The following events took place on Oct 20, 2007.
This was the day where I wished everyone would've just stayed home and kept their doors shut, because I had a total of 5 invitations to Hari Raya open houses and visiting on the day itself; out of which, I decided to attend 2.
Well technically I only decided on 1, because the other was a case of you-better-be-there-before-the-distant-relatives-start-asking-1001-questions-on-why-you're-not-there. If you celebrate Hari Raya the way Singaporean Malay-Muslims do, then you'd know exactly what I'm talking about.
It's not a Muslim thing, though. Rather, it's a Malay social trendition (a trend which, over time, has become an age-old tradition) to uphold your family's face value; where it's simply a must to put up a front, freeze that smile on your face for 8-10 hours, and to strike up hour-long conversations with people whom you'd only get to meet during the festive season, weddings and/or funerals.
It's a lot of work, I tell you, but for conservative Malays like your parents and grandparents, it's worth more than the risk of being the "talk of the town", if you know what I mean.
Honestly, I'd kill myself if I don't hear my mom saying "What will people say?" whenever there's a function where the list of attendees extends beyond my immediate family! No, really. Here's a good example of such an instance.
Me: How do I look?
Mom: Boy, it's a solemnization ceremony. Why're you in tees and jeans?
Me: So what? I won't be the only one anyway.
Mom: I don't give a damn if the rest were to show up naked! What would people say if they were to see my son inappropriately dressed for the occasion? They're gonna think that I can't even afford to buy my son a decent suit of Baju Kurung.
Me: Mom, it's Calvin Klein! Half of them can't even afford to buy their kids CK!
Mom: Do you think they'd care that it's CK?
Me: Then why the hell should you care that it's not Zain's Collection?
Mom: Stop talking back to your mom and change into your Baju Kurung! The last thing I want is to be the butt of all jokes!
Me: (mutters to self) ...you already are.
Mom: Oh, and boy...
Me: What?!
Mom: I'll be wearing my blue Kebaya, so make sure you wear a blue Baju Kurung. What would people say if they saw us in different coloured outfits?!
See what I mean by it being "a lot of work"? In just a minute of conversation, the question "What would people say?" was already mentioned twice! It has gone from being a threat to a form of emotional blackmail of sorts.
Why must we care about what others have to say, anyway? Why can't everyone just mind their own beeswax? Well, even if they chose not to, why must we then feel threatened by what they might potentially say or spread around? I can always put myself in the same position too, right?
I mean, c'mon, let's face it -- I can always point out that bump I see on their youngest daughter's tummy; and I can also point out the speck of dust I see at that little corner just by the side table where the telephone's at; heck, I can even be an all-out Mak Cik Melayu Kaypo (a nosey, middle-aged Malay woman who lives for gossip) and talk about how that gold ring I noticed you had on during the last function is no longer there? Hmmmm, could it be lying in a glass case in a pawn shop somewhere??
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...... NOW THIS IS HOT NEWWWWWSSSSSSS......
So yeah, two can always play this game, and so why the hell should we ever feel threatened?!
Oh, and by the way, that whole chunk above are just examples yeah? No, I don't know if any of my relatives' daughters' pregnant or not, and I most certainly couldn't be bothered to notice any speck of dust in their respective houses! Like, I've got a life, people! Sheesh!

From Festive To Pensive -- Part 1
Ran the business as usual on Friday, after which, I headed down to the Hari Raya celebrations at the place my kewat (malay gay) friends and I call "Rumah Hantu", or "Haunted House" in english. I'm sure you must be wondering, "Why "Rumah Hantu", of all the names?"
Well.....
For starters, the place itself IS pretty "dirty". Seriously, sometimes, when you're at certain areas in the 3-storey building, your hair stands on its end and u get goosebumps all over. Brrrrr~
Secondly, the people who frequents the place are "Hantus" themselves. Go figure.
BUT...
Most importantly, the reason why the place's called Rumah Hantu is because the Hantus who frequent the Haunted House love to come up with "Cerita Hantu!" (Ghost Stories)!
For those who didn't catch the joke, well, either you've been washing your brains once too many times with Chlorox, or your sex life is similar to your CPF savings -- It's all a mirage!
Aaaaanyway... The Hari Raya show was alright and the food served was alright too, And oh, speaking of food, I'm sure you must be wondering what else I ate besides the bowl of Lontong that was served right right right???
Well....
AKU MAKAN PINOY MELETUP GILA BABI LAH, SUNDELLLL!!!

