It's my last moment with 2008.

It's 10.18pm now so left about 1 hour & 42 mins to a brand new year.

Nothing really great happened on 2008.

The only happy occasion on 2008 is the birth of Baby Kai Kai.

What's over is over, I'll try to leave all those unhappiness at 2008.

No carrying forward !!!

Everything will start anew.

Gotta start thinking about my New Year's resolutions although I didn't really work hard enough to fulfill my past resolutions.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE !!!

Last request in 2008.

Please pardon my last sigh for 2008....


Sigh.....It's blue....

"Old times" never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better.~ George E. Woodberry


Why do people have to go to work?


Who is that fellow who determined that we have to work?

Why isn't work 9 to 5 anymore?

Why is Singapore's working lifestyle becoming so stressful & tiring?

Why are we working so hard but at the end of the month we are still receiving the same amount?

SO...

Why are we working so hard for???

A better life?

So do we have enough time & energy to enjoy the "better life"?

I Don't.

Maybe it's only me who's leading a contradicting life.

Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.~ Albert Camus

Last Monday I went to attend my friend's wedding at Sentosa.

I had a hard time finding the hotel & the staff at Sentosa were not professional enough to help me!

One of them showed me the wrong direction, causing me to walk a long way on heels!

Anyway, it was really nice to see my friend so happy on her big day.


Yesterday, we went for our first picnic at Singapore Botanic Garden.

I can still remember my dad used to bring us there often when we were young.

When I went back yesterday, the place was so different.

However, I can still remember the swan lake where there used to have a lot of swans.

Our food. They were all yummy!

My first attempt on the Onigiris

The tree that can be found on our five dollar note.

Our belated X'mas presents

It was really fun & the weather was so nice that we all felt like lying down to enjoy the moment.

We decided to have another one next time.

Today, Me & Karen went to queue up for our first May Day Concert's ticket!

The crowd was so scary & luckily Karen's friend (thanks to her!) went there to queue early in the morning.

Yes, you are right!

We cut queue! Ha ha ha ha

These people are only about 1/8 of the total crowd

Luckily we were inside the first 1/8 of the crowd

We saw tourist taking photos of us queuing but...

Please don't be mistaken!!!!

Singaporeans don't really enjoy queuing!!!

We were forced to queue & too bad we were the obedient ones.

After we got the tickets, we went for our lunch & after our lunch we saw the queue was still so long!!!

LUCKY US!!!

Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.

We were having fun that day.

Never in our life, we made so many wishes in less than one hour.

It will be floating on Singapore River so spot it for us! ^^

Wishes for our fur babies
& wish for our buddy
Wishing that all our wishes will come true
This little Angel will make all our wishes come true
All wishes on Yu & Jing's Ball
It's ours, one & only in the whole universe
Lastly, wishing everyone an advanced MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
May all your wishes come true too!!!
My wish isn't to mean everything to everyone but something to someone.

Had met up with Simmies for sushi buffet.

It was considered cheap by comparing $2.29 per plate for ala carte menu.

I didn't take my dinner last night so that meal was considered as my last night's dinner, today's breakfast & lunch. Three meals taken together. Hee hee.

Anyway, after the bloated buffet, we went to shop around for X'mas presents.

It was very crowded in the mall, as usual for a Saturday.

Around evening, I headed towards ...... gym to burn the calories gained during the sushi buffet.

Haha... crazy huh?! My brother thought so too when I told him.

It was nice that the gym wasn't crowded on a Saturday evening & I even had the sauna room all by myself.

Temperature was 90 Degree Celsius. Almost cooked me but it was really great.

After the great workout, I went for a short shopping session alone.

Actually, shopping alone has its pros too & I kinda like it.

No doubt that I'm a lone ranger.

After doing some shopping, I headed to meet my family........ for dinner.

Haha.... A wasted gym session, I know.

But I managed to spot a cute Caucasian & a few hunks in the gym so consider not wasted right?

Oh my..... It's so hard to slim down.

