I feel like I'm passing days without knowing it. It feels like Bali trip was just yesterday and that my relatives has yet came to visit. The truth is, Bali trip was way over a month ago and my relatives had gone back a week ago. It's either I'd live my life without actually living it or I'd live my life to the fullest that 24hrs is not enough. I knw the second option definitely sounds better but I don't live my life like tht everyday but thank god the last past weeks had been that case. In the weeks ahead, am afraid I'll be passing life by without actually living it. It will be the usual 9 to 6 job, gym, bed and then it starts all over again until mid of Dec when I'll be back in Medan to celebrate my beloved grandma's birthday. Everyone will be gathered together, oh how I missed that warm feeling. Together we'll be there to celebrate a joyous occassion and laugh at every single joke made. No matter ur age group, everyone can be talking abt the same topic and laughing at the same story. Looking forward to it but hoping it will not pass me by.
23 Oct 09, Friday,
My relatives arrived in Sg but I can't meet up with them just yet 'cause RML had a big event to host. We were hosting a secret party for, apparently, a huge Japanese Pop Star with 900 females, including less than 5 males, adoring fans. I swear not many Singaporeans heard of him. He's good looking but am not swoon by him though. Together with my colleagues, we were working 'till passed midnight without getting the chance to have a proper dinner. We only had smoked ham from the left over buffet.
24 Oct 09, Saturday,
Went to town for shopping with my relatives. And tht was all they did while they came to visit. The way they shopped tempt me too that I bought quite a few things myself. In the end, I am more broke than I already am.
30 Oct 09, Friday,
RML celebrated Halloween early. Discovery Pub decoration were done creepily. Hamiza dressed as Cupid where else Xiu Ling really raised to the occasion by dressing as Sadako. Liza was donned in Bat hairband, Mich was in masked, Riny and I were in bunny ears. We had our fortune told and body air-brushed and henna tattooed. Not to mention lots of photo taking which, hopefully, will be posted in FB tmr 'cause my camera is with Mich right now. We left Discovery pub and continued partying first at Le Noir and ends at Attica. Calvin was crazy with the drinks. It jus kept coming non-stopped. Liza was really crazy too. Usually, she'll be tired and ready to head home by 1 am and she'll refrain from drinking at all. But tht night, not only was she not tired even when it's already 4 am, she was drinking quite a bit too not by sippin' but by downing it! She wasn't even tipsy! Neither was I though we had quite a bit. Now I knw the drink that I love. If I ain't wrong it was called aquamarine as what Calvin had told me, if I did not hear him wrongly. It was over all a good night but we celebrated Halloween a day too early.
31 Oct 09, Saturday,
Went to do necessities shopping with lots of wants shopping in between. Bought a long sleeves top (I had $10 voucher for it) and shorts from FOX (only shorts from FOX can fit me nicely and I need it since I only had 3 pair of shorts). If those were the only things I'd bought besides the necessities, how come it seems like I'd spent half of my salary away? After shopping around town with Liza, we went to have late dinner (I'm not sure if it was dinner even when we only had salads and two slices of cheese cakes which is really sinful. So much for trying to lose weight!) at TCC before heading home.
01 Nov 09, Sunday,
Went shopping again but this time with Riny. Went to town yet again. This time bought tights (the one I have is coming apart) and long tank top (which I needed to wear as inner piece as I had quite a few see through dresses). Oh and a pair of diamante earrings too (the one my cousin gave me had broken into pieces I dunno how it happen!). All my shoppings items were somehow justifiable (partly to make myself feel non-guilty for spending all the time!). Wanted to get a few pairs of shoes that I saw in Charles & Keith catelogue but they have yet arrived (I ain't got that many shoes. The one I had are coming apart too). So gotta wait for a bit before I can get my hands on 'em. And the party bag tht I'd eyed ran out of stock (I needed the party bag 'cause mine worn off which I'd threw away in Bali and had yet found the replacement) =(

