property investment in taiwan. :)

how life changes and im doing all the adult things now.

hmm, msia w xchris this thurs. batam w sis this mon/tue. ahh i need a getaway.

屬於我的昨天之前的結局 我決定我的決定

屬於我的明天之後的憧憬 我迷信我的迷信

屬於我們點點滴滴的傷心 我們要各自忘記

屬於我們閃閃發亮的愛情 我們再一起努力

屬於我們點點滴滴的傷心 我們要各自忘記

屬於我們閃閃發亮的愛情 我們還要努力

my bday lunch with my family. my mum was there too but haha i looked awful in that photo so i didnt post it up.

lotsa activities going on but i dont have the strength to take photos. ordered a book from amazon! there is this MPH sale at expo at the end of the month.

going to watch my gf is an agent with crispy but i havent decided on the location. i fell in love with chocolate wassant lately. i even drove to ion orchard just for it yesterday night to realise that it was all sold out at 7pm. :( cos my sister tried at 8pm too and no more left for her.

anyway may make a trip down ltr or something. :)

Celine Dion - I surrender

I know I can't survive
Another night away from you
You're the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there's no better time
From this fear I will break free
And I'll live again with love
And no the they can't take that away from me
And they will see...

(Cause I'd surrender everything)
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender

im back. it has been like 3-4 months i last blogged. i wonder if anyone bothers to read it still. but then... i must try to get back my motivation for blogging. done a lot for the past few months.

completed the whole series of 家好月圆. 钟嘉欣 linda chung is soooooo pretty. alright tt is beside the point. flew to taipei for 8 days and here im back. heading for batam in dec with my sister. this weekend going into JB with crispy to look for xchris. i can never stop planning where to go next.

and yes japan this march 2010. :) thanks to the promo for msia airline! $398 nett. yay.

alright i shall try to blog more often. but for now, i just came back sourcing for a surprise present for crispy bday and ordered a very pretty cake from rive gauche for her!

hello to the _0th bday. oops.

photos for taipei. anyway it is just me and char. we walked around and read storybooks like we were tai-tais. speaking of which, i also finished up jodi picoult - my sister's keeper. wat a sad ending.





i have started my organiser which i bought frm taipei. 09/2009-12/2010. a very colourful book. a nice and sweet little way to start my year.

and ahma! lunch at JPOT this 10th nov! :) and 13th nov - crystal jade holland v steamboat with char and my sis.

i hope these small little things in life keep me motivated no matter how much i hate to go to work. if u are wondering, tt is right im disliking my job now because of my managers. they are so nice and wonderful to me. :/

love.

原来容忍不需要天份
只要爱错一个人
心痛比快乐更真实
爱为何这样的讽刺

hooked onto my mp3 player with 2gb worth of songs... :) 3d2n msia today! going to boost msia economy! going in with crispy! yay.

AND TAIWAN FROM 7-14 OCT AGAIN! I -HEART- TAIWAN.

oh and i bought my little big planet, plus another ps3 controller. bought one lcd samsung tv for mommy. had the best vegetarian food. going to watch food inc this monday. simple things mean so much in life. :)

im just plain lazy to update. gosh.

indra maya. the short getaway.

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place

INDRA MAYA. OMG. IM SO LAGGING IN MY UPDATES.



tadah!



the villa.



the amazing pool.



see the float? jesse got it for free when her bf bought ps3 e other time. so we bought it along!



the hall.



the rooms.


our exclusive buggy. :)









the lovely views!

parting is such sweet sorrow.

For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch you set me free

my on-repeat-mode song on my new mp3 player. :)

anyway i took an impromptu photo with my junior officer tt day cos he is going over to pasir panjang terminal.



i was quite reluctant to take tt photo cos i had this huge pimple. :( but it was one of the last few days in brani terminal oh well. for memory's sake. :) taken with his hp camera. and i think i gained so much weight tt i cant see my eyes anymore!! :(

and im back from bintan and msia!

rebonded and dyed my hair in bintan. gosh, what are those harsh chemicals doing to my hair? :/

here's a pic from glorious bintan!

this is chong li. my cousin's fren. all e other photos are with my cousin. wait till she uploads them and i will steal them. heh.

life's looking good. received calls with good news. now gg to finish up my report and then rush down to expo sale.

june.

june is a tiring month cos of all the meet up with frens. met up with suz and sulin e other day for a walk in bugis. then char and my sister for laksa steamboat at telok blangah. tung lok lunch buffet with my mum and sisters to celebrate my mum's bday.



i cut my hair!! i did!! but i guess this is the shortest i can go. no courage to cut it even shorter. i looked super tired cos i only slept for 2 hrs after night shift. the bill was horrifying!! but the happiness and joy on that day was sth that $ cant buy. :)



girls power!

