Save Me

So, this post is dedicated to my bro, CK because we were chatting online and I told him that I need to shit and he wants me to blog first. But anyways, I already shat so I'm blogging right now. HAHAHAHAH I know I am seriously the most disgusting girl around (Russ never fails to remind me) because I am very open about talking about shit, pee and what-nots.

Ok, so all these pictures are not in order 'cause I cannot really remember when I took them.

Took this while I was cooking curry for my colleagues... The tomato was in a heart shape when I cut it into half!

And we have a new addition to our house, Orchids! Russ likes them so I got it for him... Told you that he is a Singaporean at heart @@ The messy thing in the background is a computer that Russ set up for the TV and the LCD...

And we ate yummy ramen!!

Some random pictures...  I actually wore the zebra dress today. LOL
OH, we got a mirror!!!!!!!! Thanks to Russ' mama... she gives us everything, hahaha everyweek we'll go back to his house for dinner and steal things back to use. On another note, I think I'm really lucky because Russ' family is really nice to me. I think I've never hug my family members or anyone as much as his family!

Ok, now here comes the highlight of my weekend... We went to Carmel!! Which was gorgeousssssssssssss... I don't feel like I'm in the States at all and I kept telling Russ that its so European, as though I'm back in Paris!

On our way... the weather was great that day!!!

After a 1.5hrs drive, we got to Carmel!!!!

Serenity, doesn't this look like Cottesloe when we drove in???

Touristy shot...............

Russ loves his Havianas from SG!

Ok, I think I've put on weight again. FAT FACE ALERT.

I'm lazy so I'll post the rest of the pictures up on facebook!

16 March 2010

Baileys baby is a big girl now!

The Self Destruct Button

 don't know what to write but I still wanna post an entry just for the heck of it....
Flood this post with my pictures... But then again, I haven't been taking pictures in the morning these few days as I've been taking a colleague's car to work instead of Russ'.

BTW, WASSUP WITH GREY'S ANATOMY?? I didn't watch it for a while and all of a sudden, there's all these new people in the show. Geez...

These are what I wore last week.... Anyway, I'm like trying to wear different clothes everyday to see if I can wear all the clothes I have (I have clothes that I wore like once or twice or NEVER!). So, let's see if I can keep up with that...

Man, my proportions look weird in this photo... But the point is, look at how I tied my scarf... I learned it from my favourite website. I know you can't really tell how it's like in the picture but compare it to the other picture where I have the same leopard print scarf in a different color. Hahaha

Man... I have been wearing this pair of boots to death. Its soooooooo comfortable and great looking.

Took this in the toilet because I didn't take a picture in the morning... I was wearing purple thighs!

Did I mention that I cooked fish curry and it turned out to be a huge success? I'm so freaking proud of myself.

This prata is for Russ... He loves prata (I think he is a Singaporean at heart).

Our dinner...

Fish curry... Just because it's sooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Made stewed pork ribs with carrots... Originally wanted to make soup with the ribs but because we slow-cooked it, it became too oily so I drained out the soup and added soy sauce, sesame sauce and dark soy sauce.

And lastly... Had steak on Monday night while watching Gossip Girl! =)

Ok, Its 5:37 and I can't wait to go home. WHY IS TIME PASSING SO SLOWLY???  Russ is going San Francisco tonight to meet up with some random people for drinks and what not. Wish I'm in Singapore right now so I can call Chewy to meet up at Tampines.

sigh...

p.s: wish me luck! We are trying to complete the apartment by this weekend because everyone has been asking us when they can come over. Need to get dresser, shoes rack, plants and hopefully we are done!

Oh OHOHOHOHO! Forgot to include these images (WE BOUGHT A BED!!! Tempur Pedic... Its been good so far but we'll see...since we have 100 days return policy)

CL, can you remember these bedsheets?!?!?!?!? You were with me at the John Little expo sale and helped me chose it!

We threw everything on the floor so we can put the bedsheets in... And you can see how the wardrobe looks like. We are sharing it now and it's barely enough to fit all my stuff. SIAN

It feels a bit weird sleeping on this initially cause the mattress mold into shape with your body but it's really comfortable after a while..

All set up and ready! It's funny cause when you buy a bed here, they give you a "box" and a metal frame for free... See that white/beige thing below the mattress? That's the "box" and it adds height to the mattress with the frame so you don't really buy a standard bed frame. I wanna get one cause I think it looks funny with a headboard and stuff but I guess I can wait since this works well now and we can get a proper frame if I decided to stay here for the rest of my freaking life..........................

Ok, so this is really the end of my random post. Oh.. and it's 6:09 already...going to bug Russ to bring me to get du buk ki AGAIN!

Let Go

Drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then advances with the form
So, honey, back for more
Can't you see that all the stuff's essential?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can wait
You roll your eyes
We've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's al right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

If Tomorrow Never Comes

The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.

This is one of my  favourite quotes from Grey's Anatomy...

So last Friday, I cooked Curry Chicken and KNN bought the wrong chicken again (bought the wrong chicken when I tried cooking Hainanese Chicken Rice for Russ' family). What is it with U.S chicken that it's so freaking tough??????? Back home, you can buy an random chicken and you know that it's going to turn out right. 

Anyway, it was a 90% success since the curry turn out nice with the potatoes 'cept for the damn chicken. 

We also bought some side dishes from the Deli in Marina... Notice our bamboo plant?

So Russ want me to post the following picture, which he is so darn proud of because he hooked up a LCD monitor from the TV & computer to our dining area so we can watch TV while we are eating...

And this was what I wore on Friday, damn slack please...

Top - Taiwan Shilin Market

Jeans - Zara

As usual, I have something in a DHL bag...

So during the weekend, we went Home Depot to get some shoe racks for me(WHAHHA, we are trying to set up something for me in the storage room), had dinner back at Russ' house 'cause he wanted to spend more time with his dad before he leaves for Korea...

We stayed over and went to San Francisco on Sunday for a car show, with Jon, Theresa and Su...  Managed to chat with Theresa who is really really nice (finally, someone nice!!) and we had dinner in Japan Town. Told Russ that I wanna go back there again soon to hang out.. I dunno what is it with Japan & Japanese stuff, they are just so unique and yummy! Even the simplest of things, they managed to make the packaging so intricate and beautiful. I don't have pictures cause it was a short outing, most of the time was spent at the car show... Will take more the next trip!

Eating the huge-ass strawberries... In case you are wondering what's that pink thing on my head... it's actually a fringe velcro!! Hhahaha some nifty Japanese invention (got it back home) that you use it to keep your fringe away from yout face or to create a parting with it.

 OK, lastly... this is what I wore today.......... Damn it, why is it raining every day????????????
