Yesterday started off really well.


You know, it was one of those days when you wake up, feeling really good that you got up on the right side of the bed with a really fabulous hair and of course, a smile on your face because you don't have to straighten your bangs!


So, I came to work and was a little late (yikes!) but it was fine because I didn't have a class waiting for me. :)


Check my office email. No biggie ... nothing that scares the hell out of me or an urgent matter to settle. [smiles]


I have been on the bright side of things. But Maha is leaving! Today is her lady day. :(


Oh well, I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. I will surely miss her. She's a really good friend and a colleague.


Maha needed to settle something at the income tax office, you know just in case she kena block at the Malaysian immigration and got deported or something [haha], so I brought her to the office and settled her stuff.

Then, our friend Hardip had things going on at the office, so we decided to buy him lunch. He wanted something from Subway.

So ... Chicken Teriyaki it is!


Arriving at the office, I was in the mood of doing something naughty.


And I knew right away what to do when I saw his bread-wrist pad on the table.


So, Maha used the Subway serviette to wrap his bread-wrist pad, which looks like an empty Subway sandwich by the way, while I took a nice paperbag to hide his [real] Subway sandwich in his cupboard!


I recorded a video of him opening up and wanting to eat an empty bread!

He said the bread really looked so real. Dumb-ass.


Swear to God, the whole video was him cursing "stupid B**ch, who wrapped up my bread wrist pad! Where is my Subway?!?!?!"

Anyway, he was just being a little cranky because it was already 3pm and he hasn't had his lunch yet.


All because of Malam Seribu Mimpi, the charity prom night that he and his team of PR students are organizing.


Guess what I'm wearing to the prom?!?! ;)


In the evening, when I was driving home, Mr. D sent me a really nice picture of a full rainbow taken outside his house!

:D

You know I am childish like that I love rainbows and balloons and desserts. :P


There you go, who said it would be a bad day? :)

Well, I believe it's all the "law of attraction" - Be positive, and all positive things will happen to you.



Cheers,

I miss ...

1)
the blue skys with fluffy looking clouds. And as the sun shines above them, it is as though I am not far away from heaven. The moment feel so calm and serene.

I love the sunrise. When the sun ray greets the Earth, it is as though all positive things will happen, a new life begins.


I shall be waiting for my moment with nature, the crystal clear sea water and beautiful sun this September.

I just can't wait! :)


2)
... Hong Kong. This is the one country that I can so relate to. I may not have been to many countries, but this country will be a country both Mr. D and I would always want to visit. So far, we have been continuously visiting Hong Kong for 4 years. Call us crazy but yes.

The other day, my friend in Hong Kong sent me this picture, knowing that I miss the vibe from HK.

Oh, the food. I love it!


I miss my family as well. So sad that I don't have a picture of my family in my office laptop (yikes! Yes, I'm blogging from the office ... only 5 minutes okayyy). I only have a picture of them in a nice white coloured frame on my office table.

Every time when I miss them, I'll turn my head and wish them well. They have all my wishes and good intentions.


When life is a 3D dimension, I wish we can all just step through a glass and be with whatever/whoever we miss in a second. That can be one of the invention someone can think of!

Food Galore

Last weekend was finally the weekend where we had no particular important agenda.


The past few weekends have been quite hectic. With family commitments, work and ... work.


So, Mr. D and I took our time to wake up in the morning.


No alarm clocks ringing! Bliss. :)


Then, we decided to hit the gym. Our usual routine on a Saturday.


I waited for him to come over for a late breakfast at ABC, the coffee shop opposite my apartment. I love their variety of stalls, especially the noodles. Yummy~


After that, we decided to go to the gym at Sunway Pyramid because we'll be having lunch with our friends after that.


I suggested this quaint little cozy place right opposite Starbucks (on the outside) at Sunway Pyramid called Frames.


As you can see, a lot of frames decorating the cafe. :)

They are on sale too! So, if you see something you like, just ask for the waiter and they will be happy to assist you :)



The menu displays its concept of fusion. So, you'll see some Asian servings besides the Western ones.




Mr. D and I decided to leave Sunway Pyramid earlier for a movie in Midvalley. We didn't have a movie in mind, so we just headed there and bought this particular movie starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz entitled Knight and Day.

I would say it may not be the best compared to all the movies Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have acted in, it's just comedy. So, don't go in with high expectations.


