In the name of CHARITY

my first VERY expensive movie ticket

*you've got 1 text msg*
Carol: Wanna watch the premiere of HANCOCK? Ian's got FREE tics
Dot: where?
Carol: Cineleisure
Dot: (call me a cheapo or whatever u can think of) *thinks* i need some LEISURE from all the assignments! and it's FREE!!! *lalala* so why not? *thinking ends* OK!

that Wednesday in the car... (with Carol, Ian and Carrere)
*ladilada*
there was this commotion on Ian spending LOTS of money to get us the "FREE" tics! However, it sorta ended (for Carrere and I) after Ian said "Just think of it as i'm doin this for CHARITY" and we decided to look at our handphones...



i wouldnt comment anything more... cause u can UNDERSTAND LOTS by just reading between the lines but thanks Ian for the show! =)

BBQ

As mentioned in the title (i think this is THE most direct title i've ever used :P) we had a CELLIES nite out! and yes... we had BBQ!

this happened beginning of July (i think)

Daryll's mom helped us start up the grill? (what's it called? *shy*)

and she began cooking b4 we came! so we wont be famished! :D

the 2 posers (notice that the bbq pit's cover is still down? so what is Basil trying to pick?)
Gerard- the bread cutter
Dot- the butter spreader
Clarissa- the NEWBIE!!! :D

Sandra helped spread butter toO!

Max- the REAL cook (wannabe) :P
the other BBQ pit
Enoch and Jo.G the-garlic bread makers... more like the garlic bread wrappers :P

Grace and Daryll (hidden outside of the cam frame)- the entertainers... but i think they were entertaining themselves -.-

the Garlic bread crew... with Dot focusing LOTS into spreading the garlic and butter :D

1/2 hour later...
Basil: hmm.. dont u think we should start the other pit?
Yee Wei: YA HOH!
Gerard is relatively new in cell... and he seems HAPPY! (i know that's great!) but... i WONDER WHY? :P

Grace: *shouts* is the food DONE YET???

max: coming!

the camwhores!

the buttery gals

due to the limited number of cups that we had... we all decided to WRITE our names on our cups, except for ONE person...

she kinda engraved her name onto the cup! :S hehe!

once again... we're butter-ing the bread... wonder why we took so long? cause none of us could decide on HOW to cut the bread...

Em: ooh... the song they're playin... makes me sleepy... i NEED food... NOW!

em: on 2nd tots, i can fit in some camwhoring 1st :P

5 yrs later! (figuratively speaking)

DINNER is SERVED!
looks good eh?
that's cause i didnt take the back of the bread...
it was BURNT beyond edibility! seriously... the nice part of the bread (the one u're looking at) tasted BITTER... :(

everybody discussing: WHAT happened to the bread la???
somebody: aiyo! no mood d la!

somebody: eat marshmallows only la!

hehe! the final dialogues were soO not true! we still had lamb, chicken and MASHED POTATOES!!! which were my FAVORITE! Jo... can u make me MORE??? *puppy dog eyes*

i likee this pic! we look soO happy! =)

ART

EXAMS are OVER!!! *hip hip HOOrAY!*

on Mon nite itself, i went to church for a YA leaders' dinner meeting with the leaders of other churches that are in the neighborhood (of PJ)

after that, my antiques and i went to TEAR DOWN the Old Town Kopitiam in Taipan :P
our yum cha sessions are the best! besides catching up, we talk about anything under the sun! :D
and yes.. we (most likely i...) have silly moments such as this...

Thanks to the MANY late nites... Dot looked quite "charn"
so i decided to put on some...

Make Up! :P (eyeliner)
(Face Powder)

all made possible with Carrere's
it's the graphic-design-drawing-pad thingy :P

cant wait for our Malacca trip!!! :D

P.A.D Affairs

altho wat u are about to read.. is pretty personal... but.. i JUST have to blog about it! :P

mom: i'm goin to Giant later...
Dot: OH! ok! buy me pantyliner ya!

usually i'll tag along... but.. due to my exams.. (which i've finished on MON!!! *woOhOo*) i stayed home to study. so i gave mom the descriptions of the pantyliner i wanted... (she buys them for me all the time... but she forgets... it's the AGE thing la :P)

so yea! mom got me the stuff... HOWEVER!!!
it was different from the one i wanted!
i opened it and...