My Dear, Dear Claire
...how can you say THIS isn't hot?!
He may be THIS hot on the outside, but I tell you, he's sooooo much hotter on the inside. Trust me on that. And oh, sorry Bajji, I stole this from your album on Facebook. Hehe!

I Swear I'd Turn Straight!
As you all know by now, I, Maman, appreciate real beauty which is more than just skin-deep. I've always admired my dearest Tammi for in my eyes, she seems to have the whole package. The looks, the height, the charisma, the personality, the boobs deliciously curvacious body.
I was browsing through my friends' profiles on Facebook when I stumbled upon THESE pictures!
Tams, I swear, if I ever get over my fear (and disgust) of pussies, yours would definitely be the first I'd wanna penetrate! But I guess by then you'd already be married to Giles. Dammit!
Then again, you'd be a certified MILF, and we know how frequent MILFs' sexual urges are... Hur hur hur... A 3-way takedown, perhaps? Or would you prefer a 2-on-1 gangbang?? Hur hur hur....
P/S: FYI, my dick couldn't even erect to the thought of having Tammi in a gangbang with Giles. So, yup, I guess it'll be a looooong time before that would ever happen!

Gemini Love Horoscope
You see, this was what got me really agitated time and time again with both Adi & KS, the fact that they rarely share things with me. I had told them everything about myself, but yet they seemed to enjoy leading mysterious lives. Sometimes I wonder, why ah?
You see, I really hate it when my other half isn't being transparent cos' that'd lead to me doubting their honesty, and when that happens, the insecure jealous-strikened bitch in me rages out of control.
Mind you, not a second goes by after that where I hate myself for letting my doubtful thoughts get the best of me. It really is a sucky feeling, so why let me go through that?
In conclusion, the moral of the story is; Maman responds to honesty & transparency. Therefore, always be transparent (and honest) with Maman about anything and everything, even if it's about that hole in your underwear!
If distrust exists or one is concealing certain aspects from the other, it is very difficult to reach real ecstasy and happiness. It is necessary that both of you share your daily decisions, so that you are not bound by commitments that previously have not been planned jointly.

An Unpleasant Surprise
I received a notification on Facebook yesterday saying that Bajji had tagged 2 photos of me, and of all photos, he had to tag THIS photo from the "Beyonce Night" party at Powerhouse 6 months ago!
Just so you know, the one on the left is the infamous Tupperware Diva (aka the Queen of Plasticity), that's me in the center, and on the right is, well... The man who broke my heart.
Remember that whole period when I was so heart-broken that I isolated myself from the outside world for almost 2 weeks? Yeah, that's the man who broke my heart. Oh, and no, I'm not condemning him or whatsoever because he knows that deep (make that really deep) down inside, I still love him.
I guess it's pretty much redundant to express the shock I felt upon seeing the pic for I had already deleted the whole folder of pics taken that night, with the exception of my pic with Bajji of course.
The most sincere, kind-hearted friend anyone could ever get
Well anyway, my point of typing this whole entry is to let you know that I had a dream about the man who broke my heart last night. Shan't go much into the details of the dream, but it did cause me to cry in my sleep. I woke up realising that my eyes and cheeks were still wet, which then resulted in me crying again for a good 10 minutes.
Oh well... Honestly... I... I really don't know what else to say, guys... So... I shan't.
I shall end here.

