@ 献给寂寞男生 @

简单的问候
偶尔的一通电话
知道你的平安
这就好

在艰苦的日子里
有你对我说的又欠揍但又让我羡慕的故事时
我发现在那刹那中
我已恢复了以前的我
谢谢 ”TVB王子“
* winks *

加油哦
你的”重要朋友“
－他妈的－
永远为你打气

~ 我们还是以前的我们 ~

had an impromptu dinner with my beloved 讲真心和伤人话的电波好朋友 hiao ryl
due to miscommunication,i thought she's going to knock off work @ 8pm
thus while waiting for her,i took my own sweet time in bathing,changing and getting ready
just as i drove out of my hse,hiao called and i was shocked she had arrived
it was 8pm when i took a glance at my watch
opz,apparently she said meet me at 8pm and not knock off at 8pm
- lol lol lol lol -
its ok la huh....its rare tat pple wait for me coz am always punctual
- wahahahaha -

it was hiao's virgin trip to shokudo aka japanese marche
we both dine at the shokudo pasta @ cine before and love it to bits
here we are...my 3rd time to shokudo
i chose an area where i did not sat before
a change of ambiance
we both had soba and shared a few side dishes
i am helluva full and could not gobble anymore thus wastage were inevitable
- opz opz opz -

hiao started work and i am glad tat she's finally on track in building her career
i guess the comfort of being at somewhere new and learning from scratch helps
hang on there babe
soon u will find the cash flowing in just like the waterfalls

*** side track ***
we went to look for jane @ her push cart and realized she has left
10pm on the dot and her stall's closed for the day
just when i was nagging abt her being lazy
we both saw jane in the toilet dolling up as usual
- wahahahaha -
tsk tsk tsk

@~ 快快乐乐过一天 ~@

woke up pretty early this morning
drove all the way to changi airport
all in the effort to send aloy off to amsterdam for his placement
as paranoid as he can be
i made him panic even much more by telling him how dangerous it can be
opz,i am just getting him prepared and also to take more precaution
am good by heart one leh,lol lol lol

after hugging him goodbye,dropped jazu off @ The Link to shop
just right after reaching home,i realised i am freed from running any errands for dad
text jazu about it and she gladly said "let's meet"
in the time span of an hour of bathing,changing,walking,waiting
bus 77 finally dropped me off @ Paragon where jazu was waiting for me
she went for a mini hair trim and gave herself "bangs" instead of her currypok fringe
i thought the currypok fringe gave her a very feminine touch but sadly its gone
her failed attempt to get her top from all dressed up dampen our mood
~ snoar ~
we had nothing in mind to do/go/shop/dine
thus we walked blindly along orchard road,bypassing places twice in a day
~ lol lol lol ~
the weather's doing us good recently despite the rains
we decided to give our soar feet a rest and here we are @ toast
it's a sub eatery of the Marmalade Group
oh lord,it serves PER-FECT-TO ice lemon tea
being ever casual,we used our hands to hold and munch our panini
we had a long chat before moving on for more window shopping

after a long walk and with nothing on hand to buy
we sat down @ killiney kopitiam @ far east for coffee/tea
the day passed by just by eating.drinking.walking.looking
trotting back to paragon once again
we headed to the sky garden and once again to rest our feet and chat
it's amazing how much we really have to share,advise and guide each other
when we went there,the sky was still sooooo blue
when we left,the sky had turned so dark that we could see the stars gazing at us
the initial plan of makaning Lucky Plaza's lucky chicken rice failed as we cht till too late
after several thoughts and despite the after-foul-smell we will have
!!! we still settled for Pepper Lunch !!!
so ironic for its name....pepper lunch for dinner
~ lol lol lol lol,ok not funny ~

we ended the day @ Kinokuniya as it closes late
..... the buys for the day was .....
style magazine for jazu
1 pair of socks & invisible trade 2 novel for moi
i would consider that as pathetic buys as we had walked for the whole day
* it's alright,save for HK trip,lol lol *

苦过来的日子
我们才会懂得去珍惜
人生有起有落
有失必有得
开始的太成功或太顺利
到头来不见得是理想的

~*** sEeKiNg nEw hEigHts ***~

it was a saturday and i had totally lost track of time
i thought it was a sunday and knowing that it's working day the next day
i was sad that i will not be hving a late night out with Piggy & Jazu
!!! heaving a sigh of relief,they reminded me tat it's a saturday !!!

