Can I shop in HK, please?

I simply adore my new pen. Thanks to my dear mum, she bought me this lovely pen while she was in HK. Hahaha....she was so certain that I would like it. And true enough, it was divine. Better than the Meistruck series, the Boheme was class above the rest. Not too garish but with subtle class. I like!



Thanks mum!

The Client

What happens when you do not have love but only work in your life?

ANS: A client that thinks you are great and a life that no one notices.

Surprise, surprise, and I thought that only 6 months into my job, there is no such thing as harmony between your client and yourself. My client actually remembered my birthday and bought me a box of GODIVA chocs. I think that it is the sweetest gesture yet from them and I just feel appreciated. Even when they are my clients, they are generous enough to remember that I am working on the day after my birthday. I could have been like my colleagues and requests for leave the day or the day after your bitrhday. I hardly have the option of leaving work as meeting after meetings has been planned. Back to back for that matter. Maybe my absence for a day would caused more chaotic sequences when I return.

Nonethless, it is still a box of chocs. Shared it with my colleagues and that is what is important. Happiness should be shared and never kept to yourself. That is the beauty of sharing.

Thank you Vivien, Cynthia and Fei Fei.

Happy Birthday to Moi!

The celebrations continued from a party at Emmanuel Stroobant's latest edition to his family of renown restaurants. I have to say that the food at Brussels Sprouts was less than expected. The concept was casual and outdoorsy, with beer being the staple of the restaurant. Pork Belly, Sirloin steak, Poached chicken, Signature mussels were the gala for the evening accompanied with a platter of sides that made us yearned for more. The sound of clinking cutlerys and mishaps formed a musical backdrop not so frequently seen. The air was what you would find in a typical pay and eat restaurant, it was the chic, Jaime Oliver style.

Glamourously beautiful, the company of 3 made the evening one that will be hard to forget.

A whole lot of wishes

A telly for the day of wishes from my beloved friends and family. I have never done this before, but I suppose it is a good try for this year. If not, I will just erase all the smses that I received this year and forget that it ever happened.

Birthday yet again

Just past midnight and I am in a contemplative mood. Should I have headed out to celebrate something that happens ony once a year to me or maybe keeping it sweet and simple is the way to go? Nonetheless, I made sure that the eve to the birthday was spent with understanding that I will do only things that will make me happy.

Dinner with IC and C at Hongkong Cafe. It just seemed that he never left Singapore but was so busy with the workouts at the gym that we have not met in months. I am glad that he is back and looking forward to spending some time with him. Did drinks with IM and SC at this new funky place, Wild Oats. The wow factor of the bar would have to be the ID and ambience setting. Chic and modern, the bar exudes old charm that has been forgotten by the people in Singapore. The only problem was transport and some mozzies that did not spare my friends and I.

For now, I will just have to be contented with air-conditioning and my lappie to spend the early part of my birthday. Hope that age will not change my optimism for life and this year will be a better year than the last. All aside, I am just grateful for the friends around me. =)

Launch of Love Seat

Karim Rashid has always been an inspiration to my life. His designs not ony exudes practicality but style at the same time. As reluctant as I was from the duties of work, I still made it a point to attend his party. Not for the sole reason that he is Karim Rashid, but also for the fact that it is also the first event of my very good friend. Why not? Free flow of champagne to the company of friends.

As much as I thought he might just be a humble guy to the people around him, he was basically busking himself in breasts and his very own champagne. I would have rather not seen him in such a context. His diva attitude might have gotten him to where he is now. He actually brawled at a couple of people who were actually not so keen in what he has to say. Oh well, if you were what he is, I suppose you could get away with anything.

Was happy to have met up with some old time colleagues as well as media friends. I always meet them under such occassions. Fun I must say.

A well done party by my great friends. A toast to the love seat.

If.Know.So

You try to tell me that someone is interested in you? Is that suppose to mean anything to me? Are you expecting me to respond to that kind of pressure or are u simply making checking if I might have something for you? If you are even remotely keen why not just tell me? Or if you do know my interest, why not clear it? A wonder how something so simpy can be so complicated. If only I knew what is in your mind.

It is out there

Just realised that the type that I am looking for is out there. They are just hiding away from the glaring lights of the city. What goes from you is a pack of uncertainty. But I have met a perfect ideal type that wowed me away with bed talks and probably romance.
