happy halloween!

the only ghostly fun i had was making fun of Sissy when i absentmindedly walked towards the backseat when Sissy picked me up alone....

S: what are u doing?? why did u reach for the backseat door instead?? its just me and u!
Q: LOL oh i thought i saw someone at the front passenger seat. wooooooo~~~~~~~~

LOLOLOL.

hehe some halloween chocolates i came across in Bruges.

friend: OMFG i just saw this not-very-young lady from the financial reporting team at the office pantry, she is wearing an orange toga with spider web leggings! she said the outfit is for halloween and i was thinking to myself "yeah, i really got a fright".

LOLOL~

and my totally cute toyboy in Halloween mode too. awwwwwwwww cant wait for u to be back, baby~~~~

hope u had more ghostly fun than me!

learnt in AMS #1 - Aamsterdaam

did you know that Amsterdam is pronounced as aahhm-ster-daahhm? Ehhhm-ster-dehhhm is like American pronounciation, i believe.

caught this when the Dutch hotel staff and tour guides pronounce Dam Square as Daahhm Square. keke.

this is the Daam Square. haha sounds bit vulgar though.

my doppelgänger

we were chilling at the Anne Frank House Cafe

enjoying this view

when i saw my doppelgänger! haha she has the same hair as me and she is Asian too! lols.

im not the only one who thinks that, when i uploaded that photo on Facebook

Facebook grouped her and me together to tag as the same person! wahahaha. think she is Japanese though.

ams chinatown

Chinatown in Amsterdam....

is really no different from home. which is why i dont like to visit Chinatowns when im overseas. i have been to enough Chinatowns overseas to know that all Chinatowns are the same! why visit a place that looks like home when im on a short vacation overseas?

anyways, this one i passed by as part of my Amsterdam walking tour, so not really by choice haha.

they have a temple there that looks exactly like our Taoist temple! uber weird~

if u are going to travel with me on F&E and im planning the itinerary, trust me, we wont go Chinatown unless neccesary! LOL~

the 虾面 joke continues

S: 昨晚在我女朋友家过夜，我妈不高兴.  *pauses*  aiya 肚子痛，可能是刚才吃的虾面太辣
R: 你吃谁的虾面太辣
Q: 他岳母的虾面
R: ohhh 难怪他妈不高兴!

LOLOLOL~

haji nails!

totally not haji looking at all! lols well at least it looks more haji than hallo.

100% done by myself! woohoo~

and guess how long it lasted before chipping? 1 frigging day. =______=

yoohoo longggg weeeeeeekend!!

back in business!

my suddenly-sick laptop has recovered by 90%! yays!

and i managed to salvage the London photos! yays!

and i reinstalled every shitty program that was being reformatted away! yays!

and i managed to get Photoshop again! yays!

i want to be in this family!

true-blue blondes!! wahahaaha~

that is the family of Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander. was googling about the Dutch royals when looking through my Amsterdam photos lols.

Crown Princess Maxima is Argentinian, by the way. i cant really tell on 1st look, but still quite pretty. Kate prettier though hahaha.

per Wiki, when the Prince first met her, he didnt tell her about his royal status. and when he finally told her that he is a Prince, she thought he was kidding. lidat then any random angmohs in my office could be a prince lor!

do u know who he is?

i totally cant tell this is Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he first appeared in Looper!

really looked very different, then i thought maybe JGL went for plastic surgery. but as i watched on, all the more it doesnt feel right. so i went to google:

they did alot of makup to JGL's face in order to make him look like Bruce Willis!

OMG so cool!

that explains! haha actually i think he still doesnt really resemble Bruce Willis after makeup. =X

then again, BW and JGL look really different to begin with.

