U to the S to the A


Another girls night out in town~ ;)


My bestie, the geisha.


I dyed my hair for the first time in my life last Wednesday.

I'd never done so before because I was afraid it would damage my roots. I also felt that it would be a waste of time & money since my hair grows really fast and I'd have to spend a lot on constant touch-ups.

But then I thought, what the hell... I'm gonna try it some day anyway, so why not now? I didn't look at myself
properly in the mirror until the whole process was complete. Only when my hairstylist finally put down the hair dryer and said, "Ok, you're set. D'you like it?" did I finally look up.

My first thought was:
=o "I should have started doing this years ago~!" (=


We are loyal customers! They serve THE best margaritas ever! None of that watered down shit.. Btw, Frontera was featured in today's Star. Remember.. We discovered it before the publicity!


Omg, the best homemade pecan pie ever! Hot sweet pecan filling in a buttery crust... Ummm~~

Arvind (Shann's bf): *Eyes me eating dessert* "Did you know there's a theory that women who crave desserts aren't getting enough sex?"
Me: "But that's not true. Shann craves for desserts all the time!"
Arvind: *Speechless*

Manager whose name I can never remember: "What, you're not sharing that??"
Me: "No, I'm sex deprived."
Manager: Hurhurhur! *Grins a little too broadly & edges a little too close*
Me: Errr... *Gulps down margarita nervously & ignores him*


My 'Kinkybluefairy' - special cocktail at Somo in Mt Kiara, named after regular patron, Joyce Wong.

Look who just got back from the USA today after 9 whole months!
Cap de la Cap!!
I went simply ballistic at the sight of her.
Hugs, kisses and squeals despite many odd glances from the others at Iron Chef 2008.

Ironically...

In about 12 hours time, I'm going to the very place she just came back from :p
Nvm, plenty of time to spend with you when I get back, Cappy! Especially since you're gonna be here for the whole of summer!
Wheee~!



IT'S MY VERY FIRST TIME GOING TO AMERICA~! :D

Las Vegas! Hollywood! Disneyland!

Will be there on a holiday, as well as to get a feel of the country I'm about to spend the next few years of my life living in. The trip is 10 days long; Will be back on the 3rd of June with more entertaining news of my rockstar life to share with you all! Nyaha~!

Deborah Germaine Augustin

Today, one of my dearest bestest friends is leaving for the UK... :(

We were classmates in Standard 1 but only became close somewhere along the second or third year. She didn't like me at first - she thought I was a brat because our teacher had to turn off the class fan when I complained of feeling cold. I can definitely say that we were among the naughtiest kids at school! We'd terrorize and gross out the prefects by mashing bananas in our mouths, spearing worms on satay sticks, etc... Girls' school no boys mah! Therefore, we had to be the boys :p


Above is a picture of us in primary one. She never fails to tease me about how freakishly white I was back then. I on the other hand, tell her that I can't believe how she could possibly have looked so innocent seeing as she's the total opposite now! I'm on Puan Wong's left while Deb is on her right.

Deb was the one who introduced me to the secret of 'boy-catching brownies'. The first time we baked together though, our coconut macaroons were a disaster. We ended up trying to feed them off to our poor friends at school.

When I found out that my first serious boyfriend was cheating on me, I was a wreck. She came to my rescue with an emergency 'break-up kit' consisting of a box of chocolates, a cool tribal necklace from Africa, and other small delights. She also stopped my tears from flowing and made me laugh by offering to chop the jerk up into little pieces. I was sorely tempted, but declined her kind offer.

I always find myself doing the maddest things whenever I'm with her. Whether it's climbing over walls one Halloween night to throw red food dye in her hated neighbour's swimming pool, trying to break into our school computer lab by corroding the lock with salt water (though now I can't imagine why we even wanted to get into that sad little place!) or some other unmentionables, (heheheh), her free spirit knows no boundaries!

Role-play in Deb's garden ~ Helping our other friend out with her art assignment. I was a jealous harlot who hired a thug to destroy Deb's wedding. The blue feathered boa is a birthday present from me to her. We had such an insanely good time that day!

I blame Deb for my recent alcoholism. It all started one fine day when we had Cosmopolitans and red wine for breakfast at La Bodega. When she came over to bake muffins at my house just two weeks ago, we raided my dad's liqueur cabinet, looking for something of which to spike the muffins. Just last Wednesday, right after accompanying her to get her THIRD tattoo at Borneo Ink, we decided to go for tea to celebrate. We ended up having pints of Guinness stout at Finnegan's. Her excuse for it was to 'block out the pain' :P Don't follow our example, kiddies! Alcohol doesn't solve all your problems. Many things, yes... But not all of them!

Right now, I am blogging this while waiting for her to get home from a pub in Peejay -.-" Her flight is early in the morning somemore! I plan to see her this one last time before she flies off as well as to deliver a special gift I made especially for her. I spent weeks on it & I really hope she'll like it!

