Favourite Quotes
A reminder in life
to appreciate things that
you have, not grouse
about what you don't have

Love is magical.
Its a language the deaf can hear
a song the crippled can dance to
and a sunset that the blind can see


There is nothing in the world that love can't conquer


Money can buy many fine things, but love, peace, and happiness are the most precious treasures to be found


To show someone that you love them,give them you time


Great man are not born great. God uses troubles and trials to make them great


When someone has wronged you, repay them with forgiveness and it will be remembered forever


When you feel like giving up, hold on just a little longer


The secret to happiness is being content with what you have


The tongue is a sword or a magic wand: it can cut and kill or love and heal


Life is a journey, heaven is a destination


Those who live unselfishly are those who have a life that's most worth living

It's not as difficult to apologize as it is to live with a guilty conscience


A word of encouragement is as refreshing as a cold drink on a hot summer day


Happiness comes from within your heart, not from your surroundings


It's not always what you say that makes the difference; somestimes its the way you say it


It's how you handle your problems and troubles that counts, not the trouble themselves


Hatred in our hearts causes our enemies to triumph over us. Forgiveness causes us to triumph over them


Love is the essence of everything beautiful, the force behind everything wonderful


If something bad happens to you, think of all the things that didnt happen. Things could have been worse


A working man must not forget the art of playing, lest he lose the energy and inspiration needed for his work


Optimism is not the result of blinding oneself to problems, but of always believing there is a solution


Knowledge is a collection of facts. Wisdom is knowing how to apply knowledge


Love is the ability to see beyond the faults of another and to discover the beauties of his or her heart


Whether you suceed or fail is not as important as whether you do your best


You may not be able to choose you lot in life, but you can choose how to handle your lot


Be thankful for what you have,not sad about what you don't have


Be part of the solution, not part of the problem


Great souls are often those who have undergone great sorrows but have refused to give up


Love and trust are inseparable. You can't have one without the other

Second Bangkok Trip this year, supposedly florence, fulvia and I planned to travel together. but florence REALLY put our aeroplane!!! she told us that she is not going to bangkok with us on the very day that we are scheduled to fly to bangkok... Fulvia and I were so shock...

But we can't really blame florence, as she fell sick.. Thus, it was jus me and fulvia... Actually i got quite tired of posting pictures of me going to bangkok...The pictures are actually about the same... since i keep going to bangkok... Bangkok is my Orchard Road... I love shopping in Bangkok!
Me and Fulvia on Swiss Air.. As there wasnt any promo on the budget tickets... We decided to pay alittle more for full service airling... SwissAir... It was a scary flight though... i think i would never take SwissAir again.. The pilots seemed to used to be jetfighters... they change altitude very fast... the fluctuation was soooo huge... i almost didnt want to fly back to singapore on swissair... i started thinking if i should take a train back to singapore or sumthing... sobsob...
Our pathetic meal... worse than i thought...
Rise and shine... our first full day in bangkok... picture taken at baiyoke suite top floor after we had our breakfast...

our hotel room pratunam market... im so surprised... since the last time i came was jus march'08... pratunam market change so fast.. they renovated... u see all the chandeliers? so beautiful... please bear in mind its a market... wholesale market... we arent expecting all these...

this is yummy, although we din know what it is called... i guess it is made of starch...
jus a tube top, there are more than 100 different clothes for you to choose... this picture is taken for florence who din come with us to bangkok... becos tube top is her favourite... xb...
a shop in platinum mall
shark's fin and birds' nest - a must eat when u come to bangkok...
after our dinner, all the shops closed... its just 7pm...
Singaporeans favourite shopping mall - Platinum fashion mall...
our buys on the first day in Bangkok... how satisfying it is... if u nv take a tuk-tuk in bangkok, then u have nv come to bangkok...
the toilet... haa... we are going to RCA - Route 66...


