Korea & Me Part 2
Feb. 9th, 2010 | 01:57 am

Love receiving new dresses and these two came handy for dinners and the weekend nights. Love the material and definitely very affordable too. :)

Finally, my room was in a total rescue and had a thorough renovation this morning. I woke up real early but found myself dozing off at the sofa in the living room before heading out. I believe I was really tired due to clearing and moving everything out for the renovation because I didn't know the workers and all were already in action in the midst of my sleep. Imagine those drilling and the wooden planks piak piak. I was completely shut off then.
It was kinda an awkward moment and fortunately I wasn't lying in the worst position sleeping and I headed out in the quickest time so that I'll not be late for school. So here're two pictures of the BEFORE, from full to clear.

Full but in the midst of packing.

hee, cleared!
I shall not post any picture of the aftermath as its half done, but i would prefer to show it when its officially done up. Gonna paint the room walls red, the wardrobe is near black though. Any suggestions what colour to go with black? Am afraid the red will darken the whole room. hmmm.
Have a test tomorrow yet I have not prepared anything for it though its opened book. My emails are waiting for me and sorry for delaying the replies (if i haven replied you), but i'll do it once these crazy assignments and presentation this week are over ya! :)

Andy & Shawn.
We decided to check out the surroundings near our hotel, and I love love love this area! Unfortunately we were really early to start shopping so here are some peaks into the area.

Preparing to head out.

Korea & Me Part 1
Feb. 6th, 2010 | 02:45 am
I can spare a bit more time to write today. A lil more thoughts.
Still feeling pretty awed with this country I had visited a couple of weeks ago, here am I, feeling a tad nostalgic about the days in Korea. Short, but absolutely sweet. Meeting those people made it an additional gift for an undoubted wonderful experience. From strangers to acquaintances, and acquaintances to friends.
Sometimes, I am really thankful for the advancement of technology, and yes, harvard for discovering entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg for facebook. It's truly an amazement how global facebook has grown, though the new friends from korea and myself met during the short span of 3 days, but we have been keeping in touch every now and then with a lil comment, or a simple tag in a picture, or even, just a "like" click to say "hey, I'm here!". Awesome. I would also take that as an incentive to keep in touch with friends, (and because I want to, too) to get close to them in a way more than how we could two years back then. Just to sum it all, I love you, frienzies. :)
I wish I could sit down and write more, than the usual day to day descriptive sentences, but unfortunately work & time do not permit me to. The finance major is truly intriguing but intensive at the same time. HSS memorial library has become our second home, one which we stay from shine to dark, only to head back to the cosy hut to do a lil more before calling it a day. It has kinda becoming a love/hate relationship with this major.
With the remaining time I have, the other part of the work is evidently my passion. Beyond words, but I have to admit, I do love what I am doing. I love replying the emails, I love meeting new people, I love trying out new stuff & sharing them, I love seeing & feeling the new clothes, I love taking beautiful pictures and edit them, and most of all, I love writing here. With all that I have, I'll definitely keep this going on as long as I can, and as constantly as I can. But yeah, school is certainly my first priority right now, and all these are second (but very near to the first, I would say). So do pardon me for the delays but I'll give my best. :)
And just by typing the above paragraphs cause more killed braincells, not that I spent a long while thinking what to say, but because the whole week was a mad rush and I haven gotten a good rest, we barely have time to get more than 5 hours of sleep. Just as how I love Fridays & the weekends, today a friday was spent in school having a project meeting till late. ugh.
Anyways, I'm here to share more about the Korea trip. Didn't have ample time to travel around sufficiently, but just with the few days there, there are a couple of places you should totally check it out if you are going there!
At the Airport:

Checking before it goes shut

Themed with Love
Feb. 2nd, 2010 | 01:55 am
And the theme was....
THE PYJAMAS PARTY!! I think everyone should organise some event with this theme at least once!
The venue was at her aunt's place and it is a cosy place with vintage English settings but decorated into a childhood playground area. House parties are always my favourite and Caleen's party is no exception. It was a nice feeling to see how close her cousins are with her (totally like besties), and how well they planned the games for her big day, this reminds me that I should plan a meeting with my beloved cousins soon too! Her dog, pupu is just as adorable as he is since the last time I saw him, and how i wished I have a dog too, but I know very well I will not have time to give my love for it so yeah, maybe next time....

