Living Indulgences

Movies Fanantic..

2009-05-02T01:15:00.001-07:00

Watched quite a few movies recently as I have the time to do so. =)

Went to catch XMEN movie with Ivan 2 days ago.. It wasn't my fav movie as I did not catch the whole series of it. Thus, I was skeptical whether this movie would turn out nice. (was being convinced by Ivan to watch..well..i have no other choice as he was so keen on watching it!)."Its a kind of thriller movie with many encounters with mutants including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated."

I was so engrossed with it that my verdict was: **** rating! must watch!

During the show, Hugh Jackman's body caught my eye when he wore the biker jacket the old man passed to him.

Me: WOw, the guy is freakingly hot!

Ivan: (looking at me with rolled eyes..) erm.. ok

Well, cant blame me cos what attracts me to guys are always their well-bodied figure. haha!!~

This show is really soo nice that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! Its a story about a father putting himself at risk in saving his estranged daughter who is being kidnapped by a gang.

This show sparks my feelings for how much love a father would have for his own daughter.. For me, my relationship with my father wasn't exactly close so I was moved to tears by this movie.. I would encouraged everyone to watch it! Its definitely worth the $$! Highly raved!

It’s a kind of political thriller about an ‘international’ bank that funds the trading and manufacturing of war arms.

Throws open the whole conspiracy theory notion of a big evil institution that plays and orchestrates the entire war and financial politics surrounding wars blah blah blah.

Quite a decent film, which i feel some parts were rather predictable and boring. I was not being intrigued.. only watch if you have the extra cash to spare.**

Great Deals for Everyone

2009-04-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

Got to know of this great For HIM/HER SPA PARTY from Yvonne!! Its only $10.70 per person which consists of many yummy goodies! You can choose even from one of their Signature Spa Treats to pamper yourself..! What's more, there's even high-tea buffet and goodie bag worth $250! Its such a GREAT DEAL!

I realised I've so free this 2 weeks that I went to watch 2 movies with Ivan this week. My friend, Sab even asked me to join the Amazing Race (Angels & Demons) under the incinemas.sg for fun. The grand prize is a trip to Rome for two!! (although I know its fairly a low chance of me winning.. but well, I am going to borrow the book to read lest they ask questions from the movie Angels and Demons!). But too bad, this registration is a ballot thing so I am crossing my fingers to see if I would be selected! XOXO

hai,left with 1 more week to go b4 I officially commence work. I know its going to get hectic for me again preoccupied with work, tuition and piano. Oh god, please do not let 4 may to arrive so fast.. =(

Relishing my lmoments in NTU! i HAVE FINALLY graduated!

2009-04-18T21:59:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys for the hiatus in my updates of blog!! I have been tied up with my project stuff and busy shuffling to and fro from CCK to Punggol. Just two weeks ago, Ivan went for the piles operation and was recuperating at home. Thank GOD that he had a speedy recovery and he will be going back to work tmr! =) Busy taking care of him and driving his car too. (Finally had the YES from him to be able to drive his car alone!) haha~ it was quite a driving experience for me almost everyday and I think my parking skills have improved.. 'practice really makes it perfect'.

Now, I am enjoying myself everyday without having to fret over examinations and able to banish all school stuff away from me. I am elated that my 3 years of hard work in NTU is finally over and done with. Don’t think I am going to pursue my studies any further. I need a break!!

Recently, I plucked out my courage to go for my wisdom tooth surgery. It has been there since 2005 when I was working in COS with Sharon then. When i went to visit the dentist, he did an X-tray AND told me mine was an impacted tooth. It would require the cutting of gums! Soon, I was given 3 jabs of anesthetic to numb the right part of my mouth. Although I did not feel any discomfort during the surgery, It was when the anesthetic wears off when pain started to set in. (I would never ever want to go through it again after plucking 2 wisdom tooth in my life!)Now, I have to stick to a soft diet which consists of porridge, yoghurt or whipped potato from KFC. I am so sick of porridge!! Anyway, to think of the brighter side, this also means I might able to shed a few kilos!! Viola!!

Btw guys, the new Tampines 1 mall wasn't really fantastic as I thought out to be. It was too overly hype as written in The Strait Times especially with UNIQLO - the new Japanese casual wear store. They are just trying to create suspense by requiring customers to queue outside! But the store was not even packed in the first place. So irony... Generally, it was a mall catering to the mass market and my verdict was that Century Sq and Tampines MALL are still much better in terms of their shopping offerings.

Sad.. leaving my students soon..

2009-03-18T23:48:00.000-07:00

Yesterday i went down to MND Complex to sign my appointment letter with MOM, putting myself at ease knowing at least its confirmed. By 30 March, I have to go for a pre-employment medical examiniation as well as a photo-taking session for my PS Card. Officially, I will commence work on 4th May! =) On the other hand, I would most probably be resigning from my piano teaching in the school and this will mean lesser income for me. But i know i should not work myself over the limit that I have no time for other stuff. Leaving my students after been teaching them for 2 years plus makes me feel sad...*sob sob* I wonder how am I going to break the news to their parents whereby I have known them for so long. But I guessed I will have to continue teaching my private students unless I am able to find them a new teacher in replacement.

Indeed I am still contemplating about my decision whether to continue teaching them or further my piano to Grade 8. Well, thinking long -term I should opt for the latter since it gives me an opportunity to teach in more established schools like Yamaha or Cristofori when I am tired of working outside. But it means more $$ cough up for my piano and uni fees (regretted taking a bank loan) once I started working!! money, money , not enough!!

Job confirmation! Horray!

2009-02-16T06:07:00.001-08:00

These past weeks i have been having sleepless nights, worrying for my job especially in this recession period. Words could not express how much fears I had with me and my hair seems to be dropping drastically for almost 2 months. I had went for several interviews such as CPF, Citispa & MOM for the past two weeks. Upcoming one would be tmr for WDA. Well, I never thought myself to be applying for the civil service sector as I always believe that private sectors have more opportunities out there. However, at this point of time, I cannot afford to to selective. =( Today marks the end of my insomnia as I have got a confirmation call from MOM after 2 rounds of intense interviews with them. I was elated as I thought that my chances of getting in was slim. Thanks to God for the blessings.Nevertheless, its only a verbal confirmation and subsequent documentation coupled with medical checks are still due for approval. Pay wise has not been divulged by them so hopefully, everything will go smoothly and I will most probably start work between mid to end Apr. =) A confirmed job means I can get to go for my grad trip soon if time permits me to do so...!!

25 things you may never know about me..

