Korea.

 Since i'm too free at work, shall continue updating with pictures.

Some backdrop at S.Korea's international airport. Pretty right! :D

Dinner: zha jiang mian. 

Need to rant here, the tourguides love to leave us out,

just because we're one of the smallest families there?!zzz. 

By the time i had my zha jiang mian, we were famished. 

Waited for the tourguides for 1 hour

tho they promised to come for door-to-door visits in 15min.

Btw i think baby's photography skills v good. This pose niceeee. Hehe.

Damn proud of my own hair-curling skills. Hehe.

Curly hair for the win.

But i'm lazy to curl them everyday. 

Kimchi making!

It was so ez, the instructor sounded damn professional by the way. 

She cut the veg and demo-ed everything without looking at what she was doing,

her eyes were fixed on us. Lol. 

Tried on Korean traditional costumes.

Love my peach coloured costume. :D 

Baby and I.  

Doing stupid things together with stupid boy. haha. 

Yay! Love it! 

Lunch buffet: that's a plate of raw beef in front of me.

Coffee bean drinks are priced the same as those in Singapore.

Warming (instead of chilling) at Coffeebean in the midst of shopping.

Everland. Rourou is my best friend now! Hehe. 

Visit to some museum. NEGATIVE 14 deg celc! 

All of us were wrapped up...

Ginseng chicken soup.

Not that awesome with only one minute ginseng root in the soup.

Well the tourguide told us Koreans are not particular about the tastes and colours,

they're satisfied with meals that could fill their stomachs. 

Visited the seaweed processing factory also.

Rourou's such a sweet girlie.

I want such a cute daughter too, leonard ma. :p 

O^2 Ski resort..

The shoes damn heavy, making all of us close to being immobilised. 

Leo sucks at braking, kept ramming into innocent passersby in his way.

Was supposed to go for cablecar ride.

Weather didn't permit, all almost died trying to brave through the impossible wind. 

The teenage "clique" in the tourgroup,

aged 13-20.

Man, we were the most mature there. 

Traditional way of life in Korea.

The food was awesome, tho the environment was freaking cold!! 

Too cute. Can't resist. 

Pool with the teenage clique. 

Rourou requested for an exchange of numbers. :D 

NANTA was an awesome play! Must catch it if yall go Korea. 

Camwhoring while waiting for the play to begin.

I promise this baby is gonna be a huge and greater camwhore den me 

when she grows up. Hoohoo. 

Lazy to upload more.

Go facebook see. :D

Time to knock off. Byebye.

New year. 2011

Just feel like updating my very neglected blog.

5 days ago we had this countdown at Leo's house.

Alot of miscommunication and bangseh and illness,

but we still managed to plan something last minute.

Apologies to other close friends whom i didn't send a formal invitation.

Come for my birthday chalet can alr. :p

Had a really nonsense but fun time with

Lianne Chao Seekei Jon(seekei's bf) Mark and Jonathan.

Monopoly deal, stupid interrogation games.

Anw we realised peach vodka rocks! :D

Many packets of chips, but leo and i were too sick to take them. :(

Leo's mummy specially bot wrappings to protect her new table.

Monopoly deal cards, mixers, chips, chocs, great friends. <3

 

Couples shots!

Baby and i. He loves this dress of mine, guess why.

Beautiful couple.

Anybody who attempts to sabotage this pair will get it from me. Bye.

Cute pair.

Tearing parking coupon doesn't refer to tearing it into half pls! Hahah!

Presenting 3 pretties, including my Love Bonito Rose Corsage in purple.

Anw i got an extra one in purple, brand new, if you want, buy from me at a cheaper price. :D

Sparklers time! 1 packet lasted about 15min.

Enuf to set Leo's entire living room damn smokeyyyy.

After enuf nonsense games, supper time! :)

My always-existent cravings for Plaster prata.

In case you don't know what it is,

it's egg prata with the egg on top of the prata instead of inside it!

Nice, guarantee!

That's it.

I can't wait for school to start!



Relooking at 2010 new year resolutions

I was editting my blog template and changing some childish words.
Ofkox this is the best time and day to relook at my new year resolution.