Love the idea of this board at the entrance. ;)

Look at Pupu, awwwww.

Caleen & her lovely helium hearts balloons.

Family :)
And i was supe

A CUPCAKE CAKE!
It was baked by Leney's sister, whom is so good at baking and wow, inside was chocolate sponge cake with mint flavour and woohoo, TOTALLY AWESOME!

poots and I in pyjamas!!
hahaaha poots acting as a "mistress", the boyfriend TEE. Mischievous ah... :p

Again, totally awesome cake!!!

Pupu <3

hahahahaha check out our soft toys. Props by Caleen!

And leney was definitely back into Childhood with her ponytails :p





Shawnie in the house yo!

PILLOW FIGHT! muahahaha, so old already still fight huh...

Her dearest boyfriend, Joseph :)

pupupupupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <3

Pupu as a Bumblebee. Cuteeeeeeeeee.

Today someone just mentioned its the 4th week into school (wow, time flies, it has been a month!), and we have already started on 4 or more projects and even submitted one last week. Brrrrrrr, with the majoring into Finance and considering its kinda the last year (year 3) in NUS, work is getting pretty intensive and workload is getting heavier too. Hope I can manage, nono not hope. Must say, I CANNNNNNN! :p
The BC Bun post is on the way, and I love tying it because no matter how bad a hair day I have, I just tie the hair up into the bun and it looks so much neater and at least, it hides the bad hair day!





Received dresses from Pearlavish, great for both parties and formal occasions.
Love the simplicity of the designs yet looking dressed up at the same time. :)
Oh yes, can I check with you guys if my pictures are pixelated in terms of you viewing? Because I use Mozilla Firefox and the pictures are looking fine though I resized them to my preferred dimensions (photobucket didnt have my preferred dimensions). But when I use Internet Explorer to view, the pictures are kinda pixelated and recently a couple of people told me that my pictures are all along pixelated when viewing from their computer. :( Please let me know or advice me!

The Gift.
Jan. 29th, 2010 | 04:42 pm
Yay, and it is!!!
I CUSTOMIZED ORGANISERS FOR THEM!!!
Alright, nonono, not that I made them from scratch, because it's obvious that I don't have the materials and equipments. But fortunately I have a friend who has his own printing company and he specializes in all sorts of printing services. The only thing I can do, or rather have to and enjoy doing is designing the cover page for each of my girlfriends!
And I'm glad to say, Im proud of my works! Very heartwarming and happy that they love it too. Teeheehee :p
Showing you the process.

My Friend, Keng How and his office.

My design for Trish Poots in the photoshop file.
I designed different designs for them, and though I wanted to keep it simple without much pictures, but it would seem too normal. So I guess the only way to make it stands out more or rather, to show the apparent of the customization, I included their pictures and names.
It's certainly a fun thing to do, from choosing the type/colour of the papers, the material & texture, the size of the book etc. But because I wasn't doing in bulk and instead, customizing each and every of them. Hence, the work must be manually done up with a rather tedious & long process (thanks to keng how!!).

Poots cover page printed out!

Haslinda's coverpage in the first picture,
and the diary papers that were printed out piece by piece, with Keng How manually cut them and tie the strings to secure the book by book.
woah, coolbeans.

The glue to attach the cover page to the organiser.

Haslinda's cover page attached to the organiser,
but not yet cut down to the stipulated measurements.

Man in work & the HUGE machine to cut all the organisers to the right measurements at one go.
And after 6 whole hours, WE ARE FINALLY DONE!!!!
I felt guilty because I didn't do much except for designing the cover page, (but I really have no idea how to work the machines! lol), and really thanks to Keng How for making my ideas work and putting much effort in doing up these beautiful organisers for us!!
Oh yes, I made one for myself too!



Let me show you some of the marvellous works!!!

Poots's organiser designed by using her picture!! Can you spot her picture and her name?

Here's leney's! She loves Flora and red colour as you can see.
And here are the rest...

Both Val and Haslinda pictures weren't as clear as the rest as they camouflage into the background quite a bit,
but can you spot their pictures?
I didn't have time to do all pictures for each, so zihui, yalin and my organisers were done up with more simpler designs.
Check out mine!!

