KinkyBlueFairy Dot Net

I'm slowly moving blog.
Will move tonight actually :D
Check out the (super lewat) Grey Goose party i blogged bout
I still want my xanga emoticons so will try to get them moved over or something

Moving because: html is easier for the programmers to handle and Xanga won't be screwing me over by KO-ing or going under construction all the time

I will miss blogging from my Xanga but hopefully... the new dot net will look better in time

Advertorial

So there are four competitions Digi is holding for their Fu-Yoh Street Blast.
A futsal + basketball tournament, a fashion design competition and a b-boy dance contest.
Among the four, I think I can only relate to the fashion one :p

What happens when you see a contest that stirs your interest?
Do you see what you have to do to join first?
Do you see what the qualifications are first?

No.

What I do is I always check out what the prizes are first, to see whether joining it in the first place will be worth my time.

C'mon. It’s common sense.
Would you join a contest if the prize was RM100?
Heck no.

So first up, what *are* the prizes? *rubs hands in glee*

For the basketball tournament, I went to kacau NickIsTaller.
My brother's an avid basketball player.

Yeah, I know the contest for this is over.
I just wanted to sibuk at any rate.

Sometimes when I meet guys through other friends, they'd say, "Oh yeah, I know your brother, we play basketball together."

So it's different.
He plays basketball with them.
I drink with them.

I asked Nick, "Hey, what do you think of a basketball tournament that gives RM1,500 prize money?"
"Hmm that's not bad."
"Not bad… like how? I have no idea what the normal figure is."
"Most of the other tournaments give cash prizes of less then 1k or sometimes even 500. Hmm except for this recent one in The Curve that gave damn a lot. But 1,500 is damn good."

I went into interview mode, "So, if you won 1,500 what would you do with it?"
"Have to split between three players right?"
"Yeah I guess so."
"Hmm dunno. Normal stuff I guess."
"-_- Fail la you. So much for something interesting you say to write on my blog. -_-"

So yes.
The prize money was RM1,500
1^st runner up got RM1,000
And 2^nd runner up got RM500

Now, if you're short (like me) and don't have much ability in playing basketball (like me), there was the futsal tournament for others to cash in on.

I think half my friends play futsal.
MaryBerry plays every week with Gobi and gang, so does FaiTheMai, TL, AzwinAndy, AdamPoserPan, etc.
ExSmellie used to play so much that I had to yank him from it to spend quality time with me instead -_-

One thing about futsal is you can seriously get hurt with it, yet the boys still insist on playing.

FaiTheMai obtained some problems with his knees last time yet still insisted on playing.
Then he got a slip disk so had to abandon sport altogether.
TL got kicked in the ankles and had an ugly bruise when we went to Perhentian.
AdamPoserPan... well he just got itsy wounds and made a big whiny deal out of it.

I didn't take this. He did, ages ago. (With his futsal gear still on -_-)

There must be a reason why they love playing futsal so much, though I'm blinded to it cos I hate running around, despite being a sprinter in school last time.
Even in the gym I’d rather do the stair climber then the treadmill. I love hiking, swimming, other sports, and now diving (yay! I just got my license!), but I’m just not a fan of running around kicking a ball.

Prize money for the futsal tournament was the same as the basketball one ;)
First prize = RM1,500
1^st runner up = RM1,000
2^nd runner up = RM500

I know both the basketball and futsal ones are over, so you must be wondering why the heck I'm writing about it when there's no way you can join already.
But I couldn't help babbling a bit 'bout it.

Ok ok I'll get to the point.

Besides the basketball and futsal tournaments, there'll also be the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest taking place for the span of a month from 15 September to 31 October 2007.

Okay for me, if I was younger and I wanted to partake in a competition like this, it's not only the money that'd draw me but the acquisition of the title itself.
Even if you don't continue pursuing a career in fashion design, the fact that you won something like this can always be inserted into your CV as fabulous additional skills that you have!

So for the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest, I'm going to go through what you have to do first before telling you what you'd win.

First,
You participate by creating a minimum of 4 designs on JPEG/PDF format and email it to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the subject entitled 'Fashion.'

Then,
8 finalists will be selected to receive RM1,000 each, to bring their designs to life.
They'll compete in the KL Finals to vie to be champion.

