Went Genting for Pandas' Christmas Trip.

First time ever.

Love all the games, fun and laughter.

The food, the company, the surprise they had for me.

So pandas 姐妹們, thanks so much! This trip alone is enough.

If you girls didnt organise this trip, i guessed I will just spend the day normally too.
So yup, this is the best present you girls could ever give. Appreciate it! Love ya all =D

Actually besides all the major events in 2009, I am glad to say I've met many new people, through work and trips. People come and go. You will meet new people but you should remember and keep the old. So I am grateful I still have all my dearest - hl & sl, pandas, chris+hm+sit+val, poly clique. And everyday's work has been pretty okay thanks to all the nicey colleagues I have met. Many have left for better futures and I guess I should be doing the same soon.

2009 has been a test for me to learn to be as thrifty as possible.

I know many would say that spending on trips is already not thrifty but well, everyone holds different value towards everything so who has the right to say where should one spend. So long as I work hard for every single penny I spent.

It was tough but I've seen the good in this world.

My friends and few colleagues have been really sweet and nice to me in one way or another.

I hold all these dearly.

Thanks, for being my pillars! =D

Let's wave goodbye to the year before and step bravely into the year ahead!

Haven't been blogging for so long.
It's already 2010.
Lots to update, lots to organise.
I'm back to repeat the same thing: I need to get an organiser!
Without an organiser I feel like my life is in a mess. Haha.
The minus of being too dependent on a planner.
Gonna source for one once my pay is in!

Watched Taiwan's Countdown online with my sis on new year's eve.
So happy to see Mayday and Leehom's performances.
Happier than seeing the expensive fireworks. Haha.
What makes me happiest is seeing 怪獸and leehom standing on the same stage, side by side!
Leehom looked abit too skinny, perhaps coz of his busy schedule for upcoming movie <<大兵小將>> but 怪獸 looked real good, haha.
Like what my sis said, 怪獸在力宏旁邊﹐一點也不輸給力宏.
Totally agree =D

This must be a good year coz there's a brilliant start!
Entering into a brand new year with 2 of my beloved idols, what more could I ask (^_^)

Okie, I'm getting lazy.
This month will be a busy month filled with work and meet ups.
Shall update everything when I really have the time.
*Looking forward to the dinner tomorrow =)

after so long

I'm finally blogging my recent taiwan trip with my sis. haha.

So it has been... 13days since I am back. Woa!

Actually I also duno where to start from, shall just name some of the places ba.

Day 01:

Taoyuan Airport. Reached there in the evening. The first advertisement i saw was this:

Closer view:

Dearest leehom. Followed by fei lun hai (another corner of the airport), jolin(also within the airport area) and yang cheng lin (西門捷運站). 真不愧是台灣!

After searching for the Fei Gou transport bus and our hotel (despite being dropped off infront of it. It's on 7th floor but we couldnt find the stairs to go up -_-") , we finally arrived here:

Our cosy hotel room. The place i missed most. Surfing through all tv channels (from 20+ all the way till 60+), enjoying the aircon~

After settling down, we walked ard Xi Men Ding. First dinner there. Haha.

That's like singapore's roti prata but it's called 葱抓饼.

Been busy settling our boards for Mayday's concert the next day. Cut and paste till 3plus am then head to bed. But anyway, the board turned out pretty okae so yup, kind of worth it.

Day 02, Day 04 and Day 05: Taipei Arena.

Woo!

Packed. Sea of blue =)

Was abit taken aback by their concert culture there. Being used to standing throughout the whole concert, my sis and i remained standing during their slow tempo songs but someone behind us actually tapped me and asked if we could sit down (in a polite tone). We sat down but was finding it weird. Haha. However towards the middle of concert more fans began standing so we just joined in. Maybe it's coz of guai shou's ‘主团十年﹐竟然让我看到有人一开始就坐着’

Super funny!~

And that's the booths set up for concert merchandise as well as Stay Real products (so much more happening as compared to here).