Just to tell ya, this picture does not do justice to the colour. hahaha
I love the actual shade of dusty pink, and hey, I put those little umbrellas, clouds and birds one by one okay!!
YAY!!! DONE AND PACKED!
hee I am still loving this gift and it's super handy for me, it is of the size that is easy to keep and flip so yes! Good for school and work. Keng How also does a lot of other printing services, and now I know where to do all my marketing materials if i need them next time, hehehehe. if you are interested in doing up this gift for your friends or so, or the prices of what, you can look for him as I'm not very sure of the packages and details.
The company's name is digiplex,
and you can contact him via his email:

Chinese New Year is coming and yay!!! I decided to go all out traditional with qipaos and I have gotten ready the qipaos for the whole 3 days for CNY. Yes, its all BC's qipaos but I love them all anyways so I don't mind wearing three different qipaos for the consecutive days. hee.
On a side note, mom spring cleaned the house and put up all the flowers and decorations for this festive season. We are all in cny spirits totally, but but but, its gonna be a zzzz thing also as I have a lot of assignments and a couple of finance tests happening after the cny week, and guess what? The cny week is our study week man................... :(
And out of topic, im kinda into Purple and red colour lately.....





Love wearing new clothes! :D
And yes! I know some girls have been enquiring on how to tie the bun I always tie during BC's Shoot, I'll call it THE BC BUN then, hehehe, but as it's kinda hard to explain in words, I'll probably do a video or pictorial entry on it. Think it would be the perfect hairstyle to tie when wearing Qipaos yeah? Will share it with you within the next few entries!! :)

Kota Kinabalu Traveloge 1
Jan. 25th, 2010 | 01:06 am

So I was really glad to receive a complimentary trip to any particular destination in Malaysia sitting Malaysia Airline (MAS),
and decided on Kota Kinabalu!
I know I know, for the past few weeks whenever I mentioned Kota Kinabalu (ok, short form, KK), I get the same question and reaction.
"Wah, you gonna climb the mountain?!" Hmm, it sounds either like,
1) they think that there's nothing else to do in KK except to climb the Mount Kinabalu
2) they think that the only attraction in KK is Mount Kinabalu, again.
3) they think that nobody would go KK except to climb Mount Kinabalu.
4) Mount Kinabalu, Mount Kinabalu, Mount Kinabalu. Where's Kota Kinabalu? In the mountain?
5) THEY ARE DOUBTFUL THAT I CAN CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN AND COMPLETE THE WHOLE TREK!!!!
So yes, Mount Kinabalu is the famous mountain that is a challenge to many to complete the whole trek. My parents went last year and attained the certificate, very satisfied that they completed, reached the peak and saw the sunrise, but came back with a whole body aching like mad syndrome for almost a week! I will climb that mountain and am gonna complete it and get the certificate, one day, one day. The trip to KK two weeks back was of pure relaxation and woohoo, I didn't know KK has such beautiful beaches!!!!!
Anyway, my flight was scheduled in the morning.

I love the corset, high waisted shorts, and short boots I got!



Checked in and got my Air Tickets.
I've to transit at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to KK. But no worries, you can get a direct flight to KK too.

Oh yes, Selene was invited to join in the trip with me! :)

Trust me, she was really excited...... :p



Various newspaper available in different languages. No i wasn't going to take the Malayu langauge one, I was just looking!

The uniform of the stewardess is kinda pretty....


The colourful seats.
Unlike the usual airplane with monotone colours, the colourful seats made the atmosphere more lively and most importantly, cosy. Each seat was already equipped with a blanket sealed in a plastic bag and a headset to tide you comfortably through the flight!


My new Caucasian Friend. :)
Ok, he was literally asleep throughout the whole journey.

<3


Reached KL International Airport.

Big aiport with pretty clean surroundings!

Oooooo, look at these seats. And it looks so cute with everyone sort of lying down there.

I got spotted by the two guys. the First two guys from the left. They should be sleeeping, brrrrrr.

Selene

Water coolers in airport is a MUST! since we can't bring liquid into the plane.
Shopping during transit.

spot Selene.


Love chocolates!!!

She can really eat...
We were extremely hungry but we wanna leave some stomach space for food served on the next flight...



Hmmm, okay, all friends should totally try this together one day. its good!!

told you. it looks so yummy here already.

And off we go for the next flight. KK, we are coming!!!

Finally, our food.

