KL trip

*waves* I'm alive!
It has been a really long time since i last bummed around at home for the entire day without setting 1 foot out of home!
It's stifling boring for me to do NOTHING at all, and for that i cried buckets - because boredom drove me to watch the telly, and it had to be the channel with that donation charity thingie to raise funds for the SzeChuan earthquake fund relief. Oh My God, so much unnecessary suffering on their part, and tears on mine.
The poor kids, and all that raised hopes, praying hard that it wouldnt be their child/parent(s)/relative etc dead. Sigh.... it brought out the emo side of me. *sniff*
*
Emo telly programs aside, i have been really busy with work work work and work, and haven't really had much time to enjoy my holiday, and except for a little short imprompt trip to Kuala Lumpur with Quacks. We were both bored, and next thing you know, we were making our way to KL! Woots! From an elated fries chewing, cheeseburger munching Daphne.... to a bored and sleepy Daphne.
We had such a hard time locating our Hotel when we got to KL, because the GPS and road maps reflected a different road direction from the traffic. After several rounds of circling round the town area, we finally arrived at the Ritz Carlton!
The hotel made me a happy girl, because i love their eye for details! There's the ipod console for me to plug my Nano into, the pretty shower bottles, and on day 2, i was greeted with little cakes after i was done with shopping, and .. i think i should stop rattling on about the minute stuff.. *smiles*
Quacks was impressed with their dustbin - he seriously thought that they employed someone to draw their dustbin -_-" , of which it sparked a little joke from me which goes along the lines of - "Hi, my name is Daphne, and i am a dustbin designer. i draw lions on dustbins all day long! " Hahahhhaha
No offence, Quacks!
We headed over to Pavillion, situated near the Ritz for a short look see, and settled for Tony Romas for dinner. We were ravenous and decided to order salad to share, soup, combo set of ribs and a choice of another meat each.
When the salad arrived......

I was shocked at the portion, and i think the salad alone was huge enough to be called a main course! Salad consisted of grilled chicken breast, ham, egg, a whole garden of vegetables, cheddar cheese and topped with blue cheese dressing! So sinful! How to finish?!
But we attacked the salad fervently anyway, and i think we did quite a good job eating it.

The soup of the day was wonderful, some clear beef broth, and i ordered ribs with steak, and Quacks ribs with chicken i think, and i played quite abit with their different sauces.
Too hungry to take pictures, and its not like there isnt a Tony Romas in Singapore right?

Day2 Was all prepped up for some real shoppping in KL, but after scouring Times square and Sungei Wang, it was a fruitless attempt, my loot amounted to a pair of socks, and a bag. So much for all that exclaimation of KL being a shopping haven. Cheat my feelings man!
All that i spent shopping is barely 1/8 of my average shopping trip in Singapore! How bad can is THAT?
We then ventured into the Amusement park, and for something as promising as its shopping, the roller coaster was about all the excitement that they have to offer. The rest of the rides were just sick - twirling you round and round up and down is not my definition of thrilling, neither is hanging you upside down tilting left to right. It's just creating funny blood flow and stiff neck, not Adrenaline. Gah! i want a refund of RM60! That's us before that rollercoaster ride! The screams that we heard were prerecorded -_-"
Kinda funny to see one lonely burly man sitting on the ride, and the entire ride was filled with girlie screams - it is highly impossible for the burly man to be screaming like a girl, and also highly unlikely for the screams to always be sounding the same right? It is kinda spooky, if u ask me! *shudders when imagination gets carried away*
Our sad attempts in "budget" dinner landed us in the Chicken Rice Shop!
The grilled butter chicken combo meal is nice! I enjoyed the Kuay Pie Tee, the butter chicken and the mango salad! Yums! The soy sauce chicken not so good though..
Day 3
We packed up and cam whored alittle before we bade the Ritz Goodbye, and did some last minute venture over to the KLCC, LOT 10 and Pavillion, before heading back to Singapore.
We had a go at the LRT/MRT in KL, and went over to Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for a look see. The journey back from KLCC to the Ritz to get the car was alittle tedious, after the novelty of taking the LRT and MRT wore off. Because of my JB incident, and Zoe's version of her KL experience, i swore off cabbing in KL for my safety. Just call me paranoid if you have to.
I said hello to Juicy Couture at Pavillion!
Did i ever mention that the name Starhill is pretty? We pass by the entire Starhill area whenever we leave/go back to the hotel. Yays!
Jackie Chan's cafe in Lot 10 - love the comfy looking sofas with the funky attached table! If i have a big house, my living room would look just like it!
(Err, at least until i get bored of it, then i'll renovate again!
I figure that if i were to be able to afford such swanky amount of space in my home, i should be able to afford a frequent renovation everytime i get bored of my furnitures... and that would also includes owning an additional weekend getaway house - for me to escape the noise that renovations usually generates! I bet my "neighbours" would hate me in future if i were ever THAT RICH!) Hahahhaa
Apparently while i was asleep on the journey home, the speedometer maxed out. Gah!
End of entry! Ciao!

