i was watching 就想赖着你。。

言承旭 is actually quite shuai...
he's damn charming in the show esp when he gives the mischievous smile/grin...

he said this sentence to ella - damn sweet...
相信我,你是哪种会让人家有自信爱你一辈子的女生。。

like wow....
it is quite a unique 偶像剧 line.

Its just the beginning

Friday has finally come
Tho this week seems to be flying past
It still feels like 'woah tgif'
Really feel so tired I wish I can take leave to sleep at home heehee

Eagerly filling up the last few days of my fav month august
It will end with some anticipation, fear,next week
But maybe september will bring relief
I hope so
Else perhaps my world will topple upside down
Somebody wake me up when september ends...

Next trip: Bali 2011
Bought the ticket at $120
Wenxin say I backside itchy tht time $90 don't buy
Wahaha.....
Oh well, at least now there is already something to look forward to come 2011
Not sure what is there to do in bali..
But I guess it will be shiok to just spa and massage everyday and go to the beach
I really must catch one sunrise/sunset this time :)

Next month I'm flying too
Hehe this wiLl prob be my last flight of the year
Quite a number of trips made this year
Going to fly to penang to meet my clients
Short 3d2n trip
Wondering if I have to share a room with my boss.. Feels weird!
Altho it will be scary to slp alone too wahaha
By then 7th mth is over though
Quite excited since this is afterall my first work trip
Something different to look forward to other than sitting in the office
But there will be some pressure to make this trip hectic and fruitful

2010 is coming to an end in a couple of months' time
I hope when I look back
This year will be relatively good and memorable
For all the good reasons

living life to the fullest

i am bored.

i think, we all should really stop worrying sometimes and just live for the moment.
because we never know when our life may come to an end, or worse, when our life may be in danger (ie. paralysis, stroke, accident etc).
what if we spent half our life worrying about the next half,
but we only get to live till 40?
although we cannot totally just get ourselves wasted every night and spend every penny we have....
because we may just somehow live to 90 years old and have not enough money for comfortable retirement... hahaha...

so, life is really so uncertain.
what we can do is to attain balance in our life.
not be too guarded & safe, yet be wise enough to manage it properly.
we should all live spontaneously while we are young.
once we have kids and our own family, it is much more difficult to just say
"lets get onto a plane to bali. there's cheap jetstar tickets"

oh i love the entire outfit!! and the shoes make it perfect. saw a similar black pair at Schue shop at suntec but was hesistant because i will be so annoyed if the straps keep slipping down my ankle.


love the black & white and the sheer chiffon material of this dress.

woooo i want her legs. long, lean and tanned.
and the heels.

Happy birthday, Valerie!

it was a great 24th birthday.
i think im really lucky to have someone to celebrate my birthday with every year.
this year, i celebrated with csbs, wenxin and of course, somebody special.
Wht makes it unique is that this is not the first time he is celebrating my bday, but its the first time tht we get a private celebration planned by him:)
Funnily wenxin and roland both happened to bring me to eat at the same place - PS Cafe.
When roland heard tht wenxin brought me there, he HUH very loudly and asked me which branch but I didn't think it will be so zhun
Then on my actual bday, he told me tt we are gg ps cafe but luckily it was a diff outlet he intended to bring me to... Hehe, anyway the menus turned out to be different as well. The mood and atmosphere were very varied too.
Wenxin gave me the most kinky present ever received, thumbs up!!
Lol.. I was definitely shocked.
Roland gave me something I wanted and needed, but it was the way he presented and the little extra things he did for the present tht made me happy. His efforts in revealing the gift and these little gestures were very thoughtful.
And not to mention, it was the tender loving care tht I received on tht day tht really made it very very memorable. Simple but well spent birthday tht I wil remember:)

Some pictures of PS Cafe



The starter was simple but very good. Esp the tomatoes, they were in some tangy sweet sauce, yummy




Roland's beef sandwich, huge


My veggie pasta, abit dry


This dessert was goooood!!! I was ooohing and ahhhing all the way.
Ginger pudding with earl grey cream sauce served with a scoop of vanilla icecream.
The earl grey sauce was very creamy thick but not too jelat, I'm gg back for somemore;)




Our shots. How come I'm the bday girl but he's the one getting the kiss?
I demand a refund hahaha


This was taken by e waitress with denise keller in the backgrd. She seems to have aged and is even more skinny now.