10 more days to bintan! and after tt going to xchris's house in JB for s stayover for 2 days!

overdue photos for my sis's graduation. my lucky sister got a job in food QC. so happy for her cos she loves her new job! and she just got her first pay. yay.







love. :)

happy june!

IM HERE!

anyway i think i havent blogged for a real long time and i dunno if there is anyone still reading my blog. but shall type something to remind myself what im going through.

alright, today is pay day. and it is not a very happy day for me cos alot of thoughts are running through my mind. a job change? i was in the library the other day and i came across this inspirational book which is very thought provoking. it seems like we dont usually like to get out of our comfort zone. i have been wanting to venture out to learn new things and all. and i bet most of you are saying that this is the worst time to do so. but i say otherwise. no matter if the economy is in recession or not, so long you have the qualifications, luck and experience that the future employer is looking for, u can make it.

of course having said tt, i think it is really time to tell myself to get out of my comfort zone and to pursue wat i always wanted, wat i always promised myself. to have enough fun before i turn 25 and to settle down with a career tt i can definitely work for life. i promised myself i wanna be happy everyday.

i had fun with the vessels, cranes and prime movers. i had fun with everyone in office. but the management issue is sth something tt i can never overcome. the discouraging bosses. hmm. i can never work for bosses who do not seem to recognise efforts and only nitpick on faults.

while im exploring another journey, i dearly look forward to the 3rd june big crab dinner at amk with my team A! and plus my indra maya with jesse!

and sigh, oh man my taiwan trip. been so long. but all i can say abt taiwan is..

IT IS GOOD. IT IS SO MUCH FUN. AND THE COMPANY MADE IT ALL JUST RIGHT. :) I LOVE CHARLOTTE!!

and my sister secured a job last month!! started work this week! im so proud of her! MISS FOOD TECHNOLOGIST! *wave*

and attended her graduation ceremony at TP. now i know how my parents and sisters slept through the graduation ceermoney and pretended to be very happy and awake taking photos w me at the end of the 3 hrs session. walked ard the new tamp T1. (so boring dun ever go there)

blew $300 on kiehls products last week. oh man.

credit bill is here. thank goodness for the bonus that came in april. BEST PORT IN THE WORLD. BEST BONUS TOO. i hate the bills!! :(

i hate the luxasia and loreal sale tt happened just last month. they made me spend money. bad influence.

alright, grumbling. :)

a little hungry, shall sneak some mango into the room and sleep with mango-y dreams.

night all!

taiwan.

i left the canon ixus in the car and so i can only make do with the photos burnt by char.



jo in 垦丁



jo in 台北




jo in 高雄

indra maya villa.

indra maya this 22-25 june! PRIVATE POOL! :) all thanks to my company.

argh, taiwan trips photos and brani badmintion challenge photos still lagging. hmm, time for some accidents reports first before nap and night shift.

life. ahh.

back from taiwan eons ago.

feeling recharged but disturbed somehow because i see how lives can be led so different.

i love taiwan and the people. i love the night life. i love the pace of life. i love the food. i love the company there. i love the trip. i love every single bit of it. :)

updates soon. abt taiwan and my life.

i love you goodbye - celine dion

very nice song tt i hear on my sister's blog.

