Travel is everyone fav?

I had a really bad day. Woke up and recieved a nasty sms. A**H***!!!
TGIF so I can relax for the night.
Just feel like browing some old photos... All the way back dated to '04.

'04: Had my very first business trip to Ireland. Feeling lost and weird but was nice experience.
Visited Bali and HongKong; and then had a nasty broke up.
'05 - I picked up Belly dancing but stopped when a good opportunity came by: I got to go San Diego for a good 3 months. Oh, not to mention that I shopped alot!!!
Had a nice birthday drinks with Jes and Foo at the Scarlet roof top bar.

'06 - BARCELONA!!!! Yes, yes, my ex-company sent me to Barcelone for 3 months. With a visit to Portland in between. Think I got the best benefit ever.
But I did recieved a "bad" news when I am in barcelona.
Hey, life is fair? Filled with good and bad?

'07 - No more travel, but had a pretty ok year (I think)
Year start wasn't good but I survive through.
I picked up pieces and start going for holiday from mid year.
Start with Koh Samui and Phuket for diving trip at yr end.
Oh, not to forget NDP day vist and alot of parties

'08 - This is a year of travels.
Went to BKK twice - once for business and another for leisure.
Head out to Barcelona for business again; stayed 2 wonderful months
Cambodia and Melbourne are in the same year.
Wow... how did I manage to get so much time? Hehehee...

'09 - Brought my parents to HCM and then a nice trip to Japan, all before I started my new job that based me often in Sydney.
Not forgeting a yr end trip to Malacca

'10 - Stuck in Taiwan... when will be my next holiday?

I reaaly missed Racer!

Frequent flyer

When people know that I am a semi-frequent flyer; the very first comment is "Wah, so good ah, you must have alot of mileages".
I wish they can be a little more understanding.
Frequent flyer is good in a way but it is tiring.
Being in plane will makes the skin slags...because of the dry and dirty air.
Being in different countries within a short period will disrupts your daily routine.
Being back home is tough, because you'll try to accomplish so many things within limited period.
Being away will make you drift from people, and thus make the bonding difficult.

Still, I look this as part of my job. It comes as a package.
So, not going to complain nor brat about it.
I just want some understanding. Thank you!

It's raining the whole day in Taichung; so I'm stuck in the room.
Eat, eat and more eating to kill time.
Ok, Gaining weight again. Gosh!

Have you say "I love you"

Have you say "I love you" to your love ones today?
Do it now!!!
Life is unpredictable, and you never know when you will leave them.

Singaporeans are conservative in saying "Love you". Please Don't!!!!
Nothing shy about that!

Friends out there - "I love you"!
Racer - "I miss you"

Another data point for lousy food

Had a group dinner at the brew house; it'a a place that serve beer and german food.
Another disappointment again... Why? The food is no good!
The one in sydney is so much better.
The pork knuckle and sausages.... mmmm... I missed it so much

Reminder of my absence

Look at the pile of newspaper - a good reminder that I was away from Taiwan for quite a while. ;-)
The plant is dying as well. So sad.

I wonder why the cleaner wouldn't throw them away

Do I want to be away from family?

No matter how much I don't wish to.. I still have to travel as this is part of my job.
I am not complaining nor have any grief over the job (in fact, I do like a fair bit of travel). I just don't like to be away when thing at home are unstable (long list to begin with), even it is just for 2-3 weeks.
This apart seems to be quite unbearable for me. Now, I really admire a friend for her determination as she has been away from family, for more than 12 months (and maybe more months ahead). May luck with her!

Actually, with recent events; I realize that maybe migration is not a thing for me. I still want to stay with family when they need me and I love them enough to stay. And I know by staying behind, they will be really happy. Now, does this mean I am “sacrificing” my dream (migrating)? Maybe not!
Things changes all the time, we need to adapt in order to survive and live happily. I always thought that migrating will make me happy. So I relook into the fact on why I want to migrate – I want to be nearer to the green and nature (it’s something that you don’t find “everywhere” in Singapore).

