Pampered like a girl

2 more days

2011-12-30T02:51:00.001+08:00

2 more days to bid goodbye to 2011. It has been a relatively good year, bringing me most of the times joy and good news. And of cos, episodes of drama do happen at times. Thank you god, friends and loved ones for standing by me for this whole year. I pray for a good new year ahead for everyone, and may good news and good events keep coming in! :)

Positivity huh? Heh...

Falling in love with this lovely princess already. :p

December

2011-12-02T08:52:00.001+08:00

Always love December. It spells holidays, festive seasons, pressies, weddings, a reason to meet and catch up with friends and loved ones. :)

Though the first day of the last month of the year did not exactly started off well for me, I am still pretty hopeful for that my first flight of December (Frankfurt New York) will be a happy and rewarding one.

Best news for the day though, my dearest boy cleared all his exams! Pop champagne pleaseeeee! :p

2011-11-17T02:02:00.001+08:00

Hope my pathetic eye will recover soon. Leaving for Hong Kong with mummy in a few hours time. Hope to come home with lots of shopping and perhaps a new perspective about life and relationship. Some things just cannot be forced right or not? (:

Good night my friends and readers.

2011-11-14T00:49:00.001+08:00

I guess I was a little over my emotion earlier on. I should let things and nature take place by themselves. There must be a reason why things are such.

Off to nightstopping in Shanghai tomorrow then a short trip to Hong Kong with mummy! :)

Future

2011-11-13T21:12:00.001+08:00

I have lived for 27 years of my life, thus far. Don't you think it's kind of pathetic when there is no one to discuss about the future together with you at this point of your life?

With a stable relationship that we are hanging on together, but I just realise there is no future to talk about a couple of hours ago. When you think I don't like kids (but I keep bringing or rather hinting about having my own children), when everyone else, peers and friends around you are moving on to a new of stage of life, but marriage isn't on your list now. And we did not have any plan about our future at all. I feel tense and a need to find out what I really want in my life.

To be with someone you really love, or have someone who is willing to have a future with you. A small humble house, with kids of my own, and the man to grow old together.

Almost 28 in a few months time. It's scary. Kind of.

I hope I will find an answer soon...

小动作

2011-10-21T16:44:00.001+08:00

如果需要利用小动作, 才能让别人注意到你. 这样会好吗?

2011-10-13T16:52:00.001+08:00

Can't wait for Nov 5 to be over.

2011-10-13T03:46:00.001+08:00

Give in again. I can't help it.
:D

Smile!

2011-10-12T15:25:00.001+08:00

就连不开心, 也要一个人. Swallow all the bitterness ba girl. You won't want children of the future to say you are an emo freak. Like some people claim you are. Keep to yourself & stop blogging them out.

I nod.

Smile to a good day ahead!:)

忽然之间

2011-10-12T02:42:00.002+08:00

忽然之间天昏地暗
世界可以忽然什么都没有

I am disappointed, like again.

Hai...

Should I move on?

A tough decision, really.

This September....

2011-09-26T03:29:00.004+08:00

September has been a really busy month. Doing frankfurt new york consecutively, (am currently doing the 2nd one, still a couple of days away till I reach home.) I scream tiredness, like seriously. Last trip, I met Joey in frankfurt. We had pasta, pizza, spinach and ice cream, visited museum with the boy in new york, had our favorite banana pudding, chicken over rice, lobster bisque, lobster roll, lobster ravioli, alice's tea cup for breakfast, thai food in frankfurt and a whole lot of time together, though there were moments when little squabbles and tension arise, but probably he didn't know, there was always this indescribable of joy whenever I wake up from sleep, to find him sleeping next to me.

And yet, I find us not understanding each other as time goes by. Is it the love just not enough or we are not that meant to be after all? Me, being ultra sensitive maybe is an issue. Perhaps I should not have taken everything around us so seriously after all. So what if things have change? So what if feelings have change? The journey ahead of me is still way too long to predict. Lots of challenges to cope with. And who knows one day, when I look back, I would be thankful that all these incidents happened after all, and thankful that I gave us a chance to break our friendship chain and move on into a relationship. I know I have tried.

2011-09-22T19:11:00.001+08:00

Back from Frankfurt and New York!

Will be back for more updates!

Ciao!

Wait

2011-09-12T02:05:00.002+08:00

Why is everything revolving around the word called "wait"?

Waiting for someone proclaiming to turn into a new person.

Waiting for a future that I desire but I just have to WAIT.

I begin to wonder if this is what I want.....

Like seriously...

AMS - Life is good.!.

2011-09-08T23:17:00.005+08:00

Life has been good. Meeting up with the girls almost every other week, work and more work, but I try to keep myself positive, by reading books, sweating out in the gym during the "i am not lazy" days, indulging in food and bubble tea. Hehe...

Am currently in Amsterdam. The weather is gloomy. Been raining yesterday and today. Had ribs yesterday and thai food today. Ribs was excellent but thai, I could get better one in SFO. Keke... Am satisfied too, cos I went gym in the morning for 1.5hours. *giggle* Didn't get any single bit thinner but yeah, good enough, that my lazy bum was off from my computer chair in the room. Hehe..

Probably going out to buy dinner in the evening, and da-bao MAC back. Haha. Am super craving for the fries. Lol.. And probably a scroll along the river and walking streets if it's not raining and not too cold.

Alright, I hope your day has been good. Can't wait to play lanterns, fly kites, drink tea and eat mooncakes on Saturday! :p

Take care all! =)

Friday night!

2011-08-26T23:58:00.002+08:00

Friday night is spent watching tv with mummy, eating home-cooked food, drinking lychee champagne with daddy, and talking to brothers about random stuffs. Was just complaining openly on Facebook that it's boring to stay home and have no date on a friday night. But no doubt spending time at home with family is more joyous than I expected. :)

Craving for movie dates, dinners and beaches, and probably wines too! Polling day tomorrow. Still don't know which tan to vote. Okay, have a great weekend everyone!

May all of you be blessed with love, happiness and more happiness! =)

Back from Athens & Off to Dubai next

2011-08-21T01:56:00.002+08:00

Athens is beautiful. And I am pretty much looking forward to explore the islands with him next year. Rather excited if you want to say so. Hehe...

Been hanging around with the same people, mostly girls. Haha... Lost the alluring energy I suppose. Maybe no new guys or existing guys are interested in knowing me better anymore. Lol. Oh well, with the occasionally whining and over whelming emotions, I am happy to be where I am now, to be with someone I deem the dearest to heart now.

I am scared too. Especially, when happiness and unhappiness all arise just become of one person. Sleepless nights when we ended the night with unhappy phone calls, cry alone in my room because the days apart grow longer and longer, (probably that sounds really silly and dumb. I am a 27 woman and yet I get so emotional when handling relationships. wake me up please...) Scared of being too needy...

Okay, please tell me I worried too much and I will continue to be bubbly and cheerful. :) Going Dubai for the next 5days. My bag is stored with a lot of food. Am ready to hibernate myself. Go to the gym, read my book (which I have been lacking for very long), and cook! =p Can't wait to come back. For the off days, election voting and the dearest one.

Life maybe isn't always a bed of roses, but I guess I have found that rose, that solely belongs to me, keeping me strong and hopeful for the future.

It's crazy, seriously.

2011-08-19T17:11:00.001+08:00

为什么每个人都那么假？？？

噁心死了！！！

2011-08-16T06:08:00.002+08:00

Hate it especially when things weren't just as what you thought they would be.

