Down Town Manhattan Elite

I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, XOXO...
I am pretty sure you remember those words clearly from GOSSIP GIRL.
HEre I am stuck in DownTown Manhattan...Looking up was a clear sky; surrounded by big tall buildings; I felt so small.
Yellow cabbies are everywhere; reminded me of DEVIL WEARS PRADA.
Everyone was busy; looking good, professional yet fashionable in their office or casual attires.
This is NEW YORK CITY!

I got up at 2am after a great 8 hours sleep from 6pm; and I couldn't get myself back to sleep til 4am; I got another 2 hours extra stay in slumberland.
When I finally woke up and knew that I have to wake up; I told myself it's gonna be a good good day!
Indeed it is....

I went to BLOOMS CAFE for brekkie with 11 other friends.
It was a big group that we had to split into two and sit separately.
I used to order SLUMBER JACK which contains griddle cakes, ham, sausages and two fresh eggs; not forgotten tea and orange juice.

But today I seem to be craving for something else.
So I ordered the corn beef hash with THREE sunny side ups and toast and for my 'greediness', I ordered another bagel with cream cheese.

I know you might think that I sound crazy to have been able to finish it all; but yes! I did it again...
You should be wondering where are all the food gone coz I don't look that BIG to represent those yummy stuffs that has been killed and chewed til the last bite~





Well...after the breakfast; I thought of just jalan jalan exploring my most fav place for all time; the great great 5th avenue and perhaps stoping by times square.




But hey! yeaaa....the bunch of people keep asking me to follow them to jersey garden...
And finally I said yes after rejected zillion times!

I hate jersey garden; such a small factory outlet mall that I could not get anything great!
I guess company that matters!!! That's what the forcing slogan for the day! *grinn*
I brought the bunch of people to go to enterprise car rental located in 48th street between 5th and the 6th avenue to get a mini van to be able to contain the 8 of us to go to jersey garden!
I tried to drag them all to WOODSBURY COMMON; but unfortunately everyone objected it.
Some said its far; some said they would declare bankruptcy if they were to go there.
Eventually there we are....on the way to JERSEY GARDEN.
I was so hyper active due to over dose of caffeine I consumed this morning; I kept talking non-stop and laughing non-stop.
Do I sound like a mad cow? *silly laugh*

After a good 3 hours exploring the mall; I spend USD 200 in NIKE; got my NEW GYM SHOES and GYM ATTIRES.
I bought several stuffs from forever 21 too and some clothing from Windsor; to complete my shopping; BEBE is a must stop destination and I got a nice top that costs me USD 35.
Well...I have to admit that my spending habit has been reduced much after the last november.
I bought what I need now; instead of what I want!!!

I am gonna sign up gym membership right after I got back from this trip; therefore I need those gym stuffs.
I got it cheap here!!! so realli very bery satisfied.
My gang member bought numerous stuffs too; dresses from BCBG, "HOT STUFFS" from VICTORIA SECRET, Abercrombie and bla bla bla bla.... the list goes on and on....
Anyway I got back hotel at 6pm and I am not hungry so I guess I am not gonna have any dinner for tonight!

I am going to sleep like a baby for the next 12 hours!
And tomorrow is gonna be another great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spada..... Gut Nite!

I know you love me, XOXO!

Welcoming MARCH!!!

I could hardly believe that it's the third month of the year!
Here comes the crucial month to the world; that someone incredibly nice,funny,adorable and kind was born at the very month 25 years back! >.<

Uffghhh...Time flies...
I was in frankfurt yesterday and now I am in New York.
I was so tired and I dragged myself to get out for lunch at 12pm.
Btw I have landed at about 10.15am...
I went to eat at Japanese Restaurant called "EaST" at 44th Street in downtown Manhattan.
I so love the small cozy room here in Marriott; its a definite -can't go wrong- kind of a hotel; conveniently located in lexington avenue.
Love it to the max... I will grade 89% for the bed and amenities.
I was so tired that it was 3 am singapore time earlier yet I was there in 5th avenue.
I could not believe how far have I gone.
I thought wonderwoman does not exist anymore. *grinn*

Well...am gonna have a good good sleep and get ready for breakfast at blooms tomorrow!! Nite all....

Being with myself

Whenever I am away; Michael Buble song keep ringing into my mind.
Its coming towards end of winter now in frankfurt; another summer day is coming in no time...
In Paris, Rome and every other places...

