10 FIRSTS

First Best Friend - Jamie
She was my best buddy since the day she stole my colour pencils in Primary 1. Gosh...I miss that gal now that she is a PR in Singapore.

First Screen Name - Rain
For some mad reason, I agreed to be a bitch in my friends' screen assignment I was supposed to be the 3rd party to some BGR.

First Pet Name - Kuay Teow
My primary school teachers can never figured out that my name was pronouced as Hoay-Theen and not Kuay-Theen...my friends ended up calling me Kuay Teow after they found out I like Kuay Teow.

First Piercing - Ear Lobes
Though this was done involuntarily, I became addicted to piercing and whoa-lah, next was navel piercing in 2001. My next aim - the flesh between my collar bone.

First Crush - Aaron Kwok
This has got to be my first and craziest crush. I even had a file on him ie, biodata, photos, posters, lyrics....all sorts until my mum calls him mushroom head.

First CD - Richard Marx's Ballads
I still have that CD till today and those songs are just so evergreen.

First School - Serene Kindergarten
This kindie has 2 swimming pools and a gym for the kids. Best part, I get to order what I want to eat everyday. Talk about starting to like luxury at a young age.

First Cry
Can't really remember if excluding the dr whacking my butt when I first left my mum's womb.

First Kiss
This is highly dangerous information which should remain classified.

First Car - Satria JEH 492
My first love and I'm actually thinking of changing my current Satria to the new Satria Neo 1.6. BUT Dad thinks that it is a bad move considering Proton's current financial situation.

9 LASTS

Last Time I Smoke - 5 years old
My grandma thought it was cool for me to learn to smoke at that age so my first ciggie was a classic maroon Dunhill.

Last Food I Ate - Chicken & Mushroom Kuay Teow Soup
It looked tempting though I wanted Tom Yam but my throat is killing me so I decided to go for something mild.

Last Car Ride - From Menara Sunway
Attended a meeting in HQ and was driven back in a Lexus

Last Bubble Bath I Took - Avillion, Port Dickson in August
This was so luxurious...Bubble baths are meant to pamper all 5 senses with the beauty of softness and well-being. Mine was a rose bubble bath (complete with the candles and soft yellow lighting). I think I fell asleep in the bath tub and woke up an hour later with prunes for skin.

You Listened To - Shakira's Illegal Featuring Carlos Santana
I've been listening to this song since 7pm till now so you can imagine, I broke my own record by listening to the same song for 4 hours.

Last Words I Said - "I'll Be Fine. Please Go Home and Good Bye"
That would be what I usually say to my colleague if I am the last one in the office.

8 Have You Ever

Dated A Best Friend - Yes

And I lived to wish I never did.

Been Arrested - No lor

If you consider house-arrest, then yes because mum grounded me before for pouring Ribena on my brother's hair when I was in Primary 5.

Been On TV - Uhh...I can't remember how many times

Not like I am Hannah Tan or Camelia but I had a fair share of screen time (my cheap 5 seconds publicity) whenever media friends need a face on screen to make fill time.

Eaten Sushi - Who came up with this question?

DUH! Of course and I hate the raw taste! YUCK!

Cheated on my BF - I don't have one to cheat on

Been On A Blind Date - No

I don't even have time to be on a date, not to even mention date. It's 1.27am and I'm still in the office. What do you think? Date-less.

Been Out Of The Country - HK, Singapore, Australia

My next stop - Thailand .... YEAH SHOPPING!

1 Person I Want To See Now - My Mum

I'm feeling tired, exhausted, cranky, sick and terrible. Its been very tiring to do this for the past few months and I think physically, I'm almost drained out yet mentally, I'm still strong. Praise God this is only for another month or 2, I wouldn't have to be superwoman for too long.

Miss my Jojo

Suddenly, its so quiet without Jojo around. He usually sends me an SMS or 2 every now and then. Jojo has already gone to Thailand for a holiday with his family. Hope he enjoys himself there though he seems to be hesitant about shopping. Auntie Mee Li will probably be in shopping paradise by now, with all the great bargains over there. I heard that accessories are value-buys there. Think I will go into a shopping frenzy when I reach there.

