the impromptu trip

101207 003101207 002101207 001

it feels good to do something on impulse sometimes. fight the odds and just do whatever you feel like doing. life is short, enjoy it to the max! didn't expect to return to hk for the 3rd time so soon. still, every trip is different and what matters most is who you're doing it with!

lots of walking and hunting around for food. i followed the 'eat your way around hk' guide very closely and was rewarded with lots of good food and interesting gastronomic experiences. we were very happy with the recommendations in the guide as they proved to be really yummy food! at least yt had a 'favourite food' from all the food that we tried. it's so hard to please her! :P except for the crowds and fierce-sounding people, i think she quite liked the rundown places, neon lights and people-watching. same with me.

visited disneyland and snoopy world this time round, which proved to be a worthwhile experience. finally i can say i've visted Disneyland and Snoopy world! Both of which are miniature theme lands. I simply loved the fireworks in Disneyland! Kirei! Kirei! The most unenjoyable part of our trip was the time in Macau. We just felt so insecure while we were there. There were just so many people around and not many people understand English/Mandarin. Still, i would try to go Macau again, but in a larger group with people who know their way around.

the thing about holidays is that it feels you've been zapped into a world of your own. there's no monday blues or any feeling about the days. Like how sometimes even though you forgot the date, you still have a feeling of what day it is, but during holidays, no matter how hard you try, you don't feel it's any day. It's just a HOLI-day! and everyday of your trip is just Holi-day. Whee! Though sometimes you do interact with people in reality, you're still pretty much in your own world. i love such holidays!

@ changi airport

my impulse became a reality and i'm at changi airport blogging away. half an hour more to boarding time! whee! this is cheap thrill manz! i just have to get an entry in from changi airport. i mean, how often does one blog from changi airport???! since 5pm yesterday, i had totally no mood to continue my work. so i doodled around, wishing time would pass faster. anyway, the end of this week was horrible. my mentor's leaving and i suddenly feel overwhelmed by the number of things to do. gosh. i'm soooo glad that i have a break next week! can't wait to eat and shop and just take my mind off work. haha! i sound as if i think about work all the time...it just nags at the back of my brain. the moment i drive home, ask me anything about work and i have to think for 10mins. but when i'm at home, i'll just get the horrible feeling that i forgot to add something in the document i just released! nightmare..ohwell, holidays are here! yippeee.....first time with YT!! YIKES!>.<

crazy ideas

usually, i'm a calm and patient person. one who thinks through stuff quite thoroughly and weighs the pros and cons and ponders about matters. but sometimes, i just whack. heck it. and that's how my crazy ideas just set off like fireworks in my brain.

within the span of the last 4hrs, i nearly booked a flight to hk. till i thought of the slim possibility with the flu going around and kids running all over hk disneyland. plus the high possibility of my parents reaction if i told them i wanted to bring my sis with me. don't ask me why. it totally put me off and jolted me back to planet earth.

that's crazy idea #1. the other one: i'm gonna set a goal for myself. i'll participate in 2 marathons next yr. a half then a full one if the half was good. which means i have to start training this year. giving myself a year to train. wahah! i've never seen myself wanting to run a marathon. i just had the mindset that it's for those super healthy freaks. perhaps there's nothing new in my life this year and i wanted to spice it up a little. my comfort zone is getting a little too boring.

'do u want to join a marathon?'

"HUH?!" was my initial reaction. 'how could i?! do i look like one who runs marathons!?' and all these usual negative or unsupportive thoughts just played in my mind. i always think that i cannot do it. i cannot do it. i cannot do it. but a soft voice inside me asked, 'why not?' >.<

Dear Friend,

How have you been getting along? It's been a long time since we've kept in contact. It feels good seeing you around actually. At least there's still familiar faces. Many things have changed, I wonder if you've noticed. 'Hope to get to know you better' was one of the things you might have really felt, but we didn't really put it into action, did we? There's something special about you, though i can't pinpoint what it is, and that's why you have a special place in my heart. Sometimes, i feel that it's better for the both of us if the distance remains. What can never be, will never be. Perhaps it's this familiarity cum stranger-likeness which draws me to you. Not knowing what you really are. Just having the impression of you and so the impression stays on for many years, without changing. So, perhaps you've changed and you're no longer the person i knew. I'll never really know. I'm really glad to have known you anyway and I wish you happiness.

Good Friday

mogumoguGood Friday is Good Friday because some 2000 yrs ago, Jesus gave up His life for us, so that we could have it Good once and for all. no more animal sacrificings. that was the only way. just as how the world operates and is governed by certain laws, of nature and of man, i think likewise to how we can be reconciliated to God. Pure blood has to be shed. Though Jesus' death, we have the right to LIVE, to live fulfilling lives, and to have anything good eternally, if we accept Him as our Saviour and Lord.

I thought i'd get eaten by the fishies today, but plans were cancelled and substituted with something else. I went to the place that I've not stepped into for nearly 2-3yrs. Far East Plaza. I've decided it's best to go shopping with nothing in mind, at least you'll find something that you like. rather than going with a strong determination to get a certain type of watever and end up going back empty-handed. Green Petals is my current fav shop. She's got really nice pretty necklaces and earrings. I got a skirt from there. But i can't wear it anytime soon, cos of my scrapped knee. Boo! I always take the hard way to learn things. I'll never forget my guards next time i go rollerblading. I'll never forget to pay my credit card bills on time. Boo!

Anyways, there's a new eatery! Kitchen mogumogu ! It's totally jap! which means TOTAL SELF-SERVICE! there's no counter to order from. everything's online! you go to this machine to click on the stuff you wanna eat, slot in your dollar bills and coins, get your receipt and wait till they shout your number and go collect the food from the counter. I had to try the kawaii set. Simple. Cos it was soooo kawaii! It's really healthy food. The vegetables are just slightly boiled so it still retains most of its nutrients and the teriyaki flavours aren't that strong either. The kawaii set just looks too cute to be eaten. And what's more, they actually have the takeaway set in a bundle! You know, the japanese bundle wrap! Manz!! How Jap is that?!!
