a piece of my sky.
took this on the bus ride back home from my school's leadership camp. i love how the clouds look, they remind me of the hashima my mom cooks. i love nature and im always fascinated by how nature seems so beautiful, untouched. i love the sky and the sea especially. the sound of crashing waves against the shore, coupled with the refreshing water engulfing me in it is the best remedy for me. renewal. rebirth.
lots of thoughts, unspoken words and unexpressed emotions. where do i start? they say opportunities don't know twice on your door. or rather, the same opportunity doesn't knock twice on your door. once you miss the ferry, it's gone. so, why cling onto something that doesn't belong anymore? since it's gone, it must have the intention of leaving. why keep trying at it?
relationships. i think it's the most complex thing in the world. in today's society, with the availability of technology, how true are relationships? 'confirm' or 'not now'? with the click of the mouse, many of us have accepted friend requests from online 'friends' whom we've not even met before. yes, this facebook thing is called a social networking tool. but... how often do we even communicate, i mean chat, with this so-called new 'friend'? and why do we need a 'friend' whom we've not even met before, will not be meeting (if this person is in another country which we don't even visit?) and will possibly never meet in this lifetime?
to find out more about other cultures?
to have a free host should we happen to visit the country?
but... how much can we trust this person?
with technology, the issue of fidelity comes up. i read from one of my friend's facebook status which was about whether porn-watching is an infidelity. temptations are everywhere. let's not talk about porn-watching. there are other clandestine dealings which has to do with internet chats as well, especially targetted at the young, the naive, the lost ones, the ones who are beyond redemption. but there's no way to put a stop to all these. there are just too many wolves behind the screens. which is the one holding onto the key to pave our success and which is the one with evil motives masked beneath the screen chatting with their preys?
we never know. life seems to be like a chess game. do we have the integrity to finish the game without cheating?

we celebrated our 4th year anniversary yesterday. :) it started off with lunch at my house. mommy and i both cooked. heh. i decided to cook a dish every saturday since it's somewhat the 'holidays' now. :))
darling surprised me with a bouquet of 3 sunflowers before we set off for vivo. so sweet of him. :)
on our way to vivo...
my beloved and very precious miu miu. :p
we had dinner at Jewel Box at Mt Faber. whee! i was so elated because i had never dined there before! we rarely splurge on food. ;( but it's okay, we are not the high-life kind of people.
my darling~
Sapphire. where we had our dinner. :)
honestly, the food here at Sapphire is splendid. it didn't take too long for the food or wine to arrive. also, both the sirloin steak and my seafood were just nice, and not over-cooked at all! :)) im very satisfied with the food here, as compared to my previous experience at the Lighthouse @ Fullerton Hotel where i treated darling for his birthday. i felt the food there was just so-so, even though it's quite a high-end Italian restaurant.
anyway, back to the food at Sapphire. the pictures will do the talking.
the succulent and delicious Sirloin steak!
my grilled squid and tiger prawns in soy sauce.
the Sirloin steak he had was very juicy and yummy. even i, the not-a-beef-fanatic, fell in love with the steak. heh. the grilled exterior of the steak which had a nice slight charred taste with the overall tenderness of the steak and the perfectly concocted sauce, was really heavenly. for my grilled squid and tiger prawns, i was a little hesitant on ordering this initially as i was afraid the portion would be rather small. however, when it arrived, i was very certain the portion is just right for me. :)
upon sinking my teeth into the squid, i was pleasantly surprised. the squid was not tough at all, it was chewy and tender! i've never tasted grilled squids which are not over-cooked and as tender as this! the tiger prawns, needless to say, were fantastic as well since im an avid prawn lover. :)
all in all, it was a nice and delightful dining experience at Sapphire at Mt Faber. i would go back there again, anytime! the food is good and the wine is not too expensive as well. also, the view from the top coupled with the lighted cable cars was captivating and enchanting.
thanks darling. :)) happy 4 years anniversary, tomorrow! haha.