Believe it or not, we went for a 2 hour shopping because we had to wait for our movie at 7.35pm and the one who shopped the most was him! Well, that usually happens. I only bought a clutch by Calvin Klein.


After our movie, most of the shops were closing, and the big guy asked if I have anything in mind for dinner. As usual, I have suggestions for dinner ... but it can be bad suggestions most of the time.

So, I'll leave it to him.


And he always brings me to these really nice places!


That night, I dined with Mr. D at this fabulous place called Ribs by Vintry@ Damansara Heights.


Very cozy place for a nice chit-chat.


As you can see, there are a variety of wines to choose from.

We didn't drink any that night. Not the right mood for wines ... perhaps some other day :)

Knowing that the serving would be large, we only ordered a few things to share.


We ordered the mushroom soup. YUMMY!


The highlight of the menu would be their famous ribs.


Pork ribs, to be exact.

So, we ordered their famous BBQ pork rib with special sauce.



I visited Lee Yi again on Sunday. This time, she can respond to conversations. She would smile and giggle as if knowing what I was saying. :)



XOXO,

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)

In memory of the King of Pop, I've adapted a poem below:-

Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing, now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind.

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace. Sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon.

In the instant that Michael is gone, we know nothing. No clocks can tell time. No oceans can rush our tides with the abrupt absence of our treasure.

Though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone.

Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him.

He came to us from the creator, trailing creativity in abundance.

Despite the anguish, his life was sheathed in mother love, family love, and survived and did more than that.

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.

We had him, beautiful, delighting our eyes.

His hat, aslant over his brow, and took a pose on his toes for all of us.

And we laughed and stomped our feet for him.

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing. He gave us all he had been given.

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square.

In Johannesburg and Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Birmingham, England

We are missing Michael.

But we do know we had him, and we are the world.

Michael, of all the rumors and bad things they say about you, we still miss you for the many good things you possess. Your songs will never be forgotten nor replaced.

You're a legend.

Once upon a time in Shanghai ...

... there was a really beautiful castle called Malaysia (wtf).



It has beautiful lighting, weather was great (!!!) ... with occasional breeze.

Perfect.


We could see Thailand opposite as well.



Well everything was perfect. So, me and my prince decided to take a sit at the many benches (mostly already occupied) to admire the place, buildings, and rest our feet.

The few other people sharing the bench with us got up and continued their journey to the other side of the world, visiting other countries like Australia, France, Italy and up to the States.

Given the state where Chinese in China are not so hospitable (NOT ALL Chinese but MOST of them), my prince and I have been very tolerant and patient.

After a while, a group of people, maybe about 5 of them in their 40s and 50s, came and decided to sit next to us.

They took out their bags of food and starting eating.


I was so annoyed when one of them actually threw the seeds and orange skin everywhere.

C'mon, can't you see the rubbish bin(ssssssss) available not even a stone throw away?

Anyway, I couldn't be bothered since it is not my country. So, I decided to pay attention on what my prince was cooking on the iPhone iCook game. He did a good job by BBQ'ing perfect steaks!

Oh mind you, he is really good in BBQ'ing real life as well! :P

Anyway, suddenly I felt someone kept pushing me from behind. I turned to look and saw the aunty sitting really really near to me ... in fact, tried to squeeze to OWN MORE SPACE.

I told my prince "I have no space to sit"

He, being the more patient one most of the time, tried to sit further away despite the little space he was sitting, so I have some space to fit my big butt.

I heard her friends told her that they are going for a toilet break.

She said "Oh alright! I'll keep this space for you until you're back!"


I continued paying attention to the game my prince was playing.


Suddenly, I felt her squeezing her way towards me again!!!!


This time, I got SO ANNOYED, I shouted "HEY!! We have no place left to sit!"


Well, as usual, some people can be so ignorant and selfish. She stopped but put her left on top of the other bench where her friends were sitting as so NOBODY can sit.


I got so angry I stood up and snap a picture of her!



My prince asked me to sit down and ignore her.

He is such a sweetie pie. Despite the very little space we had left, he shifted a little more so I could sit.

Most of you might be thinking that we should actually switch benches to an unoccupied one and stop annoying myself right?

Well, the place is so pack that there are no benches left in that area and we were too tired to walk to another unoccupied bench. It would be like walking another 1KM. Because some people just sleep on the benches ... like taking a nap or read a book. -____-!!!



Anyway, I sat in the little space left to rest my legs a little more.



