"TIED-UP": THE IAMSFW NEWSLETTER

Welcome to another edition of "Tied-Up". I'm your editrix, Mrs. I.M. Raipt, and this is the monthly newsletter for those dabbling in speculative "slash" fiction based on TV shows. We're probably the most reviled bunch of rip-off writers working illegally on the internet today, so it's always safer to be in numbers - and that's why our group, the IAMSFW, was started.

So let's take a look at what some of our members have been working on:

"MR. MONK SAID YOU'LL SPANK ME LATER"
L.E. Gildborg has come up with yet another in his long line of 'Monk' rip-offs. This time around, Adrian Monk experiments with bondage. But as always, the novel ends up with a four-way orgy involving his assistant Natalie and his friends in the police department, Captain Stottlemeyer and Lt. Disher. There is a twist, however. Sharona comes back to join in the fun, which freaks out Mr. Monk - he never did care for odd numbers.....

"TIME FOR HER TUNNEL"
Having finished with his re-imagined series of "skinjob" porn for 'Battlestar Galactica', R. Mooron is having a go at creating a series of rape fantasies centered around 'The Time Tunnel'. He promises that each short story in the collection will either feature Dr. Anne MacGregor being sodomized by someone in the Operation TickTock facility, or Tony and Doug having their way with the women they meet throughout History. Here we see Dr. Ray Swain sodomizing Anne in one of the lighter stories.....

"HULK SCREW POOCH!"
Continuing her series in which TV superheroes delve into bestiality, Ms. J. Asspinchin presents this adorable little tale - or is it tail? - in which 'The Incredible Hulk' causes some poor dog to explode. I'm sure it will prove as popular as her story last month, which featured 'The Greatest American Hero' and an emu......

"ROGER? RAM THIS!"
J. Whored has come up with a real beaut when it comes to cartoon slash-fic, as he explores the obscene phone calls made by General Brassbottom from the 'Roger Ramjet' series. It's all presented as dialogue, something like a one-man play......

"A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS"
Jumping on the 'Kings' bandwagon before NBC yanks it off the air, M. Gangreen takes us to the royal bedchamber where Silas subjects David to a very special "investiture ceremony". The story really heats up though, when David introduces Silas to "Little Goliath"....

"AC69"
I don't think "Tied-Up" has ever had such a combination of slash-fic as S.J. Cannelingis presents this week, with his mix of a news broadcast and puppetphilia..... And finally.....

"WHO IN THE WORLD IS IN MATT LAUER?"
We have an anonymous submission this month, which takes a "probing" look backstage at the 'Today' show. Rumor has it that the story was written by one of the on-screen personalities involved!

I don't know about you, but the whole idea gives me the Willards.....

Well, that wraps it up for another "Tied-Up" email newsletter for IAMSFW, the society of slash-fic writers. But before we go, let me just add......

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!

THE HAT SQUAD: ANDY HALLETT & MONTE HALE

Two actors who enriched Toobworld have passed away in the last few days. Andy Hallett died on Sunday of heart failure; he had coronary problems since 2004. He's best known for playing Lorne, a somewhat fey demon who ran a nightclub for the supernatural. (I'm supposing the name Lorne was an in-joke because he was green, although the Toobworld splainin was that it was short for his full name.)

Andy Hallett
"Angel" .... Lorne (76 episodes, 2000-2004)

"The Enforcers" (2001) TV mini-series .... Wallace

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" .... Student
- Hush (1999)

