Singapore in February

-
Sunny. Bright. Fast moving. 

Singapore has a different lifestyle than KL. It gives me a new perspective to life. People are always on the road walking and taking trains. Big trees are everywhere which make it so cosy as compared to KL. Tho I've been here a few times, but this visit is totally different than before. I discovered from one of the taxi driver that the property price is way higher than KL. The old man taxi driver was thinking to liquidate his property and move to Malaysia. It makes me feel so lucky to own one. So yes, there's pros and cons between KL and Singapore. 

Now that I'm back home, I miss the smell of carnation as I walk through the hotel lobby... 


Looking at other people in shorts and camera just makes me jealous. Wish I'm actually on vacation. Luckily. Starbucks is everywhere and always makes me feel at home. 

I miss PS Cafe too... 



Getting ready to shop....with comfy outfit.

Yey....Shopping time!

Rows of old shops with vibrant colors make it so unique at Arab Street. 


This is a 24 hours Starbucks. So many people hang out at this outlet. I like to see their reaction. Do you think you can tell what are they talking about or what are they doing? :)

Orchard road at night....

As I told you in earlier post, I was busy working from Singapore office. We are so lucky have a beach view from our working room. Whenever we are stress, we just look out the window. Imagining we are sitting by the beach. Reading magazine. Feeling the beach breeze. Love this room! Btw... the message in the picture is broaden your frame of mind... and not broaden your frame of men! haha.. 

I was surprise that my boss decided to bring us out on a cruise for team outing... thanks boss. But I have important meeting tomorrow!!! *faint*

None of the Singaporean in my team tried this cruise before. As usual, this is a very tourist thing. Everyone so excited to get their boarding pass.



Admiral Cheng Ho Harbour Cruise...it will take us to Kusu Island. Where is that? You can read it here.





Here we are at Kusu Island (Tortuise Island in chinese)






There's 152 steps... we counted it. No! I googled it. Haha.

Can you see... I'm sweating and tired after the hard work of climbing the 152 steps. I'm carrying a heavy backpack + laptop. That a big time exercise!

At the end of the day... we need to know how to balance out our work and fun life. Don't be so stress out with work. There's always deadlines, meetings and deliverable. You can never run away from it but... you should not let go of your personal time and enjoy the outing! Cheers!

Weekly dose @ PS Cafe (Singapore)

When everyone are enjoying long weekend in Kuala Lumpur, I had to get up early on a Sunday. But no complain cause I am flying to the city of Lion, Singapore. Well, i'm in Singapore for a week for work. It is going to be a busy week... and yet i am taking a few minutes... to post my updates. Had my lunch at PS Cafe, Palais @ Orchard Road . The ambiance is so welcoming and I can picture myself enjoying my cuppa coffee and the dessert. I was so full from my lunch and no space for dessert this time. Maybe I will make another trip before going back to KL. I love the interior so much, especially the tiles! I will post more pics next time. I only have pics from my BB now. I have a big mission this time..... to look for a handmade carpet from uncle shop (not my uncle ok!) at Arab St. This shop has all the lovely items from India. Nadia's fav item is the silk scarves. She even ordered a few...as usual. I dragged my colleague to follow me to shop before we go out for dinner

A new beginning

Every December, I will look back at my new year’s resolution. I didn’t manage to achieve all 2011 resolutions but at least more than half from the list. Being an optimistic person, I am thinking to shorten the list for this year. But does it really matter if you achieve 10% or 100% of your goals by December 2012? To me, what matter the most is the journey. Don’t worry if you keep on repeating the same resolution for 5 years down the road. Most importantly, how those goals actually transformed you to be a better person. Today, while watching 500 days of summer, I was actually thinking how to spice up my life… Not that I’m not happy with it but my brain just don’t know how to rest. As usual, I ask my best friend, what should I do to give some new colors in my life? She suggested for me to write a blog. I’ve been thinking about it for years but I just don’t have the courage to share my words and thoughts with strangers. After few minutes discussing with my best friend cum my consu

Finally.. A tick for Istanbul

I can't remember exactly how many years ago.. maybe 4 or 5, made a plan with Nadia to visit Istanbul. We wanted to explore and understand Turkish life not as a tourist but as a traveler or even better as local. But the plan got postponed year after year..  Finally, my time for Istanbul come earlier than Nadia, and December 2012 is month where i'm fated to be in the grand Blue Mosque, understand the history of Ayasofya, drink Turkish tea and enjoy Apple tea, and most importantly, make new turkish friends. So I was there with my sisters during winter season. What to expect other than windy days. And the colors are  so dull. I'm not black, white and brown kind of person. More of pink, yellow, orange, purple, blue, and green. Haha.. yes. bringht and bold. That's me.  Great, it was raining as we walk out from the Ataturk airport. So I quick make my prayer to God, "God,  please stop the rain. I want to walk out and enjoy my first day in Istanbul". Then w
