Singapore & KL Trip 2010 aka Annual Pre-CNY Shopping Trip Part 2

And so, LS and I continued our shopping trip at KL... feeling so much lighter in our purses because of the Sing dollars that we have spent. Vomit blood.

Shopping in KL is pretty much the same as before...the food we ate is prob the one thing that we have changed a bit this time... After one night at JWei's place, since we arrived quite late at night, we decided not to waste hotel money and stayed at Jwei's place. After checked in to Cititel, we headed to Sungei Wang to get hair wash. Yes...hair wash. Well, actually we stopped by Hong Kong Food Culture for some tea time. The usual stuff. Fishballs...yummy... Then, to Times Square for hair wash 'cause we suddenly remembered that there is this hair salon there pretty good... We are so worn out from Singapore that we decided that we want to have a proper Chinese meal for dinner. We went to this Hakka Restaurant in The Gardens. The lotus root is really good. The other dishes are just ok ok... I have eaten better.

The second night, we had... TGIF...and then went to watch movie... hehe... We went to watch Tooth Fairy. Pretty funny... Meant to watch the local production "Woo Hoo" but didnt... Oh well...

Ls and I are not really fond of going to Sunway Pyramid for some unknown reason....It seems that sometimes we really cant find anything to buy there despite of the huge choices. It is just weird. But we still go there. We had our brunch at Dragon-i before starting our journey...Preserved veggie in the noodle soup is so refreshing. The xiao long baos are a disappointment. The ones at Ding Tai Fung are better. :p
We ended our shopping earlier than expected and so we went back to hotel to rest and then met up with a friend. And... we had Korean food as dinner. Oh..I am getting hungry looking at the kimchi jiggae. Darn...

Overall, this year trip is surprisingly exhausting. LS and I ran out of energy to shop when we are in KL... Singapore killed us. I am quite happy with what I bought...

Singapore & KL Trip 2010 aka Annual Pre-CNY Shopping Trip

It is unavoidable - LS and I have once again go on a shopping trip. This is time we have included Singapore into the itinerary and also a new travel companion to Singapore - let's call her D.We three stayed at this Aqueen Hotel at Balestier Road. It is still quite new and clean. The room is really small but we sort of expected that already. The shower toilet room is just a partition of glass... kind of see through... haha.. thank goodness, we are all girls. D's Singapore (not Singaporean) friend, SH, brought us around and taught us how to get to the nearest MRT - Tao Payoh...at the HDB Hub. Coincidentally HBD Hub is celebrating its 50th anniversary and they have this really cool tiles thingy on the wall..and everytime we passed there, there are people looking at it..analysing the tiles...
Our first shopping place is Ion and to be honest, I cant afford to shop there. Can only window shopping. SH brought us to window shop at LV, Burberry, Gucci etc... Right now..not possible. I hope it is possible to really shop there in the future. :p
Lunch is... Nothing special lo. The next day, instead of shopping at Orchard Road - we did some shopping at Orchard Road the night before, we went to Woodlands and Boon Lay to shop. The items on sale actually look more affordable but... I didn't went all crazy la. Btw, we had Mos Burger for brunch. I think it is safe to say that we shopped till we drop at Boon Lay. My hands actually hurt from carrying all the shopping bags. SH treated us dinner at Ding Tai Fung - which I remember that last time I went to Singapore, I sampled its xiao long baos and chicken soup. Refer here. This time, I got to sample more dishes. Hehe... Erm... The final day, we went to Orchard Road again to see if we can shop for more stuff. Our flight is at night so... no hurry. We even arrived at the airport earlier than expected so we went to have dinner at Sakae Teppanyaki. Not bad... I think I had my first taste of foie gras. :p The chawa mushi is cooked in big onion skin... kind of cool. :p

KL part of the shopping trip - coming soon.

Happy Chinese New Year~!!

Got off early from work last Friday. Early break for Chinese New Year. Spent the time decorating the wall. Tada~!! Hopefully I can get more pictures to stick on... Case this is just the first batch.

Tiger year~ Rawr~!!!

Our feast...
Loads of food. Yum..yum..yum... Haha...

I feel that I am gaining weight fast~

In Preparation of...

Just now, after work, went for facial, manicure and pedicure... Waiseh~!! Tomorrow, after work, go for eyelash perming... Double waiseh!!!

I think I made the wrong choice of nail polish...and I should have requested for an extra coating or something to make it last. I have the tendency to ... wear off the nail polish fast. Sigh... Better get a clear nail polish tomorrow to apply on my nails to make it last.