I Really I wanna go home. I miss someone dear to my heart.
I miss a small crampy and fully stuffed house in singapore...Well a.k.a pigeon hole:)

Its again another 8 days journey; Its frankfurt today; tomorrow will be in New York.
I know I am lucky but sometimes I ain't feel overwhelmed with joy.
The wind blows so hard outside; I could feel a harsh slapping to my glass window.
It makes me feel lonelier...

I just had a great time dining in a fine restaurant with a bunch of great friends.
Great fun, laughs, jokes and fantastic food.
But deep inside I know it's not enough...
I am yearning from peace that comes from heaven above and assurance of God that everything is gonna be alright.
Yeah I live a tough life but my God is tougher to overcome all the loneliness and emptiness.
I need to pray and I need to feel His presence in me.

I am waiting for the wonderful plans in my life.
Those dreams of live high and those desires that are not fulfilled yet...
I am pretty certain everything will come right in place when my God says so...

I heard some voices are shouting I am not good enough; I am not Alexander the Great; thus I am limited.
But the assurance of faith and peace overcomes it all...
Thanks be to God for the great parents that never fail to show me their unconditional love.
For the great teacher and friends that teaches me how to love and live a selfish life.
And thanks to the job leaves my eyes wide open to see the world and its beauty...
I am ready for every new tasks, every new challenges and every new problems that would shake my faith.
But God saves the day!!!

And I am saved by His grace!!!
I wanna live high, live mighty, live righteously and that my life would become a testimony of How great the Father love is.
And when I have abundant; I would be the blessings for the poor and the courage for the weak.
I am a child of God and will always be...

I love me and I will love others as much as how I love me!!!

Thanks God!

MY 14th FebruaRy 2010

HEY!
Here I go again..
Second day in Milano; started it with a big hearty breakfast at Doubletree Hotel Restaurant.
I had pineapple yoghurt, scramble eggs, turkey sausages, bacon, muffin, bread rolls and omelette with ham and cheese.
Am sure you can't imagine how big my stomach is; in order to contain those food.
But again...I did it well... I had cappuccino and complete my meal with grapefruit juice.

I took a slow walk to the tram stop just outside the hotel.
I made my way to DUOMO with 2 nice colleagues.
The temperature was about 8 degree celc; comfortable weather for me.
Cloudy and gloomy but in the absence of wind presence :)

Being the first time to Milan, I was very excited to see how DUOMO looks like and not to forget to browse through my shopping agenda.

DUOMO was magnificent!!!!
4 thumbs up and still counting...

Here is a lil info about DUOMO....
Milan's Duomo is the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world: only Seville Cathedral is larger (and St. Peter's Basilica doesn't count because it's not a cathedral).
Milan Cathedral is 157 meters long and 40,000 people can fit comfortably within.





The Duomo of Milan blurs the distinction between Gothic and neo-Gothic, for the Gothic west front was begun in 1616 and completed 200 years later. Only in its details does it reveal its Baroque and Neo-Classical date. From 1900 some of the less Gothic details of the facade were replaced in a true Gothic style, to designs of Giuseppe Brentano.



The roofline dissolves into openwork pinnacles that are punctuated by a grove of spires, topped with statues that overlook the city. The main spire is 109 meters high. These can all be investigated up close on a breathtaking walk on the roof.

The huge building is made of brick faced with marble from the quarries that Gian Galeazzo Visconti donated in perpetuity to the cathedral chapter.

I was a amazed at how great God is.
Thanks for the wisdom and knowledge for humankind to be able to build such a magical building!

"What a wonder it is! So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate, so airy, so graceful!" --Mark Twain

It's valentine's day today so BACI (perugina) has got some photo booth or couple; it looks like some photo contest to me tho' seeing the facts that people are lining up and waiting for their turn to take picture.



Let me show you what i've got today!

This LV Damier Graphite Reversible Belt is not belong to me.
My relative asked me if I could get one for him; coz its definitely worth of money getting it in italy. Anyway I got it and he would definitely thank me for that! Its worth 390 euro >.<

I did not have the intention to buy more clothes and more pants and more dresses and more shoes anymore! (keep my fingers crossed) hehehe.... but when I saw this navvy blue cropped pants; am in love in it and again I break my promises to myself.
Well...its a treat on valentine's day!!! (arrghhh...another excuses again; but just this one please!)

That's all about today; its 4pm local time; am gonna rest well and sleep well coz I have to work tomorrow!!!
My sleeping beauty is the most important after all...

