Cute bathroom slippers (351/365)


if i have my own place, i will definitely get bathroom slippers. although to be honest, i don't really know the need to have it since i have been surviving at home without it for the last 25 years. But somehow, having cute matching bathroom slippers appeal to me. But this one above is too cute for my liking.

I think when i wear them, i will slip more often or start gliding at home. sliding from one place to another. Ah! i know when i have a use for it. I can wear it once i applied moisturizer on my feet andthen wear a sock to walk around! perfect for exfoliating feet day!

Christmas family gathering

what a joyous time it is when family gather to celebrate this wonderful season. and when everyone starts caroling together, praising the birth of Jesus even though some may not be Christians or know the true meaning of Christmas, it is still a pretty heartwarming feeling. Christmas does bond people in a unique way.

after today's gathering at a distant relative's place, I'm quite keen on organizing a Christmas party next year and inviting everyone from different walks of my life. I think it's a really cool thing and can be a good outreach event too. I would really put that into consideration, just that I have to keep in mind BTF's wedding will be during that period too.

lets see, we still have a year to plan anyway.

Annual Planning Conference (350/365)


My agency booked a meeting room in Hotel Re! this time round for our annual planning conference and maybe because it is my first time there or maybe cos the colours are so vibrant, i love the place! It started my little interest in boutique hotels. Maybe for year 2013, i would put doing more staycations as one of my resolution.

Hotel Re! is more like a retro yet modern kind of hotel. With numerous themed boutique hotels in the metropolis, this 12-storey, 140-room boutique hotel is a wondrous surprise waiting to be discovered. All guestrooms in this boutique hotel are furnished with retro inspired furniture and complimented with ultra modern technology for that for that unique Hotel Re! touch. Each floor in this boutique hotel has its own colour theme and all the rooms on the floor resonates with the designated colour and décor. Glittery mosaic-tiled bathrooms in all rooms are the finishing flourish to our distinctive boutique hotel is offering.

Think i will pester vmy boss to do more retreats or planning conference here in 2013!

back!

yes my work trip has ended and flew back this morning. my check in luggage weighs only 5.3kg!

anyway I wanna rant about the cab company! they insisted that I had to leave for the airport 3 hours before my flight! so I was already on the road at 9am for my 11.50am flight! ended up reaching the airport before 10 and I had so much time to kill! >( could have enjoyed the hotel alittle more! like maybe let me snooze for another half an hour. boo.

stoned in the airport as the shopping was relatively boring to me. not my kind of shopping cos all branded stuff. but at least there is free wifi! so at least I could kill time surfing online.

I don't want to be back!

Love is in the air (349/365)


Next year, this will be a very sp4ecial day for me and i'm happily counting down already!!!

What is Love?

Many people will define it as a magical feeling when you meet the one of your dreams.No wonder so many people have problems staying in love.

So what is love ― real, lasting love?

I believe Love is the attachment that results from deeply appreciating another person's goodness. And that includes accepting all things that you don't agree with. I refuse to use the word flaw because it is flawed in your eyes, in your standard, not everyone else.

It is indeed to find a person to love, to stay in love and to maintain the love. I'm glad i found the one.

peace, love, joy

had some time to do some shopping after work today. intended to shop for gifts but didn't find anything appropriate and ended up buying things only for myself!

nonetheless theres festive mood all around the mall with cute snowmen Christmas decorations and many Christmas promotions going around. atrium stalls selling Christmas gifts but all too commercialized and cliche. well it's still a happy season! of peace, love and joy!

have you done your Christmas shopping yet?

Kiddy ride (348/365)


In the past, kiddy ride was a very simple ride. Usually it is shaped like a horse or car and that time, it cost about 20 cents per ride. I remember loving those rides and when they came out with the chair like thingy that can go one round, i really liked that one! just that, that kind of ride usually cost 50 cents or a dollar, and it was counted as expensive then.

nowadays, this is what a kiddy ride look like!! it usually cost 2 bucks or more. Kid's ride are so sophisticated seriously. I see more parents taking pictures with their kids in it, rather than riding it. I miss simple rides. Kids in the past were much simpler, even their rides say so.

one utama shopping mall

the hotel I'm staying is linked to the megamall one utama and it's really huge! another perks of staying at this hotel following my previous post. this photo was taken on the way back to my hotel and is one of the many eateries available at this megamall. well I didn't eat here because there are just too many other choices to choose from! totally spoilt! even before coming here my colleague already gave me a long list of food places to go to.

the shopping here is pretty good too with many shops. from FOS to forever21 to tangs etc. I don't have enough time to finish shopping everything! 5d4n seems like a long time but I realized I barely have much leisure time to do my own stuff! I
guess that's what work trips are about.

I don't feel like going back to Singapore already haha.

one world hotel

this is my first ever work trip and I'm really enjoying the perks of it! putting up in a 5star hotel is something that I never get to do when I travel for leisure since I always go budget!

the fears of staying alone was totally unfounded. everything was really comfortable and liberating! I could really get used to this ;) hot showers, comfy bed, fluffy pillows, good hairdryer, bathrobe, nice smelling body lotion, complimentary laundry service, a sumptuous breakfast buffet spread. this is all so awesome! shall make the most out of the 5d4n here! =)

btw, happy 12.12.12 to you all! well nothing special happened to me today.

