R-e-m-i-n-i-s-c-i-n-g

We were doing a minor renovation at home... and it was one of those times when your mom would force you to go through all your things that you have accumulated your entire life and start throwing them away one by one.

It wasn't particularly a very fun task for me cos i hate throwing away things! If I could, I would keep them all till i'm 90 or something. hehe.

so there I was one sunday afternoon, going through all my stuff, reminiscing about all the wonderful things that have happened to me when I was young-er. Like many other little kids in the 90's, I managed to collect anything and everything under the sun!!!

Stickers!! - shiny ones, hairy ones (heh), glow in the dark ones...

Stamps - I think the whole world collect stamps at one point in their life. hehe.

Erasers! - Haha.. i thot this was super cool...

Found one 'soccer-shoes-shaped' eraser! how cool is that! :p

Other than these ... I collected old currency, phone cards.. and and... 偶像卡 (idol cards)!!!! hahaha... hmm... I wanted to throw them all away.. but my sis said that probably we should keep it for a while.... who knows they will fetch us a high price one day...hmmm... you know.... like baseball cards!!.... woahahahaha...

Also found stacks of postcards! bring back memories of school days... when me and my friends would exchange postcards with messages written on them almost every single day! I wonder why we didnt just say it face to face....maybe it is the excitement of receiving a note or a letter! heheh.. oh well..those were the days.....

Maybe this is the beginning that made grown-up fel not do well in expressing her deeper feelings in front of other people verbally. I seldom or dont say stuff like... "i miss you"....or.... " i love you" ... kekeke.... but i will type/msg/text stuff like that... hmm...wait... not really.. i dun think i will text "i love u" either ... ahhaha.... (not yet at least) ....my point is!! i express myself better in words than verbally. i hum ji laaa...... :p shy.

Found some old projects that I did in school too... i was amazeeed at how creative i was!! woahahah... on the right side of the pic... i burnt the edges of the papers to give them an...olden days feeeel. ahhaha..... i know i know... some of you will be like "cheey!" but heloooo... i was in my primary school when I did that hoh!!! primary school!!! hahahah... and the left one... I used recycled paper to write the entire project on. nooo waait waait... it's not the recycled paper that you bought off the shelf alriteee.... the papers were recycled by moi! hahaha... you know... put some rough paper in the water, meshed it all up, blend it if possible, then lay them and shape them according to the shape of your choice... leave it to dry.. and voila! hand-made recycled paper! =D hahaha.... i am soo proud of myselfffff..... (^^)

I was reading through all the cards that my friends gave me all from primary school till university..... and somehow... I got to know myself all over again. apparently I have been telling all my friends since secondary school that I wanted to go on overseas voluntary trips to build houses (which I still havent been!) and since then I was already a pro-recycling paper kind of girl. I was actually quite amazed!! hahaha.... as in... maybe this is my calling! why have I never realised it before!! hahahaha.....

I also realised that I have 'lost' a few good friends along the way.... one of them is the girl who wrote me most of that postcards up there (see pic above haha).... i was tempted to put up a 'missing persons' notice here.. hehe... but on second thoughts......

........ i'll try my luck on facebook first.

Ben & Jerry's Vermonster!

my first Vermonster from Ben & Jerry's!

it was craaazy... 20 scoops of ice cream with bananas, brownies and complete toppings! so we got every flavour that they have! :)

It was tons of excitement until all the ice cream started to melt together in the tub.

we couldnt differentiate one flavour from another anymore! hahaha... but it was super funny!

it was a birthday celebration for wb! :)

oh.. and this is the group of people that I have been training for my half marathon with!

ahhaha.. yea pj.. i read about your running plan and thought about mine!! kekeke...

3 of them are running the full marathon in december.

me.. hehe.. too weak... only dare to challenge the half marathon with qx!

so we have been training for it cos the marathon is just around the corner!

and really.. i just want to complete it! :p

last friday i managed to run approximately 17km

PAINFULLY!

it felt reaaally goood!!

but only after the knee pain and the spasm in my calf and thigh muscles have subsided.....