Being happily around love ones (including friends) is more than satisfying than fulfilling my dream… I have to weigh and balance. I want them to be happy which in return makes me happy… This is what I want! No point for me to leave and makes everyone upset. Plus I have start to explore Singapore and found more gems.
Migrating might happen one of these days… but just not now.

One of my many love:

Fogging

Been a hectic day as I actually woke up at 7am on a Saturday morning (with only 5 hrs sleep). And, all was just to do house “fogging”. Basically, I bought 4 cans of fogger to fog the apartment. Why? Because we found ticks on Racer, so we need to “kill” those that might be already in the house.
I think Racer is thrilled about the whole incident as he got get to “go out”. We brought him to the Botanic garden for a whopper 3 full hours in the morning. Result? He “knocked” out since 3pm, ignoring all family members that came home. Zzzzz….all the way. Wondering if he’s planning to have dinner.
On the other hand, I pity myself as I have to clean, vacumm, mop the house… not forgetting to mention that I have to bath Racer as well. Now, my body is aching. :-(

Oh, I had an interesting observation today: Coffee shop aunties (note it’s in plural) are collecting the empty aluminum can. Is aluminum fetching good price now? It’s kind of annoying especially when they kept asking if you have finish your drink.

Rats as food

Receive a newsletter from world vision.
It's regarding some food aid appeal - countries like ethiopia, zambia, lesotho are facing dilemma of feeding rats to children.
How bless are we to be in developing and developed countries?
How bless are we to have food on the table? And many who actually waste it….

I used to waste food, which is one of my many bad habits that I am trying to break away.

Mmm... I am tempted to sponsor another child but I need to do some financial calculation.
It is a long term commitment.

Open road

What you see, is what you get.
What you see, might NOT be what you receive.

What you want, is what you wish for.
What you want, might NOT what you need.

What you think, is what you desire.
What you think, might NOT be what it really is.

What you feel, is what you experience.
What you feel, might NOT be true.

The road is open.
The road is long.
The road is rough.
I thought I know the road but I can be wrong.
I was anticipating the road, but I was too anxious that it went wrong.
Expectation kills!

Get well soon

Been a while since I met up with Jes and Pris... of course, the little princess.
It's heartaching to see Lotte in the current statue. She's tiny and tired.
I wish, I hope, I pray that she will be well soon.

Memories of our days (girls only) in Sydney:

Makeover

The weather is damn HOT!!! I had to adjust from a nice cooling weather of ~15degC to 30degC in 7 hrs. How can that be possible? But guess I still survive.
Anyway, I had to on the aircon on my first night home...

Head out to the Suntec today, sending my watch for repair.
And..... took part in a makeover show.
The organizer seen to be like choosing us - just to make up the numbers.
We only have shirts changed (minus the hair do and makeup).. and that is considered as a "makeover". *For info, I was wearing a demin short and a slipper!*
I participate for the sake of "fun" and I was feeling adventurous and curious on that moment; plus there's hardly any crowd in Suntec... so no shy :)
But hey, where did the crowd move to? Suntec was pretty empty on a Saturday? Weird.

I had never taken part in the life makeover show so I consider that as "an experience". Opportunity and chance don't come easily.
Relax and have fun

By your side

When you are happy or feeling down or lost, I am willing to hold your hand and walk by you.

Nothing stays

Count down to leave this awesome place.
Can't help it to feel sad.
No choice that I have to leave. I wish I don't have to.

Before, I thought I can get over it but I am wrong.
I still love this place.

Hate to bid goodbye. Wish I can move all my love ones to here instead.

Check out this sunset....taken from balmain.

Happy woman

Head out to a great Saturday.
Drove to Blue mountain - Jenolan Cave, ~3hrs away from Sydney.
The day was perfect! Awesome!

I saw rainbow, nice cave, breath-taking scenery, beautiful sunset, shooting star, colorful fireworks... I really cannot believe how lucky we were.
And all in a day..

Life is beautiful and precious. Yes, I am recharge and a happy woman :-)

Who can resist this?
