Reminiscence of 2010

2010 – It indeed is a year I fell so many times that I refuse to learn my lessons till the 4th quarter of the year. I’m so glad to have my friends and family who stood by me. Seeing me laugh, cry, shout, doing the most silly thing yet did not forsake me. I’m grateful for all the love I received. Although I lost certain things, be it physically or emotionally, I definitely gained many valuable lessons.

Looking back, I realize I did not really set any resolutions for 2010, except to expect myself to cut down on my late nights and boozers ! Yet, it seem like I’m boozing more than I tot I wld not. Haha. I had my fair share of fun with my party animals and you know who you are. This coming new year, all I want to set as a resolution is to put my full concentration in my work and earn the desired income I’m looking for (shall not reveal it here) ! :p

I used to be very afraid to try, and I asked myself this.. If I don’t try what I want now, wait till when ? Time n money wait for no one. So here I am, holding a full time job and also having my new baby, noLabel Boutique ! I’m definitely very green in all the business making world, but I’m gg to step outside to be willing to fall and not be pulled back by all the setbacks. May god bless me all the way.

It’s been a year that I keep spraining myself too. From my left ankle, to my back and my left arm!!! And just when I thought my left arm was getting better, I had to sprain it again on the 1st day of 2011. Pout. Please let it recover !

Thinking back I also learnt alot of new dance. From Belly Dancing to Hip Hop to my favorite, Pole Dancing ! <3 I had to stop at e 4th lesson of my Intermediate 1 class due to my arm injury. I hope I can get back to pole classes soon !

Places I travelled this year are London, Paris, Geneva, Pattaya, Bangkok, Bintan and Batam. All of which, I love London the most ! The lovely weather and the breath-taking sceneries! <3 And now that I am having my new biz baby, i am gonna travel more often than b4 ! Loving it !!!

All in all, it's been a year filled with many setbacks but it's been proven that I have grown so much stronger but still not wise enough.

May •2011• be a year where my health, wealth n happiness will be at it's best. May my business bloom n bring in loads of $$$$$. ♥ Friends who stood by me, thanks and cheerios to our friendship !

Love my BFFssssss! Muacks !

Xoxo,
Val

Alive yet without heartbeat

My life is like a stock market. One moment its shooting up high into the sky, next moment its crashing like how the Lehman Brothers gone bankrupt. Its so unstable I almost suffocated myself.

Yet what dont kill me makes me stronger. *flex my arm*

The heart no longer pumps as hard as it used to be. Flames has simmer down.

Not going to put in too much effort. Not going to fall in too deeply anymore. Its a selfish act. I know.

Its weird how I turn out to be in such a in and out situation. Like EC said, “Im sucha sucker for love.”

This 4 letter word has apparently killed me again and again. For that wee moment, I thought I’m a cat that has 9 life!

Loneliness always end me up with a fate with someone. I just lack the ability to control my emotions.

Its an excuse. Tell me about it.

Why am I in such a mess every single time? I’m always not the one that went hay-wire, its always the other party. I have such a bad foresight. And its been really weird cause it’s about their past.

All I want is just a simple happy life. And it’s really NOT easy to attain this simple “happiness”.

Empty inside, happy outside. I am just a shell painted with a smiley face on the outside.

Who can fill me up with the sweet nothings? Surrender yourself.

Down

Every thing went downhill.

Relationship. Down.

Work. Down.

Mood. Down.

DOWN DOWN DOWN……….

Where is the right one?

在对的时间遇见对的人，是一生幸福

在错的时间遇见对的人，是一场心伤

在对的时间遇见错的人，是一段荒唐

在错的时间遇见错的人，是一阵叹息

Its time to let go and move on.

Another new chapter of life begins.

What is Love?

Can someone define love to me?

Is it that when you LIKE someone alot, there can be no love?

Do you have to have a reason to love someone?

Is love measurable?

I need some answers.

The London / Paris / Geneva Experience

This trip let me conclude:

1) London’s weather is like a woman’s mood.
We were shopping at Oxford Street. The sky was cloudy right b4 we walk into shop A, when we exit shop A, it was raining! So we took our umbrella out. Walk into shop B and when we exit Shop B, it was SUNNY now. Isn’t it so unpredictable? P/S: We dint take a long time in each shop.

2) Paris’s customer service is ZERO.
We got lost many times in this land of French language as we dint understand the road signs. So we asked around for directions and when we dint get what they were blabbering, we asked again and gt stared back with a rude face & their voice of tone were harsh. It dint happened once but many times…

3) Geneva’s standard of living is really high.
We ordered a plate of Roasted Pork and it cost us Swiss Franc 17 which is equivalant to around SGD 22!!!!! The only thing that is cheap there is beer. Which is why we drank quite a number of bottles there. Haha.

Nontheless, we enjoyed the trip with many breath-taking scenaries and yummy sandwiches. I took 1000+ of pictures. I am going to load them slowly day by day.

I am sweating with the fan blowing at me, I am missing the cold weather there badly now…. Pout! Bring me back there…………………..

First post in 2010

I have officially abandon my once beloved blog. Time to brush away the dust! *p/s: It took me awhile to remember my Userid and Password*

I have been focusing on updating Twitter and Facebook, I almost forgotten I have a blog.

A quick update on my recent happenings since Dec 09.

Short trips to Batam with BF, Bintan with GE Crew, Kukup with BF & Family and now… The long haul trip that I have been waiting for… to London, Paris and Geneva with BF. I’m jetting off in 5 days time! YAY YAY YAY!!!

I am getting all excited and scared at the same time. Scared because I feel that I have not done enough research on these beautiful places! I’m still doing my planning. God bless me. Really hope that it’s a sweet & memorable trip for the both of us.

I have been chasing after Taiwan dramas lately. First was 海派甜心…. DA LANG DA LANG DA LANG… After which was 下一站，幸福…. 米修!! 米修!! All this romantic dramas are causing me to fantasize. How I wish…… For a good ending for myself too! What’s next? Oh… I know… 珠光寶氣! ! This is going to take me a long time since it has 82 episodes as compared to the ones above which has 20+ eps only! GOSH!

As for work wise, all has been alright but I did not get a good review on my appraisal. Boss consoled me saying that my team is way too strong thus I was rated lower. Sigh. Oh well, I just have to do better to prove my worth this year. Need to get my momentum right and stay FOCUS! PROCRASTINATION NO MORE!

Heath wise, my back problem hasn’t been kind to me. In Feb I was going bad back aches, infections and non stop fevers! Luckily all is over. Went to a good sinseh yesterday at Chinatown. He said I have problems from head to toe. Jialat sia! Do hope I will get better after his good massage that is causing pain now. Base on his justification, I will be in pain for the coming 2-3 days. After that, PAIN NO MORE! I was thinking, DON’T BLUFF ME huh!!!!!! So lets hope that’s really the case. ^^

Love life wise, things has been going on quite well lately. Don’t wanna think too much but just wanna enjoy the moments together. Hope this trip to Europe will get us more bonded together.
If it blossoms, it will. Love my boy! *xoxo*

Family wise… Daddy is under loads of medication and has been losing weight till the extend, custom asked him to change his passport and NRIC photo!! Bro is forever busy with his school projects.. Poor thing. Mummy stopped working outside and has started looking after a cute little girl, Rong Rong.

Some consolidated pictures of the past events!

Till then. Please take care all ! Done & out.

Love all,
VaL

It’s sad I recently lost my passion to update this space.

Have been so active in Facebook and Twitter that I almost forgot about my dear blog here.

I bought myself an iPhone if you do not know and I am really happy with this purchase!

This thing has been a baby to me and I enjoy using it to surf everything under the sun with my data plan. I got myself a new line so I am going to text everyone my new number. I have been procrastinating this act since dunno when….. Wasting my money only! Cause I am holding two personal line and 1 office mobile line!!!!

On a side note, I’m really upset I lost my beloved camera. I am not sure which part of the earth it has landed itself to. I can’t even remember when and where exactly I lost it. #@#!!@#$@!~@#$

Next week is another busy week for me! And I am so gonna celebrate Halloween this year.

Already got my costume done and am so excited about it.

So stay tune for details of it.

Just in case you forget how I look like, here’s a recent picture of me with Leopard prints…. *boomz* ;p

Cheers,
VaL

Weddings

I just did a calculation of how many weddings I attended this year.

Adding the one I am going to attend tomorrow night, it’s SIX times.

Gosh! And this is not including people who did not invite me yet got married this year… Hahaha!

Is 2009 such a great year for marriage?

I start to wonder where’s my the other half. Haha!

Anyway, I am attending my ex OCBC MT mate, Jessna’s wedding tomorrow! She called me last Wednesday to extend her invitation to me. Poor girl can’t make her calls during the Lunar 7th Month and thus can only make such last minute arrangement on her guest list! !

Lisa also broke the news to us that her BF proposed to her on the magical day, 090909! Sweet efforts were made. Now I look forward to the day they officially tie their knot. Hearts!

I am definitely happy for them!

Till than, I will work hard on my career now.

Too many things happened…

I am sorry for neglecting this space here as I am really busy with work, personal life and friends.

For the past 2 weeks, loads of things happened. Good and bad.

Good news is my dearie Jean is officially married with Chee Keong. We had a bit of fun here and there.. Thou’ things did not really turn out as planned for our sabotaged but we still managed to bring everything thru’ in time.
Now the sweet birds are off to Barcelona and Venice to enjoy their honey moon. Shiok!

Bad news is….

My 2nd uncle is hospitalised due to a blood clot in his brain. =( He was sent for an operation immediately on Saturday itself. I was unaware as I was staying in Jean’s house in preparation for her wedding. I only got to know it on Sunday night… Visited him at the ICU on Monday and he has abit of response. Last update on Wednesday, he woke up and has moved to a normal ward. He still can’t really talk properly but I do hope he will have speedy recovery! God bless him loads!!!!

Another thing was I did not managed to hit my target by a wee bit. I promised my bosses and myself that I will hit my given target this month!
Hard work plus good luck must come along together… *praying*

And I still hide myself under the bed at night.. Trying to pick myself up once again. The emo me is getting better. Nonetheless, I still feel a tad empty in me. Filling it up slowly.

Let time fade all the memories that are supposed to be forgotten…..

Till than,
VaL

The happy pic-moments…

The long weekend had come to an end.

Fast!

Friday night I was still out clubbing with Cherie, Alvin, Nic, Ben and many more friends at Dragonfly!

Saturday night was Peter’s wedding at Qian Xi Lou. Than clubbing at Firefly with Wendi, Daniel and his friends.

Sunday night accompanied Jean and CK to have their final gown fitting. Dinner was the famous Holland Village XO Fish soup noodles and Sam Lou Hou Fen at the Chinatown outlet~ I love it.

Today was shopping and relaxing day with Wendi at Orchard. 

I bought 3 books from Prologue, a new book store in ION. It was on promotion, Buy 2 get 1 free. Go grab it! I got Tuesday with Morrie, The Five People You meet in Heaven and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at  a cost of 30bucks. Cheap.

Shopped at LV with Wendi and she got herself a bag.. Same as mine.

We each bought a top from Bebe too!!!! My 1st Bebe top at 89bucks. So happy. Had dinner at the Korean restaurant in Far East Plaza! Ate so much, we were damn full. Burp.

After that was touching up of my gel nails at Millys while Wendi touch up her lashes and did an express mani.

I love the crystals…. Simple and nice.

I bought a Purifying Ampoule. Hope it can control my oily face.

Followed by a great movie, The Ugly Truth at Cineleisure!!!

This show is marvellous. Please get ur ass off the chair now and buy the tickets to watch, if you haven.

Now some pic of the fun moments  I had in Aug and Sep….

Friends who made an effort to make my birthday a memorable one… Love them all !

Fun I had with them!

I feel bad not making the effort to blog abt the individual events but I have been out too much I can’t find the time to edit the pictures.

Now is 12.40am… Time to KO.

Nights my <3ssss!!!

Muacks,

Alone

The emptiness is killing.

Thoughts keep running through and through my head.

I need the Nza Nza Nsu feeling…

I miss having butterflies in my stomach!

You know that feeling that makes you head over heels over something.

It’s a wonderful feeling.

It brings smile to me.

I am doing alot better now.

Just that the emo button seems to be on and off automatically.

I can’t stop myself from thinking, neither can I stop myself from feeling empty.

This sucks.

Just want to be alone now.

Period,
VaL

羅志祥 – 搞笑

那一條牙膏 在對我傻笑
嘲笑我永遠用不掉
想睡就睡 想鬧就鬧
好快樂少了人嘮叨

藍色的碗盤 多買了一套
我忘了沒人陪我通宵
要多少替代的丑角 無辜的陪笑
才會讓我能真的忘了你的好

我在搞笑 藉著熱鬧 掩蓋著心跳
邊哭邊笑 偏要說著 一個人真好
當人群散了 突然覺得我可以死掉
我受不了
還在搞笑 害怕回家 不知怎麼熬
這麼多年 早就習慣 有你的撒嬌
我想我能熬 但是至少要讓我知道
你好不好

我們的小狗 食量變好小
眼神裡常常顯得無聊
牠習慣睡覺的床尾 少了一雙腳
所以牠常常看著門口睡不著

我在搞笑 藉著熱鬧 掩蓋著心跳
邊哭邊笑 偏要說著 一個人真好
當人群散了 突然覺得我可以死掉
我受不了

我在搞笑 卻在醉後 眼淚拼命飆
你的離開 失去多少 我計算不了
忙完了一天 突然覺得又何必辛勞
對誰炫耀
還在搞笑 是否擁有 麻痺的療效
唱一夜歌 卻避不開 催淚的曲調
我徹夜胡鬧 希望聽到有人會提到
你好不好

Sweat it out!

It was great to be able to sweat it out last night at the gym!

Was supposed to go with Chantel and Lorene but Chantel couldn’t make it due to work commitments. Pout.

I went there with an empty stomach. *growling*

Reached there at 8.30pm and my dear Lorene was late due to work commitments too…..

It’s been so long I went to a gym, I dint know where to start and felt LOST !

The proportion of male and female there was like 10 man to 1 woman. I felt awkward when I step in. Pout.

Went ahead to start my exercise regime by doing some stretching.

Still feeling weird… I went on the cycling machine.

After 15mins, I finally see Lorene! Haha.

I ended the night at 10pm and home I went.

Super shag by than and I KO-ed at 12+am.

Love spending time to myself!

P/S: End up I cook myself a packet of Ibumi Mee Goreng for dinner cum supper. Hee….

Hugs,
VaL

Busy busy BEE!

I have been going out since last Friday.

It’s a tiring week for me. Yawn.

Yesterday I finally managed to watch The Time Traveler’s Wife with Milly, Jacc and Sherlyn. Nice! However Jacc almost fell asleep… -.-” Think she too tired le. Haha.

It’s a romantic and touching movie. To know what your future lies ahead is scary shit. I rather not know how and when I die. =( However, it’s great to see who is your life partner before you even met her! So cool.

Dinner before movie was at Shokudo Pasta and there we were, bitching about everything under the moon.

I cant remember when was the last time I met up with Sherlyn!!!! Think almost a year ago? Not sure. Anw it was nice seeing her again.

Today I met up with Ada and Gret for dinner at Ma Maison. The food and ambience there is something that makes me wanna make a second visit.

These gals are my love! They bring smiles to me.

Tomorrow is another movie time! G-force? =)

Saturday shall be Jean’s Hens Night. It’s a pajamas party at Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Can’t wait cause I bet it’s gonna be fun!

Sunday will be R&R if I want… Still haven decide what exactly to do because I have a lot of things in mind that I wanna do. Like go for facial? Go buy a new phone, iPhone or Black Berry? Read my story book? Watch my drama series?

I have so many things in mind I wanna do!

And.. Monday will be exercising day with Lorene and Chantel! Yay. I am finally going to use my sports shoe again. Gee. We decided to go Yishun Stadium’s gym centre. I need to exercise my back!

Tuesday will accompany Karen to SIM to help her make some payment for her school fees.

And my program just goes on and on and on ………………………..

Till I see you.

Xoxo,

The Power to keep going…….

I don’t know to cry or to laugh when I had a bad day at work.

Got the Credit Bureau Report from 3 different customers and all CMI……

The problem is during the process of getting them, I was thinking..

“Is my day such a bad one?”

And as I open each one of them till the last one… I ask Wendy to help me open the last report. Thinking that maybe my hand suay… Haha!

In the end, it turn out to be a bad report too! @$^*&$#@

It took me awhile to stop feeling frustrated.

I realised I need to be like a cockroach which never say die….

Or… An energizer bunny…

Which always has the Power to keep going and going and going…..

Back to work now!

Gonna meet Jean and Lina for dinner at Suntec later. Teppanyaki here I come!! =D

Yum,
VaL

I will always remember you….

You were someone closed to my heart when I changed to a new environment.

You called me “che che aka Jie Jie” even thou you are older than me and always like to disturb me.

You make life there fun-filled with laughter.

You told me that you wished I would not move on to a new environment because you will miss my company.

You were the one who gave me the beautiful angel and a crystal ring for Christmas last year.

You even made an effort to write us Christmas and Chinese New Year card. You were one thoughtful person.

You messaged me on 5 Aug 09 asking me how am I and would like to meet up with the rest. I was pre-occupied with many appointments and thought I can meet up with you soon……

But…….

God is so unfair. He took you away from all of us on 24 Aug 2009 before I could do anything!

I was shock. I didn’t know how to accept this fact.

I regret not having to appreciate the chance given to meet up with you for just a chat or dinner.

Mages, I am sorry for not being there for you!

I hope you are now in a better place where peace and happiness accompany you.

I will always miss your smile and how you call me che che!!!

Tonight I will be going back to Yishun branch for some prayers for you.

God bless everyone.

Miss ya,
VaL

My super full wardobe!

I took the whole evening on this cooling Sunday to clean my wardrobe. *sweat*

There’s way too many tops and bottoms I own!

I cant even get them into my wardrobe. Haha.

After much packing and decision making…. This one keep, this one give, this one keep…….

I came to conclusion that I am going to give all this away.

Yes it’s one big bag = $$$ !!!

I don’t have the time and energy to get a flea market to sell all this away. Honestly some are totally brand new which I have never worn. You must be wondering why! Because they were bought on impulse and when I return home, I realised I don’t like it anymore or they dun fit well. Sigh. Bad!

Here’s my 2 neat wardrobe.

*note: There’s still clothes at his house*

I really don’t know where to place the remaining clothes now!! Ah!!!

I need a new wardrobe!

Bleah,
VaL

District 9

Watched District 9 last night.

It’s a movie I never thought I would enjoy since it’s relating to Aliens
(fyi: I’m not a fan of Aliens).

It started off slow in a documentary style.

And.. It got more and more interesting with actions till the end.

I would say it’s worth my 9bucks. =)

Go watch it if you haven!

^^,
VaL
