Was A Big Friday Night

My Friday night last week started at Element Lounge. On my way there, I ran into Ball Breaker on the street and she was showing me the micro mini dress (I personally think it's a top not a dress) she was wearing. She had only worn black opaques with it and lifted the back of the dress to show me how revealing her ass was. I couldnt believe she left home like that but the funniest part was when she lifted her dress to flash her ass, Kam was walking behind us. We couldnt stop laughing when we realised that Ball Breaker had given Kam a sneak peek so early on in the night. When we got there, November Cleo, BBs, Groupie Lover, Azamat & Boyscout were already there. 007 and Shorty came to join us half way through the night. This was just the beginning of a big piss up. The music at Element Lounge was great, when the DJ was playing. If he wasnt spinning, they actually had a singer singing popular tunes from the current charts. Cant say she was fabulous. I felt like I was sitting in a cheap Malaysian karaoke bar everytime she came on the mic. Saw K there and it was so nice of her to give our table a platter of free finger food and some chips. She really didnt have to. I'm sure November Cleo would 've paid for the food! I swear, all I ever hear her complain about is being hungry. Now I understand why people say she stores the food in her big toe. The bitch wears size 8.5 shoes!!! That's huge man!

Having a deep & meaningful conversation with Boyscout, he told me his last girlfriend left him and became a lesbian. That says alot about him I guess. What the hell did you do to her? I suppose most of the lesbians I know have had boyfriends in the past. How they turned their backs and started batting for the other team, I have no idea. One friend told me that she knew from a very young age that she fancied girls. But had a boyfriend just to "try it out". Needless to say, the boyfriend didnt have enough power to keep her there in the relationship. So, off she went to join the other team. For me, lesbianism is just a phase. It's not something I'm neither comfortable nor uncomfortable with. I couldnt possibly date a woman, but my friends all think I'm a closet lesbian. Well, maybe I am just into short term thrills with another woman because I'm certainly not built to have a relationship with one. I am quite aware of this.

After 3 or 4 bottles of whites (I lost count after my 3rd glass), not forgetting the precious glass November Cleo decided to wash my feet with, Ball Breaker and I went to Lavish. This was our plan all along I guess. For a change, just the 2 of us partying at Lavish. We had asked Swing Sister and SJ to join us at Element but they were at Cookie and didnt want to come all the way down to Queen St. Princess Model was busy on a hot date with WMDM at Miss Saigon. I cant really remember the journey to Lavish from Element, but I do remember I didnt really drink when I got to Lavish. The wines at Element were enough to kill me. 007 was over friendly with Ball Breaker and Shorty, well Shorty turned into an octopus at Lavish. Swing Sister, Mr S and Princess Model all came down to join us at Lavish around 1.30. Ofcourse SJ bailed out and went home. The sight of Asians seems to be a turn off for our newly reformed dumb blonde-wanna-be.

What a big night it was and what a great time we all had. Starting the night off at Element Lounge was great. Ball Breaker and I really enjoyed ourselves, a bit too much I suspect. I managed to sneak out of Lavish at around 2.30am without anyone noticing. The alcohol and exhaustion level had reached it's limit. I was just hanging to go home. The rest of them partied on to Cutey's apartment till the sun came up. What's new?

Refuse A Drink? Hell No!

The audit went well yesterday. My CEO was thoroughly impressed with my site's performance. The debriefing went well and there were more positives than negatives which is always a good thing. After the long day, I had wanted desperately to crawl in my bed and never wake up. Then Siew Yum called me and told me she'd be at Cookie with November Cleo. I had refused to go for celebratory drinks with my bosses where it would be free, but instead drove my tired ass to Cookie. Yeah, I couldnt refuse a drink. I was tired, hang on that's an understatement. I was exhausted beyond comprehension, but I needed a drink. All the hard work and long hours have paid off. I deserved a drink...... or two. Spoke to Kam and I told him I was only going to have one glass of wine. He was right. I would never stop at one glass!

Caught up with Siew Yum, November Cleo, Groupie Lover, Liv and BBs at Cookie. We were all so excited about our trip. Siew Yum, always the planner, has it down to how many pairs of undies, shorts and jeans each person should bring. November Cleo is apparently bringing like 5 pairs of shoes to Spain. Err..... dont they sell shoes in Spain??

We had all wanted to leave around 7.30. The lesbos wanted to eat and I wanted to go home. Then SJ called and wanted to meet for one drink. I told her I was going home and that she could hang with the lesbos, but she wanted me to wait for her. So I made Siew Yum, Groupie Lover and November Cleo hang with me till SJ got there.

At about 8pm, Cutey called and spoke to Siew Yum:

Siew Yum: (rambling on about something)

Cutey: Let me speak to someone responsible!

Siew Yum hands me the phone. What the?

Cutey: I wanna eat chilli chicken for dinner

Me: Err....ok...SJ and I are not going. You go with Siew Yum and November Cleo

Cutey: I'm gonna book a table for 7

Me: 7?? I'm not going!

Cutey: Ok, I book.

