Fairytale is never real...but I got one :)

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair"

:))) This is the golden hair girl I mentioned in the last post. ^_^!!!! Rapunzel!!!

I'm totally envious of her super duper long hair! HAHAHA! Maybe it's a bit too long, but how I wished I had my long hair back now, cause I missed braiding them. *beams!*

It was a impromptu movie. We were just loitering outside the cinema, and happened that this girl caught our attention. So we went ahead, and with 3D effects! ^_^!!! *YAY!* 2nd time! HOHO!

Anyway, I didn't quite know what's the story is about, just that this girl has long hair. Mr. updated me a bit during the advertisement so I have an idea what to expect. :))) And the moment the movie starts, I was smiling away like a kid. It's totally a kids' show, but really, 大人 like us should watch such movies to bring back some kids' memories. 

You can expect lots of musical, and some "can't believe it happens" stunts. Well, it's a Disney show so it's only right that there's magic in it. ^_^!!! This isn't a typical prince saves the princess show. The "prince" is actually a bandit that happened to chance upon this tall tower and thus, met the long hair. :))))


And the best part is this guard horse, Maximus. He can't stopped making me laugh like crazy. ^_^!!! It was a bit touching at the end (I cried, -_-""), but lucky it was a happy ending! I just ♥ happy endings. And it's back to reality when you step out of the theater.

But another surprise awaits me. ^_^!! Hehehehe! I was totally caught off guard by it.


See the happy me? *beams!* A new Minnie mouse for me and she's PINK! HAHAHA!

Thank YOU for everything you've given me. YAY to more of happy days ahead! ^_^!!!

Another weekend just passed with the blink of the eye

:) Had a fulfilling weekend! I believe it's well-deserved since it was such a long week of endless work. Kudos to my colleagues, Mr Lin, and of course the Blondie girl! :))) HAHAHA! Shall tell you guys more about them! :)))

Friday evening, we had our section gathering at Feast @ East (Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel) right after work. It was super last minute (I only made the reservations on Wednesday) since Boss requested to have it sooner. And due to tight budget (-_-"" Imagine each person only has less than 30 bucks for a decent buffet?!), we had to settle with Roxy (the card promotion, 1 dines free with 3 paying adult). :)))

The food wasn't that great, just average because I had tasted better than that. And the variety is SO little!!! Really, I had no idea what to eat because a lot of the stuff are raw which I can't take. That leave only those cooked food, which I can count with my 10 fingers. =.=|||

I was told that they are famous for their Laksa and so I went for it on my first round! HAHAHA! ^_^!!! Alright, I can't deny that it was good, and I enjoyed it. Usually the first dish that goes down your stomach will determine whether you will be able to enjoy the rest of the dinner. *HENG!* 


Sashimi is not for me! *>.<""*

The cooked food for my 2nd round. Like I say, the variety isn't that much, so I can't be too picky either. Wasn't that bad, but I think my mum cooked better. *thumbs up!* And the bread, I didn't eat it, just thought that it will look nice if I take a close up shot of it. ^_^!!!

Ohh, and this shot is just trying to show that my camera is wide angle. HAHAHA! Not too wide angle in this picture though, I guess I got the wrong angle. I worked better with my right hand. Hmmmm........

The guys (both process and equipment) enjoying a beer or two. ^_^!!!

The group photos! :) And yeah, I'm the only lady there. -_-""

The so-called 司机 who saved me from tons of cab fares. HOHOHO! ^_^!!!! *thank YOU!*

The Process (x3) VS Equipment (x1)! HAHAHAHA! And for the first time I see a playful sight of CM! LOL! Quite candid, and I'm loving each shot. ^_^!!!

Home sweet home right after that. Ohh, and I was still hungry. >.<"""

It's just me

I'm someone that is always open to ideas, and willing to accept them if you convinced me. Which is why I consider myself as a not-so-stubborn girl. ^_^!!! (Ain't that a plus point?)

If there's a time when I don't agree with you, it means that I'm not convinced. I don't care what's your reason, I just don't accept it. And the reason is simple, I just don't want to or I'm not ready for to accept. So either you listen to me, or forget about it. 

BUT don't force me to do something that I don't want to do at all. When I say no, it means no. Friends who understand me will know that. Unfortunately, some people don't.

That's just me, so for once, listen to me when I say no. Don't make me go through it again.

Just some complaining and nagging. I feel so much better now! HAHAHAHAHA! ^_^!!!!

