April is probably one of the most creative people I know. Esther and I drove to Monash on Saturday morning to meet April and her beautiful beautiful earrings!
I'm sure you all know how much I love earrings..so obviously I had to jump in on the fun and camwhore with her wonderful creations!!

Some of the polymer clay even have glitter. AMAZING!!! Did I mention that she injected scents into her clay earrings?? She has about 20 different scents and they all smell really good. Reminded me off my primary school sweet smelling erasers.

First up, a pair of snowmen just in time for Christmas!

Rubber duckie~!

Esther puts on a purple chinese lantern.

Colourful lollipop!

A piece of a very intricate birthday cake.

A lemon meringue pie(or did I forget its real name?) on April.

Pizza!!

April showcases a dice. The dots glow in the dark and the red is dotted with tiny glitter.

An actual oreo miniature!!

This is Sex On The Beach on Esther. It is from the cocktail range that April came up with.

Jack' O lantern. Wrong timing though!

Birthday longetivity paus right??:) April's mother made these.

Such a cute moo-moo hanging from my ears!

A trying-to-be-artsy pic of Esther with the candy canes. Brilliant combination of colours.

Cupcakes!!

A pencil! The colours were very real.

Esther with a penguin.

Blueberry cheesecake I think! With scent!!

Ladybirds!

Chocolate chip cookies.. I think she injected vanilla scent into these.

I bought these from her. Some christmas-y cakes.

The range of cocktails! From front to back: Sex On The Beach, Cosmopolitan, Bloody Mary, Vodka Lime. I might've mixed up the middles ones.

Chocolate chip ice-cream!!

I bought these as they were really pretty. Bubblegum icecream with multi colored imitation swarovski(sp?) crystals with honey dew scent.

For more of April's one of a kind earrings, go to her catalogue and start salivating!! She even makes hand phone straps, keychains and pendants now! The going rate for her earrings are RM8 per pair! For something so cute AND scented, I think I'll need more.

Pity I couldn't attend the Sunday's Earring Camwhore Session Cum Blog Meet thing they had.

Since cover charge is only after 9pm, I thought it'd be great if we could save up on cover charge(RM50!! siao ar!) and go just before sunset! :D Can save money and watch sunset somemore!

The view at dusk!

The swimming pool in the middle of Luna Bar. It was not exactly the epitome of tranquility because there were hotel guests in it previously.

One of us with the view of the city as a backdrop just before sundown! We couldn't see a proper sunset because it was too cloudy!

I WISH I had set my camera to its night function mode..arghhh..stupid stupid me. Or else you'd be dazzled with amazing photos.

Another in the alcove at night!

Can you see KL tower?:D One of the better photos among the sucky ones!

The brightest one I have of the twin towers, the rest were just too dark. WHY OH WHY. I bring a nicer camera there and this happens. But oh well...:) This trip to Luna Bar was not for photography...hehe. ;)

With night vision, I would've been able to capture Genting which was glowing yellow in the distance as the mist around it was illuminated in yellow as well.

The obligatory camwhoring in the beautiful toilets.

Chee Kiang helped me to snap some shots from inside the gents'.

Urinals with the prettiest visions.

One of the water features around the bar.

:)

We went up to the mezzanine floor which allowed us a more spectacular view. The view was not obstructed by walls and you could see the edge of the city. We were pointing excitedly at Genting Highlands(it was really clear that night) and suddenly we heard some cackle from a distance. Then Chee Kiang said, "Eh! Fireworks!!"

WOW!!! It was amazing enough to be watching a skyline, but a fireworks display to add to the effect? It was so pretty! We saw the balls of lights shoot up and then shimmer down to the ground again. We thought it was some Christmas/New Year rehearsal. But I've always been a sucker for fireworks so I was just mesmerised!

Apparently, it was Yeoh Tiong Lay's 50th Anniversary of something with the likes of the King and Queen, Badawi and Jimmy Choo(!!!!) gracing the event. It was a Russel Watson's concert, or so Su-Hsien(who attended the event with her father and sent me the picture of the fireworks above) said to me on MSN later that night when I was raving about Luna Bar and the fireworks.

Thank you, YTL for the magic!:)

All in all, we had a great time in Luna Bar. Just sitting around and talking;) and watching the view together.:) And on Sunday, it was exactly a year that we've been together.

Not many people that night as well as compared to the first time I went there.

I don't know why I keep getting myself into unnecessary adventures.