Hard for me to accept that 2010 has come to an end.
Why, because i feel as though I haven't achieved any of my biggest wish from 2010.
Spent so much unnecessary money on shopping and overseas trips.
Given my background and income, I shouldn't be doing this.
Really, it's fun at the expense of being successful for my case.
Having fun from splurging on unnecessary pleasurable activities,
hence leading me to be so unsuccessful in saving to 5digits in my bank account. :(

Yet, i tend to forget that there're many other things that i've achieved/kept to my 2010 resolution list.
Having goals are really important, so is having a new year resolution list in your diary/blog.

Let's relook at my 2010 new year resolutions:

    > 8 out of 10 times still late
2. Hand in all assignments on time
3. Read up and prepare work for every tutorial. 4. Revise studies after lectures every night.
     > No time la. Tuition and family commitments
5. Go home after school everyday.

     > Can't change someone's character so easily when I'm not an exercise freak.

Half of all. Some of the rest are subjective, in some cases, i tried to achieve,
but don't feel satisfied enough.

OMG I'm now too tired to renew my new year resolutions. Ok tonight or tmr ok. :)

Some reflections

Had a really cosy and different kinda gathering/countdown at baby's house.
Invited some close friends, some turned up, other had their own closer friends to countdown with.
Everybody chipped in to chips and drinks and mixers and chocolates and it was such a fattening junkfeast!

Tho it was just a small and rojak group, we had the best moments in the last few moments of 2010.
Time was spent on monopoly deal (my 2nd time, quite interesting and slightly addictive),
drinking, countdown, taking photos of fireworks (on the tv, looks damn "live" can! LOL),
playing with sparklers (like kiddos refusing to let go of our fading youth),
sharing our new year resolutions with each other. Naise. :D

Oh yea we played a stupid game "Interrogation" among ourselves, a drinking game
that got every single person all high and horny. LOL. Ok la not all la. Some la tsktsk.
Very quickly time passed and we left for supper at the super good prata shop
just a road away from my baby's condo.

As compared to the expensive Siloso Beach Party last year,
all those bitching and topics can't be compared to a simple house party with only real friends. (Y)
I know nothing will sabotage these friendships we have,
they will only strengthen in every aspect next year. <3 yall, my friends and my love. :D

Now some recaps of 2010:

1. Went overseas without family and relatives for the first time
Which means my virgin experience gng overseas with baby and friends.
Sunway lagoon with Lianne Chao Mandy, Liang and ofkox baby;
JB day shopping trip with baby, chao and lianne;
Phuket trip with Lianne chao and leo.
Spent damn alot of money but i experienced travelling around independently.
I love it! It's like honeymoon with baby for all these 3 trips. Hehe.

2. Worked at Kaplan
Met new friends and learnt new things.

3. Basic psych mod PL1101E placement test
When everyone else was enjoying their hols,
i was mugging for this test. Studying for 2 hours every single night is not fun.
But it was enriching and meaningful, my holidays were not at all wasted
from working and earning money, travelling with crazy friends and studying content i have passion in.

4. Chionged damn hard and tried chionging smart for my uni studies.
Failed and maintained the same standard.
Disappointing. Hence i learnt how to accept failures,
learn what it really means to stand up from a fall within.
I never give up, it's my passion.
It'll still be my moto to make Psychology the theme of my life after graduation.

5. Launched my own blogshop collection
Didn't do that awesome at all. Wrong technique.
Will learn from failure also. It was an experience. :D

6. Started working at Millie's shop at holland V.

7. Trashed out with a "friend", felt damn shiok. Mwahaha bitch, i am.

8. Let down the biggest rock, my biggest regret by apologising to her.

9. Fell in love with corsages.

10. Lost 4 mails worth 100$ -_-"' by shopping online too much on tempomart and sgflea and bonito.

11. See real snow for the first time, on the trip to freaking cold Korea in December with Leo and his mummy.

12. Went through alot with baby, our love strengthens infinitely, celebrated our 2year-8month relationship.

13. Enjoyed family time.
Wishing i can spend more time with my family this year.
I hope my baby can get along better with my family and feel more comfortable with them.

All in all, i'm starting to grow up and preparing to hit the golden age of 21.

Awaiting for my 21st birthday party cum chalet! <3
