I have finally..

bought a car and can call it my very own ride..

I can't wait! It will be here on September.. haiz.. cant wait cant wait cant wait..!

No more complaining about not being able to find a cab during peak hours.. no more frowning cuz of the various body odours in MRT.. no more worrying about sudden down pours..

I was praying for a new car for about two weeks exactly.. I was in a crowded train on my way to work and God spoke to me saying I will be driving real soon. So that I wont be late to church anymore when it rains and I will be able to ferry my brother and my baby together to church... :) cuz i was kinda worried that when my brother comes, i wont be able to bring him to church together since we only have two wheels... And my bro is not a big fan of hot weather so he will surely give all the excuses not to go church..

and indeed I am so favored by God he has given me one.. i prayed "Thank you daddy for giving me a Lexus" even I didn't have one on hand.. I had already thanked him because I believed he will give me one as he promised :P
Then two nights ago, on Friday my dad called.. Told me to get a car the next day.
So on Saturday with john and kel we went car shopping.. and voila.. I ordered the car. And today I got the check ready, passed to the dealer - a new found friend and now I am waiting for September..

and no God didnt get me a Lexus because he knows it is my first car, so Lexus is a too big a burden (though believe it or not my mom told me to buy a Lexus instead..!).. So he got me a cute chic sporty one..

It's Toyota Rush in white!! woo hoo!!

I look so good in it, on it, under (havent tried but I am very sure!) it!



Wake me up when September comes...

How Great is our God

My Favourite song for many years since FCBC days to now NCC... which is in my head everyday nowadays. and brings tears to my eyes whenever i sing this because i feel so much love for him and him for me.
Even how many times i fail him, he has already forgiven me even before i blurt out the "fxxx" word :P
He has provided me with so much blessings and more supernatural blessings to come.. I am so favored by him, my daddy!

And somehow my most beautiful God-niece's mommy knew it (it's daddy's doing!) and gave me the Hillsong CD for my long waited xmas present together w my birthday present.. :)

I just had to share this beautiful words with u all ;)

God bless..

=======

VERSE(1):
The splendor of the King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

CHORUS(2)
Name above all names
You are Worthy of our praise
and My heart will sing how great
Is our God

my 29th Birthday!

yes.. I have finally hit 29.. but it is not as bad as i thought.. :)
I am looking forward to 30 actually.. as most of my friends who have reached the 30s tell me that once you reach 30, life is better and you look forward to be 40.. :P

Not sure if 29 is a special number, but I received so many wishes via smses and emails..

Also lovely gifts.. Maybe because i have just moved to a new place, most of my prezzies were for my new home. And i love em! they are all purrfect for my new home deco.. thanks thanks thanks million thanks!

Soon i will have open house :)

So here is what I have been doing..

Friday the 13th.. drunk at zouk... and I called the taxi driver Jon (sharen's bf).. My bf gave up on me :p


Saturday the 14th.. Lovely dinner at French Stall and midnight shopping at Mustafa!


Sunday the 15th.. Pastor Prince is back with another blessed sermon.. and BIG dinner with giant steam crabs ... cake! and i specially love the ..ahem.. candle..


the actual day 16th.. a day off with my darling boyfriend.. :) and yes i am trying to teach crayon how to blow a candle.. but looks like she is flaming from the nose.. :P

our beloved Neo's birthday!

It was ah-neo's 28th birthday! :D

Another occassion for all our ex-blues to meet up.. It is so cool that all of us are still in contact and still close.. (5 clowns missing from pic - tam, mar, caro and robin, yew)

it was fun! and the movie present we gave to ah neo was Transformers.. and it was gooood! fantastic! wanna watch it again..

Goodbye Bayshore!

Been here exactly 2 years and 3 months now.. and is time to fly..

It was fun.. lots of memories..

Is just seems like yesterday when i moved in!!

When i got all my ex-blue colleagues to come and help me move and they really fit the bill! from unpacking, throwing away the boxes to cleaning up the kitchen! you know who you all are.... :D

during my 27 months stay here, i used the bayshore gym once. Eaten at the cafeteria about 6 times. Had bbq twice. Hosted drunken people couple of times. House parties handful times, dinner party (which i actually cooked for people!) 3 times.

Oh man, I am gonna miss this place!

Now i leave this place to a much bigger 3 bedroom apartment to house more boxes of shoes, too many bags, more clothes, a fatten up cat, and additional i-killed-the-barney couch...

till then... cheerios bayshore!

sounds familiar?

MATHEMATICAL VIEWPOINT

THIS IS STRICTLY MATHEMATICAL VIEWPOINT ~ IT GOES LIKE THIS:

WHAT MAKES 100%? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GIVE MORE THAN 100%?
EVER WONDER ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE GIVING MORE THAN 100%?
WE HAVE ALL BEEN TO THOSE MEETINGS WHERE SOMEONE WANTS TO GIVE OVER 100%.
HOW ABOUT ACHIEVING 103%?
WHAT MAKES 100 % OF LIFE?

HERE'S A LITTLE MATHEMATICAL FORMULAE THAT MIGHT HELP YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

IF:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

IS REPRESENTED AS:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

THEN:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= 98%

AND
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96%

BUT
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5= 100%

AND,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20= 103%

AND LOOK HOW FAR ASS KISSING WILL TAKE YOU.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7= 118%

SO, ONE CAN CERTAINLY CONCLUDE WITH MATHEMATICAL CERTAINTY THAT WHILE HARD WORK AND KNOWLEDGE WILL GET YOU CLOSE, AND ATTITUDE WILL GET YOU THERE, IT'S BULLSHIT AND ASS KISSING THAT WILL PUT YOU OVER THE TOP.

Year end holiday!

It is mid year and me and my friends have already planned our new year holiday...
We have booked and paid the villa a month ago and now we are sourcing for air tickets.

We are heading to Bali on 29th Dec - 3rd Jan '08.

it is a bit kiasu to plan a holiday so ahead but, i think we all deserve to have something to look forward to! :) A new year in Bali!

and now.. i can't barely wait!

hope that we will still be friends till year end... ;P
Probably we will be so overdosed with one another that by the time we come back, we will not see eachother for a month. haha

its mid year!

Gosh.. time sure flies.. it is already June!
It is just so scary!

I hate to admit it.. but yes, my life evolves around my work... haiz!

end of the day having someone who loves me besides me, and my cats greeting me when i get home - that makes everything alright..