It is ironic that we focus on weight loss, when the real challenge is weight maintenance. ~ James Hill

It's so sad to know there's such a bastard living in this world.

I hope he/she will get punish by going to Hell.

How could this person do such a cruel thing to the vulnerable cat?!!

How could this person cut open the stomach of this poor pregnant cat?!!!

How could this person bear to kill the mother cat & the unborn kittens?!!!

So many question marks in my head...

Why why why??!!!

It's just a cat!! How did it offend that person???

Curiosity killed the cat.... Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat.

Today is Singapore's public holiday.

Gonna start work tomorrow
but I didn't rest enough during this long weekend.

Instead my weekend was quite busy.


I was busy with friends whom I didn't catch up for quite some time, once-a-month facial, went to gym, spent time with my family & dogs, PSP-ing & most importantly, catching up with my beauty sleep.

Tomorrow will be a long day for me cos I know what's waiting for me.
The to-do list is sooooo long that i tried not to think about it when I was trying to enjoy my long weekend.

Anyway, four more days to Saturday. Hee hee... I love weekend!

The good news is that there will be quite a few public holiday that fall on Monday in 2009!


More long weekends. ^^ Yipppeeee!

There aren't enough days in the weekend.~ Rod Schmidt


I sincerely wish & hope for

WORLD PEACE!

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." ~ Jimi Hendrix


I brought my work home but later on, I decided not to think about work during this weekend.

Therefore, I decided to catch up those movies which I wanted to watch but didn't.

I simply love movie marathon.

I spent my weekend watching......

"Journey to the center of the earth",

"Eight Below" (as usual, I always cry when watching dogs movie.... poor old Jack *sobs*) &

" The Shaggy Dog" (However, I didn't cry for this, it was funny)

Had went to my malay friend's wedding as well.

The food was better than I expected but not the dessert though.



Me & Karen


Pretty couple & us

The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.

I have finished packing my bag just like a child preparing for a new school term.

New people and new environment awaiting.

Have to turn my body clock to Singapore's timing from today onwards.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.~ Seneca

I wrote their names on the footprints they left behind.

Although..

None of them accompany me through.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

We ended our conversation that day.

I cannot remember when was the previous time he chatted with me so nicely.

We used to end our conversation arguing.

Maybe both of us have matured.

Or maybe it was only that day.

I miss calling him & waiting for his calls.

I miss the time we used to spend chatting on the phone almost everyday, chatting anything under the sun.

He told me about his soccer, his friends, his motorbike, his dog, his family etc.

I told him about my friends, my family, my crushes, my job etc.

I miss the time we used to spend together working part time in the same company after school.

He waited for me to close my counter to eat lunch with him & I waited for him to clear his stuff before lunch.

I told him that one of my colleagues looked cute & he said just so so only.

He asked me to help him with his earrings during lunch cos he didn't know how to do it himself.

He said I was so rough towards him & I ever told him that he was not a bit romantic at all.

We both denied.

We are friends for 10 years this year.

Friends from the start, till now & forever.

Nothing more.

Maybe there was but I gave that up cos I cherished his friendship more than anything else I wanted.

Coz....

He was the only person that I cried to when I have problems with my friends &

He was the only person that scolded me stupid cos I didn't listen to him that the guy I dated was a jerk.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing. ~ Elie Wiesel

I always talk back to her...

scold her for the things she has done...

never help her...

ignore her...

when I couldn't get in touch with her...

I regretted so much for whatever I ever did.

At least I know she's safe & sound now...

or else I'm the biggest sinner in the world.

Getting out of Singapore tomorrow for a break...

I'm so tired today.

Her love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.~ Erich Fromm

I used to have the thought of having my first trip to Japan to be my Honeymoon plan.

However, I had dropped that thought & decided to go Japan with my buddies instead.

Today, another Honeymoon destination popped into my mind.

Shhhh... It's a secret.

I'm not gonna tell you where until I'm ready to go.


However, it's gonna be expensive & I'm gonna save up now.

