costume party!
Monday, February 9, 2009 x 12:40 PM
the answer the question at the end of the previous post: yes, janet is holding a birthday party!
i don't normally blog about presents i give, but this one took a lot of work!
ratna and i were clueless on what to give janet. but when i first saw a mug in a store, i instantly thought of her. it just somehow reminds me of her.
of course we won't only give her a mug for a birthday present! we planned was to fill it with cutesy stuff and others that we hoped were scrapbooking materials (she likes to make scrapbooks).
so total presents:
janet, you can check if there's anything missing =p
i didn't know it was so hard to choose things to fill a mug. does it look like a lot of stuff for that one teeny tiny mug? 'cuz well, it kind of is. i had to think of the perfect arrangement and kept taking everything out again when there wasn't enough space.
but i did it!!!!

that's not actually the final product. some things fell out after that picture and i forgot where i placed them.
now the wrapping part. after watching a tutorial on how to wrap an awkward-shaped present - in this case, a mug....
tadaaaah~
not bad huh? =D i'm quite proud of it. you basically just pleat the wrapping paper upwards.
i was worried janet will look at the present(s) and go like, "what the hell they're all just a bunch of cheap stuff from this store and that store". come on janet let's be honest now, did you really like it??
oh! a quick off-subject thing

foxy is unbearably cute now!!!! so calm, with her black beady eyes.... *o*

on the other hand, the white one lost some fur on its snout and is now less cute

they actually lined up automatically and took turns eating. how adorable is that?!?!?!
back to topic. when ratna and i reached janet's house, she wasn't there yet!!! we let ourselves through the gate, and after some time, her maid invited us into the hous--

.... we were invited into the house.
i like her house! and the garden!
janet and hans when they were little!!! roflmao!!!!!!
janet's here!!! run run run runnn

then vina came, dressed as little red riding hood

she really acted the part! she was skipping around ever so happily, taking a look at everything, and being curious at every object, just like girls from fairytales.


me: i think i'm gonna use flash
*cover eyebags*
ratna told me janet's going to dress as alice in wonderland. i pictured the typical alice outfit. that blue dress with the white apron and black ribbon. but!!!!
it's janet in wonderland!!!
hans was a nerd!!!

THAT LOOKS SO WRONG!!!!!
in case you haven't guessed, i dressed up as a waitress. some guessed maid or candy seller. oh and ratna's a bellydancer.
steven's outfit was boooring. just a blue cheongsam. it would've been better if he'd worn that chinese hat with the fake pigtail. but he claimed that he didn't have them. so....

now he's a chinese vampire =D


allison was a spy/business woman. maybe a spy under cover??




angela: devil! her red horns light up and blink!! there's a battery attached at the side. she also drew a devil's tail and tied it to her back with string.


then philip arrived and it turned out that his outfit matched angela's! they looked so cute!

their devil tails
mickey as minnie mouse
kenny as tiger woods
my camera was sucky yesterday i had no idea why. like the picture above. the colour's horrible! and sometimes a spot in a picture would just blur.


this is kind of like a late halloween party, don't you think? =) it's our first costume party!!!

janet's sister became the host and they held games, most which we've never heard of before. it was fuuunnn. required moving around too. my group (mickey, angela and i) won the newspaper game!!!! angela and i must have great teamwork we win whenever we're in a group =p like at her birthday party, for example.
lastly, we went out to eat...



then i went home early, washed my face, changed, passed out on the bed. what an abrupt ending.
ps: i'm now resizing the pictures for faster uploads. for those who wants to steal them, tell me if they're good enough or if you want them in their original size next time.

yes i know i took my own sweet time to post this, i'm sorryyyyyyyyyy, stop yakking already. i was lazy to upload pictures =p buuuut i'm finally hurrying 'cuz if i post this any later it'll be sooo out of date. here goes!
allison's birthday party!!! held at club 3° in fx (i googled how to type "°", it's "press and hold ALT while typing 0176"). our first time clubbing! or so we thought. as it turns out, the place only looks like a high class restaurant. plus, there were very few people there. no dance floor, just a stage for a band to play.



when we entered fx (the mall), i could feel eeeverybody headturning!!! did we dress up too much? or maybe it's cuz we're just a group of naturally pwetty girls >=) ratna told me to change when she arrived at my house, and insisted that if i hadn't i would have felt under-dressed.
the girls
uh... the guys. didn't really ask them to take a picture. but you'll see more of them later
happy belated birthday, allison!! her whole outfit was silvery and shining and sparkling and glittering

family
plus sister
the meal was... de-li-cious!!!!!!!

appetizer: chicken corn cream soup
main course: spaghetti something something sauce something something (i didn't catch the full name)
OR....
sushi!!! PINK sushi. what is that pink stuf??
doesn't it look goooooooooooooooood
dessert: pisang goreng [fried banana??] plus vanilla ice cream with a slice of brownies at the bottom. i couldn't finish it my stomach was bursting. too badddd



we didn't do anything much. just ate, chatted a little (loud music) and well uh... took pictures of course =p



we caught them taking pictures by themselves again!
one time, allison and claudia were called to the stage to sing! they sang "kiss me". the whole time i was taking the video, the battery-low sign kept flashing and flashing while i willed the camera to stay on at least until they finished singing. and it did!
that's the band. i don't think i'll upload a video of them singing. the file will be too...big
in fact, i could take more pictures!






there's this empty space beside the entrance. the walls look... cool! white tiles with blue light shining through the cracks. we immediately decided to hold a mini photo shoot there. didn't use my camera 'cuz it ran out of battery. buuut! the pictures turned out... blurry. and when flash was used, it no longer looked cool. just looked like we're in a bathroom.
with what's left of the battery, i'll show you what it looks like!!


lastly, group photos grabbed from allison's facebook:


is janet going to hold a birthday party too?
ps: i've decided that i'll only upload photos on facebook if i'm not blogging about them. so get your lazy ass over here if you want 'em pictures. they're clickable and of better quality anyway (though i did resize).
cao!
