:: 500 days ::

Was just looking back at all the old pictures my cousin sent.
How much I've grown and aged. aye...
Now I truly believe in this : Time waits for no man.
Carpe diem! Seize the day, seize the opportunities in front of you.

the first 24 years of my life just flew by,
had tons of fun in high school and in college,
played my part as a daughter, friend and lover.
now im embarking on the work journey...
ooh la la!

its funny how I've always been chubby. can never get rid of the chubbiness! hahahah.

BFF and I about 3 years ago.

can't wait to head back home to relive those wonderful moments with the best friend and family!

:: street lights ::

2 weeks ago at the mall in Long Island.

These candy strips and chocolate bars caught my eye.

oh cupcakes! they are definitely ready for Halloween too!
intended to walk in and snap more pictures of the candy galore but the security guard at the mall stopped me. boo.

I'm starting to love the iphone. why?
GPS is Soooo easy to navigate and it brought us to and fro the mall without much difficulties.
cool apps for on-the-go me!
I can email everywhere i go.
yay to apple lovers all around the globe!

Last week in the city:
I was busy with the Redchip private equity conference.
Conferences can be pretty interesting to attend.
You sit down and listen to CEOs pitch their latest technology and ponder upon if its a good investment. Due to the interest of the companies, I can't talk about it much online.
But lo and behold, a new game will be hitting the stores very soon and its 100 times more awesome than Wii. Think surrogate! the latest movie by Bruce Willis. I can't divulge anymore...

Nasdaq at times square.
I love how the location is right smack in the midst of blinding lights.
sit and enjoy the view during lunch...

I was so excited to sneak a peek at the very talked about Nasdaq.

and boy, it didn't disappoint me at all!
Bloomberg and many other tv stations were all there to give you first hand financial updates.
It was an eye-opener indeed.

:: rainbow of love ::

Oh how I love thee!

wearing my prized possession. *smiles*

Been out at the library for the past month or so,
trying to catch up with studies.
CFA exam is in 2 months time!
While taking short breaks, I would pop by the shakespeare aisle and read some of his arts.

Took fancy to this and thought i'd share it with you guys:

Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind,
Therefore is winged cupid painted blind.
Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste,
wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste,
and therefore is love said to be a child,
because in choice, he is so oft beguiled.

-From a midsummer night's dream. -

A girlfriend of mine, Diana, is leaving NYC for good.
its hard to say goodbye, we know...
and all good things must come to an end.

A farewell party just for her... Dinner at T.G.I Fridays then to Maru in K-town.

with our cameras.

all together now!

along times square... love the blinding lights!

wingster and I with sheldon and diana...

The girls... do re mi fa so la...

arriving at Maru...

its red hot in here...

drinking flavored soju(we had yoghurt, lychee and mango! yums!) instead of the usual beer.

don't be green with envy.

a great shot of Diana.. heh

with Bev and wingster!

with margarita and diana. will miss u D!

blue = ?

crooning to black eyed peas and pussycat dolls! I love Maru for all their english pop songs!

Month of October is nearing,

which also means halloween is right around the corner.

What will U be dressing up as?

I doubt i'd be in character that night...

I've had my fair share of devil, superhero and pirate over the past years...

its time to pass it on to the younger generation!

:: We all love fashion ::

Last thursday marked an important day in history.
Fashion week 09' begun!

But before we head there,
Here's pictures of the conference I went to:

New York Palace at Lexington and 51st street.

Fashion night out:

@ Intermix. Crazy crowd trying to get a glimpse of Rihanna.

Long line outside Bape. Was too lazy to queue...

How sweet it is...to have a cupcake on Club Monaco!

2009-09-05T10:28:00.000-07:00

Shopping trips!
Here's our first stop,

What a cute, well-hidden entrance.

On our way to the city...

getting excited about the new BAPE store.

what awaits us at this exclusive 3 day store?

But the queue went all the way round the block.. spot wing!

we're getting there! patience!

next in line! =)

happy with my purchase!

My new BapeSta for half the price!

too bad most of the good stuff were snapped up on the first day...

hence, not much damage done to the pockets this time round. hehe.

2009-09-03T20:03:00.000-07:00

Wonder what kinda cool stuff they have in store for us...Hmmm....

:: rong or wrong ::

2009-08-16T10:53:00.000-07:00

Greetings my avid readers.

My apologies for this really long overdue post.

been busy with work of late and hardly have time to breathe.

only on the weekends, do i get to sleep till noon and enjoy my internet time.

well, yours truly went on her first business trip last week to Boston.

its true what they say, Boston IS THE place for seafood.

