You know you are tired... or VERY tired... When you are sleeping at 7pm till... the next day.
Yupz... That's what I did last evening. Reached home at 6plus in the evening, and I dozed off while playing my FF9 on PSP. All the way till 8plus when TT called me and asked me something about giving me Jellys I think... Then I got up and off the lights and KO-ed till 6am today. =)
My 小猪头衔还真是实至名归...
I am once again the 无敌铁金刚today... 冲啊!!

[A Long Random List]
29th June 2009
I love 29th June… This is an indication that MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING!! And this is usually the time where I’ll post up a Birthday Wish List… This year, there will be no exception; below are a few items which I’ve been bio-ing. But since they are err… not every cheap, so I welcome Ang Baos many many… A new Sony Camera... wtf, they do not have Pearl White Cameras anymore... =(And a New Wallet to match my Bag... Its high time my Yellow LV Epi retire.
25th July 2009
This is going to be such a Busy Day!! I booked a BBQ Pit @ ECP on this faithful day to have a small gathering with my Friends. Just a few groups of close friends, to kick start my Birthday Celebration. Most should have already received the invitation; kindly RSVP as soon as possible as I need to have a rough headcount for the food catering.
I was still contemplating on whether I should prepare the Food myself for the fun of it; or to order direct from Caterer to save all the trouble. But problems all solved yesterday!! As I received a wedding invite from a Friend… He will be having his Solemnization on the 25th July in the afternoon. Congratulations Justin!! I’ve yet to meet the Bride, but I’m sure she must be a nice lady… =)
So 25th July will be a busy day. Got to wake up early in the morning, doll myself up and attend the Solemnization with TT, then rush home with TT to change and prepare for the BBQ in the evening…
Hair
I… colored my hair! A very very Dark Brown, which is like… Black. It’s been ages since my hair is so Dark. But I like it! I guess as the age goes older, we go more back to the basic.
FF9
FF9 will stands for Final Fantasy 9. This is 2000 game; I have played it when I was still in Poly… But my memory card got corrupted and hence I played till Disc 3. My Baby Brother recently downloaded the game into my PSP… Hence I am super hooked on it. So much that I have stopped my drama-marathon and is spending all my time playing it.
I currently started Disc 3, and have spent 26 hours on it… =)
Bestie’s Birthday
Not much has been updated on Bestie’s Birthday I know… Reasons as below:-
a) I was busy with FF9
b) My camera broke down when I was in Bangkok
c) Sick hence creative juice not flowing
But still… I want to do a general recap.
It started off with a Pre-birthday celebration @ Bangkok (speaking of which, Part 2 will be coming out shortly; I will do a 3rd attempt in updating). Then despite still being very sick, I headed down to Mambo @ Zouk on the eve of her Birthday for a Birthday Bash… We were seriously very out-of-place there; so we headed back to Dragonfly @ St James on the Saturday for a 2nd Birthday Bash. I was at a Family Chalet before that and had to rush a cab down for my Darling’s Birthday Bash… I was late in joining and when I arrived, the girls were already pretty high. A little hid-cup there, but well… things will work out eventually. And come to think of it, how to not get high when we finished off a Shutter of Tiger, a Bucket of Heineken and 3 Jugs of vodka. And… to end off her Birthday Celebration we continue the tradition of having a Brunch on a Sunday. But unfortunately, the alcohol got the better of us… All of us could not wake up in time for Brunch – so we ended up with Lunch at our favorite Ramen @ Cuppage, Movie @ PS and then Dinner @ Cartel…
This year marks the 19th year I have known Bestie… 19 long years. How many 19 years can one have? And I am indeed fortunate to have met her, befriend her and walk down the path with her thus far. The past 1 year has been a turbulent one for us, but we manage to walk through the storm and still going on strong.
Happy Birthday Darling!
Health
After catching that Flu from Bangkok, I rested at home (okie… minus off that Mambo @ Zouk, Dragonfly @ St James and a Full Day Outing @ Orchard) for 1 full week. I came back office on the Thursday, but all my colleagues shun away from me in fear that I caught the dreadful Flu; my Bosses all said my face looks pale and asked me to take the rest of the day off and go back rest. I felt terrible… the Flu is making me lethargic and ill physically, the rejection from the people in office makes me felt horrible emotionally.
