Today instead of doing the household chores, I walked over to my neighbour's house, sat on the rattan sofa under the pavilion and once on the antique metal swing and chatted with her for hours on end. All these while the gentle breeze blew and bugs landing on us every now and then.
I'm sooooooo happy that kh's buddy who stays just a few houses away is marrying his gf in a few months time and am even happier that she's moving in with his family after marriage.
We are both really really really excited at the prospect of having each other within walking distance.
Having a bimbotic fren who gets along so well with me in this ulu estate is like having kh to stop playing WOW (World of Warcraft) for a day or two.
We had sooooo much to chat about. Wedding stuff, girly stuff, bimbotic stuff, gossip stuff... It's neverending! I can forsee ourselves hanging out together more often in future. In fact, both of us and our other halves are quite enthusiastic about our impending honeymoon trip together.
It doesn't matter how long or short one knows another or how many times you've met. As long as there is mutual understanding and trust, people can easily become fast and firm friends.
I still remember my very fond first impression of her when kh's buddy introduced us about 3 years ago. And only today did I find out her first impression of me. Dunno whether to strangle her or to thank her. Hahaha... I'll treat it as a compliment.
;P
Haha... and now I know she reads my blog, I must compliment her more often. Haha... For the record, the "bimbotic fren" quote up there is a compliment ok?
=)

Pretty Pinky Lappy
I got my lazy ass down to saving my stuff from this old compaq to an external HD, set up the pretty pink laptop I bought during the last IT fair but try as I might, I can't connect to the internet.
It's back to this old laggy one again but at least now I feel safer that my folders have all been backed up.

Halloween 2009 -- East VS West
I know it is a little late to post Halloween pictures here when all the hullabaloo and strings of hilarious remarks have already gone stale on Facebook but...
On my blog, everything is always late right?
;P
Halloween 2009 was a blast coz it was the 1st time ever that my hubby participated and willingly let me do his make up.
It was also great fun to have his friends and my friends partying together. I reckon that after the wedding, we all sorta knew one another better and got along quite well.
My bro-in-law went to rent costumes for kh and himself w/o even telling kh what he was getting for him. It was almost like a make-do-with-whatever-I-get-you-I-dun-give-an-eff gesture.
His friends were so ONZ that a bunch of them went to rent costumes with similar theme. After kh and I knew what they were dressing up as, we mentally declared Halloween 2009 theme as:
East vs West
~
"We'll go to your family house ok? Coz your parents are so used to us and we dun wanna scare your parents-in-law by going to your current house." -- you know who you are
It seems like a tradition to gather at my place to make up and dress up before heading to paint the town red.
This year, there were addition of members and my little room almost became a sardine can.
Kh was the first to be transformed to... gee we dunno what he was. DEATH?
We were all rather confuse this year.
The only person sure of her character was gera who came dressed as fallen cupid.
I think evan was a deranged life sized puppet who was raped and killed.
Tif was a Chinese ghost.
JQ was... well... kinda confused.
Fabio was a Westerner trying to be an Easterner with ethinic motif on one eye and jester patch on the other eye. In short, confused.
As for me, I am Goth __________. I dunno what to fill in the blank with. Goth Jo?
Zanne arrived much later and I think she was Goth whatever too.
Ooh... we're almost ready.
My da jie likes to take parting shots of us every year.
Those on my Facebook friend list can view the shaky video taken by my er jie on her hp here:

No, we didn't scare the taxi uncle. It was quite exciting looking into other cabs and seeing ghosts and ghouls in them as well.
Kh's frenz were all there at Zouk waiting to tekan him.
They dubbed themselves Tang Dynasty but of coz, after everything, we realised that pigtails are quite modern and should be Qing Dynasty instead... I think.
They looked like jiang shi but they kept insisting they were "Tang Dynasty". -_- |||
The jiang shi-s were hot property coz so many clubbers kept dragging the whole lot of them to snap pictures. That's what would happen when you dress as a theme. Poor Eug (the very very nice and sweet wife-to-be of one of kh's buddies) was always left out when the jiang shi-s were dragged away.
The West got sick of being West and so started going East by wearing part of the Eastern costume. Actually it was more of the Eastern ghosts being sick of their costumes and dumping their sweaty caps on our heads.
When kh went off to the loo, he had to go without his cape coz DUH... he didn't want to soak up all the puke and what-nots in the loo by dragging his cape across the filthy floor. This leaves me with a chance to assume a different identity.
Snow White's stepmum incognito
Ghost and ghouls do get hungry... so off we went to eat bak kut teh.
There were some unpleasant happenings at the bak kut teh stall but fortunately the ghostly entourage managed to "fight back".
Edited to add:
The people there practise price discrimination. Fancy charging 12 of us $170+ for normal bak kut teh with drinks. They thought we were drunk and they could carrot chop us. For those who frequent the nearest bak kut teh stall near Zouk, please take note when paying the bill. Ask them for the break down of prices if you think that the final sum they quote you is too much.
That was what the guys did. The guys counted out aloud the break down from the soup, to the rice to the extra dishes and finally at the drinks, they sacarstically exclaimed that our drinks cost $100++. The stallholders were dumbfounded.
~
Sweet Eug lent me a beautiful mask which she got from Europe and I almost swayed from my goth idea to dress in masquerade theme.
Ghosts retiring when dawn broke.
Time to get a good eye shut.
Kh and I slept from sunrise till sunset. That was the 1st time I slept the whole day away.
Glad that everyone enjoyed themselves. As what everyone had said after the party over sms...
"We should do this more often!"
