Blah-ing

Went Muar during the weekend to attend ah girl's wedding. It has been a long while since we last met. She still looks the same, like the ah girl we all used to know. But a doctor she is now, all grown up. Can see that her parents are awfully proud of her, her husband always there for her, a blissful bride she is. Happy for her and hope that her future path will be even more smooth sailing and fortunate.

Stucked in the office on xmas eve. Waiting for 6pm to come. No travel plans can be made for the next year hence no travel website for me to surf. I'm just boredddddddddd to tears. It's driving me crazy.

The swing is still there.

I think..

True love is when you fall in love with the same person over and over again.

True friends are those whose paths you stray from over and over and yet still end up walking together.

You know..

Sometimes bread is better than love.

Esp when it is delivered to your doorstep accompanied by a cup of green milk tea with cream and no pearls, just the way you like it.

Yup, for this I will like you, once in a blue moon. Hahaha.!!

Shuxks..

U know its time to start freaking out when your bros of 23 yrs start looking for a match for you and to the extend of dlg pict from fb to share with you.

'its time' one said.

And you know its time to stop attending 别人家's family dinners when they keep asking qns like 'when are you getting a bf?' Or making demands like 'you better bring a bf with you next year'. Honestly, I do not have to deal with qns like these when I go for my extended family dinners. Stress to max!

Hahaha. Oh yeah! Life is wonderful with frens like these!

爱情雨

While in secondary school, I always wonder if 10yrs down the road, my friends and I will still stay in contact. Will we be like those 大姐姐 and 大哥哥 gathering at Starbucks and laughing with one another. Starbucks was a privilege once upon a time, drinking at Starbucks was somehow a confirmation of status then. Financially stable, with good friends around, I guess that was my definition of giving thanks.

Secondary school life is my favourite phase in life. Nothing to worry bout and O's wasn't as scary as other exams down the road. Friends were easy to make and everyone was still naive. Some with big dreams some with none. All we want was to have fun while it last. We were self centered kids who belong in a world of our own, being a nuisance at times yet still obeying the rules. My friends were all 'guai kias' and luckily I wasn't lead astray. Some were very stubborn with their beliefs while some just go with the flow. In all, these friends made me want to stay friends with them 10yrs down the road.

More than 10yrs later, thank god I'm still in contact with most of them. With meet ups and easily recognise by the friends' family members on the street, I guess, this are the confirmations of our friendships.

Watching this Korean drama 爱情雨, another romantic- comedy, it got me asking for more.

Will we, another 10yrs down the road still gather with our spouse and kids and have a wonderful time together?

Am I asking for too much this time?

You know its time...

When ur friend of almost 20yrs said:
'I think maybe... its time for you to lose some weight.'

And she even quote supporting evidences like the reason I fell down is due to heavy legs.

Sigh.. Yah. It's time...
Time for me to go backpackg in China ALONE. I tend to lose weight, so this will works!

Branding

Lately, I kept thinking of our relationship. This trip, it hit me that we have actually known each other for 23 years. That is like 79% of my life! I have never thought that I will stay in contact with people that I have known for ages esp the Opp sex! (Good news is, he is not the only one I have on my list.)

I have been thinking of what actually is our status. Friends, ex-classmates seem to be an understatement. Buddies, bff, 知己 seem to be too over. Activities partner, khakis seem to not be too true. Brothers, sisters... nah!

Finally, out of the blue I know what I can call him. 老友!

老友 seems to best describe our friendship.

A friend I have known for ages, who is immune to my nonsense and can ignore without any extra effort. Someone who I will call out for whenever I want certain things done and not be annoyed when the demands are not met because thinking back those tt are met simple exceed those not met by miles over.

I won't call ours a plantonic relationship (other than the fact that it is a boy+girl friendship) because we are not on such close terms to know what each other are thinking by a twitch of eyebrow, or be able to pour everything out over a beer or two.

And I won't call it a casual friendship because there had been parts of our lives where we were close and well in contact and on the other hand, there had been periods where we simple do not know what'sup in the other lives.

I still remember the statement I said during the wedding dinner."你是我的 true love, best love, first love!" It came from nowhere but reflecting on it now, two thirds are indeed true. 真爱，最爱，初恋。

老友万岁!!

