Spice Market, and a quickie breakie.

Tonight I took a break from all the hustle bustle and went for buffet dinner in Spice Market Rasa Sayang.

I didn’t take any photos of the food because…….I don’t have a camera. YA I KNOW you must be asking why la for 6 months I lost my camera charger in Santa Clara why I haven’t get a new one. I also don’t know why haha. No money la I think.

#1 Kevin and Vsoon at the entrance.

Food’s okay. Choice is pretty limited though but for every single dish, it’s pretty good. For me, I only took like a couple of pieces of chicken in whatever flavour I can find, a bit of Fried Rice, 2 Chicken Satay then whoala…..I’m full! Ya i know wasted la 80 bucks like that but what to do.

We took a walk all around Rasa Sayang hotel. It’s like my first time visiting since it was renovated 2 years ago. The night’s pretty warm though I can hear the waves but I can’t feel the sea breeze. Makes me want to jump into the sea straightaway. I miss midnight sea swimming!!!!!!!!! I used to do that so often back in Johor ya what do you know damn fun okay if you think there’s sea ghost then please la no such thing.

#2 Me in front of some hotel deco.

#3 Kevin and moi in front of some hotel deco again during the stroll around the whole hotel.

#4 Me with a….golden tree? in hotel second lounge

#5 I accidentally discovered JiaYang is gay.

#6 JiaYang, Kevin and VSoon. The fat yellow guy in the middle used to weigh 40kg. Look what 3 years can do to a person.

The long drive to the hotel is horrible. But it was all worth it though. I love the beach!!!..at least until I discovered how much I hate the sun more haha. So i suggested to the guys that we should do some beach picnic and go swimming maybe next week and everyone IGNORED me…until I say I’m going to wear bikini then they say OKOK SURE NO PROBLEM WHEN

-_-”

#7 Me entertaining myself while VSoon checking whether his pears are still fresh.

And do you all miss my shameless camwhore photos haha

#8 nah give you one.

Not enough?

#9 nah last one.

If you’re wondering why I’m so free blogging and posting photos then NO! I’m not wasting time. I’m just doing it because I’m giving myself a 5 minutes break from whatever I’m doing before I continue.

Oh before I logoff, next week I’m having farewell dinner with everyone =( So sad. But I have hometown to look forward to, and then trips trips and more trips?

Ok..now I have to continue whatever I was doing just now haha. OkThxBye.

Moooooooncake

BUSY

haha that explains all.

i barely have time to sit down and shit. No, i barely have time to even fart. So many things to do before end of september. I have to sit for the paper. I have to complete all the remaining work and do my work passdown to the new guy before I leave.  Then I have to pack my cube. Then I’m going down to Malacca a few days with a couple of friends before I head back to Sgt. 

Phewww…Then i’ll have some more time to blog and post more decent photos.

Before that, let me give you another set of BACKDATED photos which have extremely bad quality haha. Sorry me no camera!

Mooncake Festival. I couldn’t go home so a few of us who stayed back in the Island gathered and did a barbeque. It was sort of a last minute decision. We just went for lunch in Secret Recipe and went to Jusco and grab everything in like less than 30 minutes. 

chicken wing, sausage, meatball, chickenball, meatball, ham, honey bbq marinade sauce, butter, longan, the grill, barbeque skewers, charcoal, paper cups and plates, ice.

phewwww….that’s a lot to get in less than an hour.

We had a hard time setting up the fire cause the wind is unbelievably BIG.

I didn’t do anything actually. I just stood at the side and watch.

My job is supposed to stand at the side and block the wind. But i failed terribly haha.

The first batch of food. hmph. Doesn’t look really good at all. We were so hungry everyone try to fit as many sausages as we could on 1 skewer hahaha SUPER KIASU can!

And in the end we discovered that by wrapping all the chicken wings into the aluminium foil and throwing it in the grill is a lot easier because we don’t have to hold the skewer and stand there. Besides it taste better too!

All of us gathered around while VSoon tried to unwrap the foil. Waiting impatiently to see the end result eheh.

Everyone is happy with our great discovery!

Lucky us the weather was just nice because it drizzled a bit and it was pretty cooling. Shu bought a few lanterns which we tried to light up and hang all around. 

In the end we only could light up 2 lanterns cause the wind is too big. =(

We then head up to FatBoySlim’s place and hang out. 

hahah no la hang out for me doesn’t always mean mahjong. I haven’t played mahjong for a long long long time like since I came back from the US last winter I only played like less than 5 times =(

Oh we also bought lian yong mooncakes, which everyone finished in less than 5 minutes haha it was just 2.5 hours after our barbeque and everyone is hungry already.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I purposely didn’t want to buy any mooncake for myself even though I was sort of craving for it esp the Shanghai mooncake (the type where it’s crispy at the outer layer not the soft type u know what i mean?) because it’s so expensive. almost 10 bucks per mooncake! So being the stingy self, I waited until the festival is over, cleverly thinking that when the festival is over, they will reduce the price for all the mooncakes.

I happily thought I could eat the same mooncake that all of you ate but at half of the price! Clever right? hohohohoh………

Turns out all the mooncakes are sold out in all the stores the next day T___________________________T

I went out to fill my gas tank.

Let me tell you what happen.

