ah... it feels so good to talk to a good old friend.

CLIFTON!!!

that dude just got back from alaska yesterday. he saw the aurora. i saw the pictures he took.. took my breathe away.

the wonders of nature that the Lord has created.

memories from tucson started flowing back. nothing beats the good old days:)))

clifton, wenyang, louanne, zhenlin, mark and me.

love you all!

i forgot to mention the FISH!!

stroll down a couple of blog entries and you will find a picture of that fish (which is already well, in my stomach :))

i tell you ah, that is one bloody fresh and tasty fish. i'm not a fish person @ all. i'm very sensitive to that fishy smell and it takes alot for me to consume that category of food.

however, that day (while looking for places to dine in lake tahoe), someone told us that we need to go check out that pacific islander restaurant a few shops down. of course, the combo of a singaporean and malaysian ==== GOOD FOOD === CHIONG AH!

oh boy. it was marvelicious....... but abit expensive. 34USD for that = 50SIN.

but since i don't eat fish that often, i think i deserve that :))))

very shiok!

i don't know why sia, these days i'm becoming more and more philosophical than i want to.

not that i want to. i actually kind of hated it. waste of my brain cells sometimes. machiam think so much, things will work out.

i think is because i'm too free sometime. california is nice.. is great actually! but if the Lord can transport all my close friends and family over, that would be mighty fantastic.

laguna beach would look much prettier,
food will taste better,
the mountain would look more majestic,
and of course, i wold definitely think less
how great is that!

feeling quite shitty today.

someone, pls give me the definition of friendship.

is it true that there are some people out there who even though will do alot of things for you, care alot for you and remember what you like to eat, but then like to bicker with you too all the time??

he likes to see me irritated, and i wonder why. this is pretty bloody childish. yesterday i was reading daily bread. the topic was about inner peace.

Isaiah 53:7-9 (New International Version)

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression ^[a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. ^[b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

i want to be like jesus. no matter what was said, sometimes it is okay to remain quiet . no only do i want to be quiet, i want to not even have any emotional feelings stirred in me.

i used to be very irritated and sick to my stomach with all the stupid arguments and senseless comments going back and forth but as time goes by, i am getting more and more immune and feeling rather emotionless towards this friend.

i hope i will still continue to have some love in this friendship as time goes on.

lake tahoe is so pretty isn't it? i'm very blessed.. to be given a chance to see the creations of the Lord.

the amazing grand canyon,
the neon lights of broadway in new york city, empire state building, eating duck noodles in chinatown,
the skyline of chicago up @ 90+ storey @ John Hancock building,
tasting wines at napa valley,
experience the intense cold winter in boston with great friends,
the sunshine, clear blue beaches, sunset blvd and hollywood in los angeles,
the tall mysterious catus & amazing sunset in arizona,
the golden gate beach of san francisco,
overlooking the ocean @ torrey pines in san diego,
skiing up @ lake tahoe, camping in yosemite national park and catalina.

i am indeed very blessed. thank you Lord and of course, my parents too.

these experiences remind me that the world is bigger than what we think it is.

me love my life :))

it was a beautiful. beautiful wedding. the best i attended so far. the ballroom had long glass windows overlooking the lake. gorgeous! the food and service were outstanding and last but not least, it was very personal.. only about 5 tables of guests.

lake tahoe is sure not to be missed when you're in california.

can someone pack for me?? pls??

i like to travel but i hate packing.

i used to love it when i was younger.. i guess is because you would enjoy doing things that doesn't happen often. then, the packing process starts days ahead cause i like to jump-start the enjoyment & excitment leading up to the trip.. now that i travel so often that i've become the queen of turtle when it comes to loading the luggage.

& this time is worse. i CANNOT decide what to wear to the wedding. instead of cracking my head too much (which is already burned out), i just threw everything in. taking the easy way out.

that's life. trying to make my world a less complicated one.

however, i suspect that that ain't happening.

when there is happiness, there will be sadness too.

when you receive, you'll have to give too.

when there is hope, there will be disappointment.

life's pretty fair isn't it?

i want to go there. too darn cool.

skywalk. grand canyon.

tired. phew. packing. organizing.

tahoe in 2 days time. for the wedding.

a time for a short vacation too. i'm tired mentally and physically.

last sunday, lunch was spent having korean food at my favourite tofu house with young and his wife as well as DY, followed by a great afternoon walk around downtown long beach and then to the beach.

it was a very nice day. weather was great and needless to say, great companionship too!

this is the most beautiful gerber i have ever seen. pale yellow.

weeks ago, i went to griddle cafe for breakfast. i lOvE that place, very eclectic & many cool people zipping in and out. i had the baileys and kualua pancake. that was alsolutely fantastic! i was a little apprehensive initially so i ordered a blueberry pancake too. needless to say, i can't finish the 2 gigantic monsters.

oh oh.... near venice beach, there is this chic little cafe opened by a singaporean. me wanted to go check it out so i dragged DY there with me. that area itself was so cool!!!! alot of small little boutiques and very arty farty. anyway, back to the topic on the cafe. the pastries are a little small and not very cheap but they are good :))))

korean seafood soup noodle. D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S
my weekend car :))

okay, finally there are here!!! people have been bugging me on pictures of my new crib. i have been here for about 3 months already. overall, i like it here. the few cons are that my bedroom and kitchen are a little small for me, otherwise, the place is great.

oh, yah and i need to clear the little garden of mine once every few weeks. that kind of sucks. i realise that my talent lies in killing plants. it is not easy to upkeep a house. once in awhile, weekends are spent on just clearing the garden and killing ants.

i would like the clock to wind a few year back

where most decisions revolved around where to eat, what to do and buy or not to buy.

i had to make a decision and that decision of mine might hurt one very badly (chill out; i'm not talking about Mark).

i think i wil continue writing again. my brain needs to retire for the night from all the thinking and phone yakking. SWOT analysis helps actually.

today is harry potter day!!!!

i just got a new baby ---------> CANON POWERSHOT SD1000!!

i need shoes (again!! yes!).

my stuff are outgrowing the house.

ciao!

what you wear, how you present yourself, whether you are a gal or guy make a diff.

on 2 occassions (all within a short period of time), when the bunch of us went for lunch, we got complimentary starter. the bunch of us refers to guys in shirt and tie and me, in business wear.

@ work, i'm well taken care of. that's all i can say... i'm not complaining but sometimes it puts me in an awkward position. i don't really like biases.