Curry Fish with Rice. Not bad, but kinda dry though. Would have been better if they added some curry on the rice too.

Nasi Briyani. But this was COMPLETELY DELICIOUS. Very tasty with the perfect degree of spice and served pipping hot!

Each set came with three ferrero rocher, WOW! love it!!!!!!
Experience for the whole flight was a good and pleasant one, and I guess I would rate that because, I was soundly asleep throughout the whole flight!!!! hehehehehe.
And upon looking outta the window,

no not yet........

We saw KK!!!!



Now I know I can take pictures like those in the geography textbooks too. hohoho, copyright ah.

See? She is really so excited!!
It was my first time at KK, and surprisingly, the attractions that we went and explored are definitely places I would go again if I need a short getaway. It is similar to Phuket and you can do the same activities, see the same "kind" of people (like foreigner tourists etc), except that
- You get to taste the authentic delicious local delights at very cheap prices
- You get to eat HUGE and FRESH seafood at cheaper price
- You can to enjoy sea activities at CLEARER seawater
- You expenses are MUCH LESSER for the same range of acitivites as compared to Phuket/ Batam
- You live, relax, eat and enjoy like a King/Queen!!!!
Its even better than Phuket!!! Just that I think Phuket is more commercialized and has really good marketing for its location.
But KK is absolutely comparable or might be even better.
Will be back for more on what you can do in KK and approximately how much you will be spending there! Its definitely one destination I would recommend ya for a getaway!!!

Have you seen this before...
Jan. 21st, 2010 | 11:57 pm
I was totally shocked.
I took this in Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia) when I was there 2 weeks ago.

I thought it was a huge rock beneath the sea.

and then the shape changed.

A HUGE SCHOOL OF FISH!!!!
I feel ewlewewl....ticklish. DON'T YOU?!
But kinda interesting to see so many fishes for the first time, I was still telling Selene If I throw someone into the middle of the school of fishes, the fishes can totally finish all his meat.
sooooooooooo many fishes can!!!

Korea Love
Jan. 16th, 2010 | 12:38 am

Ah neo!
Here I am in Korea for the first day.
We each has an individual room at different levels and i'm currently sipping on to some hot tea to keep warm. Im gonna rest soon and guess what? We just visited the night club with the group and wow, the "vip/members" room was HUGE.
Weather today was -6 degrees in the morning and I think at night might be at -15 degrees because i was literally freezing on the way to dinner! We were split into teams from different countries, and each team had a good mix of people, in particularly bloggers and they are indeed friendly people that made the day an enjoyable one.
Here are a few piccas to update on korea! I am beginning to love this country and the place we are staying is awesome, streets and streets of makeup and fashion, love it to the max!!!!!!!

I love my nails!
Jan. 14th, 2010 | 04:18 am

Yay I have new gorgeous nails!!!!
I went to visit Jenny again for the second time and weee, I love the nails this time round once again. I love RED recently, and have a thing for red nails all along. Maybe because it looks so pretty on those SQ stewardess and I think red makes the skintone looks fairer at the same time, don't you think so?
But anyway, it ain't just pure red, its with the awesome combination of red and black with 4D designs! I requested Jenny to make the acrylic extensions slightly shorter than the previous so that its easy to function around, and true enough, i feel really comfortable with my current nail length and just as I said before, it does make the fingers look sleek and polished. ;)

The manicure sessions started off with my blunt and horrible fingernails
If you guys saw the previous entry before, of if you haven you can read it HERE and find out about the process of acrylic extension, and in just a few hours, from a blunt nail to long and nicely shaped nails. I chose a red base this time in preparation for CNY (well, ok, i just love red nails), and actually I think the nails already look very gorgeous with the extensions and just the passionate red base huh?


I laid my eyes on this particular black french manicure design in the nail art book and thought it looks pretty unique and interesting at the same time. And red and black together..... is just totally classic combi. Jenny is amazing because she modified the designs with her absolute proficiency skillsto make sure it looks even better than what you see in the book. coolbeans.


I actually like it this way as well! I think it looks interesting than the usual pink/white french manicure.
But of course, the designs will lead the nails to its extreme beauty one can ask for...
The silver and light gold stripes certainly spice up the overall image and you have to see this, I love the vintage metal flower that is attached to the nail. Awesome!