A Small Request
May I request to those who intend to invite me to Hari Raya open houses, gatherings or outings to do so asap? Please?
I'm currently doing-up my schedule for the rest of the month, so it'd be great if you could pre-empt me on the invitations in the next few days or so.
You could either sms me on my two-week-old no (the one that starts with "9" and ends with "7"), inform me on msn, or simply leave a tag here on my blog. It's as simple as that.
Well, thanks in advance for your co-operation, y'all. :)

A LTD Affair
Was at Indochine Wisma with Jarrick (and 2 of his friends) to celebrate Jeffry's (from CIEC) 39th Birthday. My cousin and his younger brother were also there. Oh, and so were Fendi and Victor Tang.
The birthday boy was made to endure 3 rounds of Waterfall (the most potent drink available in any bar/club), not to mention the rounds of Tequila as well. Well the birthday boy sounded good, as per normal, even though he was so drunk after all that booze! And oh, his drunkard ramblings nearly caused my tummy to explode. He was friggin hilarious, I tell you!
Jeff blowing out the candles on his 2 birthday cakes
Anyway, my 2 cousins also took the stage and performed 3 songs for the birthday boy. Fendi also took the stage and he was, obviously, perfect as always. And as for Victor, well, here's the thing.
We all know he's the most-hated man on the show. We all know he sucks, but last night... Geez... I must say, I've never heard him sound that good before! Seriously, he sounded a hundred times better than he ever did in Mediacorp. I wonder why. Hmmm...
Oh, and fyi, he told me that he sings at Wala Wala on Mondays, so if any of you wanna go down to catch him Live, let me know. I'd gladly join you. Plus, Wala Wala's in Holland Village, which is like, 5 mins away from my place! Haha!
Well, as for me...
I only had 3 Heines, so obviously I was sober throughout the night. :)

Ermmm...
I just realised how MAT I sounded in my previous post!
Yikes!!~
Well, I'll take that as a preparatory step for when I enter CD. Hehe.
P/S: Claire, I ain't no void deck Mat! I live on the first floor, so my block doesn't have a void deck! Hehe!

When Whites Don't Understand English
I've just updated my Fridae profile a little over an hour ago, and I just received a message from some dumb-fuck ang moh who don't understand the concept of rejection.
My (updated) profile reads:
...And 15 minutes later, this dumb-fuck messaged me:
Wanna know what I replied him?
Mak Datuk!!!! If it were some bloody!xubile African or some Arab suicide-bomber who sent the message, then I'd understand his inability to comprehend the English Language and I would then gladly let him down easy lah, but what he fuck?! He's a bloody old-fuck ang moh!!! Bodoh nak mampus siak ni Mat Salleh!!
What, Greek men don't speak english, is it?! I'll SMS Zeus and ask him to shoot a bloody bolt of lightning on your shrivelled balls, I tell you! Plabuto punya Mat Salleh!
My (updated) profile reads:
Let me make myself clear for the upteenth time -- I don't fancy caucasians! Capiche?
I'm an Asian who prefers Asians, particularly Chinese, and though I don't mind getting to know my fellow Malays or those of any other Asian ethnicity, I draw my line at being friends.
Call it racial discrimination if you must, but that's just my personal preference. Furthermore, it's not like you're applying for some job, right?
And oh, I don't believe in the idea of a "monogomous long-distance relationship" either. You sure you can keep it in your pants when we're miles apart? Wanna bet 10 bucks on that?!
...And 15 minutes later, this dumb-fuck messaged me:
hi im nick from athens i like u very much i can say im crazy with asians even with u but im not sure if u r interested in whites and look for only asians just let me know ok/maybe u have to taste whites one time baby ok?
i can say i like u very much u seem to be very sexy and cute hope u answer me and give me u yahoo or msn ok? maybe we meet later if u like
kisses nick
Wanna know what I replied him?
First of all, may I suggest that you read my profile over and over again till u understand what every single word of it means.
And just to let you know, you're of the same age as my Mom!
So I'm sure you know what my answer is, right? Or do you need me to spell it out for you?
Mak Datuk!!!! If it were some bloody
What, Greek men don't speak english, is it?! I'll SMS Zeus and ask him to shoot a bloody bolt of lightning on your shrivelled balls, I tell you! Plabuto punya Mat Salleh!
Keep your houses locked lah!
Oh my, I've got 4 invitations to Hari Raya open houses & visiting this coming Saturday.
Why did all of you have to choose this Saturday to organize these events? It's only giving me unnecessary headaches, you knowww... Sheesh!~
Well, obviously I have to attend my aunt's open house, and I'm really keen to attend Riddy's open house too, considering I've not seen his mom and siblings since early this year, so to the other 2 invitations, let me think about it lah ah. No promises that I'd show up, though.
- Auntie Kathy's open house
- Hari Raya outing with the Secondary School peeps
- Riddy's open house
- Amirah's open house

Welcome To The Addiction
I recently signed up for a Facebook account, and though I'm still adjusting myself to its never-ending features, I'm somewhat enjoying myself there.
Those who have had their Facebook profiles set up way before I did... Erm... Help??
Hehe...
Oh by the way, do add me as a friend. The link to my profile's on the sidebar.