So I spend my weekend quietly. Well, compared to any other weekends it is actually pretty quiet. Friday wasn't any crazy. Just chillin at Social House with colleagues and a dare to dance on stage which was no sweat at all knowing how I am. Too bad the poles were removed as they had some show going on. We called it a night by 1 am. Satuday was spend sleeping in 'till noon. Followed by late lunch and a lil bit of shopping with Mummy dearest. In the night, had bbq seafood for dinner and was in bed by 11 pm. As for Sunday, went to a colleague's open house, spend half a day there before going to town for a lil bit of shopping and dinner. Now am just home trying to put my thoughts into words.
It's not tht I don't want to
It's just so hard to do
It's not tht I wanna be
But there's just nobody
I know I am capable to
But there's just no one
Even if there someone
I just can't bring myself to

So u thought the person I'd described in my previous entry was myself. It's actually this character from the novel "A Hopeless Romantic" which I'd just finished with. Sure I am a hopeless romantic (which I'd been told too) but as I'd finished with the book, I realised she's nothing like me. She'll fall in love with almost everyone. When she's with someone whom she thought was the one, she'll do whatever he wants even to the point of foresaking her own family, friends and job no matter if he got a gf. When she tried to turn over a new leaf, she'd become a miserable cow. Looking at everything in a negative way especially everyone else's romantic life. As for me, I knw I'm nothing like that. The book was a little bit too draggy 'cause of endless description about nothing. Sure she end up with her prince charming (who doesn't expect it?) but the ending was really abrupt. The books goes on and on about how she tried to forget this Marquess whom she met one summer while on holiday with her parents. She tried not to fall in love with him 'cause they are obviously from different world. He's one who's surrounded by wealth and glamourous people. Where else she's just, her, ordinary people with regular 9 to 5 job. She had nvr been to any high end parties where else he attend or even host them a lot. They'll bump to each other once or twice. Feelings will start coming back but denying it. Until the end when he'll turned up in her tiny flat professing his love for her, that he can't deny his feelings for her anymore and that was it. The end of the story... How I wished the book focused more on how they'd tried to make it work and less on her being a negative miserable selfish cow. It's happy ending never the less.

She's someone who loves to love. It don't matter if the one she loves don't love her back. She just loves to day dream about what it'll be like for them to be together. Believing every men she had ever been with was the one. When they break her heart, she loves the feeling of self pity to recovery. Singing sad love songs, watching sappy movies and crying silently on her pillow. Then she made a promise to herself. Never to foolishly, blindly or readily love a man just because he had been nice to her. This is not a Fairy Tale. Love at first sight don't exist. But fate is cruel. Life loves to play tricks. Just when she thinks she could throw her foolish old self away, she actually met her Prince Charming. Someone too good to be true. Someone whom her old self had been waiting for. To be ready to fall in love with. But her heart is now guarded. They shared a couple of intimate moments but she told herself it was just a casual thing. She hope it was a casual thing. She doesn't want to fall in love just to realised there's no happy ending again. He's not her Prince Charming she tried to convince. Maybe it's because she doesn't fit in his world. Her old self will be gushing about how he'll make her a real life princess. But she know in her heart she doesn't want all that. She just wants him for him and not his money. His social circle makes her feel out of place. She's not sure if he wants her for who she is or just a casual fling. She's not gonna take chances no more. It's an ice box where her heart once used to be. The beautiful memories kept in a box just like a dream. Let it stay that way. A beautiful memories that felt like a dream...