2009-02-04T09:50:00.000-08:00

Got this from Facebook and decided to pen it down:

25 things you may never know about me –Facebook
1. The no. 1 thing boggling in my mind right now is not able to find a job in this recession. I need $!!
2. I love shopping and shopping therapy never fails to perk me up whenever I am down.
3. I am a fave collector of perfume bottles and miniatures. Have countless bottles of miniatures. MY favourite brand of fragrance is Escada as I love sweet and fruity scents. (Adore Moon Sparkle from Escada!)
4. I am selective on certain types of vegetables to eat. On the other hand, I love to eat cocktail sausages that are sold in NTUC!!
5. I cannot live without chillies. Loves tom yam soup and spicy stuff.
6. I always enjoy buffets especially those that offer student buffets (eg, Sakae) and steamboat buffets. I used to be a huge-eater but has tamed down a lot as I grow older.
7. I like Fann Wong for 12 years as I feel she is pretty and bring out the clothes that she wears.
8. I am obsessed with good eye-creams and takes pride in caring for my eyes since I am born with dark eye circles. Strongly advocates in prevention for eye wrinkles too.
9. I am always trying to lose weight.
10. I never enjoy playing strategic games like sun guo yan yi. Prefers fighting games, puzzle bubble, guess the differences and colour games that can be found in arcades.(no-brainer games!)
11. I can never be a food gourmet as I am easily contented with most types of food. Almost everything that I put in my mouth tastes good to me.
12. I regretted not studying hard in UNI to obtain good grades/honours. Now, I cant even get into public sectors as they emphasized very much on academic excellence.
13. I am 1.76m in height. Used to hate it as I find it rather hard to find a bf. (Well now, I cant lament as I found mine=)
14. People who do not know me well enough might find me unapproachable. Once they know me, they know I can be very lame and noisy at times.
15. I can talk non-stop on the phone. My bf is marveled at how much stuff I can talk with him. It’s a must for me to say goodnight to him every night.
16. I enjoy celebrating XMAS as it’s a time of sharing and giving to your loved ones/friends.
17. I dislike Starfruit juice, carrot drinks and drinks that are gaseous in nature which makes you burp.
18. I love hawker food and do not really fancy fine dining as I feel that it is over-priced and portions are small.
19. I love my Grandma alot. Hope she lives to a ripe old age and always stay by my side. I have a god-mum and she has taken care of me a lot since young. I hope to earn lots of $$ to be able to give her a good life in the future.
20. My mum’s home-baked pineapples tarts are the best in the world! I do not eat those that are sold outside except hers.
21. I love travelling and hope to be an air stewardess if possible to explore the different destinations.
22. I love exiting rides and am game for outdoor activities that drive my adrenaline going.
23. I adore babies as I find them very cute and innocent. Hope to be able to bear a pair of twins just like myself.
24. I love to watch comedy, romance and fighting movies.
25. I prefer simplicity in life. My life revolves mainly around my family, bf, his family and my friends.

Sis's wedding --Marina Mandarin Hotel on 1Jan 2009

2009-01-11T23:05:00.000-08:00

From left: my god brother, Ivan, me, my bro's wife, my elder bro, my twin bro
From left: my sis's husband, my sis, me and ivan

My family members

The singer from the live band which my sis has engaged.
My grandma.. she's dressed in nyonya costume..love her..

A poem goes this way: Roses are red, .................

Everyone was given a teddy bear =) Its really cute..

Memories that last a lifetime for a woman would be her very own wedding. AS for men, they would find it a hassle as the limelight is mostly placed on the bride. True to a certain extent as ladies always want to be at their prettiest on the big day... My sis is not an exception either as she tried to take lots of bird's nest and tonics to purify her complexion to make it glowing before her big day. She also took up kickboxing classes and went on a diet to maintain her slim figure. Guys, that's all the hard work behind a pretty face and figure for you to admire and ogle at.

Her wedding is officially on 1 Jan 2009 and it is held at Marina Mandarin Hotel. The hotel ballroom was grand and the decor is nevertheless, impressive. There are approximately 420 guests who attended and it was an exciting day for Ivan and me on being the MCs for the first time. The wedding began with the usual customary traditions of tea ceremony followed by a cocktail reception and lunch. Above are the snapshots taken:

"Not Just a Lonely Christmas"--- Season 1

2008-12-27T10:34:00.000-08:00

2B13 gals... keep the friendship going ya!
Long-ge said we are the prettiest girls he has ever seen in all the parties that he has attended!!
The contestants ranging from M1 to M7-- All of them putting on their best smiles for the camera.. Extreme left: Jason(Sharon's hubby), Jeff, Huiliang, Fadly, Ivan (my dear), Melvin (Ling Zi's bf) & Long-ge

Remainder of 2B13 -- like this photo alot. *sweet*

All thanks to WRTS for organising the Xmas party which was held at Bukit Batom Home Team Chalet. And of course not forgetting Eliza for being the co-host for the night with Jenn. I felt so fortunate to have such nice friends around me making the effort to maintain the friendship. Thumbs up! =) Keep the SP Spirit alive!

IT was a night of wisdom, wit, fitness and popularity competing for the award "Most Valuable Man!" amongst the guys. The guys put on a tough fight and the emerged winners for the respective categories were:

Fadly won the 'Test of Wisdom' in Round 1
Jeff won the 'Test of Wit'
It was a tie between Fadly and Ivan for the 'Test of Fitness' and.....
It was a surprise win for Ivan in the 'Popularity Category' --Guessed he kind of pull in the votes during the Fitness Test. =) Proud of you my dear! At least, you won something lar.. haha~

After the countdown of Christmas at 12am, the night began with many kinds of games which Taboo seems to be the most popular. Everyone drank to their fullest and Jeff had somehow met his match in his 'naggy' character when he is drunk --Ivan! I suppose if you were to put these 2 drunkards together for the whole night, they can talk anything under the sun under the next morning sets in.

This year Christmas is indeed interesting yet enjoyable at the same time. Personally, I always look forward to the gift exchanges as it is just so exciting to know what you be getting for in exchange. Once again, thanks WRTS for the great efforts!! =)

Pink Pool Party. Cool!

2008-12-21T03:04:00.000-08:00

Joyce's hubby was the one of the co-organiser for this Pink Pool Party held at Scotts Orchard Residence. It is really a posh location and the decor was really akin to that of a 5-star hotel. It must have cost quite a bomb to have rented one of the apartments there and it would be a blessing to own one. =) The food was quite nice and we did not even need to spend a single cent at all! It was because this event was a stepping stone for the organisers to try out for other events in the future as event organisers. This was their business idea cum xmas party gathering.. sounds cool ya as everything was coated in pink too!