So it will be another blessed week ahead! Though how tough the work is or how much workload I have, it will be indeed a blessed week again since I have all I need and all I want that makes me happy and makes me going. and that makes a purfect day everyday..

cheers!!

Takuya ..

The new Gatsby commercials just cracks me up..
I mean he indeed still looks so gooooood... but he is ahem.... not very "alpha male" i should say..

Check this Japan Gatsby site out.. there is lot more of his commercials.. and uncensored version..


preview here..

smack that!

It was still ok when I tried to open the toilet door and cursing out loud who locked the bloody damn door.. after few seconds of cursing, realise i have the key on my other hand..

It was still understandable when i reached office and cursing again why isnt the door opening and realise I didnt scan my access card..

It was still acceptable when i was trying to open the office door using the password and thinking fuck the office door doesnt work again! and a colleague behind you asks "what # is that?" and realise it is my atm password..

But you know you have totally lost it, when you are looking for the seat belt at the cinema and thinking howcome my seat doesnt come with one??

hmmmmm.....
Thank God I only have to work 4 days this week!!

this is fun!

both using diff pix have ann kok.. but i dont find any similarities with me..!

what was i up to?

Was a busy week last two weeks...

First, it was my baby's "supposed surprise" birthday party.. yes was supposed to be a surprise but end up spilling it all :P
I am so bad at keeping surprises! It was kinda cute though, where he went around inviting people "hey you are invited to my surprise bday party at MOS on saturday 11pm onwards"... Not a surprise at all..

Was a good party - well at least for him where most of his friends turned up and he was terribly sloashed which i had to suffer the next day :P

Then we watched the Phantom of the Opera.. It was good but not spectacular.. Maybe i had too much expeactation.. maybe esplanade is too small... sometimes, less expectation is good. but we did enjoy it of course.

Then finally last Monday, we headed to krabi.. weather was so disgusting.. rain.. sun.. drizzle.. sun.. rain.. for whole four days..! was terrible. but we enjoyed the thai dishes and the sinful mango sticky rice.. it was soooo good!

And the lobster!



However we ended up food poisoned on the last day.. damn.. wat a terrible trip back home it was.. could be the stupid eat all you can for 220bhatt buffet.. could be the stupid coffee at this dodgy indian restaurant.. who knows..

but was a real good break... no complaints! :)

::Updated::

Here is the video
Yes I am so hot.. my hair all sticking on my forehead.. it was so blardy hot after gulping down 2 jugs of vodka cranberry just for the sake of curing my cough and the crowded zouk...

i need a break!

i seriously need to getaway...

Awfully Sweeeeeeeeet!

Starts sweet and ending is sweeter..
Watch till the end..

catch up!

one fine day we went to cafe del mar...


it was nice.. with my lovely bellini which costs 18 bucks!


but then... it was so bloody hot.. and the place is so nice.. and we realised..
dammit! we werent dressed as you should be at cafe del mar! bikini! totally forgot..

other than that, cafe del mar is a nice chill out place.. but i would rather go on weekdays when it is less crowded.. and just lay down on the beach bed and watch the clouds go by.... with my bellini of cos!

verdict: burnt out finally..

Really fell sick last Tuesday..
Actually wasnt feeling well during the weekend already... but then Tuesday evening till Sunday... damn.. i was K.O.ed..

Slept 6 days with fever and non stop coughing.. woke up only to go to toilet and visit to A&E on Friday night cuz my bf was so worried that I had dengue...

Monday fever seemed to have gone, and wanted to go office cuz have new colleague so had to give deep dive training. But upon hearing my voice on my way to the office, my manager ordered me to turn the cab around and go home. I was banned from office..

So i went to see my good ol' doctor.. verdict?

burnt out..

I have finally burnt out from work.. Ever since I joined, i worked like a machine. my laptop was on 24 hours. I was, and still am, practically living in front of my laptop... ya.. it is silly.. and work is work.. but i couldnt stop.. serious workaholic you call it...
It has gotten worse upon my promotion last year. Sleeping less, more time on the phone, in front of laptop therefore no time to shop...

Since i was sleeping for past 9 days, i had time to think...
why do i work so hard?

more money.. to have a comfortable life.
so i work hard, and i do have more money but in the end i got burnt out, therefore it is so uncomfortable because i am coughing non stop so I cant sleep!

So whats the point?

I am going to work seriously 9 to 5. I am finally reporting back to work tomorrow. And onwards I am only going to work 9 to 5. My shop closes at 5pm sharp. I am planning to start leaving my laptop in the office from onwards... errrmm.. maybe this i need bit of time.. heh

been out for awhile

Was MIA from the party scene for awhile..
been too busy with work, i seriously had no time for anything..not even for my dear babies - Polly and Crayon..

Last friday was a nice chill out time with lots and lots of mojitos.
Check out the Cuba libre.. it is opp Clinic entrance.. The mojitos are heavenly.. Esp made from my now fav bartender, Kai.. :)

Really felt like i was in Cuba, like in Miami Vice where Gong li takes colin ferral for good mojitos on a speed boat...

been busy...

took up this role, without much thoughts.. didnt expect I would be occupied with work almost whole day including weekends.. Leading the team is fun, but trusting them and overseeing their work on top of my own work doubles up my workload..

Totally gave up going out for drinks on weekdays, and even clubbing on Friday night became a chore, because i am just too tired end of the week.

instead, i found myself enjoying company of friends for lunch and meet up for dinner before heading back home to work, short trip to JB (w/o taking leave!), going gym twice or three times a week instead of heading to a pub (which is more healthier!), and of course being in a r/s changes everything..

now, it seems like work is settling down, where i am getting used to the stress, expectation, tiredness and crappy mood. I love the new office at cityhall.. I love chilling out at cheesecake house at siglap with loads of magazines.. Love the fresh saturday morning breeze without any hangovers..

This weekend was a nice chill out weekend which I didnt have for a long time. I didnt even switch on my laptop didnt even think about work.. it was all about me myself and him.
it was such a bliss to just chill and enjoy eachother's company..

and it's monday again with a splitting headache...... :P

15 years in Singapore!

Arrived here in 1986.. Left Singapore back to Korea in 1990.. Still young that time, I had no idea wat it was like..

Had good 6 years in Korea.. Secondary School.. begining of high school..

Came back to Singapore 1996 Jan 26th.. I still remember that day so clearly.
It was a real cold day, and my best friends and my boyfriend at that time came to the airport to send me off. It was first time I found out for a fact that, guys do cry...

Arrived Singapore with my brother to join my dad.. house wasnt ready so we lived at the meridien hotel for a month..