Me: Call me when you're in the city. Come to Cookie for a drink

Before I knew it, Siew Yum and November Cleo had gone to the bar and ordered dinner at Cookie. At that point, I totally forgot Cutey was on her way to the city to meet them for dinner. Then Cutey calls and she wasnt happy that the lesbos had already started eating at Cookie. I think that was my fault (the responsible one), but honestly I think it was Cutey's fault for not confirming with Siew Yum first before making the booking! Bloody Cutey and her chilli chicken.

SJ and I left together and by then I had no energy left. The exhaustion had really started to sink in. I was glad to be out of there. Wonder how long the lesbos stayed on till?

No More Hard Work

I havent had a chance to contribute to my blog for over a week now. Yes, I have been extremely busy at work over the last couple of weeks. As a matter of fact I didnt get home till 3.30 this morning (and it's not from partying!) and was back in the office at 7am. Atleast the big audit is finally over. Well, it's not over just yet, but the hard work preparing for it is over. The auditors are here and I'm just counting down the minutes till they leave. After today, it will be back to long lunches and early knock offs. Woohoo! I didnt realise working was this difficult......

The Black Man is in the building but I dont think he will dare to say boo to me today. I've locked myself up in my office and everone thinks I'm in a foul mood. But, really I'm not. I'm so relieved that the preparation is over. All I want now is some peace and quiet to blog. I actually had time to chat with The Nurse on gmail earlier. She's good and is missing everyone in Melbourne. She told me she's spending her birthday this year in Sweden. Bitch! Just be nice to those hot Swedish boys!!

Man, I'm so tired I could crawl under my desk and go to sleep. No hesitation at all. I had big plans to go out tonight after work, get wasted or atleast have a few drinks. But now, I'm not so sure anymore. How can I refuse a drink?

Speaking of drinking always reminds me of Princess Model. She left for Hawaii last night and was sweet of her to sms me this morning to let me know she's landed safely in the land of fat people and fast food. Hope she doesnt come home a blob (not to be confused with blog). Lucky girl, always jet setting around. Wonder if she will need me as a chaperone next time she travels?

Hua Designs

Went on a road trip with the girls on Saturday to Springvale. Azamat would say "dont you need a passport to get there?". We bravely ventured into the Springvale shopping centre in search of a restaurant for lunch. If you thought Footscray was bad, Springvale is 10 times busier. The cars and people have no concept of road rules. People cross the streets when they feel like it and cars are reversing and double parking all over the place. I felt like I was in KL! We had a nice lunch with both Princess Model and Swing Sister hung over from the night before. Princess Model was ok before we had lunch but decided to have a late hangover reaction right after lunch.

After lunch we made our way to visit The Designer. SJ and I were supposed to pay her a visit to show her the material Piggy had sent us for the bridesmaid's dresses. Piggy sent over a whole heap of fuschia coloured satin material for us to be creative and come up with something that would suit our dresses. But our initial mission soon became a shopping expedition which included Princess Model and Swing Sister. When we got to The Designer's warehouse, everyone went sick! We spent more than 3 hours there just trying things on like it was all going out of fashion. The Designer's label, Hua, is ultra eccentric and unique. Many of the pieces are a big challenge to put on. Uniquely designed in a way that certain pieces can be worn 10 different ways. Kind of like my ultimate black dress. I personally think The Designer's clothes are quite funky. Very runway, catwalk pieces, just not sure if anyone would wear them out on a regular day. Having said that, I left the warehouse with a lovely green jacket and a black dress. Princess Model did the most damage and spent over $1200 on maybe 8 or 9 pieces. Out of control! I'm quite happy with my purchases, now just cant wait to wear them.

Planning Paris

Swing Sister and Mr S came over for dinner last Thursday. It was a night of planning for our accomodation in Paris. Part of the plan was to stay with Mr Ferrari in Paris, but I guess that's not gonna happen now. We spent all night after dinner on the net finally narrowing down the areas in Paris we would consider staying at. It took us bloody 4 hours just to decide which part of Paris we'd like to be in. Geez. Now we have to shortlist some hotels in these areas. Just the accomodation in Europe alone is going to burn a big hole in my wallet. How the hell am I going to shop?? Thanks to Mr S who's been doing his homework on our hotel options. I'm the lazy one. He's emailed me a list of hotels and I still havent had a chance to go through them. Let's just wing it, I say.

Almost everyone will be away at the same time. Ball Breaker and I will be the first to leave. Cutey, TOT, Mr S and Swing Sister will be meeting us in Malaysia. We will then be meeting up with BBs, Siew Yum and November Cleo in Barcelona. It all sounds like too much fun. I bet none of us will want to come back. As for Princess Model, she's not joining us on our trip but she's certainly not missing out either. She'll be off to Hawaii next week for a couple of weeks. Bitch! Bring me back a Hawaiian boy. Thank you :-) SJ will also be meeting us in Malaysia then she's jet setting off to Europe as well. Unfortunately her itinerary does not coincide with any of ours so, we wont get to see her in Europe. I'm sure I'll hear all her bar (or boy) hopping stories when we get back.

The day is fast approaching but not quite soon enough. And with the miserable weather here over the last couple of days, I wish I was on a plane and out of here tonight!

Cant Be F*cked......