Hate it when you were so looking forward in the beginning and then it just wrapped up in a way that you were disappointed once again.

Hate it when you have to go to bed like such.

Hate it, totally.

Colourless

2011-08-05T00:51:00.002+08:00

For once, I boldly dare to post picture of myself not putting a single bit of makeup on my face. All thanks to the man at the back, he always assures me that I still look pretty with or without colour. Haha... I know I may not look the best out there, but I definitely feel confident and happy just being myself, no mask on, no cover up, agreeing that sometimes flaws can be a beauty too, and most importantly, with him around to seal away my imperfection without any colour. =)

Heading to Seoul in a few hours time. Another 8days away. August is such a packed and busy month. Let's hope everything is good and I will come home in no time.

Meanwhile, please take care all! :p

Fra with batchgirls

2011-08-01T06:38:00.002+08:00

Love doing flights with batchgirls, sharing pizza, pasta, spinach mushrooms and pork chop together. Having coffee and sinful desserts by the cafe, people watching and talking about random topics such as the best way to kill a flying mosquito. Lol... Eating takeaway chinese food in my room, sharing insightful advices about love, relationships and people of your life.

Gonna surf the net for awhile and then head to bed. Buying my new cargo bag later! And my favorite yogurtS! Hehe... Good night peeps! :p

The mixed feelings...

2011-07-30T18:35:00.003+08:00

I hope history never repeats.

Never.

Just that sometimes it just feels so familiar that it makes me kind of worried.

As much as how uncertain the future may deem to be, I am secretly desiring you giving me our definition of certainty.

On a lighter note, it's Frankfurt tonight with Batchgirls Cin Cin and Pammy!!!
:)

been awhile...

2011-07-26T22:39:00.003+08:00

It has been quite awhile. I just came back from a really long flight this morning. Both Moscow and Houston have been crazily hot. But we managed to take a 1.5hours of cruise in Moscow, enjoying the hard to come by Summer scenery cos Moscow has always been cold whenever I visit, caught a circus play in Moscow, and wish they could have been a little kinder to those poor animals, did a little bit of shopping in Houston (more so for other people), and solved my long time IHop craving... Hehe...

You know it's incredibly delightful when I got to change to the flight. The amount of smses sent, monetary terms involved and all other hassles. No doubt being able to stay together for 9days was good, but getting along and being accommodating and forgiving towards each other's flaws and habits was a test. I know all my short comings. I get upset with stuffs that maybe other didn't agree or probably he also didn't agree. Maybe things I deem are important aren't seem that important to others and you, and vice versa. Seeing things from where each other is coming from perhaps aren't that easy after all huh..

Words that may have blurted out, without much thoughts could have been the real thing that the other party is feeling. Even when sorry always come in. Walking a journey together, embracing the storms that may come our way. I suddenly feel a little helpless.

May god lead me the way.

;)

One more Jakarta tomorrow and I finally get to rest for 2days.

Yay. :)

Back from Hong Kong

2011-07-16T01:36:00.002+08:00

Back from Hong Kong, but am lazy to blog anything. *lol*...

Hope your week has been great.

Taking a little break from the cyber writing life, and I promise I will be back real soon. :)

2011-07-08T01:26:00.001+08:00

A strange sleepless night, totally. It was that uncomfortable. :(

On a lighter note, holidays with the girls is just a day away.

Everything will be fine!

Saying a little prayer...

getting boring

2011-07-05T03:37:00.004+08:00

It's getting boring here...

So, I picked a random picture taken when I was in London 2 weeks ago. Hehe...

Off to Sydney next and then to my well-deserved holidays! Mixed feelings though but aiyah, heck! It so gonna be fun with all the shopping and eating, and also not forgetting the cam whoring!

Wanna book my tickets for Transformers before they are sold out!

And then to snooze. I better... Heh.

Good night loves. :)

Paris tonight!

2011-06-28T19:15:00.003+08:00

Heading to Paris tonight, alone. Yes, months ago when I last went, it was with the other half. Putting up in a new hotel this time round. I heard it's a relatively small boutique hotel, the company is really cutting costs huh?

Hope he get well soon. It's like almost every time, either one of us will definitely get into some sort of "trouble". Is it a sign? Or is it just coincidence? Or is it I am still thinking too much?

Shall get off to prepare for work.

I shall continue to pray for good flights, good things to happen, happy mood, and the well-beings for all the loved ones! :)

Dreams

2011-06-27T00:03:00.002+08:00

Am super thankful for the 4 off days after London, cos the standby wasn't activated and my rest was prolonged. Hehe... Weekend was spent lazing around, mostly sleeping, watching TV, eating at irregular intervals, and cycling at east coast park on the Sunday evening on a 2-men operation bike. :p I should really pluck up on that.

Eye is recovering so it's back to work again tomorrow.

Looking back on days when I was so self-centred, most of the times wanted things my way and till today, this moment, I see myself again, I actually give people a chance to talk before I comment, I listen before I flare up, I think twice before a tantrum, I go makeup-less because someone says I still look pretty like that, I don't have to be always in fancy tops and belts and sandals and I look perfectly fine in tees and birkies. I can be me without pretending.

Thank you...:)

Maybe....dreams do come true.

2011-06-25T02:08:00.002+08:00

Memories are such powerful weapons. They can either linger the good side with you, or haunt you right from the deepest corner in your heart.

Anyway, eye infection is confirmed. Oh gross... Have to go makeup-less for the next few days. Praying hard that my standby is safe from activation.

2 more weeks to holidays! *claps!* :p

Hello!

2011-06-24T03:05:00.003+08:00

Hello everybody!!
:)

How's everyone doing? I just came back fr london a day ago. Had quite a bit of shopping in London and I just got a shock after checking my credit card bills online. Anyway, life has been good. Being able to eat, live, love and laugh. Lol... Caught the musical play "Wicked" in London and it was really good. Kind of tempted to pop by Kinokuniya tomorrow to get the book. Hehe...

Alright, I better snooze. My eyes are swollen. Which means... no eyelashes and eyeliner for me till recovery. That's so sad... :/ Hope miracle happens when I wake up later.

Good night people. I pray for sweet dreams for everyone. (=

a paragraph of faith

2011-06-18T01:36:00.002+08:00

I seem to have lost the momentum to blog down my thoughts, in which I used to do very often in the past. Skipping the details, my daily life has been pretty much the same. Watching movies, having steamboat, eating ice cream, patronizing hawker food during off days, and still living my life in a suitcase, comfortably though but am slowly losing the passion, which I don't know if the passion can ever be recovered back.

Heading over to London for a couple of days. Haven't been there for almost 6months. Should be expecting summer sales I hope. Lol... Am quite contented currently, at this moment. Gratuity and bonus coming in$$$, Hong Kong holidays in less than a month time, and still very much in love with the same person. :) Promises though not given, the future still uncertain, the picture is still blurred, I am letting god to lead me the way, to a path that is meant to be my fate.

Good night ^^

serendipity

2011-06-12T15:45:00.003+08:00

I was randomly browsing through photos in my lappy and I so happened to chance upon this beautiful picture, snapped from Phuket, the masterpiece by Mr Lau. The sky is clear, the water is so blue, the scenery is breathe-taking, and the couple completed the picture. The kind of serendipity, I want to visit the place with you one day, just the two of us, standing at the same spot, overlooking the clear blue sky and sea, with the warmth of the sun shining at us. :)

Off to work again. This time to Auckland. Am dreading quite a bit. Will be back 4days later. So, take care all! Half of the year has gone. We still have 6 more months to make things in our life a little more perfect than previous, before a new year comes again. So, embrace and all...for the best only. :)

Love.

