so cool~ i've blogged 199 entries since i cleared away my old posts...

anyway, that's not what i wanted to write about..
i just realised that esmond is on the SMART COP video after watching it again today!!
hahaha the only thing i gained out of watching that video again...

and erm.. dian was asking me what my personal message meant..
可惜人都抵不過自尊
which i think is very true.....
for me, at least.
there might be certain things which i think i could do, but pride gets in the way sometimes..
but what i also realised is that, if you can overcome your pride (and sometimes fear) and actually do it, it makes you feel better.. it doesn't matter if you don't succeed. simply the action of having tried and failed makes you feel so much better..
at least you don't think about it anymore and you know you have tried, so you feel more 心安理得 too..

some people laugh, some people cry..
seriously, as you grow older.. changes become part of your life..
get used to it.
things change, environment change, people change..
and sometimes, you don't know what to believe in anymore..

CNY's coming!!!!
xuan's super excited~~

i was just wondering.. what would be the way i would like my future husband to propose to me... if i ever AM going to get a proposal in the first place...

ok.
i..would want him to tell my parents about it first. meaning, he should have talked to my parents and told them about his plans before proposing to me.. reason being, i don't want to go back home and tell my parents about it myself, and risk any kind of reactions (aka objections or discouragement) from them.. so he should be 100% sure that my parents are very supportive of it before popping the question to me..
i know this is so not romantic.. but on the practical side, i don't want any possible objections from my family.. and besides, i think asking my parents first is so romantic la.. hahaha it's like, he's taking it very seriously..

but still, popping the question is a big thing.. and bravo to all guys who manage to do it.. -winks-

sometimes, you don't know what simple sms can mean.. and cracking your brains over it is tiring.. xuan don't like..
sms should be more straight forward.. you can msg a person for no particular reason.. just like how i would msg loo suddenly and say 'i'm so tired'
ok i ain't making any sense..
ciao~

this is long overdue, but better late than never ma..

first of all, i present, koh phiphi!!!!

see the beautiful sand and water... water is so clear, sand is so fine.. and everything looks so nice... took this on our 2nd day there, just before we went snorkeling and island hopping.. i will want to go back again.. it's such a nice place...


went tanning with jy and limin.. i promised them i will not post the pictures of us in bikinis on my blog.. haha jy reads my blog, so i have to keep my promise!!


this was done by the restaurant outside our hotel.. they do this everyday, with different wordings.. this was taken the next day (after the fire show), so the wordings are abit ruined.. so sad..


there are many long tail boats like these along the beaches.. it's like the only form on transport around places, even within phi phi itself..
and so.. with that, we started on our island hopping adventure! the first stop (and the place where we had our lunch)...

bamboo island!!!!!

this place left the deepest impression on me, because it's really so nice.. can see the different shades of green on the water.. and it's soooooo pretty.. me, jy n limin were so excitedly taking pictures that we almost forgot our lunch..

so nice right~~~~ 真的很美咯.....


so we left our marks on the island! haha to prove that we had indeed been here...

took pictures of the many places that we went, but too lazy to post them up.. all in all, it's a real nice place.. we even went to this quarry place and the whole area is just to yourself.. it's so cool la!!! actually, a lot of pictures are with limin, and i haven had a chance to get them from her..

and while in thailand, i'm super hooked on phad thai.. it's sooo nice.. and i ate it like, everyday.. -oops-

happily and excitedly eating my phad thai!! this place is recommended by jokie, who is like the nicest person we met in thailand.. she's so friendly and helpful.. if anyone's going to phi phi, let me know.. i can give you jokie's contacts.. =)


took a picture with jokie just before we left.. she's reeeeally nice and friendly, promise...


me n jy were happy to be having a nice dinner.. that day has been a hectic day for us, walking and traveling phi phi to get our transportation to bangkok done.. finally we can rest and relax!!

on the last day of our stay on phi phi, we decided to wake up and catch the sunrise.. (actually, me n limin did wake up the previous morning but didn't manage to catch it 'cause sunrise was blocked from where we were)
since we changed accommodation the next day, where the sunrise was just at our doorstep, we (including jy!!) decided we shall be hardworking and wake up early..
so all 3 of us woke up and went out to wait.. (with our messy hairs, sleepy faces and forgot-to-spray-insect-repellent legs) torturous, having to bear with the flying insects because we FORGOT OUR INSECT REPELLENTS!!! and didn't dare to go back to our rooms for it for fear of missing the sunrise..


waiting patiently...... with my messy hair.. hahaha


and then the sun looks like it's gonna rise!!! wondering whether we can see it.. seems like a cloudy day..
we thought that all we could see is this...

the orange-y thing looks like the sun.. seems like we still missed it afterall.. too cloudy le, the sky.. so cannot see the sun.
BUT..... we were wrong!!!!!! that orange-y thing is just the ray from the sun!!!! subsequent sounds heard were screams coming from 3 girls at the beach and pointing excitedly at the sun..

we caught the sunrise!!!!!! for the 1st time in my life, i see the sun rising from the horizon.. (ok it's not exactly horizon. more of coming from the hill on top of the ocean) but still!!!!!
i caught the sunrise!!!!! it's really beautiful....

can see?? the bright bright thingy is the sun....


