Wind It Up x Gwen Stefani

Remember how we used to say we'll take small steps because we know we'll get there, it doesn't matter how long we'll take, because we KNOW that we want this to work?

Well, today we took a quantum leap =)
I can't wait to take the next quantum leap, love.

Because, after today at Pasir Laba Camp, it's beyond "i love you".

It's "i love you X xoxoxoxoxoxoxo".

Next trip, Tekong? *winks*

Not Going Back x Audiowhores Feat. Pete Simpson

Oh goddddddddddd.
My leg hurts, I've been missing breakfasts, lunches and dinners and I stand around for near 6-8 hours straight almost everyday.
I've been heaving piles of boxes of mini boots/ballet flats/heels/sneakers/oxford shoes to the storeroom so that a colleague could climb several feet above ground to keep them as stocks.

Ditto for our dear Mr. Rain, who's now my colleague =D

But we both know it's worth the sweat, dust and 379 boxes (which took 4 DHL sized lorries to transport per day, in 2 days) of numerous dresses, suits, wigs, accessories, yadayadayada when the grand opening happens this Saturday.

Finally we can stop piling animal skins and proceed to "Choose Me", "Hear Me", "Stuff Me", "Fluff Me", "Dress Me", "Name Me" and "Take Me Home".
FINALLY!

YAY US!

Be Like That x 3 Doors Down

The first present out of the five I've listed has been ordered and paid for.
Now, to wait and hope the parcel arrives when someone is home.
I rather not go down to any post office to collect the parcel when I've paid 6 bucks for the registered mail *prays hard*.

I'm verging on the edge of Brokeville =(
Let's hope the new job pays well.

Now, to make or not to make reservations?

Please Please Me x The Beatles

So, the visuals from the impromptu trip to the island of Ubin.

An extremely affordable getaway for the unemployed =)

Bumboat!

A short pit stop that we took due to the sudden downpour.

Rain : Uncle, the wild boar still here?

Smiling, despite the fact that we were being attacked by sandflies.

Making our way to Chek Jawa on foot...

...which was about a 180 m away.

Chek Jawa coastlines.

Walking to the viewing tower.

Walking...

Still walking...

Uh huh... still walking...

Nearly there...

Finally.

Now, we climb...

and climb a bit more...

At the top... which felt pretty shaky.

The walk and climb was well worth it, for the sight that greeted us... was just breathtaking.

Lush and dense greenery and the occasional passing white clouds on the stark blue sky.

Cycling to get some well-deserved coconut juice from the Cookie Monster's place, which was owned by this very nice makcik.

Yat, wanting more coconuts after he was done with his.

Rain, scraping away the coconut "flesh".

Me, nursing my aching butt after that "graceful" fall at the downhill earth tracks.

Hida, refusing to touch the coconut "flesh".

It was also the last stop before returning our bikes which we loaned 5 hours ago.

And now, reluctant faces heading back to Singapore shores =(

A swollen thumb, sandflies bitten arms and 5 lifted butts later, we made our way to Beach Road for some good hawker food.

Definitely, a trip that was well worth every single cent.

And and andddddddd, today is a BIG BIG day for Mr. Rain and myself.

Here's to hoping we do our bestest! =)

Love Song x 311

For You Blue x The Beatles

The Pulau Ubin trip was fantastic!!!!!!

A sprained thumb (from changing gears - I've no idea how it happened) and a small crash into a tree while going downhill on the dirt/earth tracks later, I went home without any regrets - just a very, very, very sore butt.

I'd like to thank the fantastic four, Yat, Tina, Rain and Hida for waiting up while I paddled like a nyonya with a ton of bricks on her back.
Without you guys, I wouldn't have made it home.
Reallly.

And while I expected to wake up sore all over this morning, I was surprised that I felt pretty good.
Only that my right thumb is now bigger than the left one due to the swelling, and it's slightly blue near the palm, but Han says it'll get better by Monday.

And hey, no holes on my body anywhere =)

Pictures as soon as I get them from Shawtits.

Love is Gone x David Guetta

All these "We want Chinese" (whatever that means) and "Thanks for applying but we require you to speak basic Mandarin" thing has got to cease.

I DO understand basic Mandarin and I CAN (somewhat) speak basic Mandarin.
I'm really not that bad, trust me.
I've got a sister who's taking up Conversational Mandarin and who demands speaking to me in Mandarin at home to "practice".

Is it because I'm not Chinese looking?
Huh!?
That's THE reason, right?!?

I'm THIS close to migrating to Frankfurt.
THIS CLOSE.

URGHHH.