Finished my fun international high school, went to lasalle where i had the biggest culture shock (I hated Singaporeans then and couldnt understand Singlish), had the most fun times in Lasalle, graduated got a job and till now...

Now 2007... in Singapore for 11years.. plus the 4 years I had when i was young.. total 15 years..

it is blink of an eye.. More than half of my life I have grown up in Singapore. I call Singapore Home, where Korea became a holiday destination. I am so used to the hot weather, I am so scared of cold.

I am a pure authentic Korean for sure.. And i will never give up my korean passport.
And one day of course I would want to go back.. maybe when i retire.... :P

but sometimes i do wonder.. am i more of a korean or more of a Singaporean?
A questions i still cant answer...

Why do I love Singapore?

1. Chicken Rice and the Chilli!!!! I will crave for this when I am in overseas
2. Sambal blachan... the best chilli! Esp homemade ones are the best
3. Takashimaya and Paragon! The best malls ever
4. Changi Airport.. do i need to say more?
5. SUN! can tan almost every day!
6. Location.. so easy to fly to any countries!
7. Super Airconditioning - be it office, cinema, malls...
8. Clean shiny cars on the road
9. low income tax!
10. buying winter clothes at great d/c price!
11. Great Singapore Sales!
12. Zoo!
13. orchids
14. Pepper Crab at Jumbo!
15. Clubbing - esp Velvet!
16. Everyone seems to know everyone.. small world.
17. Singapore Airlines
18. Yakun kaya toast
19. cheap cab fares
20. Singlish- try explaining when to use "lor", "lah", "leh" end of the sentence?
21. Men! - tell u the truth, i think Singapore men are great! :)

I love Singapore!! and seems like.. I will be here for awhile more ...

What's your personality love style?

Here is the analysis:

Love at first sight is your style.
You are not fussy about who you fall for, and often there seems to be no rational reason for you deciding to love someone, it just happens and you'll follow your heart. When you do fall for someone, you fall completely. Your love is somewhat child-like, or what people like to call "puppy love".
While following your heart is important, you should also remember to use your head occasionally.

oh gosh... is so true........

take the test!

Sun "could" rise from the west tomoro...

I said could not will :P

First time in last one year and half, ever since i started with this new job, i actually took a train to work!!!

I always grab a cab which takes usually 15 mins and costs 7 - 8 dollars..
But waiting for cab about 5-8 mins, and if call a cab, additional $2.50, i decided to try the mrt today...

Besides, i used to take mrt to work everyday in my prev co.. and good weather today with nice cool breeze... could wear my cool new sunnies too :)

So I did, and actual travel time was about 35 mins inclusive of taking the condo shuttle to the train station...

As my boyboy says.. it is a good start.. :)

Lets see how long it will last.. haha..

SYDNEY - An Australian bank has apologised for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.

The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when its owner, Katherine Campbell, applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.

'I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security,' Ms Campbell told local media on Thursday.

The bank said the cat's card had been cancelled. 'We apologise as this should not have happened,' it said. -- REUTERS

It's about time i apply supp cards for my babies so they can get their ass off the couch and go and get their own food and treats!!



OMG.. you know wat would be freaky? imagine u get a call from the bank saying your supp card given to Polly Purfect has just made a transaction and has exceeded the credit limit....

here comes 2007!

I looked at my 2006 resolution..
The resolution i made a year ago..

It was just "be happy".

And was i?

yes.. i was happy in 2006.
My family is healthy and happy..
My cats are healthy and happy..
My job is a bliss and i am happy..
My friends love and be there for me always so I am happy..
My two relationship i had in 2006 ended amusingly without any ugliness so i am happy..

So what is my 2007 resolution?

be happy of course!

just as it was in 2006..
and stop groaning and moaning about the fact that i will hit big three-zero next year.. :P

Lets celebrate the new year with some martinis!!

Happy Holidays!

Me & Polly & Crayon wish you the best holidays and blessed 2007!

Things that you do... II

when i didnt believe your sudden confession that you like me you placed my hand on your chest and said..
"feel my heart. do you feel it beating?"

when i still didnt believe, you said..
"you will know the truth tomorrow morning.."
and next morning you told me you have asthma and allergy to fur and dust.. but you so lovingly hug and play with my cats and made Crayon fall in love with u...

when you sang for me unplugged..
"I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details..."
you made me want to be that somebody for you..

when i asked you what you feel like doing today..
"Just spend time with you"

when we went shopping u hated so much and keep bugging me..
"Lets go perm eye lash" :D

when u left me alone in the car to top up your cashcard, you walked half way and came back and said with a cheeky grin....
"If anything happens to you, just run, dont scream cuz i cant hear you"

when i was feverish the other nite you came all the way to my place riding in the rain to feed me some bunch of vitamins (but no vitamin C).. and said..
"Shut up and eat. Then you will be strong."

when i was pisst off at you cuz i couldnt feel you like and care about me, you pulled me towards you and said..
"i came all the way here. doesnt this mean anything to you?"

yes...
i know itz too soon.. but am getting smitten all over again...

Sun is finally out!

and now I can resume my favourite activity again....

and that is...

Laundry :D

Things that you do...

Somebody

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

My justin timberlake!

Sexiest man on earth other than Johnny Depp and someone.. :p
ok that someone is not that sexy.. ha ha

Neway how am i supposed to grow up when there is a guy like justin!

work never ends..

Of course.. if not, i will be out of job..

Work has been hectic for past few days, since my darling boss last day is this friday.. traitor.. :P
He better give me unreleased Nokia phones man!

Handover, getting as much information as possible.. haiz... lucky i am smart.. if not i think i would have jumped down from my balcony, in which wont really help either cuz i stay at the 2nd flr :P

As my friends say, that is why i am getting such a high pay.. yes.. i bring enough dough back home i think.. but seriously, i have no time to spend and enjoy! I was telling my boss, how to work like this.. i got no life.. and he replies:

"tat is why I have stopped going out! do you think Chris Kang (Cisco Systems MD) has life? do you think Lionel Lim (Sun Micro MD) has life? how do u think they got where they are now?"

oh so true... believe me... soon i will have no life while trying to fight my way up the corporate ladder...

Tho busy at work, was able to meet up with good friends for dinner everyday and have good conversation which helps me to relax and be ready for the next day.. and some mojitos of course on some occasion... :p Weekends i am totally shut down and enjoy the company of friends over coffee and meals.. and not forgetting patoh-ing..

