So I finally did it. After such a long time of secretly wanting to have that kinda hair. Yeah... I did something to my hair that I have always said I wouldn't. It was supposed to be a trip to Wei Wei's new salon for just a haircut. Btw, Wei Wei's my hairstylist. She works magic into my crowning glory. Muahahaha... Back to the hair. When she suggested I curl it to look better while I grow my hair, I said to myself, "What the hell... Might as well lah". So say hello to the newly curly-haired Ashley for the year 2007. 
Do I look like your Japanese fantasy? Lol. I'm never kawaii enough for that. And since my curls are nothing even close to Beyonce's waves, I'm not your bootylicious fantasy either. This is just... I dunno. Maybe a new start for a new year. And a way out from my constant bad hair days too.About the new year... While everyone else is busy getting ready for rave parties, countdowns, one-night-stands and everything else that chalks up the sales of condoms, I'm lazing around at home. Lazy wanna go out. To think about it, it's been a few years since I've been out for countdown celebrations. Actually I've just woke up after sunset. It feels so damn good after a really long sleep. More than 12 hours. Yum! But I did go out with two good friends last night. Had dinner at Souled Out. It was nothing much, but deeply felt. Hope we'll have more eat-outs together in the future. Ate Sake San again. I mean, who could resist that fine piece of oriental pizza? And we had the stuffed tofu puff, and ordered the caramel pudding for desserts. The pudding was so nice! But sure damn fattening lar. Nevermind... I slept all day and haven't eaten anything yet. So that's good enough compensation ;)
Since I'm still undecided about whether I'll have a good new year, I'm gonna let myself deal with it. You guys go out and have a good one. I think ultimately we all will.
Now I see what all the fuss is about. Damn hillarious... Only if you can stand all the obscenities and degrading jokes. But Borat's mostly making fun of Americans, so what the hell do I care?
P/S: Deb, he made fun of iPod Mini too :p
I'm not sure who I should apologize to. Probably most to myself. But I can't help but sink into the miserable pool of doom. I thought everything was gonna be fine from now on. But my worries have skyrocketed, since I was bitchslapped in the face by the cold, hard hands of reality. Other people have fear of heights, fear of spiders, fear of dark places, fear of homosexuals... They make me seem so weird to me. What's with my OCD with uncertainty? It's driving me crazy *shrughs* Guess I still haven't grown up after all. Still am that scared little girl, afraid of moving on to a new place. While I'm soaking up the tricklings of depression, the devilish temptation of alcohol-binging is slowly taking over me. That's the negative result of having bottles of whiskeys stashed around the house. Within children's reach sumore! Have also been looking at video clips from uni days. Aaahh... Those golden days seem so far gone now, when in fact the end came only less than a month ago. I miss being around my friends. I miss the carefree days. I miss laughing my head off, without being judged, without being worried of being judged. I will very much soon miss the freedom of wearing absolutely anything over my back (and ass). But I'm questioning myself; Is it too much to ask for?
Can I not grow up?
Well, I don't mind growing taller, or my boobs growing a cup's size or two, but... Can I not be an adult?
It feels so forced each time.
The subconcious mind really does try to tell us something. Mine's probably trying helluva lot to just yell and make me listen "WAKE UPPPP!!!"
'Cause I find me singing myself to sleep with this song,
The song just hits me like a cold surge of water, splashed right onto my face. But then again, it only makes me sadder. I just wish 2007 can come sooner so I won't be as depressed and can move along. 'Cause by then, I won't have any much of a choice.
What the fuck is this? Oh, so now we don't live on trees, but we have kid-torturing sweatshops?? Man, I'm so over this website. Btw, Perez rules. You guys suck like RM1 cocksuckers. FIY, RM means Ringgit Malaysia, the currency for this sweaty shop country.
