Dream architect fail

Me: In my dreams I'm always doing two things - I'm either panicking for exams or running. Very often I realised I do not pant when I run, that's when I knew I was in a dream.

Di Yang: That means your dream architect is no good.

Heehee!!

You will understand this only if you have watched Inception.

Public Feud

I, for one, do not like to wash dirty linen in public. Since you started it, then bring it on.

You complained that I'd rather watch Doraemon than to visit the doctor with you. For the record I went to the doctor with you. Need I bring up the time you left me to walk the streets of Mongkok alone because you'd rather surf facebook in the lounge?

Anyone who read the post would have believed that visiting the doctor was very important to you. Guess what? After one day the medication is still left untouched, and you went drinking last night. Can you see the irony here?

qing ming..

This trip back to ipoh is probably the most tiring of all trips. Papa picked me and HDY from my workplace on Friday evening. Taking into account the afterwork traffic, I estimated we would reach Ipoh by 12mn, latest. Traffic to the causeway was relatively smooth. We managed to clear customs and immigration in a shorter time than the last trip! Little did we expect a terrible massive jam in the heart of JB! We were stuck for 2 hours before we managed to hit the highway. It was 8:30pm by then.


Not long after that, we were hit by torrential rain!! It was so heavy you could barely see what's ahead of you. It doesn't help that the highway is not lit. By then I had taken over driving duties because papa had been driving for 4 hours and he's not exactly young anymore. Honestly I doubted whether I could keep my family safe in such driving conditions. I threaded at 70 kmh for the next half hour. It was an excruciating drive. I channelled what's left of my energy for the day to concentrating on the road. I could barely last for 2 hours and my father took reins of the wheels again while I slept..ZzzzZz..


We finally arrived at Ipoh at 2am and headed straight for kum poh for dinner / supper / breakfast. Papa woke us up at 6:30am and we made our way to the cemetary for tombsweeping. It was an extremely tiring trip but it's good to see everyone again.


Have a happy week ahead :)

=)

me: I'm scared..


With all wisdom and wit..
bran: Go in there and wriggle your toes, you will feel better


heeheehee!!

LDR sucks doesn't it.

This is what I set out to do


Siau Tung, just suck it up and move on.

Saturday

I don't know how to continue with my revisions anymore. I thought exercise would help in my concentration. It did initially, but in retrospect, it was probably an illusion.

Revisions are often peppered with work matters. Asset specificity is the.. ahh contract renewal for xxx coming up.. extent to which the investments.. must remember to do monthly report.. made to support a particular transaction.. must remember to call Ted back.. have a higher value to that transaction than.. zzZzz

Like what I told Elaine (Lee) yesterday when we were both lamenting the pitiful states we are in, I have to wake up every morning to convince myself why completing the degree was important. I only have 1.5 more months to go! Then it's LIBERATION!!!

What I can't understand is, why do I feel so awful when I'm only doing two modules this year. I did four in 2008 and three last year! How did I do it?

It sucks when you know the other girlfriends are enjoying the long weekend (they get eve of holiday and Monday off in Aus) deep sea fishing, paintball and partying with their boyfs in Perth, while I max my brain out over the weekend. And you don't give a damn.

F'it!

heehee!!

Brand loyalty

Harley buyers are granite-like in their devotion to the brand. You don't see people tattooing Yamaha on their bodies.

In Russia, the police are paid so badly that in 1992, more than 2000 crimes were blamed on the police officers.


Haha!


Awesome

awesome.

awesome: something which Americans use to describe everything

Celebrate Every Day.

Perth, Day 2 - Rottnest Island

On the ferry to Rottnest

There are very few motor vehicles on the island,

so you gotta get around in a bike.

I almost died cycling up the slopes to get to Salmon Bay, it was definitely worth it.

The Basin

:)

My first snorkelling experience!

The water was so cold we took half an hour to muster enough courage to get in!

sunday

We sent HDW off today :(


We were chatting on the drive back and I recalled a funny sight in the zoo.


There was a cage with little chicks in the Kids Zone. and directly opposite the cage was..

a KFC restaurant! How convenient!

we're going to the zoo zoo zoo

The last time I stepped into the zoo was some 10 years ago, when I was still in BLGPS.

so cute!

haha! We got HDYang to squeeze the orang utan's nipples

remember this?

Night Safari

Our nth trip to Night Safari. It was extremely packed yesterday, we didn't get to catch the show. Apparently it was full 15 mins before showtime. We had a fun time nonetheless :)

queuing for tickets. 

HDW taught me how to take photos at night without using flash :)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8! Everyone's in the photo!

ho di yang..

Happy CNY

Life has been good! Except I miss Bran terribly. It was great to be back in Ipoh & Cameron Highlands, such good food!

 

Driving up to Cameron Highlands

Papa with a Japanese cucumber

Vege..

Look who came to visit!

Fantastic view & weather at the tea plantation.

Just short of a lounge chair.

I'm so glad everyone is in Singapore now. Nothing like being with family. So there! Happy CNY!

recommended good read

I got this book on my way to Hong Kong last Christmas. I have read a couple of New York Times Best Sellers - The Lovely Bones, Thinner, The Notebook in the past months.. but they mostly disappoint. Like Diyang proclaimed when we stepped into Harris, every other book is a NY Times Best Seller. Heh.


Freefall, not a best seller yet, is a highly recommended read if you want a good laugh. It's a brilliantly written memoir of Oran, son of Jack Canfield author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