The bus this time was quite comfortable but it SO DOES NOT HELP when there's a family screaming behind you. There is a 6 year old boy(who is evil) and an 8 year old girl with a 1 year old baby. Plus a very uneducated Hokkien/cantonese mother and an equally uneducated Hokkien/Cantonese grandmother.

The kids were screaming and running up and down the aisle and their mother had an EVEN louder voice asking them to be quiet. "Mou chou larrr...cheng kan mummy ta lei gah!!"(Don't be noisy or else mummy will beat you!) she kept treatening for the entire bus to here. The kids were annoyng but she's worse. You know the type of pasar type of chinese aunty who speak without breathing through their nose? That type lah!

I wanted to turn around and say, "Aunty, oi ngo pong lei ta hui dei mou?"(Aunty, would you like me to help you hit them?). But I only managed to do some turn-around-and-glare motions.

She kept screaming at her kids and I wanted to scream at her to shut the fuck up. She was saying stupid things to her kids lah and was like bragging for the entire bus to here.

At one point when I was about to turn around and say something, the conversation got quite touching. She was talking to her 3 year old son in cantonese, "When school opens on the 3rd...you must be a good boy and study hard. Listen to the teacher and write alot of words(?!). Score well or else you wash toilets or pick up rubbish....... you do well in your exams then I buy you a toy, okay?" It's like the conversation meant SO much to her(and she also had to speak in her amplified voice).

But it was in vain because the little boy whined, "Mummy, ngo teng ng tou ar, ngo ge yi chai sak chor!"(Mum! I can't hear anything because my ears are blocked!). We were going through some highlands at that time. Couldn't help not laughing. Padan muka!!

Then she was DAMN annoying okay. She covered her kids with a jacket and asked, "Hai mai ng tong jor leh?"(Not cold already right?). Her kids didn't answer her. She persisted, "Hai mai?"(right?) No answer. "Hai mai ar?" Still no answer. "Wei, hai mai ar?" Zilch.

For fuck's sake woman, obviously your kids are already asleep and YOU wanted them to sleep so badly(she was pleading them to sleep initially) and yet she wants them to answer all her no brainer questions.

Another time, her kids were banging against my chair because they thought it'd be fun and when they lost their balance they grabbed onto my hair.

I tell you...

I arrived at pudu at 9pm. Since my dad has a company annual dinner to attend, he could not pick me up. So that he would not worry, I told him my friend's father will send me to KL Sentral and I'll take a KTM from there. But me being me, I did not want to trouble my friend and quite pai seh to ask also lah. So I asked him where the nearest LRT station was..

I walked straight up and by passed Petaling Street, contemplated if I should drop by for a bit of shopping but did not want to go home from KL ALONE too late. Plus my backpack and laptop bag was too bulky. I did look like a backpacker though. So I continued walking searching in vain for the LRT. I heard a rumbling noise above my head and looked up! It was an LRT!! I followed the tracks blindly and soon the roads started to get quieter and quieter.

I was not looking at where I was going because my head was just looking up at the tracks right? So I banged into this old Indian guy. You know the type who has shabby clothes, white long beard and a really really tired look. He looked like a beggar lah. But he could've easily been a frail old man. Whatever. Then he said, "AIyoo! Maaf lah! Ini mata(points at his eyes) sudah tak baik, rosak Ooo, maaf tak nampak ahh!!". I looked into his weird looking eyes and said, "Tak apa." and made a dash to the other end of the street. I was literally RUNNING away from him. I've heard of cases where you look at some weird stranger's eyes and then you kena black magic and give the person everything you have.

As for me, I had my laptop and cash and cards and stuff with me. Now that's more important than kena-ing from some hamsap lou. Sorry lah, materialistic:D Haha, or rather it's more believable that I'd get robbed off material items first before the prospect of being snuck to some nearby bush.

I kept walking and walking and slowly there were only two to three people at a particular street walking with me. And they were all men. Very scary.

Finally ended at Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral and Subang KTM was not too bad to get to.

But the thought of getting lost in the city at night with a backpack and a laptop was just too daunting. I won't do it again lah!

Photos from Kedah:

Xiong Khee trying to kill the cockroach with her ball of plasticine. Damn cool photo right?

Me catapulting cockroaches.

My sleeping diciples.

p/s: Over the weekend: Camwhored with April earrings, Laksa lunch at Hsien's place and Luna Bar with Chee Kiang. :) Blog post coming soon. Too tired to post.