Back to reality

2011-06-07T21:57:00.003+08:00

End of aalv. It's back to work now. Heading off to Melbourne. Had the most delicious cheesecake ever. Not cos it's all the way from New York, it's cos it's from him. :) May god bless the boy. Hope he gets well soon.

Reaching airport...:p Cya!

AALV :p

2011-06-04T02:31:00.004+08:00

Enjoying my few days of leaves though not going anywhere. No red nails, no heavy make up, don't have to put on that pretentious mask. Just sleep, eat, run my errands, meet my friends, go for tea and desserts, jogging(which I have been lackng), and rethink what I want to do next. There must be somewhere somehow at a point of time, I should move on. Move on to something out of the comfort zone.

Getting news that many friends are getting married. And am especially excited for a very good friend from my poly days that she is tying the knots too. Korea wedding photo shoot, Cartier wedding band, and her walk-in wardrobe! Pretty much like a fairytale comes true. Hehe...

Not easy to find the ONE that you want to spend the rest of your life with. I used to have found mine, but it wasn't exactly mutual eventually, so I lost it in the end. I think I no longer believe in the ONE anymore. It is more like if you can accept and accommodate the person for his temper, flaws, the goods, the not so goods, and spent the next 50 years or more of your life together. :) Sound like it. =)

One more month to official holidays! *yay!* :p

milano affair~

2011-06-02T01:17:00.003+08:00

Leaving for Milan

2011-05-27T18:08:00.004+08:00

Leaving for Milan tonight. Haven't been there for a crazy long time. And strangely, I haven't really been looking forward to it actually. Is it cos the other half isn't visiting the Italian town with me? Or is it cos I have somehow or rather, lost the passion of having the sky as my playground?

Nonetheless, am pretty much looking forward to coming home, with the few days of leaves thereafter in Singapore, going to finalise my US Visa, meet up with friends for drinks and meals, and revamp my messy room, while waiting for the other half to come home after his last New York flight.

Many of times, I find ourselves not always moving in the same direction and not always agreeing on the same answer, and yet I still want to fall for you.

Love is such crazily strange. :)

Anyway, may judgement day, brings good news. =)

Hehehe...

Joyous... :p

for once!

2011-05-26T02:13:00.002+08:00

Mr Sia is kind for once! Haha.

I am super bored.

Want to go out gai gai but the weather is torturing. One moment scouting hot sun, one moment raining with thunderstorms.

Want to go out on a proper date, and yet I find no date. Lol...

Should just get a life soon, or rather, make new friends. Hehe..

Okay, time for a little bit of reading and then to bed. Say Hello to another new contract with Mr Sia! :)

872

2011-05-24T19:40:00.002+08:00

How time flies!! It has been 5 years! :) May we have many many good flights in time to come, and for those who are staying, may they turn into ninja turtle soon! :p

A grateful thought...

2011-05-19T22:40:00.004+08:00

Back from Sydney, with errands to run tomorrow and then off to stay a night in Jakarta on Saturday. And then, the 5th birthday of Batch 872!:) It felt almost like yesterday... How time flies huh?

I should be thankful for where I am now. Having a comfortable job that provides me with the ability to enjoy slightly above average life, see the world like almost every girl's childhood dream, meeting people who fill up the gaps of my life.

Sometimes I find myself searching high and low for the right people to love me and to throw attention to me, and then to realise to a point that I actually don't have to do that. If they love you, they love you. If they care, they care from within. I feel more relieved somehow having this thought running through my mind. Am 27 and still a very long journey ahead. People I am going to meet, a new job perhaps in time to come, the dream guy I am going to marry, having my own house, starting my own family and be grateful for my past for they brought me to who I become. :)

Can't wait for May and June to be over. I am taking a little break in July, and perhaps also a good time to think what's next in life. :)

2011-05-16T19:21:00.002+08:00

Love is even when you only have that amount of time together, you still think it's heaven. (=

happy food

2011-05-15T00:22:00.003+08:00

When you have nothing to do, you just eat. And eating often makes people like me, really happy. :p

Steamboat hotpot in Hong Kong. I especially love the QQ instant noodle. *slurp*

Ginseng BBQ chicken. Dinner with Ling at this newly open restaurant at Kovan. And the meat came with 2 side dishes of your choice. I chose the seasonal vegetables and olive rice. Hehe..

"Wu Xiang" and sugarcane drink at People Park's Complex Food Centre. Sometimes cheap hawker food like these tastes even better than those big restaurants.!!

I went for massage earlier on. My stiff neck and shoulder are both giving way. I was in pain for good whole 40min. The uncle exerted so much pressure on my back that I almost teared and thought it so gonna break. Now, my back came home with a big patch of blue black. Hope I will feel the result of the massage tomorrow.

In need for some serious running badly. If the back doesn't hurt tomorrow and it doesn't rain, I shall get the movement going. *keep fingers crossed* Am so craving for movies and pop corns too. Let's see who else is around... Hehe...

And I can't help it but to keep replaying this wedding video. This is so awfully sweet. The song that accompanies, is super ultra love. :)

coming home!

2011-05-12T01:00:00.003+08:00

Waking up in 3hours time and I still can't get myself to sleep. Shopping in Hong Kong was great. I bought many many pairs of shoes! Haha...

Hong Kong and San Francisco isn't a flight that you can do often. Your waistline will just grow side way and your pockets will just keep burning holes. *laugh*

Heading back to Singapore. Everybody back home is telling me about how hot Singapore is now. Have been away since before the voting day. Really looking forward to coming back, especially when you know you are going to hang out with your favorite people over the weekend. :)

At least, there are people who still have the urge to see me.

Thank you.

I so need that.

the HKG's note.

2011-05-11T01:57:00.003+08:00

Hong Kong is blasting crowded with people and vehicles. Had a good whole evening having steamboat, drinking bubble tea, shopping and eating dessert. And yet eager looking forward to return to hotel and talk to him before I sleep. It's like after weeks of struggling with books and notes, I can officially talk to him for MORE than 5 minutes on the phone again. The tiredness that was so understandable, so do I, after moving from one gmt to another gmt all over again. I thought we could end the night on a sweet note.

Then...

I realise I am so far far far far away from perfection. I was proud. I was arrogant. I thought I would be the only girl who understands him. Tonight, I realise I am too over-confident. I thought I was very smart. I thought I know how to make everything works. But I forgot, what I want, may not be what he wants after all.

And I begin to ponder, if our shoulders are really meant for each other to lean on.

Good Night Hong Kong. I am going to sleep now. Waking up for dim sum. :)

One more day and I am coming home... :)

Yoppi

2011-05-09T07:17:00.004+08:00

Decided to have Yoppi Frozen Yogurt instead of Cold Stone. It tasted extremely yummy too, with all the toppings I added like lychees, strawberries, raspberries, and mochi. Satisfied! :p

And oh I bought a new pair of running shoes. Can't wait to do more jogging and tone my flabby arms and thighs. Can't wait to go night-run with the boy. :)

Alright, time to nap. Have a really long flight to operate back to Hong Kong later.
Ciao!