If you are champion,
You get prize money of RM2,000 + Nokia 7900 Prism + working experience with a fashion designer.

If you're one of the finalists who don't win, it's okay. It was a good try and you still get a Nokia 7900 Prism.

Couldn't help googling the phone up.
Quite the cemerlang also.
(Crap, I think I listen to DikHaHaHau and Roen too much. Since when I use the word 'cemerlang'? -_-)

I have no idea who the fashion designer is as of yet.
If you're young, that doesn't mean age is a barrier.

See here Justin Yap.
He won Best Eveningwear during MIFA two years ago... when he was 20.

Jess from Andrews Models, stylist Calvin Cheong, designer Justin Yap, me in my non-red phase @ the Robinson's launch @ Gardens Midvalley

If you've always aspired to be a fashion designer, this is just one of the ways of starting (besides pursuing a course in it). You'd get to be involved in the final presentation of a model on the runway!

The hair!

Emmeline Ng backstage

The make up!

The models...

Took this at the Robinson's Launch as well
JustinYap and i were trying (rather unsuccessfully) not to drool so obviously at this particular dude, our jaws hanging open all.

The B-Boy Dance Challenge is also till 31 October 2007.

A video of you and 5 friends have to be sent in to digistreetblast@gmail.com with the subject 'Dance'
And like the fashion one, 8 finalists will be selected whereupon they'll compete at the KL Finals.

Winning group gets RM2,000 prize money + 6 x Nokia 5610 XpressMusic + and a trip to bust those moves elsewhere by competing overseas! Nice.

1st runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5700 XpressMusic
2nd runner-up gets > 6 x Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

So not only do you know how to move, you in most probability have a sexy bod from all the workout plus you have high stamina which equals to *cough* being extremely... healthy. Yeah, healthy.

Bet your saham will naik with the chicks, man.

Now.
We've been talking and talking about the Fuyoh! Fashion Design Contest and the B-Boy Dance Challenge, and how they winner will emerge in the KL Finals.

But what the heck is this KL Finals?

It's at the Fuyoh Street Blast la. (aiyo are you following me or not?)

Besides finding out who won the Inter-Varsity Sports Championships, and who the winners are for the fashion and B-boy contests, there'll be heaps of other workshops and mini competitions lined up for those of you (like me) who didn't end up joining either of the main ones.

X-Games! - BMX, In-Line Skating, Skate Boarding

I used to rollerblade every single day without fail back in the 90s.
Woo...
Almost killed myself too when I bladed downhill and went faster then the car next to me and didn't know how to stop -_-

Dance! - Breakdance, Shuffle, Freestyle and Capoiera Workshops

Capoiera @ Kuching Rainforest Music Fest

Hmm remember the Atmosphere days?
:p That was so... five years ago.
That's where I met so many of the people I still see today :D
And we used to cheer PassedOutBen on cos he could shuffle in perfect agility for the big guy he was back then (now he lost weight see)

None of us oldies shuffle anymore. But it's amusing to see how the new ones do it.
Though I feel like throwing something at them when I see someone shuffling to RNB = absolute rubbish okay.

Shufflers at the previous PD rave

Arts & Crafts - Graffiti and other funky techniques
Arts and crafts! Wee... i always wanted to teach children arts and crafts in kindergarten.
Show them how to draw fairies and start a fairy cult.

As for graffiti, I love admiring and taking pictures of them, but I don't have a knack for it.
Here's a masterpiece by AhHoong aka DozyDidjital aka Didjital from the Bass Agents

Damn cemerlang right?

Besides all those activities, you can also get awesome stuff with Digi's fun games

Bid Dat! - Bid for goodies from as low as RM1
Spin & Win - Reload and spin away for cool prizes
G-Force!

Oh my god.
I love G-Force.
It doesn't last long but I remember taking it twice before - once with AdamPoserPan in Singapore and another with GarfieldChak at the KL Tower rave.

And if that's not enough, there are more performances lined up (Walau. Type it also get tired already)

Rock hard with shows by local artistes, uni bands, and dance champions, not forgetting special appearances by DIGI CelebriTeen finalists.

For the performances, Gerhana Ska Cinta, Joe Flizzow, Sierra, Letto from Indonesia will be playing.

Joe Flizzow laughing

Took that in Gabriel's apartment for a feature article for Vida! mag a year ago.