This year had up and downs, but mostly, I have grown so much mentally.. been in and out of relationships like changing underwear (seriously!), work has been taken lot of my energy yet spent lots of money and time on clubbing too..

Artist: Kate Havnevik / Title: Grace (From Grey's Anatomy)

Listen to the song.. and read the lyrics..
then you will know exactly what i m feeling..

(song starts at 02:20 minutes)




-------


I'm on my knees
only memories
are left for me to hold

Dont know how
but Ill get by
Slowly pull myself together

Theres no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace

I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world

Come what may
I wont fade away
But I know I might change

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace

Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace

sweet but bizzare dream

I had the strangest dream last nite..

I was pregnant, happily married to a rich family.
Coincidently, my husband's younger brother's wife is also pregnant so we were at this furniture shop shopping for baby furnitures. And it is those dark teak wood furniture which I love... So we were looking for closet to keep baby clothes, look for baby day bed (yes baby version day bed!) etc.. (must be the influence of ikea catalog i was flipping during the day)

Me and the sister-in-law was happily shopping... Then mother-in-law came in and she was dang gorgeous.. really those tai tai with blings.. she was telling us this is good this is better etc... And FYI we live together - since we are darn rich, think we live in this big house and babies have a seperate room! but dang... i woke up before actually seeing the house... :P

Then tada~ my husband came with his younger brother - they are in family business of some sort - in flashy bimmer....

but.. i cant figure out how my hubby looked like. he was tall with good built.. prob look alot like my ex ex. anyway he was so generous and loving.. he kind of reminded me of my dad... we walked around the furniture store holding hands and he was like picking the furniture for me saying i need a new dresser etc etc....

but then i woke up....

It was very warm and nice dream..

---------------

And this is the interpretation of the dream.. 28D went to find out for me..

To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

and i think... it is scary but true...

Drowned in red wine....

Ever since i came back, have been overdosed with red wine every day...

As my trainer always tells me, don't drink alcohol too much... but a little bit of wine is ok... :)

I dont like beer.. It just makes me full and go pee all the time. spirits are fine, but only when I want to get drunk and go crazy... :P So i settled down with red wine. Two to three glasses, I am happy and quite rightly drunk :P

Kind of learnt how to taste wine and differentiate the difference in wines.. but to me seriously, it doesnt matter.. wine is wine. as long as it is sauvignon or chardonnay... Just for knowledge sake i know wat is good and expensive wines so when i go dinner with angmohs and stuff I can pretend that i do know :P

i prefer 100 bottles of 20 dollar cheap but good wines than to 2000 dollars Grande bottle..

ahhh... how i wish right now, have a bottle of red wine, with my ipod and a good book lie down on a daybed in Bali... and watch the clouds go by.........

Back in Seoul again

Left San Fran this morning and now I am in Seoul.. Didnt sleep for 12 hours on the flight. Watched all the movies available and some, i watched 3 times.

Now I feel like a zombie.... brain dead... but the first things i do when i came home? Check my work email... damn... this is pathetic.. all i think about is work, work and work.. and of course my cats..

Overall San Fran trip was a blast. Worked hard, meetings whole day, socialise, went out everynight.. Now as an account manager officially, everyone was congratulating me.. and that actually adds pressure... i am so stressed! i have to change my sign off as "Regional Account Manager" now but that title comes with great amount of responsibility.. So I am still refusing to change my sign off... but one good thing? seems like there will be quite alot of travelling to do next year :) Free trips in company expense.. that I like!

Anyway, i will have two nights here in Seoul and head back home... From Wednesday, big meetings.. sigh...!

Seoul weather is not as cold as SF.. SF weather was beautiful... Sunny yet chilly.. Seoul is bit more gloomy..

I miss my cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In San Fran again.. and am so tired!

It is nice to be back.. third time already... Everything is now so familiar and know what to expect..

Know which shop to go and shop, where to eat, what to do...

Overall, nice weather.. cool and breezy but sunny..

Met up with my best friend, who moved here few months ago.. it was nice.
Met up with my ex, and it was wierd. but we are fine.. it is so wierd that the moment i saw him at the airport, it was like, no emotion no feeling. just felt like looking at a colleague who came to pick me up... tot i might fall for him again, but no... Maybe it is a proof that i moved on and he moved on..
And now, we are fine.. we have mutual understanding... :P

I am so tired.. it is wednesday today, and my jet lag is still lurking...

Went to napa yesterday... Accounts planning meeting.. haha but it was more like account managers and directors fun day out.. napa is nice.. but californian wines.. hmmm.... not my thing.. i like aussie wines better... and my all time fav.. cloudy bay... :)



going for one of the account manager farewell dinner now.. got this famous sake bomb place.. where you pop sake into the beer... but hell no.. i am not getting sloshed tonite.. I got meeting full day tomorrow!!

I am so darn sleepy now!!! :D

Restless

Had a good holiday at langkawi..
Lots of sun, laughter, eat and alcohol... able to do silly and stupid stuff without needing to think..

Got really cooked and burnt and now, my face is peeling.. :|

My mind and brain had a total shut down.. which is amazing cuz usually when i am on holiday, i will still think about work and stuff... but this time round, i had a total shut down... must be the good company..

This coming weekend I will be leaving for San Franciso...
It's my third trip already to frisco, but in which this time round, it will be a bit different.. and sadly, i dread to go.. i wan to rest at home with my kitties.. I dread to be on the 16 hours flight... aaarrrggghh...
However, one thing i look forward to is meeting my best friend at Cheese Factory at Union SQ.. Who just moved to SF few months back to be with her bf.. so that would be super cool!

Then on my way back I have two nights in Seoul again... a relief!

Then when reach Spore i have full one week APAC eMarketing meeting... busy busy..

Then it will be december, and i have to go and haunt for a purfect Christmas tree for this year... thinking of buying a real pine tree this time.. :)

Ready for another holiday!

One more day and I am off to Langkawi!

Gonna get sloshed every night, hangover every morning, gonna puke as often as i can and gonna soak up the sun... woo hoo~

Esp this time round going with new group of frenz who i really began to fall in love with.. Fun to be with and whom listens to all my crap and being able bitch together.. as bitchier as me :P

Is gonna be full of fun!

Just got a new set of bikinis and a cute pink skirt to go with.. need to be in the mood right?

I am so happy nowadays tho work is busy, i have been promoted (yes!) and got almost 30% pay increase (so blessed!) and my annual bonus payout is confirmed.. and increased! :)

Health has been good, didnt get flu for so long I cant even remember last time when i was sick..! Lost overall body fat thanks to my PT and clothes are becoming lose.. yey!

