Julius Caesar
November 3rd, 2008
is it possible to find true love at a Halloween party? maybe somewhere among this throbbing, snaking, complex mess of bodies and nerves, lies a heart – big, red and protected; needing air, needing me. or maybe not. maybe there are no hearts left in this world, and everything needs nothing. i’ve spent two hours here so far. there are boys rubbing their hands all over me and grinding their uninvited bodies against mine. i shimmy uninterestedly, occasionally smacking roving hands away. the alcohol is bubbling nicely to my head. i feel happy. i feel angry that he hasnt called. i sing along loudly to that silly American Boy song. i take many pictures with fellow sailor girls. but all the while, i’m keeping an eye out for my true love. my The One. there is an infinite expanse of quiet within me each time i survey the room. and suddenly i spot this one guy. he’s Julius Caesar, sitting at the bar alone, complete with leafy garland-upon-head. he’s kinda chubby, but intense – i can see it in his eyes. he’s also nice – i can see it in his hands. briefly, i am mesmerized. i contemplate going up to talk to him, but there seems to be barricade after barricade of sweaty humans in between us. nothing meant to be is ever this difficult. and so i turn around, back to Pirate Guy who seems pretty intent on protecting me from other guys although we don’t even know each other’s names, and back to Pretty Korean Boy With Chest Hair. party! at 3am i turn around to find Caesar gone. he’s left. nothing meant to be is ever easy.
people always say, boys will be boys. i begin to reflect on the truth in that statement as i am groped at for what feels like the millionth time that night. as i watch eager couples – strangers to each other just an hour ago – make out against the wall like mating spiders, i wonder if the girls have boyfriends. and if the boys have girlfriends. is it possible to find true love at a Halloween party? conversely, is it possible to lose true love at a Halloween party?
the Pope, however, was very blessed with the ladies that night:
many more Halloween pics to come :) i was a sailor girl this year!

wow…the western society is truly opened!
perhaps in asian societies too……i am not sure? Maybe others can enlighten me?
There are so many temptations around us, we just have to listen to our heart and not just focus on whats in front of us and readily available.
8. kennysia | November 3rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm

happy halloween!
10. kei | November 3rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm
ehhhh ur costume is so cutee! hhahaha why didnt go as sailormooon =((
and and and i think it is possible to find true love in parties but it depends on what kinda person you're looking for lor! because the thing about meeting a guy in parties, is that there is no pressure to do things right because its just good ol' natural fun. and also, unlike falling for high school buddies etc, its someone u know nothing about and so there's a risk/excitement in the getting to know him phase. and so if ur looking for a relationship like that, then of course you can find true love in a party! =D
11. Sandra Pixie | November 3rd, 2008 at 3:08 pm
you look pretty hot in ur sailor outfit….
so did that hamsap pope did something to you? and u smack him off! LOL
12. Ee Vonn | November 3rd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
wow, su ann :)
you looked great!
13. MIchelle | November 3rd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
KINKY SAILORPAO!
HAHAHAHA.
I don't feel happy. :(
14. zzzyun | November 3rd, 2008 at 3:56 pm
i dunno.. but i think relationships formed at parties like this (if they can be labled as relationships in the 1st place) starting with groping and what not, will meet with a premature demise.
maybe im old-fashioned.
but think abt it, if the relationship starts straight off with smtg steamy (without any sort of understanding of each other), the thrill is lost from the very beginning. coupled with the fact that the guy/girl probably is in another relationship before that, making things very messy and the tell-talling sign that he/she is not really the faithful type.
so if u ask old fasioned me, i think this parties are only probably good for one-night stands. but probably not long-term relationships.
ps: note that i'm not refering to relationships that start from just a normal get to know a guy from a party sort of thing. as that might work out.
15. vvens | November 3rd, 2008 at 4:05 pm

