Summer im MEL? nah....

Holy cow... it's cold here even thought it is suppose to be winter.
Temperature has dropped till ~20C & I haven't got enough to wear :-(
And my camera spoiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more nice photos.

Yesterday, I went to the great ocean road but was cloudy and raining.
I only have a 3/4 shirt on me.... so imagine Steph hopping around the coast... like a bunny :-)
too bad that I don't have enough money to go for the helicopter ride.... I wish I could.

Any price tag to your life?

Update:
This is not "jump" case. She fell while cleaning the windows. Sad....

Earlier:
Someone has "jumped" .... in my block.
Not sure if it's one or two person.
Not sure which floor has he/she/they have jumped over.
Not sure if they are Singaporean / China / Or others?
You guys can watch the news and update me.

Anyway, Life is fragile... why?

Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Cute dessert

Today, I went to Botanic garden for tea (YES! no work)
The dessert is soooo cute and unique. I had the brownie with ice cream.... and they came in spoon size. 4 for $9. A bit expensive but tasted good.
Think that is a nice place to chill out... sit next to the nature... GREAT!

I took this picture with my phone and the resolution is bad... I am in need to change a new phone.

War & Inhumanity

Can't believe that I am leaving for Melbourne soon.
Mmm... I hope my friend's friend is ok with me crashing in.
I am abit nervous about it but I think I should be fine.
Also, I haven't decide what I want to do but basically rest and relax.
To chill out and align my goal.

Mmm... after I came back from Cambodia, I was thinking should I go into social work; but doubt I have the patience :P Better stick to my engineering...
Next, do I still want to continue working here?
I like the job but there is a factor that bother me alot.... which I am still thinking if I should move away from there. Haiz...

Oh, when in Phnom Penh; I visited the Tuol Sleng Museum.
OMG, that place was crazy.... I cannot believed that they turned a school into a torturing centre. Thousands of people were tortured there...and prisoners included the children.
When a family member made a "mistake"; they killed the whole family (so call - removed the roots).
So, during the Khmer Rouge; millions of people were killed.

War is cruel but human are the worst. Human created war.....and inhumanity.
That's why I always think my existence in this world might have contribute to another's suffering...
To balance, I need to do more good deeds? Can I? Can you?

Blood stain on the floor.... History is permanent; Evidence is always there.

Torturing room which used to be classroom. The wall hangs a picture of a body on the bed...

Do not waste food

I don't think alot of Singaporean know how lucky we are.
Few weeks back, the paper reported that students spending more & more money. They were not worried about the recession, etc. And yet complaing.... I think should put them there for a week. Think none can even surivve a day.
A trip to Cambodia is definately eye-opening for me.

I seen the poverty and beyond. People live with the basic neccessities of life.
However, the gap between the rich and poor are obvious.
I see kids running around naked, dirty hand and nails, smelly shirt, eating little, living in house that is make of leaves/woods. Some sleep in the streets. They have little knowledge on how to protect themselves.
It's heartbreaking..... I wish I can help a little.

Therefore, even when I was NOT eating well....I dare not complain....but eventually, I got sick.
I have no complain.... except for a lesson for me to get my body back in shape fast.
And please do not waste food. If you cannot finish so much food, then don't order so much!
Sometime that I will have to learn too.

Here are some of my favourite photos:
More pictures are in the facebook....Let me know what you think.

How can I fall sick

I had got either gastic flu or food poisoning.
Has been to the toilet for >4x and throw up for >5x.

My room mate was very nice in trying to get me to take her medi, but sometime; i just want to have some rest.
Beside, I usually like to let my body recover by its own whenever it's possible.
Anyway, tomorrow I am heading back... hopefully things will be fine for me.

Nevertherless, I visited the street kids centre today. Always good to see the kids laughter and you couldn't imagine that behind those smile... there is a sad story...
Tell you more when I get back.

1st time in Phnom Penh

Trip has been OK so far, except that I did NOT visit any night spots.
None of the members are interested in night activities. I guess I can head out alone?
However, I was told that Phnom Penh is not one of the city where alone is ok.

Anyway, at least I have visited the village and school.
Tomorrow will be the day where I meet the sponsed kid.... and I have just bought a 5kg rice.
Not sure if that is ok since the family are farmer...

Mmmm... looking forward for tomorrow.
Oh, here is an hour behind singapore :)

Another singapore night hangout

I had visited the Marina Barrage and it was a nice place.
Since it's a new spot, it was pretty packed even thought it was 1030pm then.
Singapore is going through a majar face lift. Everywhere nearby is under construction...
Are we going to look like Vegas - The strip?

Maybe I will visit there again during the day. I
t will be a different experience and hopefully that it will not be too packed.

Also, I like the idea of places such as Marina Barrage, but for casino? I am not sure.

Laughter

I had alot of laughter today.
Our team was holding a roasting party for 2 team members that are leaving.
We made them dance... wow... they really have a talent in that (with the sexy move) ;-)
Anyway, I had an really interesting cake today - lychee martini cake!
Have you tried before? Pretty good!

