Selangor Bar's "Swinging to the 70's"

The Selangor Bar had a bit of a Meet and Mingle for the Lawyers, Judges and the Chambering Students as well as the KL BAR was invited as well.

Mostly however it was the litigators that came to the Party.. Armed with their insatiable appetites for the Free Flow Beer.. they were more than happy outside enjoying each other's 'bottom's up' skill!

I got to meet some interesting people at my table ( I'm sorry I was a bit anti social and didn't do any Mingling despite the purpose of the event itself ) and I didn't get to meet other lawyers elsewhere..

They seemed quite intimidating as they were
1. quite tipsy...
2. much older than me.... ( I didn't know where the other chambies were ) and
3. they were in a LARGE group whereas I was one AND!!!! more importantly
4. they werent' any CUTE GUYS!!! (IMPORTANT!!)




We had some Rocker band to play for us. I'm pretty sure the Judges who weren't accustomed to Loud blaring music were given a time of their lives! ( they were seated right next to the stage) The Rocker Band.. I can't remember their names... play frequently at Hard Rock Cafe and has a rather good reputation.. and good skills! I would say.. That and they really rocked it out!

AFter a couple of beers to whet his throat.. he was more than happy to oblige the audience with some dancing and head banging.

Oh and there was a Lucky Draw ceremony as well ( not that I won anything -.-)
i hardly win ANY lucky Draws unLESS It's bias or rigged. other than that... No. I havne't won anything!

and apparently according to some lawyers ( who were at my table .. coincidently knew my master as well) said that the KL BAR is slightly more stuffy than the Selangor Bar. Idon't know.. I wasn't at the KL bar so I wouldn't know if it was stuffy or not! But I do know that at least the Lucky Draw prize giving ceremony was fun. and no one really bothered what the prize was.. they were just in it for the heck of it. Quite a good time I would say. If I had more friends there I'm pretty sure it would have been more enjoyable!

But the night ended early for me.... maybe it's the corporate lawyer/antisocialness creeping out from under my skin.. ;)

Not quite sure if i'll attend anymore events like this.. but I surely didn't regret going! :D

p.s. I MIGHT be posting up pictures of myself soon . ^_^

Fiona Q - the upgraded version

These days, it seems that the IN thing for Asians is to lose their VERY long surname.. and change it to one letter of the Alphabet.

I guess they wanna emulate the J.Lo. and P Diddy.. and hosts of other names that people are trying to Market.

we have SErena C, Adam C, dunno who else.. lah.. but got so many C.. soo I thought.. If I did teh same.. it's like following teh Crowd kan?

so i decided that the new upgraded version of my name reflecting the times that we live in would be FionaQ.

for short.. it could be F...Q

please.. pleasee.. my name is NOT vulgar at all. it IS my real name after all.. actually my real name is FCQL.. but take that's too long laah.. macam tak best.

;)

anyway wanna hear a bit of drama?

the other day I was at this building in KL doing some due diligence (Corporate talk) and I parked my car. went up.. did my thing and came back down and realised..

WHERE THE HECK IS MY CAR!!!!

STress.. DRAMA.. I went to the floors.. check check.. no car no car nocar!!!! why is my car no there!!

Then I went up to the concierge and asked the guuy.. I can't find my car.. I really can't.. I hope and pray it's not missing.. I just hope I'm a dumbass that forgot where my car is... but I'm 99 percent sure i parked it at B2.. and I just can't seem to find it!

so he went with me looking for my car.. nice guy.. he was in a suit and we were walking around the dingy basement looking for a small Myvi.

i asked him.. do cars go missing often?

He said.. No.. not on his watch. it never happened before.

so there I was praying that I was indeed an idiot who parked her car somewhere else and got confused.

then he said something VERY important..

Did you part at Tower 1 or 2?

I was like erm.. i dunno. I just came out lah then I went up..

Then it hit me! OOHH mebbe I DID park in the other wing..

Quickly While he patrolled the floors with the motorcycle, I went to the other wing and looked for my car.

IT WAS THERE! *thank goodness*

so I sheepishly went back to the guy and told him.. ahaha.. Ya saya bodoh.. ( okay.. I didn't say that) I said.. Oh I was mistaken I'm soo sorry to take up your time.. I found my car already.

and Thankfully he didn't look at me with the

"Aiyoh... this Stupid bodoh girl" look.

he had a laugh on his face when I sheepishly told him I found my car. AT B2. ahaha.
and he said.. lain kali.. ingat k? wahh.. I felt like such a small kid!

then the very next day.. i went to Taylors college to give a small talk about my experiences as a chambie. I felt soo OLD then. College life is QUITE different from what I experienced. It's almost like a US highschool. quite cool. Mine was more like a tuition center.