They even have a store set up. Packed as well. Stay Real must have attracted lots of business. Haha.

Heights that we have conquered during the trip:

Taipei 101

The speed of the lift is indeed impressive. Can feel the pressure in my ears..

Taiwan's Flyer

Beautiful scenery but the height really freaked me out. Totally din move an inch till my legs were firmly on the ground again. Phew~ hahaha

Taipei Arena (Level 3)

I told my sis we were being cursed. First we went up the flyer, then we got such a high up seat for Mayday's concert. Took us some time to get used to being there. But apparently, halfway through the concert, we were already standing and shouting ^_^

Been to some places but it was either closed down for reconstruction (like the theme park where Mayday shot their mv <<你不是真正的快乐>>) or closed for the day (an ice-cream store in ashin's hometown). So we shall save those for our next trip or something.

I'm getting lazy so shall just skip many details.

Overall the trip has been really good! The people there were very helpful and nice to us!

Met a few mayday fans who chat with us knowing we went all the way from sg =)

The uncle who brought us to our hotel lift (he was just giving pamphlets nearby).

The high school guy who told us where to get the train tickets back to Taipei (even asking us to hurry coz the next train would reach in 10mins' time. Else we would probably have to wait till next day or something for the next train).

The aunty who told us not to head to one of the places on our itinerary coz it probably would be raining heavily over there.

The guy in the convenience store who offered suggestions to 2 hungry souls (just back from Mayday concert. hee) searching for nice food.

Thanks to them! And thanks to many other taiwanese, we made it to the places we wanted to go and made it back to the hotel every night. Haha.

Some snapshots of my precious:

Gloomy~ + exaggerating leopard print wallet (wonder when will i dare to use it =x but it's nice lah)

Some nice instax photos we took over there:

=)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here's my daily to-do list:

Been keeping record for jas, rf and jp coz they passed me some money to help them get stuffs over there.

Luckily they din ask me to refund them money coz they dont like the stuffs =D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last but not least, our most treasured:

Been wanting to show these to jp the moment we took the pics! Haha.

If u noe wad's Stay Real and who's Ashin(阿信) and No2good (不二良), then u should noe who he is.

He's no2good, one of the boss of Stay Real. Haha!

He was there at Stay Real's booth on the first day of concert and we even went up to him to place an order for the tees, who noes he replied that the booth is just for display, for purchase we would have to proceed to the Backstage store -_-"

To think i even tried saying out the names of the tees before approaching him coz the names were in chinese....

Anyway, the pics were taken after concert. We saw a few other fans taking photos with him so we decided to go up to see if he's willing to take photo with us.

The few fans over there were saying ‘好貼心喔’which we only came to realise why after reaching our hotel. Reason being mr.no2good actually bent his legs to accomodate our height.......

When we reached home after the trip, my sis actually read somewhere that taiwan tourism board were giving out free luggage tags (masa. guanyou. stone. ashin. monster. a set of luggage tags with their faces printed on each). We nearly got it, if we went up to ask them at the booth.

But it's okae coz at least we din miss out taking photo with mr.不二良 (thinking that not many get such chances) and, just days ago, my sis and i saw a few photos of mr.不二良 with other fans. Seems like many people were lucky as well huh. Haha! But nvm lah.. =D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All in all, still a satisfying trip (^_^)

Lastly, i wanna thank my biological sis and my other sis who made this trip possible for me! Without their help i might not be able to make it to Taipei at all.

And thanks to chris who offered to help.

I truly appreciate it! =)

new look =)

Changed my blogskin~ Finally finished combining those few photos taken during their DNA concerts in Sg. Lots of changes to be made but, let's wait till some other time. Gotta go slp coz I have to wake like 7am tml. Nites pple!

Just to update on my piggy sis's 20th bd. So glad that our plan succeeded (luckily she's easy to trick =P)

Met up with hm while sit and val sat inside Pizza Hut waiting for chris. After walking round the whole of vivo, we've finally reached Habour Front Centre's Pizza Hut!