the trio trotted to the next IN and HYPE Sunset Way
we did not know what's there to offer our growling stomach
strolling down the stretch of cuisine paradise
we were ever-determine to find somewhere nice to dine in
we chanced upon this smokey place that served
~ charcoal bbq & steamboat international buffet ~
the whole place was packed and tons of pple waiting nearby
despite the initial promised 30mins wait,we persevered on
due to bad mis-communication and seriously bad reservations skills
we waited for almost an hour before we had VIP seats
a waitress aunty asked the Boss to open up a table just at the restaurant's doorstep
despite the drizzling whether,as hunger has taken a toil on us
we were more than happy to seat at any location despite the awkwardness
too much food to grab,cook,munch and digest
- pics dark and unclear due to usage of sucky camera phone,hahaha -

we did not bother who were looking at us
we did not bother how unglam our posture was
..... all we did for the whole night was .....
standing up to bbq and "scooping" those steamboat ingredients
it was a night we all had so much fun in indulging those delicacies
it was soooo interesting that Jazu got all so excited on bbqing for us

we were really amaze as we walk pass the restaurants/cafes at 10.30pm
majority of it all were closed for the night on a saturday
- omg omg omg -
we settled down at a pub for some drinks and chatted our way thru the nite

冰冷的夜晚
热腾腾的火锅
谢谢你们的陪伴
在苦的日子
我仍然有你们的支持

@ 日本疯的我们 @

***a promise made, a promise fulfilled***
a mth ago,we last sat down for Haagen Dazs at Clarke Quay
just looking across the river was the Jpn-Kor-invasion dining paradise
we made a promise to next dine there after my holis
so here we are
on wed aka Ladies Night Out
it was Jenna's "virgin" trip to Central for its delectable cuisines
we had a special guest appearance
~ sis Hidaya who's finally non-miaing ~

as sis and moi were both late due to his atrocious habit of lateness
J & K went shopping instead and i made them spend a whopping $300 at Club Marc
wahahahaha
K called me and ask me to go "save" her from buying too much
her intention was to engage my help in choosing those tat's worth the buy
however,i guess everyone just know me well enuff,but sadly K doesnt
i made her BUY ALL that she has tried on and persuaded her how nice they all were
~ hiak niak hiak ~
everyone knows i am good in making pple buy things while i gloat by the side lor
~ tsk tsk tsk ~
K,i am DISAPPOINTED in you for the fact we are 双剑合壁 for so many yrs le
anw,frankly speaking,the clothes really does look hell good on you lor
thou i burnt a hole in ur pocket but am honest on my opinions leh
~ lol lol lol ~
J had higher spending power thus i also persuade her to buy MORE
~ i think i am hell a good promoter *woot* ~
it was hell a laughter throughout the whole process
and the stylist who attended to them provided terrific service
*thumbs up to Phyllis*
we all left the shop being happier than ever souls

while strolling and keeping on a lookout for a good restaurant to dine
we chanced upon Kyomomoyama
the reason we entered was because it's ladies nite offer of 30%disc
~ wahaha,GRAB offer manz ~
despite the on-going promotion
!!! the cuisine served was spot on !!!
the restaurant's spacious,service rendered was alright only but its affordable
~ i will b back for more for sure,on discount days thou ~
i know i aunty,but now unemployed bo bian leh
~ wahahahaha ~

during dinner,i gave my complimentary ice-cream to sis as i wanted only Azabu
the main craving came from J and despite being helluva full
we trot to Azabu for scopes of hokkaido's ice-cream
J had 2 scopes can!!!!! liew eh.....FULL.....
i sticked to my all-time-favourite black sesame
sis tried onto the seasalt & caramel
oh lord hell it sucks big time
??? can u imagine a salty ice-cream placed in ur mouth and down the throat ???
J and sis both said its unique and tasty
they are INSANE

gathering with them
made me reminisce on those days
..... days when .....
we all rough it out as a team
unhappiness were formed due to the needed commitment
we all dine out after meetings
the harsh reality of obligations and respect despite disagreements
we all had the same focused goal ahead
the laughters were contagious

i yearn to bring back those days if possible
the team that will never fall
the team that had all trust in one another
the team that rendered all help in all ways possible
the team that were clear of each job scope
the team that was so independent and needed no push
~ the team that was never alone ~

今日已不同往日

11:23 am;

??? 何时轮到我 ???

ms lai called yesterday
my idol ai kobayashi was with her
am shocked in awe
after soooo long in sin
ai decided to head back to tokyo
working for Four Seasons Marunouchi
a great career advancement for her
i am extremely happy for her
..... i will never forget .....
the guidance you've given to me
the knowledge you've imparted to me
the stories you've shared with me
the happiness we've once shared
~ Bon Voyage ~
~ May your future endeavours shine upon You ~
may we meet in tokyo city

***heart ache heart ache***

eugene once told me
he believes strongly in the product (FS)
thus he is selling it whole heartedly and pushing himself for the sales and achievements
it inspired me whole time
coz i'm also a deep believer for the product
i believe in FS culture and mgt
i believe in tokyo's standard of service
only being there and with the combination of both
i am going to shine
pushing myself to the advanced level of rendering service to the guests
i am going to be someone whom i never thought i could be
i have always wanted to attain this goal

two of my idols
mr branham and ai is there
working under them is sth that i see as a gift
immersing into the rich culture of service wonderland
tokyo i love you
tokyo i want you
reaching out my hands
stretching till its limits
i wonder if i will ever get there

??? 我还是我吗 ???