SFO

2011-05-08T20:08:00.002+08:00

San Francisco is still as beautiful and windy. The Cheesecake Factory, Chinatown and the heavenly shopping streets. Bought tonics, and a couple of shopping loots. I spotted Cold Stone just now and it's just next to the hotel. Not like the one in Singapore which is always so crowded and long queue, I am so going to savour it later. Hehe. Heading back to bed again. My sleeping patten in States is always in intervals. Can't really sleep a full 8 hours. Just painted nails, and mask-ed. Waking up to a nice Sunday morning later. :)

AND...all the best to the upcoming First World Parliament, as promised I suppose. We shall see how our future will change, and how our life gets better, hopefully... =)

Afternoon in HKG

2011-05-06T15:34:00.002+08:00

One afternoon in Hong Kong....

Embracing good weather, enjoying probably the best and smoothest soya bean curd that you can ever find, sighting at how freshly baked egg tarts look like just baking hot out from the oven, and of course to end it with the famous dessert store, xiu liu shan. :p

En routing to San Francisco later. Gonna miss the every 5 years big affair of Singapore. To all voters, please vote wisely. *giggle* I will be keeping myself updated with the news and results through the web. :)

2011-05-05T13:33:00.000+08:00

我。。。脑袋装了什么啊？

正在反思。

希望这八天会很愉快。

工作会非常顺利。

没有小人。

哈哈哈哈。。。

someone I want to annoy...

2011-05-05T03:19:00.003+08:00

What happened when people have to keep turning to your blog to find out answers about your thoughts? But am still glad that I have found someone who apparently reads me, know me almost inside out, my blog's number 1 fan, someone who I can still pour my heart and lungs out even till today, someone whom I want to annoy for the rest of my life.

I am not sure what lies ahead. The road is long and probably may not always be smooth. Thank you for the reassurance that cures my uncertainties. And you are absolutely right, I will blog a bit before I zzzz. Lol.

Till then! Ciao... =)

obligation?

2011-05-04T04:46:00.002+08:00

Is it out of own will, good faith or has it unknowingly became an obligation? Oh well...

On another note, I just had one of the not so fantastic check during work. Didn't really feel very justified but hack la...

Life is getting challenging isn't it? Work, love, the environment you are living in. Continue to embrace, belle!

Till I wake up... Good luck to all the students having their stressful exams now. ESP my brother and mr Lau. (:
Please look forward to all the play and fun after the exams. Going to be over soon...:)
Eyes closing.. :p

focus

2011-05-04T02:27:00.004+08:00

Hello... I was trying to pack my clothes and stuffs for Hong Kong and San Francisco, to the minimum so that more shopping can fit in. Haha... The friend in SFO was saying it's still cold in the night, but I really can't be bothered. Moreover, we will be in his car. So am pretty hopeful that the trip will be fruitful and happy. :)

Sometimes you just need to find something else for you to focus on rather than narrowing your attention to only those things and people who are deemed to be in your life for the moment. What if things are gone and people leave? You will be left with minimum, but heavy burden of emotions. I should have known better. Been there done that. Would never allow myself to sink into a bottomless hole again. On a random note again. Lol. Just thought, I should be kinder to myself, be a little selfish, and think more to my own benefits. Ha..

And I got new DVD from Shanghai! Heh. Something to dwell on when you are away for 8days and all alone in the room. Hee... Alright, I shall head back to the last bit of packing. Actually there isn't a need for me to pack so early, just cos initially I thought I would have a whole day of agenda on Wednesday to fill my day and night with from the early start of the day. Change of plan, probably good too. Catch up on sleep and reading, and my self-alone time. Perfect... :)

Good night! =)

May

2011-05-01T17:11:00.003+08:00

Off to Shanghai tonight. Been almost 2 years since I last visited China. Hope the first day of May starts off right for everyone. It's a decision making month, with the polling day drawing nearer, rallies are held almost everyday now at open fields and stadiums, attracting Singaporeans to hear what plans the potential leaders have for us in the near future. This election seems exciting, but I won't be participating. Will be keeping myself updated through web and media when I am in San Francisco. Hope the pool of people who will be leading our country in the next 5 years will bring us greater qualities of life and improved policies that make Singapore a friendly country to stay in. :)

And to love, though still with occasionally annoying acts (*LAugh*), I am still feeling...

Lucky to have been where I have been.

Totally. :)

Enjoy Labour Day and the holiday tomorrow, for most people. Heh.

Cheers.

April

2011-04-27T17:20:00.003+08:00

Hi. April hasn't been the best month, till now. Nonetheless, it was still quite eventful. Touring Switzerland (Zurich) with Mr Lau, City Plaza shopping with the girls, my first time savouring Arnold's Fried Chicken, 8days of work trip to Frankfurt and The Big Apple without Mr Lau, discovering how "ugly and shallow" some colleagues can be, understanding not everyone gives me the nod and blessing which I thought it doesn't matter anymore because I have gotten what I want :), Korean BBQ and Cold Stone ice cream with the girls, time spent together with Mr Lau, late night supper, notes-copying, standbys and more standbys, calling me up for random flights, but they coincidentally coincide with the same off days as Mr Lau, trying to give away flights for off days and till now to no avail, planning the July holidays with best friend, and the list just keeps going, and probably it's going to flow over to May.

I understand life isn't always rainbows and sunshine. As a human being, I obviously want to hear things I want to hear. But how often that's the case? Perhaps I am not mum and dad's favorite kid, not the most well-liked employee in my company, not the good friend among my different groups of friends and acquintances, not his greatest love, not an angel in this big big planet. I am still thankful for being where I am, who I am and and what I have today. Curbing emotions is a challenge, and sometimes I wonder should my life and future be led logically and or be decided by the heart?

Heading to Narita for 3days and be back for the weekend. Hope it's safe... I am still excited about Japan. The shopping and groceries! Hehe. Am positioning tonight, Ha, I can watch a movie!

Stay lovely and positive peeps. It's all in the mind. :)

2011-04-23T17:32:00.002+08:00

Was reading through some past stuffs and memories, recalling incidents that took place, and I start to wonder why did I take so long to realise it was you? Genuine blessings, not so genuine blessings, the honesty words and advices from best friends, good friends, the people who think it's going to work, and also there are people around us who think the unity of us two is just a passing phrase of our life.

But heck la... I super like how's things are now. It's my story. :p

心不在焉

2011-04-23T04:14:00.004+08:00

One best friend said, "you are always on whatsapp/phone when you are out with us. it's like your body is here but your soul is somewhere else. People called it "心不在焉". but compared to last time it's so much better now. at least now you still come out to meet us and we still see you... last time when you were with mr lim you just totally disappeared. now with mr lau, though you "心不在焉", at least your body is now here with us! Haha..."

I ponder........

good friday

2011-04-22T12:37:00.003+08:00

Called up Melbourne tomorrow and disrupted my own rostered Melbourne on Monday. Then it's standby again and the snowballing continues.. What the hell... Was browsing through the list of working colleagues for tomorrow flight and ahah.. so much so for all the familiar names, practically more than 10 people I know, some likeable, some not so likeable, some you haven seen or talk for ages, some you are hoping you won't have to see them again, and probably who knows some may think likewise about me as well. Lol..

The most ironical part, the boy is going there a day earlier before me and probably it's like what some other people say, the mixed feeling that is struggling right within, when he returns and I am leaving, for the same destination.

What lies ahead? Keep going, belle.