Only a few months ago, I was making the Wish-craft that Hallett should appear as Lorne in an episode of 'Supernatural'; it would have been - ahem! - a natural. But now that can never be....
~~~
Monte Hale may well have been the last of the B movie Western stars, and the last of the Singing Cowboys at that, like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. I'm assuming that the amount of work he did for the movies played a large role in why he didn't show up that often in all of the TV Westerns of the 1950's.

Monte Hale
"America 2-Night"
- Monty Hale (1978)

"Gunsmoke"
- Uncle Finney (1968) TV episode .... Bank Teller
- Blue Horse (1959) TV episode .... Sergeant

"Honey West" .... Sheriff Johnson
- How Brillig, O, Beamish Boy (1966)

"The Texan"
- Image of Guilt (1959)

"Tales of Wells Fargo" .... Sergeant Bergman
- The Deserter (1958)

"Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" .... Doyle Fetcher
- The Runaway Wizard (1958)

I'd like to think that the Sergeant he played in the 1959 episode of 'Gunsmoke' became the bank teller he played nearly ten years later on the series. And who knows? Maybe that Sergeant was the Sergeant Bergman in the 'Tales Of Wells Fargo' episode. But of course that all depends on their fates in those episodes.

Both Andy Hallett and Monte Hale couldn't have come from two more different genres, but they both shared the same Toobworld. And Toobworld Central tips our toob top to them.

Good night, and may God bless....

AS SEEN ON TV: SASQUATCH

"As Seen On TV" celebrates those real world people, both living and dead, who are portrayed on Television by actors or drawn for the Tooniverse. Or even portrayed by puppets.

For today's showcase, we're taking a look at the real-life historical figure of Bigfoot, otherwise known as "Sasquatch".

In "The Secret Of Bigfoot", an episode of 'The Six Million Dollar Man', Colonel Steve Austin tangled with the legendary beast-man while searching for some missing seismologists.

Austin fought with Bigfoot which revealed that the creature was bionic as well, and serving as the sentry for an alien encampment to protect them from the outside world which was alien to them.

But even though this Bigfoot was more machine than creature, it didn't negate the Truth - Bigfoot exists!

One of its species adopted a human family named the Hendersons and they gave it the name of Harry.

Another one served as a companion and guardian to a feral teen raised in the forests and known as Wildboy.

And in the alternate TV dimension in which one could find the research compound known as 'Sanctuary', a Bigfoot works for Dr. Helen Magnus at the facility.

SHOWS CITED:

'The Six Million Dollar Man'

'Harry And The Hendersons'

'Bigfoot And Wildboy'

'Sanctuary'

SLASH FICTION

When Serena found the list of people her mother Lily had slept with, she said with exasperation, ""Mom. Slash? Really?"

Slash (AKA Saul Hudson) is a musician best known for his connection to Guns 'n' Roses. But he does have a televersion, albeit one with a strange pedigree. He appeared in an episode of 'The Drew Carey Show' and then apparently he crossed over to the Tooniverse. First he made contact with that animated dimension in an episode of 'Space Ghost: Coast To Coast', and then appeared in an episode of 'South Park' and several episodes of 'Kid Notorious', fully animated himself.

I suppose one could consider his appearance in the Kentucky Derby episode of Anna Nicole Smith's reality show to be another notch in his belt for Toobworld appearances, but that's just too sad to think about......

So Slash is just as much a TV character as Serena and Lily, and therefore - like Larry Sanders with Roseanne and Ellen DeGeneres (but not together!) - capable of having sex with Lily.

SHOWIN' A ZONK WHO'S THE BOSS!

New show started last week on ABC called 'In The Motherhood'. I was going to check it out, but Alan Sepinwall was so adamant about how bad it was in his own blog ("What's Alan Watching?" - the link is to the left, Dahlingks!) that I decided to skip the experience.

But according to TVGal, there was at least one Zonk that needed to be disabled. Because even though I didn't watch it, that doesn't mean the show didn't become part of Toobworld. This is Horatio and Jane and he brought up the Zonk to her:

"I know you have this whole Angela/Tony - 'Who's The Boss' thing going on."

Ooookay.....

Well, I think we could assume that Horatio was referring to two friends of theirs whom we in the TV audience will never get to meet. And the 'Who's The Boss' thing is just a classification nickname given to a situation in which a married couple struggle for dominance over each other.

So their friends Angela and Tony are in a spiritual tug of war when it comes to their relationship.

I know that I usually get tripped up when I try to surmise about a show which I didn't see, but hopefully this splainin will hold up.

