Russell’s first month party!

I think I am a total natural when it comes to carrying babies! Lol!

House party @ Eric & Felicia’s place

We finally got to visit Eric & Felicia’s place after talking about it for ages! We spent the evening stuffing our faces while watching nonsensical Stephen Chow movie, and then played Kings and Pictionary, and just hung out and chatted into the late night … THIS is definitely more economical than going to Velvet on a weekly basis!

Lunch & Coffee with the girls

It’s amazing how we all managed to make time for lunch and coffee on a Tuesday afternoon! I love my girlies!

A note for Stef

Dear Stef,

I am not sure if you still drop by this blog, but if you do, I just want to tell you that reading your blog brings me a kind of calmness and peace even if the entries are irregular, or totally random, or just a 2 to3 lines post. I can’t explain it, but your words touch me and fill me with a quiet kind of content.

Your entries used to contain so much sadness and tears. But now they are filled with contentment, happiness, smiles and self-love. I am happy for you and I hope you will always be this happy no matter what happens in the future.

Bear in mind that the world is filled with hope and love, you just need to look at the right places.

I wonder when will I have you sweating next to me in the spinning studio again. I wish for that day to come soon.  Meanwhile, I wish you happiness everyday, every hour, every minute …

Hugs & Kisses, Sam

Mr Russell Aaden Loh

Ladies and gentlemen, check out my darling godson Russell (Chinese name given by me! 劳勇恩) who came into this world on May 25, 2009:

K is for Kit Kat! Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!

This was from about a month or so ago … KIT KAT IS LURRRRVEE!!!! *smacks lips*

The road ahead …

It has been two and a half weeks since I returned from Taiwan. I have started job hunting and hopefully something good will come along by mid June. Ideally I’d love to return to work mid-late June, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

I guess I am not really worried about money at this point in time, but I do worry a little about getting used to having so much free time to do what I please as and when I please. Afterall, humans are creatures of habits, and it might be harder than I think to revert back to a life of routine and responsibilities.

My second trip to Taiwan was very good and I wonder if it might be my last for the forseeable future. Unless a miracle happens and I somehow land myself a job there! Ha!

Before I left, I wanted to return the spare key to Aaron’s apartment to him, but he told me to keep it. And he said “搞不好你下个礼拜又来了!”

Hurhur! But no such luck!

TGIF everyone

I still <3 Taiwan

Here’s a quick one before I go for my BodyCombat class. Gosh! I have not attended a Combat class in ages! I am so so so craving for a good class!

Last month when I was here, I went to Tainan and Taipei. This time it is KenTing, Taichung and Taipei. KenTing was a let down because we didn’t get sunny weather while we were there for 2days, so we couldn’t do all the beach-y stuff. We still managed to drive around and checked out various cool spots, but it would have been better if the weather had allowed us to engage in some watersports or get a suntan.

Taichung wasn’t all that fun. A much quieter and less happening version of Taipei I would say. And slightly cheaper version too.

I still like Taipei best.

I ate a lot more during this trip than the last and feel grossly obese right now. Got to know more people, got re-acquainted with Dai Dee (thanks to PY, ZQ & Gad) and watched more Taiwanese telly! Shopping wise, I barely bought stuff. And since I am heading back on Sat evening, maybe I will go spend some money today/tomorrow/Friday.

Oh oh oh and Fi is coming tomorrow. Yay to that! Finally a gf! It is tiresome just hanging out with boys I tell you. I am so so so so so so glad that Fi will be here tomorrow. Yahooo!

Ok gotta rush off for my class now … Will try to update again soon! Tata for now!

又是台湾？？？？

Yes I am off to Taiwan AGAIN tomorrow

PY, ZQ & Gad are already there and will be heading to KaoShiong tomorrow, I will then meet the 3 boys at KaoShiong on Tues afternoon before heading down to KenTing together. I am excited! We have a villa booked for 2 nights at a resort, and I hope the actual thing is as ass-kicking as the photos on the website!

Back to Taipei on Thursday, and I will probably hang there for 2 days, then Gad leaves on Sat, and perhaps 3 of us will head to TaiChung. Nothing is confirmed yet, it will be a spontaneous trip!

While in Taipei, I will be crashing with Aaron, Jerry & Tony.

Not bad huh. Vacationing with 3 boys, and staying with another 3. WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I hope Fi can join us about 2/3 through the trip though. It wil be MUCH MUCH MUCH more fun having a girlfriend around. And I hope the boys don’t drive me bonkers after 48 hours.

Time for bed now!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need to get a life!

It has been almost 2 weeks since I got back  from Taiwan and I still have my suitcase sitting in my room. Oooppssss….

It’s crazy how I didn’t gain any weight in Taiwan but from the time I have been back till now, I have gained weight! Then again, why should I be surprised since I have been pigging out on junk non stop. It is like this ridiculous addiction to bingeing on complete junk throughout the day, I REALLY need to break this evil cycle!

I have been totally unmotivated to do anything except laze around. I have completed an entire Korean drama series, and about to finish a Taiwanese series (just 2 more episodes to go!), not to mention a whole load of other things I watch on YouTube too. And somehow, watching telly/stuff online seems to go perfectly with face-stuffing. This is so so so so so so bad. Except for running errands and doing things like going to the dentist, I haven’t really gone out much. Oh, there was Lilian’s surprise birthday party last week, well apart from that, I have not done any big social thingy until today. I was just THAT unmotivated to go out and do fun things.

So today I finally forced myself to get my big fat ass out of the house and stop being anti-social. And I am glad I made the effort. First it was a late dinner at Ichiban with Fi, Pearl, Chris, PY & WL where we ordered A LOT of food (damn! I haven’t had Jap food for soooo long!). The alcoholics couldn’t wait until we get to WineBar for their alcohol fix, so we (actually just them, I am not into sake) had sake during dinner, and I tried sparkling sake for the first time. Quite nice actually. After our very full & delicious dinner, we made our way to WineBar and was joined by Carol, Aloy, Lilian & Alan. I think we ARE getting too old for hardcore clubbing. We decided to give Velvet a miss and just hung out at WineBar, and got the staff to bring out the remaining bottles that Chris & PY still have inside Zouk/Velvet. And I suppose a night out is never complete without supper. So we all went to Geylang and happily ordered a table full of goodies to add on to the horrendous amount of calories we had already consumed earlier. Jon came down to join us from don’t know where, but who cares, the more the merrier right?

I feel disgustingly fat now. Greasy & flabby.

How how how ???