Behind me and beyond the walls of this depressing office, everyone is busy working hard in reluctant anticipation of our mid year audit. As for me, I've simply had enough. Today, I just feel like sitting behind my desk and spending the afternoon blogging about my thoughts. It's Friday and the rain is pouring outside. This weather is not doing me any favours. I hate it! Princess Model would be first to put up an argument about this sort of weather. She looves the rain and the cold. She's weird. Remembering the times she's yelled at me for having the heater on in my car when it's 18 degrees outside. Hello!!! 18 degrees is not hot ok?

I've spent the day trying to do some work, "trying" being the operative word. My boss, The Black Man has been here all day and has finally left the building. Someone said to me today that I am being racist by calling him The Black Man. Am I really? I mean no ill feeling when I call him that. He's black, thus the aptly name "The Black Man". Well, maybe I am a tad bit racist, but I have nothing against black men. In all honesty and seriousness, I actually quite like black men. Something sexy about them. Maybe I'm just thinking of Blair Underwood from Sex and The City. Yummm :-P

Dr. Robert Leeds

30 minutes to go and the rain hasnt shown any signs of slowing down. Some of my friends are having after work drinks tonight at Element Lounge. I'd love to go and now hearing that November Cleo and Siew Yum are gonna be there, makes me want to go even more. Sad but true. I'm in a melancholy kind of mood. My mind is neither here nor there. The weather sucks. And I hear Ball Breaker telling me "we need the rain". Yes, yes, we sure do. I just cant wait till this day ends so I can go home and climb underneath my doona and plant my ass on the sofa for the rest of the night. What a great way to spend a Friday night.

Mother's Day

It was Mother's Day last Sunday and I spent the day having yum cha at Dragon Boat on the Yarra with family. The food was just unappetising. Being a special day, the restaurant was packed out and I guess the food was just plainly mass produced with no thought put into the taste of the dumplings. I hate going for yum cha on days like this. Any special occassion, the food at yum cha restaurants are guaranteed to suck. Having a mild hangover from the night before didnt help either. Everything just tasted like cardboard.

After yum cha, I went to Victoria Market to get one of my dogs a bed. Yes, a dog bed. The cold weather is coming up and I dont want her to spend another year sleeping on concrete so being the caring person that I am, I decided to buy her a bed. Whilst at the market, I went to pay Socks a visit and found out that he's booked in the venue for his wedding. It's going to be on 30th December this year. He also told me that since planning for this wedding, he's had countless number of arguments with his fiancee. They just cant seem to agree on anything for the wedding. Not only are they having a reception here, they are also having a huge one in Taiwan. What a pain this must be. I think I'll be quite happy eloping in Vegas or something like that. Ideally, I'd like to be married on a secluded island somewhere with just my close family and friends present. None of this 400 people wedding reception rubbish. What a waste of money and effort.

Ball Breaker, Princess Model and Beng were supposed to spend Mother's Day together on a picnic late morning. But as Princess Model and Beng have set precedents in the past, both did not wake up in time. Ball Breaker was the only one who invested time and effort into preparing for this picnic that didnt happen. Poor thing. I did tell her to come for yum cha with me.

Got home after the market and spoke to my mom. She thought I had forgotten about her until she received the big bouquet of flowers I had sent. The wonders of the Internet and Interflora. Just as I have always envisioned Mother's Day to be a day to celebrate with my mom, and only my mom, this year, I realised that a few of my friends are mothers too. F*ck, I must be getting old. Thankfully, I remembered in time to wish my sister, Odie and SJ a happy mother's day.

Drunken Mahjong Night

Princess Model, Beng and myself had planned this mahjong session from last Friday. But I knew it was too good to be true. Princess Model didnt get out of bed till late Saturday afternoon and Beng was uncontactable the whole day and night. He was totally out of it, not even hearing his 101 missed phone calls from Princess Model. In the end Beng decided to waltz his way out of bed and call us to ask if we were still keen to play. We were supposed to start playing at 3 in the afternoon so we could finish early enough for those who wanted to go home to bed and for those who wanted to party on. But no, these party animals didnt get out of bed in time. Eventually, we met up at Princess Model's at 7pm to kick off the showdown of Malaysian style mahjong.

Geez, I havent played mahjong in years. And it was still just as much fun! The three of us were making up the rules as we went along. At the same time, we were downing glasses of white wine and getting ourselves wasted. Princess Model had an array of drinks on her little private side table. She had a cup of tea, a bottle of coke and a glass of white, all ready to be consumed at the same time. What the?

Beng ended up winning all our money. Well, I lost $2.50..... I still lost, damn it! But it was such good fun. Princess Model was very reluctant to leave the mahjong table and she probably could've played on all night. Siew Yum and BBs were sms-ing me throughout the night asking me to go down to Blvd. In my happy state, I was keen to go down for a boogie. For the first time in awhile, Princess Model was adamant on staying home. Well, for all those times she made us go to Blvd and Lavish with her, this is pay back! Beng was keen to go too, so it wasnt just me. By the time we got there, it was already past 2am. Caught up with BBs, Siew Yum and November Cleo. I vaguely remember one of the twins with us at Blvd. Was I dreaming?

