Oh goodness! I am so guilty that I haven’t been blogging for so damn long!!!

People asked me why haven’t I blogged for so long. My answer (as well as many others out there) would be, “I don’t have the time!!”.

Shyt, and Boss says I am wrong. I should make time for it.

Looking at my memory card, I have so many over due photographs. All of these could have been chronicled in this blog of mine. Moreover, I am paying for my blog host every month and I am not even the least utilizing it

But anyway, Christmas is here again! I wanted to ask Carlos, my PH colleague to come by Malaysia to celebrate Nuffie Xmas dinner together. So I was digging out my old archives of the  Xmas celebration we had last year, so as to tempt him!

Then to my realisation, I really really really had so much fun last year. It was really one of my best years, one of my best Christmas spent. Not forgetting, the blog also serves as my journey in Nuffnang. I started  the very first day Ming hired me. That means, hooray! I have finally sustained a blog for more than a year and what’s better? I am still happily working in Nuffnang! Double Hooray!!

Anyway, let’s take a look at this pic! This is the pile of X’mas pressies we had last year with the MY + SG Nuffies. It has always been our tradition and I am sure it will always be.. 10 years down and counting..

To think of how much Nuffnang Team has grown (esp MY), I guess this pile u see above is just gonna double up this year! Christmas has never been so meaningful to me before, and now it has a total important significance to it.

I’m pretty excited tho. I wonder who will be my secret santa!! I promise I will blog about it again! )

There are some Malaysia Nuffies in mind whom I hoped they will be my recipents! Tsk, tsk, we shall see!

After a hectic night of celebrating Boon’s birthday, I zonked out to bed till 3pm today.

My throat felt so dehydrated, my stomach had no energy to even growl any further. Kenny’s out and I’m all alone at home!

And there I saw a can of Pringles revealing itself from my bag – teasing me. If we are having a war, my house would be the last place you would want to be in. Cos’ there are simply no edible stuff at all. Those pringles chip saved my life!!

So I decided to come up with a noobish comic strip to keep me entertained before Kenny comes back with his love.

Yay! I finished it just in time, and it was definitely “Krrunch” doing a collage like this while I’m at home! Isn’t it cool? I have created my very own Mr. Seaweed and Ms. Original. Keke.

Big love to seaweed flavour! I miss shaker fries though

We have probably not imagined Blog Awards could be so tedious.

Now that most people have known, we are in the nomination stage of the awards. Sorting hundreds of blogs could be a laborious job, not to even mention we need to specfically seive & read through one by one.

Soon we will be proceeding smoothy into the voting stage where judges will come in to critic, pin-point and mark down their scores. Beforehand preparations are something we must highly take note of, also to think ahead of what we predict might happen. Particularly, this is our first Awards.

It’s gotta be BIG. GRAND AND PRESTIGIOUS!

Today seems like any other day, just that if we were late, our boss did not happen to scold us. Haha, maybe cause it is a Saturday. A flip at the agenda book, we seems to have lots undone! So the weekends came in to remind us that time is slipping by, quicker and quicker.

Each of us were in-charged of various categories for profiling. We have not read blogs as much compared to these few days, until we might be even scared of reading one.

Elaine, who looked through the Food Blogs felt hungrier by every min before lunch. The tantalizing and attractive photos definately make her stomach growl!

Thanks to Ming, her hunger was fufilled as we ordered Sakae Delivery to the office!

Sashimi + Wasabe is my love!!! You know one of my favourite food now (Ming was playing some weird India comedy sitcom while we gorge the yummy sushi.)

Heavy lunch, heavy eyelids. I guess we need some stretching and lazing around, haha!

That’s Elise! Nice figure eh?

Elise felt that it is TIME. Time for her to settle down and nurture kids. That is the after-effect of gazing through so many Parenting Blogs! Haha!

And for Huiwen, she said she was annoyed. Annoyed by Travel blogs with Pandas. Annoyed that whereever she goes, she sees Panda! Even can spot baby Panda on TV! Oh well, what a Panda day for her!

For me, the Geek Blogs made me splurge today. You know, gadgets are expensive, cool gadgets are doubled! Geek Blogs + Comex 2009 = Temptations and Squander.

If you have been following my tweets, you could have realised that I am itching for a DSLR. JUST itching.

You see, its a chain of reaction. Kind Judd after realising my interest, started to spark a convo with me on cameras. He said Carlos is a pro user and knows a lot. So the next day Carlos and I were talking about cameras. He showed me fantastic photos and the itch grew more than just an itch. And just so happen, an event surfaced. Comex is a bitch I must say. My uncle worst. He ‘LURED’ me to Comex cause he needed my help to choose a laptop.

