Back from Switzerland....

Finally got back after a looooong 12 hour flight.. Sigh, wasn't a very good flight back (nothing to do with the service tho), no thanks to turbulence and bad weather. But I guess I made it. Suffering from a little jet lag now. (fyi, Switzerland's 7 hours behind) Ended up sleeping 16 hours last night and that totally explains the reason why I'm still awake now. (It's way past my bedtime!!!!!!! dammit)

Anyway, Switzerland is fabulous. Gorgeous country. I loved almost everything about it - the people, the weather (i did quite like the cold weather actually), the buildings, the mountains and simply just the place. But one definite complaint I have, is the ridiculous cost of food. One simple meal, say fried rice and a bottle of coke, (per head) would easily come up to 15 franz. (which is approx. SGD18). This is insane... So guess we had no choice but to go budget most of the time. Seems like most Western countries have this issue...(pretty similar to my Aust experience actually, but at least water was cheaper!)

Besides that, everything else was great. And we were really lucky as there was snow!! Normally, it doesn't snow till dec and Mid november is just too early in winter for that. But guess God heard our prayers and it snowed two weeks before we arrived, leaving beautiful snow everywhere in Mount Rigi and Luzern! Hee... feels totally like X'mas out there. Loved it. Loved it. And Loved it.


Just a Glimpse of the snow at Mount Rigi.... (Feels like I'm at the Top of the world..)

I love it there....

Wished I cld spend a few years of my life there...

Oh ya, for those who may concern... (esp Chen Qiwei), no rice was fried once again... Thanks to really bad rashes I developed as a result of the cold and dry weather. Ended up itching like crazy every single night - where got mood to fry. Seems like I really should avoid cold or dry countries during my actual honeymoon.. LOL...

Ooops... too much information...

Surprise..

Out of greed and mischief, I demanded that Zim leaves me a surprise gift to welcome me on the day I arrive... (was expecting a scarf or glove or something along that line)

Hee.. and guess what Silly Zim bought me...

LOL...

a PS 3 controller..

ROFL...

What a sweetheart...

but a PS 3 would do a better job! (hee...just kidding!)

Thanks Zim... oh well, at least it means that a PS 3 is coming our way..

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Greetings from Geneva...

Yap, touched down in one whole piece! In fact, it was a great flight, with really spacious seats and of course, Kris world and a really nice lady sitting beside me. Well, a truly SQ experience indeed. =) (Definitely a contrast from my last flight, for the better of course.)

Anyway, leaving Geneva for Zurich is less than 12hours. Hee, pretty much enjoyed Geneva - Gorgeous buildings, GREAT shopping (kinda busted one tenth of the $$ I brought at H&M) and of course, great food (CHOCOLATE!) and wine. The only downside is probably the weather. Temperatures have been about 2 degrees (or less) and the extreme strong winds are real killers. But other than that, I'm enjoying myself right now! =P (Zim's been a darling so far!)

Had a little accident on the first night though. Quick summary:
Dozed off watching TV while waiting for Zim to return from his conference. Suddenly, a hard banging/knocking at the door woke me up. (Kinda jumped in surprise) So I jumped off the bed and ran towards the door, hoping to open it before the person leaves. However, while running towards the door, I scratched the bottom of my feet against a metal piece on the floor. The accident kinda scraped off a piece of skin and blood was oozing out. (yeah, it really hurts too). Ended up limping for one day.. T_T . Pretty much healed now but still.. it was a painful incident. TMD.

Anyway, on a side note. Realized I got a missed call from my boss (TMD.. I'm ON LEAVE LOR! wtf).. On one hand, I'm a little concerned and anxious to know what's up. On the other hand, I'm a little irritated as I'm afterall half way around the globe, and I'm pretty sure that it's not really something urgent. IDIOT.

Oh well, shan't think too much about it. Hee.. can't wait to get to Zurich. Hope it will snow over there! (erm, though it's a little bit too early into winter.. LOL, but still... a little hope doesn't kill!)

Till then...

Time to go...

One last post before I head over to the airport...

Starting to feel the excitment ... and of course, the fear of the long flight.. Luckily, I checked out the inflight entertainment earlier at work and found several interesting movies that I'm really keen to catch! (hee.. stardust!!! Transformer!!!) And of course, brought a book, brought my ipod (equipped with a half a dozen of South Park episodes) to help me cope with my anxiety.

Think I'm pretty much done with packing (and so I hope).. Hee. oh well, as long as I've passport, some money and ah ping & ah pong, I thnk i'll survive!

After slogging off my ass for the past two week, I'm finally on my way to find my love. Hee... will be back in just 9 days...

till then..

tata..

All I want for X'mas...

Hee... I know it's a little bit early to discuss this.. but I've already decided what I want for X'mas!