Day 2 - In Bangkok.... at their train station... taking a train to Chatuchak


its so hot at chatuchak... u must come to chatutak, if you come to bangkok during the weekends... they are only open during the weekends... if you can take the heat... it can get extremely hot in here...
our purchases over the two days in bangkok...
our last day in bangkok...
so happening... can you see the fire engine? i think a fire broke out in the shopping centre...


home sweet home... with our buys.... wahaha...
can i buy this lollipop???
Fulvia got nothing better to do... and only realise this farnie tag after owning this jacket for a few years... It states "Wash this when dirty".... I guess Puma thinks that ppl dun wash their clothes when its dirty... ewww... it still tickles me till now...
Home sweet home...

Finally, I'm posting my photos on Vietnam... which was 3 to 4 months ago... Cos i jus changed my internet service provider to Singnet... Hope its faster... Easier for me to update...

Early morning 6am, on the flight to ho chi minh vietnam... takes about 1hr 30mins to reach vietnam... nearer than Bangkok...
Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City...
at the small hotel lift...
spot the difference! this billard table doesnt have holes...

Vietnam has one of the worst traffics in the world... i cant understand how it works.. there are no traffic lights at T-junctions.. no pedestrian crossings... u jus cross if u think its safe... motorcycles are their main transport... it is very difficult to drive around in a car...
our couple polo tee from our march bangkok trip.
this is the cao dai temple... it is a temple of all religions... this came about as there was social unrest amongst the vietnamese due to difference in their religion. Thus this temple was meant to unit the vietnamese as cao dai is a religion that consist of all religion, e.g. budhistim, taoism, christianity, muslim, etc...

they do prayers every 6am, 12noon, 6pm and 12midnite... if i nv remember wrongly...


when did LV produce motorcycles? wahaha...
their buildings are all slim and narrow... thats my hotel... most buildings are like that... influenced by french as they used to be under french colonial...
a BBQ dinner...
their "popiah" i feel that im eating plastic... ewww...
this is the cu chi tunnel... the tour guide is telling us about the history of cu chi tunnel before we head to the actual tunnel... this place give me a very eerie feeling...
this was how small the tunnel is... the tunnels that the cu chi ppl hide underground during the vietnam war period... they not only hide in it, but they live in the tunnel during the years of the vietnam war...


this is a kind of trap that they will build all over the place in the jungle... this is one of the tunnels...
can u spot the millipede... ewww... they are so big in size... crawling all over the place...
one of the military tank left behind...
these are all kinds of traps that the cu chi ppl building to injure the invaders...

during the war time, they used tyres to make shoes out of it... wat a clever idea...
this is a bomb crater... its quite huge a size... but not very obvious in the photo...
bombshells that was found after the war...
these are flowers i eat for steamboat... surprisingly, they are sweet and yummy.... i miss it...
at Mekong River...
there are still alot of villages...

transporting rice out to sell...
they are preparing our lunch...
our lunch... the seafood are so fresh and yummy...
rest and relax...
do you know what is this??? its their toilet!!!
a small rice field...
a small fish pond...
their cows are so thin...
the vietnam hat...
their market...


their goldsmith shops...
our group that went to vietnam...
home sweet home!

went for food tasting on 22nd Nov, our menu is called Senerade 3 ( Tian Chang Di Jiu)...

First Dish, Lobster Combination.
Consist of Salad Lobster with fruits(melon, papaya, etc)
Deep-fried Seafood Roll
Sauteed Scallops with vegetables
Jelly Fish & Octopus(Idako)
BBQ Duck
I would say that the presentation is nice and the food taste good too... be sure to try it..

2nd Dish, Braised Shark Fin with Shredded Dried Scallop & Crabmeat, If you notice, you can actually see the shark's fin... not the usual kind where you dun even know whether you are eating shark's fin or not...
3rd Dish, steamed garoupa in Cantonese Style, dun look very presentable... but the fish is really fresh...

