Shopping For NS And Some Sidetracks.

My earring collection now stands at a figure of 80 pairs. I have only twenty more to buy before I hit my aim of 100 pairs!!

With all the stalls selling 3 pairs for RM10, that goal won't be a long way to go.


RM15 from Kama. I *thought* I found really cheap chandelier earrings. It's beautiful, but I was wrong about the price.


Mel talked me into buying these. LONG and BEAUTIFUL.

Even though the earrings I bought were a tad more than what I'd usually spend on accessories, I still love it. But nothing could beat the euphoria I felt when I came across this stall in Mid Valley selling THREE for RM10 chandelier earrings. I bought six pairs. Yup. Six.


I like the duo coloured beads at the top.


Turqoise earrings!!


Silver is always pretty in sharper designs.


I like the colour combination of the beads.


Something unique, but it still belongs to the funky category and most of my earrings are funky. I wonder what's my next earring fetish? Before this, the crazier the earring is, the more I want it.


I didn't know they had pink diamentes hanging from it as well.


My earring collection on a corkboard!!! I know I am mad, but I am not as mad as April who bought an earring tower to keep all her earrings.

I've bought quite a few things to bring to NS! My dad asked me if I am going for a party or what. Apparently everything I buy I use NS as an excuse. Not true. It's sensible items. I'm not talking about the earrings of course. ;)

Four pairs of good track pants from Reject Shop..altogether they only cost about RM109.00. One of them was 50% off. Compared to the RM89.90 baby blue tracks I saw at Giordano.


Murky green!


Flaming red ones..!


These are the most comfortable ones of the lot and they are the fuzzy kind.


YIKES I LOOK SO FAT HERE. It's the same one as the murky green tracks, except it's in pastel red.

They are all comfy and it's such a bargain.


Some necessities. Hehe.

 
More necessities. Pink glittery hairband to push up my hair when I wash my face!! .. Ok, maybe I'm using NS as an excuse to buy things. Hm.

 
My Climacool shoes were stolen a couple of months back and I do not have good sport shoes. Correction, I do not have any sport shoes. I've been stuffing tissue paper into my dad's old Power shoes and wearing it for lab sessions in college. Walking up the college stairs in oversized shoes took some practice.

Got this Power ones from the shoe warehouse shop in Subang Parade a week ago. I think that's where one of my readers whose name is Warren saw me. Next time, you should say hello even though I "looked pissed". I was not pissed. Hehehe.

By the way, RM39.00 for pink sport shoes is definitely a good buy. If someone actually steals them during NS, it's not as heart breaking as losing RM300 shoes. My brother insists Power is a kid's brand. Whatever, I like it and that's that.

Shopping, Dinner and A Minor Booze Party

Blook opened in Subang Parade yesterday and they put on a bit of a show to wow the crowd. The turnout wasn't that great, what with a few chairs lining the sides and a hideous stage to boot. Anyone who has been to Parade recently and has by passed the centre court would have seen the ugly rotating 'flying bees' buzzing around on the stage.

I don't think that's the image Blook is trying to portray though. Spastic nature and boho fashion so does not go together.
Their casual wears are nothing much to scream about but their wispy dresses are really nice though. Mostly cocktail dresses and dressy tops are their specialty. They should focus on that rather than the casual wear. I don't quite like the casual wear. But yes, we saw loads of cropped cardigans.


See? Nice smock halter top. Not so nice capris. I'm guilty of owning a pair though. From FOS back in 1999.


A sweet paiseley dress. A nice combination of green and perhaps the frilly sleeves is an overkill. The scarf came with the door gifts.(No, I didn't receive one, Mel did since she was representing Seventeen.)

OOOoh! Beautiful. Lovely cutting and all. However, the choice of prints is only average.

I've been meaning to photograph some of the beautiful accessories in this shop that has only recently opened in Parade. The place is called Kama and it's located in that alley of boutiques near MPH.


Earrings galore!! RM10 for a pair. These usually cost RM30 plus plus because they are "authentic".


Cute jewelry boxes with mirror motives.


OOOooo.. Mel bought this necklace and I think Chien has a pair of earrings like that. Don't know if it's a real stone or if they just uses a glass casing and crumpled glittery paper into it.


I was tempted to buy this one but Mel said that it's simple to make.


Charm bracelets!!!!! But there are more to choose from the weekend bazaar there.


What's a trip to Subang Parade without stopping at Uncle Lim's?


Alicia and her nasi lemak. I love her chicken even though it's spicy.

Mel looking gorgeous here.

And Esther as well. Hehe.