May there be many more to come!

shld we...

Have a baking session oneday..

super tired..

Woke up tis morng to an email frm jetstar. They are having another melb direct flight promotion but at $550+ return for travelling next q1. Too ex for budget i feel cause i heard of emirates at $400+ so i think i rather wait for another such promotion ba.

Went for a 3hrs long walk w cl n darcy just now to wdls waterfront. Nothing fantastic to wow bout (e place i mean)
But my legs are aching now. Needless to say, it was a good workout!

Now, i'm hungry...

P.s. w/o my htc desire, i wont know of such bargains!
P.p.s. i was able to check for airfares using my htc once i woke up shows tt either my touchscreen typing skills has improved or i'm a damn cheapskate.
P.p.s. i really think tt some top jetstar mgmt is reading my blog or is a friend in my fb or e fengshui stuff is working..

i dreamt..

last nite, i was at Great Ocean Road. It was a bright and sunny summer afternoon. (i'd nv been to GOR in summer! Went twice in Winter thou.)

It is a slightly modified GOR. With the twelve Apostle, but with other weird infrastructures such as a temple and a train track and other stuff.

I was looking for my friends CL and ma-de whom i somehow lost after i wonder off on my own.

Along the way, in a temple, i saw this small little black kitten that looks like CJ7 and it was crying like how a cartoon cat will cry and telling me on why it was sobbing. (Yes it can talke and i understand what its saying) After sometime, it stop and disappear.

I walked on and saw a exbf and his gf, he saw me and asked if i was alright and to let him know if theres anything he can help as the rest had place the burden of my wellbeing on him. I looked at him and didnt say anything and walked away.

I sat down, with two of the Apostle right in front of me when suddenly one suddenly broke and fall and the impact cause it to break into half again. It was a clean break with no dust or peddles flying around. Just like that. People around me didnt even relised what had happened and all i could say was 'OMG!'

Then the sun began to set. The sunray started turning more orangey and then reddish. It was gorgerous. Sunsets at GOR are always a pretty sight.

Soon, it became dark and i went into a buiding, supposely their foodcourt, and somehow i know where CL and moo moo were. I walked, make some turns and there they are sitting there waiting for me, saying the words i knew they would be saying, 'Where had you been?'

And my journey ended.

be careful of wat u wish for..

do u remember in 1 of the earlier post(almost exactly a mth ago) i mention something like jetstar flies frm aussie to japan and maybe it shld stop in singapore or something like that..

n today i found out tt jetstar WILL be flying frm SG to Osaka starting in July. shit.. i bet some jetstar top management personal is reading my blog!!!!

hey, why dun you make me a major shareholder as well!!


i guess.. thats asking for a bit too much.. but a girl can always hope, cant i? ;P

The trip to Melacca last month was a very eventful getaway. I got to stay in a wonderful hotel with a superb bed at an expense of less than 50sgd a nite which is completely worth it and bought a supergooddeal+amazingbargain queen size Azumi 510threadcount bedsheet+quilt set at only sgd100!!!! It was selling at 70% off, meaning its original price is almost 300sgd++!! That is a super dupper good purchase!!!

Today, finally, i changed my bedsheets, use my newly bought IKEA quilt(dun ask me why am i using quilt in sg. because i myself do not know how to ans. because i need both the fan and the aircon to fall asleep. else it will be either too humid or hot if either 1 is missing. i know.. talk about saving the earth.. i sucks!)and also bought in melacca 16holes polyester fibre booster.

Tonight, i hope that i can catch up on my sleep as well as have a peaceful and dreamless night.

If only, i have the sink-in-mattress-quilt as well. Wonder WHO will get it for me?? WHO will be so nice?? Think only the WHO will know what i'm talking about!!

mobile n i..

i'd tried bringing out a battery flat phone..
i'd tried not bringing my phone out...
i'd tried bringing a phone tt auto shut down every now n den

but i'd nv tried bringg a fully charged phone yet being not able to make a call because the line got suspended due to 3mths worth of overdue charges..

nt until today.

i guess i'll nv be able to understand hw come some ppl rather forget to bring their wallets den their phone.

i guess i'll always be the minorities who feel tt its alright not having a phone.