CUTE LE??? i soO totally like it! (hence i'm adding this to the Wonders of Dot :P)

see see... compared to the one i got myself days before after running out on them. (even this has more flowers than the brand i usually use)

but the cute pantyliners came with a price la... it's RM5 more ex...
the reason mom bought them was cause... the promoter said it's at a PROMOTION price and it's NEW...

the moral of the story is... educate urself when u want to buy something.
Compare prices.. the product may be cheaper than it's original price. But when compared with other brands... the results may be otherwise.
Well of course u'll have to weigh the other factors of the product such as its quality... but since it's pantyliner we're talking about here... a good quality will do. no need of pretty packaging la :D

i dont blame mom for this... she's the BOMB when it comes to shopping for groceries...
so here's another tip: if u dont wanna be "bluffed" with words like SALES, PROMOTION. etc... SHOP MORE! cause... u'll tend to notice and know the price difference when u are familiar with the prices! shopping needs experience too u know! :P

this goes out to the guys: Dont complain when we gals take HOURS to shop... we're gaining more experience and we're trying to SAVE! (to those with girlfrens/wives... it's YOUR money we're saving! so BEAR with it! :P)

You FReAk!

hehe! that was like addressed to MYSELF :P

i was tagged by Sab (altho i wanted to do this tag when i saw it in Yue's blog... but didnt have the time :( )

Rule #1 (it's kinda like the ONLY rule unless i plan to tag other ppl... but do ppl really bother? to me it's like.. u like u do lo :D):
each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.

here goes!

#1 i never quite imagined how my wedding will be like... but i always pictured my dad singing Butterfly Kisses on that fateful day and i'll tear... *teehee* emo moment :P

#2 i have a dimple on each side of my shoulder (the back part)

#3 i like acting cause it lets me play different roles and brings my imaginations to life =)

#4 i used to tie a scarf on my head and pretended i had long hair *i can soO hear the laughter of my readers* (during pre-school and primary years k...) see... i was from a chinese primary school... we werent allowed long hair... so... *SHY*

#5 i always wanted to be a teacher when i was younger... i wrote on my cupboard and pretended that was a blackboard (i did ask my mom to get me those mini blackboards... but she said "NO" :( but i do have a white board in my room tho.. hehe!)

#6 i like lookin at my nails when they are buffed

#7 i like the feeling after i bathe (who doesnt?)

*thinks thinks*

#8 i like fixing jigsaw puzzles (but i hardly do) when i do, i cant stop (i would like a new set of jigsaws so i'll have something to do during my hols *hint*)

#9 i like Bleach! (it's a jap manga) i finished watching all the previous episodes of it in less than a month (there were like 100 over episodes)

#10 i like eating toast bread with butter and garlic *yum* for supper... i can have like 5 slices of bread *lalala*

#11 i wanna have a cartoon character of myself! or maybe play the voice of a cartoon character la :D

#12 i think i have a phobia of driving... *sobs* how to drive my volkswagen beetle then??

#13 i wish i could play the piano or be a bellerina

#14 despite the fear of the pains of pregnancy... u know.. the stories u hear from teachers and ur mom on what she went thru to bring more pain to her life... *oops* i'm a good kid k! :P but yea.. despite that... i have moments where i would wanna be a mother.. one of them's when i play with the oh-so-cute baby next door and the other would be when i see the kids perform on mother's day! i always tear when i think how proud their moms would be cause i sure am proud of them! =)

#15 shopping is quite a dread for me cause there's just so much to choose from and money is a limiting factor! *roar* but i still prefer spending on food :D ALTHO THAT BEING SAID... i wouldnt mind an ALL EXPENSES paid shopping spree la... (like the ones with my parents *MUAHAHAHAHA*)