Middle Eastern Night

Due to the fact that our dear friend Princess Model claims to have never tasted Lebanese (we're talking about food here, incase anyone was wondering) before, Ball Breaker took the liberty of organising a wonderfully themed Middle Eastern night out for some Leb food. We all met up at Cafe Zum Zum on Rathdowne St in Carlton. I never knew this restaurant existed. We had a $35 set menu and the food was terrific. I really enjoyed every dish they brought our apart from the dessert. That was the worst part. I'm just not into the super sweet turkish delight and pastries. Ball Breaker was busy asking everyone what kind of spice they used on the chicken dish. Nobody had any idea. Why did she want to know anyway? Was she going to prepare us a Middle Eastern dish? The night was well themed but I dont think we specifically had any Lebanese food. Oh well, Middle Eastern food is all the same anyway. But Princess Model is still kicking to go to an authentic Lebanese restaurant. Another night out I guess!

During dinner, Mr S sms-ed TQ to see where he was. We knew he was with KC and VB but we had no idea where they were. TQ replied to tell us they were at The Order and told us to join them. However, when Mr S sms-ed VB, he got no reply. Did he not want us to invade his territory? We decided to got to Polly on Brunswick St. instead. The place made delicious cocktails but not much eye candy around. Our group were by far the best looking in the entire place! No kidding. Princess Model ordered an aptly named cocktail called The Princess and I had a cocktail called The Mistress. Should've had The Devil instead. Ball Breaker was pretty much stuck with Blondie all night. We found out she was only 22 and Ball Breaker seemed to be having such a great time in conversation with her, that Princess Model, Swing Sister and myself thought it was best to leave them alone. Later on in the night, Ball Breaker managed to escape from Blondie for a few minutes and came to tell me how upset she was that we all left her alone. She had infact wanted us to rescue her! Too funny. Ok, next time we will know better. And come to think of it, Princess Model even asked me "since when those two became best friends?".

HYC and Emo turned up to Polly with some friends as well. What a surprise. Swing Sister was happy to see Emo. She thinks he's cool, I think he's a freak, Princess Model thinks he's oily and I know someone else who thinks he's unwashed! You know, for a semi decent looking guy, it's a shame he has to hide his face behind his curly locks. I guess it's all in the emo fashion statement. Beng gave me a rundown on the difference between goth and emo. I still dont quite get it, but I was told emos like to dress like goths with no emotions on their face. WTF? So is Swing Sister aspiring to be a goth or an emo? I'm confused.

I left after The Mistress and the rest went over to Bimbo across the road. Princess Model told me the music was great (house....hmmm) and no cover charge to get in. Oh, and the highlight of her night was getting picked up by a Lebanese guy. How ironic. The whole night was supposed to be themed towards all things Lebanese. Instead, Princess Model dresses up like a Turkish Delight and we end up in a restaurant which serves a general all round Middle Eastern food. No Lebanese satisfaction until Princess Model finally got picked up by one. Nice.

p.s. Sorry PM, I stole your photos!

Miss Saigon

After working late every night this week, it was a relief to finish up at 5.30 last night and head to dinner with my team. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at Becco in the city at the company's expense. The food was superb however the service wasnt anything to shout about. The restaurant was a good dining experience, white linen table cloths with professional looking waiters. Having said that, it is a tiny restaurant though. Cosy and warm; and it wasnt too packed last night for a Thursday night. What I'd really like to try is the restaurant next door called Gingerboy. It was packed last night!

Not only did me and my team have a wonderful dinner (and too many martinis for me), we also went on to catch Miss Saigon at Her Majesty'sTheatre. At the last minute, a work colleague rang me to say she wasnt able to make it to the show so I was stuck with a spare ticket. What a waste! So I invited Ball Breaker along. No point wasting the ticket. Thank God Ball Breaker was keen to come out all the way into the city on such short notice.

The story of a young Vietnamese hooker who falls in love with an American soldier. The show gave me 2 hours of imagination and belief that these kind of romance love stories only happen in the movies, and on stage. The ending was sad and I'm pretty sure if Princess Model was there, she would be crying. We had some loser sitting infront of us singing along to every tune in the musical and with his composer hand movements, I really felt like knocking him across the back of his head. Who let these people out of the house?

The musical had some rather sharp and witty lines which Ball Breaker and I found amusing. When we heard these lines, they reminded us of certain people we know.....

"Why did I have to come from a country full of rice?" - remind you of anyone??

"Like a movie in my mind"

"You swear like a man, but screw like a boy" - this is my all time favourite line.....might have to use this some day ;-)

After the show, Ball Breaker, BK and myself went to Mai Tai for a quick drink where Princess Model and Swing Sister came to join us. It was ladies night at Mai Tai with happy hour half price drinks till midnight! Looks like this is the place to be on a Thursday night.

I Had A Dream .......

Thanks to Ball Breaker, Swing Sister and Princess Model, I had a dream last night about Bob and FF. Because we were talking about them last night, they both ended up in my dreams. What a nightmare. I dreamt that I bumped into Bob at Piggy's wedding and he totally snubbed me off. I did make an effort to say hello to him but he brushed me off like an annoying mosquito. I then attempted to say hello to FF but sort of got the same response from her. But that wasnt the highlight of my dream. I quite distinctly remember Bob wearing a pink shirt and FF dressed in a blue Grecian style dress (what the??) and she was pregnant!!! This was the shock of the dream! Tiny FF with a belly. Firstly I dont see it as a sign of anything that they happened to appear in my dream. When my friendship with Trash fell apart, she appeared in my dreams all the time. However, this dream could be significant in the sense that maybe FF is pregnant?? Well, if she is, congratulations man! Atleast we know they've been keeping themselves busy in the bedroom. What does pregnancy in a dream mean? Somebody tell me.....