.... which took about 2 days.

Jay Chou 周杰伦 - Dao Xiang / 稻香

Jay Chou's new song!

i really love his songs. very....soothing to the ear and very catchy!!

the lyric is meaningful too...! very comforting...

will pick out those that made me smile! :)

对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨

跌倒了就不敢继续往前走

( if you have too many complaints about the world,

you wont be able to pick yourself up when you face failure)

追不到的梦想换个梦不就得了

(if you fail to achieve your dreams, just change to another dream! no biggie :p)

我们是不是该知足

珍惜一切就算没有拥有

(shouldnt we be contented with life. Appreciate everything even without owning it)

hahaha... something along that line la!!

this song makes me smile everytime!

reminds me of all my happy-go-lucky, contented friends that I have

who constantly remind me to appreciate all the beautiful things in life

......and to always remember to be happy!

since .... i cant remember when.... i started smiling even when i'm in a foul mood.

it will trick my brain to think that i'm happy and then i will naturally feel happy!

hahah...read it somewhere.

i think it works.

try it!

(^.^)

new resolution

2008-10-29T16:07:00.002+08:00

I have 15 minutes before I have to tag along to a meeting.

I promised myself to keep my blog alive! But I failed heheh… my excuse is that my blog is supposed to be a photo blog! So logically, no photos means no blogging rite??

Heheh.. but hc asked me to go and update the blog a little on wat’s happening with me now… so that whenever he checked out my blog.. at least there’s something to read. Ahahhaha…sad la hc.. why keep checking my blog.. hahahaha :p

I love pj’s blog! (^.^) Easy to read and so interesting… I want my blog to be like yours pj!!

Maybe I will try to make my blog a blog instead of a photo blog.

And one thing I learnt while reading pj’s blog is that she always talk about one incident at one time… unlike me.. I like to babble on and on about a million and one things. Makes it confusing for a blog I guess….

So I shall end here cos it’s the end of one topic already i.e. I am trying to keep my blog alive!

=D

(basically it involves alot of people, standing body to body, and squeezing and pushing to get through immigration. euww)

and dear germ prepared us warm foooood when we finally reached her house!

the next day we ventured macau on our own, in search of the famous egg tarts in macauuu...

and then we took the train to sentosaaaa....

sleepy fel.

pictures in the lift of Siloso Beach Resort...

first time i saw 4 beds in a room...

the room's pretty big... but a tad... empty.

it was pouring that day. cant really go enjoy the sun and catch hunky lifeguards at the beach

(damn!)

so we ended up taking pics in the room for a while....

(wah...why all sit so straight... ahahha)

then we got bored... and decided to go for....

fish reflexology!

yeap yeap... it's one of those where small fishes would nibble at your feet to get rid of your dead skin! it was.... preeetty cool and i have been wanting to try it for the longest time!!

it was... ticklish..... but reaaally cooool when you have hundreds of fishes swarming at your feet! (if only they were men...woahaha..kiddin.)

and theeeen... we went to the underwater world.

it's been a while since i went... so it was really quite refreshing and interesting for me...

"dont eat me! dont eat me!"

-__-'''

theen... we went to the Song of the Sea performance.

i used to jump outside the performance area wanting to get a glimpse of the show. but now that i've watched it.... i say.... it's not worth it!

i thought the storyline was..... (wat story line!?)

and the water thingy was... just so-so....

the laser thing was....abit old fashioned..

and the fireworks were...unsatisfying.

and we had to pay 8 bucks for it.

lost my phone

2008-07-25T10:39:00.002+08:00

well.... i must say ... the last few... hours of my life without a phone.... is quite....a good feeling.

there is a tiny feeling of liberation and freedom.

I left my phone in a restaurant i had dinner at. It was nice of them to actually called some of my friends from my call history. They called qx whom i was with but she didnt pick up the phone -__-.... and I realised I left my phone a little too late. When i went back to the restaurant, they were already closed.

