Happy New Year

Removed my tagboard due to all the spamming. What the heck is blogwalking anyway?? But you could still leave your comments as Anonymous, don't have to log into your gmail a/c.

2011 is overwhelming and trying.

Best friend got married (yay).

Career direction is in a mess, accepted more responsibility which I liked and found it to be challenging, job title still the same though and everyone's asking me about it. Its difficult to answer questions like "what, you've not been promoted?" I wish people could exercise more sensitivity, but I learnt that what I wished for, is really my own business, people don't have to realise it for me.

Relationship with hubby strengthening (I hope), there was an episode last year which led to a very big fight but we're like doves now, lovey dovey.

Went to places that I could only dream of when I was little, covered Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, and Paris.

1st 3D2Ns trip without hubby, with colleagues to Penang.

New year's resolution is more or less the same each year, slim down, look pretty, and definitely travel more. It kind of meant that I didn't fulfil anything this year coz I'm putting on so much weight, probably 5 kg this year and I don't do makeup or dress up anymore. Hair is in a mess, look like muppets. LoL~

No travel plans laid out for 2012, just Bangkok in February and Lombok in March. Can't wait. I'll be taking the plane alone to Bangkok and spend a day in the city, heading there to meet hubby there, excited to do grown-up stuff alone.

I'm hoping to do a Bali or Phuket after March, can't find traveling partners to do a long holiday with me though I would very much like to visit Spain and Italy in 2012.

Have fun everyone. I'll be at a dinner at Laguna tonight, boring dinner with annoying friends but I still love them very much everyday.

Linkin Park - Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover - Live)

I have Rolling In The Deep stuck in my head! Linkin Park's rendition is not bad!

Merry Christmas

Christmas, the best time of the year! Everyone's in shopping mood, we're all joyous and filled with love, we're all eating lots of food and wine.

Loving the festive season!

On 17th we had a pre celebration at baobei's place, we had steamboat, very Chinese way to celebrate the ang mo occasion! Lol ~

And then on 23rd, I bought tickets for Crazy Christmas to surprise hubby, his 1st local musical and he looked like he enjoyed lots. We usually watch Shakespeare's play with my sis and I think it's a little boring for him.

He gave me 2 presents, downgrade from 3 last yr. But nvm, it's very sweet if him.

I specifically told him I didnt want anything this year, but he still bought something for me anyway, have to say that he's good in buying presents for me, while I'm really bad at it, I usually don't buy him things.

On 24th, the guys gathered at Alvin's plc to celebrate bb's 2 yr old. How time flies, it is a joy to have a little one in our group.

We had steamboat again! Nobody wana cook turkey, or rather nobody owns a big oven. Steamboat is the best, cheap and easy!

Later today I'm going to have dinner with my wives!

Loving everything! Have lots of fun people and have a great new year ahead.

Bangkok hotels

I wonder if anyone has stayed in Banyan Tree Bangkok or Four Points by Sheraton before.

Four points by Sheraton
http://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/Hotel_Review-g293916-d1816035-Reviews-Four_Points_By_Sheraton_Bangkok_Sukhumvit_15-Bangkok.html

Pros :
-near suhkumvit mrt, easier to reach since I'll be taking the airport express alone
-near healthland spa
-infinity pool
Cons:
- need to change trains when I'm travelling to Victory Monument & Saphan Taksin

Banyan tree
Pros:
- its banyan tree :)
- can go straight up to vertigo
- along the dark green train line

Cons
- 15 min away from train, hubby don't want to walk

I can't decide which to stay !!!!!

I saw Xmas gingy at MBS!!! So cute!!!

Can't tell if it's just a normal gingerbread man or gingy from shrek. I took a picture anyways, 3 pictures in fact, hubby have really annoying shakey hands, so only 1 picture turn out to be clear. Irritated!

Fine palate

Went to fine palate with sis last weekend. There isnt much people there! Yay!

Went to Food For Thought first but waiting time was 1hr and they wouldn't open up the outside section during lunch hour, stupid!

Fine palate is such a nice cozy place. Price $20ish. I think 15% off with standard chartered card.

Would go back there for Breakfast Cook Up!!!

Depressive

Stressed myself out too much lately and I don't have enough fun hence I'm depressed, empty and lonely :(

Dislike.

Kose eye cream

Just bought this! Retailing at $82 in Singapore, I hope it will help my perpetually tired looking eyes!!!!
