My idol for the past 11 years finally performed live in front of me on 16Jun12! It was probably the best day in my life and I got so high, regardless what others will comment about them! <3<br />
<br />
Here is the video whereby I waited for their arrival on 15Jun12 in Changi...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was seated during the concert and hence could not get a lot of excellent shots (note to self: got to start investing in a digital SLR) but seeing them performing live was out of the world! Love every moment of it, though I could not understand what were they talking about in Korean but I laughed anyway (another note to self: got to learn Korean, for real).<br />
<br />
It happened like a dream but I still hope to see them again! <3Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-12614583341684583722011-10-27T00:32:00.000+08:002011-10-27T00:32:14.140+08:00Love. K-pop.<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On 27 September 2011, first day of Singapore's 2011 Formula Race, City Hall attracted a lot of young ladies</span></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">, most of them with the intention to watch GD & T.O.P and Seungri to perform on stage live at 11pm that night. I was one of them! Hate to admit it but it was worth the wait though it all began from 1pm! It was a real long day ahead. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lorraine and I got the wrist bands to be in the enclosed area in front of the stage. Even though we managed to snare a good spot in front of the stage at 7pm, it nearly killed the both of us to wait till 11.15pm. You can only imagine all the screaming when they appeared. First with Seungri performing "Strong Baby", "What Can I Do" and "VVIP". GD & T.O.P then appeared and performed "Oh Yeah!", "High High" and "Bokkigayo". Finally the three of them reappeared and performed the last track of the night "How Gee". </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Even though Taeyang and Daesung were unable to make it but it was still good to see the others live on stage despite the long wait. I was right in front of the stage, could see them really clearly and I will not deny that Seungri and T.O.P are really good looking chaps! Okay, someone please pinch me already! Some people only look good in pictures or videos as they have been edited but this really proved something. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I only have a video of their performance (video to be uploaded, oops!) and some pictures of the pre-performances, obviously taken when we were so bored of waiting... </span><br />

Don't worry! </span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-65770658682534735142011-10-26T22:57:00.004+08:002011-10-26T23:15:15.966+08:00Love. Food.<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the month of October 2011, I have been out and about exploring good food with my colleagues. Here are some of the places we had been to:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. <u><b>Hong Kah Food Court in Jurong West</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? You may reach there by taking bus 335 from Jurong East bus interchange. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is so great about it? You should look for the porridge served with steamed chicken plus a generous serving of soy sauce + sesame oil. The porridge is very smooth and the chicken is delicious! I have only been there once and yet to have the second opportunity to go back. Food costs around SGD 6-7, serving for two. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? Do not order the iced desserts from the stall run by young adults (i.e. around 20+ of age), they do not know what they are doing. Portioning was not good to expect people to go back for round two. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2.<u><b> Hong Xin Restaurant in Chinatown</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? Get off from Chinatown MRT station and walk for around 10 minutes? Okay, not really specific, I totally understand. But you can see the where about it is from <a href="http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/red_star_restaurant/">here</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is so great about it? Great dim sum served using push carts. All food served was finger licking good! This place is usually very popular, despite located in Level 5 or 7 (my memory is definitely killing me) and you have to be there as early as 8am, else you will have to queue. I was there with three friends of mine and we had a great time talking despite the noise around us. You have to try most of the dim sum served, from siew mai, har kau, phoenix claws, pork ribs, lau sa pau (steamed buns with custard + salted egg yolk fillings), lotus pau (made in a pig shape), lo mai kai to its great dessert, mango + tofu or durian + tofu! We had chrysanthemum tea throughout our lunch! We spent around SGD25 per pax.</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? The mango pamelo isn't the greatest and I did not really like the roasted suckling too! Other than that, just be there early to avoid queues, especially over weekends! </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. <u><b>Frog Leg Porridge at Lorong 9 Geylang</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? Alight at Aljunied MRT station, walk past CPA building and at the major traffic light junction, turn right and walk all the way till you find Lorong 9. It starts operating at 4.30pm till late. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is so great about it? The plain porridge served with frog leg cooked with soy sauce and dash of chilli. Do have your porridge served with gravy from the frog leg! It is the best thing ever! We spent around SGD 15 per pax as we had about 6 frogs altogether but one big pot of plain porridge. We also had the beef hor fun from the restaurant next door. To be honest, I do not recommend you to take both frog leg and beef hor fun at the same time as you will be unable to decide which one and better. Eventually you will decide that frog leg is best. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? It may get late, and heading back to the MRT station (if you are walking) isn't a great sight. Well, we know what Geylang is famous for. Just do not be alone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. <u><b>Sushi Tei Japanese Restaurant</b></u> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? They have branches in Paragon (Orchard), Vivocity and some other places. I have been to the one in Paragon twice. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is so great about it? PLEASE try out its baked prawn with mayonnaise and cheese sauce over it. We had the large ones which cost SGD 10 each but trust me, you will feel out of the world with every single bite you take. We had brought our German colleagues there and ordered this, they could not stop praising it! Another option will be its baked scallop covered with similar sauce, it is equally good but prawn is still the best! </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have been to the Brunei's leading Japanese restaurant a lot of times and only came to realize that it cannot be compared to Sushi Tei. You get more variety of cooking style to the food here, instead of the normal teriyaki. We also had the Phoenix roll covered with mango, salmon skin (another goodie), and some salmon steak. Desserts were equally great! Both of the times we dined there, it averaged around SGD35-40 per pax.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? Well, no reservation of seats may be considered a bleh. But other than that, all is good! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5. <u><b>Sembawang Seafood Restaurant</b></u></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? We took a shuttle van there. But perhaps you can get there by shuttle bus service provided by Sembawang Plaza from Sembawang MRT station. This restaurant is right opposite to the plaza entrance. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is great about it? Perhaps I can say cheaper seafood, it was around SGD 35 per pax (there were around 11 of us). We had crabs (cooked in black pepper, chilli and salted egg), curry fish head, butter prawns and some vegetables. I love the crabs! Not because it was especially good but simply because due to my love for crabs! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? We were there for dinner and we had to dine in candlelight because its generator kept failing. Other than that, it was okay considering the amount we were paying for seafood! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">6. <u><b>Toh Guan Food Court, Jurong East</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How to get there? I was there by car with my colleagues and I could not find the exact location of it. This may need some time... All I know it is located somewhere past IMM in Jurong East. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What is so great about it? Look for the stall which sell bah kut teh and fish head curry! I am really not a big fan of fish head curry but this is great served with rice. It costs around SGD9 per pax, a big pot costs SGD18. Do share it with someone as the portion is quite big! I did not try the bah kut teh but maybe I will try it out some other time! When you purchase drinks, the uncle will give you a free packet of tissue. Sounds good? :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bleh? A little too far to be reached by walking alone, unless I find other sources. This is basically just typical Singapore food court environment, so do not have high expectation of the ambiance. Well, food is good - I guess that's all that matters! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Bon Appetit to all! <3</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;">Happy 26th Birthday to me! Not going to lie about it, after all age is just a number and as long as you are healthy and happy, what else matter? Okay, obviously not going to lie because the candles have already clearly indicated my age. It was not easy to blow out the candles, they keep increasing each year and I am a little more out of breath each year! Not forgetting to thank my lovely colleagues who made my first birthday in Singapore much more tolerable. Feel really loved, by all eleven of them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">A couple of months have passed since my last updated. No I have not been busy, I have been a bummer. It had always been work and classes. Nope, no revision has been done yet especially for the fact that my exam is around 6 weeks away? I remember marking it on my calendar earlier this morning, as of 1st Nov, there will be 48 days! Oh no!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">In a glimpse of an eye, I have been in Singapore for 10 months! How time flies! I have not seen my family for 7 months, I miss them like crazy, especially home cooked meals! I do not even know whether I can still drive properly when I get back. </span><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Not forgetting to welcome my new nephew, Ryan Chin! He came to Earth on 25th July 2011, so that means I have yet to meet him to date but I love him already!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">How has life to me these days? Well, there had been some ups and downs at work and in life throughout these months. At work, most of my existing job scope had been assigned to our new supervisor, so I am basically a major backup of everyone, though I have not acquired skills in certain area yet due to unexpected circumstances. A colleague had to work part time for almost three months, so I had to back her up to do payables (not the most interesting job but it requires less thinking). So every time every one else is sick or on leave, I have to take over most of their tasks and I am left with "less thinking required" job scope. For sure I was a little upset over these whole situation in the beginning, but you just got to adapt to changes and come to think of it, as long as I still get paid and since these tasks are not too difficult.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">I am going home in January 2012 for around 10 days! Yes... I am really looking forward to that. Although it will be a long journey home. Before that, I have to face my exams! Boo-hoo!</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Another realization of life: </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">In a relationship with any human, regardless of gender, the pattern will always be the same. It starts off being great, you enjoy their companionship. But a couple of months down the road, s/he will start to irritate the heck out of you, and you will start to resent a little just to hang out with him/her. You also start to wonder what happened to the person you have known many months back. Well, is this called compromising? Even though the position I am in now is not relating to a man, but I actually had this feelings about compromising, to look past her "flaws" and our little disagreements. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">But really, with her judging me based on her own standards is not right. I have my own to be happy whenever I wish. I have my own right to like someone (as a person) even though I may not know him/her well. Why should I like or dislike one just because you like or dislike them? </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Today is a day off at work, just lazing at home feels great. Hey, I did my ironing alright. In addition to that, I had a good nap in the afternoon through the rainy day! Awesome! Yes, no revision involved, but I got the notes on my bed, with P1 Notes 8 flipped to page one. That's a big step, no? </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">An auditor is having his CPA exam in 2 weeks (one and a half by now?) - all the best to him! ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Till my next update, take care! </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">xoxo, Na!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">P.S. Looking forward to our company's D&D in about 1.5 weeks' time to be held in Shangri-La Hotel. Theme would be Singapore identity style. Too bad my mom is not here, so no one to sew baju kebaya for me. So I may end up there with my own dress. :) </span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-89431197232514296162011-06-12T17:00:00.000+08:002011-06-12T17:00:11.704+08:00Exam in Expo, Singapore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcDmy5vOX8L-0gbNFCjHSqA4BoWh6BX_Se5DLjgEbU8CaGrGv29u-P4jwTxZQZClEvo4UKDb3pu67Kqqru2o9Jj44iM6OIZLujy0iKHAncKQ6GZ9Xf_HUuSlxC9wtG06F07kKamVdatVu/s1600/IMG_1265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcDmy5vOX8L-0gbNFCjHSqA4BoWh6BX_Se5DLjgEbU8CaGrGv29u-P4jwTxZQZClEvo4UKDb3pu67Kqqru2o9Jj44iM6OIZLujy0iKHAncKQ6GZ9Xf_HUuSlxC9wtG06F07kKamVdatVu/s320/IMG_1265.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
This is my first time to sit for an ACCA exam overseas, outside of Brunei.<br />
<br />
To sit for an exam in Brunei, I have to take a 1hr 15min road trip to reach the capital. ACCA exam centre in Brunei is located in CfBT, Kianggeh in the capital of Brunei. Normally there will not be that many students taking the exams. Combination of CAT and ACCA, it will probably be 100 students (maximum) per day. The chief invigilator is a British woman, who appeared strict but she is quite sweet if you talk to her. Prior to every exams, she will read the rules & regulations set by ACCA via a mike. She has a voice which makes you feel calm. Usually there are around 3-4 other invigilators who are volunteers, I think. I sat for my exams there for quite a few years, and I always see the same faces of the few invigilators. The desk in the exam room is not very big - width is just enough for three A4 papers spread across the table. Floors are carpeted, hence you do not hear footsteps from all sorts of different shoes walking past you, which can get annoying when you are trying to focus on your exams.<br />
<br />
ACCA exams in Singapore are held in Expo, which is at the far east, and a stop before Changi Airport if you take the train. I stay in the North West of Singapore, so I opted to travel to Expo by train and it took me a good one hour to reach there too. Though the travelling time was quite similar to the time I had to travel from KB to BSB in Brunei, but most of the time I had to stand in the train as there were no seats. So... go figure. Upon reaching Expo, you will feel the chillness of the blasting air conditioning in the entire Expo. I was warned about taking a jacket with me, but I thought since I was wearing a long sleeved pullover, it should not be bad but boy, was I wrong!<br />
<br />
