Quick Flashback of 2010 before its Gone forever!

So its New Year Eve... last day of 2010!! Ask me! Ask me! Did I enjoyed 2010? Was it the best year? What was my achievement? Am I happy? I am gonna recall what I did over that 365 freaking days of year 2010.

The year did not start very well because I broke up with the love of my life in Dec 2009. So 2009 didn't end well and because I did not get over my love... 2010 did not start well.

To get over my heart break.... I've visited my sister dearest in Dubai in Feb 2010 and travelled to Egypt for holiday together. That was like a treat from her, air ticket, accomodation and almost everything. She always buys me big present for my birthday but this year was the biggest because she knows how hard it was for me... I love You Sis.. you are the best!! kissess

Even with that trip, I came back feeling empty again. I remember having to cry to my BFF sammie, for the whole 4 months until one day she asked me randomly if I still miss him. I realise I don't anymore. That is exactly 4 months later which is April! I smile in delight.

In retrospect, I recall dating a few guys along the way, Mr P not included cos he has given up on me! haha.. he is totally a nice guy but just not the one for me. Other guys that I've dated are not worth mentioning because they are but arseholes and totally not in my league. Sorry mate! Just freaking Fuck Off! *OOpss sorry for that vulgarities* haha

Sometime in June, I've developed a special friendship with Chris. She is one that I can easily open up to. We partied, we cried, we giwe share many things together. Never did I think I'll find another "Best" friend since the day Joan left. Its strange huh? Best friend ... should there be only 1 Best? Or should Best Friend always change? At different point of our life? In my opinion, people change, things change beyond our expectation, therefore, friends come and go, but best friend stays for good. If anyone should give up on the other, that person will not be consider a bestfriend. Best friend don't give up on each other, no matter how bad the situation is. Unless, she sleeps with your man! That's unforgiveable...

So yes, I've found another bestfriend and my bestfriend keeps to 2! I'm glad I am not such a bad friend afterall. =)

Love u Babe!! xoxo

Ever since we got closer, she is always there for me. No matter how late it might be. She was just there for me last night while I was feeling so down. Thanks Babe... You make me smile again!

Then in September, my love decided to visit me in Singapore and that's when my heart melt again. Why ? Tell me? I don't know... its just crazy sometimes I wanna kill him!

Haha, and after September, everything was good. I'm back with my love, went to the Netherlands twice and will be going to Shanghai to meet with him half way!

So how is year 2010 for me? I think there will never be one year that its all good. But as a positive individual, I prefer to remember the good, nice things than remembering crap that might happen along the way. Nothing is perfect, we don't live in wonderland. Its the real world so face it... there will be people that came into your life and hurt you. But we gotta stay strong and give it a good punch back! Ehhh.. I don't literally mean punch.. meant to say stand up, pull yourself back together and go on. Life is too short to remember the not so tasty past. I'll only remember the sweet things. That's all I need to die a sweet death.

I may not have start 2010 happily but I have surely end it happily. I'm back with my love and I've found a lovely friend! Love u all!! xoxo

So people, we are going into a brand new year.. 2011! Resolution? Hmmm.. I've never kept to mine... have you? But there is surely one thing I wanna do! To learn the Dutch Language! =)

Happy New Year Everyone!!

P.S. Faith is ... in the time of unknowing, its having faith that sees you through to the other side xx

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Oooooo...
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high.
There's a land that I heard of,
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly.
They fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I watch them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white.
The brightness of day and light, darkness of night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces of people passin' by.
I see friends shakin' hands, saying "How do you do!"
They're really sayin' "I love you."
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
Oooooo...

P.S. Dreams do come true.... *I super love this song*

Had A Rockin' Christmas @ Boiler!

Merry Christmas People!!!!

So its Christmas!! That for Singaporean.... its PARTY TIME! Generally, Singaporean are Chinese from a distance. We are not from China but we are Chinese living in a multi-cultural city - Singapore, with Indians, Malays, Chinese and also other races from all over the world. But our roots are chinese, therefore, we celebrate Chinese New Year as a big thing, almost like traditionally. Unfortunately... for me, I dislike Chinese New Year and also dislike the traditions that I had to follow. Not that I am trying to be "Ang Mo" but I have a life story to tell which I'd prefer to skip for now.