And crystals too. It will never go wrong and here I am, with these bling bling nails. Not too many, but enough to shine out the beauty. :)



And last but not least, the COMPLETE LOOK!!!




see the difference in the overall presentation!

Ain't the nails gorgeous?
I really have to thank Jenny for all the effort she put in for designing these nails, and for doing such a wonderful job. For the past few days, I actually received compliments in regards to the nails from random strangers like the post office lady, the massage parlour lady too. teeheehee. Jenny's customer service is one of the best as well, and we always seem to have endless topics to talk about while doing the nails. Thank you Jenny! :)


Jenny also stocked up a lot more accessories, materials and colours for nails. so for new customers or the existing ones too, you're in for a treat!
This time I brought Yalin along to enjoy her first manicure session! hehe Never in her life did she do one before and she has the same short nails as mine since young. I had to leave earlier so didn't manage to capture the process of her doing, but I met her after her manicure, check her out oriental chic navy blue nails! Absolute beautiful.







I myself did a 4D one, which means the designs are pop up with ready-made things attached on top. But Yalin's were 3D, which were done up by acrylic and look at how fascinating the gradient of the acrylic colours of the pretty flowers are.





I think its a great time now to get yourself a pampering session for your nails, especially when its near to Chinese New Year. Like they say, you will feel the difference, and nails definitely play a part in the overall grooming and appearance. For those who didn't try manicure or those who did, but didn't really try nail art, hehe you should really try it for once! And CNY totally gives you one reason why you should. :)
Jenny has a couple of promotions ongoing now at her side, and you can check out more information at her website.
Website: http://twinklenailz.blogspot.com/
Contact number: SMS/Col Jenny @ 90259696
Be sure you book an appointment in advance to avoid disappointment! I am sure you will love your nails as much as I do after the pampering session at Jenny's. ;)

Marks the new year
Jan. 12th, 2010 | 02:40 pm

Yeah! I am back from Kota Kinabalu (KK) on Sunday late afternoon and apparently, after I unpacked my stuff, I slept all the way from evening till morning 8am! That was no doubt my longest sleeping duration ever. But fortunately, I woke up just in time to prepare for the first day back to school and wee, it was great to see all the school friends once again!
Am glad that I'm in the same class with eileen, zihui & nang for most, great company makes studying easier. ;) and boy, our very expensive financial markets module definitely started off with a very comprehensive seminar for the first week, I'm gonna miss two financial seminars on thursday and I foresee I'll be missing out a lot. :( But oh well, just this week just this week because....
13th Jan 2225hrs Depart Singapore
IM GOING TO KOREA TOMORROW!!!
Im extremely elated for this trip to Seoul with the LG Team and 2 other bloggers!!
I am honoured to be one of the chosen three to go on this trip and we will be blogging about it more after we are back! It's an all-expense borne trip by LG and I am appreciating the fact very much that I get a chance to be on this trip together with Andy and Shawn (the two other bloggers) and the LG in-charge, Wayne. Not only the fun relaxation, but we will be attending this meeting with bloggers from all over the world, in fact, from 6 other countries: France, Australia, Sweden, Netherland, Russia & Canada. We will be the only Asian country as briefed and woohoo, gonna be an exciting one, its gonna be an experience! *jumping around*

Thank you so much to LG and am really lucky to be able to go korea! :D
Kimchi, bibipam, rice cake, BB cream, facial masks, here I come!!
*
I received the pictures taken on New year eve! I've to say the company totally rocks and we didn't care much about the surrounding people and had fun with just the whole group. Though I enjoy house parties very much instead but the time and cost of getting the food will be a lot more, but once in a while clubbing parties are fun too!






This was the worst day to get a cab on the streets, everyone was out partying and we went for "supper" at 6am and it was packed! The streets were filled with people waiting for cabs and we even had a difficult time to call for cab. Actually, I think that clubbing really does consume a lot of your energy and its kinda tedious. I felt so drained out after that and boy, I am thinking that if I go to club frequently, I sure age super fast and get weaker after every time. hahahah
well, time to get back to the serious school and work mode already!!
*
weeeee and I love brunch/lunch sessions! Love enjoying the surrounding, the bright day light and afternoon tea at a cosy place. Coffee club caesar salad is absolutely delicious but comes in a pretty small portion. :( But the garlic chicken is soooo tasy and tender. Not to forget, the muddy mud pie is totally thumbs up!!

