Two weeks have passed and post effect long diminished after what seems to be the most astonishing time of the month. I managed to catch the special edition of Smash Hits that featured Zoukout 2005 on Channel [V] yesterday afternoon. I can’t help but to browse through the hundreds of pictures taken during Zoukout and then watching those videos over and over again. I still remember Sarah interviewing this muscular guy beside us (name’s Hisham) and then watching today’s show made me go, “HEY, I WAS RIGHT BESIDE THEM!”

The fella speaks like a gay though. Well, he MIGHT be gay anyway..
And there were plenty of them during Zoukout 2005…

Oh well.

(If bored, please proceed to bottom of this post for well-wishing from Fractionize.net)

Last few days have been well spent together with friends whom I haven’t met for a long time, with the usual cocktalking session, quick lunch, endless rounds of ’strip foosball’, camwhoring and spontaneous trip to 1 Utama. Nothing much special but to me, these are the very little things that made the last week of December a memorable one and definitely help eases the process of ushering into the coming new year of 2006.

I won’t go into much details for today’s post since I am feeling lazy right now after a wholesome meal, plus the breezing cold weather isn’t helping either. I managed to get back home from 1 Utama this afternoon before rain started pouring down heavily. And since with the internet connection down, I snuggled happily under the blanket as howling winds slipped through the window pane, turning my messy room into a blissful haven and then dozed off till dinner time.

Wai Keen’s seductive pose.

I had a lunch date with both Wai Keen and Melissa this afternoon. Initially planned to go Sunway Pyramid until we saw the queue of cars trying to get into the carpark. Without much hesitation, we headed off to 1 Utama instead after what seems to be a small detour around Subang before ended up having lunch at Dragon-I (or is it Dragon-1?) again. Today’s lunch was PROUDLY sponsored by my beloved host, Wai Keen, at the cost of providing transportation to the both of them.

Unfortunately, that’s like the only picture I managed to snap of the attendees. Melissa, as usual, was camera shy and she harshly rejected my poor host’s proposal of taking picture with her. MEANIE. Walked around for a while and then settled my debts with Wai Keen for the webhosting and domain renewal. Really sucks cause the bill reminds me that another year has finally come to an end, and knowing that nothing much changed since even makes me sadder. 2006 will definitely be the last year of Fractionize.net, that is, if my project doesn’t materialise even after years of planning.

FREAKING huge Monopoly Board!

Go to JAIL. Do Not Pass GO! Do Not Collect RM200!

Nokia was having some kinda exhibition with a FREAKIN’ huge Monopoly board smacked right in the middle of the Centre Court. A team of three represents a token with life size jail and a pretty damn good looking Audi Quattro TT parked at the FREE parking. Doesn’t look like an ordinary TT to me though. Gameplay as usual but we didn’t stay long to watch the game as it seemed pretty boring with the commentator having to explain every single shit, just like what I’m doing right now. HAHA!

And speaking of Nokia, I’m sorry to inform those who were/are still interested in the LIMITED offers as being mentioned of in the previous post, that the stock for N90 has been completely SOLD OUT. Response was crazy and now only with the LIMITED stock of N70, the estimation price would be RM2100. Nevertheless, still cheaper than retail price and do note that all phones comes with 1 year WARRANTY by Zitron, with original bundled packaging. Hurry up, while stocks last!

Eveline and Jaime.

Slinky Pimpin’! Inspired by KY…

We also had a so-called meetup with fellow National Service candidates but attendance was terrible. Only four, including Yours Truly turned up but that didn’t stop us from CAMWHORING like nobody’s business! After all, Asiacafe was dead empty with the holidays still ongoing so we got to do some stupid stuffs without many people noticing us. Hahahaha!

Lousy attempt in taking group picture..

First attempt: My face got truncated….

Second attempt: Eveline must have some against me!!!

We attempted to take a group picture without any assistance but then the picture turned out pretty lousy so Eveline decided to put her camwhoring skills into practice by taking all four of us.

First attempt: Scored 7/10 !!

Second attempt: Outstanding! Somehow Calvin moved forward,
hence the out of focused face of his..

Two attempts failed, so it was my turn to see how my camwhoring skill fare and… TADA! Not too bad for an amateur, yah??

