Orchard Road flooded!

For the 1st time ever! Or rather, 1st time in my life I have seen Orchard Road flooded! The water were knee-high and it was from a major downpour since wee hours in the morning! Friends were super excited on Facebook! Everyone was posting images and videos of the flooded Orchard road!

Here are some pictures I took from Facebook!

Hermés at Liat Towers!
Any damaged Birkin bags?!?!

Starbucks, Wendy's and Massimo Dutti were all submerged in muddy waters!

Check out the video posted by Shi Ying's friend here!

I am considering to go take a look myself after work later!!!! Heeheehee!

Boring weekend ahead!

It's Friday and I am not excited!

The cause of my boring weekend - PC Show! Every 3 months, I have to suffer a boring weekend due to an IT-related kind of show. Boo were required to assist in all the different shows that usually spread across 1 weekend in the following months - March, June, September and December. So, if it's not the IT show in March, then is the PC Show in June, if not it'll be COMEX in Sept or eventually, SITEX in December. So predictable.

Boring, boring, boring.

Told Shiying that I should probably start planning for my wedding this weekend since I will be so free! But I think highly unlikely I'll get anything done! Just so not inspired today to start thinking what shall I do! Although I wrote on my wedding blog that I am in a current "information-overload" state-of-mind! Hahaha! I think maybe that's why I stop thinking already!!!!! Hahahaha!

I know what to do when I am absolutely bored! Shall look at this video I took of Boo last weekend! He and his atrocious Korean! Hahaha! Cracks me up every time I watch it! Wahahaha!

Watch Mr. Boo and his weird-accented Korean!
Hehehehe!

Sweet Daddy

I was checking my email this morning when a picture of a cute little girl at the bottom of Nylon Mag's e-mailer caught my attention. She is a blond long hair girl, about 4 or 5 years old, wearing her PJ and saluting while in front of her was a plate with something that resembled the American flag. A closer look at the little thumbnail and text, the "American flag" was actually a pancake! I had to check it out!This father Jim is really such a great father! Making very cool and interesting pancakes for his daughter, Allie, which is such a cutie!!! Here are some really cool ones I like!

Jim's cute daughter, Allie!

This was the picture that caught my attention!

How funny looking can the Alien get?

How can anyone make a 3D pancake?!
I'm amazed!

Hahahaha! Pancake-tasting Taco! Nice!
Like Playdoh which you can eat!

This is totally AWESOME!!!
Make a bridge and eat it?!
How good can it get?!?!?! Hahaha!

It sets me thinking after looking at the devotion of Jim to his daughter, Allie.... It's really quite something for fathers to spend time in the kitchen to whip out cool breakfast for their children!
It's really not a culture in our Asian society for men to do something like that. I do think that are a few out there but not many. It's a job more women are willing to take up.

Asian guys are preoccupied with making more money for the family. It's been like that for the past few decades or even centuries! Usually, as I see it, the way of showing concern is mainly by providing more money so that the family can have a comfortable life. It's really not a bad thing I say. Who doesn't need money? The only 1 thing that we can't get enough of besides Love, of course!

The route has never been easy.

The route to earning more comes with a price to pay. Usually the children gets neglected in some families. In some cases, the fathers will be too tired on the rest day to want to do something for their children. And making something for the kids; in this case, cooking; the usual male counterparts will gladly pass the job to their wives! It's another Asian stereotype that the kitchen belong to the women only!

Of course I don't mean ALL fathers. I am sure there are exceptions out there. I just hope there will be more!

To all the fathers out there, do something for your little darlings today!

Merry Christmas...............

It's Christmas eve and I am all alone.

Well, not really alone since Regina is here in the office with me too.

I'm still feeling pissed about the fact that Casper's colleague actually planned their company Christmas dinner on Christmas eve. It's Christmas eve! Most people are celebrating Christmas eve with their loved ones! Who wanna spend Christmas with a bunch of people you probably love to hate? I mean, seriously, how many colleagues do you not like?! I'm being truthful here!

I was giving Casper a hard time just now over the phone. Initially, I was fine but the more I thought of it and the more people sympathize with me, the more pissed off I got! Argh! I know he doesn't have a choice but he seemed quite happy that he will be going to the ktv with his colleagues after the dinner. He also claimed that the rest of his colleagues' spouse or other half is totally cool about the company dinner happening on Christmas eve! So now I'm the imbalanced one ya! I don't believe!

The fact that I'm going to Taiwan in another 5 days time didn't cheer me up either. So it sets me thinking, it's just another day, why am I feeling so uptight? I seriously doesn't know the answer myself too. Blame it on the stereotypes!

Oh well......

I should stay positive! I hope my next Christmas eve will be a fruitful one.

Me, at my neighbour's house when I was 3.

Me, now.

Dearest friends, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! ♥

I'm back!!!

Ahhh... Alot of friends had been asking me about my blog! It has been dead for nearly half a year!

Hear my explanation!!!

I'm really too busy!!! (I know you'd probably be rolling your eyes now cos it's really a very lousy excuse! But hello! I have a day job ok! Huhu...)

OK, so here are the reasons why I had failed to maintain my blog!

1. My 30th birthday party!

The whole of June and 1st week of July, I had been super busy with planning my party and did I mention I hand-made most of the decorations and my super cute invites?! That period I was staying up late folding paper boats, cutting little cartoons of myself!

2. Work

Work was super piled up! I had to design the Spring Summer 2010 collections, coordinate photo shoots(4!), do touch-ups for the models (close to 100 images!!!) and liase for a website for PC!!!

3. Travel

In October, my team and I finally made the Europe trip! It has been in the talks for almost 3 years already! So, we did finally made it to Barcelona, London and Paris for about 10 days! It has been 4 years since I've stepped foot on European soil! Honestly, I was dreading the entire trip at first! I really hated the way we Asians were treated there! I hated the food especially the cold hard bread rolls and endless meals of pastas, pastas and more pastas! That seems to be the only food we knew how to order! Haha! Ok, more about the trip later!

4. Facebook and iPhone

Hehe... Guilty as charged! I'm on facebook everyday now! Especially when I started owning my iPhone in September! All I have to do is to go home, on my wireless modem and touch the facebook app and I'm connected to everyone! My desktop is collecting dust on top of my table now! Haha! Maybe blogspot should have an app for blogging so I can start blogging more(excuses!!!)!

There you have it! My good reasons(uh-hm!) why I fail to blog!!! Heehee!

I will try to blog as frequent as I can since I can now use my phone to blog as well! How fun!

Ps. This entire entry were written on the MRT! Yes, on my beloved 小白2! (for those who doesn't know yet, 小白2 is the name of my phone!)
