IT'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE ~~

2011-07-05T23:02:00.006+08:00

first and foremost,

i wanna bid goodbye to my beloved 棉花唐 (aka Cotton Candy)..
perhaps he is now living in another happier place and won't feel anymore pain.

棉花唐 passed away on 04JUL2011 due to a cancerous lump.
He is my favourite hamster among all that i have before.

He's very tame..
and has the most innocent face when u hold it in your hand..
it will not move when u stroke its back.
*hais..*

MOVING ON...

i got two new members in my family yesterday!!!

THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTEEEE!!!!!

*beware! the following pictures may cause CUTENESS OVERLOAD*

Now...

Let me introduce...

KIU MOR (aka Curly hair) the lady ~

and 小白脸 (aka Little White Face) the man ~

they are the new COUPLE!
aren't they cute?!
They are now 3 weeks old!

turkey bacon happen to snap this photo when bringing them back home..

小白脸 : MUACKS! i love u.
Kiu Mor : I love u too.. :)

Today is the 2nd day at my house.
I hope they are adapting well to the new environment.

I heard that they can live up to 8 years.
I really pray they will stay healthy and perhaps breed more 小白脸-Kiu Mor babies.
HAHAHA!!

I'm still pretty new to handling Guinea pigs.. and that explains the reason why i felt really amazed when i first heard them whistle !!
SO ADORABLE!~!~!~~!

I didn't know they are so tame compared to hamsters.
It's like when u hold them in your hand,
they will just stay there quietly and let u mess up their hair or whatever you want!
Unlike hamsters, they will just run around non-stop and shit alot on ur hands. T_T

If any readers out there reading this blog post now,
please leave some comments on this post if you have any good tips in taking care of them yeah?

APPRECIATE THEM MUCH! :D

you may also wanna refer to their album here!
MY GUINEA PIGS ALBUM

ANYEONG HASAEYO! Let's go KOREA!

2011-06-18T20:54:00.010+08:00

Sorry for the lack of posts..
been rather busy recently.
feeling a bit lazy too.
hahaha!!

Went to Korea on 12th June,
it's SUMMER time!

Summer = suitable clothings for Singapore too!

Let me introduce some of the places i've not been before during my previous trips.

Firstly,
we took the cruise to Wolmido Island.
On the cruise, we are able to feed the seagulls with prawn crackers.
All you need to do is wait for them fly closer to you, then throw the prawn cracker into the air,
and you will be able to see them catch the cracker and eat it.

Then....
it is the ICE GALLERY.
over there,
my passengers need to DIY their own ice glass.
So, this is the person in charge who will teach them the basics to carve out their glass.

And then,
they will need to squeeze their creative juices out from the brains to think how to carve out a nice ice glass so that they can pour orange juice to drink out of the glass they made themselves.

So this is how it will look like!

and that's not all.
they need to compete among themselves to see whose glass is the best one.
they will be given medals for the top 3 ice glasses!

After this, we will walk to the basement and experience walking into a 1 degrees celsius walk-in fridge to view more ice carvings..

This is ice computer ..
and also got ice toilet bowl..
If only Singapore has this kinda Ice Bar in pubs or clubs..
it will be SO COOL!!!

We also went to Jeongdongjin Train Station.
This is the station that appears on the Guinness Book OF World Records that the station is the closest to the sea.
And this picture is taken by the photographer who is in our group.

This is him, he's Jimmy, a very nice chap! :)

Of cos, we will definitely take the whole group to try on the Korean traditional costumes and take pictures.
Check out this granny in my group.
She is very sporty!
she insists on putting them on to take pictures!
look at her!
We also went to Teddy Bear Farm.

If you've been to Jeju Island's Teddy Bear Museum,
it's actually pretty similar.

You may see the rest of the pictures in the album below:
CLICK HERE : Korea Photos

Didn't take much pictures for this trip because most of the places we go to are shopping areas.
Not much of scenery.
I'm lucky cos i met a nice guide, nice photographer, a playful driver and a group of nice customers.

I wonder where i will be heading next! :p

YOKOSO JAPAN!

2011-05-24T23:12:00.008+08:00

i'm away last week from 16th to 21st May.

So where am i?

YES!!

I'M IN JAPAN!!!

the recent 311 incident in japan has caused a lot of people from entering Japan already.
However,
the recovery rate for them is very fast!

Well,
I've witnessed it myself already!

Everything is as per normal,
everybody is still leading their lives as per normal.
Food is still yummy,
shopping areas still as crowded.
(but definitely not as crowded and as many tourists as before lah..)

Look on the bright side of life!

With not so much of tourists now,
it is the best time to take great pictures without many "extra faces" in the photo.
Right?!

Well,
This trip i must say..

IT IS EXTREMELY FUN!!!

Because i went with my aunty and many other colleagues.

Taking pictures together,
shopped together,
go for naked onsen baths together,
gather in one hotel room, drink and chat all night long together..

I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF!!

now,
say no more.

Because....

PICTURES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!!!!

first,
let's take a look at the first ray of light i saw onboard flight when heading to Osaka.
I'm so excited till i couldn't sleep at all.

beautiful isn't it?

We are also lucky to bump into some Geisha around Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple.

then..
we headed to Osaka Castle.
but i spotted an unusual guest that day..

YES!!
it's an Iguana!

and oh!
did u spot what Mr Iguana is wearing?
No?

The japanese are indeed very brand conscious..
even Mr Iguana is wearing ...
ADIDAS!!!!!

Don't play play ah!

After much persuasion from the owner,
i agreed to hold Mr Iguana in my hands.

"HAI! CHIZU!~"

Hahahaha!!

Then, when we arrived at Tojinbo,
my cravings for Japan Scallops is back again!

So i brought my aunty to try their corn as well as the scallop.

Just look at my scallops..!

mmmmmmm~~~
OISHI!!

If you haven't been to Japan,
I MUST TELL YOU..
the girls over there..
they dressed VERY VERY NICELY to go out.
even if they are only working as a normal salesgirl.
These 2 girls are not the most beautiful one. this is consider the lower standards one ok!
cos the babes are mostly spotted in Shibuya and other more crowded areas.
they are like more "high class" thus refused to let me take a picture of them.
*sighs*

Do you know,
after the 311 incident..
lesser and lesser tourist visit japan and when we arrived there,
the hotel staff brought a banner out to welcome us!
we maciam VIP sia ~

And now,
the main highlights of this trip is here..

Going up to...

TATEYAMA ALPINE IN JAPAN!!!

It's 1 degrees celsius up there!
the ice wall is 15m high that day..
the highest it can go is about 18m to 20m when it is the coldest.

and yup,
like i said..
not much tourists around..
we have all the space and time to cam whore!!!

we saw Mount Fuji..

We had a feast at the onsen resort..

We went to pluck strawberries..
we were also
SUPER SUPER LUCKY TO SEE CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!!
by right cherry blossoms in central japan should only be seen around end march to mid april.

and now,
the next picture is the few of us playing around.. :p

WE CAN FLY!!

So remember,
if you wish to visit Japan,
it is the best chance to go NOW!
why?
while it's still cheap
while it's still more "spacious" to take pictures of urself and no one else in there.

the Make-Over Hello Kitty welcomes you too!

Angry Bird Craze!

2011-04-30T19:44:00.004+08:00

once upon a time...

there lives a green pig who has fetish over bird eggs..

Bird Boss super pissed off with him and comes out to confront him one day..

i think the green pig not scared of him..

the fight goes on and on for many many decades..
passed down generation after generation..

*100 years later*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

And they lived happily every after.

HAHAAHHAAHA!!!

Ok lah,
those small ones and the pig are gifts for my turkey bacon.

Because of all these Angry Birds,
the thought of having them as my new set of nail arts popped into my mind.

and so...
I DID.

my left hand..

and my right hand..

heart-shaped leopard spots for my toes!

Cute or not?

I've recieved a lot of surprised stares when they saw something familiar on my fingers which also lives in their mobile phone too.
Hahahaha!!

I've got a lot of people asking me where i do it and very interested to make the same too.

For more details, please call Nail Studio at +65-65344855 for more details.

Happy Birthday to Me 2011.

2011-04-20T22:51:00.006+08:00

16th April..

another year older..

this time round, on the actual day itself, i have to work due to a travel fair falls on the same day.
so no choice, have to celebrate birthday early.

This year,
had some new faces to celebrate this day with me..

thanks to those who turned up :
1) my love - Alvin
2) Kangwei
3) Kate
4) Joanne
5) Yc`
6) Jingwen

turkey bacon knows i love the Banana Chocolate Cake from "Awfully Chocolate" so he went all the way down to Vivo to order it and rushed down to Park Mall and waited for me.

Was really happy when alot of people working in Fish & Co sang birthday song for me.

LOOKIE !!
THEY BOUGHT ANGRY BIRD FOR ME ! :D

kawaii right?

i knew they couldn't resist the cuteness so they went to buy almost the whole family =x

It was really an enjoyable night.
Thanks everyone who make it happened!

went to watch Hall Pass (M18 show) after our dinner.
according to Jingwen,
the show has some disturbing scenes.
cos according to Kate,
the show has a crooked "kuku" appearing in the middle of nowhere SUDDENLY!

AND FOR YOUR INFO...

Jingwen screamed when she saw it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Since Fanny's birthday is the day we need to attend the saleskit briefing,
and my birthday is the travel fair day itself,

both of us went to celebrate our belated birthday and exchange presents.

You may not believe it..
but then MAYBE,
i am just saying MAYBE..

Perhaps both of us are April babies..
we actually went to buy our gifts
AT THE SAME PLACE,
SAME SHOP,
at almost the SAME TIME,
but we didn't bumped into each other.

When we finally met each other at at MacDonalds,
we laughed at each other cos both of us are hold to the same shopping bag.
Hahahahaha!!

Thank you fanny for the nice eeyore pillow :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL APRIL BABIES!!!

In the month of April...

2011-04-09T19:32:00.003+08:00

I've decided to go for something colorful for my nails in April make me it more cheerful and lively.

So check out my new sets of nail arts!

and my toes!

a lot of people (including my customers) commented that my fingernails looks very cute. and got one also said that it reminds her of the mushrooms in super mario game. LOL!

MOVING ON...

my leave got rejected.
*sighs*

Felt disappointed of cos!
i've even though of what to buy, where to go in Taiwan already.
But then..
oh well.
*pouts*

Even though April is the birthday month,
i don't feel that everything is smooth.
Take for example the leave application.

So to cheer myself up a bit,
i bought myself a Canon Selphy Photo Printer!
Now i can print photos as and when i like if i find the photo nice~
*GRINS FROM EAR TO EAR!*

Oh!
I've also signed up for a Japanese language class together with Sessaline!

Party at Marina Bay Sands!