Just got news that a friend will be getting hitched next year. Hopefully not on my birthday. But then again, it's her right. I just have to show up with an angpow. She's the first I know to get married. Unless someone suddenly cuts queue and beats her to it. I guess my depression will only start kicking in when more friends go down the aisle.Is my mom hinting that I should end my bachelorette days? It's not my fault, you know? It's those damn pricks out there who don't realize what they're missing! Shouldn't have told her about Kris' good news. But it's too much of a good news to be kept away. It's awesome!! The best part? Her boyfriend proposed onstage at a concert on Christmas eve. Can a girl get anymore luckier than that? God, I feel jealous. Yes... I terribly am. Oh what the hell. I'll be man-hunting while working next year. That's one more week. I wish I could sound less desperate. But the pressure I'm getting these days, it's overwhleming. Lol. I guess I'll just have to see what life has to offer and roll onto my lap. Must.not.get.desperate. All the recent fantasies invloving male VJs aren't helping either. Only makes my hormones rage worse. Bye people. Need to go on my mental date with them VJs. Goodnight!
Spent the eve of Christmas day with my PESS sisters... To make the long story short, we took a long time to decide on where to go, and when we finally did, the place was full. So we had to wait on tables. Geram... But its ok. Had a really nice meal, chatted damn a lot and of course, camwhored. Oh... The place we went was Milwaukee Steakhouse.
My kedondong juice. Damn nice. My stomach's damn full 'cause of it now They gave out party packs to all the kids in the house, and some to the adults as well. Our table only got two packs, when there were six of us. Damn kiam siap rite? They had a whole gunny sack kept behind the counter... Still don't wanna give 'em out even though it was nearly 12 midnight. Bloody hell. Where's the spirit of giving? So we had to share the masks and hats for camwhoring purposes :p Ooh... And I saw that guy I used to have a crush on back in TARC. Actually this wasn't the first time I saw him. There was another time while I was interning in ACP. But same thing la... I don't have the nerves to talk to people. Let alone those I used to have a crush on. Can't recall his name. But I remember how Jasmine tried to get his number for me, but ending up giving my number to him instead. We did meet up once, but then I figured out he was such a malewhore. Btw, he doesn't look good now. Anyhoo, I reckon world peace would never be achieved, at least anytime soon. So I just wish everyone a good health, and be granted opportunities that they'll cherish. XoOxOxoOXxOoXoOxxOXO
I'm glad it doesn't snow in Malaysia. I bet it'll look very beautiful if it did, but I can't stand the chill. I'm a warm-blooded animal. So don't expect me to go vacationing to Aspen during winter season anytime soon. No amount of fur coat could keep me warm. I'd be stuck in a house with the heater cranked up to summer's heat. But what if I'd have to marry an angmoh one day? Die lor... Whatever. He'll have to live here or buy me a beach house at the O.C.
Haha... Anyway, have a wonderful holiday and spread the joy, people! 
P/S: I know I'll work damn hard to have one.
Brilliant movie! What can I say? Samuel L. Jackson + Julianne Moore... There's no doubt about it being a great watch. Kinda reminds me of the Susan Smith case, where the lady accuses a black male of killing her children, when in fact she did it. Another example of how sick the society can be. But it was heartwarming to watch the people working together, trying to help find the kid. Keeps the balance in check.I just hope every child in the world gets sane parents... Mine probably tried their best to be. Not bad lah.
One for coming this close to submitting my thesis.And one more for finally being out of the unemployment stats. Yup... I've just been confirmed this morning. Couldn't stop laughing like an idiot for a minute after I got the call. Mom was looking at me strange, but she knows her daughter well. Understanding eldest brother wants me to take everyone out for a buffet at Starhill. Memang talak otak. Haven't even start working, where got money go Starhill? Even after work, must save money ma. Hehe... Fine. I'll think of something.
Today's train ride seemed a lil' strange. I feel like dancing, shaking my ass like how Napoleon Dynamite did. Tippity-tapping my feet just like Mumble Happy Feet. But I wouldn't risk doing that on the train and forever be banned from the society, would I? This is the perfect illustration of my day:
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around me...
Haha!!
Since I'm gonna start climbing the corporate ladder soon, might as well dress like I'm ready for it. Bought a pair of slacks from MaNGo. Shopping for work clothes is really hard. It's like trying to buy an entirely fashionable uniform for work. And it's stressful to my wallet.