New Year’s Eve is like two hours away and I am still undecided on where to go to. Kuala Lumpur is the preferred choice of my friends but nobody’s willing to drive. Traffic is going to be a killer, so I MIGHT end up somewhere nearer to my home sweet home, probably 1 Utama or Ikano Power Centre, as being mentioned by Jocelyn about the celebration party over there. And you know what’s the worst thing? My mom doesn’t guarantee me ANY car to drive tomorrow cause she’s got her own plans as well and everyone will be out of the house WITH a car!

Fcuk… Oh, I mean French Connection UK and er, they’re having an end season SALE, though I dropped by this afternoon and didn’t come across any pretty shirts :\

Gah, don’t be surprised if I were to actually end up staying at home and watching firework displays on TV instead. Don’t play-play, you know! Instead of one, I can actually view ALL of the firework displays in conjunction with New Year’s Eve celebration NATIONWIDE. The wonders of technology ;P Such a genius, I am.

Last but not least, here I present to you MISSION IMPOSSIBLE with Vincent being the star and producer of the show himself with………..

Mr. Vincent was defiant when we told him not to mess around with the petrol pump. Knowing him for four years, Mr. Vincent playfully approached me at my passenger seat and proceeded to threaten to pump petrol into my mouth instead. Right after that, he got into the car and off we went to yum cha at Tanjung, SS14…. WITHOUT putting back on the fuel cap AND closing the cover.

My friends are t3h 4w3s0m3!

HO HO HO. Right, so last night didn’t turn out as bad as I expected it to be. With barely 2 hours remaining till Christmas and still without a plan, I was on the verge of going to bed when both Eugene and Vincent decided to drag me out for countdown instead. Six of us, including Praveen, Haris and Richmond then adjourned to Sunway Pyramid that seemed so alive from far away. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any countdown and the immensely huge crowd was pissing me off.

Unlike the previous year in which I spent my Christmas eve with Joe, Eugene and thousands of happy-go-lucky Singaporeans, I had to put up with the street filled with bengsand lians who seem to have too much cash with them since they buy those party string and foam cans in bulks. Already with those chinese swearings being thrown from one corridor to another driving me nuts, we had to look for a place to sit down and drink but there wasn’t any.

And because of that, our desperation prevailed for we finally succumbed to purchasing a bottle of Black Label at Garage. Service was unusually BAD since they only had 4 waiters on duty and the people were all crazy. We had to endure full half an hour of sobering moments before they brought us the bottle and mixers. Not the best place to drink, but then again, with the presence of alcohol, I don’t see the reason why any of us should be unhappy.

Eugene and Vincent had to drive, so that left Praveen, Richmond, Adrian and I to finish the remaining half bottle. Haris was already stoning so he decided to stop. Left the place at about 2am and then sending the rest home meant that I only reached home by 2:30am. Initially planned to have supper but Eugene had to be back by 2:30am so I was off cooking Maggi Mee for supper on my own.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Mr. and Mrs. Yap!

It was a good night, especially with friends and Johnnie Walker, but nothing beats a full scrumptious meal at Jakes Chabroil Steakhouse with family :) Brother sneakily made reservations and then only to inform us about the dinner during late afternoon. Dad didn’t celebrate his birthday at Jake’s this September, so it is only normal for him to actually dine over there once every year and boy, did he LOVE it.

Dad managed to snap this candid shot of me!

I had my fulfilling dosage of escargots bourgugidnadlsda-whatever you call it and what else other than my infamous medium rare steak! So raw yet so delicious, and juicy. The steak practically wobbles left and right when you poke it with the knife. Hehehehehe, and dad’s attempt in trying to become a tech-savvy who knows everything about gadget. He has gotten himself a Olympus Camedia digital camera so he can snap “many many” pictures with mom. Hehehehe, so cute!!

What Ya Looking At, BRO?

Munch on left, Slinks on right.

Last night’s dinner somehow affected me in emotional ways, seeing how everything seemed so broken up last time is now being mended into a good piece. Dad’s progressing really well in kicking the drinking habit ever since he’s diagnosed with diabetes. Instead of spending his nights at local pubs with beers and peanuts for dinner, dad now comes home before 5pm and spends quality time with his family who has and will always be there for him. Oh, and having to endure our endless screamings and jumping all over the place while playing Fatal Frame III with the 5.1 speakers plugged in. SCARY SHIT, I tell you!