Back to Christmas... as I was saying.. christmas is not at all traditional in Singapore. Besides church goers that would visit the church and celebrate by dining and enjoying the fellowship of the fellow christians.... the buddist, hindus, malays.. they have fun during Christmas.. just plain partying and indulging on food! Totally no meaning behind it. Its just christmas, a time to party. Thats for the younger people. And they older folks would normally smile at it like an additional public holiday for rest.

But for the Europeans its a big thing. And from what I know, shops and pubs are closed and everyone will celebrate christmas at home with their family and love ones. No one is Clubbing! Everything is done at home...

And me.... being a Singaporean and living in Singapore... I've obviously Clubbed! Its not a compulsary thing to club but this year I decide I would party with my 2 best girlfriends, Sammie & Chris! I've been away more than 2 weeks and its really good to be able to wind down with them. Bliss!

The 3 Angels!

I enjoyed myself thoroughly. There was a point I couldnt control my tear on the 1st hour of Christmas Day. Sammie could see through my eyes that I wasn't happy no matter how much I tried to hide. She asked if I was okay. Although deep in me I know I wasnt ok... I told her I am fine with a smile. Then I asked: what do you think? Am I ok? She said: "No.. you are not ok!" Her replied send tears rolling down. I give her a hug and started tearing. Part of the reason why I teared was because I am missing my love real bad and honestly I am not happy. The main reason that set me tearing was because even though I havent speak with Sammie on a day to day basis... she could see through me. She read me without me telling her. She read me without me showing any signs of unhappiness. How can 1 person be dancing and smiling and yet be unhappy? But yes, I was... totally unhappy. I am really touched by the closeness between me and her... we don't have to speak... our hearts speaks to each other! And best of all, nothing change! This did not just happen... it has happen afew times. Its amazing and also scary to have someone that knows you so well! But I can only feel close to her... someone I can lean upon with my deepest secrets. Love u Babe!

Chris & Me - Love her Much!

Chris on the other hand was totally dead drunk by the end of the night. We had to literally carry her home. It hurts to see someone you love so much to be in a state like this. So yes, I felt a little sad to see her getting so wasted. Why must life be so hard? Ok... I know that's abit random for you but I won't elaborate! Well, Chris is also an angel, she will always be there for me when I needed her. And the best part of it, we love spending time together, we will sit at a kopitiam for 2 hours just chatting! Who can? Omg that sounds so "Uncle"! hahas... but yes, thats me and Chris, we chat non-stop, about anything under the sky and trust me.. its really everything! Silly jokes keeps us going... and relax our already wounded heart. So yes.. she is one I cant do without!

P.S. I am learning to "get used" to it now....

Good Bye Netherlands

Once again... I am leaving Netherlands... leaving the love of my life... not having a clue the changes that may take place in months to come. Yes I will be back but who can tell the future? No one can.

Uncertainty, depression and a total confusion of what lies ahead of me is flooding my already big brain. Thats alot to take... trust me. The phrase "What if" keeps ringing in my brain.. Not the best melody I look for.

I cannot control the tears from rolling down my cheeks, no matter how hard I try to wipe them away, my face is still wet. And all these? No one is here... not a single soul. I am on my own.

Its painful each time this happen and we are suppose to "get used to it"~! FML! Will I really see light at the end of the tunnel? Is there really light waiting right there for me? Is it going to be a happy ending? Or am I only living my dream and someday I will be awake?


I have no intention to give up... not after what we went through. Not when I know this is the life i wanted. I know I will fight this and it doesn't matter if I lose in the end. Doesnt matter if there isnt a light at the end of the tunnel. Doesn't matter if there is no happy ending. Living a dream so be it.

Good bye me love... Ik hou van je xoxo

P.S. If we don't make it.... at least we were once there.

Into the Wild - The movie

I was watching the movie "Into the Wild" on TV while in Holland with my love. I am a non-fiction freak... fictions are for entertainment and non-fictions are usually motivational and inspiring... so I prefer reading books or watching movies that are non-fiction.

This movie is perfect for me, its motivational , inspiring and most of all a true story of a young man that walked out of his privileged life and went into the wild in search of adventure. What happened to him on the way transformed this young wanderer into an enduring symbol for countless people. Was Christopher McCandless a heroic adventurer or a naive idealist, a rebellious 1990s Thoreau or another lost American?

I almost teared at the end of the movie when Christopher died. He was just pursuing his dream. But what makes it heart warming was the last note he wrote before dying - "I've had a happy life, thank the lord. Good Bye and may god bless all." He died with no regrets.

