firstly, i should give myself a pat for blogging religiously these days
went down to town today to meet tiffy and mad ( yes, she is back again)...
it was sooooo damn crowded, i havent been to town on a weekend for god-knows-howlong
and was really shocked to see the crowd. i bet 50% of these people are either cheenasss or dont know where they come from. confirm not singaporeans. if they are, sg government will be really happy...
some pictures to share....
thanks to tai tai Madeliene michelle koh
who made us wait for her outside while she ejoy herself in the spa ( lol, she was actually doing IPL, shall not say which part la, let u imagine... lalala... ) *running for life*
anyway, the place look so posh...
in Paragon... told u is tai tai MMK liao
chamwhore while waiting.. 
oh ya, their service not bad, we thought they will just let us sit n wait like most spa will do... not their customer care so much for what?? instead they bother to serve just ginger tea n didnt even try to plester us to try the spa. * thumbs up*then accompany tai tai MMK go buy heels lo
see she come back one day need to do so many thingsmani pedi la
trim brows la

i've been really tired.
slept but didnt sleep well. woke after 8 hours in bed, feeling exhuasted.
think it has to do with the exercise, for the past one month, i only does my "exercise" at work n other than the 2 trips to the gym in frisco, i've done nothing else. lazy lazy bum.
i saw the same colleague like few times in a month and did like 3 flights with him in a year, and guess what? i saw him again today with his wife, omg. how fated can it be. okay i know this is totally random but still... ha.
i was telling this colleague today after working in this line for sometime, life has become too "exciting" that nothing excites me anymore. everything is comfortable, just very comfortable that there is nothing to look forward to, nothing else that i lack. okay, maybe more love. haha.. i was uttering rubbish, i dont lack any love... shall take back my words.
yes, back to the topic. Just few years ago, i'll get so excited whenever i plan for a trip with my gals... looking forward to that every day just to get the other part of the world for some shopping n maybe beauty therapy. But now, even if it's a holiday, booking will usually be done not more than a month from the date, and holiday is really just another day. Just different place. I'm really not complaining, in fact i'm loving where n how i am now, just looking at how things has changed.
i dont go shopping in sg anymore cuz there is nothing else to shop.
i rarely go town these days cuz there is no more meaning to it.
i dont look forward to weekends anymore cuz it's just another day.
i dont see festivals that important anymore, cuz i'll be working anyway.
i dont feel so fascinated about going new places cuz it's just another place.
my wallet doesnt contain just local currency cuz i need many more....
many things has changed, my lifestyle, my habits, my character, n maybe my words
things has become not so routine, more unpredictable, more exciting...
all good for a gemini baby.
many times i did consider bringing myself down to the ground, but i know i will soon regret it.
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 // 9:49 AM
tiffy asked if i would have nothing to shop anymore since i'll be in korea with her again in march
" no gal, by then i would have tried all my products n if it's good, i can buy more!"
and so i started testing my skin foodiesss already.
i have to say when it comes to beauty, i'm pretty good
cuz each n every bottle is filled with awesome stuff
reckon i should do up a review of all my cheap n good skin foodiesss
oh i've to add, it's cheap... only if u get it there.
i so love o2 masks now.
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 // 9:26 PM
heyo!
I'm back. i went crazzzzzy shopping in korea
first night shopped till 2am
(oh ya, for those wont dont know there is this place that opens till 5am)
really good midnight shopping..
then next day continue from morning till 1 hour before i check outthen continue at the airport. This is crazy... ive never done that before while working. That explains why i'm so exhuasted now. N the guys who followed me, bought more than i do, cuz i was so good at "selling" the skincare products.
for the whole trip they keep telling me...
" gal, dont do this to me, i bought alot alr"
then i will go...
" really, it's very good, bla bla bla..."
ended up their basket fuller than mine, n i'll be so satisfied. lol. *evil*
Ok for now, i'm so scare of unpacking my stuffs cuz i really dont know where to keep n how to sort them, i'm really lazy... n exhuasted too, from the work n shopping over the pacific.
As promised * waving to van again* here are pics of my short hair first time ever publish online!
view 1, left
view 2, right
view 3, full body.
How do i look now?
prettier? or................ pretty ugly? lol
pics taken in San franisco
Forever 21 fitting room. i was shopping alone that day
n yes, i bought the outerwear, nice?
if u ask if i like my new hair
i think it's a good change, easier to manage,
better for work ( no more worries about bad hair daysss)
but still i do miss my long hair...
i should be keeping it short for sometime, then grow it long again next time :)
------------------------------------------------------------------

