November: Ten Days in Summary
I'm quite surprised how these ten days passed by with no hassle. Probably because I spend most of my free time with my friends, rather than sitting at home doing nothing, waiting for your phone call or sms. That should how life really be isn't it. Not that I don't miss you or anything. But I definitely felt much better this time round compared to another two trips. And somehow, you called me everyday this time! Surprise surprise.
Anyhow how, I really enjoyed the ten days! Nice that I've spent it well and just gonna do a summary cos I don't remember the exact events. But yet I wanna write them down.
Cheers!!!

Anyhow how, I really enjoyed the ten days! Nice that I've spent it well and just gonna do a summary cos I don't remember the exact events. But yet I wanna write them down.
- Met Kana 3 times during her trip here. Super happy that we could finally meet, sit, and have a sisters talk afternoon tea. First was Everest Kitchen which Sanoon promised to bring Kana there when she comes this time round, and I was invited! Damn happy they really like that place and the food. Woah talking about it I miss the Indian Tea! Brought her to Canele at Shaw for afternoon tea after morning shift one day. And that was then finally the 2 hour girls talk! We had one year worth of things to catch up on each other man. Totally loved it. Had to meet the final time before she leaves for Japan and we caught up over brunch at Wild Honey! I'm glad we went there and tried the place. Totally awesome ambience and concept. Although slightly overpriced but I think it's the perfect place for a tai-tai afternoon tea.
- Clubbing with the boys! Exact details are already on previous post. Super much fun and totally love it!
- Finally received my 1 Year Service pin! Been waiting for the longest time, plus 16 year anniversary celebration in Kutulu on Thursday. Though my off day, I had to head back to the hotel for the pin and the food. Left in like an hour? ;)
- Same day Visit Les Amis Friends Day! Took the train to Canele Raffles City to surprise Kim and Matt. And support! Canele Raffles City is re-opened after an awesome refurbishment and now looks extremely beautiful! Everyone MUST go check it out! Visit Cake Girl Kim. Anyhow, thanks Matt for Latte and Macha Cake. The Macha Cake is OMG delicious. Honestly the best Macha cake I've ever had. Spare 15 minutes and dropped by Les Amis to find Zachary. As always complaining about work! He's supposed to make me coffee but since already had at Canele so gave it a miss.
- Cousin's wedding dinner at Marriott! I have not gone to a wedding in a long time actually. And this was also a good time for me to catch up with my cousins. Dinner was good and hotel was great too. Nice night spent!
- Friday: Meet Lyndel Day! Met her after work at Orchard for dinner at Ion and super shopping. Haven't shopped for really long and we totally had fun digging cheap finds at Isetan. Hahahaha. For two people who started work at 7am, we had a really long but fab day! So sorry about your iPhone :(
- Come weekend, IMF reunion with Wan Qian and Tai Hong! Been forever since we three hung out together. Dinner at Orchard, Canele for the third time in 2 weeks. Sad, dinner qas quite disappointing because they served very salty Caeser Salad for Wan Qian. But we made up with ice cream at Gusttimo, and a great chit chat session!
- Impromptu meet up with Sham today! I sort of bugged him to bring me out cos I totally had no plans. So I tagged along to get his new BB and traded off his iPhone. Nope he's not insane cos that's his iPhone 3GS while he already has an iPhone 4. Seby came to join us while we were in Toa Payoh and lame enough we drove to Orchard. Caught a movie. Lamest movie I had ever caught in the cinemas in my entire life! Then was an awkward one hour spent at Grapevine.
Cheers!!!

the following entry is gonna be a typically lousy entry about a clubbing session, which i intend to write and keep. about a month ago during a dinner session with Ono, Sham & Sebast, we randomly promised for a delayed birthday celebration for me cum to celebrate Sham's grad from some Guards training. so it was last night we gathered Ono, Sham, Sebast, Des, Jack, Renny, myself and i brought Kim along or else its just gonna be me alone with the boys. doesnt matter to me cos they're like my bros for so many years, but wanted to have a girlfriend along with me too. so, as usual, besides Ono, and myself, the other boys were late and we sacrificed our reservation at Boiler Room. had a long wait to finally get one. drank abit, danced abit, and we moved to Powerhouse for the rest of the night until we were pretty done and headed to Sham's. drank til day's break and totally zonked. wanted to stay for the morning but Kim had to work so i dragged her out of the house so that she can head home to rest.
so the first clubbing with my bros. we have actually been talking about it for the longest time but it never came thru. well, you know how the boys clubs with only boys so that they can fish etc. why wld they want to bring me up with them right. the first feeling was pretty weird because although ive known them for a long time and we've done so much together. but afterall clubbing is a different thing isnt it. of cos i had tonnes of fun and always love it with the boys. :D
always regretting in my heart that i did not managed to join them for trips to tioman, genting those days back in end of secondary school and we cld never do it again :(
well, maybe we can! why not right.

♥ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! ♥
It is probably the best birthday ever.
Thank you all the sweethearts who made my birthday so special this year.
I would say that because I wasn't in town my last birthday. Which was also my 21st birthday. I didn't realized how many people actually cared. The entire day I was blasted with Facebook notifications. Okay I do know how easy it is now for people to drop a comment on Facebook to wish a Happy Birthday. Well, at least they did! :) THANK YOU ALL!
So first birthday celebration was on 2nd Oct, Saturday. Met Sushant in the evening after he finishes work. Drove to Trattoris L'Ancora at 6th Avenue in Bukit Timah. Yeah I know, I didn't say I wanted Italian and this restaurant was not any of the five I picked out. But anyhow it turns out to be a really nice Italian restaurant tucked away in the suburb (of the rich). I had the luxury to order Calamari, Ravioli in a super shiok mushroom sauce and the a Chocolate Lava Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream. Even typing them makes me hungry now! While he had Quattro Stagioni. That's why we'd Italian right?
Next was dinner with the family on Sunday, 3rd Oct at Bistro du Vin. Special thanks to Matt for all the arrangements of the special menu at special price ;) I have been wanting to bring the family for a Les Amis joint. Finally the chance this time to show them whats dining about. Though a comparison to St Regis was by da ge the whole night. Dinner was great at the cosy bistro. French, casual, and superb menu. Four course of, Onion Soup or Tomato something, Scallops or Forest of Mushrooms, Beef Tenderloin or Red Snapper, Creme Brulee or Apple something. Tried everything and the food was really amazing. Second thanks to Zachary for coming by all the way from Au Jardin! And the Moscato to go with the desserts. How sweet right? Second surprise, thanks again to Matt for the birthday cake! The night went so well and my family and I totally enjoyed. Les Amis never fails.
On the night of 4th Oct, ASKY specially arranged a surprise birthday cake which I got to know slightly earlier due to my nosey-ness. Oreo Ice Cream cake from Swensens! How sweet is that! Haven't had ice cream cake for the longest time already and I totally love it! Cake was a bit big but I wonder how we really managed to finish the entire thing. Anyhow thanks to ASKY for always being so thoughtful! Even short short time with them is awesome :D
When the clock struck twelve, it's how simple that is lovely. Even if we were doing nothing. It was much much love :)
Finally happy birthday on the 5th! Late lunch with Matt, Yanto & Kim at Ippudo. They have YUMMY ramen! It was a quick lunch but great ramen. Thanks you three for the yummy lunch!
Met Lyndel for a split second and she came with a brownie! Super chocolatey but I love it! And of course that bag from Krabi! Thanks Lyndel :)
This was how I spent my day turning 22.
Lots of love, :)

