从出江湖

Hello! I'm back. Long time no blog and many things to update, but where should I start...

The last 2 months have been an eventful one. First and foremost I finally made a trip to Seoul to meet up with Sis dearest. We spent a good 8 days in Seoul and Jeju and Andrea joined us for the weekend in Seoul. An advice from yours truly, there's no need to visit all the palaces, all you need is just one ticket to the Grand Palace and it's show hand. The weather was good except in Jeju where it rained for 1.5 days out of the 3-day trip. Nevertheless, I'm happy as I stayed at the Hyatt Regency where BOF shooting took place and, most importantly, I saw the chapel where Goo Jun Pyo almost said his wedding vow..... but the bride wasn't Jandi.... Otherwise food was good and the shopping was even better if not for my limited luggage space. It sounds crazy but I kind of miss Myeongdong - it is truly a shopping paradise day or night.

Next up I joined hubby in HK where I spent 2 days "exploring" the city while he was hard at work. Visited most of the malls and my best purchases are from none other than H&M. I wonder what is it about Singapore that they are not spreading their wings to this part of the globe yet? I'm still waiting. Spent a day in Macau and I'm quite sure I won't be back for a long time. Nothing impressive to say the least. Of course no trip is completed without good food. Sadly, we only got to experience decadent local cuisine at the final hours of our trip, last 4 hours to be exact. On the day of departure we headed out to Central before checking out and chanced upon a roast meat shop that was visited by Anthony Bourdain and so we had to give it a try. The roast meat didn't blow us away but their charsiew roasted to near perfection with the right balance of lean and fatty meat was satisfying. Just when we thought we are kind of contented another HK cafe caught our attention, and glad it did because they are suppose to be a hot favorite among the locals and even our very own Anna (FM 100.3) and Bryan Wong did a feature on their famous milk tea and toast. It was fantabulous!

My professional life has been least interesting until a month ago. I'm not going to elaborate on the details except that I'm glad alls well ends well. Fingers crossed!

Oh yes, this I have to mention. We finally put out act together and gave our walls a much deserved fresh coat of paint. Bade farewell to neutral tones and replaced it with shades of purple and grey. And, no more gold wall, silver reigns.

Before I forget. Note to Mr. Goh Cher Chay; I look forward to receiving your comment(s). Having difficulties locating the source? It's on the left bottom of each blog entry. Give me a call if you still can't find. I'll be more than happy to assist you my dear friend : )
