A picture from Dev's 21st bash.
We celebrated Eddie's birthday on Thursday with a dinner at this
posh place called Iguacu. Food was so-so but company was as usual A
class. We just had dinner that night but promised to meet up at Eddie's
place for a more rowdy night of partying and such.
Saturday night came, me and B headed off to the city (where
Ed's place is) walk through the front door only to be confronted with
everyone singing their lungs out and the girls being semi tipsy. So I
came to the conclusion right then that it would be a night in at the Kahtigbak's
place. The guys weren't even high but the girls were shooting down
shots as fast as you can say SHOTS! The singing was horrendous which is
normal considering the the singers were half drunk, didn't know the
song or were too excited. We were making so much noise that I was half
afraid that we would hear banging from upstairs (as we were in an
apartment). What happenend was worse, around 1am a knock on the door
was heard and Tahnee opened the door while someone did the cart wheel
behind her and someone else was screaming MORE SHOTS! I could see the
grim look on the guys face as he surveyed the room through the half
opened door and ask for the owner of the place. Eddie came and he was
issued a warning and was told to "stop the singing". The dude was an officer from noise control.
Shites.
So we did stop the singing (after persuading the intoxicated bunch
to keep quiet). Tahnee decided to show the videos of our drunken antics
which she took that night on the tele. The volume was not very loud and
it was funny to see ourselves on the screen singing our hearts out with
passion and bad acting. About ten minutes into the video we got another
knock on the door and it was the same noise control officer this time
with a note in his hand . It was the second warning which came with a
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR FINE!
Oh my cow.
Everyone was livid (especially the highly intoxicated which I shall
now nickname the LAT aka Low alcohol tolerance) While Eddie was trying
to explain to the officer that we have in fact stop singing and it was
only the video the officer was refusing to believe him. There were some
of us who were swearing at the officer and telling him to stick it up
his a#$. The more sober ones were calming down the rowdy bunch while I,
well I was...half here, half there sitting (well slumped is more
precise) on the couch and watched the whole thing through
bloodshot eyes.
Imagine a movie that was going slow motion with all the voices muted
and then suddenlly LOUD and then muted and then LOUD and then
muted. It was a heady experience. So heady that I wanted to reaquaint
myself with the toilet bowl. (well I did try but the toilet was so
fresh smelling I couldn't bear to soil it).
The place was too noisy so Eddie, Tania and Peggy went with the
officer outside to try and get him to take back the fine.At first they
manage to escape the fine but then something happened along the way
(I'm not sure what) and the officer went down to see the manager of the
building who is the bugger who had a lunatic Asian girlfriend. I
know this cause Eddie told me that Peggy was being harassed by the
building manager again while putting his jacket on to go see her (
Tania and her followed the officer down apparentlly). At this time Jo
and Mojojo were in the toilet, Ah Fatt was outside with Ralph smoking.
B decided to go with Eds and the moment the door closed Ralph and Ah Fatt
came back form smoking and ask me where the guys went and I told them
downstairs and off they went. The moment they closed the door Jo
crawled out of the bathroom while Mojojo went to fetch a glass of water
for her. She asked me where they went and I told her downstairs, she
didn't say anything and promptly crawled back ot the toilet.
If I wasn't feeling sick I would have thought this scenario funny.
They all came back sooner than expected and the apartment was alive
with
noise once more. Some were cursing what an idiot the officer was while
the rest
were contemplating how close they were to being 500 hundred bucks
poorer. So with that threat still fresh in their minds Eddie and Peggy
declared that we were going to go dancing instead of karaokeeing.
Mojojo
and Jo didn't want to join us most likely due to the fact that Jo
couldn't stand up much less dance. So she went home and we went to
Breathe but it was not happening at all plus Tania was looking
pale and Jacqs was looking for a fight with the bouncer
who was four times her size. Naturally we called it a night, everyone
headed home with their fellow drunkards. Everyone had one
each.
The night started out innocently enough
A little bit of playfulness
Some posing here and there
This is me after just two shots.