O.C.T.O.B.E.R.
it's a love-hate relationship with this month of the year. you know that your birthday is here, supposed to be a day that the whole world loves you, supposed to be. but when you expect too much and nothing comes by, you get disappointed and whines; Nobody cares about your birthday! indeed, to many people it's just another day! don't blame them. who says that it's a rule to celebrate birthdays? and who else except yourself should bother about this day? i think i am at the point that birthday? nah - just another day. maybe to make it a day for a couple of friends/family/with somebody you love, for a meal. that would be a good excuse.
into the 10th month of 2010. too fast. i don't remember much except for 80% spent at work. i have to say this year has been quite a hiccup in terms of relationship. too much to handle, but how i already came to the 10th month. a little bit more to close the year and just hoping things will eventually turn out well.
been too long since i wrote anything here. probably because i have been spending more time elsewhere. i totally get how people don't blog as much and why. because they have a life!!
one working day tomorrow and i am off for another two. honestly i don't mind working because weekday! nobody's freeeee! :(

what is simple.
on the 12 Sept, i had a simple, yet lovely day. i did not wake up to my best mood. the date called me (or rather asked me to call him) to tell me he was full from the meal he received at the temple. when i told him (half-asleep) that if he'd his lunch settled, he said no, he only had 2 breakfast. i finally got off the bed after enough lazing at 1pm and got changed and headed down to nlb to look for the love. in between his study, he took time off to have lunch with me. he left his books on the desk so i assumed lunch would be a 45minutes thing. as usual, he asked what i wanna eat. in my mind was Nando's, what i speak was anything fast so that he could get back to his books. and he said, Nando's. and so we queued, and ate at Nando's. finally, with no plans whatsoever, we ate what we've been trying to, at impromptu. lunch was fabulous. and we took a walk at BJ, and started speed shopping. he saw this chain that i didnt much like. he loved it. but hesitated to buy, and even told the sales girl, "but she doesnt like it" in the end he did buy. becos he loved it, and i will too. this lunch deal took two hours. we walked back to nlb. books still on the desk, things still in the locker. he sat and started reading thru his books, while i picked up a couple of hotel books to read. but nope, neither of us really read.
i had to leave, for dinner with family. very last minute, but we made a reservation at the restaurant in St Regis. its always tough to bring the entire family together. especially when we've grown up. everyone's everywhere. well, nobody's abroad (yet) but still, never easy with 6 adults in the family. and so, we had a wonderful meal together. for a few moments, time slowed down that i wish i could stop it. i was feeling it. that is finally time, that the kids grow up, and return what we owe to our parents. its finally the time, we bring the parents to eat. like how they used to bring us to have the best food they can afford. those moments were so precious. and i loved it.
a simple day like that could mean alot.

Is it just me, or is it the fact that life is really tough for everyone? Are we really taking every bit too seriously? Of course I have been "complaining" how tough my past months were, Work, Relationship, Friendship, Social Life, and the little time with myself. But when I read about on the famous social sites like Facebook and Twitter, majority of people are "complaining" about their lives too. Why so troubled? One friend asked me, "Do you think there are more happy people or unhappy people." I gave a 2 second thought and said, "Unhappy." And inside me, I continued with, "But it's because we chose to be unhappy."
I felt that I had a rough time for the past months. Dealing with work and relationship together is really draining. Understanding that problems are bound to be there, but what frustrates me is how they can't be solved. Things just go round in circles, you deal it today, and it comes the next day again. There's no ultimate solution because there's nobody who can solve an issue without involving emotions. We are all humans. And how much you say not to take it personal, it can never be.
Work - So what, if I got a job in one of the best hotel chains in the world, worked my ass off and got a promotion in 8 months. Managerial position at 21. Handling 30 people under my care, and a biggest department in the hotel. Especially for the past 5 months, my every single day at work is almost twice the pressure and workload compared to what before. Frustrations with the piling workload, conflicting orders, adding responsibilities, shortage of manpower and supplies, rejections, small talks behind your back. But how the day still have to operation. And miraculously how everyday still able to go by. It was from the past 5 months, that I feel that I am truly learning how to deal with the big P - People. And I am still. Everyday is still a war.
Passion never runs out.
It's People who break you.
Relationship - Going on for the longest time. Now I can't even decide if it is healthy or not. Almost everyone close to me would have heard a part or two regarding this complicating relationship going on. There are days that I am truly happy, other days I question what's going on, a few I simply don't bother. I am at the point that I don't know what I want anymore. I am just living days like how it should be. No excitement, no anticipation, no thinking of future, just letting where destiny is bringing me. (Eeyer, passe line) All these while I know, I want, and I still enjoy spending time with him. While in and out, sweet things still happen, arguements are still there, laugher and jokes are still around, encourgements still for each other. Really don't know where all these will bring us to, but I just hope for the best, for the both of us.
Vacation - It was finally here. The big vacation that I have been looking forward to, and also created a big mess while planning and what not. I did all what I didn't plan to. Shortened the trip from 3 nights to 2. When initially I wanted to add on an additional night to 4. Bought a ticket on a budget airline when argued over my policy of never taking an LCC. Went with my Mum & Sister instead when it was our vacation. But after the trip, I never regretted any single bit of what took place. 2 nights was defnitely enough to spend in Langkawi. Both return flights by AirAsia were quick and smooth, and a good timing so that I can be back on time to Fam Stay. And bringing the closest ladies in my life for an eye-opener to what the Four Seasons is all about. I had a great time with my Mum & Sis over the weekend of 20-22 Aug. We gave ourselves a treat dining in, romantic under-the-stars dining experience and marvelous breakfast spread, and budget dinner of RM20 Night Market street food. Of course the awesome landscaping, huge beach and beautiful sea. We came back refreshed and recharged.
Fam Stay - Just in time, for the day I landed back from Langkawi. Room was ready early and I managed to check in at 2pm. Laze on the comfy bed & pillows until the partner-in-crime came in the evening. We were just having fun in the room, browsing the TV channels and treating ourselves like guests. He was mad crazy that day, couldn't even concentrate on studying which he claims that he want to. Dinner reservations was at 7pm at 190. Dinner was good and drinks over at the bar was even better. Tuck into bed watching Man Utd match and just fell asleep. Ordered Room Service breakfast in the morning. Best to have it sent to the room. Laze somemore until Lyndel came over for lunch at Jiang-Nan Chun. Awesome to have LCO until 5pm so I just continue lazing in the room until then. It was just a great simple 24 hour spent and how I wish everyday was just like that.
Dinner & Dance 2010 - Last night was the much-anticipated D&D finally. Those plannings, meetings, dance practice, choreographing, forming the dancers, ideas for the musical. Being the sub-committee, was "forced" to form up a team representing Housekeeping for the Musical Performance. So I felt why not, for top prize money $1,000. Being the team leader and having to coordinate everything and bringing everyone in for dance practice and rehearsals was tough. And there were so many input from different people who's involved and not involved. Even until the last day we were still editting our song! Nevertheless our idea was great. The whole night was much much fun. Was early busy setting up for the Voting booth. Escaped the booth leaving it to another 2 members and went to help the Emcee with dressing up. He is so fickle-minded! Still, managed to get him down to ballroom by 6.40pm. I continued with my duty at the Voting Booth until damn bored and we decided to close the booth since everyone was in already. After tabulation, which the programme has already started, I rushed in to grab some food before preparing for our performance again. Awesome spread btw! Grilled Chicken, Rack of Lamb, Sauteed Prawns, Pasta, Sushi, insane desserts which I did not have any. OMG still regret not eating more. Lined up the 4th performance of the night, great performance we did, everyone was super high during our dance! Good story line la. After dance I had to change back to my outfit and was then running around already, I can't remember what I was doing! Why I didn't eat some more? :( After the end when the dance floor was opened, party part two man! So many people were on the dance floor and insane dancing and much much fun, all the way until 11pm that the committee had to chase people home. Cannot say enough, how much fun I had.
OH did I not mention??? And we did.
Housekeeping WON the Best Musical Performance!!!
The entire department blasted into joy when annouced. It was a lengendary moment when all of us (we had like 5 tables worth of people???) spring up our seats when our team called up for the best performance! And the entire team just chionged up the stage and was so jumpy, like we won Premier League Championship! I'm so proud of them, and all the hardwork we putting in all worth it. And of course, $1,000 CASH PRIZE!
Besides not eating enough, I did not take enough pictures as well. Still, AWESOME FUN.