After a few more minutes, SHE WAS SQUEEZING HER WAY TOWARDS US AGAIN!!!!!


What on earth is that?!?!?!?!!!!!!


I was so angry I stood up and took another picture. Heck care ... I was shouting that we have no place to sit but she doesn't care... so why should I care?


See?!

She was occupying another bench using her left leg on one side and her right leg on the other side.

And that was not enough? She had to SQUEEZE her way through to get more space to sit when she already has such a huge space lor!


We gave up, stood up and left.

You know why? Because my prince only has HALF A BUTT to sit and I have NO SPACE left to sit.


This is part of the HATE relationship I had in China despite my LOVE for Hong Kong and Macau which is part of China. Maybe I will love some other parts of China ... like I love the scenery in Hangzhou and maybe a little Suzhou. But so far, China hasn't WOW me yet.


So there you go, my Love-Hate relationship with China.




XOXO,

Moments :)

I was in Midvalley on Saturday.

You know what? Endless number of kids and their parents. Some kids just drive me crazy. They just kept going on and on, running everywhere.

So, I told Mr. D that next time, if we were to have a kid together, he will be the one carrying the kid because I'm not a fond of the idea whereby you tie the kid on their hands ... you know the string? Like you're walking a dog.

Mr. D said that he'll get tired just carrying the baby around, why not the stroller?

I said yea... what if the baby doesn't want to be in the stroller?


Ok wait, I think Mr. D said the last sentence.

Anyway, in conclusion, I'm not fond of the idea where you tie your kid with the .... what do you call that? Enlightened me!



Oh, have you watched Toy Story 3 ?????


Because I haven't watch it yet. So, don't spoil it! Don't tell me about it! Because I think we'll be watching it this coming weekend.

Well, "I think" because it has become a routine where Mr. D will be the one buying the tickets and my job is just go in and watch it.

You know, we have similar taste/interest when it comes to movies, so I trust him with the selection.


This leads to not knowing I would be in Gold Class!!!!


It wasn't my first time watching in Premier Class/Gold Class. The last time, we were invited to the premier of Transformers II with the rest of the DiGi family at the Premier Class and also Gold Class for the Transformers I.


It was my first time watching Gold Class in The Gardens, Midvalley.


But it's also extra special this time....











because ....



















it was SEX AND THE CITY 2!!!!!




Well, when I told Pei, she wasn't really excited like me.


It's like "oh is it? I don't watch Sex and the City."



Potong steam. :P



I mean ... I know I'm spoiled.



Most guys can't relate to movies like Sex and The City. It's very high-fashion, women drama, sex ... OK maybe just the sex part with Samantha. Haha!


So, for him to buy 2 Gold Class tickets, surprised me on the spot and for the movie Sex And The City, I was so so so touched and surprised! :D


I was smiling and giggling all the way into the cinema, in the cinema and while watching the movie ... AND after the movie, I felt so blissful I didn't know what to say but thank you. :)



I was so happy to see that the seats come in sofa with pillow and blankets!


No wonder he didn't remind me to wear my jackets! :P




Me, getting comfortable almost immediately. :)


And yeah, my blanket was inside out upside down. -___-


Mr. D kept nagging me to change it back because the correct colour was suppose to be dark brown on the outside. So since mine was upside down already everyone could see me sitting there even though it was super dark in the cinema because it was highlight orange colour lor!


Embarrassing moments just happens to me at times...



Today, Hardip and Maha just tricked me about "a job for women to just lick stamps at the post office during the ancient times in Malaysia".



And to make the bullshit even more interesting and credible, Maha just had to rub it in by applying some Advertising skills and some persuasion by saying ..


"Yah, to attract men to post more mails, so they hired very beautiful woman for the job."






AND I REALLY BELIEVED THEM THAT THERE WAS SUCH A JOB.






I told them that they really cracked their credibility for being knowledgeable ... I will always filter information they feed me next time!




-____-




God please save me from such embarrassing moments.


XOXO,
theRascal

Live, Love, Laugh ❤❤❤

I visited her yesterday. She can now react to almost any adult conversation with a smile and even start giggling when she's happy :)

See her trying to hold on to her pacifier, in case it drops.

Awww....


I am a fan of desserts.

If you really know me, I'll be one of those people who would sacrifice/skip the main course and go straight to the desserts after appetizers. :P


I devour desserts a lot!


I guess my student knows that and since they love me to love them and to also love myself (wtf), my dear student brought a cake from home, for me to share some love and her love to the rest of the lecturers in my department.


