Run, Hide & Break Free!

Yesterday was the most emo-day of the year...never had this feeling ever since the previous episode, which was 3 years back.

I guess i was just too hurt by the words / actions from a friend whom i thought would be a worthy one ; someone who will stand by me no matter what. But i was wrong ... i had never felt so bad before, not even with my jie meis. Perhaps it just my one-sided feeling in this friendship .... It's time to move on and leave this "friendship" behind. I have been HURT , to think that my tears even rolled down uncontrollably whenever i thought of the words/ scenes.

Like a song by Corrine May ....

"Losing myself

Gaining it back again
Forging strength from weakness
All that I am
All that I'm meant to be
Melting in your hand

Let the world swirl with naysayers
Pickled hearts and sour faces
What is real is what I cannot see"

I guess i can never commit myself in this friendship ... cos i just feel that that friend does not deserve to be a true friend of mine....!

Bangkok Shopping trip - 25-28 Mar 2011

WHEEEE.....

Just returned from a relaxed shopping trip from Bangkok. Had a great fun over at Bangkok, spent most of the time eating and shopping - which was the main objective of this trip. Thanks to the fun companions, who never fail to entertain each other during these 4 days. Sad to say... i was the main subject of their entertainment most of the times....but it doesn't really bother me, I love to see my friends happy. Sometimes, being a comedian or "clown" in a group is really tiring. Perhaps i should really stop and consider living a serious life?! Thinking back, sometimes i regret transforming myself as the "comedian"... after a while, it does become a habit and hard to change back. Its okay, luckily i have a good bf who understands why i am doing this and still supports me. I guess i am the real me when i am with him. =) I tried telling my colleagues about this, but nobody believe me.... or maybe i am already used to being a person who always blabber nonsensical or rubbish stuff...oh no, i am having split personalities?!

Overall spent about $1k (inclusive of air tics and lodgings) .. not really a lot, since the meals which we had were comparable to Singapore's...just that the kind of ambience and service we got in Bangkok with the same price, you can never get that in Singapore. Hehehe ... difference in living standards?

Did not buy a lot of stuffs for myself - 4 shorts, 1 tee and 4 sets of undergarments. The rest are for friends and family. I tot i bought a lot for myself....hmmmmm... next trip shall compensate for this shortfall. When will be my next trip to Bangkok?

Shanghai trip is up next ... planning to be in Sep, hopefully i can be "released" for this trip, not sure about my new job commitment yet. *praying hard* Will need to do a good planning, since i am the planner.... with 2 groups of friends - Sharon and my jie meis.... First time traveling with Jie Meis , should not be an issue since we are already so familiar with each other. Hopefully it will be a fun trip... looking forward to Sep!!! =)

Reviving my Blog!

Yo...

It's been almost 2 years since i updated this blog of mine. Been rather busy with work and of course, meeting up with friends and expanding my social circle. I just dun have the energy to update blog daily,esp after a long day at work.

Hmm...where shall i start? Okay, shall start from my 26th Birthday celebrations this year. I guess I had the most memorable birthday this year...since i have a lot of good friends celebrating this big day for me.

Started with my staffs holding a surprise birthday celebration during a farewell lunch for one of the NSF at Cafe Cartel. Was touched by their thoughts! The next day, Hann Ting and gang gave another surprise in the office. Actual day was spent with my bf at sentosa - had a nice dinner along the beach. Headed to Malacca (self-drive) during the weekends. I just needed a break from Singapore.... The following monday, Hann Ting & gang celebrated my birthday together with Yihua. Had a fun and enjoyable night. The following week, met up with the Jie Meis -i had not been meeting up with them regularly since 2009 and i am really thankful that i was not forgotten. We had fun time bowling and a nice dinner at C.Nai. Its good to have such friends around, no matter how we are busy with individual's lives,we are always on each other's hearts. This year's birthday is special too since Imee came back to celebrate her birthday with us. I had my second celebration with Jie Meis (full attendance) for the first time. Well.... i am really grateful to have such good friends in my life. =) honestly.

One does not need to have a lot of friends...I just need a handful who will stand by you and understand you! Sometimes, i am quite impressed by friends who know me inside out....even though we just know each other for months. =P These friends are hard to get..but not many can accept you as who you are.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

6th Day into my wisdom tooth extraction.

The pain & swell is still there; with some blue-black. Imagine having 8 tooths extracted at a time. The surgeon must be definitely experienced, my bleeding stopped hours after i discharged from the day surgery centre, though my lips & gum felt numb and swollen.

The first day was bad ; i could hardly opened my mouth; perhaps just approx 2 cm , big enough to insert a straw. All i could eat was Anlene Milk (Lunch), HL milk (Dinner) & Strawberry flavoured milk for supper.After the first day, i guessed my inner hunger for real solid food overtook the compliance to soft food. I had milk for lunch, but had porridge for dinner. 3rd day , i was already having carrot cake for lunch. The 3rd day was the worst, the swell got to its biggest size, and i looked as if i was stuffed with food in my mouth. Luckily, the swell started to subside on the 4th day.

Days after days, i could only rest at home, either watching CableTV channels , or playing games online. Guess an active person like me, could not realli stay home and rest. Had the urge to go on the streets, but was held back cos of my swollen face.

Another 4 days before i return to work. Monday would be distrastrous for me, i am sure i would be greeted with tons of emails when i login to my acc in the morning. Hahaa ... guess that's a norm for all working adults.

Bless myself to get well soon .... Starting braces in Mar.