I was somewhat disappointed in my dream that my support team aka Ball Breaker, Princess Model and Swing Sister were nowhere in sight. Where the hell were you guys????

A Quicky At Cookie

After my badminton finals on Sunday, the one that nobody showed up to (bloody TOT and BBs), I rang BBs to meet up with her for a coffee. And yes, I just wanted to have coffee. BBs, of all people was supposed to come with me to show some support in my challenging finals but she decided to dump me for a cock! She told me she had to hang with a male friend who was only down in Melbourne for one day. Hmmmph......! She was at Cookie Bar with Liv, November Cleo, Little Lesbo and the girlfriend Shoe Lover. So off I went to meet them thinking I was gonna be faced with an akward situation with the Little Lesbo there. But when I got there, everyone was already smashed. Nice. There were two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc on the table and God knows how many they've had before I got there. Shoe Lover was her friendly self and I totally ignored the Little Lesbo. November Cleo wouldnt let me order a cup of tea, instead poured me a full glass of wine. And you know me, not one to ever say no to alcohol. After a couple of sips, Little Lesbo tried to talk to me and I was responsive, not wanting to be rude. Then out of the blue she apologised to me for her previous behaviour. That was very nice of her. Not that I really had anything against her. I was more worried of the misunderstanding she had created between me and Shoe Lover. I didnt really care what the Little Lesbo thought. The girlfriend however is such a nice girl and she's a good friend of November Cleo's and I didnt want there to be any misunderstandings. Well, it's all good now. When we left Cookie, I said goodbye to everyone with a kiss on the cheek and when I went up to Little Lesbo to say goodbye, she was too afraid to kiss me. Keeping her distance is a good thing I guess. November Cleo kept asking me if "it's all good?" Babes, ofcourse it's all good. The whole situation never really bothered me in the first place!

November Cleo told me about a guy she met in Hong Kong and that she was meeting him for a dinner date that night. I still havent heard from her, wonder how it went? She also told me she left Lavish on Friday night and didnt get home till 6pm the next day. Where did she go??

After the quick drinks at Cookie, I headed home to shower, change and head back into the city to meet Mr S and Swing Sister for dinner at EC Pot. Then hung out at their place and watched The Grudge 2 on DVD. Scary shit but frustrating story line. Swing Sister spent the whole night under the covers. I have no idea how she even watched the movie. In one scary scene, she grabbed my hand and wouldnt let go. The highlight of the movie was Edison Chan. I didnt even know he was in the movie. Mr S and I spent the whole night trying to figure out who he looked like in Melbourne cos his face was so familiar in the movie. Then we worked it out! He looked like The Hairdresser!!! Oh My God! Now whenever I see The Hairdresser at Lavish, I'm gonna think of Edison!

Shopping Success

I was woken up by Ball Breaker's sms quite early on Saturday morning. Well, actually I couldnt really sleep in. Its the bloody alcohol from the night before. Didnt drink enough to knock me out. Hmmm...... I was wondering why she could be up so early after partying the night before. As it is, I didnt stay at Lavish for too long but I was told the rest of my friends were there till the place closed. Not unusual, just unusual for me to leave early, that's all.

Since I was up early, I decided to make myself a nice breakfast of bacon & eggs. Yummmm....Then SJ called to make sure I was up for our mission shopping to find the white dress. So, off we went to The Dressing Room on Sydney Rd. The best store for dresses at affordable prices. SJ and I were in luck and we both ended up getting our dresses there. Yay! The hunt is over. I even bought a pair of shoes to go with the dress. How good is that?

Went down to the city to check out LV cos SJ was feeling itchy and wanted to buy something luxurious to spoil herself. Saw the handbag that I want - LV Riveting in white leather. Can you believe it's $4700?? Too painful. The bag costs more than a lot of cars on the road. Sigh..... I'm allowed to dream arent I? Princess Model wants this bag too but in the monogram print. I didnt get to see it when I went into LV. I'll get to see it when Princess Model buys it I guess. The other bag I want is the LV Speedy in the linen. At $950, I can say this is a bargain compared to my other bags. The mission is to find it overseas at a cheaper price. SJ showed me the bag she wanted in red/ hot pink - LV Lexington. Too, too bright. Something Ball Breaker would carry I think. So not SJ. Well, we ended our dream at LV and headed to Chanel. SJ just wanted to depress me even more. Bloody hell. When we walked in, to my surprise, 4Eyes was working there. I met him back in my Salt days. He was one of the bar tenders at Salt and I recently found out, he was also FF's ex-boyfriend! Wonder why I never saw FF at Salt back in those days? Anyway, SJ found a bag she fell in love with and at $1458, some of you would agree that's a bargain for a Chanel handbag. But I had to restrain her from handing over the credit card and signing her life away. FFS, she's going overseas in a month and to Europe too. Surely Chanel has got to be cheaper in France, right?