Xmas Dinner@ M Hotel

2008-12-21T02:25:00.001-08:00

Yvonne is sad... haha~

It was another time of the year for a great gathering-- Xmas Dinner! I have always embrace the month of December as it is filled with joy, surprises and xmas presents exchange. I met up with my 4 gal besties and as usual, Gladys is always the butt of the jokes. She should be awarded the 'WORST' giver of the day.. We told her the gift exchange was betwen $15 to $20 and she forgotten the amount and bought a $12 gift coupled with 2 small boxes of chocolates bought at Watsons on that day. haha~to make it sound better, she kept emphasising that the chocolates were very nice.. ok gal, we still adore you for being so funny!=) We were hoping not to get Glady's present though and you can tell from Yvonne's face expression that she's really sad to get it.*gee*

Petronas Twin Towers -- an iconic attraction?

2008-12-04T09:20:00.000-08:00

Pavilion -- The new shopping centre in KL

The Petronas Twin Towers

The view from the Petronas Twin Towers.. It wasn't really fantastic as I thought out to be..

At KLCC which is pretty similar to Paragon in Spore...

The Monorail@ KL.. theirs are rather small in capacity space as compared to spore..

I'm back from my KL Trip today!! Really ate alot for the 3 full days...sinful sia..

Forgetfulness..

2008-11-29T09:32:00.000-08:00

Today I realized I have forgotten to enrol for my private piano student her theory exam and the online registration deadline is 28Nov!! my gosh, I am really in deep shit this time! I even wrote it down on my diary but the irony thing is I did not flip it through to see. I am definitely too overwhelmed by my exams which ends on 26Nov and I kept thinking I did not have any pending stuff to settle.. -_- Sometimes, shit just happens.. To rectify my forgetfulness, I emailed the chief examiner and hopefully, she can grant some concession to me. OTherwise, the contingency plan to answer to the student is to tell her that I will move her to a higher grade. I am so frustrated with myself lor for getting such important stuff. Serves me right... in addition, i would be leaving for KL tmr and hope they will allow me to enrol on 4 dec when I am back in Spore. *Prays hard*

Isabel, y are you so forgetful???

On the other hand, congrats to Ivan for getting a confirmed job offer yesterday and the pay is quite decent. =) I am elated for him as I get to benefit from it too. I would be expecting a big meal from him on his first pay day. =) Dear, so dont be stingy on the meal ya.. hee~

Relaxation..

2008-11-27T05:05:00.000-08:00

Today marks my first day of relaxation after yesterday's last paper. I was pretty relieved the last paper wasnt really hard but yet its not easy to score though. Ivan and I went to Charles and Keith private sale early in the morning to catch some good buys. I was real disappointed as a pair of long brown boots caught my eye which was retailing it at only $20! Yes, you did not see it wrongly! its ONLY $20! My gosh, it was so nice and pretty to pair it with jeans. =) But, guessed what? it was sold out for my shoe size! I could not believe it! It was devastating.... hai~ Perhaps, I am not fated to own a pair of boots?? Anyway, i did not manage to get any shoes in the end and ivan bought a pair of Petro shoes for himself. Well, at least i did not go off empty-handed. We bought xmas presents for exchange and it was rather a good buy as the items was of good quality though. Got to keep it a secret first until xmas arrives! ho! ho! ho! Watch out for my items!=)

Alright, next update will be on my KL trip if it materialised.. I have yet to book my coach and accommodation tickets and will do it tmr.=) Initially, wanted to go BKK during Jan 09, but because Ivan was quite uncertain in his future job hence, we decided to drop the idea. And I was really angry with him for foregoing the cheap TIGERAIRWAYS tixs to KL for $69 when he saw it on WEd!!! He only informed me at around midnight on tt same day, and the cheap tickets are being snapped up very quicklY!! Hai, he ar always think so much before booking something.. =( Hai, well, i know he's pretty sorry too.. haha~ well now have to settle for the coach instead.

Lynn 23rd b-dae!=)

2008-11-21T21:06:00.000-08:00

See more pics at: http://gs52.photobucket.com/groups/g25/B6OA2VZAXU/

Time flies and we're back to the last birthday of the year --Ms Lynn Lee. Without her knowingly, the gals discreetly went to her house at 12am to wish her a very sweet 23rd birthday. I think she was so shocked upon seeing us appearing in her house at the wee of the night. That's what surprises are meant to be! =) Luckily, Lynn aka pig was not asleep due to the spy we had in place to ascertain it. (Thanks to her younger bro!)...*sweet sweet*

On the actual day of her b-dae, we went to E-MAX to play Wii and other games. It was so much fun that everyone got ADDICTED to the Guitar HERO! It was a game of rhythm, colors and fastest fingers. The MOST ACTION-PACT goes to ahem.... Fadly! He was practically dancing to the music and it was disgusting having to see his butt moving while sitting behind him to watch him play. haha~ However, it seems like Jeff and HL were not with us though :) They were in their own world of Counter Strike game. (they were really engrossed in it!)

After all the gaming stuff, we headed to Heeren for window shopping before going to Wakaru Pasta for dinner. As usual, the big-eaters felt that the portion was too SMALL and only XW almost couldn't finished her plate of Spaghetti and her slice of pizza which was left for her. In addition, she was also the butt of the joke as she could not comprehend the issue between the night cycling and the clubbing. =) Well, hopefully she gets it by now!

I enjoyed myself and hopefully everyone does too!! It was a day for me to de-stress myself for my last paper though. Now, I have to get back to my studies again.. its simply boring for me...-_-
Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNN!!

Exercise Regime starts now!

2008-11-18T08:43:00.000-08:00

okok i know i have been saying that I want to slim down umpteen times, and action speaks more than words. I have FINALLY managed to sign up for my KICKBOXING class on every Sat, 11am to 12pm. (12 sessions starting on 6 Dec). Coincidentally, Jenn and Eunice are also going to extend their sessions too on the same day! (that's great to have companionship!) Initially, wanted to sign up for Wed night classes, however, places are all filled up. Well, seems like KICKBOXING is really well-received amongst the West staying residents. I even got a 10% discount due to the PASSION card. It have come to be useful now ever since I have applied it a few mths back. =)
I have forced Ivan to sign up with me since his tummy is growing each day with his enormous whet for food. Guessed he's starting to realize it too. haha~ I really need to lose some weight since I am going to be the MC for my sis's wedding on 1 Jan.. *stressed* -_- imagine going upstage facing 600+ guests makes me so nervous, not to mention this is my 1st trial at MC. hopefully, I be able to put it off.

Just ended my 2nd paper today and it feels great. =) I have one last paper to go next week and seriously, I think i will be slacking again until the very last min. I am REALLY sick of exams and have grew tired of studying.. it makes me so sick just thinking about it. Perhaps, studying was nvr my cup of tea and I am just struggling to get by just to get the piece of paper -- Degree. hai~ guessed that's what everyone is aiming for too.

Itchy eyEs.. + exam blueszzz.+hp still in repair..

