She ROCKS!



can you guess who she is???



is this picture clearer? no?? what about this?




well, got the answer in your mind already? yes yes...it's CHRISTINA AGUILERA!! isnt she pretty??? okay..not really but seriously, she's AWESOME!!! i went to her concert on 06/30/07..and i'm sitting like next to the stage..5th row...but the tickets are free...haha! and each ticket cost SGD350..which i thought was pretty expensive..but after the show, it's definitely worth the money...because Chris A ROCKS! she can sing, she can dance and her voice is oh-so-powerful...amazing little thing..i mean she's pretty tiny but yet her voice is sooo huge that it's kinda difficult to imagine it coming out from someone so tiny...



and as usual..she's as sexy as she can be...there's rumors that she's pregnant and i think it could be true...because throughout the whole show, she didnt wear anything baring her mid-rift..guess she's sorta protecthing her tummy...maybe...anyhow, she's really sexy...haha



and my favorite song? "i'm beautiful"...she used this as a finale and it's oh-so-beautiful...

I'm back!

**** forgotten to publish this..haha! ****

just got back from KL...quite tired but yet not very tired..because it's just KL..haha! not too bad..enjoyed myself...as in my hotel was just next to KLCC and so everything's convenient...and the hotel was good..i dont know..but i like it..although the tv was small and there's not much on the channels...every night, there's CSI of all kinds..CSI Miami, CSI NY, CSI LV, CSI dont know what..i watched till i fell asleep...haha!

although i told myself not to spend..but again, i've spent..but not a lot..i bought like 10 tops (3 for others), 2 bottoms and 2 shoes..and it cost me around 500 Ringgits..which is about 250 SGD..which i think it's pretty alright..as compared to what i've spent in the States...am still paying for my credit card bills..can you believe that? hahaha..but almost done! yay!

anyhow, i went to KL Zouk on Wednesday..supposed to be mambo jumbo...but mmm, not very mambo...i was hoping to see mass dance by the malaysians..but no one knows the steps at all..NO ONE WAS DANCING..and they only opened up Velvet...guess the crowd is not enough to fill up the whole of Zouk...friend suggested that i should go Loft..but then i dont know where..and i'm kinda lazy and tired and i have no khakis..KL Zouk was a client who brought me there as he has promised to..but he's not of a clubbing person and so it's kinda boring..*yawnz*

i also caught 2 movies in KL...sooo cheap..the tickets are only 10 Ringgits...and the 2 movies that i watched are (1) Alone and (2) Transformers..."Alone" is a thai show, same directors from "Shutter"...it's pretty good i must say..and it's quite interesting to watch it alone..when i bought the ticket, the guy at the counter was like.." are you watching this alone? quite scarry..you sure? my friend cried when she watched " hahahaha..actually, it's not that scary, the ghost was pretty typical - long hair, white eyeballs, white gown, rotten flesh...nothing scary..but the storyline has a very good twist...asked many friends to catch it..i got the same answer.." CRAZY! " haha.. "Transformers" was okay only..the plot sucks but the special effects are awesome..but then again, it's steven spielberg and michael bay...what can we expect right?

by the way, i have a sorta strange encounter when i was in KL..there was this evening..i went for dinner with a friend and went back to my room at around 10 plus...so i walked to my room and slot my card key in...but it didnt work..and then i heard cupboards slamming sounds in my room..and i got a shock..i thought i went to the wrong room..but when i looked up..it is MY room..i didnt know what to do..i just stood outside..walked a few steps away..and then i tried my car key again..and it worked..i walked in..checked everything..nothing's amiss...so was it a ghost or a burgler? no idea....*shrugs*

well...will be in Malaysia next week for business...hee hee! kinda excited but yet i can see myself very tired from all the clients' visits and everything..but well, am looking forward to it anyhow...mmm...this year has been quite a year for me thus far...ever since April, i've been travelling..hahaha! NY/NJ in April, SF/SJ/LV in May and now KL in June..haha! i simply loooooove this kind of lifestyle!!! yay!!! hopefully i can go further..so that i can take business class again!! yay!!!

alright...quite lame this entry..but i just need to share my favorite song at this moment...shall listen to it again! haha

My Amazing Trip

watched ocean's 13 yesterday...it was quite entertaining..this is one of the few trilogy which i love all 3..although i thought it was a little too draggy for the 3rd one..but it's still entertaining...george clooney is sooooo sexy although he's old and all the plans and gadgets are soooooo foolproof...amazing!!

anyway, as many know..the ocean's series are filmed in Las Vegas..and so when the Strip appeared in the show..it really brought back fond memories of my trip last month...*sighz* and then i remember that i was supposed to post pictures and write about my trip..but well, i was sooo busy that it simply slipped my mind..

basically i went to the western part of the united states of america from 05/19/07 to 05/27/07...although i said that i was going there for my friend's graduation, actually that is of secondary purpose..my main and primary purpose is to go there for holidays..hahaha! anyhow, for those who decide to go USA for holiday..if you're very particular about aeroplanes..please DO NOT take northwest..haha! basically, the seats are very very uncomfortable..it doesnt fit the neck at all..and the air stewardesses and stewards are quite duhz..i walked to the back asking for a glass of water..the air steward was reading a book..he looked up at me and said.." it's all over there..help yourself "...hahaha! seriously, is this even acceptable?

for this trip, the thing that upset me most is that i didnt get to go to Santa Cruz because i had to attend my friend's graudation for 2 days! initially, i thought his graduation was on a saturday..then he told me it's a friday and saturday and so i said i'll just go saturday..and he told me that friday is the department graduation blah blah blah and so i said i'll go on friday then...and because of this...i had to spend EXTRA money for my air ticket...*mutter mutter* this is because i've booked a tour to LV and would be coming back on Friday..so instead of following the bus tour back, friend and I bought a domestic flight for 100 plus USD just to attend his graduation...and then we thought we didnt have to attend the saturday one but my friend insisted that we have to attend!! i mean seriously, i want to go Santa Cruz badly...VERY VERY badly..but graduating friend inisisted that we have to attend and I dont see any reason why..yes, we might have been there for his graduation but seriously, that is my secondary purpose...and because of this, i missed my santa cruz and wasted my saturday just to attend his graduation which is kinda boring to me...and during these 2 days, i'm literally the driver fetch people here...fetch people there..picked people up..dropped people off...very tiring...but then again, i'm the only one who drives..haha so no choice either...

anyhow, i must say..i loooooooooove San Francisco..it's such a nice city..it just makes one feels happy and the weather is sooo nice..although a little cold when the wind blows but it's really nice city...went to Alcatraz..amazing place..just look at these:

City View of SF
Seals at Pier 39..they look so cosy right?
Hannah Gump? haha!

seriously, i dont know why San Francisco is soooo attractive to me....these picture was taken at the piers...well, we went to Pier 39, which is the very famous pier..just walked around and there are soo many seals...nosiy and smelly..haha! then we took a cruise to Alcatraz...although my graduating friend and my uncle told me there's nothing there..they are sooooo wrong..i think it's a place you have to go if you go to SF..although it just a visit to an old prison..but it's really pretty interesting...

Me hoping to find Mike Scofield!
The Prison Cell..doesnt it remind you of Prison Break?
The Prison

I would love it if they actually let us tour the 2nd and 3rd floor...although they are pretty much the same but then well, i believe it would feel different...actually i was thinking, they could have "pretended" that we were inmates and brought us around to introduce the prison in that manner...what we did was we had a audio thingy which will guide us through the prison..pretty coolz though...

this is how the prison look like from the cruise...

after this Alcatraz tour, we wanted to take the cable car to Lombard Street..but somehow, when we reached the station, the queue was sooo long..and after looking at the map, we realized that Lombard Street is not far from where we were and so we decided to take a hike..and oh my god, it's such a tiring hike! hahaha..SF's streets are so slopey...the uphill is treacherous and the downhill is dangerous..anytime, we could just fall and roll...haha but it's definitely worth the effort to take a look at the world's crookedest street...

the crowded cable car station
bathing in the sun but let me tell you..it's colddddd....
World's Crookedest street

many cars were actually queuing up to just drive down the street..as we didnt drive, we didnt have the priviledge to do that..hahaha! but it's alright..6 years ago, when i went to USA with my uncle, we drove down.nothing much actually as we couldnt drive really fast down or drift..if not i think it would be cool..hahahaha! but i kind pity those people living next to this street...so noisy everyday but i believe their houses must be worth millions of dollars!!! after which, we took the cable car..initially, we thought we need to pay but somehow, it's free..hahaha..so we took a ride downtown and basically that summed up our one-day SF trip...must go again...hahaha!

after SF, we booked a bus tour to go LV and GC...and little did we know that our bus tour was filled with Chinese and Taiwanese Aunties and our tour guide is a Chinese..hahaha! so basically, we were always surrounded by Chinese..not that i have anything against it..but they are Chinese and Taiwanese Aunties..hahaha so kinda weird? we're 2 young pretty ladies afterall right? hahahaha but anyhow, it was quite alright..they treated us quite nicely...and i believe they must be wondering where we were from as we dont really speak mandarin with an accent and neither do we speak english with an accent..haha!

anyway, i dont really like LV..maybe because i'm not a gambler..hahaha..but it's really beautiful..all the hotels and all the lights...but then again, it's not as nice as i thought it would be..hahaha..definitely not as nice as what i've seen on ocean's 13...but still nice..hahaha..let the pictures tell you what i'm trying to say...

Part of the Strip @ Night..
LV Chinatown!!
One of my favorite hotels - Venetian, it's INDOORS!
another favorite becuase of the huge lion!
Fremont Street!

actually there are more pictures of the different hotels but then it's too difficult to post all of them here..if you're really keen, drop me a message and i'll send you the links to my 300-ish pictures! hahahaha! not that easy to post them all here...anyway, my next destination is Grand Canyon!

well, what can i say? it's really grand!! and i went to the latest attraction on the South Rim of Grand Canyon...the Skywalk...basically, it's a extension bridge and it's made of glass...initially, i thought we could walk across the so-called platform..but nope, it's only around..and it's not as scarry as i thought it would be..because it's quite windy, i thought the platform would shake..hahaha..but it didnt..it was as stable as a rock!! but it's pretty cool and the grand canyon doesnt look that deep from that bridge...and because it's new, it's not fully developed...so nothing much to rant about..but it's an experience...

The Skywalk!
Can you see the "eagle" behind us?
Those are CROWS and not eagles! haha!
isnt it grand?
no wonder it's one of the 7th wonders of the world!

well, dont think that this is only a sight-seeing trip for me..i did soo much shopping that im really broke! hahahaha...as compared to NY/NJ, i think the shopping outlets in Gilroy and SJ is sooooo much better...i looooove old navy..bought soo much back that i dont know when to wear them..i wanted to buy shoes, but somehow none caught my eye..almost bought another coach bag but then decided that i dont really like it that much but now when i'm back in singapore, i kinda regret! hahahaha..but then again, this always happen..so after some time, am sure i will get over it...

basically, i had a lots of fun and if ever visit the West Cosat, please try the In&Out burgers!! they are sooo delicious!!!

did anyone miss me? haha

yooohooooooo.....i'm back!! hahahaha..well from where? from sunny california...sighz, i really really really really miss that place...how?? i want to go back again..but i'm officially broke..i think i spent almost 3.5k on this trip...but i think it's very very worth the money...except for a few regrets... mmm, am now uploading the pictures and all..will post another entry with pictures and everything...

basically, back to work..is the most sianz thing...actually i dont mind coming back to singapore..but i dont wanna go back to work..but then again, i think it's alright..i pretty much catch up on what i have to do..but that doesnt mean i have finished...hahaha..what i am saying is i know what i have to do..but i cannot finish them..like what my whassup boss said.." we'll never feel that we're on top of things..but we're not overwhelmed " which is pretty true...wise words from someone who is not old but looks kinda old..haha! anyhow, nothing interesting happening at work..but recently many new additions..lost track and plus the interns...everyone seems to be a new person to me...hahaha!

i need to watch movies...i havent watched spidey 3..can anyone believe that? i need to watch ocean 13 and shrek 3..and also F4 aka Fantastic Four..not that cheesey long-haired gay show..hahahaha although many people swear that it's one of the best taiwanese drama..but no thanks, dont like guys with flowing hair running around trying to act cool..hahaha..anyhow, i'm game for all these movies..so anyone who doesnt have a date...ME ME ME!! i should be free...

ooh, just recieved the pictures from my hong kong ex-colleague..her wedding pictures..and she's getting married in november.. and she said she has reserved a seat for me! yay! i'm going to Hong Kong! better start saving..the only "problem" now is...whom am i supposed to go with? hahahaha..i dont think any of my friends are keen on hong kong..i thought of asking my mum along....but today, i asked a colleague of mine if he's going to HK for biz trip in November..if he is..then i can save on accomodation...hahaha..then somehow, it evolved into him going with me to the wedding...HAHAHA which means he had to pose as my boyfriend or partner..which i think it's pretty alright..and then we were talking about going there to find our own dates and everything..hahaha..getting all hyped up..but hey, it's all in the planning stage..got to play everything by ear..but definitely i'm going Hong Kong in November..most probably from 11/08/07 to 11/12/07..anyone out there keen? hahahaha..do i sound like im desperate for a partner? actually maybe i am..but then again..maybe i'm not...

okok..better go back to my photos..must ensure that they are in shape and everything..hahaha..no worries, i dont photoshop my pictures like somebody.... HAHA! no offence ya... *winks*

is the job market really that good now?

recently, the turnover rate in my company globally is rather high...actually not exactly recently...but i think it started this year...guess the market is really picking up and there's many job opportunites out there...

early this year..a colleague who only joined us for less than 6 months moved on to Barclays..and there are news that she's earning 8K a month for some graduate program..i mean seriously, i find it unbelieveable..8K a month for a rather fresh graduate? and she's not the smart kind..she thinks that SQ aeroplanes fly faster and that sugarcane is soaked in sugar syrup to make it sweet...so duhz right? so i asked my uncle who's been in the financial industry for 15 years..he said no way would Barclays pay their fresh graudate 8K a month! and my the other uncle who just got a PHD said :" ya...8K per quarter.." hahahaha...

and from the same team as the bimbo, the guy from Hong Kong office quit..and then some other guy found another job in some private equity firm..and the people from the sales team are moving out like ants...everyone is moving to greener pastures..even if people are not moving out of the company..they are moving within the company...lately..my dearest team-mate is moving to another team...and so we're going to have a new team-mate and someone from another team might move to my team...sooo many movements...

and just yesterday...the london colleague who went to princeton with me a month ago..has just quitted! i'm sooooo going to miss him...he's been such great fun to have...anyhow kinda shocking but yet i'm happy for him...and the moment my team heard that..they went.." see hannah, you tramatized him in princeton!! " hahahaha! basically he found another job in some private equity firm..mmm...maybe i should try my luck too? hahahaha but i dont know what private equity does....hahahaha..i'm kinda stupid right? anyhow, it seems like Europeans are more aggressive in their career movements...there are ALWAYS changes in that office...

now i really wonder..is it time for me to move as well? acutually i'm still happy at what im doing..although my job can be quite sucky..but i can still feel challenged and everyday i'm learning new things and new markets...and i love my people here..but seriously i have no idea..i did ask my uncle if i should also start applying for other jobs since the market seems to be really good and he said i could but it would be better to stay till the end of the year...and besdies my current company is not that bad...sighz, i dont even know what i want to do..all i know is i want to have lots of money!

never mind...am going to USA tomorrow (yay!)...*laughs* shall enjoy the holiday...get broke and then i'll be back in reality and i'll sit down and think about my future..if there's any to start with...

singaporeans are pretty rude!

over the weekend, i've met with 2 rude ladies...sooo irritating!!!

on saturday, i went to Jumbo Serangoon Gardens for dinner with my family for my cousin's birthday...and so i drove there.... and basically, i missed my turn to turn into the carpark of the restaurant as i wasnt very sure..thus, i wanted to sort of turn into a public carpark and come out of it...but there was this car that stopped right at the entrance of the carpark...

so basically, this stupid car stopped right at the entrance..and i wanted to turn into the carpark but i couldnt..and because the road is damn small, i'm sort of obstructing the traffic..and so i horned at the car to move in...but there was no response..and so i thought the car was empty...and then this girl came out of the driver's seat and then went back in...and so i thought she was going to drive the car away from the entrance..but she didnt..and so i horned at her again to tell her to move in..but still the car remained stationary..and so i horned again..and mind you, my horns are not the loud and long kind..i was nice to enough to give her short horns...and then my uncle wanted to get out and told her to move in but my auntie forbade him to do so for fear that the girl might be a road bully (hahahaha!)...and so i horned again, hoping that she would move into the carpark...suddenly, this auntie came out from the passsenger's seat and shouted at us :" we're also waiting for a lot! cant you see the carpark is full? cannot see when you drive past meh? horn for what? "

well..my reaction was to just drive away my car...i guess we were all very shocked that this auntie came out and shouted at us with broken english..as my family took about 2 minutes before started commenting how rude she was..hahaha! i mean basically, how would i know she's waiting for a lot? and also, the driver should have told me the first time she came out of the car...and then the auntie need not shout at us..she could have just told us the reason why she's not moving her car...HOWEVER, i think she shouldnt have parked her car at the entrance in the first place....this is sooo inconsiderate!! i mean if i were her..i would have moved in..and if i see other cars coming in..all i would do is move out of the carpark and go in again...basically, this carpark only has 1 lane and so you cars are not allow to wait inside if others need to get out...and thus, i think this is why the auntie thinks that she's right by parking the car RIGHT at the entrance!! i mean come on..be more considerate and use your brains..am sure singaporean drivers are not that horrible...sometimes, i really hate women drivers...they always dont think out of the box when driving! argh! wait, i'm a woman driver too..haha but seriously, i dont think i'm at fault..but i do regret not rebutting her at that moment..but then again, what can i say? "eat shit and die?!" hahahahaha!

then on sunday morning, i recieved a call from KrisFlyer...basically the reason why they called me is i rang them up with regards to my profile and also retrospective mileage claims...previuosly, my tickers for NY was not shown in my records when i logged in and so i called them up to find out and they told me it's because my account and my air tickets do not have the same name..and they have said they will changed my account and that i could redeem my miles retrospectively..and so i did...however, i noticed that my profile was not changed and one of my redemption was not approved..so i called again to find out why..and because all the operaters are busy...they have said to call me back on friday..but they didnt...so already they have broken their promise...

so basically that lady ask to verify myself by asking some questions...and then when she finally verified..she said.." so you're are normal member, how can i help you? " duhz, what does she mean by i'm a normal member? i'm afterall a customer right? this is soooo degrading...so does she mean my feedback and whatever is not valuable at all? she is such a bitch!! anyway so i told her the problem and she kept telling me to fax in my passport details and submit the retrospective forms to her when i'm trying to tell her this was not what the previous customer service officer told me..but before i could finish my sentence, she went.." i know miss wang, but we......" argh..i was soooo pissed i told her.." CAN YOU LET ME FINISH FIRST? " and finally she stopped cutting me off..and when i'm done..she repeated the same line to me again...stupid woman..then i said.." but this is not what you guys have told me earlier.." and all she can say was.." i know miss wang, please fax in your passport detials and the retrospective forms and we will process it for you"... and so i decided to stop talking to her and told her "okay, i'll do it" and i could feel her eyes roll and giving me the you-should-have-said-so-earlier vibes via the phone...so irritating!!!!

well...as a matter of fact...i'm NOT going to do it...i'm going to call Krisflyer again..ask for the name of that bitch...get the name of the manager..and write in to complain about this bitch..seriously, they are giving me mixed instructions and caused me soo much trouble just to get them to call me and all the rubbish..also it wasnt my fault that my profile was being set up wrongly..it was not me who sent in the details..but it was AMEX...stupid!! and then they were being so rude to me during the call..so what if i'm a normal member and not some big-shot frequent flyer? i may have the potential okay? anyhow, i'm so going to make a BIG fuss out of this...and as for that bitch, she better start praying that her job is safe..hahahahaha! actually i dont think they will sack her but i hope they reduce her bonus and blah blah blah...soooooooooo pissed!!!

i am suffering from delayed jet lag!

it's been almost 2 weeks since im back from USA...and guess what? i miss USA!! *sighz* it's nice being back home and all..but seriously, the short working hours, the good free food and beer, nice mustang, nice hotel..it's HEAVEN...back to reality is really hard...really really hard...when i first arrive home, i couldnt feel the jet lag at all..but as the days go by....i'm getting more tired and passed out by 1130pm EVERY NIGHT! haha! guess i'm really suffering from delayed jet lag....

anyhow, it was quite cool to arrive and then looking out for someone with your name waiting for you at the arrival hall..as if i was some big shots..hahaha! anyhow, my driver is a young eygptian..and he was telling me that he has a degree and is trying to find some jobs but has no luck..and that he just broke up with his girlfriend as his girlfriend thinks that he's wasting time..hahaha! basically, he was telling me his life story..and inviting me to go Eygpt with him..*ewww* and then he asked me what will i be doing over the weekend (since i arrived on a friday evening)...and i said i would be shopping and hope to do some clubbing..and he said.." you like clubbing? me too! wanna club with me tomorrow? " oh my god, is he trying to pick me up? and to this..i answered.." eh, are we at the hotel already? " *laughs* anyway, here's my hotel:

The Hotel ( doesnt it look more like a resort, anyhow, it's located in Forrestal Village..hahaha!)

My Room...heavenly bed!

and this is the car that i rented:



A COOL BLACK FORD MUSTANG! *grins* everyone was soooo jealous of me and my car...seriously, i was kinda shocked when i went to collect this car..i didnt expect a ford mustang..in my mind, i thought they would give me a toyota or a nissan...but well, i guess..a cool car for a cool babe! haha! but i didnt really drive..because my partner, who's a male, wants to drive...and so i let him..since i'm not that comfortable driving on the other side of the road...anyhow, i'm a good co-pilot..i can read the map pretty well...we only got lost because my partner cannot read the map and i drove..or i told him to look out for ROUTE 1 and he's waiting for me to tell him exactly where is ROUTE 1...so duhz right? i mean i told him.." now, we're on I95, then you will have to look out for Route 1 North okay? " he said okay but when he drove past the Route 1 North sign and i told him.." dude, you just missed the exit " and he went " why didnt you tell me to turn left? " then when we were arguing..he would say.." hey, let's stop this. we're behaving like husband and wife " haha!

anyway, my office is in Princeton and basically to me, it's a small town built around the famous Princeton University..i did a quick tour around a small part of the university and oh my god, it's soooo beautiful..it makes me wanna go back to studying...



wanted to walk more but it was sooo damn cold and my colleague is kinda getting tired and just wanted to go for a drink...hahaha but anyhow, Princeton is reallly HUGE..and sadly, i didnt manage to find any Wentworth Miller lookalike or potential...hahaha! and like i've said, Princeton is basically a town that builds around the university and in this whole area..there's only ONE pub..can you believe it? and i visited this pub EVERY NIGHT with my colleagues for a drink or 2..hahaha! but anyhow, i ate good food every night..slurrrrp!

this is how my office look like:

doesnt it look like a university as well?


haha..just look at our kitchen..isnt it amazing? but well, to provide 3 meals a day for us..i guess they need to have something decent...anyhow, our office is located in such a secluded area, it will take about 30 minutes to drive out for lunch!! but seriously, the food is kinda standard and boring...i would prefer to go out and have a variety of food! haha!

anyway, i think i would prefer NY...just take a look at these pictures:

Times Square! was walking around alone at night with my shopping bags...was very cold but it was kinda romantic as it snowed a little...very very nice..i love this place....

Ground Zero..think i went too late..they have started building some things and there were construction..not the ground zero i wanted to see.but then again.it's been 6 years..hahaha

Chinatown - was not in my plan to visit but anyhow...i was there for lunch..

Donald Trump building..what a pity i didnt meet him if not i could mesmerized him and then my tai-tai dream will be fulfilled immediately..haha!

5th avenue!! shopping haven but too expensive..i wouldnt mind living on this avenue though..hahaha!

some church near the NYSE and along Wall Street..i think it's Trinity church..can you see George Wasthington Statue on the right..that's him in front of the federal hall or something like that...he's "standing" opposite the NYSE...

Rockfeller center...not sure why is it famous..but people are basically skating there...kinda cool right?

aaah...New York Stock Exchange...at Wall Street!

This is Central Park...actually cannot see anything also...went there too late because was caught up shopping at 5th Avenue...hahaha dont know why but i need to go to Central park although i know there's nothing there..and my colleague was baffled by my determination to see Central Park as well..hahaha! was supposed to go there early in the morning to catch the Easter parade but somehow, it didnt go through..*sighz*


i believe this is Brooklyn..i was on Manhatten side when i took these pictures...and these are the 2 bridges...i think it's Manhatten Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge.not sure what's soo famous..but i guess they link 2 sides together? hahahahaha...

i went up to the empire state building to look at the whole of new york...i was sooo cold that all the pictures taken were quite bad..i was sooo cold that every picturei took..i have to run inside the store to stop shivering..and so the pictures are kind horrible..hahahaha! but seriously, the view is amazing...but i had to queue for like 1.5 hours just to have a bird's eye view of 20 minutes? hahaha after which i had to run to the train station to catch the train back to NJ...

talking about that...one policeman was trying to pick me up...*ewwww* i was asking for directions at the train station..and he started to chat with me and so i thought he was being friendly..he asked if i was alone in new york and if i had friends here..and i told him i was sorta alone and no friends as i was here for business trip..and he said.." the reason why i ask is that i can bring you around NY if you want " hahaha! seriously..do i look that desperate? no doubt i told people i'm on a mission to find a man..but i am really not that desperate!!! *laughs* but i did spot some cute firemen! hahaha but they didnt try to pick me up...WHY????!!!!!

actually, i think i did quite a good job touring NY within a day..i visited most of the famous places..but i gues i would love to go there again..i havent visited any museums ( heard that with my office pass i can get in free!!), havent attended a musical, havent visited SOHO, Long Island, Statue of Liberty etc, havent clubbed and havent found my guy!! maybe i need to find a job in NY...yeah, i think that shall be my plan..haha!

my last day in NJ...

the time now is 721pm, 04/13/07...i'm in my Princeton office and i'm basically the only left here...am atually waiting for the car to pick me up at 8pm...everyone here leaves at 430pm...seriously, i need to work here...you start at 8am and you end at 430pm...how good is that? tell me please....

just had dinner ( yes, my office in Princeton served breakfast, lunch and dinner) with 2 of the greatest colleagues i've met...they are sooooooo funny and they kept saying i'm hysterial..anyhow, am waiting for my car to come and pick me up...and since no one's around..i shall go around taking pictures of the office..hopefully, no one catches me..hahahaha! must take pictures of the kitchen...

actually, i'm kinda feeling sad to leave but yet am glad to be back home...i mean it's great to spend a week here on company's expenses and all...eating good food, living in 5-start hotel ( my hotel bills are USD 1.7K), driving a Mustang, shopping at factory outlets, drinking....but somehow, i think it's too slow and relaxed for me...everyone's going home...i need to go partying...i need to go dancing...but there isnt a single club in New Jersey AT ALL...can you believe that? maybe i should start a club here...it will be popular...there's the Princeton University here..hahaha!

think when i'm back home...i will definitely be suffering from withdrawal syndrome...from good food, short working hours, good beer and my mustang...and although one of my mission is to pick up a guy from here..i think i've failed terribly...hahahaha! never mind, Las Vegas/San Francisco/San Jose...here i come! :)

Business Class on SQ is soooo good!

i'm still in NJ, Princeton..hee hee hee and my godddd it's sooooo cold...i thought it would be spring time and the temperature will be like 10 degrees celcius and above..and so i only brought so-called spring clothes..but on my god....it's sooooo cold and i actually shivered...but hey, it's really nice to be cold..and i can wear boots and dont look stupid..hahahaha!

anyway, i'm staying in Westin Princeton which is alright..not great but not horrible...but the service is quite sucky...and i rented a car and guess what? they gave me a MUSTANG!! hahahaha..i was soooo shocked when i saw that i was given a Mustang..all my other colleagues were literally begging me to let them drive my Mustang..but haha, i cant drive..it's sooo weird to drive on the other side of the road that i let my london collegue take over the wheel while i read the map and hey, i'm quite a good map reader..we only got lost once..when i drove and my colleague read the map...hahaha!

my office is soooo damn huge and sooo damn cool..breakfast and lunch is provided and do you know, there's ice-cream in the kitchen..i cannot believe it..i wish i could take picture but i think it's against the company's policy to take pictures..but believe me..it's sooooo amazing....but i find the food kinda boring...sandwiches and salads every day...hahaha!

and i went on a shopping spree...i spent almost USD 600..i cannot believe it myself....sighz...now i'm soooo broke and i'm still going to USA in May...so i wish someone could donate money to me ya? hee hee hee....let me list out what i bought so far:

5 tops and 1 bottom from Banana Repulic (USD 140...the skirt is the killer...bought if from the shop not the outlet..haha)
1 tops and 2 bottoms from Gap (USD 50)
1 tops from Old Navy (USD 12)
1 pair of boots from Aldo ( and this only cost me USD 35)
1 pair of jeans from Levi's (only USD 15)
1 Coach Bag (USD250)
1 VS perfume (USD50)

actually not a lot right? but i'm already broke..and guess what, i'm still going shopping tomorrow..hahahahaha..because my london colleague wants to go shopping...ooh and i went to NYC...it's soooo amazing...took quite a number of pictures...and all...will tell more when i have the pictures up...


okay...got to go..it's another session of good dinner and good beers..hahaha!

3 weekend movies in a row...

for the past 3 weekends..i've spent it with my family..it's not a bad thing to spend time with family but for 3 consecutive weekends..isnt that an alarm for me? hahaha..i need to get DATES!!! anyone out there interested to date me? hahahahaha....but anyhow, these 3 weekends, i spent it watching movies...

first week...i watched this:



it's a local production...not very interested but my parents are..it's basically a Jack Neo's movie starring Gurmit Singh and Fann Wong...actually am interested because the chinese newspaper and news have been reporting that Fann Wong has disregard her lady image and is behaving very crudely in the movie...however, i think the news has definitely exaggerated it...she's not crude AT ALL..the only vulgar word she used was sooooo mild....and her so-called crude actions are grabbing her brests (which is non-existent) and her groin...and in this movie, she appeared in a bikini and oh my god..she has NO boobs at all...soooooooo flat...hahaha! generally speaking, it's an okay-movie..the storyline is quite interesting and it basically talks about how civil servants work in singapore...DEFINITELY not worth the 9.5 bucks!

2nd week..i watched this:



this is a must-watch for my family...my family is a HUGE fan of Mr Bean...we used to have his series and we will watch and re-watch and everytime, we would burst out laughing..hahaha..although we all knew how lame the jokes were...anyhow, i think this movie is quite nice..i was expecting the same old tricks from his tv series..but hey, there were new ones...and i'm really impressed with Mr Bean's intelligence and all... he can used his facial expressions and everyone will know what he's trying to tell us..isnt that amazing? he doenst even have to speak..all he has to say is "BEAN"..and we all laughed!! what a genius...

3rd week, i watched this:


"Leonardo's lead, Donatello does machine...Raphael is cool but crude, Michaelangelo is a party dude!" one of my favorite heroes...my brother basically bugged me to bring him to the movies for this...and oh well, i myself wanted to watch as well..hahahaha..actually the movie does have a storyline...and it revovles mostly around Leo and Raph...i thought it would be more cool to include Donny and Mikey...also, there arent enough fighting scenes...and i was sooooo disappointed that they did not have the famous song...*sob * and i dont know why..they have to include the useless but lucky Zhang Ziyi..i CANNOT understand a SINGLE word she's trying to say...*puke* but anyhow, i enjoyed the movie...

actually quite expensive right? haha but oh well, am going to spend more next week..hahahaha!