Now, I really do own a car. With my name and number on it. How cool is that? ^_^!!!!

A song that says a thousand words



I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day...
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately...

So here I am
And can you please tell me... oh

Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

chorus

And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...

chorus


Meaningful song, and the lyrics do say some of the feelings.

BMW World 2010, Singapore

Honestly, I am seriously thinking of buying a car, just for the sake of practicing my driving skills, and at the same time to wake up a bit later every morning to get to work. You know, always sms-ing the colleague to get a ride can be quite maddening. Feeling 很不好意思, yet don't want to spend the $ on cab fares.

And while considering through the available cars, Boss Han invited us to go for the BMW World at Marina Bay Sands (MBS). HAHAHA! I'm not a huge fan of BMW cars, they are just too damn big and heavy. -_-"" But on the other hand, it will be a nice exposure and I haven't been to MBS before. So why not? ^_^!!!

Right at the entrance, we're greeted with a huge "Welcome" signboard. :)))

It's free admission for everyone, and we had pre-registered ourselves online before the show started. :) Each and everyone of us is entitled to a lucky draw (to win a trip to Germany! To visit their factory?) when we registered, and we are given this lanyard where our pass number is shown. 

It was quite crowded that day. Probably because it's the 2nd last day of the show, and everyone is coming down to have a look so as not to miss these "hard-to-come-by" car shows. I was greeted with a row of RED cars. Man, you've no idea how high I was. HAHAHA! I mean, the red is so pretty (Yeah, I ♥ red more!) and so seductive! ^_^!!! 


Don't ask me the specifications of individual cars. I know nothing about it. HAHAHA! They're too alien to me and the only specs I can understand is the fuel consumption. BMW cars do have high fuel consumption from what I see. -_-"" And the oil prices doesn't go down at all now. *Bleah!* 

I'm definitely not those "showgirl" type. Look how rigid I look in these photos. =.=|| HAHAHA! But then, the focus of the pictures is not me. :)))

This is the only car that I think looks cool, and smaller in size (as compared to other BMW cars) and it's hatch-back a.k.a no 屁股! HAHAHA! Making it easier to park! ^_^!!!! If only on display is a red one ~ *giggles!*

^_^!!! :) They have this iphone-look-alike camera for me to take shots with! *Cool!* Just too bad that there's too many people if not the background will be full of cars! HOHO!

New arrivals! ^_^!!! Both QL and MZ joined us after attending their friend's wedding! YAY! ^_^!!!!

By the time we left the show it was already 7 plus, and I was complaining hungry since the last meal I had was my breakfast. LOL! Carl's Junior we had and Cafe cartel's dessert! HOHO! And I concussed right after I reached home! (Maybe after an hour or 2 of surfing the net) -_-""

So much to say, so little time to post

:) Finally, I'm feeling better for the past 2 weeks. Back to old Miss Sarah! Cheerful and lively! ^_^!!!!! Maybe it's all the planned activities keeping me occupied, and thus, making me stop thinking too much about things that won't change anymore. No more of grumbling, but moving forward to a brand new day. ^_^!!!! But still, the feeling of losing something dear to you sux. *bleah!*

Met up with my dearies for a Dim Sum session (all because Boss Han is craving for Dim Sum) at 揾到食, somewhere along Geylang. Surprisingly our attendance was GREAT! Lots of catch-up and crapping around the whole table (as usual). And of course, we're just too NOISY! HAHAHA! :)))) Had some of my favorite "must-order" dim sum. And I wasn't disappointed at all HOHO!!!


Yam Cake, zhu chang fen, siew mai, hak gao!!! YUMMSS!!!

See the attendance! :)) Almost full! ^_^!!! 

Strolling through the streets of Geylang right after the fulling dinner. Unfortunately, we didn't see much, except lots of guys staring at the whole bunch of us. Lucky there are some guys around, if not we will definitely get surrounded by them.

By the time we reached the station, it was already 11pm. And it's kind of 不三不四 timing. Too early to go home, and too late to catch a late night movie. So we went on to Clarke quay in hope of finding a place to chill, maybe a glass of wine. HAHAHA! But in the end, we settled at TCC, enjoying our drinks + sinful desserts. *giggles!*


Our sinful desserts and my Peachy Sunshine. :)))

The final 5 :) And we stayed till 2 plus before making our way home. HAHAHA! 

