chaka chaka

so this has been the best weekend in yonks.

firstly, no work. secondly, adik khairul aka hanip proclaimed awhile back that he had never (like never) experienced the trashy guilty pleasure that is karaoke. for real, i never knew people like this existed. so off we went to pop his k-cherry with aplomb.

but before that, some asianposes with my lovely.

they made us, VIP red box “members” wait a whole 7 minutes for the room. oh, the travesty.

the only logical karaoke joint was red box at the curve, which we dropped by at 11pm. cipet, missed the buffet. i officiated the cherry-popping ceremony with “北京一夜” which elicited what i could only imagine was a mixture of chagrin, amazement and horror. haniff was wondering what the hell he got himself into.

hello. like only the bestest fun ever. there was no mic-hogging solo bullshit that night. every song was a group anthem to be yelled out at the top of our lungs. so much so in fact, i secretly had to lower the mic volume more than a couple of times. (sorry, by.)

haniff, i hope you appreciated this. just for you.

6 jugs of beer worked their magic, loosening tongues and ridding us all of that nasty habit we call manners. soon there was dancing and jumping and gyrating to: michael learns to rock. fool’s garden. queen. cranberries. britney. kanye “i am the biggest douchbag in the history of mankind” west featuring estelle. backstreet boys. KRU. peterpan. beatles. carpenters. the darkness.

anthemic. that’s right.

we sang ourselves hoarse.

kanye west still fucking sucks.

i was initially worried we wouldn’t last till 4am. but of course none of them wanted to leave when the time came because awesome karaoke sessions with the awesome evil gang are well, awesome.

pump enough beer into ‘em and suddenly everyone wants their 5 minutes.

no prizes for guessing what poses these are.

thanks to all the attendees of justincat’s evil karaoke cherry-popping red box session, do come again. we’ll miss you, hanip. x

“Do more of the things I like to do and fewer of the things I don’t like.” – Stephan Sagmeister

some things are so simple that they need saying over and over again.

with the brilliant (and hot) Eva Rucki from troika and lainie

since i missed the sagmeister conference in august i’m elated to be going for kl design week’s MMC (Maximum Minimalism Conference) with lainie this sunday. woohoo!

earth hour. saturday, 28th march. 8:30pm wherever you are.

i don’t buy into it. it’s a nice cause. a nice way to spread the word. but i hate the sheer yuppiness of it. so, you’ll make a concious effort to conserve energy for a whole hour out of 1 year. 365 days. what are you doing the other 21899 hours?

i stay up at night with a 60 watt tungsten lighting up my room. with the fan on to keep me company. i do this year-round. there isn’t any super incentive to be a part of earth hour other than “the rest of the world is doing”.

on saturday, 28th march, at 8:30pm, i will be turning on all the lights. i will crank up the air-conditioning (before it falls into complete disuse). i will turn on my disco lights. i will blast my speakers. i will do all this as my stand against walking the talk. but for only an hour out of the whole year.

so after talking to bran about VGL and how we’re so going, he mentioned that there was “some final fantasy thing” happening in may.

oh, a final fantasy thing. that sounds nice.

it was is distant worlds, which of course, is completely, totally crazily sold out.

i think bee yen and i are going to cry our eyes out tonight.

i got forwarded this link for a g33kworthy, droolsome event in singapore. yeah, of course singapore.

video games live
say that again?

Video Games Live
i didn’t hear you.

FREAKING VIDEO GAMES LIVE BITCHES!

yar. it’s video game music played live by an orchestra and choir + video game footage + synched lighting + do you need more reasons?

too bad square enix is a dick and prohibits use of their game videos/cutscenes/fmvs but all i’m thinking is i want to hear my favourite

lapsap bbq special charity

date: 29 march 2009
time: 1 – 7pm
venue: palate palette

mmmmm… lapsap bbq. i love buying jacinta’s stuff. y’know, you’re not really cool till you’re wearing castoffs clothing from someone on the KL cool list. /s

but seriously. her stuff = hot

also check with vendors, lapsap and a few others will be donating 10% of their proceeds to the MAA-MEDIcare Kidney Charity Fund which is awesome. plus lucky draw and the usual airkissairkisswavehihi thing that us KL trust fund kids (term snagged off huai bin) are so fond of.

it’s terrible that i never pay attention to event names and such. just found out what it was called today. i don’t know, i was too busy oggling siau’s designs to have a look at the event details. free flow was supposed to go on for 2 hours or when it ran out, whichever came first. who knew the lapsap crowd is a thirsty crowd. i only got 2 beers the whole night and random sips from various drinks. felt a bit high though. probably due to the absolut kurrant still making its rounds in my blood stream.

super girl and mr. a’s super coaster hat.
the coasters were one of my favourite things of the night.

me and cat. we bonded while shooting a tvc and now we’re gossip girls. haha.

more of suet’s cool shite. godzilla. haha. inside joke. :p

blink: errrr… what song comes next?
xu: i don’t know. did you see a little girl stalking me? O_O

xu: speak of the devil…
baby: nak fringe macam xu!

boys from IF Interactive (cool site).
i heard rumours that our agencies have beef with each other. whatever. how childish.

lovelies and our new “sis-in-law” ;p
from l-r: baby, just, kellie, al. wayhan in background, wtf!

mmmmm… 2-headed giant 3D godjira with light show.

at the entrance we were all given 2 badges each and were supposed to collect all 11.
wtf. i just ganked them behind ivan’s back. wheeeee~!

lainie can has badge?

ronn’s supermodel stance.

damn badges were clacking away with every step i took.

i thought this was kellie’s collection. but… the top ain’t the same. who is this??
baby la! kellie’s is a little too obscene to post up :p

dell is really awesome. i admire clients who are open to fun stuff without sweating the anal details. i’d say people enjoyed it, and while the branding was everywhere it was nice to look at, not overpowering. good job, guys. love you all!

i thought the rsvp list a nice touch. ’tis usually just an email reply.

am quite surprised people still use their “blog names” for events. like “oh, am i supposed to not riducule your stupid name?” yeah, i know who you are, but i refuse to acknowledge it!

:D
