Does weather has something to do with travelling spirit?

I guess it's due to the monsoon season at this time that it rains so much recently. Sky starts to get gloomy and grey clouds all move in and we know it's going to rain anytime soon.



I dont know. I've already thought of the yearly travel plan. Ha ha. To kick of the great 2008, i want to have a great beachy holiday in Krabi. As what hubby said, it's something like Phuket but it's way more breathe-taking and much less commercialised as compared to Phuket. I need something like that. Plus i can do heaps and heaps of shopping. The exchange rate is crazy i tell you. How does Krabi look like? I must implant the idea in my head that Krabi is not a type of crab as to Nicole's post. I can't help it. It sounds like it.

Via Air Asia, it's now offering the price of 88 cents (tax exc.) [YES! NOTHING'S WRONG WITH YR EYES] one way ticket to Krabi. The offer opens from 11-16 Sept 07. You book a place then you get to travel on especially low cost ticket (which makes u really thrilled deep within) between 8th Jan 2008-30th June 2008. How nice is that. Now, EVERYONE can afford to fly. A bowl of kolo mee will cost you more. Dont eat that. Save it to fund your ticket to Krabi next year!! Bring along friends. It will be fun.

Rodent fever

Currently, there's a very famous rat who's in charge over the entertainment world of all the cinemas, home theatres, DVDs, pirated DVDs and of course, not to forget the games!


I'm trying to confiscate this big poster from a friend of my hubby's =P

Before i get to watch the movie, I've already got my hands on the game (you know, just to get a feel to be that rat). I can't say it's VERY interesting but it certainly catch my eyes and my mind and my time and . . .I can be stuck with that PSP Ratatouille game for hours before i noticed it's bed time. I couldn't believe i've done that. I know i have a lot of stuffs to do like piles of exercise books to mark, students' exercises to look at but . . .they're the last thing on my list now. It's bad in some way. I know i'll get to finish them when the nick of time hits. At the mean while, i'm just enjoying myself being that rat.



Looking at the trailer, it really lures my interest to watch that movie. I got that feeling that it will be a very entertaining ratty movie. Can't wait.

Britain's Got Talent

These are some clips that keep repeating themselves in my head the whole afternoon today. One word: Marvellous!

A 6 year-old innocent girl - Connie Talbot with her angelic voice

Her first impression to the world.


Connie in the semi-final did not fail to impress the world, again.


Connie in the Final and to the world's expectation, she did it again flawlessly!

A 13 year-old street dancer who hopes to give his family a better life

Bear in mind he's only 13.

Damon Scott - Some British ventriloquist and his witty monkey


Another eye opener


Oooo wah.....and yucksss

anxiety and anticipation

days seem to be long-winded. life seems to be full of awaitings. anxiety is growing within me. anticipation for that something to happen seems to be impossible and is taking forever. i keep holding on and letting go. i'm decaying, mentally. there's no way out. nor any way to be in it. i'm not in control. in fact, i can never be in control. it feels so powerless. what have i done. what have i not done.

life can be miserable. it can be a blissful one. it all depends on that split second of choice that you make. which one do i choose to have. it all depends on that split second of the time in my entire life.

Singapore trip 6-8 Aug 07

I couldn't believe my hidden shopaholic ability! Never knew i could spend so much in just 3 days.

As i've promised myself and my hubby, Singapore trip was a great stress relief for both of us. We went on the second honeymoon after half year getting married. wait. Did i just say HALF YEAR? already? Hubby was so romantic.
6th Aug was our half year wedding anniversary. He was full of cheeky ideas. We stayed in the 5-star hotel of Meritus Madarin Hotel located right at the centre of the Orchard Road in Singapore. The hotel was supposed to surprise me with bouquet of flowers on the bed and so on on the arrival of our hotel check in but it didnt appear that way and it was all due to hotel management's fault. Anyway, it's the heart and thoughts that matter. I love you lao gong.

See? =P

We planned to visit Sentosa but then it is under heavy renovation to create a resort soon. In 2-3 years time maybe. In addition to the super hot and humid weather, we gave up the plan and roamed in Vivo City for the whole day.

On the second day, we spent another whole day shopping along the all-time-famous Orchard Road. The great Singapore sale just ended around the end of July and we were a step late to join them. Anyway, doesn't really matter as i didn't plan to buy a lot. The whole trip was mainly to release stress and take a break. In Singapore, there's nothing much you can do. If you're not there for business purpose, then as a visitor, you can only enjoy the shopping spree that you should have expected even before you step on the land. Orchard road is already too much for visitors to buy all they need and all they don't need as well. Too much distractions and attractions.

On the third and last day on the land, added to my collections is this LV bag. Frankly, I never used to like branded stuffs but i didn't realised that i've bought these few bags so far. This is a very expensive hobby i would say. Luckily, i live in Kuching. Not KL nor Singapore nor Europe where these places would surely turn me into a legal, aggressive shoppaholic.

pre-vacation chores

At last, another break for me and hubby. We will go somewhere near as calendar is not giving us a long school break or anything close to that. Plus, the tuition centre is still open for tuition on the Sat, which it's supposed to be a holiday, dont know for what reason, on the day. So, i need to off myself and hubby needs to off himself as well from any work commitments for the next three days. Totally OFF.



But again, my mind still could not put the works down even til the last minute before we board the flight tonite and ended up I'm preparing the teaching plan for this coming Sat. I'll be back on Wed nite and i have another 2 full days but i just feel that i need to at least start off and if possible, finish off the teaching plan first. at least. I still have a lot of markings to do and it's endless i tell you. Thinking about it would make me headache already.

I promise my hubby and myself that this time, i must have a good short yet meaningful vacation and that means VACATION and BREAK. Not like the last two months when i still need to pack all the report cards of students to go together with me back home to Perth. Two weeks were not enough then.

Okay. Getting myself back to work now. Or else, i'll just dream for a good vacation in Singapore tonight in hotel with all my works scattering on the bed with me.

Happy 3-days holiday~Safe and sound all of you out there ^_^

Today is an OK day

hehehe...today i feel alrite. I feel better actually. I had a lot of mood swings and i believed that happen to all the females out there. Thanks for DH to be supportive, loving and caring for me.

Now, out of the norm, i am going to post some very random stuffs i just found in my computer. Some masterpieces done by others instead of me. i have no talent or watsoever that could be shown off. At times, i really admire the talents people have and with their hands, they can make the world seems to be a much more beautiful and meaningful place to live in.

Taa daa, i now present to you my mom in law's masterpiece:


CUTE OR NOT??!?!?!?? I found them too cute to be put into mouth and munch them..i did eat one in the end though..couldn't resist the pao...mainly=P

And, this is my sister, Karen's version (sorrie mek, couldn't help but to post them up for you..they're VERY cute too..in a way):


The fatter version...which is still cute right? People always say pig is cute..so i guess a fat tortoise is cute too. ^o^

Another masterpiece from sister:


I am so proud of her. We used to only knit scarves when winters were almost hitting..like two months before. Since when she advances herself knitting this mobile phone pocket...i dont know. It was so well done that i had to rub my eyes twice looking at it, flipping it back and forth trying to look for any flaws i could possibly find..hahaha.You're good! *thumbs up*

i think she will strangle me when i go back to Perth next time but dont care. Post it up first:


i make the size smaller already..comparing to the others. ^_^

Now, bomb me lor.... X_X"
