Out of sight ; out of mind


We are all trying to make sense of a world that is constantly changing and constantly testing its limits on humanity. We care but sometimes we don't, we are our own. We seek guiltless pleasures to feed our restless minds, and never go further battling for the truth. We hide, we starve our curiosity with lies. Who are we? you ask. 
--We are only humans. 


It's been months and months since I updated and a whirlwind of events unfolded in between. Am really contemplating if I should let this space rest for good. Then again, for memories sake.... best to press on. I don't need to use my fingers on how many of my friends are still blogging. And these days, blogs are mostly reduced to paid advertorials and such. Nobody pay me for advertorial leh - I just blog for blogging's sake, can? Don't even know if people read anymore. Anyhoots, this thing takes a lot of discipline. Let's just see how much longer I can hold up.

At the rate I'm juggling:

  • Willtech Marcoms
  • Emerging Enterprise application 
  • Fashionallies
  • Chichi Entourage
I can only say my days shall be led by unceasing optimism. 

Cannot Keep Calm, but I will

Happy Boxing Day all! Hope you had an awesome time tearing apart those meticulously wrapped presents you got on Christmas day. Lol. the only present I got to rip apart was from my cousin, Kelly. And I'm already wearing them to work today!! Love the dainty earrings she got me. Yeah and i just participated sitting by the tree forcing everyone else to open their's...which i already knew what's inside cus I wrapped them....and you wonder the point of it all... haha. who cares, it's Christmas!


Update leading to my most anticipated time of the year! 

Peacy & I combed the malls on our last bid to round up Christmas Shopping. We get better at it every year. Planning is the word!
Headed to our new favourite place, Chillax! the third time in the month...Really love this place not just cus of the food. Like its name, it's such a lovely place to chillout with your friends or for a date. People come in for beers even in the afternoon. And I absolutely heart that it's tugged in a nice place like Serangoon Gardens. Convenient enough for me (:


Haven't had time to blog about the place and its 'Chillax' decor so I whisked my olympus pen along this time... Still my trusty choice for great photos indeed (:
Bee trying to relive his childhood... LOL. Like a kid.

You have to fall in love with the quaint lil corner of retro knick knacks.

Plastic bubble, Snap! and Old Maid! Bursting Nostalgia...
And for those who don't know, they offer massage services too on the 2nd floor! Now you guys can really Chillax hile waiting for your food right...
Xiao Qing and her Pink Panther frost.
Bee's Caramel latte and he insisted to have his shades featured here. Quite a pointless work of art.

 love it that the pancakes came with so much cut bananas and berries. Yummeh!

Bee's all-time fave there: Carbonara!
Close-up!
A Must-Have & a chef's recommendation - "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (; 

Nomming non stop.

 Okay, I gotta scoot for now! It has to end abruptly i'm sorry :/ Wanted to post the Christmas day Pics as well but I figured it should be on a separate one with the Xmas eve celebration! Will squeeze those in if I can or maybe I'll just wait for the NAIS gathering this Friday then do a complete update!

Belated Update


If I haven't had the time, I haven't had the heart.

Too much happened the past 2 months and the pictures are just piling up in my phone. Would be easier if I just let them be and leave it for my private reminiscence, but I cannot let my laziness win... again.
So, here's a pictorial post of what happened.
30.11.2012
 Our 2nd Anniversary Getaway to Bali. The only thing worth remembering was the brilliant sunset by the beach, maybe the plunge pool in our villa, and a beautiful time for just the 2 of us. The rest was just.....urgh.

JM, Friendsie and their best friends came over to our Chichi Studio to Play! Had a girlie time whipping gossips and  playing dress-up with our apparel (: 

Models for the day: Mongshi, Genevieve, Cherine (JM) & YY (Friendsie) 

Having a ball of  time checkin' themselves out. haha.


Willtechies took a weekend trip together to attend Wan's Wedding in Malacca. The company chartered a bus and we went on a road trip up Malaysia! Best part was the food and sightseeing cus I honestly didn't know Malaysia has so much to offer. 

Fishballs...NOT! they're RICE BALLS. Chicken rice balls. 

Turned out we ate at the wrong place. Dammit. Food here was really sub-par...under-average I should say. total HOAX.

Regretted not taking any photo of the awesome Gula Melaka Ice Kachang we had. It was Loooovvveee. Yummiest dessert everrrr... If i'm ever returning to Malacca that has got to be the reason. The rest of the food was...ummm... average (to me). 

Bee's Stevie Wonder moment at the Renaissance Hotel Lobby.
Review says this hotel's service sucks. And it does! You must Never doubt fellow travelers who bother spending time to say something about a certain hotel online.

Another awesome thing about the trip was probably the local spa we went to before to left. My bad I cannot recall the name of this place... it's called Senses I think? 10mins drive from our hotel... we were treated to a very cosy interior and lush balinese decor. They even got to the detail of placing fresh frangipanis in a bowl at the the bottom of the massage bench for you to enjoy a pleasing sight if you happen to open your eyes during the massage. How very thoughtful. 



They also served complimentary Ginger Tea after the 1.5hrs of massage..like many spa joints do of cus, though I've never liked the taste of ginger... still, Bliss!



Back home.....

Dionne came back from the States for a short stay! and zoomed off soon after. haha. Was great catching up with her and the rest. Secondary friends never change (: And I realised the popular topics now always revolve around getting hitched or having babies. Fun times, but awkward moments. haha.
Ate at this famous Zi Car place in AMK Avenue 3 cus' Dionne was craving zi car the whole time she was back. And Amy was darn sweet to have done some research in advance. I was impressed with both Amy's efficiency AND the food quality (:

I cannot understand why Bee is so good with babies.
Kayleb was so good with him, but rejected me and Dionne. Otherwise the person in the collage could've been ME. Hmph. 


And Finally baby Kayleb's First birthday celebration!!!
This little man is such a blessing to Amy and Kent. What's more to ask for than to see this sweet little face the first thing from a hard day's work. Don't know how exactly it feels but I can only imagine it from their smiles. Pretty soon we'll all have our own little bucket of cheer to handle too. Maybe not now but I know the day will come..and gatherings like this will be quite a sight :P
