FAREWELL 2013 - THANK YOU SO MUCH !

Farewell 2013 -  the best year i've ever had.
2013 is a year of happiness overload.
Life in 2013 was pretty busy. But it was filled with laughter, love and friendships/kinship.

What more can i wished for? 

When i was younger, i always wanted what people had.
Nice bags, nice clothes, expensive holidays etc....and i forgot to be grateful of what i had.

Now i've learnt to more appreciative of what i have in my life.
My husband, my family and my friends.
These are the biggest wealth that i've got.

Thank you...Thank you!

2014 - I don't need you to be awesome.
I just want peace, harmony and good health for everyone.
(yes....from the bottom of my heart!!!)

However, 2014, please go slow on me.
Years passes by so fast.  I hope you don't fly past so quickly like the years before you :)

HAPPY 2014 TO THE WORLD !

What was it that i wanted to say???

I've got so much to tell and yet so little to write!
What is wrong with me?
Since we are back in Singapore for good, there is soooooo much i wanted to do.
So much things and yet so little time.

Sure i still missed Hongkong.
What i need to do now is to rediscover Singapore.
I was surprised with the many changes here.
The good food, nice cafe and great shopping deal etc!
And most importantly, my family and friends are all here.

I even went to a dog shelter and almost volunteer to walk the dog.
However, i chicken out!! What a failure!

I'm also starting to travel again.
1st stop, Taiwan!

My fav - Milk Tea

This was my last milk tea before i left HongKong.
I can't explain why the milk tea in HK tastes so different from Singapore.

Could it be the milk or the tea that they used?
Milk tea is very popular in HK and it's more popular then coffee.

Gosh.....i'm so gonna missed my Milk Tea-Nai Cha (pronounce in Cantonese)

Goodbye HongKong....our Home for the past 3 and half years

It's time to bid farewell to the home away from home.
Time passes by so fast....it's been 3 years and 6 months.
I used to dislike HongKong because of the rude and unfriendly sales people.
(not unless you are in Chanel or Gucci....)

The food are not to my liking and the MTR is always crowded...anytime of the the day.
Cabs are stinky. The streets, shops and restaurant are filled with PRC.
(i'm not against PRC but the experiences i had with them are soooooo unpleasant)

However i've come to accept and got used to what HK is.
Carefree! Carefree was the word i could described HK.
I can't explain...but this word really explain what I felt about HK.

I could just take a book and sit right in front of the Victoria Harbour and not care about anything in the world.

I could just walk into any shops and find some cheap and nice stuffs.
I could just grab a cuppa of ice milk tea and walk the streets.

I'm gonna missed all these.
Adios! HK! Till we meet again.

A Love Hate Relationship With This City

I don't know what to say......
This place gives me so much joy and so much sadness.
Just when i start to fall in love with this city.....it's time for me to leave.

11 more days to go and shall bid farewell to you.....HK.

My Birthday Indulgence

Had a blast time having nice food on my Birthday.
Nothing much to celebrate about as the number is increasing for my age.
How sad :)

This could be the last time for me to celebrate my Birthday in this land of colours, HK.
Cheers!

A Glimpse At My Office Desk

Things that made me happy.....

These pots of plants on my office desk not only provided more oxygen for me,
it also beautify my working space.

More glimpse of my working space coming up soon........  :)

TIME FLIES

oH MY! We are coming to the 1st quarter of the year 2012!
I thought Xmas and New Year was just few weeks back??
How could it be??

I felt so controlled by the time.
It's like there is this voice in my brain telling me constantly that :

"tHE cLOCK iS tICKING" ,
"tHE cLOCK iS tICKING"

GONG XI FA CAI FOR THE YEAR OF DRAGON

Gong Xi Fa Cai! It's begining of another Chinese Lunar New Year.
Hope all is well for our health and wealth.

Chinese New Year is a time for family, relatives and friends' reunion.
It's the time for great food and great companionship.

I wonder this tradition will last for generations to come.
Years after years, the atmosphere of CNY is getting less celebrated.

Is this due to the busy life-style of the new generations?

DECISION TIME AGAIN!!

Why in life there is so many decisions to be made?
I hate making decisions.
The time had come to see if we should continue to stay in HongKong.
The pros and cons, what is there for me to do here and what are my plans for my career?
Not only that, i had to think of the pros and cons for my other half......Him.

Hate it! Simply hate it!
Why can't things be easier?