Found "lost IC"

HOMBRE!!!!!
Today, I found the "lost" IC which I always thought that I have "throw" it away accidentally - 2 years ago!
Oh, the flip side is that I had paid $100 for the replacement...
Now, the title of "Sotong Queen" - has to be me.

Cambodia night activities?

Few days ago, I went for a briefing regarding the cambodia trip.
Err, the itinerary looks ok... Day is pack with activities such as visiting the schools, street kids centre, etc.
But all activities will end before 6pm. Man, what about the night activities.
I definately enjoy going to the centres but need some night sight-seeing too!
Not sure if it is safe for a "pretty" lady walking down the street during the night.
I will find out soon :)
ONE more week to go!!!

Oh, if you know of any night activities in Phnom Penh, please let me know... thanks

I pray for peace!

I am counting down the days for my Cambodia and Melbourne trips.
Also, I am going to buy premium travel insurance; especially with the current "messy" situation around the world. I don't want in the situation where something happen to me.... my family is stuck with nothing.

I alway feel that bangkok is a relatively nice place....but the "in-house" politics has caused them "millions" of money... the tourism is and will be badly hit with the closure of the airport. *wasted!*
India...also, it never come across my mind that terrorists would attack that place. But it happened...

Now... I am a little worried about the safety of Singapore. The peak hour train, the crowded city.... will be badly damage with only 1 blast!!!! I hope no one is out there to hurt more innocent people. Lastly, my heart goes out to her and her family... God bless.

Busy..

Have been sooo busy with work that I have no time to blog.
ARGHHHH.....

Never mind... I am looking forward for the long holiday in Dec'08

X'mas is near

The X'mas lightening in orchard is UP.
Last year, I spent my X'mas in Phuket; in fact, I got my open water cert on 25 Dec 07.
This yeay, will I spent my X'mas in SGP or AUS?
I haven't decide if I should fly to Melbourne on the 23rd or 25th Dec.
Anyone doing any celebration? Any reason for me to spent X'mas in SGP?
Will see....



This morning, I went for a jog. While passing by a canal, I spotted a turtle!!! and a white long leg bird (I don't know the name of the bird).
Hey, a turtle in canal??? MMmmmm....
But what surprised me was that I spotted it...I mean, I never looked into that canal, despite that I had jogged along the path many times....I mean a canal is a canal, what can be in there? Rubbish? bottle? mud? water?? I am so wrong.
During my last diving trip, I was complaining why didn't I get to see a turtle... Now I do :p

Heheee... I start to belive that seeing/exploring/making things with an open mind/heart, I will gain more.

Overcoming my "phobia(s)"

On Saturday, I went for a hike to Tree Top walk again.
As many may know, I have a “huge” phobia of height…..but I made it cross the bridge with no fear. I am sooooo happy that I am slowing walking out of my phobia(s) shadows….
Also, a worm WAS on my pant….and I didn’t faint when I realized it. I was a little scared but not as “drama” as before.
Gosh… I have really understood that the phobia(s) that had been with me for years, CAN be overcome. I just need more “training” and “practice”.
Now, I am more confident that I am able to achieve more than I know….
Importantly, since they have confidence that I can do the job; I will prove to them that they are right and have good judgment……

The bridge with a cheeky monkey:
The hairy and tiny worm:

Stand Up

Just returned from Phuket - Went for diving again. Always good to be in the “nature”.
My instructor claimed that he was impressed by my performance especially when my last dive was almost a year ago.
I thought I will be nervous and freak out… which I didn’t. I was never this calm.
Also, can you believe this - while walking in the woods, I saw a HUGE millipede (at least 10cm long)… I wasn’t as scared as before.
My next goal is the height thingy. My friends…. Pray for me ;-) hehee…

I felt slightly better after the trip which gave me plenty of time to sort my thoughts.
In life, definitely there will be bad/down times; it depends on how one is able to pick up, learn from it and move on.
I WAS never good in this area. Once I fall, I remained down for a long time.
So, this time round; I am going to do the reverse. I will stand up immediately and move forward. Maybe the change will be drastic but is absolute necessary.

Who believe what goes round, comes round??

Sunflowers to cheer your day....It does cheer me up...always.

6-sense

I have been keeping myself occupy; however, something else seem to be missing.
I don't know what is it.
Do you believe in 6-sense? I do.
Recently, alot of creepy stuff is happening around me.
I wish I could think of happy events and they happen.
Enough of the "unhappy" incidents.

When will I ride a bike again??

Ubin - Nature

Yesterday, our team went to Ubin for team building.
I was sooo happy that we did that. Why? I just love to be in the nature.
It gave me a sense of positive energy..... and cycling also help me to release my stress....
I do hope to go back again... at least that is the nearest nature that I can go to (in Singapore).

I took this on my own: What do you think? Good?

Rochester park

Last night, I had a wonderful dinner at rochester park.
The ambient and food were excellent.
I never knew such place in SGP until yesterday.
Looks like there are more places to explore in SGP. :)

+1 soon... very soon

Few more days to go before I have to add ONE to my age.
Meaning another year closer to death?

