Dear Diary,Hoh, how I love saying that.
The Post Christmas Day Post vPOST Party.
Like how I told Supertall yesterday when he asked me
to choose a samping for him for a wedding we were going to yesterday,
Supertall: Sayang, I nak pakai samping yang mana?
(Ada tiga samping)Sayang:
(attempt buat lawak) Pakai samping yang tu di samping samping-samping yang lain.
Superlong-haired Supershort di samping Supertall dengan sampingnya. To my readers who don't understand Malay,
this joke is not translatable, I'm sorry.
So back to the
vPOST party post :),
I was one of the lucky 10 ten Malaysian bloggers
who were invited by
Nuffnang to an all-expense paid trip and stay to Singapore
for
vPOST Christmas & Costume Party last weekend.
Who would say No when you were told,
1. You are going to Singapore by a luxury coach
2. You will be staying at
Marriott Hotel (it is IN THE MIDDLE OF
Orchard Road! And it was in the midst of Singapore Christmas Sale!)
3. You can bring a blogger friend
Apparently
Ringo said No because she was in Japan at that time
and
Hanis said No too because she didn't know I was going, auwwww..
And
Nuffnang said,
I definitely earned my bragging rights because
there are apparently 29,000 Malaysian bloggers signed with Nuffnang
and to be ONE from the TEN chosen out of 29,000 bloggers is definitely worth
bragging blogging.
And since I am back on my bragging mode,
I was the only Malay blogger on the trip ;)
(tulah
Hanis, kalau tak kita boleh brag, camwhore dan kena kutuk beramai-ramai bersama-sama)
The main sponsor of the event,
vPOST is an online shopping and shipping service provided by
Singapore Postand invited bloggers had to come with assigned letter of either
v,
P,
O,
S or
T.
I was assigned with the letter
T.
Hmmm, T, T, what can I do and be with T?
At first I was suggested with
Tinkerbell, the green fairy who never grows up.
I thought it would be pretty cool since I have stopped growing at 5 feet tall (I know MY height lah, kan?)
and that many say I live in never-never land from the way I blog.
Yelah, yelah.
But then the costume shop which Supertall rented his 'Marcell costume' from does not carry Tinkerbell costume of my size!
'We don't carry kids' size here', uihhh, sedapnya mulut.
Option 2 was coming as
Tomb Raider.
Best jugak tu, since I already have the outfit
but then carrying fake guns to Singapore might stop the fun
just before I entered Singapore, kan?
This full-of-myself self decided to come to the party costumed as,
*drumroll...*
THE BANNED YOGA INSTRUCTOR!
Armed with a hung yoga mat and armoured with
- in-your-face sportsbra
- neon horns
- uneven smokey eyes
- and badly untoned abs,
I thought it was just perfect,
since Singapore and Malaysia are the only two countries
absurd smart enough
to have even thought about banning yoga.
So yes, IN YOUR FACE.
The rest of the Malaysian bloggers sent everyone into hysterical laughter
as they showed up as
Fireangel, the
Shopaholic
My lovely guest blogger,
Nellie as Archie comic's
Veronica Lodge
Already 4-inches-taller-than-Ninie Nellie chose to wear 4-inches-heels
when Ninie wore her flattest flats
With supercute
Audrey who dressed as
Virgin Bride (and won Best Dressed Female Blogger for the event!)
Cindy, the winner of first Malaysian Dreamgirl as
Venus Goddess
KY as
Pirate
Suanie as
Steve Irwin
and Malaysia's No.1 rated blogger,
Kenny Sia as
Old ManDo you know that
kennysia.com gets 15,000 to 20,000 hits A DAY?
If my hated, narcissist, exhibitionist and names-dropping
The Yoga Instructor Diarieswith average of 1,000 visits a day gets RMX,XXX from Nuffnang ads and advertorials monthly,
I wonder how much does Kenny earn from blogging solely.
(I have done my maths and Kenny, hats off!
And belanja big dinner, wei!)
Another thing, as I typed the a href links to all the top-ranked Malaysian bloggers above,
I just realized that THEY ALL have .com or .net of their own!
I seriously don't b e l o n g here.
Back to the party,
I was looking for a
Pak Haji or
Tok Mufti to pose with
this banned yoga instructor but I only met a
Pastor, OK lah..
There were also Singaporeans
School Teacher and
Pupil
I also bumped into an oooooold friend (c'mon, you are way older than me, kan?)
Saniboeywith his newly-wed wife,
Azreen who came dressed as
Sushi King and
School Girl.
They have recently migrated to Singapore (and loving it!)
for Saniboey is now the editor of
Manja Singapore.
We were in Singapore for less than 24 hours, if you can believe me
but the overall trip and party were worth every minute.
I kissed (albeit an old)
Kenny Sia,
I discovered
H-A-R-A-M is
M-A-R-A-H in mirror,
and I managed to buy an obscene 10 pairs of fake eyelashes
So from the tip of her horns till the fold of her three-stripes,
this banned yoga instructor sincerely,
thanks
vPOST for the fun party,
thanks
Nuffnang (especially Chee Ching, Yee Hou, Pinky and KL team) for the invite,
thanks
Kenny,
Audrey,
Cindy,
Fireangel,
Suanie,
Jolene,
Ginny,
Huai Bin,
KY(did I miss anyone?) for making the trip an awesome one,
thanks
Saniboey and
Azreen for taking Nellie and I
for showing us around and
for the (quote Azreen:)
'late supper and ice cream in Swensen's were undeniably sensational close to having an orgy minus the sex',
thanks
Nellie for I couldn't ask for a better company,
and thanks
Singapore &
Malaysia for banning yoga but not enforcing it.
The whole thing was exactly what I needed to recharge my battery
after the seemingly-endless November and December.
