It's 12.13am which means it's now..31 Dec = New Year Eve.

What am I gonna do for the new year celebration?
Definitely not gonna go for clubbing or anything like that.
I'm too old for that. *uhuk uhuk*

Boo. =(

But I'll still be around...somewhere. =)

Will update after the celebration (as usual).

And also, I would like to say that I have no new year resolution whatsoever. It just ain't happening.
No, scratch that.
It NEVER comes true.

So, I've decided...
"whatever happens, happens"

That's just the way it is.

Anyhoo,
would like to wish everyone in advance..
a..

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
(throws confetti in the air, blows whistle, pops balloons, screams like a maniac)

=Christmas Eve Celebration at Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi =

I've been to Colmar Tropicale for their Christmas dinner 3 times.

The first time it RAINED and they didn't have a canopy. I don't know if it was sheer stupidity or that they just didn't have a brain. Everything was decorated so nicely and they said "oh we asked a bomoh and the bomoh said it won't rain today" (My dad asked "no canopy? what if it rains?"). They actually paid a bomoh to "chant" around and TRUSTED the bomoh. hahahahaha. Having a bomoh to chant over a Christmas Celebration? It's no wonder the opposite effect happened. I drank some red wine and got drunk (I'm a really bad drinker. boohoo). Puked like there's no tomorrow and my face was as white as a corpse the next day.

The second time was alright. They had some nice stage shows but the crowd weren't happening and the dj was kinda boring.

Maybe the third time's a charm? =)
The thing I like about Colmar Tropicale a.k.a. the Malaysian "French Village" would be it's serenity.

So anyway..before I get off-topic again, here's the whole account of my experience of The Christmas Eve Celebration I had with my family at Colmar Tropicale:

I had no idea what to wear because..I DID NOT buy any new clothes for Christmas this year. *gasp*
Didn't have the motivation to buy..and the reason for this would be my closset which is currently VERY difficult to close. My youngest sister tried to search for a dress and she claimed that her hands were tired of pushing the hangers of clothes which wouldn't budge.
The thing is, I've ALREADY packed alot of clothes to be given away. For a moment, there were spaces in my closset here and there. But..after a few days, it was all filled up again. I give up. My closset has the magical ability to appear clothes on its own.

I was pratically sitting at the foot of my closset staring at my clothes before I made up my mind to pack my red halter dress which I've worn quite a few times. I've worn this for one of my birthday dinner at the KL Tower and I've worn it for my photoshoot with Extreme Cars Magazine. And guess how much it costs? RM15. Freaking cheap dress. But I like it. haha.
Btw, I ALWAYS wear red on Christmas and Cny.
Why Red on Christmas?
'Cause the Santa hat (I'd always wear a santa hat for Christmas celebrations as well) is red and I need red clothes to match. duh.

Well, as usual I had to take some photos of myself for memories. =)

Those canopies outside were put up "just-in-case-it-rained" since the first experience with the rain. I guess they did learn from their past mistakes. The funny thing is, it never rained after that. l-o-l.

I think I should make the look-out-the-window-emoly pose as my signature picture because the "mirror image" style (take a picture of your reflection in the mirror) is kinda old. Everyone's doing it. I would take a picture like this everywhere I travel from now on! hehe

Candid picture by my dad.

I totally adore that jester. He's SO funny! =)
Plus, he told me he lives in PJ.
I don't know why he had to make me such a big balloon. But it was really nice.
Some kid stole it towards the end of the night though.
I got robbed. By. a. kid.

Look at his white painted face and his cute expression. How can anyone not like him? hahaha.

Around 10pm++, a man came up to me and asked for my band number (we were required to wear bands like those you'd be given if you enter the theme park).
So I said: A138
He wrote down my number and happily said, "later when the dj calls your number, please go on stage. You've been chosen as a contestant in the best dressed competition"
I was like.. "OH NO."
'cause there's quite a lot of people there and I am NOT good with stages and all.

Oh yeah, there were alot of other contests as well. So much more of the crowd interaction this year. And there were loads of Singaporeans among us. haha.