I dont think I have add much wisdom though.
My resolution? To be smarter, I guess.
I have no goal on what I want yet. Will think about it now...

De-stress

I am so stress up recently. I need to de-stress soon before I go loco (crazy) again.

Planning for a diving trip in 3 wks time....dive alone :(

I hope that diving alone will still be fun for me. Wish me luck.

Wow....An expensive way to de-stress leh.. :(

Any sponser out there??? Please....

Accidents

Weird......I was caught in 2 separate traffic accident today:-
2 car accidents in 2 different time... I am sitted in 2 different cars as well.
All accidents are in the same place and location...Mmm....

Quotes of the day

Few quotes that I find it meanful;
1. Asking for what you want in a positive way makes it happen.
2. Indifference goes away as we grow in confidence.
3. With resentment, we tend to focus on the negative and miss other opportunities
4. Before other can believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.

Time to straighten up the life

Must do some activities!

I missed all the outdoor activities... cycling, trekking....
I will start asking friends for these activities... are you game for it?

Oh, last night; I went on a river cruise along singapore river...
Yes, acted like a china tourist.....
Actually, it's nice... chilling out and relax.
Oh, the boast pass-by the indo chimjes (did I get the name right?) - opposite boat quay. Wow, that place looks cool and romantic.... Must be a good place too? But maybe expensive too?

I was only away for 2 months...but when I went to NorthPoint today...wow... it has "upgrade" alot.
Much nicer and had more shops nows :-) .... more shops to come....

Back but bad news kept pouring in..

Since I arrived in SGP, I have nothing but all the bad news.
I am so tired - wish someone could give me a help and pull me out.

Love spain

Everytime I went on trip, I gain weight. Not very heathly leh :(

I can't belive that I am going back in 3 days time.

Back to the crowded city - 4.6M people?

Probably I will have culture shock again :(

Hey, here's the photo of the rented bicycle. Looks cool ah.

Plus I can bring it to the train... meaning I can cycle to everywhere, anything.

Damn, I love spain!

Last weekend in Barcelona

This is the last weekend in Barcelona....

On Friday, I went for a muscial show but is in spanish.

Of course, I don't understand most of it but I just want to experience it....

Then on Saturday, my friend hosted a dinner at her place, was nice to eat some home-cooked malay food. Since I am in Spain, the dinner started at almost 11pm and ended at 1am. Followed by partying at a local club till almost 6am. I am sooooo tired by then.

Sunday was easy because I head to work. Damn lot of things to clear...but I knocked off at 6pm so that I can spent 2 hours cycling around Barcelona.

Was nice and relax.

I cannot believe that I have been here for 7 weeks. Now it's seen to be pretty fast.

I am not sure if I face the real world when back to Singapore

I am worried and in fact a little scard but I know that I have to face it afterall. Keeping my fingers crossed.

1st mountain cycling - Almost died

Wow... I am so proud of myself. I cycled uphill and downhill in Barcelona.

Uphill was very very tiring but I made it.

I thought going downhill will be easy but I was very wrong....because it was so steep and rocky! Not the usual route you see in Pulau Ubin. Got to be 10x more.

Not much of photo as I was struggling going up and balancing myself while downward.

My destination is the church up there.... Look as if it is very close? But the route up is tough!....Really tough when you cycled up!!!

The view from the top....and that is barcelona.

The treat for myself is a whole bottle of coke and 2 bar of chocolate....for energy

La Merce firework

Last night, I had watched the longest firework in my life. It's lasted 20min....and was set by the beach side (barceloneta).
Super romantic... hahaha...
Also, I cycled there.... First time cycling in barcelona...wow...

Cycling

My spanish co-worker has lent me his daughter bicycle....

I think on Sunday, I will use it to cycle around Barcelona.

Was suppose to do it with a group of friends but they have a change of plan.

Madrid's painting.... on a building.

Kissing...

Today, in train; a spanish teenage couple was doing the "french-kissing" infront of me.

Here, people just express their passion and love very openly.

Maybe it's a good thing?

I had just moved to a new apartment yesterday. The place is new and bigger than the previous. But the cons is that there is no supermarket nearby.

Oh, I went to Madrid over the weekend..

The crowd is slightly different from Barcelona.

Here is one of the typical Madrid dish - spicy stew of stomach, sausage, fat, vein, etc.

Mum miss me

I had just returned from a 4days trip around Spain - Bilbao , Burgos and Madrid. The trip was really good; I got to broaden my "limited" knowledge and it has change my way of interpreting and seeing things now.

Oh, an amazing thing happened today.
During lunch, I was commenting to my co-worker that I should call home today... Since I haven't called home since I am here....
2 hours later, my brother text - "Mum miss you..."
Sometimes, I feel that mum and I have a special connection....just like today. I sensed that she is missing me. Also, there are occasions when I had urge to eat certain food; she will cooked it that night ;-)

Mmm... now, I felt guilty for not calling home earlier. Oops...
And maybe I had made her even more worried since I am sick :-(

Disappointed

I had made an early return from Andorra.

It was raining on Saturday, therefore Sunday was not suitable for trekking.