Christopher McCandless
Just before he died.

I watched with intense and totally inspired by the courage he had leaving his family to live in the wild surviving on whatever that may come..... it inspires on how one should live their dream and not dream their life. Living in a comfort zone does not necessary brings one happiness.

To me... Christopher is a heroic, he dares to dream and he dares to pursue. Some might feels he is out of his mind to even think he could survive with nothing. But along his journey of 2 years, he live... a life! A full ideal life in his context and that's what life is.

Some beautiful quotes from the movie that inspired me:-

"I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong." - Chris McCandless

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."— Chris McCandless

"Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past."— Chris McCandless

"The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences."— Chris McCandless

"If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed."— Chris McCandless

"Happiness only real when shared" - Chris McCandless

"...henceforth will learn to accept my errors, however great they be..."— Chris McCandless' journal from Alaska, written weeks before he died

I admired his bravery and adventurous spirit. Not many can be like him but the least we could do is to pursue life, live our dream and not wait for things to happen.

He inspired me.... I hope he would to many people out there.

P.S. If you want something in Life.... reach out and grab it! xx

Boring and Boring Don't Mix! LOL

Was browsing through some blogs and chanced upon this subject on Dutchmen. I had a good laugh but beg to differs. I am in love with one and I am having the best time of my life!


Just read on and laugh it off..... its funny! haha


Dutch Men

The thought of writing an entire chapter on Dutch men made us cringe because there's not a whole heck of a lot to say about these boys. They're not bad guys, they're just boring.

Strong points: well-educated, open-minded and kind. Weak points: everything else.
(That is so judgemental! haha)


Grab a Dutch boy and make him your best friend. If you make him your boyfriend, you're in for some serious frustration. Dutch men don't understand passion, romance or excitement. They lack imagination and fail to understand the fine art of present-giving.


My View : Stereo-typing much? I don't believe only Dutchmen are like that, its really dependent on the guy's upbringing and character. Talked about understanding passion, romance or excitement... I don't think many Singaporean guys are up to it too. But of course, there will be some that are. So.... do not stereo-type a dutchmen. Mine is a sweet thing!


Four Insights into Dutch Culture

Dutch Dogs
The Dutch treat every living animal well - dogs included.
(I think they loves cats... almost every household has a cat!)

Dutch Driving
The Dutch are courteous drivers and can most often be found pedaling around courteously on a bicycle.
(This I totally agreee.)

Dutch Time Telling Abilities
Sure, the Dutch can tell time. They're respectful to appointments and try to be punctual.
(And early evening is after 8pm! Got really mad with my love when he tells me he is coming early evening and only reach at 830!)

Useful Dutch Phrases (He Speaks English Better Than You Do)
What You'll Want To Say: How To Say It:

I don't want to date you. I'm not interested in a relationship right now.
I really don't want to date you. I have a boyfriend at home.

I really, really don't want to date you. Nothing against you: I'm a lesbian.

(Use it on any guy and it will still work!)


How to Meet Him?
The prostitutes in the display windows in the red light district are there for the tourists. You're not going to find a Dutch man there. The coffee shops are there for the tourists as well. Only something crazy like 5% of Dutch people use marijuana on a regular basis, so you're not going to find him there either. Being the nice guy he is, you'll probably find him in a nursing home. He'll be donating his time reading erotic poetry to old ladies.
(Now this is true about the prostitutes and coffeeshop but nursing home? Thats a joke!)

Tips for the Date
Don't expect your date to come up with some fabulous idea for a night out. Grab your city guide and come up with your own agenda. Bring your wallet because you'll be "going Dutch."
(Doesnt really matter does it?)

Impressing His Mother
His mother is a loving, caring person and she'll like you no matter who you are.
(I think she likes me.... lol)

Dutch Girl Competition

Dutch girls are just as nice and ordinary as Dutch boys. Boring and boring don't mix, so the girls are probably out looking for some French guy to blow smoke in their face or some German guy to tell them something isn't possible. So if you're after that Dutch stud, don't worry about any Dutch girls. They're not competing.

(Now this is funny! But surely.... not true.)

When You Want Him to Go Away
When you're ready to leave him, you're going to break his nice, little heart. Be gentle and remember you're ruining him for life.
(You will never leave a dutchie! Lovesss!!)

