Ushering in the New Year

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in , , ,

Ok, so I'm like 15 days behind from wishing everyone a happy new year. So "HAPPY NEW YEAR, FELLOW BLOGGERS!!!!" :D

I ended 2009 pretty much with a big bang. I had never been so busy year-end but 2009 was pretty exceptional (hence, another long MIA from me... urgh.)

Anyways, I got myself some new 'toys' to play with, which has been keeping me occupied most times. I finally bought myself a MacBook Pro (which I HEART so much that I don't know how I managed to use Windows-based PC in the past. lol). I even bought myself a Crumpler bag specifically just for my Mac. lol.

To add on to my "Apple" family, I even got myself an iPhone. Now that I'm on the iPhone, I have no idea how the hell I'm ever going to go back to your average just-for-calls-and-SMS type of phone. I love the fact that I'm always connected on the internet. I love how supportive the iPhone communities are (we all share Application tips and what not). I love the cool and fun applications on the iPhone and how easy it is to download them (and I've recently discovered Podcast materials, mainly Stand Up Comedies... which is awesome entertainment btw).

Can you tell how in love I am with the iPhone? Lol.

So I ended 2009 with a bang.

And starting 2010 with an adventure.

My 2 girlfriends and I are doing our trip to Europe this coming February. YAY!!! We'll be hitting Paris, Vienna, Prague and Berlin on this trip. Planning for this trip has been really time-consuming as we're trying to keep within our budgets.

We've started our travel blog for this trip. So head over to We're Not That Lost in Europe: The Chronicles to read about our "little" adventure. And if you have traveling tips or know of places we should do or things we ought to try over there, just hit us with your comments! :D

Road Trip and the New BFF

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in , , ,

I'm off for another road trip with Bibik, Mama Diva and Fung Couture. Yes, it's gonna be one very gay weekend indeed!

This time we're heading down to Melaka and will be staying at Bibik's. We're actually there to celebrate his niece's full moon, but I have alterior motives to be there.

Remember this post where I said I wanted to get a dog? Well, thanks to Bibik's dad, I'll be getting a toy poodle! :D She's just perfect for me: tiny, low maintenance, suitable for condo living and most importantly, very sociable (although reports of her barks sounding like Mama Diva kinda worries me.. hmm... ).

I'm so excited and I can't wait to meet her.

I suppose this is how a woman would feel when she's waiting for the birth of her child from a surrogate mother, huh?

Here's a glimpse of my Sasha Fierce:

The World's Most Unphotogenic Poodle!



Sorry, I haven't been able to stop by all your blogs as I've got 10 mins to pack before Bibik screams at me. You guys have a great weekend ahead and talk to you guys soon.

xoxo,
Perky.

The Tuk-a-Klook-Klook Spotted Around Malaysia

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in ,

The photo below is proof that the tuk-a-klook-klook species is NOT a myth.

The female species doing the tuk-a-klook-klook salute


This female species of the tuk-a-klook-klook has been spotted wandering around Malaysia. She was first spotted in Kuching two Saturdays ago, where she met up with her tuk-a-klook-klook mate.

The male tuk-a-klook-klook is not known for its hostility


An unidentified source has confirmed that she was indeed in Kuching and that her purpose there was to attend her human friend's wedding. She first met Bart back in 1994 when she was sent to study the lives of the human species for future hostile takeover purposes. Throughout the years they underwent military training and specialized in the fighting discipline of Taekwon-Do. They fought many enemies together and often took home the spoils of war.

Over the years, they forged & maintained a great friendship. Although he enjoys picking her up & throwing her into swimming pools (or in some cases, the sea), he does entertain her with human stories. She even counts him as one of her tuk-a-klook-klook brother-generals. A useful friend to have should she ever be captured and tried under the human's court of law.




The female tuk-a-klook-klook in her human form in order to blend in with society


On last Wednesday there were rumors that the female tuk-a-klook-klook had landed in Kuala Lumpur. It was said that due to the weakened stage when she was in her human form in Kuching, she had contracted the human virus strand known as the F.e.V.Er virus. Our scientists claims that this was because the tuk-a-klook-klooks do not tolerate rain and high levels of alcohol.

Just when our local authorities were about to capture and quarantine her, the female tuk-a-klook-klook took off to Melaka. This time she was joined there by her "unique" friend, Bibik Nyonya for his sister's wedding.

As of yesterday evening, we have received reports that she is back in Kuala Lumpur but is currently in hiding.


Please do not engage the female tuk-a-klook-klook in any way as it appears she has a secret poisonous tentacle in her pants as evident in the photo below (unconfirmed reports say that the poison from this tentacle will leave you laughing shits & giggles):


If you encounter this tuk-a-klook-klook, please avoid making direct contact with her as she is now carrying the Fl-U virus (a less dangerous version of the F.e.V.Er virus but just as contagious). But rest assured, she will not elude capture much longer.

Lol!

I'll be away from my blogging for about 10 days or so. I'll miss you all while I'm away (who would've thought I'd be this addicted to blogging and reading all your thoughts).

Well, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Eat well, shit well, and be good to one another! :)

The Land Down Under

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in , , ,

I'm pretty psyched about my upcoming trip to Australia this Saturday. Yes, people, I'll be celebrating Christmas and New Years in the Land Down Under! Woohoo!