16. Nat | November 3rd, 2008 at 4:23 pm

24. thegeekinpink | November 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pm
haiyah why you walked in on people doing the naughties?! take picture somemore.
:) it's better not to find true love in that party… i know yours is meant to be from elsewhere.
25. entwined | November 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
wtf @ 4th pic. i think i see her undies, so i guess it's not the actual act. :P
and you look great! :D cute and sexy :)
26. mei | November 3rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
omg i know what you mean about telling that a guy is nice from his hands! hehe! i think it's one of the first things i look at when i look at a guy. (did that sound creepy?)
anyway, don't be angry at martian. maybe he was busy. did he call after the party?
27. linsey | November 4th, 2008 at 1:44 am
show the front of your outfit! =X
28. howzan | November 4th, 2008 at 2:01 am
how come it looks so much like donald duck? hehe…
29. yizhen | November 4th, 2008 at 5:00 am
you looked steaming hot in that outfit :))) i dont know if true love can be found in parties but nothing is impossible, so. aiyah should've gone to talk to julius caesar, if nothing else you might've gotten a new friend at least :)
30. lishun | November 4th, 2008 at 5:22 am
ah american parties. reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me. he grew up in the states and when he came back to malaysia, a buddy of his from school paid him a visit here. naturally, they hit the clubs in kl and his friend started bumpin' and grindin' with the malaysian ladies and received a coupla slaps and “heydoiknowyous”. lol. such different cultures we live in, on the same planet.
31. khian voon | November 4th, 2008 at 6:42 am
were there any heath ledger's jokers there? like the office?
32. Grace | November 4th, 2008 at 6:43 am
what a scandalously short skirt! :O
haha yum.
33. isa. | November 4th, 2008 at 9:38 am
HAHAHAHAHAHA
i love the pope.
thats a good pope.
i wonder if jesus 'rose' that night.
i think its very very veryy hard to find love at a party.
you might find lust.
or the kind of love that looks good through the bottom of a bottle, but not next to you in bed the next morning.
you might find stds.
love?
nah.
34. ap | November 4th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
LOL Pope o_O
this is seriously off-putting….. it's like, i just wanted to give myself over to the music..! ….i'm happy if pple would join me in that sentiment and dun mind getting close but hate having to fend off hands repeatedly, what, do they not understand no? urgggh plus its offensive to think how they think they can buy u drinks and hopefully u'll become more receptive….. i'd allow for the possibility that i could be attracted enough to welcome such advances and it wouldnt be because of alcohol, dun think those are grounds for a relationship, but might just spark off an acquaintance that can lead to things…..
35. Irene | November 4th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
the sailor costume is too cute for words. but you would've looked smokin' too as cleopatra ;)
i think you can find love anywhere. it just depends if you're looking for it.
36. sheon | November 4th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
nice s. :P
wah! the 'pope' really enjoyed the party, yes?
when you're under the influence of alcohol, with the right amount, you can even find true love with a lamp post.
37. pinkpau | November 4th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
sweatlee : haha sailor will be anything for you, dahling!
sieutheng : this one i got from US! want me to bring one back for you? /wiggle
grouchy smurf : ur grandpa wont be alone
ronin : popemobile?!? hahahaha
kevin : wait for next post okayyyyy
jessicasze : im not as hot as vegetarian girl :P
sheryl0202 : wise words :)
kennysia : eh next year i want to go as a duck. a fluffy duck!
abby : i just felt a bit uncomfortable cos their faces were fully revealed :) kinda ruins the mood of the post i suppose. at least the other pictures you cant see the girls' faces and just a bit of the pope's.
kei : if i went as sailor moon, i would go ALL OUT okay. i spent half of my childhood loving sailor moon :P i was the biggest fan ever.
sandra : haha no i didnt go anywhere near him. he was too busy for me :P
ee vonn : thank u! :)
michelle : whyyyyy :( whats wrong
zzzyun : you make a good point :) but do you watch grey's anatomy? if you do, the way meredith and mcdreamy met is exactly what i meant when i asked if you can find true love at a halloween party. they basically started from a one night stand.. which resulted in 5 seasons of crazy insane true love! :) i know it's tv.. but i've seen it happen in real life too.
vvens : im always careful! :) hehe no i didnt go near him
nat : ahh as long as you can look after yourself :) it's always interesting to me to watch guys try to make their move.
skyler : i have yet to see that! but when i do, you will be the first to know
bee : um no they were not having sex if that's what you're asking
jun : i didnt wonder why i was getting groped :P anyway it's not the costume… those guys would have groped anythign that moved!
lisan : huh no of course he wasnt o_O they were dancing
hui wen : i didnt have the right shoes so i refused :P maybe next year when i can have my glads.
brenda : thank uuu :)
nyrac : THAT is a costume i will spend a whole month putting together if need be :P
thegeekinpink : my true love is from mars! and yours is a veggie
entwined : nope not the actual act, thank goodness :P
mel : HE DIDNT. im still angry :(
linsey : next post! anyway the front of the outfit sucks. i had to safety pin it cos the front was too wide :(
howzan : hahahahaha now that you mention it! i never actually realized that donald duck had a sailor outfit !
yizhen : nothing meant to be is ever easy :) i guess i got discouraged too quickly
li shun : word!
khian voon : not at this party, but the next day (the real halloween day) i saw lots and lots of jokers
grace : haha too short for my liking actually. i had to keep pulling it down the whole time. the next day i got frustrated and put on leggings. but still had to keep pulling it down
isa : i bet he rose.. and went forth and multiplied. isa you're so cynical about love! i wouldnt have thought!
ap : haha wow you're very serious about this. i dont know.. i think when it comes to parties.. it's all about letting loose and having fun. a good way to make sure strangers dont disturb you is to party with good, trustworthy guy friends who will protect you :)
irene : but sometimes love comes to us even when we dont look for it :) or evades us even when we do. but i'm totally with you when you say we can find love anywhere.
sheon : hahahaha a lamp post! i know many people who find true love in the sidewalk after too much alcohol :P or the bottom of the stairwell
38. Gin | November 4th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
