.:: Mood ::. Finally
Yea, finally I got myself the LG Pink Ice Cream phone. *sweet*
Fell in love with it ever since I saw Jean and Phyllis carrying it.
Now that work requires me to carry a new line, it gave me an excuse to get this phone. :x
And since I have no intention of giving up my touch diamond, this is just plain marvelous!
GE Money sponsored 200 bucks and the remaining was sponsored by BF. Thumbs up.
I am loving it. =)
Muacks my boy.
BF is in Fuzhou now. Enjoying himself while I spend the long weekend with my friends here in S'pore.
Nonetheless, its gonna be a fun filled weekend with the following programs in place...
Thur night: Sabai Sabai with Wendi, Husband & friend. Wanna join us?
Disclaimer: It's gonna be my first time there.
Friday: Meeting Ada & Sally for some shopping in Orchard and dinner together
Saturday: Spencer and Stephanie's wedding.. Happy for them!
Sunday: Meeting Tony for dinner. He will be back in Spore for a week. It's been some time since I last met him.
I is a busy girl.
And.. Today I just went No Signboard Restaurant at Esplanade with my new colleagues. It was a dinner to send one of my colleague, Sandra off. She's going States to study for her Masters!!! Rich la.
These two days I have been feeling tired. Yawn.
I think my tiredness is making me forget things easily.......
=(
I actually forgot to bring my HP to work today. Left it in BF's house. BF was nice enough to bring it to my work place. Hugs!
And... not long later... I locked myself out of my windows at work because I forgot to UN-CAP my keyboard. How blur can I get?
I need some sleep.
Night Night!!!!!
Tml I have 3 appointments. Wish me luck! *keeping my fingers crossed*
I just realised this is a very random post....
Boo,

.:: Mood ::. Missing
After watching a video of Evelyn and Luther dancing Salsa, I declare myself to ....
MISS SALSA BADLY!
I miss dancing on the dance floor.
Me no dance nicely like before.. My structure are loose. My steps are bouncy. My turns are not sharp. I forgot how to do a lot of moves already.....
Sigh,

.:: Mood ::. Blah
I is good girl today.
Stayed home with BF the entire day. Cooked him brunch too.
Bf's parents are away till Tue. It's a cleaning day for us.
BF mopped the floor while I swept it, BF sorted the clothes into the washing machine & I hanged them up. Feel great to have someone sharing the house chores. =)
After editing the pictures for BKK Trip Day2, I am finally ready to blog about it.
Day 2 - 9th Apr 09
We started the day with a really nice breakfast on the 77th Floor. Attractive view and enticing food we have there.
We had banana for breakie every single day just to ensure a smooth 3 JI ! Hee.
It was a day of visiting the temples. Calmness settled in me when we finished visiting 8 temples in a day!
Ya you did not see wrongly... We visited 8 temples~ The initial plan was to visit 9 temples. However, it was due to the massive traffic jam (nearly 2 hours stuck in the same road) that we were late for the last temple! =(
We engaged Alek for 1200 Baht to drive us around. Without him, we wouldn't have such a smooth ride to the temples.
One thing is we got real confused on which temple we were visiting after a few.... With the really hot weather, 36 degrees, it doesn't really help!
Temple No. 1 - Wat Phra Khao
The first temple was the most popular among all. Quite a tourist attraction!
Motto: Endless wealth & prosperity
Due to their dress code, we were asked to wear a sarong to cover our legs. And I love the colour combis..... =)
Temple No. 2 - Wat Pho (Sleeping Buddha)
Motto: Calmness is happiness
It's pretty amazing how big the Buddha was. We donated some moolahs and started putting coins into a whole row of bowls......
Temple No. 3 - Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Motto: Have a prosperous life
We had to take a boat over to the other side. Felt rather giddy on the boat ride ! :x
After a short boat ride, we arrived at Wat Arun!
We prayed and Jean bought two pairs of pearl ear rings which cost 50 Baht per pair! Cheap!!!!
Temple No. 4 - Wat Suthat Thepwararam
Motto: Enlarge your visions and fascinate surround people
It was a much quiet temple as compared to first few.
The little eggs are damn cute but I still dint managed to find the courage to buy road side yummies!