To my dearest friends
Sempena hari dan bulan yang mulia ini, Maman merendah diri menyusun sepuluh jari dan memomon ampun dan maaf kepada sesiapa diantara teman-teman sekalian jika ada terbuat salah dan silap atau terkasar bahasa secara tidak sengaja. Sesungguhnya Maman juga insan biasa yang tidak pernah lepas dari melakukan kesilapan.
Namun, jika pernah Maman mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat atau sindiran kepada sesiapapun secara sengaja... Memang padan muka kau! Wahahaha!
Sempena bulan yang mulia ini juga, marilah kita mengambil kesempatan untuk membuang yang keruh dan mengambil yang jernih, kerana itu adalah sifat mulia yang harus kita teladani.
Selamat Hari Raya
Aidilfitri mulia
Ampun maaf dipinta
Mensuci hening dosa
Setahun menghilang
Sekarang menjelma
Hari yang bahagia
Selamat Hari Raya
To those who have no idea what the whole chunk above is all about whatsoever, may I suggest you heed the government's advice and take up Bahasa Melayu as a third language. That is, if you're already eloquent in your own second language lah! Haha!

Hari Raya Shopping!
Was at Geylang Serai on Thursday night to grab a few stuff for the house, and since it was (then) 2 days to Hari Raya, the prices almost hit rock-bottom, and the crowd, well... It was a riot, I tell you! Then again, what's new right? ;)
Birthday Greetings
Yesterday was KS' 21st birthday.
Just as what I had mentioned in my b'day sms to him, I sincerely hope he'll ride the wave of life with patience and sheer determination as he steps into the world of adulthood.
Once again, Happy Birthday.

He's Living His Dream
Once again, I was at Mediacorp on Wednesday together with Mommy Dearest, my (maternal) eldest aunt, uncle and an elder cousin to support my cousin and his band for the top 6 round of LTD.
Anyway, I shan't talk much about it, considering how tired I am after all the pre-Hari Raya chores. So, here're the pictures.
Oh btw, they're through to the finals! Yayness! :)

The One That Comes After 8
Today marks 9 months since KS and I split.
It's been 9 months, but I'm still here.
Standing.
Breathing.
But just not alive.
"When was the last time someone looked into your sleepy eyes and said I Love You?"
It's been 9 months, but I'm still here.
Standing.
Breathing.
But just not alive.
I'm Sorry, Ben
This happened earlier today....
Ben: You alright, boy?
Maman: I think so. Why?
Ben: Cos' today marks 9 months since your break-up?
Maman: Oh, you remembered. I'm alright, I think.
Ben: Oh good, cos I sooooo need to bitch to you about what an ass Ken was last night. He...
Maman: (cuts in) You don't get it, do you?! When I said "I think", what I meant to say was I'm not o-k-a-y! And why're you people always coming to me when you have problems with your dickhead boyfriends anyway?! Why me?! Haven't any of you paid any attention whatsoever to my love life over the past 9 months?! It's virtually non-existent! There's a fine line between being fucking alone and being fucking lonely, and I AM fucking-lonely!!! So could you please be a little bit more sensitive and spare me the "Dr Love" moment and not make my life seem any more pathetic than it already is?!?!?!
(hangs up.)
I'm sorry for the unnecessary outburst, Benjie. I really am.
Ben: You alright, boy?
Maman: I think so. Why?
Ben: Cos' today marks 9 months since your break-up?
Maman: Oh, you remembered. I'm alright, I think.
Ben: Oh good, cos I sooooo need to bitch to you about what an ass Ken was last night. He...
Maman: (cuts in) You don't get it, do you?! When I said "I think", what I meant to say was I'm not o-k-a-y! And why're you people always coming to me when you have problems with your dickhead boyfriends anyway?! Why me?! Haven't any of you paid any attention whatsoever to my love life over the past 9 months?! It's virtually non-existent! There's a fine line between being fucking alone and being fucking lonely, and I AM fucking-lonely!!! So could you please be a little bit more sensitive and spare me the "Dr Love" moment and not make my life seem any more pathetic than it already is?!?!?!
(hangs up.)

