Pinoy Fest.

Friday, October 23, 2009 at 2:56 AM | Posted by jojeeko

Because it's the exam season, I've been M.I.A. Sorryy..! I promise I'll update more dilligently during my break. And...I have some interesting (I think.) posts drafted in my head. We shall see if it works out. =)

I'll leave you with my current YouTube favourites. First one's not something/someone new. I've posted up numerous Gabe Bondoc videos before. Here's my sweet pea, singing a cover of 'Sweet Pea' by Amos Lee. *melttssss*

And a couple of weeks back, on one of my YouTube stint in the wee hours of the morning, I found this awesome duet. The guy, Andrew Garcia, has James Morrison's voice! ZOMG, what's not to love.

And because it's all about Pinoy Fest this time, the girl (Kat Badar) is an epitome of raw talent personified, I tell you. Big voice! Here's a duet singing Always by Atlantic Starr, one of my all-time favorites. The kind of song you would want to sing in the shower. HEH.

Speaking of raw talent, this diva undoubtedly has the X-factor. But unfortunately, being a diva also means she can afford to postpone her 'I am...' World Tour in Malaysia, while the rest of us remain frustrated beyond words. Like me, I was REALLY looking forward to this weekend because it's been hectic with all the exam preparation. It was something I needed. To get away from books, for just one night. =(

So the question still remains as to whether she would still be able to perform after MUCH drama tracing back all the way to the year 2007. First it was wardrobe issue and now apparently it's got to do with security?? C'monnnn.

The fact that the organizers have scheduled refund dates also lessens the probability of the concert EVER happening.

I'm unhappy/frustrated/angry/disappointed. =(

***********************
I'll be right back, folks! First paper is on Thursday and I made a promise to myself that I must kick ass this semester in order to graduate in July 2010.

Sooo, keep me in your prayers.

29th October - Cost Information
4th November - Financial Management
10th November - Marketing Law & Business in Asia

I have so much in mind already as to what I want to do during the break.

Until thennnn.

Show Them Who's Boss.

Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 1:40 AM | Posted by jojeeko

Yea, you guessed it. Another backdated/overdue post. This was wayyy back in August. Oh, I remember, this was right BEFORE Irene's birthday. Cos I bought the Holy Cow balloon on the very same night. Yea, lightyears ago, kan? No prizes on guessing where this was.

Fausha and I.

So, Gooi's cam had this function where it can detect how wide you smile. I'd like to call it the Smile-O-Meter. And being the camwhore that we are, it would be a crime not to play around with it. Sigh, why are we like this.

That's me and my forced smile. The thing is, the camera couldn't detect my smile when I thought I had given it my all. Mehh. I shall practice, I shall practice. *pats self*

Fausha's also quite fail compared to the next one. HAHA.

Hands down, the winner of Smile-O-Meter round 1. We shall have a rematch when we're all reunited again, Yee Mei! I'll be practicing. =))

Gooi looking grreeatt after a photoshoot, Yee Mei and Sam.

My lesbian family. =)) I loves.

Can't wait till we meet again, guys! Missing you already!

****************************
I never thought I'd give a good point on such an action-filled movie. What more movies about aliens cos I'm never a fan of such nonsensical plots. I honestly thought I'd fall asleep on the couch like I normally do with these kind of movies. District 9 = an EXCEPTION. Lemme tell you, mate...coming from me, that means it is a MUST watch.

One pointer though, I watched it on DVD and it did not do much justice. I'm sure it will be worth your eight buckaroos to catch it in the cinema. I would if I knew I was up for such an epic movie.

I cannot wait for the sequel. There are rumours I read from sites about a certain District 10 (or whatever they decide to call it).

I shall not leak one bit...so go WATCHH..!

On Turning Twenty.

Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 12:38 AM | Posted by jojeeko

So, it's almost three weeks since I've turned twenty. Wait!! Scratch that, I refuse to grow up so I'm now TWENTEEN. Get that right. So here goes my update.

This year...it was sort of a quiet celebration. It wasn't planned out properly, so everything's a little last minute. And I had a hard time choosing a place to eat dinner in. Because I'm fickle minded like that. Didn't want anything too posh. Nothing to crowded. And certainly not Ms Read, Delicious.

I decided to be a little more adventurous this time (Note that I'm never quite spontaneous when it comes to food) and went out of my way to Google new restaurants I've never heard of. So, Naili's Place was my final choice. We went to the branch near KLPac. My verdict?? Food: Mediocre. Ambience: Average. Deco: GREAT cos upon walking in, I felt like I was in Bali. For reals. =)

Apart from the beach-y/tropical concept, they have little tree houses to dine in. And I reserved one so we could have our own space. Cos' you know how crazy loud we can be. Only thing was, the table was too small for the eight of us. Mehhh. The lady whom I spoke to on the phone assured that 10 people will fit in nicely and would still be spacious. But apparently NOT! Marketing scandal...!

A very smiley Birthday Girl.

Along came Birthday Girl's very smiley friends.

Still smiling. =))

Yes, I knowww.

After makan-makan we drove to Brussel's. And on 5th September 2009, yours truly met her new love. <3>

This monster of a friend conned me left-right-center. I had to have my MANDATORY alcohol drinks of which I did not expect to end up with THREE of em'.