QUESTION! why did they not make BW look like JGL instead?? hmmmm~

oh this one has more BW feel. apparently the fake lips ala BW are the hardest to put on.

anyways, dont know how i feel about the movie. the concept is good, but i think the plot didnt pan out as well as it should....

my Romeo's still the best

this is a major hint to TERENCE!! u know what u need to do!! LOLs.

my unconscious laptop is undergoing major reconstructive surgery at the hospital and will most likely lose all its memory as a side effect, so all the things i have prepared to blog about on Amsterdam and Belgium should be all gone. haiz~

British craze

always thought UK is a boring place where people are all really prim and proper, but started to like it more after Olympics and even more after actually visiting London!

love the colours of their Union Jack flag and the colourful iconic red buses and telephone booth! so bought tons of related souvenirs for myself! muahahaha bought them at this trashy but uber cheap store in Camden Town.

bought this commemorative Olympics pen at the first London 2012 souvenir store i saw in Stratford. it was on discount, £2.50. but as i walked on, the 2nd Olympics souvenir store was selling the same thing at £1! simi f daiji!! boooooo~

keke the London soldier notepad was so cute! but never buy lah.

Beefeater so cute too! the name doesnt sound cute but the uniform quite cute lols. didnt buy.

koped some Olympics-themed chocs from the SQ girl onboard A380, comes in Olympics mascots shape!

love, love, love London! Rong, must thoroughly enjoy the rest of your secondment in London k! awwww~

shopping in London!

first day in London, roamed around in Canary Wharf area after all the office boys and girls have started work, saw a rather big Boots store, walked in, never came out until an hour later! hahahaha.

bought some Boots No7 stuffs, so far hated the cleansing water, not cheap somemore. bought some cute cheap mascara which is totally noT waterproof bahhhh. bought very good Boots lip balm, 2 for £1.80 uber cheap. bought hair conditioner for my colleague, and some other random things.

M&S right beside Boots! this branch is quite different from the M&S in Sg, it sells mostly fresh food and very little clothes, their food are all really fresh and yummy!

they have the same classic M&S snacks that we have in Sg too, but much cheaper! i have no idea then cuz i dont really buy in Sg, but after im back i went to check out the price in Sg, SUPER MARKED UP! like double or even triple the price!

saw this and found it super cute! wanted to buy but my shopping bag at that time was already very heavy. heard Sg sells this too though, almost definitely double the price.

always nursing a weakness for Cath Kidston stuffs! the prints are all soooo pretty!! but really abit too expensive for something that BKK can imitate very well, like £10 for that blue floral pouch. think BKK or Naraya only 3 bucks?

bought this keychain for Sam/Lu! so cute hor? hehe. should have reached Sam/Lu by now~~

cuz things are really quite expensive there, when u see a huge store full of fashionable and affordable clothes, U GO CRAZY!!! lols spent £110 there lor.

Genie: u spent £100 there??? how much did u buy?? the whole shop??

lols

see, really known to be a super cheap clothing store! i bought 3 dresses, 2 tops, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 tees, 1 shirt, 1 bag! for £110! quality much better than BKK! muahahaha~

what i bought for friends and family. bought like maybe 10kg of chocs though i dont really eat chocs lor, see im so nice haha.

a year

and the laptop we went to buy together had to choose today to crash, seriously freakyyyyyyyyyyy~

anyways, i have been pretty okay the past year, coolly impressed with myself wahahaha. keep it up, bitch! *pats*

Brits are crazy over Kate

she is pretty much everywhere, on tv, on the frontpage of magazines and newspapers....

even on their famous telephone booth outside Windsor Castle!

keke okay on an unrelated note, did u know that there is so much press freedom in the UK that they get a Page 3 where the daily papers can publish photos of....

topless lady! sorry guys, had to censor the important part so that this blog stays clean. PM me if u wanna see the original! LOL~

i got a shock when i first saw it. then i showed the American auntie beside me (she was alone too so we had to sit beside each other on the tour bus to Windsor Castle) and she was shocked too. seems like there's no such Page 3 in USA. hahaha cool~

eat in London

initially kept having sandwiches at cafes alone for breakfast....

then got bored and started eating the cup noodles i brought over at Rong's apartment while watching tv....

then i found company in a long-lost friend who has been idling in London too!

keke so we started brunching together in Notting Hill and Stratford Westfield!

but sometimes i do have other company as well....

Rong for lunch at Byron's Burger Canada Square~

Rong for dinner before Lion King @ Strada. pretty cheap and good! Lion King's fantastic too!

Rong, Genie + Theresa for Japanese dinner before Yes, Prime Minister~~

actually my food in London all not-bad nia, great food all in Belgium. maybe laters~
