of santa claus and snow flakes

This x’mas is going to be a blast. I love year end cos’ everything is perfect. It’s a great way to end the year. Merry x’mas everyone. I’m gonna dream of snow flakes and reindeers.

 

of the vows

to take on life. to take on love.

to take on possibilities. to take on responsibilities.

 

of the evil plastic

i seriously don’t need another bag but i succumbed anyway.

oh, all these luxury bags are killing me.

more broke than broke.

broken.

 

of desires

I think all my friends have gone into hiding. Tonight is seriously a good night for the vice.

Hicks! Mangotini love. Why is my face numb?

i have been waiting for this all week and it’s finally here. whoopedo. i’m a really happy camper. there will be seafood dinner at the kelong with a bunch of lovely friends. i just hope it’s not quad dates! group dates make me cringe, really. the only downside is that i will miss all the greys’ craze going on around in the house right now. can’t have the best of both worlds, can i? next up, x’mas shopping is on the list!

 

of simplicity

i love black and white.
in fact, i’m almost reluctant to venture beyond that.
black and white. white and black.
it really is that simple.

 

of sound advice

i wish you find peace. really.

i’m at a really good place now.

of the hologram and love

the first thing we touched down in HK was to get some eye shut as we were up terribly late the night before to enjoy the last bit of sin city. the band at bellini bar was way amazing! once we have gotten enough rest, we went straight to Lan Kwai Fong to meet K. her friend has recommended prive as one of the best club in town. we ended up searching high and low for the place to no avail! when we eventually got round to it with some helpful directions, we realised it was an only-members club! urgh! and seriously, who is gonna know this is prive with the signage on the floor?!

Lan Kwai Fong on a typical satuday night

it was so crowded! we could barely find a place that gives us a good seat. in the end, we club hopped and had way too much booze. the best place has to be azure on the 26th floor of lan kwai fong hotel. the funniest part was when my tsing dao got confiscated by the bouncer! azure is amazinggggg! we had so much fun until the club decided to put on backstreet boys (!!!). the last mojitos K and I had did us in. I swear it’s a mojito ‘gao’. We left for supper soon and i had to rush back to the hotel to puke. crazy shite. so for the first night in HK, i was nursing a hangover in the hotel loo. madness.

fatty pork noodles with special sauce

this is sooooo good (but sinful) i had to patronise it again before flying home.

mongkok

avenue of stars

it was a challenge taking pictures here cos’ the wind was so strong and the weather was chilly. my fingers were all numbed.

the laser light-up that comes on at 8pm

it was drizzling when i was at lautau island so it was real chilly. we had to grab something warm and nice before going for the climb. the escargots with mashed potato was great. but the best treat was the hot buttered rum latte. i love rum!

a bodhi tree with lots of wishes

plentiful of  hopeful wishes

the beautiful lautau island

i love this place cos’ it is so serene.

if only i’m a little more tolerant to cold, i think i would love the weather here.

we found and played with a really cute dog outside the monastery.

one of the best part about this trip was being able to catch up with a number of friends. after a chilly day at lautau, we headed off to hongkong island to catch J for some roast goose.

peddar street leading to LKF

LKF yet again

what is a trip to hk without a yummy char siew bao?

peak tram station

elle macpherson

this has gotta be my favourite wax figure in the museum. it’s so pretty and live-liked!

cecilia cheung

in madame tussauds

astrogirl wannabe!

i love marilyn monroe too.

yao ming’s super tall!

the peak

it was crazily cold! we were so lucky to be up there earlier to catch the night view cos’ thereafter the place got so fogged up from the cold weather that we could not see a single thing. but it was really lovely while it lasted. we got a kick out of eating gelato outdoor in this weather.

sunny bay

love disneyland!

photography house

everywhere looks sooooo amazing through the hologram. hearts, hearts and more hearts.

disneyland cityhall

looking through the hologram just makes me melt into a puddle of love.

bakery

we had the yummiest blueberry danish here!

centennial hall

plaza inn

what’s a theme park without a carousal?

it’s absolutely enchanting.

my favourite part of the night!

i can’t believe i camped around for 30 mins just to get a good seat for this.

so kiasu! typical singaporean!

and so it begins . . .

the fireworks

using the hologram, it’s a firework show of hearts.

hues of rainbow

wonderful fireworks

tinge of red in disney

the disney finale

ooooh. so so beautiful.

i tear every single time i watch the fireworks cos’ it’s so awesome. thank you for the kleenex.

bye and so long.