Starbucks 1-for-1 (347/365)





To celebrate the 12th day of Christmas, Starbucks came out with this promotion today. 1-for-1 for their Christmas beverage, VENTI SIZE some more! Of course, my colleageu and i grabbed the opportunity. And since it was raining heavily in the afternoon, a hot cuppa of starbucks really warmed our stomach... =)

i love starbucks during their Christmas season. That is because i love their peppermint mocca, which only appear every once a year.

on a side note, today is 12-12-12!

Christmas all around (346/365)


This is indeed our season mans, i was telling my partner of the blog the other day. Red and green. How could we resist taking Christmas-y pictures when they are ALL AROUND???

even in supermarkets, one can find them selling such things and if i have kids, i will really think of buying. or if i am having a party for kids. Everything about Christmas shouts out red and green! In the future, when I have my own place, I will wear a giant christmas socks and hang on the wall. And then i will fill it up with mini gifts. Somehow, Christmas decorations appeal to me alot.

Happy season!

airport staff canteen

not sure if many know about this staff canteen at the airport terminal one. I've been going there for the longest time. mum used to bring us there on weekends to eat the yummy grilled salmon rice! it's still there! but not sure if it's still as nice!

ok ciao! I'm off to my first ever work trip!! :) excited!

Waist Tonic (345/365)


If i wasn't looking for a red picture of the day, this would never have caught my attention and awareness. Like I would be wondering why do we need to give our waist tonic and strengthen it?

Huiji Waist Tonic is made according to an ancient Chinese formula that has been refined through modern scientific research. Made from a traditional recipe, passed down for generations, Huiji Waist Tonic is an excellent health tonic that is mild in nature and fragrant in scent. Huiji Waist Tonic, unlike her competitors, is the only tonic in market, which is 100% vegetarian, with no added alcohol and cane sugar. As such, breastfeeding mums, children above 7 years old and individuals allergic to alcohol can safely enjoy this tonic without worry. Taken daily, the tonic can improve blood circulation, strengthen the body and waist, relieve body-aches and numbness, as well as stimulate the mind. With its host of benefits, Huiji is ideal for the entire family.

Ahh... now we know why.

traveller

if you follow my posts closely, you probably would be able to know me pretty well, my likes and dislikes. there are that few topics that I keep blogging about and one of that being travelling!

well I love travelling and wish I had a job that allows me to travel the world. yah did consider the possibility of applying to be a cabin crew but I don't think I'm cut out to be one. not pretty. not patient, not bimbo enough. my current dream job is to be a travel show host but well, I have no idea how to go about fulfilling it. maybe a miracle might happen when I wake up one day and i land myself in this job *dreams*

I've been wanting to start a travel blog for the longest time but well as with all of stuff, I'm always lazy! and I procrastinate. hmm maybe after project 365 ceases, I shall consider!

Mr Wang Wang (344/365)


If you are familiar with him much, you are probably in the same generation as i am. In my younger days, i adore him. i love his biscuits. all his products. That time, Mr Wang Wang was still simple, just a few kinds of biscuits. But gradually, he came out with more products, such as the milk that you see above. And then they lose me. Yes, i don't like milk so when i see he has milk products, i also sian half.

anyway, i don't know if the kids now know him or even like his products.

cmpb again!

we headed to cmpb again today, specially for the band playing there! we really like the singer after our first time there a few months back. so after checking that she still sings there, we headed back there tonight!

a rowdy group probably having their company's Christmas dinner at the venue almost ruined the night for us. they were so noisy and uncultured, totally spoiling the atmosphere of the place!

so glad they left in the middle of the 2nd set! peace at last! and as expected, the band didnt disappoint! I really like them! :) Amanda's got a really unique voice! but we were a little upset she didn't sing our dedication of skinny love! oh wells.

nonetheless a great night out with my girls!

year end festive

so it's that time of the year again. the happy year end season is here! and like what my partner says, this is the season for us! red and green is the theme for this season!!

so enjoy the festive people!

Asquare Kitchen (343/365)


A local fusion bistro that the boy and i popped into on a saturday night. i do love exploring such quirky small cosy bistros with the boy, but we were a tad overdressed that day and i much rather eat at some slightly more atas place. And furthermore, the choices of this bistro was limited and they cooked their food only when we order so they took quite a bit of time. I wasn't too patient with it because when i pooped in the this place, i was really hungry already.

But still, a good night out.

Diva's BFF series (342/365)


While helping the boy buy his office Christmas Exchange gift, i noticed Diva has a BFF series. Like necklaces that come in twos. One for each best buds. Among all, i liked this but the partner of this blog says she don't. Oh well, we have very different taste to begin with. I just thought that it is cool to have a best bud kind of accessories, instead of the normal couple kind.

yes, i'm that easily sold sometimes.

Milk Sippy

during a random cold storage shopping trip, my sister and I chanced upon this product. it's like a choc-filled straw. so use it to drink your milk or milo or whatever beverage through this straw, the chocolate will dissolve in the beverage as you sip it up the straw.

well my greedy sister likes this kind of snacks so we bought it to try. it's not bad and I think it's pretty novel. I'm sure little kids will love this!
