Life.

Hi, oh wells a little cold.

Hellllo! It sounds a little more close now? I hope. So I am lying on my bed, trying to pen down every thoughts I have right now. Feeling a little bit down, negative and depressed.

Life is like a roller coaster for me lately, and if you don't know, I hate roller coaster even though I've skydived. Everything is taking a toll on me, I hope and wish that the headaches I am having will end soon. Please, please let me have a good sweet dreams tonight.

Work has started for me 2 months ago during late June. This job has provided me with a lot of opportunities to learn, to explore, to be creative and more. Technically, it is my awesome dream job. Just... something went wrong. I have been trying to adapt to the work environment, the people, the life and everything. But something just went wrong, and I wasn't really sure what is it. I hope I can figure it out and solve it soon.

Another thing which is bothering me is today I saw something which I shouldn't have seen. I don't know if its the truth or a lie, but I choose to believe its the truth. While showering, I had a train of thoughts running in my mind. "what if it was a lie?" "what if it was the truth?". In the end, I had chosen  this thought, "I don't know what the future may bring, so I choose to pave the journey ahead. I don't know what the next second might bring, so I will choose every single choices I have to be happy. Because in life, I have a great family that loves me and a long adventure which have yet to happen. That's sufficient to look forward to life."

I think, everyone will come to a stage where people have different needs, wants, desire and wishes. Humans are never satisfied with what they have, when we have a pilot pen, we crave for a mont blanc pen. But once we own the mont blanc, we think of pilot pens because 1.) it is cheaper. 2.) we can throw away as and when we want it to.

But honestly, what are the things which people really need? Love? Family? Money? Friends?

I always belief that, when you stay be someone's side when he/she is at the lowest point of their life, they should keep you close to their heart. But today, I understood that it might be true to a certain level. Perhaps when I feel I am truly unappreciated, that's when I should leave. It wouldn't be healthy for me, and the people involved in it. But for now, I choose to be alone. To find solitude, to find who I really am. Because I believe I deserve something/someone better :)

Alright,  will update this space soon again!

Ending this post with a quote which I've been reminding myself:

Valentine's Day

Like any other couples, OB and I went to celebrate 情人节(Valentine's day).
A little hyped, but I love occasions like such.

Not sure about anyone... But I love roses a lot. Kept this petals and they're laid beautifully in my bedside table now ;D

Thank you, love. So glad to receive this... HE GOT ME SAKURA CHARMS WHICH I AM IN LOVE WITH!!! 

And no.. I am not going to spend crazy amount of money to get cute charms, hence I am going to theme it as "pink & adventurous journey".

Moving on, we had our dinner at Mariners' Corner.

Bill came up to about $90+ for salads, lobster bisque, 1 main, oysters, escargots, chicken wings and a piece of cake.

Thought it was priced reasonably even when it is V'day. 

The ambience was GREAT. I felt really cosy and warming that day. 

Not only for its environment, the food is..... FANTASTIC. 

 

All of the dishes were my favourite. Definitely a MUST-ORDER. You've got to try lobster bisque! I promise you, it's not a let-down! Remember... Order a bowl each, no sharing! ;D

Bintan 2014!

Hello! I have been away for quite awhile as I am mainly lazy to update my site. However, since I am having a week's holiday why not I share about my recent trip to Bintan? I know... I have yet to share my Hong Kong trip since last year. But I'll fill it up another day HAHA.

PS: I cannot understand how other bloggers pen down their weekly activities when they're so packed with activities/work. Wished I am more productive like sacrificing my sleep for my blog. But.... I can't. Haha!!

We took a ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Bintan Resort. It cost us $70/pax as it was peak period. Journey to Bintan was disastrous. It was a rocky ride, the very first time I faced people puking on board. I was sleeping throughout the trip hence it didn't affect me. However, the sound... and smell was awful for me. There were at least 30% of people on board puking.. So, if you are one whom is sea-sick, I highly warn you to bring your sea-sick pills and sweets. You never know when the wind might be blowing against your route ;D

Next, we checked in to our room. Booked Bintan Lagoon Resort! It is a private area(I think) and the beach is just right outside our room! I love it. Spend some time here studying while OB is taking his nap. The only bad thing is... I got attacked by a snake and it hissed me. But I was quick to react hence nothing happened. Haha! I ran into the room and joined OB to nap in the end.