Christmas is just sneaking right at the corner, waiting to pounce up on us all. Think I'm gonna go have fun selling those goddamn sprays. And I can't wait for the 30th to come. Seafood... Yum yum!! With my dearest Abby and Danny. I'll be damned if we get lost going to Kuala Selangor. Don't wanna end up being a couple of bodohs.
Just realised there are lots of girl bloggers out there who are very much into the colour pink as myself. Our blogs are similarly painted with the divinely sweet hues of pink, sending a message of girly-ness. Should I just break out of it by splashing my blog with the darkness of black and get rid of the sugar and spice? I've thought about it... And I can't bring myself to do it. I love the colour too much. Flashbacks of how I used to buy everything in pink, and dress up in pink clothes and pink shoes, carrying a pink bag and file are playing in my mind right now. Can't help it. All my stuff were in pink. I don't do it now. I'm growing out of it. But it's still my favourite colour. Or else why would I pinky-fy my blog to this extent? Well at least I'm proud of who I am. I don't own the colour, but I very much would like to. Did you know that we've been living in a pink palace for 9 months straight even before we were born? Yup, our mommies' placentas were pink. There was no place for us to run or hide then. So we either end up loving it, or sick of it once we're born.
Sweetness...
I had wanted to watch this just 'cause of its plot outline. I thought a movie based on real life stories would be a break from the usual staples I have. Never expected it to be so shocking... So disturbing. It's not entirely disturbing from the beginning to the end, but when some scenes get horrid, it made me squirm in my seat. To make things worse, I was already having a gastric attack while watching.
When the movie just started, I didn't recognize Laura Prepon. Right before she spoke her first lines, I realized she was the girl from 'That's 70's Show'. She looked so different with blonde hair and weight loss. But when she started to talk, the deep, husky voice was unmistakable.
You think your marriage is on the rocks? You should take a look at these crazy people. Seriously disturbed individuals, perfectly paired together. One is a serial rapist, and another is in love with him. How mentally sick can they get? They make all the odd couples in the world suddenly seem so normal.
Googled about the characters in the movie, and found out that the story's actually much more elaborate than what was featured in the movie. But the essentials were captured on celluloid. You'd still be able to tell how mentally disturbed these people are.
There's a point where Bernando was looking very much like a Kurt Cobain wannabe. I was wondering what the stylists were thinking about. The best bit? Check put pre-Superman Brandon Routh. You'd most likely not miss his appearance. It's kinda funny to see him like that though. This movie came just a little while before Superman Returns. So it doesn't do Routh much justice.
If you have to ask, I'd say it's a pretty challenging movie to watch. Makes you wonder about the sickos of the society, and how vulnerable victims become. Why girls need to walk around with pepper sprays or alarms in their hands, why kids need curfews and why we shouldn't travel alone, especially at night. Sad world we live in, isn't it?
Check out what my brother bought from India *turns head* Tsk tsk tsk... Found them (Yesh, he bought loads) while cleaning his room.
The Chaos theory. Hmmm... Sounds interesting. Why didn't they ever teach us things like this while in school? Would've been more beneficial than having to sit through 2 torturing hours of Advanced Communication Theory classes. I wouldn't be wrong to say it's not the subject's fault. It's whoever's attempting to teach it.
Anyhoo, won't be saying too much about the movie, lest I spoil it for those who'd wanna watch. The best bit comes after finding out who the real baddie was. And as always, with all the man candy, my mind drifts to a faraway land even while watching. A land where Jason StatHAM is mine... All mine. Mmm... I'd like a piece of that juicy meat. Ryan Phillippe is not too bad either, but he looks like such a puss standing next to Jason Statham. They look like they'd make a cute gay couple. Ryan could be Jason's bitch. So do I wanna be Ryan then? No. I want them both as my biatches. Heheh...
