Phuket Day 1 ♥

Hey! I just landed in SG 19 hours ago and after a whole day of rest to make up for my loss of sleeping time over at Phuket, I am back here to blog about my entire trip - from Day 1 all the way to Day 4! Heavy photos ahead! Sorry if the photos looked a little grainy. I am too lazy to resize it so I just upload it here and size it from here, which explains the graininess! This post is very long so I have put up a hyperlink at the end of this post for you to continue reading.

Boy just managed to upload the photos to his laptop and there was over 1000 photos taken! Mad lots I have to spend quite some time looking through it. Loads of memories and I am starting to miss it there. :(

So on Day 1 itself, our flight is at 0820 in the morning and I had to get up by 5am and then cabbed down with boy to Changi airport at 0615. Not feeling much of an enthusiasm that morning though, maybe because I am so afraid of taking airplanes. I have this phobia because I feel that I do not have any control over my life anymore and anything can happen. I even cried when the plane was on high speed at the runway and about to take off! Come to think of it I felt so stupid. Lol.

Waiting to board  the plane!
Above the clouds and boy filling up the immigration form to Thailand
 After crying. LOL.
 Sian look on his face.

Getting all excited!

I am getting so excited about this Friday's trip to Phuket. I am not sure about boy though, I think he is more stressed up over his work that he left all the plannings to me. Honestly, 4d3n is a little too short to cover Phi Phi Island, Phang Nga Bay and Phuket Town. A little too rush, and I hate rushing. I would rather cover lesser places but spend quality time and enough rest at one place.

Anyway, I received a big parcel at my doorstep today via the delivery man. Got so happy when I took over the parcel and guess what, the clutches have arrived! Tore open the package immediately and I am really satisfied with the material and quality of the product. Made of PU. Fab! Love the design and I went out today to the doctor carrying this clutch! I chose the pink one =D So me right?

Pardon my huge arms!


Will be wearing this maxi (unreleased) to the trip too. Beach feel!

Totally can't wait to snorkel with the fishes! :)

On a side note, I dont know what I have been doing but I have not started job-hunting. Oh my.. and my mum is starting to nag at me already. Okay I promise to do so the moment I am back, and start sending out resumes one by one. Now I know how long it takes to apply to just one company, and it is not as easy as just clicking the 'Send' icon.

You might end up with one whole day just applying for that one company.

NTU I Gave

So apparently this tele-marketeer from NTU called me for the 2nd time regarding a small donation to the school as we are graduating.

Tele-marketeer: Hi Ms Koh, this is calling from NTU. I am actually calling to ask if you are interested in doing a small part for the school, by contributing to I Gave. So by contributing you will get a free tee shirt and a badge. We are actually not interested in the amount of money gave, but more on the gesture. With this amount of money, we can actually help the poorer students and have more companies to partner with NTU to make it a better university. Yes so would you like to do a part too?

(I wasn't even given a chance to interrupt her because she was talking non-stop)

Me: No I don't think so.

Tele-marketeer: What about a small amount like say $10?

Me: Sorry no. I don't really feel attached to the school. Actually I am quite poor, why not you provide me a part of the money collected from I Gave since you mentioned it is for poorer students?

Tele-marketeer: (Long pause) Erm we can feedback this to the school.

Me: Okay please make sure you do. Do you need my matriculation number?

Tele-marketeer: Er no need I have your handphone number.

Me: Good. That's all. Bye.

I dont know what got over me to have this stupid conversation with this person. I guess it could be because I had so much hatred for this school.

Now I am not even sure if I am able to graduate. ˆ&%ˆ*&#*(ˆ&*(#&(

Say goodbye to extensions and hi to dates!

Finally I had my extensions removed at a nail salon - The Nails Pageant at Dhoby Exchange while waiting for boy to finish work one fine day. The rates are not cheap and the service sucks more. The lady looked like she's in a rush, and she seemed very reluctant to do it for me when I arrived at 5.45pm. She kept looking at the clock and asked me if I had to do it now. Then she finally agreed to do but throughout the whole 20 minutes that she was filing the extensions away, 80% of the time she was glancing at her watch. And she filed till my nails were too thin and the real nails started to chip off because it was way too thin. She then insisted that that this is supposed to be the way it is and left the chipped part hanging there, without even trying to remove it for me until I had to request that I want it to be removed. Last but not least, my real nails are in an uneven shape and she did nothing about it. I went back home and put some nail polish on and realised that the extensions were not removed properly. There were still some parts that are uneven and you can see faint bits of extensions still left. Never ever will patronize that shop again.

Nail length is still short, but much better compared to my previous unsightly bitten nails! :)

Enough of the unhappy stuffs. So I met up with boy yesterday since he asked me out. And 75% of the time he was grumbling away on his work, work and nothing but work. So imagine him grumbling non-stop and showing me a data sheet about some figures, trades, equities, price ratio, future value bla bla bla. Well I know nothing next to all these but after he briefly mentioned it I think I got a little idea.

Deep in thought...

As he was talking on, I am busy snapping photos away. LOL.

We had Korean food at Wilkie Edge!

Still grumbling on. 

Wee!

On a side note, I am bringing in the clutches to test the market! :) Quantity not big though but shall see the response first!

Random Musings

Hey hi, and I am still in the midst of examination, with the last paper to go this Thursday. And hopefully, this will be the last paper in my whole academic life. I can't wait for it to happen!

This is what you get if you stayed up till 3am to study.

My last paper on Net Shape Manufacturing, not easy though!

Had a little problems here and there regarding manufacturing.. wholesale stocks etc. Quite a big problem though and if I don't find a solution to solve it, then basically I'll have to do what many people are already doing which I find it quite useless. I will still try my best though!

Anyway, I am thinking of bringing this in.. Clutches! What do you think? Please give some opinions on it. I love it the moment I saw it but the only thing is it is not cheap, and I am unsure if customers will like it. It might look small here but it actually is slightly bigger than an A4 size! So no worries about putting your barangs barangs as well as a file in it! :)

Thinking of bringing it in 4 colors - Pink, Apricot, Brown as well as Mint.


Pretty right! :)

我真的累了...

As I am blogging on this post, my heart is filled with pangs of 感慨. 

好久没有写下过生活的一点一滴了,感觉,怪怪的,心情,低落到了极点。

目前一直处于相对矛盾当中,是也、非也,模模糊糊、混混沌沌的过着。在这是人非人、是物非物,一切充满着欺骗,充满着陷阱,充满着尔虞我诈,充满着惶恐与不安。理想,目标,与愿望,仅仅只为博得人生存的一席之地。得到的,失去的;快乐的,伤心的;美好的,痛苦的,在那经意与不经意间,徘徊。那些看似快乐、看似伤心、看似美好、看似痛苦的人们,只为品尝人生百味,只为博得红颜一笑,只为……


路,在我们自己脚下,有人说:“世间本没有路,走的人多了,就有了路”;有人说:“走自己的路,让别人说去吧”;还有人说:“路,是自己为自己搭设的”。我们自己可以按照自己的想法去走么?

路,究竟在哪里?

Can anyone just listen to me, ask me what I really want and bother to ask me how I am? Can anyone just let me decide what I want, and support my decision? Can anyone just compromise with me and let me do what I want for that just 1 day?

Can anyone give me a chance to pass through the biggest ordeal I have in my academic life now?

Please give me the courage.

I do not want to pursue any more of the high flyer life, I do not want to be competing against people and trying to reach the top. Money is important, but not the most important.. because it cannot buy happiness. I finally realised that now. Oneself's satisfaction is enough. I just want to pursue a simple, contented life.

Victor's Kitchen ♥!

First day of exams today and one paper down, three more to go! I have never felt so stressed during examinations before, maybe because I really care about the examination this time round, for some reason or another.

Weekend dates at Dhoby Ghaut again. This is the nth time these 3 months that I have been there. Practically for all our dates we were always there. -.- Boy please don't treat this as a complaint from me. It's the truth. Haha. Everytime I wished that we can go places such as Chinatown, Vivo, Bugis.. but ended up Dhoby again for movies.

So like I said, it's movies time at Dhoby again and dinner was at Victor's Kitchen. It is boy's recommendation and they serve hong kong dim sum! The owner herself is a hongkongnese. Food was great especially the Egg Yolk Lava Bun. The fluid substance in the bun was really really delicious. I could have ordered a few more if boy did not stop me. Yes it was that great.

Victor's Kitchen, located at Sunshine Plaza!

The Egg Yolk Lava Bun. Mad delicious! ♥ And boy is enjoying his! :)

Sorry no photos of me because I think I looked sian that day due to the upcoming exams. I still remember during the date, more than half of the time my mind was on the equations of Qualitative Analysis.

Anyway, a reader requested for a photo of my gel extensions now - 3 weeks since. I am very surprised that it wasn't chipped! Just that my nails are growing out so it looks kind of unsightly now. Will be making a trip down to the nail salon near boy's workplace to have it removed, and get a manicure done! :)


Feeling nothing better to do on one fine day, I played around with an app on my iphone.

LOL!!!








Got very excited over the General Elections and even had a small quarrel with boy regarding our different viewpoints. Hard to believe, I am a very PAP pro person. Even I myself don't believe that I support PAP that much. Boy on the other hand is more of a neutral side. He believes that PAP should still be on the upperhand with more seats in the Parliament, but then again there must be some opposition parties in it so that these people can truly voice out what people really wants. Sounds logical.

But we both had to vote for PAP because it was said that if you vote otherwise, the chances of applying for a house will be very low. Better to be safe than sorry.

I am very saddened that our Foreign Minister George Yeo had to leave the parliament. He has been a really outstanding minister and I believe many Singaporeans are mourning for his loss. He has not lost the battle. It just so happens that people prefer to have the opposition parties in the Parliament so that these people can speak up for them. George Yeo lost not because people do not believe in his capabilities.

On the other hand, I cannot imagine why Tin Pei Ling is having all the favoritism from the PAP and she gets to stroll into the Parliament without doing anything. How can a girl whose biggest regret is unable to bring parents to the Universal Studios step into the Parliament? And heard to be paid at least $15k per month, with 8 months bonus! Nicole Seah on the other hand was a really strong candidate. I believe this girl has got the potential, and she has truly won the favors of many because of how she handled questions posed by the reporters and interviewers.

Boy sent me this sms from someone else right after the Marine Parade GRC was won by PAP.

"Congratulations to Tin Pei Ling for winning a parliamentary seat. Now all Singaporeans are truly represented.. Even the intellectually disabled""

I have no idea where this message came from but it was really funny.

What do you think?

Ootoya ♥!

So it's a weekly date again, and this time round nothing much except for a simple dinner at Orchard Central because we did not manage to buy tickets for Thor.

Boy brought me to this restaurant called Ootoya at Orchard Central for dinner. It's a Japanese restaurant. Food was great! And the presentation of the food was so nice I couldn't bear to start eating it :)

The signage

My set!

Boy's set, huge fish!

The sitting area

Boy with his expenses again

Cam-whoring!

Bill came up to only $40 for both so it's damn worth it! :)

Preparing for exams zzz. Dying to get it over and done with!

I have got so so so many things to do right after exams.
