100% Medalist

For months and months of planning and then practices, finally the event was over jus yesterweek. Planning the menu took months to at last come to satisfactory and they begun searching for ingredients which went on concurrently with the planning of the practice schedule. Took up most of their time and it finally came to an end but that would make another good beginning for some of them.

The effort for preparation for the second largest hospitality event ‘Food Hotel Asia’ or better known as FHA is not a cruise down town. This team of five had to stay back late nite to perfect their menu. To make it a good practice, it was made into a dinner so that ppl can try out the menu and give valuable comments for improvement.

One fine week some months ago, I went to savor the exquisite menu in the whole of KDU.. haha.. with a few companion to make things a lil more fun.

We started off with choosing the different set of menu. They had one couple preparing Duck ala Mandarin, another couple, Lamb Rack with tones of beans I don’t eat and lastly the reserved Cod Fish aka Not on Menu Item. The focus was mainly on the first two items but I of course get to choose the ‘Not on Menu Item’.

 Started with :

ANGEL & DEVIL DAY

As stated in the previous post, together with Cryst, we went for an outdoor shoot with a few photographers. Nice kan can get to know photographers as friends?? The theme was White Devil aka Black Seraph so we dressed up all white and all black. I got to be the black one of course cos Cryst’s look always super sweet, without sugar oso can kena diabetes.

1-2.jpg1-1.jpg12.jpg

We started very very early, despite of the not enough sleep the night before. Was to gather in McD TheCurve at 7am for breakfast but but but…. we dress

1. like goin for wedding…

2. like never go home from clubbing the night before…

how la to go out to the public??? So we sat in the car with a camera each in hand… That spells C.A.M.W.H.O.R.E. T.I.M.E.

img_5362.jpg

img_5359.jpg

Wahahah… Expressive kan kan kan??

Well after photographers were done with their nice McD Breakfast which we smartly skipped, we drove six cars in a row to an isolated no man land for our photography session. (actually its jus by some roadside near Ara Damansara)

1-6.jpg

Started with casual walk-stop-snap with Cryst..and see what happened to mine —>

1-7.jpg

Only the hand plus the so much talked about ‘black rose ring’…*!@#@#$@!*

Then we did some sitting by the roadside shots and i have this as my best shot..

Then we did smth together to eliminate my not so cute and cryst’s too cute posts.

Broadday light oso we gossip in the middle of the road… and if that is not clear enough,

gossip.jpg

Check out our expression.. real ‘kepoh-chees’ kinda look..

The photographers  cannot tahan us anymore so they gave us our prop the umbrella and we did—> see the expression…

friends.jpg

then cos we so cheeky, we were to cover our cheeky faces with the umbrella so we wouldnt interupt the session..

umbrella.jpg

Even behind the umbrella we held our ‘peace’ sign.. they totally speechless..

Then came the part where we do the ‘cool’ pose but….

umbrella-wt-blue-sky.jpg

The Weekend Post

Phew.. Just finished the 12 WEEKS recap and now with much DETERMINATION… I would continue to keep you guys updated. *fingers crossed*

Well this is a seconded post as Cryst posted up before me. The Sleepover Weekend or can also be The Total Camwhore Weekend. Whichever rings your bell ok.

As MOST of OUR FRIENDS ventured to SINGAPORE leaving the two miserable back here in isolated KL, we have no choice but to meet up occasionally and make each other happy somehow.. (aiyah.. not like some ppl in SINGAPORE always can meet up and go SHOPPING la…*jeles jeles*)

11.jpg

We normally meet up on weekends to catch up and most importantly, SHOP, that’s why after every outing we would stay home and eat roti for a week. Last weekend was nothing extra ordinary except we had this BIG BIG photoshoot the next morning which leads to Cryst sleeping over in my place.

Cryst brave through the routes that she never remembered travelling to reach my residence to pick me and off we go. (btw I stay near where we used to study and she told me ‘I dunnoo laaaaaa.. WHERE???’ pengsan-ness)

First destination, The Curve to visit the Flea Market that we didn’t managed to visit the last trip we went. Happily we walk and spend money like noone’s business. After hours or walking round and round under the hot sun, we then decided to go over One Utama as she need to COD smth.

1_935582675l.jpgPicture stolen from Cryst’s Friendster.

The photo tells everything.. we went in to shops and tried dresses, tops, pants, short & whatever that caught our attention but ended up not buying anything cos all sizes either too big or too small.

Saddened by the truth we didn’t get any clothing we proceed to footwear shopping. And less than an hour later, we were both carrying two boxes of new heels and sandals each. *faint*

p1070307.JPG

And then we remembered we were not utilizing our cameras that much. Cryst with her ‘bedazzled’ snap snap everywhere and we went to the place we like the most… LADIES where the lighting are always superb. I sometimes wonder why..

img_5336.jpg Comparing the lighting??Toilets always better okaiiiii…. (check out my siao siao while waiting for Cryst in the fitting room?? speechless rite?? me too…)

Then we continue walking till our ‘knight in shining armor’, Ram called up to remind us of the meet up later that night. Check our watches, nope not enough time to go home and try on the new dress and so we went straight AGAIN to The Curve to meet up with the rest.

p1070378.JPGNotice the only two siao-ded ones??

Met up with our ex college mates. Had a drink (ice lemon teas, ice mocha latte, lime juice & etc) strictly no alcohol which was very weird with these people. Then we knew that these ppl all ‘trying’ to quit drinking <say only, nex round straight to Scarlet.. speechless>

1_928668960l.jpgPhoto from Cryst again.

By the time we finished yakking and yakking for hours, it was nearly 12am and so we rushed home to get our beauty sleep for our nex day. But but but.. we dont do this ’sleepover’ that often so we talked talked talked till kingdom almost came. I passed my bedtime and too ‘kan cheong’ mayb, ended up watching that siao po sleeping soundly..*isk isk*

Hmm both of us concluded smth by the end of the day,

The Curve à One Utama à The Curve = SIAO-NESS

Nevertheless it was a fun day!!

Psssstttt.. next up–> Angel & Devil Day