When i got home, hc told me in msn that the restaurant called him about my phone...and he went to leave msgs in my msn and my emails to tell me that I have left my phone at the restaurant.... hahahah.....he sounded a little bit more worried than me cos he tried to ask for my home number from dq. i felt so bad laaa!! hc sorry sorry hoh... hahaha.....

felt a little insecure without my phone for a while....

i felt the need to keep my phone with me all the time.... to constantly check if someone has texted me or called me.... but most of the time... there really is nobody.

but maybe... maybe i aaaaam expecting someone to text me and call me. :p

...........slowly i kinda like the feeling of "not being found".

2008-07-23T18:03:00.007+08:00

After thoughts

2008-06-15T03:17:00.006+08:00

oh man.. you have no idea how tiring blogging all that in one shot can be! (for those who have no clue what I am talking about, I am referring to my blog entries below for my China trip updates!) hehehe.. although most of them are just photos, but the rearranging of the photos can be a pain you know!!! and i was too tired to adjust the spacings between the pictures and all.. hehehe...so please forgive my messiness! :p

aniwae... i thought i'd like to express some of my thoughts after my extraordinary trip to china and hongkong.

I am so glaaad that I am alive! =D

When we got back from the trip and after re-telling our experiences a few thousand times, we realised that we were so lucky to be at the right place at the right time. Even though we were in China and experienced a little "hardship" after the earthquake aftermath, (cant really call that hardship.. but cant find a milder word than that at the moment), we didnt actually feel the tremor at all.

The earthquake was at 2 pm that day and our flight was scheduled at 4 pm the very same day.

If we had taken an earlier flight, we would definitely be stuck at Chengdu when the earthquake occurs.
If we were a day late, we would have still be in JiuZhaiGou, and it was not exactly safe to be in such a mountainous area during an earthquake.

We were very lucky to be where we were.

I dont know.... even though I didnt feel any tremors and didnt witness any of the tragedies that you see in the newspaper.... just the fact that I was so near it, makes me realise once again, how short life is.

This whole incident made me rethink about my life, my career, my personal well being, and especially my relationships with my family and friends.

I have been unhappy for a while now... and it is affecting my relationship with my family. I would like to change all that and be happy once again! I feel like... all these time that I was unhappy, I was spreading black clouds to other people through my actions or inactions. (hahaha was trying to be philosophical there :p) but talking about black clouds....I really felt like there are black clouds hovering around my head the whole time I was unhappy. and after thinking things through and making some huge decisions to change my life a little, I felt like this black clouds are finally thinning and I can see things clearly now.

Knowing myself, I had to resort to something drastic to get my act up together! To stop feeling sorry for myself and not do anything about it! I waaant to changeee my lifeeeee... i want to be like PJ ...!! to feel happy for no reason!!! (hehehe)

sigh.. i'm never good at expressing my inner feelings in my blog. my blog is suppose to be all funny and strictly photos. no emotions. hehhehe.... well now you know why......cos my english is shit! hehehehe

ahh... but one good news for me is....

...... i have been sleeping like a baby every single nite after the stupid black clouds are gone.

no more sleepless nites for fel! :)

China and Hong Kong Trip 2008

2008-06-14T23:04:00.009+08:00

Alrite alrite… this is the long awaited blog entry ever I bet! Hahahaha… ef just couldn’t wait for me to blog on this one! Heheheh…

it took me a whole week to upload all the pictures man... tough work! :p

Warning:

There might be an overwhelming number of pictures containing these 3 pretty ladies below. So please scroll down at your own discretion.

hee hee :p

I thought I should warn people in case they get bored of seeing….. us.

aniwaeeeee...
I went on a trip to China and Hong Kong in May 2008 with my colleagues, Hwee Peng and Sijie.

Actually the initial plan was to go to Tibet and then to Hong Kong. But … as you are all aware that there were riots going on in Tibet then, so… nahhh… we decided not to take the risk.