The hall will only be opened to students at 2.15pm. Prior to that, you can see a lot of students seated outside the hall, on the floor, on the chairs, in the restaurants nearby with notes in their hands. It did not make me comfortable, as this brought the stress tension higher up. Usually I will not go through my notes before my exams anymore. Firstly because my brain is already very tired from all the hardcore studying, and secondly I need to relax my mind before heading into the exam hall. But in the end, as I was there pretty early, I got my notes out to re-read them. Nothing too bad I guess. There were around 1,000 plus of students that day, combination of ACCA and CAT. So, you can imagine the proportion between Brunei's students and Singapore's students.<br />
<br />
When I got into the hall, and even before that, I did not see any familiar face at all. I did not see any of my classmates at all! This is different from Brunei. Because in Brunei, you get to see your few but nice classmates and encourage one another. Once in the hall, it was cold cold cold all the way! The floor was cemented, hence you hear a lot of footsteps and the chief invigilator who was giving instructions throughout the 45min before the exams had a very sharp voice. It did not have the soothing effect which makes you feel relaxed. There were students who were having 2 hours paper that day, and when she called out to students who were finishing their exams after 2 hours, it was kind of distracting.<br />
<br />
During the entire exam, I could feel the coldness on my hands and on my face. Thank goodness the exam paper kept me busy throughout. The funniest part was that, when I realized I only had one hour left and I still have some questions not covered yet (as I skipped them to gain the easier points), I actually felt warm, rolled up my sleeves and started to scribble like crazy. I managed to finish my paper 10min before 6.15pm, I do not wish to comment on how I did, as the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Imagine I thought that my mock exam paper was easy, and in the end what happened? I flunked! As I left, there were again a lot of people in the hall. It is definitely not something which I am used to.<br />
<br />
Just as I have expected, I did not see any familiar face even after the exams. So I could not share my exam experience with anyone. It made me kind of sad. It made me reminiscence the days in Brunei when I could discuss with happiness or disappointments with my fellow classmates. Though there were only a handful of them, but I believe in quality over quantity. <br />
<br />
I took the train home, alone again. Though I was happy that my exam is finally over (only one paper what, nothing too glamorous about it), my mind and body were tired and I had to stand in the train all the way from Expo to North East. Normally, my parents would be the ones sending me to and fro my exam hall in Brunei. They would make sure I had lunch prior to leaving the house. Of course, I would always get a hotdog pastry from the bakery under our exam center in Brunei. I do not believe my lunch could possibly last me till 6.15pm, especially with a range of gruesome brain juice squeezing in between.<br />
<br />
So that was my experience taking my ACCA exam in Expo, Singapore. I definitely hope it will get better, referring to my adjustment. I am being comparable which I know is not nice, especially now that I am here in Singapore and not Brunei. I should accept whatever there is. At the end of the day, it is not about the process getting to the goal, it is the outcome which matters more. Okay, this is a little conflicting about my opinion, once, that the process of getting to the goal is more important compared to reaching your destination. Oops!<br />
<br />
All the best who are still having their exams next week. God bless! :)<br />

Exam came and gone in an eye blink. Although prior to that, I was crazy counting down the days, stressing myself out and procrastinating, which was bad and unhealthy - especially I only had to handle one paper F9 this term. Does this mean that I have to do better this time compared to the previous sittings when I was juggling with two papers in a go? Yes, I better. I had my reason to stress out, imagine failing your mock exam. Though there was no specific grade. But a fail is still a fail, hence it was my wake up call. Result will only be out in end of Aug, will update then! Till the release of results, kindly pray for me! :) <br />
<br />
Next up is my Professional level with 5 papers. My plan is to take up P1 which is the 100% theory paper (something like my F4 Corporate Law) this December by self-studying and complete the other 4 by 2012! This will require more effort than ever. But I believe, when there is a goal, there is a way and most importantly, determination and dedication play important roles too! (Say is always easier than done!) I will allow myself to have fun till end of June, then in July, I will start my first attempt in self studying. <br />
<br />
Life - it had been quiet. Things had not been easy between the landlady and I, I got ticked off on this day when she went a little too far on her nagging, over a vacuum flask. Previously I had been patient with her, thinking that if I were in her shoes, perhaps I couldn't do it any better too. Then that time she went overboard. Yes, my parents did teach me to be respectful to others, but they did not teach me to become an idiot and get stepped over by people who whack me over unreasonable things! I have a limit to my patience too! Do not worry, I am talking to her again. No point holding grudge. Other than that, I was pretty stressed out with exam, and now that it is over, there were supposed to be a lot of things awaiting for me to be done, but I am sitting at home, relaxing. You got to let me do it, as I got sick during exam preparation and the doctor said I lacked rest and gave me Vitamin C! ^^V<br />
<br />
Work - I am officially a permanent staff of LANXESS with effective from 1st July 2011! Cheers for me!! I can stop counting down to my months left in LANXESS. Ecstatic? Yes, definitely! Esther and Siew Eng had left - which is kind of sad. Especially for Esther's case. She was like my "shi jie" (senior) and taught me so much. But there are times when I got to stand up on my own and be strong. I have a lot of things to get done on the coming Monday. I was back in the office last Friday after my exams on Thursday, my weak body and tired mind did not allow me to be really efficient. Especially now that I have taken over Esther's work, which requires quite a little of logical thinking. Remember: what doesn't kill me makes me a stronger person! I have definitely been through worst! A little of hardwork and dedication will get me further ahead. I love the fact that now that exam is over, I can focus more on my work.<br />
<br />
Oh no, I need to lose weight. I have been eating lots of junks at home, which was definitely unhealthy, during my exam period. I could not be bothered to go to the nearest food court nearby (which is 5min walk away) during my revision period. Imagine: having to get dressed, put on sunscreen to grab some decent food and by the time I get home, I will need to nurture my motivation to study again. Totally not good, especially for a superb procrastinator like me. Let's hope that I will get my butt out of the room later to jog... let's try to make it a 3 times per week thing, shall we? And Quaker's instant oatmeal for dinner? Does it sound good?<br />
<br />
All the best to me in whatever I do...<br />
Lots of love to all, and especially to my family whom I miss dearly!<br />
(Yes, I still get homesick!!!)<br />
<br />
P.S. My mom is taking her citizenship examination by end of June 2011. It will be an exam in Malay, inclusive of summaries, proverbs, composition, comprehension and poems. I wish her all the best! Hugs, ma!! You are the greatest mom, you are doing this for us, I know! Hope you get through this! Love you, Ma!!!Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-21792532454387738222011-04-10T01:40:00.000+08:002011-04-10T01:40:26.205+08:00Sharing is caringGetting myself a broadband modem is a bad idea. Being in my own room nowadays, I can just hide away here and have my personal time. Wish I could devote more of my time to my exams which is coming up in 2 months' time. Of course, I do not wish to screw it up at all but I am kind of lost with the current lecturer. Kind of miss the good lecturers specially selected for us students back in BICPA. Guess I have to rely on myself much. This also tells me that I should never ever ever take ACCA as a child play!<br />
<br />
