Colours of the Rainbow~

Finally met my dearest Angie after a long long time.. haha~ 1 month? Missed her lots.. and we sure had alot to catch up.. that single evening was simply too short... =P

We had Ramen at Ajisen (Bugis).. And I finally tried the crayfish ramen.. Been wanting to try the Crayfish Ramen since long long time ago, but I'd always end up ordering Tom Yam.. haha~ But this time round, I surrendered... =P

Just look at how small the Crayfish is...... Shell so thick and big, meat so little.. haha.. I'm like eating an overweight prawn... =P Not satisfying at all!... haha.. I should have ordered Tom Yam loh~..

This is pretty Angie posing with her Tom Yam Ramen in the background.. Well, my Crayfish Ramen is here to steal the limelight... haha~
We went to do some shopping as GG5 got sale!! haha... How can I resist clothes from GG5??!!....... If I have money, all my clothes will be from that shop~ *drools* haha... And after an hour of shopping and trying on clothes in that shop, Angie and I didnt get anything.. haha~ I'm amazed at myself... =P

Finally, the Lim family woke up early on Sunday morning to have brunch together =) haha.. Ever since Papa Lim and Mama Lim started the cake shop, we havent really got the chance to brunch as a family on a lovely Sunday morning..
hee! I was really happy.... And so... We drove to Kelantan Lane to eat Bak Kut Teh~ =)

Fast forward to Mid week Wednesday..........
Mr Koh and I went to eat jap food... To feed our weary souls.. haha! Coz I arrived early, I went window shopping as I waited for Mr Koh...
Haha.. that fatal few minutes made me spend money =P Bought a top from a random shop.. and it took me less than 5 mins to make the whole purchase.. 5 mins to spot the top, thinking what I can match it with, ask for a new piece (which they don't have), check the top for defects (if any), then pay... haha... Tsk tsk! In times like this, I should cut down on shopping.. heng the top aint expensive.. haha!
Back to the food... We had some discount voucher, so we gan gan order... hee!
My set: Me with some chicken coated with cheese swimming in soya sauce with bits of mushroom (the main dish)... haha~ then chawanmushi, soft shell crab, miso soup and fruits.. $15...

His set: This is him with his Cha soba, Unagi rice, miso soup and fruits~ Look at that grin.. haha! Can't wait to stuff all that into his stomach =P

It was pretty unmotivating going to my 'cage' everyday.. It's bad when you do things reluctantly.. Spirits were down coz of the economic downturn, and news I read/heard got more depressing each day... Things don't look too good for the near future.. We havent even reached the middle of this crisis.. I foresee more retrenchment, cost cutting, pressure from bosses and never ending meetings... ...
Well well, but do take things slow and appreciate the simple things around you......... I happened to see this beautiful rainbow (wide semi circle) while waiting for my bus after work.. Lovely isnt it? Rainbow after the rain... It brightened up my evening immediately... hee!
Always look on the bright side of life.. Something beautiful will be waiting for you after the rain~ =)

It's Mummy's Birthday~ =)

Feb 20 is dearest Mummy's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY~~~
We brought the birthday girl to this chinese/thai restaurant located just outside Buangkok mrt.. We had a la carte buffet! woohoo~ which means we can eat whatever we want... =) Beh Beh yi treated all of us to the dinner~ haha...

The attendees:
Mummy, Beh Beh Yi and Ah Qi.................. Looking all nice and pretty~ =) Mr Koh, me and Daddy.......

We ordered a whole table (not big enough) of food... haha! Eat and eat and eat.... The food was ok, but it was pretty salty i feel, though it adds to the overall taste... haha.. But seriously, the food could be better if it is not as salty...

We had tom yam soup, chilli crabs, vvv small fish =P, noodles, rice, vege dishes... haha.. It was just alot of food................................


Happily eating~

Amazed by what the waitress brought to us.. and the table is simply too small for all the dishes... haha... Look at mummy's smile.. radiant! =) haha............

I can't help but to pose with the table of food.... =P

Something vvvv funny happened in the middle of the dinner.. Which got me laughing so loudly, and till today, I can still laugh to myself whenever I'm reminded about it.. =P HAHA~ My mummy is sooo cute =P

It was a sumptious and happy dinner... Full of food, jokes, laughter, warmth and love~ =) hee! I'm glad everyone had a wonderful dinner... and thank you Beh Beh Yi, for the treat... haha~

Finally, a group shot before we left...

