I am finally Kayaking 1 Star certified!

What did i bring back?

Sunburnt skin, some bruises, the certificate and lotsa fun experiences.

The 2 day course has been loads of fun.

Totally enjoyed the course.

Even the capsize drill and rescue.

And a few of us were even taught 2Star and 3 Star stuffs.

Benefitted a lot from it.

Of course, we got to kayak out to view the city scene.

My first chance to see Singapore Flyer, Benjamin Sheares Bridge and Town at such an angle.

Really look forward to kayaking again and to go for the 2 Star course!

The Birthday present I got for myself this year.

*yes, i know, my birthday is in september. :p

Thanks besties for the two day one night stay at Rasa Sentosa.

Though we didn’t get to travel overseas this time round, it still feel like a vacation.

It was good to be able to squeeze in a short vacation like this.

It was relaxing and fun.

Without having the laptop and HP with us and nobody can bother us.

The trip was memorable with the getting caught for swimming at 2am and the bubble bath we had where 3 of us had to queeze in one tiny bath tub.

It was all fun.

And how i wished it was longer.

Yes we gonna book the tickets for Bali k?

Love you girls and looking forward to the next trip with you all.

Just as I was shopping today, a thought of how the different labels that I go for are like the different friends I have.

Polo Ralph Lauren is like my best friend. One whom I have a long relationship with. One who understands me well and fits me exactly. She is always there when I needed her most. We don’t have to always be in touch, but I know when I am in trouble, she will always be there. Just like how the other day a button came off from my shirt, and I have to buy one, after visiting some other brands, I still return to Ralph Lauren and got soemthing that fits exactly and which I am comfortable in in like 5mins. She is always there, though sometimes I kinda fancy the newer “friends” or “brands” that I forgot about her, she is still standing there faithfully welcoming me back.

Lacoste is like my sports buddy or activity buddy. Someone that I’m comfortable with but the relationship is not as deep as to my best friend – Ralph Lauren. She is the person to look for when I wanna do something, just some activity. We don’t have to talk much in depth about our lives but we just do things together. We don’t have to impress one another with fanciful stuffs but we are down to basics. We are comfortable with that and I am not worried about how I may look in front of her.

Tommy Hifiger is like a friend for a season. When at one point of time, we are pretty close. She is the person I got to know and hit it off right away due to some common interest or reason. And so our friendship grew and I was kinda into her for a while. But after some time, I realise we don’t really have that much in common after all. And we are not suited to be life long friends. The topic kinda ran out and we kinda slacken in our contacts. I will still drop by once in a while to check on her but that is that.

Agnes b. is a newly made friends whom I have got to know. I have always admire her but we didn’t get a chance to really mee until one day the opportunity strikes. So being an excited child, I have been rather obsessed about her. Taking all opportunity to hang out with her. And I realise we like similar things and we can really get along. We are like close friend but not as close as that to the best friend.  But it feels like the friendship may slacken soon. Liek it’s hard to maintain the friendship. After all, I am not one who is good at that.

Then there are those Korean online shops that I am currently into. They are like those net friends that I made. People whom I interact online but have yet to meet in person or touch. They have this sense of mystery that attracts you. And of course, on the internet, everything looks perfect and good. They are how you want them to be. Until the day where they proved to be lying from what they said. If they are as to what they claimed they are, the friendship will most likely remains. But once, there is a situation where it was proven that all that was spoken was a lie, then the friendship may be striked off immediately. Currently, they are still “fresh” and so I am still into them. Not so much of a disappointment yet and they still present uniqueness.  But I know in my heart, the relationship will still not last long.

So that is it. My analogy of how my fav clothign labels are liek friends in my life.

I simply adore retro/ mambo.

In fact, more so than R&B or Hip Hop (i mean for clubbing).

Missed out on mambo on wed but made up for it at Yello Jello, the Retro Bar.

It was an impromptu visit.

And it was great.

I love it.

Mambo never fail to lift my spirits.

I had fun today.

Thanks to everyone!

I can still remember how years ago, I will go every week.

Joining in the movement and seeing those happy faces.

I miss that.

Now I am craving for mambo on wed.