BUT… we have already bought the tickets and so we decided to go to around China instead, and then to Hong Kong.

Soooo aniwae… enough of the background story!

Air China to Chengdu, China

and i went to lala land the moment i sat in the aeroplane...

heeey.. it was damn early in the morning man..7am!... i need my beauty sleep! :)

And approximately 4 hrs later we arrived at Chengdu Airport.

our first bowl of very oily noodle in Chengdu...

......and this noodle is the reason i realised....

THAT I FORGOT TO BRING MY CASH !!! -__-'''

smart fel.

I forgot to bring all my Renminbi and HK dollar. but thank goodness I withdrew some in Singapore Airport before I left..... for unexpected events like this i suppose.

maybe i'm psychic.

so there i was.... frantically exchanging my pathetic few hundred dollars that was gonna last me for......2 weeks!

oh well.... shit happens. :p

Finally... after waiting the whole afternoon for the flight to Jiu Zhai Gou, we arrived at Jiu Zhai Huang Long Airport!

we got down from our taxi to enjoy the breeze and the scenery.....

our decent room

our first dinner. and maaaan... their food is reaaally damn oily.....

the happy fel ....

.....ready for bed.

Jiu Zhai Gou

2008-06-14T23:01:00.045+08:00

Our first stop was Jiu Zhai Gou....

to be honest, i've heard of this place before, but dun have the slightest idea what it was famous for....so i went with zero expectations....

.....and i should say.... i was....blown away....

wooohh....fel = flowers

(woow..blown away siaa...) ahahhahaahaha....

i meant that...there were really alot of pretty good scenery there.

oei! huiping!....cannot jump across the fence one laaa.... hahahahaha .....

hahahahahahahaha....

sijie... i think you are standing a little too close to me. kekeke...

okay! before i start showing all the beauuutiful pictures that I am sure everyone of you is dying to see (hehehe)... i have to make a disclaimer...

i have actually forgotten what are the names of some of the places i visited and in which order that we visited them. so i mean... heck riteee... i dun think you guys are interested in such details aniwae!

hahahaha....so here they are!

random pics in random orders :p

五彩池
(5 colours pond)

was told that if there was more water, it would be prettier.

this is our lunch area. we paid $3 for a cup noodle. expensive stuff for a cup of noodle in China man...

poser fel

i took this picture i took this picture!!

this is sijie in deep thoughts.

hehehe.... although the idea came from me.. my photography skill is shit! so sijie had to show me how to take the picture first. hehehehe...

hahahha...cos we were on timer.... we obviously had no sense of what area was gonna be in the picture....

fel: let me out !! let me out!!

sigh... the uncle helping us to take the picture obviously didnt have a clue what we re trying to do....we assume that he would just take our faces..... but he revealed all those unglam position below. Bah!

hp enjoying it all....

fel also want :p

原始森林

from the photo is said "Promivall Forest" kekeke.... aniwae it's some forest.

scared scared!

aarrrghhhhh............

tired fel

Behind the scenes:
sneak peek at what happens behind the scenes. Not for the weak hearted.

*yaaaaawnssss*...

zzzzzz...

ZZzzzzz......

ZZZZZZ.....

heehehe...

told u i was tired.

Huang Long

2008-06-14T23:01:00.044+08:00

The next destination was Huang Long....

and we had to check out as we were flying out of Jiu Zhai Gou back to Chengdu in the afternoon....

took some last shots outside our hotel...

our very nice taxi driver told us that we were going up to an altitude of 4000m, so he recommended us this:

he said it will prevent us from having altitude sickness like dizziness, vomitting and even shock!!

so fel hurriedly drank them all up and kept some in her spectacle box for safety. hehehe

we took the cable car up!

argghhhhhh.....whyyyyyy.....whyyyyyyyyyyyyy....

hehehehe

sijie: arrghhhhhhh...

fel: shhhhhhhh..........

we had to climb allllll the way up to see what Huang Long is famous for...

yes.my hair is so cool.

and this is it!

what Huang Long is famous for. but again... we came at the wrong season...not enough water so the scene wasnt as pretty as it should be!

after visiting Huang Long, the 3 of us went straight to the airport to catch the 4 pm flight.