And of course, the next day I woke up super duper late! HAHAHAHA! :)))

*I need to come up with a wish list. And all must be within his limits. -_-"" *

CSI: The Experience :))) *YAY!*

It's too late to blog, but still I'm not that tired :))) Able to wake up late these few days definitely cheer me up lots! :))) Just that lots of complain from my mummy. “还不起床啊! 太阳都塞到PP了!" And I bet that even  at level 14 you can also hear her (Although the highest level is only 12 -__-"")

Had a fruitful long weekend. Friday early afternoon went for the CSI: The Experience Exhibition @ Singapore Science Center. :))) *YAY!* My favorite US drama is CSI and among the 3 series, CSI: New York is the best! ^_^!!! HOHO!

Superbly excited about going to be a Forensic scientist for a day! ^_^!!!

While queuing for our tickets. :) The exhibition itself cost SGD20, but if you buy the package (which includes admission to the Science Center) @ 21SGD, you get to enjoy a discount of 3 bucks from the Passion card. So do bring it along if you have it :)))


Hehehe! You get to try and solve all the 3 cases inside the exhibition, with a crime scene at the beginning. You have to pay attention to the evidence found in the scene and take note of them on the report given to you. Once all the details are taken down, you'll have to enter the different labs where you can analyze all the different evidence. And slowly you will start to piece everything together, and you will find the truth.

To me, I think it's kind of easy to piece them together. Partly because I attended Forensic Science lectures during Uni days. So I have a bit of basic knowledge. Also this exhibition is open to everyone, thus they have to cater to young kids, which is why throughout the whole process, it was well guided. :))) I think it's good to expose the kids to these knowledge, as this is something not taught in school. Who knows, maybe one of them might become a REAL forensic scientist one day? ^_^!!!

Definitely enjoyed myself that day! :))) Hehehehe! ♥!!!! If only there are more of such exhibitions! HAHAHA!

Do support if you've the time! :))) It's worth the 18 bucks! HAHAHA!

Ohh, and photography is not allowed inside the showcase. :))) Snap while you can outside! *heex!*

When you can't sleep.....

When you can't get to sleep, lying on the bed staring at the glowing stars, thoughts will just keep on bombarding your mind. So instead of forcing myself to sleep, I chose to put my thoughts down in words. ^_^!!!

I supposed it's only normal for a girl to get moody once a month :) But this month happened to turn out the worst of all :'( You must be thinking it's only the start of the month, why would it be the worse when there's another 28 days to go. To me, things can't get any worse than now, but then life still got to move on. 

I must say that I can be quite an independent girl. I used to be able to handle things myself, but I found out recently that even some small decisions I had to ask for opinions. And the only reason I can come out with is that people around me kept on pampering me. :)))

HAHAHA! I must be crazy to complain that there's too much pampering for me. I mean, who wouldn't like to be pampered? Once a while, someone to pamper you can be quite a luxury to enjoy. Especially if the someone meant a lot to you. :) 

And as time goes by, you'll crave (Or should I say look forward?) for such pampering and sooner or later, you'll think it's part of what everyone does for you. But these pampering isn't good at all, it makes you lose your sense of self. Your own decision making and most important of all, you will start to depend on others. 

When you start to depend on others, you're showing a weaker side of yourself to them. Just recently, the amount of stress and unexpectedness took me away that I broke down in front of a friend. A friend that I knew I shouldn't cry in front of. Because he was not meant to see me cry. Crying (not of happy tears) is something that one should do alone, to enjoy the solitude found in your own world. I like crying alone, because that's when I can cry as loud as I like, to let everything out. Especially when I'm under the blanket. HAHAHA! :)) Crying do clear your mind a bit, sort of like opening up the left side of your brain. So that you can think logically. And when facts start to lay out in front of you, just accept them. Because they are already facts and there's nothing you can do to change it.

I'm someone to work towards what I want in life, but for once, I decided to give up. Not because I can't do it, but because I have learn to be content with what I'm blessed with. Someone who's willing to accept the whole package. Be it good or bad, he's always there to help me through the tough times. I'm learning not to take things for granted anymore and treasure what's in front of me. I don't wanna live my life in regrets.

And I wanna be back to the cheerful, smiley and a happy-go-lucky girl! :))) And of course, to make up for my pillar of support for these years,

Yeah, he's tall enough to be my pillar HAHAHA! :) Thank YOU for everything. :))))

P.S: Looking forward to 26th November :)))