Taken by sit and val. I find the photos look like those taken by a paparazzi. HAHA

Waited till chris joined us. Chat, eat, chat. Simple celebration, hopefully hm pig dont mind huh. Heh.

Anyway, just to add on, stupid val was trying not to appear on photographs (which gave us a hard time taking a proper group photo) so being nice, I have compiled ALL of her photos:

P.S. Don't blame me val, who asked u to be so incooperative =P

Okie, let's meet up again!

Take good care esp. Chris who was sick and Sit who is preparing for her papers!

Woo... it's the end of April, end of another month again. When am i ever going to change my blogging habits? This is bad.. haha. Oh well, been working more and more recently. Sometimes i love working cause there's something for me to kill time with (in a meaningful way like serving nice customers) yet at times i wish i have all the time in the world to do my own stuffs. Oh well, who doesn't feel the way i feel. Haha.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides working, I have been spending my time meeting up with friends.

Seoul garden trip with poly clique:

22nd April - Bd celebration for dearest siewling:

It's been a year or so since we last met up. Was reminded of the days i often dropped by her house to use her laptop, the times we went for movies and the times she came by my previous workplace.
Went for 'Confession of Shopaholic' at vivo, i love the show.. haha. The guy is charming heh. After movie, went for sushi tei at ngee ann city. Deserts after dinner =D Hope sl had a good time! Happy 20th bd again sis!

27th April - Pandas 5th Anniversary:

Met up with dearest laoda rf and lao mei jp, window-shopped for hours and finally dearest jikok and xiano reached! Haha. Went Bakerzin for dinner, not too bad a place but i think we would be trying some other places another time huh. Heh.

Love the card xiano made (shall pardon her lateness for this), the card jikok wrote and simply love the presence of the four pandas jie mei =D

Felt guilty coz i was so budget that i couldnt get them a better anniversary gift. Anyway gals, there's another surprise for u gals.. duno if any of u have discovered or not but well, check this -> http://pandaz-.blogspot.com/ out and i hope u gals will find it okae =)

Another proper meetup soon! Happy Anniversary once again!~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some movies coming up - the long awaited Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!

Also, the 'Angels and Demons'.. So looking forward (^_^)

Another one i caught sight was 'Ghosts of the Girlfriend Past' or something like that.. seems interesting. Haha. What a month for movies!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May will also be the month of graduation. Officially graduated. Have to think of what to do in the future.. Part-time cum freelance? Full-time? =x

Once again, blogging after disappearing for so long.

FYP over, waiting for Graduation Ceremony.
Been slacking and working...

Went back to CTS with jp sis on Monday.

Finally collected the carnival tics from Mr. Tan K.C.

The new art room seems spacious.. miss the good old days rushing art works!

Jp and I went strolling round the school.

The familiar 'Macdonald tables', 'pigeon holes', basketball court, field... brings so much memories back. Quite an unfamiliar place too.. the new teachers, the new buildings...

AH! We saw Mr. Chiang teaching inside the science lab! And he scared us by shouting 'hi!' just as Jp and I walked past. Not much chance to talk to him as he didnt seem to have any intention to leave his seat and chat with us. Haha.

And yea.. Jp was kinda disappointed coz we didnt get to see E.t.. so Jikok and Xiano, next time it's your responsibility to find him so Jp can have a good look at him k! =D

Subway lunch and hanging out in library after this CTS trip.

Finally paid for the library loan =x there's like so many genres of books to choose from..heavenly =) but hmm... i fell asleep while Jp was being hardworking! HAH.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okie, so I have been watching some anime and drama (not the Korean F4 hm is currently crazy over =P) titled...

NODAME CANTABILE

Though it's not exactly new but well, I find it nice!

That kind of inspirational yet funny storyline Japanese likes to film.

Yup, that's all for now.

Shall return to my drama =P

Take care pple~