Mich is finally married! I waited so long for her wedding.. and it was glam as expected!

Bumped into my old friends at zouk and we are gonna hang out together again! It was a fun halloween nite at zouk!

2 more nights to go in Seoul

So far my stay has been good.
Still being treated like princess at home, being driven around, use my dad's credit card, eat home cooked food, sleep as much as I want, meet friends, cheap drinking sessions... wat a bliss... wish this can last forever..

Tomorrow it is the thanksgiving day... Chuseok.. where all the relatives will gather.. i dread this kind of gathering..
cuz the first thing they ask is,

"when are you getting married?"

Gawd... dont they get it? 28 is still young to be married! I have career to build, i have money to earn, i have more places to travel.. where do i have time to get married??
So now i have a clever way of answering them and make them shut up when they ask this question.

"Yes, i DO want to get married but there is no men! Do you know one? Can you introduce me?"

yes. then they will keep quiet i tell you... :P

Met up with my colleagues on Monday and went for nice dinner and drinks..
Tuesday I went for a blind date, where we decided to be frenz cuz we both are not ready for marriage and we cant possibly be together.. We are too different!
Then met up with my best frenz and had nice dinner and drink session... Drinking in korea is so fun and so cheap!

Went shopping yesterday and was so tired.. there is juz too much people and koreans are juz so rude... in the end i couldnt buy anything with a very bad headache.. and i think i kena eye infection... cuz of pollution and stuff..

Later i will go driving with my dad's car... haha cant wait.. i gotta practise, cuz for next month SF trip, i gotta drive.. :P

i think i should nap first... ha.... how i wish this kind of life just goes on..

in Seoul enjoying the autumn

I realised to reach Korea - is now only 5 hours 45 mins... 10 years ago it was 8hours.. Has the globe became smaller or is it the technology? :P

The weather is nice.. 20 celsius.. Girls are ready in boots.. whereas guys are still in short sleeved tshirts with three quarters :|

Thankfully, my autumn/winter clothes are not outdated.. due to all the regular buys for the regular San Fran trips...

Slept all the way.. Tho I was on the world's best flight, SQ, i didnt even watch a single movie.. been working damn hard, partying hard for last few weeks that i lost so much sleep.. Slept through out the flight, and when reached airport, slept through out the journey to Seoul in the limo bus..

Always nice to be back home.. My home smell.. My mom's scent... My brudder...:) My dad will be back in Seoul tomorrow..

The thing I miss about Singapore?

1. My beautiful babies... I miss my cats to death.. and i know is gonna get worse..
2. My micro gel pillow
3. Friends to chit chat

okies i am gonna hit the bed now... will try to update what i have been up to in beautiful Seoul..

I depend on me

somehow i really relate to this song....

========

Question: Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave

Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 5050 in relationships

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me

Stay or to go?

I have been so stressed out lately at work..

I mean i love my job.. however, it is tiring me out...
Truthfully, I have been working hard. Seriously hard. Put in so much hours. Pushing myself to be recognised as a super woman. That paid off by getting my bonus approved and waiting for my pay raise approval and most importantly gained RESPECT among colleagues and the bosses...

But sometimes I wonder why do i need to work so hard?
Why do i need to commit so much..? I am seriously losing sleep nowadays.. I am stressed about the upcoming big profile campaigns.. I am stressed about my team not meeting the deadlines.. I am stressed about vendors not giving me good assets..
I am stressed about handover while i am on vacation!

Why I should go
1. Losing Sleep
2. Stressful
3. Time difference with head office is challenging
4. Long working hours - but this is cuz i chose to...
5. Ridiculous con call hours... 7am in the mornings and 11pm in the evenings.... training at 2am...
6. Obsessed with checking emails at odd hours - like at 3am...
7. $$$$$ is never enough!

Why i should stay
1. Getting my bonus is Nov
2. Getting pay increment in Dec
3. Have the best boss
4. Flexible working hours so can go gym anytime i want to
5. Can work from home so can watch my crayon grow.. (!!!)
6. Get to go US pretty often
7. i am called the lord, queen of Spore in US head office
8. I am still in luuuuurve with my T.M.
9. turning down job offers cuz i get paid too much
10. no need to spend money on office clothes!

haiz.. by looking at it... Seems like i am gonna stay around for awhile...

work is work.. client side or agency side.. it is the same.. the grass on the other side always seems greener.. but.. it is the same in the end.. you get the same shit, you get the same crap.. thats why is called WORK... not PLAY...

My new Satin sheets!

Last Sunday was at expo whole day...
shop, eat, shop, eat, shop, eat.....

but it was sure fun!

And i splurged on Cotton micro satin bed sheets.. 420 thread counts... yes.. it's truly heavenly.. the sheet is so soft and cooling and soooo smooth... i look forward to go to bed every night and dread to get out of the bed in the morning..

Also got two micro gel pillows.. man! its like those 5 star hotel pillows.. its so fluffy and soft..

And how can you tell its so good???
Just look at my babies! they are taking turns to take over my bed!!!!

Gorgeous Polly


Cutie Crayon

Had a blast with the idols!

OMG.. yes only me and saffyz follow the Singapore idols..

i am so tired now, but i had to blog this before heading to bed..

Today (Sunday), we had a chance to meet the idols, cuz they were shooting the mtv at my 2nd home - FLO. So i was there.. cuz of my friend who is the producer and other friend who is the manager :)

and the verdict... They are so sweet, nice and down to earth! All of us got along so well, and now we are supporting all 5 of them!

Jon is so super sweet, that he came up to me and introduced himself first.. I was in shock that i poured the water on the table... aarrgh :( and he chats happily with anyone.. he is so friendly and sweet.. Hady is nice too.. and we will party together once this whole thing is over! Joakim.. he is so tall.. lanky good looking kid.. Paul, actually he is really cute!! not irritating at all.. And Jasmine... so pretty and sweet.. she came up to us and thanked us for letting them film there.. gosh how sweet can they all be?

On wednesday, we are going for the show.. haha... gosh.. we are becoming a groupie..!

But we sure enjoyed ourselves.. right saffyz? :D yes.. will pass u the pix of u & Jon.. :P

8days were there snapping pix.. hopefully this time, we wont end up appearing in 8days like we did in TNP.. if i do, i will seriously, go MIA for awhile...

I just cant believe it...

Of how fast I get over relationship..

I will moan and complain and sulk.. but within few days i am absolutely fine and ready to move on again!