End up, hanging around the small town.

Saturday's Lunch and Dinner were excellent so we settled for MacDonald on Sunday.

Head back to Barcelona before destinated departure time as there was nothing else to do.

Beside, I was really tired as I didn't get to sleep well. Noise from the street and snoring....kept me awake all night :-(

Pictures of cloud covering the mountain... and yes, VERY COLD...

Saturday's weather:

Sunday's weather:

Also, I had witnessed a happy occasion on Saturday - Wedding... Bride and Groom patrolling down the main street with >40 cars behind them.....

However, on Sunday, I witnessed another event - funeral. Also they drove down the main street....

This is life. Start of new life which will end eventually, somehow.

Another weekend trip

Today, I am heading to Andorra (a small country in between Spain and France).
2 years ago, I had been there and loved the place.
However, this trip seem to be more expensive than past.
Inflation too??
OK, I am keeping my fingers crossed that things will work out fine.... because I am going with someone (co-worker) that I do not know that well. Ooops... ;-)

Deams...

Had a dream last night. Dreamt of my M1 friends...Hope everyone is fine...
I am looking forward to the weekend so that I dont have to work... :D

Where is Home?

Over the weekend, I went tekking with friends, at the mountain - Espot
The whole journey took >10hrs and I came back with a sore butt; not sore leg. And no, I didn't fell on my butt.
Overall, It was an excellent experience...

Here's the photo of the mountain lake.

For the 1st time in my life, I had the feeling of going home while oversea. Usually, I am very glad to be away.....But this time, I just wish to go home and see/hug Racer.

I meant people here are nice and we went on trips....but my mood is not right.

Two weekend ago, I went to a church - the 1st church that was built by the famous Gaudi.....

And, for the 1st time in life... I was talking... talking to myself in a "holy" place...but some may say it was "God" talking to me.

I did indeed felt some direction when I came out but I am still lost now.

What the heck is happening to me? The brain is not functioning well. Where have all the engineering cells went to?

Anyway, here's a snap shot of the church... I will try to post more at facebook..

Giris...

Mucho giris!!!!
Giris is the spaniard's way of referring tourists; just like we called the westerns as ang mohs.
I went for a little walk at the city today.... Gosh.... there are so many tourists around!!!! so I had to u-turn and return to my quiet neighbourhood...
Maybe it's age thingy... now I prefers the quiet neighbourhood, rather than the crowded city.

OH, did I mention my apartment is only 20 steps away from the renowned disco?.... But I haven't step in yet....

Lost again

It's raining in Barcelona today.
Not sure if my mood was affected by it or I am just tired.
I was feeling so negative and moody.
Felt like quitting the job.
I have the sudden urge to switch line... maybe I don't want to be an engineer again?
Before, I thought leaving to a place where no one know me... I might be happier. This is no longer stand....
I am lost in life again.
This is no good!!!!

Excitement

Mmm... I didn't have much fun as the previous trip. Not sure why.
In fact, my trip will be extending for another 2 wks... I have no problem with extending but not sure why I find life boring now...
Maybe I should start to look for some excitement. Any recommendation?
Oh, don’t get me wrong..I mean Barcelona is an awesome place.
Problem lies with me… I am a boring person.

Partial Moon Eclipse - Barcelona

My morning arrival at barcelona wasn't pleasant.
From the airport, I took a bus and transferred to train; in order to get to the rental apartment....
Man, by the time I arrived the train, the lift was under maintance; thus I have to carry my super heavy laptop bag and 15kg baggage up the stairs (~3 storey).
Beside the travelling distance, I am happy with the stay ;-)

Got a pleasant suprise on the arrival night - partial moon eclipse happening right in front of me.
If to be in Sinagpore, I will be likely in bed or does not even have notice it.


Here's some shots of it. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2008Aug16P.GIF

Oh the apartment I stayed in look like this.... was "so-so" lah... abit small

Lost my temper

Yesterday, i gave up my seat to a pregant lady.
However, an uncle "snatch" it away.
I was pretty pissed that I scolded him.
I didn't expect that I will throw my temper in public.
Maybe I am really pissed!

Love keeps it alive

Yesterday, went to changi village for dinner.
While q for the super long q lasi lemak, I witnessed a few interesting incidents.
1. Two old men (<65yrs old)...and I belived one is older than the other. The younger one has insist the older one to take a seat while he q for the food.... Think he has q for at least 45min. Also, he made sure that the older one get his food 1st.
Maybe they are related or just best buddy... it's just show that care/love/concern gave people the strength to live.
2. I overheard a mum (~50) skipped her dinner just to q for ~an hr so that she can buy food for her grown up sons. This is why people say - Mum is the greatest of all :-)

Guy on Bus

I have just terminate my MaxOnline… meaning I will have less time surfing the net.
Anyway, I think it's a waste of money to me as I seldom use it.
I paid like $80 per month…. Think I must be crazy to do that.