After our day dream shopping through LV and Chanel, we met up with Swing Sister for a quick coffee at Cookie Bar. And no, I didnt have any alcohol, although SJ did. She was trying to drown her sorrows and get over the Chanel bag she so wanted. After coffee we went into Zimmerman at QV. SJ bought a bikini for only $65! Wow...what a bargain. Not wanting to miss out on a bargain, I bought a grecian style dress from Zimmerman too. Cant wait to wear it! Who's having a party next?

Lavish Me Baby

After the brilliant performance of Cirque Du Soleil, Princess Model, Ball Breaker, Swing Sister and myself headed into the city to grab a bite. We ended up at A1 Cafe on Russel St. What a blast from the past. Ball Breaker and I havent stepped foot into this place for atleast 5 years; and it used to be one of our favourite restaurants. Princess Model and I shared some chiffon egg dish and it was scrumptious, just as I remembered it to be! Ball Breaker and I have decided to make a date one of these nights to go back there for dinner. Swing Sister didnt really like the place. Maybe cos it's a bit dingy and dirty. Oh well, the food's cheap though.

After filling our tummies (if we didnt, Princess Model would've killed us), we met up with Mr S and Scarface at The Carlton Hotel. A place once frequented by abbos (not wanting to be racist ok), after the refurbishment, it's become quite a trendy looking bar. The place is decked out with life size stuffed animals which is kinda freaky but trendy at the same time. The crowd was mediocre and the bar is a non-smoking venue. Yucks! The whole time I was there, I didnt even have one cigarette. I couldnt be f**ked walking to the smoking courtyard. It was too crowded anyway.

VB was sms-ing Mr S all night asking him to go to Lavish. After the show and the poorly made Vodka Lemon Lime I ordered at The Carlton Hotel, I was pretty keen to head home straight to bed. Instead, Princess Model was begging Ball Breaker and I to go. What the? She's truly a regular now. In the end, we succumbed to peer pressure and made out way reluctantly to Lavish. BBs had sms-ed me earlier on in the night wanting to know if we were going and I told her we weren't. Damn! I stuck to my plan of staying for an hour and couldnt wait to get out of there.

I later found out VB had been sms-ing Mr S to see if he could get in with us to save him the hassle of having to line up in the queue. Aaahhh, I see. That was the plan all along. And just so people know, Swing Sister, Princess Model and myself had to line up for more than 15 minutes before we got in. And let me tell you, I was not happy! I kept wanting to leave whilst in the line but Princess Model held me back. Nobody saw much of VB when we got in to Lavish. TQ and KC hung out with us for quite a bit but VB was nowhere to be seen. This is his problem. Who am I to criticise him really. I love VB dearly but he's been stepping on a few toes recently and people are not happy. He calls and sms-es when it's convenient for him but when we all meet up at a place together, he doesnt bother to speak to any of us. What is wrong with him?

When we got to Lavish, Goofy was highly, highly intoxicated. I've known this for awhile but Ball Breaker learnt on the night that Goofy and alcohol is a lethal combination. The executive decision is one of two choices; when Goofy hangs out with us, there will be no alcohol for him or he needs to be handcuffed. For some reason instead of turning into a fish (which is the case when people drink), he turns into an octopus. Even November Cleo noticed this and wasnt impressed. Goofy is a nice fella pre-alcohol, great to hang with. But post-alcohol is a different story all together.

Some got lucky on the night, some not so lucky. You know who you are. I'm over Lavish, for the week. Until next weekend.... ;-)

Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai

Left work early on Friday afternoon for an important meeting. Well, this is my story and I'm sticking to it. Met up with Kam and Goofy at Iceberg Bar in Williamstown. When I got there, Kam already had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc waiting for me. Wow, a bottle, not a glass. This is bad, he just knows me too well. Had a few games of pool before Ball Breaker, Princess Model and Swing Sister came to join us. BBs and November Cleo were in the neighbourhood, so they dropped by for a drink too. They brought along Little Lesbo and her girlfriend. The girlfriend was nice and friendly, but Little Lesbo and I didnt exchange words or glances. No loss there really.

It was like a big party and everyone was there on a Friday afternoon. BBs took a sickie from work....naughty, naughty girl. Too much partying from the night before, without me! And for once Ball Breaker managed to sneak out of work early on a Friday. We didnt even have lunch but ended up getting some tapas as a quick snack before rushing back home to get ready. Princess Model was upset she didnt get to eat when she got there. We were all too busy drinking, prefering the liquid diet to anything else really.

Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai was magnificent. We had pretty decent seats apart from the man with the big head sitting in front of us. Thank God the performers were jumping all over the place from the roof of the tent. Siew Yum bought us the tickets more than 6 months ago and she brought along her whole family to the show. What a good girl. Before we went in to the show, Princess Model bought a beer to take in. Beer?? So Aussie? Her excuse was Ball Breaker made her walk 2 miles from the carpark and she was thirsty and needed something to cool her down. Well, she could've gotten a bottle of water instead. The show was truly magical. The acts and performances were good but it's the costumes and the set that made the show so unbelievably good. There were three little Chinese boys performing as Water Meteors and they were the cutest things there. I was very impressed that not one performer made any mistakes or fell over. The show kept me entertained the whole way through. I would recommend this to anyone who hasnt been to a Cirque show in their life. You've got to see it once.

