Search for memories - Europe trip hotels

Today i had a gathering with some of my new found Europe friends. Again memories of the lovely Europe trip came back to me. Soooo sad...that i had decided to embark on yet another project. A super mini one if my memory don't fail me.

Shall trace back to ALL the hotels we stayed during the 15 days trips from Paris- Switzerland - Italy!

hahaha...well well nothing better else to do. shall post the pics on FB or here. Decide when i can actually find the pics first.

Alritey... toodles for now!

Being a lady of leisure

Many times the above thought had fleeted through my mind. Think there never seem to be a minute or a day that i do not think about it.

I want to escape. I want my 'ME' TIME. I want to NOT worry about having no $$. I just want to be me.

Work work work and especially working in LOREAL builds not only your resilience but your aptitude. Your ability to think fast sharpens and all you do everyday is FIGHT fire.

When is a day i don't have to FIGHT fire. When... do i need to look elsewhere. Am waiting for my 2 years, afterwhich i think i have enough. I just want to move on.

K...another mindless post. but hey peektures time.

New Project - VNA 45 Not-so-Singaporean places

2 weeks ago i saw this article in Cleo talking about 45 places in Singapore that can actually take someone out to another country altogether! true enough the way the photo came out was quite interesting.

That sparked me to go discuss with V. About how our weekends are sometimes boring and uninspiring! So I said hey we have a car...i have a camera...lets head out to these places and replicate the same thing.

Plus we have a long weekend coming up that we aren't heading anywhere. So come on...

so TODAY after church service in Jurong, we finally embarked on our first destination from the West. these are the piccies which i think not bad after going thru Picnik (my fav website for photo editing)

Enjoy and continue to check my FB out for new places. and of coz not forgetting the behind the scenes too. =)

Enjoy

Treasured Moments worth millions

Over the weekend, i attended my bestest Gong-Gong funeral. He was 92. Was sad that he had to go but i realised it was a release from his illness also. So am glad he was able to leave quietly and painlessly (apparently with just 2 coughs, he caught the last breathe and passed on with the maid beside him).

During the past 4 days, i had time to be in Pontian at the wake with my cuz, my ah Ma, my parents & my siblings. The time spent was soooo precious. I had quality time with my sis and my bro without our own other halfs. Also suddenly i realised how old my parents are and how they ain't strong like I know them before. I saw a side of my dad i never saw before and i want to be a better daughter to both my parents.

I wanna spend more moments with all my loved ones. Top most priority!

A mindless tiff

Ok...since i am on a roll of remembering that i have a blog. shall blog one more ...about the silly tiff i had with V.

I think i get cranky all the time when my period is near (meaning yet again sooon). So yet again i AM feeling cranky and irritated TODAY. So i really don't feel like doing anything but laze around after work.

Not helping i fell abit sick during work...weird stomach & a sudden bout of fever hit me. Anyhow i got over it i think with tons of water. So just wanna relax. But NO dear MR V wants to go jog, when dear me is sick...tired & hungry. I just want to have a decent meal.

So i got him to go to our fav zhi char store and order like a 3 dishes meal. But i did tell him the moment i got on the car...i don't feel well ...just wanna have a decent meal and maybe skip the JOG!!!

But V kept pushing me to do the STOOPID friggin jog. From after dinner...till after my daily dose of drama... still insisting i go walk walk or stroll stroll with him. I SNAPPED!!! I banged the door...i slammed the cupboards while changing. I just don't feel like GOING!!! So in the end i was out of the front door and my last slam on the door snapped his nerve too. So V stormed back in the house and said to NOT go jogging anymore.

Seriously can anyone feel glad and guilty all at the same time?! At that moment i felt that! hurhur... oh well ...so more slamming and shouting... in the end ....cooling period....

he went to wash clothes and i went to bathe...silence filled the house.....

Then my guilt took over and i went to say sorry for being such a bitch but truly i REALLY don't want to jog today. And ta-dah...KISS & MAKE UP!!!

the stories of my colorful life with V..sometimes quite childish and hilarious!!! thought i pen this down and laugh at it a few month later how totally mindless this is....and UNNECESSARY!!!

okie...time for nap! V's a-calling!!!

Revisiting Addy's blog during office hours!! OOPS!

Little Sophie

Little Angel

Firstly i have to SAY I AM NOT FREE! It is just this sudden urge to visit my super stagnant blog and add some colors to it.

Well I have been visiting this sad sad blog on and off but basically was reading my past entries and just having a good laugh. I used to write diaries and till date still laugh when i read them. So i guess i enjoy laughing at my own weird antics.

Yes and i think more often than NOT, as i see a pattern appearing i realised i like to be abit ditsy to people rather than serious. Guess 2 sides to everything you say. To each his own...honestly i can't care less truly. mmm...so people think i don't act my age AKA Addy is childish. (But of coz people pretend they are NICE so they don't say it in SO MANY words) Haiz...

