Gwen Stefani in Malaysia

No, I didn't go to her concert. Didn't really care about her coming to Malaysia since I'm not such a big fan of her musically, but fashion-wise, I like her style. More often than not, her clothes are kinda quirky but you have to admit, she is one helluva creative and hot babe. Quirky yet sexy. Now how does that connect? Only she can make quirky so damn sexy.

Eh, eh... I'm rambling like an idiot here. Anyway, the purpose of this post is to give my two cents on the supposedly "moral decay" caused by the mere gesture of Gwen Stefani who came and performed in this moderate country of ours, and who adhered to strict guidelines as to what she can wear and do onstage.

"...Malaysia's official guide for performers says women must be covered from the top of the bosom to the knees, the Star said. Jumping, shouting and the throwing of objects are barred, while performers may not hug, kiss or wear clothes with obscene or drug-related pictures or slogans, it added..."

Ok. So she had to cover up, the poor girl. Else, she would cause a massive epidemic of anemia. People, especially the youngsters, would have to be rushed to hospitals for severe lack of blood due to unstoppable nose bleeds at the sight of her bare toes. And cos there aren't enough hospitals, let alone blood supply to accomodate such a large number of anemic-stricken patients, there goes our future leaders of tomorrow. Our hope of the nation wiped out just like that. Poof! And newspaper headlines would scream "Gwen Stefani's exposed toes wreak havoc!"

That's just her bare toes. What if she had jumped in the middle of the concert? OMG! Up and down, up and down, up and down... Even if she wears a baju kurung I doubt that she could've prevented her chest from moving in accordance to the laws of gravity and inertia. And no question about it, the people attending the concert would die on the spot. Highly likely from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain - no, make that blood vessels. The sight of Gwen Stefani's chest in action is just too much excitement for them to take. Imagine the headlines: "Gwen Stefani's chest linked to mass haemorrhage!"

Tsk tsk! Now I see why certain youth groups protested so fiercely against her concert. They do it for the sake of the country...

*look of dawned realisation*

"Moral decay" would be putting it mildly. "Killing spree" would be more fitting.

"...an official of the 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's video promotion clips were obscene and the event would clash with local Asian and Islamic values..."

For one, I am Asian and being the Asian that I am, I really can't see how Gwen Stefani's promotional clips would clash with my Asian values. Would it make me break out a "Sweet Escape" in the middle of lecture with Martha-Marie? Who knows, she might sing it with me and it can be the Reading Law anthem!

Or would it make me bleach my hair platinum blond and wear lala clothes to lectures in my feeble attempt to imitate her style? Hmmm... maybe it would make me dance like her Harajuku Girls on my way to Asia Cafe for lunch.

Ah well, if that is the case, I salute Gwen Stefani even more for being such an inspiration! But seriously, I really have to give it to her for performing in Malaysia despite being forced to follow strict guidelines and yet, was still labelled as the "moral decay" factor of Malaysian youths.

In answer to that accusation, I believe the following three alphabets are enough to convey my opinions - WTF???? (Question marks are not alphabets)

In any case, if any of you wanna read the only piece of news article which I managed to find after 5 difficult minutes of surfing the net, here's the link : Gwen Stefani to cover up for Malaysia show

Have fun!

Mardi Gras rocks!

What's a girl to do when its a Friday night and her housemates have left for their hometowns? Go clubbing lah!

And so, that's what I did! Went with Mel and his friend from Singapore, Khoon, to this newly launched club in One World (the hotel in One U, in case u all dunno) and oh my gawd!!!!

This is seriously IT, ppl! This is the club to go! The club is called Mardi Gras and I simply loved the atmosphere there. Ok, to be fair, the deco was wasn't too spectacular or anything but it was ok. The dancing space was even smaller than Maisons'! But...

There's always a but...

There were a few dancing stages for ppl to dance on (duh~) and the most eye-catching one was this huge and round stage where water was spurting out in several places like fountains and the spotlight was focused mainly on that stage.

*Evil laughs*

Guys would definitely lurrrvvv that place cos they have very, very scantily clad girl dancers dancing oh so seductively. I'm not kidding when I say that the guys there actually stopped dancing just to ogle at the dancers and I could have sworn I saw several nose-bleeds...

