Phuket - Day 1

May 29, 2006

It’s about time i blogged about my little getaway. I finally got paid for the STB Ads, and decided to splurge on Wayne’s birthday present this year. So 2 weeks ago, i took him to Phuket, Thailand. Tiger Airways offered the most competitve prices, plus their plane looked pretty cool on the outside (i’m a sucker for packaging). While we were waiting at for our gate to open, i went online to check the weather forecast.

Lesson numer one: ALWAYS CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE PLANNING YOUR HOLIDAY! No wonder the tickets were so cheap?! It’s freakin thunderstorm season.

On the up side, our hotel was amazing! We stayed 50 metres away from the beach at Banthai Beach Resort Patong, onThaveewong Road. I highly recommend this place!

After checking in, we planned out our days with the tour operator at the lobby, done. Since we couldn’t join any tours that late in the day, we rented a HUGE ASS jeep for just $28 a day! Wayne being Wayne wanted the BIGGEST baddest road beast there was.

Lesson Number 2: Always check if the rented jeep has power steering. Wayne probably gained a kilo of muscle mass on the arms.

We visited Wat Chalong temple, viewpoints over-looking the beaches and drove through Phuket town.

In the evening, we walked down the infamous Bang-La Road, where it was lined with bars, bars and more bars, and the occassional tailor that gurantees a suit can be made in 24 hours. We sat at a bar, beer in hand, watching groups of sexy women dancing on the platform. WAIT A MINUTE…EGAD! They were MEN!

Lesson number 3: If you ever want to get plastic surgery done, go to thailand, the surgeons would have had lots of practice. Flawless work, flawless!

My gawd, these trannies had the works done and they weren’t shy to let us “inspect” either…happily flashing their full ample melon bosoms and lifting their skirts exposing their non-existent shlongs! shocking! But it was fun just watching them trying really really hard to tease and seduce a tour group of rigid korean toursits. I took a picture with one of the ‘girls’, and trust me, you would have never guessed she was a he.

Slow walk back. slippers dragging. wash up. heavy lids. cold sheets. warm boyfriend. yawns. good night.

Cat trap

May 28, 2006

*Update*
After all that civet attack drama., my mum rented a cat trap from the AVA the next day and placed it in the garden. She still insists we carry a stick on the way out the door.

Happy Burfday!

May 25, 2006

I know, late late entry… i just didn’t have the time to upload photographs into the gallery until this evening!

Mid may, i surprised Wayne with a MacDonalds “Kids” Birthday party held at United Square. He was blind-folded throughout the car ride, and nosed-pegged on the way in (the smell would have been a dead giveaway). 22 of us played a kids game, ate happy meals, wore party hats and sang the birthday song to the extremely over-aged birthday boy. All “kids” went home with a goody bag, a greased up stomach, and smiles on their faces.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did! More pictures can be found HERE

Starhub Digital

May 24, 2006

Was waiting for at least one picture to be released before i blogged, just in case i wasn’t suppose to. Had this shoot for Starhub Digital last month all thanks to Danli, who so kindly sent in my photos for selection. Leon just happened to be browsing through the starhub website, when he chanced upon the small picture on the smart tv tab. If he hadn’t given me the heads up, i wouldn’t have known it was out

Pretend boyfriend coincidently is my mate Paul Foster, Nat’s brother! So it made it EVEN easier to “act” couply. More importantly, i had alot of fun catching up with him and Danli over chicken rice and strawberries.

Talents and Models don’t always look good…its probably 1 good picture out of 50. Here’s a few of the 49 photos.

Screaming legs and lungs!

May 23, 2006

I think i’ve realised my threshold, 4 days of mountain biking and i’m spent!

Janice had a day off on monday and wanted some company on her BT ride. Well since we’re neighbours now, it was super convenient to meet up, so how could i resist such an offer? Of course i’d go! We had a blast clearing slopes, and attacking the downhills, with the occassional sound effects, “Whhheeeeee….”, “YEeeeHArrrrrrr!”, “Wohooooo”, and “WhoaAh sh*t”. Embarassingly the last one was me riding myself into the bushes! Nice one Angela.

Friday: Pulau Ubin

Saturday: BT

Warning to you all!

May 13, 2006

When I left the house yesterday evening, I was a bit apprehensive leaving my mum at home, alone. I just had a funny feeling something was going to happen. As I turned the lock of the main door, I was thinking, ?Shall I just go check on mummy before I leave?? ?If she falls or something, will she be able to call me?? ?What happens if she?s hurt, and she?s left there all alone??

But I shrugged it off, thinking I was just being an over-paranoid, worry-wart.

It was slightly pass 10pm when my phone rang, and on the other end, was my frazzled panic-stricken mum who was just blubbering out sentences so fast I could only pick up words like: big cat, wild, attack, vicious, police!

