Recent Happenings

Some interesting things I did/happened/happening in my life recently:


#1. My 25th Birthday

I'm a quarter of century old now! And my birthday was quite memorable as it fell on 20-11-2011! Aha yes! The date where LOTS of people are getting married (My parents received 5 wedding invitations on the 19th November itself, and a few more on the 20th). And it was so ngam because...well, the date was nice, and I turned 25. An age which can be said like one of the milestones in life, no?

I flew back to Jakarta for my birthday and Mochi joined me as well! :D
We had a fun time eating and eating and eating!! *More pics on this once I've got them from my mom and dad's cameras*


And I got to meet up with my best girls for makan session!! <3 <3 <3

Presents-wise, not much. The best one was from my parents for paying my ticket to Shanghai in October 2011 (damn! I haven't blogged about this as well).


#2. Staying at Royal Plaza on Scotts for two nights.

With Dania. Okay, it's actually one of her regular visits to SG, and as what we usually do, I stayed over at her hotel for 2 nights. This time was at Royal Plaza on Scotts (normally she would stay at Meritus Mandarin). It was my second time staying there.

The Xmas deco at Royal Plaza this year is so cute!! With Jollyland as the theme, I love the whole deco and idea! Basically I just like those kind of deco with sweets and colourful things all over:

And breakfast at McDonald's Shaw Centre. Our first time there:

#3. Christmas deco at Orchard Rd.

I've always loved the Christmas deco at Orchard Rd. The bright lights, pretty Christmas trees, the joyful feeling, and not forgetting the Christmas Sale! December really is one of my favourite months!

Look at these pretty lights and trees! Don't you feel happy just by looking at them? (Well, at least I do).

The one in front of Shaw Centre

Paragon's!! I love the toy horses! 

Braun Buffel :D

Tiffany & Co's! Not sure whether they make it an annual thing to set up Christmas trees at Orchard Rd., but they did it last year as well.

This year's theme was more to metallic matte. Last year's was more shiny and blu-ish.

Oohhh I love these giant snow globes in front of ION!! 

Especially this one! Heehee..don't you just love the cute snowman? XD

ION did something unique this year. They created a Christmas tree with an observation deck 10m above the ground. Free to go up there, but I haven't got the chance to go until now.

Macarons Christmas tree at Canele! Such a sweet tree.

Taken from a bus, hence the dirty spots on the top right -_-

Takashimaya's Teddy Bear Christmas Tree. They did this last year as well, with different coloured bears.

#4. Some random things happening in Singapore:


- Twilight Car. HAHAHAHAHA Please don't ruin the Volvo...

- Cute giant Maybelline Volum Express mascara:

- Elephant Parade!

Elephant Parade is the world's largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation. So for the time being, you will find a lot of nicely decorated elephant statues all around Orchard and the surrounding.

These are some of my favourites:

The Angry Bird that everyone loves!

Paul Frank!!

They actually made the gems in 3D. Dunno what kind of material did they use. 

Constellation! (or at least that's how I look at it :p)

- 2 for 3 Sour Sally!

Being Sour Sally fans, Cynthia and I were delighted when we found out about their 2-for-3 promo yesterday. We were so full after our dinner at Botak Jones and we just wanted to have a cup each (Medium size, of course!) but we decided to get the 2-for-3 promo. Basically we need to buy 1 Medium and 1 Small sizes in order to be eligible for the free 3rd cup. They actually allows you to choose either the Small or Medium cup for the free one (but no toppings)! So the plain white yoghurt with no topping s was our free cup. We regret our decision after awhile coz damn we were so full! But happy =9

So those were some happenings in my life recently. Most probably gonna write about my Taiwan (Gosh! It's been almost a year!) and Shanghai trips ;)

Twilight Fever on Brandsfever

Saw this on brandsfever 2 days ago:

Hahahahahaahaha omg are you serious? Comforter and pillow cases?!

Okay, sorry Twilight supporters, don't throw tomatoes at me okay? It's just coz I was never a Twilight fan. Watched the first movie, but I've never been hooked, not even a bit.Hehehehehe...

My photos are back!!!

I finally managed to get my photos back from my external hdd that I accidentally-reformatted last year! Yes, last year, you got it right. Stupid me transferred ALL photos into my then brand new baby mac, without realizing that a lot of them were actually not transferred (just folders with empty contents).

I really felt like crying the moment I realized that! My precious photos!! My photos in Beijing (none was saved. NONE!), my photos in Malaysia, etc etc etc. T___________T

Tried 2 recovery software and to no avail. I finally tried Data Recovery 3 that I bought in Jakarta last year, and voila! I got most of my photos back! Yeayyyyyyyyyyyyy!! *dancing in joy*

Ok, some of them are actually damaged T_______T #heartbreak

So instead of normal pictures, they look like these:

Eh, but somehow it's kind cool, huh? Like those '3D' image where you need to concentrate on those kind of patterns til you are able to see some images in it (which I've never been successful of doing) :p


Ohh..and some of them (read: a lot) look like they came out of Lomo cameras:

Hahahahaha... effortless lomo shots. I think it's even nicer than the pictures I snapped with my Blackbird #seriousface

Okay, lesson learnt: Do NOT reformat your External HDD. Go get a new one, lah!

But nevertheless, I'M HAPPY to get my photos back!!! :D :D :D

I shall continue to rob beg my friends for other photos.

Rise and fall

This is true.

Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for hours and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won't judge you. This person is your soulmate, your best friend. Don't ever let them go.

You are 66!

Today is 17 August, 2011.

Today, Indonesia celebrates its' 66th birthday.


So, before the day ends, I'd just wanna say..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY COUNTRY! 

Hope there will be less corruption, much less crime, less natural disaster, less traffic jam, and less everything bad.

Though I am not a patriotic citizen (I am not really THAT nationalist), I still love you despite everything that have happened.
