tv addict

i regret and take back my words that 岁月风云 is a lousy showwww
its freaking exciting and nice!!!

anyway wanted to say this line in the show is sooo damn apt and true...

对敌人最好的报负就是帮助他 让他永远亏欠你

i like.

while surfing...

came across this line as i was web-browsing...

"The six most important words: I admit I made a mistake. The five most important words: You did a good job. The four most important words: What is YOUR opinion? The three most important words: If you please. The two most important words: Thank You. The one most important word: We. The least important word: I." - Author Unknown

How apt!

One impt lesson for a sleepy rainy sundayyyyy, blow wind blowwww

HCMC 20-22 September

Many First...

First time sitting on the plane alone.
First time checking in on my own.
First time sleeping in the hotel in a foreign land alone.

Alrightyyy pictures time!



610am, home to changi airport, thanks for the ride in the comfy papa ngiam's car!

Empty saigon flight. in flight entertainment is DA best, reminds me of the painful jetstar flight to bkk, heh, im a spoilt brat.

wah lau eh, there are no driving lanes in HCMC, the cars are everywhere, and they go in all directions and even against red traffic light, the motorcycles are like moving on the roads alike pedestrians, all over the place. i have been taught that the way to cross the road is to do it on a constant speed so that they can siam you properly. i almost died twice in hcmc when the motor brush past me. scary!

First meal in saigon, apparantly, bill clinton came by this stall just for their famous beef noodles in the past. but he came once, and the whole store was his pictures, as if he came many times. hahah

belly belly the "gao" soursop drink, up to a point, my weak lungs cannot suck finish the drink. im serious lor!

AH-ha! my top favourite in this store, fried rice rolls with prawns, is damn nice esp when the whole prawn can be eaten, shioknesssss. bo bian, im a sucker for fried stuff.

the famous Ben thanh market. sorry ar the weather was too freaking hot for me to take a picture of the building. its alike chinatown wet market i guess, they have everything inside, people sit by the stores to take their meals, quite a nice culture i feel. super freestyle.

are you thinking what i was thinking then? remember how supermarkets and OG shopping centre will always have aunty and ah beng sales man selling fruits peeler, juice market, steamer etc. i found the saigon version here! just beside the entrance of the market.

if i ever step into this shop to buy things, i think i will faint and die, buried under the many beads and pearls in the shop, super giddy can!

and of course, sua ku me had to sit down and join the locals for a taste of their famous local dessert. dunno whats the name, but its like their version of chendol to me, just that its suppose to have like 10 kind of food items inside, red bean, ginko nuts, and something that look like bee hoon to me, too sweet for my liking.

high classs shopping, dont have money go us for marc jacobs, just go to hcmc.

one my favourite stops admist our tight schedule in saigon. the post office. super ancient looking building, the picture here cannnot justify how nice it looks in reality. i was awwww over by the very look of this building, lets take a look inside:

people buying stamps and sending parcel.

my super duper favourite item of alll countries i visit. TELEPHONE BOOTHS!!!!

i wish i could visit the ang mo countries one soon! see superman inside. or issit some other man -_-''

tell you, the phone booth has aircon inside, i just had to go in and take a pic and escape for the hot like hell weather.

A trip to our vietnam office!

Had dinner here, a visit i recommend if you visit saigon soon.

this is actually a tea for you to waste your taste buds i think, taste like tea but has a slight mint taste.

As my office peeps has been calling me, i became a pork convert/addict/ pervert while i was there. but i tell u, i have such "high" stds for food right, this grilled pork is to die for. the smell of the charcoal only taste good enough. anyway it has nothing to do with the pork, its the grilled. next time buy vietnam charcoal for bbq =) i had 2 plates of it, too good to miss!

Me no eat snail, snail not nice.

Prawn and pork fried pancake, to satisfy my fried food craving!

this is not so nice, sweet potato and something else pancake. eat already face as oily as pancake.

Day 2 - 21 Sept

Conference room of Sofitel Hotel. Where i had my first overseas presentation, and my very good translator colleague lan khan. very nice lady, had alot to talk to her. ok i know what you are thinking, i have alot to talk to anyone right? kns!

a must visit for all S*B-ians. fanny ice cream! money worth guarantee.

My baileys icecream, but no baileys taste. Good enough to counter-attack the hot weather thou.

OKays! my Hotel room.

i love the bed, i can roll over twice! dunno why but i just love to sleep on hotel bed.

free high speed internet access

This is how messy my room became after one whole day of conference and exhibition.

回家咯！

6-ish am, bright and busy liao.

and so i couldnt sleep and end up watching stephen chow “唐伯虎点秋香“

before i leave the hotel, one final shot of the scary hotel toilet with alot of mirror everywhere, even infront of the toilet bowl, and my face! face not scary hor!

Goodbye Saigon!!!!

CIndys thinking...

Taken in 06, i must have been thinking for a long long time till nowwww.

life can be happiee...

even happie as an abnn..


Ahhh, i just need to remind myself, life is gooood!
Too emo for my own good!

Gambatte!

hello! got people read one or not arh???

ok thats lame,

anyway im here to blog about a new theory that i came up with about love after a long long long dwarfs dialogue session.

For many girls, r/s comes in different forms, one goes like this:

Its like riding a bicycle, your guy will ride the bicycle really hard at the start, you ll feel warm and happie. and because you are contented. he stops pedaling.. the bicycles starts to go straight for a while and then it starts to wobble. Just before when you are about to fall, you realise someone is pedaling hard again. and before you know it i will have to repeat this para. you can imagine how your heart beats with this.

Dont correct me if im wrong, for if you know me well enough you would know i have nv been in any r/s. i have only learnt to love myself, hiaks.

Food for thought, after my creativity class to try to explain complicated things easily to my friends.

Will be back to blog about my farewell from last deployment.

ciaos, soooo tireeeed =(

im feeeling....

tired now.

im lazy to even explain where the tireness is coming from.

just weary i guess

well for those whom may have heard, my grandma is fine, looking much better now.

i guess death never felt soo close before when we almost lost her a week ago. till now, i vividly remember how i could hardly breathe as i made my way to the hospital from home, the voice of my teary dad. my soaked-up tee while trying to keep her awake.

im just glad all is good now.

just want to say thank you to some of you for the text sms and stuff. it was as good as having you guys around, esp my 2 best friends hys and maine. thank youu. for checking on me every other day, as if you guys were with me through out. kept me sane at least for a while. these things are really those that matters to me the most at the end of the day.

that aside, im heading into countdown mode for my current attachment. im soo sure im going to miss the girls at my dept and my father-ly boss. the rapport and support will be my memories to keep. the craziness we have been through working together marks the best days in here.

alrights, that shall be all, i will be back soon. CATCH ME!
