Turning 3-0
Monday, April 11, 2011 |12:35 AM

2011 marks the year of many new beginnings. I kicked off the year with a change in career path. Was in auditing for a good 6 years, move on to commercial accounting for another 2 years and now-->Recruitment which is sales. So far so good just that there were hiccups here and there and I must admint that during the 1st month, the thought of "Did I make a right move" kept ringing in my mind. The next big thing for me was going for my 1st trip of the year - Bali (4 days 3 nights) which was planned long ago in July 2010 and before I could close my eyes, the bells for the big 3-0 rang before my eyes. The plan was to have a big celebration. (ie. having a pink party or even a hello kitty party) but none of these took place. Just simple celebrations with people who are in my life and tons of well wishes.

So does turning 30 makes me feel older?

Looking at my pink IC, I can't deny that its the real thing. Staring into the mirror, though I don't think I look 30, but I can't help but feel older. (It's like somehow, I am at another phase of my life). I do wish I could turn back the clock but I do know that the more important thing is to age graciously and wisely.

Key things in this decade? To be able to establish myself in my field of work and of course to marry off. :)

Lovely flowers from 2 important people in my life.

Who can miss out the Hello Kitty Balloon?

Hello Kitty seeking attention in the office.

My favourite flowers. Sunflowers are cheery but the thing is, it can't last

See the Tiara? Champange white & pink ones as well.

See the soft toy tied to it? The flowers really brighten up the stressful atmosphere in the office.

"meh meh" sheep..

Colleagues celebrated my birthday for me as well. Cake is from Royals.

Usual Tradition - Making a wish.

Removing the candles and cutting the cake

See? Even my present wrapper is Hello Kitty.

Carefully unwrapping so that I won't destroy the nice wrapper.

I finally got a cushion!

super nice and attas biscuits from colleagues - InC Team

~yum yum~


Present given by colleagues from the SOT Team

Mac makeup from my team manager

After the celebration in the office, I headed to meet Joel  & the rest of the cg for the celebration. (in fact i already knew that the people in the cg will be present because joel accidentally send the wrong message to me :p). Joel arranged the dinner at this place which all of us haven't been before. Food is good. Price is reasonable. Ambience - Great coz it's cosy. If I didn't remember wrongly, its called Hob Nob Cafe Bar.

appreciate this chocolate cake.

Cream of Shitake Mushroom Soup - recommended by joel and the lady boss. soup isn't thick but it still tastes good

Chicken cutlet spaghetti with cream sauce

30th with the cg.

Gift from the cg

Hob Nob Cafe Bar is located at:
545 Orchard Road #03-18/19
Far East Shopping Centre.

After the celebration that night, I headed home for a simple cake cutting with my family. Ling bought a cake from Royals as well. My favourite flavour - chocolate.

Presents from everyone

People come and go. Friends fall in and out of the definition. But true relationships are closer to heart and there's no need to quantity. Just quality...




Bali Getaway - 17022011 to 20022011 (Part 2 of 2)
|12:35 AM

I'm back with the finale of my Bali trip...I realise the thing about holidays is that we always look forward to it but the days ahead usually seem so long..but when we are at the holiday itself..time seems to just fly past..same goes for my bali trip..in a "blink" of my eye..its's already Day 3! We had a new tour guide for the day who was more experienced and more engaging as well. The best part is that we gave him a new name --> 小色狼 and he loves the name.

Day 3 started off with us heading the the Nusa Dua beach whereby all the watersports takes place. Beware, prices aren't very cheap and its calculated in USD. So remember to bring more cash if you wanna head there and engage in a variety of watersports. I actually played the Jetski while Jingyi and Liyi went snorkerling.


some japanese tourists preparing for the para-sailing.

Up they went! It looks very fun but i realised that it was only like a 5 min thrill.

Some other people were preparing for another kind of watersport. can't remember what is this called.

while waiting for the girls to come back from their snorkerling, i saw this cute little girl so just snap a photo of her.


Jingyi and Liyi after their snorkeling. Apparently, Jingyi vomitted all her breakfast and drank alot of seawater. haha. Thank God i chose Jetski.

Next up, we headed to this place whereby we can see monkeys. Apparently, the monkeys there are very naughty and if you wear sunglasses they will come and snatch it and crush it. Therefore, for safety sake, even though it was sweltering hot..we didn't wear our sunglasses. 



Indian Ocean..





Are you in awe at the amazing sight?

the monkeys getting ready to make out.

Lunch was next and we headed to somewhere near the surfer's town. Seriously, I can't remember where it is located but the scenary is breath-taking...


Nice? I told you so.

While waiting for our lunch..The ang moh behind me looks quite cute in fact.

真迷人的风景

我的午餐

After lunch, Liyi and I decided to take a walk around the area to explore further and we found super nice hot spots.

clear blue water.nothing like this can be seen in singapore.

a surfer swimming out.


What a sight! So many surfers..*drools*

Next destination was Parang Parang Beach. Anyone heard of this beach? This ain't a very popular beach. But for anyone who have watched the show -> eat.pray.love this beach is the one whereby the show was filmed.

"To the beach"



Parang Parang Beach. Meiz was here on 19.02.2011.

Our next destination after Parang Parang beach was another beach as well. Called the Dreamland Beach. A very popular one..But before we got there, we passed by this place and our tour guide told us to get down to take some photos. (It seems like our tour guide loves to take photo of us!)




Till now, I still don't know what statue this is. But anyone know, please do tell me.


Dreamland beach is much more populated than Parang Parang Beach..They provide massage services there as well. Very relaxing..But hor..the suntan chairs there need to rent one.

Our final destination for Day 3 was Dinner at Jimbaran Beach. Seafood Dinner while watching the sunset. So romantic..but not with the right person. Haiz..never mind.

















Happy Liyi

Happy Happy Jingyi

Happy me!





好浪漫的一刻。

We really enjoyed our 2 days sightseeing at Bali. Thanks to Bali Explore Tours for their hospitality! For people who are looking for Land Tours..Do consider Bali Explore Tours. Their website can be found at http://www.baliexploretours.com/. Do contact Dewa for more details.

After a long day of exploration, Liyi had craving for some sweet stuff and we went to Cafe Bar which was near our Villa for some desserts.






Our desserts at Cafe Bar. Rewarding ourselves after 2 long days of walking.

Day 4 arrived...we slept till quite late because there wasn't much planned on the schedule except for massage. The 3 of us couldn't bear to say byebye to Bali..and wished that we will be back soon. Just before we checked out of our villa, we were camera whoring.



Robey the 笨狗. But he's damn cute.

Pasta never goes wrong @ Bali. Settled our lunch at Trattoria, Seminyak.

Our last destination for our Bali trip was for some relaxing massage. Thanks to Bali Explore Tours, they introduce a very good massage place. Very conducive and clean. Our massage was at Bali Orchid Spa. (www.baliorchidspa.com)

That was the end of our 4 day 3 nights Bali tour. Now I am keeping my fingers crossed-  when will I be able to go back there?
