Yesss!! Got all my Midterms out of the way and now, it’s time to CELEBRATE!!

Also, Phillip is down to visit all the way from Aussie, so more reason to party it up!

Things are definitely looking up

Weather’s turning super nice… In fact, I just got home from a morning/noon of SAILING and it was awesome– much gratitude to Phil for making it happen And with this continuition of great weather, more barbecues & definitely bigger mood for partying to happen!

(The only downside is I’d probably be flunking my courses… but we’ll deal with that later, it’s SUMMER!! Haha)

Anyway—

Clubbing @ Caprice (26th of June, 2009)

First, introductions:

With Phil!

With Rose & Kaitlin.

With Kevin… the very rare pics he isn’t doing a retarded face, lol.

Sarah, Jacob & Me.

Jay, Angela, Me & Shawn.

And it goes downhill from here:

Oh, wait. There’s Erin on Shawn’s left.

Crazy Phil.

No points for guessing who doesn’t quite fit in.

The boys <3 each other.

And so do the girls.

The ladieeesss.

The mennnn.

Wheee.

Smooch.

It’s a wild, wild night.

Peace out +)

Who would think accidentally vacuuming  up your MacBook adapter would cause a $150 damage to your wallet?

Who would even stupidly vacuum their MacBook adapter???

Yeah. ME. The clumsy git.

First, my iPhone and now my MacBook’s adapter? I am destroying all things Apple.

As it is, I already poured coke all over my keyboard… so I can count out my MacBook from any harm…

*crosses fingers*

But that leaves my iPod 0_o

I fear for it’s safety. I am seriously getting extremely paranoid.

Just feel like the world’s turning against  me.

I just received my Midterm marks for Stats II & Manegerial Accounting and needless to say, my heart just broke into a ga-jillion pieces if not more.

I canNOT slack any further. Gargh, it’s really just my own fault for slacking in the first place thinking it’d be a piece of cake & yada yada yada…

But there really is no point crying over spilt milk (although it does feel good to cry sometimes).

Okay! I need to leave all this bad luck crap behind.

It’s a Friday night and I am going to party at one of my favourite clubs in Vancouver.

It’s time to really let go & breathe in the new fresh air.

CAPRICE; HERE I COME.

The King of Pop

Never knew he wouldn’t make it past 50.

Always figured he’d be one of those toughies that stuck around forever.

But well, if you don’t die young, you don’t become a legend or an epic history.

See, if Michael went earlier–as did Elvis; smart fella–, he wouldn’t have been known for his child molestations or his unreliable nose.

I guess before too much damage has been caused, better now than later….

Still, it’s sad to see the King of Pop go.

Let this be a lesson to all of us!

Life is so fragile.

Cardiac arrest is a scary, scary thing.

Healthy living!

Time to quit smoking, drinking, drugs, and start eating healthy if you want to make it past 50.

Stop abusing the wonderful God-given body of yours.

Hopefully this message might somehow influence SOMEone at the very least :/ …

ANYWAY!

Rest in peace, Michael. It’s been a good one.

The night I should have been home either sleeping or studying—

Clubbing @ Modern (12th of June, 2009)

Rose & I.. and our first drinks.

With the fabbbbuuulous and not-gay-at-all-Richmond ;D I love teasing him.

Jacob, Shawnster (a.k.a Kidnapper), Me & Natalie.

Shawn & the ladies.

Playboy.

Drink #2… a.k.a last drink of the night, haha. For me, that is. They’ve only just begun or barely even while I’m pretty much done.

Rockin’ out the dance floor!

Haha! Obviously everyone had more to drink than I thought ;p

With J-dog.

With the J’s: Jacob & Jessica.

K-smooth with unidentifiable liquid spots on his fancy dress pants.

Kevin just hit realization that he had a skinny on. Dohhhh.

Gonzos.

Party, party, party! And there’s your ultimate random on the far left of the pic. Hahaha! Which is why I love this shot.

Not beneficial and ate my productivity up but pretty good nonetheless!

My Midterms are done but for some peculiar reason, I feel no relief.

In fact, I feel like… really, quite frustrated >:/

Urgh.

Well, no point venting… It’s my own fault anyway.

Back to more cheerful things—

Ginger Sixty-Two (5th of June, 2009)

Richmond, Me, Jay & Shawnster.

With K-Smooth.

With Bradster.

The nose thing. I absolutely hate it when Jay does the nose thing. He’d talk to me with his nose flared up like it’s stuck that way -_-

With Hikaru.

Ginger Sixty-Two is actually a pretty glam place. I quite liked it!

Movie Review

Drag Me to Hell

That’s exactly what I was thinking when I was watching this movie. It was so retarded that it was actually funny. You should just watch it to catch the scene where the main chick (blondie up there) goes AT IT with a grandma for a good 10 minutes. It was HILARIOUS.

