Was Phat Fabes Drifting?

On an early Sunday morning, he looked up to the sky and thought, " Today's gonna be legendary." Today's the day of his first orientation with Tengku Djan Ley a.k.a. Prince of Drift/ Tandem Assassin. Yes, you heard right. Phat Fabes (which is me. Don't know why I'm writing as a narrator, but I sound so cool now) is going to pursue that one passion of his that never died... drifting.

The orientation began with the basics of drifting and safety precautions. Anything and everything from the position of the seat to how to get the car started were taught during the classroom session. Aftter that briefing, two beautiful girls brought me downstairs to meet with two of the trainers (Mervyn Makamura and Ivan Lau) to unveil the new car that I'll be using throughout my training sessions and macha, my car is the awesome-st one ever.

You're now looking at the car I'll be taking my drift lessons in. Excited yet?

Wait for it....

 Feast your eyes!

 Look at my name on it. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'll be sharing the car with Prem.

 

 

I was also presented with a really cool helmet that was sponsored by SOL Racing.

Ok. Here's the catch. I would be given free drift lessons by the best trainers in Malaysia under one condition. After my training stinct, I have to compete in an amateur drift competition and one of the "drifters" that I'm up against is... Prem. Although, I'm pretty sure I have a pretty good head start 'cause guess who didn't show up for orientation today? Prem. Guess who missed out on the most important lesson in drifting? Prem! Hahaha. And since Prem's not here today, I thought I'd take some pics to show him the good time he missed out on.

Anyway, here's two videos for you to enjoy on my first "drifting" experience.

 

 

 

 

P/S: The answer to the title above is.... NO!! I was just enjoying my first taxi ride from one of the top drifters in Malaysia, Tan Tat Wei a.k.a. Wah- Lau- WEI.

Groom Goes Missing, Brother Takes Over

Did you read the news yesterday? A local English paper published a report entitled, "Groom goes missing, brother takes over". The story goes something like this. Apparently, there's this dude who's supposed to marry his fiance and the night before the wedding, he told his family that he's going out for a while to go for a facial. Guess what? He never came back.

 

 

The next day, both families (the bride and the groom's side) were panicking as they couldn't find the groom. Then, someone came up with the smartest idea and said, " Hey, why not let his younger brother take over?". And that's exactly what they did. The supposed groom's younger brother got hitched with his fince instead. I'm assuming they didn't want all the preparation and food go to waste.

 

Look at all the food. Why waste it?

 

The groom's family probably spent thousands for the wedding preparation. I guess it makes no sense to stop the wedding just because the groom went missing.

 

 

How weird is this? I mean, there's a million things you can share with anyone at all but taking over your brother's fiance is just too much.... I want to know your take on this. Feel free to comment k.

The King of All Reusable Bags

Phew! It’s been such a busy week for me. Since my last blog entry, I’ve been running around the city to hunt for the perfect reusable bag. I didn’t want anything that is feminine or too funky. And I was thoroughly surprised to discover that although there are a million reusable bags for sale out there, they weren’t exactly affordable to begin with and I am not going to fork out RM30 just for ONE reusable bag. That’s just insane!

In case you’re wondering, here are the reasons why I can’t seem to find a bag that suits me:

(Too Funky)

(Way too feminine)

(Too childish)

(Too boring)

Do you see my dilemma now?! So, as I walked down one shopping mall after another, I finally spotted it! The perfect bag. *Cue music*. I was so excited that instead of getting one, I bought two. And since it’s new (I love new stuffs. Who doesn’t? J), I’ve decided to take it out for my first official shopping trip. Here are a few pictorial guide on my adventure:

Yup, that’s me. All ready to fill up that gorgeous green bag.

Feast your eyes on the beauty of my bag!

See, even the cashier was smiling from ear to ear when I refused the plastic bag.

And boy, don’t I feel proud. First of many plastic bags I said no to.

You have just witnessed the beginning of epicness. Follow my footsteps and say no to plastic bags.

P/S: If you’re wondering where I got my bag from, I’ll save you the hassle of running around. You can get yours from any Parkson outlets and best of all, it’s affordable and it comes in three cool colours which are green, black as well as brown!.

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

Halloween is just around the corner, macha. I have to attend a Halloween party this Saturday night at Luna Bar and I still haven't decided on what to wear. I thought of showing up as Edward Cullen from Twilight but I dont want to sprinkle gold-dust all over myself. Can you imagine me being all sparkly? I'm sure I'm sexy enough to pull that look off but then again... I don't really want to look like this all night.      

             

 

Then, I thought why not show up as a zombie? It's easy right? All I need are tattered clothes and worn out shoes. As for my make-up, I just need to hire a make-up artist to-be who's still studying and has no idea what a foundation is or where to apply the blusher. See, if I come dressed as a zombie, I could party all night long without

worrying about how I look or what I'd do if someone (or myself) accidentally poured drinks on me. It's all part of the costume dude.