Princess Model introduced me to this for some fun & laughter. I did spend some time coming up with the questions and didnt want to make it too hard or too easy....Try it out and atleast use a name I'll recognise, like your own relevant nicks!

Threesome or Three Way Relationship

Lately I've been chatting to an old friend of mine, Loverboy, through gchat. He's engaged to X, got a girlfriend, L and also a f**k buddy, M. What a greedy bugger. He broke up with L recently and decided to pursue M. What the? Anyway, after endless complaining about what a spoilt brat L is, he's totally done a 360 rotation and is back together with her again. Confusing? I was confused too when he told me. Now to top that all off, he's still seeing M at the same time. So, really he's back to square one. And where does the fiance fit into this picture? Nowhere it seems. When he's well and ready to get married, maybe X will be the one? Initially L and M were ignorant to the fact that their man was sharing his doodle with both of them. But now it seems, it's all out in the open and both women are happy to share the magic wand. Before I forget, I remember Loverboy telling me that the two women are actually friends! Loverboy must have a super magical wand. Why on earth would these two seemingly intelligent women fall for the same guy and agree to share him?

Loverboy, I have to hand it down to you. The only person I'm feeling sorry for is your fiance. Threesomes are fun while it lasts. In this case, it's not really a threesome is it? It's more like a three way relationship. Some people treat it like a lifestyle, others treat it as purely a fantasy. I have my views on this but fear makes me believe I'll tread on a few toes if I cared to elaborate. Love it or hate it, it's something that happens everywhere. I'd prefer a threesome any day to a three way relationship. Atleast the act of a threesome can be terminated easily, but a three way relationship, who knows how long it can go on for?

Last Minute Dinner Party

Mr S & Swing Sister came over for dinner on Monday night. It was nice of them to drop off the car. I was meant to go into the city to meet them but since they decided to come by, I invited them over for dinner. When Swing Sister arrived, she went straight to the fridge and poured herself a glass of Choya. Must've been a stressful day at work. Beers were cracked open too. I thought Mr S didnt drink beer..... I on the other hand, was having an alcohol free day. No wine, no beer, no choya.

Princess Model rings up and decides to pop over to pick up a very important document. She came a little after we finished dinner but decided she was hungry again after stuffing herself with a piece of steak at home. So, she helped herself to the leftovers. She certainly wasnt shy! So now, you've tasted my cooking. Stop whining about me never inviting you over for dinner ok :-) We sat around chatting and I couldnt concentrate on Desperate Housewives. I kept telling them to keep it down so I could watch tv but Princess Model was a little confused that people still watch tv these days. She thought everyone these days would buy box set DVDs and watch them at their leisure. Yes, alot of people do that and I really dont know why I havent bought the Desperate Housewives box set yet. Hmmm...... I must look into this. Because Desperate Housewives was on one channel and Supernatural was on another, I decided to tape Supernatural. Again Princess Model was dumbfounded. "Do people still tape tv shows with a VCR?" she asked. Well, I'm sorry I havent upgraded to a DVD recorder yet. A bit behind in time huh? I do have a DVD player though. Is that not good enough? Dont people use VCRs anymore? I think I'll just go buy the box sets for Desperate Housewives and Supernatural. There, problem solved!

The Writer Does Not Bowl

Siew Yum had her 30th birthday celebrations last Saturday at Kingpin Bowling in Melbourne Central. I thought it was a fabulous idea. Something different even though I DONT BOWL. Nothing against it, just not particularly fond of poking my fingers into such a heavy ball (I'd rather poke smaller and lighter balls) and sticking my feet into second hand shoes. But if I had my own gear, I bet I'd be really good at it! The party started around 5pm, which really means the drinking started at 5pm. Since most that were there were part of the bowling team, Princess Model, HYC, Kam and myself had nothing better to do but drink ourselves silly. Really, only Princess Model and I were doing all the drinking. HYC refused to drink the whiskey water I ordered for him. Hmmm......weak! Attempted to play some pool, but got bored of that pretty quickly. Drinking was more fun, especially when it was a free flow.

Cuties

So many baalls......

Drink....!

More drinks....

There's a special designated smoking room at Kingpin/ Barcode. The seats were lined up on both sides of the wall with a floor length window looking out on to some building. Some one asked "Is that an apartment block?" and Princess Model (being the smarty pants) said "It's either yes or no". No shit..... I dont know if she was trying to be smart, funny or just dumb ;-) Anyway, back to my smoking room, when I stepped in, the stench of stale cigarettes was so strong, I wanted to puke. And the way the room was designed, I felt like I was in a poorly ventilated smoking room in KLIA. It looked and felt exactly the same!

Siew Yum was out of it pretty early. She was by no means knocked out but she was very thrashed. I believe she had no recollection of the events of the day leading up to dinner. Some of us made our way to Sung's Kitchen by foot, some decided to drive. I was pretty tipsy too but the walk helped me gain back my sobriety. We didnt order any of the restaurant's signature dishes but the food was still pretty good. Will definitely have to go back there again. The desserts were rather special. Fancy ordering toffee apple in a Chinese restaurant? And it tasted pretty good too.