And even if it doesn't, I get the feeling that 'In The Motherhood' won't be around long enough to really make any difference.....

Treasure Island Wedding {Part One}

So I would like to share with you my

Treasure Island Wedding
This lovely wedding took place in the very beautiful Casa De la Vista on Treasure Island in
San Francisco, CA.

Here is the happy couple, J&R, enjoying the blue skies and gorgeous bridge views on Treasure Island, in beautiful San Francisco. All the vendors were FABO: Chris from Chern Loong, Dorothy from Dorothy Hatchel Photography, Sunset Bakery, Kevin from Denon and Boyle and I bought the flowers and Jonathon arranged them! Lynne and the staff at Casa were so nice and I would love to work with them all again. Thanks to Alison and Brandon for coming through to help. :)

We crossed our fingers for good weather and I assured Julie that I would employ my skills as a weather changer...ok, ok...really, I stalked weather.com and hit up my almanac for last years weather. But I could tell her it wasn't going to rain and that we would be ok *cross my fingers*.

And guess what?? It worked, I'm magic. No rain.

Moving right along..... :)
So we proceeded to set up shop. First we made sure the aisle was big enough for Julie to walk down the aisle with both parents, ommitted an extra row from the front aisle so Dorothy(Dorothy Hatchel Photography) would have enough space to do her magic up there and then it was on to the place cards.


Ok brides out there, can I please ask a bug favor? Could you maybe alphabetize the place cards before packing them away? I will tell you why: when I opened this bag I could see that they meant well by placing them in the order that the guests would sit at the tables, however, it's way too hard for a guest to try to look at each table number in hopes of finding their name. So make sure they are alphabetized so that we can lay out the placecards and have the guests just look for their last name.
I laughed because I was saying out loud
"...ok, wait I have 12 Go's and like3 12 Wu's....so I need to start on their last names ok A,B,C,D...." yes, arranging Dave, Dan and Donna in order somethimes throws me off, hehe.

Then it was off to check on the ceremony site, the cocktail area, the reception room.
I loved how they used this hurricane glass to swirl in the napkins!I'm easily impressed :P


The view from Casa de la Vista was GORGEOUS!
I love San Francisco and to see it from this view was magical....

Here is the setting for the sweetheart table.

Look at this this ceremony site...is it not to die for? I fell in love with the tree as soon as I saw it.

Then it was time to get the tea ceremony going.

So I will continue with the tea ceremony, the western ceremony, and the lion dancers!

YA CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE

Monday's "Washington Post" took the TV series '24' to task for its inventions of locales in the Washington D.C. area, including a Port of Alexandria, a container shipping facility on the Potomac River. And they had terrorist go scuba diving right up underneath the White House and then tunnel their way in.

Howard Gordon, "24's" executive producer, admitted that he and his writers weren't that knowledgeable about the cartographic details for our nation's capital, but he also argued that they only have to be plausible, not literally accurate.

Linda Stasi of the "New York Post" had a similar complaint a few years ago about the fictional subway lines mentioned in the baseball series 'Clubhouse'.

But I have to argue against the need for an exact recreation of the geography - these shows are taking place in an alternate universe (and from there in separate TV dimensions. 'Clubhouse' is in Earth Prime-Time, the main Toobworld, and '24' has its own dimension - let's say... "Earth Prime-Time/24".)

I even have a splainin as to why the White House is sitting on top of a body of water. In an old episode of 'The Wild, Wild West' in which Edward Andrews played a villain named The Brain, there were caverns underneath the White House from which he plotted to replace President Grant with a look-alike. At least in that alternate world of '24', I'd argue that those caverns were flooded in order to prevent any other madman from ever trying to attack the Commander-In-Chief from that direction. (Just because '24' and 'The Wild, Wild West' don't share the same dimension, that doesn't mean the world of Jack Bauer and the CTU didn't have Secret Service agents Jim West and Artemus Gordon in its past.....)

In that article, Gordon went on to say that "The only people who really care about this are people with too much time on their hands."

And that would be me.....

CLAN BORAK

I know; it sounds like a story about Klingons....