At the meantime, some sharing is caring moments. My new love? Big Bang!<br />

There is this gentleman, S, whom I adore.<br />
I do not know him well enough yet.<br />
And perhaps to him, I am just one of the passers-by (oh yes, as I have to do that everyday!)<br />
I know I should not rush into things.<br />
I know if he is meant to be mine, no matter what happens, he will be.<br />
I always tell myself that I have to be bolder to approach him.<br />
Or at least smile whenever I see him...<br />
But I am so shy...<br />
I get so tongue tied whenever I see him<br />
My smile must have looked as if I was forced or so.<br />
If you ever read this, please do not mistaken me as being as unfriendly.<br />
You see, my heart, my brain and my body language do not coordinate well when you are around.<br />
My heart must have been in my mouth then!<br />
<br />
I am so dumb struck on what I should do next.<br />
I do not want to waste anymore time<br />
Only to find out that some ladies just took his heart<br />
Only to find out that I never took the effort to get to know him<br />
Only to find out that he does not know how I feel<br />
<br />
Wow! I blushed just by typing all these.<br />
What is "ladies should not try so hard"?<br />
What is "let guys make the first move all the time?"<br />
<br />
Heart thumping in my mouth again!Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-17221736197555365352011-02-10T22:24:00.000+08:002011-02-10T22:24:25.842+08:00New Year and New Beginning for Nana<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdvI_xxX0Tpp1UheaOgdTfs2UXCb49KtWUft79ozYQCL-w5UPzqBKOt5w8RDeTWH7Z1gFVg-1FWCT0iAJ9rx167DlXF61QccVWr1q8eTkmgSzJ0X7KT-rZt0hE0Skp9Vhut6c4ywyXBYn/s1600/SDC16957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOdvI_xxX0Tpp1UheaOgdTfs2UXCb49KtWUft79ozYQCL-w5UPzqBKOt5w8RDeTWH7Z1gFVg-1FWCT0iAJ9rx167DlXF61QccVWr1q8eTkmgSzJ0X7KT-rZt0hE0Skp9Vhut6c4ywyXBYn/s320/SDC16957.jpg" width="308" /></a></div> <br />
In my office's calendar last year, at the little corner next to 31 Dec 2010, I wrote: "Welcome to 2011 where all dreams come true!"<br />
<br />
This came really late, we are in the mid of February 2011 and here I am saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" and not forgetting the ongoing "HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR" too! I hope everyone out there will have a blast in the White Bunny year! Before that, do not forget to enjoy the warmth of being able to get together with family and friends during the festive season, savoring great food along the way and not forgetting, collecting traditional ang pau (if you are still eligible, that is!)<br />
<br />
I have been busy since my last update - handing over my work, packing and finally left the place where I am so familiar with on 1st January 2011! I cried and had a heavy heart when I left. It was not easy but I know there shall be great excitements ahead!<br />
<br />
Despite everything else, including cross picking someone's luggage in LCCT, Kuala Lumpur on 1st January 2011 ended up not having proper luggage for 3 days in Singapore, life has been great so far. Yes, I do miss home at times, but work and classes have been keeping me busy. If I told you I have not done any revision so far, despite attending all the classes, you should not be surprised. <br />
<br />
I basically fell in love with my work and company. I enjoy working in a big company, even though it naturally has a lot of policies, which I would personally prefer. My colleagues are great and I think I am able to catch up pretty quickly. Though I am under a year contract, I am trying to work for more than I am expected of, so that I can become an asset to the company. Once I get through that, I will be standing on my toes less. Time is ticking, I have only 10 1/2 months left? <br />
<br />
I went home for a really short break over the long weekend due to Chinese New Year. I should have taken a longer break as I felt that I did not have sufficient time for everyone who loves me. It was definitely felt good to be home again. Nothing beats your own bed, your own car, your own toilet and your own TV! It was a busy time at home too, as we had an open house on the 2nd day of CNY. Do not bother to ask me how many people came visiting? It was definitely close to 100 from 12pm to 8pm alone! It was so exhaustive! In midst of all that, I still went for "Shaolin Temple" in the cinema. <br />
<br />
All the best to me, and to you all too, in the New Year where all dreams come true! <br />
Remain positive always ;)Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-44529909726121718962010-12-17T10:20:00.000+08:002010-12-17T10:24:01.718+08:00prayer answered<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikFMGKzD0tgA9NltRIHpTiqV_2jI2l3UoQBAjyRbRQTpRbF43xxIBAWroJl04ddEhXljMsHRzC6lIMQgZiaZWQbrhgupUvuiyDp8zd0aBWLf2e1dyrTK8Eib1j8TNrA3gjrHvqe62e9tp/s1600/buddha.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjikFMGKzD0tgA9NltRIHpTiqV_2jI2l3UoQBAjyRbRQTpRbF43xxIBAWroJl04ddEhXljMsHRzC6lIMQgZiaZWQbrhgupUvuiyDp8zd0aBWLf2e1dyrTK8Eib1j8TNrA3gjrHvqe62e9tp/s320/buddha.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I haven't updated for so long! Oh gosh! Yes, life had been pretty chaotic since I left for Singapore. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My trip was pretty decent, I did not manage to go to Universal Studios but there were some serious shopping and walking, till my legs nearly died! Haha! I also made some big decisions when I was there. So I have decided to move to Singapore to study and work. Looking back, I know I have whined about life, trying to get away and doing something I deserve, and now, it seems like my prayer has been answered. I feel very blessed for my prayer being answered. I have not been a very good person but I worked my arse off for the past 6 years to get to where I am today. So I guess it is about being at the right place at the right time with the right people, but at the end of the day, it is still up to us to recognize these traits! </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyone who knows me well enough would have known that I always wanted to get away from where I am. Not trying to get away from my family or friends, but to have a bigger opportunity awaiting for me out there. Remaining here in Brunei, I will always be restricted to what I love to do, people who grew up in Brunei and holding a green identity card can understand me. I never complained much outfront because I am very lucky to get jobs but deep down in my heart, do you think that I am not envious of my other friends who get much decent jobs, with obviously better pays?</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For the past month I had been keeping myself busy with so much things going on in my head - ticketing, college enrollment, resignation, things to bring & etc. Yes, I am an extreme planner! Haha! Because I believe those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Oh well, despite all plannings, there are barriers once in a while, hence I have to replan my things. Not forgetting my exams which took place earlier this month. I only began my revision about a week before my exams. Prior to that, I did not have the motivation at all! Trust me, it is not cool at all to do last minute studying! I sat for my law and performance management papers. I do not dare to comment whether I did well or not, but seriously I hope I will pass, as I do not wish to go through the same notes again! Sweat! Results will only be out on 22 February 2011. Aah~ that will be a long wait!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the meantime, I sincerely welcome my beloved godson to the world. He was born on 12 December 2010! I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. After that, every time I saw him, he will either be busy breastfeeding or sleeping! So, I guess the next time I see him next year, he will be all giggly! Awww~ so cute!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I will be moving to a whole new environment soon, tentatively in 2 weeks' time! Wow... seriously? There are mixed feelings though. Excited and happy because I am about to have a new life, heavy in heart because I will be away from my family, my darling niece and nephew, my godson, my room and my car!! I miss my Hayden and Shane all the time even though they are only 2hrs drive away, and sometimes they are being too noisy, so imagine a 2hrs flight away? They will always be asking my parents where am I when my parents visit them! I was hugging my niece goodbye the other day, my heart was heavy! I know I still have 2 weeks to spend with my family but it is inevitable that I will miss them so dearly, esp Hayden and Shane, they just grow up so fast! And Shane will be in Year 1 next year and Hayden will be in Kindergarten! I guess I will miss all these special moments! </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is all for the best! Miss you all! Love!