Dedicated to my dearest Sister...

Dear Sis,

This may sound a bit mushy but i must say, i'm already missing you before you left. Before you even start packing.

p.s. Pls don misunderstand, my sis is still alive. She just got married and moved out.

I know you share the same sediment as i do. We're so close. Though we dont share much heartfelt words but our bonding is undeniable. Our sisterly love for each other is just amazing.

I remembered we often fought when we're young, so often that dad is worried about us. Dad told me one day that siblings are hard to get. No matter how close you can be with your friends, bonding by blood is something friendship cant replace. I took in dad's words.

As we grew up, we became closer. We start to share clothes, watch drama together (esp stupid old late night drama) and laugh at each other... You taught me many things, from fashion, make up, skin care, buying bra to choosing specialisation and finding a job. I learnt so much from you. (but i still cant put nail polish as good as you.... can help me put?)

You stayed up with me when i'm having my exams, make supper and drinks for me. When mum scolds, we'll just console each other and cry together. You introduced Doraemon to me and that became my love for life. Fancl, Shiseido, Aussino, The Face Shop, etc, i started them because you did. Know why i took up HR profession? Because you did a temp HR job @ NTUC Income and i wanted to be just like you. (oh well, ended up i found myself very suitable for this job also)

Though many times it seems like you came looking for me for advice, but deep down, i always follow you...

We shared this room for more than 10yrs, it seems so empty now without you and your tremendous amount of things (much more space now...) Now i dont have to be woken up by your sleeptalk, dont have to be tickled by you (though you're more scared of tickle than me), dont have to entertain you when you cant sleep (no more 'girl... i cant slp leh...'). But i rather i still have you...

Dont misunderstand. I'm happy for you. You finally got your own home. A home sweet home where you can go home without worrying about scolding. You found a doting husband, someone who deserved you. I'm so so happy for you...

Dear Sis... Thank you for all your care these years... I love you...

p.s. Sorry for being mushy, i know we'll still meet weekly. But i just cant stop missing you already...

Bintan Trip 2007

It's been a long time since i last blogged. Haha.. Sorry sorry...

Here are the photos took during my new year getaway!! Haha... I know it's a bit late, CNY coming and i'm only posting New Year getaway. Cant blame me lah.. After new year day, i'm busy peparing for my sis's wedding. Haha.. Though it's her wedding, but i also need to be pretty pretty right? So, anyway, I went to Bintan with YQ, her bf, JH and ZJ.

JH is not fond of takign photos.. Can see ah?

Here's ZJ and myself. Haha... Luckily he dont mind taking photos...
YQ and myself. We're bored as you can see... I cannot remember what we're waiting for but generally, we spent Day 1 waiting. Waiting for ferry, waiting for check in and waiting for transport to our lodge. Wait wait wait...
Finally @ our lodge!! All hungry liao.. So we waiting for YQ to feed us.
ZJ helped too. Being a kitchen idiot, i'd decided to take up the photo taking responsibility.
Day 2 - We walk around the main lobby, saw this place quite scenic. As usual, it's waiting and waiting ad waiting for us again. We're waiting for the shuttle bus to go to Pasar Oleh Oleh, their little market.

Tired of walking around liao.. Sit down and take photo better. haha...

Pasar Oleh Oleh!!! We love this place. As least the price is affordable. All other places @ the resort cannot buy one... Basically i think these indonesian think we grow money at our backyard. But i dont even have a backyard to grow money plant!!

On the island, they provide shuttle bus service to Pasar Oleh Oleh, look at the ticket, sounds good right? Unlimited ride for only $6!! Sounds fab right?

Look at the time available. Basically the earliest i can go town is 10.50am and latest i can leave town is 4.30pm. And mind you, once you missed a shuttle bus, you got to wait for another hr... Wait wait wait...

Most of the time we only took a to and fro trip, meaning, $6 for a round trip.. Heart bleeding again.

Our buggy. A 6 seater buggy.

I think i'm really not photogenic (trying to give excuses that i look better in real life).

Thsi is funny. They claimed that this is the biggest retail shop in Bintan. Looks big huh? Haha... But there's nothing inside to buy!!! Check out zj's face and you'll know.

So, we all came home, empty handed. Luckily not empty pocketed. Coz everything is so expensive, ended up we didnt buy anything. Hee...