Temple No. 5 - Wat Saket (Golden Mount)
Motto: Create Auspicious Vision
Up next was a temple that is high up on the mountain.... We were so exhausted after climbing up the stairs. *sweat*
After praying, Ice cream was the best thing we can have at that moment. ^^
And it was lunch time.... Looking at the clock, it was nearing 3pm Spore time! HUNGRY!
Alek brought us to a local coffee shop which i have no idea where we were.
The cola and sprite bottle are so authentic sia. And Bryan was having a hard time explaining himself where he wanted a Teh-Peng aka SA YAN!
The roasted duck and steam fish was mouthwatering!
During lunch, the weather started to change. Rain was pouring their way!
Temple No. 6
Finally the rain started to subside. We continued our journey to Temple 6.
A function just ended at this temple and the flowers are dazzling.
We were later reprimanded by the monks for taking pictures in the temple. =(
Temple No. 7
These was the 2nd last temple we went and we saw lots of monks getting ready to recite their JING!
We got used to their praying method with 3 incense sticks, 1 candle and a lotus flower for praying.
Temple No. 8
The last temple was a Chinese temple and we felt a sense of familiarity. Jean did something funny and it just make me laugh till I cried. GONG...... OK its a private joke and not meant to be shared. :x
Look at the rows of car stuck in the jam!!! We were one of them.
We decided to head to Platinum mall for a little shopping.
And due to the upcoming Song Kran, many shops closed early! =(
We dint managed to grab much and had to head back to hotel......
I was super hungry and it was making me grumpy. After much walking & searching, we finally settled down at Outback Restaurant in Siam Square.
Steak was Bryan's, BBQ Chicken was mine, Potato Soup was Jean's and we shared the bowl of Chicken Caesar Salad.
The BBQ chicken was finger-linking good. Or maybe when one is hungry... Everything tasted at their best~
Right after dinner, a lot of shops were closed. We took a cab to hotel and we were totally in love with the internal design of the pink cab! *shouts*
The right hand side top pic loots belongs to Jean and the 2nd pic was mine. So so so so much lesser than the 1st day! Hee. The book belongs to Jean and was one of the purchase from the temple.
These was the only day I bought lesser things than Jean! OOOPPPSSS!
We ended the day with a Full Body Thai Massage at the a massage parlour right beside our hotel... It was Bryan's first time doing their full body. He was making loads of funny noise and cause us to be laughing away.... We were their last customer for the day!
I finally finished Day 2...... Oh my 4 more days!
Tml will be meeting my dear gal, Jean. She's flying to Switzerland on Wednesday and BF is to Fuzhou on the same day too..... POUT!!
I wanto go overseas again too........
Sob,

.:: Mood ::. Beams
Of late, I have been indulging myself way too much. To my horror, I gained 2 kgs! *cry*
Need to be discipline again. Late night supper no more. Beer no more. Oily food no more. Yes to sleep early.
So if you see me indulging myself, please be a kind soul to remind me eh?
At work, everything seems alright till now. Sales closing has been a part of my routine for the past 2 days! Yay. Love it.
Test is coming on 8 & 11 May. Wish me luck!
Now is my BKK Trip post.
DAY 1 - 8th Apr
Our day started real early at 5.30am since our flight is at 7.15am. I woke up at 3.30am to get myself prepared and have breakie with BF at the airport. =)
Upon reaching, Alex, the driver picked us up. He's rather friendly and safe. So if anyone of you wants to engage a driver in BKK, let me know k?
On the way to the hotel, we saw a truck of Red shirts. Jean was getting excited! HAHA!
And.... I love their pink cabs. Why Singapore dont have? Only have those boring colours like Blue, Yellow, White, Green, Black and Red...... Frown!
At Baiyoke Sky Hotel, we wanted to check in but our room wasn't ready. So we end up heading to our place of Heaven, The Platinum Mall! *grinning*
I bought so many tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes and ...... I was shocked at what I have brought back to hotel. HA! Some of the tops I got, I dont even remember which shop I got it from... Oops.
As I type, I am missing BKK already. =(
With a heavy & tired leg, we headed to Siam Paragon for dinner since there was free shuttle bus from the hotel.