This evening halfway through my work, I took a haitus and went off to check out Comex. Seriously not the place I would want to go. Crowded and messy. But it is the superb place if you know of something you want to buy outta there!

There, there, it is, the mouse trap. Huge yellow booth with gigantic black words stated, “NIKON”. How would someone missed that!? The devil says, “No harm checking out the price right”? And so I did.

End of story.

BUT NO! It doesn’t just stops right there! I said I need to consider, so I went back office, sat down and TRIED to continue my work. It disturbs me sooooooooooooooooooo much that I decided, let me just have a crazy moment. What a great excuse right..

The fucking impatient me went back to Suntec again. So this is the real ending.

Presenting you my love, Nikon D5000, great for entry users!!

I know, I’ve got SO MANY THINGS TO LEARN! It is just lovely to see those great pictures, a feeling in my heart I couldn’t explain verbally.

Here are some photographs we took while playing with it. (Kenny is more excited than me, I don’t know why)

Nothing much to take at home. (Pardon my noobness!) Omg and seriously my fake lashes are really obstructing my focus view big time! But I’m still not ready to sacrifice them off!!

This camera is how I started loving photography. I wouldn’t say I am like the most passionate person out there, but I would say I have enough passion to take up as a hobby and nurture.

This Canon Powershot E1 was a birthday gift to to me last year. By people who play a big part in my life now. My family, friends and colleagues. It wouldn’t become a thing of the past, but I will still bring it along with me wherever I go, as it always had. For those wanting a good camera, I strongly suggest Canon Powershot. They have the ability to shoot great pictures, sometimes just like a semipro (I dare not say pro!).

And now enough of blabbering, I have to finish up my work as promised. (Made this promise so that I would limit myself from playing with my new toy too much)

I’m feeling as if FYP is coming back to haunt me!!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Though I am not really an automobile fan but this race could totally intrigue me to wake up early (my definition for early is before 2pm) on a Saturday to be a part of.

Thanks to Eugene, the 5 of us (HW, Kai Zhi, Eugene, Kenny and myself) got a ride on his car. When we reached, we quickly sorted out the tags to disseminate.

All images courteousy of Kai Zhi.

When all is set and done, we were ushered in to the departure area, needless of passports!

Spot my new shoe from Vincci! Love it!

Before we proceed to the real action, we were warmly welcomed at an air-conditioned VIP sector where tantalizing food were served, accompanied by local emcee and jamming  rock band!

Nothing can describe more than photos!

Hot girls definately receive all the lime light!

Given this chance, I’m glad that I got to meet some bloggers whom I have worked with but not met personally before. One of them is Shadowandy. I’ve also managed to mingle with as many of them as possible.

Here is a great shot with beautiful Tracy!

Before we excitedly storm to the grandstand area, I thought we should participate in the voting. So, ‘Air Power’ or ‘Land Power’?

Everyone else in the world knows Porsche is one of the speediest car in the world. To me, I like things out of the ordinary. No one knew how fast the Jet could go, cause there are no attempts of Jet racing (or not that I know of).  So I hoped for ‘miracle’. And that is why I voted for..

AIR POWER!!!

Luminous CWO jackets and white caps were passed to us. Cap for shade and CWO jacket so that the plane don’t run us down?

We were transported in batches to the grandstand area. And what awaited us was HOT HOT AND HOT….

1) Hot Weather

Though those seated at the grandstand managed to glimpse the real action as compared to those seated in the air-conditioned room inside (watching through screens), the weather was so good that the sun was directly scorching into my skin. I will never get a tone lighter but the opposite. Poor Kenny was wearing long sleeve dark-coloured Tee. And like every other events, audiences have to wait and wait and wait for the actual thing to commence. So we were just BBQ-ing ourselves.

2) Hot Race Queen

Quite pretty eh? Kenny made a funny joke out of her. He said she is orginally fair, just that she has been working since morning at such hot weather. So she became…

3) Hot cheerleader

Save the cheerleader! Save the world!

4) Hot Porsche racer

…and seasoned SIA pilot.

And after much waiting, preparations and security clearance, they are all set and ready to go!

Cameras ready!

And off we go!! Watch the video!

Due to parallel error, I thought the Porsche was so far leading ahead. But after viewing the vid, I’m convinced that both were very close at the finishing line.

The plane had to take off and land awhile later.

Congratulations to Porsche winning the race!

Oh ya, I lost So no lucky draw for me!