The cheese cake, is good. It was so GOOD.


I don't know about you, but some people just love to complain.

"Oh it is not moist enough, if only I can taste the perfect one I had in Italy"

Then pack your bags and go live in Italy until you die lah. wtf.

I mean, how can you compare Malaysian taste and Italian taste? Obviously there would be a difference! Even Indian food taste different in INDIA and the ones in MALAYSIA.

Annoying.


Anyway, I did something on Wednesday.

I have been trying to plan my spontaneous surprise for so long now.

Again, if you have been reading my blog for long, you know I love giving surprises (as well as receiving them) and I would always try to do something different each time.

Initially, I only bought a box. I thought it would be fun to name it or perhaps put something inside.

For months now, I have been thinking what to put!

My good friend, Joe, suggested condom. HAHAHAHA very funny.





NO.





Cannot think of something more creative meh? Condom already got boxes, why do you need to put a box in a box.


OK I'm crapping again.



So, anyway, I finally had a brilliant idea!



With the advice from my Creative Director in SS2 (hahahaha! *inside joke*), I borrowed some crayons and did the job.



I wasn't thinking of putting too much colour, because it is suppose to look man-ly.

But with the theme, it must contain colours!!!


I named the box - Rainbow.


To me, rainbow has the following meanings:

1. Happy
2. Cheerful
3. Contentment
4. Childhood memories
5. Good luck (because you don't see it all the time, right?)
   

So, here you go!



Finally, I bought some of his favourite snacks and sweets in the box. He's always busy at work, so a snack would do to fill his stomach, prone to getting gastric too!



Inside the box, I wrote the following message at the bottom:

Once finish, you know who to call :)


p/s: me

Ok lah, just a simple message. :P



Have a good weekend, people!



Update:
Now I realize my artwork on the box actually looks a bit too childish. I know why ... I asked advice from the wrong person. My creative came from a boy. -____- fml. Should have asked opinions from a man instead. Duh~

How was the match last night?

... the road was practically empty last night.



"I think everybody is watching World Cup at home," I told my boyfriend.

"No lahh... you think what... all come out and watch one okayy," said the boyfriend.



I went home, he helped me pack my house for the renovation starting the next day.

I was so tired I slept slightly pass midnight.






Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I was woken up by some loud cheers from people downstairs.



I woke up, with my sleepy eye, I grabbed my handphone to see what time it was.






2am.






I tried to go back to bed.





Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





I woke up, checked my handphone for the time again.






3am.






Bloody hell.






I forced myself to go back to bed.




Then, suddenly, I woke up because I was feeling very cold.

I looked at my handphone.





5am++





I told myself, "bloody hell. F**k the world cup supporters. If not I would have a few more hours' sleep!"



I didn't get enough sleep because of you cheering so loud!



World cup World cup World cup ... world your head.



XOXO,

Life

Life is not just what you think it is.


It is wanting to do something meaningful with.


As I sat in my living room, watching the sun sets ... I told myself that I'm thankful I'm able to sit here watch it set, admiring its beauty ... because somewhere out there, not everyone has the same privilege.

Thank you :)


And I would like to make it a point to congratulate Bambina, as she's enjoying the process into the next stage of life - marriage, family, wife & babies.

I'm so happy to be able to share this moment with her :)

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Fan!


Enjoy your Sunday, people! :D

Program-less

... was the title for last weekend.


For a few weeks, both of us had a lot of things going on during the weekends. It will either be with the friends, family or some party going on *cheh like very happening like that*

We're just occupied people during the weekends!

But anyway, we always want to spend with each other but yet have something to do. Like an aim.

Normally, we'll just catch a movie, meet up friends ... or just spending time with family.


Last two weekends, we were in Shanghai and then back from Shanghai ... so two weekends were occupied and came last weekend, we suddenly had nothing to do!!!!

So, we watched a movie and another 2 movies the next day at Tropicana City Mall, which btw, is a boring place.

Oh, supported my students at the 988 Radio Audition as well. So proud of them :)

... and then suddenly we didn't have anything to do on Saturday.




Then, the big guy had a really brilliant idea!!!!!




We went for steamboat in GENTING.



HAHAHAHAHA



Anyway, the place was ok.


Not like a whole lot of variety of food to choose from, but sufficient.


Not too bad lah!


So anyway, my friends were stating the obvious that whenever they meet us for lunch/dinner, it will either be steamboat or shabu-shabu, which by the way, is Japanese steamboat. wtf.