Lunching datey applepie.



Love this mustard colour bag. The colour is one of my favourites and the design too. Can fill in a lot of things, even my dslr, make up pouch etc etc.





Caesar salad with garlic Chicken

Mushroom Soup



Love my colourful scarfffffff!

End of my favourite season
Jan. 7th, 2010 | 03:24 am
Its gonna be the end of the holidays and how I wish I could have a longer break. :(
Been wanting to reverse back my body clock, and sleep at the known to be the miracle 11pm to 2am hours, but either I've work to do or I just toss and turn around the bed, and have to resort to plucking in my ear piece to listen to music from my ipod like lullaby.
Anyway, this holis has been a rather eventful one and I enjoyed it tremendously. I got to spend so much quality time with my loved ones, and everytime when school starts, we totally have no time for meet ups. Am really appreciative of this period to do ample catch up with them and at the same time, having fun altogether.
Some random updates on the go!


Met up with my Uni friends at this place called Rong Guang BBQ seafood @ Ulu Pandan Road.
Food was pretty good and price was reasonable for a big group like us.

Taken at my friend's house visit.


And shopping time! Love bubble tea. :)
I am going to bed now, gonna do my nails tomorrow with Yalin and get prepared for kota kinabalu! :)

Phuket Series 3
Jan. 6th, 2010 | 03:35 am
I believe it's the busy period for NUS students currently as its the bidding season. Bidded for modules a few days back, and have decided to major in Finance. Threw exactly all my points into the bidding system, (phew, definitely a tense period) and fortunately, I got all the modules that I wanted (Major Phew) and I've to thank the nus frenzies for helping me a hand in the bidding process. Thank goodness for these friends that make me look forward to school.
And so, IM GOING TO KOTA KINABALU THIS FRIDAY!!
I'm excited about it and its a different experience because It will be my first visit there, and most of all, the special thing about this trip is that its sponsored by Malaysia Airlines. Isn't that awesome? And I get to bring a friend! Wanted to get more people but due to the lack of time, its hard to coordinate the schedules of all of us, hence, only leney will be joining me for the trip. Hope we will have much fun exploring out this new destination. Think many of you might hear of Mount Kinabalu, the famous mountain that takes 2 full days to climb and you will be rewarded with a completion certificate upon the end, but well, the trip is rather short so probably mountain climbing next time, shall relax ourselves there for the weekends! :)
Heard so much about this destination and will definitely share with you more about it when im back!
*
In the meanwhile, here's the continuation of my pooo-kateee trip! The end of our third day. :)

This was taken by the photographer there so as to sell us this nicely frame up copy after the trip to the other island. Apparently, we all look rather decent and happy in this picture that we just bought it instantly with 100 bhat! (sgd 4.50)
As mentioned earlier in the previous entry, we were waiting for the boat to take us to another Island- CORAL ISLAND. We got ourselves a half day tour at 650 bhat (sgd 27) each to the island and in the end, we bumped into a friend all the way at Phuket and he actually got a full day tour to two islands at 750 bhat (sgd 31) only! Definitely more worth it than ours. Next time if you visit there, book early and get the full day tour instead!

Leney Zhang getting all excited for snorkeling.
Here's Coral Island for you.





Coral Island is a tad small, limited and boring. I think its more wise to go two islands, and leney was saying Phi Phi Island would be better in terms of water activities and everything. Coral Island was supposedly named after the countless beautiful corals in the sea, but during the time we were there, there was not much corals (said to be destroyed due to tsunami) and gosh, the sand/ground in the seawater was extremely hard to walk with its super uneven and pokey surface. ooouuchh!


But the overall view looks pretty relaxing though..








Shawnie bought a cheap disposable pair at Phuket specially for the sea activities but hahaha, he spent like half hour or more wearing it. Back at the hotel, he took the same duration to take it out but to no avail, leney had to help him to remove them in the end.


Hello machos.

Leney and I :)



Off we go for snorkeling!





Tea Break Snacks were provided.
We had about an hour to chill and rest and the only activity we can do was to tan. There were other activities like banana boat but was at a ridiculous touristy price, oh well, expected.




I love these group shots that we took. Able to see the mountains, sea and us clearly. Teeheehee.