Dinner & Dance 2010 - Last night was the much-anticipated D&D finally. Those plannings, meetings, dance practice, choreographing, forming the dancers, ideas for the musical. Being the sub-committee, was "forced" to form up a team representing Housekeeping for the Musical Performance. So I felt why not, for top prize money $1,000. Being the team leader and having to coordinate everything and bringing everyone in for dance practice and rehearsals was tough. And there were so many input from different people who's involved and not involved. Even until the last day we were still editting our song! Nevertheless our idea was great. The whole night was much much fun. Was early busy setting up for the Voting booth. Escaped the booth leaving it to another 2 members and went to help the Emcee with dressing up. He is so fickle-minded! Still, managed to get him down to ballroom by 6.40pm. I continued with my duty at the Voting Booth until damn bored and we decided to close the booth since everyone was in already. After tabulation, which the programme has already started, I rushed in to grab some food before preparing for our performance again. Awesome spread btw! Grilled Chicken, Rack of Lamb, Sauteed Prawns, Pasta, Sushi, insane desserts which I did not have any. OMG still regret not eating more. Lined up the 4th performance of the night, great performance we did, everyone was super high during our dance! Good story line la. After dance I had to change back to my outfit and was then running around already, I can't remember what I was doing! Why I didn't eat some more? :( After the end when the dance floor was opened, party part two man! So many people were on the dance floor and insane dancing and much much fun, all the way until 11pm that the committee had to chase people home. Cannot say enough, how much fun I had.
OH did I not mention??? And we did.
Housekeeping WON the Best Musical Performance!!!
The entire department blasted into joy when annouced. It was a lengendary moment when all of us (we had like 5 tables worth of people???) spring up our seats when our team called up for the best performance! And the entire team just chionged up the stage and was so jumpy, like we won Premier League Championship! I'm so proud of them, and all the hardwork we putting in all worth it. And of course, $1,000 CASH PRIZE!
Besides not eating enough, I did not take enough pictures as well. Still, AWESOME FUN.

i had a terrible time trying to sleep well for the past many days. i couldn't. no matter how hard i tried. its probably also because i tried too hard to sleep. simply too many things in my mind. wasnt my best days and struggling thru' alot. i was really tired at one point that i wanna give up on things, well, technically i did. but i couldn't. sometimes my mind and my heart conflict too much. i wish i was a simpler person. and just keep what belongs to the mind, to think, and what belongs to the heart, to feel. i am too complex. my mind and my heart work too well together. at some moments, my mind wins over my heart to make a decision. for very long my decision stays, until my heart suddenly win my mind over, which results in big mistakes. couldn't imagine the struggles that i was facing, or rather, that we were facing. both of us nearly at our wits end. not only i was falling off the edge (as i claimed). i didnt imagine what i did almost pushed him off the edge too.
i thank those people i talked to. and shared my heart with. those people who listened. those we stood by me. those who talked sense to me. those who gave me that slap, and woke me up. including you. i very regret for giving up, for quitting. i shldnt have done it. shldnt have. now its almost the rainbow after the rain. the rainbow without the colours yet, i need to paint them up. it will take time, maybe alot, maybe awhile. but i just hope that my heart can keep the patience, and my mind can control my actions.
let's see what brings us ahead. keeping my faith, and my love.
btw, the sister's gonna start school in no time and moving into hostel. she's gonna leave me alone in the bedroom and myself to sleep with. will miss her so bloody much :( after goin' thru so much, i know i really really love her.
sleepy tired. let me try to sleep.
ilueveryday.

eee. three more months.
hate to think that I will be turning 22 in three months. I just find that the number "22" sounds really - gross? 21 seems perfect. you feel young, energetic and wanna have lots of fun. but you're good enough to make your own decisions and be yourself. so I gotta enjoy myself for the next less-than-three-months, instead of feeling complex everyday yaye? been pretty down the last couple of weeks. but not anymore! I shall be as happy as before :D
picked up a bit of party skills over the last few months. did a bit of drinking and late night parties but now I just feel that I pretty much had enough of it. afterall, this is not who I am. occassionally is fine, but I totally pretty to sit and sip the beer than dancing away with ear blasting music. oh, reminds me I really miss hopping on the bridge with a can of beer, people watching. that's my favourite thing to do on Friday nights, gonna head back there some day! didn't I just said I don't want to do drinking and partying anymore? LOL at myself.
I talked nothing about it and tonight's the last game of World Cup 2010 already. yes, some people call it Finals? ohmgeeee. follow almost zero besides listening to how my colleagues talked about the game. you know when you work in the hospitality industry? my workplace is like a mini South Africa. not so interested in the games but I think I am still going to watch a bit later if not it's gonna be another 4 years. if no World Cup 2014 how?
now I can push boon, sam and the rest one post down. I know its been too long for a good post.
ned vs esp.
may the best team win.

a day, well spent ♥
24th June, looking forward to this day for the longest time. it was long-awaited Top Table lunch with Matty! thanks Kim for making the reservation, and adding a plus-one after knowing that Matt is bringing a Korean girl??? I was like utmost SHOCKED when I heard about it. so today, after much pleasing my Mum, I managed to get the car and drove to school. still! I can be late, but first to arrive. and soon comes Kim, Matt and the Korean girl, *drumroll* YANTO!! like super shocked! I totally didn't expect that it was him coming laaaaa. some Korean girl huh Matt. tsk.
so we had a great lunch, new menu, totally yummy. Mushroom Soup for my starter, never fail. Leg of Lamb for main, full of flavour and cooked to perfection, Creme Brulee for dessert, very eggy, I like! and of course, complimentary bottle of Moss Wood Merlot 2007 from Mr. Sim! how to not love TCA and the lecturers?! must be thanks to big shot Matt! so had lots of catch ups (but not enough) and the good food and good wine. had to finish early since the busy men are always busy. I stayed in school for abit with Kim while waiting for Qian.
when Qian finally came, we headed to the Siglap. and thanks, we took don't know how long rounding that area and finally arrived at Udders. tried the Durian Ice Cream topped on a freshly baked waffle. pretty good I must say, for a huge-ass big scoop of ice cream. then we went round that area again, up and down Siglap, Katong, Siglap, Katong and finally found a place to park for dinner - Katong Laksa! been years since I was there because that area you totally need to drive? so inconvenient! had another huge-ass big bowl of Katong Laksa which was pretty yummy. all that cholesterol from the coconut milk, zomg. had a fun evening getting lost in the East with Qian and all the catch ups too. finally dropped her off at home and was me back in my hole.
waiting for some pictures from Pau & Qian. I'm pretty tired from the day..
and I miss you, like totally.