2008-11-03T21:09:00.000-08:00

I hate this month. Hope it never arrive at all. I detest exams because it deprives me of my free time such as watching TV,movies, sleeping, eating and shopping.. arghh.. I guessed I am really a real PIG thru the description. *yawns* I am just soo tired and whenever I opened my textbook of strategic mgmt to study, the sleeping spell just set into my brain. Its just procrastination to the last minute where I just start to cramp everything in my head. Recently, my eyes has been so itchy that it really irritates me..wonder it could be due to coloured contact lenses or insufficient sleep? hiau hiau..Although I am only 23 yrs old, I feel like I have an aging body within me. My shoulder pain really puts me off and sometimes I hope the PAIN will FUCKKKKing go away soon. Its been 1 yr already and even though after gg to a acupunturist , it does not help at all. Someone who know of a good orthopaedist please inform me.. =( Its been an unlucky week for me as my Sony Ecrisson hp is still in repair and it has been more than 1 week. Guys, if I ask who are you when you messaged/called me, please be mindful its not because I do not have ur no..=) Its because most of my contacts are lost.

Its been a long time since I catch a movie. Its all because of projects and projects again that my weekends are burnt. Plus, i need to teach piano for the whole afternoon of Sun certainly adds to another woe of mine. How I wish I am Warren Buffet's daughter then I wouldn't have to work so hard. (hopefully, a fate of luck will change it.. gee~). Anyway, I want to give a full star rating review of Tropic Thunder as it is simply hilarous which makes me laughed my head off. A good comedy movie that is comparable to my 'Hot Chicks' (Did i remember the name of the movie wrongly?) I just adore Ben Stiller as he is always such a good actor in comedies. Thumbs up! Oh btw, I couldn't believe that the character Jack Black is really Tom Cruise in person!My movie list is always exhaustive. I still have a couple of movies in mind that I yearn to watch:

1. The Coffin -- this looks really freaky and scary. But I quite like to watch horror movies, so most probably i will catch it.
2. High School Muscial 3 -- this is one I would never miss it! =)
3. Butterfly Lovers -- Wu Chun is intriguing hot and handsome, despite he may look a bit 'niang' sometimes.
4. The House Bunny --This is a comedy and it seems like its not bad...hmm..
5. SIng to the Dawn -- Heard the reviews wasn't really fantastic.. still thinking if I should waste my $ to catch it. But well, reviews are rather subjective though.

and etc..... =)

Global Recession... Ouch!

2008-10-19T23:15:00.000-07:00

News of global recession has sets in, and now, I am getting apprehensive whether I would be able to land myself into a good job in a few months’ time. One that pays reasonably well to my expectations and hopefully, I will like the job too. But well, job seekers do not have the much bargaining power as opposed to past graduates and I just have to pray hard. There is one pending offer from Charles & Keith and I am still waiting for their T&C before I decide to take up. I have always aspired to work in the fashion line, be it clothes or shoes. C&K provides overseas opportunities as well and it sounds really attractive to me.
Some of my peers might wonder why I did not choose to stay in the hospitality line and you were to ask me, I would only say that I would like a change of environment and industry. I am still looking around hoping for one good organization to employ me to start my career path rolling. Casting aside my career fears now, I have to concentrate on my forthcoming exams which mark the end of my studying years. As for next semester, it is a breeze for me as I only need to take on one module which is only worth 2 Academic Units. Really looking forward to my Vietnam Trip from 15 to 18 December and this time round, I am not going with my Dear. He is going to Vietnam too but with his uni peers as their graduation trip. As for me, I am going there for my FYP and of course, not forgetting about fun. Hopefully, there’s some shopping to be done at there. =)
On a side note, happy one yr and 3 months with my dear! Hope we will stay blissful forever…

Slacking from 28th Jul to 1st Aug 2008 =)

2008-07-30T10:13:00.000-07:00

My professional attachment has ended and now I could finally rest for a few days before school commences again. I did gain the operational side of hotel experience and invaluable intangible lessons. One could never ask for more I guessed. Although my internship stint has ended, I kept myself useful by tidying up my room filled with my sis's stuff. I emphasized again, its her stuff! Since she moved house last year, her items are still left in my room leaving it for dust to settle on it. Hence, I got to clear all her unused textbooks, papers, files and etc. Its such a tedious task that my whole afternoon is burnt. My efforts are not gone to waste seeing that my room looks so spick and span now. =) I think my schedule is going to get worst once Aug kicks in as I am going to work part time in Singapore Heritage Centre located at Lakeside, attending school for two full days, teaching piano for two days and impending Final Year Project (FYP). Hopefully, I will not get drained out by the end of this year. When one is not as affluent as others, life gets harder to earn money for univesity fees. A whopping $19 500 plus debt is going to come after me once I graduate next year Apr. Better earn more money to save or else, I would not know how I am going to clear it.

Days at Shang.. =)

2008-07-26T00:33:00.000-07:00

Me, Stacie (she's back@ Switzerland), Ono-san

Although it has ended, somehow i do missed my ex-colleagues at Shang. Some were really nice to me and I thanked them for the happy times spent especially in the Concierge. Hopefully, my career choice will still be in Hospitality line but then, my decision may swayed as I am still currently looking at other options. Air stewardess could be another alternative or airline companies as I wish to explore other areas. Having worked in the hotel industry for almost one and a half yrs, despite the long hrs, its the satisfaction tt you gained after a long day. I guessed, not many careers offer this kind of satisfaction when you are able to receive guests' feedback about your work and attitude. For me, I prefer jobs that enable me to travel as I love to see the world and experience different cultural diversity. lol. anyway, I am looking forward to a buffet treat @ The Line in Shang by my HR Mgr. haha~ he is being forced by my two fellow interns and me to treat us. poor thing.~

Genting Trip 21st ~ 23rd July 2008

2008-07-23T09:39:00.001-07:00

Eating@Yong Peng market..the chicken rice was nice!

At the top of the themepark...

Posing! haha! the view is fabulous!

Trying to get a glimpse of the water fountain behind us..

Water ride

Go Kart View

I look stupid man in the Go Kart.

Awaiting for our turn to try the Go Kart!

Space Shot - it looks scary! What a pity tt we did not try out!

Needed Energizer Man to energize myself for the rides!

Entrance of the Theme Park

Chanced upon Doraemon outside one of the shops. Could not resist not to take pic with it! I adore Doraemon! Its soo cute!

Five Stars COach - good or bad choice?

AS usUal - Zhi Lian!