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">P.S. Will be home for Chinese New Year! Hooray!!! </span></div>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-75213098649212925992010-10-29T15:26:00.000+08:002010-10-29T15:32:35.177+08:00Just Because<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I am tired. I read back to my previous post and I wonder whether I am happy or not. In one of my earlier October post, I said that guilt is chomping me from within because I felt that I have not been a good girl friend. So now I wonder whether the problem lies with me or with him?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">If I do not ask how his day was, he will say that I do not ask him how it went. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">If I ask him, he will tell me that he does not feel like talking about it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">So, am I supposed to ask him or just keep mum about it?</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I told him about my cancellation of hotel booking in Singapore. He said that it is better that I do not update him anymore.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">But when I made my first booking in Balesteir, he asked me why I never consulted him before making a reservation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">So, am I supposed to tell him everything or not?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Last year I told him I wanted to go to Philippines in Oct, he told me it will be rainy season and Philippines is not a very safe place. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">When I was sitting for my June papers, I told him I needed a good break after my exams. He said he will bring me to some where off Bintulu, which never happened, if you need to know. I checked out this place - Borneo Rainforest, about an hour drive from Miri and suggested to him, but he said that for sure I cannot stand the mosquitoes there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I told him I want to go to Langkawi and Penang. He asked me why? For sure I will not enjoy my time in Langkawi because it will be very crowded and in addition to that, Penang food is not good. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I told him I want to go to Bali - he gave me a funny look. He must have commented something bad about it too, which I have forgotten. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I told him a friend of mine is going to Taiwan soon, he said it is the rainy season. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He then finally said it to me, if I wish to go traveling, I should just go with my sisters. With the reason being that maybe he is too old for this, though he enjoyed traveling when he was younger. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He said that it is up to me to choose the place to eat, since it will be a belated birthday dinner with me, so I told him that I want crab from Miri. He paused for a moment, and nodded. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I am always driving around getting him lunch and/or dinner, regardless of the weather and of my health condition. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">We are forever eating in front of the television. Normally he will finish his food faster than me, he will light up his cigarette in front of me, while I am still eating my food. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I am forever the one preparing him hot drinks, cold drinks and whatsoever. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He always tells me that he wants to send me off or pick me up whenever I am going abroad, I fell for this trap countless time, because I know that he will not do it. Always something has to come up. So my trip to Singapore next week, I never expect him to do it, so I never ask him. That was why I chose flight from BSB instead of from Miri. He then tries to set up the same ol' trap for me to jump in again. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">He knows very well that my flight will only reach the LCCT in KL, which is not the same as KLIA, which has Burger King. He actually told me to take a bus, cab or public transport to go to KLIA to buy him some burgers from Burger King, since my flight from KL to Brunei will only leave at 1.30pm. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">I am really tired of all these. I am being treated like a dirt, scumbag, doing all the things I do not like and yet I do not get appreciated. In addition to all the things I have done above, I actually drove all the way to SPARK just to submit HIS job application form during lunch. He compensated me by cooking curry chicken for dinner, which he was showing me his face just cuz he could not reach me earlier, when I was home on the phone with an ex-colleague for half an hour. I did ask him repeatedly whether he was tired during the day or not, he said no and in the end, he gave me this crap. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Do I deserve this? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Why is that when he goes back to Singapore, he can drive his wife (ex-wife?) and kid to KL without complaining of being tired? While he can just tick off just at the slightest thing I do - it could be just a wrong way of conveying the message in my head, something I am not able to do. My heart feels so drop dead cold. I am forever making the effort to go over to his place, and hoping there will be this day when he will introduce me to his parents or godmother, at least. But it never happened. He never went to my house to meet my parents. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">When I see Emily & Andrew being together, I am envious because I do not get spoilt like that. I did not go through the lovey-dovey stage like them. I want that. I am just a 25 years old lady after all. I want to go somewhere with him where we can relax and have fun. But it seems like it will never happen. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Eating out with me is as if it is a biggest dread for him. We do not even eat in KB, unless it is in a remote place, and late at night. But with his colleagues, he can just join them every lunch and every tea break. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Deep down, I know he is not the right guy for me. Perhaps I am scared of being alone. I want to walk away from this so-called relationship, I really want to. Just because I am tired. </span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-49894844229513041162010-10-29T09:03:00.000+08:002010-10-29T09:08:03.559+08:00A Day Came & Gone<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRa70r92_X5z2ynsMWC2MVzO8E4Nq8kNraF4HnM3rbJ_NrxrpNItYmqAZOaqsme5Dj6VQSmIXEd3fCcpQAuFGJJKfVjP6FVAQCTWW2zAmF7bAMQ6v7Y-TQ7WZsPve0HWu9dL15ySQB2jkH/s1600/pinkcakebox.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRa70r92_X5z2ynsMWC2MVzO8E4Nq8kNraF4HnM3rbJ_NrxrpNItYmqAZOaqsme5Dj6VQSmIXEd3fCcpQAuFGJJKfVjP6FVAQCTWW2zAmF7bAMQ6v7Y-TQ7WZsPve0HWu9dL15ySQB2jkH/s320/pinkcakebox.JPG" width="284" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Happy Belated Birthday to me. It has almost been a week since I have turned 25! Okay, the picture says 50, but personally, I think that this cake is too glam for a 50-yo lady, but she may have that special preference, you never know. However I personally would not mind. Recently I have this fetish on pink: I have a pink LG Lollipop, pink boots ordered from G-market and I want a pink cake too. But it did not come. It just came and gone just as another day. I was dreading for it to come by because it made me feel kinda old (imagine... 25...), it is indicating that I have lived a quarter of a century! Yikes! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I did not do much on that day, however I received a lot of greetings & blessings from Facebook friends, a couple of friends from Australia. Perhaps it is the age thing, I only received 2 gifts this year: a lovely card from an MIA friend in Australia, so she is not so MIA after all and a practical gift, a bag hanger from a close friend. All the greetings put a smile across my face the whole day, while I just sat in front of the TV and spent my whole afternoon and night. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So another week came and gone by, I have not managed to do any of my revision as well. Ouch. I did touch my notes to refresh my memory for about one hour, in the midst of gastric pain. I suffered a terrible gastric pain for the past 2-3 days, and I finally went to the clinic to get some medication yesterday. The doctor told me that I am not supposed to take any tea, chocolate drink, spicy food & acidic food. She must be kidding right? That must be the saddest news. I did not ask whether that would be a permanent thing or a temporary stop, I guess I can try after the current gastric pain goes off. Some people just never learn their lessons eh. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I went to my boss' house last night for dinner to celebrate her achievement in getting some award from the Sultan earlier this week. I was the one who ordered the food with the caterer, and that was before the massive gastric evil came to me, hence most of the food were spicy. Oh yes, I love spicy. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There were:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">~ Vegetarian spring roll & deep fried chicken wanton as appetizer. Plus home made potato salad too.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">~ Fried rice as the staple food.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">~ Oven roasted whole lamb leg</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">~ Green curry chicken</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">~ Beverage: fruit punch, red wine, beer & brandy! (Heaven? Yes...)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There I was, not supposed to take any food which may upset my stomach but I still took a little portion of all the food listed above, and that includes the beverage too. Two of my colleagues and I stayed back after everyone has left, talking to my boss while savouring her alcohol supply. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So we talked about Lawas, Sarawak where one of a colleague is from, which led to Lawas Hot Spring. My colleague mentioned that to get to the hot spring, a 4WD will be needed, because the roads there are mainly meant for trucks carrying timber. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I asked, "Then what was the point of building a hot spring there, when they are not intending to fix the road?"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Suddenly I find eyes looking at me... my boss said, "They didn't built it there, it's out of nature..."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Okay... that was a little embarrassing! Haha... because I remember the Poring Hot Spring in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah has all these cemented bath with pipes and mini hill to turn it into a tourist attraction. No worries, I was never really good with Geography anyway! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">7 days countdown for me to go to Singapore! I know... I know... I should be revising! But still very excited about visiting Singapore, not about the shopping, but more about R&R... not forgetting food and Universal Studios! I hope my next R&R will be in Korea by next May (that means, savings!!) and Langkawi & Penang by next October... </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Till then, take care everyone. xoxo... </span></span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-17502746086267600202010-10-19T11:01:00.000+08:002010-10-19T11:09:04.344+08:00Mode: Complicated<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6FAq4YEdjVzZBV4KiQ9irO4OsDS1XgFAru8ubxp5T_VczQ97Tic9SKJRS8aI7XO7SshYe2KnW_ewKypAD68j3BFjt0-g3giL07KFCLe8jz_h4hyphenhypheneD9-R9JLBtlsn45iz33MdwRHdAuPv/s1600/black+&+white.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6FAq4YEdjVzZBV4KiQ9irO4OsDS1XgFAru8ubxp5T_VczQ97Tic9SKJRS8aI7XO7SshYe2KnW_ewKypAD68j3BFjt0-g3giL07KFCLe8jz_h4hyphenhypheneD9-R9JLBtlsn45iz33MdwRHdAuPv/s320/black+&+white.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Recently I am suffering from a lot of complications, as in emotional wise. I guess the exam stress is haunting me again, I am back to where I was in May - June 2010. </span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My exams is less than 2 months away. I want to do well for it, and I know I should start a study plan on it, slack less and work harder. But each time I reach home after work, I will feel tired. If I managed to open the books, I will feel like running away. If I fell asleep when I was supposed to do my revision, I will feel extremely guilty and I will keep reminding myself that I should revise that night but in the end the whole cycle repeats itself. </span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On the other hand, I am pretty excited about my Singapore trip. The trip was never meant to be a relaxing trip at the first place. Just because I screwed up my law paper, I have to give up on the revision class in Singapore. But still, I am pretty excited... from hotel reservation to the budget, relaxing, Universal Studios and etc... I have not managed to have a getaway for quite a while, especially since I needed one badly since my last June exams.</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have had enough fun over the last weekend from Emily's birthday party, but I am seriously having trouble disciplining myself to study, to think that "work harder now and play later". Do I think that I can get away with it? </span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To make life more complex, viewing from a bad side; to have a nice ice cream topping on my apple pie, viewing from a good side - I cannot get a guy out of my head. This is completely crazy. I do not even know him well enough but I like him enough to make me want to know him better. Screw those people who always say that girls shouldn't make the first move and crap, because in a way I am "listening" to this kind of advices. </span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I want to know him better but I think he does not seem keen... so I am backing away a little... because of my pride, I do not wish to be too pushy. Maybe, I am just thinking too much... Should I wait for God to make his arrangement or decision... Like, if it is meant to be, some day we will be together & etc... *rolled eyes*</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Really... in a confused state... do not like this at all... whatever test you are trying to put me through, you know I will survive through it but c'mon, just let it pass sooner. </span><br />

In addition to my previous post, I am suffering from toothache too. Hence I basically lost my appetite to eat, but I bought two bars of Cadbury chocolates. They're still sitting soundly in my fridge. I do not have to worry about big "rats" since my younger sister isn't home! Yes, she has the tendency to eat my stuff, if they lie around too long unattended. While savoring my things, she can take a picture of the precise moment using my camera, and later denying that she has anything to do with it (note: photo still not deleted from the camera).<br />
<br />
My toothache... I still haven't been to the dentist to get it checked out. It is quite a pain cuz my gum around the wisdom teeth is swelling, making eating troublesome. So these few days I have been eating quite a lot of porridge.<br />
<br />
Normally I'll only get the HK Style Porridge from our local restaurant, Wywy. It consists of small cuts of chicken breast, two fried wanton (meat dumplings - chicken), one mussel, a few cuts of century eggs (the preparer will only add them in as and when they like) and a generous amount of shredded carrots & gingers!! I love this porridge, it is quite delicious if not for the gingers getting in the way of my savoring moment, and not forgetting the fried garlic too!! Why do they like to put the fried garlic in? I had to remove them one by one. Price? It costs BND 3.50 - for the quantity and quality as mentioned, it is quite worth it.<br />
<br />
