I sleep better with Chipster!

The princess and the pea version. ;)

Once upon a time, there was a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess.

He travelled right around the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering-- there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly.

One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightninged and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night.

In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself sent to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess.

All wet and streaming with water from the rain.

'Well we shall soon see if that is true,' thought the old Queen, but she said nothing.

She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes off and laid a pea on the bedstead: then she took twenty mattresses and piled them on top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses.

This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the morning they asked her how she slept.

'Oh terribly bad!' said the princess. 'I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was the problem, I was tossing and turning though the night, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!'

They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real princess could have such a delicate skin.

So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a real princess. They were wedded on the same day, and thus begun to lead their happily ever after.





However, the morning after their wedding night, the princess shuffled her feet into the main hall of the castle rubbing her neck and shoulders, with an anguished, pained expression plastered on her face.


Worried, they quickly asked the princess did she not rest well.


'Oh terribly bad!' said the princess. 'I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was the problem, I was tossing and turning though the night, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!'


Bewildered, the Queen said, 'But I have removed the pea underneath the mattresses! You should not feel any discomfort last night!'


The princess tilted her head to one side, and said, 'Pea? Whoever said I couldn't sleep because of the pea?'



She continued,

'I couldn't sleep well because I didn't have my Chipsters with me!'



The whole hall, King,Queen, prince, chambermaids and maidservants, jesters and knights, with a sudden jolt of realisation, all burst into a rumble of agreement and chimed in unison,

'Oh, of course! we ALL go to bed with Chipsters!'


And then and there, the Queen went up to the princess, held up her hands, and apologised with the sincerest intentions, 'I am sorry, my love, for my oblivion and thoughtlessness! I should never have allowed such a catastrophe to arise, not sleeping with Chipsters is simply unheard of in our kingdom! '


The princess looked at the Queen with utmost appreciation and shared a look of tenderness with the Price.




From that day onwards, the Queen laid orders for the Princess to always have Chipsters by her side when she gently drifts off to sleep...





... and they all live happily ever after.

Barney says it all! We are happy family.

My grandma said to my grandpa:


Eh, nowadays why you sleep so much! Look at you, your head shape all weird!!!



Haha, why my grandparents so cute!

I was trying to access Thesaurus.com to search for a word for this employment application form that I was filling up, but I just couldn't connect to the darn page.


Jing: Maybe May Zhee is using the website!



HAHAHHAHAHAHA! Maybe you will get it if you loath her as much as we do wtf.

**************************************************

This set off the whole car into bursts of laughter.



Teeny: What did A said to B when they met?

Teeny: WASSAB-BIII!




HAHAHHAHAHHAH.

***************************************************

And my dad eats funky foods which look like that:









Hehe, it's actually a durian doughnut. :P







Sigh, why my family so weird! But so lovable right. :P

***************************************************

Pictures with a quarter of the family:



Pouty in the car.
Damn nice to be home, Jing fetches me everywhere! :P




Teeny, who was afraid of the sun.
But she damn stupid, what if one side of her face gets dark, and the other side doesn't!!!




Jing tried a new make-up look that day-- smoky eyes and very pale lips.
The whole day we were making fun of her: EH, WHERE ARE YOUR LIPS? EH, YOU LOOK BETTER WITHOUT A MOUTH LA etc.


Then the next day when she went back to her usual look, we told her, EH WE NOT USED TO SEEING YOU WITH A MOUTH wtf.




I really like the asymmetrical hem of my dress! I was fantasizing of wearing this dress and run around lush green meadows, y'know, all bare-footed and hitching up the skirt...
Eh, all my photographer friends, who want to offer to take said pictures of me! :P





Couldn't resist taking a leaping shot with my dress.
Yea, give me a swishy skirt and I become hyperactive. -__-


Serious, I met a friend in the Curve the same day, and without realising, I was talking to him while swishing my skirt to and fro... -___- Until he asked me, eh what are you doing with your skirt... T___T




I just realise something! All pictures have Teeny as the tiang HAHAHA.
Serves you right for being 5'8! *bitter wtf*





Heh, told you we are weird.