痛在心里口难开

救身圈的生活我已背负到很厌倦
何时正在受苦的我能有自己的自由
带着泪水入眠的我已失去了直觉

现在的我是为了报复而留下
还是应为已失去了自信心而无路可走呢？

承受的压力无人能了解

asia has always been very appealing to me as a holiday destination
however,i guess the dosage i had on aussie is enough
i know there are much more for me to explore on
but i guess i need to start slowing down on the traveling speed

despite being back to Sydney within the time span of just 1 year
i re-visited places i once jaw-dropped on
on the other hand,i had the opportunity to explore on new sites
it was all thanks to crabby's planned itinerary
most importantly on kangaroo li's enthusiasm
if not for them both,i would just be a boring visitor of sydney once again

a celebration for the home-coming of a dashing dude
due to a family dinner commitment
i missed on the opportunity of catching up with leen & ah tek

however,i managed to rush down to Blk 85 in time
for the ever-precious 1 hour blabbering and laughters gain
i was seated beside my 姐妹 QQ whom cracks me upside down
he even offered his lap for my seating,but damns,there were plenty of chairs nearby

i came back with a direction in mind
ever-so determine in pursuing those dreams
in the comfort of where i call home
am hit back to square one
floating just like a lost soul in an empty bubble
waiting for the moment where i will just pop

一肚子的埋怨
气到暴
下定决心不要在为任何人牺牲
一点都不值得
但是我是否做的到吗
我自己都怀疑我自己
懦夫的我

@{!!!~ tHe uPpEr cUt giRLs ~!!!}@

have never failed to meet up with sisssssssstteeerrrrrrrr Jooooooooooooo
always prior to moi leaving town for somewhere in the world
she always make the effort to ensure we meet before and not wait till i am back
such a sweeeeetie pie she is
* smilez smilez *

she was awfully late due to a VIP that arrived at the hotel much later than scheduled
i guess there's always a + & - when serving VIPs
the glam glam VS the wait wait
moi have been in the industry before,thus totally understanding her situation
huge forgiven to her
- lol lol lol -

we both had underwent serious brain-storming abt our dinner location
initially we were bent on heading to White Rabbit @ Dempsey
but just one day prior to meeting her
i read an awful review on the restaurant from a magazine
immediately i told her about it and we cancelled the reservation
- wahahahaha,evil us -
!!! word-of-mouth/book is deadly,BEWARE !!!
sorry Rabbit House,better luck next time
after a few recommendations by Sis,i picked onto my own choice
- wahahaha,evil me again -
i have always adore steaks and The Prime Society came into mind
- taaaaaaa daaaaaaa -
just a phone call and we confirmed our reservation
seriously,i heart the hostess/servers of this restaurant
extremely polite,attentive and they really make you feel at home
its been looooooooooooong since i last had a good service encounter in a FnB outlet
* thumbs up manz *

only after heading home and loaded my pics onto my mac
then i realized that the picture i've taken is a PIG not a COW
- damnz,wahahahahaha -
i am insanely ill for sure

we both loves to share our prime choices whenever we dine out together
this time round
we picked on a rib & steak
~ Chilli Citrus Pork Rib ~
~ Medium-rare Filet Mignon with Bearnaise sauce ~
the mains did not really live up to moi's expectations but the service made up for it
still,i do enjoy the soggy fat fries and the well-stir-fried greens

..... mega toast to .....
never ending topics to share
never ending advices we heed
never ending smiles on self-stories

..... it's only with you that .....
i re-gained my confidence/passion in the service industry
i always have new perspectives of the blooming Tourism hub that Singapore will be
i am hit back to reality on how naive many of us are
i realized we are ever still young for anything and everything we aim to pursue

moi's diminishing flame is re-lighted once again by you
i heart our industry
*heaps heaps hooray*

additionally
today's a day whereby i am re-assured once again
just a few smses from Ms Lai made my day
her ever-mentality of moi's capabilities to excel
her support of any decisions i made
her advice of, i can be back to shine once again after a few years of lying low
i almost teared when reading such comforting words
i am really not forgotten
- Thank You -