One day in office, the courier came. It was tickets for Kobe Bryant’s Asia Tour.  Before the campaign launches, I asked myself, “Who the heck is Kobe Bryant!?” I thought he is some famous Singer whom (as usual) I’m not aware of. A basketball fanatic would think I’m stupid. Apparently he is the MVP of NBA 2008. (and also a rapist – let’s forget about that)

On the actual day, I was supposed to give out tickets to the Nuffnangers at the indoor stadium. I was honestly the least interested to be there. But since I’ve got nothing on, I decided to tag along with Elaine and her friends.

We have some super enthu fans wearing his jersey. One of them is Josh, one of my fav Nuffnanger.

Me: “Eh, Josh.. You super outdated lah.. I thought Kobe Bryant is No. 24?”

Josh: “… This one is old one lahhhh…”

I’ve come prepared! Trying to act like one of his fans also. Tsk Tsk.

[Wanted to slot in the Nuffnangers photo here, but was super blurry!]

Apparently some china dolls came up to us and ask if we were selling tickets. We had like 2 extras, and it was so tempting, you know? Cos’ Ebay is selling it like what, 200 bucks?! In the end, we didn’t

Upon entering the stadium, there are two gigantic poster which our eyes couldn’t have missed.

Cool shyt huh.

We had great seats inside, the 8th row from the front.

Follow down by the Nuffnangers!

Right on the dot at 7:30pm, comes the arrival of the King of Basketball, Kobe Bryant. The surroundings were pitch black, but only with striking white light shooting right through this translucent piece, which had his purple name on it.

Behind emerged a shadow of a well-built man. It was Kobe Bryant! And the fans cheered their lungs out!

He began his talk about his tour in Asia, what he thinks of Singapore, his new product, so on and so forth. Then I’m was enjoying on my packet of Lays.

I thought, there are going to be some kind of match coming up next. But to my disappointment (others too), the entire ‘live’ thing was just him training a bunch of bballers, teaching them drills etc. All we do is watch him talk, do a tweeny bit of stuns. That’s all. It might be a great deal to have learnt something from him for the other fans on site. But definitely not worth the money if you have paid for it!

I only liked the last part where he threw hand-signed basketballs to the crowd, like 20 of em’. That’s when the crowd got the most hyped up!

It ended pretty early. And just like after NDP ended, no cabs were available and we had to squeeze ourselves up the buses.

That day was also the first time I got to meet Ariel.

Till I blog again!

And seriously, in what way is a Durian associated with an angmoh?

We were at a famous durian stall along Balestier road just opposite my house!

We ordered one bitter-sweet durian for try-out.

You know when we chinese refer to a particular food which we don’t like to eat, sometimes we would say “????” (I don’t know how to eat). But you know that isn’t the literal meaning. It’s just ‘don’t like to eat’. But for David, it is literally – “I don’t know how to eat”!

He couldn’t decide where to place his fingers at.

Do I use my fingers? He asked. Yes, we answered. Then, he had his first physical touch at the durian flesh, he exclaimed, “ohh, it’s soft!“. Then he couldn’t decide how to hold it! But we have HW here to teach him!

He said it was difficult to describe that kinda feeling. It wasn’t detestable, it wasn’t fantastic. I guess it is afterall not a caucasian thing. LOL!

I’m back back back back back from Nuffnang Music Bash ‘09, KL.

Towards the end of the dinner while we were having fun and laughter, I felt a gentle pull at the back of my sleeve. When I turned back, Carol started whispering into my ears.. It was so soft, all that I could hear was..

“Vernice’s sister is coming.. stay on for a while more” (Some sort like this lah)

Then, I was told to pass on the message to the next person beside me and so it continued..

Few mins later, Vernice was asked to stand on a chair and we sang her a bday song.

I guess somebody starts clarifying about Vernice’s sister cos’ that took quite some time… and it came to a realisation that the message passed down was totally WRONG! Originally it was supposed to be..

“Vernice’s desert is coming..”

Damn it, I BROKE THE CHAIN! HAHAHAHAHA. That’s how its like when a message was passed down by so many people.

While we waited for the bill, someone suggested we play the “passing-message game”.

TRUST ME. A totally logical and normal sentence could eventually be twisted into a nonsensical structure with sexual implicit! 3 tries and it turns out to be like this! And obviously some of them try to be funny and twisted it purposely! I wanted to give examples but my memory is failing me already. It’s just so funny!

I told Kenny of what happened at TGIF. He said something which is very true. Out of all the fun we had of that game, it lies a morale. That explains how RUMORS got worsen when mouths multiplied.

Lastly, let me present you with a himbo picture of YH trying very hard to curl his lashes with my curler.

Can see that he is trying very hard to impress Robb. (Just kidding!)