P.S. Strange how I am beginning to feel the pain of leaving.

Hotel + Me = Hot Me!

Once again... back in my hotel room in Amsterdam.

Its strange how I'd wanted so much to be here in the Netherlands to be with my love and realise afterall, I don't belong here. This is not home. I don't have a clue where to go besides going back to the hotel, walk past that hottie at the reception who will normally say HI. I don't have an idea who I should hang up with... should I start flirting with that waiter at the bar and maybe he can take me out when he is off duty? lol.. that won't happen! Or maybe hang out with my colleage - Sjaak who is more than happy to bring me out? He likes me. :) Or Worst, dream of what will mum be cooking for dinner tonight. All this won't happen and this has been for over a week now.

I finish work everyday to come back to a empty hotel room. First, I put on the kettle to have some hot water for a cup of hot tea, turn on my laptop to finish off my emails so my Singapore office can hear from me the next day and log on to facebook, twitter and surf the internet abit for any new happening. Then when I start feeling a little hungry, I'd turn and stare at that cup noodle waiting to be eaten by me. My love bought me 3 more so I can last the week... how sweet? Turn on that kettle again for some more hot water and heat that noodle up so I can just fill that tummy to stop it from groaning. Thats all I wanted, not that I am so into cup noodles.,.. I never eat them when I am back in Singapore. yucks.. I think I will do without cup noodles for the next 1 year after this!

And then I would shower... turn on the TV and doze off! Yes... nice? Whatever this is.... I am not in love with a life like this. Craps.. my friends are out drinking @ KPO and here I am... bloggin? lol

I reckon my family, my friends are back in Singapore and maybe thats really where I should be. When I need to cry... a phone call and my best friend will be at my door waiting for me to wail and moans over her shoulder. Now, I need to cry and that soft pillow lying on that bed right there would try to absorb that tears from my eyes if it manage.

Hilde is coming to bring me out tomorrow and that is really sweet of her. I am totally looking forward to that. At least it keeps me busy but imposing on anyone is the last thing I will do. I hate people imposing on me and I will not impose on anyone.

I am not complaining he is not spending time with me...he has a life here, just not with me. I am not his life, not yet, may never be. I am just not sure anymore... maybe its only a dream in reality that someday I'll wake and smile at the beauty of the sweetest memories we shared.

hahaha... I think I can write a book.. ever wonder how a love story like this would end? I wonder.....

P.S. Tears are words that the heart cannot express. xo

Dutch and Sinterklaas

I fell in love with a Dutch Man... and so I am suppose to be half Dutch! So I am suppose to learn about the Dutch Language, Culture, history etc... trust me this is hell alot of work! I am not complaining but I wonder why these Dutchie makes life so difficult! *Cry*


If ever I want to marry to a dutch man.... I have to first learn and pass the Dutch Language Examination and has to be endorsed by the embassy! OMG.. I have to declare the Dutch Language is probably the most difficult language in the world just as bad as Chinese which I failed ... big time. Again I am not complaining... just nagging! haha.. I will make it... If I want to... I know I can... so for a start lets do the common greetings *yawns*

Goedemorgen which means Good Morning

Goedemiddag which means Good Afternoon

Goedenavond which means Good Evening

Ok be nice... I know these are too simple for a big brain like mine but I am trying!

And then.... I learn from love that they were celebrating some kind of "Sinterklaas" which is similar to Xmas like exchanging gifts but no its not xmas. Its a typical dutch tradition

Who was this Sinterklaas?

At the start, Sinterklaas was a real person. He was born in the 4th century in Myra, Asia Minor, where he became a bishop as a grown man. Little else is known about him—except that he loved children.

A story is told about Sinterklaas to illustrate this point. It is said that three little boys dined at a restaurant and, after eating their fill, informed the innkeeper that they could not pay their bill. To exact payment, the innkeeper chopped them up into little bits and cooked them in a stew.
Nicholas heard about the awful deed and came to the inn to find the boys boiling away in the pot. He told the innkeeper that if he, Nicholas, could find one little piece of each boy that was good, he would perform a miracle and bring them him back to life. Now, what child does not have at least one little piece of good in him? And, so Sinterklaas returned the boys to life and took them into his care.