So does the egg shell. Uncle Lim's serves the best half boiled eggs. It's up there with the likes of Melur and Tanjung. Wish I could say the same about the other mamak in SS19. Can't remember the name.


I bought earrings from Kama!! Here's a sneak preview to my barrage of earrings. There'll be more because I bought like 6 more at Midvalley today!
Wen Bin called for a dinner at night and so we met up at Salmon Steak.


l-r: Jia Jun, Wen Bin, Jiun Haw

l-r: Edison, Teng Choon, Chun Shiong

l-r: Chee Kiang, Me, Li Peng, Edison

Edison and Teng Choon

l-r: Sophia, Khek Tjian, David and Tze Leet.

Jiun Haw and Wei Loong
After the dinner, Chee Kiang and I went to Kota Kemuning for Daryl's party. Loads of drinks. The occasion was his sister Joanne's graduation. His parents are in UK for her graduation. Hahahaha.

We were walking around the huge house looking for Daryl.. and we found a toilet..and we found puppies!!!!! Besides his love for cars, Daryl loves dogs as well. He is a breeder.:) Ever since I've known him he has been joining all these dog shows and winning extra pocket money. He has 16 other dogs as well. By the way, the mother dog's name is Bear Bear. So cute right?

The mother is snubbing Chee Kiang.


It has really sharp teeth for something so small.

Awwww!! It says sorry for biting.


L-r: Chee Kiang, Yi Wen's Bf(sorry didn't get his name) and Justin.

l-r: Chee Kiang, Me, Woon, Jamie, Pei Sze and Seow Yen.

Justin and Daryl. Damn cute man this picture!

Chee Kiang and Daryl's .. er, boombox. He used his car to blast music. After awhile, something blew. My condolences, Daryl. Daryl and Justin love their cars so so so so much.

Nadine and me.

l-r: Yazliza, Nadine, Justin, Suzanna, Jonathan.

Luna Bar Is Beautiful

After ages and ages of hyping about Luna Bar, we finally made a trip to that oh-so-beautiful place in the heart of KL. It's quite secluded though. Situated behind Shangri-La and on the 33th floor of Menara something something. Even going up to that floor requires abit of mind work.

Chun Meng was nice enough to give me, Hsien and Chien a lift from Subang. About 14 of us went. That being Me, Chien, Hsien, Amanda, Melissa, Kevin, Chun Meng, Marcus, Ji Yang, Nigel, Barry, Kay Hong, Chun Guan and Amanda's friend, Sean. It's been a long time since we've done huge ass group outings. This is because the Aussie folks are back. (Kev, Ji Yang, Chun Meng and Marcus. Missing Abby and Zhuo Yan though. And one fella in UK. WHO IS BACK TODAY. ADRIAN!!)

There were a few flights of stairs that finally led to the bar and wow, I remember Hsien telling me that it was opened air but I suppose it's a case of seeing it to believe it. In the middle there was a swimming pool. The turqoise water was being illuminated by spotlights from beneath - very seductive. Unfortunately, it's not for swimming. Apparently only very important people (ie. national badminton players) get to swim in it. It's like a nice condo swimming pool.

It would be extra beautiful if they placed lilies with a candle in each and everyone of it bobbing about in the pool.

To quote Chun Guan, "Bring girl here then settle adi.. phuiyoh." He means it in an innocent way lah..all my friends are nice guys. To which Hsien and I nodded our heads in agreement. I think I had painted this picture in my head when I spoke of a glittering view of the city.

There is no roof to this place save for the bar area. The walls had alcoves and there were mats placed in it and you could climb into each of it - do remove your shoes though - and look out the glass panels to admire the beautiful view of Kuala Lumpur by night. The glass panels do not give full coverage to the top so if you ever feel like commiting suicide, it is not too difficult to do so. But it's dark. The only light illuminating Luna Bar would be the ones from beneath the pool, some little yellow lamps that only adds to the ambience but mostly lights from the city itself.

All of us agreed that the next time we come here, we'd bring our other halves instead. It's the perfect place to while away the night. I will have it no other way. I suggested to Barry that the alcoves allow for hot and steamy action but he said, "Can see lah!!" ... so I suppose that should answer some questions for some of you.

The cheapest bottle of wine is about RM140 so obviously wine is out of the question. At first I wanted to settle for a glass of diet coke (RM8.50) but what the hell, RM28 for a cocktail is not too bad. I'm willing to pay for the ambience, and one shalt not gush down alcoholic beverages so it was a good choice to last me through the night. I had a tequila sunrise. It tasted like incense. But I got used to it after awhile. Hsien's Strawberry Marguerita was lovely!! Better than TGIF's.

