hello old world charm. goodbye boring.

yet done with packing. i need more time......mood for the trip was affected by the late-almost didn't manage to get, paycheque. so glad that the whole episode has ended. today was fully packed wit things-to-do. one of them being collecting my long overdued paycheque frm that darn ex-boss. surprised he actually wore a plastic face. finally. let's hope the cheque doesn't bounce. if it does....

so worried i would forget to bring something! better double check my list(that is, if i didnt forget anything in that list) had my last dose of jap food today. so gonna miss it and chinese food for the next 2 weeks. and of cos, my lovely darlings too =( no last dance to beat! when i'm back, everything would be different. hello to hike in GST, NOT. grrr. as if we ain't poor enough.

wish me luck on my mission for the next two weeks. tee hee hee. and hope i don't get lost-physically and in translation. oh wait, then my wish for not returning might just come true! hahaha.

don't miss me too much darlings! take care and be flair( i know it doesn't sound right, it's just supposed to rhyme.lol).
meet up after i'm back, okay!



ps. peeks below are dated way frm a month/2 ago. haven't had time to finish the collages of the other outings. till then....

...........................................
whoever said women can't read maps? well, i did my homework. =)


with love from love. i heart the cute hand drawn illustration! =) wish we could go together!

i'm smelling it from afar..

two more days for my random last minute chores before flying. can't wait to leave boring here. maps shouldn't be so hard to read, maybe it's the language? some more referencing to do and sweeping travel sized toiletries off the shelves..travelling is sucha hassle (but returning is worst!). i'm looking forward partly 'cos it'll be exciting-checking out nice little quaint shops, getting lost with a map-in-hand, talking to strangers, gawking at amazing historical buildings/structures, checking out musees, almost like an adventure...i'm so used to travelling to HK, i totally forgot the trips' gonna be totally different. where's the restaurants? where's that mall? where's blah, blah, blah...


i can't seem to stop dreaming about forgetting my camera! it's the 3rd time and i even thought to myself, 'why is this happening despite i dreamt of it twice already?' maybe it's a sign? shite! what's wrong with me! i told my mum about the recurring dream the next day and here's what i got:

mum: why dream this kind of dream? why not dream of 4 digits instead?
me: more importantly, why would i dream of this for the 3rd time? and why would i dream of winning no.s thrice? dream first time, faster buy already!
mum: no what, maybe you forgot the no.s? then it repeated itself in your dreams? means sure win!
me: what the hell....

if only winning 4D is that easy, i would have been a millionaire by now.


i need a tannnnn! i'm only left with these few days to tan yet the bloody sun ain't coming out this week (if the weather reports' accurate). who knows what bizarre changes there'll be with our temperamental climate. sudden rainfall after a whole few weeks of heated sauna. the global warming has indeed taken effect. SAVE THE TREES PEOPLE!

hope i'll be able to meet the guys while in transit. although i've only 1 3/4hrs to spend in HK airport.

i'm hungry AGAIN! argh! control that urge, go to bed, sleeeeeppp.
i better make an effort to post the remainder peektures before i'm off. pray for no bad nightmares later. who knows, another 'forgot-to-bring-camera!' saga might be up again...

........................................................................
we were round the vicinity so we had some chwee kwee at tiong bahru market-minus the crowd, on a quiet weekday. lovely.

the set lunches are good. not recommended for dinner though. no set dinners, and scattered mix of ala carte poured in the menu confuses me.


trying to be hilarious. but fail at it. haha.


one of the bulbs blew out 2 mths ago. so fast! grrr. and my parents insist on us getting it replaced ourselves. =(


the song that's currently on replay mode in my mind.sizzling hot! infectious or what...

It's Friday! We should be in love.

Had a bad dream last night. We were touring the Sacret Hut(exactly where Aunt Justina recommended to visit). There were lotsa lotsa parachuters! whole skyful of em! No, that's not the bad part, infact, it was amazing! Strangely, my cousins were there with me and we were all waiting for our parents(can't remember who exactly) to get done with their leisure stroll upstairs. We were just mingling with other tourists(lotsa asians, i don't know why) when my sis started asking for a spare roll of film to load the fisheye. I went ' oh, shite! i forgot the 3 rolls of films(which i really got recently)! i left it back home!' Then she went 'nevermind, can buy here. What about the cam Mr B. bought for you?' To that, i started panicking 'oh shite! i don't know why i forgot about it! it's also back home!' and she went, 'omg. nevermind. did you bring your cam charger then?' This totally made me freak out. 'omg, i forgot that too! shite!' I woke up straight after. omg, what's wrong with me? this is the second time that i dreamt of forgetting to bring along the powershot G7. freaky. i've promised Mr B. that i'll bring it with me when i visit them, yet i forgot! and twice at that! eek. i think i better make a checklist to reassure i don't forget anything.


Anyways, it's friday! and i've truckloads of peeks i've yet to do collages of! Nouvelle Vague(i miss melanie,her sweeet voice!ahhhh), another beat! session, motostyle awards event, mum's day, recent mambo jumbo, etc. omg. and now, i'm jobless again! damn that miser boss of mine. it's so true, nice people don't necessarily make good bosses. even though they're affluent and influential! i'm praying that he wouldn't threaten me with my paycheck. i just wanna get the damn moolah and not see his face ever again. he disgusts me actually, or miser and stingy guys. in my point of view, unmarried men after their mid-life crisis go through PMS too. not just unmarried women. unless, the men above said, are ghey. i want my paaay!

It's funny how you desperately want to sleep in and spend your precious days idling around when you've got a job but yet not get a kick out of being jobless. hello to late nights and sleeping in. bad habit! tsk tsk. but i'm happy! goodbye weekend crowds! hello weekday shopping! =) tsk tsk, it's so hard to refrain frm shopping when the GSS is here. gotta save, save, save!

There's some Gatsby event going on at Zouk tomorrow and Bern's asking if i'm interested. I will go, only if Takuya's going. He's da bomb! cute and hot in that ad. what with all that twirling around-both hair and body. lol. i'm so darn addicted to his moving rubber ad. infact, i'm gonna hunt the 2 lovely ladies with my rendition of that Gat-se-by song. muahahaha.

Ice Cold Beer and cheeep cheep shopping tomorrow! let's see what the rave(over the food) is all about. i need retail therapy to simmer that overworked stress. that's just an excuse since that stress has long gone. haha. you don't need a reason to shop!It's just the right thing to do for whatever situation!

Have a sweet weekend all you overstressed souls! I know mine's gonna be =)
