A Quick One

Just a quick blog. It was such an eventful night. We had dinner with the Singaporeans just off Oxford street at a place called Thai Square. Food wasn't anywhere close to the real deal but it was satisfying enough for London. After dinner we walked down to Strawberry Moon, where i completely blew my spending limit for today. Seriously, i would love to live in London if i weren't for two things: the weather and the costs.

Anyways.. The music was excellent.. it was retro night and they even put on a couple of Mambo tunes. There were quite a few hot guys there but the guys were, in general, a little dodgy. Ya. So everyone except Marvin and I got piss-drunk. Hero & June were being really crap and left early. Koonz was dancing like a jack russel on prozac (i seriously wonder what that boy is on). Steph tried to pick a fight with some girl. And Twan was yelling at his girlfriend over the phone. Then as Marvin & I were trying to get 4 dunk people home, I picked a fight with a cab driver which i think was completely justified because the asshole fucking reversed into me while i was trying to hail a cab on the side of the road. And he wasn't even a real cab driver, he was one of those unlicensed cabbies with regular cars just trying to make extra money. What a dick.

I hate all cab drivers. They belong to the lowest level of hell.

A place on earth

Listening to I Want You by Savage Garden





I haven't been taking photos. The weather is miserable again. Wouldn't be surprised if it snowed today. We watched Becoming Jane and 300. Both of which were good for completely different reasons. Becoming Jane was sooooooo sweet. Seriously, it was so sweet that it would make any single person wanna kill themself. It was fucking upsetting too. Got me all depressed.. i came close to crying at atleast 3 different parts of the movie.


300 was just awesome plainly because of the cinematography and graphics. It was excellent but a little weird when the Persians started bringing out their creatures and shit. I know it's historically innacurate for one.. but if it originated from comics then i guess it's ok. But still.. how can i not like a show about superb Greek warriors who's war cry is my nickname? hehe


We went to an excellent club called Panjea the other day. It's one of the super A-list clubs in London.. the kind where u can only get in if ur on the guest list or if u intend to spend a minimum of 500 pounds for one night. Yan got us on the list which was really cool. It was quite a good night.. he crowd was a little bit older .. like 20s and 30s but the music was excellent.


Anyhoo.. tonight's gonna be another big night of clubbing. Since it's friday night and the start of the Easter Break. And we're going around Europe in 2 days!

STOMP

Listening to Stars in Your Eyes by Just Jack

The Modo Fashion Show

First picture is Johnny (as mentioned earlier), who is just such a pretty boy. He's so pretty that he could be a mannequin, but at least he's nice. Would be really sad if he was a jack-ass. Picture 2 & 4 are of the jumper that i wanna buy, designed by 'Self' in picture 3 who I am in love with. He's got amazing dress sense which is even sexier than anything else.. and i'm probably gonna see him again if i decide to get the jumper during which i'll probably orgasm.

Stomp

Stomp was fucking excellent. It was the best ever. It's not quite a musical but they did incorporate a lof of humour. It was just excellent.. i'd recommend it to anyone and everything. Fucking A.

Oxford Street, Shopping and Eating

Pic 1 is the HUGE apple store which rocked my socks completely. And pic 2 was taken on the way to lunch with Yan yesterday. He said he'd buy me lunch and we ended up having lunch at a French restaurant called La Noisette which is only one of the Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Oh my god. I nearly died. I mean we were supposed to have a causual lunch and we ended up fine dining. And i won't spill but the bill was huge.

Went to two parties last night as well, it was Trever's birthday first at this club near Covent Garden and then to Lauryn's birthday just down the road. The clubs were OK, first one had way better music but it was quite a good day. I'm finally going to watch 300 today. So excite.

Winter in Sping

Listening to Sunday Morning by Maroon 5

It's cold as fuck here. Yan and I are going out for lunch today since Steph is in uni. We're going to meet the famous Trever.. Yan talks about him all the time. He says he's the funniest guy in the world and apparently he's really hot. But anyways. It's so fricken cold that we've just been wearing out jackets inside the house while we're waiting to go out. I knew i was right to say that it has been unnaturally cold because it snowed yesterday.

