Ramblings on a Sunday evening.


There are reasons why I brought this blog back to life
and the fact that I move so often away from my home country,
I needed an online diary to store both my pictures and stories.
I tried having little books as diaries, they just don't work for me. >_<

And for the past one year plus,
I've been able to look through my old entries,
remembering conversations and little details that I thought was funny
which helped a lot for my very 'gold fish' memory.

However I'd try to make this personal
with the effort of being careful of what and who I blog about.


*


Would be going to a colleague's farewell dinner in an hour's time,
and was contemplating on what to get for her.

I was discussing with X
who knew the streets of Singapore better,
where to find a florist.


I instead *did not intend* heard disturbing gossips about her.


Apparently this is how this industry work.
The people are playboys and playgirls
and they worry so much about people taking their money
even when they're so filthy rich.

They drink,
they sleep around
and they party at strip clubs like everyday is Friday.


Okay.
Maybe not everyone in this industry.
But does people get influenced by their earning power?

I honestly don't know
but I'd wanna be on my toes.

I want to be in this industry so much
because the money is freakingtastic
but I guess I'd be have to be careful
about getting into deep with these people.


Disclaimer: This post is not meant to hurt anyone's feelings but a little research im doing on my own before jumping into conclusions about what others think about this industry that im working in.

Cambodia - Part III


Continued from: Cambodia Part II and Cambodia Part I





The best place in Cambodia.

Why?
Because they had free internet service right outside of it.




Wanted my Vodka that I saw on the drinks menu
but mum gave me a disgruntled look
and ordered me a milkshake instead. -_-





I read online before taking my trip there
about the Tonle Sap River
and insisted that we took an evening out
to go down the stream.








By the docks. :)





We managed to rent a boat
for just the 7 of us that decided to go
and went down both Tonle Sap and Mekong River.






This was so extremely cool
to see them live their life.

They shower in the same river.
They brush their teeth in the same river.
They wash their clothes in the same river.
They pee in the same river.


Okay.
Not exactly how I would want to live my life,
but it was quite an eye-opener.





The cutest thing,
is they have dogs as well,
which loves running up and down from one end to the other.

Basically there's no front door,
they sleep either on the floors or hammocks
and they actually have cable (tv) in almost all of the houses there.





Naked local children
playing by the river. -_-






Spot the palace.








We were just in time
for our reservation at Malis,
a fine dinning restaurant in Cambodia
with a touch of their local and Chinese cuisine.





One of the most civilize place in Cambodia. >_<






Me and mama smurf.








Isn't the place beautiful?





How romantic.
Candles lit the side of the staircase
leading upstairs.





The starter.

One of their specialties.
I found it rather sour,
which wasn't exactly exquisite for me.






Got lazy taking pictures of the food after a while.

So to sum it all,
we had a wonderful meal,
went home to pack as we were leaving the next flight in the afternoon.





--------------------------------------



Life in Singapore


Things are getting much better
and im getting used to it by getting around.


There are the great parts
and the not so wonderful ones.
I guess I just need a little more time to adjust,
after all it's only been a week.


So anyone coming down to Sunny Singapore anytime soon?





Gonna meet up Mel later for McDs breakfast,
gonna do some Orchard Road shopping
and then Max Brenner's chocolate.

Happy Mooncake Festival!


It's my second year in a row that im missing the festival
and I wanna play lanterns! >_<


Will most likely be going home next week
as mum is going in for surgery to remove her fibroid.

Was talking to her earlier about it
and she always puts on a strong face
when talking to her children about this.

Maybe it was her pride
but i know theres just this part of her that is afraid
and it made me cry
forgetting that we were on webcams and that she could see me tearing. -_-


*






A picture of me playing dress-up
that i found in one of my picture folders.

Will hope to edit all those pictures soon
to be up for the next post,
until then, it's early to bed for me.


Working life sucks. >_<

Exhausted.


Ive no idea how some people can actually go to work,
party at night and then get up early for work again the next day.

It's insanely tiring.

Had a one-on-one training yesterday
and I fell asleep for like 2 seconds,
when she's like only 2-3 feet away from me! -_-

Am suppose to go for 'Lunar',
a restaurant/bar's grand opening tonight
and meet Mel later at 9pm.

Something tells me I wont be able to last until then,
considering its only 8:40am
and im falling asleep at work. >_<


On an unrelated note,
Trading is actually fun!

Well at least i like what i do.


I know. Im weird.

A Must Watch!





