How To Throw A Party

Blogger's Note: I was sick tired the whole day. I slept for three hours in the afternoon then I went online to blog this. It was a pretty bad idea to go on MSN since I couldn't think straight enough to even hold a conversation at the time, all the way up to dinner and even after dinner I felt like sleeping again.

Nescafe 3 in 1 + cadbury hot chocolate + cold milk = solved that problem

Should have thought of it earlier.

Step One


Decide where you want to have your party. An ideal location would be a house on top of a hill where it's windy all the time, especially at night.

If the house is a mansion which can be seen from any point in the surrounding countryside, even better.

Brian: Is that her house? How can we even see her house from here? It's like... dominating the whole mountain.

Step Two

Decide what you want your guests to do at your party. If the house has its own basketball court, outdoor tub, karaoke room, playstation and plasma TV you're pretty much settled.

Just make sure you have guests who can sing, and not act out chinese soap dramas on the mic instead.

Jason: Dim kai... DIM KAI!?!?
Jon: Why did Suat Lay install a torture room in her house?

Still, you might wanna invite a DJ or two along... just so someone can keep an eye on the music while you're having fun. A good choice might be someone you've had along on previous occasions... so they know what you like.

Jun Ian: Is that a sauna? It looks like a sauna. That had better not be a sauna.
Wai Khuin: Checking... it's a closet.
Jun Ian: If she had a sauna in her own house that would have been too much.

Step Three

Decide on all the elements of your party. What kind of food are you going to serve? What kind of music are the DJs going to play? Do you have a grand piano for the music purists? How many decks of cards are you going to provide? Is Liverpool playing Everton that night?

Tip: No-outs-street-style-basketball is a pretty cool game. Even when you can't actually play bastketball it's fun to be caught up in the insanity.

Jason: Grand piano, huh Rufus?
Rufus: I haven't touched it yet. I'm... resisting the temptation.

If you want the people to dance, make sure the floor is right and the music is good. Make sure you know what tunes your crowd likes, and make sure those tunes are played.

It's My Life, Satisfaction, Everytime We Touch, Tokyo Drift, Beep, Sexy Back, YMCA, Shake Ya Tailfeather, Dragostea Din Tei and Pump It are good choices.

Still, sometimes you have to make sure the DJ updates his list with songs that were released sometime during the last year, and not play Good Charlotte or Linkin Park for no good reason.

George Michael's Never Gonna Dance Again was also completely uncalled for.

More than one person: What the fu-

When allowing your guests to watch a game, make sure the room is properly divided into two halves. Allow the Liverpool supporters to sit on one side and the non-Liverpool supporters on the other.

Do not let the one guy with the Liverpool jersey sit in the middle of all the non-Liverpool supporters. It's bad karma.

Jenq Yan: All Everton this side... Liverpool over there.
Jun Ian: What about him?
Jenq Yan: Traitor.

I have to go OOC for awhile and describe what it was like to watch the game in that house on that TV with those people.

It was electric.

Like I mentioned, the room was split in half except for Jing Hang, snug in the midst of the people who didn't support Liverpool or Everton, but didn't want to see Liverpool win anyway.

The TV was in a room that was practically all balcony with a roof. The wind was blowing in from all sides and it was almost like we were in Genting or something. Only not so cold.

Anyone who actually watched the match would have known how Everton played something like 1-0-9, and how many times Liverpool almost, almost scored.

Wai Khuin watched the game from Suat's grandfather's chair in deep concentration, not making a sound the entire 90 minutes.

Jenq Yan: FLOWER!

For those of you who were not there, he meant Robbie Fowler.

Step Four

If the party is a birthday celebration, insist on following the tradition of pulling one candle out of the cake with one's mouth.

You are encouraged to push only slightly so that the tip of the nose and maybe the chin goes into the cake instead of just wasting the whole thing and covering the newly-turned seventeen year old's face with icing.

Happy Birthday Suat Lay!

