All the single gentlemen...

Recently, while out to have drinks with my friend, Violet. I turned away all the “Happy Valentine’s” dinner set menu laid on the table. 

“Think I am spending it alone as all my close friends are coupled up,” I explained. 

I expected her to nod, sympathetically and shunt those lovely cupids to the furthest corner of our table. Instead? She proposed to hook me up.

Violet, the founder of Lunch Actually, the largest dating agency in Asia offered all single men out there in KL to have a date with me! 

Right then, in that moment, with the scent of roses in the air, my dear friend has solved my holiday’s plan.

Happy Birthday, dad!

He lived more than 60 years to watch us grow up and here he is celebrating another year wiser.

Well, the video says it all…people says a picture paints a thousand words, then I suppose a video paints it all.

One big family. Missing: Stencer Leong in Hong Kong.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who plan their costumes for weeks and those who panic and wear a lampshade at the last minute.

Obviously, I am the last minute kind. Like the Martha Stewart of Halloween, make a last-minute costume out of stuff I already have.

What I need: red, green, yellow, white, orange, and blue articles of clothing.
Who I am: Rubik’s Cube.

What I need: regular clothes, badge.
Who I am: undercover cop.

What I need: all-white outfit with white cloth over it and red “No entry” sign.
Who I am: Casper, the friendly neighbor ghost.

What I need: Jeff’s black king sized bed sheet.
Who I am: Dementor, Harry Potter.

After much struggling with my wardrobe, I manage to pull out a Hello Kitty look matching my partner in crime, Renee who is going as cross dressed Mickey Mouse. It’s a cat-and-mouse thing.

Arriving at the 3rd floor of Prince Hotel, two elegantly dressed woman gave us a weird stare. Then, we saw the ballroom were a sit down formal dinner. WTH?! *PANIC*

Thinking this would be a prank of the year yet!

Luckily, it wasn’t a prank. The room for the party is further down. Phew~!

Birthday boy! IMG_2969Such a sweet birthday surprise, his brother and sister from abroad dressed up as Wolverine and Sylar and made a video for him.

And everyone thought I am Minnie Mouse instead. Oh well, better than lampshade huh?

Best dress: Yellow Inflatable!IMG_2979

Happy birthday Eddy!!!

Sweet 27th for Daniel

IMG_0823I’ve been thinking all day…something I have to do but I just can’t figure out what. After a very long day out and about, I got home at about 11ish. As usual, I talk to Renee to conclude my day and she finally cracked the ‘soalan cebu emas’! It is Daniel’s birthday.

Well, trying to be the last one to wish him on his birthday before the clock strikes 12am to 24th Dec 2008.

The next day, I spend my Christmas Eve dinner to make up for my forgetfulness @ LaFite, Shang.

IMG_0820 We were speculating that our table is the only one without alcohol. I need to detox!

IMG_0819-horz But my detox plan failed when they serve dessert. Nostalgia, cotton candy on a tree? SWEET! And my first time trying on chilli chocolate, new discovery for a chocoholic.

IMG_0831 We were the last to leave the restaurant as he was busy decorating the candles. Happy belated birthday!

His birthday wishes?

Vow Luxuriously and Forever

IMG_0073Fashion event of the year at the stroke of midnight? I was wondering in my mind what event is this. It is the wedding of Valiram Group’s youngest, Mukesh Valiram weds Roshan Budhrani.

The wedding was held for 5 days in 5 different hotels, luxuriously. I’m honored to attend such spectacular wedding for 2 nights – Devil Wears Prada @ Ritz and Shanghai Knights @ Shook.

Devil Wears Prada

We arrived at the registration, given a role to play before we get into the hall. I gotta sing Madonna “Like A Virgin” together with Em. Arriving at the entrance, a signage says “Audition”. Huh??? Another clueless girl just doing whatever the people say, go with the flow. Pretty fun though. Serena chopped Em with “Sexy Siren” because she really pulled it off. I was busy capturing the classic moment (video can be found in my Facebook – Video). The emcee started it only at 2am, by that time I was already worn out and yawning away. The introduction was showing the couple LIVE from the hotel room as the gimmick, reality show like where the couple were too tired after a whole long day. I heard the fashion was at 3am and the guest left at about 4.30am. First time ever I attended a wedding that last all night long, although I left soon after they showed the video but still…cool~!