Soulfly… sms me at that very moment and asked if I am feeling better; I asked him if he is free. And what happened next is he came down to office to pick me up and sent me back. He is in his Number 4; his having Reservist. So meaning he came all the way down from Jalan Kayu to Tampines to pick me up just to send me back to Hougang. Very not on the way; but he sway lah… Who asked him to sms me.
I felt terrible and I cried all the way home… You have no idea how much pressure I am under. I constantly remind myself that I have caught nothing but a regular Flu like what Bestie has told me. But people around me kept telling me it just MIGHT be that dreadful Flu. I have to juggle with those 2 schools of thoughts and it is very emotionally tormenting.
I felt very lonely and vulnerable; I cannot accept more sympathy from Soulfly and had shut my life from him totally once again. I now realized how important health is to me and will from now take good care of myself; I also realized I still need and yearn for a Someone to be beside me.
And its time for lunch… =) More updates next time round.
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
You know you are having a very suay day when:-
a) The Bangkok Trip Part 2 was updated, but just when it is published there is a network error and all the updates disappear into the millions of wires in the world wide web.
b) The Bangkok Trip Part 2 was updated a 2nd time the following day... And at the concluding sentance, I accidentally selected ALL and deleted ALL.
So... I've updated my Bangkok Trip Part 2 TWICE, but lost both. =(
I still got Bestie's Birthday Celebration to update among other little happenings... So till then, have a fantastic weekend ahead yar...

I have uploaded all the photos in Facebook; but as a matter of formality in recording little memories in my life here... I still got to post this up. =)
Bangkok Trip with Bestie (12th - 15th June)
It has been a rather busy week for me... I was on leave on 12th itself... And its only then I found chance to start packing my luggage. Hipopo sitting on top of the luggage with his new friend, a little orange Hipopotamus Uncle XDD bought for me...
Wonderful weather... 蓝蓝的天,白白的云,青青的树,美美的我。。;P
Waiting for Bestie's Brother - Big Cher to come pick me up.
Big Cher came... and went to pick Bestie up at Orchard Road (she's on half day...) and we have to make a quick rush down to Airport...
Taking Cathay again... Err... not to Hongkong thou, thats for August. This flight transit at Bangkok...
A rather empty Airport... The whole enthusism of taking a flight dies on me... =( I guess it must be coz I travelled a little too much lately...
Me and Bestie...
Bestie's very pretty colorful shoes... This is the first and last picture of her very pretty shoes - it die-ed in Bangkok... It cannot take the walking.. =( And my gold gold shoes, bought in Hongkong... =)
Waiting for take-off....
Us again... =)
I have always love in-flight meals... and Cathay have always served me yummy food. My only complain is... no ice-cream.
And we're reaching.... See the plane reflection on the ground??
My first time in the new Bangkok Airport... it is indeed huge. The walk to the custom is damn far...
We waited in-line at this taxi queue and hop onto this big maxi cab... It cost us only 400baht to get to the Hotel. On their expressway... Traffic was rather good all the way, even when we reached down-town.
This is the Hotel that we stayed in... Vie Hotel. It is new and stands out in its surrounding building, just like a rose in the midst of Greens. It is a new, modern and well-maintained building. It is very strategically-located, right opposite Asia Hotel, a mare 2 minutes walk from the BTS. The services are great, I had a wonderful stay there... Definitely will recommand to all. =) The welcome drink is yummy! Thou I got no idea what is it...
And this is the room that I'll be spending the next 4 nights with Bestie... Very spacious and clean, and it got a big toilet. The lay-out is similar to the one I stayed in KL, think all 4-stars Hotels are like that...
Hipopo looking out of the window, getting moody and ignoring me when I told him he is not following me out... My sling Prada is so small, how to bring him out... And I dont want to risk losing him...
And this little fellow... conjouring all the rain clouds. But nothing can stop me and Bestie from exploring the down, not even the storm! Despite being so nottie, Hipopo is so cute in this 2 photos, I love Him to bits and pieces... =)
Me and Bestie taking photo in the lift... the big rain will not deter us from getting into action.
But the rain is really big... so we waited in the Lounge while the Hotel people tried to get us a cab...
The rain is so big; so we seek shelter at MBK... Bestie bought me Ice-cream to cheer me up... Prior to departure, I was in a super gloomy state... =( And btw... DT promised me Ice-cream when I'm back.. I've yet to claim it from him...