2011-03-29T23:46:00.008+08:00

28th March 2011

The whole of Asia Department went to party at Marina Bay Sands.
We were very lucky to get a free upgrade to Marina Suite Room!!!

We're all staying at level 51.

The day and night view from Sky Park Infinity Pool is totally different.
Personally, i preferred the night one.
the view is really breath taking and AWESOME!

the picture isn't 100% clear due to strong winds blowing causing us not able to hold our camera very still.

Took a lot of pictures there.
Am now gonna show you guys some :D

This is the pool table in our suite room. :D

The day view of the Infinity Pool.

And now look at the night view.

I love this picture taken during the night.
i also like this picture which is using the self countdown timer function from the camera placed on the bench at the Sky Park.

And this is the view taken from inside the room..

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD~!!!
we actually prepared a BIKINI cake for JooFun as she is leaving us to work in Maldives soon.
Wishing her all the best :)

For group photos..
This is the only one that i love most!

ALL THE BABES IN ASIA DEPARTMENT!!!

That night,
We played pool..

and we even have our own lucky draw session!

There is only a total of 20 prizes to be won.
But there is 21 of us!
and the first prize is actually $150 cash!
(sponsored by our Manager Reshel)

So..
We've come up with this idea that..
the person who didn't manage to get any prize..
WILL

BOWL
OF
BEE HOON!!!!!!!

and guess what?

WITH A PINCH OF SALT!!!

Made reservations there and luckily there are seats available for the 15 of us.
Ate there cos the place feels cosy and once you enter the place,
it makes u feel like u just walked into a fairytale ..

Our Step Mum joined us for dinner.
See?

She's also heart ached over the fact that our 6mth old babies are leaving us already..
HAHAHAHAH!!

I felt kinda happy and sad at the same time.
Happy cos of the happy + funny moments we shared even though is just a short 6 months.

Sad cos our quiet office will no longer filled with those kids laughter already.

The 4 of them made cards for everyone of us.
and they actually formed a
"RESHEL FAN CLUB"

See?
so cute right?

They made it themselves. Haha!!

Most of us recieved a card from them!
all made by Crystal ! :D
and this is..
ASIA 1 TEAM!

I am proud to work with all of you! :D

This funny girl Hilda,
drew me in my new hairstyle on her card.

she even drew my eyelash extensions on!
HAHAHAHA!!!

She made a card out of a coaster!

and the words..
made me laugh like one silly woman too.

my "student" Crystal made me a card too.

she knows that i liked purple (i think) so she made a purple one.

the words she wrote to me.
i smiled and almost teared when i read this.
:(
Lastly,
Our group photo.. :)

To Crystal, Hilda, WenHong and Crosby..
Grow up liao, wings more stiff liao.
Must flap your wings and fly up high..
Hope all of you will be successful in life..
(don't fly too high and forget to fly back office visit your "dads and mums" ok?)

*smiles*

15 inches !!

2011-03-05T22:04:00.003+08:00

do u noe what i mean by 15 inches?

nope..
it's not 15 inches finger nails..
it's not 15 inches giant sausage..
it's not 15 inch long penis.

IT IS THIS !!!!!

yup..
i chopped off 15 inches of my hair that has followed me for 13 years.

cutting them off didn't make me consider for a very long time.
it just comes so naturally to my mind then maybe i should have a change.

this hair has been through with me together a lot of ups and downs..
2 major break ups.
and i thought chopping them off is like cutting off all the bad memories away..
and start collecting happy ones.

At first the hair stylist thought i am joking with him.
before he actually cut them off,
he put his scissors to my shoulder area and said..
"U sure or not? i count to 3 ah.. count to 3 really will cut liao leh! cut liao then cannot save back liao wor.. 1.... 2.... 3!!!"
*snap*

haha!

alot of people say i look better with short hair.
well, i am not too sure myself.
cos everyone around me says i look younger this way,
look more fresh..
look more cheerful..
EXCEPT
for alvin.
he is the only one who says,
"ok lor."

Well,
i don't know.

I really feel guys are really damn dumb and stupid.
giving them chance but they don't seem to treasure it.
if they wanna play with words then fine!
i will play along.

It's like,
if you really want something so badly,
then be more persistent and go after it.
Isn't that always the case?
KAO!

it's not smooth sailing.

2011-02-28T21:59:00.010+08:00

Will you be surprise if my previous post is about how happy me and Alvin were celebrating early Valentine's Day and this post is about us separated?

Yup,
our relationship is kinda..
on the rocks.

so right now..
i initiated a so called break up.

perhaps this is also a "cooling" period for the both of us.
depending on whether he still will come look for me or not.

if during this cooling period he thinks i am not worth for him to look for me or contact me again,
or if happen that he managed to find someone better,
or during this period of time he realise he simply cannot tolerate my demanding and bad temper anymore..
and wants this cooling period to be forever..
i'm fine.
really.

I feel glad when one of my primary school classmate saw my facebook status changed to "single" and sent me an sms asking me if i am alright.

I'm glad i had her as a friend.

When i had problems with my ex-husband,
she is also the one who will be concern about what's going on around me.
Even though we are not those close close friends who will meet up every single day to go out shopping and things like that..
but i am still happy when she is still concern about my life.
At least this small little action will let me know that i still have someone there for me to fall on if i have no one to turn to.

I won't go in detail what happened between the two of us ..
I just hope everything will be fine and things still goes on.
Life still has to move on.

**CONTINUED**

I didn't blog about my latest Central Japan trip because there is nothing happy to blog about.

Just like this post title..
"It's not smooth sailing"
AT ALL!!

I hate this couple in the group.
who claims to be my boss's friend.

But which friend will help to promote other company's product and downgrade your own?
I don't think that is what a friend should do.

They request and expect the dumbest things on earth!

It's like you're paying for baby shrimps but expect to eat LOBSTERS!

The wife has the weirdest dress sense !! Fancy a 40++ woman dressing till so orh-biang.
Even my daughter also don't dare to wear like how she does.

Let me try my very best to describe to you.

She wears a flowery printed dress which looks like a pyjamus.
and a cone shaped snow cap which is multi color striped in pattern.

and the best part is the FOOT WEAR!
just look at it!

Now, just looking at the combination,
i don't need to show anymore pictures and you can imagine how she looks in the above dressing descriptions.
She wears like this everyday!

BAH!

don't want to talk about him liao.
makes my heart boil again.

It is the strawberry season. So we went to a strawberry farm to pluck our own strawberries!

Took a panoramic view of the place.

the strawberries..
LOOK!

Haha!
Happy plucking!

This time round, i thought i should try visiting DisneySea since i've been to Tokyo DisneyLand during my previous trip.
But felt a little disappointed after that cos it didn't turn out to be as nice compared to DisneyLand.

But nevertheless,
I had fun taking pictures everywhere with my new camera.

Love this picture taken with Mr Goofy. He taught me to pose this way with my hand placed at my waist just like him.

Hahaha!

The weather is really changing drastically over the years.
When i was there,
it should be already ending of winter but..
it turn out to have HEAVY SNOW!

everyone has to carry umbrellas to shelter themselves from the falling snow..

look at those on my umbrella.

and overnight..
it turned the whole place white..
all the houses..
the roofs are like cakes with thick layers of icing..

and even those that stands tall .. as high as me..

You may look at the full album here.
ALBUM 1 / ALBUM 2 / ALBUM 3

Oh,
If you happen to go Tokyo Disney one day,
remember to check out their popcorns..!

They carry the weirdest flavors of popcorns that you will never be able to think of.
Heard of Curry popcorn or Black Pepper popcorn?

They are just 2 of them. still more for you to try there :)

Valentine's Day with A Pinch Of Salt !!

2011-02-12T23:28:00.008+08:00

it's only 12th Feb but i have to celebrate the Valentine's Day with my turkey bacon already due to the fact that i won't be in Singapore on the actual day itself.

Before this,
I've come across my friend's blog who posted about this place - With A Pinch Of Salt

the review from her is quite good and i heard the portions is big too.
so i went to google about it.

it's being reviewed on Lady Iron Chef's website and i've decided to call up to make a reservation for a table that night in case it's full or something..

And so..
Here we are!at table 3 :p

The interior is rather cozy..
the place is not very big.
it feels like a place more catered for family with children and that is why the whole decor seems pretty colorful and cute!

but most importantly,
the food prices are
VERY VERY AFFORDABLE!

I had a hard time choosing what to eat for my main course..

cos everything looks and sounds delicious to me!
then ..
i finally set my eyes on..

THE JUMBO CHICK'S LEG!!

SEE?
i told u it's affordable!
it's only $11.90 ~
LOOK at that DAMN PORTION!!

it's big ok?
and FUCK SWENSENS from now on! i am very sure i will go back to With A Pinch Of Salt to try other dishes again!

And oh,
if you want some starters,
maybe u can also try this Potato Munchkins!
$8.90 only ~
it's quite tasty u noe? :)

my boy ordered Mr Salmon Grilled for only $15.90

then..
here comes the BEST PART!!

DESSERTS ~~~!!

Will update again when i am back! :)

CNY = Chinese New Year

2011-02-04T23:38:00.006+08:00

Chinese New Year..
it has become a very boring thing to celebrate for..
ever since my grandma passed away.
everyone is not as closely knit like how it used to be..
it's either they nv bother to come for house visits already..
or they just go overseas without informing..
and all sorts of other excuses u can think of just to avoid the holiday.

This year..
I chose this art for my nails to go with CNY!

i've always wished for a good camera that has functions and photo quality similar to DSLR's...
at the same time i do not want it to be big and bulky like those normal DSLR..
so this is the most ideal camera EVER!
it is really suitable for beginners like me.
easy to use and not so heavy!

I really like how it focus on the things in the picture..
See a few of them that i took with my NEX 5 below..

On my pets..

On food..

and on faces..

i will try to take more nice pictures to share with u all in future..
and i will definitely bring it along with me when i travel to other countries and capture beautiful scenery too!

i will be flying off to Central Japan again this coming 13th Feb..
which means i won't be able to celebrate valentines' day with turkey bacon on the actual day itself. :(
but not to worry!
will definitely spend some time with him on the 12th before i go.

love u darling!
MUACKS!

The annoyed Jocelyn.

I'm not in a very good mood.
Maybe it is also due to the time of the month?
*shrugs*

Money has always been a sensitive issue..
whether it is between friends.. family members.. or even ur another half.

I am a very soft hearted person.
I've got a lot of people around me.. telling me to pamper myself more..
WHY?
because i've always been spending my money on people that i love more than i spend money on myself.

Even if i do not have the money,
I will skip my meals very frequently..
to save up that few dollars slowly..
and buy things for them.