The Genting trip was great!esp the theme park. It was thrilling and I loved it. A gush of adrenaline and shouting at the top of my voice was exhilarating. After my internship, this was what i needed - to feel great during my trip! Absolutely relaxed and carefree... The downside is tt the food wasnt really cheap over there and we spent quite a substantial amt on food expenses .With a glutton like me, I doubted we could save on food too. My dear was not an exception too. haha~ We watched The Dark Knight - Batman movie and we got got a great deal out of it.WE bought the PREMIUM seats coupled with free popcorns, drinks and snacks. @ RM18. The movie portrayed Batman to be vulnerable, and i felt its very realistic as he couldnt possibly be invincible always. Men are not infallible too. The whole trip was a great experience except for the trip back. The driver drove too fast until we feel like puking. =(

This marks the day of our one yr anniversary and I am glad we are still as loving as before. We went to Mezebar with dear's friends @ Meritus Mandarin Hotel. This place is really COOL and COSY (2C's) and I love this place. Its a great chill out place with friends! The cocktails and alcoholic beverages are unique in a sense tt their Lychee Martini is served in a teapot with their lychee placed in a small saucer. Dear, thanks for being so sweet to dedicate a love song to me! I am touched and hope our love will be everlasting. I will never forget it. Its called 'Endless Love'. =)

Nihon Mura & Night Safari Outing..=)

2008-07-05T10:04:00.000-07:00

Night Safari

Its a real pity that my Nikon camera is in repair hence, was unable to capture the animals in Night Safari. =( As usual, I am always looking out for great deals to grab. Typical auntie. haha~ I went to sign up for the Passion Card at one of the community centres as they are currently having a promotion. The membership is $10 for three years and once you signed up, you can choose from either 1) 1 comp Night Safari admission ticket, 2) 1 comp Zoological ticket or 3) Fila Bag. I helped my dear to sign up too and we chose the night safari tixs since its more worthwhile as the admission tickets alone is $22. Ours is $10 only! save $$! Along the night safari has been around for quite some time, I am embarrassed to mention that this is my first visit there.

The setup and the ambience of the Night Safari is similar to the "Survival" show concept. I felt that it was nicely done up and the tram ride was enjoyable as you are able to enjoy the cool breeze, the forest trail and etc. And the best highlight would be the special shows they had at certain timings of the night. I think without its accompaniment , the whole Night Safari night experience would not be that complete. Sad thing is I could not really see the animals well in the dark although Night Safari experience is all about " Seeing them in different light". Nevertheless, my dear presence with me heightened my overall Night Safari experience. Thanks dear for accompanying me despite that you do not really like the smell of the Zoo. ~~

Nikon Mura

It was a delicious and satisfying Japanese buffet for me @ Nikon Mura with my uni friends (Hui Yun and Sabrina). Personally, I preferred it to Sakae Sushi (the "green frog") although it was my first time there. Their presentation of food was awesome and most importantly, their salmon did not come with rice so I had numerous plates of salmon alone. On top of that, they served us one glass of complimentary watermelon juice and subsequently, free flow of various chilled juices and green tea which you can choose from. The food was piping hot unlike Sakae Sushi whereby sometimes, their food has already turned cold. Their Chawamushi and the potato croquette was delicious . Overall, thumbs up for such a good deal buffet! its about $17nett for students and its really worthwhile. yummy...=) I just want to mention Hui Yun's huge appetite. She can be my good kakee for buffet next time as she can really eat alot! My gosh, she is even better than me! haha~ Hui Yun ~ there goes your diet plan ever since you have mentioned it months ago. ~

Politics. I detest it.

2008-07-01T08:20:00.000-07:00

Today I had a bad day. A real bad one which left me thinking the working world is really deceiving and dark. Everyone's faces seems so angel when they talk to you but behind their masks, its all plotting against you trying to make you feel helpless at times. I dont deny, it has affected me substantially and nothing could explain how i really feel. I hate this awww feeling. Did i trust people too easily? Or i was just plain naive? I felt stupid. I dread going to work now. Its a complex feeling tt I have never experienced b4. All along, I thought I could handle work politics, but this incident has kept me more vigilant. My colleague told me its all up to how you perceived it and what you are going after. 1)A simple job = do your tasks dutifully everyday and dont ever think of promotions! 2) A job with responsibilities and higher salary = be involved and play politics. that's the way to a higher promotion! Its true to a certain extent of what he said. Occasionally, pacing your life a bit slower might not be a bad idea after all. A kampong life could be one. Simple yet able to experience the nature of life which you cant obtain it in a city dweller life. However, not everyone is ready for it. Me? I not prepared too.

16 more days to the end of my internship stint!

2008-06-29T06:43:00.000-07:00

I havent been blogging for a long time due to fatigue in my work. Seriously, I hate to work 6 days a week whereby my allowance ($500) is not justifiable for the hours I worked. Moreover, Sundays I still got to teach piano. I need more rest days! Now, i am preparing in lieu for my Japanese placement test for Level 3 or 4 in my school so that I can skipped the first two levels. *Cross fingers* hopefully, i can pass considering that I only have about 1 week to study for it. My knowledge of it is abit rusty as i have not touch it for the past 4 yrs. Now, I can only look forward to my Genting trip with my dear in July straight after my internship for a rejuvenation. Really needed it! I used to like working, but now, I am beginning to detest it.

Some pics of my hairdo at work (done by my colleague, Suriany, she's really good at it=) tried to do it myself, but, mine was quite messy. gee~

It's Ms Sharon Mah 24th birthday!

2008-06-17T03:44:00.000-07:00

Its another time of the day for one of our babe's birthday! - Sharon! She was late for almost an hour and it left the rest of us waiting for her at Shokudo. Our stomach are grouching and all of us were really hungry. (well, cant be helped since most of us can really EAT! this excludes the missing gal - Xiaowei). I've there before for my birthday and I have always like their Carbonara pasta. Its tasty and delectable which left me wanting more of it. haha~ Thereafter, we went to Ben and Jerry to have some ice cream and for photo takings. At the later part of the night, our birthday gal suggested going to a KTV pub and we walked quite for a long time before we settled for one ktv pub. It was an experience as we get to see some sleazy pubs which i think the guys will love to go if not for our company. hee~ well, guys are guys afterall.

Upcoming gatherings will be:
- Fadly's birthday @ St.James Power Station - It has been donkey years since I stepped into a pub again for clubbing
- Jenn's birthday: might be booking the Chevron chalet @ Jurong -its clean as compared to the Easy Coast one, however, its always fully packed..

Ciao for now~ will be updating again.. sleepy now..

Down with Fever, Flu and Sore Throat

2008-05-25T04:57:00.000-07:00

Its been an awful three day for me having to battle against my sickness that dawned upon me. I am real sick and i feel weak all over. The only thing is to rest and sleep after taking my medicine as it caused me drowsiness. May god bless me with good health again. However, considering my situation, I'm pale in comparison with what is happening in Sichuan now. Its really depressing to hear the news everyday about the high tolls of deaths each day. Its so scary that life can be so fragile. My grandma is hospitalized yesterday and I am worried that something may happen to her. I have been very close to her ever since I was a toddler, and I felt sad. She's the greatest grandma in my heart. I love her and hope she gets well soon.