 

  

 

Or, I could CHOOSE to show up in something that has nothing to do wtth the undead or wizards. I could be a really handsome and completely not sober pilot.

 

 

 

I could also reuse my Lederhosen costume.

 

How about me being a police officer? A fighter-jet pilot? Better yet, I could be dressed as Horatio Caine from CSI Miami. Yes, it'll come with the glsses, the suit and the famous wind-in-my-hair wig.

 

   

What or who do you think I should dress up as? Ok, I don't want to come as a sauasge bun or a watermelon k. Or, tell me what will you be wearing to a Halloween party.

 

 

 

 

The Mysterious Murders...

There's been crimes that were committed in my neighbourhood. Crimes that were so heinous they make grown men cringe. Yes, two lives were lost in this terrible tragedy. Let me tell you exactly what happened.

Last week, on a night so cold and dark, I found a dead rat that was the size of a kitten. Now, this is where it gets weird. When I first saw the dead rat, it was about 50 metres away from my house. The next morning, it has been mysteriously "moved" to the front of my gate! And when I came home from work that evening, it had been ran over and over and over again and now, it's as flat as a pancake.

The rat outside my house was bigger than this... and flatter.

 

Then on Monday morning, I saw another lifeless animal right outside my house again! This time, it was a kitten. What's going on? Is someone trying to send me a message?

With my vast experience in crime scene investigation (which I gained through all 3 CSI series), I took out my kit (cotton bud, newspaper, flash light, rubber gloves, Dettol. and plastic bag) and began my post- mortem on the poor kitty. Upon further investigation, I came to a conclusion that it was a homicide case. The kitten was.... poisoned to death as there wasn't any external injuries, not even strangulation marks. 

 

Why would anyone want to murder something as adorable as this? Questions questions....

 

I couldn't examine my first victim as it is now part of the road, after being flattened by cars. So now, the questions that remain are, "Who did it... and why?"

 

(Cue CSI Miami theme music)

 

 

P/S: Now you know what I do on my free time. I write mystery novels, thrillers and fairytales..

My Next Appointment With The Dr

It's been more than a month since my doctor gave me the green light to go back on air. And now I'm nervous. In a few weeks time, I'll have to go see the Dr again to check on my vocal cords and dude, I'm hoping that he says that the swelling has gone down and my voice is as good as new.

I did everything I could to improve the situation of my vocal cords. I drank honey, took ginseng, cut down on my coffee intake (not all the time, but it still counts) and I even tried some weird, traditional remedies that didn't look, taste or smell that great. I'm sure I saw a leg or antennae in my "bowl of alternative medicine" a few times.

No. That's not the soup I drank, but close though (minus the seahorses).

 

I hope this is not the pot that boiled my "soup" when I went to the traditional chinese medicine shop. Even if it is, I REALLy don't want to know what's in there.

 

Anyway, just want to let you know that I am almost confident that my throat's definitely getting better. Let's hope the Dr agrees with me k. I still have to try to not strain my voice when I'm attending parties or events especially the two major ones coming up next month yo, which are the Flyniversary and SHOUT! Awards.

Speaking of SHOUT! Awards, do you know I've been nominated for the Coolest Radio Announcer? :) Vote for me k?

The Biggest Hennessy Artistry Party Yet!

Macha, the H-Artistry party that was held last Saturday at the MIECC was havoc! They were serving unlimited amount of drinks, there were hot women who were all dressed to impress and not forgetting the music and performances. It was the place to be for the weekend.

I arrived at 8.40pm looking my best and look, I even shaved my head. On my way to the lounge, I noticed there was a bunch of photographers and guess what I did? I stopped to pose for the photographers (upon their request, of course) and signed on the huge Hennessy Artistry backdrop.  Mizz Nina, one of the performers for the night, was there and I managed to snap a picture of her.

That’s me signing on the backdrop.

  My beautiful signature. Notice how big I signed?

 

I was then ushered to the red carpet area to take a few pictures with all the party-goers when I saw one of the hosts for the night, Henry Golding. Before you (if you’re a girl) go “Oooh, Henryyyyyyy”, let me tell you that I look good that night also k.

Picture time with a few dudes.

  At least there are girls in this picture.

After the photography session, I decided to head on in to the where the party’s at. And this is where the artists performed.

 

First up on stage was Deja Voodoo Spells yo! They brought the house down with their signature rock songs and for their last number; Prema Yin joined them up on stage with their own rendition of the gun and Roses’ classic, “Sweet Child O” Mine”.

The next performer is our very own, Mizz Nina!!! The crowd went crazy the moment she came up on stage. I must say that she sang really well despite dancing around on stage all night.

I also met a few gorgeous friends of mine partying the night away.

All in all, it was a great night. Definitely the biggest H-Artistry party ever! Were you there? Can you spot yourself in the picture below?