Zeeee Awesome Saturday
been very long, really very long, that I last enjoy a good Saturday with some friends from the school. started off with a quite-easy day at work, not too many arrivals and had my hands on all my projects which has been pending since awhile. my training powerpoint checked, my training notice board checked, which costed me at least 3 hours in total doing 'em. how can you imagine if i also had to put in my time for 40 rooms per day! managed to finish the day at 3-ish.
Sam called me up for his comms parade yesterday. I was initially planning to drive to work and off to Safti (since it's at the other end of the island) to attend the parade. but on Friday night then I realised both Mum & Dad are working on Saturday which leaves me with no car! I almost had to give up going because I know I wouldn't be able to be there on time until Nic decided to pick me up from work! finally she came and we all headed to Safti together. after a long PIE ride we finally got there, nice (huge) place. and the parade was awesome!!! it totally made me miss all those parade days in SJAB! the weather was all good for a great parade. it was the best time when family & friends were invited to the parade square and put on the 2LT ranks for the newly commissioned officers. fun time searching for your friend! LOL it was in a big chaos. and of cos the second part when they throw their peak caps and finally announced that they're commissioned. and when everyone got back to the parade square and take photos. chaos second time!! I was trying to look for other familiar faces which I couldn't find! only managed to see Sam (of cos), Boon, Adler, Edric. I don't know where Sebast & YL missing to. too dark and everyone looked the SAME. not forgetting alot of them are sooooooo cute! but like 80% had their girlfriends around so.. it's just funny la, how Nic, Pau and I just trying to point out, "there! that one my boyfriend!" and how we look at all the girlfriends only having eye's on their boyfriends. and how the girlfriends awkwardly sitting with the boy's parents. all so funny! :D
after some photo-taking and screaming sessions on the parade square, we finally had to leave because the boys and their parents had to go for dinner. those smugglers like us are not invited la. and we had to take a longgggggg walk back out to the entrance/exit. oh did I already mention that the Comms Parade was really AWESOME fun! the parade + seeing your friends getting commissioned after those long hard trainings, I think I can especially feel them when they got their ranks on. **AHH those were the days** I am so glad that I went :)
then was dinner at Jurong Point before I was sent home, the wrong way and took a spin around Singapore. it was a good spin because it let me try on most expressways in Singapore. good for me, new driver ;) I got home and knocked out for about an hour before I took the car out again, for another spin, to meet for supper with NCPB + Sam invited! headed to CGH and pick Sam up first. got lost (part 1), and took another 10 minutes to arrive at CGH. the moment I accidentally got on PIE, I was like shit, just exit the next whatever and find my way again. finally picked up the tired Sam and headed to Nic's place. got lost (part 2). slightly in her estate where three four streets all named the same! how can like that! finally got her into my car at almost 1am and drove to desker road's dimsum. got lost (part 3 and 4). was turning round and round and finally came to desker. and that was already 1.30am. Gen & Boon came and finally the long awaited reunion for NCPB and a new starving mate. ended the dimsum spree at 3am and sent Nic & Sam back home before I finally arrived at 4am. couldnt survive the 24th hour being awake and was on to bed.
before I slept I receive a very nice well-wishing text which gave me a better sleep. thank you my dear friend. I'm very well now. you know who you are (:
what an awesome day, (with no speaking to you?) I enjoyed truly.

sometimes fate complicate things.
you, i asked for nothing but you can give me your world. you do the sweetest things and make me happy. you always listen and give your advices. you always remembers the smallest things. you always pray for me and wish everything was perfect in my life. but, you're not here.
you, i yearn for things but you never give. i hope for a little more but they never come. i want you to stay but you choose to go. you never know what i want. and, you're here with me.

listen, and learn
It's an I entry.
It's an I entry.
I haven't truly dealt with this before. Conclusion - It is so tough! Nothing is ever ideal, so it depends on how much you can make it as ideal as possible. I'm beginning to feel how tough it is to keep everything going. It might not be as hard as it seem to be, because sometimes I just feel that things are like that because of how I turn it to be! But what to do when your emotions doesn't follow your mind. My heart wants me to do this, but my mind clearly not. A moment I can be very understanding, the next I can be so demanding. I hate myself sometimes, I hate the reality the other times. I have moments I want to give up really, I don't think I am ready to deal with all these emotions and thinking, but when will I ever?
I don't see it as this phase of life being the most difficult yet. But it's tough, I know. There're just so many things happening to me, and at the same time, I have to deal with yours. I am tired, very very tired. Don't know why I get so exhausted easily, but I feel I really need another break already. Work hasn't been very smooth, I don't want to say, I don't want to cry about it. People always think that work has been great for me, in fact, not. I am dealing the same shit as everyone else. Yes I do want to see it as a growing stage, or is it too much for me to take? I can totally say that I am just at the start, at the beginning. 1 year and 2 months into my work, I'm not a newbie anymore. They don't give me chance, the world don't give me chance anymore. Stay tough.
On the other hand, all I ask for is some concern. I don't want to be vexed about things even outside work. Supposed to get a listener and not problems. I don't know if this is what I want.
Afterall the rants, I'm thankful for Azmi, always. Thank you for listening, and teaching me. I was especially listening to your advices today. I hope to learn, and I want to grow. Thank you :)
In a nutshell, I haven't been too happy lately.

On the other hand, all I ask for is some concern. I don't want to be vexed about things even outside work. Supposed to get a listener and not problems. I don't know if this is what I want.
Afterall the rants, I'm thankful for Azmi, always. Thank you for listening, and teaching me. I was especially listening to your advices today. I hope to learn, and I want to grow. Thank you :)
In a nutshell, I haven't been too happy lately.

