Countdown to 2008......


Today is the last day of 2007 and reflecting on the past one year, went through highs and lows...... time passes so fast that in a few hours time it will be a brand new year....... anyway was recalled on last friday for morn and night duty which marks my last recall for year 2007, the extra money will only be credit two months later which means i will get a slightly 'fatter' pay check in feb..... hahaha next year resolution will be to accept all recalls if possible to earn extra $$$, saving up to buy flat....... hopefully the price will come down and will be able to get the location i want......


Recall on fri means i will be off on sat which suits me just fine as valerie arrived in singapore on sat noon, met up with her together with rach at vivo in the evening to have dinner..... before tat was last min shopping with rach for post-christmas sale...... bought things frm zara, wanted to buy another jeans but was stopped by rach...... guess i really spend too much this dec.....



Dinner with rach tonight follow by countdown to 2008, hereby wishing everyone to stay healthy, happy and may all have a prosperous 2008............ =)

A Dazzling Christmas......

-


Woke up at 10 plus after sleeping late from our karaoke the previous night...... got ourselves all ready for our hotel stay in Pan Pacific for our christmas countdown.... we wanted to check in 1st before gng shopping at Marina Square followed by watching " I am Legend" at 5 plus..... reached the hotel at 1plus and put all our barang barang before gng to lunch....... the mall was not that crowded as it was still quite early and i suppose most will go down orchard instead..... (some photos of the interior of the hotel room)




Shopped around marina square but nothing caught our eyes hence went to TIMES to submerge ourselves into the land of books while waiting for our movies.... after watching the show, was not very impressed with the storyline as it left much unanswered but like the solitary character played by Will Smith.... all in all still a recommended show though.....



Our lunch......

Went to suntec after the show, bought a windbreaker and a belt something i long wanted from GAP, i have a soft spot for windbreakers / sweaters though i think i already own more than 10, ...... waste of $$$ again but retail theraphy makes me happy...... rach bought things from G2000 and wat ignores her was the price was much lower than the previous 2 times she patronised there during dec..... complaining that she should bought everything today instead of earlier..... hahaha.... anyway we walked over to Carrefour to get the things that we need for our D>I>Y fondue which we bought last week......

our fondue


The long night was spent lazing around watching cable tv and enjoying our fondue, love this kind of lifestyle...... making me looking forward for our next trip, rach will be getting real busy after starting her new job in jan, guess will got to wait till July for our much anticipated trip.....

early shower

Woke up today at 7 plus and found it hard to get out of the cozy bed but still dragged ourselves to wash up before gng down for our breakfast at Global Kitchen, staff was friendly and the food was good, as usual enjoying my cup of coffee and reading the newspaper and rach with her mazagine while having our breakfast..... the rain in the morning made us sleepy again and off we went up again in search of our Zzzz land......... requested late checkout and it was extended till 2pm and took our time to pack and laze around again....... after checking out, went to queenstown for more shopping and got myself a pair of adidas shoes =) ...... this christmas is certainly a shopping season..... hereby wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas....

23 Dec 2007.....Pre Christmas Celebration....


Met up with ZL & YL to have our pre-christmas dinner together at Fullerton Hotel, initially wanted it at Pan Pacific but as it was an outdoor dining, we decided on the former...... dinner was reserved at 6.30pm and we reached too early at 6pm, thus sat around the hotel taking photos, chatting and exchanging of christmas gifts =)



Dinner was at Town restaurant in Fullerton, though the varieties pale in comparison with The Line at Shangri-La but their quality is of the top most, fresh seafood and nice desserts makes it all the more worthwhile, will be planning a stay in Fullerton next year for my birthday treat..... =)




We sat from 6.30pm to 9pm, slowly savouring the nice food that were dished out in front of us, i was the most greedy, still eating while the rest of them were at their limit...... after dinner was strolling around and pictures taking before proceeding down to our next programme of the night, karaoke....... singing was always fun and truly enjoy ourselves......it was around 1 plus when we finished, drove up Mount Faber to get a glimpse of the Jewel Box before gng for supper as all the singing and laughing have sped up the digestion in our system...... slept at 3 plus and counting down to the christmas eve programme in juz a few more hours time...........





1 more day to christmas......

倦鸟余花

沿路的雪花似雨
心里却感伤无语
冷天气可以穿衣
心病却难以就医

错肩时烟草低迷
再坚强都有泪滴
昨日的街道搬离
今天只留下痕迹

为何你就那么悄悄
敲醒旧梦天天
甜香枕着依恋
缠在无心的睡眠
我们好像倦鸟余花

无奈心结千千
牵动心事圈圈
圈住我的思念
还有扰人的哀怨
倦鸟就此散 余花怎不乱

我在天天无尽的飞翔
寻找记忆中
唯一还盛开的许愿花

rest in peace......


send grandma on her last journey yesterday......hope she will find peace together with grandpa in wherever they may be now....... rest in peace......wish to thanx all my friends and colleagues for their condolences and support......