Maybe its cuz of wondeful friends, who are always there to lend their ears and bitch and curse together which kinda helps big time :P

there is something i m so looking forward to now.. and i hope it happens in october!! hehe saffyz knows :P

Get Over it!! Get Over it!! Get Over it!!

Damn watz bloody wrong with me?
I have gotten over two relationship this year.... damn.. do i have a terrible taste in men? Is it me? Or is it them?

I know i have serious problems in commitment... when the relationship gets a bit deeper, i wanna breakfree and runaway....
i dont let myself get hurt, in return i will say hateful and mean things to them.. they get hurt, and seeing them get hurt, i will hurt myself too even more..

But whatever... as my fav girlies say... GET OVER IT!!

And i am over it... It's game over!! Done! Finito!

Period.

Now i am on my way to watch the movie "the breakup".. a purrfect timing to watch.. hell..

Are you up to it?

No choice.. i gotta do this.... cuz of two people who is complaining and say i am lazy...

IF A MAN WANTS YOU

My friend just sent me this...
hehe, i think she knows how desperate i am looking for a man esp now i have finally called it quits with D...

Saffy, this applies to u too.. read well and absorb!!

=========


IF A MAN WANTS YOU


If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.


Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.


If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve

then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself

a year later for staying when things are not better.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you.


Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.

He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant,

Why would he treat you any differently?


Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.

If something bothers you, speak up.

Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has

more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.


He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are.


Never borrow someone else's man.

Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.


You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.


You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about

baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship


You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists

of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.


Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your

always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.


Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.

Keep him in your radar but get to know others.


Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another

RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate

them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.


BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN, SO TAKE A HINT............

this is exactly how i feel now

I feel so much happier.. livelier... have meaning in life again..
i am loving it.. savouring every day.. :)

And this is my song now.. I really do relate this song!

Miss Universe 2006

I am not really a big fan of beauty contests. But I do watch Victoria Secret shows.. all the hot models. :D

Anyway I was kinda channel surfing last night and came upon watching Miss Universe..
And OMG... Kurara Chibana.. The Japanese babe.. She is HOT!!

i always wondered if i have a bit of lesbian in me.. like.. i like to check out girls more than the guys at clubs.. :P
Well this doesnt prove anything cuz i still do love men.. :P



But check her out man! She is from Okinawa, where another hottie Namie Amuro is from. She speaks fluent French, Spanish, and the crowd went wild when she spoke English and answered question in Japanese (of cos)! She is so cute when she smiles. Gawd... I dont want to say this... but it is so not fair!!!!!!

Anyway I was rooting for her all the way... at least she came first.. I hope to see more of her!! woo hoo!!

Check this babe out!!

Travel Bug

Oh my gawd...

i have been bitten by travel bug again!

My itchy fingers made me surf SQ site, and realised I have accumulated loads of kris flyer miles... So i can redeem free flights to following destination..

1. San francisco
- Give me a reason why i should waste my miles to go there to see someone who is now in the most least want to see list...
Besides, I will just wait for my co to approve budget to go there again soon so I can get extra kris flyer miles and give the someone a nasty big slap... kekeke *evil evil*

2. Seoul
- I think this makes more sense. Go there see my family and friends.. But I would rather go in winter... It is just too hot in summer! Sun is scorching hot and is so dry!! besides, my parents just left last week.....

3. Ho Chi Minh
- very cheap miles.. only 25k miles.. And I am definetely going this year.. But I am more thinking of going to Ho chi Minh then go Korea and come back to Spore.. So getting an one way trip ticket is not worth it

4. Sydney
- I would love to do sydney again. Didnt have much time the other time being sick and all so didnt get to visit hunter valley for more wine and blue mountain.. Maybe I should consider.. before the winter is over...

5. Bali
- Maybe I should just head to Bali to unwind.. I am almost burnt out.. too tired of work, people, relationship... just go there enjoy the sun, food, pool, wine and most importantly good lookin aussie surfers.. kekeke

6. London
- I cant believe i can even claim miles to go London! I miss London soooo much! And besides, can take Euro train to Paris for my LV shopping... and spain since the gals have been talking so much about the good looking dudes there keke... Maybe this i will consider in October.. ahh.. got two weddings in october.. dang..

Maybe I should go somewhere I never been before... like Italy.. nah.. this I am saving for honeymoon.. and if i wanna do europe, i will go london and take train for europe tour.. is more worth it..

Maybe I should go Canada.. oooh...

dang it.. maybe i should just go KL for mega sales in malaysia.. wait a minute! drive to KL is easier than to fly!

Any recommendations? and any kakis to go with me? anywhere? anyone?

Happy birthday to me!

I am finally 28!
Damn.. when did i get this matured? :P

It was a good birthday, tho it is my first brithday in a very looooong time which I cant even remember, having my birthday without having a boyfriend 'physically' by my side... feel so wierd! Tho he did send a prezzie and a sweet card plus e phone call all e way from SF... :P

Anyway, I am still happy, cuz i am so blessed with friends spending my birthday with me, and i received so many well wishes! And my parents were here tho they left before my birthday.. but at least i got the prezzie :P
So i can say this is the best birthday ever!

Thanks everyone, who remembered my birthday, and the wishes and the gifts...

I am truly truly blessed...

now, i am gonna open a bottle of wine for myself, to end a purrfect 28th birthday...

cheers to me, for many more happy birthdays to come!!

bloody worldcup

Yah Yah Korea was sent home last weekend after the match with France..

however, kudos to the team who gave never die attitude play and amd proud of them and proud that I am indeed a Korean.

Had so much fun catching the games and losing sleep, updating the score sheet etc etc...
wait for another four years...



And now, I have totally lost interest in World cup.. Maybe just catch the finals. Going all the way with Argentina baby!!

Corea really rocks!

Gosh Corea rocks man!

I never enjoyed football so much in my life.. But this worldcup is really entertaining me all the way!

Consequences? lack of sleep, and alcohol rashes i am getting.. but whatever.. it's once in four years!

woohoo~~

I am celebrating cuz Korea is so goooood and cuz japan is most likely going home :D

but hor... japanese boys are really cute! man!!

I am so broke!

I have never been so broke for a long long time..

Checked my credit card bill after my AU trip.. OMG... i sloashed my plastic.. up to 2k!!! damn the SG currency, which is err.. ahhh.. u knw..

So now i am super broke.. No more GSS, no more cabs, no more eating out at a fancy restaurant... ah at least half of the month is gone, so tahan for another 1 1/2 weeks... tahan... tahan....aaaaarrrrggghhhhh

son of a bitch!!