There is also the story of the three poor sisters. They were the beautiful daughters of a poor peasant. The first was very blonde, the second had raven black hair, and the third wore auburn tresses. When they grew up they fell in love with three pleasant young men. But the sisters could not get married because they had no dowry. That made them very sad. One night, as Sinterklaas was out riding, he looked through a window and saw three lovely, but sad sisters. And he heard why they could not marry the young men of their choice. He went back to his palace and gave the Grumpus three little bags. In each were a hundred golden ducats. He asked the Grumpus to drop the little bags into the girls' shoes, and an hour later they were rich. They married the three nice young men and lived happily ever after!

To this day children leave a carrot in their shoes hoping to attract Sinterklaas' attention and reward. Since then Sinterklaas (or St. Nicholas as he is also known) has become known as the patron saint of unwed maidens.

And so, the day I arrived in Holland 6th December 2010... was a day after Sinterklaas... my love bought me so many little gifts and I enjoyed every bit opening the little pressies... opening pressie is always a kid thing and once again I feel like a kid! Love it!!

Candilicious Candy!!

Death

Was on my way back from Dubai to Singapore.. took the Straits Times while on board and was reading the papers as I always would. While flipping through... I chance upon the obituary page... there was this person by the name of Alex Tham... I took a second look to realise he is one of my friend! I might not know him very well but seeing his face on the obituary page just send chills down my spine.... questions came flashing throught my mind.. What happen? Why Him? He is too young! How cruel! Oh dear god.. why must this happen to someone so young.

So surely, my flight journey back was not a peaceful one. My mind was full of him. Suddenly, I regret not communicating with him more. I regret not taking time to find out more about him. But nothing I do now will help with the regrets I have. I can only live with remorse.

I wanna positively think... Death is not scary... but when it happen to someone you know or even yourself. It just triggers fear. So yes, I think death is not scary. But death to a person this young? It just doesnt make any sense? So tell me.... why him? Cheerful and positive 20yrs old chap but has to give up the chance to live because of an accident. This is scary especially when you are not prepared to go yet.. not just yet.

So Death... is it the end? And if death is the end and we know not when we will die, so shouldnt we live to the fullest while we are alive. How do one consider their life is at the fullest then? If every minute we are alive we are closer to death.... then that only means we need to live to the fullest every minute of our life.

To live life to the fullest, one needs to be happy. Pursue happiness and have no regrets, no expectation for anything in return. Do good and dont expect to be repay... life will be alot simpler and alot happier. Smile at the smallest achievement, appreciation of everything around us. Condemnation brings negative thoughts.. positive thoughts brings positive energy. Be happy your love one is around. Live in content! That's life.. a full life.

Rest In Peace Alex.. You are now in safe hands...

P.S. As a well spent day bring happy sleep... a well spent life bring happy death. xx

Ski Dubai Day 4 - Now I am addicted!

Went to SKI Dubai once again. What else can I do if I so hate to go under the sun? I had to be in A/C like all the time.... I feel like I was going to melt anytime.. everytime I see the Dubai Sun. They are ferocious! hahas.. seriously... I think the Sun was going to eat me up!

So... to the mall again.. first check out ski lesson timing, booked, pay and be a mall rat until the lesson start. Shopping mall in Dubai are always massive, thus I gotta be sure I know how to walk back to Ski-Dubai and be back on time.

I signed up for a group lesson... but I happen to be the only one in the group so I sorta had a private lesson! How cool is that? LOL... love the attention! I have also a pretty cool instructor.. cool as in really patience with a complete idiot to ski-ing! One like me...it definately takes alot of patience. Now.. i need more time on that slope! At the end of the lesson.... I manage to turn on a slope! cool! (*Hey... I am not a pro so please give me credit.. its only the 2nd time on that ski)

My Ski Instructor - Hussein.
(He thinks I am Pretty! Thanks for that compliment dude!)

Also spoke to farmerboy today after my ski.... omg... speaking to him is forever refreshing. Just feels so good each time we speak and I hate to hang up but considering the "$" meter increasing... I have to painfully say good bye!

P.S. I need a plan! Miss you luv! See ya real soon! xoxo

Dubai UAE, Day 3 @ Ski Dubai

Never ski-ed before although I once attempted to during my trip to Switzerland but on that faithful day I fell totally ill. Ok that sucks and now I just have to try the indoor ski in Dubai since I am here in Sunny Dubai.