Letto from Indonesia

I must say I adore Indonesian bands.
They have this way of relating their lyrics and it always turns out damn emo.
>_<

It's usually listening to the songs over and over that I end up taking to it, then I'll be so semangat i'll search up the lyrics and once, I even translated Sheila On Seven's Sephia to English.
:p

Other Malaysian indie bands playing will be Raw n G$, Mono lo-fi minimal, Tnoze/sash, Hujan, Debunga, and Mines Mayor.

Also showing up will be Da Yellow Coverage Fellow.

How can we not know that Yellow Coverage Fellow?
I think he'll be most popular person that day.
Everyone will want to take pictures with him... including me!

So remember, slash 24th November off your calendar and check out happy-coloured digi.com.my/fu-yoh for more info (plus there's heaps of other info and buttons to mess about with there.)

When: 24th of November

Dying.

"What are you doing?"
"I'm dying."

That's my line for the week.
Been so insanely busy, so much admin work (sorry but i hate hate hate admin work. i feel it's so brainless and just takes up time :p but no choice. have to do -_-), articles (more deadlines next week...urk), keep on rewriting this advertorial (i'm succumbing to my first advertorial 'cos they're paying what i asked for :p), my room's still not done, my dog's upsetting me cos he's got a new wound (just made another app with the vet for later), still have to attend events for work, been sleeping an average of 4 hours a night, got sick since Wed but no way to take MC cos so many things to do anyway, everyone's staying away from my food and drink cos of my cough and fever, thanks to NotYourAverageJo who derma-ed me some Clarinase to save my nose.

I took a nap for the first time in the office on Wednesday.
>_<
Decided to stay on in city centre till the Marketplace event at night and i couldn't tahan so badly, i lay on the sofa and crashed for an hour.

Been thinking i want to migrate to Perhentian and become a full-time dive instructor like Tim suggested so i can just swim, dive and sleep.

And think about it!
I wouldn't need money to shop cos i don't have to make any impressions.
I don't have to keep up with trends cos bikinis there are always in trend.

Can makan puas-puas.

Okay la, let's face it.
I might get bored after a month.

Back to work.

Oh, Yay!

La Bodega opened in Pavilion a 3-minute walk from the office on Tuesday
We had our weekly meeting there yesterday

Lam: "Guys, order your drinks first."

Everyone ordered juices and stuff, but i really wanted my wine
And i always order wine when i go to La Bod in the daytime...
So i ordered wine >_< to the comments that i'm alcoholic

"Eh, i'm stressed out. And i haven't drank for two days okay."

Chorus: "WOWWWW"
"Yeah man, two days, so long!"

Damn sarcastic dot com.

Sobering Up

Shit. Trying to sober up now 'cos i have an article to magically churn out for KLue and an advertorial to clean up.
Champion.

So in some effort (cos really, i tried a different approach just now but tak jadi) i shalt blog instead.
And shower.
And change out of my clothes which smell of smoke and alcohol according to my mother.

In retrospect, i had a pretty bad day today.
But i won't speak much about it.
Just... nature taking its course. And life to be learnt (so emo -_-)

Anyway, alcohol cures (or makes you forget at least)

Happy Birthday Mui!

More pictures later.
Shower now.

What a Find!

Yes, i've actually been tidying, sorting and cleaning.
KinkyPugKevin said people balked when he told them i was at home cleaning instead of out partying.

I've found the most ridiculous things in my quest for more space to grab at things i *really* need on an everyday basis.

First (out of many) was this ice cream box. Plain 'ol ice cream box, with its former sticker torn off. In the cream-coloured ice cream box was... macaroni. Blue macaroni. Leftover blue macaroni from an art project and god knows why i kept the rest of the pieces, possibly in some lame attempt to use them to decorate another present perhaps? But it just never happened. -_-

Then i found fishing string. -_- I don't even fish. I've never fished in my life. I cannot, for the fairy in me, remember why i have two coils of fishing string in my room.

Came across a whole collection of bouncy balls. Eleven to be exact. And was thinking why the fuck do i have so many for, then i remembered. At least i have *one* glitter ball. -_-

And of course, the regulatory photographs and letters that reminded me of different phases, exes and places.
Hey, no one used a digicam back in the day and it was all printed out okay.

ALOT of other rubbish i came across - papers of different colours and textures, all sorts of paints, many-sized brushes, ALOT LA.