I want a ...*drum rolls*... PS 3!

KeY Chants: PS 3...PS 3... PS 3... PS 3...

Got the hint?

One more day...

I'm just one day away from Geneva...

One day away from Zim...

Almost there...

One more love of my life...

I'm sorry for putting you guys behind my greyed pigs... but you all know... 我是爱你们的！


Thanks for being there with me for my ups and downs.. (hope I've been there for urs too)

And... yeah... I'll try my best to get married sooner to free up one more space for Ray and Sissy... (you get my point..)

I love u guys!

你的花心程度?

Bored at work.. so i did a little test...

Felt that it's pretty accurate..

你的花心程度很低， 不过有时也会有移情别恋的念头，但是你并不想背上背叛情人的罪名，所以不会这么做。 但是你很容易错将对友情当爱情， 容易因关心而发展出爱情，所以你要事实理清感觉，别把友情与爱情混淆了。

Guess I needa stop having anymore distractions...

I hate distractions!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH...

From a friend...

From a good friend... to me and Zim...

"Luv’s story there’s a plenty. The ONE that you’ve been searching for has imprinted your heart everlasting and for an eternity. Together, the luv boat is gonna rudder down the never-ending stream, in the sweeteest symphony and unbroken PROMISE."

thanks for your blessing...

and thank you god for such a great friend..

Two sides of a coin...

I like being alone... Being alone gives me the space I need to think about things that's happening in my life... about decisions I made, about situations I met and about anything else under the sky... I like being alone, not having to think about what to say to others around, just being silent, indulging in the wonderful music my ipod plays, and being drawn into the meaning of the songs...In addition, I especially like being alone in a crowd.... It's an amazing feeling - people walking by you as if you don't even exist there... Nobody caring about you... and you're feel to do whatever your want..(to a certain extend of course)..

But, on the other hand,

I dislike being alone.. When I'm alone and given ample space, I would start evaluating my life... When I start thinking about things in my life.. my imagination will run wild.. I would wonder if things I did were right, decisions I made were sound and of course, lotsa "what if" in my life. I would start to ask myself questions and doubt decisions I make... and it scares me... It scares me to think that I might eventually come to realise that some of the decisions I've made were actually huge mistakes..."What if" questions are the worst of the lot. They make me discontented with my life and wonder about things I probably shouldn't have done, or about things I might actually have if things haven't gone the way they had... I would start thinking about my life in general, about what I want to achieve and what I have achieved (which is probably nothing great).. and start to realize how insignificant and sad my life had been, blah blah, blah... In conclusion, I would probably sink into depression if I'm given too much time and too much space to think too much.. Hence, I need someone/something to occupy my time and to distract me from thinking things through too thoroughly...

Guess till date, zim has been my buffer in this aspect. Our stickiness kinda took up most of my 'alone' time. I would just whip up my phone to give him a call when I sense my imagination starting to stir. And it sucks that he's not around, (though still a phone call away, but the rates are a hell lot of difference).

Wish he would be back soon...

Charcoal pills...

Time to stop my blogging diarrhea ... (though I still have quite some thoughts to share..)

LOL... took my charcoal pills and temporarily stopped my blogging diarrhea...

Till tmr!

Die la.. Me still needa wake up at 7am

Stares at clock. (Reads: 2.12am)

Siao liaoz....

Blogging diarrhea....

It's been a while since i feel so much urge to blog so much....

and today is the day.....

so pardon me for my numerous entries!!!!!

Preparation for Geneva...

Hee... Starting to make preparations for my trip (countdown.. two weeks to go..).. Been shopping for some winterwear... been printing out tons and tons of information on geneva (thank god for office printer) and been speaking to Zim's mom (who's a real darling) who has been giving me great advice on how to get around (hee.. she went there last year..now it's my turn!) Excitment is definitely is building up!!!

Anyway... went for a shopping trip with my mummy to buy some necessities (maybe not so..) for the trip! Enjoyed going out with her, afterall .. it's been a while since i played my part as a daughter...


Auntie Loo sponsored this~Ski-ing Gloves for the snow (on the mountain top!) and a snow cap to keep me warm!

While, Poor key burnt her pocket on this...

Well...of cos, not without sponsors =). Thanks my dear sistas..Your KeY's birthday donation fund will go into footing the bill for this luggage! And thanks to Uncle Loo, who generously paid for 1/3 of the luggage. So effectively, I only paid... hee.. do your own math! =P

So, to reward my mummy for accompanying me and paying for my gloves and cap.. I decided to give Auntie Loo a gift!

Hee... bought this using a $50 voucher that I won using my UOB lady's and of course, with a bit of top up! Hee.. hope mum likes it la.. at least she's using it now.. =)

Oh well, that's all for the shopping trip with mum! Still needa buy a set of long johns to keep me warm...