I swear the world is coming to an end. I mean it's fucking snowing in the middle of Spring. Spring's supposed to be when the sun comes out and the flowers start blooming and the trees become green again. But no, the trees still look like skeletons and i haven't seen no blooming flowers. Aside from those in Green Park but it's probably because Prince Charles takes walks in that park so they probably imported flowers from like Malaysia or something to plant there.

Anyhoo.. we went to Hamleys yesterday, which is only like the biggest toy shop in London. The weird thing is that now that i think of it, i haven't seen a single Toys 'R us here. But Hamley's was cool.. I saw Harry Potter wands.. Voldermort's wand was quite cool but they were going at like 30 quid so sorry Jules. And we went to the fucking huge Apple store. Which was like my dream come true. It was awesome. It's like practically a whole building. And i bought a top and matching bracelet at 2.50 pounds. Damn cheap right. I'm glad i haven't lost my singaporean-ness. hehe

Sorry about no pictures today. Lazy to upload. It's getting too cold to even take out my camera now.

St. Patrick's Day

Listening to Mr. Vain by Culture Beat

It was St. Patrick's day yesterday! And for some reason I kept thinking of Ground Hog Day. Anyways, had lunch with my siblings and my dad in Chinatown which was OK, and then we went to Green Park for a walk after which was fuckin pretty (as shown in the first photo & second photos) .. lots of squirrels and fucking pigeons tt pretend to be ducks. It was cute as hell cause the sun was out and there were all these couples having picnics in the park. So cute that i wanted to stab myself in the eye.

And there really isn't any reason why the non-irish should be celebrating St. Patrick's day, but everyone was out anyway. All these girls in tiny skirts and green Guiness hats getting drunk at 2pm in the afternoon. I saw a bunch of drunk 12-year-olds which was kinda strange.

At night we went to the Mondo Fashion Show, I went with Tanya cause Steph was busy doing make-up. It was really very good, some of the outfits were outrageous but really cool in a way and the models were all so fantastic. I mean they have legs like twigs but they can actually do the whole catwalk in 5 inch heels without falling over. And aside from this one model who's boob popped out of her top, they were all really professional.

And i fell in love with someone. Hahah.. Steph and I call him 'Self' because his real name is really boring. He's actually one of the fashion designers but he modelled an outfit from his own collection which was really cool. I'm thinking of buying one of the hoodies from his collection, it was really nice. Anyways Steph knows him since she did his make-up and he said he'll actually sell me the hoody! How cool, we were talking to him at the after-party and seriously he is so much sexier close-up. haha

And the host of the fashion show was really quite hot too. U know those teen movies and they always have the typical pretty boy that is just so perfect that he could be a mannequin? Yeah he's one of those guys, blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Although he's actually a really nice guy so that's a change. Anyhoo.. it was altogether a great night. The after-party was cool cause all the models and designers were there but the music was quite shit. And after looking at all the models u just feel like ur legs are too fat or ur face is just really ugly. haha .. but i spent most of the night people-watching. Not to mention that I'm totally in love with Self and i couldn't stop staring at him all night. haha

We're going to watch Stomp today which is fucking exciting!

Camden

Listening to She's My Man by Scissor Sisters

I made friends with real hippies today! haha .. steph's in uni all day and i got up late so i figured there wasn't enough time to do proper sight-seeing today so i went back to Camden Town to do some shopping. And when i was walking back i came across these guys just singing on the street about peace and love and shit and they weren't busking or anything. Not trying to collect money, just singing and getting people to dance on the street with them. It was real cool. I talked to a couple of them and they're all really nice. THey were all just high and smoking weed and singing and it was kinda crazy but it was really fun.