Oh yes, remember that I mentioned the tuk tuk uncle cheated us of our money? We didn't know that we were supposed to take the bus back, and after he dropped us at the pier, he kept reminding us that he will be waiting for us to be back. We didn't think twice about as we thought it was part of the package and that he sent us there and back, but he demanded another 400 bhat upon sending us back. Grrrrrr, means a total of 800 bhat (sgd 34) for two trips, which was not worth it in phuket as we had our own driver for the whole day already. Boohoo.

Okay la, give in to him with the fact that he waited for us for hours and helped us to take a group shot. Plus the music he played was pretty good and up to date. :p






Share a meal at Mcdonalds. yessssssssssss, you have to have to try the SAMURAI PORK BURGER at their macs there!
I eat it everytime I go thailand! Love the tenderness of the meat and the seasoning!

And this is the next best street food you can find in Phuket.





Super yummy, I can eat 10 of this at one go man.
Took quite a while to do up these pictures, and I'll post the last day soon too. Gotta rest now and wake up earlier to do work and am meeting leney for a buffet lunch @ pan pac! hehehe, goodnight world. :)

The last day of 2009
Dec. 30th, 2009 | 07:13 pm
Tomorrow is the last day of 2009, but don't know why, i don't have the slightest feeling that the next year is coming, it seems like it's still in the mid of 2009 and it makes no difference in any other way, or even any feeling to set new resolutions for the upcoming year. hmmm, perhaps everyday just passes by so quickly that it feels the same...
In anycase, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Hope you will have a great last day and have fun counting down. My friends and I wanted to head down to the gatecrasher party @ Marina Barrage, but after consideration of the troublesome transportation in and out, we decided to head down to Butter Factory for a countdown! hahahha, haven tried counting down in a club before, so why not yeah? Try something for the first time. ;p
*
Anyways, Im back to Phuket days. Better revive the memory fast by blogging!
The 3rd day, which is also the last second day of our phuket trip. We rised early and went for a hearty breakfast at the very own Marriott Restaurant. It faces the pool and is in the middle of the resort, pretty cosy but unfortunately, the standard of the food wasn't very good, the dishes were cold and hard and the best dishes we had were the porridge, the soup and cornflakes. :(

At the "bali feel" restaurant. love the wooden settings.

Leney & I in the early morning

shawnie stoning, and he love the low fat milk

Hungry guys!


the group picture


settings of the place

Cococrunch, leney and my favourite. Muffins that were hard and cold :(
We got all up prepared for a day at BEACH! We planned to travel to another island for snorkeling and sneaky us got thick and huge purple towels from the hotel to bring there. Geez.


Got my favourite driver, Tik, to send us to our destination. The whole van with only 4 of us.


We reached the destination which is none other than Patong Beach Area, and we were frantically finding a half day tour to the another beachy island. Fortunately, we found one that is cheaper but unfortunately, we had to pay extra to get to the pier to catch the boat. Additional 400 baht (sgd $18) to get to the pier.

wooo spot the hunk behind hahahah



Streets of Patong Phuket


Higher class tuktuk that plays the latest R&B Music!!!


In the TukTuk. Pretty nice and comfy to sit in there.






Enjoying the breezeeeeeee!

Impressive that we still can take group shots with self timer with the Tuktuk moving at great speed! :p




Myself with a picture & a lil note done by Zihui before I left for Phuket!





Streets of Phuket.

The pier, the place to set off to phiphi island and other great islands!

Dec. 29th, 2009 | 04:39 am
This is the last video and the final post about the upcoming new LG phone GW620, LG's first Andriod phone. Many thanks to my beloved for playing a part in the videos and each of us have a part inside. hee. Its a summary of everything and yeap, watch it and you will know. :) I had great fun exploring this phone, and it has became a part of my daily needs already, checking it everywhere I go. Even for entertainment value, I had much fun playing with the applications whenever I'm idle.
Do check it out in stores after its release very very soon. Hope you guys had a great Christmas and a great brand new 2010! :D