Looking over that web page of "Repeat Offenders" which I mentioned in my "Jury Prudence" post, I found this bit o' trivia: over the many years that 'Law & Order' has been on the air, three different actors have played Borak the medical examiner:

Chip Zien
Timothy Britten Parker
Josh Pais Chip Zien was the first to play the role, in the first season episode "Happily Ever After". (Slightly off-topic, I wonder if the casting director had Zien in mind for that episode because he made a connection between "Happily Ever After" and "Into The Woods", the Sondheim musical about fairy tales?) Then Timothy Britten Parker took on the role in the second season episode "His Hour Upon The Stage". But then he was AWOL from the series until the 13th season, in which he returned as Borak in the episode "Mother's Day". Between those two appearances, Josh Pais played Borak from "American Dream" in the fourth season to the 13th season episode of "True Crime". Pais also played an unnamed medical examiner in two first season episodes - "Poison Ivy" and "Mushrooms". But to reduce the surplus population of Toobworld, I think we can safely assume that both of these were also Borak.

'Law & Order' is probably the most unadorned of TV shows; in the relative terms of television, it's probably the most "realistic". So even though it shares the same dimension as - and is closely linked to - 'The X-Files', 'Law & Order' doesn't lend itself to wild Toobworld splainins for recasting characters, like quantum leaping or alien impersonations.

Therefore, to clear up this case of recastaways, I'm going to suggest that all three Boraks were members of the same family who went into the same line of work. I have no problem thinking of them all as brothers; I've seen worse casting when it came to finding genetic similarities.

An interesting side-note: both Pais and Parker played a character named Cioran in first season episodes of 'Law & Order'. (First Pais in "The Reaper's Helper" and then Parker in "Life Choice" nine episodes later.) I admit I haven't done the research to find out who Cioran was and if they should be considered the same character or not.)

AS SEEN ON TV: PEDRO ZAMORA & "THE REAL WORLD" CAST

On Wednesday night, MTV will premiere "Pedro", a movie about the life of Pedro Zamora, who appeared on 'The Real World: San Francisco'. The movie will simulcast on mtvU, LOGO and MTV Tr3s at 8PM, with a special introduction by former President Bill Clinton.

From the press release supplied by MTV:

In 1994, Zamora captured the hearts of millions as the first-ever openly gay, HIV-positive main character on TV—on MTV’s 'The Real World: San Francisco'. Zamora’s time in the house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis. President Bill Clinton has long credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing the epidemic, and he will introduce "Pedro" when it makes its world television premiere April 1st.

“To this day, Pedro Zamora remains an extraordinary example of what a huge impact one young person can make in our world,” President Clinton said. “I’m glad to have known him, and I’m grateful his life has been able to inspire and enrich so many others.”

Told through the eyes of his friends and family, the film "Pedro" celebrates the extraordinary life a young man who found out he was HIV positive at 17, then made the courageous decision to dedicate his life to speaking out about the disease. Zamora testified before the United States Congress to argue for more explicit HIV/AIDS educational programs aimed at youth of color before auditioning for 'The Real World' in 1993.

Zamora’s story heightened awareness of the AIDS/HIV epidemic in America, and now 15 years after his death MTV will tell his story. From his early life in Cuba to his death at the age of 22, "Pedro" will give viewers a look into the life of this great man.

Pictured above are the actors from the TV movie, portraying the cast of that San Francisco chapter of 'The Real World'. Pedro is in the striped blue shirt.

Another, more infamous, resident of the Frisco house is behind him to the far left: Puck.

It just seems a shame that if they really wanted to get this message out, they wouldn't have scheduled it opposite 'American Idol' and 'Lost'.....

Alpacalypse Now Haiku

It is what it is

How's that working out for you?

Maybe tomorrow

Podium: Big Willy Style*

(*) Upon further review...Fourth.

Maybe Not So Much

Mongo just read that static stretching prior to any intense cycling can reduce power output by up to 30%...Holy S**t!

I have "always" stretched before riding. It's just something I never thought about otherwise.

I'm going no-stretch for the 23/2300 Hammerfest tonight to see if I can tell a difference.

Hopefully, I won't pull a hammy.

I initially bought it for...



Nano, but it's now PK's.

Got another pair of slippers also but I am damn lazy to go to the shoe cabinet to take photos...