Those were the contestants. 3 guys and 3 girls. (The Dj was hilarious)
1 pair of Indians, 1 pair of whites and 1 pair of Chinese. The chinese dude isn't in the picture because he wasn't called up yet when my dad took this picture.

The winner was chosen based on who-has-the-loudest-cheer. Which made me even MORE nervous 'cause it would be so embarassing if the dj says "contestant number 3!" and its all silence with crickets chirping. Right? RIGHT????

Surpisingly I won-lah.
hahaha. Wasn't expecting that. But having the crowd cheer for you is quite exhilarating I must say.

And the dude who won was the white guy from Germany.

Me and my "prize". It's some golf thing worth RM600.
Since I do not play golf at all, I told my mom to give it away as a present to those golf-lover-friends she has.
Another thing, my mom won a spa treatment worth RM800+ in a lucky draw as well!
Isn't it just marvelous?!?
I feel as though the good things are suddenly swirling in after all the disaster I experienced in the first part of the year. woot! Can things get any better?! =)

Me and my sisters were walking around when my beloved cute jester came up to us again. Took a picture with him.

And he helped us with a group-sister picture. =)

I feel like mrs. clause. LMAO.

Picture taken by my sis.

Around 11.45pm we returned to our seats to prepare for the countdown. It was really happening! Me and my sisters joined in the line the crowd made, jiggled around the whole place and we danced on the dance floor. I danced with the jester as well. X)
At 12AM we popped the party poppers and wished everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Last but not least, my super cute old-but-young parents. hahahahahaha

It was an awesome night =)

My mom decided to book and pay for the Christmas dinner at Colmar Tropicale before telling us because she did it at the very last minute..
At first it was all full (the hotel rooms and the dinner), but yesterday the dude called and said that a family cancelled so we got in. We also got the suite we requested for.
I find that my whole family's really blessed..
We always get what we want when we pray. Believe it or not. hehe. =)

Soo...whatever plans I made for Christmas Eve has to be cancelled. So sorry..it's not my fault! =/

will be back on 25th.
'till then, have fun celebrating Christmas everyone! ;)

Okayy..I was supposed to blog about this a few days ago.
I've finally watched the much-anticipated Twilight movie. Yes, I loved the Twilight series. I have all the books (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) and I've finished reading all of 'em.
Personally, I knew the book would always be better.
I didn't imagine Edward to look like THAT though. I imagined him to look more like Christian Haydensen.
First of all, Robert Pattison is WAY too full of himself. He looks okay in the movie, but in real life, he's like all "yeah, I'm THE man". Typical. Search for him in Youtube if you don't believe me. He looks drunk ALL the time when he's off set as well. Same goes to the lead actress Kristen Stewart. Her voice is so...damn, blur. Plus, she actually claimed that she didn't have the time to work on this movie/she had no idea the series existed/when she read the novel for the first time, she didn't like it. Ironic much?
Oh, and Robert Pattison's acting somewhat reminds me of some retarded kid in some of the scenes.

On the other hand....
I think Taylor Lautner (plays Jacob Black in the movie) is just...so hot.
Although he didn't look THAT good in Twilight, when he's off-set, oh-my-world. It could start a crazy-girl-fans frenzy.
The way he smiles..the way he talks..sigh.

But..the thing is..he's YOUNG.
Not gonna reveal his age. If you want to know..google it. =(

On another story altogether, I would like to talk about Yakuza Moon.


I watched a documentary about her on the Discovery Channel a few months ago and I went out searching for the book but to no avail.
At MPH the other day, while I was purchasing another book "The Gift by Cecilia Ahern", I caught a glimpse of a tattooed body on the cover on a book and immediately I knew, it was the book I was looking for. I remembered how it looked like when it was held it up in the show. I was so EXCITED (yes, I get excited over books as well. Not only over shoes or bags or clothes.).
Her story intrigued me to purchase her book and I finished reading it in one sitting.

Written by Shoko Tendo, Yakuza Moon was the story of her life being a daughter of a Yakuza ever since she was a child. She was able to tell her story in such detail that you would feel as though you were in that era with her. I would say it's an accomplishment for someone who didn't go through the normal process of education.
I nearly teared while reading her book.
Will not give out any spoilers here. If you want to know more..buy the book. It's only RM87.75 =)

I thought..if I cut myself off from those people the gossips would stop.