I was greeted with a really big room, which i get to enjoy all by myself.

spacious!

all geared up for the Canaccord Adams conference.

2 beds for 1 lonely me.

Over the course of 4 days, I had the best seafood in my 24 years of existence.

from cod fish, to salmon, to spicy tuna rolls...

No pictures because I was busy entertaining a whole bunch of people and drinking merry with them.

gosh, i think i gained 5 pounds on this trip.

got back to NYC on thursday night, had a darn good rest and headed out on a bright and sunny friday for some sun and italian food.

Bev couldn't decide what to eat. heh.

My Penne Vodka which was laden with thick sauce.

al fresco dining at little Italy's La Mela.

Saturday: in celebration of amy's 24th, we rounded up the whole gang and headed to Queens for some fun.

tanny and amy.

our scrumptious 10 dish course dinner at Canton Gourmet in flushing, Queens.

I must say that the quality of food is really good, beats those in Chinatown hands down.

we got her a Juicy Couture necklace with an ice cream charm and she loved it!

her cake!

the sister who arranged everything for the birthday girl.

from a secret event in facebook, to dinner, to decorations in the room and making sure everyone was having fun.

everybody saw Awwwwww......

love this candid shot. captures the real S-M-I-L-E.

my pillar of strength.

dun dun dun.

with the birthday girl, amy.

the girls.

group pic to wrap up the night. =)

:: you spin my head right round ::

An invitation to Hiro Ballroom...

The exact same spot where Kill Bill was filmed.

I gathered a bunch of friends, dressed up and headed down to the city.

Well, we've been rocking to the same old story. why would it be any different this time round.

the space was large and the decor, mesmerizing.

tables were placed right smack in the middle which was also the dancefloor.

crowd wise: mostly asians. hip and young crowd.

ur always there, thru the good and bad times. love.

and we boogied the night away...

Party till the dawn's gone with me...

Girls aloud. Don't ever underestimate the power of women. ha.

Well, Saturday night was spent la-la-ing away in chinatown.

When you mix heineken with games, you get the following...

such hysterical behavior. its no wonder we had so much together.

A shout out to janice who came over to the city for a visit!

Hey dear, I hope you had fun over the weekend. (=

way more to come next time round with annie!

This coming weekend is fun-filled with activities.

Don't miss my review on a certain highly raved about french restaurant.

No clues yet though...

But all coming up in the next post!

2009-07-16T09:05:00.000-07:00

:: Feast your eyes ::

The proud owner of a Billionaire Boys Club/ Ice cream t-shirt!

And so,

Its NYC's restaurant week whereby you and your friends get to try out high-end restaurants at really reasonable prices.

Our pick for this week : Brasserie 8 1/2

Location: 9 West 57th street.

This classy French midtown east restaurant has an entrance that you won't miss.

You go through the doors and walk down a spiral stairway leading to the lounge and dining area,

and you immediately see how awesome the interior is.

Us getting ready for a great dining experience. Lo and behold...

First course - I had my share of tomato salad while he had small lobster pieces with cucumbers.

Good food comes in small portions. True, indeed.

the owner of Brasserie 8 1/2 is a big fan of artwork. Hence, he bought this 15 million glass-stained art piece depicting world war II in paris to decorate his eatery.

Brilliant I must say.

This artwork definitely complemented the 1980s style of the restaurant.

Random shots snapped over the evening...

Life is good when there's chittery chattery going on.

The highly raved about Warm Banana Pudding which was gobbled up in mere seconds.

Need I say more?

as for my berries cake, it was alil on the sour side. the kind to wake up your senses.

Both of us were really full and bloated from the 3 course dinner.

plus 3 different kinds of wine.

Burps.

No wonder the babyboy and I are gaining kilos.

we're such big foodies!

The end to a great night.

Brasserie 8 1/2 scores full points in the ambience section but paled in the food savory part.

Their kitchen follows a certain aspect of French cooking, yet favoring the New American approach with milder touches over flavors that linger.

I can only say that their food was above average, but not forgetting how all 3 courses were neatly prepared and beautifully plated.

The main entree was lacking in flavors but dessert saved the day.

Knowing how fond I am of desserts, Brasserie 8 1/2 won me over with their Banana Pudding.

8 1/2 indeed, my score out of 10 for them.

Our taste-buds deserve the best, what say you?

4th of July : Independence day

Showcase of fireworks at 9.30pm.

snapped non-stop for a good 20 minutes and only managed to get these beautiful shots.

but the fireworks were absolutely stunning.