But i think my dad dun feel the same way. He said, 'I'd nv been so embarrassed in my life! I'd nv forgotten a electric bill, water bill, phone bill watever bill. Yet today, i cant even make a call out because you didnt pay your bill!' All i could do was to laugh it off.

Guess my salary is not sufficient to pay for my phone bill.
Guess i was just trying my luck or testing M1 limit. Now i know, the limit is 3 mths, numerous red letters and several sms reminder.

Guess it wasnt my lucky day today. Because out of all days, today where my line got suspended, i was asked to send a sms by a stranger and all i could say was

'you want me to send now?'

stranger nodded

'i cant. my phone is not working'

stranger eyed my phone and gave me a puzzled look.

'i cant because i nv pay my bill so they cut off my line'

stranger decided to ignore me.

And i felt like a complete idiot.


DEN the friend who KNEW called immediately aft work.

Me: 'u miss me ar?'

she: 'no. i just call to laugh at you'

me: -_-!!!

NICE. Thats what friends are all about.

i'll try real hard..

I'll try my best to ensure that i do not balloon up and become so fat and lumpy such that ET will feel embarrass to be seen out with me.

=(

Back n feelg lost..

I remembered the first day i was back, i woke up feeling lost. Like i'd lost my motive in life. For the past few days, i wake up with an excitement of not knowing what i will see and what i will get. Tuesday, i woke up dreading the coming of wednesday where i'll be back to wearing heels and tight skirts and long pants.

The past few days had been maddness. Oh, how i love THE MADDNESS. The shop and shop and shop and shop till you drop and you still dream of shopping kinda maddness. I remembered the last night at Suan Lum Nite Bazaar, after a relaxing foot massage and a super heavy dinner of Peking duck+pig trotters+braised pork with man tou+duck soup and duck toa gae, after shopping for an hour or two where i'd just covered a quarter of the nite bazaar, i could barely keep my eyes open. Yet i push myself to go on only to succumb to the temptation of the beer garden. Sadly, when we reach the Chang counters, pasted on the taps were printouts that read ' We do not sale alcohol'. Trust me, i almost fainted on the spot. Our faces were like this => (-_-!!!)

Anyway, here we goes again...

Night 1 - Thursday - 6pm
We (e 4 budgeters or budget airliners) met at Changi Airport Terminal 1 to check in, each with a hand carry ONLY. Nothing more nothing less. Just a handcarry each to bring on board. We checked in, wait for our flight and flew into the skies at 7plus, reaching BKK at 8plus Thai time(1hr behind Sing). We were WARMLY welcome like VIPs at the airport by the 2 who reached earlier as they caught the flight that served food and drinks. Anyway, to cut the story short, we took a maxi cab to our boutique hotel, checked in, went to our rooms, changed to more comfortable clothing for the rest and off to the street to search for food.

We settled our roadside cravings with banana pratas, sotong, grilled chicken (which make me recall of a funny tale. We were walking and we saw this man pushing a cart of bbq chicken coming our way and past us. Being us, we immediately u-turn and follow behind him till he stop. He was unaware of our presence until another store owner signal to him of the 2 hungry ghosts who cant stop eyeing his chicken.)

After which we walked on and as it gets later, it became harder to find dinner (note: it was almost 11pm). We finally decided on the chicken rice which is yummy enough to fill our stomach and wait for breakfast. We went back after dinner as most places are closed. Bathed and sleep.

Day 1 Night 2 - Friday
We woke up and had streetside breakfast delivered to our room. Where can you find this kinda service?? Only when you travelled with bentan when his sis is around. Then you may leap in the benefits.. muhahah..

At 10ish, we proceed to BKK aka Platinum mall. We shopped till 4plus and went for lunch at A&W den back to shop somemore till 6plus where the reason we stopped is because our cash is low!! I brought 5k baht which is about sgd200++ out tt day and i almost finish them all. Luckily i didnt bring out everything else i dun think my extra 150sgd will be able to last me for the next 3 days.