We checked in all our luggage and was waiting at the Departure Hall when.....

.....there was news of the Sichuan earthquake!

All flights to and from Chengdu Airport were cancelled.

It was quite scary when everyone ran to the the TV to listen to the unfortunate news.

we were stuck in Jiu Zhai Gou and wasnt able to fly out.

Air China arranged for us to stay in Jiu Zhai Gou until further notice as to when is the next flight out to Chengdu would be available.....so we waited....

here...

eating only these...

and ending up looking like this!

stopppp laughing!!!

that was the result of 2 days without showering and proper sanitation. well basically all the electricity was cut, i.e. there was no heater to keep us warm and it was pretty cold! there wasnt even hot water for us to eat our cup noodles or to make something warm for ourselves.

Other than the electricity, all the local telephone line was also down due to the earthquake. we had no way of contacting the airline to check for information. we could only call the people in Singapore to gather information and to report our safety to our loved ones. we were afraid that we will run out of phone batteries and with no electricity available, we even had to ration our handphone use. only one handphone switched on at one time.

Apart from all that, we were only eating buns and crackers the whole of the 2 days. actually the hotel did provide us with food, but.... it was reaally oily and we didnt have much appetite aniwae. so we just munched on crackers while playing cards with a tiny glow of light coming from the candle given by the hotel.

The hotel lady knocked on our door one afternoon. She told us to "Run when you hear anyone scream!! ok!! RUN!!"

and we were like "why?? why?? why must we run??"

lady: "in case there are aftershocks."

We realised we are not entirely safe yet.

At nite, we didnt change out of our clothes and slept with our shoes on and carried our bags. We were all ready to jump up and run if we hear anything.

We stayed there for 2 nites before the airport arranged for a flight out for us.

many were affected.

we finally got to eat our cup noodles at the airport.

fel: dun take dun take... my hair oily! heheh

worn out trios.

it was really an unexpected turn of events.

we decided to cancel our original trip (Dali, Lijiang, Kunming) and decided to fly straight to Hong Kong for safety.

we were so relieved that we were flying out to Hong Kong and was grateful that we were safe and sound.

Disneyland Hong Kong

2008-06-14T23:00:00.016+08:00

I didnt think I would ever be this excited about Disneyland!

It was very cool how the train to the Disneyland is specially designed to fit the whole theme!

Check out the thingy that you hold in the train! hahahah...dunnoe wat it's called man.

even the train windows are in the shape of Mickey Mouse!

and they have disney characters decorations for us to take pics with!

yaaaaaaaaaaaay....!!

The Golden Mickey!

We went for a couple of shows like this and i was utterly impressed!
They were sooo gooood!! especially......TARZAN!
hahahahaa... i never knew tarzan is so muscular! :p

Other than tarzan, there were sooooo many other good looking men dancing and winking their eyes at meee!! hahahahaha....i know i knoww.. they are dancers for the parades, but still..!!! they are cuuuute!! ahahhahah...

The fireworks was pretty too! and they were really not stingy with the fireworks. I was impressed and surprised that they do this every single nite!

Jay Chou Concert 2008

2008-01-20T18:52:00.000+08:00

19 January 2008

Jay Chou Concert in Singapore

Also the day when Jay Chou turns 29!!

Some freebies for the audience

Singapore Indoor Stadium

take picture take picture!!!

We were on time!

But many seats were still unoccupied.

Talk about punctuality maaan!!

I would scream if i were sitting at the top sitting area which is probably only a few dollars cheaper.

No freebies maaaaann....

heheehehhe

finally.... more people are coming in.

we were getting sleepy waiting for the show to start...

finally.....

WOOOO HOOOOOO... ZHOUUU JIEEE LUUUUUUNNNNNN.....!!!

i frantically tried to capture pictures of jay...

but from a distance that far... i cant see anything maaaan....

this part was the highlight of the whole show i thought!