Sweetie, thanks for accompanying me to watch fireworks even though u catch it every year. haha.

ending the night with a picture of the buddies.

I have never seen the subway so over-crowded with people.

2009-06-25T10:53:00.000-07:00

::hey hey you you::

Since im at home and basically just twittering and reading up on news, i might as well blog.

Caught Transformers 2 last night at 32nd street.

This is the real stuff here.

Seriously i think its way better than the first one.

so much action, it kept my eyes twirling and whirling.

Sam's mom was mad funny in the movie, her silly antics on campus made us all giggle like crazy in the theatre.

the only bad part of the movie : the ending was way too abrupt.

Don't wanna be a spoiler here.

watch it and you'll know what i mean.

New Ashiya Japanese Restaurant.

all-you-can-eat for a whole 2 hrs @ $25!

add $5 for free flow of beer. who could resist?

ooh! everyone ready to dig in ?

bev enjoying his sushi.

Food aplenty. and just how much can we fill in our little tummies?

you'll be amazed.

silly shot.

After dinner, all 9 of us took a long walk (about an hour) in the cold, hard rain.

cause we HAD to digest the crazy amount of sushi we gobbled in 2 hours.

Then...

Saturday night at touch was awesome possum.

we had 2 bottles of stoli vodka and a bottle of champagne.

danced to good hip hop music in the company of my boys and girls.

A small glimpse of us partying. the rest can be seen on facebook.

my favorite group shot.

in pairs.

picture taking all through the night. we had so much fun snapping!

and that wraps up my eventful saturday.

what a long and tiring night but its really been awhile since the whole group of us hung out till wee hours of the night.

no complains at all cause i'm lovin it!

2009-06-21T10:17:00.000-07:00

2009-06-09T13:31:00.000-07:00

a glimpse of life in SoHo with Kidrobot...

Kidrobot is a producer and retailer of designer toys founded in 2002 by Paul Budnitz, specializing in artist-created toys and imports from Japan, Hong Kong, and Europe.

Kaws for Kidrobot & The Beatles!

They not only design toys but they also produce limited edition apparels, particularly screen-printed tees and Hoodies!

Limited edition Kidrobot jewelry designed by Tarino Tarantino.

with Miss Ang.

don't you just love the kidrobot wallpaper?

you guys have got to try the chicken pita along Soho.

ask for extra spicy.

Its the perfect combination!

candid shot taken by Bev. =)

spotted : the party bus! It was playing crazy loud music and people were screaming at the top of their lungs. whatever for? no idea...all in the name of fun i guess.

soho at night. surreal.

Moving along,

100 fun in Brooklyn for Ktv-ing.

whats life without heineken? Cheers!

the singers.

my babyboy and I.

and then it was home sweet home... almost close to 5am.

yawnz...

such night animals we are...

2009-06-08T07:26:00.000-07:00

:: foodie ::

where can you get fusion food accompanied by a great ambience like this?

you got that right! sushi samba park!

with my brazilian mixed sushi.

brazilian/ peruvian seafood.

the fusioned gravy was the key ingredient yet it was disappointing.

the A couple with their dessert.

my love and I ready to dig in!

I would say, Sushi Samba Park did deliver in terms of atmosphere.

It was a pretty nice experience and if you have a bottomless wallet and looking for a place to chill out with a group of friends, I'd recommend it.

But its over-priced menu along with the mediocre quality of food, is telling me not to go back for a second time.

Last saturday night,
Zoe's right on prince street.

Dinner with the usual people.

Zoe's is one of the rare restaurants that uses wood fired ovens to prepare most of their entrees.

shocked?

the sisters enjoying their fries and pizza.

bev with his salmon!

here's me with my strawberry tart.

very sweet, very sinful and also very very delicious.

I cannot agree more that its wood fired oven method is very unique.

My chicken entree was extremely tasty but i've had better.

Its food is definitely not world class.

But overall, a pretty good restaurant experience.

:: the randomness ::

Kate moss for KAWS.

If you guys don't know who Kaws is, you oughta slap yourself in the face!

He's a new york based artist and designer of limited edition toys and clothing. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn! Imma track him down to get a personalised tee!

He has collaborations with clothing brands such as OriginalFake and Bape (love!)

Recent solo exhibitions include OriginalFake at the Bape Gallery in Tokyo (2003) where his sculpture "Wonderful World" sold for $400,000. say wow!

Interested? check out his website here!

my babe. when he was young.

such innocence.