YAY!!!!!!!!

finally the sun rose, and we were pretty reluctant to leave.. 'cause it's really beautiful.. trying to capture this moment and leave it in our memory...
just in case you thought this looks like a sunset, it is the sunrise.. i'm not trying to cheat you guys with a sunset pic ok.. -bleargh-

violet laughed at me for taking like, 40+ pictures of the sunrise.. and amazed with my special ability to spend 40+ pics on the same thing.. but it's different!!! see, every picture is different.. haha

some of our favourite food hunts on phiphi..

see the signage? it says 'Thai Pancake'. but it's really prata!!!!! totally like prata!! i had the honey pancake once and it's really nice.. very very crispy and sweet.. i think our prata is slightly more soggy, but theirs quite crisp..

another favorite is gelato.. haha we eat it like, EVERYDAY. and jy very loyally sticked to her strawberry flavor.. she ate the same one everyday!! hahaha
it's slightly cheaper on phiphi, but even cheaper in bangkok. bangkok had so much more flavors some more, and 1 scoop cost less than S$2 in bkk

we din have much choices on phiphi.. this was the only shop which sells gelato, but good enough for our cravings la..

finally, it's time for us to leave phiphi, but not without me taking a picture with my 白裤帅哥.. me, jy and limin each has a 帅哥.. limin's one is the 红裤男, whereas jy's is her 蓝裤男 (who left on the 2nd day).. you see, guys on phi phi don't wear tops and they don't change bottoms! that's how we recognise them.. hahaha
this is a long story, but presenting my 白裤帅哥!! erm, he was in white shorts la, but changed to blue shorts on the day we left.. 'cause me n jy kept bumping into him, decided to take a pic with him.. he's another friendly person, from Israel..


and with that.... we traveled from phi phi alllllll the way to bkk!!! where our shopaholic alter-ego appeared!!!!

arriving in bkk from phuket, awaiting our luggages....


we realised that the lights in the new airport seems nice, so we took a picture.. nothing to do and our luggages are taking forever, so we kept ourselves busy by self-entertaining...

ANYWAY, all we did in bkk was really to shop.. shop shop and shop non-stop and literally anywhere.. floating market also can shop la...

me n violet on the way to floating market, while on the speedboat... it was, erm.. a very adventurous ride... we were busy keeping ourselves on the boat...

anyway, one the must-visit while in bkk is.....

we miss the curly fries and root beer float of A&W!! so we decided to make a trip there while at Siam Square.. (missed the one near Platinum.. the person told me it's a 10mins walk when it's just the next building!!!! @$%$^@$#%)


see my ice-cream waffle + curly fries + root beer float... -yummmms- i feel like eating again.... =\


yummy yummy yummy... A&W should come back to spore.... =(
this is one food i miss other than my phad thai...!!!!!


the last night in bkk.. shopped till super late again, and it's christmas!!!!!! it's crowded everywhere and lights lit up the city, reminding me of the merry festive... =)


my beloved traveling mates!! really enjoyed myself with them.. and glad to know limin through this trip too! hee.. will want to travel with them again ah.. so, jy, call me along next time!!! hee~
oh, and look at all our shopping bags! haha we came out with more after MBK la..

i miss thailand!!!! will want to go back shopping again.. and i know i'll go back koh phiphi, but maybe give myself some time and money to travel to other places 1st..

天天都是好心情！
其实很不喜欢心情这么 roller coaster..
可是今天一整天的心情都好好！

一句简单的话就可以让你很开心
一通电话就可以让你高兴一整天
为什么会这么神奇？

其实并不是很明白有些人的想法
如果相信让你痛苦的话，就选择不相信不就行了吗？
我相信 you always have a choice..
deciding whether you have a choice itself is a choice too.
there's no such thing as 'i have no choice'

时间也是一样
就像他说的，‘一定有时间的。因为时间是自己安排的。’

i don't know how to make her see it, but i hope she gets out of it.
if her faith causes pain, then see it the other way..