24 hours love

2011-04-21T22:36:00.003+08:00

I love being in around in Singapore, surrounded by familiar faces, spending times with loved ones, even if it's meant watching tv and chit-chatting over random stuffs like how smart my cousin is cos he got a scholarship to the U.S., how my 5th aunt keep boasting about her 2 daughters, the chicken rice went up by 50 cents, and the vegetable seller from the market forgot about her cucumbers, (and yes, that's my mum..hehe..)

And not forgetting the boy I haven't met for many days, and his awesome family members. We had 24hours and I can't help but yearning for more. No, no.. I shouldn't be so greedy. Less is more. :)

It's Good Friday tomorrow and so happened, I am not working! Hehe.. Have a great long weekend everybody!

Love.

all at one time

2011-04-18T01:34:00.002+08:00

All bad things come at one time, altogether. Which make you speechless sometimes, don't know who to confide to, whose shoulder is reliable for you to cry on, who can protect you, who can make you feel better.

Suddenly super miss my parents. I want to call and listen to their voices but it's like so late now in Singapore. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. They are the only persons in the world whom I know they will love me wholeheartedly even when I grow uglier, fatter, unlikeable and irritating. Haha... Thank you for such love my 2 dearest!

a long tiring day

2011-04-16T11:12:00.004+08:00

Had a really long tiring day being a New Yorker. Breakfast, bumping into a friend, shopping and more shopping, non stop walking, with lots of tiny adventure episodes along the way, ate my magnolia bakery red velvet cupcake, bought my banana pudding and chicken over rice. My legs almost broke and they are still aching now. I seriously need a full body plus leg massage like very badly! *hinting to mr lau... *cover mouth and giggle*

And today's weather was crazy. It was colder, like very much colder.?

Oh well...
Can't wait go come home. Am missing home terribly

New York

2011-04-15T16:17:00.005+08:00

How is everyone doing? Has the week been going on well? I am in New York now, comfortably on my bed, waking up in awhile for breakfast and then shopping! Haha.. The weather is kind, so far. Very nice and comfortable temperature that you only need to walk from streets to streets, avenues to avenues in your light jacket, without screaming cold like how I used to in Jan when I was here.

Checking in I went for burger, chili cheese fries and milkshake. I took photo of the food using my camera, am really lazy to reach for the camera right... *lol*... will post it up probably later part of the day or another time.
Hehe..

After lunch, I went shopping at Victoria's Secrets for a friend's stuffs, then I started roaming around 5th Avenue for a while...

The shopping loots...

The Men's collection...

Sundress... I bought another similar one in pink but by then I was so sleepy, so I didn't put it on and snap picture of it. :)

Last but not least, my latest new spurge in Frankfurt....

A pink miu miu bow bag. :)

How love. *joyful!*

Going back for more sleep now before starting the day, right. Heh.

So take care all!

thank you jazzy

2011-04-12T00:30:00.005+08:00

As much as I say taking public transport is so convenient in Singapore, I seriously think I can't live without a car. I was running errands the whole day from the late morning till evening time. I travelled from East to Central, from Central one destination to another destination, then to North East. Lunch was breads, pancake and soya bean milk I bought at Paragon and they were consumed when I was driving from one place to another. Not meeting boyfriend and friends, and the whole day I was just by myself but a lot was accomplished. Get my brows and nails done, (the nails took the longest time, like 2.5hours?), had quick lunch, went to the cobbler, submitted and collected some documents from training centre, took photo for US VISA, went to the money changer, shopped for my necessities, bought my tom yum cup noodles and pocky strawberry sticks, dabao-ed dinner.... What to do without my little jazzy? :p

What a day... Haha..

Was skyping earlier on with the dear one. Realised our rosters were clashed to the max and it's actually kind of disappointing. Maybe I should just make use of these times off to do more reading which I have been lacking, exercise more and meet up with others whom I haven't been catching up with. We will still be fine, I suppose. =) Leaving for Frankfurt New York for a good 8days, I hope it's all good. :)

I was hungry and I snacked on my strawberry muesli with milk. Hehe... Pretty much really for bed now. Have a lovely week ahead peeps. Embrace all the challenges that you may face along the way, they may be tough, but trust yourselves that somehow or rather no matter how difficult a situation can be, it will eventually find its way. :)

the weekend

2011-04-11T03:40:00.003+08:00

Off days were spent roaming Ikea, eating the classic all time favorite meatballs from the Ikea restaurant, stuffing ourselves with other sides like fish nuggets, cheese nuggets, chicken wings, fries and free flow of ice lemon tea!

Playing with baby and catching up with old friends...

And after a super early morning Bangkok turn on Sunday morning, despite the tiredness I went to catch a movie at AMK. It was quite a good show. Lots of thrill and suspense and blood.

My eyes are closing. It took me longer than usual to type this entry. I can't think anymore. My brain is officially shut off. Need to wake up early to run errands before I leave for a 8days work trip. So good night everyone. I hope your weekend was good!

A Letter to Myself

2011-04-08T18:26:00.003+08:00

When you find yourself struggling with words, you begin to ask yourself how long is this situation going to last? Holding on to your calm, thinking before speaking a word, so that you won't create a stir out of no where. Train your own emotions so that they react logically and not chemically emotionally. (If there is such a word. Ha..)

You find yourself losing patience, losing endurance and the worst thing that anyone in a relationship will ever want to lose, love. The passion to love each other over again and again and again, the way to manage the relationship, the perseverance and tolerance levels to accept each other's shortcomings and flaws. I guess it's just in every relationship. It's not the first time you get all these vibes. You have been through the worst remember?

When you are dying wanting to see the person but you felt it wasn't reciprocate. When you thought you are actually missing the person when you have just seen each other the day before. When you have so much to say but you just find yourself shallow back your words.

Don't let emotions lead you anymore.

Jia you!

A Letter to Myself.

The Zurich's Journey again

2011-04-08T02:39:00.003+08:00

We had a long walk along the river/lake and trees before reaching The Rhine Falls. It was quiet, peaceful, no disturbance, and made you feel at ease. And most of the times, we were spent taking pictures, with poses like the above. *grin*

That's how beautiful the waterfall is. (=

We spotted someone lying down by the lake. So relaxing and I insisted Mr Lau to capture this image. Hehe..

One day, some times down the road, I will come back to you again. :)

Love.

food excitement

2011-04-08T02:20:00.001+08:00

Even the boy gets excited when he sees food. So do I. :)

From our Zurich's journey.

Rhinefall

2011-04-06T03:10:00.003+08:00

We visited Rhinefall, the biggest waterfall in Europe. The view was breath-taking, the weather was good, and it almost felt like another mini holiday trip with the love again. :)

Will be back for more. Zurich.

Some kind of Wonderful

2011-04-03T17:07:00.003+08:00

Don't remember the clothes I wear, don't tell me earlier the time to meet and then I am late, don't tell me earlier when and where to turn when I am driving and then we missed the turn, and my whining of many many other stuffs, and of course the "bu shuang-ness" that I always show. But yet you take ALL of my nonsenses. Why?

"Now every time my little world seems blue

I just have to look at you.

And everything seems to be

Some kind of Wonderful"

Time to snooze before getting up for dinner. Late night work trip later to Zurich, and of course with the favorite. :)

life plans

2011-04-02T01:19:00.003+08:00

Do our life plans and priorities change as the days go? Maybe they do, and subconsciously we allow ourselves to set in anxiety.