1) Tequila shot. Which was beyond YUCKKYY.

2) Jaigermeister shot. I couldn't really taste it cos the Tequila was burning my throat by then.

3) Flaming Lambo. Which was surprisingly nice.

So yea, got conned. Thanks to this person below. Thanks la huh thanks.

The woman who was supposed to help me but DIDN'T. Mehhh.

YUCKKKK.

My new love. =)

Tupid Fatty too fat to take a proper picture. Meh.

Andrea and Stella Artois.

Thanks for the lovely night. You know who you are.

Props to Irene for the pictures. The rest is already up on Facebook donkey years ago.

-jojee-

The blog is revamped..! You like it, you like it?

Remember Me?

Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 1:57 AM | Posted by jojeeko

I figured since the following pictures are sooo backdated and that most of you have probably seen it up on Facebook, I decided to just stack it all up together and post it all at once. Sue me, cos I'm a lazy blogger like that.

I mishh you berbanyak-banyak.

And yes, you too. =))

To tell you the truth Jon, I've never seen you smile THIS big before. Too big till I can see your gums! And MATA SEPETTTT.

Dooods, explain these.

Muchos Lovesss.

********************
Oh yah, there's also the Singapore Trip. I'm going to skip all the grueling details about me and BigSpenderAndrea's shopping trip. All you have to know is, Singapore's shopping scene is crazy mad! Would like to go back in December! =) Jom!

All pictures taken when we were at Sunset Bar and Grill, Selatar Air Base for some awesome buffalo wings. Best I've eaten thus far. The way into the restaurant is a little dodgy, if you ask me. Have someone really good with directions before attempting to go there. (Thanks Jeremy!)

Trust me, I've never seen my brother ate something sooooo spicy till he shed a few tears. HAHA!

Hall of Flamers slash Cocky Bastards who went through all that pain to get their names up there.

"Owned the Level 30 like the little biatch that she was." ~Joco Tan & Victor Yap

Level 1-ers. Whee!

Outcome of Victor's unfortunate visit to the toilet. I'm not surprised if he still feels the pain. =)

*********************
A couple of weeks into the new semester, I met up with my old buddies. I had dinner with them on two more occasions of which I would update once I get hold of the pictures. YES YES YES, another late update.

Jo, the other Jo and Sam. =))

Play poke the Joji..!!

Sam's so ashame of me. HAHA.

Now, play dig Joji's nose...! By then, everyone was starring at us cos we were seated right in the middle.

But we still went on and on anyways. Lawyers-to-be. I can't quite figure how Law School can make them this crazy.

RAWR..! Says Gooi.

**************************
And then there was Irene's 22nd. I literally had no idea what I should get her. The girl has everything she needs, no joke! So in attempt to get something out of the ordinary, I made my way to a balloon shop!

HOLY COWWWW...!! Not another birthday! Oh, and I baked brownies. Those whom I think are worthy of my brownies will get some soonish! =)) Christmas, perhaps?

Had a greeaattt time playing games. Met a couple of new friends which made the night all the more interesting.

Spot Kai playing Mah Jong with little girls.

Plus Cherlyn and Joyce!

Monster turns twenty-two! (Speaking of which, I have now turned a year older. Will update on that soonish, I promise.)

Hello, Strangers.

Monday, August 3, 2009 at 12:57 AM | Posted by jojeeko

Two weeks of Sophomore Part Deux has gone by and nothing's change. Meh. I can already foresee the stress coming.

Just for updating sake, here's two of my favourite shots while we were trying out the Lomo Fisheye 2.

I've always had a thing/fettish for hairbands. Be it plain, simple, complexed, bulky, big, patterned, etc. =)

Hello woman!

BestFriendSS have temporarily left me for Australia. *Surprise surprise*

I think this is that time of the year I'll go all mushy. (Mushy-ness and I don't go along very well.) So, come back QUICK. BOTH OF YOU..!

We need to set a Skype-date. =)

-jojee-

Singapore update nextt, patienceee.

Sophomore Year, Part Deux.

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 at 1:19 AM | Posted by jojeeko

Back to the books.

Back to dreadful lectures.

Back to outrageously looooong drive to Uni in the mornings. As if staying in the country side isn't bad enough, there's the massssiiivvee traffic jam. Not helping. Meh.

Back to slaving weekly tute homework, mid-term tests/quizzes and assignments.

......

....

...

Back to being Margaret.
(If you didn't already know, that's my altar ego when I'm in uni, a loner at that. Margaret=Monash, geddit?)

PS: Suee Shann, we better have lunch dates once in a while. No fate lah, no fate.

It's been a blissful holiday, but it has come to an end. So, here's to Margaret..may this semester be a grreeaat (NOT!) one!

Better hit the sack now. Night blogosphere.

Very Uncalled For.

Sunday, July 19, 2009 at 4:08 PM | Posted by jojeeko

For those who know me well enough, I'm no football fanatic. Going for Man Utd's training session on Friday was very uncalled for. It was either Ruburn's house versus Bukit Jalil Stadium. So, I picked the latter. At first, I felt very out of place, but it was fun looking at the hot bods, nonetheless. =)