Today, while taking the public bus to work; there was a guy sitting next to me.
Darn, he was sleeping and kept leaning toward my side.
I think he did it on purpose as never for once, he leaned toward the opposite direction.
I used my bag and pushed him… he woke up but continue again….
I was ready to scold and wack him if he touched me … he didn’t. Maybe because I used my bag to block it.
I am not against people sleeping in the bus or what. I did it some time too…. Just that, please be more considerate "lah".

Stay or Leave?

Have any of you read the report that an average of 1000 singaporean giving up their citizenship?
Here's the link: http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080722/tap-829-1-000-sporeans-give-citizenship-231650b.html

Maybe in other countries, a thousand might be a small figures.... but for Singapore, I think this is relatively big number (personal thinking).
I also believe that these are the talent people that are leaving...
Why? Does our people and government care?

Long-lost...

Hang out with my "long time" buddies yesterday.

Am really glad to see them, especially the last meeting was at least a yr ago.

Everyone has changed.... to better (i think).

We have grew more mature... and are more successful than before.

We had our happy times, and also the sad times...but this is life.

** Guys, I wish you all the best.... You will always remember by me...

We went to the art museum, supposedly there is a performace...

But it was so crowded that we gave it a miss.

End up, we hanged out at the bar - MUSE. I think that place is kind of nice, especially when the bartender is SUPER cute. :p

Here're some pictures:

The fountain's effect....

The naked status in the museum...named: David

Maybe I was wrong?

Why do "attach" guys like to flirt or toy with lady's feeling or get sexual involved with others ?
So weird!

"Attach" guys here refers to man that already has a "steady" girlfriend or wife or fiance.
I have seen many "non-eligibles" that "sweet-talk" or hook up girls...
If they really love their partner, why do they want to cheat on their partner or have the thought of cheating?

Don't tell me that:
1. they want to spice up their love life or
2. too afraid to break off with the "official" partner or
3. hanging on to the "official" partner because of responsibility or
4. because all men go astray (it's a norm?)

Hey, if they are married; then I maybe understand the responsibility portion that make they hang on to the relationship.
But if you still single, why hang on when love has die? The girl will be more upset to know that you cheat. Of course, it would be ideal if both make efforts work the relationship out.
Listen!!!! -----> Cheating is NOT a way out.

Drunk so fast?

Was out drinking on Saturday.

Met my girlfriend at the Emerald Hill-Que pasa...Had a bottle of wine and some spanish corizon.

Nice tapas... Reminded me of barcelona..

Oh, I am keeping my fingers cross that my upcoming August business trip will NOT be cancel.

After mid-night, I had moved on to meet other friends at Clark Quay.

There, I had only 2 volka but I was pretty high after that.

Maybe it's my medication or the wine or maybe I am no longer an "ok" drinker.

Match-making

Mum was just nagging at me -"30+ liao. still not married".
My reply "No suitor, no suitable ones; how to marry? Later divorce also the same what".
Guess what, she wants to intro guys to me....
Jialet... she has changed her target; she used to nag at my brothers. Now, it's my turn.... :-(

Was just clearing my "dog-room" ....gosh, I have so many stuffs and junks.
Many are of sentimented values which I bear not throw away during the last clearance.
This round... throwing stuff is more easy.
Guess I have got over the past and ready to move on.
Hurray.....

De-stress

Sometimes, negative feeling just pile up and make one's life miserable.
We need to learn how to de-stres....
My way was to go jogging in the middle of the night, usually after 11pm.
This is when the street is quieter and where the breeze is cooler.

I was so pile up with nasty office politics, trip cancellation, bad people relationship,etc.
After the jog and de-stress... I am able to take things easy and make my life better.
When my life is better, so as people around me... because I will try to bring joy to them too...

Oh, BTW... the child that I had sponser since ~2yrs ago, had send me a photo of himself.
Wow.. he is much taller now and am in primary 2. Good to know that life is better for him.
Wish him all the best...

Wrongs....

Whatever can't go wrong; will go wrong.
Trying to make things better; only make things worse.
Any attempt to do nothing, so that nothing can go wrong; will go wrong.
THEN HOW???

Teen pregancy

Have anyone read the straits times yesterday? There was an article about the american teens that are making pact to get pregant on purpose! Here are the 3 links related to it:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/06/06/gloucester_stymied_by_rise_in_teen_pregnancy/
http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/06/20/pregnancy-pact-at-massachusetts-high-school-concerns-parents/
http://www.wbur.org/news/2008/78010_20080616.asp
I think this is definately insane. Man, what has this world has come to?

Also, for the 1st time... I went to Orchard Tower yesterday night.
Started at Harry's; Went there just for people watching... "foreign" girls (not sure if they are working or not) hanging around in group...and when they spot their target; they will approach them and strike a conversation....
Basically, the procedure is gal will buy themselve a drink, stay at a corner and watch, smile and approach the guy, had a conversation, hands start the exploring each other body... and after that, u know lah.
But I can't believe Harry's is a reputable club; would they allow such activity in the club?

Next stop is club romeo (lady boy's club)... Oh, I cannot believe one approach me...asking for threesome!!!! Hey, do I have that kinky look??? I seriously don't think so. Man.... the drink is expensive too...