I have been wanting to decorate the bedroom wall with photos and etc...but din progress much. Tonight I just took off the huge poster and planning to go develop photos tomorrow...then, hopefully by tomorrow night, the wall become colourful...
I am thinking..messy picture collage. Or should I go for the tidy line-by-line picture arrangement? Hmmm....

Blogging from my room

The Brother, JWei, is back.

I have self-banished myself to my room. Relinquished my laptop spot to him. Good also la... I can have some privacy. :p Cannot stand listening to him talking to his 'raid' buddies while 'raiding' Sweat~~

Help~!! Just a few more days to chinese new year and my hair is completely tangled. Oh no~!!

The Power of Dreams

After discussing...arguing...dong nothing...for such a long time...finally... Ladies and gentlemen, my new car. Honda City.

Ok..no more indulgence. No more travelling. Must pay car loan each month. Pray I get thru.

Got back from my pre-cny shopping trip on Saturday... Very tiring but I still stayed up late to play facebook and to catch up my mangas... Result - super sleepy at work. Die. Die die also stay awake the whole time. Promised myself that I will sleep early tonight.

But...I am currently cleaning the chandelier...yes, the chandelier...the small crystals formation hanging from the ceiling... it's my annual job to clean it. This year is no exception. Told mum that I will clean it and she will be coming to Miri tomorrow so can't delay anymore. Tonight must clean it...

I wonder if I can actually sleep early tonight....Hmm...

I really thought that...

I will be flying off on 1st February... But actually I am flying on 31st January. Alamak!
Just printed out the itineraries... in preparation for tomorrow's discussion of the trip to SG and KL. Then, got the shock when I saw the date of departure. Shit! I have been wrong all this time. Fortunately got print the itinerary.

Anyways, just editted my posts - removed all the work related element. Got warned about it so now, finally have the time to remove it.

Dyed my hair auburn red... Dye sponsored by mom and the colouring work is done by Jac at my place. I havent gotten to take pics of the new colour ... somemore, I havent dyed my hair for quite some time. It is a bit weird to see my hair reddish.

I want to see the Merlion!!

Yosh!

Had the Waldorf Salad at Citrus during lunch with Chai. Quite nice o. Quite refreshing because the content is fruits and the dressing is yogurt. Me like-y.

Happy now-belated Birthday to Aaron~! I just got to post this up. Hehe... People, this is what you can call as cost saving, environmental friendly, lazy way of wrapping a gift. Just that one sheet on newspaper and cellotape ... wrap up the gift... use marker to write on the newspaper wrapper.. I think it is best to use the page where there is no colour, just plain black and white.

Coming soon... The tasting of the sour Japanese crackers. I can tell you that I am definitely keeping the wrapper after eating the content. Haha!!

Tour Guide Me

Lynthia's KTT friends came over to Miri for a visit and Lynthia recruited Joaquina and I to become the drivers.

We started with breakfast at Yakin then to Curtin University then to Grand Old Lady then to lunch at Mdm Wee's then to Bintang Megamall then to go around the town area and then finally to Luak Esplanade.

Whoa! Kind of fun and also tiring.. along the tour, my car broke down. Sweat.

I feel the power

The Power Lunch at Starbucks...Since we got the Cow Year keychain, we simply must have the Tiger Year keychain as well. Oh no... will this lead to many more years of keychains~?
I have been online-ing from my bed for many nights already. Seems more comfortable than sitting downstairs... And I develop a liking to wear pyjamas... Maybe I should get a complete set of pyjamas when there is a sale.
My mum's latest project...letter holder thingy... The striped one is mine and the material is the same with my sleeping pants. Sweat.

Damn Sleepy

It is almost midnight. I am still awake... but feeling awfully sleepy. This is just bad... 'cause the food in Cafe World still need about one hour plus to be done cooking and I am not sure if I will actually have enough time tomorrow morning to click on them. ah..dilemma.

I think I better sleep and make sure that I have enough time tomorrow morning to click on facebook.

2 rounds...

I think this is my first time to have BBQ two days in a row. The chicken wings are super yummy~~!!!
It was a last minute decision... er..no, should be a sudden decision. I didn't expect myself to be going to such a place. But I did. Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort. Kind of fun there. Unexpectedly relaxing and I cant believe that I sweated so easily when we did the jungle trekking. The sweats just kept dripping down. Whoa~! Then then... the ducklings following this mother duck around is so cute~~!!! Sorry...Reading a manga while writing this blog so I am a bit weird... Ah~! I only put my feet pic in here 'cause the thingy on my lower lips has not recovered yet.
Before stepping into the new year, us cousins (the ones in Miri) went out to Citrus to eat... talk...drink..
The many faces of Abelle before she starts devouring the Mac Cheese.
The rest of our food....
Darn... I am getting hungry looking at all these food. Bah~~

2010

Happy New Year~!