We went back to the hotel, rest our feet for a while and went out again to Central Mall (i think this wat its called) for Naraya. Its crazy inside. It seems like theres some massive sale around but THERES NOT. Everyone is busy grabbing stuff like free one. I think this shop had become a tour highlight for the China tourist. Goodness. I upon walking into this shop, saw the maddness walked one round and decided to stay put at the entrance and wait for a seat. I got one, sat and waited for the khakis to do their shopping, pay and go for dinner. We intended to go for Peking duck but we reach there at about 10pm and they are closed for the day so we went to another Thai restaurant which we went the previous time. We were the last customers and some of the stuff we ordered are already sold out. So we have to replace another order which is also sold out. ANd to replace with another item which luckily they have. Anyway, after a fulfilling dinner of pad thai, tom yum kum, pandan chicken and steam otah, we cab back to our hotel, bath and went to bed.

Day 2 Night 3 - Saturday
We went to Chatuchak market early after another round of 'room service' and spend the whole day there till around 4pm. It was a hot hot hot hot day. I reckon it will be a smarter choice to go bkk during dec as its way cooler. Anyway, i didnt buy a lot that day while the others did. The buddy n i bought mostly accessories and a quaking chicken for darcy. We cab back, took a shower, went for fish spa (i promise myself tt i will not try it again!) at the hotel lobby, den went to meet yl's thai friend for dinner at a sister branch of S&P restaurant. Think its near Siam Square or something. The area is rather cool and high end i would think and is worth a visit (e next time i go). (Note: Hard Rock cafe is there.) Aft dinner, we went to a temple and went back to hotel to shower and sleep.

Day 3 Night 4 - Sunday
Today, we became tourists instead of shoppers. We went to take a river cruise!! How fun!! But apparently not. No particular reasons for why not, just tt i felt kinda cheated to have to pay 500baht (appro $20+) to go up and down the river.

We stop at the grand Palace and decided to forgo the visit and went to Chinatown for Birdnest (500baht). But this, is WORTH it. Haha...

We walked around, den went back for a shower den went for foot massage which was nice enough. Not as painful as i thought it will be. Went back to our hotel, catch a shutter bus to the train station and went for my Peking Duck. Again, we had a room to ourselves which is a fortunate event as i dun noe how i will feel to have my fellow diners talking about P-holes and S-holes infront of other diners. After which we to to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar and back to our hotel to sleep the nite away.

Day 4 Night 5 - Monday
We (e 4 who had not have enough shopping) woke up early and went back to Platimum Mall for some last minute shopping. Till about 1pm where we went back to check out of our rooms. We kept the luggage with the adorable bellboys which capture the buddy's heart so much tt the buddy didnt want to come back and started blaming us on why didnt we remind her to take a photo with them. Thats how adorable they are. Anyway, we went for a Thai Massage while the other ladies went for a pedicure/manicure. The massage was not as scarry as i thought but in the future, i think its best to request for a female massaue.

After tt, we had Swensons, went back to pick up our luggage and took a cab to the airport (700baht). Waited for our flight and reach singapore at 2am. I was dead tired when i board the plane and for once, i slept once i got on the plane, woke up a few times now and then and went back to sleep till we almost landed. Not once did i talk to shu yan or maybe i didnt remember speaking to her. But i was so damn tired by then.

Reached home, a super warm welcome by Darcy the Jumping Jack, showed Darcy the quaking chicken which he didnt like very much, took a shower, dry my hair and sleep all the way till the next noon.

It was a nice trip and which i'd been telling my colleagues, i'd bought enough wkend clothings to last me for the next 2 yrs. By then, i will be back again. To buy my next 2 yr worth of wkend clothings. =D

Anyway, no picts because theres nothing tt i took except 2 picts which is pretty entertaining and i shall post it another day.


To: You shld know who u are
I saw this Pink (sadly nt red) T-shirt with a 4 leaf clover on it and words that read 'I rather be lucky than good' (its so u right?!!)which i bought with the intention of mailing to you. Only to lose it. Dun ask me how. Somehow it was misplaced and i cldnt find it for the next 2 night. I'm so disappointed but i still want to let you know that you ALMOST have a t-shirt like tt! heee....