So that pretty much sums up my unexpectedly WONDERFUL Christmas Eve. And today’s meant to be the day for me to recuperate after killing my brain cells with those second hand smoke and booze last night. New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and all that I was looking forward to is firework display. BUT THEN, I came across a small ad in today’s papers about Celcom’s NYE party, featuring both international and local DJs.

Curiosity aroused, till I saw Above & Beyond and Filterheadz, both names that are printed boldly in the ad. THIS IS WICKED SHIT!!!! After having missed out on Above & Beyond’s gig at Zouk during October, I’d surely kill myself if I were to miss out on this as well. Filterheadz might be the favourites since they play hard thumping tunes, although not really noticeable during their previous appearance @ ZoukFEST.

Our local boys will be spinning on the night as well, so do drop by and show your love! The best thing about the party (probably the worst thing as well) is that it’s FREE ADMISSION. Fuckin’ shiatzzzzzz! Hard to believe, eh? And because of that, the turnout is going to be massive but thank goodness, it’s a 18 years and above event. Sounds like a good rave cum countdown party to me! Anybody interested??

Daym… I feel so tempted to go but traffic in KL is going to be hell. But anywhere will do, for as long as the venue provides us with splendiferous firework display, and that’s what makes 2005 go with beauty and welcome 2006 with a loud bang!

I am so going to miss year 2005. Time has passed way too fast this year. If only I had another extra hour a day… Adios!

“I Want You For My Christmas!”

HO HO HO. I watched my brother play Fatal Frame III: Tormented last night, and I think I freaked out more than he did. Japanese are ingenious psychos having able to come up with such games to scare the shit out of people even during living daylights. And so you thought Fatal Frame II was frightening with all those talisman, seals and dolls. Now Fatal Frame III comes with a new addition- MIRROR. Play this game and you’ll never look at the mirror the same way you used to, ever again. Definitely not for the faint-hearted ones, for you shall be left mentally scarred for life.

“Dude, have you seen my ZARA top anywhere?”

HO HO HO, and don’t get me wrong, by the way. That’s not what I want for Christmas. And since Christmas is just two days away, it is not uncommon and never too late either to come up with a wishlist, hoping that Santa Clause would read my blog tonight before embarking on his yearly tour around the world in 2 days. HO HO HO, just like what any other naughty kids would say, I have been a very good boy this year and so I hope that Mr. Santa Clause would drop by and just place my present beside dad’s orchid plant instead due to the absence of a chimney on my rooftop. BEWARE of Ashley though, as she is capable of tearing any trespasser’s limbs off their body. Thank you in advance, Santa Clause!

:MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE POST:
Dear Mr. Santa Clause, REMEMBER TO JOT DOWN THIS WISHLIST OF MINE!

1) Microsoft XBox 360 Premium Pack (100% imported!)
2) Pro Evolution Soccer 5 for Sony PSP (original packaging!)
3) Family trip to Europe (5 return tickets, please!)
4) Santarina! (the more, the merrier!)
5) Someone to spend Christmas with, alone :)
6) Nokia N70 or N90 (scroll down, tee hee hee!)

HO HO HO. Okay-la, perhaps I haven’t been the good boy I used to be, so I made my wishlist short and simple. Not too demanding, eh? Hehehehehe. But then it is unlikely that Mr. Santa will grant me any of my wish, so I decided to go shop for Chinese New Year instead on Wednesday afternoon. Only managed to buy one tee from Topman, and the other shirt I had my eyes on was the last piece and it looked like cabbage so I guess I’ll go get it from other Topman retail outlet instead.

HO HO HO. Bumped into Joleen, Wei Mun, Nurul, Penny and Terence within 20 minutes. Wow! Everyone seems to be shopping for New Year as well. Aside of that, One Utama was surprisingly empty, considering that school holiday is still underway and people should be shopping for last minute preparations for Christmas! Hehehehe, I love christmas trees but too bad I don’t really celebrate Christmas, and mom tells me to place the christmas tree in my room if I really were to get one cause the living room is already so confined. *bummers*

Nokia N70, the revolutionary 3G phone.