Now, connect the water stage and the dancers together... *another very very evil laugh*

Yesssssss... it doesn't take an idiot to put two and two together - wet dancers gyrating suggestively to the beat of the music while water was being shot up their thighs. And whenever the dancers start their "wet dancing", the bartender would ring this big-ass bell, and all eyes would zoom to the water stage - guys and girls alike.

Ahem! Please don't be misconceived. Mardi Gras is no strip club.

Mel, me and Khoon

Blood brothers

-_-"

And ppl, I tell you why I love Mardi Gras - it plays RnB and hip-hop music ONLY! Wooohooo!! There is no Friday-night-is-house-music bullshit! And since its new, there wasn't any cover charge and we only paid for our drinks. Thanks for the vodka-coke, Khoon! And not only that, the place is filled with happening young ppl, not old ah-peks like those found in Q Bar... Did I mention that that place is also ideal if you're in need of some "eye-washing" exercises?

*drools*

Ahahaha... On this note, let me tell you about this hot chick we all noticed once we entered the club. What's clubbing without some drama? This hot chick was wearing white and a non-existent short shorts and she's quite the dancer. She definitely can move and she has a body which puts Ah Ma to shame!

She was dancing steamily with this guy - shaking her ass left, right, up, down and centre - and we were all thinking, "Wow! That bastard is damn lucky!". Mana tau, when we took a closer look, we all nearly fainted! The lucky bastard was this uncle-looking and fat, bespectacled boy!

Za dou lorrhhhh...

U can practically see all the guys eye-ing the hot chick and glaring at the bastard. Must be his birthday that night... Anyway, her bad taste aside, she's still hot and they danced more and more - intimately, for want of a better word; to the point that the guy hoisted the chick up on his shoulders and the way she was riding him... *sweats*

Furong Jie Jie: "I let you ride me like donkey in your brain"

O.o

Moving on, remember the water stage? Yeah, well... after the dancers were done showing their stuff ("stuff" meaning dance moves - what were you thinking? Tsk tsk!) the chick decided that the dancers needed to learn a thing or two from her. So up she went...

Trying too hard to be sexy

She totally spoilt her hot chick image. When she went up there, she laid herself down the metal railings and tried to do a Beyonce (like in the video Naughty Girl) by moving one leg up and down repeatedly!

*Faints*

The girl can barely do a ninety degree, let alone a full split! She's just not flexible enough, and yet still wanna act sexy. Wtf? In the end, it looked horribly like a Russian kicking dance to me...

Kick kick kick!

She should have just stuck to this

Sorry girl, but ur no longer hot.

oh so dip-licious!

Last night, all of my housemates and I went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Oh yeah, baby! I finally got the chance to satisfy my craving for the dip-licious pizza! Yummmeeeeeeee!!!

And in case u all don't know, I have a crazy new housemate who never ceases to embarass herself and at times, us, cos she's just... well, crazy. You could say that the dinner last night was a get-together thingy cum celebration in advance for her birthday this Sunday! She's turning 18 by the way, and we all thought that she was 20... Ooopppssss!

Hahahahahaha!

The dinner was fun and I'm really glad that all of us are able to mix well and have a great time together! Makes living with housemates enjoyable. ^^

I'm gonna miss all of them when they leave at the end of the year. But on the lighter side, we still have 'til end of the year! Plenty of time for get-togethers! And we plan to have a supper outing next, ehehehe...

Yep, she's the CRAZY housemate - pls don't ask why she's under the table -_-"

Cheers! ^^

Oh, thanks to the Pizza dinner, I finally learnt how to drink chicken soup the correct way. So boys and girls, pay attention!

First, add a few drops of TABASCO sauce into the soup...

...followed by dollops of CHILLI sauce, and ur good to go!

Tsk, tsk. I'm so ashamed to say that it took me 21 years to finally learn how to drink chicken soup the proper way... Hehehe

Everybody say "Dip-licious!!!"

Sluuuuurrrrpppp! O.o

Miss Crazy's idea to get 3 heads into the pitcher...

The sanest two of 124E

Yi Vun and I

erm...

She attempted to run away with the bill-file *shakes head*

Miss Crazy got excited at the sight of butter knives. I think she hasn't seen them before...