I was wrong.

Seems like there's just too many cock talkers out there.
But I would like to make things clear before anyone has the chance to stir up another pot of lies.

1. I will not respond to flirts from a guy who has a gf.
2. I will not steal people's bf.
3. I will not lie about such things.
4. I am NOT interested in ANYONE right now.
5. Whoever's my friend will always remain as just a friend to me.

All these while I only talked about how much I hate, how I hurt I am, how I have to go through all those dramas. Today, I will explain. Everything. From the beginning.

I know I had some haters when I got together with my ex of 2 years because alot of people thought I "stole" him. And because of that, rumours spread. Regina's a bitch, etc etc.
The thing is, at that time I never knew anything. I was stupid, I was naive, I believed everything he said. If I KNEW, I would NEVER get with him.
I'm not that kinda girl.
I have never cheated on my bf and I never will.
Whatever stories, whatever rumours. They're nothing but a lie. I never cheated on ANY of my ex. NEVER.
Those are lies made up by people who are obviously pretty low in the Intelligence department.

I can't believe how far-stretched a story can come up to?

I would never hurt a person on purpose..
I just can't..

Also, I will not ruin another person's happiness for my own. It's too selfish and too inhuman for me to do so.

I made a mistake once, by falling for a guy who lied about everything to me. Lied about the fact that he broke up with his gf when he didn't..which I only found out after 3 months we were together.
When I knew about it, I cried. Yes, I cried an ocean full of tears because I never knew anything. I cried for her, I cried for myself for being so stupid. But it was too late beacuse I've fallen in love so deeply. Fallen in love with someone who was never meant for me.

From there everything was just a roller coaster of emotions, I felt feelings I've never felt before, and I felt hurt so bad, I thought my heart could stop beating. Yes, I've paid the price. And now it's done.

But my reputation would never be as clear as it was in high school again.
Some girls choose to believe what they hear, and they refuse to see that I am just an ordinary person, just hoping for something so simple. I don't need all the drama, I don't wanna hear what people's been talking about behind my back.

Please. Just. Stop.

I've had enough.

I don't know if the person would be reading this, but I just need to say it. I can't allow another bastard a chance to tarnish my name (Warwick has done enough damage for me. He made my other ex hate me so much, I think he'd hate me for life. And I never knew what kinda SHIT he told him. Yes Warwick, although I am able to talk to you as a friend now, a part of me would always hold a certain resentment towards you.) and I don't want anymore misunderstandings.

I hope you'd know who you are.

Girl, whatever your "friend" told you, is a lie. I never allowed anyone to check my messages on my phone, nor did I tell your "friend" anything. He made everything up because he is a bullshitter. Everyone told me he was like that, and now I know, it is undeniably true. Please, stop believing in him. I know you've known him for years, but you just have to see his true character. Don't allow this to break such a long relationship you've had. Your bf and I, are nothing but friends. It always has and always will be. I decided to say it here, as a proof, for everyone to see. Because I'm not afraid. And, you should know better than to turn to W for advice. He's not much of an advice giver because from what I know, he'd only make things worse.

To the guy who said "oh I saw in Regina's phone xxx ask her for couple" : stop being so immature. You're no doubt one of the most immature guy I've ever met. You're 20 for goodness sake.
It's time to grow up, boy. Do whatever it takes, go for some maturity talk, hang around with guys who can actually think straight, go for a brain transplant,... just..just.. do SOMETHING about it! You know what? So what if you have the looks? your heart, is as black as coal. THAT, is one of the most repulsive characteristics anyone could have. *spits* Most of all, because of that petty act you did, you're in the same category as Warwick. It's all about the lies/cock talking huh? Well, have fun cuz one day it'll all come back to you. Toodles.

=)

What's the story? =)
So anyway..here are some of the other pictures I stole from the website. hehe.
My partner told me that they used some of the pictures for print ads as well..and he saw it.. Malu-nye.
But, overall I'm quite satisfied with the outcome..so yeah. Enjoy~!