Anyhoo.. been sightseeing a lot. Went to the Tate modern art museum yesterday which was pretty slick. some of the art there is weird as hell but a lot of it was really cool. Like this piece of art on the floor, it's just tiles put together to look cool and the point of it is really just to make u feel uncomfortable cause ur walking on someone's art. Fucking weird eh? Then there's glass cases with urinals in them and one with a can of shit. As in literally a can of shit. It's like.. preserved shit or something. It's fucking strange. Then they had this huge installation piece which was basically metal tube slides ranging anywhere from one storey to FIVE stories high. I took the level 3 and level 5 ones. Pretty scary shit. U just sit on this like canvas cloth and u go down the slide. And the one main thing i learnt from the gallery is that art is always about sex. In some way. Everything's sexual. I can't wait to go to the Saatchi gallery, i wanna see that huge tank with a great white shark suspended in it.

Had lunch with Steph along the river which was nice but it was pretty cold. Then we went to James' (Steph's ex roomate) house party last night. Which was alright, everyone was friendly as hell and pretty drunk. We put on some Mambo music which was kick-ass. And i met one of Steph's friends who's really into goth parties and shit and she told me i should go to this party tonight. Haven't decided if i should but it sounds kinda cool as an experience. I mean these are proper clubs just packed with like real skinheads and punks and shit. It sounds wicked. And next week steph and I may be going to a Roller Disco place which I think sounds really cool.

Anyways, here are some things I learnt after a week in London:

1. You always hover over the toilet bowl before you sit on in. Otherwise your ass might just freeze and stick to it.
2. You can spend up to SG$60 on one cab ride.
3. Lunch costs me anywhere from SG20-30 just for a decent meal.
4. Fast food costs SG$15 on average for a meal.
5. You dread leaving the house because it's so fucking cold outside.
6. Most of the time you can get on the bus without paying.
7. Bus drivers make the most entertaining DJs.
8. People try to talk to you as u walk by them on the street.
9. No one talks, everyone shouts.
10. Weed sells in packets in shop windows.

P/S: I'm fucking pissed cause there aren't any good movies showing here. They haven't even released 300 here. Which means that by the time i get back to SG all the shows i wanna watch probably won't be showing there anymore. Which means I'm going to just kill myself right now.

Cornwall

Listening to My Love by Justin Timberlake

It's 10am and i just spent the past two hours cleaning my sister's kitchen. It was gross. Seriously, jules would cry if she saw it. Don't think she'd even dare to walk in. Haha .. but now that it's clean, Yan (her roomate) and I have a deal, that he'll clean up his mess for as long as i'm here. Lets hope it lasts.

Anyways, i just spent the weekend in Cornwall with my brother and sister, took a 2 day road trip down south. It was really gorgeous. A lot of scenery that looks exactly like the Windows XP wallpaper. Sheep and cows and shit. We stayed overnight at this farm which was really cool and we spent most of our two days visiting small towns and beaches. We climbed this cliff which was just amazing. It was seriously gorgeous. The view was like fucking insane.

And we went took a 15 minute hike up this hill to Tintagle castle, which was where King Arthur was born. How fucking cool eh? It was mostly ruins but again, the view was fantastic. And then we went to this village that's supposed to be the most well-preserved village in the world. Looks like the hobit village from Lord of the Rings. Really, the doors are incredibly short and everything looks like time stopped since the 1920s. Even cars aren't allowed in, their main mode of transport is by using donkeys. THen we went to Lands End as well, which is basically the end of england, the southernmost point. Went there to watch the sunset but it was like fucking freezing. The winds were insane. I spent most of my time there hiding behind this landrover to get away from the wind.

On the way back to London we drove through a nature reserve which was awesome. Again more scenes that looked right out of lord of the rings. hehe .. And we hit a rabbit. Fuck man, it was traumatizing, like ur first roadkill. It went under both our front and back left tires and i looked out the back window and saw it like flipping on the road. Fuck. Seriously freaky. I feel so fucking bad.

Anyhoo.. there's a hellotta more pictures but i haven't got the time to post them all up so that'll have to wait till i get back. I'm rushing out soon too anyways. See u guys! I miss u all!