.
.
.
i unpacked my stuffs and took a pics
.

and the free gifts n samplesss i received...
that's excluding my frisco stuffsss.
and fade sms-ed to say i look very sammi in the short hair, okay, it's not new cuz she been saying that since i was 19. lol
Friday, January 22, 2010 // 5:41 AM
i hit the gym at 4am local time n is really surprise it's half full
oh my the people here wakes up just so early
and i'm glad that OLD NAVY opens at 9am too, and Macy's at 10am, and Victoria sercets and and and...hoho shops open early here. i gonna rest a little, bathe, have a little breakfast and comb the city alone. yes, i'm a lone ranger, cuz i never like shopping in a group... u know galsss... ok, in that sense i'm very much like a guy, when it comes to shopping i'm pretty decisive. see it, like it, buy it!
I just had a good long break with the bf n now i'm not going to see him for like more than half a month. feeling a bit sad :(. oh yes, cuz he'll be flying over the islands to the exact places i am ( korea-san franisco) just when i reach sg, that explains. However, my happening bunch of colleague does make me feel much better. U know, it really doesnt feel like work at all. That should be the way it is :)
Talking about work, did i mention that i dont have spend time tying my hair for work any more, that means i get more sleep n feel more comfortable at work. N before u start asking.. has my company change the grooming guide??? NO, it will never happen. lol. N yea, u guess-ed it, i cut my hair again. real short this time.......
Thursday, January 21, 2010 // 1:03 PM

Next destination: seoul- san franisco
Good and bad.

good cuz i can go shop shop shop till i drop. lol. but honestly i have improved alot, nowadays i realised i dont shop nonsense any more, mainly quality stuffs, and nessecities. *give myself a pat for being a good girl*
havent had time to upload my Phuket pictures till just now, decided to post everything on facebook, many more pictures to go, loading seriously slow n i'm getting frustrated. it doesnt help that the bf is snoring away beside me ( time check 3pm ) n that i just got back this morning at 6am... really sleepy. going for a nap first, shall continue when i'm awake. nitezzzz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: Phuket album up on my fb
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 // 2:39 AM
The bf ran back excitedly telling me to wait 30min for him as he has a surprise for me. After close to an hour, the silly boy came back with a motorbike all sweaty and wet. Then i realised he actually crossed rivers ( walked) to naiyang beach to explore, came back to get money then went back to rent the bike and came back all the way to pick me up, just so he can bring back there for lunch again. That's my love :)
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 // 9:07 PM
My "ang mo" bf is out suntanning at the beach again
and i'm left to relax alone.
for half the morning i've been in the same spot like this
just love the sight of all the greenery.sippingg my tea while surfing my net.
oh ya, forget to tell u i'm in phuket now.
Hotel is situated far from the city as we like it to be exclusive. Besides, they serve very good thai food too. N the best thing is, there is hardly any chinese here, mostly angmos couples and their family. i'm so loving it. Took many pictures, will blog more when i get back.
N here is a picture of myself, i took yesterday....
i realise my curls doesnt show much in pictures, cuz it's black!

Dearie drove me everywhere to eat during my 3 days stay in his hometown.
from restaurants to cafes to street stalls.
Yummy yummy food.
1 day for me to rest in my lovely ccountry and i'll be away for another short getaway with the bf
Travelling seems to have get into my blood, or maybe i was born with it
From primary days where i have to travel from Pasir ris to Lavender everyday to attend school
to the tuition days where i travelled the whole Singapore to teach my lovely students
then came travelling from the East of sg to the West ( SIM)
and now i've "upgraded" to travelling the world.
Ask me if i feel tried? of course i do. alot in fact.
but i just cant get my butt down on a place for long... that's a gemini life
---------------------------------------------------------
Oh ya, i was talking about cutting my hair short on my previous post but when i reached to the salon, the stylist actually feels that i will look good with curls.
all these while i've been adoring the pretty curls on the japanese gals in the magazines but didnt have the courage to give it a try. Besides, black curls dont look so fantastics too. On thinking that i can always cut it short if i dont like them later, i gave it a shot. afterall there is nothing to lost except for the money... and maybe some time. and yes, i'll be spotting these curls at least for another few months. Loving it for now, but it really does take a little more effort to maintain than the convenient rebonded straight hair that i was so used to. ok i promise pictures soon *waving to van*
till then take care :)

