and i've hitting town over the weekends. sat and sun was spent in town. not that it's a bad thing. juz that it was a reminder why i dislike going to town on weekends. the crowd was maddening! even walking from esplanade to UOB plaza was a challenge. so many tourists! was busy avoiding the people while eating my ice cream under the hot sun. =)

went to 2 places for supper yest. along bukit timah plaza and then to clementi road. hahaha. i think i gained back whatever i lost in the past few days of exercising. damn!

now. to fix my bicycle. then to wait for dec schedule to be out so that i can plan to go to the flyer. then a friday to travel more cafe stores. and to schedule a date with my long-lost kindergarten friend. and there's beloved and karin to meet. and line. and probably another few more with *b. hahaha. i'm a happy girl! =D

ps. i especially like the current main pic coz someone was unintentionally captured in the pic as well. =P

went bangkok with lover after some spontaneous planning and stayed like 3.5 days there. did some walk around. caught a few movies. chilled out a bit and did some major shopping at juz one place.

we stayed at baiyoke boutique hotel. it's near pratunam center where everyone claims the shopping was good. and coz we went on weekdays and left on sat morning we didn't manage to conquer chatuchak. but yeah. may be back for that another weekend. but then again. i may consider going elsewhere.

we took our first ever tut tut and was 'conned' into having lunch at a restaurant where the prices were a bit high end. but the tom yam was really good. the prawns were like damn fresh too! and not to mention ultra big! =D

then we ventured about and asked our way to the big c and center world. big c is like our giant. a supermart in a sense. and we spent a bit shopping for toiletries and browsing around the shelves. probably coz of the exchange rate i thought it was wise to spend a bit on travel sizes of toiletries. hahaha.

caught our very first movie of surrogates in big c. not bad. reminds me a bit of i robot though. not that it's a bad thing. seats were big and comfy and there weren't much people so lover and i were curled up on the seats and i even stretched my legs to the front seat at times. ha! =D

we tried some sugar cane ice cream with toppings. not bad but a tad too sweet for my liking. =X and we had mac too! pork burgers! and lover saw a eye candy! hahaha. she was so happy and ecstatic lo.

along the way to mbk and siam paragon we bought a few items. like tops and belt and accessories. coz there was this night market along the streets. crowded but it's an experience in itself.

the next few days were spent shopping at mbk (which was really really good) and catching 2012 at siam paragon. apparently new moon is a big whoo-ha over there coz there were gigantic posters. lifesize cutouts and a countdown timer for the movie alone! my tian!

also saw the 7 wonders built using legos in paragon. christmas decorations.

we had foot massages the first 2 days and indulged ourselves in manicure and pedicure and body massage on the last. damn good! mani and pedi were a bit scary though coz they were my first. but ok la. at least they look nice now. hahaha!

went over luang prabang on sat morning and stayed till early this morning. details are in facebook.

but i guess i found my courage. to travel alone and all. it's quite interesting when you do things your own time and do what you want. the scary part was the fear that no one could understand me coz of the language barrier. but i guess if i manage to survive through it. it's not that bad is it? =P

heard a few news when i came back today. allan mah promoted to rm. ckn5. sophia promoted to rm. bpp. happy for both of them. but it means that i have one less kaki to hang out with le. damn. =X anyway. hawa's giving birth today. so i wish her all the best and may the baby be as healthy as can be! =D

ok. thou shall go off now coz *b is calling! =D

was really fun although tiring when we had to start running coz sophia. kris. kim seah and i were part of the amazing race facilitators. but alright la. =D still got to win vouchers. hahaha. was going to post up more pics on facebook but the photo system is not co-operative at all! for the past 3 days le! damn! =X

been really happy yesterday and the day before coz i was msging my eye candy and *b called up. hahaha. so i started poking my managers when working and smiling to myself. so they all said i was nuts. hahaha.

and after some practicing with my frothing. now my milk looks ok. and my latte looks ok right? got marbling and all ma. this was one of the better ones coz some of the other CMI lo. hahaha. tkz to my shifu for his guidance! =D

and the difference between this and the previous one was that the top was done with normal coffee while this was done with decaf. hahaha. i think it looks ok too! =D

next up. i wanna learn latte art! time to disturb my shifu soon! probably on friday! hahaha. =D so happy can see him! =D

went store for opening coz the opening beanie couldn't make it due to school (tell me this: how can it be that you only know you have school the next day like 6 hours before?!? bloody pissed off and i 'complained' to my shifu in the middle of the night. hahaha.) but heng daniel helped out opening and so i did part of schedule in the morning. ran around like an extra kid for breakfast coz the sales was like 'whoa!' and continued with schedule before i was chased off by janice and jegan for the upcoming cafe promotion briefing.

and i was hoping to see my eye candy there although i know the chances are quite low as he's busy with his other job and school. but i saw him!!! so so so happy! and then went back store with KC and did another schedule and covered cafe for a while coz another idiot never turn up again! frustration!!! >(

then worse. over ordered cafe products so was calling CK62 and BB to absorb! >( bosses coming today lehz!

but then i did some nice drinks and suggestive selling too. so proud of myself. maybe i should demote to a shift leader or beanie as well. =D and so i msged my shifu and took some pics of my nice nice milk. hahaha. coz he said muz prove to him that i can froth a good jug of milk too! =D

then after that went BB to learn a bit more skills and quite enjoyed myself too. not tired at all. coz yarz. =D then left at 11pm plus a bit coz i needed to send some emails out before 2359h yest. and *b was nice enough to walk me to the bus stop and waited with me for the bus even though he was waiting for his overnight beanie to turn up. hahaha.

so we chatted a bit more. laughed a bit more. and yes. i didn't feel tired at all. not surprising rightz? =D and was doing schedule juz now. and chatting to *b.

... ...

sometimes i really wonder at fate and the things he brings along with him. i never ever thought that i would meet my eye candy back from 6 years ago and could be on such good terms now. it's surprising the curveballs life throws at me. and don't be mistaken. i'm not complaining. juz amazed at how fast time passes and how much i've encountered and overcome in the past years.

i'll continue to be my happy little girl since no one and nothing is holding me back now. i'm a free woman! =D

time to enjoy my life learning new stuff. travelling. and doing what i like best! =D

cheerz!

came back from batam with beloved. juz more of a r&r 2d1n break from the world. was fun juz walking around aimlessly and shopping and catching 17 again in the cinema. =D beloved was saying she'll buy a place in batam if she has the money but i want to buy one in bukit indah(malaysia) or bintan. =D

the hotel we stayed at. puri garden. right opposite the road from nagoya hill! =D

our lunch over at la cruise.

coz we followed the wrong GMT and entered the departure 1 hour earlier. so we cam-whored. =D

we were chatting when he asked when i was free for coffee and i chose today. and that boy actually forgot today was his birthday! hahaha. i was laughing at him lo. bought him something. but then he told me he liked harleys instead. arrrghz. damn. wrong choice. but still... =)

he met me at store and then we went over to new york new york for dinner.