"Cross fingers"

Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation

I was supposed to go KTV after my badminton & jogging sessions today.

Luckily we changed our plan.

If not, we would have missed the chance to "pass by" the circuit, hear the sound & see the race cars LIVE which totally made us super excited.

The sound of the race cars was so loud that it almost burst my eardrums & it is still lingering in my head now!

COOL!!!

10 Promises to My Dog


A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies

Just finished watching "A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies" which is based on a real story.

So touching & sad.


Out of these four movies, "10 Promises to My Dog" & "A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies" made me cry until both my eyes were swollen.

Animal/Dog lovers shouldn't miss watching all these movies.


I believe only those who has a dog like me will understand that kind of special bonding between me & my dog.

Just the thought alone of him/her leaving me one day will make me cry, I cannot imagine if that day really come.

I love my Happie!!!

"A species so intimately involved with our own, which has shared our life since time immemorial."~ Alfred Barbou

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house & has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.


3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.

When reading a storybook, I always try my best not to flip to the end.

Although I'm always curious to know the ending but it will make me lose interest in reading what's going on in between.

If my life is a story, likewise, I wouldn't wanna know my ending but I'm really curious how the plot will be like for the next chapter.

By the way, who is the author of my story?

God?

or

me?

If I'm the author then why couldn't I control the plots of my story?

So, will the mysterious author be kind enough to give me a wonderful ending?

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. ~ Maria Robinson

I love to look at the moon & stars while walking Happie as it always give me a very wonderful feeling.

I don't think many people (maybe in Singapore) care & bother to admire the lovely night sky.

Anyway, I was walking Happie yesterday & happened to see how nice the moon was so I decided to take a picture of it.

The picture turned out nicer than I expected & glad that Happie was quietly sitting down waiting for me to take this picture.


Saw the star beside the moon?

I saw it today again after my class while walking to the bus stop & my classmate said it was not a star, it was the satellite.

Hmmm....

It looks like a star to me.

I wonder will my sis be able to see the star/satellite in US & my bro be able to see that too in China....

It's so amazing that though we are all far apart but we are still seeing the same moon every night.

To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest

I'm still keeping them... everything.

Will slowly one by one delete them &

当全部都删除了以后。。。一切就真的结束了。

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.~ Gloria Naylor


Today is my last day of work.


Hate to leave my nice & lovely colleagues.

Couldn't find any better colleagues in other companies like them at the moment.

No politics, no selfishness & standing on the same side against boss. Haha...

Most of all I feel so bad towards my senior, didn't really wanna leave her almost alone in the battle.

However, I know clearly that I HAVE to leave.

Last minute cleared all my rubbish & packed my stuffs.

Looking at my clean table... suddenly I feel kinda lonely & had the thought of staying on which the feeling I couldn't really explain.

It's like..the place is so familiar to me which feel like my second home yet sometimes hate to go & when realised I won't be coming back..it's kinda sad.

Definitely I'm gonna miss my table, my work, my colleagues & my boss.

Leaving behind all the stress & bad memories, I felt so light yet so empty.

Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.~ Harry Browne

30th June, a very amazing day.

So many things happened today!


One of my colleagues who I always like to chat with left the company today.

I got to know a new friend who loves dog as much as I do & he lives very very near me!

I chatted for very long on the phone with a supplier who I barely know & he gave me a lot of his personal advices.

I finally chatted with another supplier who I see almost everyday for the past 5 months plus but never talk a single word before.

A guy who used to go to the same religious place as me popped up in front of me & asked if I still remember him! I didn't know he is one of my supplier too! So coincidence!

Added a new friend into my MSN list. She is my supplier too!

Chatted with one of my old school mates who I didn't chat with for very long & he threw one big bomb at me to share his happiness.

Chatted with a friend & just when I was so disappointed with his tactless remarks,

he said the final sentence to make everything sound..........

sweet.

However, I can no longer judge how true it is anymore.

Suddenly, I realised my world is revolving so much around the people at my work.