We all fall in love sometimes
3am.
just finished a movie.
stomach's empty.
eye's so sleepy.
received a text from Sister Kana.
just a simple Finished packing...;) made me feel so heartwarming.
miles we are away from each other, but I know I always have her somewhere.
I can't wait to have her back, for just a little time.
Welcome Back! (the Four Seasons way)

of stars and strips
hectic. my time is not like mine anymore. been spending more of my time with other people and leaving myself out of my own world. finally im sitting right beside my bed, spending time with myself. although i subconsciously still want to receive a text from you, but im glad i have revived my freedom. nah, not that serious. just getting slightly tired and needs to be alone. my life has been pretty messed up. not entirely negatively, but i can feel the difference which im not getting used to it yet, when i think about it. other times i just don't have time to think about it. haha. havent been writing a proper entry, because there's nothing proper happening.
im doing 50:50 with work and you. beside that leaving very little time with family and friends. apologize but i always try. work has still been the bigger portion of where my time is commited in. but sadly, there's nothing much exciting about it anymore. there's always so much to learn, but the slow-down has definitely slowed me down too. i don't know how long my fuel and keep on burning, but i do have in mind to get back to books at times. or maybe, i just need another break, too soon. but anyhow, i don't want to use my time here learning nothing new, and doing the same things everyday. there's only so much i can learn by myself.
sweet. i just opened my sister's phone and i see the wallpaper is a picture of me and her (:
i think i have been following this particular person on twitter and i don't even know who she is. -.- anyway Four Seasons Sin is going on twitter soon. i quite surprised on the channel they're using but anyhow, whatever way to reach the market la hor! join us on twitter! :D
yay, supper's back! goodnight y'all.

last few hours, i had many things to party away before the freedom gets "taken" away. heehee. first was the awesome 21st birthday for Vian on Saturday at Simei Green. drove to work and picked up KokWei before heading to the east. so much fun driving! loved it. theme was Prints & Patterns. had a hard time deciding what to wear seiously! my sister was saying if i want to look funny-kind or chio-kind, anyway ended up with a dress, EASY! it was also a nice catching up session with the sjab friends again. always enjoy spending time with them, always lah!
last night had another great dinner at my colleague's place. the Sembawang people! those off people were there earty to cook, while the rest came from work together. its actually very fun, besides Marian and myself, all PRCs lah! but still, they're a funny group of people, lots of food and beer to go around. table-ful of food!! like 10 over dishes. had two big bowls of rice and many dumplings. awesome time, awesome dinner! :D
had an early morning to the airport today. i was in fact earlier than i thought i would be. waited for nearly an hour but it didnt felt like it cos i had fun observing the people around. there was this SQ girl quarrelling with her boyfriend for past 20minutes. i didnt hear the entire conversation but was guessing that the boyfriend did not pick her up or something like that. why leh, cannot go home yourself ah?? tsk, expectations. this other girl who was sitting beside me, she reached earlier than i am. i thought that she must be waiting for her boyfriend cos she looked so anxious. i even saw her popping a mint before her "friend" came out. in turn, it was an other SQ girl!! her friend la.. that SQ who came out looked super young. must be those noob air stewardess. cannot imagine im starting to see SQ girls younger than me. opppppps.

"You're Here!"
another 4 days went by. very quick. in 70 hours, I will probably be facing a very difficult 9 days. but if the past 4 days past by in such a flash, that 9 days shouldn't be a problem. I have always been strong about this and I shall face it good. Go Sockers, it's gonna be all well!
I came down with a very bad cold again yesterday. so bad that it's actually the first time I felt cold, chilly at a normal Singapore weather. I was indoor no doubt, but I felt it was going to faint, and nothing in the body keeping me warm. I had to spam on medicine because the cold was so bad. finally I couldn't continue at work and had to leave early. and I had the best 2.5 hours nap in a very very long time. totally, lack of sleep la!
midnight grocery shopping at Mustafa last night. so much fun, because we were so sleepy yet we just want to do some midnight walk + shopping. of course we need to settle for some supper. headed to Desker Rd's dim sum place but wasn't opened! super sad, and what else you can get in Little India wld probably be prata.
today - is awesome. finally did something different. super housewife can! cooked lunch - Kong Bao Chicken & Oyster Sauce Xiao Bai Chye. yummy max, refilled rice 6 times!! LOL, fill the stomach first, most important ;) also helped with cleaning the house. vacuum, dusting, it didn't feel like an off day. need to start charging la! hahaha :D
okay, and I also watched Ip Man (first movie) today. super shiok.
yep one day less. let's go.

been forever,
sorry for the lag in entries. I don't know where I have been but life has definitely got different, and busier. to say I have finished my month-long afternoon shifts and finally back to working in the day. but also because of that, I had to do a month-long 7am shift, which means I have half a month more to go. but GOOD THING I have been finishing rather on time, so that I can at least go off early, and not get stuck in the hotel till sunset.
last night was Stella's 21st birthday party! it was super fun to see so many of the stjohn people coming. and only intended to meet Vivian at Pasir Ris, we got on to meet up with Adrian, Isa, Kaiyi, Jan and Nai altogether. most of us were pretty dressed for the theme. esp for Kaiyi and Nai. they winner lah! both of them shld totally get the Best Dressed. check out the photos on FB, they were totally awesome! although a short night, the company was really superb. I cannot describe how much I enjoyed myself over that 2 hours together. all those laughters, cam-whorings, stjohn cheers. although we don't get to meet often, we still can easily have a high time together with so much fun. oh and we also totally shld win the Best Group thing. we were so enthu lah! stjohn members lah, piece of cake to get high (without alcohol!)
today! date with Amelie & Sushant for brunch at Jiang-Nan Chun. totally looking forward to it since the longest time. mutiply by 2, brunch was totally awesome as well! the food was superb, I really love the Cod Fillet, and many other things we ordered off the menu. the number of prawns we had today... HAHAHA ALOT! it was ZOMG rocking good! eat until stomach maxed out. and had a good time catching up with Amelie. okay, we shall catch up on our next date at Triple Three!
caught Ip Man 2 today and was really a nice action movie!
I did some mathematics sums yesterday, concluded I totally forgot about my A maths. but reminded me how much I enjoy cracking my brains and solving the sums. a part of me suddenly want to go back to books. I know how much this break will just make it worst. but anyway, I had fun solving those super easy MCQs, and already felt totally fun. I do miss my maths buddies in school, doing maths together! wah, those days.
next up, I look forward to dinner at La Strada next Friday!
I hope we're going to have Risotto! :D

number five.
big thank you for everyone who make it last night. I realized it always me, on how friends plan outing. its ALWAYS me! big hugs to all! I am only able to come by after 11pm when I end work. joined the rest at Emerald Hill, only Sean JX Kim Diane (and Sha for like 10mins) not my favourite hangout place but drinks are awesome at martinis 2 for $15 ;) and of course, AWESOME company! it totally felt like a hangout for new friends. honestly speaking right, I know them for merely a month, a little more than that maybe. but well, drinks always works wonders :D so it was a Red, a few Martinis, 2 beer and some de-boned wings, peanuts (wet & dry) PLUS LOTS OF FUN. absolute fun time had to end because of Kim needs to work + Sean having a long day today. I should be happy that they stayed til 3am in the morning! its absolute fun (&sweet)
got home and was damn tired, yet I couldn't sleep until day break. head was almost exploding. massive headache + flu. manage to get like 3 hours until alarm went off at 11am. head out to town again with Huko for FS. heavy downpour at the very time we had to leave. until now I am super tired and can fall asleep at 8pm kind. yes, I'm gonna eat some food, take the med, and off to bed.
sweet, if I'd known you earlier.