Just a random thought. Ha...

Just cleared my 2days of recurrent training. Always detest going back to the training centre, especially the oily smell of the canteen that stinks you immediately when you step into it. It's weekend, heading off to Zurich on Sunday night. It's like all about work, home, work, home. Feel like taking up something and make myself useful. *giggle*

Alright, enjoy April peeps. Time is passing so fast that we realise we actually have so many tasks unaccomplished. Let's work on those, stay positive and take care all! :)

some sort of celebration

2011-03-31T08:21:00.002+08:00

We had some sort of celebration for his hatch day.

Hehe...

Alright, I gotta run to shower and get ready to go back to training centre. Sian... today must jump water! Roar!!

Okay, till again...and have a great day ahead!:)

Fruitful

2011-03-28T00:07:00.004+08:00

Just came back from a 8days work trip. A fruitful one I would say. The crazy change of flight pattern due to the Japan's unfortunate event lately, a nice set of working colleagues though, drink, fun, eat, went to Kyoto to explore, wish I could have stayed a night over there, and the most awesome part, another chapter of memories created again with Mr Lau. He pissed me off at times, and I believe I irritated him off at times too with my questionable tantrums...(LOL...), but in the end, it just makes us stronger I guess.

It definitely feels good to be home after so many days. Miss my Mummy's non stop talking and my Daddy's non stop bragging. I didn't know sometimes familiar noise can be such a bliss. Haha...

2011-03-21T12:05:00.002+08:00

When complacency sets in, you find yourself losing temper over every small little things.

For good or for bad, I believe god will lead us the way.

Jpot-ing.

2011-03-18T12:34:00.003+08:00

Has a fulfilling dinner at Jpot with the good friends yesterday.

Good food, good friends, boyfriend, good weather, actually happiness is that simple. An happy anecdote or equation that you comes out on your own, the happiness that belongs to you only, the happiness that screams bliss. :) You know what's best for you. :)

What else can we ask for?

Off to shower and prepare for work.
Ciao loves.!!

2011-03-16T02:13:00.003+08:00

Was at the library. Acting studious, waiting for the old man. :p

Denpasar turn tomorrow. Some people are saying "why aren't you meeting new people and why aren't other guys asking you out?" Often speechless, maybe I am nonchalant to surrounding, to people, and people don't find you that "valuable" or "interesting" when you are taken. Lol.

Okay whatever. Haha..

fra with piggy

2011-03-11T04:41:00.002+08:00

Frankfurt without Mr Lau... it was a little boring... No one to cam-whore and do crazy things with me... No one to keep me company through the nights... but at least Mr Piggy is with me. :p

Wasn't feeling very well at work just now. Thank god it's getting better now, no headache, no body aching but the stomach is stirring. Don't know what's up with the body these 2 days. Off to a well deserved good night sleep, then wake up to a brand new day to start everything afresh!

2011-03-09T19:04:00.002+08:00

All of a sudden, the syndromes all come together. Whole body aching, slight fever, nauseous. After panadol, Mum's winter melon soup, Mum rubbing my back with medicated oil to make me perspire, I think for now I feel slightly better. Am perspiring and I finished the soup. It's a good sign. Heh. Off to prepare for work! Ciao!

Understanding

2011-03-09T14:09:00.003+08:00

Feel March isn't as easy and smooth like February. But yeah, it's just the beginning. Am pretty certain, we will find our way out somehow, and leave behind good memories. Am that positive. :)

I saw a friend (a guy) wrote the following quote in his facebook's status...

If you're busy with your things, I'll understand.
If you don't have time for me, I'll understand.
If you're full with your past, I'll understand.
But one day if i stop loving you, it's your turn to understand.

Like WOW... Haha...I guess in life it's easy to say you will understand each other but maybe perhaps you don't realise being understanding require double of the efforts that you thought you need. It's easy to say than to be done. Many of the times, you thought you are already being understanding, but you whine unknowingly, behave like a kid at times to get attention, throwing tempers on your face and tone even though you still very much try to act you are okay, you are composed, you are the most understanding human being people can find in the universe, you rant to friends about how belittled you felt at times and the struggle inside yourself.

I guess everything in life, has a reason why it happened now and not then, why it happened then and not now. If everything is so smooth and sailing, you may not appreciate and treasure things and people in life as much. Challenges are thrown at us, and solutions and fate are all decided by ourselves. I am not afraid of things that are going to happen. I am not regretful of things that I have done. I am more concerned of what I could have done and have not done. However, people always say too much worries boil everything down to zero. Embracing the current challenges in life will definitely do us good in the near future.

I can definitely do better.

Am so looking forward. :)

2011-03-09T03:32:00.002+08:00

Clothes, shoes, makeup, a new book, all packed for work. :)

P.S. People who still love me when I am not so lovable, thank you. :)

*yawns* Off to my good night sleep. Maybe I will dream of the beach, the stars, you and the Mac's breakfast. :p

2011-03-08T23:57:00.002+08:00

Off to Frankfurt again tomorrow night, but this time without him. *sigh* It's somehow ironical how we managed to do so many flights together consecutively, spending more time overseas than back in Singapore together, strange how we thought everything was so perfect and we were both so happily in love, and then when we have to fly solo, lesser time to meet, and many other agendas that come in between us, we created tension, misunderstandings and me especially, finding myself flare up unintentionally over trivial matters. I am that silly huh.

Hope he fare well for all the upcoming tests, and hope I can do better as someone's girlfriend.

Good night loves! =)

2011-03-05T15:04:00.001+08:00

I didn't exactly realise this photo is actually a bliss, until people start to "like" it. Hehehe...

*grin*

2011-03-05T14:20:00.003+08:00

Life is such that sometimes we have emotions that are unexplainable or ridiculously foolish. Happy cos you get flowers. Sad cos you never get the replies you want. Pissed cos people act stupid or they under justified your intentions. Thankful cos of all the blessings and little acts that people show they care. Overjoy cos you know you are still in love.

"Think before you decide to get angry or upset." So I listen. I absorb the good intention. I shallow and hold back my emotions, put on that Audrey Hepburn's smile from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I think I am so good at it. :)

:p

2011-03-05T11:48:00.001+08:00

Ultra love. :p

a crazy good Feb

2011-03-04T15:28:00.003+08:00

I am so physically jaded. Thus, am super thankful for the off days in town over the weekend. I hope Christchurch is really safe now. Safe enough for our planes to fly and lay over, safe enough for the boy to fly and come back home on time.

February has been a crazily good month. So many things happened and wonderful memories created within the 28days. I believe March will be a good month too, with my Tokyo Los Angeles to look forward to, eat my favorite japanese food, drink my favorite matcha latte, disney fun and the off days thereafter. =)

Friday night with the girls should be fun. Drinking wine, potlucking and playing wii. *beam*

Have a great weekend my friends and loved ones!

p.s. I super HEART my G12. :p

Belle and her new G12... (=

Coffee-lover...

Pink roses to delight...

The crazy company that I love... :p

Surprise

2011-03-02T15:30:00.002+08:00

Surprise always comes in when you least expected it. The pink roses were amazingly beautiful, just nice for the birthday. =) All thanks to the sweet guy beside me. Hehe... Am in Frankfurt now. Heading for yummylicious buffet breakfast in half an hour time.

There was a saying...
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you are just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, that's her..."