4th Dish is Barbeque Suckling Pig (Whole Pig)

5th Dish, Ying Yang Prawns (de-shell) if you notice there are two different flavours of prawns... On the left is spicy prawns, on the left is mango prawns... The spicy one is really spicy, and the mango one taste special... sounds weird but it actually tastes good and special... you will even get to eat bits of mango on the prawn...
6th Dish, the usual stuff i guess, Braised Sea cucumber with black mushroom & vegetable

7th Dish, Baked Chicken in Home made style, but you wouldn't get to eat it on the actual day. Becos we finf that we got sick of eating too many "saucy" food.. thus, we chose sumthing more "dry", We changed to Crispy Roast chicken with hot sesame sauce... their signature dish...

8th Dish, Fried Empress Noodle, cantonese style...

9th Dish, Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo Sacs, this is also their signature dessert... its really nice... not very sweet, very refreshing... no matter how full you are, you will definitely be able to finish the dessert... SO, Do not leave before this last dish of dessert...

We chose this keychain as our wedding favour, dun like the usual cake or chocolates( *yucks*)... Hope you will like the key-chain instead...
We chose this as our guest book...
Went to JB, Plaza Pelangi, RedBox to sing K... long time no sing liao... in JB, their K is abit different... they provide free buffet of supper at 12.30am... they got quite a nice variety... we ate lots of porridge though... haa... but before we went to sing K, we stopped at coffee bean for some nice fruit tea and ice blended first...
Wonder what is annie doing??? discussing about out plans to go Bangkok... anyway, we've booked our trip to bangkok on the 13th - 16th mar 2007 already.... so bangkok, here i come!!! Time really flies, in less than 2 months time, my big day will come... spent the sunday, doing my wedding shoes.... took a photo of it... nice??? when i bought it, its jus white lace only... i find it too plain,... thus i went to buy pearls and crystals... and glued it to the shoe... i like my work!!!

Now i start to feel the stress... cos i haven do the photo montage, plan the details for the actual day, choose music for the actual day, etc...

Work is so stress... everyday got tonnes of things to do, never ending... and alots of deadline, last min things.... felt under paid.... sobs...

had a bazaar at SMU called Weekends.. On fri, sat and sun... business not so good there... generally, there is no crowd... so its quite hard to survive there... i think that of all the bazaars that we hold... Lime bazaar is the best, at least there is enough crowd to cover our costs... and after holding at Lime Bazaar twice.. i start to realise that the same ppl are shopping at lime bazaar and alot of the vendors are also the same ppl... our stuffs...
Behind the scene... Us at work... Evidence of who was there(at work)...

The good thing at Weekends is that the vendors there are very friendly unlike those at Lime bazaar... vendors who shop at other vendors' stall will get more discounts than customers. and vendors help out each other alot... although din earn much at Weekends, but got to know two friends... one is erwin's primary school friend, angeline, she is very nice... she shared alot about her upcoming wedding, a coincidence that she also holding her banquet at peony jade... then i complained to her about how expensive peony jade was... hope that we can break-even for the banquet... really appreciate angeline's helpfulness, she showed me alot of things and detailed list of things required for the actual day...

then got to know an ex-colleague of mine... actually we were from the same company(IMH) but i nv actually spoke to her or work with her before... so was surprised that she actually know who am i... Christine is very nice, on the last day of the event, she brought a corsage for my wedding... and before we left, she even gave us little gifts that she was selling... and we even played monopoly together while tending to the stall... haa... planning to get a stall at Lime bazaar together...

us playing monopoly.. oppss... who is working????

the spongebob squarepants monopoly!


Everybody makes mistakes, its okay, but nv makethe same mistake again, must learn from mistakes... this is life... The road of life is never a smooth one, everyone goes through rough patches at a certain stage.. It is more of how u face it... Only when there are bad times, then u will learn to appreciate the good times... and also realise that simplicity is also happiness...