I'm sorry I flared
it simply boils down to zero confidence.
for you, me and everything.
the more I want to do it, the more I want to do something else.
I think I'm deprived of good food. HAHAHA.
I don't know how you can but you did. Sean texted me last night twice. first at 1.33am, second at 1.36am. I didn't reply the first thats why the second one came. and when I replied him, at also 1.36am, he fell asleep already. how amazing lah! so tired meh? so this morning when I already decided not meeting him, he texted again telling me he can be in town in twenty minutes. at then I was already prepared to leave late after having lunch. but anyhow I still met him in town (and he was still later than me!). camped at favourite Coffee Club for the gloomy afternoon for nice catch ups. cannot say catch ups actually because I know zero, he's new friend lah. so more like a get-to-know-you session. fun time, until I finally had to report to work at 4pm. nice of him to walk me all the way to back door! I mean staff entrance lah ;)
ohya did I not say we met JX! such coincidence!
I have so many things in mind I want to eat!
Dim Sum, Ramen, nice Steak, Risotto, any Mushroom thing, Cha Soba and the list goes on,
yipee! drinks tmr is on, No. 5 here I come! ;)

all in a day
Dinner at 190 was great! Scallops, Lamp Chops, Cod Fish, Risotto and Warm Chocolate Cake. Totally amazing food and great company - Mom, Dad and Sister. Warm chocolate cake was gorgeous man. I'm so glad that they loved the meal, from yours truly of cos! Happy Birthday Dad! Best daddy in the world :)
23rd Apr was the official last day for Ashraf at KH. Such a pity to have him leaving the team and the company. He's foremost the best person I have worked with on the island. He's always so confident, so sure, and so good with guests (and all the staff!) Everyone loves him and his style of working. Well I'm sure he know exactly what he wants and I do support his move to another property in Maldives. But of cos hoping he can come back to FS very soon. We always don't want to lose a gem righty? I even heard that the current GM promised to keep his position for the next 3 months, safety net lah! All the best Ashraf!! :D
Okay I am officially sleepy and going to bed.
Didn't sleep too much last night. Goodness.
Citigroup tomorrow, GOOD LUCK TO ME!
And last 3 days of PM shift, Socker is finally heading back to AM.
7am 7am 7am 7am 7am 7am
I hope drinks on Wed still on!

Yes they brought it back, FHA 2010 Overall Best Dream Team.
I was at work the day of results. Earlier at about lunch time, JX already texted me saying that they received the Gold. Well, easily I felt. But it was the overall results which was coming out in the evening that I was super nervous about. I literally couldn't concentrate at work. Heart was pounding so hard! Almost 120beats/min. Still no news at 6pm so I called Yong Sheng. But stil results not out! Awhile later while I was having dinner, finally Yong Sheng called and told me that they won the Overall Best Dream Team as well. I was OVER THE MOON! Super happy as if I am part of the team. Slowly the lecturers texted over the good news as well. I was super super elated! So happy lah, they totally did TP proud, especially TCA!
So 2 years later, the trophy, the medal, the fame and the glory came back to school, to us. Well done team, Sean, JunXiang, Shasha, YongSheng & KC. Selfish, but they totally did me proud. At least my time back to training during off days did not go down the drain ;)
How can I forgot to write about Sham's birthday! Organized by Sam, met up with some of our 5N friends last weekend and headed to The French Stall for a nice catch up dinner with them. There were Sam, Eveleen, Sham, Des, Sebast and myself. Really glad to meet them after so long! Food at French Stall was quite good.
After dinner Sham told me some touching stories about our times in Secondary School. Totally happy to know that I have made a difference in somebody else's life! Super sweet lah! ;)
Today's totally a lazy Sunday. I wish everyday is the same like this.
Tonight dinner at 190 for daddy's birthday! Yipee :D
and of course,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AHMADEY!

after a few more days
super lagging in blogging recently. can feel it for doing PM shift the entire month. totally no social life, (same for morning as well lah), and coming home late, don't even have time to blog and just get off to bed. because hotel has been running pretty full. unfortunately of the Iceland Volcanic Ash the guest couldn't fly! so they were pretty much stuck in here until a random major check outs at 8pm. so that was how we were running for the past few days, and that the other reason for sold-out nights is definitely FHA2010. so there were a bit of trouble turning over the rooms. but wasn't that bad though. manageable.
had an awesome birthday celebration for Yen last night with ASKY. pity I could not join them for Timbre earlier the evening. only had them coming to fetch me after work, a almost-forgotten surprise along the way to Marina Barrage, and lil bit of Marina Barrage until I was too tired to continue the night. anyway I hope you loved it Yen! and thanks to Kok & Adrian for planning and doing up all the gift and surprises!! :D
speaking about FHA 2010, oh I did spoke about it the previous post. so today, finally 22nd Apr. headed down to FHA with Krissy to watch The Dream Team competition, obviously to support the TP team. feels super different to be actually standing outside rooting for the team than hiding behind 2 years ago, not know what exactly happened outside at dining area! so, this year's theme - Boys, White, Clean. totally cool because the boys looked so good in that uniform! and I have to say the entire service was awesome. they did so much better than all the practise sessions, making me believe that they're actually good but trying to act as if they're not during trainings. they were so alert and calm! but of course I couldn't hear at all what they were saying to the judges and guests but everything looked good. I was pretty worried for JX initially but he totally turned me over. well and it has to come by the espuma that gave us the hiccup again. goodness, all jinxed lah! we so totally not gonna use that every again. but well, I thought JX did a good job when he was all calm and just tried to give a good cream. anyway coffee was good. and of cos, the mocktail, the appetizer, the main and dessert were as excellent. thinking about it, I'm so proud about the team even though we've no idea about the results yet. I really feel as if I am part of the team although me coming down to help them during trainings was to the minimal. I just tried, to give them all the knowledge I have and help them with everything I can. honestly I am also very nervous about tmr and super upset that I can't be there for results because I need to work. yes delayed results but the boys are so gonna call me, though they will be busy with taking pictures with the medals and all. whatever it is, extremely happy for the turnout of lunch service today and I am totally confident with the team, that will do TP proud, again.
it's TDT 2010,
it's 2 years later.
well, things have been going on but I really don't know to the better or to the worst. it is foremost the first time I am so unsure. totally clueless of the direction I'm heading, yet things that I've been doing seemed to giving me no way to turn back. I become clearly confused during quite nights and do get into emo stages but seems like not helping. there're indeed too many barriers in between and I foresee a not smooth journey. no confidence is the key, and this actually the first time I am not confident of myself. (I usually do you know!) all I could do now is really taking one step at a time, nothing more than that. nothing I can do more than that.
but I do clearly know at this point of time there's no turning back in some things. I can no longer remain friends with someone I used to like very very much as a friend, and someone I look up to very much, who always showers me with encouragements and giving me lots of advices. such a pity things turned out this way. I really do not know what is the next step to things with you but I know, it's not going to be the same again. not going to be...
what's next? please tell me so..
super lagging in blogging recently. can feel it for doing PM shift the entire month. totally no social life, (same for morning as well lah), and coming home late, don't even have time to blog and just get off to bed. because hotel has been running pretty full. unfortunately of the Iceland Volcanic Ash the guest couldn't fly! so they were pretty much stuck in here until a random major check outs at 8pm. so that was how we were running for the past few days, and that the other reason for sold-out nights is definitely FHA2010. so there were a bit of trouble turning over the rooms. but wasn't that bad though. manageable.
had an awesome birthday celebration for Yen last night with ASKY. pity I could not join them for Timbre earlier the evening. only had them coming to fetch me after work, a almost-forgotten surprise along the way to Marina Barrage, and lil bit of Marina Barrage until I was too tired to continue the night. anyway I hope you loved it Yen! and thanks to Kok & Adrian for planning and doing up all the gift and surprises!! :D
speaking about FHA 2010, oh I did spoke about it the previous post. so today, finally 22nd Apr. headed down to FHA with Krissy to watch The Dream Team competition, obviously to support the TP team. feels super different to be actually standing outside rooting for the team than hiding behind 2 years ago, not know what exactly happened outside at dining area! so, this year's theme - Boys, White, Clean. totally cool because the boys looked so good in that uniform! and I have to say the entire service was awesome. they did so much better than all the practise sessions, making me believe that they're actually good but trying to act as if they're not during trainings. they were so alert and calm! but of course I couldn't hear at all what they were saying to the judges and guests but everything looked good. I was pretty worried for JX initially but he totally turned me over. well and it has to come by the espuma that gave us the hiccup again. goodness, all jinxed lah! we so totally not gonna use that every again. but well, I thought JX did a good job when he was all calm and just tried to give a good cream. anyway coffee was good. and of cos, the mocktail, the appetizer, the main and dessert were as excellent. thinking about it, I'm so proud about the team even though we've no idea about the results yet.