First thing first, queing up for the ski gears, the boots, ski etc are quite a hassle. And then putting them on! I took like forever and I thought I look seriously clumpsy, haha. But really its all worth it when you land yourself on that slope.. you know its nothing but fun! And farmerboy was right, after today, I won't be the same anymore. Now, I wanna go back for more slope fun... its exciting and thrilling and most of all... FUN! Hmm Didnt take many photos since its my first time and I thought I might not be able to handle a camera... now I think i can handle more.

For more information on Ski Dubai.. check out www.skidxb.com

Here are some photos to sign out with... sorry for the lousy quality, taken from my BB and totally not photo-shopped! hahas

Dubai, UAE Day 2

Its day 2 waking up in Dubai on the huge guestroom bed. Slept @ 10pm and woke up at 3.38 am this morning which tells me I have not got over the jet-lagged. Wonder why everyone else is not having jet-lagged besides me! *cry*. Force myself back into sleep and woke up at 6am. The sky is still dark and the cold air seems to me the best tempreture I would ever asked for. Took a deep breath and smell the air... I could only say.. its heaven! Dubai has the best weather at this time of the year.. the beauty of having sun with cold breeze.

I kept telling myself I should blog about my trip in Dubai but each time when night falls.... my brain seems to totally shut down and my eye-lid feels week. The huge bed would always be calling out to me. I am so not getting over this jet-lag and its frustrating. And the worst part is, like now, when I decided to blog... my mind is empty!! I cannot think of what to blog about. Sorry man... I am trying my best here!

Let me recall............ First the wild Wadi park ! Yes that was superb. Surprisingly, I enjoyed every part of the park and the rides are totally safe for young children. The one thing I realise is there are just so many lifeguards guarding the whole park and these lifeguards are very alert and attentive to the happenings around them. It just makes me feel so safe.. honestly.

The price for entry is at AED 200 per pax for adults above 1.1metre. (As stated on the website) Gosh... which adult don 't stand over 1.1metre? Or do they mean, even kids standing above 1.1metre has to pay an adult fare? Anyways, for AED200 which is about SGD76.. I think its totally worthwhile. This is far better than singapore's wild wild wet.. duhz! sorry Singaporean!!

To find out more go check out http://www.wildwadidubai.com/. Totally worth a visit if you happen to be in Dubai for holiday!

Totally drained after the Wild Wadi Park but! Happy Thanksgiving!! To the Americans! My brother in law happen to be an american, so feasting and celebrating on Thanksgiving is a must. Its been years since the last I had dinner with my sis and brother in law for thanksgiving. We had of course Baked Turkey and Potatoes for dinner, carrot and salad on the side and ends with a pumpkin pie top with ice-cream! Yummy to the max. Enjoyed the food, the company and the laugther! The boys had so much fun too!

I'll end this post with a few photo shots taken while playing with the kids.... *i really think I am quite a good playmate if I wanna be* lol

Shopping and More Shopping!

Alright, this is so not it. I've been shopping myself dry.. just like a vampire sucking me dry. But then again, what is life without shopping? Its a girlie thing.. its commonly know as the retail therapy that makes the girls happy! And really... guys will never get it.

What is life when there is no beauty? So yes, if you know how to make that bucks then pamper yourself once in a while and I really mean... just freaking buy that pretty heels, gorgeous dress and lovely bag! You deserve it girl! =)

P.S. The truth fact of this post is to defend myself of being such a shopaholic! Too bored! *cry*

New Look Boots

From New Look @ T1 for SGD89.00 (cheap to the max!)

New Look is a retail outlet orginate from the UK and they are now in Singapore! I really think their boots are "chio" to the max and at a reasonable price. I've not been able to find a proper nice dress from the shop though. I was surfing their UK website (http://www.newlook.com/) and found this dress that makes me drool! So pretty I can die for it! hahas.. abit over-exaggerate here! But check it out>

When we shop ... we get tired... so we eat... and we drink and be merry. I was going to blog about this Bakery Shop @ Centrepoint that my friend Michelle brought me to. Its a tiny shop selling design cupcakes! Its called "The Designer Bakes". Totally cute design on the cupcakes... check it out... Super Cute but but but these cup cakes are not meant to be eaten! Gosh.. its so damn sweet, I feel my teeth will delay in the same instant! So I would only recommend it for a gift and put a warning sign "NOT TO BE EATEN xoxo"

Just received a text from Michelle > "I saw a chio boots in berksha! Nice.. in brown"

My Reply > "how much? I just bought a boots @ New Look!"