Deb & I are gonna age together gracefully and still have Cosmopolitans for brunch when we're 80. Her spunky attitude and brave outlook towards life truly inspires me. Thanks to her, I have learned to embrace life for what it truly is - an wonderful adventure...

Here's a shoutout to you, babe:

Take care of yourself in the UK and snag those Brit boys like there's no tomorrow!

I love you sooooo damn much.

You're one of the best things that have ever happened to me... :)

How to save a life

One day, KY told me that he had a surprise for me in his car boot.
At first, I was a bit apprehensive...

Was it some creature? A dead animal? A dead body?
>_<"""

Close enough.

Everyone, meet Little Anne!

After KY attended a first aid and CPR training programme at work, he offered to share his new found knowledge with me. Little Anne was a complete surprise though!

I had so much fun teasing him/her? He/She is bloody ugly anyway.


Here's a brief run-through on what I learnt~! ^^

There are basically 5 steps to performing CPR. To keep them in mind, always remember the given codename - DR ABC.

1) D stands for...
DANGER

Before you start helping the victim, you must first check to see if there is any danger around. For instance, a fire, knife, leaking gas, etc... You must anticipate the source of the initial danger so it won't harm not only the victim, but also you as the rescuer. It wouldn't do any good to get hurt in the act of your heroics!


2) R stands for...
RESPONSE
Is the victim conscious or unconscious?
If unconscious, try to bring the victim around...

NOT by pinching the victim's nipples. No, that won't do.
The RIGHT way would be to tap or shake the victim's shoulders and ask loudly, "Are you OK?"


3) A stands for...
AIRWAY

Let the victim lie on his or her back on a firm surface. Open the victim's airway by doing the tilt-chin lift ~> Put one palm on the person's forehead and gently push down. Then with your other hand, gently lift the chin upwards.

4) B stands for...
BREATHING

Check for normal breathing. Look for chest motion, listen for breathing sounds, and feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Do not consider gasping to be normal breathing. If the victim isn't breathing normally or you aren't sure, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.


Pinch the victim's nostrils shut and cover the person's mouth with yours, sealing the lips tight. Give the first rescue breath and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does, give the second breath. Should the chest not rise, repeat the tilt-chin lift before giving the second breath.

5) C stands for...
CIRCULATION


Begin chest compressions. Place the palm of one hand over the center of the person's chest, directly between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands. Use your upper body weight and not just your arms as you push straight down on (compress) the chest. Push hard and fast - about two compressions per second. After 30 compressions, repeat the cycles of DR AB. Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or until the emergency medical personnel take over.


That's all! I think I've got it right. Correct me if I'm wrong, KY!

After the 'lesson', we fooled around with Little Anne >:)


I have a fetish for ears... Kidding! Or not :p
Little Anne's ears were super soft and quite realistic to the touch!


Some weird jester hat KY lent to Anne. ROFL!


Can you say, "Michael Jackson??" XD Hahahahah!!


Little Anne wasn't very happy about the mockery we made of ?him/her? Still can't decide!


Don't lah merajuk, Little Anne~ Here, a kiss for you!

*SmuackSsS*

Panties yeah!

Word of warning: There are a few tiny spoilers in the 1st paragraph concerning Narnia.


I had a terrific Wesak Day! Delicious meal at Dave's in 1U and watched Prince Caspian with PB&J. I fucking teared in the cinema when the trees came alive and saved the day! And when the river spirit emerged to drown and defeat the enemies, I just wished there was magic in the world again...

Did I say again?

Had dinner at Jarrod & Rawlins with KY. Finally got to try steak & kidney pie! It's got a very pungent 'chou chou' smell to it.. I don't think just anyone can take it. After Prince Caspian, I was in such a movie marathon mood! So we watched Drillbit Taylor after dinner. I've got the hots for the bully, Terry.


Usually, I'm not one for the whole 'bad-boy' facade, but this Alex Frost guy has got my *knickers worked up in a sweat ;p Maybe because he reminds me a bit of someone...

*This term doesn't exist btw. Being anal about language, I actually checked it up on Urban Dictionary. There's only 'knickers in a bunch' and 'knickers in a twist'. So it is now officially Sammy's own term to define 'iama horny'. I also managed to learn other terms with word 'panty' in them during my research. My fav is, 'panties yeah'!


Kind of like "fuck yeah", but better.


Alex Frost is a pantie wetter.


PANTIES YEAH!

Reality is the opposite of the mellow

At Old Town White Coffee:


Strawberry mellow & blueberry mellow... Hmm… Both sound good…
“Can I have both kinds of toppings instead? Pleeease?”
*Sweet smile*
Waiter stammers, “Oh… Ok!”
Yells to kitchen, “Mix! And no extra charge!”

;D


“So how’s your mum?”

“You didn’t know? She's missing.”
“What d’you mean missing?”
“She just disappeared from home one day. She called last week though…
I know where she is now, but I don’t think I’m emotionally ready to see her.”

When I got home, I went into my parents bedroom and fcking gave my mum a huuuge hug. She grunted sleepily in her dreams..
“I love you, ma…”