I miss him so much! can't wait to go back to SG and hang out with him.

P.S. He's already 10 years old. im really getting old.

Sunday Sushi madness with Bev and BB.

both of us woke up feeling so hungry.

got changed in a minute and headed out for sushi buffet.

hence the just-got-out-of-bed look.

Bev brought his wonder NIKON camera.

perfect picture taken by bev. just look at the mouth-watering array of sushi!

yummy.

for 20 bucks. You can eat till you go bonkers.

i chose to go for the tempura cheesecake instead of the usual tempura ice cream.

turned out to be way better than the ice cream!

cheese cake was light and chilled covered with crispy warm tempura. de.li.cious.

thats about all of my randomness you can get in a day.

time to kick back and relax the rest of the evening.

for all those suffering from Monday blues,

start planning a trip to the beach or the park this weekend!

summer's finally here.

Rach, out!

:: A little news ::

We all know Charles Hamilton and his Brooklyn Girls song.

thanks to imeem, we have a clip of it here. =)

yes yes, its old news that he got punched by his girlfriend, Briana.

making fun of abortion? it ain't funny seriously.

but it could all be a publicity stun though.

I mean he did afterall, post this video on his blog first.

that was how Youtube got it.

and then I went on youtube this morning, and saw this:

i guess they made up... fo real?

its up to you guys to believe.

but his apology didn't seem that sincere. :/

----------------------------------------------------------------------

another piece of news:

I'm sure all of you have heard the tragic news of Mike Tyson's daughter.

Exodus Tyson , 4 was found hanging from a cord on a threadmill.

Was put in life support for a few days. then passed away.

My sympathies go out to the family. How tragic.

She was found her by brother, which makes me wonder what her mother was doing in the other room, leaving Exodus unattended?

This brings us to the question of child safety in your home.

We have to remember that children are extremely active and curious and learn quickly, even at a very young age.

Therefore, it is essential that parents take steps to childproof their home as a means of reducing the risk of potential injury to a child.

Prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.

YOur LIPS like sugar... your LIPS so fine....

woot! drag queens! Lo and behold...

The ultimate in DRAG dining they say...

the beautiful decor of LIPS. makes u feel like ur back in the 8o's a-go-go style.

getting very hungry....

wingster with his fettucine.

amy caught in the act with calamari.

I must say that the food was very mediocre and overpriced. eeks.

and here were the drag queens of the night:

Mr dash harassing the couple from london.

the jokes she/he made were ridiculously funny.

they gave richard a nickname: harry potter. lol.

her voice was beautiful...

Shandi! our server for the night. She actually danced on some of the gay men and fed patrick fries. how drag-ish.

doing a little bartop dance with the boy from england.

whom later got stripped off his shirt by Dash.hohoho.

with violet. Don't you just love the hair.

Lips Lips Lips...

what can I say about this place.

You don't go there for the food...definitely not for the drinks either.

You go there for the show.

to see men get harassed by drag queens, to watch them get silly embarrassed.

If ur game, why not?

Lips is @ 2 Bank street

Ris and I went all the way to upper west side - where the gossip girls reside, for....Shake Shack!

Cutesie little burgers, deliciously juicy.

and their Cheese fries are to die for.

They even have stroller parking for moms! how cute.

the line was amazingly short.

there's 2 different lines - hot and cold food. so those getting shakes and little bites won't have to wait in line!

once it shakes, you know its burger time!

hmm....

interesting faqs.

rissypoo doesn't want to take a picture.

but look at our delicious burgers.

I had shrooms burger which was oozing cheese... heavenly!

cheese fries!!!!!

Im sure to go back for their famous red velvet frozen custard. =)

Kion - went for an asian college party at Ave A.

Bad music - small dance floor.

urgh.

we spent 2 hrs there sitting around.

we had this awesome drink - sexy beach - mango flavored. yummy!

my turn to pout now. love u.

tried out a new sushi place along park ave.

sushi was mediocre (my sashimi was eeks! ) and service was bad!

I wouldnt recommend anyone to this horrible place.

can't decide what to order...

bento box with sushi.

even my favorite salmon sashimi roll couldn't redeem this lousy restaurant.

group shot - a must have.

I hope this was a good lengthy update for you guys!

summing up my 2 weeks in a post. phew...

till I blog again.

:: shower some love ::

went shopping around rockefellar on sunday with Baby and Bevano.