That auspicious number that we all like!

*edited*
This is damn bimbo, but I just found out that I left out one pair of shoes! So added wtf. This is not any pair of shoes! It's also one of my favorites of the lot, and it makes me a BIKER CHICK!


I just watched a rerun of The Devil Wears Prada just now! Am in such a deliciously superficial mood now, haha. Therefore here's a shrine wtf for the shoes I have bought since I got home, not that many, compared to some shoe freaks that I know of... -_- But it's still a pretty big headache to hide these shoes from my mom! ('Cause as far as she's concerned, I am on a shopping ban *shifty eyes*).

As of now, these babies are hiding under my set of drawers, sitting with some of my pharmacy buys, and mixed with clothes wtf.







Vintage-looking lace shoes with a kitschy gold button on the cream satin bows!




I have been wanting one of these transparent shoes... To satisfy my Cinderella fantasies. Glass slippers wtf.




Patent loafer platforms! The color is BRIGHT, makes me cheery when I look at it. ;)





Zara cream flats with gold padlock. Reminds me of these shoes I wanted to get from Tony Bianco from Melbourne. T___T
And it looks like a cross between Marc Jacobs and Chloe paddington right! *self-reassuring*




Another Zara peeptoe wedges... Love the straw-like detailing at the wedges part. And I like the earthy feel of this pair! :)




Bright yellow pumps, have been looking for one for ages! You can tell I really like my colors bright huh. :P Love the wedges on this pair too.




My Chanel-inspired pumps! Ya la ya la, I associate all my shoes with designer brands WTF. These shoes are slightly too big for me, but since it's maryjanes, it's something I could ignore. ;)




White patent sneaker-like pumps.


I just know the boyfriend would love this pair of shoes. -__-
Do you all have the same problem-- the boyfriend likes you in T-shirts and jeans and sneakers??? -_____-




And my favorite pair out of the lot! :D :D :D
Black velvet pumps with semi-precious stones and diamantes... So pretty right!




Just added this pic!
See, there are my BIKER CHICK shoes! Love the shiny turquoise/sky blue sheen... And it comes with a gold zipper, which is so damn sexy!!! I can just imagine strutting down in these shoes with a mink coat, damn diva right! I am anti-fur, but that's another story wtf.


And I realised that my obsession with button earrings have yet to cease... -____-







I think that I am a corn ar, 'cause corn have EARS, geddit geddit??? :P

****************************************************

Anyway, just now Jing was filling out some forms right next to me, and I realised something!!!


The way she writes '8' is different from me! And it's really weird!!!



This is how she does it:


She draws two circles resting right on top of each other!!!
Where got people write '8' like that right! It's as if she is in a drawing class!!!



I was trained to write my '8's this way since young:


The black dot refers to the starting point.


My grandma and mom used to grasp my hand tightly tightly and make me reiterate over and over again this way of writing my eights, so I *believe* this is the correct way of writing.


Erm, the reason why they were so persistent with teaching me the right way of writing '8' is because I used to write them this way:





I will draw a terbalik '3' on one side, and join it back with a '3' on the other side! 'Cause I really liked art mah wtf.




Anyway, I checked with Teeny, and here's how she does her '8's:

The black dot refers to the starting point.


She writes it in the opposite way from me! Which is quite alright, especially when you compare it to Jing's retarded way of drawing 2 balls resting on each other. -__-


I never knew everyone had their own way of writing the number eight... Starts making me wonder how people write their ABCs and all the numbers! Even the symbol for infinity wtf.


Such food for thought right!! So which way do you write your '8's?? Is your way more creative? :P

Loh Shee Fun!

Random pictures from today, such is the fulfilled life of the unemployed!




Jing and her Chanel bag wtf.