Any kind souls out there to contribute for "save-hena-charity"??

G'day mait!

Back from Aussie... and purrfected the G'day Mait aussie accent... haha
Next time i meet u guys, i will do it for ya... :D

finally visited Melbourne and Sydney.. Wanted to go there for long long time.. Had no expectations cuz i didnt know what to expect. juz that i had too many frenz who are from AU, so I just wanted to be there.. And not forgetting giving up my possible RMIT uni days... Sigh... :P

Absolutely loved Melbourne. Weather was cold but sunny..
Winery was good too! And meeting up with Lwee and Ross was absolutely fantastic..!!
Melbourne is more laid back compared to Sydney.. Less cars less crowded..
Shopping was real good too! Fell in love with Alannah Hill and Kookai.. Too bad I couldnt find more to shop!




Sydney is so city.. Busy people cars everywhere.. I fell sick in Melbourne so Sydney was a bit disasterous.. We were tired, not feeling well and the weather is cool but sun was like so sunny glaring everywhere.. But it is a beautiful city.. And meeting Mel was so good! Love that girl..
Dragged law out to have the famous bbq king.. the best roasted duck and biggest char siew I ever had!
Ooh and the oysters.... good gracious...




Too bad didnt have time to do Blue Mountain, Hunter Valley and Bondi beach.. I think I want to go back end of the year to feel the summer.. Anyone keen?

Overall, australia is a beautiful country.. Sun is good, weather is good.. And, they have the most beautiful skies you would ever see... I have been to lot of places but Australia sky and the clouds.. are beautiful..

And the wine... oooohh.. how i wish i could just live at Domaine Chandon and savour the wine from morning to dawn... aaaahhh... that, i call a purrfect life..!!

More pix!! click!!

maybe i am not as strong as i tot i was

i tot i was a strong woman..

able to hold emotion, sadness.. taking everything in.. being a cancerian, i dont like to share what i feel with family, friends, others...

everything seems to be tumbling down.. my mood swing is so horrible.. was ok a moment ago and next moment i am so crappy. no meaning in life, nothing to look forward to.. just want to breakdown and cry.. but i dunno why i want to cry..

i think i am just getting old :P

Definitely need a holiday and a mega shopping therapy..

In two days, will be leaving for melbourne! hope after the trip i will be better, refreshed and recharged...

black out

i got a shock this afternoon, when i was working from home..
My wireless suddenly went down and the house became extremely quiet... Then i realised.. Shoot... whole house power is out.

I opened the box to see if any of the switch was down, but all seemed ok. So I called the condo management, to check if it was only my unit.

And their reply was, oh they are replacing some power cable so the power is out from 2pm-5pm. I was furious. Howcome I wasnt notified? And they said it is on the notice board and it is on the lift... duh.... how about people like me who dont take lift? and notice board? come on!! who actually looks at such stuff?

So I argued that they should have sent a notice to each unit.... or better, dont they know what email is? Cheapest way to announce to the mass?? Maybe I should try to sell DI services to bayshore... ha!

Oh well.. I just felt better screaming at the poor fella.. I just love scolding people.. such a b-i-A-t-c-h... keke


So since I couldnt work, was thinking what could i do?
Watch tv.. shoot... no electricity..
do laundry! shoot... still no electricity!
should cook and have late lunch.. dammit... no electricity..
ok i should just shower and go out for a while... oh fuck... heater will not work so no hot water for me to bathe....
lets call a friend to complain.. shit.. mobile batt is low, and if it is out, i cant bloody charge!

And elee says, "water is still running right? mop floor!" :|

ah well.. i never knew how important electricity was.. until today.. i felt totally paralysed!!

well I guess we just dont appreciate things until it is gone...

Decisions Decisions Decisions

How do you make a ultimate decision that might change your life drastically forever?

Is it based on the logic and being rational plus calculations? Or follow where the heart is and your mind and what you are feeling?

I might make and I know I will in the end make a decision that I would definetely regret rest of my life which I will never ever forget and most likely blame myself.

But I will make that decision because it is only right thing to do... There is no 'if's, no 'but's.

And the funny thing is? I am cool with it...... shouldnt i be upset that I am making that decision based on being "realistic"?

Burn out

I am too tired..

Tired of work.. Tired of relationship.. Tired of life..

I am going downhill.. real fast.. but surprisingly, i am taking it pretty well.. I want to cry, but no tears to shed..

I think I have been away from God for too long.. This is a wake up call.. God calling me back to his arms that he has always been there for me.. It was me who tried to compromise and lived the way I wanted to for past one year.. Alot of good things happened and I thought it was because I am too good.. how conceited I was.. how wrong I was..

In these hard tiring days, I only have God to turn to.. And it is about time..

I know he will forgive me and accept me with open arms. I will leave everything to him and I shall obey only him with my whole heart.. He was and shall always will be - my light and my way..

=====

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever

i am doing fine

Clocked 68 working hours for past week.. damn.. why am i working so hard for??
But it was good enough to keep my mind of someone.

Went into a phase where I wanted to call it quits which he ignored the whole idea that made me mad.

And now, i decided to give time and see how it goes and we are going to figure it out. That is my only consolation right now.

Anyway, there are loads of work waiting for me again this coming week, and I am also looking forward to the Mid Year sales.. hehe

Then in two weeks I will be leaving.. for Australia! Yey!! this is purely for play. Last holiday I had was Bali in November, so I really do need a holiday now.. burning out from work, and to get away from all other things on my mind..

Then in July, there might be another trip to SF, if not I will be heading up to Seoul for a short break..

Oh guess what.. my bro and his banana frenz got into a street fight and he is hospitalised... LOL

Right now in the process of "blackmailing" the fella who broke my bro's nose and that fella has to compensate a huge sum since my bro cant work for 3 weeks...

And my brother has such a nice sharp nose lor.... should get compensation for ruining his good looks!

ms purrfectz seriouslly depressed.. :: DO NOT DISTURB ::

Two wonderful weeks have passed.. blink of an eye..

Yes i tot i would be fine, but i am depressed.. and sad..

I am going MIA for awhile.. do not look for me, do not call me, do not text me..

and..

Do not disturb me. I might just burst out crying... :( seriously..

I am ::BLACK::

Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

being loved?

I feel so loved and treasured..

But i need to understand what we are getting into. It is not as simple as it was when I was younger and naive.

When young, you are adventurous and oblivious of the consequences. You will dare to do all crazy stuff because you assume you are in love.. aahh.. those were the days.

