Singapore Trip

Singapore Trip

Last month, out of the blue, Mel called me up and asked me whether I wanna join her to Singapore! Without hesitation, I said yes!!! It's time for the travel buddies to be reunited. Hehehe.... So flight was booked, the vacation started on Friday until Monday... Lucky for me, I got super-cheapo flight ticket from Air Asia (KK-Changi) while Mel flew via JetStar from KLIA.

I got to S'pore at 9pm, and about the same time as Mel arrived at Changi as well...

Second day (Saturday), me and Mel spent the day shopping and exploring the endless shops at Orchard Road... But with our currency at RM2.41 for $1 - erk, I guess shop till you drop is out of question...

Saturday night, went to Clarke Quay where people dine, wine and having a good time ...
On our third day, we went to explore the city... Do what tourists do, bringing huge dslr camera and started snapping...

At Sentosa IslandEr, this is supposed to be an artsy shot ... hehehehe

Sentosa Island - Song of the Sea

Going home.... Garden at Changi Airport... ooh yea, shopping at Changi Airport is heavenly...


No big shopping this time around, I only bought two C&K sandals and my favorite chocolate, Lindt (this satisfied my craving)....

Good trip, good company for good time...

Until next trip okay?

i'm back

Just got back from a wonderful Singapore trip... I so deserved that vacation, of course... after days of working late and working on weekends??

Anyway, pictures and updates coming up soon... Now I gotta relax my aching feet from too much walking...

packing list

I hope this year is gonna be a year full of travel... More often, I sometimes bring more than necessary... So hopefully after years of experience, maybe I'm a better 'packer' now... But we're women, what do you expect? We need one shoes for each pair of dress ;) I remember when I travel during the first year, I was travelling with only backpack (no choice because we were travelling by train at that time). But after that when we had to travel to a different place by car, me and my girlfriend brought lotsa of other stuff, and this includes 3 pair of shoes for just 4 days of travel . Hehehehehe...

So.... here are my packing list for future reference :)
1. Identification (IC/Passport)
2. Ticket (as well as ticket number written someplace else in case I lost my printed ticket
3. Toiletries (travel size of course) & Makeup (only bring powder, concealer & blusher- the others just leave it at home)
4. Tops & Pants (something that I can mix n match)
5. Pyjamas ( the lightest possible)
6. Towel ( the thinnest possible)
7. Handphone & Charger
8. Camera & Camera charger
9. A book to read while waiting for flight
10. Notebook & a pen in case I get inspired (wahahahah)

I know some people make fun of me with my list (esp when travelling for a day, people would wonder what's the list for?).... See, usually I would make my list earlier, maybe a day or two days earlier than my flight, so the night before, I just toss every item in my list into the bag. Trust me, it saves hell lotsa time. Oh yeah, I also can spend the extra hour thinking what baju to toss in the bag ;)

Happy Packing!

***pssst, I'm already writing down my singapore trip list.... obsessed much?

my fatal flaw

I enjoy watching tv shows since I was in college... Drama is addictive but personal drama isn't... Believe it or not, there are shows that I haven't stop watching since college, and college is long time ago. Now, one of my favorites is Brothers & Sisters. I love it! The scripts (even though some are a bit melodramatic, tapi still good screenwriting) as well as the actors/actresses...In fact, last Sunday's episode is one of the best for me. I will review the episode probably soon...

Anyway, here's one of Everwood quote......

My Fatal Flaw, by Ephram Brown (Everwood)

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw: my inability to change.

I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse.

So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little.

When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do.

But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again. "