Jojo even suggested to get me FRIED INSECTS for a gift. I feel like a lizard when he wrote that SMS coz I don't really fancy that though it would be kinda cool to try it. Maybe I would go for the crunch "chicken-flavoured" thick white worm from Australia. That seems to be less gross than putting a fried grasshopper with 6 legs sticking out from the body. Eeewww.....

Hei! Jojo...Tell me about Thailand when you come back coz I'll be going there on Dec 11 - 13 to become a spy and investigator....cool right my job. Hahaha...

Pre-Event Me!

This is me at the end of the day. No more nicely blown hair, make up has already melted by now, a thick layer of facial oil (probably enough to fry an egg), watery eyes with puffy bags, slightly deranged etc....you get the picture-lah. Now, I'm just adding the finishing touches to the PR materials of the Media Preview of Teen Titans Go! scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Just saw the Teen Titans perform their musical. Starfire can really shake her booty while Beast Boy is cheekily naughty. Not that impressed with Robin though. His character doesn't stand out just as much as the other two but I really have to credit them for their dancing skills. Must be sweltering hot to wear those mascot costumes for such a long time and dance, too.

I'm just going to retire for the night... after driving home, removing make-up, bathe, facial, iron and prep my clothes for tomorrow. This is going to be a long long night.

Zombies

What do you get when you leave the office at 11pm each night and punch in at 9am the next day? Do this every day for 2 weeks and then, add in the final punch by leaving the office at 2am and coming back to work before 7am for the launch? You get zombies...check out our tiny eyes on the day of the launch of Sunway Pyramid's Expansion Plans.

We look SMART in our black suits - The Hot Ladies of Sunway Pyramid and ahh...Doreen (Darren), too.

This is specially for the PR Team

10 Nov - Only a handful of PR Team-mates called to wish me birthday greetings. I admit I was a little disappointed by my guess was that everyone was busy. Even my male Edmund forgot my birthday but I received his MMS about 4-5 hours later on 11 Nov. So, he did remember. Just that it was a little late.

14 Nov - Tonight was supposed to be Ida and Edwin's farewell dinner but I received SMS from Tabby and Shobbie saying that they want to be included in the pressie and cake. Mozli called me to say the same. Was there going to be a farewell cake? Then again, Bernard had called earlier to say that this dinner was also to celebrate the Nov babies. So, this is getting confusing for me. It was planned to be a farewell but it seems that the whole planning process has another planner. To confirm my suspicion and confusion, Darren tried to delay me from going up to Jack's Place.

By the way, Shi Han - I heard you saying, "We all pretend that we don't remember OK" from the entrance of Jack's Place when I walked in.

Needless to say, I was very surprised (still) and touched to find out that the farewell awas also a birthday celebration. THANK YOU for a lovely time and LOVE YOU gals and guys for taking the effort and time to share this memorable night.

What started out as a working relationship has blossomed into more firm friendship which I truly appreciate. Having each one of you in my life has made work more enjoyable and memorable. In fact, I look forward to every PR meeting and function because of each of you.

Here's a thank you message for each of you:

Edmund (My Male No 1)
My "Chi-Mui" who listens to all my sob stories and still stand by me no matter what. Even though I was screaming and making a big fuss over you forgetting my birthday, you are still my male no 1. Muaks!

Darren (Partner in Crime ala Britney Spears ala Doreen)
The best working partner anyone can ask for. You have been a great buddy, girlfriend and teacher. Also, you do a great job at curling hair!

Bernard (The Other Slut who waited with me outside the Male Toilet)
The most professional event organiser and emcee I know. PR Team will not be the same without your TRULY WITTY SARCASM!

Sharzede (Our Big Momma)
The best boss anyone of us can ask for. Thank you for being there for us. YOU ROCK!