And before we start our shopping, we got to fuel ourselves up.. Dont see Bestie 瘦瘦一支骨, she really can eat ALOT!! And she is constantly hungry...
Since its a rainy day... best time to have Steamboat... My fav. =) This is a rather unique concept... All the food are placed on a conveyor belt; so you just take what ever you like and cook in it the individual pot placed on front of you. The variety is nothing to boost about, and they limit us to finish our food withing 1hr 15min. But for 199baht++, we cant complain much right... =) MBK doesnt look interesting; so we took a cab down to Suan Lum Night Market... This is a big market.. selling plenty of things ranging from clothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, ornaments and many others... It is SO warm. But nevertheless, we started out shopping here. =)
Weather is hot and humid... I was all sticky after we cleared 1 section. So we stopped for a drink... Yupz, not hard to guess... Sprite for me and Beer for Bestie. :p
Shortly after... we took a cab back to the Hotel. As our Hotel is tooo new, the cabby does not know his way around... During the negociation time, he actually drove up front to not block traffic, and his wheels went right over Bestie's very colorful shoes... right over her 5 toes. :x But we counted when we got back to the Hotel... there are still 5 toes around. That is not the end of our night... Bestie is hungry and we walked out for some 牛肉面... Its the Road Side Store, so well... I did what I did best: Sit and Stare... Keke, no Road Side Food for me, stomach not good. =) So.. This is what I got from Day 1... Hipopo still not very happy and he said he wanted that Dress. (As if he can wear like that... =_=)
So... it is a very long day. After much coaxing, Hipopo is finally in a better mood.. I tucked him into bed and I fall asleep soon after. =)
Check out the Hotel a little more before we start out day proper... The pool is the edge-less type... Pretty when you see if from this angle, but as I look back to the pool from the BTS... the sight is truly disgusting.. Imagine a body floating just like that in the middle of nowhere... =_=
Bestie buying the BTS ticket... Travelling with Bestie is 幸福的... I simply tag along with nothing to worry and vex... I know I am in good hands and good fun.
We made our way to the famous Erawan Shine... Heard from Bestie its really very 灵...
Got a little hungry... stop by for some Doughnuts. I Love Doughnuts... especially the casturd ones. With the doughnut, we shopped at this Departmental Store @ Zen... They have this very big Sanrio Corner (bigger then the one at Takashimaya) and I went a little berserk. I spent like an hour there, and walk away with 4 My Melody Bento Boxes and a matching Lunch Pourch... Xin is a Happy Girl~~*
And its time for Food again~~* This is ermm.. some steamboat look-alike-thing. Just that instead of stock, they serve plain water... Only towards the meal, out turned the plain water into our own version of 上汤... But nevertheless, the meat is fresh...
Very full and satisfied... We walked a short distance and we reached Platinum Mall. This is a whole-sale shopping centre and I really went mad. This is where I did most of my shopping - everyting (and its really EVERYTHING) is going at 100 - 350 baht.
The interior is not fanciful... But it is fully air-conditioned; so I have no complains about that.
We only manage to cover... the 1st 3 storeys. I was REALLY very tired and we stopped for Ice-cream break. =) Yummy Swensons... This place close early.. around 7pm. So after the Ice-cream break, we went back for some last minute purchases... Then we stopped at the Directory; I was just telling Bestie we did not miss out much as Level 6 are Banks, and Level 5 and 4 are Bags and... shoes. I stunned for a moment here - that's a magic word: 'Shoes'. So we quickly made our way up to Level 4 and 5... All the shops are closing, I am under immerse pressure... But Bestie still manage to walk away with new shoes.. =)
This is our combine Loot for the day from Platinum Mall...
Very very tired... we drag ourselves back to the Shopping Centre. We proceed to the Supermaket there, and once again... we went a little out of control. The photo isnt exactly clear right... Coz from here on, my camera is going down... =( We... didnt have time for dinner, and all the shops were closing... So we pack Japanese Food back to the Hotel. Very pathetic... there are no proper tables we could used, we ended up spreading everything on the floor and eat right in front of the Television...
And... this is my purchases on Day 2. =)
From here on... my camera went died. =( There are still Day 3 & 4; I've got some photos taken from Bestie's Camera Phone... But just wait till I get it from her...
But... sigh... I really miss my camera. =(
