Singapore, the journey begins...

A drive down south across the border was a dream come thru with BKA6600 and assistance of map-applications. Worth a thousand indescribable words and an experience, money can't buy...

Singapore, the journey begins...

I'm Undressed if I'm not Smiling..

Two days ago, my dad collected the Pos-Laju parcel from the post office down-town Klang due to the guy came on 1st May 2014 (super-efficient to be working on a Labour Day holiday).

 

It was a big surprise that KT gifted me vouchers from my favourite coffee joint, San Francisco Coffee!! - "Oh-so-very love it!!" He asked me to get myself a piece of cake and company it with a cup of coffee. But, because I want to commemorate this gift, I'm going to call them up to enquire where I can I exchange the voucher for a merchandize; "the heat-changing mug". I hope it will be for sale (or rather to exchange).

 

Capital FM quoted a line that goes some thing like this, "One is undressed if there is no Smile" while I was driving on Kesas Highway this morning...

 

Since, JT decided to spend time away for the long weekends, our luncheon gathering for the girls was postponed to today. We supposed to have it at Jibby & Co, Empire Subang but it was full and they did not accept pre-book reservation, we adjourned to Chili's instead.

 

I ordered myself a light and healthy chicken taco and to my surprise, it's a rather huge serving. And I can't help smiling at the self-discovered "mickey-mouse" arrangement too. *Grinz*

 

While eating and chatting, JT informed me that Chili's will give free dessert for the birthday-person so, I was being a big mouth to pass on the message to PY and in return, I got a "selamba" tone reply back from her...Geezz, I do feel a little "let-down" with that no-excitement-reply since not everything comes for free everyday.

 

After the tables are clear and I'm still munching the free-flow-nanchos while watching the parents running after their kids and making very short conversations with YH... I do feel that this luncheon was a little boring... After a long while, the parents & kids came back to the tables and started fishing out $$ to pay, without much notice as I was talking to Isabel then, "Happy Birthday to you...." sang by a few waiter and waitress and along came the 'free dessert' with a lighted-candle. I looked up at JT who has a very surprised face expression and then, Isabel started crying as it was rather too loud and must have frighten her.

 

Nobody actually requested me to make a wish before I blow my candle and nobody offer to take photos with me... So, I blew it and just enjoy the free dessert myself with YH taking some shots of me.

 

Happy 35th Birthday to me!

I've 28 birthday wishes in my Facebook, 11 birthday wishes via WhatsApp and 4 birthday wishes via WeChat. That's how many friends I have with the help of social-platforms... *chuckled*

 

After dinner, both Bro and Dad said they forgotten that it's my birthday today. I replied, "It's no big deal, it's just another Sunday." Unfortunately, Mom raised this comment, "My daughter never wishes me on my birthday so I also never wish her on her birthday." This comment lingers thru my mind until I fall asleep...

Dear No One...

Today, I feel that this lyric is just the right thinking of mine too...

I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don’t gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

I don’t really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I’d love to have a soul mate
God will give him to me someday
& I know it’ll be worth the wait

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

Korean Drama : Dong Yi

Yay! I'm done watching this 60 episodes of korean drama...
The last few episodes were a struggle after www.dramacrazy.net shut down...

Dong Yi (Hangul: 동이; Hanja: 同伊) is a 2010 South Korean historical television drama series, starring Han Hyo-joo, Ji Jin-hee, Lee So-yeon and Bae Su-bin.

Synopsis

Set during the reign of King Sukjong in the Joseon dynasty, the series is based on the historical character Consort Suk. The story focuses on Dong Yi, a slave maid working in the Bureau of Music. Her warm personality, sincerity and exceptionally keen mind help her in solving difficult court intrigues and allow her to rise to become first a Lady of the Court and then as a concubine, despite being Lowborn. While solving a case, she meets the King who introduces himself as a Court Judge. He enjoys her treatment of him as a real court judge and falls in love with her. She also gains the favor of Queen Inhyeon and meets Jang Heebin, another concubine who is first an ally but later a bitter enemy. In her quest to survive in court and bring justice to the Lowborn she makes many allies such as Cha Chun Soo (who she considers an older brother though not blood-related), Seo Yong Gi (Police Chief), and Court Ladies Jung and Bong. Dong Yi becomes a concubine with the rank of Sook-bin, bears a son who, under her tutelage, later becomes the 21st king of Joseon, Yeongjo, the father of Crown Prince Sado (whom Yeongjo killed by placing him in a wooden coffin-like rice box to starve as punishment) and grandfather of Yi San.

Cancel Trip to Beijing, Shanghai & Hangzhou

China has always been my last priority or not-to-go country for holiday tour...
Simply being the reason that I speaks Mandarin but are characterly-blind with it... and deep inside me, I've never really fancy the Eastern culture as much... While I'm doing my research in preparation for my work-trip to Beijing and extension for leisure to visit the historical sites, Dad told me I'll turn around with my thinking once I return from it... So, will just wait and see...