LOL. cute!

 

of more

you never think that the last time is the last time and you think you can have more. you think you might have forever. but it is the last time.

 

of the sin city

i love huge washroom that comes with shower, bath and loo separately like mad. it just makes complete sense to build washrooms this way. i’m truly impressed with the service rendered by the hotel. we arrived with a whole lot of delightful surprises and perks awaiting us. i feel so very pampered. the service is top notch and i will so visit again. in fact, i was half reluctant to venture out of the hotel cos’ the stay was so amazing.

every trip to the sin city starts with a humble plate of takopachi.

the weather is amazing in the day.

i was hoping that i can take a ride on the gondola while wandering along an indoor street after dinner but to no avail. it’s a real pity cos’ i think they have knocked off for the day.

this is the only peek of the forbidden castle that i can manage. i swear i have not seen so many chinese in my entire life. we have tried our hands at different kinds of poker, slot machines, roulette table and some other random games. i have since concluded that roulette is the way to go as we are pretty much hopeless at the rest. the language barrier boo boo was the funniest incident at sin city. oh, and  we have also discovered that craps is the most popular table.

awesome and majestic

and it’s beautiful when the night falls . . .

With the wind that gets pretty strong at times, the weather is a little chilly at night. the trench coat has been a godsend. i’m all wrapped up but i wish i had gloves with me cos’ my fingers are perpetually icy cold.

seriously loving the LX3 to bits. it is the best investment of 2009.

the tinge of red.

the tinge of blue.

the tinge of cyan and violet.

the light in the dark

the lovely venetian.

don’t you just love clock tower?

on the street of senado square

ruins of st. paul’s

view from the top

cathedrals are always so hauntingly beautiful. i missed out on throwing coins through the windows of the ruins for luck though.

street leading to the ruins

my impression of the sin city is that it is a quaint little island with nothing but lots of casinos and glamour. so what’s a trip here without visiting the various casinos? the grand lisboa is nothing but grand.

sands is pretty great too.

bye sin city.

completely enchanted, such a charming place.

 

of the C’s & the crave

::of the double C’s::

i like things in tiny little boxes

immaculate and pristine

the sheen the gloss and the shine that blinds

makes the heart flutters where it tingles the most

 

hair, grow, hair.

i yearn for what i cannot have.

the greatest inertia comes when uploading pictures.

sales is the new vulgar five letter word in town.

bali, oh, bali.

 

of the barenaked face

It has become increasingly easy to bare it all. I wonder if it is a sign of ageing or the complacent state of mind. Sometimes, it is really good to let all the ugly naked bits hang loose. At the very least, we know it is real. And when faced with such a circumstance, will you still walk the walk? I supposed only time can tell.

 

of euphoria

this has been sucha awesome trip. I’m so freakin’ broke . and there’s another trip to go. so tired and missing the weather back there already. doing up the new itinerary is a major pain.

 

of jetsetting

i like year ends.

everything is nicer and  better.

the inner selves unleashed.

we can be ourselves.

we get to run free.

i’m going to do just that.

wake me up before december ends.

hi, pearl of orient.

 

of liberation

i can already imagine myself at the 4-storey (!) H&M store on queen’s street. i hope as i’m shopping away at another part of the world, all the parcels will arrive safely in my mailbox. i’m a shopaholic at heart. i can only count on the shopaholic sister to check on the packages diligently. well, we had to  go through the obligatory begging and bribing. so yes, the goodies from H&M will decide on my missing packages’ fate.

mario is the loveliest dog today. medication time was a breeze and took a mere 5 minutes. seriously, we couldn’t have ask for more. the scratches on my thighs from last night is a war zone. at the rate his good behaviour is going,  we are all going to be quite scratch-free. the red bumps have subsided and the skin has improved tremendously. this must have been the most well-spent $70. he is our handsome pooch once again.

 

of medication

If there is anything more frustrating than missing and delayed packages, it is force-feeding mario his medicine. It is THAT difficult. The heart is heavy. I hope the slumber will take away part of the nagging feeling in the recesses of my heart. Good night world.

p/s: feeling particularly emo tonight. I supposed typing this entry under the sheets plays a part. Love the blackberry to bits.