Some people also asked me.. "why wanna starve urself to get something for them?"
Frankly speaking..
I do not know also..
Maybe that's just.. Me?
I will reply them.. "Because they can't afford it and i love them."
I might even lie to them, afraid that they will scold me for being silly.. So i will say "Because i am not hungry" ..
But actually i am really hungry.

There are also times when they come to me for money..
Even though i've made plans for my salary like how i am going to use them to pay for my bills.. to settle my own stuffs and also to buy the things i need..
i will still be soft hearted.. and try to borrow around from my friends using my name just to help them out..

And at the end of the day.. what do i get?

If i am lucky,
they will return me.
Some return fast, some drag for many weeks, many months.. and some.. YEARS.

and there are definitely people.. who will only take my kindness for granted..
tries to act blur..
and take it that nothing happened and suddenly disappear.
and yeah,
my money will also disappear together with them.

There are many many many times that i am very angry with myself!
why must i be soft hearted to them?

But then..
When i've made up my mind..
to be very calculative towards everything..
It doesn't seem to look good on me.

I really do not know how to put it into words..

I just feel..
horrible inside.

Can someone teach me..
what to do?

When 1 + 1 isn't equals to 2.

2011-01-24T21:56:00.003+08:00

no matter where u work...
there is bound to be politics.

you will be surprised to see all sorts of people..
some are even not the kind that u will be able to imagine they existed.

It's quite upsetting one one company has to split into two separate cliques.
it is like North and South Korea.
and it is really tiring when only one side is trying to blend in so that everyone gets to know each other better..

Even some of the new people who just joined in can also tell that the whole place is not very united.
sometimes..
you just wish you belong to another place..
a place that is really closely knitted.

there are also times when u see alot of people who like things "selectively".
these liking most of the times.. also apply to humans.

I don't only mean superior only selectively treats a few better than others.
even among colleagues..
it really do happen!

I'm not trying to mean anything..
but that is just..
LIFE.

And it really bothers me..
when other people asked me..
"Why are you all not as close compared to others?"

Are we.. that difficult to get a long with?

What's in my mind..

2011-01-15T17:55:00.004+08:00

It has been a long long while since i last blogged out my thoughts.. my feelings..

Actually i am still quite angry about the complain email i sent to Focal Travel in regards to the issue that happened during my stay in Hongkong.
Angry because till now they still haven't reply me yet.
It has been 2 weeks since i returned back to Singapore.
I sent out the email and they received it on 6th Jan 2011 morning.
Till date is has been like 10 days?
Tell me,
is 10 days insufficient to "investigate" what actually happened or who is in the wrong for handling a booking until like tat?
is 10 days not enough to draft a reply to me to at least explain to me or let me know if they are gonna compensate my auto roaming charges?

*shakes head*

this incident, really let me realise that ...
They are not so perfect in Hongkong after all.

A few of my friends from primary school..
and some also from secondary school..
happen to ask me at about the same time..
"how have you been?"
"how's life for you?"
"how did you cope with the divorce with your ex husband?"
"Is everything smooth at work?"
"Like your current job?"

Well,
Frankly speaking..
I'm quite happy at where i am now.
At least ..
I feel that i am not short of anything.
and at least now i am capable to have some extra money to afford a really good holiday with my daughter.
at least i do not need to worry about that IDIOT'S bad debts outside and trying to think of ways to help him solve his problems or how to pay back.
and the current job is able to offer me more tour leading opportunities..
unlike the previous few companies which only give me like.. pathetic 2 trips in a year?
sometimes only ONE trip a year!
gosh~

nowadays it's low season already..
so we are able to knock off at 5pm on weekends!
tee hee hee ~

and just nice,
one of my secondary school classmate asked if we can meet up for dinner cos it has been don't know how many donkey years since we last met!!
she's a very nice girl..
never forgets to send me christmas cards every year..
and in 2010,
she sent me a christmas postcard all the way from Finland!
a place called Santa Claus Village because it has the one and only unique Santa Claus Post Office Stamp!
Let me show you!

SEE?!
so cute hor?!
*smiles*

It's her thoughts that counts.
Can't wait to meet them tomorrow.
i bet we will have lots to gossip about.
HAHAHA!

Complain email to Focal Travel

2011-01-06T21:20:00.003+08:00

Well well,
i did mention on my previous entry that today i will blog about an unhappy incident during my trip in Hongkong.
So now yeah,
i'm gonna let all my readers see my email content that i've sent over on 5th January.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

subject		7 DAYS TAIWAN + 2N HKG (DEP: 25TH DEC 2010) - REF : F0081916

Dear Sir/Mdm,

This is Li Xiangting who joined a tour package from Focal Travel. Kindly refer to the subjected package departed on 25th Dec 2010 which I am going to feedback an issue I've faced while I am in Hongkong.

Before I start, I would like to compliment the tour guide in Taiwan, Mr Liang, as well as the tour leader Mr Chia who has made lots of effort to fulfill everyone's needs. It is an enjoyable trip in Taiwan only. Please forward my thanks to them and keep up the good job!

On 31st Dec, bringing a happy mood to fly over to Hongkong and some of the fellow tour mates are already happily discussing what we should do to countdown in Hongkong for 2011 but upon boarding the tour bus in Hongkong, it is a 45 seater coach but there are no space to store all 31 passengers luggage. Therefore, some of us need to carry up our heavy big luggage to the seats in front. The Hongkong tour guide, Bryan started to introduce himself on the coach and asked if anyone wants to buy things from him and also asked about who will be going to the half day city tour the next day. I brought up to him that my daughter and myself will be going to Disneyland and he said he has no idea about it. He then asked if I will be going by myself and I definitely said no, because I've already purchased the Disney tickets as well as the transfers back in Singapore when booking with Focal Travel already. Bryan then said never mind, he will talk to me about it once we reach the hotel. Before we reach the hotel, he said on the bus that he wants to collect all the tipping first. Majority of the people do not have any small change and I only have 1 piece of HK$1000 + 2 pieces of HK$500. In the end, our tour leader told him to collect on the last day instead cos a lot of us do not have small change. He finally agreed.

After we reached Royal View Hotel, the bus didn't stop in front of the hotel entrance. The driver stopped up on the slope and all the passengers have to carry and drag all our bags down the slope which I feel it is very stupid. Why can't they drive to the doorstep of the hotel to unload the luggage and we will carry ourselves from there? There are a lot of families who bought a lot of things in Taiwan already and some of them even packed them into boxes and they are all very heavy! Like myself, I've 2 luggages to handle (one for myself and one is my daughter's) plus one more big box. I've to run up and down the slope 3 freaking times to carry down all the things. There is also one couple who had 2 luggages + 4 boxes with them. Can you imagine how inconvenient it is?

At the hotel lobby, Mr Chia called back to Singapore and checked with the operations Ms Alicea and confirmed that I really did purchased the Disneyland tickets with transfers and he also told Bryan about it. Bryan said ok and I thought it is settled but apparently I was wrong, I will tell you why in the next paragraph. I then checked with Bryan what time i should wait for the transfer to go Disney, he said SHOULD BE 9am and Mr Chia said, "Don't worry. The agent will leave a message in your room if you're out to confirm with you what time to meet at the lobby tomorrow." Upon hearing that, I went out with my daughter to the town area to have dinner and countdown already.

After the countdown, we got back to the hotel at about 1.30am. I tried to search on the floor in our room to see if there is any paper message left for me but I didn't see any. So I called the hotel front desk to check and confirmed there is no messages for me too. I then called up to Mr Chia's room and checked with him and he said SHOULD BE 9am since Bryan mentioned earlier, I said ok and went to bed shortly.

Waited 9am at the lobby the next morning as mentioned to me, waited and waited until 9.30am but there is no one in sight to pick me up. I decided to ring up Bryan's mobile phone to double check again. Please see below for the conversation :

Me : Hello Bryan, I still didn't see anyone here to pick me up to Disney yet.
Bryan : Oh, the person just called me. Please wait a while because there is some delay on the way as the driver is picking up other passengers from other hotels. He will reach in probably 10min time.
Me : Oh is it? Ok then.

I waited and waited again.. This time, it's 10am. It's more than 10min wait since 9.30am so I called up Bryan once more.

Me : Hey, I've been waiting here for the past 1 hour. There is still no one yet!
Bryan : Oh REALLY?! This is too much! Please give me your mobile number and i will call you in less than 5min time. Let me check with the person in charge and I will get back to you.

10.05am the person arrived. And guess what? It is not what is being mentioned from Bryan as "delay on the way to pick up other passengers" because if that is the case, it would have been a tour bus or mini van to pick me up with other passengers inside right? That guy is picking me up with a private car and his hair is those.. "just out of bed" kind of hair. So I really suspect he overslept!

Boarding his car, he made a phone call to this person called Jimmy. Then the driver wrote on a piece of paper and asked me to call Jimmy with my own mobile phone to him at this number : 94097376. He didn't want to start his car until i made that call first.
(I felt weird as in why he can't just pass his phone to me and let me talk to him directly but wants me to waste my auto roaming to call him instead?)

What triggered my anger is when Jimmy asked me to pay HK$500 per pax (total HK1000 for the 2 of us) for the disneyland when I thought everything is already settled and confirmed at the hotel lobby with Bryan after Mr Chia made a phone call to Alicea!!

Now look. I mentioned above that i only have 1 piece of HK$1000 + 2 pieces of HK$500, and after deducting the dinner and transportation fees the previous night, i am definitely left with less than that! So if they are collecting HK1000 from me, what am i suppose to do the whole day in disney without any money to eat my lunch and dinner as well as buying souvenirs?
IT IS EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING WHEN THERE IS NO ONE WORKING ON 1ST JAN 2011 IN SINGAPORE,NO ONE IS PICKING UP CALLS AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO SETTLE ANYTHING FOR ME!!

Luckily i am an ex-staff from Focal so I have contact numbers of some ex-colleagues who is still there. If I am a normal customer who doesn't know anything, wouldn't i be left stranded there feeling helpless when we are not given any Singapore emergency numbers to call if we meet any problems in a foreign land?

I managed to call and get hold of Ms Xie Huiling and told her what happened when i am standing at the entrance of Disneyland at 10.50am. She called me back like 4min later and tells me sorry cos she is not able to settle it and asked me to just pay them the money first and Focal will refund me back when i returned to Singapore. I also called Bryan again telling him that i will not pay a single cent because i've already made payments in Singapore already. And this guy Jimmy, he said to someone from his office by the name of Heidi in cantonese saying, "This woman DIE DIE also don't want to pay money." How rude is that?