This is Pegs after 6 shots.
That's Jo after countless shots
Till Then
Naked men and some other unimportant things.
"Well, I wasn't too comfortable when my Kiwi landlady brought different men to her room to have sex (on different occasions). I would sometimes catch these men naked in the bathroom. I think they had just finish having sex" (spoken with a heavy Chinese accent)
This was what a classmate of mine answered another classmate when asked "So D, what was the first thing about NZ that baffled you?" Well it would have baffled me too if I found naked men in my toilet. It was hilarious, everyone just went quiet at that statement and then came the nervous and embarassed laughter. However, my tutor was enjoying himself. This happened during my first class of Intercultural Communication tutorial, it's also a good start to the paper with a shy/akward/hair obssesed tutor and painfully blunt classmates from China give a good indication that I at least will not be bored. It is also an indication of what Asian students think of their western counter parts. Experiences like my classmates brush with his landlady's fondness for the nookie has understandably made him (wrongly) believe that the whole of New Zealand is like this. Or maybe it is?
There's a Deviant rave happening in Kiss Bar this Saturday those in the vicinity should check it out. They have pretty good trance music and Malaysians in NZ who feel like hanging out in a (mostly) Malaysian party crowd should try the event out. If I'm not mistaken it's free entry. I'm not going cause I have a birthday party to attend to. It's a 'Pimp and Ho' themed bash, I got an outfit all planned out I'm just wondering whether everyone else will be dressing up as well. A friend of mine wrote an email stating that maybe the party should be themed 'Go as yourself' since we always dress up as ho's and the men are pimping gangstas. I might have to disagree with her on that one cause
1, I don't ussually make much effort to dress up (except for makeup)
2, To describe B as a pimping gangsta is like describing 'a poodle is the mirror image of a Rotweiller'
There's so many August babies out there that I know off, speaking of which I have another birthday dinner to go to next Thursday. The birthday girls boyfriend is born in the month of August and so is her close friend. I've got all their pressies ready!!
Paintball is on for next weekend, I just have to call up this guy named Sancho and see if he can give me a MEGA discount on the balls. I mean a hundred balls ain't that much right? Well, this is my first time so I'm not really sure. But I know that for me one hundred balls ain't enough especially when I know I'll be laughing hysterically while shooting the gun as if it was a machine gun. I got some advice that I should NEVER EVER pretend that I was a hero and crawl to the enemy base cause that's like waving a thong in the air and saying "SHOOT ME!" "SHOOT ME PLEASE!". I also heard that the bruises one gets from them balls is pretty nasty. OOoOOOoOOOoooo I can't wait.
Till Then
It's 3.42am and I just got back from Ralphs birthday bash. It was so
much fun only because I got too see my girls all dressed up (or down)
and the men all pimped up to the max with their pimping hats and their
bling bling. The King of the Pimps last night would definitely have to
go to Allan who had a floor length faux fur coat, a good amount of
bling bling and the clincher was his Massive side burns (ala Elvis
Presley). Eddie came a close second with his white boa, the gangsta
walk and his cane. Someone came as Hugh Hefner wearing a black dressing
gown.
Ralph missed most of this as he already KO'ed around 12.30am.
Bronson followed suit and was letting out his inner gay side by kissing
and spitting on all the guys present. Well actually, come to think of
it he spat on everyone while talking. He made the trip home memorable
by getting really hyper and chugging the contents of his stomach on the
passengers seat. This is ironic cause I just parked the car in his
garage and was trying to get him out but the door lock was jammed.
It opened 'after' he did the deed.
Go figure.
Anyhoo, I'll let the pictures show you how much fun we had.
TIme flows slowly when your working
I'm at work and there's nothing to do thus here I am elevating that boredom into stupidness. When I say stupidness I mean silly musings on nothings and whatever-nots. It's good that your reading this then you'll have your dosage of stupidness for the day (but whose to say you haven't been stupid anyway?)