He brought his cool camera and we took pretty pictures!

here's my snapshot of bev. pardon the blurry-ness. it was my first shot.

then the expert took over. =)

my favourite shot of the day.

paparazzi!

baby bought me ice cream!

lol. cute reaction.

and he took a nice picture of me upclose. hehe.

my turn at amateur photography.

tried out another cupcake place.

Magnolia.

i've reached a crucial period of my life.

sigh...

someone, anyone.. take me away.

2009-05-02T22:24:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday to me!!!!

Had 2 celebrations for my 24th.

its a great feeling to be surrounded by loved ones on your special day.

It scares me that im getting older but the celebrations just get better and better. ; )

the birthday celebrity.

on the actual day at max brenner's yet again.

my love!

before dessert, we had peruvian food at 1st ave. pretty much near st marks.

piping hot but really awesome seafood we had.

I would rate this restaurant : 4/5

i guess the bad part of it was the dim lights.

Couldnt make out what we were eating. Lol.

The following was a ktv session @ chinatown.

trying to "seduce" my baby. lol.

The pre-party @ Kurve.

A thai fusion place.

love my 2 cakes!

Then partying time @ club duvet.

Got a "bed" and some alcohol for my partay people!

even though the scene wasn't that good, I had good fun cause of the ALCOHOL. lol.

we had a king sized bed for all to chill. wee!

love my fcuk dress. bloody expensive but its all worth it.

Thanks for all the lovely pressies and birthday wishes through sms ,email and facebook. =)

i feel so loved! hehe.

2009-04-28T10:33:00.000-07:00

:: the air i breathe ::

hey y'all!

Its finally spring!

lovely weather where people come out to play.

and its great that my birthday's in spring... luv it!

everyone decked in pretty sun dresses and huge gorgeous shades,

hanging out in central park...

just basking in the sun. =)

my sweets.

kenneth getting drunk again.

don't ask why we're always ktv-ing.

Even though NYC's the city that never sleeps,

but there's really nothing much to do at night cept for clubbing and ktv-ing.

So i guess this is it.

Birthday pictures will be up in the next post.

till then, be good people.

xoxo.

2009-04-18T12:48:00.000-07:00

aloha!

did everyone have a great weekend?

Well i definitely did!

hunted down a cupcake place on friday with BB, amy and joyce.

yummilicious !

the wide assortment of cupcakes to suit everyone's taste.

Crumbs - a small bakery @ 42nd street Bryant Park.

I heard that people from California come by NYC just for Crumbs!

they've been voted Best Cupcakes in NYC too.

WoW.

up close. kenzy wants me to DHL some of these heavenly cupcakes to him. lol.

I have to say Oreo cupcake was my favourite and cookie dough was not up to our expectations.

going gaga.

afterwhich, Amy brought us to a Korean place for dinner.

Its a pretty nice and cosy small restaurant on the 3rd level of a building that serves great korean food!

$10 for a main course and a martini/beer. good deal!

If ur wondering where it is,

its right around korean town @ 32nd street.

my kimchi rice with cheeseeeeee. wee!

oh and my new hair ! ; )

didn't really do much. Just colored it dark red and trimmed it alittle.

smiles. =)

acting silly. again.

then, rong wu invited us to his fren, steven's birthday party over in chinatown's K1 ktv.

the birthday boy with his 2 cakes.

rounding things up with joycee!

More pictures from saturday's drinking session on my next post.

will be celebrating my 24th next saturday @ Circle, a korean club.

yay!

2009-04-05T22:22:00.000-07:00

hello world!

its been raining like crazy over here.

makes me wanna stay home and cuddle under the sheets.

but there's still work and tons of other stuff to do. bleah.

well, i held my first house party last saturday.

heh, fun stuff happened.

crazy drinking as usual...

silly B.

oh no... got the first KING card of the night.

got silly high after drinking it but managed to sober up after some rock band on Wii! lol.

everyone just chillin'.

my band.

the girls with bevano.

kenneth , the drunk guy.

the only group pic. dont mind the messy place cause bevano just moved in.

yup, as u guys can see in the background. KFC goes well with beer.. lol.

yup, thats about it guys.

am going for a haircut tmr @ Chinatown.

will update with new hair fare pics! =D

2009-03-30T16:22:00.000-07:00

:: My Gingerbreadman story ::

You guys must be wondering why i took a picture with the bakery's owner.

well, there was a controversy going on with his so-called famous cookies.

watch the video below and you'll know what im talking about. =)

his cookies were not that amazing.

i would say, 7 out of 10.

