Fainting~~

I think i almost faint today... why think only? Cos i didnt actually faint yet... Was feel giddy on the train and cannot stand properly.. In the end, I rushed down from the train at the next stop to sit down and take a few deep breaths... Feel so much better after that..

Mmmm... why do one faints ah? Anyway, it was a bad feeling and i hope i never have to experience it again :)

A break from work...

I was on a long break last week... Why? Cos i had my off days on last last Sunday and last Thursday and then I was on course from Monday to Wednesday... That means i didnt step into office for 5 whole days.. Yea~~ But now that I came back to work, i feel so sianz already.. hehehe..

Met up with Uncle ah beng on Sunday and he treated me to breakfast (brunch liao), ktv and pool... And he even bought me laopa bing from Hong Kong.. So gan dong wor... Anyway, i sucked in playing pool.. Dont want to play liao... Hmphz..


Lao Po Bing..


The logo is so cute...


Cutie wife cake?? Weird translation.. hehehe...

The course from Mon-Wed was quite okie.. Best thing was when teacher finished the lessons early and we will go to shop shop cos venue was in Orchard...


Cindy and me in class..


Saw this cute lamb at Taka.. Sharon taking a pic with it..

My turn liao..


See me blush cos got passerby stared at us taking pics...

Aiyoh, i wished got classes everyday... Maybe i should go back to school... Sighz..

Plastic is just plastic

I went for a facial on thursday... It was so painful (all those pimples on my nose being taken care of :p) that i was wondering why some gals will choose to have plastic surgery on themselves.. Ya, they had anesthetic during the surgery so they wont feel the pain.. But what about after that, when the anesthetic fades off... Isnt it painful? And you need to take care about your new chin or new nose.. Awfully troublesome, i will think..

Pan's Labyrinth

I went to watch the movie, "Pan's labyrinth" yesterday.. Basically, my eyes were fixed on the screen throughout, because if i dont, i will lose track of the whole thing since the language was in another language (Spanish?). Overall, it is a very simple film for me.. A plot set against the Spanish civil war and a female child set in the middle of it, using fantasy to escape the reality of life.

So in the end, was it just a fantasy or was it true? I hope it was real, for her sake.. And she herself had thought of it as real, anyway.. And she was happy when she left.. Sighz.. Now, if anyone can help me find the mp3 of the lullaby, "Nana Del Laberinto Del Fauno" in the movie? *Blink Blink* Thanks wor.. :p

女孩子和老爷爷

昨天上班时,看见一个年轻的女孩子和她老爷爷一起搭地铁.女孩子催着老爷爷要快一点而老爷爷也很努力的这么做.

忽然间觉得很感伤...因为自己从来没有跟我的爷爷奶奶见过面...仿佛生命里少了什么...真希望女孩子会懂得珍惜自己所拥有的.

咳........

Couple stuff

I suddenly have a thought... that if i had a boyfriend, i will force him to wear all those couple stuff when we started our relationship.. All the tees, rings, watches, socks..etc etc..

But being me, i probably will only wear it for a month or two and ended only he will be wearing it.. And I will turn back into being the non-fuss gal.. And then probably i will end the relationship and back to singlehood...

Sighz.. Where can i find a guy to keep me interested for a long loooooooooooooong time? He seemed to be nowhere.. :(

Blood Diamond

I got free ticket the other day to watch the movie, "Blood Diamond".




The story was based on the real situation in Africa in the 90s, where there were internal conflicts. The whole plot is very touching and i was totally captivated throughout the show.... That's how good it is.. Pls go and watch it if you are free.. It is really a very worthwhile film to spend your cash on...

Stupid gal..

i just realised how stupid i am.... I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IDD CALLS!!! Someone, pls guide me.. sob sobz..

Home..

I'm home... so tiring.. I hate the fact that it kept raining and raining... I miss Bangkok...

Off to the Land of Bombing...

Yea!! I'm using the free internet at the airport.. Going off for a short trip with my friends to the land of bombing.. Pls pray that i will return alive, in one piece, okie? Dont miss me.. will be home by thursday.. Till then, tata~~

Korea Trip 2006

WARNING!!!! Many pictures so may load awhile..

To those who are not aware, I recently joined a travel agency as a tour consultant... So i got my first chance to lead a tour to Korea last month.. I got to admit everything was a bit messy on the first day, during the check-in at the airport... I just wish to forget that shit liao.. Reached Korea on the morning of day 2..

Day 2
1st stop: Presidential Blue House


This is purely for some phototaking.. But sooooooo damn cold that everyone can only stand 15min in the open..

2nd stop: Kimchi Making..

Passengers get to make kimchi and dress in korean attires for phototaking...

3th stop: Dongdaemun Market
Blur little me didnt go shopping loh... Wasted.. Cos i was pestering the guide about some info mah..

After that, left the Seoul to take domestic flight to Jeju Island, where Koreans actually went for their honeymoon :p


My room in Jeju Oriental Hotel.. Super super spacious ah...

Day 3

1st stop: Yongduam Rock

It just looked like a pile of rocks to me, though i know it is formed due to volcano.. blah blah blah... Anyway, got a guy, who actually volunteered to help me take my picture (pardon the messy hair).. I think he was leading the other tour group as guide or photographer.. So cute loh... There, i was waiting for my passengers to finish and someone actually asked me.. Maybe he thought i am a tourist too? Heehee...


The guardians.. Said to be able to bless Korean women to have sons..

2nd stop: Green Tea Museum


Outside the Museum


Green Tea ice-cream that i had to buy myself.. Hmphz...

4th stop: Jeju Folk Village







Sorry for the weird smile... cos the sun is in my face and i was trying to self-take the pic.. Standing in front of the makeshift jail.. Heee :p

5th stop: Songsan Sunrise Peak


Instead of sunrise, we see sunset bah... Took 20mins to climb... It was very tiring but still okay, as compared to the ones i climbed in Malaysia.. haha..

Flushed from the climbing...