Happy Birthday Mummy!~ May you stay sweet, pretty, lovable, healthy and happy always... =)

A lonely day in office~

Today I'm alone in office.. Everyone is either on leave/mc/overseas... Working very hard all the way from 9am to 7pm.. This is really insane.. I ran up and down to get things done.. Duno why I'm so busy like a bee when others (even mgrs can stroll ard).. Not that 7pm is vv late, it's just that I had duno how many meetings with my small boss, discussing my Business Proposal (in which I only had 3-4 days to do up, it was really terrifying, the amount of work to be done, it's a big pjt.. to be submitted to the bosses)... Not that I only have this proposal on hand.. I have really alot of things to do..... Sometimes I wish that I have more hands and more brains.. I think I'm so wonderful =P

Big boss is chasing small boss, small boss chase me.. Do you ever feel like vomitting after you've worked too hard, squeezed all your brain juices out.. leaving your poor brained like a soaked sponge.. I'm not joking leh... haha~ I don't even have time to go to the toilet, let alone go pantry to take water.. That's what I felt today.. By 7, I think I had enough, I needa break~ for my eyes and brains.. Last to leave (later than my boss).. My consolation.. A kueh Lapis from Bengawan Solo.. HAHA~

Today I got a shock of my life.. While talking to my small boss (actually he was complaining), I heard him giving some names to some big shots he don't like (finally, he is human afterall).. Haha~ He called them "那两个老女人"... And I laughed vv loudly in front of him.. HAHA~ I do not know if this is a trap.. He might be sounding me out, trying to see if I don't like them as well.. A SPY??? *gasp* haha.......

Well, I'm not complaining........ =P Just commenting... It's been almost 7 months *pat on my back* It's a commendable acheivement.. It is.....

I was pretty alone the whole day.. Ocassional calls from colleagues requesting for things.. Some surprise visits from sales colleagues (coz they know I'm alone) =P........ Haha~ That's not all, yesterday I was told I shudnt cut short hair coz my face is round =P today another colleague commented that I look like a doll.. hmph! nvm...............

Yes, I'm going to do work now.. Brought work home to do... *help*

Thankfully, I have this song to accompany me when I'm doing work...

Date with Mr. Valentine

Valentine's day was spent with my date, Mr. Koh.... Highlight of the day was dinner at this ulu ulu korean restaurant located at Telok Ayer, after loitering around shopping malls at raffles city/Marina Square.. Shopping malls were infested with people.. couples walking around, gfs hugging bouquets of flowers..

Talking about flowers... Bouquets I saw that day come in different sizes and colours too.. Florists must be grinning from ear to ear.. Business sure looks good! haha~ I can understand the stress bfs are facing during vday... Wondering if the gfs would mind if they didnt receive any... And if the guys ever buy, they would normally fret over how big a bouquet it should be (recession leh~)... haha....

Anyway, back to the dinner... =) This place brings back fond memories for me as I used to grow up around this place (Beh Beh Yi's place is just less than 100m away).. haha~ Name of the restaurant: Manna Restaurant...

We made our orders soon after we settled down.. The deco is something which I must mention.. It has such a homely feel to it.. There were nice curtains (he said it looked dirty) haha.. and warm lighting.. wooden chairs added to the cozy ambience.. perfect! What's even better was, the restaurant was pretty empty! so much better than squeezing with crowds in town... It's a nice place to dine, if you enjoy some quieter moments with ur date/savouring the food...

Condiments were served all at once, right after we ordered..
There was so much food......... I felt like a pig.. A royal pig =P

The feast!

Me with his Bi-Bim-Bab~ =)
Him with my Kimchi Chi-gae and the BBQ Pork~ Woohoo... Eat and you will fly up the sky lo... I kid you not~ HAHA!
The food was good.... Esp the BBQ Pork! It is well marinated and the meat is sooo tender.. It melts in ur mouth (I'm kiddin, if it melts, it means that the meat is spoilt =P) The savory marinated pork had a tinge of sweetness to it as well....... Though not exactly cheap ($22), it was the main lead on the table that night =)

The food was so good that we finished all of it.. Tadah! all swimming inside our satisfied stomachs.... =)

Yes~ It was a good meal..................... *Yum Yum*
And I finally watched Benjamin Button after that at Tiong Bahru Plaza... haha! I like the story.. I finally understood why I've received such diverse reviews about this film.. It's either you hate it/love it.. Well, as for me... I was totally captivated by the story.. It sets me thinking after the movie.. How would it feel like if I were to live my life backwards... Did you ever think about that? The physical changes that you have to go through (aging backwards) while your mental capabilities function and age as normal.. It's pretty interesting........ Go catch it if you don't mind a long/draggy movie.. You'll just have to follow through...... =)
Valentine's day went past just like that.............. And yes, I'm glad I spent it with my Valentine~ =)

PPG Meet-up~

On Friday the 13th, PPG met up for a pre-valentine's day dinner... HAHA~ Our vv own valentine's dinner... =)


Sweetie Felicia (Blossoms) bought us a stalk of rose each... hee! Such a dearie.... Thank you so much babe~ =)
We had our dinner over this vv simple restaurant/cafe at Novena which sells pretty good Ayam Penyet.. Heard Mr Koh mention about this restaurant some time back.. And since Felicia said it serves quite a decent meal, so why not? HAHA~
This is my Ayam Penyet.. I so love and hate this sambal chilli (or some other kind of chilli) haha...