Well, random thought in the morning. :p

2011-02-28T19:04:00.000+08:00

觉得很幸福. :)

wishes

2011-02-28T10:16:00.003+08:00

Received so many overwhelming birthday wishes from friends, but yet from the most important one. *roll eyes* *laugh* I want to thank you everyone for remembering. Life has been such a blessing. *wide grin*

Gonna pack for work tonight. Am off to Frankfurt, and back for the weekend. Have a great start of the week people. February is short, but yet it's still so beautiful, with so many lasting memories to linger about. Hehe.

Take care, and loves. =)

a tad emotional

2011-02-28T04:38:00.004+08:00

Nothing beats seeing the loved one after work, eating supper, playing with the swings, enjoying the sea breeze and watching aeroplanes, together. :)

But I get a tad emotional lately. Getting upset over unnecessary stuffs, and getting overly excited and happy over the slightest thing. I thought I just sounded agitated and pissed off over the phone. Made me feel like a spoilt princess throwing tantrums. Why am I so uptight about stuffs? Maybe some things are too good to be true and it kind of suppress me. I could do better.

Don't know since when, and when did it all start, that I actually care so much about the new relationship in my life. I pray for guidance and enlightenment from god. I will strive to be a better person.

Thank you.

blissful

2011-02-27T02:34:00.003+08:00

I am happy, like really happy. Good things all fall in places, best pals who are always there, and my other half. :) Not the expensive pressies, not the expensive meals, but being around with all the loved ones make me a blissful and lucky girl. Why is god always ever so kind? Thank you very much. I can't ask for more. :)

Can't help falling in love, all over again.

I just need a little more faith to believe everything is positive, and will continue to be positive. :)

Jakarta turnaround later. Jia you!

to realise...

2011-02-26T06:48:00.004+08:00

I wanted to take a short nap (apparently) after dinner last night before heading out for supper with besties. Who knows, it was 8hours later when I woke up! Alarm didn't wake me up, 147 whatsapps messages (the group chat thing, i somehow hate it because the messages will keep coming in even if it wasn't you talking but you are still in the same group), numerous missed calls, and I still slept like a pig. I seriously want to ROAR to myself. Wasted the Friday night away. *sigh* But.... I am so looking forward to next Friday already. Hehe... :p

I had a really long and tiring day at work and it practically drained out all my energy, plus I never slept at all the night before. I am superwoman no more. Getting old and body aching all over, after a sleepless night and a hard day at work. Just hanged up a phone call with a friend, mummy is back from morning's jog, the birds on the trees start chipping, the sky is turning to blue, I am hungry actually, but I guess it's more advisable that I go back to sleep.

I was just thinking, I remember talking about the superstar and the ordinary thingy. And now I realise I was so stupid. The superstar will not shine forever, but I love how the ordinary glows in its own beauty, and how mesmerizing it is in its own shell. And then to realise actually ordinary isn't that ordinary after all. It gives me simple happiness that triggers and still lingers, but most importantly, I find myself getting greedier and keep wanting for more. No limelight, no superstar fame but yet I like it more.

I remember saying I miss being crazily in love, and someone says he doesn't know how to make it up to me for that. I guess it has came back for me now. I have fallen for the ordinary. The ordinary who isn't that ordinary. The ordinary who shines more than the superstar. The ordinary whom my life can't live without now. I only just realised it, and hoping it isn't too late.

completes me

2011-02-25T01:27:00.002+08:00

Many people and YOU always say my entries are very ambiguous. Many of the times it seems like I am referring to a particular someone, and yet I go one big round telling story, but the someone still remains unknown. That is me Yolene Peh. You either love her or you hate her. There is no in between. Haha... =p

On a lighter note, I have met the guy who completes the current me. 3 years of friendship which went through more ups and downs than any other friends together, and only blossomed 2 months ago. You see how much time we have wasted. He was always there but I couldn't see him. He tolerated my nonsense and bad-temper. He never gave up on me even when I almost gave up on myself. He was one of my best friends, and he still is, and always will be. Just that now, love has came in, and it has brought him to a higher importance in my life. :)

And for YOU, I wasn't worried and scared about opening up our new status. I was just being skeptical about how everything is going to work. But now, I want to tell everyone that you are the man of my happy life now. =)

The overwhelming encounter.

2011-02-23T21:45:00.003+08:00

I never fancy Auckland. The timing is totally off for me, and the work load is tiring. But this time it just somehow felt different. I thought I would never feel this way. I always thought being loved more is more fortunate, and this kind of blessing usually lasts longer. And when I begin to feel more attached and emotionally involved, I always have this negative feeling that the happiness will become short-termed. God will take the blessing away from me. It happened like a few times to me before. Every time when I really like something and fall for it, somehow some events have to happen to take it away from me. People may think all these are unnecessary thoughts and worries. But I am pessimistic. I fear the feeling of having strong feeling for something, owning it, and then losing it. So the best solution? To be less hopeful, maybe.

Paris.

2011-02-19T13:40:00.004+08:00

Paris. Basilica Sacre Coeur. Eiffel Tower. Champs Elysees. These words conjure up word images in the heads of thousands of folks who've seen the pictures in glossy magazines, watched the documentaries, and dream of one day visiting Paris.

When I visit the Sacre Coeur, my heart skips a beat when I see this glorious church on a hill atop Montmartre, with winding cobblestoned streets weaving around the hill all the way to the bottom where the textile and fabric district is.

No Chanel. No Miu Miu. No Balenciaga, No LV, but full of accomplishment that I didn't get from my previous Paris trips.

And of course the man who has been taking good care of me for the past few days.

I am quite a cynical person.

I do not know how formulas derive. I do not know how theories and answers explain. I do not know how feelings come together and form many other kinds of feelings. I have an attitude that not many people can tolerate. And yet, love still comes to me. For real or for not, I am still skeptical. Thank you all for the blessings of my current life.

=)

All good things..

Had a short work trip to Melbourne, came back yesterday morning. Minimal rest, and tons of errands to run before the whole series of night activities begin. :p

Had Korean BBQ for dinner, Caught Black Swan, the movie that was captivating, and champagne indulgence at The Lantern located at the roof of The Fullerton Bay Hotel. The view was mesmerising, and was so tempted by the pool at the roof top. And the night came with the sweetest gifts. Pink roses and homemade raspberry cream chocolate cupcakes. =)

I am counting my blessings. As much as how the yearly prediction says 2011 isn't a good year for RAT, I am embracing every little bit of happiness granted to me. Heading off to another work trip tonight. Will be back on the Saturday for dinner with the girlies. :)

Thank you YOU.

February

2011-02-11T02:56:00.005+08:00

I love February actually. It's different from the rest of the months. Or should I say it's special? It has the least numbers of days and yet it's always flustered with a lot of meaningful occasions. Like Valentine's Day, as much as I always deem that it's way super over-rated, more like a day for the florists to make money, it's a worldwide known festive made known in the celebration of love. I remember some years ago, I was in a faraway land. The boyfriend had way given me a disk with a cover that was drawn by him a few days ago before my trip, and wanted me to open the disk only when it's 14. In a GMT-8 time zone, the weather was barely bearable, the wind was strong, but I felt extremely warm in the heart. The PowerPoint slides that I kept playing through the night, and the watch that became my favorite watch then.