Ok i shall not think about it and get my ass back to S'pore this weekend first.
Let's leave the decision aside for the time being.  Maybe i could think better when i go home!
Home sweet Home!

Gonna reward myself with a chocolate for the day of hard work!
Imagine sitting at the desk, typing on your laptop for 8 whole hours! Sucks!

Lost and Found

Just when i thought i'll never be able to login to my blog forever!
Miracle happens! Had been trying to sign in to my blog since last Aug and was not able to as i can't recall my ID and password.  Crazy me! So it proved that i'm stressed out MAX!!  Not sure if its due to my work or due to depression!

And with just pure luck, i could sign in with just one try today!
Congrats to myself!

For the past many months, i'm living like a Zombie.
Work, eat, travel, shop with no feelings.
Trust me! I don't even remember what i had done or what i wanted to do!

Could it be mid life crisis??
Gosh!

Time passes by so quickly.  It's another new year again!!
New year new resolutions?  Not for me!
I just want world peace.  Seriously, worldpeace!
A world that had no jealousy, back-stabbing, fights, competitions and arguments.
Well, hope its not too late to wish myself and everyone a Happy New Year!

Missed You My Dear Friend

It's been 2 years since you have left us my friend.
How was life in heaven?
Though you are gone, your smiles are kept deep in our heart.
Love you and will always miss you.
Dear friend, we shall meet again some day.......

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year

Happy Bunny Year!  It's the year of rabbit for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
I'm so ashamed of myself.  It's already the 5th day of the Chinese New Year and i waited till now to wish everyone.

Came back from HK on the 22Jan and it's busy, busy and busy for me.
Excuses? No, i'm really so busy that i can't feel any New Year atmosphere in me!

And after the Chinese New Year celebration, i'm gonna be extremely busy to pack the stuffs and furniture of my home of 6 years.

Sold my house and i don't even have time to feel sad about it.
It's all done so hastily.

For one, the house is too big for both of us.
And i don't find any comfort in it as i'm always thinking about all the household chores that needed to be done.

We're trying to find a smaller apartment and hope it will be a cosy one.

Well, let's hope that this bunny year will be a good one.
Best wishes and good health to all!

Looking from a different direction......

People say, if you look at things in a different direction, you might have a different opinion about things in life or a situation.

It is quite true.  As life takes a wrong turn, you tend to get very down and frustrated.
However, if you look at it with a different perspective, things might not be that bad after all.

Was lazing by the poolside with my friends from Singapore.
One of my friend took a picture of the service apartment that i'm staying in HK.

I had never look this way while i was at the pool all this while.
Look at the blue sky and the white clouds.....
Simply love the view!

 

My Bag, My Happiness...

My very first Louis Vuitton bag bought last Christmas.

It's a Louis Vuitton Neo Cabby Denim Black.

Can't describe the satisfaction from getting this bag.

This bag was a Christmas present from my hubby.

Gonna save up to buy my very own LV bag.

Bet there will be stronger satisfaction...hahaha.

CUPPA TEA....

My best friend came to Hongkong for her shopping spree and we went for Hi Tea.
I have no friends at all in HK. I was really looking forward to see her when she sms me that she will be coming to HK.

We had an enjoyable time at Causeway Bay.
We found this cafe at Sogo called the Sogo Cafe with it's nice ambience.

Very English style and we love it.
The Hi-tea set for 2 costs HKD148 (SGD25)
Worth it!

Another Late Christmas Gift

Hubby was so busy during the Xmas period and there was no gift from him.

It's understandable as China does not celebrate Xmas.

And so we only had a nice Xmas dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Anyway, we were shopping on Sun and i saw this unique watch from Shanghai Tang.

And here it goes, it became my present from him!

Love the Chinese Characters.  You would need to pronounce it in cantonese.
Unique right?

Look at the box.  So antique.

My Love for Ice Milk Tea

A refreshing glass of ice milk tea after a long long day of work!
What's missing is a nice story book to go along with the drink.

Can't understand why having ice milk tea at a cafe is so much different from having it at home?

I MISSED THE BEACH!

4 entries for the blog and i am starting to get lazy!
Blamed it on the weather here in HK.  It's freezing and my mind is frozen! LOL!
Ya ya ya.....excuses!

Was looking through my Iphoto albums and saw the ones taken at the beach in Bintan.
God! How i wished i'm bathing in the sunlight right now!

ICE CREAM

Ice cream - anytime and anywhere for me please!

Love it! Yummy!!
