Jetting off

Not an unusual routine, but this time round is my 1st time jetting off for a holiday as a tour guide with my family members!!!

Bonne anniversaire de chinois!

Greetings from paris!!! i bet everyone had a great reunion dinner. i had an early one with my set of crew last nite. and on the actual day (paris time), i had the following.....




Milky seafood cup noodles frm japan, pineapple tarts and bah kwa from home! reunion with me myself and I.haha




the milky seafood is really good, it has quite a bit of taco pieces.yums but gets a little gelat towards the end.



i thought i am going to have a good rest in paris. but ended up 1st day was making my way to galleria to run some errands. it was a crazy saturday.

1st- i was suppposed to meet the crew at 1pm to go to the galleria mall but when i woke up,it was 1.15pm.i intended to nap for just half an hr.I was in shock.now i had to make my way to galleria alone, a place which i have never been and a distance from the hotel. i was thinking "aiya heck la might as well walk abt 15 mins to champ elysee to grab my friends' LV and go back". I, however decide to make my own way to galleria and look for the crew as i do not want to risk making my way back on a deserted path ALONE with one big LV bag . I cant afford to pay for my friend's LV bag.ha

So i asked for directions and got on a bus to galleria without knowing the exact bus stop. was glad the driver understand english, he directed me the stop and i got off,walked and asked for more directions. i got myself in galleria eventually.

me on the bus trying to smile but was actually on the balls in case i missed my stop.

2nd nightmare- LV was flooded. wasn't it suppose to be recession now??? i finally got the bag and wallet after 1 hr plus in the shop, jus waiting waiting and queueing.

3rd- i still need to queue again to get the form for tax rebate.so another half an hr. But i was glad to bump into the crew at the mall, cos i realised i forgot to ask for the directions back to the hotel. i was already ready to just read the map and figured my way home.

by the time i got back to the room, it was already 6pm.

then was early reunion dinner with the set of crew... as the grp was big, our dinner only ended at 10plus pm after some rounds of wine. i concussed abt 11pm in my room.

our dessert for reunion dinner.

The precious bags that were not mine but am sure were stained with my blood and sweat.whaha

The next day, i wanted to rest rest and nua. lunch was just intended to be 2 or even just myself. ended up to be 4 . and i was dragged by my colleague to Champ Elysee. was thinking of just making a short trip there to look for some skincare prdts which hoh's sister is looking for. the short trip ended only at 7pm! i regretted going there seriously, too much time wasted in a group and the prdts i discovered, could actually be found just opposite my hotel. WTF.

the walk there made me visit arc de triomp for the 4th time.

noticed the south park sticker on the label.ha so lame.

the famous LV building along Champ Elysee

Side track a bit, some pictures from my last paris trip just in december.

so qiao i got rostered with lifeng and his bro.

Some of my fave pics from that trip.

the good company

chanel lovers can try this in their garden.

the ever mesmerising blinking tower.

Yeah , gonna sleep now and work my way back.then its home on chu er! cant wait!

Yet another reunion dinner not at home. BOooo big time. but at least i get to come back by Chu er. How do i say gong xi fa cai in french? Bye Singapore, hi to cold cold paris. i wanna bring bah kwa and pineapple tarts there to immerse myself in the CNY mood.

Merry Merry xmas n happy new year!

Been super busy with all the celebrations and gatherings! But super happy too..enjoyed myself totally! feels great to be around with loved ones during festive season.

but..i've got simply no time to for the stuff that i m suppose to do.

1.finish the little nyonya that i've missed when i m abroad.

2. clear up my messy closet and room. (gonna take years)

3. clear up my cargo ( haven even really empty my cargo since i touched dwn on 20th)

4. Look for another cargo and claim it.

5. Look for another lens cover. (lost it on xmas day, boo)

6. Pack for the next trip.

7. cut my hair

8. start planning for my hkg trip in feb and book accomodation .

...and the list goes on..

i wish we have 48 hrs a day.

And worst of all, my leave is coming to an end..i m still feeling festive!haha..

Merry Xmas n happy new yr!!

SICK

here i am, alone in Los Angeles, feeling sick, lonely and miserable. I have never thrown up so much in my life, my stomach has never felt so empty. i have just become the PR of the dear toilet. dunno which damn food cause me so much trouble on my flight and make me look so bad.
instead of being sympathetic, i felt dirty looks.

i wanna go home...

perhaps the only comfort is my flat tummy now.

Very random

Weekends are always too short.
Me and hoh wasted our weekend nuaing. Saturday evening spent running errands, sunday we reached Hort park only @ 5pm to welcome the rain and later dinner with my family.
Ok sunday was my fault cos i slept only at 6am on sat to wake up to a freaking 3pm, blame it on jet lag.

Sunday night was again a sleepless night, i had to pop melatonin in order to induce sleep at 2am!
I hate that feeling.

anyway, I wish we'll have more discipline to wake up earlier next time to enjoy a longer weekend.

New york entry is in the making but i am off to sydney tonight. (hi again, aiwen! haha)
and my milan photos are way overdued. I give up.

Talking about discipline

Things were fine in a group. no strong urge to buy anything while the rest shopped and buy.

I don't like pressure while shopping, nor ppl waiting for me so i left the group with the aim of taking pictures leisurely...

Then this got over me...

So i ended up with the following. Shit....

It must be fate. i shopped the 1st 2 prada stores with the crew but there were no stock of the colour i fancy. the 3rd one ,i went in alone and that's it. i got the wallet i was eyeing almost a yr back.. my fave was white but i will not get another white wallet to dirty it in a month. so...i settled for the 2nd best on my 4th trip to milan... only on my 4th trip.. so am i disciplined or not? ha