This was taken at some old houses around Klang. People who were driving were practically slowing their cars/motorbikes/vans/lorries down to look.
The thing is, they probably thought we WERE getting married.
l-o-l.

It was a hot day and although those "lalangs" looks nice in the picture, the place was filled with mosquitoes. I have diminished all thoughts of "modelling is easy" from my mind from the past 2 years.. It is so-not. In fact, it is very very tiring.

Our concept album's theme was red I suppose..

I really like this picture! Look at my beautiful fake nails. *laughs* Those were the nails I did with Kylie on her birthday. It actually lasted me more than a month. ;)

The photographer said "push him with all your might!"
So I did.
As you can see, he is practically suffering under my weight. hahahaha.

This shot would be my favourite so far.
=)

And..what wedding would it be without the white gown?..





That's all for now!
Sorry, the pictures are really small because it was print-screened.
I'll be getting the full set of pictures soon, I hope.
Tell me what do you think? =)

Got a message from Su Keong saying that our bridal pictures are up in the website..so..instead of waiting for the cd which would take forever, I decided to print screen some. muahahaha.
Here's one of the photo. There's supposed to be a storyline to the pictures. I don't know what's the story though. Gotta wait for them to put it all together in an album. X)

Do I look..HAPPY? ;p

ps : I'm busy playing Perfect World (private server) these days. heh. X)

9th Day [6th Dec 2008] : Paris -> Amsterdam Airport -> KLIA (home!)

Visited: The La Fayette Gallery

I totally forgot 'bout this post. Not really important but..would just like to complete the holiday post. =)

Let's see..
On the last day before we went to the Paris Airport, we had time to stall 'till 3pm.
So, we decided to go to The La Fayette Gallery to shop.
They had LOADS of brands there and I must say, I was totally in love with some of the...
umbrella's there. Yep, umbrellas. 'Cause there were just TOO cute! There were so many designs and colours..plus, it was some HIGH quality stuff. One umbrella costs about Rm100+. Obviously, I did not make the purchase. I'm not stupid enough to spend 100+ for an umbrella. (although it was really really really really cute)


I did see this amazing outfit though! The thing is, I don't have any dinners, weddings, etc etc to go to. Sad case. I'm not happening. =( I'm talking about the one on the right (er..the left one...I've seen plenty similiar to that in Sungei Wang). It looks so chic, with the gloves and all.

In the end, I only bought 1 Lollipops Paris clutch & bag + 1 Guess wallet. I've been in love with the brand "Lollipops Paris" ever since they opened the branch in Sunway Pyramid. I blame Annie for showing it to me. X)

About an hour before we had to head to the Paris airport, we made 1 last visit to our favourite Thai restaurant just around the corner to have our lunch. In total we ate there 3 times. haha. Seriously the food was good. She even offered us free coffee. =) mind you, coffee in Paris is not cheap.

We had to take a flight from Paris to Amsterdam because there isn't any direct flights from Paris to KL. Proves that Malaysia is sooo insignificant, they don't even wanna fly here. Sigh.

Well anyway, throughtout the journey I couldn't sleep because my time zone was set to the time in Europe. Yeah, I can adapt quite easily other time zones I guess.

But, before we arrive I was starting to get sleepy...
*yawn yawn*
Some people were opened their damned windows allowing the bright sun to shine in..so I did this (was to lazy to request for the eye mask):
Who cares..no one from the plane's ever gonna see me again....right? haha.
Oh! and we came back with 13 bags!

It may look small in the picture..but..trust me, in real life, people were looking at us as though we shifted the entire house.

Ok, now that I'm done with the holiday-trip-post, I hope you people have enjoyed reading about it as much as I enjoyed being there! ;)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for something which is more current:

My maid's gone for a holiday which means.....
there's no one to wash the plates, clean the house, open the gates, clean the animals, mop/sweep the floor, pack stuff, cook, wash/iron clothes etc etc.
A MONTH WITHOUT MY MAID is really BAD ok.
I'm basically transforming into a housewife material because I'm doing the dishes, setting out the plates and all for lunch and dinner, ocassionally sweeping the floor and hanging the clothes.
Learning to COOK?
Oh well.
To console myself I have decided to say...from all these training at least I'll be able to make a good wife. HAHAHA. (It's a joke. Geddit? Geddit? It's your cue to Laugh!)
Sigh, if I were to get a husband, I guess I'll have to get one who can stand my un-understandable/non-funny jokes.