In Which Actual Blogging Begins

Mrs Matthews: I don't think I can allow you to sell roses anymore.
Boon Guan: Why not? We've always sold them for friendship day in previous years.
Mrs Matthews: Because what happens is a girl will give a rose to another girl. And the two girls will hug.

I'm not making that up. She actually said that. That's the reason why we can't sell roses in school. Not boy-girl relationships, but because apparently, Wesley Methodist hates fags.

If I can pull it off I plan to organize mass gay huggings outside the office or wherever on valentine's day/friendship day. And, if the masses are willing... why stop at hugging?

Imagine... the whole school standing in the basketball court, paired up guy to guy and girl to girl, holding hands, dry humping and snogging in the most blatant display of homosexuality this school has ever seen since the YMCA.

We could make a movie. And call it like...V for Valentine.

They will remember the 14th of February.

It's been almost a month since Christmas, time to show everyone what I've been up to.

No it's nothing bad...

#1: Made christmas card for Australian adopted family. See, it is very good to be a member of my adopted family. Actually, they adopted me but DETAILS.

This is the link to the non-animated version if anyone's interested.

Maria says Stefan isn't coming over this April. Meaning I'm gonna get someone else to host. Cause I'll be hosting for sure. Unlike certain people who are 'too busy' to extend the same courtesy they received back in July... was it July? I've got no memory for dates at all...

See, I remember that my own birthday is on the 2nd of April, and that Jun Yu and Wei Li have the same birthday as me. And Shannon Matthews was born on the 1st of April, one day before.

My sister's birthday is in April, 17-18-19-ish. My father and my brother, in December. My mother in May-June-July-ish.

Wen Juin's birthday is in June, Bio's birthday is the day after 9/11, so I remember that. Ding Wei sometime in February, Yow Hwui in January, Jenq Yan last Friday, Suat Lay today.

Some Korean guy called Hero also had his birthday on Friday. I know because they wrote in on the whiteboard under 'happening things', next to 'Rain is coming'.

Should be here by now.

And there was one day in January where Karen and Rachel Lee had the same birthday, but I can't remember what day it is anymore. And it was just last month. No wait, it was this month. SEE? I TOLD YOU.

#2: Found snowman outside mall in Beijing. I did not make the snowman. I when I found him, he was already made. By who, I don't know. Do hobos make snowmen? Are there even hobos in China?

Hobo-licious - definition: person who is homeless.

It's not a very good picture, and I don't know what I was looking at. But it gets the point across. There was a snowman, and I was there.

There are many more pictures of snow and stuff that I could show you, but if you wanna see that you'll have to wait. Maybe wait for a long time. I don't know.

Brian: Bang, mana saya punya? Kenapa makanan lambat sangat bang?
Waiter: Saya bagi you dalam dua jam boleh. Kamu semua siap saja saya bawa dia punya okay?
Brian: Tak lucu la bang. Sangat tidak lucu.
Waiter: Dua jam la, you tunggu.
Brian: Mana boleh la?
Waiter: Okay la, saya pergi sekejap. Jangan nak nangis la okay?
Brian: What the... He stole my line wei!
Waiter: Don't cry okay?

The waiter pats Brian on the shoulder.

Brian: Kenapa you sentuh saya? Saya bayar kamu sentuh saya ke? Apabila saya nak kamu sentuh saya saya bagitahu okay?
Brian: Hey bang... ada makanan di situ la.


Brian points near the waiter's mouth. There is a mole there. The waiter feels for it then realises he's being had. He takes a swipe at Brian. Brian ducks and shows off his T shirt.

Brian: Tengok ini, ini kamu punya. Ini saya punya.
Waiter: Bukanlah... ini saya punya. Itu baru kamu punya.
Brian: Macam ni la wei... Ini saya punya. Ini you.

Brian points to the empty space on his shirt.

Brian: You tak ada.


The waiter laughs and heads back to the kitchen.

Kevin: He is totally spitting in your food right now.

#3: Made snowball. The video will show you the way.


You have no idea how much I want some ice cream right now.

News: I'll be getting a shoutbox soon. Maybe before the next update.