Speaking of shoe cabinets...

I had a shoe cabinet that more like a tall bookshelf.

It was just beside the front door.

That day, I was eating lunch at the dining table and Pumpkin was running about. It was the second day I got her and she was so tiny!

THEN, a massive gale of wind blew into the house, and I saw the shoe cabinet waver, as if in slow motion.

IT WAS ABOUT TO FALL FORWARDS! And the bloody thing is laden with shoes and is about 2 metres high!!

AND WORST OF ALL MY PUPPY WAS RIGHT UNDER IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dramatically, I shouted "Noooooooo!" and ran towards the cabinet hoping to push it back into place but obviously I was too late.

My legs crumpled under the weight and I was crushed underneath cupboard, standing fan (was in front of cupboard and also fell knn) and an absolute avalanche of chio shoes I never bothered to wear. CCB!

Honestly man the first thing I thought of was "OMG is the puppy dead??" and I tried to crane my neck and move to see if Pumpkin was still around but she was nowhere to be found.

And then I found cuts on my arms and legs and realised the corner of the cupboard hit me on the neck. It's muthafucking painful man!! And I couldn't move!!

And my puppy's dead!!

I started sobbing and only managed to pry myself out after about 5 minutes.

Turns out all along Pumpkin was just watching from behind me. -_-

Anyway she stayed with me (licking and looking curiously at the mess) while I cried and called Mike to come home from work to comfort me coz I was so scared!! He came back immediately (his work is only like 2 minutes away from our place) and tucked me in to sleep.

Nabeh. Stupid Ikea cupboard.

The cut

I know it's not much but I also had a sore neck for the next like 4 days.

So yeah, stop saying I am so horrible ok! I bloody tried to save a goddamn puppy!! Admittedly the puppy cost me $2,800 lah but that wasn't what I was thinking about when I was playing the hero!



Here's pics of our 3rd Year Anniversary!!


Plugs:

Mosche for my awesome bleach job and great haircut (6735 2149)

Carrageen for great lash extensions (6222 3376)

Hotel Re! for free suite for the night! (6827 8288)



We planned for an awesome night!! First to Shashlik Restaurant to eat dinner (just like our anniversary 2 years ago), then to a Gold Class movie (Watchmen - sucked), then overnight at Hotel Re! in their Gold Suite!! Complimentary!

Mike looking just as cute as he did 3 years ago.



Me with my platinum blonde hair! I super loves it!!

The quality is not fantastic but I won't say it's any worse than my usual! If I knew earlier that bleaching it so light won't cause it to be completely frizzy I'd have bleached a long long time go man.

Shiny!



Happy baby



My eyes were half closed and I look like some sort of slutty mistress.



I love this pic and I love the hair!

In fact...



I love being blonde!



Escargots.

Mediocre, but then again I've never had
escargots that are less than yummy.



Borsch soup.

Delicious max!



My tenderloin with Foie gras pate atop it.
The steak is fantastic!



Mike's beef stroganoff. Not bad only.

This time I took a picture of the toothpick so I will know how to spell the restaurant's name!

After that we went for our movie at Vivo City. I've been reading good reviews on Watchmen everywhere. WTF?? It was so utterly horrible!

Since when do superhero movies not show what the superhero's powers are and where they come from??! And the lead guy (is it like Danny or whatever? The guy with the Owl spaceship) is like damn gross?

What's wrong with his lumpy lips? He definitely put collagen in them lor I swear! And he even put lip gloss on! OMG!

And the blue guy's DONG. I mean seriously lah, I get it that you are above all this super human intelligence and everything, but can't you put on some pants?? There he is yabbering about some philosophical nonsense and there his dick is, dangling and distracting me. Geez.

Hated it.

Finally, @ 2am, we checked in.


The suite is gorgeous!!

Giant plasma tv that built on a turn-able wall!



Round WATER bed.

Can't say I've slept on one of those before.



Now I can!



I love the toilet tiles. So ostentatious like me!





The toilet has a glass door and hugeass glass windows.

I guess it's not the sort of suite you'd wanna stay in with your mom, unless you are the sort who likes to watch your mom shower. Ew! What's wrong with you??

En-suite Jacuzzi!!

It was fantastic.

We took a nice long bubble bath in the Jacuzzi and mucked around till 4am.

We then slept till 12pm and ordered Room service (Chicken Curry and Seafood Hor fun) before a late check-out at 2pm!

Shiok max.

View from our room. I love those pink and green buildings!



Loves!!!!!!!!!



More Pumpkin

She has a million hair clips by now haha...





