Long day.
The day started at 6.30am. i struggled between trying to silence the 5 ringing alarm clocks (my iPhone, my alarm clock, der’s g-shock alarm clock, and our E71s) and trying to grab more sleep. to top it off, my mum was banging madly on the door to wake us up. -_- who in the world wakes at 6.30am in the morning to go JB? I think my mum is insane and as much as i tried telling her that we DO NOT need to go so early because there will be no jam, way enough time for breakfast AND shopping before turning up for granduncle’s birthday lunch.. the stubborn streak…

[26 Sep 2009] Day 1 in South Africa.
This had to be one of the most tiring day of my life. Having worked a full day at work, heading to the airport at 11pm and jetting off at 2am in the morning, 10 hours of flight time, and I started my day at 7am on a Saturday morning in South Africa. My day didn’t end till 1am (SA time) or 7am (Singapore time – Sunday). My first impression? This place looks pretty much like the U.S, say 10 years ago? I landed with my uncle and we pretty much took our own sweet time exploring the airport, getting a prepaid phone line and data packs, and hunted around…

the weekend.
these days, the weekend goes by in a flash! the weekend saw more jewellery shopping and it’s no where near improving things as per last weekend. i guess we are pretty decided on the kind of designs that we could consider, the specific ones and possibly customizing one side of it. his side. // friday night. the 3 musketeers go out to play. we popped by greenwood fish market and bistro. WOW! has it been ages since i last went there? the place expanded so much that I almost couldn’t recognise what used to be a cosy nook. and despite increasing the sitting capacity by 200%, they are still turning…

angry
its such an uphill task to de-clutter my house. i really really hate the amount of junk in the house and this morning, i packed like 50 of my old bags to bring to salvation army and a few bag of clothes. yeah, i know i always talk about having to sell them, but i figured if sleep was something that i am not getting enough of, i’ll never get my butt to doing that. and so, almost everything that i threw into the ‘salvation bag’, was fished out by my mum.. oh, this looks quite new.. i could give it to the maid in malaysia.. oh, this is nice.…

the JB food trail..
ok. i didn’t take all the pictures of the stuff i had. sometimes, i was just plain lazy. other times, i was just too hungry. either that or that the stuff are the usual ones that i always eat and they have nothing much to shout about. kicked start the trip with bak kut teh! big bowl of mixed stuff, pig trotters, tau pok, and salted vegetables. it was just heaven tucking into these even its a hot afternoon. there was this chicken in a claypot thing but i apparently got too busy eating that i didnt take a picture of it. durian as a dessert 30 mins after our…

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…

life is so fragile.
my mum just called and somehow, looking at the time.. the first thing that came to my mind was.. did something bad happen? and my worry was more for her. don’t ask me how i know, i just had the sudden feeling it was bad news. well, she was a sobbing mess and she managed to say that my grand aunt just passed away and that i have to attend the funeral in msia over the weekend and on monday. i just checked with HR and i am NOT entitled to compassionate leave (because she’s aunt, not ma), and oh wells, i texted my boss and applied for annual leave…
