The Adventure of Haw Par Villa

Just as i thought the outing is going to be cancelled due to poor response, im glad Tat suggested that we go ahead without the rest... So the three of us proceeded and Peggy who did not want to be labelled as 'lighbulb' volunteered to be our photographer.

The place is quite run down - only a few people and not much maintainence done. However, there is a cafeteria or rather canteen (with limited food) - at least for people like us to take a rest and also quench our thirst.

Admission is free except for the "10 Courts of Hell"... $1 for adults and $0.50 for children below 12.

For those who havent been there (before or for a long time), here's the images for viewing:

Welcome to Haw Par Villa!!

Then we took some FUN shots...

Then it was fighting the tigers!!

Visiting the 10 Courts of Hell; we did not take any pictures inside because it's dark and i thought it's not very nice to take pictures of people suffering. The below is taken before we entered the gates and it's also my favourite shot for the day:

Tat and I decided that we shall blow up this picture for our new house:

~Isnt it meaningful?~

We met up with Lily after the adventure and had dinner at Lot 1 - Wan Chai Cafe. Everyone ordered food that was delicious except Me... Mine was so-so only... So sad!! Lucky there was chicken wings that saved the meal!

Went shopping at Cotton On where Lily and i bought a long cardigan!! Hers had a discount due to the colour and i had to pay full price for a black piece....*How could they do this to me? :( *

Anyway, we ended the day at Kbox - Jurong East where we screamed at the top of our lungs!!! Quite expensive but it was Wonderful "opening our throats"... havent done it for the longest time!! *SHIOK!*

Conclusion: It was a great day especially now that i look at the photos and see that i STILL look good in Sunglasses *have chunked it aside for very long* and im still an outdoor photogenic person!!! Yippie!! And i love this Esprit blouse!! Haha...

A week has passed again

Oh... last week was a stressful one, thus leaving me no time to blog.

While i need to handle the news (that i can only break next week) emotionally & psychologically, im also rushing to run the July Promotion... (with many many hiccups too!)

Anyway, let's see some interesting pictures of the week:

20 June:
Went to Brewerks @ Riverside Point with Nikki, Erin, Julian, Lily, Peggy and Tat. They ordered a tower of STOUT and that got most of them tipsy!! Hehe... Lucky i ordered Cosmopolitan (pic below) and Lily had her Strawberry Margarita. ~CHEERS!~

Oh then the lousy week begins with hectic work:

25 June 08:
Spend half the day at a photo studio. The shoot was not about pretty and beautiful faces but rather FOOD... We even had a food stylist whose job is to dress up the items and add colours to make them look Appetizing!!!

Let's see if she succeeded:

Seems easy but it's very time consuming!! I'll post the full ad once it's out on 2 July 08. Stay Tuned!!

27 June:
Everyone seems to have a program and so it created an opportunity for me and Tat to go on a date.

Before we met, i was shopping at Robinsons (there's additional 20% for OCBC Cardmembers!!!) and i spotted a bag... It's the similar type of bag i have been aiming lately... (i was inspired by the LV version actually but...) This one cost $200++ and im thinking really hard if i should buy it...


We went to Mint Cafe and the food is Great!!! Both the chicken and the tenderloin steak taste great. The chef is a perfectionist that he re-did my steak when he realised that it was slightly over medium. The only minus factor is that you need to bear with the slight smell on your body after you leave the restaurant.

After dinner, we walked all the way to Emily Hill - Wild Oats for a drink... Here's the full address and you can visit this website for their pictures:

Tat ordered fruit beer with 8.5% alcohol content while i took the sangria. What could not be missing was CHICKEN WINGS!!! ~YummY~

And that ends the week with a good night sleep (Due to the alcohol)....

Life is Full of Changes

Just last week i was planning the activities for the upcoming weeks...but it seems that some of them will not happen...

• Firstly i din visit my cousin during the weekend... We actually went over on a weekday.
• Im still thinking if i want to proceed for the Haw Par Villa outing... Hmmm, KIV!
• BATAM Trip... As much as i wish to go with Tat for a relaxing massage, i may not be able to due to unforseen circumstances........ “Missed it by that much…” - Agent 86, Get Smart.

答案即将揭晓

• 12 July - Malacca Trip... Still deciding if i should leave Tat alone in Singapore for the trip...Hmmm, what a dilemma!!
• 13 July - It's Clarence's Birthday!! I shall go search for his birthday present this week!! Obviously it's going to be Barney or 叮当 related!!

Despite the plans, im not sure which of it will fall through... Let's hope everything goes well and there are no more hiccups at school!!!

Upcoming...

The following weekends are really tight... It's almost full and i really dunno if i should be happy or not.