Last night I discovered another place, Tai Hua Restaurant along Jalan Pretty. They are selling quite a variety of porridge too. Don't get me wrong, Wywy has a variety too but so far I have only tried their HK Style Porridge. So last night I tried TH's Minced Pork with century egg porridge. Food is good, portion was more than I could finish which could be due to my loss of appetite. Price was B$ 3.00. Downside: It's fine if you dine in, but if you opt to take away, they'll wrap it in a clear plastic bag (note: not even some kind of white foam bowl like what Wywy would do).<br />
<br />
Then again, I am not a very fussy eater. So I went back to them again to order Seafood Porridge during lunch today! It's good!! Fair amount of fish fillet, prawns, squids... I was in heaven. I didn't ask to add in century egg because I brought 1 century egg from home and added in myself. Save me B$1.00! Haha. Actual pricing for seafood porridge is B$3.00. Portion was same as the minced pork porridge with century egg!<br />
<br />
If I still do not have the appetite to eat anything solid for dinner later, I will be going for their fish porridge. Oh gosh~ how I miss the days when I had fish porridge at the hawker centers nearby Singapore HDB flats! Cheap and crazily good! I won't mind going there to have breakfast everyday! And not forgetting, the fish porridge Simon brought me to when we were in KK two years back! Normally I would've avoided anything fishy, like fish soup (with the exception to the ones my dad make), but that porridge was really good. Too bad my stomach only had enough space for one bowl. <br />
<br />
Looks like I have already made up my mind what to have for dinner later.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have </span>been sick since last week. 7days - if I must specify the number of days. It started off with a weird numbness on my chest when I was in the gym on Friday evening. Being sick was the last thing in my mind, I thought I was just out of breathe on the thread mill. The virus advanced itself on Saturday and by night time, my body felt so heavy that I just had to hit the bed early after taking some medications left over from previous doctor visits. My fever was on and off, cough getting more severe as each day passed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I went back to work on Monday, still hit the gym on the same evening but it was one heck of a long day for me. The evil grumpy witch within me kept lashing out at whoever was in my way, or did the slightest thing to annoy me. The heaviness made me feel like perhaps crying will relieve all the pain inside. But no... I didn't shed a tear. I invited Uncle for dinner at Buc's because I really need a time out, to have a peace of mind. On the other hand, he kept reminding me that he had a lot of work to be done, and he had a long day, yadee yadaa... but why didn't he just say so when I offered him dinner at the first place? It's okay, I managed to get my way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I had Black Pepper Chicken Chop served with mashed potatoes, grilled corn on cob & several pieces of green cuts. Uncle had Rack of Lamb with Black Pepper sauce. His side dishes are basically the same as mine. We had Baked Oysters as appetizer. They were finger licking good. Would've been better if the oysters didn't shrink so much during the baking process. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Tuesday came by = deadline for my work to be completed. Body status = more sick than ever!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I went to work still, finished off all my work by 11am and rushed to the doctors. I was attended at this "Flu Clinic" whereby the doctor looked like he couldn't care less. He gave me some cough syrup and paracetamol. I took the rest of the day off, spent them sleeping. I really slept a lot throughout all these time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Wednesday came, body status = still feverish!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I surrendered, I couldn't go to work at all in the morning. My head felt as if a train ran over it. I looked for my mom and told her to "gua sa" for me. Normally one is supposed to have full good rest after it, but my mom insisted on waking me up at exactly 1hour later so that I can send her to the Immigration office, wait for her and send her back to her shop! It really annoyed the eff out of me. I went back to work in the afternoon, though my boss claimed that I looked pale, and should go home and rest. I stayed till 5pm. Went to the private clinic after work and boy, that doc sure gives miracle medications. I took them and retired before 9pm, woke up this morning feeling really good. My cough is still there, but I felt much more better compared to yesterday. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Today came, body status = not too bad but guilt is chomping me down inside! Why?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I threw tantrums at Uncle during lunch earlier. Because I got irritated for the fact that I still have to run around grabbing lunch while being sick, and the people on the road were driving like snails! When I reached his place, I did not even bother asking about his day and etc. I guess I am really self-centered. Apparently he had a busy day at work because there was an incident. Rather than being the dotting girlfriend I should be, I gave this crap to him. I am always trying to work on this but always failed! Why?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Today received a parcel from G-market Singapore, more than half of the items in this parcel do not belong to me and some of them were intended to be gifts to my friends, so I will not be disclosing what I bought! Haha.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hope that I will get well soon and that my remaining parcels will come to me asap! :D</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">**Busy weekend ahead**</span><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes I noticed that I have disappeared for quite some time. Have been trying to catch up with my proper work and I am still getting over the fact that I failed one of my ACCA papers in the June 10 sitting. It was the Law paper. So I will be retaking it, on top of another paper, in Dec 10, and I haven't started any revision so far. Anyhow, don't have to wish me luck because I believe luck will only happen when there is sufficient preparation. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I had F5 classes over the last weekend of August & I swear it totally drained my energy. The class was okay but the intensive hours of paying attention in class, which was followed by driving on the road for about 1.5hrs. I was only fully recharged after a week. And this is going to happen again this weekend. I am still thinking what I should do to make myself less tired. Age is really catching up. Haha! </span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Back to the topic, I know a lot of people would like to give others perfume as a birthday gift. Honestly, do you know what kind of smell the other person loves or loathes? </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

I am grateful to receive them as a gift, as perfumes are not cheap. But this is where the problem lies, you are grateful to receive such presents but the scent is what the person who offers the gift likes, not you yourself. For sure they will not get you something which makes you feel like throwing up whenever you dabbed on them for the day. You know it comes from their heart, when they bought it for you, they thought of you, thinking that it suits your personality. But deep down in your heart, you will know immediately whether you like the scent or not. The scent may be bearable but it lacks the kick, the excitement, the confidence generated from deep within when you wear it. To be honest, I have seen friends who use the perfume given to her as a gift to spray on her shoes / heels. I will never do that because everything given to me is precious to me, even if it lacks the Omph! </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Personally I like scent which is vibrant, lively and has a hint of men's musky smell, like my all time favorite CK One. I have fallen in love with Dior Addict 2 for a long while, I think it has definitely been more than 12 months and recently, someone who owed me a gift (very much long overdue, btw) was going overseas, and she asked me what perfume I would like. See, this is the trick, <u>if you want to get a perfume for someone, always ask for any preferences</u>. So I told her to get me Dior Addict 2, complete with a Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Honestly, I rather splurge on clothes and food, rather than perfume.