難過 我哭 是因為我的手找不到你說的 以後

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. Bob Moawad


Was thinking on the bus, if a Genie came to me & gave me one wish to be granted no matter what it is, what will it be?


I thought for more than half an hour & came up with these:

" I wish I have three wishes that will be granted no matter what they are."

Hee hee. Of course this wish will be granted & I can think of three more.

"First, I want to have the ability to read the minds of any people & animals I want to read."

"Secondly, I want to have the ability to turn back time."

"Lastly, I want to have the ability to heal illnesses."

Hmmmm.... I wonder can I just sum these three up just by wishing that I can do whatever I want, then I will have two more wishes.

Anyway, nothing better to do & to be more practical, I came up with a short wish list for this year which can only be fulfilled by myself. Haven't met any genie yet.

Hee hee.

  • A new job
  • A new desktop
  • A new pair of spectacle
  • A new hairstyle & colour
  • A new wardrobe of clothes
  • My first manicure
  • A trip to Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan (depending on my financial status)
  • Finally, a positive health report


A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbows will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

A dream is a wish your heart makes...

You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

I will not wish thee riches nor the glow of greatness, but that wherever thou go, some weary heart shall gladden at thy smile, or shadowed life know sunshine for awhile. And so thy path shall be a track of light, like angels' footsteps passing throug

Maybe God wanna train me to be stronger by making me learn to face realities all by myself.

Yes, alone.

Career.

Relationship.

Family.

They all come to me at the same phase.

They are testing my endurance too.

Getting tired...... I need a place to do what I wanna do now.

Women are never stronger than when they arm themselves with their weaknesses ~ Madame Marie du Deffand

Wednesday: Met up with the Simmies Awesomefive short of one. I was tired after a busy day at work but I Miss them soooo much & we had so much so much to catch up with one another.

The simmies

A tired me.

Thursday: Slept at 3am the previous night & I totally forgot that I had to study for my Japanese test! Anyway, my last minute study did help a little. Totally K.O. on my way back home on the bus after my Japanese class.

Friday: Knitting class & after that met up with my buddies for a drink & had a long chat with them in a quiet park till 2am! We hardly do that after we all started working & really happy to have them around when I needed them the most.

Saturday: Woke up around 9.30am & went for my all time favourite ~ KTV! Sang straight for 6-1/2hrs! ^^
On the train back home, I suddenly miss Kai Kai.
I miss hugging him, miss his smell, his cries & his singing.... have to endure for another four more days.

Sunday: My buddy's birthday! Will be going out tomorrow to celebrate with her. ^^

I'm so sleepy now ~

Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.

History repeats again.

I never learn my lesson.

I thought he's different from him &

I thought I found someone who cherished me more than anyone else.

Yah.. I know they are all "I thought" only.

Actually, they are exactly the same.

Met through the same medium

Went to the same place

& they ran away using the same way too.

But.. this time it hurts more.

For once, I followed my heart irrationally.

I thought this time finding out why will lighten the weight but I didn't know the stone had cut me.

Ok... Don't ask me anymore.


Love is I know not what, which comes from I know not where and finishes I know not how.

Baby Kai-en is sooooo cute!!!

Can't get enough of him...his sleeping face is sooo adorable!!!

Dreamt of my sis & him yesterday... but not a good one cos my sis scolded me in that dream.

Haha...

Dreams & realities are opposite right?

LUCKY!

I knitted a pair of hats for my sis & BB Kai...


The colour is too bright... I know.

Hope they like them.

................. Cute!!!


I rejected the offer by my company as a perm staff.

Today while he was walking behind me,

he mumbled like a child...

"why did you reject our offer?"

I turned around & smiled at him awkwardly...

"Want me to talk to you?" He asked.

I immediately shouted "NO!!" & scurried away!

Ha ha

I admit I'm a soft hearted person.

People used my weakness to take advantage of me sometimes.

But today my senior pleaded me to reconsider to stay...

I wavered again.