the pink christmas deco in Takashimaya!
my Ettusais haul! :p
Zero Pore Pact & Sparkling Pact
I LOVE THE BEARS!! i think pink is a very refreshing colour for christmas. :))
anyway, darling and i were near Metro Paragon when i saw the huge 20% off signboard! and the first thing that came to my mind was ETTUSAIS!! haha. i ran up the escalator excitedly to lay my hands on the new foundation which i had been contemplating on buying. ;p
anyway, before the SA served me, i saw two girls with their purchases at the Ettusais counter. but, what caught my eye wasn't the two girls or their purchases. it was the 2011 Ettusais organizer! Woohoo!! i have this soft spot for Ettusais gifts with purchases. they are all soooo cute and irresistable.
i ended up buying the new Ettusais duo foundation, the casing (separately, because my colour shade doesn't come with the casing in a package unfortunately -_-"), and the usual make-up base. :)
my Ettusais haul! :p
i love the pink casing of the duo foundation. it's so girly and sweet. i know it's so unlike me but still... im a girl at heart yah? anyway, i've tried the Zero Pore Pact, Sparkling Pact, up till now. love the sparkling pact as it has a sheer coverage, but i have a love-hate relationship with the glitters. on days when my skin is very sensitive, it tends to react with the glitters in the foundation a little. but still, i use it alternately with other foundations. so when the Duo foundation came out, i was elated.
Zero Pore Pact & Sparkling Pact
so anyway, i shall try out the Duo foundation and see how it goes. i hope its as good as it claims!

Okay, i lost my nexus one AGAIN and this time its really gone for real. i've come to the conclusion i can't live without my nexus one. ;( cos i miss the luxury of having Google at my fingertips at any place, whenever i need it.
rachel won the best dressed award ($50 robinsons voucher) and all of us in the table received $10 robinsons voucher (just for cheering! haha!)
the humanities dept rocks! :)
now im stuck with a normal 2G Samsung phone. arghs. but thankfully it's touchscreen cos i can't get used to the hard keypad anymore, after using a touchscreen phone with a virtual keyboard for almost a year. i have a school leadership camp in some unwired and ulu part of Singapore next week, so i can still console myself that spending 200 dollars on this simple touchscreen phone is reasonable as i can use it for future camps.. :(( since most campsites doesn't have much phone connectivity, much less wi-fi.
wanted to get a new nexus one because i am not really in the iphone league. im not very impressed with the iphone 4, even though there is much hype about it. cos my colleagues and i had done a test on Googling a few months back, my nexus one won the iphone 3 hands down. recently, my colleagues and i did the same test with my nexus one, an iphone 4 and blackberry. mine won again. maybe that's why i don't think much about the iphone 4.
BUT, Google doesn't ship nexus one to Singapore anymore! since a few months ago. ARGHs. anyhow, i'll try to dig a nexus one out from somewhere and lay my hands on it. meanwhile, i have to survive with my samsung phone.
some pictures from friday's staff dinner before we headed for clarke quay and my phone got lost in the cab home :(

made this for des for his birthday, besides a watch present.
i have been collecting a lot of possible CHEAP scrap craft materials from everywhere. haha. im like a garang guni, seriously. thinking if i should expand this creative talent of mine, maybe during the holidays. but, the materials are really expensive, especially those from Paper market or Made with love. :(( and i go crazy when i shop at Daiso, cos the things are all prized at 2 dollars! Des thinks Daiso, for me, is the next Primark. haaa.
school ended officially yesterday for the kids. yay! i think i will miss my class during the holidays but somehow, im thankful for this sudden relief of responsibility. the good times are finally here, to stay!!! :))
i might have to shoulder some heavy but important responsibilities in school starting from next year, due to the sudden departure of a particular senior teacher to another school. have been filled with doubts over my own abilities to handle this sudden responsibility being placed onto me because of prevailing circumstances. but after thinking it through carefully, somehow i was thinking there might be a slight chance of me staying put in this career, IF i can climb up the ranks fast within the next 1.5 years.

our teachers' day dinner! :)
my sch bestie (mz), i and another colleague
the bandung girls! haha.
sighs. school's really not going to be the same anymore without mz around. im like a single chopstick, with the other one missing. ;( its really amazing how close we've grown to each other over the past 8 months. friendships like this is really hard to come by.