A New Fragrance...

2008-05-02T22:58:00.000-07:00

Trying out my new hp image resolution.. hmm not bad ar..hee

My days are so fulfilling now, as I get to go out without worrying whether projects or assignments are due. Its so relaxing nowadays that I get to wake up when I feel like it which is such a good feeling. I bought the Moon Sparkle 50ml fragrance yesterday! The scent is fruity and sweet which I adore it. On top of that, I got a miniature and a beautiful Escada satin pouch. Its soo nice that I cant resist it not buying. Well, I am a fragrance fantic, and when I chance upon any fragrance that I like, I will be thinking about it and wanting to get it. To me, a fragance is intriguing and it symbolises a person's personality and what scent he/she likes to associate with.

Personally, I like Escada fragrances as I prefer fruity and sweety scent as compared to those musky scents. (yucks!).

Best HP Deal!

2008-04-30T10:06:00.001-07:00

Absolutely love it!!

finally my last paper ended today! my torturous moments are over! Today just received the news from Shangri La Hotel that my internship starting day is being postponed to 5th May. Now, at least I have 4 days to rest and play before I start work. =)

Went to Bali Thai to eat with my godmum and cousin today. Think we ordered too much until my stomach felt bloated. Ordered my fav Tom Yum Soup with Prawns! I really cant do without chillies and spicy food. I am so addicted to chillies that I must always have it together with my meals everyday. My bf is astonished at the way I eat chillies. Its an addiction! Oh, updates updates! Bought my new hp - Sony Ericsson W910i red hp today! I've eying for ages as I really love hp in red. I got a really good deal for my hp purchase. Firstly, they gave me a $50 Swensens voucher! tomorrow I am going to eat with my dear! Then, I was invited to spin the wheel and I got what I really wanted - a $50 Isetan voucher! I always like to go to Isetan to get my Ettusais pdts as their products are good for my skin especially for their liquid foundation, blusher and mascara. Highly raved by me!

I used to be a Nokia Fan as its user-friendly and suitable for a light user like me. I dont fancy hps with great features as I usually use my hp for calling and sms-ing. Nothing much as I prefer simplicity in the things I use. However, this hp changed my perception towards other brands as well. I liked the graphics of this Sony Ericsson phone and the messaging was quite similar to Nokia so I got the hang out of it quite fast. Moreover, the music quality was really good and I think it is better than Nokia. Now, I am a great FAN of Sony Ericsson!! Will definitely opt for Sony Ericsson for my next purchase in 2 yrs time if nothing goes wrong.

Post Exams Depression

2008-04-24T07:17:00.000-07:00

Today I sat for my 3rd paper without studying at all for it. This is because I have S/U it and I think its quite useless for me to study this module: Language Foundation for Translation. Felt quite uneasy as I have never ever done that before. Well, the paper was quite tough and there were alot of English to Chinese Translation long paragraphs which is not easy for me to translate. Having a higher mastery language of English than Chinese, I realized Chinese-English is so much easier. Hopefully, I wont do so badly for it. This semester I kept procrastinating for my revision in my exam papers, and its just a bad habit thinking I can crammed everything in one to 2 days. Aiyo, really served me right if I did not do well for this sem =( I feel out of sorts today. My dear is sick and down with fever and bad sore throat. Hence, I am quite sad that I am unable to talk to him on phone for long as normally I am the one doing the talking and I feel quite weird not talking to him. ( I'm just too talkative!) And to add on to my sadness, I just received my Managerial Accounting Project grade. Its C lor! This is the 1st time I got an C for a project! My group members and I were disappointed with our results and we are going to appeal to re-mark for our project if possible. OF course, to appeal, we need lots of justifications on the basis why we want to appeal. Its just so depressing! And I lost my NTU matriculation card when I entered into my exam hall just now. Its just my unlucky day today! Now, All i wish is that my exams can end faster. sick and tired of studying. Countdown to my last day of exam: 6 days more.

Aprils' Girls B-dae!

2008-04-21T07:16:00.000-07:00

A NICE group photo taken!

It seems that April birthdays are endless...=) Even my friend, Jenn commented that she has spent quite a bomb in April just for the birthday presents alone. haha~ Mahattan Fish Market was great! their service was good esp for birthday celebrations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED @ Central Mall! The staff took the initiative to ask whether we are celebrating any birthdays as we came in a large group. Despite that, there was also FREE Brownies and photos taken for us! (cant remembered what's the camera called whereby it can chunk out photos instantly) Nevertheless, it was a great dining experience and I definitely patronize there again. Sharon wasnt there as something cropped up at the last min therefore she was unable to make it. Thereafter, we headed to TCC after much hesitation on which cafes to go. We celebrated Xiaowei and Lingzi's Bdae in advance because most of us are having exams in APRIL (Stressed!=). Thumbs up again for Mahattan Fish Market for making this memorable b-dae celebration for the birthday gals and us!(",)

My birthday may be over, but it came as a surprise for me unknowingly when my minor friends went to buy a cake.. they are really sweet. =)

Where's my motivation?

2008-04-13T09:16:00.001-07:00

I been hooked on online stuff lately, and have been surfing continuously thus, neglecting my studies. Perhaps I just do not have the mood to study, and am de-stressing myself from therapeutic online shopping. Exams are really nearing and I am just exhausted and shagged. Been busy with my 'Stress-Out!' Bazzar event recently due to my minor course and at last, I have cleared the last module of it. This whole course really put my sheer determination to the test, coupled with perseverance and motivation. And yes, I am elated that I have finally finished it. If someone were to ask me whether he/she should be encouraged to take the course, my answer will still be a yes. I suppose it sounds ridiculous to someone hearing that this course requires sleepless nights, tremendous time spent during a particular period and etc. However, I feel that sometimes, its not easy to explain it unless the person has been through it too like myself. The OBS (Outbound Singapore) itself was fun and it teaches you the philosophy theory of life - always perseveres to the end, and never to give up easily. It stretches my mental and physical strength to the last drip until I almost dropped dead while I was back home. Above is a snapshot of my bazaar theme poster: =)

Now, I am in my room trying hard to cram all the strategic concepts into my head for my forthcoming paper - Facility Management & Design for Tourism. Contradicting enough, although I am in the business course, but the stuff i am reading now seems like more engineering stuff to me =( I just hope that I can score at least an A- for this paper. Well, I am defining my study methods through delineation of conceptual maps and linkages of theories, hopefully, it helps me to recap it better. Sounds like a professional in disguise trying hard to score well.