2 weeks later
been so long, seems like I've missed out alot of things here.
to start, was on bbm with Sean and he totally depressed me on what he dropped on the cab just now. I really hope he gets to find it. to the nice SMRT cab uncle, please return Sean his knife set. he totally needs it to represent the country for competition in June. whoever else finds it, please return it to him. he's so depressed now that he can't sleep. its almost his life, and he is depressing me :(
well, I haven't blogged for very long. one of the days, I went back to TCA for TDT training, full lunch service. went back earlier than others, cannot reject my lecturer when she had to say "they need you." well, good to be back, in a total different position. ex-competitors, dining for the next team. sitting in for the debrief. but had to rush off and didn't finish the debrief. and how should I even know that Matt went back the day before us! ain't he niceeeee, to find time off his hectic schedule and drop by TP. owe this guy big time. he didn't even have time to meet me and he even manage to find time to go for training. such a sweet :)
caught Date Night the same night. been super long since I caught a movie! needed a comedy very much to lighten my life. too much to take at work probably. well, movie was okay, light hearted and not expecting any Oscar winning film. friday night, had to do drinks. first round was usuals at Harry's. and finally up to the 71st floor at New Asia Bar. totally cool and love the view. crowd was mostly foreigners, tourist lah. drinks were pretty standard. finally we were there. seems like back to Clarke Quay for any other Fridays.
another off day I headed back to TP. very happy when I saw the car at the car porch in the morning. so I drove to school again, its okay to give the cocktail a miss. mocktail was yummy max. stayed for the entire training while the lecturers were all attending some stuff. hope I was helpful and not being too playful with them. ;)
already realized that I won't have time to go down for any trainings until competition day. so I do hope they will do well then. I'm getting really nervous and excited. it's gonna be so different of me standing outside the blue box and watching them doing the lunch service. while I was hiding behind the wall 2 years ago, having no idea what was happening outside.
anyway yes, I signed up for FHA and only able to go for 1 day which is the 22nd. I hope I will have enough time outside the TDT to look at other things, esp the Hskp stuff. sounds really cool reading off the web. and when it mentioned for trade personnels only - cool ;)
2 nights ago was the most random supper EVER. all thanks to bb(m)! met Zach after 2 years. but it didn't felt like it was 2 years! 2 years leh!!! and the last time I met him was the first time I met him. then he was still a commis at LA. now leh! hahaha thanks to bbm we constantly chatted on, amazing isn't it. bbm la, I love bbm! :D
yes tmr off day tmr off day tmr off day.
ohya, I'm down for PM shift for another 2 weeks. starting to feel it, I miss everyone :(

life is a rollarcoaster
JUST GOTTA FIGHT IT!
eventually i have decided to be selfish. i do have the right to live for myself than living for others. now i feel better, i really do. to be able to do things at ease (sort of), and not be so bothered by whatever i should be. i am really trying very very hard not to commit into things yet because the road ahead is so blur, dont really want to give myself another possible round to be upset and hurt. lets keep it simple. well, at least try.
i am starting to realized that, there's nothing i know about you.
*thankyou Azmi for dropping me off at Clarke Quay on Friday, picking me up for work today, and dropping me off again back home after work. Azmi rocks TRIPLE!
*Rupak, when are you coming back! I miss you Nepalese friend! Hahaha. Friday nights at Clarke Quay without you feels different. I do need someone else to buy me beers ;)
lets start with last Wednesday. finally dinner with Amelie after a long time! she invited us to Mandarin Orchard and we had dinner at Chatterbox with some nice catch ups. happy to see her being all refreshed and happy with her work. good to also see other ex-colleagues there, makes me misses F&B so much! oh yea don't ask me why but i didnt eat their famous Chicken Rice and had Nasi Goreng, anyway it was as yummy! followed by a couple of drinks over at their bar and ended the night, pretty well.
Thursday night was dinner with the lecturers, the new team, Kim and Krissy. food was yummy at Chin Lee, this Teochew restaurant at Bedok. and of cos lots of wine!! did alot of catch ups and interacted well with the new team. especially happy to get another round of dinner with the lecturers! and this time niang niang came with us! super happy. looking forward to their training session soon.
how may i miss out Saturday night! what we always do, random supper session with nowhere in mind all the time, its just Boon, Kenny, Krissy and myself. Boon & Krissy picked me up from work at 11pm and drove to this ulu corner in Changi V. absolute cool place that only people like Kenny will know. one beer and some chat until closing, we headed to Loyang to baibai! coolest thing that night. baibai with friends, at 1am in the morning. thinking that the East wasn't too big, suggested to go Simpang for supper and we went, until really tired that we had to head home finally at 2.30am. great time with them (: it reminds me of all the good ol' times and the supper sessions which we just drive and head nowhere.
missing NCPB supper sessions!
for this weather, its better off in bed.