We went for some shopping after dinner to burn off those extra calories.. =P Shops were slowly closing and it's time for some chilling... Wanted to go to Harry's, but I was quite disturbed and disappointed by the crowd, deco and ambience... haha! I can imagine myself falling asleep inside.. =P Bad Bad... Very bad for chilling.. I wonder why people visit this branch.. haha! or maybe my expectations were too high~ I'm sure my PPG felt the same way too....


Cam-whoring on our way... haha!

We decided to head over to Starbucks for a simple girlie coffee session~ =) we havent had this kinda chilling sessions for such a long time yea?........... We had coffee, good ambience, lovely deco and most importantly great company............. Talking to PPG makes me miss school so much.. Missed the days where we would attend tutorials/lectures/projects/eat/laze ard in school together.. Not forgetting shopping sessions after school....... We were simply inseparable.. haha!

Now that we're working and busy with work and all, schooling life seems sooooo far away........ But of course that doesnt mean that PPG has disappeared from the scene... Bring the 3 girls together and be prepared for a major catastrophe.. haha!

Our Liu Mei Mei (Bubbles) brought up this highly controversial and sensitive topic all of a sudden during our coffee session... And I'm amazed by how much we can talk about it for the whole session =P Tsk Tsk! Girls~ haha...
I shant disclose the topic.. It's a PPG thing.. HAHA~ Liu mei mei.. Your turn to be drilled next time.. =P Feli, get ready all ur weapons..

With Felicia...

With Liu Mei Mei........ I look like spiderman dont I? =)
Felicia and Shiyou~
Though it was a short meet-up, we all had fun... I love my PPG =) It's friends like them that makes life worthwhile...... Friends who know you in and out.. accept you for who you are... That's what friends are for....... =)
It's horrifying to know how fast time flies.. Seriously.. I'm turning 23 this year.. Goodness, I can't believe it.. This is the time to discover and acheive~ I realized I have been repeating and blabbering about how fast time flies, but seriously, time is slipping away too quickly.. *screams*

Ebony and Ivory~

This is a super old school song~ haha.. Ebony and Ivory is the title of this song.. Fabulous pairing of 2 powerful vocalists: Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.. It definitely created wonders~.. haha! And Paul Mc Cartney sure looks young.. He's like the Brad Pitt in those days.. =)

Time for some feel-good songs.. Just sing along to this song and it makes your muscles relax.. soothes your tensed-up nerves... Groovy and catchy.. Once again, makes me wanna escape to somewhere again.. haha! to a place where I can cruise along aimlessly, singing along to this song happily, sipping cold coconut juice.. This song brings me back to the 80's man.. haha~

Apparently, If I'm not wrong, this song promotes racial harmony.. And that we should live together in harmony.. Just like ebony and ivory keys on the piano.. Simple and up-lifting isnt it?.. Perfect! This is another song that will stay etched in my mind for a long time.. What happened to songs nowadays????... haha.. Tsk tsk!
FYI, Stevie Wonder is blind from birth.. He's such a talent.. *respect*

Presenting to you~
Watch them groove.. haha~



Ebony And Ivory
live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why dont we?

We all know that people are the same where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
we learn to live we learn to give each other
what we need to survive together alive

Ebony and Ivory
live together in perfect harmony
side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why dont we?

Ebony,Ivory living in pefect harmony
Ebony,Ivory oh..

We all know that people are the same where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
we learn to live when we learn to give each other
what we need to survive together alive

Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why dont we?

And I Miss the City of Entertainment...

So fast so fast, my vacation ended... How I wish I don't have to go back to work =P I had so much fun over at Genting.. My only worry is to think of what to eat... I'm spoilt for choice......... HAHA~ I love such holidays.. Though I did not go to the outdoor theme park, like how I would always do when I go Genting.. Lazing/walking around aimlessly is just as pleasant! It was such an enjoyable trip up the mountains with Mummy dearest and my Beh Beh Yi... =) Oh ya, I did alot of shopping too~ haha.......... Super cheap Mango clothes, and Vincci shoes.. woohoo~ =)

Okok~ Let me slowly recall and document my 3 days 2 nights trip.......