I don't know why, but we just love steamboat.

I used to always have really realllyyy bad gastric after steamboat and I think it's because my stomach cannot digest the balls.


Balls = fish balls lah what were you thinking? *shakes head*


I think I've trained my stomach really well that nowadays, I don't get it anymore *touch wood* . Or is it only that particular shop we go to? But it's not tom yam soup or any other spicy soup ... it's normal chicken soup. *hmmmmmmm.....



Ohh ohhh ohh!!!!


I have something very exciting to share!


KDU has now setup its very own photo studio for the photo-comm. students! Now, all photo-comm. students can learn photography skills in a proper room :)


So, in order to test it out, making sure that it is running orderly and also making sure that everything is alright ....

Shanghai World Expo

Here are some of the photos I took from the Shanghai World Expo!

1) Italy Pavilion


I know this picture is not in the correct position but look how pretty are the carvings!


I think they must be so proud of their sofa or something ... these people were kept in a fish tank and we get to watch them making sofa live! Wohoo!! (wth)


When you think Italy, you'll think fashion (obviously, for me). The above dress was Prada. ;)



Women can never get enough of shoes. And when it is made into art, who could ever resist them??? Tell me tell me!!!



I love it so much I just had to take a photo with it even though Darling was grumbling because he was hungry or something *sayang sayang*

Of course, after that I had to apologize to him-lah you know...fashion always kinda threw me off being sane for a bit.


Orchestra playing from a wall!


And loads of other Italian designers showing off their garments on the wall :)



And of course, you can never get away with Italy without pasta :) In the picture above, you'll see walls of pasta and beds of flowers from the ceiling!


Walls of pasta and the story of its origins.


2) German Pavilion


After feeling guilty for being a bit off in the Italy Pavilion, I apologized and was later thrown in a drastic gastric situation (because too excited about fashion I forgot we didn't have lunch until coming out from the Italy Pavilion and felt superb hungry).

So, we went to the German Pavilion for lunch!

The chicken above was superb.

The hotdogs (of course, what is Germany without their superb hotdogs?) were superb too!



And the bill was amazingly superb too!!!!! I think we can eat for 2 meals at the German place we always go in Pavilion. :P



3) Because the Shanghai World Expo covers 4 huge areas in Pudong and Puxi, they have buses to shuttle people around between areas.

But the most admiring thing about these buses is that they are superbly eco-friendly! They run not on batteries but some electricity or solar energy ... whatever I'm not Scientific. But YES, they don't produce smokes and fumes that pollutes the environment! At least, they do not make me smell whenever I walk pass the buses!

See, this one below was charging!

See this satellite-looking-thing up there? That's the charger. OK you should never quote me on this because I didn't look up Google what are their correct terminologies.


4) China Pavilion

One of the tallest looking pavilion and you need to pre-book tickets to get in. If not, don't even think about lining up. Some line up for about 3 hours just to get into the pavilion WITH a pre-book ticket. WTH is this? I thought lining up for 2 hours at the Switzerland Pavilion was long enough! :P



5) Coke Pavilion

Well, they promise a lot of fun in this pavilion, and yes, we had loads of fun! :)



We bought special edition/limited edition cokes from their special vending machines too! Very canggih one the vending machine can even talk and also has computerized screens. :)


Each of us also get this special small bottle of coke and were taught how to drink coke the right way.


The correct temperature to drink coke is actually at -2 celcius! Awesome ...



6) Since I've lived here before, I was also very excited to visit the Spain Pavilion. :)

Witnessed the very sexy Flamenco Dance in the Spain Pavilion and was bringing me back to really good fond memories. :)



7) Saudi Arabia Pavilion

This pavilion causes a whole lot of drama. The line was as long/or even longer than the Japan or Switzerland Pavilion. Guess what? Because they give out one tiny diamond to a lucky visitor every single day. wth.

We didn't bother lining up for this pavilion because we had other pavilions in mind to visit. Somemore, 3 days in the Expo didn't really give us much time to visit most of them! Well, if I'm at least 60 years old, I would have finished visiting all of them in one day.

I was so .. ..... grrrrr.... when I heard a conversation between 2 elderly-looking women:


Old woman 1: Wow where have you been? Now only I see you!
Old woman 2: Oh, just need to go for a toilet break! So how many (pavilions) have you seen?
Old woman 1: Oh I'm done! Finished all the pavilions already!
Old woman 2: Oh wow I have a few more left! So fast right? No more pavilions to go ...