After dinner we headed to Blvd even though Siew Yum was pretty thrashed by this stage. She wasnt the only one smashed. I heard VVB didnt even make it to Blvd, he fell asleep in the car! Princess Model, Swing Sister, Ball Breaker, Groupie Lover and myself got there pretty late and Cutey wasnt impressed. Oh well, she still got us in though. Ball Breaker, Swing Sister and November Cleo left after less than an hour. November Cleo isnt herself these days. After her long business trip to Hong Kong, something's gone wrong. Firstly, she doesnt drink Chivas anymore, but instead prefers Vodka. Hello.... you started me on the damn Chivas & water, now u'r trading that in for what I used to drink? Strange..... And the second big thing is, she was actually keen to leave Blvd early. Now, this is definitely very strange. The November Cleo I knew, would party until the sun comes up. Maybe this is a good change. Age must be catching up.

Princess Model and I partied on with Cute J and the Twins. Come to think of it, we didnt really hang out with Siew Yum when we got to Blvd. She was stuck at her table upstairs and we pretty much hung out downstairs where Kam was playing all night. I was pretty exhausted by the end of it. Not smashed, just tired. Got a chance to speak to the Twins and realised they're actually quite nice girls. Also realised they were like nearly a decade younger than me! Bloody hell. Is anyone older than me?

Asian Heartthrobs

Princess Model told me to look up the website for The Amazing Race Asia the other day. So this morning, I decided to do just that. The show didnt interest me that much but the host of the show did. He's not bad looking, quite cute in some photos actually. Some Singaporean guy called Allan Wu. Never seen or heard of him before, but he's quite pleasant to the eyes. So I googled him and was brought to this site http://asianheartthrob.blogspot.com . Oh My God! So many hunks, not. Well, to be fair, some of them are quite hot. And this site is categorised by the hunk's country of origin. Phillipines sure has a lot of good looking boys. Unfortunately, Malaysia only has one representative, Alex Yoong. What the? He's considered an Asian heart throb? He was my junior in high school and he was a little puny thing back then. Cant believe he's grown up to be an Asian heart throb. Good on ya Alex. He's come a long way from being a water skiing champion to F1 driver to being the face of Tag Heuer in Malaysia.

I know Princess Model doesnt like Asian boys but there are some wrinkly looking half casts on this site that may be of interest. Feast your eyes. But let me warn you, some of the boys look half starved and need to be fed; so skinny and no muscle definition. They really look like boys and not men.

BKK, this one's for you :-)

Well, that's my 15 minutes well spent on the Internet. Back to work now.

Is Trouble My Middle Name?

Discovered that I've been the cause of some drama in the lesbian community of late. The little thing that tried to pash me couple of weeks ago must have been spreading rumours that I tried to pash her instead. Upon hearing this, the girlfriend wasnt too impressed. To be honest, I wouldnt be either. But let me get this straight, I did not even kiss her, let alone try to pash her. What kind of drugs do people think I'm on? I wouldnt do it even if you paid me. Eeewwww.....like I said, she's not someone I'd give a second look (no offence to the girlfriend here). The girlfriend now thinks I'm the devil (well, I am but not in this case) who pashed the tiny lesbo. In my opinion, the girlfriend deserves better cos I know for a fact that I'm not the only girl she's tried to pash. She's sleazier than any man I've met (and I have met quite a few sleazy men..... ).

In another unrelated incident, Shorty and Groupie Lover nearly had a punch on the other day. Well, my fault really. Groupie Lover put down a $50 bet to say I would never pash Shorty; and Shorty disagreed and put down $50 thinking that I would pash her. Hello, do I look like a hooker of some sort?? How the hell did these two come up with this shit? Ofcourse I didnt pash anybody and Groupie Lover took Shorty's $50. In the end, Shorty got upset at me for not letting her claim Groupie Lover's $50. Holy cow! Sorry babes, I love you, err.....but not that much ok. And amongst friends, it was all in good humour, wasnt it?

Ball Breaker and I have come to the conclusion that I'm a trouble maker. However in my defence, I think trouble comes looking for me. Ball Breaker on the other hand likes to go looking for trouble. So that makes me a trouble magnet instead?

Laughter Is Good For The Soul....

For my dear friend Princess Model, who's a fundamentally crazy blog stalker, here's something for you to read tonight! kekekek :-)

Q: What is the similarity between men and rats?
A: Both keep searching for new holes.

Q: What is the closest thing similar to a woman's period?
A: Your salary, it comes once a month lasts about 5- days and if it doesn't come, it means you are in big trouble.

Q: What's the difference between biology and sociology?
A: When the baby looks like his dad or mom, then it is biology.When the baby looks like the neighbor, then it is sociology.

Q: What's the height of recycling?
A: Sending a sanitary napkin for dry cleaning.

Q: Doctor: You look so weak & exhausted. Are you having 3 meals a day as I have advised?
A: Lady: Doctor, I thought you said 3 males a day.

Q: Girl friend & boy friend go for a movie. In the dark, a mosquito enters the girl's skirt. Guess where it would have bitten?!!!!!!!!!!!!
A: The boy friend's hand.

Q: Tarzan and the animals went to the river to take a bath. Tarzan removed his clothes. All the animals laughed. Tarzan asked "Why"?
A: The animals told him. Your tail is in front".


Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

And sorry to disappoint but you can pretty much gather that I've just cut and pasted this from somewhere. I dont have the time to blog today....until next time....hope you had a good laugh :-)