See conversations below again :

Bryan : I've tried my best to help you already by making this arrangements because it's too last minute. Why don't you just pay him that money first? It is just a deposit. Once we confirmed the payment made to us from Singapore, I will definitely refund you the money tomorrow before you go back to Singapore at Hongkong Airport.
(by the way, I don't understand what he meant by "last minute" because I've made the payments to Focal so many weeks in advance so why is your operations not taking any actions to arrange a simple transportation and get my tickets ready with the Hongkong side?! why is it done LAST MINUTE?)
Me : Look, I only have that much of cash, I change the money here to spend and not to let you keep the money for a day then refund the Hongkong dollars back to me and let me take back to Singapore.
Bryan : Ok, why not you pay the deposit with Singapore Dollars instead?
Me : Wow, means if I do not have and Singapore Dollars to pay, I am not going to get into Disneyland right?
Bryan : *silent*
Me : Ok, looks like i am left with no choice. I am only agreeable to put SG$100 as deposit. Take it or leave it.
*pass the phone back to Jimmy*
Jimmy : Ok, you can pay with SGD first.

After he got hold of the money, while walking towards the ticket booth, he recieved a call in less than 5min, and then he pass the money back to me and said it is confirmed that i've made payments in Singapore.

In my mind was like WHAT THE HELL? Shouldn't you check properly instead of keep bugging me for money? If you've called and made proper checks I would not have to waste so much time outside and waste so much auto roaming calls.

Now, how are you going to explain this situation?

1) Time wasted. Waited at the lobby at 9am. Board the car at 10am. Reached Disneyland at 10.25am. Arguing about paying the money till 11.10am. Finally managed to get into Disney at 11.15am.
2) Unnecessary auto roaming calls made for this issue which i don't think it should happened.
3) the first day of 2011 happy mood totally ruined by this stupid problem due to your operation didn't liaise properly with the Hongkong land operators.

It should be a Happy New Year but it is not now. What a bad start for 1-1-11.

I wish to hear your reply soon. Hopefully not a reply from Liu Xiao Dan because I do not wish to speak to her.
Thank you for your time and attention to the above matter.

Regards,
Li Xiangting, Jocelyn

Christmas in Taiwan + Happy 2011 in Hongkong = Precious Moments with my Daugther

2011-01-05T18:55:00.007+08:00

This is the first time i bring my daughter out personally on a holiday.

This is also the first time she will be taking an aeroplane.
She's excited of cos!

You can tell from her face!

Let me share some pictures of the trip with you all..

it's us onboard on the plane.. :D

Surprisingly, we don't see Christmas decorations along the streets of Taiwan except for the hotel. Unlike Singapore, you will be able to see the Christmas lights along the city areas like Orchard Road.
Took a picture with a Christmas tree in the hotel that we stay in :)

I brought her to Taiwan to celebrate her birthday..
but i never thought the tour guide actually arranged a birthday cake during dinner time and all 31 passengers celebrated together for her.
How sweet :)

And this is also her first experience to stay overnight in a Farm.
Sitting at the grass field with her..

and feeding the sheeps..

she get to see little cute pony..

Hahaha!!

The first time taking a yacht to cruise in Sun Moon Lake..

and i also brought her to eat some famous yummy food in Taiwan!!
See this SUPER HILARIOUS banner in Taipei Xi Men Ding area..!
I doubt anyone in Singapore will dare to put up something like this!

Ah Chung Mee Sua is one of them!

on the 31st Dec 2010,
we took a flight from Taipei to Hongkong.
This is the first time i brought her to go countdown.
It is super crowded!
We tried on the MTR in Hongkong..

It's a fun experience!
We shopped a bit at the Ladies Street too. Hahaha!!

Then..

i'm really happy to see that she is enjoying herself.
I wish i will be able to bring her out at least once every year like tat,
that is if financial and time allows me to.

Check out my next blog post tomorrow which i will share with everyone regarding an email that i've sent last night to complain about the Hongkong tour operators who made my "supposedly happy trip" to be a "not so happy one".

There will be a tour leader but the person is not me!
*grins*
It will be my OWN HOLIDAY to celebrate Christmas with my little girl!!

This is the first time i brought my little girl to take a plane for a holiday.
I can also say that is will be a double celebrate..
Er...

Love you! :)

CAMBODIA - A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE

2010-12-18T21:43:00.007+08:00

Cambodia..

a whole new experience for me.
a very very humid and hot place.
made me sweat non-stop in Siem Reap.
Felt much better after arriving in Phnom Penh.

It is really an eye opener seeing one of the
World UNESCO Heritage Sight - Ang Kor Wat.
Climbing up and down the steps is not what i usually do in Singapore.
So getting muscle aches after one full day of walking and climbing is kinda normal.

Let me share some interesting pictures with you which i took during my 5 days stay in Cambodia..

We went to Ta Phrom Temple..
Just for your information, it is the Tomb Raider filming site. :)
Those trees are hundreds over years old..
they grew so big to the extent that they may crush down the whole ruins one day..
And now..
i went to one of the seven wonders of the world..
Ang Kor Wat.

Needs a lot of climbing there.
the carvings on the walls..
the whole view..
is beautiful.

Ang Kor Wat, according to my guide is a "smaller scale" one.

the bigger one is called Ang Kor Thom.
pretty much similar to Ang Kor Wat..

a lot of four face buddha statues there.

And now,
Let me show you this picture..
Please make a guess.. what the above picture is..
I will give you 10 seconds..

Still don't know??

ok, let me reveal the answer for you.

Now,
this is what it is when it is still ...
ALIVE!
YES!!!!!!!!
they are spiders!!
Tarantulas !

the picture above i asked you to guess are fried spiders which cambodians treat it as a form of snack like how we eat potato chips.

*pukes*

this is a place called "Spider Town"
you can google it, can be found easily.
a lot of tourists will make their way down there to take a look at it.

but this place is actually a rest stop for our 5 hours coach journey from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh..

They sell them to eat.
My guide told me, "small one Riel$2000, big one Riel$3000"
below is one picture which their customers squatting down to choose their own spiders ..
the people over there are actually very friendly and nice people.
if you're a tourist, you have to watch out.
they will come near you, trying to put one live spider on your body thinking that you might one to take a photo with it.
and one of my customers kena already..
but if you're afraid of them, you may want to tell them to stay away from you first.. HAHAHA!

the reason why they are not afraid of their poison is because they've already plucked out their teeth before selling it to people.
and it is pretty common to see them playing with it..
and now..
let's see if you know what the below picture is..
i give you another 10 seconds..

got an answer??

IT'S THEIR PUBLIC BUS!!!!

yup, singaporeans are very lucky compared to them.
don't complain even if you have to stand in the bus without a seat.
cos at least it is air conditioned!

In our itinerary,
we went to the Russian Market.
i happen to come across this interesting thing..
and i decided to buy it for my turkey bacon..
because he likes playing with poker cards.
and i don't remember seeing any of these in singapore before..
So i thought i should buy one for him as a christmas present! :D

The lady told me it is made of "horn and bone" but didn't state from which animal and stuffs..
and i didn't ask further..
pretty unique eh?
*smiles*

And one very beautiful picture i would like to share with all of you is..
a picture taken in Bakheng Hill.

We went to Bakheng Hill to see the sunset.
and i thought it will be nice to share this beautiful scene with everyone of you..

ENJOY!

CLASSIC HAMSTERS!

2010-12-11T14:21:00.000+08:00

when i first bought my pair of hamsters from Pet Lover Centre,

my daughter and i got so excited and quickly bring it home,
decorated their cage.

Seeing them running around so happily in their new home,
I couldn't help it but take pictures of them.
The most amazing part is,
the little fur ball knows how to stop and face my camera so that i can take a nice snap of it!

Hahahah!

down the road,
i come to realize that one of my friend Yc`` is actually selling stuffs for hamsters online!
and the best thing is he actually delivers the things that you ordered right to your doorstep with no extra charge!
(you can view the facebook profile HERE!)
the first thing in my mind was,
"WHOA! how convenient!"
the first order i made with him made me realize..
"TA MA DE.. stupid PET LOVER CENTRE stuffs are all selling so expensive! shouldn't have bought so many things from them. SHIT!"

i got a few more hamsters from Yc``
and now my house has 3 tanks of hamsters!
one more tank of roborovskis which i agreed to help Yc`` breed them.
When i saw his robos, i realised..
HEY! IT LOOK LIKE RATATOUILLE ~!!!

My own hamsters breed quite consistently and I really need to thank Yc`` for helping me sell away those baby hamsters. :)

Those hamsters are so adorable..
especially when they are just babies!

they sleep so soundly until they don't even know they are being kicked out of the house by its other sibling !!

i saw it, and decided to pick it up with my hand..
and...
IT IS STILL SOUND ASLEEP!!

haha!! cute isn't it?

it's just yesterday night that i pass the latest batch of baby hamsters to Yc``..

and now, exchange them for a new pair of cuties!
one Winter White and one Orange Pudding!

I named them 棉花唐 & 金枕头!
(it meant candy floss and golden pillow. LOL!)

Well, they somehow got this very amazing powers to calm my mind whenever i see how they took care of their little ones..
and how adorable they look when they sleep in some weird and funny positions..
they love to eat bean sprouts and even CARROTS!!

*giggles*

and oh oh !!!
did i tell you?

my hamster is ON TV !!
haha !

i'm still in the midst of packing my luggage..
will be flying off to Cambodia tomorrow morning.
hope everything will be smooth for me.
will update the next post with my 5 days Cambodia experience.
Ciaos!

irritating flight passengers..

2010-12-03T22:40:00.002+08:00

sometimes when u're travelling or taking a flight alone,
will you think or worry who will be the one sitting beside you?

will it be someone noisy?
will it be someone irritating?
will it be someone being a public nuisance?
will it be someone very troublesome?
or stuffs like tat..

well..
i've met a few inconsiderate ones already.

let's take my latest trip to korea for example.

it is during my flight returning back to singapore.
this indian fella..
he maciam nv take aeroplane before la!
he don't know how to find his seat.

i still remember very clearly i am sitting at 35C.
it is along the aisle, the one inside is the window seat which is 35A.

and this indian fella, is sitting at 34C, which makes his seat right in front of mine.
he walked in front of me and walk to 37 almost 38 to get the air stewardess to tell him where his seat is.
"Eh Eh Eh ! where is 34C?"
The malay stewardess pointed the seat to him and he turned around, walking towards my direction and pushed his way through when i was trying to put my bag into the cabinet on top of our seats.. ZZZZZ!!
HE NEVER BOTHER TO SAY EXCUSE ME OR WHAT LOR !!!

pushed his way through already .. he settle down at 34A. (yes, he took that window seat which doesn't belong to him)
he sat down, took out his handphone and started to dial and chat away with his friend.
in less than 5min, a korean walked in.
This korean is supposed to take 34A but this indian fella is sitting on it.
So he tapped lightly at his shoulder and said tat seat belongs to him.

the indian took out his boarding pass and pointed to the korean,
"My seat is 34C! what is wrong with you?"

the korean air stewardess walked over and said that 34C is the one outside and not the window seat.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

i was laughing in my heart when i see him shifting his butt over looking pissy ~
he shifted over and continued to chat on his phone.

the flight announcement then said that all electronic devices are suppose to switch off cos the flight is taking off soon.

tat indian fella is still chatting away,
yapping yapping and yapping!
super noisy..

the malay air stewardess walked over to that indian's direction.

stewardess : sir, please switch off your hp immediately, we are about to take off.
indian : *nods his head and continues his conversation but in a faster tone*
stewardess : sir, switch if off now, IT IS URGENT!
indian : *talking to the phone* ok ok ok bye bye bye bye bye! *toooot* -hp off-

i can imagine that malay stewardess walks off, she must have rolled her eyes upwards lah!
hahahahaha !!

you think this ended the story?