Last night was Yin's 21st birthday. I don't really know her that well but she's one of those few people that I would like to make the effort to get to know. It's because she's a really nice chick. One of those few people who 'seem' to be nice without an agenda. She's pretty blunt from what I've seen and she doesn't mince words and says what she wants to say. You don't find these kind of people anymore. I doubt we can find people 'people' anymore. We just find frauds, people who walk the walk and talk the talk. Nearly all are the same like the latest miniskirt marketed in shops that looks no different from the one's sold in Warehouse but have a heftier price tag all because it 'potrays' to be different. Now how the hell did I get from gushing about Yin to talking about the stupid ways that marketing uses us into buying ultra ridicolously ( i forgot how to spell) priced miniskirts.
Anyhoo,
Last night, Yin bought us and a group of her friends dinner to commerate her birthday. The venue was this motor home like restaurant in upper Queen Street and the food was good old fashion Korean. I have a biff with the place because Yin was five minutes late and they gave her table away ( that she had already booked!) Kurang asam punya babi hutan mereka semua. So we all waited for the other patrons to finish eating before we could get the table back even then the fat farking cow was telling Yin that she cannot take too much space. TOo much space??? First of all she already booked the place for a specified amount of space, she came farking 5 minutes late (ONLY!) and they gave the reserved tables away and then when we ge the tables back the fat cow says CAnnot??? Bloody shites...Don't want to go there anymore. Pooey!
But I happily forgot this angst (on the behalf of Yin Because I am such a keh poh) and stuffed my face with the food. I was seated at the furthest end with Su Ann and that was a blessings in disguise for we had TWO dishes all on our own!! A squid dish and this yummy chicken dish. Funnily enough the chicken dish finished way too fast and I ask Su Ann "EH! You don't want to eat the squid ah??" Su Ann look at me bug eyed and said "Eh?? I thought you want to eat squid cause I don't eat squid!" "Aiyah! really ah??" wailed me " I also don't eat squid!!" SHites. We were having this discussion while Chris (Su Anns beau stuffed his face with OUR squid). I was seated right beside Hwei Gjin as well and we were talking about free spirited people and how wonderful it is that they can ge to settle down and such. We also talked about mundane stuff such as Uni and shit (yeah, that kind of shit).
(anyhoo, back to the food)
Aiyoh, one dish for the both of us, but I still very happy!!
After dinner and many merry picture taking we headed off to Yins place where Shaun read out all the embarrassing things Yin had experienced with us individually. We wrote it on a small piece of paper in the restaurant while eating on Yins request. The funniest and most puzzling confession for me is from David who wrote "you fart in the toilet'. I'm like WTF? How does he know she farts in the toilet? The walls are paper thin is it? Or does he stick his ear to the wall whenever she's in the toilet? Or is he in the toilet when she did it? Where can like that wan??? Everytime I ask David his ears get red and he doesn't want to tell. Shites, confess like that for everyone to hear but don't want to tell how la. Kurang asam!
During the confession part Shaun and Yin seems to get a flak from their friends about their relationship. The relentless teasing and all sigh, to be in the first flush of new love. After that we had the opening presents time!! She got the usual girly stuff la. A war of words erupted for a while when Yin showed everyone what David gave her which was a pretty scarf in solid blue, white and black with a matching beanie. Yin like the scarf but didn't like the beanie. David blames TX for suggesting he get her that and simmers quietly when Yin loves the gift that TX gave her which are a pair of fashionable Mooky slippers. Obviously the sweetest pressie of all was from Shaun who got her two necklaces with heart shape pendants and one the pendants has both their intials engraved in them. So sweet.