The great Zouk Tee Dance!

I Finally got hold of the pictures of Zouk's anniversary - The Great Tee Dance! ( pun intended). *Big Smile*
Pictures taken from all the random sites, and i think it looks pretty decent! Hee!
I took the chance to wear the corset top that i sewed myself, and after a night of partying, there is a few area that i would need to rectify, to make it a better top! :)
But still, i am proud of my handiwork!

The event was pretty cute, when we arrived, there was cute finger food served, such as donuts, rainbow jelly, star biscuits, brownies and i cant remember what,
and the later part of the event also featured the Zouk Anniversay Tee fashion show, where all the different local designers would showcase their creativity - using the same universal Zouk Tee, to slash and cut them into off shoulder tops, skirts, dress, tubes and many others! And now, for all the picture that we've taken for the night! We took lots of pictures, on the digital camera, and also the old school disposable ones that Zouk was giving out! For obvious reasons, i am just going to post up the digital pictures, because i have no idea where that disposable camera went to. * if you ask me, the disposable ones contained too much unspeakable pictures of Crix and Roger fooling around. *sigh*
Here you go, pictures of Daphne and friends ...Sober.
Daphne - Wasted, and evidence of her stupid friends (i.e Crix), fooling around, having fun at her expense. *sigh again* poor Daphne...
Oh well, being anniversary and all, I guess Zouk was being generous, the 4 of us had like 6jugs of booze to finish ( i cannot believe at how everyone was complaining about the measely amount of alcohol ration that we were given at the start of the event....) as towards the end, we were really just working keenly on giving away our booze... paying special attention to that funky jug that the bartender concocted at Roger's request of " you decide on the last one la" - Gingerale whisky i think *gags*
While i was wasted, the guys got me those highly coveted eye-balls that i was whining about right from the start of the event..Woots!
There you go, my newly found eye-balls! They are cute right? Tee hee hee!
Hahah! Ah yee and i had fun eye-balling for the camera!
Here we go, Little miss alien from Mars, and wide eyed Daphne! Woots!

Now that we're almost done with all the pictures, I guess it's best to conclude that I should stick to my usual Ribena in a bottle! It's purple, tastes pretty, and gives me Vitamins! I guess i'm still a little kid after all! ( Yes that is a good excuse for the alcohol intolerant Daphne) :X

Good night!

I want!

Now that exams are over! I'm having a whale of time doing all the nonsense ever!

I went mad after my papers, and i went shopping with Adi!
We went to get stuff for our secret project for a friend's birthday, and i bought present for another friend, and i bought myself a present, and i had a good sumptous dinner! Yay to freedom at last!

Anyway, i've found a few new cute gadgets to add to my wishlist! They are pretty, cute and EXPENSIVE!

Meet the mini cotton candy machine!
It requires no conventional sugar syrup...you could throw in a mentos and it'll churn out mentos flavoured cotton candy! So cute!
It's called an Ame De Wataame Custom Cotton Candy Maker! Retailed at USD 159 -_-"
So expensive just for a random sugar rush kick - and the only reason why i'll want it, is because i want to look at how a mentos, or fox candy or skittle or whatever hard sweet you can think of, will turn into a cotton candy. So fun!
Next would be something that I heart even more than the candy maker! It's a collaboration between Phillips and Swarovski and it's a heartshape pendant 1 gig USB flash drive! Soooo pretty!! Comes in 2 designs for the heart pendant, and i like the crystal one better than the fragmented embedded crystals design. I think it cost about 180USD. There is a few other designs such as a ring, lockets and many more...but i think the heart's the nicest! Meeehh!
The crystal comes in a few colors like silver as shown in the picture, and a light pink glazed crystal. Gahhh :D~






Now, why did i chance upon stuff like this, only after my birthday?
*sulks* But in anycase, i think it's insane to spend that amount of money on something so frivolously pretty.
Alright, wishlist aside, whooppee! I can sleep all i want now!

I am NOT a weakling

There are just days when even the toughest of the lot would crumble.
I'm not exactly a toughie, but i'm definitely no weakling, I am merely human afterall.
Forging on ahead solitarily seem so weary, as i ponder about the bleakness that i have to face.

I would very much like to burst into tears, wail out loud and snuggle in bed doing nothing at all but just sleep away, with no worries in the world to dwell and fret upon.
But shit, paper number 3/4 awaits me, as i race against time, a failing memory, and retarded brain.

Perhaps again, it's customary to breakdown every exams, just particularly laggy this time round.
What doesnt kill will only make me stronger.

As I sit around moping over a container of sweet potato dessert that mommy made.
Laced with salty tears, it's wweet, but alittle hazardous to ingest, comparable to ingesting a hard boiled egg yolk with no sauce or dressing.

I need Monday to scoot over a little quicker lest I collaspe.