And they only spend 1 day.

Because each pavilion has an Express Green Lane or the elderly or in wheelchairs.

And you know what? Some people thought it's very funny but sometimes I think they're really smart to play around with the rules ... they went to buy a wheelchair to "act" like one of them has to be in a wheelchair. So, they didnt' have to line up!

Swear to God! I saw them walking even faster than me after getting up from the wheelchair outside the toilet ok!


8) Korea Pavilion
It seems interesting to get into this one... but sadly, we didn't have time. We didn't even get to visit the Taiwan Pavilion! But we did visit the Japan Pavilion! :)


9) Seriously, do you know this country/republic exist?


10) Theme Pavilion

We didn't go into this one either ... because it looks not interesting from the outside. :/


11) Asian Pavilions!


This is the amazing Thailand.

We had so much fun in the Pavilion. At one point, we were all ushered into a theater and was experiencing 4D when we get to smell what was played on screen! Even got rain water splashing on our faces lor! :)


Philippines Pavilion


Australia Pavilion

Malaysia Pavilion!!!

I told Darling, for the first time, I felt a little home sick while holidaying. No, not that he's not a good company on a holiday... it's because Chinese people are just so annoying! They are not hospitable people like that and I was developing this love-hate relationship with China.

You know I love Hong Kong like A LOT. The city is incredibly amazing even though their spaces are so limited ... but just fantastic. I didn't even want to go home!

But with China, everything we have here, I'll see it there. Seriously, is there anything special in China besides the smelly toilets, ok, maybe food ... and annoying people who spit on my leg? I mean c'mon, who spits on other people's leg? And even after telling them off, they IGNORE you. How rude is that?

No doubt, the city is developing so fast. Too fast that the people finds it so hard to catch up. The history is so thick and I was kept amazed by its architecture and how they build those things that existed like thousands of years ago.

So you know, I dislike China in some ways, but I love China in other ways ... only because I haven't seen some of its beautiful scenery, mountains and lakes ... the Great Wall of China and Hong Kong is partly China, thus I can't hate China that much.

I told Darling I might be reluctant to go back to China on certain circumstances ... but I will go back for other reasons, like the beautiful Huangshan, or maybe just to see Great Wall of China with my bare eyes. So, darling said, to solve my problem with the Great Wall of China, he'll just let me see a video or picture of the Great Wall.

-_________-!!!!!!


I told him it has to be at least 3D.


Haha :)
So, when I saw the Malaysian Pavilion! I was so proud to be Malaysian Chinese!

We heard many good things while lining up at the Malaysian Pavilion. The Hong Kee commented they love our huge variety of food, very authentic and rich taste in our different delicacies ... and ya, that's about it.

But still!!!!! Both Darling and I just turned to each other and smile. Deep down, we were indeed... very proud and happy to hear that :)


Singapore Pavilion

I love the design of this pavilion. It was said to be inspired by the music box or something? Correct me if I'm wrong. They had like theaters which played us songs by Singaporean singers and we could jump to the music beats or something... I didn't play lah.


12) Holland Pavilion

Finally, I took pictures with a (small) bed of tulips :)


Besides, white roses and lilies, tulips are my favourite flowers too :)


13) UK Pavilion


We were the few lucky ones to be able to enter the UK Pavilion right before it was closed. So, we didn't have to line up! And we get to admire the beauty of its lights!

Trust me, the whole organismic design of the UK Pavilion was glowing at night. It was so so beautiful.

This was when we get to enter inside the body of the organism to make sure that it is real and functions properly. wth :P


Couldn't really capture how it was glowing ... but seriously, this is one of the pavilions that has the best designs ever!

A lot of people were there, sitting down on the beautiful grass compound of the pavilion, admiring its beauty. Some with their hi-tech camera were clicking away, a few went nearer to see what was it made off (seriously, it was flowing plastic or whatsoever it was just brilliant design!!!), some just laid on the grass and smile. Under the chilly weather we had that night (19 celcius to be exact), it was just a perfect moment.


We are very lucky.


Despite all the complains that I do occasionally in my posts, I always remind myself that I am a very lucky girl. We are the very blessed lot of people around.


And thank you, Darling for making this come true. It was another very beautiful birthday gift.


As I always say, you never fail to amaze me in many different ways. :)


XOXO,