HO HO HO. It’s festive season so I should be in festive mood too! So, I’m now becoming your next door Santa Clause and offering you unbeatable prices for ORIGINAL Zitron certified Nokia N70 and Nokia N90 that comes with the ORIGINAL BUNDLED PACKAGING and 1 YEAR WARRANTY. Please note that the phones are all BRAND NEW and hasn’t been opened.

Nokia N90, equipped with Carl Zeiss lens that makes you go WOW!

HO HO HO. Nokia N70 is going off for RM1900nett with the choice of either silver or white. However, due to intensely popular demand, Nokia N70 is currently out of stock but then restock will take place by next Wednesday. As for the Nokia N90, it is priced at RM1700nett. Both phones are the next generation of N60 series and offer excellent capabilities in managing your contacts or medias. Definitely suitable for both gadgeteers on the go and business users.

HO HO HO. And for your information, the deals stated above are REAL and offers for a limited period of time. Only serious buyers, please leave a message or drop me a mail at fractionize[at]gmail.com.

HO HO HOkay, so I have got no plans for Christmas. My Hong Kong trip was canceled due to complications between the tour agent and organizer. I am so disappointed since I saved up during the previous Singapore trip in hopes of spending on shopping in Hong Kong instead. Now, I might just stay at home and watch the clock ticks me to sleep. Or maybe, I could just day dream till the day that PAUL VAN DYK COMES TO TOWN, OH YEAH!!!!!

HO HO HO. Yes indeed. It is confirmed. Paul Van Dyk is going on Asia tour and he will be dropping by on the 3rd February, 2006. Now THIS, I seriously have to repair my family tent so I could camp at Zouk’s courtyard to avoid disappointment cause I so DAMN sure it’s going to be JAM PACKED during that night. Mr. Paul will be spinning in other parts of Asia such as Istanbul (wow!), Hong Kong, Manila and few others. WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF (CHINESE) NEW YEAR!

HO HO HO. Ferry Corsten will be spinning at Zouk KL tonight. I don’t think I’ll be going either, so I guess I’ll just blast his Creamsfields* album with my trustworthy Altec Lansing 45.1 spakers and put “Sublime” track on repeat mode till I doze off in front of the monitor.

HO HO HO. I haven’t eaten so I better be off now. I got tagged by Isobel but will only do so later in the next post, aights? Till then, Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all!

Gah… So there goes Zoukout 2005. With such great atmosphere, music and stunning hot bikini-clad beauties, December 10th is undoubtedly the most memorable day ever, despite having not slept for 25 hours. Hehehehe okay, I’ll take it as a personal achievement and learn to appreciate my beauty sleep more than ever. Geez, there’s just something about Singapore and its citizens being so ‘well-developed’ especially when compared with our very own Malaysia. Spill the beans, will ya? I so damn miss the Lion City :(

Joel and Vincent.

My raving gears (Phatties not included)

William harrassing my PSP…

And now comes the problem. With so many things to talk about, I don’t even know where to start off with. Basically, the whole of our trip to Singapore didn’t go as planned but we were thankful that things didn’t go wrong either. It was just that all of our time spent on discussing about the itinerary was nothing but hollow talks which pretty much got us all overhyped for the event.

Eugene checking out Vincent’s ass.

In Loving Memory of Adi Dassler. Adidassers, Unite!

As usual, the bumpy train ride across the rural lands of Malaysia took us about 8 hours before reaching Singapore and stepped out of the train only to find that rain was pouring down like snow. Got a cab straight to the hotel and then checked in. We hardly got much rest during the journey but that didn’t stop us from camwhoring upon settling down in the hotel room! Not much to complain about the room condition, although it would have been better if the rooms were actually well lit, cause it tends to be kinda freaky especially during the night.

Moving on to the afternoon mark, as we were treated to nice comfy shuttle services to Suntec City, so we decided to have our lunch there instead. First tour around the clean city since 354 days ago and boy, was I already screaming in delight upon passing by Takashimaya and The Heeren and Wisma Atrium and …. Oh, so we finally reached Suntec City and started debating on what to eat. There were so many restaurants to choose from, but to our dismay that only few were open as the rest still preparing for lunch hour.

Wahliao, damn SIAM eh!

So empty, just like my wallet 48 hours later.

