Afternoon in HKG

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. :)

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...

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?

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

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

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

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. :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From our Zurich's journey.

:)

Rhinefall

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.

:p