The third stop was a music bar. The security will check the identity of every girls that enter the club, but not me! Finally, there is someobe out there who think I am a decent woman :-)
The club is pretty big, with plenty of crowd...but I think 99% of the women there are "working"....

Gosh, it was really an eye opening experience for me... 1st time in OT and experience the crazyness. Who knows; I might go back and check out more :-p

Against my conscience

Two days ago, I suddenly have a urge to do something bad, or rather against my conscience. (Yes, I did it and tried to pretend nothing happened).
I just want to know how it feels... Because my way of learning involves doing it or actually been through it (at least most of the time).
Damn!! It's feel damn bad... two days after, I still feel so guilty.
I am sure that most people had heard that doing good deeds might not have good return...but now, I think at least it gave us a good conscience and not to lose sleep over it.
Ok, what I done is not terribly bad (I think); but at least it is bad enough to make me feel really lousy. Guess I have to make it up in other ways...
Conclusion: Do whatever I think is right and not against conscience anymore.

Virgin?

Read an interesting article (30mins and she is a virgin again) today.
It's about woman repairing their hymen so that they "looks and feels" like a virgin.
Come-on, what is the deal about it? Letting the guy "thinks" that you are virgin? Isn't that consider as cheating?

Barcelona in July

Hola (Hi!)
I will most likely to travel to barcelona in coming mid July. This time, I will stay ~2mths; it's shorter then previous but at least I got to go. Better than none.
I am really excited and am looking forward. Hopefully, everything will goes well.

Porn movie!!

Mmm... I bet the neighbour opposite my block is not shy.
He had a >30" TV; closed the window and on the aircon; left the blind open; on the bright light; locked the bedroom door (I assume he did) and what??? He is watching porn...
It is hard to missed that naked couple in the screen...too bad my eye sight is not perfect to see clearly.. hahaa...

Southern Ridges

My team had went to the Southern Ridges for teambuilding. I think the Henderson Waves bridge is kind of nice... Also, it's a easier walk if you start from HarbourFront.. you should try if you have the time and want a healthy lifestyle.

Morally wrong?

If you have noticed, I have start drinking more beers these days.
Actually they are not that bad, not sure why I didn't like them in the past..
Go try the red dot at Dempsey, their beers were pretty good.

Ok, let's talk about blogging. Recently, a young male SGP blogger was caught for being racist.
Before looking at his blog, my initial thought was what is the deal about he criticizing others. Everyone could speak freely but of course we have to be sensitive.
However, after reading his blog snapshot from the forum. Darn!!! He has taken a photo that shows the side of the guy face. Personally I think that is wrong!
I assume he was raised in SGP, which is a multi-race country; yet he is strongly against "certain" race.
What happened to the "good citizenship" lesson in school? I remembered when I was in primary school; we went through these classes and were taught to be nice to all races. I agreed that there are always bad apples in every race/group; but we cannot condemn all because of 1 bad egg.

Bangkok again? Maybe!

Just returned from bangkok. Few things to share:

1. HOT, no it's SUPER hot weather

Now I really think SGP weather is not that bad afterall

2. Nana Entertainment Plaza

I went to visit this place is because of the books called "Butterfly trap" and "Private dancer".

It mentioned about the call girls, farang (usually refer to ang moh), night life etc...

Finally, I have a chance to witness it... wow... what you get there is pretty ladies in g-string/bra top, dancing on the stage with some pole around.

They all have a number tag so if you like it; you could "bar fine" them and and a "quickie" somewhere near the plaze.

Is it really easy money????

3. Food

I think the food pricing in the tourist place is a rip off....

In a decent food court, it will cost S$10 to have a small bowl of green curry and tom yam with rice. Come-on, I simply cannot believe it is more expensive than SGP food court.

4. Shopping

I didn't really shop as the weather is too hot to stay out for long.

But again, the shopping experience is never the same as compared to my 1st time with a bundle of cheerful ladies.

Oh, the mall these days are huge and very new with lots of branded stuff... Damn, people are really rich these days.

5. Ladyboy

Didn't really see many as compared to phuket.

Phuket ones are the best so far... and they are wild too (they would show you their "boobs")

6. The Dome

This is apparently the really posh place in bangkok. You get to dine and wine in level 52 onwards. But prepareg to get rip off....but again, you get a really awesome view.

Maybe getting a drink up there is good enough.

Caution: Choose your drink carefully as half a bottle of champage could cost S$200!

Oops... some barteners are cute too..

7. Taxi drivers

I can't understand what their thinking is. They don't turn on the meter but will bargain the price (what's the point of having the meter?)

They will offerred to bring you to go-go bar, thai girl show, coca cola show, sex show, etc...all for an extra of 50bahts!

Can they tell that I am a decent young lady? Arghh...

8. Ang moh

Wow.. you can find ang moh everywhere. And I really mean everything.... every few metres I walked, I saw one. Probably alot are there for work too... I could see that Bangkok is drawing a lot of foreign talents.

Oh, one ang moh tried to speak to me in thai...along the main street some more... but too bad I don't understand him. And when he knew I am not thai, he was kinda surprised. :-p

Sure place to find 90% of angmoh is the Nana plaza.