Snakes, rats, scorpions and centipedes. Take your pick.

Without wasting much time, we decided to go for siamese cuisine and started ordering food for 100 person since we were freaking hungry. Service was excellent with pleasant environment to dine in but unfortanely to say that food quality was just average. And if you really would like to know, we didn’t get to finish all the food because there were too much and somehow everyone of us just lost the appetite when the dishes were finally served. Daym..

Done with lunch, and so we proceeded to Starbucks at Raffles City while waiting for Emelia and family to come join us. We have somehow grown affection towards this Starbucks outlet as we always dropped by for a drink whenever we were down in Singapore, without fail. Took even more pictures of self and friends but I shall spare you all from that since we still have a LONG way more to go before it reaches the end of today’s post :)

Jocelyn came moments later, still looking sleepy even though she had to cross a few roads and a bridge with escalator (so cangggih, right!?). Oh, then we adjourned to the famous Orchard Road, where shops that make you want to go poor as well as hundreds of volunteers from various charity organizations who come swarming over you for donations. I can donate for one, or perhaps another after but definitely no others after after, especially when Topshop is right in front of you.

Oops! The christmas fall didn’t topple over. I’m just too lazy to rotate it :P

Emelia and family wanted to have lunch, so we followed them over to Yoshinoya at Takashimaya while the rest went hunting for sandals. After that, it was all plain (window) shopping around the city and I couldn’t resist the pink striped shirt from Topman. Was contemplating if I should really buy it since KL is cheaper and Eugene wanted it as well. I have no idea what actually got into me that I actually bought it in the end. Not a bad buy afterall (as seen in previous post: What A Deep Dish! Bring Me Back to Singapore!)

We got back to the hotel during late afternoon for a quick nap and took a shower before heading back to Suntec City. We had to look for Conrad Hotel in which Jocelyn stayed at cause it was hidden somewhere around the corner. Hahahahaha anyway, the hotel was damn posh and totally different feel as I walked into the lobby. The place itself is so grand and live pianist soothing the crowd with those mellow tunes. Wanted to take picture as well but then it’d make me look so jakun.

Joel and I, waiting to devour a cow.

Joshua and Jocelyn.

Eugene looking tipy and Vincent.

Joshua joined us for dinner as well at Country Manna Restaurant. Couldn’t think of a better place to eat already since our initial plan to go for a flamboyant dinner at Clarke Quay didn’t materialise. So, that pretty much sums up our very first night in Singapore and surely quite a tiring one after having to overcome several obstacles that didn’t quite dampen our mood to party! Brought a six pack of Heineken back to hotel and played cards before going off to sleep.

Heineken. Meet You There…. OKAY?

ZoukOut 2005 WAS finally here..

Coming up next, the detailed coverage of ZoukOut 2005 and find out why tribal house is so orgasmic, especially when the opposite gender is present. Going out for dinner now so bye, for now!

Deep Dish was awesome, though I actually expected them to play the original mix of Say Hello instead. But oh well, still sounded great but that was the only song I remember listening to before leaving at about 2:00am cause I was kinda intoxicated already. Apparently, the imported blend of Ïto bottle tasted much smoother. Had my usual eight bottles dosage and got on a high when Deep Dish took over the decks at 12:30am.

Sister’s friend brought us in under the GAB (whatever that means) & Media guestlist so we had access to the VIP bar upstairs but no big deal since there wasn’t any celebrity on sight. Pretty dead in fact, that we decided to settle down at an unclaimed stool that was facing the dancefloor and started downing the beers.

Each bottle costs RM18, which is a little tad pricey but we had couple of free complimentary drinks from my sis’ friend. Funny thing was, I asked for a toast with my sister’s friend but he mistakenly thought that I wanted more beer, so he ransacked his pocket and gave me more free coupons. Hahahaha, I didn’t know what to say, so I thanked him and claimed the drinks :X

Jue Lin and Kenny were there as well, but we didn’t get to talk much cause of the loud banging music. Left not long after and right at this point, I don’t quite remember what happened next, due to the over-the-limit consumption of drinks I had the other night. Had to leave early since sis gotta work the next morning and so we left at about 2:00am and I surprisingly knocked out in the car! Pfft… What an embarassing sight, especially with family members around. Hahahahaha, and for the record, NO, I did not throw up and no hangover the next day either.