HAPPY! because it's full of activities and it would sure be lots of FUN..

UN-HAPPY! because i have so many assignments to do... If i go out to play then i have NO time for the written...

*Haiz!! *What a headache!*

Anyway, let's see what we've got:

21June08: Plan to visit my cousin's new home and at the same time gather some concepts BUT assignment due 23 June!!! Arghhhh....

28 June08: If Tat has no plans, we will be going to Haw Par Villa!!! Yeah... and i plan to make it a group outing if possible.

5 July08: *YEAH!!* Batam trip... It's company's retreat and we are going there for our spa and massage... *Relax*
~Apologies to Mr K as Tat will not be able to attend your wedding. But his Ang Pow will SURE ARRIVE!~

Again, all Sundays are for myself!!! It's Beautify Me Day...

Dedicated to Me, Myself & Korina

This is my 100th blog entry and im dedicating it to myself for being a Pretty Girl, a wonderful girlfriend and a Crazy Me...

*Wahaha*(Just being myself)

As a reward to the readers and myself, i proudly present the "Thousand Faces of Korina":

Left column: 喜怒哀乐

Middle Column: 五连拍 + some cute shots (for the big pic, i only wanted to show off my belt...*kekeke*)

Right column: Intentional shots from the toilet!!! *wahahahaha*

Captions for toilet shots:

1. Oh!! You are the culprit + Kiss for you...

2. NahNahNah BooBoo + Hmmm, let me think!

3. Ooppps...Nearly exposed! + Hey You! Stop there!

~Of course it doesnt contain a thousand images as i would have gone numb if i took a thousand shots!!!

Disclaimer: These photos were taken while waiting for the event to begin...im not eating snake in office!!!~

Fly Fly into the Sky

Oh... We finally utilised the complimentary ticket to Singapore Flyer... If not for the expiry date in June, we probably would have waited for IR to be completed before visiting it.

Decided to go in the afternoon so that it's bright enough for photography... Didnt want to see skylight... Prefer to see facade!!! *Hehe*

Anyway, headed straight to Singapore Flyer after a House-warming session and i must say it's a wonderful trip!! ~FLY~

*Here we go*

I kind of like the place (not only the capsule)... the structure is good with mixture of greenery and commercial shopping for consumers. And i took SO many photos (as if i was in New York... haha) and I definitely didnt regret going in the afternoon... We even bought the simulated background photo from them!!!

Here are some combined shots... Still many more for posting but Im tired of the cut and paste process... Look out from friendster... Maybe i'll post the interesting ones there :p

*Beautiful Shots*

Also, we tried Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits and sad to say we didnt quite enjoy it though... Perhaps it's true that only the airport one is good or we were still full.. Somehow we still prefer KFC and i thought it tasted more like a combination of KFC and A & W (for the fries)...

~ 2pc chicken set meal @ $6.90~

Finale shot before I left for work... *Though we were standing behind a glass, i really think the frame would make a perfect picture with the orchids...Too bad there was reflections!!*

Weekly Updates... So many things yet no time to blog!!

To cut the story short and simple as we are all busy people, here's what happened between 8 June - 13 June 08!!!

8 - 10 June 08:
Nothing special happened except rushing for my assignment!!! Argghhhh.... So irritating!! It's getting on my nerves when i have nothing to write. As i start to squeeze my brain juice, i end up exceeding the number of words and i have to go through the "cutting of words process"... *Haiz!!*

Then we received an email indicating that there is an extension of deadline as the lecturer wants us to read the comments for the first assignment before submission of the second... Deadline postponed to 17 June... ~Should i be happy???~ (actually no because i want to get it off my mind as soon as possible)

11 June 08:
Had dinner with Peggy at Jurong East and i found something that i have been looking for - Capsule Machine in a Capsule Machine!!!

Of all the silly capsules that i see, im only fascinated by these miniature ones and they must be from Disney (not too interested if it's the other characters). ~So happy~

But im still thinking if i want to waste money to collect all.. Maybe not since it's just something cute that i want to have 1 for the fun of it only!!

12 June 08:
Found another interesting thing... Recommended by one of my colleagues.. Wrist rest in a bread shape and the thing is, it smells, looks and feels like a REAL Bread!!! Even the fillings inside looks real... Someone's maid actually cut open the bread to eat it!!! *Goodness*

Interesting!!!

Available @ Action City - $4.95 each (Retail Price)

13 June 08:
Met up with Lily to get one of Tat's wives' present (Number 4 i think)... And we had dinner at Coffee Club - Paragon. Nothing special about the dinner but the chill-out session was fun.

Went to Que Pasa for its Red Sangria... Nice!!! Plus the chicken wings, it's heavenly!!


And we call it a week after all the activities!!! *Tired*