Overall, I enjoyed this year's bday a lot, and all the ppl tht usually might forget my bday didn't this year, and thus I m really happy tt I'm being remembered. Some were v prompt and sincere too. But of cuz thr is the -_- person whom I rather not wish me because the wishing always sounds so contrived, like nothing better to say.

I'm not so looking forward to nx year or the nx because it will be 25, 26 yrs! Mid 20s boooo!! Further and further from my sweet 16 dream. Apparently lots of ppl know of my this 'wishful' saying lol

I'm so slpy now, jus reaching hm from body combat session II with jacq at china sq..
I'm not as chi dun today hehe.. But thk my new sports shoes are a tad too big!
Shall post photos of my 1st sports shoes nx time, hahaha
I need another sports bra and socks.. Now only gt one each, too pathetic lah..
Shall end the post with the song below.

Don McLean - And I Love You So

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again
The day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening get me down
Now that you’re around me.


And you love me, too.
Your thoughts are just for me;
You set my spirit free.
I’m happy that you do.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
But I don’t let the evening bring me down
Now that you’re around me.

And I love you so.
The people ask me how,
How I’ve lived till now.
I tell them, "i don’t know."

if love moves in circles, perhaps my circle is finally complete

i realized, finding a lasting love is like finding a dress that fits you well, one that can complement your assets, and hide your flaws.

why do i say that?
many times when i shop online, or surf on other people's blogs,
i find myself drooling over a dress that looked so perfect on that particular model/girl.
but when i buy or try the same dress, or if i see another girl whose body frame is more similar to mine, i will see then "ahh... this dress may be lovely, but (sadly) it may not be for me"
it probably doesnt fit as well on me as when i originally saw it.
or maybe the dress is meant for more curvaceous/taller/larger frame girls.
and that makes me a little sad but i tell myself, there will be another dress that i like and fits me well.... afterall, there are so many types of dresses out there.
and there may be one dress that fits me better than it fits any other girl.

in love, this theory applies too.
humans tend to have this "the grass is greener on the other side" thinking
because we are always comparing ourselves to others,
and comparing our partners to our friends' boyfriends, husbands, lovers.
even when we are single, we may look at certain seemingly perfect (generous, funny, loving, sexy, gentle, smart, rich blah blah) men and imagine them as ours...
but what we dont realize is that though a guy may look good on the arms of another girl,
but he may not necessary be suited for us.
i guess increasingly R's "best-fit line" theory (you may not find someone who is perfect but you can aim to find someone who is best fit for you) is making sense to me.

I googled "best-fit line"....

Best-fit Line

This is used to fit data to a known mathematical function. Suppose you have some data involving two variables, in the form of several pairs of values for them. To find about the relationship between the variables, the first step is to plot the pairs of values as coordinates of points on a graph.

Then if you draw a line on your graph, so that the line passes through or close to as many of the points as possible, then you have drawn the best-fit line. By drawing such a line, we are attempting to minimise the effects of random errors in the measurements.

For example, if our points look like this

our best-fit line should be as shown in the next diagram.


interesting that i am starting to apply a mathematical/physics theory to love. haha.
but it does make sense - typically in our minds/hearts (depending on whether you use more logical or emotional thinking) we will plot ourselves with that prospective/potential partner - our personalities, compatibilities, differences etc, to visualize how a partnership/relationship might work out. assuming we are able to plot these "values" onto a graph, and we can draw a line that passes through or gets as close to as many of those points as possible, then that person would be quite ideal for you. i suppose that is how this theory works.

i think both of us plotted that graph and drew a best-fit line in each of our minds. :)
time and place did play a big part in determining this line though.
i think we wouldnt have been right for each other when we were in hall or when we first knew each other as og mates couple of years back.
and this relationship reminds me of the very first serious one i had in secondary school with AL...
the common denominator was that both started from friendships...
and i guess thats what makes me think or feel that if love moves in circles, perhaps my circle is finally complete, because i fell in love with my best male friend again!
i've been through a couple more relationships after AL... but i didnt share much mutual friends with those boyfriends, and they all started off very superficially, based on "feelings", appearances/looks and just a spark of 好感。。not much knowledge and understanding of the other parties.. and because after AL, i thought i never would get involved with a good friend again.. since ive already experienced what its like to lose a friendship due to a breakup.
but this time round, its pretty amazing and totally unexpected.. because our feelings only developed after we know each other for 5 years!
there is nothing superficial about it, and i hope the foundation of the friendship we had will be the strength of our relationship.