I'm so useless! So wishy washy!!!

Between Favor & Prospects, I know the latter is more important...isn't it?

“Indecision is the graveyard of good intentions”



在东京铁塔 第一次眺望
看灯火模仿 坠落的星光
我终於到达 但却更悲伤
一个人完成 我们的梦想

你总说 时间还很多
你可以等我
以前我不懂得
未必明天 就有以后

想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛


没看你脸上 张扬过哀伤
那是种多么 寂寞的倔强
你拆了城墙 让我去流浪
在原地等我 把自己捆绑

你没说 你也会软弱
需要依赖我
我就装不晓得
自由移动 自我地过

想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛

我发誓不再说谎了
多爱你就会抱你多紧的
我的微笑都假了
灵魂像飘浮着 你在就好了

我发誓不让你等候
陪你做想做的无论什么
我越来越像贝壳
怕心被人触碰 你回来那就好了

能重来那就好了

"Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." ~ Herman Hesse

I believe my indecisiveness is because I have thinking cells aplenty.

I was told by many people that I always think too much.

I realised that.

Always worrying about consequences of things that have not even happen.

I aways make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Over rational sometimes.

In relationship, my friends often tell me to lower my expectations.

However, I really do not know when did I start to choose the man to be with rationally.

By check listing on looks, prospects, personalities etc.

My heart's expectation is actually very simple, as long as I feel happy with him...

but my mind always eventually suppressed the heart's will.


The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.~ Thomas Merton

My colleague told our new colleague...

" Got problem, you can look for Casey, she's a kind girl............."

Being kind only ended up getting more workloads.

I decided not to be so kind so I talked harshly to my storeman today saying that he was being unhelpful for not helping me when I requested his help earlier.

He then said, "Ok, I'm free now, just let me know what do you want."

Did he sense that I was being harsh???

Am I harsh enough?

Or is it by being harsh, people will tends to help you more?

I'm confused.

Do not destroy a child’s dignity. There is a vast difference between being harsh and being firm.

I wanna get out of the tiny circle i'm cooping in for so long!

I'm still the same old me, the same one 10 years ago.....

It only means there's no progress & no improvement made.

I hate that!

How can I learn to be tougher, be firmer & be more confident?

Frustrated!!!

Where is the sense of achievement I'm yearning for?

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.~ Mark Victor Hansen

Recently,

I'm quite busy with Paulo Coelho ~ (Time for reading),

I'm very busy playing with my PSP ~ (Time for Tales of the World),

I'm also busy crochetting my booties ~ (Time for Crochetting),

I'm always busy revising my Japanese ~ (Nihongo no jikan),

I'm kinda busy with my Korean Drama ~ (Time for Behind the white tower),


I'm definitely very busy with my Japanese Dramas ~ (Time for Absolute Boyfriend / Last Friends!) ,




I'm also seems to be busy listening to his songs ~ (Relaxing time),


I like his soothing voice ~ & .....

Now time to be busy with my beauty sleep! ^.^

"Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, they never get around to what they want to do."

I hardly wake up before 9am on Sunday.

Last Sunday, I woke up at 6.30am.

Unbelievable huh...

I woke up to join Karen, her parents & many others to Upper Peirce reservoir for a slow morning walk.



Beautiful morning

My dearest mummy.

A tired me cos I slept at around 3am the previous night.
Addicted on PSP...... (-_-)"


Peaceful view


Nice park huh?
"Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.”~ Erich Fromm

I had been looking forward to this trip since last year.

I had never bought so many things in just 4 days, not even during my previous trip to China.

Day 1:

At Bangkok's airport with Angelia

Missing Karen was taking the photo for us

Standing beside Karen made me look even fatter -_-"

We were staying at Twin Tower Hotel.
The room was spacious & clean!

Nice bathroom with a great bathtub.
I had onsen (hot spring) twice in that bathtub, hee hee.

Lobby & reception of Twin Tower .
The staff had poor command of English.
One of them couldn't explain "opposite" & had to draw a picture to explain. By the way, it is a four stars hotel.