The floor plan was made to appear empty and hollow and it was not meant to be a place for crowds to ambush. So it's nice and quiet for long chats with good friends. Or clients.


They have showers in the ladies'. So people DO swim here... 


The toilets with translucent glass doors.


Hsien pretending to pose for me so that I will not look stupid photographing the interior of the toilet.
Can you see the mirror image of my feet on the mirrors hanging from the ceiling?? I only just realised it.

What a funky toilet powder room.


They have the same halo chandelier-esque thingies like they did in Charlie's Place!!


The beautiful pool. Sorry about the blur pic, but that's night vision for you. Don't want to be giving off any jakun-ish flashes.


That's the bar area at the right hand corner of the photo. If someone would give me the chance to swim alone on a clear starry KL night, I'd be.... there are no words to describe my gratitude.


Chien and Liss


Hsien and I


The stone steps. Hsien was saying that the last time she came here, they sat on the steps and spent time talking into the night.


Chun Meng and Chun Guan. Chun Meng had a few shots by then, which explains the red face.


Melissa's black black thing which is quite strong, Hsien's Marguerita and my Tequila Sunrise.


Kay Hong the hamsap handsome.


My current MSN display picture. Ho ho ho ho. My drink matches my earrings.

That's the most bimbotic thing I've heard ever since I heard about a lady who changes her car so that it matches her nail colour.


Amanda and me.


Kay Hong and me.


Barry and me.


KL Tower was just ABOVE our heads. *swoons*


There's a brick wall which had a steady stream of water running down from it and a few spotlights were placed strategically apart to create a zen-like effect.


l-r: Chun Meng, Chun Guan, Chien, Liss, Kevin, Hsien and Kay Hong


Chun Meng and me.


Hsien and me.


The lovebirds that disappeared for more than half the night. I don't even have a decent photo of the two of them on my camera. Sheesh.


l-r: Hsien, Liss and me. Excuse me, but I'm allergic to the flashes on other cameras..I don't know why..


Here's a shot of the city. My hands were shaky leh.


I was shouting, "THAT'S GENTING!! See Genting?!! That IS Genting!!!! Helooo Genting!!!"


It IS Genting Highlands. I remember seeing it from the Karak Highway a long time ago.


A view from the top of Luna Bar. You can still see Genting from here. If I don't use this night vision mode, nothing will appear. Hence abit of shakiness will have to be beared.


If only I had a tripod. Look at the lights. Look at the way it glows in the night. The beam of lights just goes up up and up..


Perhaps the beam of light might even reach the stratosphere.


KL Tower was only a paraglide away.


A view of the pool from the top of the bar.


A blurry one of me with a bit of the view.


Amanda and Sean


My hand got a little more stable. I've climbed into the alcove and gone trigger happy.


Ji Yang and Chien


Can you see Shangri-La? Just walk over the ledge and you will fall from the 33th floor of that Menara something something.


Forgive me, but camwhoring. With the reflection and all. Hehehe.


Chun Guan and Nigel.


OOh! The view is clearer in this pic.


Another nice reflection picture.


Kay Hong and Liss having a chat.


So was Chien and Chun Guan.


Hsien and Marcus.


l-r: Chun Meng and Barry. They look nice here!


Amanda and Sean.


I bumped into Joshua there!! Somehow or other I was not THAT surprised, though I should be, all the way from Subang and all.
l-r: Joshua's friend Yi Chien, Me, Joshua.


l-r: Ghim Su, Yi Chien.
These are Joshua's college mates. Very nice people. :) I went up to introduce myself and they made me feel at ease at once.


The sliding door outside Luna. Hehehe.

It was not too bad as we arrived back in Subang slightly after 1am.

Woke up at about....1pm to a phone call.

The guy on the phone asked me to "Guess who!" and I said, "Don't want. Who's this.". I was roused from my slumber.

"It's me lah, Chee Kiang!"

Woops. My hearing's a lil impaired in the early mornings. afternoons.

Anyway, my dear boyfriend is back from Singapore, surprise!!


We couldn't get tickets for Initial D or even War Of the Worlds. The urban folks will always be in a mad race to catch the latest shows. So we ended up in Taipan's Coffeebean. :)


I realised we've never properly camwhored. What with him being away in Singapore most of the time.



Alright, I quite like this post. Beautiful Luna and a wonderful night in Coffeebean.

The time is 3.30am and the parents are bringing me to look for that NS meeting point in Klang tomorrow. Sigh. Oh! And there's Blook's fashion show at Subang Parade tomorrow. Will be back with more pictures. Yes, again.

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.

Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