Anyhow.. Bottom line is.

I found my car *phew*

but! If i have a tow truck.. I know exactly what practical joke to play next year.

the Atomic Kitten

If you're feeling a lil bit bored.. and a lil bit adventorous..

Kindly go to the nearest travel agent/facebook/google/wiki and search for soemthing to do. maybe even go to a theme park and scare the beejibers out of yourself. Or eat that snake's heart that you never could quite do. But NEVER.. I repeat NEVER decide on getting a new haircut just because you're bored.

You might look like a sheepdog afterwards. IF you're lucky enough.

damn. I was a bit adventurous.. as I've always been. and I talked to the Hairstylist. (remind me not to go there again.. they don't speak english) that's ALWAYS a bad sign.

I told him. What can you do with my hair..

AFTER ALL ... he IS the Professional right??
Dammit.

he said.. blah blah blah.. cut shorter balh ablh.. will make your hair frizzy if you don't blow it. blah blah blah..

I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at.. so I just sat in the chair. then eh procedeed to cutting off my hair.

CHUNKS of it!

!%#%@^

Alright at first I thought okay.. he's thininng myhair.. no problem.
BUT! that.. *insert expletive of your choice here* fella. cut it so I now look like a sheepdog.

the last fella who cut it.. did it so that the INSIDES are thin but the outside is nice and long. so it's nice looking.. like a proper person... you know.. the kind that looks nice when they wake up and dont' have to spend so much time on their hair?

THIS *insert any other expletive that you didn't use above* guy just made me look like a .. qualified LALA mui. with short hair and long tails.

WTHWRHWTGHWTHWTGWTHWTH..!!!

my fringe.. is SOOO short and it's sooo unmanageable... that when I wake up.. it's like I have an atomic mushroom cloud on my head.... TERRIBLE.

Honestly. I really dun like my new haircut. it's the BOMB. literally.

and no.. I will not post up a picture for everyone to see me looking like an the Atomic Kitten.

but I guess.. because I have a bad haircut. I have to put in more effort looking nice.. in OTHER ways.

SIGH.. such a bother!

Mariah Carey is and will forever be a Diva!

you know Mariah Carey follows the sign of the times when....

1. the clothing that is on her for each music is getting smaller and smaller..

2. her boobs magically get bigger and bigger.




And... the title of her new song is LITERALLY 'TOUCH MY BODY'
I mean. I know she was asking for it but... WAH .. a bit Direct right?

However you TRULY know that Mariah Carey will survive the test of times.. ( she has just surpassed ANYONE and EVERYONE for most number of singles to hit No.1) At least I think so lah.. Cause you know why?

She has a Crazy sense of humour.

She's clearly learnt well from the misdemeanours of Lindsay, Paris.. and anyone else.. why?
Look at her lyrics!!

If there's a camera up in here
Then it's gonna leave with me
When I do (I do)
If there's a camera up in here
Then I'd best not catch this flick
On YouTube (YouTube)
'Cause if you run your mouth and brag
About this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
'Cause baby I'm up in my bidness
Like a Wendy interview
But this is private
Between you and I

I especially like the Part where she says she will hunt you down. In a seductive tone nonetheless.

Don't you want a chick like that?

She's one cool Diva lah.. Only she will hunt people down.. Mebbe the new generation should learn a thing or two from her!

Min Min Must be REALLY angry...

I saw this poster on the road out of Tmn Megah ( read Old LimkokWing/Williams) and I noticed the first one coming out of the junction near the school.. and then there was another one.. and then the last one at the traffic light.

I know don't know about you.. but probably this guy had the same idea as the guy who married Kelly TAn E Li. ( her name is so famous on the billboard, that guy might as well be Mr. Kelly!! )

but I guess the guy ( at least I think it's a guy) that pissed Min Min off must have not have the same deep pockets as Mr. Kelly. so he could only put up banners.

I wonder if they are legal.. they definately DON'T look legal to me!

anyway.. Dear Min Min.. I wonder if you're still angry.. and I really wonder what he did to piss you off!

The Day you forgot to bring your 'handphone' with you...

(btw, that's my phone!)

... everyone in the world tries to reach you.

I put the term 'handphone' in inverted commas because, although it is commonly known and referred to as a handphone in Malaysia, many other people from other nations/ different backgrounds LAUGH! yes.. LAUGH at us un educated people who use the term Handphone.

Why?

Because OF COURSE it's a HAND phone.. would it be a LEG phone? or an ARM phone? It's like stating the obvious.