I am looking forward to an overseas trip for my 1 year anniversary in july. Some destinations in mind are Taiwan, Hongkong and Bangkok (oh yes, bkk again!). But come to think of it, its quite nonsensical to keep going back to BKK for the third time in our courtship days. ~ Hence, plans have shifted either to HongKong or Taiwan. Taking into due consideration in our financial constraints, the market prices now for the air tickets and accommodations, it seems like we might need to settle for Msia or KL since its much affordable than the former. Anyway, the decision still lies with my darling since he will be sponsoring 3/4 of the trip for me. haha~ all of a sudden, I sounded like a bloodsucker. But hang on, I did not place a gun onto his head. He agreed to it out of his own accord. hee~~hee~

Lobang for Cheap Branded Comestics!! =)

Really love them!=) In addition, My poly friends gave me a $150 M1 voucher as they knew that I needed to get a new hp!

Enriching Life

2008-03-14T08:27:00.000-07:00

School life has been pretty hectic for me = ( As usual, my university life is filled with endless projects & assignments. Secured an internship with Shangri-La Hotel as a Guest Relations Officer and I suppose my holidays are going to be burnt out as I need to work for a 6 day week. That’s life when you are required to do internships. Pay is low and I am like being exploited for cheap labor. Anyway, just felt that my social life is diminishing as I really have no time for myself, let alone with my friends. I hope to regain my social life again in the next semester as most of my elective Academic Units would have been cleared by then. =) To enrich myself, I am intending to take up hip hop classes or either salsa dance courses with Ivan this coming holidays. I am also intending to take up Japanese Language again in my next semester as I have forgotten most of what I have learnt previously. So in order to support all these activities, I will be finding a part time job for the rest of my 3^rd year so as to earn more $ for my school fees too. That’s a headache!

2008-02-05T07:07:00.000-08:00

CNY is just round the corner but it seems that the festive mood is not here yet for me. I am feeling rather vexed up over my internship as my other fellow classmates in my specialization are really good. It is real competitive. Perhaps, I haven’t really found what I want to do in my life, and I suppose everyone is just like me; trying to search for their so-called ‘passion’ in life.

Today, I realized that my 7 month relationship is not really going on smoothly as I though out to be. There are some issues that need to be solved and I just feel that I have given a lot in it yet, I am not given the mere or basic trust in a relationship. All I really ask for is trust and is it so difficult to give? I’m just so sick and tired of hearing the same old sentence repeated again to me. If it’s so hard, perhaps, I should remain single.

The Race of Life

2007-10-30T07:52:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I kept to myself thinking, others blame circumstances, their own fates, or even luck when they meet successful people around them. I was guilty of that too. Whenever I hear news on young achievers, I always took notice of their background, especially their parents’ occupation. And most of the time, their parents turned out to be managers, doctors or businessmen. That’s when I muttered to myself that sometimes a person’s success is not solely attributed to the individual, but to something he has over others. He might have a successful business because his father is filthy rich who provided him the capital to start with. Or rather, she speaks and writes good English because she was born in an English-speaking family since young. However, true all these views might hold, having such thoughts does not make us any better, or help us to take control our lives. After all, I finally realized it’s all up to one’s determination to carve out our career and to take charge of our lives the way we want it to be. While finding our true strengths, that’s when we need to make full use of it to win the ‘race of life’ which I called it.

2007-10-21T09:28:00.000-07:00

I going to get really busy in the whole month of December due to my Minor in Entrepreneurship and my school activities. Imagining having to travel to school from 9am to 5pm, mon-sat in Dec made me freak out. About 2-3 modules to be completed in one month is no joke, and definitely I hoped I do not have to camp in school to rush the tight deadlines on projects. On the other hand, I get to go OBS for 3D2N which is part of the minor so perhaps, this is the best part.
I'm going to BKK again with Dear in Jan'08 although this is not really part of our plan. We wanted to go to Taiwan badly but, due to the circumstances that the tickets was not cheap, we decided to abort the idea. And yep, we have booked the tickets @ TigerAirways for $126 per pax! I am looking forward to another shopping therapy...

The Battle

2007-10-14T12:26:00.000-07:00

Facing another new phase in my life has been always daunting for me. I am afraid to embrace the future as I do not know what lies ahead of me and often, trying hard to excel in everything I do. From pre-school to university life, it’s getting harder each day and I am getting tired of the competitive school life I am facing now. Hoping one day I could just abandon everything and flee to a place where I can be alone without any worries. Realized I am just not intelligent as compared to my peers and this really puts me down. In addition, have been suffering severe headache lately and it has caused me to lose attention in whatever I am doing. Perhaps it’s due to stress and not to mention my hair has been falling so much so that I thought there are cancerous cells in my brain. Right now, I just want to rest as I know a battle is going to begin soon to rescue my terrible GPA. On the other hand, I felt blessed. Feeling loved and this has enable me to propel forward with a smile. Hopefully, our relationship will always remain strong and no matter what happens, I am going to give my best in it. Thanks LGG for being there with me always! Remember its fighto time! =)

Ecstatic..

2007-09-22T04:17:00.000-07:00

I passed my driving test yesterday and the feeling was great. It was quite lucky for me because i think the tester was lenient. phew! To celebrate it, my dear bought a box of durian mooncakes for me from emicakes and it was indeed a surprise (simply adore him!). I felt relieved to pass my driving test as $$$ and time invested really took a toll on me.

Mugging Sucks

2007-09-16T10:11:00.000-07:00

Havent been really mugging for my studies ever since I started my school term in early August. Guessed I just being plain lazy or waiting for the 'last' hour to study before I can really feel that time is running out for me. Realized life is a boring routine, with every recurring stuff that is freaking out for me to meet its deadline. Endless assignments, projects,exams etc.. how i sometimes wish I could just go and work. I hate being a full-time student seriously, no $ to spend and perhaps the best perk is that if you do not feel like gg for lessons, you can jolly well just MIA without any valid reason :) All I hope now is something to rejuvenate myself and to start my 'mugging' engine again. Not to mention my driving test is round the corner and this time, my confidence level is dropping to a low level...:(

I really love this song entitled "Way Back Into Love" by Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett. Its sweet :)

Get to Know Myself Better..

2007-09-13T08:35:00.000-07:00

Got this interesting personality quiz link from Lynn:

The Real Me

Here is the analysis:

You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.
You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.
You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.
Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?
Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

Love can be bizarre..

2007-09-10T10:56:00.000-07:00

Am I overreacting or just overly sensitive? Deep down, I know nothing will ever happen, yet somehow, I just felt uneasy. Whatever things I have objected, I have my reasons for it. Sorry, if I came across to be unreasonable as you do mean a lot to me =)

Fishing Day at Pasir Ris Pond..