speaking of which, i really miss him while he is away on his tioman trip!
this weekend seems too long without him to bring a little cheer and laughter to me
the next time i see him will be 10th august!
turning 24 "officially" in 2 days time.. definitely feeling old.
even my dressing is more comfort over style nowadays and im always worried that my skirt/dress is too short or whether my heels are going to break my feet. lol
this must be one of those growing old signs cuz i never worried about my poor feet back then while buying and wearing all those crazy heels.
it has been too damn long since i bought a new pair of shoes, not even a pair of flats.
amazingly, the trendy zone nude flats has served me very very well.
typically at the rate i wear those flats, they used to last 1-2 months.
but that pair has lasted at least 1 year or longer? amazingggggggg...
who says cheap is not always good. hehehe.

alas, after working for 1 yr i still have not gotten myself a pair of zara heels.
i was looking at some lower heels options at aldo but i wasnt convinced to part with that $xxx for 1 or 2 inches heels... if i want to spend $xxx on heels, i must buy 4 inches high!! (ok, at least 3)
but anyway that pair that i liked in zara is already long gone
so well i shall wait for the next season.. im sure zara will not disappoint. :)

ive changed quite a far bit over the past couple of months... probably since 2010..
shopped much less.. and instead those money saved went to my trips.. HK in march, Bintan in may, and Phuket in july... (wow, on hindsight that was every 2 months hahaha)
im trying my best to stop buying clothes because, lo and behold, i simply have not enough wardrobe space for all the clothes i have!!! arggh.. even after i donated 2 big bags of clothes that i no longer wear or like.. somehow, i dont seem to have more space!

in the past 3 months i would say i am quite successful in curbing my online shopping :)
in june i somehow didnt buy a single thing online... not a piece of cloth, nor a pair of shoes..
on 1st of july, i bought a $16 top that i wanted to buy in the last few days of june but pushed to july so that my june record could stay clean :P
since august started, i bought 2 dresses... (hope it stays that way!)
its not always easy because women LOVE retail therapy and impulse buying.
but now i always ask myself "do i really need another of this dress?" cuz i tend to buy very similar stuff.... that explains why i have 3 very similar monochrome bodycon dresses.. -_-

and now i am starting on my exercise regime!!
signed up with true fitness last month and after recovering from my sickness,
finally went body combat with jacq last friday.
boy, i felt like such a klutz!!
hand and leg didnt seem to coordinate... damn paiseh
but it was a good sweat for me.. now my body and upper arms especially are aching...
i think i will go for yoga/pilates the next time round... alternate the type of classes.
need to keep fit because my metabolism is dropping!!!
and i put on weight!!!

23 hours to my birthday :)))
and to seeing my darling.

Its the blues

Have been feeling rather down since the start of this week
I'm getting that kind of tired of work feeling
Although its not actually that worrying
Since I will be staying put where I am for awhile still.
Perhaps its due to the cough & flu tht has been bugging me for the past two weeks (thankfully I seemed to have recovered abt 90%)
Or it has to do with the changes at work for this quarter
But overall I just don't seem to have enough time for rest and play
July seemed to pass so fast tht recalling phuket now feels as if it was such a long time ago
But its actually only about 3 weeks+
Sigh..

And I guess with all the news about people moving ard and seemingly riding higher and higher in their career paths
it makes me feel demoralised and rather doubtful at times of my own industry
How long do I have to be stuck at this entry level with the pathetic pay, with no fixed yearly increment or bonus and no promotion?
The climb is slow in advertiSing
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way
But that only helps a little to mute that little voice in my head
Its easy to say hold on..
But it can feel self deluding at times
When you feel the world is moving but not you...

All I feel like doing now is lie down on the sand of maya bay or kata beach and let the sun bake me and the waves crash upon me..

Ill be fine, after awhile
I guess

許志安 - 為什麼你背著我愛別人

i caught this song on 9.33 the other day and it stuck in my mind for awhile.
許志安's voice make it very soulful....
Although what happens in the mtv doesnt gel well with the actual lyrics
the mtv is about the girl leaving 許志安 for another guy because she is terminally ill
so its not really that she 背著許志安愛別人..

Interesting point in the video - when 許志安 and the girl both take off their tops to make love?? haha... i happen to catch a glimpse of the girl's nipple (i think?) when 許志安 took his top off.

try catching it at around 03:27 hahaha...
it looks like 20cents coin only lah, not 50cents.