Starting a new job in a few more hours. I am still wide awake. The sleep problem seems to be at its worst tonight. Darn!

Message to Carol

Dear Carol,

Good morning. I have a favor to ask of you this fine morning. Could you please help me to make booking for the RM200 room at the opposite karaoke place? Book the room for tonight. I will be calling you a bit later at about 8am something to ask you in case you don't check my blog (which means you are lying to me about being my loyal blog reader. Kidding~!)

Thanks in advance.

Love,

Gohyie

p/s: Ignore the date of the post. I have no idea how to change it to 31st December because of the time. :p

A longer post

Someone told me that I have been writing rather short blog posts. Which is true...'cause I dont really have much to write. Gasp~

Anyways, instead of feeling discouraged, I felt rather challenged and decided to look really hard for something to write. Yosh...
I have been eyeing at this piece of flowery thingy at Lovely Lace for quite some time. Really want to get it but didn't buy it because it is of no use at all. Haha... Just want to have it for the sake of having it. Got it as a Christmas present. Yea~~ Apart from this, I also got a dozen can of beer during the Christmas gift-exchange at Rex Box... Sweat~
I have an obsession with dark glittery purple nails recently. I just couldnt stop myself from buying it. Erm...The colour has chipped off from the nails. Haha...I am not a dainty person. Going to have it on my nails till the first day of the new year and then no more.

Which brings me to talk about my new job in the new year. Going to start this new job at this company which I still have no idea what name. Hopefully everything will go well.
I seriously think that my english is getting worse and worse. And so, I have been doing a bit of light reading recently in order to improve it. Mills & Boon. Romance novels. Erm... Haha... No pressure or stress from reading them.

Carol, want to borrow them?

Re-watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians the other day. Kim K went for Lasik surgery and she claims she can see quite well overnight. The whole surgery seems to be painless and quite easy... I think I hear someone's friend went for this Lasik surgery as well. I wonder if i can also go for it. Maybe do it at Stahl Eye Center.

Bah~

Another year

My blog has aged another year. Whoa.. Fifth year le.

Went to Brunei and came back with a flu. Nevertheless, I still went out to party for Xmas... I think I am still tired from still having a bit of flu left and too much activities... Probably also because I cant sleep when I wanted to sleep...

Ah~

Am I not capable enough?

This is really pissing me off. Am I really that not capable of driving all the way to Bandar? Why can't they just trust me and let me do it?

Arrgghh... I am so pissed off~!!!

This is the time

This is the time that I hate to see food pics... Karma...

Because I am skipping dinner and I am hungry. Grr...

Drinking this slightly bitter drink that is supposed to help strengthen/heal/fortify the kidneys...or is it the liver?

Sleeping early to curb the hunger. Going to wake up to a morning of great breakfast. Yes~!

Sorry

I just realised that I went into my non-post mode again. Haha...

Erm... Firstly, hair - i didnt cut it short. Change of mind. Mum said it is better to perm (and colour). But she said she didnt say that when I told everyone that she is the one who changed my mind. She was merely commenting how permed (and coloured) hair is much nicer. Bleh... i am still looking for that killer picture of me in permed (and black) hair.

As for my job searching quest, well, it is still in progress. Too many uncertainties.

My weight is still the same. I have been getting mixed reviews from people. Some people said that I have lost some weight. Some people said that I have gained weight. The scale says that I still weigh the same. Haha... I have been really hardworking - go walk at Taman Bulatan on weekdays. :D

And then...there is this annoying thing. The tenant. He is overdue on his first month rent payment. WTF (Sorry). The broker, whom I messaged, did not return my message. WTF (Sorry again). Just sent a sms to the tenant. Hopefully the payment will come in fast. Otherwise, I might have to actually go and ask face to face liaw.

Ok.. About time to go. Time to walk off the fats.

Potong

It has been so long since I last had short hair. At least 7 years already, I think. I shall cut it this month. Dont know how short am I willing to go for yet. Mental preparation..mental preparation. Hehe...

Tidied my wardrobe today. Got rid of quite a lot of clothes. A bit sayang but they must go. Old dont go, new very hard to come in. Hehe...