@> hEaLtHy gOeRs <@

as am heading to Aussie before Mich's bday
Kelly & I decided to get her out of her horrendous office for a mini celeb
Mich picked the restaurant of her choice
~ AKASHI ~
Kel & moi met up earlier and am glad I had companion
Mich was late due to work commitments and moi's stomach was growling non-stop
stomping into Akashi,seating down and immediately ordered an appetizer to share
- Spider Maki -
we both waited pretty long for this dish and i was wondering Y
when it arrived,i was totally convinced of how much effort is needed to make this maki
after so many years,for once,i've tasted a spider maki whereby its soft shell crab is still hot
the whole maki is so tender and well-filled with ingredients
not much sushi rice was being used to roll it up,which was marvellous
oh my my
i will head back to Akashi just for its Spider Maki
- i wonder isit just the Paragon's branch,ponder........ -
oooooooh yummy oooooooh

while munching halfway
Mich finally arrived and indulged in the maki as well
everyone just love it to bits

i've been to Akashi @ Tangling several times but did not managed to try on its Bento
this time round,i picked onto the Akashi Bento that has practically everything
Mich had the same as moi while Kel had the Gyu Teriyaki

we also ordered the miso paste Bamboo Clam
which was errrr.............

we left the restaurant in a hurry
so that Mich can head to Swatch in-xchange for her dress watch
- kaaa chaaa,trio shot -

after doing some "private-business"
we decided to sit down in a cafe to chill out
we chanced upon this concept cafe
located just right beside the Coffee Club that we intend to patronize
- been there once and never going there -

the theme of NDP 2008
*** Celebrating the Singapore Spirit ***
once again,i was fortunate enough to immerse into the strong values/culture environment
a day we all celebrate on the independence of Singapore,a place so dearly to us all
counting year after year,i've been to see the NDP preview/rehearsal/live for a total of 4yrs
year after year,i wasn't disappointed at all
year after year,i was further inspired and proud of being a Singaporean
a small little red/white dot that emerge as a promising spot
- i seriously heart Singapore -
being a service enthusiast
i've come to appreciate the developments and growth we are going thru
~ there was a time when people said that Singapore won't make it ~
~ but we DID ~

绿色岛屿
洋溢家的气息
温馨也炫丽
独有的风景

美丽岛屿丽岛屿
有爱也有回忆
不管我身在那里
都忘不了这里

跨过风雨
打造奇迹
梦想在这里成形
未来更值得去憧憬
我相信幸福是着岛屿的图形

we arrived at around 3.30pm
hoping for good seats
a pity no corner seats for the placement of a tripod,sobz
but our seats were terrific,almost right smack in the centre
we sat under the scorching and torturous sun
it was only after 3.5hours later that the sun started to set
our butts were in such aching pain that fidgeting became a norm for us both

moi's favourite gadget for the night
yg was commenting that if Chinnyman was there with us
it's an excellent tool to smack him with
the thoughts of two childish pisces
- lol lol lol -

ah chek yg hving a difficult time blowing up the "waving glove"

the hosts appeared in colourful body suits which seriously resemblance Power Rangers
oh my,seriously reminiscing the past

thereafter,changing into something much more sporty
jackets under the temperature of 34degrees is madness

this year was really much different from previous years
there were inclusions of cheer leading,line dancing and wheelchair dancing performances
i really enjoyed it to bits

wooooohooooo
my jazz idol
Nathan Hartono
seriously,his voice melts my heart
- heaps heaps -

the very 1st glimpse of a paraglider from the Navy

my all-time favourite segment of all
since NDP shifted to Marina Bay
there's the inclusion of bay performances
!!! ooooooooooo,i heart Jet Ski !!!

the ever domineering sky jumpers
Red Lions

!!! the parade BEGINS !!!
the initial march in of the Total Defence Contingents

The Colours Party & Guard-of-Honour
~ damn SHUAI ~
esp the all-white Navy peeps

something so local and close to our hearts
唱大戏

***!!! the BLACK KNIGHTS !!!***
~ my IDOLS ~
this year's performance was splendid
the stunts involved were magnificent and it lasted for quite awhile

***~ Love's In The Air ~***
any kind of Tender Loving Care
to anyone and everyone and most importantly
to the NATION

cute cute little puffer fishes
moi's camera did not have a nice shot on this
but it's really really gorgeous
可爱到暴

i've been waiting all night just for this moment
i am just so attached to fireworks display
i will actually idiotically smile to myself whenever i see those colour-lighted sprinkles
it always reminds me that despite all odds,there will always be hopes when one persevere

the whole parade came to a typical end
am someone who loves colours because it symbolizes Colours of Life
we must never live a dull life and be negative
only self-motivation and being positive,we will move on towards somewhere

the rush of the kiasu Singaporeans actions
something i am proud of being

SEARCH for new horizons
SENSE new perspectives
SPRING for new possibilities
SHINE for Singapore
!!! i am a proud SINGAPOREAN for sure !!!

reliving those moments
thank YOU for such a wonderful night
*smilez*