Meanwhile, KeY's feeling... Excited!

Leaving on a Jet plane...

It's weird how different I feel each time I enter the airport...

Been there countless times since last year and each time.. it felt different...

May 06 - KeY's leaving for the states for three months...
Bunch of really sweet friends came to see me off and of course, the feelings were mixed. On one hand, I was really excited and was looking forward to being in the states for 3 months, yet on the other, I couldn't bear to leave behind my friends, family and especially Zim. I couldn't even look Zim in his eyes without the urge to cry... At that instance, I blamed myself for making the decision of leaving him behind for so long... (Though here I stand today, feeling that the best decision I had made in my life was to go for that trip!).

Feeling: Extreme sadness...

April 07 - Trip with Honors classmate to HK
No extreme sadness of course, Lotsa excitment.. Going for a graduation trip with such a big group of friends was definitely a first for me! But the sad part of it was that, while everyone appeared excited and happy about the trip, there was a nagging feeling deep inside everyone's heart/mind knowing that everyone will go their separate ways after the trip.

Feeling: Emptiness that was temporarily disguised by excitment...

June 07 - Australia Trip with Sis and Buddy and of course Zim
Hee.. of course, there was genuinie excitment while checking in my luggage! Afterall, it was my first trip to cairns and sydney and Zim baby was with me! (YEAH!) With Zim with me and two of my best friends too! It was definitely a trip worth looking forward to! And indeed, it was one trip I really enjoyed!! (Not so sure abt the rest tho) =P

Feeling: Anticipation!

September 07 - Zim comng back from Indonesia
Hee.. Zim went on a working trip for a few days and I decided to pick him up when he returned home. Waiting for his flight to land and for him to get out felt like forever! Felt so good to have him in my arms again! Guess I really missed him while he was gone..

Feeling: Longing for him.... and when he was in my arms, it felt so heartwarming...

November 07 - Sending Zim off for Geneva..(two weeks apart)
Oh well, was unsure if I was going to cry anot, LOL (believe it anot, the first time we were apart, for a mere 2 days, I cried each time I thought of him or heard his voice. And guess where he went - Malaysia. -_-". Forgive me, that was erm... 2 years ago la) Afterall, we will be apart for 2 weeks this time. I was surprised that I was rather strong.. No sadness, (maybe a tiny winy bit) more of a "I'll be missing you" kinda feeling.

Feeling: I'll miss ya~

Oh well, going to the airport once again in two weeks time... I can pretty much guess how I will feel - Dread. The thought of flying alone for 12 hours, transit for 2 hours, internal flight for 2 hours, makes me wanna puke already. Oh well, I'll get by....

KeY's leaving on a jet plane soon...oh, but I know when I'll be back again- 22nd Nov....

Dempsey...

Call me 'sua ku' but after soooo long, I finally made my way to dempsey road...and i'm totally in love with that place.

It reminds me sooooo much of cairns... dimmed lighting, restaurants at both sides of the roads.. and so many pubs... It totally rox!

Anyway, went with Zim to Prime Society for his farewell dinner (he's leaving for Geneva for two weeks before I join him)....



Think the place is abit overrated. The ambience was nice, (I love the decor, especially the mirror image at the entrance).. Service was good. But, I personally thought that the steak wasn't fantastic. The calamari was acceptable and soup was nice. Nothing too wow though. Guess Zim kinda brought my expectations too high. But still, overall, I wouldn't mind heading back to Prime Society again... (maybe with friends, but probably not specially)

Checked out their dessert menu and wasn't impressed...hence we decided to go restaurant hop... and guess what we found..
the ultimate dessert place:


I totally adore their chocolate cake...cos the chocolate syrup oozes out... yummy.. Cheesecake was kinda too sweet.. but oh well, i'll let it pass since it tasted really cheesy (I like!).

That's it for my first experience at dempsey! Hee... but the very next place i'm aiming ..is Oosh... Shall pop by for a drink sometime soon.. any takers?

Life just isn't fair....

Something happened at work today and that was really discouraging... Can't quite explain here (needa cover my own ass la)... But still, I felt really confused. What I learnt today contradicts my own principles. Seems like standing up for your own rights and beliefs might not necessary benefit you all the time, especially at my workplace.

And that really sux.

It sucks so bad that I can't help but feel really helpless and angry. Angry that such things can actually happen in front of my eyes (it feels so 8pm drama serial) and helpless because there is really nothing I can do. Confrontation will just make things worst.

Guess I just have to learn to be more tolerant and learn to control my temper better. (Quit snapping at people so quickly - though I suspect it's in my relexes...sigh~)

Sigh.. waiting for another door to open in my life so that I can walk out of this room and lock the door up forever....

When will that ever happen?