NO!!!!
that's not all..

when the steward walked over to serve some drinks..
the indian said, "what do you have?"

and so, the angelic looking korean stewardess slowly tells him roughly what is there.
then, the indian said.. "give me a cup of orange juice, one coke and one red wine"

one shot take 3 cups lor!
maciam scared he never drink enough will waste his ticket fare onboard.
*ROLLS EYES*

when the steward walked pass him once,
he ASK FOR REFILL SOME MORE LOR!!!!!!!

buay tahan him.

an hour later,
our meals is served.

there are 2 different menu onboard.

Option 1 : Beef + Rice
Option 2 : Chicken + Bake Potatoes

then.. this indian fella chose Option 2 (because he cannot take beef) whereas the korean guy sitting beside him chose Option 1.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENS?

this indian fella saw what the korean guy beside him is eating, he calls out for the stewardess who is like 6 seats away from him.
"EXCUSE ME MISS! EXCUSE MEEEEE MISSSS! HELLO HELLO~!"

the korean stewardess quickly ran over thinking what happened.

the indian fella said,
"can i have some rice please?"

the korea stewardess gave him a very puzzled look.
the malay stewardess came to the rescue!
she told the korean girl that she will handle him and eye signaling her to go away.

indian : i am asking if i can have some rice please.
malay : but sir, you chose chicken. it comes with potatoes.
indian : i noe, but now i just want rice only.
malay : sir, if u wan rice then i will have to bring the other set with the beef then inside will have the rice. you wan?
indian : you all never prepare just rice only? why mix them together? next time u all should prepare a bit of rice only in case people feels hungry again.

i almost choked on my food when i heard what he said!
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!

an hour passed again..
the air stewardess walked out to serve drinks for us.

this time..

indian : i wan cola and black label.
malay : sorry we don't serve black label here. if you wan i can give u red wine.
indian : *sighs* ok. then give me cola and 2 red wine.
malay : *looks as if she is cursing and swearing deep in her heart and pours the drinks for that idiot*

Have you met anyone worse than mine?
hahaha!!

FOLLOW ME TO KOREA !!!

2010-12-02T21:52:00.008+08:00

i had an early white christmas this year in korea!

this is the 2nd time i see falling snow.
but somehow,
this time round is a bit different.
it is heavy snow when i was in the ski resort.
compared the previous little snow for a few minutes in japan.

the snow made a thick layer covering the ground and ur shoes will just sink in when u're walking..

the snow in korea lasted for at least 6 good hours!
see for urself!
it's very very cold.
-9 degrees celsius there..

there's many souvenirs stores selling cute stuffs.
and i can't resist and i bought myself a uber cute leopard ear muffs!
SEE!!
hahahahaha ~

and i met a very hip MR SANTA in Everland!!

and and and... his "charlie angels" !! hahahahha ~
(i love this pic the most!)

i went to nami island.
the filming site for the korean drama "Winter Sonata"

there's alot of couples writing their love messages on the boards pinned around a tree.

and i wrote mine on it too :D

Saw a few trees still surviving with golden red maple leaves.
They are beautiful.
and one of the leave happen to drop and landed on my head.

is this consider good luck?
Hmmm...

When i went to Lotte World, i took a picture in front of the outdoor castle.
It felt as though i am already in Disneyland.

and do you know..
THERE ARE A LOT OF SHOPS SELLING SUPER CUTE AND NICE BOOTS?!!!

for your info..
the temptation..
got over me.
i bought one pair finally before going to the airport.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY PC DIED ON ME !!!!

and that is the reason why i have not update my blog for so freaking long!!!

then now, my pc is back up. all thanks to my turkey bacon.
however.. the sound settings are all screwed up.
can't hear shit on my headphones.
can't say shit on my microphone.
the sound that came out from my headphones is like alien speaking into my ears.
but the sound is all fine when it is through my main speakers.

ARGH!!!
*screams at high pitch*

ok.
i've got my next tour assignment to Korea.
will be departing on 23rd Nov. Kinda looking forward to it cos i've got a colleague there now and he says it is already SNOWING !!!!
gosh! the climate is really changing drastically.. now it's only beginning of november and it is already snowing.
I wonder if anyone manage to see any maple leaves since winter starts so early...
Hmm...

Anyway!
As usual..
i will go for my new set of nail arts every month.
and this month.. i designed my own fingernail arts and asked Fengmei to draw it for me.

SEE!!

She done a great job didn't she? :D

and i have colorful toes this month.

someone said they look like candies!

hahaha!!

And yeap.
Time really flies.
after a long long wait..
my turkey bacon finally returned to motherland after 90 days in Shanghai.

this is the first cam whore picture i took together with him at my home after 3mths being seperated! :D

damn ~ he now speaks a lot of words that only china men uses which i still can't accept it.

example number one..

Turning Left.
we said it as : 转左。
he now says it as : 左拐。

when i heard him saying that to the taxi driver.. i was like.. wtf?
i will never use tat word in my life. and in fact, if he nv said it, i don't even noe this word actually existed!!

ok. example number two!

any typical singaporean chinese.. when asking what you wanna drink.
he or she will 99% say it as : 要喝什么水?
he now says : 你要什么饮料?
which i will only use it when i am in taiwan.

*faints*

I AM STILL NOT USED TO IT!!

WELCOME TO TAIWAN!!

2010-10-11T20:09:00.010+08:00

Before going to Taiwan, i definitely have to go for my monthly manicure. Do a set of nice pretty nails before the departure.

I am kinda addicted to the corsets designs on my nails cos it looks simple and pretty on my nails.
LOOK!
aren't they sexy? :p

MOMMY !!
LOOKIE ~~
I have LV on my toes !!

ok, back to topic!

this time round, i didn't take as much pics compared to other trips like japan and vietnam because i've been to taiwan before quite a number of times.
Only took some pictures on some locations which i've never been yet.

There are a lot of first time visits in this trip to taiwan.
example, the farm stay.. Toilet Restaurant (my guide friend brought me there) and Aboriginal Cultural Village Theme Park.

I like this picture that i took in Sun Moon Lake.
Looks colorful and cute. :)

And one more is this..
taken in Yilan National Cultural Centre.
Saw a lot of teenagers writing their wishes and hang up there hoping for peace and good health for thier love ones..

Now let me introduce you to this very unique "Train Station" Restaurant, selling taiwan famous lunchboxes also known as 便当.

The outside of this restaurant is actually a Train.
you can actually buy the lunch box and sit outside to have your meal

or u can also choose to sit inside the train itself to eat it..

是很有FEEL 的咯~

and the next thing that i experienced for the first time in taiwan is making a wish with a "Heaven Lantern" also known as "天灯".

I'm considered lucky to be able to do this cos it is not included in our itinerary.
Our kind hearted guide wants us to have a memorable trip and he added it in for us at his own expenses so that we can make a wish with it.
Seeing everyone happily writing their wish on the lanterns, my guide told me to write mine on it too.
And so.. i did.
*smiles*
Now, everyone appointed 2 people to hold the paper lanterns to get ready to set them up high into the sky..~
They flew away very fast.. flew very high up into the sky..
This is also my first time visiting the Aboriginal Cultural Village Theme Park.

Took a cable car ride from Sun Moon Lake, and the view is breath taking..
Can you believe this is the view from my hotel room window?
Yes, it is facing directly in front of the Sun Moon Lake. Beautiful isn't it?
And oh.. the shower in this room looks weird..
SEE?

It looks like "The Claw" in the UFO Catcher Machine.
when i go in for a shower, it makes me feels like i am gonna be grabbed on the head like some plush toy by other pple.
*laughs*

Reaching the theme park, definitely can't miss out playing the rides!
This is the Waikiki Wave, i'm in there!!

i also took the super huge roller coaster which i didn't manage to take a picture of it cos it's too big. It's kinda similar to the one in Universal Studios Singapore. EXCITING!!

Oh, while walking to look for other rides, guess what i saw?
it's the Penis God!
It's like 1.5m tall. saw a few cute girls trying to pose beside it to take a picture but giggling away cos they are shy to do so. LOL

Some beautiful places you should go take some pictures in taiwan too..
one of them is Jiu Fen.
if you've been there before, you will be able to see a lady in a weird outfit selling sausages.
just stand in front of her and she will pose together with you for photo taking. :)

And another scenic place in Hua Lien is Taroko Gorge.

It is a very beautiful place, no words can describe how it feels when you're there.

i'm pretty happy cos i am able to form out some time to meet up with my taiwan guide friend when i travel back to taipei.

He brought me to one of the "Top 10 Must Visit Restaurant" -- Toilet Restaurant.

We ordered the Toilet Bowl No. 1 Ice Shavings for only NT100
(which is less than SGD$5) !!

Cos both of us have never been there and seeing it so cheap, we though it must be a small bowl or something that is why we ordered one for each of us.

To our shock..

THAT BOWL IS HUGE !!!
SEE ?!?!?!
IT'S BIGGER THAN MY FACE !!
hahahahaha ~

both of us didn't manage to finish it for sure.
but nevertheless, we had a real good chat over the "dessert".

Time to pack up and go home :)

Mummy, I LOVE YOU!

2010-09-22T23:07:00.004+08:00

This post isn't about words.
Cos the picture says it all.

Mummy,
i know i made you worry all the time.
i know i let you down.
i know i am not the capable enough to feed you and let you lead a comfortable life.
I'm sorry.

i wish you long life,
i wish stay healthy,
i wish you happy,
please stay strong,
you're the most beautiful mummy in the world.

MUMMY I LOVE YOU!
妈妈我爱你!

FRIEND

2010-09-20T22:48:00.003+08:00

"F-R-I-E-N-D"

What does this word mean to you?

To a child, "friend" is only a word.
But to a grown up, it is the meaning of the word that counts.

Recently, I've seen some ugly sides of people.
Ugly to the extent i am slowly shunning away from them.

I kinda envy many people who has close friends, true friends, soul mates etc..
All these, do not need to talk about the quantity..
Cos ONE is enough.

I have friends whom i was once close with..
but after a while, we drifted away.