Here come the good news.

I stumbled upon vintage earrings my grannie gave me a long time ago and never appreciated at the age of 13.
Thank God i never threw them away! (inner voice: that's cos you don't throw away anything -_-)
Not just one pair, not two, but five! So gorgeous!
*hugs box*

And i found an extra Nokia phone. -_- I totally forgot all about it. I hid it in some jewelry box and forgot i hid it there for safekeeping so i would remember but i forgot in the end.
-_-

Picked up an abundance in coins and money lying around.
The best was stumbling upon an extra ang pow.

Must. Be. So. Careful. From. Now!

New from Mindvalley - SocialRank.Com

Experimental Bukan Nekkid La

TomHayton expressed how he wanted to shoot portraits of roughly ten random people in KL to form a series for an exhibition
See his (very short) post here

When i told CherubicCho Tom was going to do some experimental shots, Cho went, "That means you're posing nude!"

Not nude la idiot.
See.

Tom's concept is to talk to the person till they forget they're actually in a shoot, so they end up smiling naturally or, as exemplified in the picture above, i was deep in thought about CNN (or was it CNBC?) reporting that FB is reputedly worth over 8 mil USD now.

Actually no la. I was thinking about lunch.

If anyone is interested in sponsoring the rest of the series, please email him at tomhayton@gmail.com

(Btw he didn't ask me to write that, i did so solely on my own basis okay)

What someone DID ask me to write *cough*pietrofelix*cough* about is
Mix FM's Retro Mix Party

Taken off FB :p

"The first ever Retro Mix Party is coming to Maison.
Come and meet Ika, Serena C, Pietro, Ross, Sham and our new announcers, Jay Menon and Jojo Struys.

Featuring The Jakeman and Pietro spinning your favourite R&B and Hip Hop retro tracks. And a few added on surprises.

FREE ENTRANCE AFTER 11!!!"

Nuts, already 122 people confirmed attendance on FB and 213 that might show up.

So come by for a full-on retro party!

Where: Maison, Asian Heritage Row
When: Saturday, October 20
Time: 11pm-2am

I'm Being So Distracted

from cleaning my room and doing whatever else i'm supposed to be doing.
I seem to be in a funny mood.
Turned down a few parties and ffk-ed PugKevin for Armin tonight cos i just feel lazy/tired/stormy weather making me cosy/want to psych myself further to sort out room

I sent Kevin a picture of my room to let him see.
He replied with "People like you make me think my room is perfect" (or something like that) and ended with 'Thank you.'

-_-

I asked NickIsTaller to help me move out my desk (cos i don't even sit at it anymore) to make more space
"Well, first you have to move the stuff out of the way right. -_-"
"I know la, i know!"

Mummy inspected my collection of handbags i lay in a line in the hall
"How many arms do you have, you tell me."

-_-

How can a woman say that to another?
Sacrilegious.

A Place, My Place(?)

As i sift through the mountains of press releases, CDs, clothes, bags, presents that i love, presents that i'll never use, free gifts from events, more clothes, accessories, even more clothes, art stuff, books, cards, wire, paints; the thought of getting a place to call my own was being pondered on even more then ever before.

Buying an apartment is something that most of my friends in their late 20s are doing, so it isn't something that i feel pressured to do. Plus since moving back home early this year, i love seeing my family and dog for even a little while a day. There's less petty fighting. More communication. Deeper understanding. More tolerance.

Some friends complain that they want to move out asap because their parents keep on asking them to come home early and they can't bring people home.
Well i don't have that problem because my parents don't babysit and breath over my shoulder, and i don't bring people home.

The grown up part of me went around asking close friends like LaughingLoga who've just acquired new property how much was down payment, monthly installments, etc.

Then over dinner with the girls this week, we all discussed we'd try to obtain a place of our own by next year (reasonable right? i think it's a reasonable time line goal...), whether we'd rent it out and maybe we'll rent out everything and all stay in one and have a bachelorette pad.

This will be hard... have to take less holidays and shop much less.
Think of the return in investment, Joyce! Think about it!

Sigh.

The hippie part of me is wishing i could just move around the world and work as i go along.

....

My brother just saw me online - "Your room cleaning plan tergendala already ar."

-_- Ok ok back to the room cleaning.