PICTURE LOG: LG GW620
Dec. 27th, 2009 | 11:27 am
The previous entry on LG's first andriod phone was about the summary of all the important functions. But there is more to it!
This post is focusing primarily on the Applications segment of the LG GW620. I can say I am truly amazed by some of the applications and boy, it's fun to explore them! The applications are definitely a very important part in enhancing the usefulness and entertainment value of the phone. No wonder my friends kept commenting that I'm always playing with my phone. Geez.
So the best part of this phone is the ANDRIOD MARKET. A place whereby you look for whatever applications you would need, be it games, communications, entertainment, social etc, basically for EVERY PART, you bound to find something useful or fun to download. Now I can save on time and load, just with the phone itself, I can get access to almost all information I need. Coolbeans.
I know too many words are a Zzzzz, so here's a picturelog of the filming day of clicknetwork.tv and also, some of the functions I've explored! Very very useful indeed.
Check out the moving thumbs UP!
hehe, those are some of the applications I've downloaded.
Enjoy the picturelog! (Do wait for it to download.)






There will be a last post tomorrow at night for LG GW620, do stay tuned because its gonna be something you wouldn't want to miss, trust me!

Sampar Prodigal Pen
Dec. 25th, 2009 | 11:54 pm

Yesterday was one of the best times I had with my greatest friends, especially when almost all the closest closest and beloved girlfriends were all present with me (except for dear Haslinda & Yx who were not with us! :( ) and we had new friends coming together (they are all extremely friendly, like seriously) and in no time, we all got familiar with each other and the games were awesomely fun. No tiny bit of awkwardness at all.
Love it, love house parties, love the night, love the friends!!


*
You must be wondering what this is!

When i first heard of the product name - Sampar Prodigal Pen, it was kinda puzzling what kind of product is it for.
On a random note, I always believe that the product(s) is reliable and good when:
1) the source and location that I get or can get the product from is reliable
2) the packaging of the product
3) produced or developed internationally at countries whereby they are good at it (for example: brand loreal - country paris, etc etc)
Sampar Prodigal Pen is a blemish corrector!
It is actually called
I guess all girls or even guys, will experience breakouts sometimes, or if you have good hormones, there will definitely be times whereby a zit or so popping out, I bet in any case, blemish/pimple = hate. Hahaha, I really hate having pimples (ok, i mean who doesnt), blemishes or any single thing popping out on the skin, totally irritating me sometimes and even concealer can't cover! Especially those that has pus or whatever, one word- grosssssssss.
Anyway, here's the product I received.

I received this product almost a month plus ago, and have been using it whenever I've zits appearing on my face from time to time. Especially, especially back then during the girl's time of the month, and EXAM PERIOD! Yes, lack of sleep, lack of energy, lack of this and that, full of stress, full of worries, full of braincells killed, etc that all gathered together and yeap, not only one, but pimples started to just appear overnight and the skin was the worst during those periods.
My exams were just over 3 weeks back, and I guess not only me, but a couple of my friends also kept complaining that the eye bags were out, the skin is getting worst and all. And I let one of my friends tried the Sampar Prodigal Pen.
For myself, I had pimples popping out but fortunately, not those kind that was super painful ( i hate it so much when I had them) with pus coming out, but those that were due to oil clogging or lack of sleep. The Sampar Prodigal Pen is indeed useful for me, and I find it really amazing. For those pimples/blemishes I had, it took about a full day and they were recovered almost fully,a couple of the zits were gone, and a couple definitely faded from the soreness, and the good thing is that looking at those zits that I know will grow to become bigger, the sampar prodigal pen helps to set down the growing process, preventing the zit from getting bigger but instead, getting smaller and finally, back to the original skin!
But I had a friend whom has a zit that she was complaining that it was extremely painful.


It was the kind we know it's gonna grow out bigger. (brrrrr..) and since the prodigal pen is really convenient to carry around due to the shape of the product developed- in the pen shape. It was easy to keep, especially for guys (as most don't carry a bag when heading out) as compared to those in tubes that will have the need to make sure you don't sit on it or if its too big to keep in the pocket. For this, it is made of hard material, cannot be compressed, so no worries about keeping it anywhere! Girls can easily keep it in the make up pouch!
The smell is pretty strong for some if you like it, but I think its rather fine. I believe the strong smell has a relation to the degree of effectiveness of the prodigal pen though!

The tip makes the pen absolutely easy and smooth to apply, and the ball bearing makes the liquid conveniently flow out in ample amount, and at the same time, the ball bearing also prevents the liquid from overflowing or dripping down.
I would recommend this product to those who have breakout problems, or actually, the price is very reasonable and its good to have one with you to use it anytime you need to.
