L-O-V-E

What does it means to LOVE some one? How do you define that?

For me, it's accepting the person just the way they are. Giving and do not expect things in return. Putting that person first in everything that you do... To be truthful and honest always. And when the person you loved say those three words... 'I love you' It's very meaningful when it is said from the heart! :)

Ramdon Dinner

I am suppose to work late again today and dinner are always provided. Guess I was just too tired to be stuck in office since 8am this morning. So I decided to get hold of Jup26 and have dinner with her. We meet up at QBM and went for Kim Garry as we didn't know what else to eat. Both of us were very tired and just want to relax and not think. :P Okay maybe it's just me who can't think anymore after the long day. I really don't know how I am going to stand the rest of the night 

We managed to catch up a little here and there. It's good to see her in person to make sure she is in good hand. Good way to relax and chill out even for an hour. Thanks Jup26 for making the effort to meet up with me at the very last minutes. Appreciate your company. 

Nothing much for me to blog about today as I was very busy with work and Penang Twestival. Looking out for more volunteers and sponsorship. Anyone would like to volunteer for good will? Please let me know! I am praying hard that one of the company that I had approached will give me a good feedback within this week. Keeping my finger crossed all time!

Here is a picture I took... see it yourself and let the pictures explain itself. 

Pedicure Session

This entire week has been a crazy week for me. Been working till 11pm for two nights and earlier night was 9pm. Work and no play... is the theme for this week and next week. I was looking forward to meet up with Jonie tomorrow but it was cancelled as she got work due very soon. :(

Anyhow, I was working today till about close to 6pm plus. Got home and had a nice shower and told my mum I needed a pedicure. My heels are all breaking and it is ugly! So got myself dress up and remember to put on a slipper and not shoe. In QBM, there is a shop that I always go to but I decided to try another shop nearby that is newly open for a month or so. The name of the shop is BLAZE.

The place is design with very different from the other shop. I love the layout of the place. Besides that, it even have a big LCD screen to entertain me! Since it was quite late and I was the only customer left, she asked me which movie I like to watch. :) I end up watching something about a Princess fairytale. Before I watch the movie, I had to choose the design that I want for my little toes. After looking back and forth, I finally finalize to these few designs. 

It took me awhile to consider what I really want this time. :) Which one do you like? So I told the lady the one  that I wanted and I just sit back and relax and enjoy the pedicure while watching the movie. She was busy brushing and cleaning my nails and heels. She had all of her equipment out. 

By the time she finishes with everything and letting it to dry, it is also the end of the movie. What a perfect timing! I don't have to wait extra for the nails to dry and I don't even have to miss the ending of the movie. PERFECT! This is how my toe design looks like...

Do you like it? I know I do! 

JenC Twitter Background

I was trying to keep myself busy and decided to do a simple design background for my twitter. Something I  haven't done before and I bored using the standard twitter background. On the other hand, I won't want to spend that kind of money to get someone to design it for me or purchase it off hand. So I decided to do it myself! Hehe .. sorry if it is not sharp enough or good enough. But I am happy for the first trial up for now. What do you think?

Photography: Piggy's World

About two days back, I went to one of the Lovely Lace branch in BM. Was there at Bandar Prada for dinner then window shopping. As I was looking through the pink pink stuff and then I realize these cute piglets staring at me at each different corner. The minute I saw it, I told myself I got to take them home with me to show it to Peky. Well, of course I am not going to buy them because it will take up too much space in Peky's bedroom and so I decided to take pictures of them. With just taking pictures, I can help myself to save more $$ and don't add to much pressure to Peky. :P Just not each to spend and give each of the piglets equal attention. :D

So here they are...... TA DA! 

Various version of Oinks

I was reading one of the blogs I visit on a daily basis. The author posted how pigs look likes in Hong Kong and Hatyai. Now I would like to show her how pigs looks like in Melbourne and Ipoh and Penang.

Here is the Melbourne version.....

And this is the Ipoh version......

While this is the Penang version.....

And last but not least the 2010 version....

How I got the collection of PIGS is because one of my buddies is a pig lover... so when I see one, I will snap it for her!!

Old and New Look

I am a person who likes to change my hairstyle randomly. Those who knows me very well, it is not something extra ordinary. However, for the past one year... I had slow down a lot. Guess age is catching up on me, faster than I thought. Thus, this year 2010, I had decided to change a bit more on my hairstyle and tada! :D You will see the picture in your left is 2009 hairstyle and on the right is the 2010 hairstyle! Which do you prefer and why? Let me your honest opinion!

Designs on the coffee

I love coffee and to be exact it is cafe latte that I love! While I was in Melbourne last year visiting my brother, I will order latte for my drinks. Some of the shops will have my latte comes with nice designs. It is hard to find this in Penang but until tonight, I found one really nice design on my coffee! Let me share it with you. Ain't it pretty? :D