Oh well working in LOREAL for like a year and a half. I had learnt to NOT be SOOOO mindful of what other people say. I mean my whole team including my boss is younger than ME. So what else do i have to say but hey eat the humble pie and just do what people asked. And not forgetting what office peeps call me - Addy-JIE!! Hows that!!!

Anyway...again NO point to this blog. Just rambling on my antics and trying to think the basis of my blog. Hahah...guess i am escaping to blog rather than thinking of the latest promo or latest marketing strategy i want to hit the suckers out there. Hurhur...oops did i just type that!? No no truly LOREAL products are great. So far all i have tried...least the CPD side...okie. For the price we pay...good quality stuff. Who says everything got to be branded.

Shucks...tick tick tick. I need to squeeze some creative juices out! Arrrgh. Oh well..guess blogging also is a form of triggering creative juices. lalalalaa....

Oh yes another topic been at the back of my mind. Being PREGGERS!! Enough of the preggers leh!! Everywhere i go and peeps i know are becoming preggers and all they YAK NON STOP ARE BABIES here, there, EVERYWHERE! Gosh... why why WHY are people in a hurry to be preggers after they get married?! is there all to it after married?! Popping a kid and lalalala... i don't think so, right?! K fine what do i know! I am not even close to being pregger!!! (to anyone reading this...and if YOU ARE a pregger, pls don't take this any other way!! I am not SLAMMING preggers! just voicing out an inner opinion which had been bugging me!) Oh back to my paragraph point, recently i met Summer (one of my fren from OMD last time. She got married and left for Sweden with her hubby. 1 year later, out comes beautiful Angel). It is amazing how much she had changed and how her whole life perspective just changed coz she got a little girl. She and her hubby used to be party animals, and now all she does in Sweden is cooking...cleaning after her girl....cleaning ....basically a HOUSEWIFE!!! gosh how is that possible.... anyways...childish thought alert on THAT!

FINE secretly i do try to do a mental picture of me ...V ...and a baby! Guess what - mind draws BLANK! hurhur...guess u can't do mental picture, except to have the real thing!! heeeee

K Shit ...better go back to my A&P matters! break long enough!!!!

that's all folks!! till the next burst of inspiration for this poor blog!!

The Real Honeymoon bliss to Europe!

Wow! sooooo fast been a month since i am back to this bleargh place called Singapore. Wish i am back in Switzerland enjoying the beautiful snow and cold cold weather.

Where do i start? Am sooooo happy my dear V had decided to bless me with this trip, its almost the trip that will never happen. We had always talk about it but never really put our mind to it. Coz you know Europe do not come cheap. So viola... after V's bonus, he went to book the tour package from Dynasty.

Initial take was to live dangerously and go F&E. But after checking and planning decided to screw it and just go with the tour. I thought tour packages will be hectic and unexciting. BUT we were pleasantly surprised with our tour. The peeps were great and our tour guide - Mr David Soh is indeed one of a kind. All in all we had our fair share of fun and WOEs!!!

As you can see from below, it seems jam packed but it was really enjoyable. The bestest time we had were in Switzerland. The image of snow falling and me tasting snow, it was truly amazing. Plus we had a Swiss Alps mountain spa, its totally cool. Imagine the cold air surrounding you and you are almost half naked in the midst of the snow mountains. How cool is that.

Though the trip did end on a sad note but i guess i just have to really truly remember each and every moments. Well put it plainly ...our Rome hotel room was burgled into on the last night of the tour. So we lost our cash (lucky NOT the passports) + my beloved camera containing 2500 pictures. Well thinking about it which is worst, us sleeping through the entire episode or you would rather wake up and face the burglers (risking that the burglers might have guns or knife).

I don't know. But am sure glad to have found some kool and like-minded tourmates. And now we are planning for our next adventure (though we do have a BIGGER adventure - like having kids). Oh well shall see how it goes. Be natural right....if it happens it happens...

Oh well almost a month...you can go check out my facebook and see whatever pictures that i could gather from other tourmates cameras. Guess thats all i can say to Europe. Perhaps least that what V promised - we shall go there AGAIN!!! Maybe minus ROME. heheeeee

k that's it for now. till the next post...hopefully soooooon.....

My CNY is BURNT and i am feeling miserable!

Ok i need to rant and rave!

Just got news that V's grandpa passed away. i know i am probably being super selfish BUT BUT it is CNY in 1 week time! I have made all grand plans to totally pamper myself this weekend after that dreaded JMA meeting. all these are going down the drain all becos of THIS!!!

arrghhh...Why am i feeling angst about this whole thing? Just sian that suddenly all plans that i have for CNY are gone. no more merry making...no more visiting Pontian which i only get to go like once a year. I can't see my cuz though i am guess they prob do not miss me that much. and sian coz i feel like going MUAR is like going to prison!!! The god forsaken place!!!

Even though the place is done up very nicely but just can't help feeling dreadful and utterly sick of spending 3hrs driving up to that ulu place away from SG.

Oh well ...thats my burst of anger! needed an avenue to air my grievances. *sobs
