  ferris wheel, sign of joy & romance   leading you all the way to where the heart belongs   looking through the tranquility of a busy city peace is always within our reach   white fluffy clouds, blue blue sky  what a perfect day  was here alone. i promise the next time i'm here again  it'll be two of us 

  kobe port tower   ikuta shrine   ijinkan, where all the foreign residences are located   i miss solo backpacking  it's time for self reflect. be independent. and explore your limits :) 

  still editing photos, sneak peak of the 1 week trip!  my camera wasnt behaving well after falling into the river back in NZ 2 years ago initially plan to get a new camera, but it was too rush and i dont wanna spend more on the trip then one day i realised:  photos are just secondary. memories remain forever  so here you go my slightly blur-ish photos :)    and thanks to my new fren mr selfie stick i get quite decent photos posing with significant landmark, LOL    still unable to capture kobe tower after 30mins this is the best shot, haha!  stay tune for the story telling session

going to japan in 5 days. solo trip but i dont mind at all. ex travel mate has been annoying. i have learnt that first impression doesnt count. it takes time to determine whether a person is the perfect travel mate. my sis is still the best. no matter how we fight, she's still my sis.  anyway, im pretty excited to meet host families and friends in osaka. it has been 12 years since i met them. and i desperately need some ME time to re-examine what i have missed and what's the next goal. time for self reflection!    yap lu ying, when's our next trip? 

  before sun-tanning   one of my favorite stops  only if i have more courage to climb up the rocks   long tail boats can be seen everywhere in krabi   1237 steps to the top the water is sweeter, the air is fresher the view is breathtaking positive energy regained

  credit goes to kevin for the awesome photos taken in HK he definitely qualifies as my personal photographer lol  cant wait for our next adventure in Osaka

  only if a rewind button is available would we tackle the issue differently?  i guess no thanks for the sweet memories   plus keeping the promise that's the best for us i believe

shopping with mummy and sheng in KL something i dont usually do  am glad i didnt get lost in KL, LOL   visited primary school teacher in melaka with peiting spent a day with her. recollecting good old memories  met up with primary school BFF gang for a catch up cum new year dinner cheers to our friendship!  cheers to prince charming! cheers to dreams come true!  2013, you have been great, but can be better looking forward to 2014 =D

  christmas started with pot luck in office.  secret santa was totally someone unexpected.  got a very lousy present. but that's ok it was a great celebration with colleagues :) party with raleigh folks on xmas eve catching up with old frens is the most awesome way to celebrate this special occasion :)  and my year end break started right after christmas, though it's just 5 days, im contented! 

  cooking time in NZ it's my pleasure to cook for the malaysian gang in blenheim what's more, they didnt get D&V! lol   my fav wine to-date i always keep a bottle of this when i was in ashburton too bad it's triple the price here in malaysia   backpacker catching morning train this was in barcelona    with sis in taiwan  my best travel mate  where's next?   stylish backpacker with her fav giraffe i dont care, i must backpack with sis next year and since boss told me she only spent rm3000 in Japan & Korea  i must really start planning now!

had been working on the proposal the entire weekend. was thinking about it all the time. how to make it better. how to win the pitch. how to convince my not-so-digital-savvy client to buy the super hi-tech buzz campaign. finally presented to client on monday, with the help of my bosses of course. then it's public holiday on tues. yay! slept till 11am. went shopping with mummy. had dessert. watched tv. how i wish everyday is public holiday. so i can sleep till late, watch tv all day, go shopping whenever i want...  have been so busy for the past few weeks. being busy is good. just hope all the hard work pays well in the end.    jia you jia you jia you! 

  the super gwiyomi tourists in melaka finally, we brought nero to melaka his farewell trip. glad that we made it =)   one of the the very rare moments of being tourist in penang  we enjoyed the food as much as the company i will definitely miss you

  initially wanted to visit taiwan for the food, shopping n frens too bad air tix out of my budget  i wish i own a private jet   to visit romana the cafes the castles (definitely not the clock, lol) i miss the colors the cultures the pork knuckles  n the super cozy hostel   the city of arts, architecture and good food not to forget super cheap uniqlo, gap, h&m    unexpected awesome road trip a quiet little town with pretty view, history, Farmers & pak 'n save!    favorite in NZ ok im recharged. sufficient to keep me motivated till my next holiday

back from the super dramatic trip. a good recharge though. like how i explain to everyone, the fact that i dont have to go to work for 3 days is good enough. a short break from the hectic workdays. am now back for more challenges at work and in life. will do my best. appraisal in 3 days.  preview of the trip. till im free and not too lazy to blog about the trip, lol.    my first shot with lake toba. i quite like the kampungs around simple yet lots to discover   no sunrise. hence camwhore time we're young n energetic, yes we are!   right after this SOS shot. we really needed SOS too bad no one was able to help. we gotta settle it on our own am glad that we survived   my cutest pose as of now. lol i really really think I AM CUTE =)   it's so good to cycle again i miss nz. i miss cycling

will be away for 4 days. the long awaited holiday. since i started working, 2 months is like 2 years man. haha!  busy settling the undone business. send follow up emails. farewell for kyra. oh and got to know that i'll have my appraisal after the holiday. how awesome it can be. just hope there'll be no drama when im back to work next week.   a lot of colleagues are leaving. lunch gang is getting smaller. who will be the next to leave? hmm... luckily the eye candy is still here =)    everyday is a new day stay positive. be strong

  a short and sweet weekend trip with raleigh kaki before i start new job  beach isn't as nice as the photos shown on FB but the company is great  cooking supper and breakfast  walking along the beach sleeping in hammock something i would miss when i start working again   i'll make sure there's round 2!