Reference: (I did not leave the cinema though but I wasn’t bored that I almost slept)

Brilliant! A Must-See!
Exceed Expectations. Two Thumbs Up!
Satisfactory. Enjoyable.
Mediocre. Very Average.
Bored to Tears. Almost Slept.
Functionally Retarded. Left Cinema.

Up

I don’t know if it was because it was my first 3D movie or if it was because I watched it right after I watched the downer movie up there, but I LOVED this movie. Every single bit of it. Disney Pixar has yet to let me down. It’s such a sweet, touching, funny, happy movie and it makes you feel really good after GENIUS.

Epitome of Contradiction right there. Pffft.

How do Midterms feel so stressful?

I’ll tell you how.

When you have them back-to-back on a FRIDAY (TGIF pffft) and when you discover that you have ANOTHER Midterm a couple of days prior… LESS than a week before.

Doesn’t help that your buddy (*COUGH* SHAWN CHOW *COUGH*) literally kidnaps you out of your own house and drags to to go clubbing… and THEN, you go camping 2 hours after you’ve returned from a crazy night out.

THEN (it’s not done yet), you get lazy and eat & sleep and barely study for the Business Ethics Midterm (who practices ethics in business ANYWAY??) and then regretting it later and realization hits that if you don’t do well, you might ACTUALLY fail and you’d be in a lot of crap because you want to graduate quick and failing a course is not an ideal situation to put yourself in and….. but you can’t quite worry about that yet because you need to focus on the two annoying back-to-back Midterms that’s coming up in 36 hours.

And THAT’S how Midterm week suddenly feels so stressful.

Doesn’t help that after this week, there is SOOOO much to do that you shouldn’t think about because you need to freaking finish those two stupid Midterms FIRST.

Holy smokes, I think too much.

Took my mind off by browsing through pictures I vaguely remember getting taken last Friday night, in which I should NOT have went clubbing because I SHOULD have been home studying and getting sleep so I wouldn’t be sleeping in my tent for the whole morning while out camping :/

Richmond & I.

Just so you know, his name is not REALLY Richmond. Richmond is just where he lives…

Richmond; rockin’ the dance floor. He has super bumpin’ moves. And a slice of me on the right

I spotted myself behind the lubricious couple, haha.

I even had a close-up!

Man, I sure was popular, hoho.

I look like a complete geek, kind of embarrassing but who caressss! I have no shame.

Time to tackle those the back-to-backerssss. Will be back with updates!

…. It is 4.44am.

Approximately 19 hours earlier, I had to sit through a six hour lecture on a FRIDAY.

I just got home from clubbing & supper.

I have 3 midterms next week… 2 of which are on the same day, back-to-back. In which 2, are Statistics II and Managerial Accounting.

I am going to attempt to wake up in 2 and the half hours to go camping for the weekend.

I am awesome.

And highly delusional from lack of sleep.

Before I get into more on dodgeball, I felt the need to exclaim to the world what a complete butter-fingered knucklehead I am.

I can put up with a whole lot of klutziness; knocking myself all over & planting my limbs with bruises every other day, cutting myself while chopping, knocking things over and spilling drinks, splattering myself with food especially on days I wear white…

But why, oh, why, knowing so very well what a idiot butter-fingered doofus I am, did I not get a super case for my extremely fragile iPhone?????

WHY????????

Now, look what I’ve done

It puts Jean’s hairline cracks to SHAME, I tell ya. It’s the new trend. You all should start cracking up your iPhone screens. Don’t you know? Cracked iPhone screens are the new black.

I was mortified when I heard the slapping of the glass (or whatever stupid fragile material Apple uses for the iPhone’s touch screen) and my heart literally stopped beating when I saw the splash of spider web cracks strewn across my precious screen.

The only upside I have is that for some miraculous reason, it still works perfectly fine…

I’m crossing my fingers until they sprain hoping that Apple can fix it I refuse to spend another $500 for another iPhone.

GARGH!!

On a happier note, us Porkers who did so well in the Coquitlam Dodgeball League, qualified for the Champions League between Vancouver and Coquitlam Dodgeball Leagues!

The Champion’s League (30th of May, 2009)

Warmin’ up.

The other top teams of the Coquitlam Dodgeball League; TMNT (Teen Mutant Ninja Turtles), there’s a member from Yellow Feva, and a couple from Duck Duck Pook. Hard core.

Me mates from Pork

Le monkeys.

“We’re sweeeeeet, we’re sourrrrrrr, what are we????? PORKKKKKK!!!” Look at Richmond go!

Go Pork!

Shawn’s crazy overhand throw!

Our lightning fast start.

Now I know how I’d look like with a demented hand.

“THROW TOGETHER!!” This was probably the extremely rare times we actually followed that direction.

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.”

Pretty awesome dodges by Peter Mi.

The lost piglet.

My super awesome underhand throw. Bwahah, softball baybeh!

Always ending with good spirits Eventhough we got kicked out so fast we didn’t even know what hit us…

But it was fun while it lasted

L-R: Shawn, Me, Kaitlin, Kirsten, Lawrence, Kevin, Tommy, Peter.