Black and white, baby!



Stupid-looking beaded dragon that makes me laugh.





My pretty cream lace crotchet shoes! *heart*
But ignore my black legs, and the fact that one side of the bow is folded. A misfortune from shipping the shoes back! T_T




Dinnertime! At the famous loh shee fun place near Petaling Street.






Beware the wrath of an angry woman wtf.







Hungry woman on the prowl!



But the food was damn nice!



Claypot loh shee fun, with raw egg.



Siew yuk (roasted pork) noodles.




Ok, the end.
Sister shooting my dirty looks for hogging the computer. T____T

*********************************************

But on a random note, in reference to the recent uproar of the Edison Chen scandal,







HAHAHAHA!

Sigh.

Sigh.


Jac's on the plane now. Going to a land far away. Too far away.

Never thought I'd say this, but stupid Melbourne.




My darling, belting her heart out today in karaoke.


Ya la, her last day in KL, also must go karaoke. This is coming from a girl who insisted last time that she doesn't sing! :P





Joelyn, with the smallest waist in the world.
Sorry for taking only side profiles of everyone, I was too comfortable sitting down, and wearing high waisted shorts make it a bitch to move around ok!



Me with said high waisted shorts, being one with the couch.




Julie in the background, and Jac again, the mike-hogger.


Sad la, to see you clutching onto the mike for dear life.
Reminded me of the time I wanted to get you the pink microphone-shape radio from Sportsgirl in Melbourne, to tease you for being such a mike slut.
Aah, Melbourne. Those were the days, eh babe?

And I didn't give up on the microphone idea. I saw a cute microphone pendant necklace in Sungei Wang sometime ago, and the moment I laid my eyes on it, I was laughing inwardly, thinking of getting for you as your farewell present, and all your mock anger and protests when you see the shiny diamante mike hanging off the chain.

I didn't get it then, it was still a long time away from your departure at that time. I will come back next round to get it for her before she leaves, I told myself then.

'Next round' didn't come after all; and in a blink of an eye, now you're gone. And you won't ever see the microphone necklace that has your name written on it.





Girls in the Apartment.
Back: me, Joelyn.
Front, Jac, Julie, Smalls.


It wasn't until last night in Mambo, did it fully sunk in that you're leaving today.
"Omigod, I am leaving tomorrow!" you suddenly spun around and told me in bewilderment.
Reality hit home.
"Shit wei, you're really going off. Tomorrow!!!" We looked at each other in horror.






I don't really think I should emo. I feel kind of childish for it. I mean, I should be used to people leaving by now right?

But who can understand the bond between 4 girls who stay with each other, who are there for each other in every step of their daily lives, who are family in a foreign land.

It's just so strange to imagine that I used to see her every day, from baking cheesecakes, random knocking on each other's doors, girly nights in, heart-to-heart talks while hugging bolsters and pillows... And now I won't see her for one whole year.

Like I said it.
Sigh.





Flat hair flat.
I can't do without any one of you.




All the girls this time, with new additions of Mey and Victoria.


Like I said, I know I really should be getting used to people flitting in and out of my life.
But at this stage of my life, the impact seems so much more powerful.
When we were still in high school, we talk about furthering our studies overseas, with longing and fabrications of daydreams. Then university life comes about, and people actually leave. But then, there is still the shreds of hope hanging about, because you know in a few years' time, when courses are completed and graduations take place, you will all cross paths again.
But now, people bid their goodbyes, it might actually be final. Because at this point in time, people are really embarking on their own designated paths in life... And you might actually not see them again. :( It really hits home now, because everyone is taking separate routes, people you practically grew up with, people whom you care a lot for, people whom you can't imagine living without...

Again, sigh.






Anyway, my love. One more picture, just the two of us, our usual pose and positions, standard angle and arche, ; just like old times.


Be good in Melbourne, and remember, when you come back, how would it be like?

Just like old times. :)
