As the clock ticks away, we are getting closer to the new year. Have you fulfill what you want in 2012 and are there any regrets?
Looking back in 2012, my major change was the update of my FB status from "single" to "married". Married life has been good ~ I have a walking ATM and a 24hr x 7 days chauffeur! LOL. Well, other than the "materialistic" benefits, it does feel more assuring knowing that there will always be someone supporting you when making major decisions. Hey, that's why the song - Two Is Better Than One ( a popular wedding songs by Taylor Swift + Boys Like Girls)
Come next year, it will also be an exciting year as we will get our keys to our loft! Yeah, time to "fulfill" a little dream of mine! I have considered interior design as a career however given up as the practical side got the better of me. *Shrugged*
Next year holiday plans have been confirmed ~ Jeju/Seoul/HK and Shenzhen (so look out for my travel posts)! Probably going for a staycation too and if I manage to get the company's chalet, yup, another chalet stay with friends.
It was my gal fren's Hen Party and we decided to hire a striptease in the name of fun, nothing sensual. We just wanted to have a good laugh and made it a memorable gathering other than just having drinks and games.
Anyway, so I hired this 'Ken' striptease, who made us waited from 10pm - 2am! He simply just MIA without any good explanation. Fine if he decided to chicken out, but he should be responsible enough to tell us earlier! Grrr
Our sms exchange (me in pink font and the striptease in blue font. Do not comment on the grammer & spelling! Com'on, its sms =p):
10.16pm: Are u reaching soon? One of my frens needs to go off
10.24pm: Hi I'll be pretty late for tonight. How about 12am? So sorry about the change. Let me know again. Thks, Ken!
Attended a collaboration event between Nuffnang and Swarovski today, which was exciting coz I got to bring home a DIY Swarovski necklace home.... Freeeee! Keke
All I did is just register myself on the website and gave a reason why I wanted to attend the workshop. Easy right? Guess I was lucky too, coz only 15 bloggers were chosen! Thanks Nuffnang!
Okay, let me start off with a little background on Swarovski. There are basically 2 arms ~ one arm is the finished consumer goods where you can buy ready products off the shelves. The other arm is the loose crystals where you can flaunt your creativity by creating your very own unique jewellaries!
For convenience sake, we bought the OMNIA Ticketwhich offers the following:
- Free metro transport
- Vatican city pass - Roma Christian open buses
- Audio guide
- Access to Coliseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and more...
And guess what? The metro was down when we were in Roma! Grrr... Ok, there was free shuttle buses, but it was so packed and the ventilation was poor, making travelling around less pleasant. Anyway, we managed to visit most of the must-visit sites, despite going back to the B&B in the afternoon to keep ourselves cool with the air-con. =p
Here goes!