We left around 11pm with some of the guys to play DOTA!! Payback time!! HO! HO! HO! We had a game with them once and we lost all three games!! Couldn't sleep for a few days trying to figure out where I went wrong and what should I do to beat em. Which hero I should use, which item would be more usefull to annihilate them. MUAHAHAHHAHA!! All those sleepless nights of thinking were not in vain when my team managed to beat em!! Muahahahah!! Although B did get beyond godlike in the first game which was an all random game and he got Shandalzere while I was trying to power up my Sven to be indestructible!! The second and last game (we finished at 2am) was the longest and it was an all pick game and I chose Lich. Lich is a cheap hero that mass frost and has an ultimate that can attack more than I character at a time. Lich is wonderful I got him eye of skadi, guinsoo and boots of travel and aegis. The items I got for my character indicates how long the game lasted I was level 25 for at least an hour before the game ended. The other team were pretty good at their defence plus B was rocking the night with Venomancer.
Shaun did not come with us this time cause he had to spend time with his honey bee. Heh, it cracks me up everytime to make lovey dovey nicknames for them which I think they would rather drop dead before actually uttering them in public.
Hold a sec.
Ok I'm back.
Anyhoo, last night was a fun night out. Good food, good company and a satisfying game of DoTa. What more could I have wanted? Well for one thing not a 9am class the next day, it was a struggle to get up and make it for class. Well I did manage to (be a 30 minutes late) but was in time for a group discussion and then my tutor had to go for a meeting! She had told us about it last weekand I totally forgot about it. Duh!
So there I was disoriented, grumpy (from lack of sleep) and hungry. I decided to go and settle fees for paintball for this Sunday email me for details if your a keen beaver. Then went to Mission Bay (and it was sunny and the light was bouncing against the sea, sigh) for an appointment with a hair stylist. Yes, I have finally decided to get something done about my hair. Not because I have the money (I severly lack in that area) but because I am bored with my hair. I mean it's better than having to resort to exercising, plastic surgery and painful dieting!! This is one way I can change my look without suffering...too much. I hope I shall not eat my words after I'm done with the whole "I'm so vain so I'm gonna make myself beauuutifuul" phase. I dearly hope.
Anyhoo,
Toodles.
Till Then.
Where there's girls there's fun! fun! fun!
Outside the old railway campus
I just got back from an all girls night out. I never realised I would be
able to meet so many girls from so many different nations in one night.
Plus, some of them were just so friendly and gorgeous to boot. More
later after I get a good mornings sleep. Paintball is later in the
afternoon, woohoo!
Till Then
Team Godlike pawns Team Da Butchers by 13 points!
Paintball hurts!!
The adrenaline rush it gives is exhilirating. The bullets whizzing by gives the new meaning to the word DUCK!!!
I got major bruises on my arms and sides, my right knuckle was the first to get hit and through out the whole two hour game it was bleeding profusely. It was bleeding on my pants, my vest and my gun. The gun was all sticky and it made it hard to pull the trigger sometimes. But it wasn't that hard that I couldn't go hay wire everytime I saw someone crawling in the bushes.
I tell you, sia tembak macam orang giler geng!
The venue was in a dense forest in Riverhead west of Auckland with a muddy gully it was hilly adn had loads of foliage. We played rush for the flag game where the group was broken into two teams and were placed at the opposite end of each other and we had to steal the other teams flag to win the game. The first round was tough cause the Norwegians and Ivy kept pushing and their defence was tough with Shaun, Yin and Casper concealing themselves waiting for any stray retard walking into their area. They manage to steal into our bunker a couple of times and it was a horror to get it back.
A funny thing happened in one of our attempts to get our bunker back. I was shielded behind a tree while the enemy (Hiong Kee) was raining bullets all over the place while his team was advancing from the back. None of us could advance because he was pretty liberal with his bullets. Then I saw Jacqs shooting his back up while oblivious Hiong Kee was on the look out in the bunker. Jacqs managed to skulk close to the opening to tag Hiong Kee. I was expecting him to come out and shout TAG and walk to the rest area. What happened was the total opposite. When Jacqs shot him she went to the bunker to take over only to be shot right on the chin from close range. Hiong Kee manage to shoot her under the protection of the face visor and shocked the hell out of her. It shocked her so bad that she started cussing and swearing her head off. She got so mad that she shot him in the leg for being such a *&^ktard. (censorship has been made compulsory due to parental complaint)
I couldn't help giggling as I watch this safely enconsed behind a tree. Gosh, I would never ever want to make Jacqs angry...very nasty business.