Blogging from malaysia
yes i'm on leaves now, and since i've cancelled my trip to Korea ( the one before phuket)
i've decided to come back with dearie to his hometown, for the first time.
This place make me feels alot like Thailand
street foods, dirty streets, run down coffee shops etc etc...
yet serves very good food. Yummy.
i've to admit i'm very much a city gal, the mosquito and pollution outside is making me itch, and i've to bathe like feel times a day, to make sure i feel comfortable.
The internet connection here is freaking slow, can you imagine i'm using dial-up to access the internet while typing these?
and it gets dc ( sounds like a decade ago when we used this term but it's still common here) too.
It's amazing how the bf and brothers grew up in the village. studied in non-chinese school and is doing much better than most of us Singaporeans. Dont you just feel so ashamed of yourself? Living in such comfortable environment ( Singapore) , equipped with all the tools and "assistance" to study and yet failing in exams. I was guilty of that too.
Anyway, it's my second day here
managed to try out motor riding with the bf, alot alot of local foods too ( the bf been very excited playing host) and showing me around, his schools, his childhood places etc
And no there is no baby tiger nor cow ( which he claims he reared...always bluff me) just a blur rooster at the backyard.
shall continue when i get back... tata
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: i've finally set my mind to cut my hair short when i get back, been contemplating for monthsss. Hope it will turns out nice, else i will cry :(.. any good stylist to recommend?

Hey lovelies, Happy new year!
I know one week has almost past, but after all this is my first post of the year. And i've yet to come out with a new year resolution this year.
I ended 2009 in busy note. Tired but fulfilling.
New year eve was spent with a bunch of lovely colleagues in Brisbane, had new year dinner in the hotel and off to count down.
All the colleagues on that day
my 2nd round of food, cuz the dinner didnt fill my stomachyummy yummy pancakes @ the pancake house
waiting for 2010's arrvial
and was the first time i see so many people outside brisbane too...
and so i ended 2009 and started 2010 here.2009 past in a blink of an eye, the whole year was spent working, learning and gaining precious life experiences.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A peak into 2009...
Jan
Started the year in Korea, seen my first real snow in my life in Milan and where i went on my leaves and spend first long break since i started my job in 2008
Feb
First time i stepped onto Maldives, to me that's one of the prettiest place on Earth
March
My first encounter with one of the seven wonders of the world, Pisa. Even though we spent hours travelling there from rome (where we landed), all efforts were worth it. The building is amazingly pretty and well preserved.
April
The month where i visited south Africa twice
and fell really sick on my second visit. But well, this was also the time i felt the true meaning of the chinese phrase " you have to depend on friends, when u are outside" the care and concern showered by the colleagues did lessen my pain then.
May
First time to San franisco where i went crazy shopping
June
celebrated weeks of birthday with friends as well as 1 year anniversary with dearie
July
second time i did moscow-houston
and met a very fun loving bunch of colleagues, one of my happiest flight :)
went on holiday to Korea with tiffy love too
August
Tokyo holiday with dearie . The best thing is i had a human street directory with me. I always enjoyed going out esp touring with dearie, cuz i never need to use my brain nor afraid of getting lost. hee. one of the happiest time of the year.
September
Visited the magnificent Pyramid in Egypt that many have been longing to see.
October
First time to London and caught the sight of the REAL london eye. close up!
November
Greece welcomed me and hugged with metheir lovely mountainsss and islandsss
December
Spent xmas in amsterdam with dearie
and ended my year in brisbane
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright that's it, these sum-ed up my fruitful 2009. The year wasnt exactly smooth but good enough. at least when i look back next time i can honestly tell myself, I DIDNT WASTE MY LIFE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and TODAY, the 5th day of 2010. i'm back in sg
a brand new year, a brand new start!
i woke up at 4.30am and set off for....
guess where???
yea smartie, you are right.
Marina barage!
Looking at the beauitful skyline of Singaporesuddenly i feel so proud of my country
i rem just a little more than a decade ago, when asked to draw a picture of Singapore during art lesson, my printings will always be the merlion, the highways and what else... the different races in sg. I guess things will be really different if we present this theme to the students these days
Somehow, the country has developed into a really sophisicated and beautiful city
some ongoing contructions..
and the skyline of Singapore
yes. we rode there all the way from the Eastthat explain why i woke up at 430am, and set off at 5
a healthy beginning of 2010 :)
see she come back one day need to do so many things
just love the sight of all the greenery.
i realise my curls doesnt show much in pictures, cuz it's black! 
All the colleagues on that day
my 2nd round of food, cuz the dinner didnt fill my stomach
