Bed fit for the KING

Shit! I think I bought a king sized bed rather than the intended double (or Queen) sized bed. Could have spent the extra £ on some other furniture.

Damn it! I'm regretting it now! Imagine if I have to move a year later, it's terrible... WHY did I buy a KING sized one!


*CRIES*

July - the month of change

It seems like July's the month for move. Why? I'll name you 4 for now...

- firstly -
Beginning of the month I found out that my fairy tale Prince whom I met in a "ball" in Paris has found his Cinderella in her glass slippers. It would have been truly a sweet fairy tale ending for him and I but snapping back to reality, I'm moving on.

- secondly -
I'm now finally able to treat the chestnut as a friend and hang out with again. The chestnut whom I had once so ever foolishly gone ga ga over and cried my heart out with. Thinking back now, I had been really naive and really really silly and very blind. Though it took me quite a while to put it behind, it's worth it. It's history and I learnt from it.

- thirdly -
Many changes are happening in my current job. We're moving to a new building, we'll have new seating arrangements (can't say that I favour where I've been assigned to sit), we have new team leaders as well as products/projects assigned to us for our primary and secondary roles (which I'm not very particularly happy about!!!).

- forthly -
I'll be moving to south London instead of west London which has been home to me the past 2 years that I've been in the UK. I'm sure gonna miss west London and its greenery badly. But... looking on the bright side! I'm gonna have my own room now! (Yep, I've been sharing a room for my whole life!) And plus point is I can decorate the unfurnished place I'm moving into! YAY! However, I ain't got much to spend. It's gonna take some time to do up my own room. I'm kinda looking forward to it nonetheless. It'll be good to live in and explore another part of London.

brown hair?

I was looking into the mirror and noticed...

My hair used to be jet black, but under the sunlight it seems to be reflecting a brownish tinge.

I looked into my mirror again...

Without the sunlight shinning, it looks black again but not jet black. Somehow my hair has turned a shade or two lighter. I like it this way, I like it brown, dark brown is fine.

Switzerland

Wanting to celebrate my birthday month in style, I decided to join my friend, Brian, in his Switzerland trip. It was a rather last minute thingy for me but I'm really glad I went along on the trip. It was so beautiful there and I fell in love with the snow mountains! And it made me very determind to learn snowboarding too (pity we didn't have the chance to get our feet on skiis and snowboards). I'm gonna sign myself up for French lessons first!

Anyway... we toured Switzerland together travelling about in first class trains, how cool is that! We managed to get the free upgrade from an online promotion. Lucky lucky.

Check Brian's blog out to find out more. He's got many more beautiful photos too!! (YES! I'm very lazy!):
1] I am back from Swiss! I am coughing badly now with...

感触

不久后我得再度与你们离别了。。。不到一周的时间我就得飞回英国继续工作了。不知何年才会回访新加坡永久定居叶。（我也不知该如何回答这不一定的未来。）但在新加坡度假这现有期间内，总觉得时间永远是不够的！我连去东海岸玩滑轮的时间都没有呀。

在此所逗留短期间内，我都是忙着与家人及朋友们见面交谈。同时也利用了我的度假来做视力激光矫正手术。忙得不可开交。还有很多事没办完，也还有些朋友们没见面到。哎。天阿！为什么时间总觉得不够吗。

所以我说呀，做人有时要自私一点儿，总得给自己单独的时间，停一下来找自我，办该完成的事物及回想看一看自己所经历的一切。可是时间哪会停留给我那么做吗！还是现实点吧你这个永远自我矛盾的女人！还是好好利用所限有的时间吧！

Snow video

My first ever snowing encounter abroad.
How I wish my friends were here to make snowman with me.
Trix, this vid is especially for ya!



Friends tell me it's spring

Without you here the seasons pass me by
I know you were not new
That loved like me and you
All the same I miss you
Today has been ok
Today has been ok

Singlish

Woo hoo.. I can't wait to put my Singlish to use once more this coming Chinese New Year, when I fly home for my holiday! Whoopie!!!

Some Snow updates...

10.30am, London, UK

I'm looking out of the window. It's not stopping since I woke at 7ish am this morning, the snowing of course. *Winks* Beautiful.

11am, London, UK

Yep, it's still snowing....

11.30am, London, UK

I believe that the snowing has ceased. Bummer.

1.30pm, London, UK

No more snowing! I wanted to go snow hunting in St James park but ended up eating Nasi Lemak in a restaurant in China Town area. Nasi lemak wasn't that bad. Tasted not as authentic, but still taste good otherwise. Tsk tsk...

It's actually snowing!

10am, London, UK

OH MY GOD! It's actually snowing in London!

It has been for the past few hours since I awoke. I'm so happy! First in my lifetime to see it snow like there's no tomorrow! And lots of snow about (i.e. where I live; the city area is too hot for them to survive once touch down.)! It's still raining snow outside my office window! Hopefully by lunch time today the snow will still be around for I to get down to St. James Park to make me a snowman or even have snowfights with my colleagues if they want to tag along with this child - me i.e.

I was so excited that I even forgot to bring my packed lunch to work today. It's still sitting in the fridge back home. I was snapping photos away as I walked to the tube station. But it had been quite a chore getting to work with this snow "storm" affecting transportation.

Stay tune for more photos. Hopefully it shall include a snowman. Hee hee...

Let it snow let it snow let it snow...

THAT ONE DAY...

Aaron Kwok

I had a very weird dream this morning! Gee, I've never really like him but somehow he managed to sneak into my dream this morning.

Anyway cutting it brief, I dreamt that I was snuggled up close to Aaron Kwok under the warm blankets (and he was trying to kiss me!!). There we were, trying to fall asleep together. Hee, it felt like so nice - the feeling of just falling asleep together with him comfortably in his embrace, this feeling that none other guy has managed to give by far. However we were not alone! (Now... behave) On the other bed across the room was my grandfather sleeping in his bed! *faints*

Then it ended up we waking up to have breakfast in some sort of funny skyscraper building with apartments within. Blah blah blah...

Wonder what could this imply. Anyone can decode dreams?

Happy New Year!!!

From long to shorter hair...
NEW cut NEW year NEW start
FRESH cut FRESH year FRESH start

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
May 2007 be a NEW and FRESH year for all!!!

It's gonna be even BETTER!!!!

Last day of the year...

It's finally a year coming soon to an end. 2006 has been quite a year for me with it's up and down. But it's been fun as well as sad. Anyway I'm looking forward to 2007. I'm sure it's gonna be an even better year than the previous. It's gonna be very exciting too! I'm going home for Chinese New Year (ANG BAOS!!) I'm gonna find out whether or not I'll be getting to stay on in the UK once the work permit/entrance clearance visa applications get through. Otherwise it's gonna be adjustments back home to SG. Travelling more hopefully (depending on my suitation).

So what's a new year without any new year's resolutions? Without further ado...

New Year Resolutions?
1] Try not to be so forgetful
2] Try save up more and spend less unnecessarily
3] Try catching up more with friends in SG
4] Try blogging more
5] Try eat less junk food!

[Trying to keep it minimal and achievable]

So ways to combat failing the resolutions?
1] Keep a To Do list whenever necessary, will use a journal specifically for this only
2] Not to go overboard spending especially when SALES are up every now and then, and aso keep to a financial budget
3] Make an effort to email/mail/msn them more (if I'm still gonna be in UK)
4] GET BROADBAND!
5] Control my diet and eat more greens & cook more greens

[Hopefully these would help]