2007-09-09T09:33:00.000-07:00

Fishing was once a sport that I never have thought I would ever enjoy it because it seems so boring. Alas! I was wrong until I went fishing this sat wif Dear and his pals. I am an amateur in it because this is also the first time i had contact with a fishing rod=) The sun was scorching and my feet had this tanning line which borne the shape of my slippers.. it was unslightly..we managed to catch 1 BIG fish with my dear's fishing rod (mind you, the fishing rod costs only $10 and it works well..:P) and it is to be cooked by my mum for tomorrow's dinner! yummy! overall, it was a great experience and I definitely will want to go fishing again! :)

Watched the Rataouille yesterday and I think it was a good movie.. its a twist filled with real bits of great humour and it changed my perception of rats. I used to hate it last time as I have a bad encounter with it..anyway, its highly recommended to watch although it seems like a movie for children as the cinema was packed with more children than adults.

Thoughts

2007-08-20T10:26:00.000-07:00

Life is full of unpredictable events and right now I am enjoying every moment of it. Although it might be too early to assess, but somehow, I felt I have met the guy of my life. He is caring, thoughtful, humorous, and most importantly, he treats me well. I have never thought of going into a relationship initially during my uni life as my previous relationships still haunts me now and then. My love life has never been smooth-sailing as I’m always the one getting hurt, and thus, I am skeptical towards relationships.

Thanks dear for being there, it is indeed a blessing to have known you and I am really glad that we are together. Beforehand, it was a struggle for you to make the decision and I understand you will never have wanted to go through it. I know the days we are going to go through will still be a long way and though we do live quite far apart (East Meets West, hee~), I’m sure we can accommodate somehow and as the saying goes, “Absence makes the heart grew fonder”… Happy one month too my LTP! =)

A Day @ Vivo-City & Mount Faber

2007-08-13T00:51:00.000-07:00

looks like a prisoner in captive.. haha~

I managed to get my River Island black shorts @ $40 as I hv been longing for it. The usual pr was $89! hee.. got a really good deal. I was nearly gg to buy on impulse last week until my dear advised me nt to as he felt it was nt worth it. Thanks dear! haha~ The sale is still on and I am really tempted to buy more clothes =) I was really shagged on sat as my dear and i went to Mount Faber too for a stroll. (Sounds like a old couple walking in the park.. haha~) I think the bus interval is too long and in order to kill time, we walked for quite some time until our feet are real suan lor.. and i realized my stamina is decreasing, seems like ages I have not been on my jogging regime. :(

Haagen-Dazs & Fisherman's Village

Eating by the beach@ Fisherman's Village

Cheeky face pops up at the sight of ice-cream :)

3 Aug - Went out with my dear to hv lunch with our ex-colleague, Rebecca at Gloria Jeans. Thereafter, we headed to Haagen-Dazs for ice-cream cos my dear went to redeem the $10 voucher from Starhub. Sounds cheapskate right.. haha~ We had belgian chocolate flakes mixed with rich chocolate ice cream & fusion of chocolate ice-cream and cookies. Sounds so heavenly yet at the same time, so sinful..:) I oso had a taste of the freshly baked donut from 'Donut Factory' and I think its somehow being over-rated. Thought it was really fabulous..:(

4 Aug - Went to Fisherman's Village to eat and it was a horrible experience. The service staff was bad and we had to wait for nearly 45 mins for our food. We asked if they had hotplate beancurd and she tactlessly replied us tt they have no time to cook tt dish. We were thinking what is so difficult to cook it when it is easily found in any eating 'Zhi-za' place. When I requested for a plate of chillies, it took them so long and they even charged us for peanuts and wet tissue whereby it was nt being given to us until we asked them. Luckily the food was reasonably alright & I think we're not going back there again in the near future.

Yutingko's b-dae!

Went to Giraffe for drinks and bought Jenn's lovely b-dae cake there!

went to PizzaHut@PS due to Jenn's craving for her cheesy pizza. Loved it too:) Bt its a bit too cheesy tt I scared of putting on weight.

BKK Trip.. (28-30jul)

2007-08-01T10:29:00.000-07:00

The BKK trip was an enjoyable and fulfilling one..:) Bought lots of bags especially and I tink for the nx few years, I don't hv to buy anymore in Spore. Basically, we were like rushing from places to places such as Chatuchak Mkt, MBK, Central World, Platinum Mall, Sam Lum Night Bazaar and etc. Went to eat seafood, tomyum soup practically everyday, sharks fins and birds' nest. I definitely go back to BKK again probably after 2 yrs later. Now gotta save $ liaoz.. poor already... :(

School life is commencing again for me on 6 Aug, and I am gradually sinking into 'sian' mood. Having used to a carefree life for the past 3 mths without taxing over exams, tests and projects & etc is such a enjoyment time. I guessed good times always end fast before you could realized it. :) Alot of things have been happening around me recently. My bro got married and he is now basking in happiness on a honeymoon trip to Turkey with his wife. On the other hand, my sis is also moving out soon this Sat to her new hse@ Redhill with her husband-to-be. So now, my hse left only my twin bro and me. It feels weird as i am used to living with a large & lively family. My family members can be rather noisy as late as 12am because all of us seldom slept tt early. We are a bunch of nocturnal animals! I know I am gg to miss them alot and now, I be left alone to a room all by myself. In the past, I used to complain tt my sis should moved out asap, but when it really happens, u realized tt its not exactly what you want. Contradicting enough, humans are always so hard to fathom. Feelings are suppressed and s0metimes, we do not voiced out how we really felt.

To a New Beginning...

Life suxs now for me as it is another recurring day having to drag myself to work. Seems like I am not needed there anymore and basically, I am just slacking there the whole day. Msning,smsing & talking which are a 'no-no' in the office, I have done them all since swopping seats with one of my hateful colleague, aka Snake. Why do we called her snake? Because she is a devil in an angel face. She seems harmless but as the saying goes, "Never judge a book by its cover" and this describes her very well indeed. She really is a trouble-maker since she joined Pan Pacific few weeks ago. Just talking bout her makes my blood boil! The most intriguing thing is she flirts with a old male colleague right infront of me.. and it really causes me goosebumps, those kind u feel kinda irritated by it. Anyway, my internship is ending really soon with only 3 more days to go. I am definitely LOOKING FORWARD to it. :) finally i am able to end the torturous moments of my life in internships!! ciao!

In a flash, realized my internship @ Pan Pacific Htl is gg to be over soon. 3 mths went past jus like dat and now i left only 6 more days to it. Although there's alot of stuff happening around in our dept, i glad tt at least i hv made several good friends like Ivan, Carrie, Rebecca and Yanti. I will definitely missed them all because of the fun and laughter we had while @ work. Ivan has left Pan Pacific due to some politics and problems surfacing between two full-timers and he has to leave which is so ridiculous. I lost an internship friend but gain somehow. It may sound irony, but somehow it jus happened. I am looking forward to my BKK trip soon (28jul-30Jul) for some shopping therapy to unwind myself from all those nasty PPPD members.