I taught her to sit within 10 minutes of training!





PK in my Gojane.com box of shoes



Napping on a tissue box cover











I mosaic-ed my cleavage. It looks gross.









She broke that thing.


CNY at Stanley's place






Estee and Ming



Look at his humongous swimming pool...

Guess what? From the underground pool room you can see people swimming!!




Bathtub like a hotel's

Ming's friend and Mike

Anyway Stanley's place has bloody flamingos! Like 2 real flappy pink flamingos! And 2 or 3 Crown birds! I don't know their actual name but they look like this:

(Credits to whoever took this photo)

And they will peck you if you go too close to them!

I tried to take a photo to show you all but all I got was a darkish patch:

See, I never bluff you!!
I swear they are wear the arrows are pointed at!

I've always wanted to strangle a flamingo but I don't think Stanley's dad will take too kindly to that as they cost $30,000 each.

See, I told you PK is not an expensive pet. Geez!

Random: KK and Michelle when we all went to JB

RVHS Ten Year Reunion!

I was so happy to see my secondary 3 classmates after 10 whole years! Thanks to Jessica, Hotel Re! provided the venue for our little gathering, including KTV!

It was nice.

So formal!



That's Jess in the power suit.
She's married already and she's my age. -_-



Pink and Green! Loves

In the background, "If we hold on together" is playing. Back in River Valley, the school used to play this song all the time for us to sing to!

I remember during the last day of Sec 4, the school made us all gather at the assembly hall and we all held hands and sang together for the last time.

Many people cried!! I think I might have too. It was seriously quite sad.

My plate

Wong the lawyer hogging the mic.

Nobody dared to take it from her coz we were all scared she'd sue us.



Wong with Ripple, who is also engaged!

WTF!!!!!!! Mike!



Boys: Jia Wei, Gilbert and Ian

Yixun (far left, stunned face) and Huilin (next to him, acting chio haha) got together AFTER school ended!! It's seriously weird and romantic at the same time.

Far right: Sheng rong doing some sort of happy dance, wtf.

Ripple Huifen me



All of us!

Honestly man people all haven't changed that much.

We were discussing who changed the most (looks) and Wong said it might be Sheng Rong (who seriously buffed up and grew much taller) but I very indignantly said "BUT I CUT HALF OF MY NOSE OFF!! Nobody else did plastic surgery!!"

Honestly man... You can't change more than that... Grumble grumble...

I am the one who changed the most!! Hmpf! I must be first at everything!

Anyway it would be fun to show you guys a photo of us all ten years ago but I am too lazy. I might do it later.

Wisdom teeth:

Bottom.

Had to be broken into a million pieces
before they could be extracted.

CCB. I hate them. HATE them!

This was taken before KK and I went to Lorong Halus. She said she was hungry, so I offered her some soup that I cooked the night before.

Potato, carrot and corn soup, cooked with Pork ribs. It is damn yummy.

We found a worm in the corn.

FUCKING DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't see it when I was washing and cutting the corn (NTUC btw) because the bloody worm was completely hidden under the corn kernels!

And only a little bit of the tail was visible! I honestly thought it was a shrunken kernel and ignored it!! WTF MAN!

Thank god that corn piece turned kinda brown after cooking and I told Kaykay not to eat it!!!!!!

I said, "Don't eat that, it looks rotten... OMG IS THAT A WORM??"

I thought it might be a weeny worm but KK went to use her fork to pry off all the kernels and OMG IT IS FUCKING HUMONGOUS!!!!!!!!!

I kept gagging afterwards and felt really bad for letting KK drink my worm soup (which in all honesty tasted great) but she was completely unperturbed!

She even said she'd eat the blood worm for $50 right now! Then she started picking up the worm and playing with it!

Fuck man damn gross?!?!?!

I kept gagging in response, and she was like "WHAT? It won't taste like worm! It will just taste like your soup!!"

I immediately gave her a tenner to ask her to eat it, and she was like "More lah!"

Wah lau...

Later on she changed her mind though coz she tried to tug the worm to break it (what's wrong with her?!?!) and she said the worm is damn hard and won't break so she'd have to chew very hard and she doesn't want to eat it anymore.

Won't taste like worm will taste like soup. Jesus!

Just in case you are wondering I threw away the rest of the soup but it was already half gone.

Random

Dark Knuts
invited me to go for their premiere!

Honestly man, Chestnut plays are so freaking funny!!!!!!

You HAVE to go watch them!



Invited Weili, Wanyi and Shuyin to go

My mouth looks damn weird here coz this
was day 2 after Wisdom tooth plucking!


Bff


