A conversation held the other evening on a cab, with Bee..

Me: 他们说属鸡的人，今年黑色会带来好运. (They said Black is this year's lucky colour for those born in the year of Rooster.)
Bee: Is that why 你在养你的黑眼圈? (Is that why you are nurturing your dark eye circles?)

So I was back in Vietnam again this December, 'cept that this time it's up north instead of Saigon. This time we were abit more adventurous - Pumpkinz came into Vietnam via bus all the way from Hong Kong, and we stayed in one of those backpackers' dorms for one of our accomodations. We no like the latter.

Halong Bay was as commercialized as words ( Read more... )

Dragged myself out of bed before 7am this morning to participate in the street soccer challenge we signed up for.. and how I regretted! Ok, in all fairness, it wasn't all that bad; just that the calf and thigh muscles weren't listening much to what my heart desired, which was to run a teeeeeeeeny weeny bit faster.

The Malay "boys" we played against ( Read more... )

There's sooo many things to look forward to since December has arrived! There's the Winter League which just started over last weekend, and there's Vietnam to fly to this Sunday!

Winter League has forced me to get a new pair of boots after the last one literally fell apart (leaving a trail of pieces of the sole behind while a ran when I last wore ( Read more... )

Lazing on the Tioman beach over the weekend while the rest were busy diving through the day was such a luxury! My first time there, and the Paya Beach resort was really pleasant. According to the Bee, this resort is nice compared to the one at Genting. Will post up some videos soon!

I should really pick up diving soon...

These days, there's totally no mood for work at all. I think I'm starting to lose that line between work and play. Somehow, it seems to revert back to school days, where I dread the moment while I'm facing the work, and I'm stressing over incomplete work while playing.

I need both my due rest and mood for work back. And the right mentality at the ( Read more... )

FRIDAY'S HERE!!! ..Finally. It's been a long week, yet it feels damn short.

Got tagged, so here goes..

( The meemee )

Over a box of cup cakes, I got lots of teasing and probably an indigestion attack in another half hour's time.

The surprise arrival of a box of cup cakes in the office yesterday resulted in non-stop teasing from THE BOYS in the office. They hovered around my table (where the box was) like vultures and the mouths wouldn't stop chirping and the ( Read more... )

I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend, though I'm not too sure how things will turn out to be. It's gonna be a mad rush and I'm not too sure if it's the most enjoyable way to celebrate birthdays. That said, I do look forward to the part where friends gather :)

The pace is picking up at work, and it's really kind of scary. I feel pretty much ( Read more... )

Came Wednesday evening, and I definitely wasn't a willing party to board the plane towards Singapore!

Yes, I'm (sadly) back from Bangkok - the city of pollution; land of shopping; heaven of spicy grilled sotong; place of cheap movie tickets!! Five days seem to fly by, and now the reality of work and everyday-life is creeping back up on me. It was ( Read more... )