I hope someday you can Find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you
I don't really wanna go
But deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do
You'll find someone who'll be the one that I could never be
Who'll give you something better

the JB trip

my dearest team A has scheduled an outing to JB yest! the five of us went in by bus 170 and had lotsa from 11am to 7pm until my senior psa colleague, razak who happened to be in JB for his grocery shopping fetched us for yummy delicious dinner at i-dunno-where.

i met w up xchris at the mall and had a chat w her over a teapot of earl grey and a cup of blended ice green tea. parted w my colleagues for a while to catch up w her on our lives. been a meaningful chat for 2 hrs until i had to meet my colleagues for a feast and she drove me there. :)

it was a fun and meaningful trip to jb this time round and the traffic was so good during the weekdays and i wont hestiate to go in again for meet up w xchris and to feast on food.



so this is us, with razak and wife for dinner. and a trip back to singapore in his toyota wish, with tummies filled and a cheery soul.

haojing's wedding lunch.

i think my blog has been dead for sooooooooooo long..

today im on leave and i attended mr su's wedding lunch at cuppage holiday inn! :)

i met charlotte yest to shop for a new dress for the wedding lunch, something that is not too formal, yet pretty and classic. so i found it! the famous lbd. little black dress. together with my pretty orange heels with lotsa accessories. i met char to chat abt our taiwan trip and i bought a chinese taipei guide book to make sure im fully prepared for taipei.

so photos for today. too bad no bride photos cos they were too busy yam sang-ing with all the tables.



junjie and me. :) the poic of my new team.



my beloved new team A! and the groom is part of team A. the reason why i specially took leave to attend his wedding lunch!

the groom.



us. the table of senior officers with another table of managers plus one more table of quay crane operators. total 3 tables for psa. :)

im dead beat waking up at 10am, getting ready, applying make up, curling lashes, getting stuck in jam at cte and then having fun with all my colleagues and then meeting crispy for authentic japanese ramen. :)

today is short, pretty and fun. yay to today and boo to tmr cos i got night shift. :(

but yay to a JB trip this 25th and a taiwan trip this april 7-16 and bintan trip on 20-21st!

new start every 30 days.

and hello taipei in april.

happy bday yellow and haojing!

YELLOW HAPPY BDAY!! OLD LIAO!!

and here's another happy bday to my colleague haojing who braved the sun and wind and shopping sprees with us in hong kong!



:)

busy feb.

HAPPY VDAY TO ALL!

oh gosh, i just woke up at 2.30pm only. i spent the whole night playing ps3 and to complete my reports for operations.


so i got myself some new toys to pamper!




ahhh old habits die hard. i still love pretty things. was comtemplating to buy ps3 40gb or 80gb... then i gave in to the 40gb one cos the price was soooooooo attractive and the salesperson at jurong point was so nice and reserved one for me. waited for me to finish my shopping then i came back and gave him that big grin. haha. i smartly handed the saleperson my credit card. the bank just earned some money from me again.

and this is the new game tt im playing!



it is mysterious! i like it. rather than those bloody and violent games.

more games to finish playing before i poke a hole in my wallet again.







next game is on my game wish list.





omg, this is so cute la!! :)

alright! time to calm my hyper-ness.

as i was saying today is feb and what am i doing? i got work ltr and i intend to buy some cakes for my junior officers for makan cos we are all so sad, having to work on vday. i hope some sugar, flour and butter will make them a little happier.

and im half way thru my appraisal with the junior officers. i went back to office at 10pm the day before just to go thru the appraisal with them. sigh. work is the bane of my life. :(

and so for the very boring feb, i got nothing exciting except the 2 new gadgets and work and more work and more ojt.

then for march, im gg to be independent as an section overall in charge and shall prepare myself for the taipei trip in april.

april is gg to be fun! let me finish my work first charlotte, and i will read thru all abt taipei.

and new top and shoes for work today! went shopping yest. oh gosh, i think i shld settle in the mood of recession and curb the spending like how everyone else does.

good day everyone! enjoy the exorbitant food out there and also the massive traffic jam and the forever-no-parking carparks on vday! i will be celebrating it with 200 over staff in my control centre! :)

ahgong, we missed u.

just the other day, i was reading a blog post which wrote about her pain because of the death of her housemate and her best friend.

then i felt really sad. i was reminded of my grandpa's death, a pain that lingers in me all the time. feeling emotional, i texted my sister and told her not to be nervous for her class 3 practical test tomorrow and to treat the tester as our grandpa and to drive as safe as possible to ensure that our dear grandpa will be safe in the car.

life really has its way to affect us in every single way.

my grandma calls me jo-yi-na.

so this is all about me.