Shuyin's ridiculous necklaces







Weili took a pic of Shuyin looking like some apparition.






Poor me!! Check out my stitches:



And this bitch of an ulcur!!

I presume that my mouth got opened too wide during my surgery, and it caused this ulcur!

It's muthafucking painful!!

Combined with the wisdom teeth extraction pain, I'd got to say that this is officially one of the most torturous experiences of my life.

Every bite of food hurts so bad! Thank god for painkillers man.

Oh and btw? I tried to pull out one of my stitches. Instead of sliding out like it is supposed to, it ripped out my gum, just like how you'd ripped an eyebrow piercing off somebody you REALLY don't like.

It was fucking painful and my whole mouth was full of blood. GAH!!!

5 days after the surgery was Valentine's Day.

My ulcur was still full-blown and I was miserable beyond words because I knew I couldn't fully enjoy our dinner. :(

Our dinner at Jaan @ Equinox.




Menu for the day



Instead of bread we had innovative little biscuit sticks.
They were damn nice!

Ew to the max! Celery and Carrot drink!

Can you think of anything worst? This thingy was complimentary.

Our FORGOTTEN VEGGIES salad.

What can I say?

These veggies were forgotten for good reason.

Tasted like shit.



Can't say it wasn't interesting though.
Look at this pointy broccoli-cauliflower mix!

It tastes terrible.



Mike still ate everything!
He said very expensive don't waste.

Now this is good! I don't know what it is but it's all seared and crispy on one side and the other side is a tad raw.

And the little jelly cubes with caviar on them taste nice too!

Foie gras. Fucking yums!
There was foie gras inside that little fried ball of potato rosti.
Loves!

Clams... Not too bad. The clams are underneath the foamy stuff (supposedly lobster emulsion). BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAME MIXED WITH CELERY.

WTF?? How unpleasant is celery?! Please stop putting celery in stuff!

Fish. Great. Very crispy skin



This is awesome!

Wagyu beef that's extremely soft and fatty. OMG salivate.





Horrible but chio complimentary nonsense



Our dessert. Don't like it.



Petit fours. Nice!

Thus concludes the food.



A view of City hall









Mike



I may look glamourous here, but I bet the diners and wait staff didn't think so.

Because the entire night I kept dabbing on my ulcur with...



KENALOG!

Thank god for Kaykay! She recommended me this thing for putting on ulcurs. It seals up your ulcur and lets you eat in peace! It doesn't hurt at all and it's awesome!

Unfortunately due to the location of my ulcur I had to reapply after every course. I bet everyone there who saw me dab my wound must have thought I have severe herpes or something. (WHICH I DON'T)

Accessories for the night

Mike looking happy. Honestly man... I don't see how he can be after eating the Forgotten veggies.

Chio 4.5 inch shoes

AND HORROR OF HORRORS....

THE BILL




WTF???

We were offered 2 glasses of Champagne initially and we thought it was part of the $500 package we were taking!

But each of the little teeny weeny flute of champagne cost $50!! I didn't even have any coz I don't drink!

I was so bloody upset and guilty about this ridiculously costly dinner and I kept saying 700 bucks can fly us both to Langkawi... But Mike told me to not worry about it as long as I am happy.


WTF MAN! I thought it was gonna be $500, which I already think is waayyyyy too much but unfortunately Mike already booked it.

Nonetheless, we both agreed never to do this again. 14-02-2010, we will be staying at home eating home-cooked laksa.

Somemore the food is not that fantastic. I much preferred it when we went the last time on a normal day and we had the best veal and lobster for WAY cheaper!

Little Chloe's Bdae!!

My cousin's daughter's 1st bdae and she had a fantastic 2-tiered Pooh Bear cake!

It tastes damn nice the top tier is strawberry and the bottom is lychee!

Not that Chloe cares about the taste...

She much prefers to pop her toe into the beautiful cake when being plopped on the table for photos! Hahahaha! :D

Me and my two cousins (girls) and cousin's bf.

I was wearing my MAHJONG tee! It reads "I love Cash" but since the "C" cannot be seen, Ashley, you can take it as my declaration of love for you and your relentless methods of embarrassing me on internet TV. Hahaha!

I can't believe the star is yawning! Everyone is fawning over her and she's bored! Hahaha!

She's soooo cute.

New Fridge!!



Lovely!

Samsung brushed aluminium fridge for only $400 plus!



Old Maggoty fridge banished to Balcony for the time being. (Now disposed of.)



Our fridge stickers



Finally, the end of this cb long blog entry!!!!!!!!!!!


Me with a red poodle puppy:






It is MAD cute and lets me carry it this way with no protest whatsoever.

I can't find the eyes...
