Happy Halloween?

It's the end of the month. I've seriously lost track of time. Working late nights and weekends seem to be the only schedule lately. My mind has been filled with nothing but work. Pathetic huh? i know this is bad but I've been under a whole lot of pressures lately. Coping with the new challenges, the higher expectations and a whole lot of responsibilities. Sometimes, you just wish that your bosses are merciful enough to give you some space to breathe though you can never escape those pressures from them. I guess I've been pushing myself too hard.

Is this really what I want to do in life? Can I really do this? I'm tired.

Yes, i'm feeling rather melancholic right now but i will be fine. I guess it's time for me to take some time off before i find myself worn-out. I need to be still. I need YOUR strength.

Well, that aside. The bright side? The belated dinners! ( i'm not complaining ;p )

The first dinner that made my week was the ultimate birthday dinner.
Thank you for taking the effort to cook! The awesome night filled with not only the complete 3 course dinner (appetizer, pasta and the mouthwatering mini steak!) but also with the jazz performance at alexis after that. Yes, I met jeff from 98 degree!
This was probably the best pressie that a 23 could ever ask for.
you know who you're (:

The second dinner? The halloween cum birthday dinner. Zul, thank you for bringing me to this unique place not only it was filled with a whole bunch of creepy "ghosts" but the place was also equip with a live band. i didn't know "pontianak-s" could sing and play the drum!

That basically sums up the past two weeks. Oh, it's halloween today. ( though i hardly care)

So, happy halloween?

The hot Atilia & the jazz band. Alexis

October Feast! (:

Yes, it's the time of the year again. Nope, it's not what you think. This is our version of "October Feast", things are pretty much similar except for the beer part which was replaced by Tony Roma's ice lemon tea (:

In case some of you didn't know, the 5 of us came about this " october feast" thing due to our birthdays which happen to fall in the same month! practically, a few days gap from each other. Looks like October is a great month to get "busy" :P

History of our october feast :

2006: Buffet, Equtorial Hotel
2007 : Chilis, 1 Utama
2008 : Tony Roma's, Cineleisure.

The "peeps" :

Soly ( the tai kor) : 2/10
John Tan. D : 4/10
Lionel Thien : 6/10
Rebecca Lee : 7/10
Grace Goh : 10/10

It was indeed fun celebrating together for 3 years now. Geez, time flies.

Anyway, this year lionel couldn't join us as he's been assigned to be in Germany for a month! man, that's so fun. I wish my company would send me to places like that too :(

So, lionel, this post is dedicated to you. Yup, you missed the fun and the best part of all, the awesome food! *drools* the ribs! HAHA!

The ribs!

The cheesy chicken. Yummy!

The ultimate steak!





Irresistible!

p/s: Blessed 23 babe!* hugs*

23.

22+1. With a blink of the eye, 23 years have past me by. Without realizing, my life has sped past me just like a bullet train. Just like that. It seems like yesterday.

I''ve always wonder how it feels like to be 23. Does that mean i'm a little wiser now? Or perhaps a little mature? 23, you're neither here nor there. you're caught in the middle.

At 23, i'm contented and loved. Not that i wasn't loved for the other years but this year, it's extra special. I have to say you peeps, yes, you, have add frills to my years. Thank you for all the advance wishes. Probably you were more excited than I am! Nonetheless, i'm touched. Really. I was blessed to have eaten so many dinners and cakes this year! argh, now you know where i got those extra pounds.

Despite that, i'm more than blessed!

I'm thankful for those 23 years of joy, laughter, hurt, pain, and tears.

What I am today is by YOUR grace.

My life is surrounded with love, with people like you:-

Blessed 24th birthday! (:
(oh, go choose a bag too! :P )



p.s. To the babe who's having the time of her life in California, blessed birthday to you too! (:

She's 6.

I was practically amused and amazed by my little 6 years old couzie today. Yes, she's 6 yet she cries when her mom got her a short hair cut which i think she still look gorgeous and she sings to "Low" by T-pain.

"She hit da floor, next time you know, shwaty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low"
How cool is that? No, i wasn't pulling your legs but yes, she sang to "low" and that's her favourite song for now. To add on to that, she owns a handphone with that ringtone! Gosh, at 6?! I guess they are growing up too fast. Perhaps, i'm growing old-ER?

I remembered back then at 6, i was still playing with dolls, "masak-masak" and my favourite song was probably barney's "i love you". Look, how kids nowadays evolved. They are learning things real fast. For all you know in years to come, probably there wouldn't be Humpty Dumpty anymore. Poor Mr. Humpty Dumpty would be replace by Mr. T-pain.

It's probably the 'kiasu' environment that we live in and the growing media.Poor kindergarden teachers nowadays, they must be tired of catching up with those kids' fast pace. Back then, teachers were probably tired of chasing monkeys like us who run around.
i love kids. i really do and my ultimate ambition besides being a rich 'tai tai' is to open a kindergarden. i guess there's a lot for me to learn from those little ones.

She's 6, my fave couzie <3

Want one?

Bags.You can never get enough of them. Can you?

What do you think about this bag? Saw this bag from a website posted in a blog and i immediately love it! Brown classy, just perfect to go with any outfit.

This bag is from handbagplanet.com. Never heard of them? That's because they are officially launching their site on the 15th of this month, which they are also giving out 24 bags within 24 hours with conjunction of their launch."High fashion handbags without the high price". Interesting huh? It's amazing to see how new brands launch their marketing gimmicks nowadays. No more traditional advertisement tools but by using the miracle of web version 2.0, you get someonelse to do the marketing for you.

Nonetheless, i'm trying to vie for this bag. Well, who knows? This could be a perfect gift for my coming 23rd! *hint* :P
so, why not log on to http://www.handbagplanet.com/ and grab one too! (:


p/s: blessed birthday soly! go choose a bag!(:
