You're so vain.

Remember I said that I dresses up as an animal which was very close to me for the Nuffnang Wild Life party!

I was a peacock! 'Cause I am vain, haha. Actually the animal which bears the closest resemblance to me is hyena 'cause of the way I laugh. T__T

Ya, I know peacock is quite common. T_T But after brainstorming, coming up with a lot of costume ideas, making plans with people to go costume-hunting... I suddenly remembered that I was due in S'pore for my medical check-up, and would only be back 1 day before the party. So I needed something fuss-free-- and I have almost everything for a peacock costume! So you could say my fate was sealed. ;) Aiya, I know it's not like me, I am usually super obsessive with dressing-up, but I only officially put together my outfit 1/2 hour before I left house. T__T


Moving on straight to pictures from last night's party!



HAHHAHAHAHA when I looked at this picture I was wondering why was there such a huge gap between Suet Li and me, and I realized it's a black gorilla camouflaged between us HAHHAHA. Somemore the gorilla drinking beer through his mask! HOW CAN!!



Audrey the bumble bee, Suet the ostrich, Firdaus the gorilla with a human head, and me the peacock!

Like I mentioned, I have everything for my peacock costume! :))) I just bought the blue and turquoise fabric from Kamdar the day before, and stuffed it into my shorts-- voila, my peacock tail! :D

Admittedly, I wanted to find a big peacock feather as my headpiece-- but I had trouble finding one! T__T
I even went to the bird park with the boyfriend ok!!! 'Cause I remember from our last date (to bird park, stop giving me shit for it.. T_T), there was a souvenir shop selling peacock feathers! But this time we went, the shop was only selling expensive generic TY stuffed toys. T__T

But I improvised! *big shiny eyes* I took my sister's peacock feather earrings and tied it with wire onto my gold braid headband. :))) But the feather was a little small... and insignificant wtf. I was half-tempted to point it out to everyone I met-- HEY, I HAVE A PEACOCK FEATHER HERE! Hahaha, why am I so weird.



Cow and Chicken! HAHAHA. As you can see, I was positively mortified (and mildly excited wtf) by touching the udders, haha.

When we saw Chicken (which is actually JB underneath), Audrey and I laughed damn long and hard, 'cause in the midst of half-giving-up on costume ideas, we were like, "fuck it, let's wear fast food chicken mascot costume", HHAHA then really got people who don themselves up in it! :P

And when we found out JB's name...

Audrey: ARE YOU FROM JOHOR BAHRU?
Me: Aud! How can you ask him that! He must have people asking him that all the time!
Me: *turns to JB* JB, DO YOU WORK IN JB HIFI!

Haih, why am I like that. -_-



Suet, Audrey, Kelly the bunny, Cheesie the lioness, me!


Suet's skirt looked like a tutu, so nice! :)
And I was damn sad Audrey didn't have a sting on her bee costume, 'cause I wanted to see how she would sit with the sting on her bum HAHAHA.



Audrey and Vivien, the bumblebees! :)




With Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, unicorn, kangaroo haha!

Damn sad to see the unicorn, 'cause Teeny was supposed to go for the party as well (but don't know why she suddenly decided against it), and she wanted to dress up as a unicorn! :'( And Teeny will surely rock her unicorn costume wan, 'cause born in the year of horse WTF. No la, Teeny had all these great ideas for her costume. :(




Fellow peacock! Damn nice right her gown. :)))
But she is so tall! I felt like a baby peacock, haih. T__T


Oh, btw, I originally wanted to dress as a reindeer! 'Cause I know where to find the horns... And I was thinking of something flirty and short, red and white polka dotted... :P But then I was afraid it would be too common! It turned out that there was only ONE reindeer, somemore it's a male wtf.

I thought of Catwoman too, but it seemed as if almost every girl wanted to be Catwoman. I really wanted to wear this black satin corset with buckles that I have, rawrrr. I also thought of being a bat, but I would look really stupid in it, 'cause I was planning to wear this headband with bats on springs, hahaha.

And my favorite idea was... a skunk! Hahaha, like a really slutty skunk... I even had the name thought out... SKUNK THE SKANK, HAHAHHAHA. And I would carry stinkbombs wtf. But I had problem finding a nice bushy tail!



