flu bug

Dear people around me,

I have once again been infected with the all-annoying-allegedly-conspired-to-be-deemed-cureless-by-pharmaceuticals-as-the-
economic-impact-is-like-goddamn-huge influenza. Btw, that's $10 billion in the US annually,to be exact. Fun fact for the day, dont you say?

No but seriously, the flu's in my face again this week as if last week's flu-attack was a little to mild. Accompanied with cough and sore throat but i'm going to pick just on flu today. And i'm sick of being sick! Drugs aint working as fast as i want them to! And it's making me moody and i'ma bitch about it till the cows come home! Oh and the mentioned conspiracy theory was politely informed to me by my doctor earlier this year. I don't know, maybe the medicine practice advanced within the year and eradicated the common cold, though i highly doubt it. Somebody needs to tell me these things if they happen.

My memory, reflexes and senses (both common and uncommon) has been messed with due to the little-pink-flu-pill that knocks me out cold after consumption. I dont remember that name anymore (thanks to the pills) but it sorta works better than the un-drowsy-fying clarinase, for me at least. However, since i dont take them 3 times a day like i'm supposed to, due to interferences with productivity levels, it's probably gonna take 2-3 times longer for me to get better.

sigh.

ok i'm tired, that's enought ranting for the day. Now i'm gonna have a cocktail of little round things that's suppose to make me all better.

ps: pls excuze me if i seem aloof or cranky for awhile. ciao

the blues

recently i was attending a local movie launch at menara celcom where celcom was obvoiusly one of the main sponsors for the movie. Naturally, things had to be in blue, you know, to make things a lil flashy. here's the few things we found blue;




The screen,



The food,

Incidentally, your's truly and Yuri's drink.


And after that, Effa brought be to the Ibero American Film Festival where they we're screening a spanish movie (A Titan In The Ring/ Un Titan en el Ring) that apparently inspired Nacho Libre though the moods were definitely in different directions. 'A Titan in the Ring' was more of a insightfully melancholic movie portraying the lifestyle in a small village of South America. At least they had good food and wine after the movie to lift spirits:)





The hall,
Sam popped by too,



The kind and tolerent Effa:)

We then went to have a coffee in KLCC where sam and i found something to do that showed how sober-ness is not really affected by alcohol levels,


Nice pose Sam, aha!


So that was my eventful week. Had a quiet weekend and I will be meeting Effa again for another screening tomorrow. Stay tuned~

fish food

hello world. how was your weekend? Me? Mine was good. I was away having excellent home-cooked Indian food all weekend due to the festival of lights:)

Last thursday i decided to give my older brother (kor) a bitrhday treat. A friend informed me about this wonderful spa with a special attraction in all-new Pavilion; Feeding the fishes with your feet, literally! It's this place where you soak your legs from knee down into a pond-like place and this little fishies will come nibbling away all the dead skin cells while promoting blood circulation! That's what the receptionist said anyways. It was really ticklish at first and they were kind enough to provide me with towels to bury my face and muffling my shrieks. All in all, a great experience. Kor enjoyed it, so that was a success. We decided to treat our parents in the spa this coming Xmas:)

Excuze my blurry photos, i didnt have the camera with me so i used my cell.

Cheerio!



My feet becoming fish food!


Kor's feet. The fishies seem to like him better.

IN love WITH love

Just last saturday i was watching my friend's loaned "Amazing Stories" DVDs by Steven Spielberg. When i came to the 'Guilt Trip' episode, i was sure i've seen this a long long time ago in a forgotten place. Or easier said, i forgot la when and where exactly i watched this. But definitely a long long time ago.

Just so happened that i wanted to write something inspired by that particular episode before my memory of it was pleasently refreshed. The episode was about the various emotions of mankind taking form of human beings and going around completing their jobs, quite vocal about it too. And in this scene we have our round and jolly Guilt with a striking resemblance to the late Pavarotti and Love, a confident attractive lady with dirty-blonde hair. I am guessing this scene was set in the late 80s or early 90s so you should let your fashion visualizations be more, em, yuppie-like, i suppose.

So the story goes, Guilt falls in love with Love but Love doubts Guilt loves her as an individual. Guilt may have just fallen in love with the act of loving itself intstead of our Miss Love. Do take a few moments to digest that sentence please. It's no use continuing to read if you didn't get that. *** So then, i just had to reflect my previous relationships to analyze if i may have developed the same syndrome as Mr. Guilt.

It is a known fact, at least for me, that i always thought i've had this 'bad-boy' syndrome (to be refered as BBS from this point). You know, where some women find some exciting attraction to 'bad-boys' for their dangerously rebellious attitudes, so to speak. So, i tried to remember (it's not as bad as it sounds) past experiences with old boyfriends and how i really felt. I have a feeling that this BBS has a slightly deeper reason than just, "exciting attraction for dangerously rebellious attitudes" or worse, for fun. I considered the Guilt syndrome, where loving someone, particularly someone perhaps a little more difficult to love, gives one a sense of twisted deed made for conquest. Yes, i suppose it sounds horrible at first. Then, the attempt of justification for the beneficial-half of the relationship helps sugar-coat the bitterness, for a while. Oh God, i feel a little disgusted with myself. I cannot, however, deny that while i did not notice at that point, may have just let that happen before. Well, at least i understand now. *Sigh*

Good to say that had passed and i shan't be allowing that to happen anymore. I do want to keep my intentions as genuine as possible, especially with Love and Guilt going off making unfatomable babies.

Halloween in town

You know, it's not so common for locals to dress up on Halloween night even at parties in town. Fortunately for me i had two buddies who we're hyped up enough to dress up with me and head out to Laundry for to party! wohooo~ i was the maestro makeup artist for the event, and just so if you cant figure out who we were suppose to be, here's a hint;






Vampire schoolgirl (my fangs come out only during feeding time and obviously i had my fill, thanks) and Morticia Addams (sporting a short hair-do) from Adam's family.



The Crow and the Werewolf/Hairy Man/santa with a bad dye-job/Osama



The gang with Freddy Krueger!



The Baby Gorilla, or maybe a smaller version of Bollo from Mighty Boosh. Ha!

The guys with an anchor man!


Quite a number of people actually dressed up for the night and we had a decent time, despite Osama acting like a b*tch on heat while terrorising the dancefloor. Hahaha, nola.. you know i sayang you right?

Anyways, for more pics you should check out The Crow's facebook album over here!
