The malang-ness that is of Junee Y.

This year alone, I... :

• had my phone stolen at work
• had my wallet stolen the next day with my new phone sim card in it
• misplaced my brother's camera and somebody took it
• found out somebody did a hit-and-run with my car when I went to class
• lost my organizer which contains practically my life schedules.

I think God is up there laughing at me. Dear god, please be nice to me. Let me "accidentally" find a camera and/or phone. Please let my organizer come back to me. I am so lost without my organizer!!! My assignments are all in there, okay. My class schedule, my lecturers contact number, etc. I NEED IT BACK BADLY. Feel so lost without it!

Life in pictures.

So yes, when I lack blog updates, I make up in pictures. I'll try to keep it as small as possible. Things such as a wedding, a Californian psycho, and small & private house partay!

Lieza's Wedding

My friend Lieza (when we worked together at Topshop) was getting married in some area really hard to find. She looked absolutely pretty. Felt kind of jealous yet happy for her =)


On the way. Yes, me make-up skill is not that impressive.


She looks like a Malay princess, kan?


Yes folks, it was really hot.

It was really hot and humid that day, I'm amazed that she managed to stay cool above it all. I was sweating so much. Some drugged out guy was sitting across me, I don't know where he came from, he was really out of it D= That was kind of scary to see the impact of drugs.



This is Raudhah



Hahaha this picture still makes me crack up. This girl is Raudhah, she's studying in California and she was on term holidays. So Raudhy decided to surprise her parents by ambushing them with an unannounced visit, and me and my bf picked her up from KL Sentral.


I wanted to get some Krispy Kreme for my mom, so we went there and Raudhy got crazy because she sees this stuff almost every day. Om nom nom.


So sweet and sinful!


She's just excited from the prospect of being in KL and having Malaysian food.


The guy in the back looking straight at the camera kept smiling and posing behind Raudhy, so here's to you, Krispy Kreme baker boy!


I don't know how Raudhy has like 32137829 facial expressions!


So I decided to join her.


Sending Raudhy back to surprise her mom. That blue bag in the back is her luggage. It took up an entire seat!



Monkeys invaded my house!

People tend to drop by my house, for foods, or food shisha, or just for the view. The balcony is up for claims almost every night.


The right is an example of a chimpanzee.


The guy on the left looks scary but he's really nice =P He has a crush on my girlfriend.


Chimpanzees can play cards too!


Lol scary guy with his rebonded hair.


Burn enjoying the hookah.



Rasta nights.

Rasta. Overpriced food and drinks. Overpriced hookah. Yet many people go there, it's the "place to be seen". Hot chicks are an abundance here, in maxi dresses, short shorts, and guys have a tendency of wearing trucker caps, a Roxy/Billabong shirt, and checkered Bermudas + expensive colourful shoes. There's also senior people here, they relax to super-expensive coffee. It's a nice place to relax in though, when at nights it's cold and the cool wind breezes through all the time.


Me and Teha, an old friend. We go way back. Eeee smudgy eyeliner!


This is Syaq, she's so cute and petite! Hahah she was supposed to be in her dorm, "studying", and her parents came to check up on her that night -_- Thank God my house is around the area, we managed to sneak back and told them she was staying over my place to "study" =P I feel so bad.


My dorky bf with his afro hair... he finally cut it a few days later..


Yes, we tend to spend our nights hookah and play cards!


Syaq sniggering to herself.

Eh there's more pictures but I can't load them all into this post. Until then.

Rock climbing!

Last Thursday, I finally got over my fear of gayat (heights) by rock-climbing at Camp5, where my boyfriend works. I'm still nauseous at the thought of climbing 8 meter high walls, but it was fun and challenging! Pictures describes it better!


My warm up exercise. Was scary at first!


Chunky thighs climbing.


My boyfriend traversing like a cicak (gecko house lizard).


Sentinel wall, it's 26 m (I think) high. I got halfway up and got tired, ha.

I made the mistake of climbing the sentinel wall three hours after rock climbing. It was so frustrating to wanting to climb more, but my fingers were blistered and my palm was sweaty. Burn (another worker) asked me to go with a bunch of people to climb at Batu Caves the next day, because he was doing a BBQ as well. Reluctantly I agreed...


The stupid jam on the way. It was a Friday morning and good God I don't think I have the patience to drive through KL from my house if I had a regular 9-5 office job o_o


3 other hitchhikers. 3 single guys all stuck together.


We stopped to buy chicken for the BBQ on the way.. the chickens were still alive when we came. Super fresh.


Danial H. admiring Desmond's gadget. Set him back way over RM 10K!


Syazzy taking a picture of me taking a picture of him.


The spectacular sight that greeted us!


There were already some people doing lead and top rope.


Noel, super climber with endless carabiners.


Me and my bf helping Burn to chop garlic with swiss army knives and pound them with a rock lol.


Burn's on my right. My bf with his new geeky hairdo.


Can you see the huge ass boulder? It seems like it will topple and crush us any time soon.


See the size comparison to Noel!


I think this is the 20+ meter rope. Twing.


The bf climbing in jeans, no less.


The guys seems to like wondering around topless.


Noel sunbathes and Nick looks on.


Obligatory shot. I have rabbit teeth!


Oya and some guy bbq-ing the 12 kg of fresh chicken!


Mmm.. chicken.