斗琴

I was extremely impressed with the piano played in the movie "secret"

and he actually re-enact the part where he was having a piano duel in the show,

onto the stage!

It was..... just.... beautiful.....

hahahahahah

I wont say that this is the best concert I have ever been to.

But Jay was....gooooooooood.... daaaamn goooooooood... hahahahah...

but one of the reasons why i didnt enjoy the concert as much as I would like to... is... cos...

...... i couldnt stand up!

(yes yes... no standing up in concerts in singapore. safety issues guys.)

and wat's bad....everyone sitting at my sector was soooooo.. freeeaaaking ....... calm.

They just..... sat..... calmly throughout the show.

and shin and I were dying to stand up!!!! and screeeeamm and shouuuuuut...!!!

Only when Jay was singing the last song did we.....politeeely asked the people behind us if they are okay with us standing up.

suckssss.....

A couple sitting in front of us was worse.

They didnt even claaaap!!! and whenever shin and I screamed...

......she would cover her ears.

-_-

but..... it was still fun!!

Both of us were screaming like school girls and the brave shin kept on 告白-ing to Jay.....

.....with her.....

"ZHOU JIEE LUUN WO AI NIIIIIIIII"

haHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thank you Shin for waiting in front of the computer to book for the tix! :D

Thank you shiiiiiiiiinnn....!!!

next show

功夫灌蓝

yay!

How is Blackle saving energy?

Blackle was created to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black.

"Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002

In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine.

Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.

We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up.

Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

Ease up on the meat

Meat is the most resource-intensive food on the table and eating less of it can be the single most green move a person makes. Producing meat requires huge amounts of water, grain, land, and other inputs including hormones and antibiotics, and leads to pollution of soil, air, and water. A pound of beef requires around 12,000 gallons of water to produce, compared to 60 gallons for a pound of potatoes. If you’re a meat eater, for starters, try cutting out a serving of meat each week. Going vegetarian or vegan is a profoundly meaningful environmental choice.
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/10/how_to_green_yo_8.php

(ok! the pic is not exactly linked to the paragraph hehhehe..)

hmmm.....i think i might eat less meat. My aim is to have a "no-meat" day once a week.

let's see if i can do it.

pj i'm coming to join you. ahahhahahaha....

No More Hair For Hope

2007-06-23T22:19:00.000+08:00

Hello All....

I regret to tell all of you that... i will not be shaving for Hair for Hope this year after all.

Apparently I have missed their application deadline and due to some system limitations and other administration problems, they were not able to give me both the online pledge as well as the pledge card. Without these, I am not confident that I will be able to raise as much funds as I would like to. Therefore, I have made the decision to not take part in this event.

To be honest, I do find them very inflexible and a little..... unfeeling for a charity organization. But hey... let's not judge an organization by its cover. heh~!

However, please do not let me stop you from supporting their cause. If you would still like to donate, i'm sure you know where to go.

Thank you so much everyoneeeee....!

Hair For Hope

2007-06-16T00:35:00.000+08:00

Yes!

I am sure some of you have heard of the news that Daphne Yuan is taking part in the "Hair For Hope" event held this year.

This means that she would be shaving her head for charity, in support for the Children's Cancer Foundation.

Yes you read it right.

Shave her head.

and.....

..........I am going to do it with her.

Yes me!

The girl who will always be caught checking out her fringe at every reflection she can find.

*grin*

On a serious note, I have been contemplating to participate in this event for the longest time! It is definitely not an easy decision for me and I have been thinking so hard about it and asking everyone around me for advice and opinions. I took all of them in. The encouraging and the harsh.

However, it still boils down to me.

What do I want to do and how do I feel about doing it.

To me, my initial and biggest motivation was definitely the donations. If I were able to raise more funds by shaving my head, and try my best to spread the awareness to as many people as I can, I think it's worth it enough for me to do it.