林宥嘉 - 那首歌



KL trip......

whole afternoon was spent debugging my laptop after finding out tat it was hit by virus.... anyway virus had already been destroyed by me and its back to its normal condition again..... woke up only at 11am today as i only slept at 4am last night, attended karen's wedding at Swissotel, the Stamford......heavy rain and 4 weddings at the same location makes the whole carpark jammed with cars.....waited for half an hour for a parking lot...... the dinner ended at 11pm plus, went to karaoke with kenny, morgan, munyi, mei huah, terrence & joanne after the dinner at party world in Shenton way, no big room this time for us though, celebrated joanne's birthday which falls on the 10th, have a good time singing and laughing with them.....

a little update on my KL trip.......(quite a long post, u have been warned!)


1st day......


chose Aeroline as the coach for our trip up KL as the boarding was at Vivocity and the dropping point at 1 Utama makes it more accessible, been a year since my last visit to KL and the coach service really improves a lot, the service was almost identical to boarding a plane, hahaha.... anyway reached KL at 3plus and it was raining quite heavily, fortunately Toysei was there to pick us up despite his exams approaching and needed time to revise (thanx bro, gd luck for ur papers), went to have our tea break at SS2, a place famous for their eateries......




went back home to rest before gng out to Sunway Pyramid for shopping and dinner, the road din change much as i could still make my way there based on memories.......had our dinner at Esquire and stay for a while before making our way back for our much needed rest after a long day........ our nightmare starts as we got lost while on the way back...... the nv ending rain was the last thing we want as we struggle to look out for familiar landmarks and road signs, frantic calls were made to Toysei as he patiently guides us back, lost for almost 1 hr plus!!! anyway told myself no more driving for the rest of the trip..... dun wan to get lost again....... slept at 12 plus tat nite......






2nd day......


Breakfast was Bak Kut Teh at Klang before gng to Mid-Valley, wanted to explore the extension they built beside it, The Gardens. It comes with more high-end boutiques and cafes...... as i do not wan to drive, Toysei fetched us there before gng to school..... shop there while waiting for Valerie to join us in the afternoon, after she reached decided to proceed to our next destination, 1 Utama, another gigantic shopping centre where we alighted on the 1st day, all the shopping malls have their christmas deco nicely done up, anyway din really walk through thoroughly as it was too big, almost twice as big as Vivo.

Valerie bought us to dinner at this place near Kepong, the best meal during my trip there, dishes include crabs with cheese, crabs with salted egg, thai spicy chicken, butter duno wat (taste something like prawn), before i rem to take photos, all our hands were already filled with the cheesy gravy as we could not resist the fragrant temptation of the crabs, hence no photos for this super duper nice meal......and all this only cost 100 plus RM, very very worth it (highly recommended).......hmm the thought of it makes me drool again...........







3rd day......


Woke up quite early today as we got to meet up with my mum's friend who stays in KL, went out at 10 plus to avoid the jam, reached Lot 10 at 12plus as scheduled, met up auntie ying, and arrange for them to have their lunch at a cafe before gng to Pavilion, another newly opened shopping mall at the city area..... went for our lunch at Nando's together with rach and valerie, decided on the lemon and herb chicken while theirs are the mild peri chicken, can't actually take hot stuff.....after lunch and some shopping, walked over to starhill gallery, as they were having some events, shoppers got to register 1st before entry, our dinner at Jogoya(the best buffet in m'sia as advertised) was also at starhill later in the evening which we have booked earlier on...... went to pick mum up at the cafe as auntie ying was gng back to cook for her family, can see that they enjoyed their met-up after so long..... =)













went to KLCC for shopping again, bought a few stuff bfore gng back to starhill for our buffet dinner.......the restaurant was big with so many varieties of nice food on their bars and counters, especially their desert's counter, countless of cookis, cakes, mochis, ice-creams, drinks etc......all the way till 1am.....hahaha but we din stay tat long......stay for around 2 hrs before making our way to Petaling Street, their busiest street market......it was crowded with tourists and locals......din stay long as we got to wake up early tml for our coach back to singapore.









4th day......


the last day of our trip came so fast before we realised it, quite reluctant to go back..... went for breakfast at Jalan Alor before gng to the bus terminal......truly enjoyed the trip n definitely will be back soon as long as i can get my leave.......(ps, valerie i knw u r reading this nw, thanx for the hospitality u shown, and we will be waiting for u in sg for ur internship at SGH this coming jan) hope to see u real soon k, and send my regards to Toysei too)