Anyone?

I need to go once this holiday.

Please.

I have been having ice-cream in replacement of dinner for 3 nights in this week alone.

Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s and The Daily Scoop.

Hmm i can sense the calories piling. :p

I am really a shopaholic.

Somebody please kidnapped my cards away from me.

I just bought another pair of Oakley Spectacle.

This is really a slap in the face as about a month ago, I just “scolded” my brother for spending so much on a specs.

See where am I now. :p

And I just headed for yet another session of manicure and pedicure.

But this time round it was so disappointing.

Not only was the spa not up to standard i feel.

The nail art was worst.

She promised to draw a skull, yet it turned out to be an octopus.

I’ve no idea how does that resembles a skull when to me and all the rest, it looks just like an octopus.

So now, instead of having a cool-looking skull, i’ve a few octopuses on my nails.

That’s really odd.:(

Heard a familiar song on the way back.

A song that speaks about us.

And now as i listen to it again, it brought back memories.

But sometimes I do wonder, if it brought back memories of u or it brought back memories of the times we had or the memories of the pain.

Going Crazy
Natalie Brown

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold
My life just hasn’t been the same,oh baby no
When i looked into your eyes the moment that i let you go
I just broke down(down)

Baby if i ever get the chance to be with you again i would sacrifice
Cuz the feeling that i feel within
No other man would ever make me feel so right
It’s nice to smile when i get your phone call at night
But i rather have you here with me,right next to me
and miss the way you hold me tight


I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I’d cross the world, for you I’d do anything

Thats right baby I’m goin crazy
I need to be your lady
I’ve been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me I’m in love with you baby

Break it down now i’ll tell you what i feel
from the moment that i met you its been so damn real

My heart seems to skip another beat
Every time we speak, can’t believe I feel so weak
Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me
And you love me I’m your lady
I’ll be around waiting for you put it down be the woman for you

I’m falling so deep for you crazy over you
I`m calling, calling out to you what am I gonna do?
it’s true no frontin’
It’s you and no other I can no longer go on without you
I just break down (down)

I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I’d cross the world, for you I’d do anything

Thats right baby I’m goin crazy
I need to be your lady
I’ve been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me I’m in love with you baby

Ohhh, ohhh….
Crazy… lady….. lately….
Ohhh ohhh…..
Ohh ohhh ohhhhhh
Baby

Had my virgin visit to an Indian club yesterday.

It was really interesting.

The entrance and the pathway was spooky, just like those haunted house we visit in the amusement park.

But when the lift opens to the club at the 3rd floor, it was a different atmosphere.

Especially after 12am when it officially starts.

The mix of Indian and English music.

It was quite high and happening.

Lotsa good looking people too. Of course, they are indians.

Spotted were a few chinese and malays too.

But everyone there look happy.

Everyone was enjoying themselves. Okay except one chinese man at the bar who was seen holding quite a few bags in his hands. :p

But really it was quite a happy experience.

The music was happy.

The people were happy.

And so I was happy, at least at that moment. :)

Finally, the  Camp was over.

Hmm kinda miss it actually.

Initially when I was told to sit in as the committee, I was a bit excited.

Then after the 1st meeting I attended, I’ve grown to lose some enthusiam.

But after the camp, I still feel that yes I’ve enjoyed myself.

I miss the camp because of the people.

Initially, we don’t know each other.

But it was the camp that gel us together.

Everyone was so nice and fun.

We had our fun bickering with one another.

And I got to know the organisation a bit more.

Although I said no when asked if I wanna be back again for the camp next year, it was simply a joke. I do actually look forward to working with them once again.

The camp hmm was tiring but yet I can’t really pin point why it is tiring.

Maybe it is coz I had to walk up and down and up and down.

And the other probably due to the late night meeting that deprived us of our sleep.

But anyway the funny thing was I set the alarm for the morning.

In the morning, it rang and I heard it. But it was in my dream.

I remember in the dream, I woke up and had off the alarm and went off for room inspection.

But in reality, the alarm is still ringing and everyone was woken up by that alarm. ahaha.

Sorry guys but it became a joke of the day later.