The reason is pretty simple.

1. The longer you know that person, the more negative points you spotted on that person.
2. The longer you know that person, the more things you realise both of you are not able to come to terms with.

Actually there are many other things that will cause both parties who were once close.. to slowly break away from each other.

I, myself.. too.. am in this picture.

I was once close with a few people.
but only 1 or 2 still are good but weren't close due to family and work commitments.
But then when i need help, they will still be there for me.

And there are bound to be a few black sheeps out of that "few" people i am once close with.
and these black sheeps..
i drifted away from them..

WHY?

cos i've seen enough bad actions coming out from them.

to list a few of them..
hmmm...
where should i start?

we started off being close cos we have a few things in common.
we can "click"..
we have countless things to talk about..

but slowly, things turn sour.
maybe this kinda friendship also have expiry dates like food.
*shrugs*

maybe it takes time to show one person's true colors.

or maybe cos the fella is feeling erm.. *CENSORED*

Just like recently, i drifted away from someone whom i once called friend.
now thinking back, did i make the correct move by helping this person the other time.

Walking along a rocky road, fall down for the first time .. i would say this is cause you don't know that road is dangerous.
Knowing that it is dangerous, still wanna take the route and fell down the second time .. i would say this is careless and slipped.
Having fell down twice and STILL taking that dangerous path, falling down for the 3rd time.. I will say .. "SHE ASKED FOR IT"
and in chinese is called, 活该 ..

Alot of things happening and even the dumbest person can sense it.
a fox lying around the area will slowly make the whole place stinks.
which also means, the longer you stay in that area, the more person will see through you and loathe u.

On my personal point of view,
do things that will not go against your conscience.
If your conscience is clear, then why would people dislike you?
Think about it.

Whatever is yours, it will be yours.
If it's not, then it means it is not meant to be.

If you wanna own it, get it openly and graciously...
and not sneakily trying to put it into your own pocket to make it yours.
It will be as good as stealing.

Steal it and make it yours, make sure you don't get caught. :)

When the girls go out to play ~

2010-09-08T22:07:00.006+08:00

when the guys are not by our sides..
the girls have to find their own programs !

first of all...
we went for some clubbing session..
went down to DXO cos just nice Joanne celebrating her birthday there :)
took a photo with ah wei, yc` and joanne herself :)

Took this with candy when we're still having dinner before going to party ~other pictures we took inside DXO..

fanny, me, wuwu's fren, wuwu, victor, and medusa head candy!
the 3 cam whores !

booby grab!
fanny and me!
until we got bored.. we started to play with nostrils..
victor is also one of the victim!
and we ended up making monkey faces too..LOL!!
we had fun! :)

then..
on my off day..
6th Sep..
i brought my little girl and fanny to Universal Studios !!!

queuing to get in at the gate! :D

my little girl and her mummy :)
doesn't she look like me?
angel says this one looks like a family picture. haha!!
puss in the boots is cute !
he wants us to be like him too.. "meow~"
King Julien is very cheeky!
see what he did to fanny! LOL!!!
the cow girl !
it's shrek and fiona!! :D
this street dancers there.. their dance moves is cool. and the one in white cap is the YANDAO-EST! =x
MORT ! cutesie ~
Spent the whole day there.. until Angel was tired too.. had dinner before going back.
i'm glad she enjoyed herself.. took roller coaster rides together with her.
she loves the Mummy Ride most!
haha!

MOVING ON..

it's been more than 30 days since he flew to shanghai.
I'm glad he is leading a rather healthy lifestyle compared to the usual routine he had in singapore.
at least now i noe he is going to gym everyday there.
and feel proud of him when he managed to lose 7kg already
*smiles*
GAMBATEH!

another 52 days.. and he will be back le!
i will wait patiently de :)

BACKSTAB!

2010-09-01T22:47:00.003+08:00

it was a tiring long weekend.
yes.
it was natas fair.
and who says singaporean no money to travel?
look at the crowd !!!
and you will noe how rich they are..

OK!
back to topic.

Just about 1 week ago..
the image of one very wise looking person is ruined after i heard something about him.

initially i tot he will not do those things..
i tot he is not some two headed snake..
i tot he helped me out on his own will..
but who knows?
things didn't quite turn out that way..

somehow..
i feel..
being made use..
and betrayed.

no choice.
it's like what people always say..
when you're in debt of someone, you're at his mercy.
so yeah, i can't do anything about it.

at first..
i really look up to him.
i respect him, and now i still do.
cos he taught me a lot of things.

but now,
no comments.

MOVING ON...

有时候。。我在想。。
"人"
真的是一个那么复杂的动物吗?

为什么刚开始认识的人，可以一见面就很投缘。
可是一旦相处久了。。突然发现自己越来越讨厌对方。

there are also times when i find tat person..
erm..
how should i put it..
always want to compete in everything i do.

it's like,
if i have an apple,
she also wants to have one.
if i have company to go out with,
she will get angry if she is not asked along.

even outsiders tells me,
she turns a red eye when i recieve gifts and she doesn't.

weird isn't it?

Human thoughts..
sometimes i really wish to plant a worm into the human brains and see what they are really thinking..
which part of the mind is unbalance.

so don't get jealous. and don't feel envious of other people..
cos..
Whoever envies another confesses his/her superiority.

Dear Diary...

2010-08-23T23:50:00.005+08:00

It has been a while..

been a long time since i blog out my thoughts.

it's been for almost 3 weeks since he is there.
I'm glad he is adapting to the environment there pretty well.
if not for his aunty and a few friends there, i doubt he will be able to cope all by himself alone there in that foreign country where internet access to facebook and youtube and many other websites is not available.

the same goes for me.
if not for my own work, if not for the friends and colleagues,
i also don't know what to do to spend my time alone faster.

need to endure with this kinda lifestyle for another 2mth..
and it will all be back to what we used to be again.
GAMBATEH!!
*smiles*

Recently,
my daily routine will be work, eat, go home online and sleep.
other extra activities will be going for dinner with my colleagues before going home..
and maybe watch movies on weekdays..

But then for him, due to the fact that he is in a foreign country..
the people he know there is much limited compared to me.
so seeing me going out with colleagues to spend time, he will tink i am "enjoying" myself.
well, i don't blame him for thinking this way.
but then, what can i do when he is not here?
cry and sit at home rot for this full 3 months?

i must be crazy then.
or should i say i will go crazy?

oh well.
everyone complains.
that's life.

i'm off today.
went to jurong point for some shopping with fanny.
spent $190 for 2 pairs of jeans, 3 tops and 1 belt.

then head down to the cathay to catch a movie - Step Up 3.
there is nothing much on the storyline.
but i must say...
the dance moves are AWESOME!

MOVING ON...

last week..
fanny and i went to city hall to have dinner at Shokudo.
then, after eating..
there was this "neo print" machine.
we went to play with it to kill time.

we had fun trying to pose as fast as we can in that machine.
HAHAHAHAHA!!
see a few results below..

personally, i liked these two the best!

heehee~
it has been ages since i last took this.
and it's still fun!
turkey bacon never wanted to take one of these with me at all.
*pouts*

august has been a busy month in office.
even though it's low season,
all the travel fairs kept us all busy.

speaking of which,
NATAS fair will be up this coming weekend already..
27-29th Aug 2010..
the worst thing is..
IT IS AT EXPO!!

so freaking far lor.
zzzzz!

I hope august..
to be over soon.

CONTINUED..

i sense some favourism around me..
i don't quite like the feeling.
cos on my personal point of view,
due to this issue, everyone is not really fairly treated.

it's like..
only one person gets all the good stuffs.
or maybe..
two person did something wrong,
but only one gets penalised.

you get what i mean?

ok ok..
enough of my ranting..
i need to turn in to bed already..

I two-timed my Boyfriend.

2010-08-09T21:08:00.003+08:00

Yes..

YES!

YESHH!!!

he is now in shanghai..
and i met some other guy behind his back..

I know..
I am not suppose to do this..
I noe he will be angry and disappointed..

But now ..
me and the other guy just started..
so..
we're kinda like..
in the..
"honeymoon period"

and this will also mean..
HE IS VERY POSSESSIVE!!

yah, we just got started a few days ago..
somehow everything "sparked" on last friday..
I even requested my manager to let me go home early so that I can spend more time with the other guy..
erm.. did i miss out something?
it's actually not ONE guy..
but now i am seeing TWO behind my turkey bacon's back..

I know i know..
You must be cursing me right now..
saying that I'm a bitch and stuffs..

So right now..
I guess I have to show you the 2 new guys' picture and introduce them to you..

He is.. Mr Flu.

and this is Mr Cough.

Handsome aren't they?
Both of them get along very well..
they accompany me to sleep every night since last friday..
They follow me to work everyday..
but one thing they failed at is..
they didn't let me have a good night sleep.

Yeap!
that is how "STICKY" they are..
They blocked my nose..
and tickle my throat..
making it very difficult to get into deep sleep.

*takes a deep breath and SIGHS*

I wonder when then i will be able to break off with them..
What you think?

Leaving on a jet plane..

Weird Questions Customers Ask..

2010-07-15T22:30:00.002+08:00

I remember hearing someone told me ..
"it takes many different kinds of people to keep this earth turning."

but in my shoes..
i might wanna rephrase it to..
"it takes many funny and weird people to keep this earth turning."

I'M SERIOUS!!

in my line..
I've interact with many different kinds of people..

Of cos,
there are only a few kinds of people which will make you remember them forever.

1) The Funniest One.
2) The Weirdest One.
3) The Most Long Winded One.
4) The one Kindest to you.
5) The one Meanest to you.

Etc, etc, etc ...

I've been working since i'm 15.

I've worked as a sales assistant before.. as a cashier in a snookerium .. a few months as an admin staff (which i don't cut out for that job. I HATE PAPER WORK!) .. and now lastly.. i'm stuck in travel line.
*smiles*

So now..
I will try to think about a few of my customers who is the most suitable for the few categories that i've stated above.

So let's start with the other way round, counting down basis.

5) The Meanest One.

The meanest customer that i met is a guy erm.. let's name him Mr. "C". I think only my manager and a few of my colleagues will know his full name. Well, he is wheelchair bound. He is very boastful. He is very stubborn and can't get facts into his head. He is very proud cos he keeps boasting that he USED TO BE serve as the chairman of bla bla bla company and his wife is a full bright scholar or whatever shit and so on and so forth. Then he added one more sentence saying, "I don't think a lowly staff like you being insolent will be equally qualified to speak to me this way."
BUT! that is "USED TO BE".
Yeah, he typed all those in an email and trying to be hard on one of my team members.
He even mentioned to us that if we are not able to fulfill whichever that is stated in the email, we need to face the legal consequences and shits like that.
the most hilarious thing in the email is when he ask for the "FOOD MENU" being served throughout the trip that he will be going.
GOSH!!!
Can someone tickle me on my armpits and make me laugh please?!
I don't see how he can be served as a Chairman or being a husband of a Full bright Scholar to ask this kind of stupid nonsensical question?
It is either he has nothing better to do, or he never travel before.
Actually there is still a longer story to this fella, but i shall stop here before all of you gets turn off about him.