Shanghai KnightsIMG_0158

Guest arrives about 9pm but it started about 10.30pm. A lot of them were relatives all the way from Bombay, India.

Running for the event of the year? No doubt, this wedding is a landslide victory.

4Play: Dance to the Phuture

A rainy night, but people are still lining up just to get into Zouk. The queue for guest list was ridiculously long until the entrance on the main road. Those with invites just went on swiftly.

Joining the queue in the rain. Luckily Edric found an umbrella on the floor. IMG_0229Mainroom: ZoukIMG_0237Phuture – pronouns as future, not ‘pucu’IMG_0271

A pretty interesting night for the long awaited new, revamped Zouk. Now I can have all different music within one night, one place. As a RnB die hard fan, my loyalty belongs to [4Play] by DJ Goldfish on Thursdays.

The downside: space is very limited and the ceiling is too low for most of the area except dance floor. Feels claustrophobic at times.

M-Circle Club Launch

The new club, tucked inside Starhill, KL downtown, is meant to feel like a luxe high up hangout. Mood lighting, velvet sofas, and mirrors dance floor decorate the posh place along with art lighting installations and seven dragons all around it.

An on-site bartender ensure top-class cocktails. Bottle service is available at the tables and includes the house signature: hot baby hot and cold baby cold tequilas. Still hungry? Small bites courtesy of chic eatery Lecka Lecka Restaurant downstairs are also served until late.

As for that circular motif, it’s elegant yet understated, from the club’s architecture around the entrance of Starhill facing Pavilion on 2nd (Explore) floor design, (perfect for runways) to velvety half rounded sofas. Both ends of the quarter round circle are private areas designed for private parties.

 

The entrance

To keep the bridge-and-tunnel crowd at bay, classy dress is expected, and there’s an exclusive door for entry.

DSC02706The bars: Five different bars – Whisky (single malt), Tequila, Sake, Wine + Champagne and Vodka (Grey Goose). DSC02707The lounge area for chilling with softer music to ease talking.

I've to say it...BRAVO~! This guy can sing both man's and woman's voice simultaneously!

Token of appreciation to all the designers and artistes for putting up such a great show!
At the end of the concert, we got some pictures at the red carpet area too. KT, he is 6' 2" feet tall. And I ain't standing beside him =p

Renee (MACIP 2008 Finalist aka. partner in crime) + Yan (one of the Top50 in MACIP 2008)
I missed the Nuyou AfterParty @ BBQ Bar by DJ Xu Tag. Sorry Xu, I know I promised to be there.

Next destination was RED @ Damansara Heights. I had a great time chilling and laughing with Joyce and Renee.
Then, later...we found out that David is coming from Mion, the lady boss. After much debate, they guys concluded that David look like Daniel W. Well, you judge by yourself. =D

Mum is the Word!

I have a puzzle: On a holiday invented by cheesy greeting card and flower companies, it’s strangely unacceptable to buy the celebrated party (Mum) a cheesy greeting card and flowers.

Why? Because she said so. Mum told me, “You better shop around~! Watya waiting for?”

This year, Chloe and I will buy mum a comfort chair. It’s neither Osim nor Ogawa, just a chair from Ikea. She has been complaining on the sofa’s depth is too deep; left the leg hanging out half way. Eventually, it causes her back pain and calf discomfort. Nevertheless, Mum’s first priority is a kitchen revamp with more table top equipped induction cooker. Neither of us can afford this.
So, we’ll leave it to Dad to deal with it.

My Mum? She’s one cool yet talkative mum. She knows a lot of things as she watches TV all the time. She’d update me the news or something new she learned everyday when I get home. She knows the right thing to do whenever I am down, she’d cook something nice and smells so good with the intention to distract me from my sorrow and drown into her delicacies. Most of the time, I will clear up the plate before she could even lay her hand on it. She has total trust in me in the way I do things; hardly questions me on the decisions I made. I’d always turn to her when I need to get something easy yet I’m clueless on it, she knows all the details of small little things that I normally never take note on.


The two people I could never live without.