Unless I cut off BB the Serene Dog's tail WTF.



Spiderman!

OH YA, I just realized you can check out my new hair color! :P



With Cynthia, Orang Utan girl and Octopus boy. Sorry, I am so bad with names. :(

And Cynthia was supposed to be a hunter, but she looked like Lara Croft instead, what is this! And I just realized you had peacock feathers on, Cynthia... Were you supposed to be a peacock-hunter hybrid. T___T



With Liang, the emcee of the night, who can also carry off a mean toga dress wtf.



Just some pictures of the more popular animal options that night!


Gorillas! Why these people so gung-ho to get big black furry costumes, not hot meh. T__T
And don't ask me why is there a gorilla with a tiger face at far left. -_-




Bunnies! HAHAHHAA got male bunny! A new height for gender equality, haha.




Tigers. And that's a white tiger in the middle. ;)




Bumblebees. HAHAHA look at Audrey! Everyone is so natural and candid, and she is all posed like a gladiator for war, haha.




Butterflies!

I did toy with the idea of going as a butterfly momentarily-- I have this fuchsia and electric blue playsuit (yes, what a color combination right T_T) that I absoulutely could not wear out on normal days, so I was eager to use it as a costume. Was thinking of buying batik cloth to make wings... But haih, good also that I abandoned the idea, if not I will be a butterfly statistic. T_T




Elephants! And that is an elephant terrorist on the right. :P
He carries a sign that says : Elephant Terrorist. I only bomb jumbos. Haha!
Definitely the most creative costume of the night. :D



Elephant terrorist lurking in the crowds. T_T

And Suet damn stupid! While the emcee was picking participant from the crowd to play some games, the elephant terrorist was standing at the edge of the crowd. Then Suet said that he looked so sad, 'cause he wasn't picked. But how could she has noticed that he looked sad!! His whole face covered what, HAHAHA.




Another octopus. :P




Now I know how ugly I look when I kiss. T_T
But at least my peacock feather was obvious, haha.




Kenny Sia, as WINNIE THE POOH, haha!

When I first heard from Audrey that he was going as Winnie the Pooh, I couldn't stop laughing hahaha. And I immediately asked, "I hope he is not going without his bottoms!" HAHAHA.





With Su Ann the ladybug and THE BESTEST LEAF ON EARTH! Which I was captivated by, of course. :P




Jentzen the Shrek. Ogre counted as animal ar!
And Jentzen was my uni mate, btw, and he is damn secretive about his blog. -_-




Hanis! :) So pretty and ethereal. :)))

When I first saw her, after exchanging pleasantries, I asked her, "Are you here as a ghost?!" wtf
Hahaha, 'cause she was wearing a flowy long white dress what!
Then she told me she was a moth. SHYYYY.

I am sorry, I can be quite an idiot sometimes. :P



With the ever fierrrrce Hanis and Skyler! :)



With Rachel (I think) the bunny , and Debra the butterfly who sees stars. :D




HAHAHAHHAAH this tiger's make up damn cute right! HAHAHAHHA.




Some of my favorite costumes which I wish I have captured:

- A shirt saying "Stop Animal Abuse". Haha, so cute!
- Yee Hou, the rooster with the crown and the... red thingy dangling from the chin! And when I tried to touch it, he asked me to "stop touching the balls!" and that "it'd be better if I just stroke it". T___T
- Robb, who had a backpack-like thing on his back, with prickles jutting out! I asked him whether he was a durian. T___T Obviously he was a porcupine (which didn't occur to me). T_T
- A lioness-- who went on to win Best-Dressed!

... and so much more more!

Sigh, it was really fun, 'cause it's so NICE to see everyone so sporting! I swear to god, everyone had on amazing, creative costumes; I wish I took pictures of everyone. :(








One of the most painful memory of the night:

Suet was picked to play some game in which she had to act like a dancing hyena. In order to egg her on, Audrey and I let out non-stop hyena-like laughter (damn high pitch ok) as a soundtrack to her dance. T___T

I think we are like the most sporting people on earth. T_______________T