Watched 'Eragon' with Kuan Yee yesterday... And I want my own dragon. So I can feed her with fat ass rats, and then ride her into the skies. Can ask her to burn my enemies to crisp flakes as well. What should I name my dragon? I know... Pink monster!! Nah... That's probably a bad idea.
Look at this little fella. So small, pink and cute. It even has those flowery keychain things hanging on it. (I'm sorry... It came like that. I didn't hook those things there). But don't be fooled! It's lethal. Well, at least it's supposed to be. Haven't tested it yet. Hope I don't ever have to.
In case you don't have a clue... It's a pepper spray.
Finally had the chance to shop and eat away my accumulated stress. I'm not broke... Yet. Well, at least I try not to be. I look like I'm 3 months pregnant now. Too much good food in a day.
Posting pics of what I bought? You think it's lame? Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about your thoughts, and I'm only doing it 'cause I told someone I'd post the pics to let her see what I bought :p I need more working clothes. Hopefully someone hires me real quick so I can earn money to buy some decent looking ones.
Every person that I've brought to Dragon-i has been hooked. So Kuan Yee wanted to have lunch there. The souffle was heavenly. When I put it into my mouth, I was immediately in yummy heaven. It had the perfect combination of egg white, red bean paste and banana. You just gotta try it yourself. It's sooooo damn good, that I actually wanna marry the man who made it. If a man made it la... The noodles were pretty good too.
Look at the amount of food we ordered at Bangsar. How not to get fat liddat? Sumore loaded with cheese, sugar, etc, etc. I dunno the name of the place, so I'm just gonna call it "Kulfi place" for the moment. I'm a newbie at Indian food, so Deb, Darshini and Harwin were kind enough to introduce delicious, new dishes to me. But not kind for long! Especially Deb... So evil! Tried to make fun of me with my masala tea. Hmph! Just 'cause she buat malu for her first time... Now wanna take it out on me la *bluek* Everything was so delicious, that even the fake vegetarian chicken tastes like chicken. Serious!Wuah... Stomach damn full now. Damn it gotta really work 'em off tomorrow. Hula-hooping is officially declared as the activity of the day!
Just caught an episode of 'No Reservations', and cool Mister Tony Bourdain was in Uzbekistan. The Muslims there were drinking vodka like plain water. Now that's gangsta...
Detained frozen turkeys allowed inPORT KLANG: Revellers can rest assured there will be turkeys, roasted and baked, for Christmas. A container filled with 16,953kg of frozen turkeys which was “detained” at the port here when it arrived from the United States on Dec 10 was released on Tuesday night. The Star reader, Joyce Lim from Kuala Lumpur, had complained that she could not buy turkeys in Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. Lim was informed by the suppliers that the turkeys were still sitting inside containers in Port Klang because turkeys had been classified as non-halal food and some “complications” had arisen. Selangor Islamic Department (Jais) public relations officer Fakrul Azam Yahya said the department was aware that a container of turkeys had been detained at the port. “It was due to some technicalities, but the issue has been resolved. In fact, the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) had earlier issued a directive allowing for the fast clearance of imported turkeys especially for Christmas," he said. “We understand the birds are very much in demand during Christmas. The only requirement we wanted from the companies was for them to honestly declare whether the turkeys were halal or otherwise.” He added that the declaration was important because turkeys were consumed by Muslims as well. Fakrul confirmed that the container of turkeys from America was not halal. “There’s no problem with that. Just make the declaration and the turkeys will be allowed in,” said Fakrul. A port source said the container was detained on Dec 10 because there was some vagueness over the status of the turkeys. Operators of supermarkets, hotels and restaurants assured customers that there would be turkey for their Christmas dinners. Carrefour said it has no problem with its turkey supply, while Shangri-la Hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Victoria Station restaurant said there would be turkey for their Christmas buffets as well as to order. Source: http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/12/14/nation/16313353&sec=nationAshley says: If some people cannot eat non-halal turkeys, then don't stop others who can, from enjoying their Christmas dinner la!
Passed both the goddamn papers. And I'm thankful. So there's one less reason for me not to fall asleep at night. But the list of pains in my ass is still pretty long. So I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. You guys should as well!
