starting the week with a swollen toe.
the weekend has been great, from a great saturday out with der and a nice dinner with my favourite rocher bean curd as supper to a fantastic and lovely wedding of Ray & my bestie (and extremely tiring too!) on national day and ending with a super cleaning/packing day.. it’s been fulfilling thus far. and today, i start work with a swollen and bruised toe because i dropped this big plank of wood on my toe and i cannot bend it now. the pain is so acute, i am wondering if there is any fracture of some sort. nonetheless, the vain me came in heels still and i’m still in…

in half envy..
reading about the trips that my family members are going to make.. my uncles and aunties specifically.. i could only dream and drool about it. later this month, they are going on the alaska cruise!!! it’s one of those must-do things that i want to achieve in my life.. but i guess now is not really the time. there is a time and thing for everything i guess.. maybe der will bring me one day. and i cannot help but dream about that bali trip in sept.. and that germany trip in october/november.. of which, i will all be missing. it’s ok. south africa is good for now. i just…

south africa..
been trying to read up about south africa for the past hr and a half and it seems like greek to me. totally cannot relate to the places and the names and what nots. this is by far the hardest research i have done for any trip. i reckon it’s the fact that i cannot remember the names of the places.. so i keep reading back and forth to refer. have anyone gone to south africa that can provide some tips for reference? from the list, what would be worth covering? johnnesburg, south africa safari, victoria falls, chobe (botswana) & cape town. on a side note, i cannot seemed to…

where i was over the weekend..
new york… // new york hotel in jb i meant. where the view spans into nothingness. with a funeral to attend and uncle and grandpa in JB, bro & me booked 2 hotel rooms to “facilitate” our stay. the only sad thing is that, we didn’t really have much chance to enjoy the hotel, coming back close to midnight every day and heading out at 8am. my aching bones are collapsing into shambles. so much so, i had to crawl back into bed at 11am today to grab an hr nap before we are due to check out. i guess funerals are mentally draining events. i’m glad that mum enjoys…

malaysia, truly asia!
the best thing about my break last week was not the HK trip. it was the 4 days spent at my grandpa’s place. so funny huh? i guess the hk trip was too rushed in some sense, too short, too tired from all the traveling that’s prior to it and everyone is just so tired to begin with. the msia part was refreshing because it was a lot of peace for me, quiet surroundings and it made me think about things that i never have the time to ponder about in the hectic lives that we lead. well, at least i made an observation. do you think ants are social…

my loots from hk.
everyone has been asking if hk was fun. it was nothing much except sight-seeing. contrary to the usual belief of eating non stop and shopping non stop.. i didn’t do that. food consisted mainly of the hotel breakfast and random snack here and there. i only had dim sum on the last day for lunch and only visited a ‘cha chang teng’ (tea house) once for gong zai mien. i only got about 5 hours of shopping time (travelling included) and well.. i just grabbed whatever i could. and tadah! these are my loots. a cherry tomato plant! this is the first thing i bought in hk.. at just S$3!…

off to hong kong in 2 hours!
need to get ready (read: bathe) and head for the airport in the next 5 mins. the body has been extremely tired out, from a lot of driving and the past 4 days have been quite an adventure going to places and getting things done. just that i didn’t manage to get my blogging done. because there was simply no time and too tired to do so. i guess driving drains your brain juice too. anyway, had been out in msia (grandpa’s place) over the weekend and drove up to melacca with the family. errr.. it had been a stressful trip in some ways and i scraped the front bumper…

a vacation finally!
i am going on a vacation (like finally!). the trip has been brewing for the past weeks and the tickets are booked, it just that i haven’t gotten round to announcing it. but.. the recent news on HK being listed as one of the countries affected by swine flu is such a BIG damper. 🙁 now i wonder if i could even travel. my only hopes is that the swine flu thing dies down and the virus does not spread. so long no additional people in HK is being diagnosed with the flu, i take it as good news. for now, i can only wait and see. it doesnt help…