She Replied > "SGD175, not leather but design is very nice!"

My reply? "I am Broke!"

So yes.. I need to stop shopping and recuperate! But before that.... I still need to buy something very special. This is important, so I have excuse to shop again!!! lol

Gonna go take a nap.. this weather is too good to go out... raining and stormy in Sunny Singapore yo!

Lovess & Bye!

P.S. Love of my Life... Do u? xx

Mid Week Holiday!

Its a holiday eve... so what do we do?? Party!! Ehhh, nah.. enough of partying. I should be chilling @ home!! Noooo... boringggg! I should go shopping!! Yes Yes! Best of all.. eating and shopping with a good old pal, Michelle... its been awhile! Thanks Babe.. enjoyed every bit of it! Had a Good time, gluttoning, gossiping, laughing and best of all... shopping!

And I got myself a ............ CAP from Esprit. Its so cheap, its almost a steal! Esprit cap @ S$ 7.90?

How do I look? :P

Then my phone rings and I pick it up in 1 ring! Pro much? hahas..That's because its a overseas call from my optimus prime... warning me of Snipers! lol xx

Its always so good to hear from someone so positive, so cheery and so happy. Even though he must be so tired with meetings after meetings.. his energy never fails to charm me. And best part is I'm attached to this champion! How good can life be? awesome! love to bits.

Therefore, I relate those that are always grumpy, whiny and negative as loser. Life is a bed of roses. We can see it as pretty bed of roses or full of thorns that hurts. Its our choice. So what if there are thorns, do we sit and cry? or stay postitive and make the best out of every situation we are in? We have a choice to choose our thoughts, just the way we choose our lingerie!! ;)

Bed Time! Loves Lots~

P.S. Pumpkin misses Farmerboy!! xx

Girls Night Out!!

Its been for a while since I get all enthusiatics about a girls night out. It must have been a long time since I have one anyway. So yes.. I was really looking forward to it. So the plan was first to KPO.. then to Boiler Room @ St James Power House.

KPO was neat fun... 3 girls drinking beer, giggling, laughing and trust me we gals look hmmm hot! I would be lying if I said there was no guys approaching us and kick up a chat. We have, infact a good handful. The deal between us was not to reveal our contact numbers. We are to have fun and go home. No contact after because all 3 of us have boyfriends. And mine of course - my farmerboy.. of which I love very much. Wouldn't allow any disruption to our relationship.

As always, being the driver of the night, I'm suppose to behave and not over drink. So 2 mug was all I had. By the time we decide to head to the Boiler room.... we are already feeling tipsy. OK I should say... I am the sober one. =)

We walked to the car, holding hands. Its quite a sight! sexy! As a matter of fact, all 3 of us have a love story to tell. We have the love of our life. Good and Bad.

While walking, Chris start rattling non-stop about her ex-boyfriend. How she hated him for the things he does. Content should be sensored here... =) Well, she is obviously not getting over him despite the fact she claim to be interested in Darren (the guy she just met @ KPO) at the same time. Awww, poor girl!

Sammie cannot stop laughing, I don't know why? She said something which I pondered upon. "Why are we so discipline? I should have just given my number to Danny! But I still love Chin Kin" hmmmm.... Discipline?

The plan was to go crazy just dancing at Boiler Room but the fun ended when Chris bumped into her ex-boyfriend and started getting all emotional. If you asked me.... its dramatic but no.. no details.

The episode with Chris and her Ex set me thinking... why is there hurt when there is clearly love? To love someone is never to hurt them... so does it mean if there is hurt, its then not love? Thought for the day! haha

P.S. Ski-ing Trip! I hearts Optimus Prime!! xoxo

When Night Falls

I wonder if you feels the same when night falls. For me, its clear.. my mind and thoughts is full of you and I only wish I could take a flight out to see you right now and cuddle under your big and strong arms. I realise taking a flight of 13hours doesnt seem at all long especially when I am seeing someone I truely love. But that isnt possible and it makes me sad.

I've finished reading the book - true love. It ends with a line like this:

"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

This sentence means alot to me. To be honest, I am feeling a little negative today. I am worried, totally in fear that I might lose him once again. I fear the day he start texting lesser, call lesser and gradually says this is not going to work. I've complete faith in myself that I would hang on, no matter what. But because he has given up on me before, I kinda feel shaken once in a while.