5.94MB : Always remember to Say Hello :) (1:04 secs)

Overall, it was a good night and I have no idea on what to do with those Ïto bottles in the kitchen. Anybody wants one as a form of collection? Hehehehe ;P OKAY FUTSAL TIME… Ciao, for now.

Zoukout 2005 was way beyond my imagination. It was a total blast. I could never ask for more. And so you thought Recharge@R3velation was great, wait till you get the chance to participate in the now-renowned biggest dance festival. The difference is so apparent, it totally blew my mind off. Girls and booze aplenty, but then limited funds. Pfft… Some pictures for you to see. Will update again later on.

3.16MB : Armin Van Buuren’s opening set in the 23rd minute. (0:31 secs)

Thursday, 8th December 2005, 5:45am is a very sad day as Manchester United’s 10th successive entry to the knockout stages of UEFA Champions League was denied after losing 2-1 at the Stadium of Light. The Red Devils had a dream start when Paul Scholes scored a brilliant early goal but was later then overshadowed by poor defendings and what seems to be the most FUCKING kai deflected shot ever that caught Van Der Sar by surprise. It was then that Manchester United trailed 2 goals to 1, and never came back due to lacklustre performances by Alan Smith and not surprisingly, Rio Ferdinand.

The glorious moments of Manchester United’s successful club history will once again be reminisced, should we spend a minute of griefing silence in conjunction with today’s shocking defeat. Don’t worry, for the Red Devils have done well in the last decades as proven by the legendary players and managers. What doesn’t kill us, only makes us stronger…. Well, hopefully la.

Fucking hell… Eugene and Vincent must be laughing their ass off right now knowing that Manchester United headed for the exit of Champions League. Mahem wei! Damn tak puas already!

OMG OMG OMG OMG… It’s finally here! Zoukout is just around the corner and I’m starting to hyperventilate already. Although the everday discussion about our very much anticipated trip to Zoukout this year end has pretty much killed the hype, but then it’s like 48 hours from now! Surely does relives the mood to party! Heck, too excited to even think of what to blog for today actually.. I havent even started packing, and I bet Eugene already did and now he’s rolling on his own bed, hoping to sleep the remaining hours off and go rock the Lion City!

My family has fallen sick with dry cough and flu, thus making me all paranoid and overly obssessed with my health. The worst thing could ever happen to you is falling sick during holidays and not forgetting this bloody zit that popped out of nowhere and now it’s glowing red on my nose. Bloody hell… Really hampers my urge to camwhore during Zoukout.. Probably have to photoshop the pictures a little if that freaking ass zit turns out rather obvious. HAH.. Say ‘yes’ to Adobe!

I must have been a superhero from some fantasy comics due to the fact that I was practically IGNORED by everyone on the streets yesterday. Cars cutting into my lane without looking and reversing their cars even when I was right behind them. The 10 minutes drive to USJ Taipan proved to be rather tensed and … lethal if it wasn’t because of my SKILLFUL driving. Hahahahaha, just kidding.

Gah… I feel like sleeping early but I just couldn’t. I had a 5 hours nap during the afternoon after not having sufficient rest the night before. Mind you, I woke up at 7:30am in the morning just to follow dad to office for a medical blood test. that is like, by far the earliest I’ve waken up since…. ages ago. All because of that, and now I’m bloody wide awake. Also, Manchester United will be throwing everything against Benfica on tonight’s match in order to qualify for the knockout stages. Pretty shaky, I’d say… But history has proven that the Red Devils always make a remarkable comeback so I have faith in them in tonight’s away game.

Then of course, with the highlight of the week, coming from my dad himself who voluntarily said that he will quit drinking. It was just like any other ordinary dinner at Pangkor Fish Head Curry, Taman Mayang when the news came rather shockingly. So obviously, we were dumbstruck. Dad? Quit drinking? Daym…. That’s like CNN weather forecast stating that Malaysia’s gonna snow during the next coming days. But never a doubt that we will always be there for you with our endless support and encouragement. You go, uncle Yap!

And with that, I guess I’d better be off now… Maybe I should do some light packings and probably out for a drink, that is, if we manage to to come up with a plan within the next 60 minutes. Ciao!