In the second round Bronson was trying to defend the base against Erlend, Magnus and Ivy who were slowly advancing. I had just gotten shot and was runnning back from the recovery hut when I heard Erlend scream IVY!!! Then I heard Bronson laugh, I found out later that Ivy had shot Erlend twice adn they were on the same team!! She even shot Magnus! So funny but one can't blame her as it was bound to happen with the way they were positioning themselves. On ym team Peter got shot in the head by Marc while Marc got shot in the head by someone else. Och! Painful!
I was wondering why the other team was able to advanced so rapidly and so I went skulking around the bushes and what do you know I had a clear view of Erlend and Ivy. I poised myself for a shot untill I heard FWAP! FWAP! Then my thigh felt like hell while my shoulder blade was screaming! I saw this figure huddled under the foliage and he was going to give me another round that I quickly raised my hand and surrendered. They had a sniper!!!
Damn.
Shaun, Yin and Hwei Gjin were on the other team and I only saw them in the second round. I collided with Shaun when I was skulking in the bushes looking for a solo enemy. I saw Shaun huddling behind a tree and he was looking at the right, I was like YES! my next victim. Now where I was skulking and where he was skulking was quite a way from each other. I calculated the risk and deduced that I would be able to get him even if he saw me. Plus there was this nice big bush right under him that I could jump into. I started running, I saw him whip aoround to see my running at him at full speed, he started shooting them painful balls but I manage to get into the bushes. Now here is where the O.I.A.I.D.S (stands for 'OMG I AM IN DEEP SHIT') part was, he started shouting " Yin! Yin! Theres someone right in front of you!!" I was like WTF???? On my right behind this tree was Yin behind it. I started shooting before she did, Shaun started shooting behind me. SHIT! SHIT! Then Shaun got me in the neck and my arm through the bushes, that was lucky cause Yin had changed positions and was aiming right at me. Damn! So much for a free kill.
By then the Norwegians were ahead of us in points since they got the first flag capture. We manage to make it even in the last few minutes of the game. I was in the recovery hut (again, yes I know) and I heard Jacqs screaming that they have our flag, I rushed out putting on my visor only too see Stephen (a team mate of mine) giving up and saying they have the flag it 's no use. I could see from a distance that the other team were huddling together and I could hear gun shots. I left Stephen talking half way adn started running to the enemies base. I reached their bunker in time to see Lars getting shot adn dropping the flag. I shot the other team members who were trying to retrieve the flag while Daniel recovered it. I could see two figures behind a tree and rushed forward and pointed the gun behind him and shouted surrender. He surrendered immediatelly and then I realised it was Hwei Gjin and she ran out of bullets. The second guy was harder to get but I made a mad dash and did the same thing and I found out it was the sniper. He laughed and surrendered now all I had to do was grab the flag and run back to base. That was a horrific experience when everyone found out I had the gun the bullets came flying in. I finally realised how a a hunted deer felt like it actually felt like I was really going to die.
While running I was thinking how mad the soldiers were fighting with real guns, real bullets and real enemies. It was scary and I finally realised how lucky and brave those surviving war veterans are also the soldiers who are in the army right now. It's a world that I cannot even fathom.
Dramatics over and done with I manage to get the flag to the base and honked the resounding sound of victory!
Everytime we get tagged we had to go back to the recovery hut and record it down. In the end Team Da butchers had 58 tags while Team Godlike had only 45 tags. It was a close fight and Team Da Butchers nearly captured the flag twice.
I got the most tags in my team with 7 tags while Erlend got the most for his team with 11 tags.
Erlend, Harken (who was squeezing my bruise), Lars, Magnus and Tom
Group Shot
Scars from Paintball. It was all worth it.
HO! HO! HO!
Phew.
Paintball is definitely scary shit.