Oh yeah, me and my sisters decorated our house nicely this year. It looks so christmas-y! =)
Don't know why..but I'm really excited 'bout Christmas all the time. hehe.

8th Day [5th Dec 2008] : Paris

Visited: Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Montmatre Cathedral

I finally got to visit the Notre Dame Catheral where the "legend" of The hunchback of Notre Dame came from!
I loved that cartoon by Disney. haha
Always made me wonder if it existed..but I found out that..the story was made up in order to save the church as they were going out of funds to keep it running. Nevertheless, it was a good story which made the cathedral famous. =)

Not only that, they supposedly have the crown of thorns worn by Jesus somewhere in the cathedral.

They would only take it out for display on a certain day and a certain time.

I decided to give an offering to the church by giving them some money and lighting a candle.
Another very beautiful and majestic church. =)

Also, I decided to buy a rosary which costs me around RM100.
It sounded cheap in Euro's. -.-

We went for a quick lunch and some shopping and proceeded to...

Yes, you wouldn't have been to Paris if you haven't been to... The Eiffel Tower. ;p

I honestly did not know that it was THAT high.
My parents bought the ticket for the highest floor..
and when the lift just kept rising..I was wondering..
"is it going to stop...now?.........
or now?..........
or now?...........
or NOW??!?!..................."

Seemed like it would never end.
It was kinda scary. Definitely not for those who are afraid of heights because the lifts they used are surrounded by transparent glass, so you could actually look down to see how high you're going. Freaky shit.
But it was fun. haha.

Since we purchased the tickets to the highest floor, we were also entitled to stop at the 2nd highest floor (which was wayyyy lower than the highest floor).
We decided to do a little sightseeing fron the 2nd highest floor before proceeding all the way up.

I was soo happy I actually go to be up there!
I felt on top of the world! Literally!

The wind was so strong up there, but it was MUCH stronger on the highest floor.
I had to hold my hat in place to keep it from flying away.

If you have a balancing problem, the wind on the highest floor could throw you off balance in a snap. I was afraid it'll blow me off the tower. Thank goodness they had those metal fences.

When we were done playing around, we went back down to the second highest floor for a cup of hot chocolate and coffee with waffles.
My dad was all, "mun take a pic of me and mommy drinking coffee in the eiffel tower!"
hahaha.


I love them both so much! =)
Not because they brought me there. I love them because they're the best parents anyone could ever have. ;)

Beneath the Eifftel Tower there was this VERY beautiful garden.
Doesn't it look like a painting??? believe it. It's REAL. =)

By night fall, we headed to the Montmatre Cathedral.

I know it looks like a mosque but it is NOT.
It's a very beautiful church.
Outside the church there was this man acting as a statue. I wanted to see one of those for quite a long time.haha

I went over to take a picture with him and he automatically gave the peace sign..so I'm like..oh..ok.."peace?". Lala-ness I tell you. But it's ok, I'm only doing that once in a blue moon. Not in every freaking picture. heh. :p

The next pose, he was giving the "I want to kiss you" thing. With sounds and all. -.-
He has to be one of the most happiest "statues" around. *laughs*

Oh! and we also saw nuns singing that night! They sounded like angels. I was extremely mesmerized by their collaborative voices. =)
Although I had no idea what they were singing about because it was all in French, one thing's for sure, there were singing for God. And that was all that mattered. ;)

7th Day [4th Dec 2008] : Paris

Visited: The Versailles, Chams d'Elysees (Arc De Triomphe)

Our first stop for the day was The Versailles which is known to be one of the most famous palaces in Paris. The palace space was HUGE. If you were to walk from the front of the palace right to the end, it would probably take a day or so. I'm not kidding.