The infamous drunken negro cookies.

can be found @ Lafayette Bakery, Greenwich Village

Leave a comment guys! I wanna know what u guys think. =)

2009-03-29T12:29:00.000-07:00

:: boom boom pow ::

to work, to work...

fashion district.

34th street.

my office is right beside a company designing ladies lingerie

so i had my good share of pretty models prancing around in bikinis,

and fashion shoots. =)

enough of the boring, work stuff...

Kate's birthday party @ DIY in Flushing, Queens.

with the birthday girl, Kate.

it was boring as hell at that place.

over-priced with bad service.

On another note,

guess who we bumped into while shopping at Miu Miu.
the famous long legged serena van der woodsen aka Blake Lively from Gossip Girl.

she was really sweet and was really obliging to take pics with all 3 of us.

no airs, no im-a-superstar attitude. =)

say hello to the latest addition to my exclusive closet.

the absolutely fantabulous Billionaire Boys Club running dog jeans.

Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream are two lines of rich, luxury street apparel clothing established by Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes and Nigo, founder of BAPE.

The lines consist of Jackets,T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts, knits, denim, suits and shirts; outerwear in leather, down, cotton, and technical fabrics; hats, sneakers, underwear, socks and accessories. The items are produced in very limited quantities and are usually sold for high prices.

"They say you got no style, but the day they 'know' style, will be the day when they fish into there pockets and realise 'They could never have the style"-Pharrell

and then there was BAPE.

Rockin my red BAPE shark hoodie.

BAPE or A Bathing Ape is a Japanese clothing company started in 1993 by Nigo (real name Tomoaki Nagao). It originated as a T-shirt brand in the Harajuku area of Shibuya in Tokyo, becoming one of the first Japanese streetwear brands. The brand was launched out of a tiny Harajuku storefront called "BUSY WORKSHOP".

Bape's logo and themes are derived from the original Planet of the Apes movies, while the brand's name is based on a common Japanese saying, "bathing in lukewarm water", describing the comfortable lifestyle of today's youth in Japan.

Bape's main focus is on clothing and produces a variety of clothing items, including but not limited to: shirts, polos, sweatshirts, parkas, jackets, denim, and most notably, "Bape Stas," a shoe very closely resembling the Nike Air Force One.

Nigo has grown his brand far beyond the walls of his backstreet clothing store and underground identity. BAPE is now not just a clothing line but also a chain of stored extending internationally to Hong Kong, London and New York as well as a hair salon, record label, galler, cafe and even the limited edition BAPE pepsi can.

Here's the creators of BAPE and BBC together with Kanye West.

cupcake mania @ Soho.

we got tricked by the long line.

it really wasnt that good! 6 mini cupcakes for $5.50.

@ lunch with amy!

more exclusive stuff in my next post! ; )

stay tuned guys.

2009-03-22T21:54:00.000-07:00

:: Juicy ::

It was joyce's birthday celebration in queens last friday.

she booked us all a VIP room at the karaoke lounge and we all drank/sang ourselves silly for the whole night.

the only group pic of the night.

the very awesome mango cake.

with her sister and tanny.

our gift for her... an LV bag!

it was joyce's actual birthday on saturday, so together with amy and wing, we drove all the way to long island for some window shopping.

Amy got herself a pretty top and off we went to The Park.

One of the more popular clubbing spots in NYC.

I guess the only gay thing about them would be their girl/guy ratio.

which means if u have 2 guys, u need 2 girls with u to go into the club.

weird policy.

other than that, their old school chinese-themed decor is pretty cool.

cheers pouty lips BB.

smile for the camera!

we were in nice matching colors.

there wasnt crazy dancing or overdose on alcohol that night cause the company wasn't too happening.

oh wells, am gonna plan a fun-filled night for my b-i-g 24!

ahhh... *gasps*

the thought of getting old scares me...

well, the month is coming to an end and i cant wait for my new job to start!

so finally, im earning my own money.

well, time seems to fly by.

Come august and i'll officially have lived on my own for 2 years.

i don't know what's in store for me in the near future.

shall just take it one step at a time.

2009-03-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

:: fun times ::

the whole of last week was pretty fun with jostian in town for a visit.

a bar in queens. where we spent only about an hour there.

was feeling too sick and had to bail.

headed to a friend's place in midtown for drinking.

Saturday night was spent at .....st' marks...

the picture says it all.

we had to wait about an hour before we got seated. damn.

and they don't take reservations. how absurd.

amy and joyce. my eating khakis. =)

delicious waffles with tiny chocolate bits at the side. yum!

is the SG outlet still open? haha.

cup says "drink me!" cute.

group shot.