4) The one Kindest to you.

There are a few customers who are very kind to me.
For example, one customer whom i just led to Vietnam.
She is Alice.
One of her words touched me when she said,
"When i go into my hotel room, i feel a bit creepy .. and the first person i think of is you. Cos i worried you're sleeping alone and you will feel scared."
and that is not all..
she even rang to my room one night and asked nicely..
"Jocelyn, you sleeping already? If you can't sleep just call me ok? I will accompany you to chit chat."
SO SWEET RITE?!!!
*smiles*

Ok lah.. there are still a few more ..
but this post will be too wordy if i name out all of them.

3) The Most Long Winded One.

This award will have to go to people who are not able to make up their mind where they wish to go..
Then they will end up asking you the whole globe thinking that you're some Travel Encyclopedia.
Hogged you for 2hrs full of questions and ended up not booking anything definitely spoils your mood.

2) The Weirdest One.

Weird people are everywhere I must say.
They even asked the weirdest questions that you will never imagine!!
It's very easy to find one.
Today i've already met one.
He called and asked..
"Er.. I ask you ah.. Vietnam now is it got a lot of mosquito now? How many ah? Really a lot ah?"
i was like.. WTF?
did I hear wrongly or did he really ask me HOW MANY MOSQUITOES are there in Vietnam?
GOSH !!
So now i know.. the next tour lead i need to buy some mosquito detector to calculate how many exactly are there.
Another question i've come across is..
"Eh, Miss ah. I go this Taiwan package hor.. I should bring my own panties or bring the disposable underwear ah?"
Geeez!!
That is your own hygiene stuffs! How i know which one suits you better wor.. -___-"

And lastly..

1) The Funniest One.

So .. let me show you the exact scenario.
Read it and tell me how will you react to this question.. see if you will react like how i do or not. :p

Malay Uncle : EH GIRL! I ASK U AH ~ Aeroplane inside, GOT AIRCON OR NOT AH?!

Stunned me : Erm.. Uncle.. You think the air stewardess will let you open the windows then blow the clouds ah?

Malay Uncle : Alamak ~!! How i know sial? Bus also got AIRCON and NON-AIRCON what..

Me : Eh, Uncle uncle!! I ask you ah. The bus can fly or not?

Malay Uncle become speechless and walks out of the door.

and i'm being nominated to get this Excellent Service Award.

Of cos i'm feeling happy about it, if you ask me.
This is my first time getting this award.
for first timers,
they call it the Silver Award.

the 2nd year you recieve it is call Gold Award.

Lastly, it will follow by Star Award.

Had fun among ourselves!

To end this entry,
I would like to thank all the customers who take thier precious time to send the email to my company for feedbacks and compliments. All your compliments have been a great encouragement to me and it definitely brightens up my day!

If not for you, I wouldn't recieve this award.
I will jiayou de!
*smiles*

Divorce.

2010-07-01T23:05:00.003+08:00

it feels like it only happened 3 weeks ago.
but guess what?
3 years passed.
yeap, it passed just like that.

the long wait has finally come.
waited the separation to be full 3 years before we can file for a divorce.

15th June 2010.
Full 3 years.

i went to file for it.

before it happen, i was pretty lost actually.
I don't know where to start and i don't know what to do or what i SHOULD do.
went to the previous lawyer who did our seperation deed cos i feel more comfortable to engage with someone who already know what happened rather than explaining the whole situation all over again.

well, money paid to the lawyer is easy.
but the whole process isn't.

it didn't turn out to be what i expected.
i thought everything will come to a final stop but who knows everything will be so draggy..

the lawyer told me that everything will take about 5 to 6 months before a divorce is complete.
(that is IF everything is smooth with no hiccups in between)

a lot of paper work needs to be done..
have to attend court hearing if needed..
gotta sign this and that ...
bla bla bla..

just so much things.

*takes a deep breath and lets out a big sigh*

come to think of it..

if this 3 years pass by so quickly..
it would also mean i haven't seen my little boy for almost 2 years already..

i missed him actually.

but..

i didn't want to see him.

i feel scared to see him to be frank.

i'm afraid i will cry when i see him..
i'm afraid he can't recognise me when he sees me..
i'm afraid he won't let me go if he recognises me..
i'm afraid he won't hold my hand when i reach out for him..
i'm afraid i won't let him go when i have him in my arms..

i'm afraid of many things..
can't really find a suitable word to describe this kinda feeling..

the last picture i have with my little boy together with my little girl..

i wonder how tall is he now..
i wonder how smart he is now..
i wonder if he behaves well at home..
i wonder how he perform in school..
i wonder what is his favourite food..
i wonder what he loves to do..
i wonder ..
i wonder..
i wonder..
i really wonder.. if he still remembers me..

*tears rolls down my cheeks*

Welcome to Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh!

2010-06-25T20:50:00.009+08:00

i just came back from the wet and hot Ho Chi Minh City 2 days ago.

Well, first of all..
Tiger Airways..

The first step into the airport..
How should i put it..
hahaha!! feels so..
erm...
Different.
LOL!!

It wasn't what i expect it to be.
I was at a lost for a short moment ..
How should I put it?
It's like..
I don't know where to start with.
Hahahaha!!!

Oh well, if you haven't take Tiger Airways,
or should i say..
haven't been to the budget terminal before..
you should go take a look.
it is totally different from terminals 1, 2 & 3.

even their boarding pass is just a piece of red color paper..

Ok, back to topic. Ho Chi Minh.

It is hot.
a little hotter than Singapore.

Look at what the sun over there did to my skin!
Now having so many tones..

my manager even tease me by saying i have nice transparent sandals.
*pouts*

and due to the fact that it's still rainy season in June..
the rain is really unpredictable.
everyone in Ho Chi Minh City will carry umbrellas wherever they go,
even ponchos.
they are really handy.

The rain is really unpredictable!!

it can be sunny at this moment..
but in less than 1min, it will be heavy downpour!
and the rain will not last longer than 10min.
usually it is just 3 to 5min.

the rain seems to want to make us all wet,
and when it knows it gotten us wet already,
it is satisfied then it will go.
Hahaha!!

Actually.. I didn't take much pictures of myself for this trip.
Cos it is too hot and sticky..
will not look good being like that.

So i will only upload a few of them here :p

Taking the Cyclo ride the bees at the fruit orchard area. they are so scary!! check out her long hair !! it's almost touching the floor liao loh~ taking a picture with the vietnam beautiful ladies :p taking a sampan boat ride in the secluded canals near the fruit orchard.
everyone needs to put on the cone hat so that the low lying tree leaves will not hit your face. My Vietnam tour guide and I. *smiles* If you wish to view the whole album for the trip, you may

Oh,
Do you still remember the new pair of roborovskis that I bought not too long ago?
They gave birth to their first loot after i came back from this Vietnam trip!

SEE!!!

Tiger Airways

2010-06-18T23:01:00.002+08:00

I've been reading one of my blogger fren - Jerine's Blog and I also know that she has bad experiences with this particular airline..

TIGER AIRWAYS.

I also have a few friends on facebook telling me that Tiger Airways is the worst carrier they have ever took in their life.

GOSH!!

and here i am.. going to take this airlines tomorrow to Vietnam Ho Chi Minh.

I can't imagine myself taking this flight.
But no choice..
It's going there to work..

If i am gonna travel .. have a holiday by myself..
Kill me i also won't take this airline and go to Vietnam.
Hahahaha!

I think if my step-mother sees this ..
She will arrange more tiger airways for me then i die le.
LOL!!

Before taking off,
all my nice colleagues wished me a safe and happy journey to vietnam.
except for this boy KWAN JUN LONG!!!
he is the only one who say,
"WHAT IF FLIGHT DELAY? YOU NEED TO BE STRANDED AT THE AIRPORT TOGETHER WITH YOUR PASSENGERS."

choy choy choy ~~~~~

haven't depart then start to say all these unlucky things le.
*pouts*

so..
an eye for an eye..
be careful Mr Kwan Jun Long..
wait ur next trip all your customers don't want to give you tipping.
HAHAHAHAH!!

just kidding lah..
i not so mean.
*giggles*

i really need to get some sleep.
wish me luck for this vietnam trip.
hope everything will be smooth..

19th to 23rd June.
I hope time will pass faster so that i will be able to return back to Singapore asap!

CRIES!! :(

Father's Day

2010-06-14T22:52:00.004+08:00

Father's Day

An occasion that i've never had the chance to celebrate before.
my childhood days..
i never really had time spending with my dad.
He left us when i was only 7.

He left the whole family for another woman..
and now, he had his new family already..
he and the woman had a son who is about the same age as my daughter..

Frankly speaking,
I still can't accept it.
HAHA!!

I always have alot of people telling me...
"things happen for a reason.." bla bla bla..
but who cares?

I've not seen my dad for many years..
he never comes home to see how me and my elder brother is doing..
he never bothers if my mum is able to bring the two of us up single-handedly.

For so many years..
we didn't meet.
only once or twice we walked pass each other at the mrt..
and he didn't even spot me.

and guess what?
ten over years passed...

FATE.
yeah, i guess fate is really playing a prank on me.

I've been in the travel line for so long already..
the least expected person that i will expect to bump into.. is actually..
my dad.

My previous trip to Hokkaido..
i never even dare to dream that i will bump into him there.
Yes, i really bumped into him there..
and no, it is not him alone..
it is him.. and his new family..

I went all emotional after seeing him.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how to describe it too..
I just feel.. unbalance.

I don't know how to weigh this kinda feeling..
I don't know how to weigh it to say that it is unfair..
I really don't know how..

I saw him when i was in Hokkaido's Furano Flower Land.
He self-drive to that place.
such a coincidence huh?

I got a shock when i saw him..
I thought how come there is a japanese here with such resemblance with my dad.
Then came along his current wife.. and i am certain that he is really my dad.

I called out for him..
he got a shock seeing me there too.

the best part is here..
He pointed at me and told his son,
"Nah, this is your elder sister. your jie jie."

that boy's reaction went, "HUH??"

I can understand how confused he is at that point of time cos he got no memory of me.
And i bet his mum and my dad didn't mention to him about my dad has a family before..
I can see he is struggling to digest that i am his sister and says, "er.. ok. Jie"

I am speechless.

TOTALLY SPEECHLESS.

I still cannot accept it.
not even now.