A-Mei Concert 4 OCT

A-Mei's the BEST !

Out of so mani concerts which i went before, A-Mei's was the best ! Bought the $158 seats and went with my bf. Gosh .. imagine sitting at the 7th row, if i am a fanatic fan of her, i sure go berserk upon seeing her at such distance. Her voice is damn good and power ... esp the encore part, when she managed to bring every single audience to stand up and dance to her songs and get high. Took a lot of close-up pics of her , would upload soon. I like one of the songs which she sang - If i ain't got you. Still humming that song nowadays .... the lyrics sound so true.

3rd month into my job as a HR Management Exec, used to the NSFs and senior female clerks calling me "Mdm". The boss and my staffs are nice people, unlike the other Branches' peeps, so into politics - one thing which i deterred and still trying my best in avoiding it. Oh ya, one of my coursemate - Xiu ye, just joined my branch. Though we belong to the same dept, we dun even have the time to talk, as we are doing different matter. The 6 days' induction course is so fun and relaxed, gotta know quite a number of new friends from other depts / units. WE would juz gather tgt and gossip abt our boss/colleagues and also exchange pointers. Another 2 days to Pay Day !!!

Counting down .....

7 days Shopping Spree in Bangkok

Woohooo it's feels good to be home sweet home !!!

Was away in Bangkok since 15th, it was a planned trip with my boy and his family; with my bf as the tour guide. Haha =P checked into a no star hotel named "First House Hotel" , booked from Asiarooms website. It was considered as having the cheapest room rates at $17/night/pax (inclusive of breakfast). First night arrived there, had some supper from 7-11 and rested early.

Second day, first visit to Siam Paragon, the most extravagant shopping mall in Bangkok, almost similar to Sing's Paragon - it has all the imported brands and expensive stuffs here. After which, went to Big-C shopping mall, which has the biggest hypermart in which i bought lots of green curry and tom yam paste from there. Lolz... had the first meal at the food centre there . Realised that one food court contains varieties of food , ranging from Thai to Japanese food; price is reasonable - from 30 to 80 baht (converting based on $1 to 23 baht , so it's abt $1.20 - $3.50). Then went to have dessert at Swesen which only sells ice-cream, with no main courses. But it's cheap - Imagine a 8 scoops EARTHQUAKE at only $11 ??? Then we headed for Hard Rock Cafe at Siam Square, which was also some distance away from my hotel , walked for about 20 mins. Ordered the famous Nachos and pork knuckles and beer !!! We 6 spent about 2000 baht in all . Yummy ~~~

Third Day (Sat) headed to Chatuchak , weekend market. Went there by 3 taxis , costing about 100 bahts per taxi. The market is damn big and crowded, with Ang Mohs and locals. Spent quite alot there, and i love the milk tea they sell there, will miss it when i am. Then to MBK for shopping. Found some bargins over here, love the people there, a friendly lot. Spent the remaining evening at Platinum Mall for shopping.

Fourth Day, headed to Grand Palace and Wat Po. Entrance fee to GP was 250 baht and FOC for Wat Po. The place was magnificent, with gold trimmed border and columns plated with gold. Then headed to Zen Central World, juz 15 mins walk from my hotel for lunch. After which, to Erawan Shrine for praying to the 4-faced Buddha. Spent the remaining hours at Platinum Mall for shopping again - since it's a 6 stories fashion mall.

Fifth Day, went to the "pasar Malam" areas juz below the hotel , i guessed if wanna finish the area , at least 8 hours ba ! The stuffs here are cheaper than all shopping malls, as they sell by wholesale - at least 3 pieces and above. There's this City Complex nearby which is a wholesale centre and i found lots of good bargins here , luckily din spent much at those big malls !!! Haha .... Sent my bf's family home and we rotted at a nearby shopping mall and had dinner at A&W.

6th Day was relaxing, since most of the places have been visited, so we decided to head to Siam Ocean World at Siam Paragon which was the largest underwater aquarium in Asia. The entrance fees (including 4-D movie and boat ride) was originally at 1190 baht , but as it was a tuesday, we only paid 675 baht. Frankly speaking, if u like underwater creatures, it is worth visiting !!!! Much bigger than Sentosa's.

Last day was spent on last minute shopping and also to experience the Foot Massage there. Felt sooooooooooooooo relaxed. The foot massage costs 200 baht for an hour session. The masseuse was Superb, made me wanna bring her home . Hahahaha ..... realli miss the massage, how i wish to go there again !!!!

Good bye, Bangkok .... Taiwan here i comes !!!!

NOTE : SO BURNT !!!

All pictures uploaded @ my MSN Space !

Good-BYE MR. Examinations

WOOHOO....!!!!!

Final paper ended todae .. what a great day it was. However, also developed some mixed feelings - suddenly like lose direction , as in , dunno what to do since no more study. Gotta start some serious planning soon =)

Went tried out the SAKAE restaurant newly opened in NTU, the service was pretty bad, ordered two dishes - Cheese Katsu Yaki and Grilled yaki , was asked to wait 3-10 mins, but ended up waiting 90 minutes for it. Qiaoli almost turned red. After lunch, we headed straight to town for some movie treats , caught "Definitely, Maybe" which launched a month ago. Not a bad movie with good plots. Waiting for IRONMAN & What happens in VEGAS to be launched.

Oh yeah ... the following section is for my blog reader =P
It was about a new acquainted "hi-bye" friend, labelled as A who pissed me off with all her ugly sides. For more info, would update u on MSN. Take Care.

ENJOY THE HOLS peeps ...
