Infused and bemused.
I am... so damn relieved. Didn't even realize that I was stressed till I dropped off the trays of food and twelve bottles of infused Henessy Pure White, said goodbye to sooks and Doreen and walked away from the building.
Been busy buying, infusing and presenting a small menu in preparation for the Henessy Pure White party that's going on even as we speak. Doreen looked rather startled when she realized that I wasn't going to stay, but pfft, I've had enough Pure White to last me quite a while! (That's not to say that I'd decline if she offered me another gig like this one, hiaks).
What can I say, I enjoy playing with liquor.
To celebrate, I dragged Shao away from her DVD and Shean from his computer for a late yumchar session. We talked, laughed, the usual. Shao and I are hoping to hit the National Museum next week if time permits.
...I wanna see miracles
to see the world change
wrestle the angel
for more then a name
for more then a feeling
for more then a cause...

Update
I smell like booze. My kitchen smells like booze. Heck, everything just reeks. But you can bet I had fun infusing 11 bottles of liquor ;D
Where do I even start? Hell, I hate these long breaks in between, because I always end up musing about the same damn thing over and over and getting nowhere even as I'm counting the minutes and seconds I have left to blog before something dies on me (as they are always apt to do). Good thing my dogs ain't dead yet :P
So yeah, Incubus concert. I was impressed, to say the least. They sounded real and they sounded good. Managed to take a few short videos and a decent shot of Brandon Boyd, rah ;D 'twas a pity they played the entire new album with only a popular track or two in between. "Just A Phase" and "I Wish You Were Here" were simply awesome; I think a tear or two tracked down my cheek (or maybe it was sweat, I dunno). The 8000-strong crowd was insane, and being the psycho that I am, I left the guys three songs into the concert and literally elbowed my way to the front for a couple of pictures. Suffice to say, short people shouldn't be allowed at these events, because I almost choked and passed out from the stench, eew. I feel dizzy just thinking about it.
It was Wan Yee's and Vivien's birthdays last week, so before I forget, Happy Birthday y'all ;D No whacks and no abuse for 24 hours, check!
Alice is gone, so we're pretty much recuperating. Spent two weekends at Genting Highlands, managed to get a tan of sorts (but it's already fading, blah) and I've been busy taste-testing a variety of alcohol-infused foods for my little project that will be explained later, much, much later.
My ladies sent me a card! *feels special!* Oh yeah, and a couple of Listerine Pocket Packs (so bloody addictive). Thanks ladies *hug*
Among other things, my brother loves me. He really really loves me. The proof lies within two huge slices of strawberry pie that's sitting in the fridge with my name on it ;D
Spent another 50 bucks at Ikea. I should be banned from that store.
Back to the booze.

Lunch, anyone?
Am currently sitting at sooks' desk at work, waiting for her to finish up whatever it is she's doing so that we can have some lunch (or in my case, breakfast).
I'm drawing a blank and I don't know what to write, but she insists that I should update my blog, so yah, uhm... updating :P
Been busy, and lacking sleep in the process. 5am seems about right for bed, but no one thinks my eight hours are important enough to let me sleep past noon. My sleep debt's so high, I doubt I'll ever pay it back (just like my education loan, hah!).
I'm kidding. I have every intention of paying back my education loan.
Blank. Blank blank blank blank blank.
Mm, chocolate. Belgian chocolate, to be precise.
Nik, get your ass back here right now so that we can eatttttttttt.
Basket. Mental swearing just isn't as fun.
I give up, sooks. Brain tak jalanlah.

Mixology
There is no better way to get the crowd plastered than by serving alcohol-infused food with free flow booze.
I'm gonna see Incubus come Tuesday, woohoo! ;D

Incubus, Pure White, Elections
Incubus is coming! Excited? Maybe just a little. Shean and I headed to the KL Equestrian Club to check out the venue this afternoon; by the looks of it, parking is going to be a bitch, and the others are still hemming and hawing, so no conclusion yet.
Thanks to sooks, I get to play with booze and be paid in the process! Details later. I had an impromptu dinner at Chilli's with her after god knows how long, and we spent some time catching up over a margarita, salad and chilli.
As for elections, well, it's here. People will do and say anything to gain a vote, from inferring that you'll go to hell if you vote for the other to re-paving roads to get on your good side.
Vodka trivia of the day:
"Vodka was originally known as "the water of life" from the similar word for water in both Russian and Polish, the countries from where the drink is originated."Things to do, people to see.

Movement
Alright, first things first. It's 4.18am and I'm wide awake. I haven't written in a while, so there is no doubt that my thoughts will be scattered and mes... hang it. When have I ever been clear and concise anyhow?
Lord, having to remember the last few weeks is like hunting for that missing sock that mysteriously disappeared in the caverns of our dryer...
We'll start with the major stuff. Wedding on Saturday, right? Yeah, the dinner went off (almost) without a hitch. We arrived late at the hotel and had issues with check in, but thanks to my ability to get ready in 15 minutes (shower, change, make-up et al), Alice, Crystal and I were seated at the registration table, smiles in place and namelist on hand at the appointed time before the groom lost his cool. The dinner itself was pretty funny, what with the cousins toasting one another constantly. Ours was undoubtedly the noisiest table in the ballroom, and we shamelessly yelled, clapped and cheered for the bride and groom, the in-laws, the host, the booze and everything and anything else in between. By 10 we had the groom flat on his back, and by 12 we were in Thai Bar dancing to BlackEyed Peas' Where Is The Love while downing a bottle of Chivas Tommy bought for us. I lost a ring, we saw fireworks at 5am, and Audrey and I made it for breakfast at 9.
Psychos ;D
Audrey and Alice moved out to Levin's, and I've been preoccupied with purchasing (and fixing) MF's computer. Thank goodness for small mercies (you're a gem Merv, and I owe you big time).
I haven't been online in over two weeks, and I have 626 emails in my mailbox, of which only 4 (that's right, 4!!) are legitimate. And that's just for my absolutely-fuzzy account! For the love of all that's sane, I do not need to enhance an appendage which I do not possess in the first place, I do not need to purchase Viagra, cheap or otherwise, and what the hell does it mean to "turn [my] spud into a stud"?!?!
Shean, Shao, Norm and I had a couple of yumchar sessions over the last few weeks, and we organized get-together of sorts for Kev before he took off for Melbourne. The gang came by Sunday night for a drinking sesh, but things were pretty tame overall.
My cousins and I spent the last weekend in Genting Highlands, and everyone chipped in to Uncle Lim and his stupid chicken game. In other words, we hit the casino and lost :P I couldn't sleep all night because of howling winds, slamming doors and an overactive imagination.
Sarah, I hope you had a fab birthday, and I downed two vodkas in your honour at my cousin's wedding ;D I promise, we'll drink till we pass out when I get back.
"...we're gonna sip Bacardi 'cause it's your birthday..." ;P
In the words of Alice, "It's time to bounce!"