Seems like all my memories are stucked in 1996. Haha! Then all these went to the back of my head until I watched Furry Vengeance, starring Brendan Fraser & Brooke Shields, last night. If you need a laugh or an animal lover, you can watch this movie. It's lovely - all hail to raccoon & skunks! </span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I couldn't wait to try them on after Jen Frmheadtotoe had a review on her <a href="http://www.frmheadtotoe.com/2010/04/g-max-pure-pink-circle-lens-video.html">pink lenses</a>. So I took good rest the night before, and made the effort to wake up earlier the next morning. Ok, I have only used pink lenses so far, haven't tried on the grey ones yet. This is the problem you may get when you get more than 1 pair of circle lens at once. Or... maybe not, I just want to use my lenses wisely ;)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I got my lens from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001235857233">this lady</a> from Facebook. I am pretty impressed with the product and the service, so I placed order for the Winter Barbie series. Then all of a sudden you notice so many on Facebook selling lenses, one cheaper than the other. So you're now stuck with choices. As for Lens Shop, I must say that I love her service, and she only requires 50% deposit. Wow. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So here is one of the many shots: </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcPq1iVpwUBlOHc7tsrfsyE5bUVSeNGmzrUMv3XU9bors6xwPssbHzoGdjg4BK9PIrFetlAOFfJdWaJ8gGGb92yfZc6Lz8bgZBafj8VbG-hkvHOk2EChrsXye8x2zWichTBgoXw2QKss1/s1600/IMG_5838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLcPq1iVpwUBlOHc7tsrfsyE5bUVSeNGmzrUMv3XU9bors6xwPssbHzoGdjg4BK9PIrFetlAOFfJdWaJ8gGGb92yfZc6Lz8bgZBafj8VbG-hkvHOk2EChrsXye8x2zWichTBgoXw2QKss1/s320/IMG_5838.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The colour is only obvious when you are under the sun. Else, it'll blend in to your eye colour, in my case, it did and gave a hazel looking colour. The other hazel looking picture is in my phone, so got to wait till I transfer it to my picture. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
The circle lens which I bought are not too dramatic as I've tried once with the Freshkon ones, I looked like a lizard, as per Emily. That time was an accident, I bought a shade of brown too light. I am trying to refrain myself from getting those again cuz my boss seemed to have a thing about super big & black iris. She once commented about this girl working in the local bank used the dolly eye, must be the super black series and she doesn't really like it. I am not trying to please her but I just want to get to wear my lens to work :)</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know there are reports commenting that circle lens will lead to blindness but really, if you use them in moderation, and be wary of your hygiene, you should not worry. Though I love my pink lens to bits and pieces now, I am now using my glasses looking like a nerd. Hehe. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have you noticed the watermark on my pictures? Ok I know all my watermarks look different in all my posts :lol: but I wanted to point out the font I was using. It's called Arabic One Night Stand. The name sounds so kinky. :lol: If you're interested, you can get it from this <a href="http://uniquefont.kutakharisma.com/nicefont40.html">site</a>. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today has not been the greatest day of all but right now I am sitting here spending some personal time, it's not too bad too. Just had my dinner in our local restaurant, WYWY. The food are really good today, either it is because I skipped lunch earlier or because everyone is going for the buffet for breaking fast, and I ordered ala carte, so service is quick and food is good. Perhaps only locals understand what I am having here: Kolo meehoon with wanton & Sea Coconut de Longan. Yummy <3</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Till my next update, take care & have a brilliant weekend ahead.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Happy Ramadhan to all my Muslim friends & families. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Do not worry, it is not raining in KB, in fact it is a bright sunny day today, perhaps in conjunction with the public holiday today. It is only raining in my world today. Why?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">> Because I am working today! Weeee~ *sarcastically*!! Today is a public holiday for all, except me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Remembering when I was flying off to KK with Simon & the guys back in Dec 2008, I had some problem with my AirAsia ticket, Alan quoted AirAsia's slogan: "Now everyone can fly... except Nana..." but I managed to get into the flight in the end. =)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">> Because I was supposed to begin my ACCA F5 & F9 classes next week, and I only found out yesterday that F9 classes are not confirmed yet because I am the only student who signed up for it. And since I only found out about it yesterday, I cannot take up P2 classes because P2 has already started on 7 Aug 2010! I can only get confirmation whether F9 classes will still be ongoing after the June 2010 results are released (i.e. 23 Aug 2010)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">> Because the project which I am working on does not seem to be working out rightly. Perhaps I am targeting at the wrong group of consumers. Maybe I should do some marketing or promotions... In fact, I have not finished uploading all my pictures yet, and that is only for a particular brand. The other brand, I am still awaiting for my supplier to come back from her vacation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">> Because at times it seems to me that having Mr Uncle as my bf is as if I don't have one at all. Okay, I won't drill much into it otherwise I will get emo for the rest of the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">> Because sometimes I do thing which I have no exact explanation for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Like yesterday I stayed back in my office after 5pm, till about 6.30pm. When I was warming up a car, I saw some "theft" going on. I quoted them cuz I cannot confirm whether it is theft or collusion happening within the company. Mr Uncle told me I should not get too upset over it cuz it may not be true, but then I still feel that perhaps I could have done something? Intervening, perhaps? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I will be meeting up with dear Jacinta for lunch. We will be having duck rice, it has definitely been a while since I last had duck rice. Perhaps I will take a snapshot of it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hope the day will get better as the hours pass by. What shall I do tonight? Hopefully mom comes home with my lenses! Pink & gray... <3 and I shall continue with my Beethoven Virus. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">xoxo, Na.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last Sunday my colleague organized a BBQ held at LLRC beach for a get together before the fasting month. It was a good bonding time with me & my colleagues. Although I did not eat much but I enjoyed myself, it was a sunny day with clear sky. There were lots of big trees as shades, so no worries about getting too warm. Hey, LLRC swimming pool is only a walking distance away, just in case you need a quick rinse after playing by the beach. They have toilets for you to change into clean clothes before you head home. Don't tell anyone you learn it from me. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

The recreational club is only a 5min walk away, so you can get nice chilly drinks to refresh yourself or dine in Kate's Catering over there, if you don't like BBQ-ed food.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. What can I say... you can either enjoy playing in the sea or in the pool in the club. There's a toilet where you can clean yourself.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. The trees there are huge. No need to worry about being fried under the sun at 12pm. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. It is a pretty clean place. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cons:</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Sand getting into the food. In my case, the sausage i ate was sandy.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Sand flies! I got bitten twice!! Their scars tend to stay for a long time, I am not sure what the remedy is, mosquito repellent perhaps? Heard from Mr Uncle that you just have to use the sand beach to rub all over your feet and the culprit will leave you alone. Try it and let me know.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">So if you're planning a weekend getaway with your friends & family, you can check out this place. Don't forget your sunblock! </span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480854808164301538.post-62711134167462372992010-08-07T11:24:00.000+08:002010-08-07T11:26:02.651+08:00to feel what it is like<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is my first entry and I will do an introduction about myself. I have always wanted to have a proper blog but never had the inspiration. If you need to know, I just got this inspiration on what I should blog about when I was in my shower. =)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First off, this is Yuna from Brunei. I am turning 25 this year and I earn my bucks by crunching numbers. That's right, I am an accounts supervisor. Not an accountant just yet as I am still earning my qualifications. So I am a part time student too. So early Junes and Decembers will be the busiest time for me as I will be preparing for my exams. Hopefully it'll only be so for the next 2-3 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hobby... this is a little difficult as I love anything under the sun. So this will be more of a combination of my hobbies, likes and dislikes. I bake. I love K-pop, that include certain dramas. I have very few close friends but they are very dear to me. I love food and I tend to have very bad cravings. A friend commented that I am a Facebook addict but I think I am still alright. I am learning how to be use make up better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I will not be specifically blogging about a certain thing under the sun, it could be really random. Perhaps a movie or drama I just watched, life inspiration, food I just baked (which I have not done in ages), products which I just tried on, restaurants which I just tried out, or even just a random update on my day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope it will turn out all good and I seriously hope that I will have the time to update more often. To share bits and pieces under the sky with the rest of you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Till then, Love.</span>Yunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15999432419855217295noreply@blogger.com0