Annoucement today by the Group Executive Director, "Due to H7N9, Beijing conference trip is cancel". With mixed feelings... Yeah... Lucky, I've only booked the air ticket from KL to Beijing and nothing else. But, all the reading research effort wasted...

English Translation:
As we’re in the same time, I see you smile
Now only you are in my eyes
Just like fate, each day gets filled with you
It already feels like a thousand years has passed
I only feel you
Against my white skin
Your breath softly touches me
I dream every day
Truly, like a lie
You came to me without a word
The moment you started to breathe
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On
In the same space, I am falling for you
Now only you can feel my heart
You keep pacing through my heart
If I extend my hand, it seems like I can touch you
I only feel you
Against my white skin
Your breath softly touches me
I dream every day
Truly, like a lie
You came to me without a word
The moment you started to breathe
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On
I love you
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
I love you, I love you

After I hear this song, I told FH we are growing apart... and he decided to say goodbye forever.

"Drenched" by Qu Wanting

I'm in love with this song's tune... and "Is it too late to ask for love?"



When minutes become hours
When days become years
And I don’t know where you are
Color seems so dull without you

Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesn’t seem to matter anymore

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I’m drenched in your love
I’m no longer able to hold it back

Is it too late to ask for love?
Is it wrong to feel right?
When the world is winding down
Thoughts of you linger around

Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesn’t seem to matter anymore

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
I’m drenched in your love
I’m no longer able to hold it back

Day 2 of Vietnam @ Halong Bay

We were told our bus pick-up is at 7.30am local time and breakfast will be ready by 6.30am. But unfortunately we had to wait 15-20minutes. It was small serving and we picked "Australian breakfast" as it comes with bacon and sausage.

After breakfast, we had to wait for 15minutes for our bus that goes around the whole Hanoi town to pick-up other people until the bus is full. Journey to Halong harbour is 3 hours. We stopped at a marble-sculpture-factory for toilet-break. This really helped me to 'fix' my aching-soaring buttock. Had naps along the rest of the trip because bus can only go maximum 50km/hour and the roads are rather bumping at some smaller towns we passes by. Along the journey from Hanoi to Halong Bay pier, I noticed lots of tombstone in the middle of the paddy-field or a village; which is an open-field.

At the harbour/jetty, we bumped into the two Filipino men we met at the airport-bus whom are going for 1-day trip to Halong Bay. Feeling hungry while waiting for our boat ride, luckily I still have some leftover bread from Malaysia. First impression of the jetty and bay wasn't so great. We first had to take a motor-driven boat to our Cruise-boat and on the Cruise-boat, we were welcomed with cold towel and it was so refreshing!

Our room is ok but the toilet has a lot of small cockroaches and the lights are very deem thus difficult to see much inside. The windows cannot open unfortunately. The aircond won't be able to function until evening due to the generator is being used to generate power for the Cruise-boat to move along the bay. After putting our 1-day-bag, we meet the rest of them at the dining area and had lunch while enjoying the bay-breeze while it sails.

After lunch, we visit Hang Đầu Gỗ (Wooden stakes cave). Good and we took lots of pictures here.

Kayaking followed after caving and it's Yen Lin's first time on a kayak. For the first 30minutes, we stay at the inner-side of the village and nearer to the cliffs as there are alot of big boats at the outer side of the village. When it's almost time, we tried to go out and was purposely knocked by one of the motor-driven boat that passes by. So scary as I can't swim in open-sea!!

We returned to the cruise-boat for those of us that want to change into swimwears. Nothing impressive of the beach at Đảo Ti Tốp (TiTop Island). We did a 30minutes stairs-climbing upwards to the peak for this small island but it felt like a longer-exhausting climb of 1hour! I need to stop many times along the way to catch-my-breath. The view can consider breath-taking especially with a panaromic camera shot taken and that's when I realised why it's a UNESCO World Heritage site. You got to be up here to "know why".

Sadly, we can't see sunset from our cruise as it's parked rather inner of a cove and it's view is blocked. We had red wine before dinner and I slowly sipped mine at the upper-deck while watching the sunset-orange-rays slowly dissapears into the horizon. The breeze was simply lovely too. Some smaller-rowed-boats returned to their village.

After dinner, I went back to our room for a shower so I can enjoy my complimentary foot massage. Gosh! Showering is a bad experience onboard this cruise! Water is so so hot that it can boil my skin! So, I end-up scooping water from the basin and bidet to wash myself. Lucky, it's not my wash-hair day. 10 minutes of foot massage was simply blissful to get rid of our soars from the climbing. After that, we had a boring experience trying to catch squid wifh a bamboo-stick and it comes along with a neon green-colour artificial miniature octopus as bait. We spend 1 hour and decided to leave it to get our beauty sleep.

No TV in the room and AC was a little weird. At night, felt 2 times some creature crawling on my exposed foot so decided to get into the covers. Gggrrrr... Very hard bed and didn't had a good rest after all.
