Chilly Hong Kong for training

After four months, I return again to the busy city of Hong Kong! However, traveling alone for work is nothing spectacular...

 Landed in freezing Hong Kong after hours of flight delayed and I was extremely hungry and tired. Milk saved the day!

 Was welcomed by a little souvenir at Lanson Place at Causeway Bay...

 Where the bed was the best!!

I then walked around the corner for dinner and a little shopping. Managed to get myself a fluffy bag and a pair of leather boots... First night victory!

 The next day, was so surprised to see some of my colleagues from all over the world staying at the same hotel. Plus, the training centre for Lancome was just a few blocks away from where we stayed... Approximately 15 minutes walk only...

 We had delicious Japanese lunch at Wasabisabi at Timesquare Causewaybay.. The service was exceptionally wonderful! Made us all feel like VVIPs!

 I had their special lunch set with tender Teriyaki Chicken, Softshell Crab Tempura and Salmon Sashimi...

*Thumbs up!*

 Not only lunch was great... after such exhausting day with our brains cramped tight with information, we were again wining and dining at a local fine dining Restaurant...

 The restaurant overlooking the harbour with charming and relaxing ambience... It was certainly a night full of laughter and FUN!

 Cheers to the Lancome team!

Finally! Graduated with pride... 

 Happily walking around the chilly streets of Hong Kong after work... Linda who is based in Hong Kong took us for a delicious dinner at some hawker area...

 Highlight of the trip! 

The atmosphere of the place is like a scene out of a gangster movie of Hong Kong!

Only the locals are able to find such traditional local cuisine... 

 We ordered a lot of food!

Food + Beer = Relaxing evening

Hong Kong... 

No matter when I go or why I need to go... It will always managed to entertain me...

til we meet again... Adieu!

Christina Aguilera - I'm a Good Girl (Burlesque)

Where I've been all my life...

The dress is Chanel
The shoes YSL
The bag is Dior
Agent Provocateur
My address today, LA by the way
Above Sunset Strip, the hills all the way

My rings are by Webster
It makes the heads twirl
They all say, "Darling, what did you do for those pearls?"
"What"?! 

I am a good girl

The age I adore, the day oh no more
Breakfast Polo Launch and pools at the shore
The Chateau for cocktails
The Courtyard at night
Downtown is for dinner
The hell is divine
You know I have found the words goin' round
They all say my feet never do touch the ground
"What"?! 

I am a good girl..

My 30th celebration of life

It was just another typical day when I woke up on the day I turn thirty. The sun was shining in the blue blue sky, the grass looks greener than usual and the birds are happily chirping together. It was a beautiful day.

I felt truly blessed. As what I always say “Age is nothing but numbers”. It is the achievements and experiences of life that I want to celebrate. 

What are my achievements? 

This year, I spent my birthday with people I love. I have never measured achievements by counting how much is in my bank account or the number of Prada bags I have.

These are my achievements and the best moments in my life…

 Started the day with 'lou sang' lunch with my family.

 Got my birthday red packet from my granny!

  Longchamp Maroquinerie Limited Edition from my darling! 

Also, I know he spent a lot of time planning for a romantic evening with me...

Time for me to 'ban leng leng' (look beautiful) for the evening...

 Aahh... still looking gorgeous at thirty? 

Haha!

Here we are! At Tamarind Hill... 

Let's start ordering... hungry hungry...

 A quiet corner for the two of us...

 A lovely restaurant with relaxing and romantic ambiance...

 Camwhoring... 

hoping to capture more lovey-dovey moments for the diary

*Posing posing*

 Gorgeous wall decor...

Ok... dinner is served... let's see what we ordered...

 Duck & Lychee salad...

 Pandan Chicken with basil and tomatoes...

 The delicious and aromatic seafood tom-yam...

yummy!!

 The best part of all... my special surprise!

A birthday dessert made especially for me!

*happy happy*

 Happy Birthday!

 The gorgeous birthday girl! 

Haha!

After dinner, he decided to take me for a drink and he suggested to go to 7atenine... Well, after such a wonderful dinner... I have no complains... satisfied, happy and feeling blessed...

Off we adjourned our evening to 7atenine...

 Ordered a bottle of red wine...

 Sipping and slurping together...

Delicious!

Then, suddenly...

my birthday cake arrived!

Some friends joined...

He planned it all... without me noticing... without me knowing...

awwww...

*love love*

 Another birthday song...

another chance to blow the candle...

 *muaks muaks*

I felt like a Princess!

My Prince made it so special...

 *happy happy*

 A little souvenir from 7atenine...

 Continuing my birthday celebration the next day... doing what I love most...

Singing!

With my beautiful mummy...

Another amazing birthday spent with people I love most! Birthdays are no doubt celebrated every year, however I find the meaning behind every celebration is truly important. 

Why do people celebrate the date they were born into this world?

To celebrate life. But what is the meaning of life, if life is without all these people who make it so awesome? For me, the most important of a birthday is to celebrate 'love'... the one and most astonishing prize and achievement in ones life. It was a dream come true for me to have spent my special day with all the people I love! *muaks muaks*

Wait... my celebration has not ended... continuing celebration with my Chi-muiz (best friends) soon! *wink* Stay tuned for more!

A song dedicated to me

BUBBLES say: Here's a song for my everything:

"So long that I've waited for a girl
To come into my life
And in my world
I can't explain my feelings for you
I guess you're just all my dreams come true
And I'll be your lover
And I'll be your best friend
I'll be there when you're needing me
I'll be your everything
You're everything

I'll be your everything
I'll be all that you want
And all that you need
I'll be your everything
I'll give you all that I have
My love, my life, and me
I'll be your everything

Now that we're together at last
We shouldn't think about our
Problems in the past
'Cause true love takes a miracle to find
I guess that I've been blessed
'Cause I've got you by my side
And I'll be your lover
And I'll be your best friend
I'll be there when you're needing me
I'll be your everything
Your everything

When you're lost and you're down
And you're seeing darkness
And there's no one there that can be found
Just turn around
I'll be there holding out my arms for you
Just reach for me
I'll be the one to set you free

I'll lift you up when you're feeling down
I'll make your whole world turn around
I'll give my heart and soul to you
To let you know this love is true"

I'll be your everything!!!

Whitney Houston - One Moment In Time

Each day I live, I want to be
A day to give, The best of me
I'm only one, But not alone
My finest day, Is yet unknown

I broke my heart, Fought every gain
To taste the sweet, I face the pain
I rise and fall, Yet through it all, This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

I've lived to be, The very best
I want it all, No time for less
I've laid the plans, Now lay the chance, Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel, I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time, Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be, I will be, I will be free
I will be, I will be free