But as much as I love the sun, I'm really not looking forward to the summer heat. That, and the bugs and spiders that are Australia's version of cockroaches to me. *shudders at the thoughts of those God-forsaken creatures*

Anyways, I'll be spending about 10 days in Perth. So I did some Googling and realize that Perth and I don't have much in common. I'm not much of a shopper kinda girl. I don't buy material stuff. I prefer to "buy" the experience/adventure... and food.

I definitely wanna go surfing (although Perth isn't well known as a surfer's paradise). But still, it's better than nothing. Hopefully I'll get to see some hot surfer dudes, like the ones you get in Gold Coast ;)

I envy Carly Smith - pictured here doing what she does best



Oh, and I definitely wanna go to the Zoo coz it won't be an Aussie trip without me hugging a koala or feeding the kangaroos.

I dont' care how much they stink or how rough their fur feels. I just wanna squeeze a koala



The one that's at the top of my to-do list is visiting the vineyards. Mmmm... Australian wine. Just thinking about the wine tasting trips is already making me warm and bubbly. I absolutely love wine (something I "inherited" from my dad, much to my mom's displeasure).

The second closest thing to paradise on earth - vineyards!



I'm not quite the wine expert like my dad, but I'm slowly getting there. I can basically tell you where the wine's from (Australia, France, South America, etc). Some people can tell the year the wine was made, the flavor, the body, etc. I'm not there yet, but I'm sure with practise (and I don't mind lots of it), I'll be quite the expert myself ;)

I could do this everyday! (Taken from the movie "A Good Year")



So apart from these 3 things, I'm not sure what else I'm going to do with my time. I didn't fly there just so I could get drunk on wine and eat fish-n-chips everyday. So, if you guys have any suggestions on how I can fill up my time in Perth, let me know! :)

Haven't I Learned My Lesson Yet??

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in , , ,

It happened to me before and I thought, geez, NEVER EVER will I get myself into that situation EVER AGAIN.

But noooOOOoooOOooo, me being a slow learner, it'll probably take me another 271 times to finally stop making this mistake again.

Lesson to Learn?

Never let dirty panties pile up for a week... especially if I'm going away for another weekend roadtrip.

*Perky will be joining her best frenemy Le Queen Bitch in his hometown for the weekend. You guys have a great weekend and see you all next week! :)

Well, ExcuuuuUUuuussssee Me!

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in ,

I've been away quite awhile now huh? Ok, first things first. I need to get a router. Having 2 laptops at home with only one connection is like being tied to a chair and having to watch others eat the buffet spread in front of you.

It would be nice to come home everyday and not help wash the dishes shower not lift a single finger and switch on the laptop and stay online til wee hours in the morning but my Obsessive Compulsive Behavior doesn't permit me such luxury. Oh, and there's that other thing called Watching The Television, which is a must for me in order to get a good night's sleep.

So yeah, I think it's about time I get a router.

Anyways as you all know, I went to Penang for a weekend trip with my gurls. It was a blast. 3 days of non-stop laughing and eating and shopping. What made this trip soooOOoooOOoooO damn fun was that non of us have any issues with each other. I'm not going to bother writing about the trip as you can read that in Le Queen Bitch's blog.

New friendships was forged with Chucky (our super awesome tour guide), Ms. Tiew (her equally cool & sporting brother), June (Le Queen and Catty's colleague & a bigger camwhore than Le Queen) and David (Le Queen's friend who guarantees you a shits-and-giggles time).

You know what, it's such a rare thing to genuinely like people you've never met before (and even rarer for them to like you just as much), let alone spend the entire weekend with them. But that's what happened. We loved, loved, loved hanging out with each other that we're planning to go on for more trips together :)




What did I buy in Penang? I got myself the complete season 1 of Gossip Girl dvd. I've heard so much hype about the show that I just had to watch it for myself. Can you believe it that I only paid RM8 for the entire season 1??? We should all just stay in Penang and live on watching pirated DVDs all day long. Or we could all pass our wish list to Chucky and she could buy it for us ;)



So when we got back to Kuala Lumpur, catching up on GG was the first thing I wanted to do. Watching dvds all day long is one of the reasons why I didn't immediately jump into my blogging habits. OMG, I was addicted to the show! My fav character is definitely Blair. Who doesn't love the Queen B?

By the time I was done, I went for a short trip to Genting with McChef, Catty and Le Queen to watch the Glenn Miller Orchestra perform. Over 200 pics were taken that night (coz we all are camwhores) and some definitely have potential to be used as my new blog header.

So now I'm editing those pics, which btw, is taking up so much of my time due to my lack of skills on using the photoshop software.

And that's pretty much what I've been up to lately. But for now, it's off to the editing room I go!

Off to Another Adventure! Yee-Haw!!

Scribbled by Perky | Chucked away in ,

We're off to another adventure this weekend. I'll be going to Penang with the lovely sistahs Le Queen Bitch, Mama Diva and Catty. Aaah, the weekend away from the strict regime otherwise known as McChef ;)

I haven't gotten around to writing the list of things I want to do or places I want to see as suggested by Mama Diva. I do suspect we'll be doing lots of camwhoring though... Oh my, I haven't even packed yet (oh I hate packing!!)!

Will be back on Tuesday. So have a great weekend ahead & Happy Deepavali!



xoxo,
Perky.
