Getting old....

My body's aching from the exercise yesterday. I think I must be getting old :P

Oh ya, saw this in the newspaper yesterday. I've read this book before and I really liked it a lot. Anyone wants to watch it with me?? Please?? :D

Looks familiar? Last Tuesday, we went to the Korean restaurant at Amara Hotel to celebrate Kia's birthday.

The Ginseng Chicken soup there is nice too =)

But it was really too much food for the 2 of us :P

Nothing much to blog now as life as been pretty uneventful so far...

Will things change??

*Keeping my fingers crossed* =X

Disturb us, Lord, when

with the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

By Sir Francis Drake

A bit bored at work today.

Went for lesson after work and the lecturer was so long-winded the class finished 1 hour late.

Took a cab home and yes, I remembered my file this time :P

I'm blogging now as I've nothing to do while waiting for my hair to dry. Well, actually that's not true 'cos I do have other things to do but I'm just too lazy to start doing them.

What should I blog about? Lalala....

Is my life getting so mundane that I do not have anything to blog about at all, or is inertia setting in?

Maybe it's just the quarter-life crisis.

Maybe life is such a contradiction after all. When things are going alright, we find it boring. But when problems and obstacles start appearing, we complain.

Humans. So hard to satisfy.

I've a friend who keeps saying that nobody understands her and what she is going through. I wonder, can a person actually truly understand another person? After all, we are all different and even if we were to go through the same experiences, that is not to say that we will feel the same way about it.

Oh well, who am I to judge anyway?

We had a potluck session during CG last Friday at Daniel's place. I went late cos I had a talk after work. The talk was about the news that was on ST the next morning. Nvm if you don't know what I'm talking about. Haha.

Anyway, I think Emma is so cute la. Can still remember the time when we attended her 1-month celebration and now she's already 1 year old! Daniel's house became a small nursery as there were 3 babies/toddlers there that day and we adults were busy trying to keep them from 'hurting' each other =P. Especially Gareth, since he is the smallest at only 8 months old.

Then Emma was afraid of this fish toy. It has a string on it and it can move when we pull the string. She was so afraid she started crying. Then Gareth crawled over and started biting it. Aren't children just adorable?

On another note, pastor showed us this video during service yesterday.

For the people who feel that it is too tiring to carry on living, look at the faces of the children. If they can smile, why can't you?

shop...eat...shop...

haha no...I didn't got to HK. I went to BKK, with Kia and Sandy!

Will let the pics do the talking...

We stayed at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the tallest building in Thailand. Our room was at the Ladies Floor (48th floor), which means, no men allowed.

There were 3 beds in the room. Just nice for the 3 of us :)

Some more pics of the room. It was quite big actually...

Complimentary breakfast every morning was at the Baiyoke Sky restaurant on the 77th floor.

They even had rambutans!! (and mangosteens and longans too...)

The view from the restaurant.

Then we went shopping at Pratunum, Platinum mall. Chatuchak and so on. Shall not talk too much about that here in case I bore my readers :P

Oh...and they sell puppies at Chatuchak market.

The Swensens' there only sells ice-cream, and Sundaes at 49 baht, though we didn't take the 49 baht Sundaes. We took this instead.

And doesn't Kia looked so happy to have water?!

The glasses are nice though...

And some random photos that I took at the foodcourt while waiting for Kia and Sandy to buy the Pad Thai.

As usual. I ran out of cash and had to change money with Kia. Actually I didn't really buy a lot of things, as compared to my two shopping companions.

I did buy quite a number of Naraya bags though...

But only this is for myself k..Chio hor?

And we also got these lovely pillows for James and Limei...

Some more random pics taken from the plane on the flight back...

Compare these with the view from the Sky restaurant....

Oh ya...before I forgot. I was supposed to thank Caden and Ting for the Taiwan pics (yes, I know this is a little belated but better late than never right? =P)

Sometimes I think to myself: if I stay on my own in future, I'll want to keep a dog :)

Anyway, I was chatting with a friend over MSN regarding age compatibility in a relationship. And I was wondering why is it that while it is considered perfectly alright for an older man to be with a younger woman, the reverse is much frowned upon. Yes, I know the answer but still. That's the way society is I guess.

And seeing the capable women at my office who are still single; I wonder when this view will change.

Therapy

Had a rather bad day at the office today. So decided to indulge in some retail therapy after work. Maybe I shouldn't shop when I'm in a bad mood, as I ended up with 1 skirt, 1 jacket and 2 dresses. Then again, I did need some work clothes as well :)

Actually, shopping doesn't really make me feel better, it just takes my mind off the things that had happened. Perhaps I should have gone to the gym instead, except that my membership had expired.

Wanted to complain but suddenly remembered this verse

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.

Philipians 2:14-16

promises....

Fast-forward to the 4th day. Can you see what's the significance of this photo?

Continuation...

Ok, continue with day 2. Yes, I know the alignment in the previous post is abit out but it's not easy to put up pics on blogger so bear with it ;p

I shall make this short.

This is what we did after breakfast.

Clockwise from top left:

1. On the train to Xinbeitou station where we took a bus to Yang Ming Shan.
2. The sea of calla lillies at Yang Ming Shan
3. Hot spring resort
4. Shilin night market

Some more pics of food at Shilin market. The chicken cutlet there is nice :)

As it was still rather early after dinner, we headed to Roxy Junior cafe (i think) for some drinks.

Day 3

This day was rather slack as there was nothing much in the itinery in the morning and afternoon. So we ended up at the C.K.S. Memorial Park in the afternoon.

After the memorial park, we went to Xi Men Ding for some shopping and foodie, followed by Taipei 101 after that. One surprise activity that wasn't in the itinery was the cycling back to the MRT station after that =)

After dinner at the foodcourt at 101, we girls had a little tête à tête over cakes and tea at a nice little cafe called 85 Degrees near our hostel, while the guys went clubbing. It was later proven that ours was the wiser choice. Hee...