9. Hotel

The hotel (JW Marriott) I stayed was really posh and the best part is that they upgrade me to a one bedroom suite (at the price of deluxe room).

They gave me free breakfast, high tea, cocktail, canapes, etc.... they could just kept feeding me.

That's the reason why I put on weight in this trip.

Oh, the pool is great too... saw a guy with red speedo again. What going on with the red speedo thing?

Hahaha... I must be a pervet to capture this?

Changes in Bangkok and ME

Currently, I am in Bangkok for business trip.
Staying in a really posh hotel that costs S$300 per night... which I think is rip-off.
Damn... I have been here for 2 days, yet I haven't even shop for a single "inner" wear. How can? Work will stop tomorrow... so, shopping here i go.
Hey, I found the Thai guys are getting cutier :p
Update again when I go to nana (the red light district) tomorrow...

Treat men like dog

Recently, I came across an interesting article which advise women to treat their men as dog!

Why? Because men have their favourite spots and ways to be touched.

So how? Here's how:

1. Let him run free

2. Tell hin "Good Boy"

3. Let him make a mess

4. Show him love

5. Keep him well fed

Mmmm... I paused and think for a while; maybe there is some truth in there.

Guys, what's your say?

Racer would have to share my love with others.

The "New" Geylang

We went dinner at Geylang (near lor 6) over the weekend.
Wow... it's packed with people, or rather men; China people having dinner, the India/Sri/Blang people gambing, the whites looking around; and of course, the men looking for hookers.
Plenty of ladies standing along the street. All dressed damn sexy and they will grabbed your arm if you are single men walking passed.
The gamble tables are hiding along the alley. Gamblers bet like $10 on each game.
Roadside stalls selling cheap clothes/socks.
Lots of "cheap" hotel in the area.
Plenty of traffic (human and cars) too.
The soccer fans gathered around coffeeshop; watching match and drinking beer.
Temporary tables setup along the road for eating durian.
Oh, we also saw a "almost" fight incident outside a brothel but I walked away before it get nasty... So scary...
I do think Geylang is definately the most crowded place in Singapore night life.

Oh, the durians are going at min. $2 each or 3 for $20/$10. It's durian season?
Who want to go for a durian feast?
Yummy!

Not for U

Have you ever thought that things might not belong to you even though it looks like it is?
I think in real world; we are still living in "fantasy".
Is this good or bad? Maybe as long you feel happy, then everything else might not matters that much?
I think is the same old questions - Is money everything or Is love everything or Is family/friends everything?
Please, I also know that I want ALL; but when you come to a point to choose, what will that be? Mmm.... maybe I should just give and take abit of everything? :P

Red G-string

Last Sunday morning, I went hiking. This Sunday, I went cycling and yes, it's in the morning too..
Wow... Guess I'm having a "healthier" lifestyle these days. Oops.. minus the drinking session at emerald hill (Que Pasa) on friday night. This is called lifestyle balancing...

Hey, my friends think we must had cycled like 30km (to/fro ECP macdonald - Changi Village).
But my butt was really sore after that...as the rented bike seat wasnt good at all...
Probably I will walk like a duck tomorrow :-p

Ok, the interesting part is that we saw a topless guy sunbathing in his RED g-string. Wow...I am definately impressed (by his courage, of course). Sorry, no photo.

Life is turning upside down

What is happening to my life?
Today is just crazy! Work went bizzare and bad news just kept pouring in.
It's like the weather these day... sunny but next minutes will be dark sky and thunderstorm.
Will I ever see the sunshine again?

Happy Sunday!!

Today is packed with activities.
1. Woke up at 7am to do Tree-Top Walk at MacRitchie.
We started the hike at around 830am and finished at 1130am.
The walk was fun, except that the path is kinda muddy. At least I enjoyed the fresh air, monkey acts, trees, green and nevertheless, the HUNKS running half naked *drooling*.
2. Lunch at Viet resturant along Upper Thomson road
It wasn't good, average standard. We had better before; kinda disappointed.
3. By 1pm, we are at the expo for the BikeAsia.
Watched 2 shows - stunts on bike and motorbike. And I have to admit that they are really good but $15 for the entrance fee is kinda steep to me.
4. Left expo around 445pm; Took the train and head to golden mile for the water festival event.
Wow.. the whole complex was soaked with water and powder.
Of course all the thai people are enjoying it so much.
Oh, the complex was flooded with water. Think at least an inch.
They have live concert too.... overall, I still enjoyed it even though I wish I am in Phuket to witness the real event.
Yes, I gana some water splashing on my way out; luckily that I wasn't in white top. :-P
5. Dinner was at Arab street.

By the time I got home, I was not surprised that I am tired.
Still, tomorrow has work :-( *aiyah*

Power!!

What luck! My monitor got burnt and caused power trip. What kind of design is that?
I saw fire sparks…. Good thing is that SGP has a circuit breaker; well done! Else I think my house will be burnt down.