@ bubba gump times square with jostian and his frenz who stopped by nyc for spring break!

the shrimps made me, jostian and rong sick for the next couple of days.

damn.

i guess bubba gump's more of a tourist thing.

their standard of food is getting bad and the service aint that good no more.

Don't think i'll be bringing any of my international friends there anytime soon.

This was jostian's first night in town so we HAD to bring him for some ktv action.

played kings and 6 cups. MAD funny.

and i didnt know Jostian was a crooner.... lol.

with joyce... whose birthday's next weekend! looking forward to yet another drinking night. =)

sweet sweet.

jiayi popped by to join us.

she was actually all dressed up for clubbing but not us.

funny faces!

am still feeling sickish.

but have to get well before friday!

On another note, my current internship is about to end.

and i'll be starting on a new job mid of april. =)

2009-03-02T16:54:00.000-08:00

:: cheesecake crazy ::

i know, valentine's was almost a month ago.

but i just got the pics from Mr. Lee.

went to an underground restaurant in soho for dinner.

he made a heart out of our desserts. hah.

hung out with some friends over the weekend.
went all the way to long island for cheesecake factory. lol.
its been i dono how long since my last trip to cheesecake.
i think it was back in buffalo!

peekatures. =D

the girls and mr. no pictures wu.

i must say that the food at cheesecake factory has always been mediocre.

this time its no exception.

even the cheesecake was so-so. how disappointing.

looking forward to spring break! =D

2009-02-21T09:41:00.000-08:00

:: day and night ::

its finally the weekends. yay!

a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

its really unlike what the movies portray, all the glitz and glamour.

if u live here, you'd know what i mean.

even dawn yang's blog is over-rating NYC. seriously.

she should blog about the real world, it aint all about manhattan.

well, i kinda dread taking the subway to the city almost everyday.

its like, i love my job, i work in fashion ave for god's sake.

But but but, the trip from brooklyn..... Sian!

here's what u get in brooklyn.

sleazy, old school ktv... lol.

its like an underground pub with tons of old-er people. shrugs.

we were the youngest there. lol.

it was lui's birthday so B and I got him a cake. cheers!

B in the tee i got him from abercrombie.

the crazy trio!

here's us at korean town after a job fair.

i think imma change the song on my blog.

getting annoying.

thats if I can find the right codes.

tata for now guys!

2009-02-01T14:32:00.000-08:00

:: she got her own ::

summer of 08'

Time seems to fly by faster and faster these days...

its a sure sign that im getting old.

how i miss those days with the bestie when all we did were go to school in the day,

movies in the noon, clubbing at night.

man, those good ol times were so much fun...

it feels so good to be young, to be reckless.

u can do everything and anything without consequences.

now im 23 going on 24.

still living off my parents and seeing all the people around me getting engaged/married,

makes me wonder when am i gonna settle down.

i think its so hard to really find someone whom u wanna spend the rest of your life with.

every once in a while, i'd wonder how it feels to be committed to someone special and talking about the big future together.

and then i'll snap back to reality, knowing that my time isnt here yet...

for now, im just utterly bowled over by the colors of the world, the thousand twists and turns, and basking in the unpredictable, the unforeseen...

life is funny - sometimes - it takes u by the hand, consumes u, twirls u around...

life is funny - sometimes - its state of constant fluxes.

life is funny - sometimes - its frenzied effect on certain people.

ah... life.

how crazy it can get.

2009-01-29T10:57:00.000-08:00

hola everyone!

Job-hunting has been pretty stressful but it pays off when potential employers call for an interview. and i must say i did pretty well on my first interview!
Right now, its been ebay-ing and job-hunting.

i love how we can sit at Barnes and Nobles..just reading up on random books and sipping on hot chocolate. Its the second best place to home.

December is gonna be one fun-filled month. I can foresee myself having tons of fun with Daphne and some friends from Canada!!

2008-06-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

:: rainbow ::

came across something pretty interesting...
dont know if its accurate though...

Position 1 to 3
As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4
You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Position 5
A mole above the eyebrow indicates that there is wealth luck in your life, but you will need to earn it and work harder than most people. All the income you make must be carefully kept as there are people who are jealous of you who might attempt to sweet talk you into parting with your wealth. Be wary of those who try to interest you in get-rich-quick schemes. If you have a mole here, it is advisable not to be too trusting of others. Follow your instincts and be cautious. And never allow other people to control your finances.

Position 6
A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success. It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.