As I am older and wiser (I hope!) it is head over heart..
I think in all different scenarios.. wondering what would happen if i do this or he does this and that.. I don't want to be selfish, but yet I don't want him to make hasty decisions because of me.. Either one of us has to make the major sacrifice. That is the only way it is going to work..

We knew what we were getting into.. and we are getting punished...

yes I really DO want this to work..

Just like that Leann Rimes song... Is this God's experiment?

men just don't get it!!

I was talking to my male buddies this morning...

and i was tellin them i am mad at "the one".. and this is the convo..

buddy # 1:

buddy # 1 says:

buddy # 1 says:

buddy # 1 says:

buddy # 2:
me says:

buddy # 2 says:
why leh?

buddy # 2 says:
hahaha..... women!


We women.. are we that bo liao??

American Idol

I catched most of the episodes for season 2 which I so much wanted Clay to win but he didnt..

Catched some of the season 3 which i wasnt that interested who would win anyways..

Catched all the episodes for season 4 until Bo got kicked out.

Didnt catch any episodes for season 5.. Catched a bit when i was in SF, cuz I really wanted to vote since I was in States and was on Cingular anyways but didnt really care who I was voting for.. Was just excited I could vote :p I was so deprived from voting for American Idol, I actually voted twice for Taufik. :p

But then, I finally got to catch it on Wednesday.. Good gracious, they all rock this season! And heavens... Chris rocks man!! I have a huge crush on this bad-boy-rocker dude...

Woo hoo! hope he goes till the end, and i will definetely buy his album! Even he doesnt win, i hope he gets a record deal..

ps- have you guys seen Ace's brother? he is even hotter than Ace!

Crappy Snappy Bitchy me

Since yesterday I am feeling exactly as what the title says..

Crappy....
Snappy...
Bitchy....

Dammit!! Work dont seem to go away which my body is starting to breakdown and I am just too tired!

Need a holiday! aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhh

weekend is finally here and...

I swear I will NOT think about work nor worry about work nor stress about work.

It is finally a weekend which i was so looking forward to for whole week, planned with full wonderful plans with friends, so I will just purely enjoy this brainless weekend.. and just relax..............

thinking about mojitos and magaritas.... here i come....

What have I been up to??

Was and still am, so busy ever since I came back from SF.. so no time to update the blog.. Fisical year is ending and everyone is busy with reports and reports and reports.....

24 hours is just not enuf and 7 days a week is not enuf either..

However, I did manage NOT to work at all last weekend. For whole two days! I didnt on my laptop nor checked any of the emails... that was amazing.. But on Monday morning, my eyes just open at about 7am and started work.. am i a workaholic?

Hmm.. luckily enuf, I enjoy my work.. if not, I dont think i can take this..

Last last weekend, I was at Port Dickson with Wala family. It was fantastic with lotsa laughters, beers and beers.. Yes lotsa beers.. Got to know great friends and it was a great weekend getaway to get my mind off someone for few days :))



Then my colleague from SF was here for a short holiday. Brought them out to East Coast and they fell in love with the crabs and cereal prawns. Then headed down to new Asia bar for their tiger beer and singapore sling.. for me? Mojito of course!!

I went to highlight my hair last weekend, and I simply love it! I love to switch from dark hair to highlighted hair then back to dark hair :) Just lurrrve the way my stylist do upmy hair! She is just so fantastic! I have recommended so many people there..

Oh then I had to go to my x-colleague's Son's 1st birthday! It was fun catch up with the exs.. It was more like a dad and mommy's party then the kid's.. I mean what would a year old know? But he was so cute and he did enjoy when he saw the cake :)

Then was at this new bar "Skin" co owned by one of our Wala friends. Great place. I love it.. Now i know how to gauge my alcohol level.. I left the moment I knew I was getting drunk.... They have great mojitos and fantastic lycheetinis...

Then on Monday, my snr acc mgr from SF arrived so brought her out to Aroi Thai then again of course, headed to my fav New Asia bar for drinks :)

Someone *special* will be here in two weeks time :)
Can't wait. Planning what we are going to do and where we are going.. But I cant take any leave, but i will be working from home (hee hee!) though he says he will just relax at my pool while i work :P
I hope the weather permits!
It is exciting to have someone you have feelings for and being loved back..
Gosh, I miss him... cant wait

I am such a sucker for..

Body lotions..
Singapore is already so humid, but will plaster myself with lotsa body lotion.. I will buy all kinds of brand in all different scents.. Dont ask me why..

Grapefruit juice..
I love it.. I just luuuuuuuurrrrrrve it. The sourness at the beginning and the sweetness at the end.. Perfect when it's a hot day and it just quenches your thirst.. So now i am hooked on grapefruit vodka.. Give it to me anytime..

Sparkling stuff..
Be it make up, hair clip, shoes or accessories.. It needs to be sparklie! the more crystal the better! If it's diamond, 'nuff said!

coffee..
I love coffee.. I need coffee... at least three cups of coffee a day.. The best coffee? mcdonalds coffee! It is so bad, it makes me wake up instantly in the morning and last me for a day! how cool is that! But my must have a day? Coffee Bean tea leaves mocha latte...

Sunglasses..
Especially big ass glasses... I have like 8 pairs.. I will never step out without a pair. Just added another $350 Gucci to my collection..
tada...! Isnt it gorgeous?? :))

Back from SF 3kg heavier....!

Alas..

All the diet + jogging i have been doing prior to the trip has gone to waste after 3 weeks in SF.. Total opposite from my last trip, which i lost weight when i was there the other time...

Yah... blame on the person who has been feeding me so well and chauffeur me around.. All the beer for every dinner, and overdose in alcohol every weekend... Thats where the 3kg came from!

Was hooked with Jack in the Box and overdosed with Diet coke with lime.. geesh...

Yes... I am back to my diet where there is absolute no carbo.. and jogging every morning..

aarrgh.......... the agony..... :P

Fantastic trip in SF

this time in SF, i had greatest time.
Maybe bcos now i hf many friends to share the fun with and to enjoy the real life in San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Jose..

Worked hard during the weekdays, was clubbing every weekend end up being drunk..

Met new hires from NY office and new hires in SM office, and they are all great people and great fun..

Sad to leave my three fun weeks here and will head back to Singapore in two days.. I really dun wan to go back this time... :)

The weather is even colder than the last time i was here, but i really enjoyed every single day, every single minutes..

I can so live here..

I know my friends and my cats miss me lots in Singapore, so see you guys in 4 days time :)

cheerios..