Dearest Daddy drove us to Golden Mile early in the morning.. It was 630am....... woohoo~ all excited! haha...
3 Super Ladies all geared up for the trip~ =)
Searching for our coach... Mummy looks vv lost.. haha!
Up in the coach....
This is Beh Beh Yi~ Looking all charged and ready for the long ride up north lo...
This is Mummy and I~..... Taken by Beh Beh Yi's phone....
Taken using my phone.. haha!
After 7 hrs of bus ride.. I've reached the city of entertainment!! Time was 130pm... It was uber uber cold can~~ *brrr*
My first shot at Genting... =)

I was pretty disappointed with the hotel really... vvv cramped leh~
no thermo flask, no HAIR DRYER!! How I dry my hair at night... Suku de~ But nvm... We ji ji yi tang lo~ 3 ladies on 2 single beds... haha..
After settling down, we were soooo hungry.... Went to this chinese restaurant for our lunch..
Such a sweet picture with Mummy...........
After lunch, we walked around the indoor First World shopping mall... and then went to the outdoor Pasar Malam.. This is new.. haha!

The sisters..........
Mother and daughter... =)
Me hugging the Tiger Mascot..
Went back to Hotel to nap.. haha~ 3 little pigs needa rest.. so that we have sufficient energy to HUAT at the Casino at night..
Dinner time!
Me with my RM11.50 Curry Mee............ I decline to comment on the pricing there.. haha~

Secretly stole a shot of them gobbling down their Wanton Mee =P

First World Hotel is such a colourful place... Esp at night...
Aniwae, I've got no luck at the Casino on the first night... =P
ZZZZzzzzzzz
Day 2
Group shot before heading out for Breakfast =)

Posing with the door.. HAha...

Quoted by Beh Beh Yi... "wah... This is 仙境!" HAHA............... well said~ I fell in love with the clouds... =)
We headed to Kopitiam (a food court) for Breakfast...
They serve vvvv salty food..... By my standard, if I say something is salty, it is really vv salty.. haha! trust me~ But still, the food is nice and cheaper than normal restaurants and eateries.. hee~
Shopping ard after meal...
Posing with the brown hulk behind me... It was vv malu posing like that.. but nobody knows me there ma.. so it's ok, nvm... haha!

See the Genting Tower? It's been there for years.. Haha.. It's like seeing a long lost friend =P

Went out of First World shopping mall... This is the exit..

Went out for fresh air.. Apparently not leh! Ppl smoke all they want, cars exhaust stinks... Tsk Tsk.. Pollute my clouds... =(

Went indoors to Genting Highland... This is the hotel I used to stay when I was much younger.. Before First world was built.. It was a decade ago... Goodness, how time flies... I've aged =P
This is the arcade... I used to hang around this place too... haha! Memories... Now that I've grown up... I hang around Casinos... HAHA! I think I understand why adults like to gamble.. But still, I have to smell stinky uncles' 2nd hand smoke... *suffocates*

Taken on the escalator... I've taken quite a few shots coz most failed... Mummy and Beh Beh Yi is still nice enough to pose for me... HAHA! no choice ma... When there's no one to help us with group shots.. we have to DIY =)
Drifted off to Starbucks coz our weary legs needed a break~
Being the good girl, I gave them the arm chair seats.. haha.. While I took the lao pok chair.. =P
Me with my Mocha Frappucino......

See Big Ben and the sleigh ride above our heads??
Went back to Hotel for our compulsory nap.. HAHA! Then came out for dinner again... AT THE KOPITIAM AGAIN!! haha... Mummy loves the kopitiam lo~ 2nd time!
We ordered hor fun and fried bee hoon to share =)
Then.. It was casino again... and I won on the 2nd day! But still.... overall net loss! =P
ZZZzzzzzz
Day 3
Breakfast at Marry Brown............
Check-out of hotel...
And had BASKIN ROBBINS! woohoo~ I was craving for it the whole trip.. Finally had time to settle for one before we left... =)
Lazing around before we board the coach back home~
This is where we hid.. Haha... Instead of carrying our bags everywhere, we chilled and relax here =)
I love ice-cream~
Lastly, to make sure we dun get hungry along the way back on coach... We went to try the famous Bak Kut Teh~ HAHA~ RM36.80.... Exp, but worth a try! =)
And there........................ I reached Singapore at around 830pm~ So fast! Though the trip was short, it was really enjoyable.. Super relaxing and cold.. HAHA! and I had a different kind of fun.......... Again again please~~~~