Position 7
Moles under the eyebrows indicate arguments within the extended family that cause you grief and unhappiness. This will affect your work and livelihood. It is advisable to settle any differences you have with your relatives if you want peace of mind to move ahead.

Position 8
This is not a very good position for a mole. Your financial position will constantly be under strain because of a tendency to overspend. You also have a penchant for gambling. The only thing is you must know when to stop. Meanwhile, someone with a mole here has a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex as well as with the same sex. Better be a little discerning where you exert your charms, or you might get into trouble.

Position 9
This mole position suggests sexual and other problems. It is an unfortunate mole and you are well advised to get rid of it. It brings a litany of woes and a parade of problems.

Position 10
A mole here just under the nose indicates excellent descendants luck. You are surrounded by family at all times and will have many children and grandchildren. You have the support of those close to you and will be both materially and emotionally fulfilled.

Position 11
Moles here suggest a tendency to succumb to illness. It is a good idea to have this mole removed especially if it is a large, dark-coloured mole. Otherwise use lots of foundation to cover it.

Position 12
A mole here foretells a successful but also a very balanced life. You are likely to be not just rich, but famous as well. But although you have every opportunity to live the high life, you will have a satisfying home and family life as well. Women with moles here are particularly lucky and tend to be beautiful and glamourous as well.

Position 13
Your children will be a big worry in your life. Your relationship with them is not good. There is nothing much you can do about this except to learn some tolerance.

Position 14
A mole here suggests a vulnerability to food which can be a big problem in your life. You may have allergies against certain foods or you may simply be eating too much.

Position 15
You are a person always on the move and constantly renovating and redesigning your house. You like to be introduced to new things and see new places. You are not happy if you remain in one place for long. You enjoy travel and adventure, and have a very observant eye.

Position 16
You need to be careful when it comes to eating, and also when it comes to your sex life. These are your two biggest problems. You tend to have weight issues which can make you depressed. You enjoy romance, sometimes with more than one person, but because you are a person with some morality, you will feel guilty about it and this will cause you much stress.

Position 17
You will be someone of great social prominence. You are active on the social scene and an excellent conversationalist. There is a tendency to become bigheaded about your success, which could lose you your good name. This will affect you deeply because you draw your confidence and self worth from what others think of you.

Position 18
You are a person always on the move. There is a great deal of overseas travel in your life, but you should take extra care each time you cross the great waters, as your mole prefers you to stay at home.

Position 19
You have money luck and many good friends, so this is a good mole to have. Your weakness is that you tend to succumb to the charms of the opposite sex. In your life, it is this that could get you into hot water, so do cool your ardour!

Position 20
A mole here can be very lucky or very unlucky. If you have a mole here, you are destined either for extreme fame or infamy. You have great flair for creativity and are also highly intelligent, but your talents can be used for both good and bad. You are not a person to be trifled with for you are no pushover and do not forgive and forget easily. This mole is a mark of someone who will go down in history either as a great or as a tyrant.

Position 21
This is a good mole, as it suggests plenty to eat and drink throughout your life. This mole also brings fame and recognition.

Position 22
Your life is always happy and things go smoothly for you. You could well become a sports superstar if you have the passion for it. Moles at the end of eyebrows also suggest a person of authority and power, so if you are the CEO of a company, you will do very well.

Position 23
You have a high IQ, and you are both brain smart and street smart. You have a highly-developed survival instinct and will lead a meaningful and long life. You will be active until a very old age and will have friends and family around you till the very end.

Position 24
You will achieve fame and fortune in your young age and you are advised to use this period to safeguard your old age, as people with moles here tend to have a harderlife as they get older.

Position 25
You will enjoy good prosperity and recognition luck, but do be careful of excesses. Stay traditional in your attitudes and you will have a long and fruitful life.

NYC was amazing.

shopping,walks in the park, senseless chats, bickering...
long subway rides back to brooklyn...
hmm, this spring break was unexpectedly good.
waking up at 6pm everyday for a week. and drinking the night away over at his place.
i need more of this!

oh and i had my hair cut too!
at some place in chinatown.
i was like all jittery and scared cause i've never cut my hair in a foreign land.
and its like a big NO NO thing to do it in buffalo cause they just screw it up BAD.
lucky for me, it turned out pretty! phew....

here's us in NYC...

in K town somewhere around 34th.

yummylicious desserts at the korean cafe.

we spent the whole night walking down 5th ave...so relaxing...

ice skating in 5th ave.

the 3 story forever 21 at 34th street was quite a disappointment.
the boys looking bored shopping.