So I wish everybody enjoy the festive celebration and I Hope St. Valentine send his cupid to bring love to everyone!!!

God bless you... Have a great time!!!!

Enjoy

Reunion Dinner

I am in milano right now!

Feeling sad and blue coz my folks are having reunion dinner at home with family; whilst i am here with strangers that I barely know for a day.

Thanks God for his protection and guardian angel that I arrived safely and what a bunch of great people I am working with.

So here was I; unpacked; washed up; got connected to the internet for an hour before I slept.

I got up at nearly 3pm (milan GMT+1) and went down to the lobby to meet colleagues at 6pm.

We went to this italian restaurant nearby and had a great great time.

Jokes, laughter and happiness color the atmosphere at the restaurant.

It was 15 of us altogether and the 4 of us shared fruiti di mare, lobster linguini, rocket salad salami pizza and tiramisu.

I had lemon soda for the drink; I regretted that I didn't snap a picture of it.

Well... It feels like family; even when you are at your utmost loneliness sharing a great fun over the meal together.

Thank God my reunion dinner was done pretty well and I had a great time!!

Mommy must have cooked plenty of nice food at home; imagining my siblings having the meal and great conversation made me blue.
Trust me, I would definitely go back home for chinese new year in 2011.
Mom and Daddy...I really miss you guys alot!!!!

Well...GONG XI FAT CHOI GUYS!!!!

and yea...sad to say this...but HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!!

Have a great celebration with loved ones!!!!

WILKOMMEN 2010

Hi there...
Its been ages since the last time I blogged in here.

Time flies and Its 2010 now.

2009 has been a great year; full of love, tears, laughter, adventures and challenges.
Flash back I could remember how I celebrated new year 2009; I went to london with yanna in january; bought my very first chanel 2.55.



The memorable Valentine's day where i cooked my 'most delicious' spaghetti; completed with moet&chandon champagne and had it with sandy.
I could also remember I went back to medan(my boyfriend's hometown) on the third day of CNY and had fun there.




Oh yea...I remember we took star cruise to the high sea; in total 12 people were there including me and darling.


Then...I celebrated my birthday together with sandy's on the 21st of march 2009.







We had sooo much fun back then.
Everyone dressed in retro; gimme a glimpse of 70's in 2009.

I could also remember I went to frankfurt with yanna (again...) in march; went to hiedelburg and bought soo many long champ bags in town.





I went to tokyo and los angeles in april and there I had trauma of doing the same flight.
Thanks to Jady, Melvin, Daphne and Jie,,,We had soo much fun taking pics inside the bathtub..haha:)




Kristy,Wilfred and Chintia came to Singapore to visit me in june.





I went to Paris in July with Sha and Chris and We managed to find Coastes; the hottest bar in town=D



I went to PERTH for five days in August.




I really had a great time with my bro, Raymond, Tim and EJ.
MAn...They are nice people...I really wish I could go there again one day!!!

Whats up in september???
Humphh...I remember now! I was in Seoul; with lovely won Jang..


We really had a great time..man...I am so in love with Seoul.

I went to HONGKONG and MACAU in ocTober.
With daddy, uncle kun an and my besties, annie.






We spent 4 days; well...its 3 and a half days to be exact; that includes visiting macau, disneyland, ladies market, causeway bay, central, watched symphony of light and shopping around in nathan road.
We are really good to have been to so many places within 3 and a half days.
And of course I went to Egypt for the 2nd time in October too in which I've shared in my previous blog.

Talking about November, all I could remember was my Japan trip with my love, danny, danny's mom and auntie siu lie.
I was grateful for God to have bless me with good people in my life.




I have enjoyed the tokyo trip so much and I hope there are many more outings together in time to come.

Well I can't remember clearly where was I in december; all I can remember was the time when I had the best spare ribs in amsterdam on Xmas eve.

I had the nicest pancake on 24th afternoon and Xmas is gloomy; I had Indonesian food with andy.






WOW....I am amazed at myself that I can recall all these memories.
Time flies and it never come back.
Sad to say I am turning 25 this year.
I hope the year 2010 is gonna be the best year yet!!!

I am sure God will bless me with good people, more knowledge, wisdom and understanding towards Him, my family, myself, Friends and Life.


I am welcoming 2010 with happy heart; full of love, peace and joy!!!

Lets see whats in store for 2010....
