrats to both of you!

Is still playing Hakuouki like the fangirl I am. Only now I can distract myself combo chaining in Gundam 00 when I feel particularly destructive ( the combo chaining was funnn albeit kinda stressful ). Toudou Heisuke full CGs GET! <3 Two.. more... characters to go..

I’d got a bunch of stuff over last weekend. My VAMPS’ Birthday tour pamphlet from Azuzora ( yaaaay thanks! ), chocolates from whiterabbit who got it from Singapore and ELIZABETH’S PLUSHIE from Jeff XDDD

Watched a bunch of movies in the cinema over the few weeks. Hana Yori Dango Final ( it’s light weight fun but it ended up booooooooooring because it’s TOO DAMNED LONG. And not enough Rui and Naohito Fujiki ;A; ), Tropics Thunder ( LOVED IT XDDD It’s so sad that Malaysian cinema are so behind with these releases :\ ) and Quantum of Solace ( WTF. I hate the title sequence and song. But the movie was pretty entertaining )

Penang trip with my ex-colleagues over the weekend. Awesome AWESOME fun food filled short trip! Will hopefully post pictures later? 8D;;

I may be the slowest j-rock fan in this part of the world but I’d just discovered that X-Japan will be having a concert in Bangkok on 31st January! BANGKOK, THAILAND! WE’RE PRACTICALLY NEIGHBOURS!!! is totally plotting and saving money to haul my ass over there already

Sam’s coming back to Malaysia this week! I missed her so much and I hope we’ll both find time to hang out before she has to fly back to Australia

Coincidentally, today is November 18th. Marking a full year since I cheered, laughed and cried at beloved Siam Shade’s reunion concert in Japan last year. Time really does fly ;A;

Also, I’d finally sorted through my Guangzhou photos folder. I’m probably too lazy to write about it in details, so expect photo-log to kill your bandwidth? 8Dv

 

 

Take Me Back Tuesday on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Tuesday Tunes: Week 49 : You can tell I’m bored and procrastinatey ToT

You’ve seen them live:

Siam Shade, L’Arc~en~Ciel, Mayday, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Jacky Cheung, Michel Guan, … err… My Chemical Romance please don’t judge me. A number of other artistes that ended up in some collaboration fund raising concert too.

The best artist you’ve seen perform live and the worst:

Best : Siam Shade! BEST CONCERT EVER. I missed them from the moment the last song ended already ;__;

Worst : This bugger here. Granted, it’s a free concert organised by a local high school for their kids’ graduation. And they actually went ahead and invited a honest-to-goodness actual musician from across the ocean. In my hick town, yeah. But I had never seen a display of showmanship SO SHODDY and unprofessional I wanted to fling something rotten onto the stage.

So what if the hall is a cramp school-hall? And your audiences are students who didn’t had to pay for the entrance tickets? You AGREED to perform to begin with. No one forced a gun at your stupid big head. Plus, you were PAID by the school-board. Way to be a jackass. Pbbbtt.

The concert with the worst audience:

Mayday’s in Genting earlier this year. Though it’s majorly the management fault. But dudeeee… have some spine you people at the central front seats!

Although I generally hated any concerts that have the audiences right at the front who DOESN’T REACT nor do jack during the concert. Most of them probably get VIP passes from sponsor companies and thus, not a fan. I kinda feel bad for the musicians ^^;;

The most expensive concert and the least expensive:

Most expensive will have to be Siam Shade I supposed. Granted, the tickets aren’t that bad ( about RM200+? ). But I had to travel to Tokyo for them.

Close in second is L’Arc~en~Ciel @ Seoul. Again, tickets aren’t expensive; plane ticket to Seoul IS. Ticket admission-wise is still L’Arc~en~Ciel though. L7 Tour @ Hong Kong. Got the HKD900+ ones, so they were like RM450++

Least expensive ones are the collaboration street concert I went with various Chinese musicians/bands. FREE TICKETS FTW! 8D

 

 

First Mooncake for 2008? 8D on Thursday, September 11th, 2008

This is all kind of sad. I’m a Chinese. I’m supposed to celebrate Mooncake Festival/Mid Autumn Festival in the most gluttonous ways possible with all the wonderful variety of mooncakes popping out like mushrooms after the rain.

Apparently I forgot about the festivity totally until the alarm bell sets off last weekend ORZ Mid Autumn Festival is this coming Sunday. I have yet to buy my close relatives any mooncakes for gifts. And WORSE, I have yet to eat a single mooncake myself @A@;;;

But! The problems were finally remedied.

The first mooncake I officially had was this. The Häagen-Dazs® Chocolate Mooncake <3 And it wasn't a even PROPER mooncake :P It's ice-cream with sorbet filling to imitate the usual one -yolk-inside-mooncake look XDD

First official mooncake eaten for 2008? 8D

But am I complaining? NO WAI XD I’d got my mooncake AND ice-cream fix at one go \:D/ JOY

Thank you Booya for treating me and Jive to this wonderful mooncake! ( Which I’d eyed for YEARS but it was expensive to be eaten alone D: Gift? HELL NO YOU THINK I WANNA GIVE THESE AWAY AS FESTIVE GIFTS? Mine! I tell you! MINEEEE! )

 

PS : I’d got some of these as festive gifts though :3 So pretty, aren’t they? I just hope my aunts and what not won’t kill me for passing it to them so late ^^;;;

Habits are hard to break on Monday, July 21st, 2008

You may or may not know but when I was working for my ex-company the design department works on a hell lot of Pepsi’s POSM collaterals such as posters, shelftalkers, buntings, signages etc . I personally was working on a number of soft drinks related labels I swore I will avoid drinking them at any cost. Especially on my last month or so there, I was working 90% of the time on Pepsi related items. It was so bad to the point that I was sure I know what is their official logo colour codes in PANTONE in my sleep.

True story : When I started playing Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core, one of the first few things that made me spazzed out was that it uses the very same font as Pepsi ads does XDD ( Yanno, the “Activating Combat Mode” , “Mission Accomplished” and all that jazz? It’s in Serpentine, baby XD )

Anyhow, that was why when I was out in ShenZhen yesterday the first thing that struck me when I saw a local Pepsi billboard was :

“Mann… how can this goes out in the public? Client’ll have our heads for the COLOUR of their drinks O_O;”

Pepsi billboard @ Dong Men, ShenZhen
Maybe the local Pepsi here has a red tea flavour? 8D;;

Some thing seems to be embedded straight into my brain already thanks to the crazy working life ORZ And I can’t get rid of it no matter how bad I want to T__T I don’t memorise their Pantone colour code in my sleep already that’s for sure XD;;;

 

 

OH HAY. GUESS WHO IS IN CHINA NOW 8D on Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

YES I BE SPAMMING AND X-POSTING AND I DON’T CARE.

 

It says Olympic City is 4998km away ;3; Somehow it just struck me for the first time how huge China is compared to Malaysia ( I mean, I know it all along but there wasn’t that feeling of realization ever because I’d never been here? ) — and I can gauge the distance now since I travelling to Penang took us a good 5 hours + or so and it’s probably just about 400+ km away >_>