We spent 2366Baht on this dinner! And if you already realised, we heart salmon. Sadap!
After dinner, was some relaxation at a massage place at th opposite streets of Siam Paragon. We were so so so tired that all of us fell asleep while we were having our foot and shoulder massage! SHIOK!!!!!
I wanna go back.......
Day two coming up!
Yawning,

.:: Mood ::. Sadden & yet Safe
Sadden because I am back in Singapore earlier than planned. I changed my flight to yesterday 9.15pm (Thailand time) as BF & our parents were worried about our safety!
The initial plan was to fly back on the 15th which is tomorrow. Anyhow I am also glad I am back peacefully in one piece.
I feel fortunate for having friends who sent me sms and even call BF to ask about my safety!
You know who you are & love u loads. Muacks!
Honestly speaking, if not for people around us worrying about our safety, Jean, Bryan & I would have stayed till Wednesday. Hee.
Cause we dint really feel the effect except for the fact that we were told to return to the hotel on Sunday evening as the Red Shirts Protesters were protesting outside Siam Paragon. We were in Platinum Mall at that time and the mall was asked to closed off at 5pm suddenly....
The shop owner was nice enough to tell us to return to hotel as the shopping centre report was in Thai language and we understand no shit !! God bless us we have nice people around....
Poor us don't dare to go out after that and stayed in the hotel all the way till the next morning. Had Mac for dinner. I realised their fast food some how tasted better than us! Is it the oil they use or what?
The fries smell so much nicer la! Yummy.
Took loads of photos. Hopefully I have time to load it.
I am having post Bangkok Depression!!
I want to go shopping! I want massage!
I want nice Tom Yum Soup!!!
I want.............. to go back BKK!
I hate the reporters for making BKK sound so scary now.
Argh,

.:: Mood ::. Relax
I have to start packing my luggage now.... =)
Flying off at 7.15am tomorrow. Which means I have to reach airport at 5+am. Damn early la!
Shall see you guys in a week later.
Gonna miss my boy in S'pore.
For the past one week, I have been having loads of fun.
Playing Five Ten with Nicholas & Alvin at Ice Cold Beer was hilarious on Friday night. Jean came and join us after her movies, Departure.
I think I fell in love with the Erninger Beer!!!
Hmmm I love Erninger?
The happy three
Bleah!!!!!
Clubbing at Phuture at 2+am with Milly, Edmund & friends till 5+am! It was a night of old friends meeting up! Saw many people there like Jianyi, Jefferson, Ah Guan, Joey and her new boss. Cool!
Saturday late noon was at Beauty World with BF for suan ming. =) Next was Ice skating with the cousins. Dinner was KFC!
All of us excluding Shimin.
Jiamin, Jiali & me
This picture is cute... Credit comes from Jiali.
We had fun trying to figure how to skate. Actually I did not fall down but unfortunately while I was trying to pull Jiali up from the floor, she accidentally pull me down too! Da ta... I was on the icy floor too! Haha. Next outing... Paint ball?? ^^
Then we went chilling at Indoor Stadium's Brewerks till 1am. Nice Potato Skin they have. Drools!!
Yummy... You should try.
Aftermath was pubbing with BF & friends at Mansion. Chilled till 4+am! Shagged.
Ate Sakae Sushi with BF and watched the Shinjuku Incident on Sunday evening. Daniel Wu is so ke lian in the movie..... I teared when he kept shouting "我要我的手!!! 我要我的手!!!"
This movie really doesn't flatter him in any way with the curly hair and disfigured face. And not much of real fighting scenes. Still I find it alright to watch la!
Yesterday was a ME day. Went for my body checkup requested by GE Money alone. Did a blood test and the normal full body checkup... I don't know why I felt giddy when I saw the nurse took a tube of my blood. =( I think I am still traumatize from my accident!
Headed Lucky Plaza to change some Thai Baht and went Far East Plaza to remove my gel nails. Oh I think I forgot to mention I knocked onto my gel nails when I was Ice skating on Saturday. Damn painful it bleed. Argh.
Probably that's also the reason why I decided to take out my gorgeous gel nails.
See how long it grew....
Met Emily & Jasper for dinner and home I went.
