Inspiration and Ideas

Sometimes, browsing the Internet is just too slow. Googling is ok, but there are times when I want a particular design or image or shop. And then pinterest was introduced and I was like BAM!! Helloooo pinterest!

It started with looking for ideas for an office space which branched out to book shelves and wallpaper …. And I’ve been addicted every since…

The 2012 Way of Motivation

Been using pinterest quite a lot lately, mostly getting ideas for the big secret and also just another social media for me to waste time on and I have to say, it has been quite addictive. Not as engaging as stumbleupon, but just as visually exciting.

If you haven’t signed up, what are you waiting for!!! PM or DM me for an invite, seriously!

(something to be excited about, big things happening!!)

Yay ness

The bazaar was beyond awesome. Not only did I Not have my usual 9 hours beauty sleep, I was p and on site by 6.30am, and I barely remembered to eat lunch. But i had the best time! The stalls, the food, the crafts, the fashion and best of all, the wonderful people!!! I think everyone enjoyed the spin-the-wheel especially with the super freebies!! I just enjoyed the whole atmosphere.

Sure there were kinks, which bazaar ever goes as planned. But we worked it out and it was peachy keen looking forward to the next one!

My big holiday started on the 8th of February and of course started with a super trip to Singapore! I arrived midweek, sigh, which can be quite a hassle to be honest. Mostly because friends are busy, no one is around and you just kinda have to get in and get out quick.

So I googled online for something simple, easy and convenient and I found the best ever service! The idea of rooms for rent is simply amazing. So I booked myself a room, in a lovely apartment only 10 minutes from city centre. Yay ness! Best part was clean rooms, superb service and excellent hosts. They were friendly, easy to converse with and gave me my space. Absolutely lovely!

Managed to meet up with the NZ peeps that night for dinner at The Handmade Burger and had drinks at Loof after. Best one nighter in Singapore ever! Even managed to have the elusive Burger King for late lunch before boarding the plane to Auckland at 7pm!!

Sheer bliss..

This was sent sometime last week in a Whatsapp group chat over CNY. And it cracked me up so much!!!

And sometimes, we just need to sit back and enjoy life. Especially hanging with the family over the holidays

Wanting to be 17 all over again!

Exactly after last years Chinese New Year, a bunch of us decided to start planning THIS years high school reunion. We’re a simple bunch, give us a place we can take over, alcohol and some free style school anthem’s and WE’RE GOOD!!!

So for 2012, we had a few options, but we finally decided on the newly opened sports bar, H.O.F (along Jalan Song, Titanium) and it was a blast. To be honest, I was slightly worried because Facebook event thing we set up did not give me much hope. With only 25 people RSVP-ing, we were looking at 30 fellas showing up.

This was a reunion for anyone, from any school within Kuching, who graduated in 1998. Of course we had other years come by too, that much was expected. But what if there was only 25 of us sad wannabes.. Sigh..

And the day came, and lo and behold, we packed out the place! It was really fun catching up, seeing old faces (lol), meeting other halves, remembering the days where all we worried about was not handing in your homework and which teachers were the worst of them all (hahaha) and of course, singing the school song!

It was über fantastic to see everyone, and to remember the old days. Here’s to next year’s high school reunion.. Who’s up for organizing it!!!! Cos I am retired hahah!

P/s 2 weeks and counting!!