Here?s what happened:

My mum was walking around her lovingly tendered garden, when she saw what looked like an over-weight cat walking on our fence. We have this mischievous little tiger cat that loves to eat our pond fish and defecate in nobody?s house but ours, so she tried to shoo it gently ?shoo! Go away!?

It just stood there transfixed on her.

That was a bit odd, she thought; maybe it?s a different cat. Plus it looks a lot bigger than the naughty cat. So she went in the house to turn on the patio lights, leaving the door slightly ajar behind her. As she walked back to the car porch fence, it was gone? Hmmm… Suddenly, it ran out from under the car and tried to strike my mum, missing her by inches! The poor woman jumped out of the way just in time and tried to scare it by stomping her foot! It then scurried back under the car.

By then she was so terrified, she ran to the patio, but when she looked back, there was that thing charging at her again!! It must have sensed her fear, jumped through the side plants and tried to attack her second time!! She stomped her feet again, and it stopped in its track.

The door was just within reach, so she made a dash for it! THAT THING RAN AFTER HER, missing her ankles by inches yet again!

She closed all windows, doors and locked herself in.

This cat-like animal was greyish, had claws, big teeth, and a long long tail. What the hell was that!!!!!

By the time I got home, my brother-in-law and sister had come to my mum?s rescue with sticks and torches in hand. She was shell shocked, sipping a cup of hot tea to calm her down.

So what was it? We?re 100% sure it?s a civet cat!

If the cat just decided to just walk away when shooed, and left us alone, I wouldn?t even bother blogging about it. But the fact that this wild animal tried to attack my mum, is no laughing matter! My mum stands at 156cm, and yet this animal looked like it took her as prey!

We now have sticks on standby at all doors and gates, and my mum insisted that Wayne walks me to the front door every time he sends me home.

So those in my area, please be extra careful. Psycho civet on the loose!?!

sparkle

May 9, 2006

(i’m so geek, i added the jingle to the playlist on the right)

now all together now “Money money money MONnney….MONEY!”

I felt like $30,000 last thursday…well because i was sparkling in $30,000 worth of clothes, timepiece and jewellery. I bling-blinged in diamonds i could never afford, so of course i treasured every single minute of it! I only managed to take one picture, and an awful one for that matter. For a second there, that person in the photograph looked like a patong-tranny, frocked up and bejewelled with costume diamantes…hmmmm

It was a shoot for Millenia Walk, so lets hope it blings me more work too!

Post FashBash

May 8, 2006

Last saturday labelluv held its first ever Fashbash bazaar at Ink Bar Raffles City, and the whole team from PInc Jewellery was there in full swing from 9am till 5pm. Although i was spent by the end of the day, going back to penny’s with an empty jewellery stand made it all worthwhile. I don’t take credit for any of the jewellery because i haven’t contributed anything in a long long time, but i’m proud to say i did a pretty okay job with the website teaser above and the earrings display! Yay for that!

A little mischievous

May 8, 2006

In every family, there’s bound to be one person who takes the coveted title of the “pain-in-the-ass”.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, i’d like to take this glorious moment to express my gratitude to my dysfunctional family for moulding me into the person i am today. I’d also like to express my deep admiration for all those wonderful people out there that have made is their business to annoy the hell out of their parents…every single day. You’re a star!

This pride comes as a result of voters whom i call family, and to be nominated comes truly as a surprise. Thank you, thank you again, and enjoy the rest of your evening.

*standing ovation*

and yes…that is me.

Nice buns wayne!

May 8, 2006

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man.
Bake me a cake as fast just as you can.
Roll it and pat it and mark it with B,
And put it in the oven for baby and me!

MUahAHahHA HAhaahhahaaha..

I couldn’t help it Wayne, i’m sorry. It was just too funny to let it pass sweetheart!

That’s Wayne on the AXA brochure, looking pleased at his basket of buns!

That picture was taken in 2003, near the time i met him in Perth. Hmmmm…Somebody has put on a bit of weight since then hey?

Goodness, can you believe how time flies?! next month makes it 3 years with Baker Boy!

First Interview

May 5, 2006

Today, finally, i’ve got time to scratch the blogging itch. Shock horror, I went for my first ever interview on wednesday morning! Can’t say where, just because i don’t want to jinx anything. I was thrilled it took place at a cafe rather than a stiff business setting - desk, big boss office chair, boardroom. For of all, it was less intimidating, and secondly, i had a nice hot cup of latte to calm me down. I hope i came across well, honest to my personality, and made a significant impression.

The way i see it may come across arrogant, don’t judge me on this, but i hope you see it as confidence. I have alot to offer a company, and its such a shame the others didn’t call me up for an interview. Because if they just gave me that opportunity, just to sit down and talk to them, i’m sure they won’t regret it.

The night before D-day, i was freakin out, running all the different sorts of scenarios in my head - “what if she decides to test me”, “will i freeze up”, “what if my breath stinks”, “omg! what if my pants rip!”

Anyway…whether it went well or not, for the rest of my life, i’ll still remember my FIRST interview.
