cutie pie!

OMG i saw him running around when i went over to chary's place, SO CUTE! he's 3 months old and the most adorable thing i've seen *geram* could only get a few clear shots, he was being extremely curious & running around...tsk tsk ^_______^

fun in the sun!

went to the beach with the boys after my interview & intensive 'training' session with JellyBabey *thanx, darling!* it was a very happy day for me coz i got my Nikon SLR D60 *woohoo~~~* and I GOT THE JOB! thanx mum& dad *hugs* and thanx hazel, for believing in me XD...and thank God for planning such a beautiful day for me~

a trip to see the lion

was in the lion city a couple of weeks back, just to have a short holiday *kuching can be a bit dull after a while* it was SUPPOSED to be an educational trip coz i marked all the interesting buildings & sites just to update myself in the world of architecture...BUT i ended up going to so many places unrelated to work...hehehe

went to Bugis Junction for some street shopping ;) bought tops n a dress at bugis street n when we were walking back i saw the sign Malay Street n checked that out. it used to be a real road before it was closed off, air conditioned & became a street mall of sorts. it's really bright n sunny yet cool at the same time, i loved it! n the stalls are really cute, it's just a great place to hangout on a saturday afternoon~


















































mum & i stayed with Aunty Mei Ling since she knew all the great places to eat & shop =D apparently she stays in a more upscale community in singapore coz i thought all the condos look like hers but turns out most people stay in HDB flats *government subsidised property* n her place was build by a private developer. the architect did a great job with the landscape, water features are placed all around the condo compound n they have a pagoda for small gatherings & 3 teppanyaki stations next to the pool together with gym & jacuzzi!...but i forgot to take pics inside her unit...hehe...oh, in the 2nd pic is the showhouse unit with a spa at the top of the building n really modern, sleek furniture. it's for sale for S$1.8million *_____*




































headed over to Night Safari with a family friend, it was pretty much the same as when i had been there a few years back. except now they have a fire dance thingy by the Thumbuakar tribe from the forests of Borneo...which apparently includes a ngajat dance by Orang Ulu & Iban dancers *??!!* so weird...i did manage to take a *very blurred* picture of pink flamingos during the tram ride, hope u can see it >.<


































there's more pics but i'm a bit lazy now~ hope u guys enjoyed looking at the pics ^____^

decisions, DECISIONS...

in sort of a dilemma now...
see, holidays are coming up in april n airfares are SUPER low...
the thing is, where should i go?
there's greg&karen in KL, but i already have a ticket to KL in july...
there's elaine in KK, but she might be busy...
there's always singapore, but someone doesn't have a passport...

...sigh...
and the sucky thing is that these are the only places my parents would allow me to go on my own
-______-

it's been awhile...

ahh...i've lost my mood to blog about stuff nowadays, prefer reading other people's blogs...quite interesting though, get to read about hair curlers, expensive restaurants, being a mom, a degree student, a business woman of sorts, a young one in love...

the stories of life, eh? -_______-

v'day is coming up, not exactly looking forward to it...will be working *wtf?!?!*

till the next one...

-love story-

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.

I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you please don't go...
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, please don't go-
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.

flood, flood, FLOOD!!!

found out the area near my house *actually, the alternative route to my place* is FLOODED!
the house i used to stay in got filled with water up to the knees T___________T
so people, stay away from Stapok Road *the one that connects to green road* because SkyGarden, Star Garden & Dream Garden is flooded =(

my kampung is flooded too, though not very serious. only a few houses on the lower areas were affected. thank God babei's house wasn't affected *his house is on top of a hill* and it became sort of a refugee camp...hehehe...parents & other relatives went to kampung today to send food to the victims, the youngest of whom is a 3-month old baby boy *awwww~~~*

hope all the flood victims are strong and calm in getting through their situation. i flipped through the Almanac & guess what? King Tides are expected throughout the year *the beginning & middle of every month*

***

on a lighter note, went to Sushi King with chary & grace today ;) at first was at KFC but there was so many people there we decided to move location. Sushi King is currently having a
japanese curry promotion *drool~*



i tried the soup curry rice, it was yummy!!! y'all should head there & try it out. chary wasn't very happy coz they ran out of sake *salmon sushi, i think* but grace had her agedashi fix & was a happy camper
^.^

at the end of the day =D

just got home from work, another night shift T_______T so tired!
it's been fun working,
i learn something not a lot of people get to learn...
the art of making coffee *yummy~*
i'm not exactly going to be a barista, but i still get to learn lah ^.^

had lunch with chary & jeff today at s'wak club,
saw a promotion on pilates class on the notice board
hrm...really interested to join, since i need SOME form of exercise *hehehe*
well, it's either pilates or aquarobics *aquarobics, seriously???*
probably will start next week, have to try & get tuesdays off then
*.*

i'm counting down the days to CNY coz cass is coming back *super yay!!!*
that means lotsa catching up, lotsa drinking & prolly lotsa eating
*hahahaha, gluttons*
not forgetting the singapore trip after that
*hope gaji come out by then*
my shopping list is getting longer & longer man!

gotta turn in,
morning shift tomorrow
-_-

welcome, 2009!

celebrated 1st of january at kampung for ''buka pegong'' which basically means draining of the fish pond =) my dad's family had a little gathering & barbeque at ''camp david'', hehehe...i'm lazy to explain everything but here are some shots i took from the car on the way...we used jalan puncak borneo to get to camp david but on the way back we used the mundai road that connects to the kuching-serian highway...it's about 45minutes drive from kuching but the road is smooth & it was an enjoyable ride!

long road...and it's hilly =) breathtaking tho~

the ghetto bridge, which is actually sinking a little bit =/

so many cars!

dividing the fish

fish~~~

corn ;) it was so sweet & buttery!!!

the mundai road

there's a pepper farm on top of the hill

the mundai road is like a snake, seriously!

every trip back to kampung i feel really serene & calm in the car =) it's really green and the sky is always bright *except on rainy days lah* and that 45 minutes just let's you escape to another world. i'm really glad i still have a village to go to ^.^