Back from breath taking Bali! Though short but it was truly amazing. Honestly, 4 days were barely enough! Did a lot of things in the very very short trip 'cause of Riny and Elizabeth well planning and contacts!
Day 1 - Destination Lovina Beach
Arrived in Bali at about 1pm. We hired a personal driver for the trip. We were lucky to have a handsome, nice, friendly and informative driver at a really cheap price! Our first stop was to have Nasi Pedas for lunch. One of the many dishes which is well known in Bali. It's like mixed rice vegetables but the chili were truly hot! Then, we head to souvenirs shop called Joger where they have lots of interesting stuff. After, 2 hours of Spa we then had Mie Bakso (another dish which Bali is famous for) for dinner before making our way to Lovina beach which took 2 hrs drive even when our driver skillfully overtake cars and swerve smoothly at every sharp corners. We stayed at Adirama which was at the beach front. The hotel room was fine but the cleaniness of the bed and bathroom is not quite up to standard yet. The breakfast was good compared to the rest of the hotels we stayed.
Day 2 - Dolphin spotting, snorkeling, shopping
Woke up at 5.30 am for dolphin spotting. We were hunting for the dolphin for about an hour before we finally spotted a school of them which was totally awesome view. We even managed to catch one of them doing a flip for us twice! It was jus a one time show right in front of us. The rest of the time they were just swimming gracefully to wherever they're heading to. There after, we went snorkeling where we spot lots of different fishy and a huge blue starfish!!! After Lovina Beach, we head down to Pura Tirta Empul which is a temple. Next was the traditional Balinese dance called Kecak. If u wanna know more info regarding the place mentioned pls google em 'cause I don't wanna be blogging too long though I can just copy and paste but u guys will be asleep not even half way through my blog. Dinner was at Jimbaran where we had seafood by the beach. We end the day by going to different clubs in Kuta. Riny and my personal favourite were this club called M Bar Go if I got the name right. We stayed in Nirmala Hotel at Jimbaran. Nice place. Cheap price 'cause Raf know the ppl there. Clean bed and bathroom which is the most important thing but the buffet style breakfast ain't tht great.
Day 3,
Went for rafting which was fun I must admit though am really scared of water and forested area. The journey was 12 km which thank god we don't have to do much paddling but couldn't say the same for the guide who did all the work. We were knackered by the end of the journey where we were wet too 'cause the guys from the other rafts decided to splash water at us. Talked abt bullying us ladies! We then had to climbed about I dunno I lost count of the steps which felt like a hundred. Imagine, we were at the bottom of the river and we had to climb up, up and away to the top of the mountain. Okay maybe 1/4 of the way but it was some real climbed after the trecherous rafting! Alright it wasn't trecherous not when we did nothing but still the climbed was something! Wait 'till u try it! After rafting, we head to Denpasar for some souvenirs shopping before dinner. By then, it was pretty late about midnight before Riny and I decided to go back to M Bar Go to continue clubbing from the night before. We stayed at Aquarius hotel at Kuta which I rank second among the 3 other hotels the price is cheap too 'cause of driver's recommendation. But they don't provide any toiletries. Breafast was not that good either but is better compared to Nirmala's.
Day 4,
Is my last day. Attempt at extending my stay failed time and again. When in Sg, it was due to extra charges. When in Bali, it was because I was a day late, long story. Woke up real early at abt 8 am despite the fact we only got back to hotel at 4 am. We even managed to swim before we had our breakfast and attempted to shop. Bought nothing 'cause I found nothing suitable to buy for anyone even myself. Was sent to the airport at 11 30 am and reached Sg safe and sound about 1 pm.

1 day and 11 hours to go. I'll be in another city hopefully enjoying the sand, sun and sea. Jus got me so excited and to think I've yet to pack. I'll be darn if I forget any necessities though I can easily buy it there, I hope. But I'm always thinking, how will it be if the trip was with someone I love. Not tht I don't enjoy going on a holiday with friends. Just tht, a romantic get away with the one you love is really meaningful and unforgettable. Again, not that trips with friends are forgetable and non memorable. Is jus hard to describe. Perhaps is because I nvr did have a trip with my any of my exes. But I'd always imagine how it'll be like. It could be hell or heaven. Hell 'cause u found out all his bad habits which you hate. Heaven 'cause is so romantic, jus the two of you sharing every moment together getting to know each other better, falling in love all over again. Sigh... I'm being a hopeless romantic again. And I happen to find a book with the exact title, "Hopelessly Romantic" which I had borrowed from the library and planned to take it with me to be read on the plane.
At work, there's just so much to do. 'Cause am cramping a week works into 3 days. Hopefully tmr, there won't be others job to focus on but my own. So tht I could finish work on time, gym, buy travelling necessities and then head home to focus on packing.
If u love to love
Y don't u do jus that
I love to love
But no one is giving me the chance
