Stuck in Neverneverland

The World Is AWsome
not Discovery style. no spelling mistakes either.

Recent world news are awful.

With the headlines all over, the layman gets familiar with THE Lehman; sees Merrill Lynch more than Meryl Streep; hears AIA, goes wah lau eh; approaches Fed Reserve and begs rescue lei.

Honestly, I'm a finance idiot. It doesnt concern me as much as I feel for the food scandals from the veteran war rivals. Right, so now you are on the same front, finally.

When Flo mentioned couple of months back she's sworn off all china-made cosmetic products, I had brushed it off with a Haha. Now my heart cringes with the daily reports of those ill-fated babies.

I wonder now if my LS habit has anything to do with that Meng3Niu2 Pumpkin bought. TMDKNSKNsquareBCsquareBPUI. I swear too.

Does anyone still wish to ask why I have so many things to blog about?

Was in Padang 2 weeks back for the first time. Beautiful. Reminded me a lot of Chiangmai with the similar mountain backdrop at the airport. No matter where the road turned, you can almost never miss a peek at the mountains. awesome.

While on the flight back to Jakarta, I caught sight of the above. It's a Volcano right?? Spewing smoke?? those aint the clouds i swear, they were floating OUT from the hole. INCREDIBILE.

someone identify for me? Shyan! Mr Coot! you are needed!

Dropped by Super Indo in Surabaya and stocked up on my Hello Panda. Guess how many kinds i bought? ;)


Did the usual creambath in my fav Johnny Andrean. tot the Nun look was quite cool. hah.

shit, now i start to wonder who my blog readers are exactly..

Mind-Boggling Road Signs in Hanoi

Had lunch with an alumni and he brought me around town on motorbike. I am so glad he did coz I caught sights of the below very special road signs I never paid attention to! And thankfully to the organised chaos (cite source: Yeye) we were able to stop for me to take a pic whenever I wish. ;)

T-junction

X-junction

Signal for Traffic Light? Duh.


No Traffic Light?

School Zone


I-Gotta-Cross-The-Road?

Now, the below 3 are the ultimate. They mean the same thing - Pedestrian Crossing - but can you spot the hilarity from their differences? ;)

My alumni said: They are done by different artists. HAHA

Hanoi Pics - Siao's cam.

resto by Hoan Kiem Lake

woot!

my favourite eatery for Bun Cha! u guys were damn lucky got me to bring u lor! Welcome!

one of the rare moments with 4 in the pic. On the car to Halong Bay!

lots of gossipping as usual! :P

Siao n I were bored.
Siao: Journey to the West!

Lunch was yummy!

Yeye: Where's that damn mosquito?

Pika: I just ate it. damn.



picture perfect!

Looks like scenes from Red Cliff hor

Master Wu Gui!

An Era Gone..

without me noticing. I have been such a hermit. Only recently did i realise the era of Pete Sampras and Roger Federer - maybe not quite for him - have crept by in silence. was in silence at least to Hermit Chub.

And so the new No. 1 is this cute chap Rafael Nadal. eye-candy. woot.

And the 2 young guns Del Potro and Andy Murray. 19? 21? gawd, they gotta call me jiejie when they see me! in my dreams. woot woot.

Djokovic aint that dashing - maybe it's his hair - but his determinance to go after every single ball - and thereby twisting this foot and that back - strikes me. Men hard at work are always charming. woot woot woot.

Can I still vote Federer for US Open Grand Slam? wee wee!

for SOMEONE to remember.

I want to hold my solemnization in Hall. The MPSH will be a good choice. Spacious, air-conditioned and if i feel like it can add in the lighting effects. :P After all there is the CMB concert experience to my credit!

After that, we'll all go Comm Hall for a small buffet reception. Wonder if Uncle Vincent will be able to cook for us? Best, we'll simulate a 'tap-a-card, get-a-meal' - That will be so nostalgic!

Then we'll take photos around hall. My room. His room. Rooftop. Maybe Master's big balcony too? :P

Wonder how much it'll cost to get the officer down to Hall though. hmm.

Hee.

What will you do if you have a lot of time on hand?

if I have this long long break, I will most probably:

1. Blog every week.
2. No, Blog every day.
3. Scratch the above - Blog every hour.
4. Ask myself why I have so many things to blog about.
5. Ask myself why i bother asking myself why I have so many things to blog about.
6. Organise my photos into folders.
7. Re-organise my photos into sub-folders.
8. Develop those I know I will cry if my computer crashes and I don't have a hardcopy of.
9. Ponder again and decide to develop all photos as I think I will cry anyway for whichever photo is gone. I'm that emo. I know.
10. Think about what I'll do for that long long break.

Came and Gone.

my friends have proven to be the remedy for Cal's Overseas Loneliness Disease- aka COLD.

Pika, yeye and siao came to join me for 4 days in Hanoi. we had lots of fun this time, especially since it was over a weekend and public hols here and i had nothing much to do for work and was able to be with them 83.33333% of the time!

finally went to Halong Bay, yay! Suami n Ms Feng found it hot and boring previously. I guess we were luckier this time as The One up there obviously took a special liking to this noisy and fun-loving group of 4 and had neither a thunderstorm ( as Siao so firmly attests there will be) nor Mr Strong Sunshine.

lots of photos. Siao say will burn CD for me. Pika's will be uploaded after his Jap exams. cant wait for them. thanks for the company guys! I love u!

everytime someone joins me and leave, i'll feel extra down on the day they left or the day the fact that he/she's gone sinks in.. withdrawal syndrome. bleah.

LS today. could be the crab i had in Colleague T's house yesterday. was ngon tho!

Another Happy Ending

It was JCpal's wedding. and i found myself sniffing again. I will need a basin when my darlings' turns come! Bliss forever pal!

Suami smsed me. I teared. Love you!!!!!!!!!