"Not so happening" week

This week was quite quiet, nothing fantastic going on; except for a few....
1. Heheee...did some bitching (about work) with friends during happy hours at villa bali.
I loved the fried chicken wings in villa bali. Oh, they have Balinese dance which i don't appreciate.
2. I played squash and swim
Trying to reduce the guilt when I ate soooo much this week.
3. My all time favorite salsa class...
Wow, it's getting really fun but how I wish I had a partner. Guys, who's game for it?
4. Had dinner at a friend place again; the theme was Japanese food.
we cooked salad, miso, miso samon, japanese pancake (with lots of cabbage and bacon), chicken katsu; drank green tea, beer and saka.... Oh, green tea ice-cream too (Hokkaido).

Oh Yes..... I remembered an incident...
After dinner at the friend's place, I walked to clark quay MRT station. This angmoh approached me and asked for direction to Chimes.... Being a nice Singaporean, I told him the direction....
Then he asked where am I heading to; which my answer is obviously "Home".
He gave me a surprise look and hints me to party with him.... Mmm.... not sure what he really mean - friendly or intention cheeky act?

The japanese theme dinner:-

Quiet Saturday night:-

In town partying again

Last night, we are lured into going thumper because of the Miss Maxim Search. It is looking for 2008's hottest babes! However, we were disappointed because we misinterpreted the intent. It was a search; not a contest!!!!! So we did not get to check out the babes. Damn!!!
At midnight, we hop over to St James for more boozes and dance. The real party ended with supper at Spice, River valley road. By then, it was ~4am when I got home; but I wasn't tired at all... maybe I slept too much during the day.

Few things that I have noticed are:
1. The clubs are no longer as crowded as before; where have all the people gone? Don't they party? Or hiding home and watch TV/play games?
2. However, for those that partied, they are really hardcore... they loosen up and were wild at the dance floor.
3. Another observation is people go to club to look for one night-stand. How do I know? The guy danced from one gal to another. And he has the horny look :-p hehehee...
4. Food industries that serve supper, have good business. At 3am, most restaurants along river valley are packed.

Oh, don't start thinking I am a party animal ok. I went party more often within these 2 weeks because the San Diego friends are in town..... Mmm... I really enjoyed hanging out with them; a bundle of fun and extremely nice people :-)

Also, a girl friend was invited by the organiser to be in the contest but she turned it down... I bet she will win because she is really gorgeous... Here's the info, who's game for it?

My childhood environment

Last Sunday, I went to Ubin for cycling.
It was nice, minus the rain....
Ubin has not changed much since my last trip there...
It is still the same old nature, which reminds me of my childhood.
Living in the rural, surround by trees and grass. It was old but nice memories.
Riding fast especially downs the slope; it just makes me feel young again...

I have a thought - can adult be like kids?
Little things could please the kids and they forget any unhappiness fast.
As we grew into adults, we desired for more materialistic items and get upset over little trivial issues. This is one of the changes that I prefer not to have....
After all, innocence means that we are worthy of love?

Here are some pictures:-
Going Ubin when the sky is dark!! Loco ah (crazy ah)...
The same environment where I was brought up:

Sick + Drinking = ???

Recently because of the weirdo weather, I fell sick: fever -> bodyaching -> coughing -> sorethroat.
Still, that does not stop me from drinking. Come-on, I don't drink that often; but when I do, I drunk pretty lot.
After work, went happy hours at Villa Bali with my co-workers. I think I had like 2 voka + 1 beer... (yes, beer...I have start to learn to apppreciate it).
Round 2 of beer with another gang at Lau Pa Sat, followed by round 3 at Bala, Suntec.
End the night by partying at Butterfactory till like 2.30am.
Damn, I didn't realise how much I drank until I woke up the next day... I'm losing my voice.
Glad that there's no hangover though...

Yummy dishes

Over the weekend, I went to a friend's place for dinner.
Wow...she could cooked very well... check out the dishes..Yummy!!
4 people finished these amount of food....impressive ah?
Oh, I LOVED the dried tomatos in the pasta...think it was cooked with olives oil, garlic, basil, etc.

Suicide

A friend upsets me alot - she claimed that she wanted to suicide and hate me for informing her family about it.
I didn't know what to do especially when I did not know her that well. All she does was tell me that she very depressed and then for unknown reason; her brother knew my numbers.
Also, I didn't have to mention anything when the brother called; they already knew she was unstable and had attempted suicide before
I wish her well.... really hope she can make it through.

I guess everyone has his or her own problem. Family and friends play an important part to make ones grow strong; but again, alot depend on oneself.

Mi Sangre (My Blood)

Recently, I am hooked to this album - "Mi Sangre" by Juanes. He's a spanish singer.... who sing very well and play excellent guitar.
YES, now I think guys that know how to play guitar are so attractive.

Ok, storytime:-
I took bus this evening and it was so damn packed.
This big guy came and "squeeze" behind me; as the bus moved, he kept hitting my backside.
That's pissed me off; so I elbowed him. Of course I acted as if it was an accident.
Mmmm... I think I'm getting really short-fused recently....

Beginning

I have start blogging again.
Hopeful to share more interesting experience/things.