There wasn't enough time/harness/routes for me to do the rock climbing and honestly, I confess that I think I was trying to put it off. It doesn't look huge in the pictures, but the caves are horrifyingly high and gigantic, and I'd like to practice a wee bit more before I try to conquer the rough terrains. I want to keep doing this, but Camp5's cost are too pricey (RM 30++ including harness and shoes) for me so I'll try out at Shah Alam or Wangsa Maju.

If you haven't done rock climbing you should try it out. It's free for first timers (Camp5).

Sad.

I was watching Kill Bill 1 and 2 the other day (marathon!) and afterwards I was surfing the net when I read the news that David Carradine was found dead. I am sure many movie buffs are aware of the actor's death, and probably more towards the unusual way he died.

Thai police told the BBC a hotel maid found the 72-year-old naked in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body... Thai newspaper The Nation reported that police believe the actor took his own life, and preliminary investigations found that he hanged himself. [source]

Police believe Carradine, 72, died of accidental suffocation after attempting auto erotic asphyxiation – a sex game where participants derive pleasure from being partially strangled. [source]

I remember watching him in Kung Fu (movie), Martial Law, Alias, Big Stan and Epic Movie! Man. It's just kind of eerie that I would watch Kill Bill and find out about the news later. If he did die from the autoeroticasphyxiation - in my opinion, nothing wrong with doing whatever that gets your jollies off - then all I can say is at least he died happy. Or attempting to. Rest in peace, "John Arthur" Carradine.

Thar she blows.

I went back to my kampung in Melaka on Sunday, to visit my grandfather and my cousins. How they grow! Since I last saw my cousin (5 months ago), they have grown taller and now are taller than me (compared to last time when they were up to my shoulders). And they're only 13 years old!


Me and my brother on the way to Melaka..


My naughty cousins! Forgive my face mask, eghh.


Amin. This one grows sideways, not height-length.

I was on my way back to KL from Melaka (3 hours journey by the way! Bumper-to-bumper traffic... compared to the normal 1 hour 30 minutes!) and my boyfriend called me to tell me he was invading the swimming pool at my condo.

When I arrived, this was what I found;


Tarzan man-thing.


Olymphic races where some of them swam in the opposite direction.


Maybelline model in the making.


Chimpanzees.


A real LIVE GOLDMEMBER!




Head of the monyetx2, my boyfriend.


Tarzan number 2.


Bloated walrus.

Never know what you will find in your swimming pool!

Life in pictures.

So recently.. it's all been cheap food.
Shogun (One Utama) has a promotion of 50% discount on their lunch buffets, and 30% discount on their dinner buffet. Being the cheap food connoisseurs that we are, we opted for the lunch discount. The first time we went we had to wait close to 2 hours for a table.


Shark fin's soup on the left... no shark! Teppanyaki was nice.
Don't touch the oyster! Not fresh. Blegh.


Food so good I have some on my lips!

The second time we went to Shogun, we tried to book a few days in advance... FULLY BOOKED! But walk-ins available. The guy advised to wait around 9.30 am. So that we did. We were first in line, and an hour later, this was the abominable queue..


Excuse my pose! People getting hungry and impatient.

And at 11 am the hostess started handing out numbers. Some foolish people tried to cut the queue, but those who arrived early voiced their angry concerns with WEH WEHH!


At 11.45 a.m. everybody is antsy because everybody wants to get a place...

SHOGUN I am utterly disappointed in you. How is it fully booked if 300++ people can arrive for the walk-in reservations. A group of 16 people could enter as walk-in (we haf table) but we could not reserve. The management dealt with this wrongly... the waiting crowd outside was like a mob gang waiting orders from their mob boss.

Some tips:

• Do not touch the raw stuff if you go.. it all smells and is not fresh.
• Especially the tuna.. it smells funny.
• Raw oysters are for the brave!
  
• Go there for the teppanyaki, especially lamb + the mushrooms.
• Tempura also not bad.
• The okonomiyaki very good, but it finishes fast. Ask the chef to reserve for you.
• Lamb shanks are a miss, very dry and not tender.
• Most of the drinks are too sweet + cordial. Stick to the green tea or honey green tea.
• Don't take too much of the eel, it is not to everybody's taste.
• Shark fin's soup is msg msg and msg, no vinegar! Taste some only to whet your curiosity.
• Try to eat the hot stuff first and cold stuff later; if you attack the sashimi bar first you will get nauseaus.
• Avoid most rice! The handrolls sounds nice but it was very disappointing.
• Arrive early to avoid disappointment.

ALAS the promotion finished yesterday but those wanting to try the buffet can still follow these guidelines. More pictures will be posted.. when I get them from Sha.

RANDOMNESS

At the "Monsters & Dinosaurs" Expo in Mid Valley... Disappointing to say the least.


Some giant spiders in the background.


A kopiah-wearing dinosaur.

The labels were all weird.. according to the signs + posters, the t-rex "probably" lived in a forest. Crowd management control was zero, the dinosaurs faulty necks and body parts were fixed with black cellotape, the "monster" in question was a giant grasshopper and a MONSTER shoe, and the dinosaurs were not that big at all.

FAIL.

stop pretending.

i have to stop wanting what i can't have.
what will never be mine.
what i never will be.
money. clothes. all that rich lifestyle.
and it sucks that you're surrounded by them.
and you pretend to be like them.
so you blow your money on all these things.
things you will only wear once.
maybe twice.
and these people use it like it's tissue.
money like it's water.
i have to stop this insane jealousy.
this green-eyed bitch of a monster.