Porkers fo’ life

…went wild with board games, booze & a bunch of crazies!

Watch as the pictures go from decent to farcical as booze gets involved–

Dinner @ De Mario’s & Games Night @ Kaitlin’s

Had dinner with Kaitlin, Lawrence & Shawn.

With Shawny boy.

Shawn & the calamari. Was really good calamari! Squids were tender and not chewy like the ones we normally get in Malaysia.

Law & his spaghetti carbonara.

Kaitlin with her all-vegan spaghetti dish. That woman has SOME will power. I would die without dairy & meat -_-

My penne dish in which name I forgot. Just tomatoes and minced meat; it was good but nothing incredibly special.

Group picture

After dropping by to pick up some grub and booze, it was off to Kaitlin’s!

Lindsay, Lawrence & the ultra-cool block of star-shaped ice! And Richmond making his silly face as always.

And the party beginssss!

Chips & salsa.. and a visually unappealing Kevin… seriously, I don’t think he is capable of taking a NORMAL picture.

We start off clean… just an innocent game of Jenga.

Kaitlin, some retard, and Me. Hahahaha.

Shawn & Lindsay.

Samantha, Shawn, Rose & Lawrence.

From here onwards, things started going downhill once the drinking game started.

They started off with leg exercises…

I don’t know why they did… people do strange things when alcohol runs in their system.

And then, they moved on to yoga?

….

Drunkie #1 doin’ a scorpoin and drunkie #2 pinching drunkie #1’s tummy.

Admittedly, I was pretty drunkie meself. Brad was surprisingly sober though! Haha, poor boy had to see us lousy Asians unable to hold our liquor.

Taking a break from their yoga exercises.

Group picture (taken BEFORE pulling booze-related stunts)!!

Was an awesome night of laughs + crazies + drunkies + truckloads of fun!

Found a place that serves RIBENA ;p

Didn’t think anywhere in Vancouver would have it (none of my friends here have a clue what Ribena is– I know, how could anyone NOT know what Ribena is? I mean, Ribena + Sprite is about the best drink in the world!) but they had it at Party World!

Karaoke @ Party World (15th of May, 2009)

L-R: Cherry, Lawrence, Lorena, Shawn, & Brad.

Lawrence & Lorena.

Richmond joins in not too long after—- CLEAN SHAVEN, GASP!! He doesn’t look like a hobo anymore, yay.

Lawrence, Me, Cherry, Shawn & Lorena.

Bradster.

My partner in Karaoke crimeeee!

??

The ladies.

Shawn Patriotic Chow. It just looks as though the Canadian anthem is playing or something.

Richmond; rockin’ the mic.

The chio-pose by Lawrence Lam, lol.

The naughty (unrealized) but wannabe kawaii pose.

Possibly the only white person in the entire building, haha! We have converted him.

I can’t tell who’s enjoying it more…

All laughs

Can’t recall what we were all laughin’ about though…

I do believe Spice Girls were playing at this point, though!

With Lorena.

The redneck takes the lead ;p

Mic hogger, tee hee.

The Asian Crew

Awesome times!

Movie Reviews

Been behind on the reviews so I just piled ‘em all up.

It’s gonna be short & sweet because I haven’t got time to elaborate!

Ghost of Girlfriends Past

Jennifer Garner is certainly a lovable character always but nevertheless, it was not enough to save this movie. Hands down, one of the lamest most cliche unfeel-good chick flicks I’ve seen in a long time. Far too predictable and a big YAWN!

Star Trek

Always thought the episodes were lame & ultimately geekified (no offense to those crazy fans out there… but all the mumbo jumbo weird half-alien half-physics/mechanics talk is not the easiest to follow) but as expected, the movie was great! Liked every part of it and thought the stunts was good and the storyline was pretty exciting as well. It’s weird to see Sylar in a China-bowl haircut but… he did a great job being Spark; the extremely rational creature thing… ANYWAY, he suits the role pretty well. All in all, great movie, I liked every bit of it.

Terminator: Salvation

According to Ju who saw E! Entertainment, Night at the Museum had better reviews than T4?? I could barely sit through the trailer for Night at the Museum but I didn’t think T4 was THAAAAT horrid. I mean, the storyline could’ve been written by a 6 year-old, but the action was pretty stimulating! I’m personally not an action movie person but cinematography does attract awhole lot of my attention and I must say, this movie’s cinematography was pretty fantastic. When it comes down to it though, it’s a one-time kinda movie.

Angels & Demons

I thought the Da Vinci Code (the movie) was a total bummer but surprisingly, I liked Angels & Demons. I really liked the book (kept me at the edge of my seat) and the movie was pretty close to the novel (there were a few changes they made.. not bad though!) so… I kinda enjoyed it! It’s hard to grade a movie which book you already read but… I’m gonna go with, I liked it.