There’s this afternoon when I was extremely tired, very super duper tired, so tired I can hardly lift my fingers, so tired I can’t walk, so tired I can’t breathe… okok you get the idea.

But my car gas tank is EMPTY and the red warning light has been blinking for a few weeks already. It’s practically going to dry off any minute. I didn’t want to wait until the next day to fill the tank because it would be really really jam in the morning.

So even though I was tired I still manage to drive out to the nearest gas station. I forgot to bring out my credit card. So I went to the cashier, paid 100 dollars. 

didadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadida

Everything settled and I drove home. When I reach home, I saw the red light still blinking and I thought to myself “hmm tomorrow need to fill the tank already”

“Wait.” 

“I thought I just went out to fill the tank?”

=(

Turns out I went out to gas station, paid 100 dollars, walked back to my car and drove off. WITHOUT LIFTING THE NOZZLE AND FILLING THE TANK.

WHY OH WHY TELL ME WHY I’M SO ABSENT-MINDED! I PAID BUT DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND DROVE HOME T____________________T

Why am I like that?

Happy Birthday CrazyRibby

Super BACKDATED photos.

We celebrated Kevin’s birthday in this new place called Sire Museum Restaurant. It’s actually owned by the grandsons of Yeap Chor Ee. The dining place is pretty small. Most of the building are occupied by decorations. More like selling environment more than food though.

We didn’t have a camera so just snapped a few photos with HY’s iPhone. They don’t allow us to take photos of the decorations, just the dining area. The next time I go I’m going to secretly take the photos don’t care.

the back part of the building has all the wooden chairs and paintings. It’s freaking big though no kidding.

The best food that night is the Garlic Bread with Cheese haha. But we’re too hungry we wallop everything. No time for photos.

My pan fried Red Snapper.

Me. Sigh look at my eye bags so big. That day was a bad day for me T_________T

Scrap that unhappy thought.

Most of us. Photo quality very bad sorry.

Me and Kevin with our desserts. Baked Cheese is normal and Rich Walnut Brownie which is freaking good. The warm brownies and the chocolate ice cream. yummyyyyyyy

Ah no more photos.

And now i’m freaking hungry. I want to have something SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET NOWWWWWWWWW. Stupid Kevin where is my free birthday meal!!!!??!!!??!!!

I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to.

For a period of time, I’ve been living in my own happy dreamland. At times like these, when you’re too comfortable in the nest, reality tends to jump right back in and bite you at the back.  

I’m still alive and kicking. Don’t worry.

To be honest, I’m no saint so I allowed myself to have a few hours of downtime, and a couple days of time out. Afterall, it’s better to have a bleeding heart than a hard heart. That’s all. That’s how long I took.  and then I’m back! All happy and bouncy.

Why should I still be sad? I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. I’ve been nothing but respectful and honour everything that was there. But all that I get in return, is this. But if this is the way things must always turn out to be, then so be it. I just did things as I wanted to, innocently, whole-heartedly. 

My friend asked me why am I not angry.

I’m really not. It’s true they lied right in my face. It’s true this is not the 1st time. But if they feel comfortable with that, tell me, why should I waste time feeling angry over people who doesn’t have the decency to say thank you for a birthday gift?  These people are not bad people. They’re just people who think I’m not worthy of their time. It’s okay. I believe there’s plenty more people who would appreciate me more than them even though I might not be perfect =)

Besides, I’ve been going out so often that I hardly had time to stay home, let alone think about everything that has happened.

Occasionally though, the snippets of memory tends to crawl back and I can almost taste the bitterness. It’s awful. But I can deal with that =) because I have a whole lot of things to look forward to.

Oh by the way, flight tickets finally booked! US here I come hohohohoho I heart in-flight meals hohohoho first thing I’m going to eat when I reach. Cupcakes! I’ve been tempted with these photos for far tooo looooong. It’s time to eat it for myself!!!!! =D

see this. My friend photoshopped my photo until doesn’t look like me at all.

And this one. WORSE. Remember my perfectly photoshopped self *click*? My friend emailed me this one. He say this photo is nicest this way. Thanks Nick T___________T

He said “Spent a few hours redoing and redoing until in the end I had a flash going across my head and I knew how to improve this picture tremendously. I am sure you will like my final product.”

It’s a pity.

I want to feel nothing. I lost my ability to write in my attempt to feel nothing.

Today, I woke up feeling just like any other day. I’m writing today because I learnt a lesson that I want to remember. I was reintroduced to a whole new meaning of acceptance, loss, forgiveness and trust.

Forgiveness should never come too easily.

When people say sorry for the things they did, they don’t actually really feel sorry. They’re just sorry because they didn’t hurt you enough the last time, and they need to do it the second time, trying to push your limits. I also learnt that some people can go to a level low enough that you won’t even believe any human being is capable of.

I trust people. I don’t blame myself for that. I didn’t do anything wrong. I believed every single word that was blurted out to me. I wanted to believe the world is way nicer than everyone described it to be. Nobody is to blame. It’s just the cycle of life.

If you’re wondering why I wasn’t writing angry posts to condemn anyone, or sad posts to make everyone sympathize with me, then I’m way grown that you think I am. I just need to believe that I can’t change everything, and I just need to learn and move on.

I was finally transformed into a a true blue woman, incapable of trust with a whole new invisible shield built around me.

Now,

I feel nothing.