 Had lunch at the golf area and my bowl of mee goreng cost $16SGD excluding 20% tax. 

Goodness... I told OB I will lick my bowl clean or else I will be wasting money!! HAHA

Spent some time by the pool studying as the next day I have an exam. OB was sun tanning all the way until I asked him to join me at the pool. Haha

We got bored and played with the balls.. Seriously! Lifeguard initially told me it's FOC. But when OB came, he said $8!! Tsk tsk. I got no choice but to pay $8. But it is worth the money la... We had a straining exercise in the pool hahaha

When you thought you can walk on the water, 

 You fall... HAHAHA

OB did really well by balancing in the waters for quite awhile! HEH 

After which, we went for a massage and food. It was great but I didn't took any pictures. 

Then, we went to sing for an hour before we went to bed. :)

Next morning, we had our breakfast provided by the hotel. 

Food is relatively good and it was fresh! 

After which we went for another tanning session and hit the beach for some pictures before going back to Singapore. Current was big, saw a number of surfers surfing there. ^^

Dress available on backorder at www.joifeth.com

PS: I love this picture a lot! It is a candid shoot. HEH I got a good photographer

It marks the end of our trip. Overall, it is a pleasure trip. If you are looking for food, I highly recommend you to Pasar OLEH OLEH for seafood/local food as hotel food is exorbitant. And like everyone said, buy water at the ferry terminal!!

Okay, that's about it. Will pen down the rest of my Hong Kong trip by this week! Can't wait to share :D

Love,

Jiaxin

Welcoming 2014!

As we're crossing 2014, I'd like to share some significant moments which happened to me in the past year.

OB and I went to Le nest since none of friends were free to celebrate and I don't want to club. So we ended up drinking 2 bottles of martell with the 3 of us.. when was the last time I consumed alcohol? I think it was more than months back.. Nevertheless, I had fun recovering my hangover during new year.

Like what OB always say, beh lim don't come too early.. I guess that day we were all pretty sure who surrender first(look at the pics). Lol 

What I wore that day. Dress from love, bonito.

---------

On a side note, here's what I have been playing with lately. 

It is so adorable isn't it! 

Especially love the sheep and craftholic. 

Oh yes, before I forgot OB actually gifted me a note 3 during Christmas. :-') 

And I absolutely adore it so much! The battery life is really good for a user like me. Heh. But the wifi breakdown on me ALWAYS.

Before I end, I should probably end it with a thank you note. 

It is a transition year for me this year, I've gained nothing but an abundance of joy, love, experience and knowledge this year. 

Firstly, I am officially a driver now. As much as I hate that my seats is a driver, I do love the position where I am now ;) 

Secondly, last year I travelled quite a fair bit. I got the chance to travel with my mum on an occasion where both of us went to Bangkok. During my bday, ob and I also travelled to Hong Kong with my parents :-') 

Thirdly, my family also helped me with the birth of Joifeth. It has let me grew stronger, wiser and definitely it has bond OB and I closer. :-'))) 

Lastly, it is skydiving. It is one of the most precious memories I kept till date. One of the experience where I will never forget about.

With OB,  it was nothing but a learning journey together. 

One of the things we love to do were -travelling. 

As much as I love to shop like any women.. I love gaining experiences more than shopping. 

Which is also why I am thankful OB enjoys it as well. :-') 

This year we went to Bangkok, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and more.. 

All of which were expensive experiences to me.. and if u were to ask me what do I want, it is probably a ticket to which I want to go. 

Personally, I believe/like things that are physical.. but as I am writing this, all I am craving for is adventure. HAHA. 

And no, travelling for work and holidays are different. For work, I can never share experiences with my loved ones. I can't travel further up to different town learning about their cultures, so I am now... saving every single cent and wanting to bring OB to one of his desired places. Hahaha! 

Okay... so anyway all I want to say is.. 

Thank you everyone. I'd like to thank every single one whom is involved in my 2013 life. Each and everyone plays an important role in my life. I wish you prosperity, happiness, joy and may this gains us all knowledge. 

Love,

Jiaxin.