This is the GOLDEN gates at the entrance of the palace. It was recently refurbished, so that explains the extreme shininess which gives that particular "glow".

Inside the palace there were plenty of doors which lead to many many rooms. Not all of the rooms were accessible to public.
Btw, Everything was LARGE in the palace.
The doors,
The fireplace (can throw a human in, and he/she would burned up like a roasted pig), and even the beds. I felt like a midget.
The beds are so high, I wonder why do kings have to sleep on such height?? What if they roll off the beds? wouldn't it hurt? haha. X)

The hall of mirrors (my favourite) were one of the most famous halls within The Versailles.
I can totally see why.
Mirrors lined the walls in the hall and it looked so magnificent!
Who WOULDN'T love that??

Took a picture with part of the mirrors. haha
I could see myself from every angle.
Other than that, the whole palace was filled with beautiful paintings, magnificent stairways and sculptures which would make you speechless at it's detail. Every part of the palace was decorated, you'd feel like you're walking in a piece of art. Randomly looking out any of the magnificent large windows, you'd see a beautiful scenery of the colourful gardens. Oh yeah, other than this extremely huge palace, there were other mini houses/palaces surrounding the place. But the nearest one was a 30 minutes walk from the main palace. Imagine how did the people live there? They'd probably have to travel around by horses.
The "mother-in-law" happened to live in the furthest palace. *laughs*

Ah, another one of my dreams realised. Seeing a real(old) palace. =)

Upon exit, I saw this heart! Oh yea, they had some 3d art all around the palace by some modern artist. I don't really know it's there, but, this heart sure had my interest! =)
I bent down in order to make sure I had the full heart in the picture. haha

After some adjustments I was able to stand up properly and take a picture with it. Don't ask me why am I so obsessed with it, I don't know! I took so many pictures of this heart. haha.

Did I mention that it was raining on that day?
Well, not exactly raining like it has been in Malaysia. It was more of a light drizzle (but they call it rain).
Although it was only a drizzle and you could barely feel the water, when the wind blew..oh my..you'd feel like you're in a freezer. The wind was so strong, it could turn your umbrella inside out. -.- *moment of silence to the black umbrella, it has served us well*

Some happy memories with the black umbrella. You can't see it, but the back of the umbrella was spoilt by the wind.

R.I.P black umbrella! I closed it, and it was gone forever.
Actually that wasn't my umbrella, was my dad's but it was in my car for a long time. So yeah.
My umbrella's pink. I bought it from Japan.
To save my own lovely umbrella, I decided to wear a plastic raincoat my dad bought................
from MYDIN.
Can you imagine that? I feel so self-less.

Ok, the truth is I'm just too lazy to hold an umbrella.
It's not because I wanted to save it. Holding an umbrella is quite a tiring job when you had to snap photos, pose and smile at the same time. Look at this picture, I look so free I could fly.
haha.
I know I look ridiculous though. But it's alright, I don't really bother about embarassing myself anymore because I've embarassed myself billions of times I've become totally unaffected by people's laughter, sniggers behind my back, etc etc. Sound sad huh? Well, that's the truth 'bout my life. ;p

Ops, got a little over distracted there.
back to the story.
We took a mini train which was supposed to bring us to Marie Antoinette's palace but we got off at the wrong place and we were running out of time. So, we decided to take pictures around the main palace instead.

It was a really bumpy ride though. Look at the road.

My dad claimed that his backbones were breaking. haha
Me and my sisters were having fun though.
My sister said, "are they trying to give us the feeling of being in a horse carriage?"

This is one of their "basins".
A very large lake with lot's of swans.
You can't see it in the picture but there were loads of swans on my right.

I got a close-up of one. =)
There were sculptures all around the mesmerizing garden.

And..you can see that there are puddles of water created by the drizzle.

Bought some souveniers and it was time to go to..

Chams d'Elysees.
My beloved mom and dad! =)

Me and my lovely sisters.

And of course..one of Paris's landmark.

The Arc de Triomphe.

Nerd talk : Anyone played Final Fantasy 8 before?? This arc looks exactly like the arc where Squall was supposed to trap the witch Edea. I was so excited. hahaha =D