We have come a long way. A big round and we are back together again. So what is this? Fate? Who on earth believes in fate? Love? Then again... what then is love? Love is a total mystery to me.

I remember totally losing the feeling of falling in love. But when I met you, I know its love. Love at first sight? its like a fairytale... unbelievable huh? How can it be untrue if I feels strongly since the day we met. Its been a year.. still no one can replace what you meant to me.

I'll say my prayer every night : "If god will, please promise a happy ending!"

P.S. I love you

Hi World! I am wide awake!

Hi World... I am totally... completely... absolutely.. wide awake!

At 11pm.. I'd started to feel alittle drowsy and I'd thought Its a good sign and I should be able to sleep throughout the night. But I was so wrong.... waking up at 12am and started tossing on bed and here I am bloggin! This feeling really sucks.. especially when everyone else is snoring!!

OK.. my farmerboy is working hard but he is so far away! =(

Farmerboy knows I love reading novels, we have spoken about a novel he read written by a famous dutch novelist sometime last year when he was in sin. The book is in Dutch language, he was narrating on the story abit and I did not take much notice on content. I prefer reading them myself. So my sweetie Farmerboy got me the same book in english language from some internet webby and gave me a copy.


OK, I am just going to cut and paste the rough introduction of the story line coz I am just so lazy and farmerboy thinks I should be in bed soon. So here it goes:

A deeply moving novel in the same vein as Eric Segal's classic weepy, Love Story...Dan and Carmen are hip, healthy and wealthy. They have their own companies, plenty of money and friends and are the proud parents of one year-old Luna. They live the cool life in Amsterdam, until beautiful and optimistic Carmen is diagnosed with breast cancer. With that their world transforms into a roller-coaster ride of doctors and hospitals. As his way of coping, the hedonistic Dan faithfully accompanies Carmen to her chemo and radiotherapy treatments, but spends his nocturnal hours crazily immersed in the nightlife and women of Amsterdam and Miami.

Love Life is the account of a relationship and a terminal illness, devoid of fake sentiment and told with humour and deep humanity. And it is very much an ode to love. 'A wonderful novel about courage, helplessness and real love'

I am half way through the book but I've cried umpteen times. The simple fact of this book being a truth story just touches my heart. The ugly truth on how honest a man like Ray Kluun that has no shame but guilt when writing the truth of his infidelity throughtout his marriage with his cancered wife. Having the courage to published the book in Holland and then sold them worldwide. Reader like me; a woman, would hate him for all the dirty acts he did and his betrayal to his wife who is sadly battling cancer. Reader like Farmerboy; a man, don't agree with him but understand well why he has to do what he has to do.

This story touches my heart and will leaves a memory with me for a very long time. If anyone be interested in true love story... I would highly recommend this book!

P.S. Thanks Farmerboy for the book! xoxo

In Amsterdam and loving it!

I'll have another full day tomorrow in Holland and I'll be back in Singapore. I am so not ready to go home. I needed more time, I wanna spend more time with my farmerboy! =(

I've come to realise, there will always be many people that will come into your lives, but only a few will make an impact and hardly any will stay behind. Its just like a filtering systems. I've met like 12 new friends or I should say aquaintance over this trip. Met a few Singaporean and some Dutchie as well. On Surface, most of us manage to get along pretty well. But as a matter of fact, there are clearly some that click better than another.

So yea... I have my click too!! Strangely this click are not those from the same company I worked with. I've made 2 new friend and we clicked instantly. Very naturally and sincere, I like that feel. I feel really comfortable with them, not one that I would feel so instantly on normal cases.

Vanessa & Me

(She is simply adorable!)

Wee & Me
(He is the Best Model Husband in Town)

So yes, the 2 friends I found specifically sincere and easy going are Vanessa & Wee. I get along with them instantly and find it easy to share my thoughts. Its really a joy to have meet them.

Vanessa is always bubbly and really easy to hang out with. She would shop and walk with me even though it was not in her agenda.

Wee is also easy-going and she is a total SUper Husband model. If there is a Best HUsband contest, I would surely vote for him. Every where he go, he thinks of his wife. He even bought a LV hangbag costing EUR1000 for her! He is such a sweetheart. Also, he is truely gentlemanly, never forget to spare a thought for us, the two ladies that is walking side by side with him. hahas. Real nice chap!

Honestly, I love Holland... I really wouldnt mind living here for good. Reason is simple... I love my Farmerboy!! hehe.. xoxo
