This is going to be an freaking long photopost. yes, another one of those. hopefully not too monotonous because it's composed mostly of arm's length shots and inebriated or in the process of being inebriated people. somehow we managed to not catch any of the alcohol. except for probably for the glass of wine lina's holding below (lina! tsk tsk!). seriously, the only other photo i have that has any alcohol in it is one of someone you guys don't know. so what's the point of putting that up, aye? and probably one or two of me with a glass of wine (that's never empty =P)
So, this was a really long time ago and i'd promised to put it up so it's finally done. it really was quite fun to have lina in auckland. and good timing too since it was the med revue and i was trying to get more imu into the mix. which turned out to be quite a success considering it was a week's work (again) even though we'd be thinking about doing something for a long time.
Act 1.1 - Med Revue -
(okay so it isn't really in order but i felt like writing that)
after a week's worth of after lecture practices, rearranging music, changing steps, stressing a little, practising some more, keeping my fingers crossed that the boys won't jack, recording ourselves so we know how cool (silly) we actually look. this is the three of them before the show at saleena's and atiqah's place. haha! =P
This was the sign outside our changing room. one of them lip marks is mine =P
do you wonder why it's the sex lounge? O_o!
L to R - Tim, Moi, Sebastian, Carolyn. all auckland classmates. seb is obviously not himself.
Sal and Lina. i drew those so-called butterflies. in my state of unsteadiness.
Lina and Amanda. i like this photo. somehow amanda's look adds character. not meaning that lina doesn't either. have character, that is. eeps!
that was my face art. timothy ho (there are just too many tims and timothys in this world) helped me draw it out with my eye pencil and i lined it with liquid liner. i was quite happy with it :)
lina's come hither look =P it's all about the sex, girls
waiting around in the green room and watching the other acts before our turn
lina and carolyn
that's me painting ciaran's (let me help you. it's pronounced kee-ran) face. he was supposed to be the jug of red drink from family guy. i'm not sure if he's supposed be beer.
more goofy photos in the dressing room
somewhere along the line, lina met up with wei san. i don't know when this happened so i'm putting it here. as intermission hehehe!
that one there is dora. yes, as in dora the explorer dora. her parents make watch parts for expensive watches. i think.
i like this photo of lina and me. but i don't remember taking it. wuhaha.
kit chung came to watch lina. he wouldn't have come to the med revue otherwise. hehe. he was smart and bought tickets for the second night. we do the med revue for three nights running. the first night is sometimes fumbly and the third night could be mayhem because people are drunk listless and may turn up on stage late or not at all. so second night's best.
this one was from the second night i think. i had stars on my face the second night.
and this would be the first day. strokes of creativity only hit the second and third night. and i started doing make up the lina, sal and atiqah then as well.
this was how many people were in the room. we were squashed in that tiny space trying to put make-up on, take photos, be altogether idiots. L to R - tess, glenn (with way too white stage make-up and his drunk face), dora, carolyn, atiqah, two random guys at the back i don't know, lina, tim, yunmi (she be korean) up front and alana in the corner.
and this is me taking their photo haha
this is mark. he's very hairy. he has dreadlocks and a full-bodied beard. acks. and back hair. he's a regular gorilla man.
i picked this photo because you can see the make up. haha. i helped put that on.
that's part of the crew waiting around while the undie run took place, i think. i can't think why i wasn't there. L to R - james, diana, tess, random guy with shirt on face, mark, amanda, richard, sal, atiqah and lina.
Act 1.2 - After Party at Margaritas
I'm choosing not to post many pictures from the after party for many reasons. one of them being the photos are inappropriate for public consumption. but their on facebook anyway =P
i quite like photos in which lina has her eyes closed. make her look lemah lembut.
this is angus. dora's bf. he took the infamous poor hand placement photo of me, dora and lina on facebook.
----------------end of act 1------------------
Act 2 - more clubbing
so lina wanted to berskanky. she lent me her shirt. or rather the remains of what used to be a promising shirt. haha.
there lina is again with another drink. ;P and her kit chung
lina, me and nadia. she was in the year above us. imu m2. never saw her before auckland. as we do so many m2s.
nadia, lina and shafiq who's kit chung's flatmate. 3rd year mara student who started at auckland. not through imu like the rest of us cheaters. and this would be kitchung's house.
somehow i managed to make bal's head disappear when i took this photo. L to R - subha (m204), gayathri (i think she was m203), nav (anaesthetic registrar, ex-imu), kevinjit (house officer extraordinaire), atiqah, bal the headless leather jacket wearing ghost, and lina.
all the photos are out of chronological order really. but all the cool hang outs were at kit chung's place.
arm's length. but so many people in the photo k!
---------------end of act 2----------------
Act 3 - Masquerade Party - yes we had one of those too
so it was thought to be appropriate to have a party in lina's honour. since she was going to go away soon and we hadn't had a party yet. (clubbing and random hang outs in large groups do not count) This is kit chung and lina. i think kit chung's mask is supposed to be some sort of anime character. *shrug*
we spent alot of time taking photos with candles and night mode cams. obviously timothy was our camera man
i like this photo of lina. strong yet soft. haha.
we got burnt by alot of the wax. and i thought it was a shame we didn't have better environments to camwhore in. insert luna here
that's mr. camera man. i was supposed to be a vampire assassn. i had the teeth even.
it was after all halloween.
here lina is all coy... be careful of this one. hehe
it's hard trying to be creative in a corridor with blank walls and no fancy decor. haha
and lina had quite a bit of trouble standing still. haha. i guess you could say she's poetry in motion. haha. corny. no marilyn don't do that =P
quite a few of the photos she was blur except for the hand(s) steadied by the wall.
like so. haha. nice photo though. if only it wasn't in a whitewashed hallway.
halfway through it was merdeka day. so we broke out in exuberant negaraku and that other patriotic song i don't the words to. it was so loud thomas and mankeat could hear across the corridor to the other side. (i live on the same floor as kit chung but on the other side of the building)
that's v and nadia. haha
another anime character but i dunno which
lina looks like the virginal sacrifice here. haha! i'd probably be the executioner.
mandatory group photo of the people who were at the party. timothy was a modified version of the guy from pan's labyrinth. even managed to get light spot on his 'eyes' in this photo. i thought the guy wearing the whole outfit (except for pants of course) backwards was very smart. that's the leftmost fella. missing two more people in this photo.
kit chung obliged one camwhore photo with lina. hehe
and finally we come to the end. masquerade party was quite fun :) wished there were just more of the kecoh people there though.
-------------------end of act 3----------------------
so that was pretty much lina's experiences with me. i think she also spend some time up north in whangarei (pronounced fangarei) where kit chung was doing his paeds. but i don't know if anything fun happened there. =))