BALICIOUS!*
and finally, I'm gonna spend my next 2 hours typing about zeeeee trip plus, gonna also challenge myself to pick out 6 pictures out of 1,408 to post it up right here. one to represent a day. omg this is gonna take up 1.5 hours of the total time spent blogging. LOL.
to start, I would say, this short trip to Bali was amazing. although people ask me why am I going for 6 days! well, before departing I was actually thinking about that I shld just book for the 4d3n with FS JB, but now I would say, 6 days wasn't enough! so for 10months of hardwork in exchange of 3 nights comp stay at FS Jimbaran Bay, booked as early as January. thanks to the low occ, the nights were approved pretty quick! and we chop chop booked the air tix & othr resort. the entire trip was 2 nights at Mercure Kuta, the happening place which there're more tourists than locals and 3 nights at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay, more secluded hilly/beach resort. and thanks to my friends in Bali, and the driver-guide that my colleague introduced to me, Lyndel & I had a high time in Bali without planning much itinerary. it was like one-line itinerary each day, but we spent our time to the fullest!
day one we arrived at Bali and checked in to Mercure rightaway. the shops we met along the way made us dropped our bags and went straight to shopping! all the big names - Ripcurl, Roxy, Quiksilver, Volcom, Rusty, Mooks, Hard Rock, Starbucks, Crocs, Havaianas, Surfers' Girl, you name it! and of cos all the random shops which you BARGAIN. loserish, settled with KFC for dinner. cheap! - SGD3 for a mini meal. and how we ended our day.
day two despite being only 6.30am, the day was already bright and we woke up for our ripped off USD8 breakfast and a little walk to Kuta beach catching the early surfers - NONE. hit the 4th storey infinity pool for bit of tanning while Gunawan surprised us at our door. Eriec came about noon and picked us up for a drive! all the way up the North and first stopped by Indonesian Nasi Ayam for lunch. and followed by a VIP visit to Four Seasons Sayan. we even get to view the show villas and drinks at the Riverside Cafe! beautiful property smacked right in the middle of a valley overviewing a river. the view was spectaclar. leaving the property followed by a drive thru' to Ubud and the rice padi fields. finally back to Kuta which we stopped by Hard Rock Cafe for dinner, something touristy to do despite being a budget trip.
day three comes for us to check out at 9am in order to start another long day trip. of cos we did some final pool dipping first. after leaving the resort, headed North again, we soon find ourselves at a tourist place - Batik factory! we were there for like 10minutes? and took 4 photos! for the sake of taking. thought it was a place that the driver-guide would "force" us to buy something for his commission. but totally not! he said, "just go in and see, don't buy anything." he's a funny man k. for the next attraction we're at the Monkey Forest/Holy Spring Temple. you see monkeys, many monkeys, and a mini rainforest and temple. Lyndel even had one hooking up on her ;) further down, it was Ubud market with shopping! fave part of the itinerary always but i ended up with one bag and almost getting lost inside the maze. and for lunch, over rated Babi Guling but still pretty good - we were not too hungry i think. on the journey we came to Tanahlot, the temple which we spent 15minutes taking pictures inside and twice the time shopping at the market outside. at least we rmb that the view is gorgeous. finally we arrived at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay in the evening. zamn, the villa is amazing with a private plunge pool, separate bedroom and dining tent and a bathroom bigger than my bedroom at home. dinner! the boys, balinese interns Gunawan, Gede and Putu rode the bike 1 and half hours away right to FSJB and brought us for dinner, on their bike! happening because no helmet! okay we're still alive. only little time spent w them tho.
day four! intensive tanning session. started by the pool and back to our own villa's sun deck. got changed and went for a long long walk down Jimbaran beach and back to the resort. almost died our heat outside. finally back to our villa which we just slept. totally loved the do-nothing-day. dinner at highly recommended Jimbaran Seafood place, that you can actually bargain the price! yummy food, great sunset & cute waiter. perfecto.
day five finds ourselves the WATERSPORTS day! finally* - Lyndel thinks. went to Recreation in the morning and grabbed hold of a giant surfboard and body board. the staff are nothing compared to my friends in KH! sadly. so we were just paddling up and down with the pathetic waves. headed back and welcomed with Chocolate amenities sent by Eriec! sweet* again, Eriec took his time off and picked us up at the resort and off we went for another round of local food for lunch - Ayam Penyet and Nasi Ayam Goreng. drove to Sanur, picked his daughter (Jojo) up and we headed for kayaking at the beach! told ya, watersports day. dinner we found ourselves back to Kuta, for intended shopping and dinner, and breakfast for the next day. also the easy spot to grab a cab back to the resort. metered cab starts at RUP5,000 = SGD0.77.
day six probably the longest and hottest day. hearty breakfast and off we went for another beach day. first was Padang Padang, probably the best beach we find in Bali. with Maldives-like water and white sand. small beach and not so crowded, we even need to go thru this cave thing to find the beach! next up was a drive up to Uluwatu, a cliff top temple with AMAZING view. not the best time to visit at noon but still, the view was OMG. we reached this point which is totally perfect for - SUICIDE! jump sure die! enough of walking, arrived at the Satay place for lunch. they simply win the best display of food for the entire trip. finally the long-ed for, which we googled the night before, Dreamland! not Disneyland or Universal Studios, non of the theme park but its a beach. by right so pretty that its called Dreamland. pretty crowded, invaded by Asians. gigantic waves which i think i will die inside and also where Lyndel spent her last RUP50,000 on a surfin lesson. she didnt mean to bargain it from RUP200,000. that was her last note left. so so so, back to the resort late afternoon and preparing to check out. mega love for the lco accorded that we can spend the last few moments in the room adoring every corner. finally a quick and comfy flight back home.
and lastly, the best bits of Bali,
Day 1 - the flight I love but she hates. Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar.
Day 2 - Jati Bar, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, Sayan.
Day 3 - Scared Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Ubud.
Day 4 - Nyoman Cafe, Jimbaran Bay Seafood, Jimbaran.
Day 5 - Jimbaran Beach, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, Jimbaran.
Day 6 - Uluwatu Temple, Uluwatu.
thank you Lyndel for the wonderful fun of 6 days!
thank you Eriec, Gunawan, Gede, Putu & Mustika!
thank you Four Seasons!
I will surely be back again, Bali!

YEEEEEE HA!
I was .this tiny bit away from leaving to Seychelles TOMORROW! remember the dream I had? that I was asked to go Maldives the next day and forbidden for my Bali vacation. it happened! yesterday I overheard the DOR telling my boss and the boss just came out the word Seychelles, i slide over and rise my hand. leaving when I asked, and its tomorrow, for a good 7 to 10 days! goodness, while my vacation starts on Sunday! if not for my Bali, I would so totally go for it.
WHAT AN EXTREME PITY! let's wait for the next chance. KH, please ask for something. I wanna go!
so for an off day today, I started browsing thru the web on Kuta stuff and getting all excited again! although only a short one week trip, I haven't pack in a single thing into my luggage! haven't get my travel insurance done, nor changed enough money. and I have not done any bit today at all. hopefully and I have to get things done in the next 3 days of AM shift. goodness gracious, back to AM, I'm so having a hard time waking up at 5am in the morning. great to have my vacation smacked in the middle of my AM shift schedule. HAHAHA. can't wait for Bali, hohoho, FIVE DAYS!
and its Qatar baby! ~~
and I also went back to school today, my first surprise visit for TDT's training. it feels so different on having a boys team! but still good, if its gonna be female judges, they'll rock 'em. HAHA. didn't managed see any complete lunch service but still good, esp the bar part. ;) and thats about it, also fun that i finally hit the roads alone today. still in one piece, so do the car.
goodnight world,
goodnight Sam.
I was .this tiny bit away from leaving to Seychelles TOMORROW! remember the dream I had? that I was asked to go Maldives the next day and forbidden for my Bali vacation. it happened! yesterday I overheard the DOR telling my boss and the boss just came out the word Seychelles, i slide over and rise my hand. leaving when I asked, and its tomorrow, for a good 7 to 10 days! goodness, while my vacation starts on Sunday! if not for my Bali, I would so totally go for it.
WHAT AN EXTREME PITY! let's wait for the next chance. KH, please ask for something. I wanna go!
so for an off day today, I started browsing thru the web on Kuta stuff and getting all excited again! although only a short one week trip, I haven't pack in a single thing into my luggage! haven't get my travel insurance done, nor changed enough money. and I have not done any bit today at all. hopefully and I have to get things done in the next 3 days of AM shift. goodness gracious, back to AM, I'm so having a hard time waking up at 5am in the morning. great to have my vacation smacked in the middle of my AM shift schedule. HAHAHA. can't wait for Bali, hohoho, FIVE DAYS!
