Short Weekend Getaway

September 14, 2008 - 2 Responses

I know, I know, I have neglected this little blog of mine…

Not going to write much tonight, because its late and i gotta get some sleep real soon, but I thought I’ll just upload some pictures from a recent weekend trip to Batam, Indonesia (my semi-homeland) to share. It was a short getaway, just 3 days over the weekend…and while my intention was to go cable ski-ing, I ended up just holing up in the resort all day (it was rainy) then venturing out in the evenings via some DANGEROUS, madcap RAVING Cab rides for some great,cheap seafood! Also nostalgic was the A & W, which I really miss because we don’t have it in Singapore anymore,such a shame.

This month is really all about extreme overindulgence of seafood for me…I’ve just been eating so much it’s the first time i feel a little sick of seafood now, as a matter of fact I got sick because of seafood! Not for too long though.

                                                               Island kitty

                       Go-karting…i went really slow because i was so worried about the bends!

Can u believe this was polished up by just me and Derrick? 
                         “Crayfish” …I think they were actually Mantis prawns.The seafood were all LIVE and we get to pick them from tanks, and decided how to prepare them. This was buttered and fried… really good.

I’m getting bitten by the travel bug again, just keep wanting to get out of Singapore for some reason. Singapore is a great place to live in ,yes but sometimes you just feel like there’s really nothing much interesting to do!

OK Goodnight!

43things to do

Always wanted to do something but never quite sure you can do it on your own? Now you can say it out to the world and find out how many people have the same inspirations as you! 43things.com  let you make a list of up to 43 things you want to do with your life;it can be anything, really from learning the piano to falling in love to making more money! Once you’ve put in your thing-to-do you can get to see the list of people who share the common objective.From there you can cheer each other on, leave comments or tips…eventually when you have achieved what you set out to do, you can put a “I’ve done this!” next to your accomplishment. 

So far on My list, I have 3 things:

1) Stop slouching

2) Be on time for work (I’ve been late recently) 

3) Drink more water

Arguably quite achievable things. I will think of more things to put on the list.

Ready for Summer: The Balloon Tote

  The good old beach tote gets a stylish update this summer with some interesting fabric prints, check out these cute balloon totes from OldNavy at $19.50 (about SGD$26.50). I am eyeing the black one, think it’s good enough for lagging all my stuff around on the weekends as well!

It’s already July?

A quick update to anyone who gives a cherry about what I’ve been doing with these past few weeks/months.Beside not blogging.

- Still pulling long hours at the agency on most days, although I try to get off work at a decent hour if I can help it. I get home at about 8pm most days, sometimes 9pm,eat a home cooked dinner, take a hot shower, watch some TV, check my personal email and catch up on my celebrity gossip and fashion blogs , and then collapse into bed with a soothing mask to detox the day away.

- I caught the Sex and the City Movie. And then I got the fabulous movie soundtrack.And now I have the SATC theme song as my default ringtone. Yes it suffice to say I loved the movie. 

-  I’m going to have to take my driving theory test AGAIN!! in August and starting my practical lessons.

- I’m becoming re-aquainted with Second Life again, particularly in the Second Life fashion scene.It is really apt to say that Second Life IS Fashion…why else would you want to earn all that lindens for,other than to dress your avater up to look like a (cyber) milion bucks?  I’ve always, ALWAYs had a secret wish to be involved in fashion design somehow,some way…but in real life I can hardly sew a button on properly.So becoming a digital fashion maven suddenly sounds very appealing and much more achievable with some photoshop skills, creativity in texture and layering…and Ta da! I’ve been lurking around this massive e-social sphere a lot these days, absolutely fascinated about its possibilities and new media potential.

One of the first dresses I’ve created for my avatar, a tube dress with belted details on the waist,and a tulip skirt with floral print details. I am a budget SL-er though, have not invested a real dime into the game.The flexi hair was scored in a fatpack at only 10L..the earrings was a freebie, so was the skin. One do not have to invest real money to have fun in this game!