But you see, in Malaysia.. we fondly refer to the handphone as the handphone because we use our hands to use the phone. But that definition would not jsut be limited to handheld mobile phone. Why do we not call it a mobile phone? Some places do.. maybe some people do. But the majority still know it fondly as a handphone.

And Yes. i'm not joking. People from other countries make fun of us 'handphone' duhh people.

hahaha. Well I guess Malaysians are just people who either have a great sense of humour. Just like the Chinese (in China)

X rated a bit.. but he must be quite upset with the Fruits...

Hurtle wha?

Now this makes SOME sense...

Please dun take the pets...

And won't you carefully meet your head with the beam right here? ^_^

Lollipop Lollipop. oohhh loli lolipop!

Do you rememebr the song that goes lollipop, lollipop.. ohhh loli lolipop!

I always sing that song whenever i'm in a good mood or when I'm eating a lollipop. I don't eat lollipops often. I used to when i was studying.. but not anymore.

But today during lunch I spotted a familliar sight. A lollipop jar.. filled with Lollipops.. the 1o cent kind you used to get at school. Nope not those round chupa chupa high class ones.. nope!

it's those flat lollipops that come in an assortment of normal colourings and flavours. No such thing as vanilla straberry yogurt.. etct etc.. here you don't even know waht is the flavour.. only by the colour of the packaging!


Anyway, it didnt' taste like how i remembered it.. and it was gone before I knew it. Must be the bigger mouth. ^_^

But i could have an altered memory.

i'll never know for sure... ;p

Women need to have permission from their relatives to travel abroad.

This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

Wait. i'm sure there are more ridiculous things! But anyway, this instance, the MINISTER... lets not name any... said that.. to prevent the Women from being sold off into prostitution rings.. etc etc.. ALL women should get the approval from their relatives before leaving the country.

it's just WTH! So If I want to leave the country.. maybe for a business trip.. i need to get my family's consent? What If i'm busy and it's last minute? Will I be barred from travelling out of the country because my family wasn't available to say.. Yes my daugther is allowed to travel overseas?

Terrible policy Makers these people are.. It's not bad enought that only Fathers are able to bring their children out of the country at one point of time, but now women need to seek approval as well?

The last time i remember.. we're not living in some place where our women get duped so easily into prositution. But I may stand corrected.. after all.. this minister MUST be well informed. :S

But i guess to make sure that Wives do not go 'wandering' around.. they must be nipped from actually being able to make their own decisions..

Wife: 'abang.... saya nak pergi Bali... '
Husband: 'tak boleh.. hanya bang yang boleh pergi tempat tempat ini tanpa pengetahuan you'

If you're afraid of your Wife going to places to find out that your other wives stays there.. aiyoh.. no need to implement it nationwide right?

Tsk tsk tsk.


but anyway... besides that story.. i would just like to add alittle Yoga humour into your lives.

I havne't been to yoga in a long long while. and My body is as stiff as a corpse. But when I went back.. my yoga instructor was looking at me funny. And then after a while, after of course I said hi to him that I used to take his class a long time ago.. he said.. 'OH! yeah I remember you.. you're MUCH chubbier now.. I didn't recognise you. '

*dammit* thanks alot man...

then he added. 'you've put on a lot of weight already.'

*sucks* tell me something I DON'T already know..

then he added again 'why are you so fat now'

*grrr* cause I eat and didn't exercise lah!

then he continued 'you used to be thinner. Your face is much rounder'

*haiiyaaahhhhhh* cause I fat already mah!

and lastly. 'your tummy keeps sticking out'

*pengsan* dangit. I know you are fit lah... I already said i havne't been to gym!


Well anyway... after some stretches.. and my tummy showing here and there.. and my big ass made to stick out in many akward positions.. I was chuckling to myself in the mirror when I saw all the other rocking yoga persons. Heck I like Yoga ( liket he artistic Yoga) cause it looks cool. But some poses.. are like. WTH. it puts you in such a akward and humiliating position.. that honestly if you were doing that ANYWHERE else.. people will just stare at you funny.. and keep their children away from you. Most of the positions are quite obscene as well. If you odn't know what I mean, please feel free to observe a Yoga class. Anyone will do. and you'll see how akward some may be.

But I TRY as best as I can to be fluid in yoga movement and make it in an ARtform. But really. it's difficult when he's telling you to put your toe on your head... or when he asks you to look at your butt. Or worse. stick your butt out and extend your hands. Sure some positions make you look like a ballerina but some others will make you cringe if someone was to take a picture. GAh.

Anyway the best thing about Yoga is the 5 minutes meditating time. ;)

love that. no where else can you be an adult and still have nap time.