My tears were almost flowing out at the edge of my eyes and he still can ask me to take a picture with him..

as u can see from the picture..
my smile..
so fake and weak..

after the picture is taken,
i excused myself and said that i still have work to do, to assist my guide and my group of customers..
i walked away and burst into tears..

At tat point of time,
i can only feel angry and unfairly treated.

when i was young,
he didn't even bother to bring me for a movie..
and how would you expect me to feel when i see him
BRINGING HIS NEW FAMILY TO JAPAN HOKKAIDO?
he didn't even bring me and my mum travel before..
it doesn't exist in my memory at all.

So..
when people tell me "things happen for a reason."

Can someone tell me..
why is this happening?

*weeps*

I have STRAWBERRY TOES!

2010-06-10T22:51:00.004+08:00

this entry is kinda overdue already cos i actually got this new set of manicure done like 4 to 5 days ago.

So as you can see from this blog title..
you could have guess what pedicure nail arts i have for my toes.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!

YESH!
I have ONE strawberry on each toe!

Then a simple one for my fingers..

Actually i just came back from the hospital.

nope, i am perfectly ok.. nothing wrong with my health or anywhere..
but i just went there to see a colleague of mine, Douglas, who met with a traffic accident on 8th June night near woodlands.
not too sure the details of it but i only heard don't know it's a hit and run.. his motor hit the taxi or the other way round.
but well, the impact to his head was too great that he was in coma for the past few days.
all of us in office, his gf and his family and friends are all so worried for him.
all had him in their prayers and i guess god heard our cries..
the miracle happened today.
he opened his eyes!

he can respond to to his family's call by turning over to look at them.
but his body movements are very big..
to the extent that he kicked off things that are hanging onto his bed frame to the floor.
his big movements somehow makes us feel that it is a sign of him feeling frustrated.
maybe due to he can't speak.. and cannot get up by himself..

*sighs*

there are many things in life that is unpredictable.
it is just like today .. Douglas helped me attend to one of my customers at work.. he still complaining to me about things that he is not satisfied with the other department..
and the next morning during the morning meeting the news break out saying that he is in critical condition and in coma.. Doctors are not able to say when he will wake up.

This will definitely let us know one thing..

"Cherish the ones before us."

FOLLOW ME TO FABULOUS HOKKAIDO!!

2010-06-08T22:08:00.019+08:00

yeap, i'm back!

If you're a sashimi or seafood lover,
Hokkaido is definitely a place you must visit.

If you're a flower lover,
You should visit Hokkaido's Furano Flower Land during the flower season usually around July to August.

If you're a chocolate lover,
u MUST go Hokkaido too!

If you're a beef lover,
KOBE BEEF (40% cooked) tastes the best in Hokkaido as well!!!

First!!
Let me introduce you to Hokkaido Jingu. (It's actually a Shrine.)
According to my guide, alot of japanese newly weds will go there for outdoor family photo shoot as well as get thier blessings from the gods there.

If you can see, there is actually a newly weds behind me taking picture. :)

And now this place.. it's Otaru Canal.
Otaru Canal used to be a central part of the city's busy harbor in the first half of the 20th century, when large vessels had to be unloaded by smaller ships, which then transported the goods to warehouses along the canal.

The canal became obsolete, when modern dock facilities allowed for direct unloading of larger vessels. Thanks to a citizens' movement, however, a part of the canal was beautifully restored in the 1980s instead of being landfilled, while the warehouses were transformed into shops, cafes, museums and restaurants.

After taking some pictures of the canal.. we went to take a walk around Otaru area.
And.. guess what i spotted?
SCALLOPS!!!

Get the guy to cook on the spot.
THEY ARE SO SO FRESH!!!

trust me,
THEY ARE YUMMY!!!
*drools*

walked around the area some more..
and spotted the many-layers ice cream cone.
they call them Soft Cream.

There are many many flavours for you to choose.
I had Strawberry, Milk and Melon flavors! :D~

My customers saw me eating it, they couldn't resist the temptation and went to buy one for themselves too. HAHAHAHA!!!
Look at the flowers at Odori Park.
So colorful, so many of them.. so pretty..

hmmm..
next.. is the BEST PART!
*
*
*
*
*
*
(DRUM ROLLS)
*
*
*
*
*
*
KOBE BEEF!!!

the chef came out personally to prepare for us,
cooked to our liking.

SEE THOSE BEEF!!
*slurps*

YESH!
ONE OF THEM LYING ON THAT PAN IS MINE!!!
*evil laughs*

after the beef is 40% cooked,
I bring it to my table and ate it together with my Unagi Rice.

ITADAKIMASU!!

After dinner, we went over to Mt. Okurayama for a night scenery of Sapporo City.

Now this is one place that makes me feel like Alice In Wonderland.
The whole place is so "dreamy"
This place is..
The White Chocolate Factory!

Let me show you around :)

The whole place is very big
and in order not to get lost,
they made cat's paw prints on the floor inside the building.
Follow those paws, and you will never get lost !!
Hahaha!!

Oh, I almost forgot.
Japan's beer somehow taste different from Singapore's Tiger Beer!
thier beer.. is.. somehow.. hmm... Smooth ~

Let me show you.. Asahi Beer Factory!

After showing everyone around,
they let all the customers have a free flow beer tasting.

How generous!
hahaha!!

Gonna take Sounkyo's Ropeway up to Mt.Daisetsu.
There is still snow, so how cold do you tink it is? :p

First is Beer.
Second will be Japanese Rice Wine known as Sake.
So, we went to Sake Brewery Factory.

Just outside the brewery,
there is a place for you to drink the natural spring water.
you can even get an empty water bottle to fill it up urself :p

And do you know..
Hokkaido's Onsen is one of the best in the world?
When you stay in an Onsen Hotel,
you will need to change into thier Yukata, scrub yourself clean before you can soak into the Onsen Bath.
See?
I'm all READY! :D
Oh, let me show you to my room.
YES! Tatami bed!
very cozy huh? :)

Every year,
during summer time..
Japan always have lots of beautiful flowers.
And Hokkaido has got this really beautiful place filled with lotsa flowers..
The place is called,
Furano Flower Land.

They have Lavender,

Tulips,

Pink Moss,

and other color small little flowers.

During August, you will also be able to see Sunflowers too!!

Just in case you do not know..
Hokkaido's Cherry Blossom Season is usually during early May.
This year's weather is much colder than before and right now in June,
I still can see CHERRY BLOSSOMS at Lake Toya!!

This is the first time i see people bathing a baby bear.

Yeap!
We went to the Bear Ranch!

This way to HELL VALLEY!

This place smells of Sulphur.

That night,
checked in to a hotel near that area.
That hotel has Bingo game to keep the hotel guests entertained. All people have to purchase this card at 500 yen per piece.

Well, due to Japan Government do not encourage their citizen to gamble,
therefore the winnings will not be money.
Instead, there will be a table full of prizes and if you win,
you get to choose any item you like on the table!

Check out the prize i WON from the Bingo game!!!
*BEAMS FROM EAR TO EAR*

Fresh Seafood Market

Customers get to get to choose thier own Hokkaido Crabs

and Toro Sashimi

to eat for their lunch!

And i had this...

CRAB RICE!
*bites lower lip*

Here are some more interesting and random things i come across in Hokkaido..

GUESS WHAT I SAW IN THE CITY STREETS OF HOKKAIDO?
YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE YOU EYES!!

Tat's right! Geylang Lor 8.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

According to my guide,
it is a "kopitiam" there. but the food in there..
SUCKS!

My favourite food in McDonalds there.
EBI BURGER AND BACON POTATO PIE!!

And check out the XXX magazines selling openly in 7-11 convenience stores..

Haha!!

From Left to right,
Me, my customer Mr Tan, my Driver Yito-San, my customer Mrs Tan, my guide Susan!

Not available in other parts of Japan.
Believe it or not,
It tastes AWSOME!!
The Royce Nutty Bar Chocolate is also LOVE ~~~

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

True Friend, 1 is enough.

2010-06-07T23:13:00.002+08:00

just got home less than an hour ago.
came back from a so called.. "problem solving meet up"

I'm seriously glad then i am of some help for my friend.
well, that is what friends are for.
isn't it?

friends should help each other as much as they can.
of cos within thier limits lah..

I always believe in ONE THING.
"What I do to people or how i treat them now, they will do the same to me in future or when i need them"
So that is why, i always try to help and provided it is not something illegal or bad.

This good friend of mine.. shares her joy and sorrows with me.. works with me.. been there for me..
I don't deny that we've not quarreled before.
Friends bound to have some disagreements once in a while and will definitely argue over it.
But fate still bring us back together..
closer, better, and up to a higher level. :)

This friend of mine..
how should i put it.
I tink she needs me more than i need her.
Reason being..
she is not local, therefore she is all alone in singapore.
She has no one to turn to whereas if i can't get her, i still have my boyfriend and family.
that is why i will try my best to be there for her whenever she needs me.

I really pity people who goes to a foreign land on thier own to earn a living.
I can put myself in thier shoes and imagine myself being alone in the room with no one to tok to,
no one to go out with.

Can you imagine being two-timed by some fucktard?
Being alone in a foreign country is bad enough.
Taking this as an advantage and thinking this girl has no one to turn to when something backfires..
HE IS SO SO WRONG!!
cos he must have overlook that I WILL BE THERE FOR HER!

after everything is done and about to go home,
i told him, "play with people's feelings liao, should be enough liao rite? i seriously think u owe her an apology."
his reaction?
his face, with a very weak smile, shook his head and said, "No. I won't apologise." and walked away.

I only have one word for him.
IRRESPONSIBLE

It's ok.
Like what i said above..
I believe in karma.

*smiles*

Lack of Updates

2010-05-28T23:48:00.005+08:00

Didn't update much recently as I'm pretty busy with preparing things to Japan.
Yeap!
I'll be leaving to Changi Airport in like another 4hours time.

I just finish packing my luggage (yes i noe.. super last minute!)
and just finish writing 29 embarkation cards.
*massage own fingers*

This time round, i'm going to Japan once again..
but !!
it is to..
HOKKAIDO!

will be away from 29th May till 4th June.

I've been monitoring the weather over there and thank god it is so cooling!
Temperature at about 7 to 17 degrees celcius.
Sadly now is wet season.. so it won't be surprising if it's raining there.
*pouts*

a few of my colleagues just returned from their trip to Hokkaido as well and all of them are encouraging me to try their onsen!

I'm still hesitating even at this point of time because it's naked hotspring.
*blushes*

throughout this trip, there will be 3 nights onsen resorts.
one mineral bath,
one spring water bath,
one sulphur bath.

Hmmmmm ~~
and they told me the sulphur bath is the best.

*rubs chin and grins*

will definitely update about my trip after i am back!

so for now..
let me post some pictures of my new pet roborovski that i bought not too long ago. :D

bought them from Pet Lover Centre