Isn't it beautiful?

In order to save money for more useful purposes, we took a tuk-tuk.
Ha ha, yes!!! Six of us in a small tuk-tuk!!!
It was such an unforgettable experience!

Our memorial photo of the exciting tuk-tuk ride.

Day 2:


On the second day, we spent most of our time in this cheap market
- The Chatuchak Weekend Market.
The weather was hot & the market was stuffy!
Couldn't remember how much water we drank & luckily we brought some on our own.


To cool ourselves, we went for a cooling ice grass jelly dessert!
The brown topping was brown sugar actually & they eventually ended up in the dustbin.

The hot & stuffy but cheap Chatuchak market.

I love this section of the market.
The animal's section!!!
This poor rabbit was caged in a small caged which it barely can move.
Sobs...Sobs...

They were made to wear clothes in addition to their fur, the heat is killing them...I guess.
Cruelty!

So many cute puppies for sale!
However, I discovered that some of the owners were very rough in handling their puppies.
Poor puppies...

Isn't this puppy cute!!!
I can't remember the exact name of this breed but I always
call this breed "Jian Gou" due to one of the anime I used to watch had this type of dog.

Sleepy puppies...Zzzz

After a tired day at Chatuchak, We went to experience the Thai massage & foot reflexology.
It was not too bad.
We walked away without giving tips! Ha ha

Day 3:

We shopped almost the whole day at Platinum.
Didn't even have time for Pratunum Centre.
Saw the busy road? Scary!




Kinda like this candid shot of Karen.
Opps! Will she scold me when she saw I posted this?

Isetan! Made me feel like I'm back in Singapore when I stepped in.
We bought so many things in the NaRaYa's Boutique in there.

A group photo which I asked a tourist to help us to take.
Hmmm...too tiny, isn't it?

We had a slightly more expensive meal to reward ourselves at
Jim Thompson.
The ambience was not too bad.

Nicely decorated coconut drink.
Cooling ~~!

My food!
I couldn't remember its name.

This is what Clairer ate.
Ha ha.. I couldn't remember its name either

This is Pat Thai.
Not too bad but still not better than the Pat Thai we ordered from room service.

Tiramisu!!!
Yummy!!!

Apple tart if I'm not wrong.
We chose a tart with more filling but the waitress insisted that this was the one we pointed.
Useless to argue with her.

Hmmm... I'm getting older & older each day.
Brain cells died faster these days.
Memory cells too.
I really couldn't remember what its name.
SORRY!!
However.....
I remember.....
it is

YUMMY!!!

Day 4:

Very busy day! No time to take photos at all.
We had our schedule tightly planned.

Early in the morning after breakfast, we went to do last minute shopping at MBK.
Bought big bag of goodies, most of them were pork floss.
After that we went straight back to hotel to pack & check out.

However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were being delayed from our plan.
The reception had checked us out despite we had requested late check out. My friends had to ran down to the reception there to reactivate the access cards of our rooms.

Time wasted!!!

My door card access machine ran out of batteries!!!
I believe not many people will encounter this kind of situation!!!
Not many people know the machine uses batteries too!!!!!

Time wasted again!!!

By the time we packed and checked out, we were already late for our 2nd massage's appointment!

Leading to the massage ended later than we had planned & we had to get back to the airport to catch the airport transfer.

We waited for quite some time & finally we caught hold of a cab but unfortunately we were stucked in the traffic jam!

The traffic wasn't moving at all!!!

We missed the airport transfer, had to pay for the delay & cab fare straight to the airport, late check in leading to separate seatings.

The worst thing was, I was arranged to sit with ABN in front, beside and behind of me!!!
I'm very sensitive to the smell & the one behind kept pulling my hair!

IRRITATING!!!!!

Luckily, it was only a two hour flight or else I will go crazy.

Nevertheless, it was quite a fun but tiring trip.

A very good place to shop indeed!

A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia
