ship of magic
epilogue

the reluctance has worn off a lil and unwillingly we've landed back into reality. second time in the west coast saw more thorough exploration, less hurry-burry-touch-and-go, enabling us the luxury of indulging in sights and exposing a whole new whiff of experience. travel, antidote for the soul. so whilst 09 comes to an awesome end, i think i welcome 2010 with much anticipation, of major changes and more travel anecdotes. "for auld lang syne my dear, for auld lang syne!"

relished in the amazing meals we had (my michelin star restaurents are to-DIE-for!) and many facets of lives/stories we were blessed to listen to. meeting up with friends, chillaxing (ermmm, though we chose heaters to sit under!) just, time comes to a standstill.

our annual gift exchange and catch-up-cum-chitter-chatter session. they brought avatar to a whole new (noise) level! so embarrassing miss chong-you-die-jq! i love them to bits. happy endings do happen and it doesnt hurt to be an optimist! chin up everybardy!
good tidings and cheers to the new year! =) peace out!

canon in d
the head party

im sucha wuss. a day after and im still woooooozy from that dreaded jab. literally had to drag my feet and trudge down to dr jay's for the vaccine. not to mention we waited right up to the eleventh hour to get it done coupled with a whole day's of whining like a baby. i hate injections. yuck. anyway, as promised. i felt like a princess the whole damn week. had my way just uttering the three words. finally the countdown can start.

le st julien's for the bestest pan seared foie gras. sneaky staff.

amy's wedding. we all regretted not bringing tissue. tee hee

the head party planned by the two bestest girlfriends in the www, across cyberspace; one in beijing the other just beside me most of the time. what a giveaway when the bestie didnt even ask me out for a meal on such an important day! cozy lil gathering without my knowing what they were up to. guest starring big boss jason (im truly honoured), fungster (who brought/bought the most practical gift by far!), andy jeremy and a hamper co-ordinated by the crazily sweet jiawen who was in hawaii then. so blessed so blessed.

the after-party brought us to jason's for guitar heroes. my dear andy and jem were so atuned to bonitochico that they insist we had to jam and name the band likewise coz some resemblance must be borne. =/

light at the end of the tunnel
infinitely we will see
soothe your soul
be still in the deepest recesses
meaning and love

childhood kingdom
happiness is...

wanted to do a massive peekture upload on the past week of surprises but decided against it after looking through the number of photos that far exceeded the amount of emails i had since my vacation message was on. maybe doing it in parts would be a better choice. =)
anyhoots, thank you. each and everyone who had a part to play in the celebration of my another year older. whether or not the surprise fell through coz you guys were too blatant, it was the best time of my life.
first up.

after feli crabbed sideways toward us and i tried so hard to pretend i didnt see, we just all laughed. i, cant act blur for saving my life!
thank you, y'all. till our boxing day gift exchange, happy holidays!

done with the christmas photoshoot and all ready to head home for the family dinner. the whole studio side of the office became dead. finishing up the conversation with bryan about winterwear and the temperture in europe when the other side suddenly broke out in song. this one took me by surprise. thank you young punks! afterward, the sisters and cousin who apparently drove off earlier than me reached home an hour later. what a giveaway veldie! i love these people so much. my head will roll if i show the other peeks but they? never stop working. laptops out and packing backorders right after. what do you do without them?
finally, as i was grumping about the long drive, the last one for the night.

before you say i forgot about you jen and da rest, its coming right up! til the next post, back to work!

shrunken time
the secret

on wings of eagles, i feel empowered, accomplished. the only recognition i crave, i get. albeit subtly, not stark, in-the-face-praise. thats about all it takes to keep going. did so much in the two hours ive been up it seemed like the whole day has flown past already. its time to relax a lil and get ready for another round of merry-making. i can hardly wait. like i can hardly breathe coz im so fat. its either i make a mental note to stop chucking clothes in the dryer, else i shed the pounds. no more late night snacks and all those in between. =/

my yummmmmms in comparison to jen's couscous. hee hee hee =p incidentally we have the same dress. ahhh my bestie how i love you so. we were just talking and the only time we wore the same outfit was when we were 13. hahaha ive known these people half my life =)

because they, decided to cheat and wear heels whilst the honest me had to tip toe. tsk. *shakes head* im a happy high without intoxication.
how you just love happy end-of-the-year, no? the gloomy-rainy-always-chilly days and good cheer in da malls. not forgetting the get togethers and just, love is all around! =p

cut some slack when all accounts finally exceeded their limits. now the excruciating wait for it to reset and the tonnes to face in the morning. til then, it will be peaceful slumber and teddy grahams. yeah delirious after twelve straight hours. i swear i might have to do lasik once more.
the friends who never left me nor forsake me. =) amazingly im blessed with love all around. tis the season to be jolly and jolly i am! just rubbing my hands in glee and yeaaaaaa(neck stretching)rning for the plane to take off. before that will be my chain of many celebrations. since aging is inevitable, might as well embrace it gracefully no?

something's terribly wrong with (1)my eyes (2) my peektures (3) my com. theyre so grainy its an eyesore. oh wells! nothing really gets me down. falalalalalalalalala! have a great one y'all! *please dont be mad! i'd get to the emails the very minute i can click send with no error message*

time in a bottle
let it snow

im a lucky girl, my bestie whips up indulgent meals and brings me bb cream from korea and plays wiiiiiii with me.

guess who was daaaaaah! hee hee hee the arms ached. it was a good workout.

robins shoes were obviously too big. jen does look the hot mama too! in my guess inspired number. wow. *pleased* the countdown begins and going away is what entices me to work harder these couple of weeks before i finally get to sneak in a breather. securing the tix just takes the whole load off my chest. *same pleased look* ta!

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

irreplaceable
blood ties

i miss hanging out with the old foggies. theyve the most incredulous things to share. lately, the girls have been swinging by more often than not. we were on skype at 4am with fweddy ljungberg, lonely planet in hand, snacks bought by vel and lolling in bed. the countdown begins to winterwonderland! im part relieved part yearning part indifferent part anxious, part, no more parts to divide. =/

off they traverse into wonderland. this choice a little eclectic but a rewarding one nonetheless. i miss my mommy!!!

coz i miss them and take heart its a lil while more before theyre back. also coz we are having a notably different gmail conversation on intimate thoughts which stemmed from a very simple question. this year's resolution will be on any paper other than a receipt =p
love!

when in eternal lines to time thou growest
so long as men can breathe or eyes can see
so long lives this and this gives life to thee

virgin housewarming cum halloweens cum party all-in-one. inadvertently, we agreed on this day, after much procrastination.

welcome. to the dungeathly hallows. =p vel thought something was gonna fall on her head when she set foot in. ingenious dora!

can you spot me in the bath tub? its rather creepy. =/

getting ready and goofing around. dont ask me what i was. vel's the mastermind.

it got a lil too crowded =/ t'was bring your own booze yet we bought so much we are left with half intact. dora makes a helluva mojito!

guess house parties arent really the norm here but i do so quite, liked it. imagine a couple of people dora just got to know
spontaneously turned up. its a good thing we had nadia come over the next day. so yay to more of such to come!

on a sidenote, thank you for taking time to leave valuable feedback with regards to the birthday bash dress on the previous post/emails/texts. it means a lot and at least ive ample responses and takes to ponder upon. thank you!

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

sneak peeks of some of bea and my favs!

and i have a burning question. my birthday bash sample arrived and its gorgeous. sizes will be made, no backorders, extremely exclusive and in more colours than just my original champagne. cutting and make is really fantabulous. (i wont rave if its not!) yes i know, youre waiting for the BUT. its also pricey, in terms of the blogosphere. will you pay 80SGD? as compared to my original piece which was 400? help me!!! im really in a dilemma. =/

there you have it. im so stuck. =/ HEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!
anyways, my chillax weekend. im scooting off to grocery shopping for the halloween party tonight! bus gave me the fright of my life with a light tap on my door. when i opened it, i saw a daymn hot vampire in fishnet stockings, a scarlet frock coupled with a cape. what scared me, the fangs. gawd. =/ she wants us to be dressed likewise. *smacks head*

immortal beloved

i was reminded : "ever thine, ever mine, ever ours"

finally all nervous energy and regalness (in the words of vel) flushed outta the system. sometimes im superwoman personified. slept three hours and lugged the hungover soul to the servicing centre. then travelled to the end of the world to satisfy a carrot cake craving. car not done. sat and fulfilled the weekend promise of reading, chillaxing, nursing (the head threatened to explode) car finally done. reached home. got into bed. bbm text says. jie im reaching in 5. the sisters came to hang out. such an eventful weekend not for the faint hearted.

the only steakhouse that entertained a ten pm reservation. i love my vintagey purse. swooooooooooooooooon.

because i miss every thing about this woman. and coz i had the most enjoyable yet peculiar skype convo with her, that had us going about our own business, like this bestie showering while i was replying to emails and all that while we had each other over the phone. hmm. the things best friends do. the last of beijing but not of the chronicles of our travel-hood! thank you for finding me my ticket jenny cheeky chan!

indulgence

yin found this book and i love the way george r.r martin describes it as "to harry potter as a shot of irish whiskey is to a glass of weak tea."
cool bananas. im now anticipating after the dinner and a weekend of just reading and chillaxing.
a day of indulgence with the most precious sis in the world. im really glad that even if the world were to come crashing down, i'd have these people by my side holding it up. pretty spaced out of late, but this hyperactive one-of-a-monkey brought me all over town to curb the melancholy. i think some of that inspidity and lifelessness was uplifted just being with the people i love.

because she says i deserve it. *smacks head and wonders why i allow vel to psycho me*
on to ps cafe at palais renaissance so that we could go to passion and get my hair done by david gan. hahah im kidding. we were going to book appointments for the big night. =/ i swear sometimes rach and vel will really kill me!
on a sidenote, dont you think vel looks the hot mama in my guess inspired number. whoooo hoo! love it. and you vel! hee hee

then to marmalade and TWG to get my fawnl teabags.

because i saw these lil things on a home delivery pamphlet and just had to get them.

turn down all the lights

Don't be subdued

Ain't it a sweet
Luscious delight

angels cry
stay close to me

prelude to the new collection. everything decided to go against me during the photoshoot. the flash trigger batt died, the cam batt followed suit. bea and i spent some alone time catching up whilst waiting. at the end of it all, she said "jie, can i see the photos? your stuff so hard to choose!" i felt like the laborious hours and arduous journey was well worth my while. heads up to some of her favs =)

today vel, rach, clare, mag, gege and i decided it was a pretty decent time to shop for a dress. (note the sarcasm) the louboutins were amazing. they make your legs go on forever. chanel dangly earrings. clutches and vintage box bags. we went on and on, still no dress. concentration and ability to focus was lacking apparently. finally vel made me try something she thought i'd like, but once i stepped in, my eyes were set on this outrageously priced jumsuit. i bought it instead of the dress still not worried i dont have anything to wear. another one to the collection yo!

wish you were here jen jen.
if i were a grizzly bear, my best gift would be the ability to hibernate. if i were a bird, my asset would be to fly, anywhere, anytime. if i were a penguin, i'd don scarves, beanies and knee high boots and stay out in the cold. reality is a prick. so in sunny singapore i stay for a lil while longer, where the extreme weather conditions mirror my extreme emotions.

the countdown begins
underneath the guise of a smile
a broken rose and laughing eyes

when you love someone so deeply they become your life
its easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
blindly i imagined i could keep you under glass

now i understand to hold you
i must open my hands and watch you rise

before the bestie went back, bea's birthday and no peeks of the other three coz it was i-dont-look-good-day and i was threatened not to put any up or else the consequences would be dire. =/ thanks jen, for entertaining these young punks before i arrived. =p

random shots, my one in four nationwide love and just, shopping.

whatever it takes
a new divide

dropped the sisters off to a well-deserved massage at my regular, supposed to join them but they were shorthanded, scooted to get dinner and fawnl before turning back to get them. pampering the people i love makes me very blessed. and because daddy complained of a backache, theyre now at their turn, whilst vel helps me with my very tedious post. please dont laugh. coz im so incredibly stiff its just embarrassing. bea was so kawaii that day, and really high on exam drugs. =p nevertheless, she is as usual, radiant and beyond stunning.

whats new with all the goofing already. it was the longest photoshoot i had thanks to me =/ so yeah, first and last one.
im taking a short break and perking myself up a little from the sombre and just nasty memories the day mete out. reminiscing the most hectic day in beijing. with fondness that is =)

nw you know where i learn all my silly antics from. it so isnt natural or inborn. tsk. -shakes head and points to jen-

continuum of connectedness

had an exceptionally long photoshoot last night and i was on the verge of giving up coz seriously, noone looks better beside the good ol' bea who was peculiarly high after having sat for two major papers. spent quality time with the people i love most taking my time with the photos, dim sum-ing in the wee hours of the morning. a lot of content, just cant be bought with money, no?

felt as touristy as the F1 goers while we were chill-laxing at cafe iguana. reminiscing the details of the night before =p

coz it was children's day and i wanted to relive the childhood. wahaha actually its coz i saw this electronic rubik's cube thing that i really wanted to try, instead of the 2by2, 3by3 and 4by4 that are collecting dust in the shelf. in retrospect a trip down childhood lane serves a stark reminder of the hidden young one =p i was primary school hoola hoop champ! haha

extra out of the ordinary

an unprecedented five days straight we've met. i tell you we went nuts at the f1 fuel party. i sure hope i wasnt embarrassing. =/ before that dinner, at cugini club street. i like the rustic feel of the place at night. the birthday-cum-farewell party and lotsa laughter. i think these people are really astute and canny. nonetheless and inadvertently, i found myself nodding in agreement to many of the things they say and do. on a sidenote, was it me or did i just feel a very long tremor? =/ for a good three seconds, no?
*edit* yeah i read about the quake =/ now i realize why yin loves it here. coz we really are sheltered, in all sense of the word.

i feel safe in the midst of these people. thinking back, why would anyone in the right mind put themselves in awkward and "pretentious" situations when you can always be in your comfort zone? pompousness, not my cup of tea. theyre planning a ski trip to austria and it'd be awesome if plans do realize! spent precious time with the fawnl and bestie though in the deepest recesses of that head, a voice screamed "emails!" at the vvip lounge before we proceeded to go crazy.

quite good paparazzi shots amidst the gazillion people present, no?!? wahaha i had leverage. was on higher ground. =p am thinking i should start taking more peektures of phil to use it against him come april next year, what say you jen jen?!? tee hee. enjoy your trip and catch you when youre back again busy bee!

night over water

the bestie's home for a week so we spent a good three days catching up. brought me these lavish head pieces that will come in handy for the end-year parties. oh how i love you jenny cheeky chan!

do you think there's a market for these exquisite hair accessories? or are they too flamboyant? if so, what should a reasonable price be?
anyhoots, the last of the great wall and my toboggan ride down. agree with martin that its just rude to slide down a magnificent landmark also known as one of the wonders of the world. but trust me, after that walk, my knees were all weak and wobbly and i felt like i was in a desert, desperately searching for an oasis. going down on a luge was really rather appealing, in comparison to treacherous paths and walking.

the good-humoured driver stopping along the roads in search of juicy in season peaches. of which we gave away all but one. hee and poor jen jen had 4 in the hotel room. (i wonder if she ate them!)

then to summer palace. first thought was cambodia. "not another temple (palace in this case!) maybe also coz the climbing was no mean feat and its just exhausting beyond words. =/

youve not been to beijing unless youve had peking duck! all that food for ten bucks per person. =/ and yes more drinks, but at the top of a building (with good waffles we didnt manage to try i wonder why!) not really good with chinese names so yeah, apparently youve to be invited and be on a guestlist if not youre not guaranteed entry.

love you long long cheeky chan!

love
the best part of any story

decided to throw on "I Am Sam" and bawled my eyes out ten minutes into the movie. not a tear-jerker per se but serves a stark reminder, when the basic act of giving becomes vacuous and the lack of emotion prevails. it managed to make my cool fawnl turn on the waterworks too! hee okay maybe shed a drop or two but yeah. the power of this word we sometimes use so loosely. =/ more peeks into my landing in bj.

H&M was so disappointing. =/ and when jen sifted through my pictures she was like, "disappointin and you still managed three bags?!?"
it was a refreshing break sitting with this tea master after a whole day of shopping, learning the art of pin cha. he's a pretty good conman opps i mean salesman, coz i walked out with a whole bag of tea and whatnot, coz he says it has a slimming effect and blah blah blah.

then to dinner where you pay a 100rmb per pax and you dont know what they will serve you 'cept for you telling them if you dont eat certain foods. so on came shrooms, vegetables, meat, (we really prayed hard there was no dog!) and yeah. interesting.

yes deep inside a deserted alley, behind that quaint lil green door, is an outlandish and ingenious restaurant where we had a carb free and super duper satisfying meal. before we killed ourselves again. at a russian bar, where vodka cranberry is not a sizeable glass of cranberry juice and vodka, but a shot glass of 40percent alcohol, the russian way. =/ GAH. one sembuca was enough. a first. =/ =/ =/ hahaha

its the mighty trio once again at our second home discussing humongous plans. think monstrous and prodigous! haha but yeah. and through it all, we just agreed unanimously, united we stand, divided we fall. the growth we made despite our versatility and differences.
im very proud. the bond we share. sisterly and tight. both of them were dolling up to meet clare whilst i was a sad lil thing clearing emails =/

met ern to pass her my fff card so she could shop her heart out and then went for yummy jap food.

to the bestest friend in the www. thank you for having me over. for being there when i need a shoulder, a listening ear. just. being.

for letting me whack your ass when you sleep (the bed's too big!), for planning (or trying to kill me) with your itinerary.

for letting me camwhore whilst you get ready for work. i was trying to follow rach's pose for bea. the BBO!

for knowing ive got your back, just like you have mine =)

we had 13 fantabulous, ludicrous, STUPENDOUS years and counting. you taught how to let go (coz you'd get me), how to laugh, cry, fight for what i want. independence, insanity, you taught me "i love my fwends, coz they take care of me (when i am drunk)" =p i love you so so much! til when your jetsetting days are over, til when we grow old and your kids become my god-children, til we cant go down and wiggle up with ease at the clubs. im bucking up by meeting you the friday you touch down =p hee hee hee love love love! more peeks to come yo!

thank you for listening to my woes my rants my absurdity. sometimes playing along with me. thank you for teaching me even though youre younger, meekness in the eye of storms, resilience, flexibilty and the need to move on. thank you for injecting your vigor and vivacity whenever im down. for the late night heart to heart talks we had on the double decker old school bed. for not passing judgement but comfort, support and a ready ear to listen or shoulder to cry on. youre truly the best friend, chum, soulmate and everything to me =)

i want to meet the president of the united states. or maybe just someone really smart and powerful. to be his/her aide or to just observe in silence. i think i might die feeling very stupid. to think im an advocator of knowledge, the abbetor of learning and im the least bit wise. stepped into the bookstore today and the pangs of guilt from leaving the time traveller's wife unfinished kinda knocked the wind outta me. coz when i left, i was told the look on my face was so vulnerable i looked like i was about to pass out. bryan left me with a phrase today. "the journey is long but filled with serendipitous surprises." with this, i endeavour with the thirst to never stop and be content with just, knowing.

with the sisters for high tea at st regis. part one to vels birthday gift. they dont say blood is thicker than water for nothing. its been awhile since ive felt at ease coz they let me just, be. the be verb. a powerful word indeed. "these people make me who i am" "we shouldnt be blamed for the choices we make" feeling a little small and insignificant so indulge me. or just. leave me be.

this is where i go when i need to clear my mind. the tranquility it brings is heartening. i make my choice.