I am so fucked!
I am so fucked!
Happy Birthday To Me. Again!
Today's my birthday! Well, according to the Muslim calendar, it is lah. I love having 2 birthdays. Oei, where're my presents?!
Wahahahahaha!!!!!
Wahahahahaha!!!!!
Happy 39th, Mom!
Yup, it was Mommy Dearest's 39th birthday yesterday, and what better way to spend her birthday (especially when she's right on her way to hitting the Big-4 now!) than to have a delightful oh-no-i-didn't-just-eat-that-much buffet dinner at The Hyatt's Straits Kitchen?!
:)
Was there together with my aunt and cousin, and boy did we have a feast! I was so bloated after the whole ordeal, especially since I usually don't have quite an appetite during the fasting month, that I felt like following Nicole Richie's footsteps and forcing everything I had eaten back out!
Anyway, before the dinner, mom decided to buy herself not one, but two Picard handbags as birthday gifts for herself! They cost a huge bomb lahhhh! (So if you're wondering why I spend my money like water, ask my mom!)
Okay, enough talk. Bring on the pictures!
Sambal Crab!
Satayyyy!!!
The Birthday Girl herself.
God I love my mom! :)
I have her eyes, and her charm. :)

Anyone remembers Greg? Yes, the Greg I dated before the whole Adi-Maman episode ever started. Yes, the Greg who was the first guy I ever dated. Yes, THAT Greg lah! Haha!
Well, I finally met up with him on Saturday after, hmmmm, 31 months? Yes, that's a long 2 years 7 months, mind you. Haha.
Was in the mood for some horror, so decided to catch The Detective at Cineleisure. Well, there were the shock-worthy scenes of course, but I think I laughed more than I screamed! I still think the movie was alright lah, though it wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be.
Aaron Kwok did pretty well potraying a wannabe-detective whose only obstacle was his short-sightedness. He managed to inject humour as and when he needed to, and I guess that appealed most to me about his acting. And need I mention how age hasn't stopped him from looking as cute as ever???
Wahahahaha!!!!
Okay, okay, after the movie, we headed down to The Big E where we started updating each other on our respective lives over the past 3 years, but that moment was shortlived when we saw a few plainclothed-policemen bringing 2 big groups of mats, minahs and mats-to-be to a corner near to where we were seated for presumably "illegal gathering" reasons. We then moved to Marina Square where we continued our conversation.
I must say, he's changed so much, and that's a really good thing if I may add. His sense of maturity has obviously grown, but why should that be a surprise right? He was 16 then. I was 17. He's supposed to change! Haha!
We then slowly walked across the Esplanade Bridge and headed down to Boat Quay for a drink. No, not THAT kinda drink. We were at the Kopitiam I usually hang out at lah! I had Liang Teh, he had Teh Peng. No alcohol involved whatsoever! (2 more weeks! 2 more weeks!)
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!
Anyway, we both shared a cab home at around half-past 3 and that was the end of the night for us. I must say that I really enjoyed the 7 hours I spent with him that night. It was really nice to finally catch up after such a long time, and not to mention, it's nice to know we still have platonic love for each other, though things didn't work out between us back then.
We took a picture together, but I promised him I wouldn't post it here on my blog, and so I shall post the rest of the pictures we took at Marina Square.
Random shot of his leg.
(Fetishhh! Wahahaha! WTF?!)
Random shot of his bag.
(Nice bag, right?)
Random shot of yours truly.
Greg acting shy.
(Greg, shy?! My ass lah! Haha!)
"Aiyo boy ah, mai pai seh lahhhh..."
Frontal shot of his current hairdo.
(It's way better than the super-act-jap-plus-totally-ah-gua-hairdo he spotted back then!)
So much more nicer and neater than back then right right right???