BF say he wants to send me to the airport tomorrow! Yippy..... Hug him!
Now I really have to go. Cya when I am back!

.:: Mood ::. Frustrated
Mind you, it's gonna be a very random post.
I am frustrated with myself.
You see, when one has too many choices one tend to weight their pros & cons. When one doesn't have any choices, one got nothing to think about and just accept it.
Now I have 3 choices and I have to make a decision by tomorrow.
I ask myself what I want.... $$$ is the answer.
Still, its making me go crazy!
I sweep my hands over my hair a number of times today and guess what, my hair are dropping more then before!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!
Alvin said,
"Val, I think you have been thinking too much and using your brain alot lately thus some hair loss!"
Ya! I agree.
Doesn't that mean I haven been using my brain for a long long time..... Hahahaha~!
On a side note, it's Dad's birthday today, 1 Apr 09. Brought the whole family with BF to Causeway Point's Crystal Jade for dinner where 4th Aunt works! =)
Thanks to BF for treating my family! *muacks*
And.... Happy Birthday Daddy!
This morning I went for my checkup @ SGH again.
Dr Ng smiled at me and said, "Not bad huh, your recovery is doing very well. =)"
I am really happy about the recovery for my scar. Though its not as obvious as before but I still feel a lump of skin at the end of the scar under my chin! Still need to massage it more.
As for the numbness, I can feel more sensation now! *beams* I still hope it will have full recovery........ May god continue to bless me! Thanks.
Today after dinner, I met up with Alvin for a chat. It was always nice chatting with him. Nice guy! ^^
Now is a little bit of update of my free & easy life........ I have been meeting up with my dearies for the past few days!!!!
28 Mar 09
Met up with Jean Jean for a Zi Wei Dou Su Suan Ming @ Beauty World. Super creepy cause it really describe alot about me. I find so true. I do hope the remaining details are true too.... As in the good ones. :x
Dinner was at a Korean Restuarant nearby and Phyllis joined us shortly.
Gelato Ice cream @ Frutta La Viva was for desert. Zane joined us too! She wore the new watch we got her as a birthday present. Looks great on her!
A full body massage came next and it was super shiok plainly because my body was aching all over that day. =)
It was a day of relaxation.
27 Mar 09
Went back to branch to help out Michelle since Lorene & Boss were on training. Was there for half day & I sent a goodbye email to the people in OCBC. The 2 years here were really memorable and I learnt alot. Be it good or bad memories, the most important is I managed to know a number of nice friends there...... Love them all.
My days in OCBC.
Late Lunch was with Joey & Cairu @ Taka's Coffee Club. Both Cairu' BF & my BF are enjoying themself in BKK while we do it in S'pore.... We eat, talk, laugh, walk and eat, talk, laugh, walk..... Nice! Watched the Hotel for Dogs with Cairu since Joey has to meet her friends for dinner. The dogs in the movie are all darn cute. I am beginning to like dogs comparing to before!
I like the blinks on Joey's Lighter & HP!
Then it was clubbing @ Boiler with Crane, Vivien, Jiejie & their friends to celebrate Crane's birthday. It was a fun night!
Happy Birthday Crane Dear!!! Hope u had fun.
26 Mar 09
I went Bishan to touch up on my eyebrow embroidery with Milly. Took a long time just waiting. Argh!
However I must say Amy's skills is good.
Dinner was at Far East's Pasta Mania and we head to Causeway Point for movies with Winnie & Jamie. Watched the Confessions of a Shopaholic.
I conclude I am one SHOPAHOLIC too! I love to buy and buy and buy.................
3 popcorns out of 5 for this movie. ^^
25 Mar 09
Went Milly's house and Vivian was there too! Sadly we failed to capture a pic of us that night. We nua and nua at her house till 9pm+ and finally decided to head to St James. We bitched so much that night. I think we hardly shaked our bom boms. Haha.
Still it was a great night out!
22 Mar 09
I wanted some moments with BF and went Marina Barrage, the 15th reservoir in Singapore. Windy & nice scenary I must say.
I love the pictures I took that night. =)
It's 4.16am now and I can type no more.
Good nightz all. *stretch my back*
Yawning,