Love shouldn't be celebrated only on Valentine's Day. It should be always celebrated because you are in love. Not necessary in monetary terms, but priceless time, efforts and love you are giving to each other. I always have an imagination. 2 lovebirds sipping champagne, eating strawberries and chocolates, cuddling together, enjoying and appreciating the moment of each other. No expensive gifts but something called love that no one else can take away unless one party has given up.

And February is "Fantabulous". Fantastic and Fabulous. It's my birthday month! Yay! Haha... And I am always struggling to add one more year to my age every year. LOL. Oh well... I am thankful to be living till now, aging gracefully I hope (haha..), going after dreams, and being loved.

Very busy month for the next half of February. But... I am kind of looking forward... :)

back from munich!

2011-02-09T09:39:00.003+08:00

Am back from an amazing 6days trip to Munich. It's a beautiful city. I visited BMW museum, castles that spell fairytale, overdosed with mugs and mugs of beer and laughter. Definitely am going back again to explore more. :)

Today is the 7Th day of Chinese New Year and in tradition, it's the birthday of everybody. So Happy Birthday! May life treats us well, grant us with good health, wealth and unlimited happiness. And on our part, let's treasure what god has given to us, and look forward to what's lying ahead of us. =)

Happy CNY

2011-02-04T00:31:00.004+08:00

Happy Lunar New Year!

How was the reunion dinner people?

Mine was simple, a yearly affair with the closed ones over steamboat, and the countdown programme on TV. Then it was nails-painting for mummy, praying for a good year ahead, and late night movie. First day was celebrated with visiting from and to relatives, filled with wishes and greetings and yearly repeated questions like "eh today never fly ah? (in my head, obviously right? if not why am i here??), where is your fav destination?, where is your boyfriend? how old are you liao ah? getting married soon not, so that you can give birth and upgrade your parents' status..." And they went on and on... Haha. But it was all good, for good cause and good reason. :)

I wish I can be around over the weekend, but...it's time to go back to work. Heading off to Munich on Chu Er's night, while most of you get to enjoy the weekend, on my behalf. Lol..

Anyway, may this Rabbit Year brings good health, wealth and happiness to everyone out there. Huat Ah! =p

2011-02-02T01:39:00.002+08:00

A feast with the good friends...

The must needed supper after a Saigon flight...

Boys at work... :p

My childhood fav. sweets...

Sinful indulgence...

Alright, another KL flight later and I am off for the reunion and the first day of Chinese New Year. In a holiday mood, totally... :p Good night, wakie up in 2hours plus time. I still need to drive to work. *yawns* Good thing it will be a short work trip. Hehe.

Love!

a long day

2011-01-29T15:50:00.003+08:00

Had a really long day yesterday. Went for my routine waxing, manicure and pedicure, haircut, colouring and treatment for the Chinese New Year, (LOL..), dinner, ShaoLin movie by Andy Lau. sinful MacDonald's supper! I felt so totally drained out yet accomplished when I finally lied down on my bed this morning at 0530. Haha...

Had been eating quite a bit. Great company over the past 8days with batchboy, we had so much food, wine and desserts together, then plus late night fast food supper, plus the steamboat dinner later and the Korean BBQ tomorrow. I want to go jogging soon. Sometimes I love being overseas. You have all the time to yourself, and the gym is just so conveniently inside the hotel and I can drag my fat big ass and head for an at least good 30min run.

I will be around these few days (not considering those turnarounds) until 2ND day of Chinese New Year and I am off to Munich! Something to look forward to. Hehe... Alright, off to prepare to go out. Have a great weekend! :)

2011-01-26T23:48:00.002+08:00

任性，固执，大小姐，没很多人会喜欢。Thank you to all friends who have been there, taking up my nonsenses at times, tolerating my hot-temper. Till now, 2011 has been great. Lots of fun and of course love. =) Thank you all for contributing, and god will bless us with many many more better months ahead! Finally going home soon! I have enough of the winter cold and I wanna come home to feel the atmosphere of Chinese New Year. Hehe. Till I am back!

This winter

Hi New York

2011-01-25T03:01:00.003+08:00

I had a serious great time with Alex in New York. Breakfast at Alice's Tea Cup, SOHO and Barneys New York for shopping (though we didn't buy anything), Magnolia's cupcake and banana pudding, coffee for the warmth, Japanese dinner and skyping with each other over the net. Cold isn't fun. I kind of detest winter, cos it makes me feel weak all over. But embracing the cold with good friend was fun. No happy buys, no shopping loot, but the amount of laughter and quality time spent together was priceless, makes me ever more contented than I get my expensive pair of shoes or my branded bag. =)

I have a sweet tooth most of the time. Just finish one huge slice of strawberry cheesecake by myself while typing this entry away. Sweet food makes me happy most of the times. Sometimes I unknowingly show my "not so happy" temper through my tone of voice while talking on the phone, my "not so pleased" whatapps messages, throwing the tantrums that only belong to me, and yet trying very hard to suppress it so that I don't flare and look like a crazy woman.

I guess a lot of times it takes a lot of efforts to understand a person who is not standing at your point of view. I should learn to understand logics and rationals behind every complication, and not be an unreasonable and stubborn solo human being who insists on her values. Which is the real me? The one who always tries to accommodate so that everything gets picture perfect? Or the one who laughs as and when she wants, cries as and when she feels like it, flares up because she feels unjustified, holding on to things that she hopelessly desire, and loves because she feels like falling in love?

It's tough decision I guess. It's never easy to find that missing puzzle that completes you. Life is a challenge and I am taking on it. Good luck to me, to us and to the future. It's quite a journey ahead.

Time for a short nap before waking up to prepare for work. Heading back to Frankfurt and be back to Singapore day after. Pictures will be up soon, after I QC all of them from Alex's camera. Hehe.

Love.

Just woke up from a well-needed sleep in the Big Apple. It's freaking minus 8 degrees here. Snow covering the ground, wind blowing your face like you can die anytime, and my flu catching up with me again. It all sounded very negative...but nonetheless, it's New York you know. Despite the extreme weather, upon arriving, we had a good bowl of piping hot ramen at Sapporo, just a few blocks away from the hotel. Then went to roam around Fifth Avenue with the favourite batchboy!

Embracing the cold was a challenge but I had so much fun with him, holding his slim but fit arms (LOL), singing along the streets, laughed out loud at the slightest thing. Haha.. This is fun. :p

It's how strange that I seem to have the "Dear Kelly" face. People( Guys) start coming to me about their personal problems, as if I could provide them some top ten solutions. And it's also how strange some people just ironically reminded you of somebody else. I remembered the secret connection we had. I remembered the feeling he first gave me. I remembered how crazy I had used to feel. But that was then. Most importantly, we are all happy now, though many of times, I seem to feel that I have lost my niche of knowing what I actually want and love. Like what the batchboy said, "you don't know what you want la...." I am still in the process of finding that connection, that urge, and secretly hoping that it will make me want to die for it again. =)

greater moments ahead.

2011-01-20T02:27:00.003+08:00

Off days after Zurich were spent having Chong Qing steamboat, chilling out at City Space at Swiss Hotel with the girls, night talking and suppering with a friend who told me so much about his life, what life should be, and how somehow his conversation amazed me. Then I headed for a really short and tiring work trip to Sydney. With minimum rest, I caught up with friends to celebrate a belated birthday, which was simple, fun and meaningful. :) And then I am heading off to Frankfurt and New York next. This year....has begun well I guess. So much so for what have happened and are happening. =) Let's continue to be hopeful and pray for greater moments ahead!