A lot of people have pointed out to me that, there are other ways to do charity. That I dont have to go to such extreme.

I agree.

But I feel that this is one of the ways that I am able to make an impact, big enough to raise (hopefully) a considerable amount of donations.

However, during the time that I was telling my friends about Hair for Hope, I realised that it is more than about the money. I get to not only spread awareness about the Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF), but also to remind my friends about the importance of giving back to the community.

It does not have to be for the Children's Cancer Foundation. It can be for any social organizations that you believe in.

Sometimes, in the midst of our busy working schedule, I feel that it is important to be reminded of..... the things that really matters in life.... the bigger things in life.

And I feel that....this is one of them.

So!

I am of course here to spread awareness for this particular event that I am participating in, the Hair for Hope, organised by the Children's Cancer Foundation (ccf).

Would really like to call out to everyone to please donate generously (in support of me and daphne) for this event.

As to how..... this is where it gets abit tricky.

Due to my late decision to participate in this event, I was not able to register myself in the ccf website. The website allows people to donate online via credit card.

However, please do still visit the Children's Cancer Foundation website and you can either donate through the general donation website, or you can look for Daphne Yuan in the website and donate through her.

Basically, Daphne agreed to share her online pledge with me!! So please donate through her and leave a message if you wish, to inform me that you have responded to my calling.....

hahahahaha....

I would also be given Pledge Cards soon where you can donate to me directly. So pleasee... dont be shyyy... hahaha..... come harrass me if you would like to donate!

thank you so much.

=)

ps: and oh.. by the way...Hair for Hope 2007 is happening on 1 July 2007 (Sunday) at Velocity@Novena Square. So... if you would like to be there to witness it. COME! *grin*

what did i do to deserve this...

heehhehe...

i left all my troubles in the office, and went to Manila, Philippines, for training.

5days-4nites in total.

it was a much needed break to be honest. and i am very glad that i got to go!

took Singapore Airlines for the first time man! hehehee... and seriously.. didnt think i was missing anything. I mean... heard so much about Singapore Airlines and how great it is. i guess... they are all the same. Although..... the only thing that i am still very much impressed with is the wide range of tv channels that they have. maaan... my day got even better when i got to watch 。。

两百磅美女！！！！！！

been wanting to watch that korean show soooooo much! but i missed it in the movies. and yaaaay that i got to watch it on the plane. was very haaaappy ...!!!!hahahaha..

Aniwae! it was definitely a damn cool experience going to Manila on a "business" trip! hahaha.. still cant help putting the "" on the word business. cos maaaan.... it was very fuuuun!!

and.. i felt like a successful career woman already. travelling around on my own. hahaha.. it was so exciting!

aniwae! some interesting food!

went to a Philippine food buffet. and i obviously was happily helping myself.

and they actually gave away soft toys for every ice tea you order.... wow.

and among all those mess of food....would just like to focus on....

CRISPY LEAF!!

check that out maaaaannn!!! like... a reaaaal leaf man!!! and it tasted good .... like...chips. hahahahaa...

and i realised that Philippinos looooooovee to eat....fatty pork! like seeeriously... dont think you can see from the picture. but there were layers and layers of crispy fats on that pork. I didnt even dare to eat.

and this is a famous dessert! called..."halo halo".

seriously.

during class....

met my comrades from IBM Indonesia.

she's so funny.and i am still feeling so good about being able to converse with her in comprehensible Bahasa Indonesia. ahahhaha...i'm goood man.

some of my hilarious coursemates!

all such posers...

funny face!!!

hehehehehehh

Group photo on the last day of the training!

Comprising of malaysians, indonesians, thai, vietnamese, Indian, half-sporean (me) and the Philippinos!

ahahhahahahaha..

my attempt to make everyone do funny face (even the Philippines manager) ahahahha.. but apparently.. only some responded to my call...

still better than nothing! kekeke..

the non-philippinos!

last picture taking before we all went back to our own countries.

candid shot by the shangri-la staff tired of waiting for us.