No idea what they're screaming about
but it's so freaking funny.

This is part two.

There's a part one here and part three here.


Laugh your smurf off.







Sunday, September 23, 2007

Horrible.


First, we flew to Singapore
and then flew back to KLIA
because Changi Airport was closed due to a heavy rain.





Waited in the departure hall for half an hour
before flying back again to Singapore. -_-


Then they freaking broke my pink luggage.





It's almost as if God didn't want me here. >_<


And if that wasn't terrible enough,
im sharing room with my relatives' maid
until one of my cousin goes off
for his national service next month.

And i'll take over his study room,
*no. not his bedroom. -_-*
which is freaking small.

But so far,
im not homesick just yet.
Missing the boyfriend and all
but still hanging in there.


On an unrelated note,
this Chris Crocker
which came to fame from his YouTube video,
is seriously taking advantage of his fame.
Click *here* to see it.





And yes ChocoLayney,
it IS a 'He'.

A rollercoaster.


That's how my life had been for the last couple of days.

Running errands, sending emails, calling people related to the matters
had become so part of my life
that Im getting so worried that im missing everything here.


I was out in the Juice magazine for August
and i missed it.
Im suppose to be on R.AGE newspaper
but ive got a feeling ive missed that too. -_-

Im getting calls to come teach catwalk next week to some students,
a masquerade ball, a poolside birthday party and an event at laundry
that I'd have to give them all a miss.


All because im leaving.


I would spend hours in the early morning
watching 'Ugly Betty' to keep my sanity straight
and time to just be by myself.


"You're not having a farewell party?" a friend asked a couple of days ago.
"No. I just don't want to be reminded im leaving."


It's gonna be a new country, new house, new bed, new routine, new job and new friends.


I know it's so the drama
and I know it's only Singapore -_-
but it's just weird having to know you have to move again.

It only makes it scary.


*


I guess the next time im updating this blog
I would be in Sunny Singapore.

My flight would be on Saturday Sunday early morning
so i'll see you Singaporeans real soon.






---------------------------------------------


I threw up


... on a Thursday afternoon after having Vodka on an empty stomach.

Yes.
I forgot I didn't take lunch, ChocoLayney. -_-


"You're seriously turning into an alcoholic. You're showing symptoms." During dinner last night with CatLoverEsmond.
"No im not! What symptoms?" i was clutching my head, still suffering from a hangover... at 8pm. -__-;;

"You were drinking and got wasted... in the afternoon. If that isn't clear enough, I don't know what else is."



Perhaps his right.
I should really just turn this down a notch.




Well enough rambling for one night,
I guess I should really hit the sack.

It's an early day for me tomorrow
as the boyfriend took the day off
to take a day trip down to Melacca with me.

One woman's paranoia is another man's problem.


I was talking over lunch with the boyfriend
about a dear friend of mine who has been having some relationship issues.



"I understand a woman thinks a lot. And by thinking a lot, it becomes doubts and doubts become fear. Thus, fear will become insecurity. I think the best thing a boyfriend can do is to clear her doubts, confront her fears and console her insecurity."
"What?! So you girls create the problem yourself by thinking too much and we guys have to clean up the mess you made?!"

"Exactly."

M.S.G.HennWei: -________- ;;

Me:



-------------------------------------------



The punishment.



Remember this angel?


Well thanks to me
who accidentally left my room door open
which then my dog, Snuffles snucked in
and ate almost the entire clay.

All is left of it,
was its left wing. -_-





So i had to punish him.






.
.
.
.
.
15 minutes later...






.
.
.
.
.
.
.
40 minutes later...






Aiyo!

Si bei tahan the face. >_o






So in less than an hour,
I forgave him instead. -_-

Sushi King Madness.


Gonna take a break from posting all the Cambodian trip pictures.


The RM2 promotion per plate season was here last week
and the belles and I
(except for Kat who couldn't join us)
didn't miss this opportunity to pig out at the Sunway Pyramid's branch.





They're so infatuated by themselves. -_-








MandaPicibut: Arent you earrings heavy?
Me: Oh no. They are clip-ons. *shows Manda the earrings*
MandaPicibut: Wow! I didn't know they still sell them...
Me: No no, they are my mother's. I just love the design!
MandaPicibut: Oh... -___-''
Me:





The quote of the day was from Sue who suddenly turned to me and said,


"You know, having a long distance relationship sounds fun. I think I might just try one."


Me: wtf. -____-''