Charbs & Co

Listening to Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order

If someone asked me to describe Charbee & Co. I wouldn't know what to say. Our greatness can't be described in a meagre sentence. I mean, u could probably write a novel or do a movie on Charbs and Co. and i bet u it'll sell fuckin well. But okay, I'm gonna give it a shot.

In general, we laugh too loud and we always crack jokes about the people around us. We think we're the hottest people in the world. We're Mass Comm graduates but we speak bad english on purpose. We're multi-racial but we make racist jokes at each other. We joke about tits and balls. And we're probably the only people in the world who can make a career out of making ourselves look ugly.

How bored am i? Anyhoo, my infrared filter arrived! OMG I'M HAPPY HAPPY. And it arrived just on time, like 2 days before i leave. This totally roxxx. And my mum's flying off tmrw morning, i just realised that that means that I won't be seeing her for a whole month. And surprisingly i felt sad, i mean if she went away for a month i'd be totally fine but now it's me going away for a month and suddenly im feeling sad about it. wtf right?

Ohwells.. THURSDAY we're having dinner at Holland V since Joo, Anne & I are getting out tattoos there. Meet at say 6 or 7? We're gonna eat at Crystal Jade because i want some good 'ol chinese food before i go. And if any of u feel like sending me to the airport, u can hang out at my place after dinner and share cab there with me (im paying for the cab anyway & max 4 ppl). I'm leaving for the airport around 4 and i'll have to go in around 6 so. Jules doesn't mind going if anyone else comes. Let me know yo. haha

Dance Dance

Listening to This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race by Fall Out Boy



I was just going through my old photos and I came across this one and i realised what a great foursome we were. HAHA .. the original members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Anyhoo, dinner last night was okay, as we were walking from Shaw to Wheelock, Chris commented how weird we must look like as a group. There's Andrew, the pan-asian, Daphne who's just super short and a semi-celebrity, Chris who's atleast 10-15 years older than us and me who's got more metal on my face than the average person. And i realised how true it was.

But we had a good time, spent almost the entire night talking about movies, and all the while all i could think of was that Jules would probably be a lot more comfortable in this conversation that me. And i also realised how little i know about movies.

Mm.. I've starting to sink into complete boredom these few days. I can't believe how much time there is on the weekend. When we were in school the weekend used to pass waay too fast, now it just drags on and all i really think is how everyone's outside and having a good time and how i'm at home rotting. And it's not like i can't go out, i could if i wanted but i don't really want to. It's too much effort. hahaha .. i feel sad.

I'm putting off packing, cause i know if i pack now i'll just spend the next 5 days BOUNCING around in excitement about the trip. Does anyone wanna send me to the airport? My flight's at 6.45 am on Friday morning and it seems that no one's driving me to the airport since both my parents are out of town. I feel so loved. haha

Uuuuuuh.

Listening to Brand New Colony by Postal Service

GUYS I JUST DISCOVERED I'M GOING ON FRIDAY INSTEAD OF THURSDAY! So we can either go to the Zoo on TUESDAY (without Priya and a forecast of 'Cloudy') or on THURSDAY (with Priya and scattered thunderstorms). What say you all?

I suggest we go to the zoo on tuesday without Priya, then we go have dinner or something on thursday with priya before i leave on friday. Sound good?

And also we're meeting on MONDAY at my place to watch some apparently really obscene R21 movie at 2pm yes?

Pls msg/tag me if ur coming for either one and if ur free/not free.

Charbs & Co. is so glam okay. We're practically seeing each other everyday. And we meet online to discuss what to do for up to 3 hours. HAHAHA.. guess being unemployed does that to you.

Tubthumping

Listening to Baby Give It Up by KC & The Sunshine Band



Whoa.. are we hot sex or what? Mambo roxxed last night. and i'm too lazy to type anymore so if i go on it will be similar to the incomprehensible garble i've already written. So...