Hyma (The One with the Super Long Legs)
Even though we have only known each other for about 4 months, its been a pleasure to be your friend and looking forward to more fun times together

Eileen (My Sweetie Girl)
Girl! Your sweet smile always lightens my heart so keep on smiling and thank you for being a great counselor.

Shi Han (Who thinks I'm Roslinda)
Aiyoh! Dah lah pekak and blink, cannot even remember my name. Hancur-lah. Since you merajuk because I didn't write more for you, here's your a longer message for you - the LOUDEST person in the PR Team who is like a blur sotong at times. If not blur, then absent-minded lah..always losing your mobile, keys, wallet or card holder. Anything else you want to leave behind? If you are not losing your things, then you can't seem to find your car. Habis-lah like that. How to date girls-lah!

Tabby (The One who conned me into wearing that me-malufying silver dress to NKF Dinner)
My steady pillar of calmness. Always so patient with me and yes, who am I supposed to tell that you wanted to be part of the pressie for me? Hehe

Vanessa (My Mummy To-Be)
Sweet, sweet mummy who makes maternity wear so fashionable. I've gotta start learning fashion tips from you so that I can be prepared (just in case lah)

Mozli (The Hopping Grasshopper)
Its incredible how your quietness can be so loud. Without you around, I miss ya. I love the way you can't be bothered with Bernard's teasing. Sudah numb-ified.

Jaclyn (JLo)
The cool girl who makes hotel-ing such fun. Service with a smile - that is her motto! :)

Edwin (The One who Never Fails to Surprise)
My sarcastic and smooth Edwin. This was supposed to be your farewell party and it turns out to be a surprise for me instead. Thank you for the heart and adorable bag. Your heart is now proudly sitting in front of me right now. I'm going miss you...sob sob...sniff sniff...

Ida (Cutie Pie)
My cutie from Theme Park is leaving me...:(...no more shooting tours together. No more ushering together. No more hair fashion statements anymore (I love the way you tie your hair differently each time I see you). But we will always keep in touch ya!

Susan (My Church Mate ala PR Team Mate)
Looks like we will be working real close together on the coming Teen Titans project. You are not so quiet after all...hehe...Guys, she can really chat!

Rita (Blur Blur Rita)
My roomie @ Pavilion. Looks like sharing the shower will not be a problem for us right? Hehe..

Norman (Dancing King)
Next time you want to take off your top to pose under the waterfall, remind me to not to bring children around...CENSORED!

Shobie (My Drama Queen who makes accessories so FASHIONABLE)
I'm always so fascinated with your accessories. So many variety! The coolest and fun-niest gal in SunMed.

Thank you once more for a memorable birthday...

Male No 1's Birthday

This is male No. 1's birthday on 8 September and we were at his house enjoying yummy food. The chicken curry and mee siam is a killer. Our Eddie boy decided to come out in his shorts and T-shirt. Pakai-lah handsome a bit.

Edmund is a favourite 'Chi-Mui' of Fibi, Mel and myself. To him, we are his favourite "females" though it does make us sound a little animalistic to use that term but of course to him, it is a term of endearment. This is for you Edmund (for forgetting my BDAY!) I'm still upset over that!

Wedding PR Team

Meet the HOT & HAPPENING PR TEAM who were "volunteered" to be the ushers of our boss' daugther's wedding. All the guys look like they were attending their own wedding, in all their power suits. The girls of course, look glamourous!

Watermelon Lippy

Jojo was so sweet! He attempted to pass me my birthday present on 2 occasions even though I was so busy at work. That guy is SO SWEET! When I saw the present, I burst out laughing. Watermelon Lip Balm - After all the teasing I've done to him, he had to give me that. Haha...

It all came about when Jojo told me that he thinks that Watermelon Lip Gloss is SO COOL and I teased him about finding this out through kissing a girl who was wearing the lippy. I never quite stop teasing him about this and I guess he has the final laugh because he gave me 3 tubs of lip balm to last me for the whole entire year.
