Haven't you realise, an existence that is forgotten, is a painful one? And to give up so much for nothing, is a hope lost for good?

What do you do, when your soul cries out in loneliness, and there is not a soul to help?

Start learning that solitude is the way of life?

Hearty lunch

Had the most delightful and filling seafood chowder soup yesterday at the Goose restaurant! Good food coupled with al-fresco dining with the iconic Busselton Jetty and calm waters right in front of us!

The weather was exceptionally beautiful. Warm and sunny, only with occasional chilly breeze. If I'm brave enough to wear a thin cardigan and shorts for a day like this, how cold can it get?

Wish I could snap a picture of my seafood chowder! Such a luxurious treat, with generous servings of oysters, snapper and prawns and scallops! I love it to death. Shared a tapas of chorizos and herbal bread with SL. Bottom line is, I HAVE OVER-EATEN AGAIN!

The bill came up to a whopping 80 bucks for just the two of us, with my seafood chowder costing 31 bucks alone! I find the food a lil' overpriced, given that the place is more of a cafe/ al-fresco dining style. But hey, how could you complain when you can enjoy the pretty view of the jetty and sit by the waters? What a touristy catch there!

All visitors coming to busselton should at least dine here once, and work off the meal by threading on the Busselton Jetty! Check out more fab pictures of the restaurant, their menus here:

Next on the list to try, would be the New Townhouse Restaurant! =) Good way to put my entertainment card to use!

My Chanel baby is here! =) Happy Happy... Hopefully many more to add on to my collection!


Oh yeah, I did cut my hair in a few different styles before this one. And I like shorter hair! Wish I could go shorter than this! =)

City Living...

It's always been my dream to own a place of my own, right smack in the city, where all the actions begin and end.

Lounging at home wouldn't be to bad. Imagine to sip a glass of white and enjoy the city lights through the full-height glass windows. How could you complain?

I would then be able to furnish my home the way I like it! Yes, I'm already thinking about the colours of the feature wall in my living area. Likely to be a deep shade of gray with criss-crosses of white strokes on it. And my black sofa with leopard prints throw on it. I probably will go for a very sleek and zen look - (but how is it even possible if I've got heaps of bags, clothes and books to begin with??)

So now, I shall make it a point to practice the importance of delayed gratification to make this dream come true. It ain't too hard to fulfil. All it takes is self-disciplince. I CAN DO IT!

My Chanel has arrived today- hubby has picked it up, and I can't wait for him to get home! No more Chanels till I get to put down my initial deposit for the dream home! =)

And guess what? My 200 bucks purchase from Forever 21 has not gone through- the store wanted me to ring a US number to do verification. I wouldn't care to go through all the troubles for this! Boo~

Watched "Dateline" before and got me pretty keen on Maoism in India. Very interesting coverage, only too brief for one to grasp the complete context, but good enough to set us, the more-fortunate beings, thinking. Lies and perceived democracy, and as what the author said at the TV interview, "the biggest scam of the 21st century". Shall do some research on it, not later, but tommorrow!

But I think most TV audience may be more keen on the tug-of-war between Obama and McCain at the moment =P

Good night for now!

Shopping Fever

My spending sprees never seem to end... First up, was the Louis Vuitton Petite Noe in Epi Leather, and then I got a bunch of dresses from an online spree, shipped all the way from Singapore. And then, I spent a good sum on a black Chanel Classic Lambskin Flap. The bag haven't even arrived, before I made another spending impulse from Forever 21 website. Altogether 8 items I have just checked out from the website-










I seem to have little resistance to lovely little things in this world. Well, at least certain expression of happiness can be bought. Sexy black is awesome! I'm drooling over Victoria Beckham's style


I could almost hear the Chanel Clutch calling out for me!

I prob have a lot of weight to shred before I can pull off this look. My face is looking rounder than before, not solely because of my new haircut. Feeling depressed and cooping myself at home is far from helping with the situation... Much needed for my well-being now is some fresh air and exercises.

Strange enough, I find my ass shrinking! Total disaster! How am I going to look sexy in the pencil skirt without a nice curve on the rear? My life has gone too weird- putting on / losing weight in the wrong areas!

Something else to share... Was talking to Bec last night briefly. She seemed really depressed and torn apart by her current guy. What would you do if you have already committed so much, but yet feel that tinge of uncertainty if he's really the one?

I can empathise with her. But then again, when can we really be sure? Perhaps only till the day we die, knowing that someone has always been true for the whole lifetime.

I'm a skeptic afterall...

And just in case you think I'm a shallow bitch with an air-head, I'm a far-cry from that... because I have just scored a distinction for my marketing assignment without even trying. You can't even dispute the fact that my job needs me more than I need it.. Only reason I'm hanging on to it is, I am building up a wardrobe with outrageous expenses!

I'm not dumb, but just lacking in ambition and conviction to do what I'm doing. As I have said to some friends, the fashion world is still my dream. But being a dream means that I have put lots of efforts and shoulder some risks to make it come true, which I'm not ready and willing to take at this moment.

So, what else can I do but winge and bitch at this time? And use excuses like "I'm spending heaps because I'm stressed out"?

If my dear friends are concerned about me getting indebted because of my spending impulses, don't worry overtly. I still stash away a good amount of money each week, and I have a husband to turn to (put it this way, I refuse to be an air-headed "tai-tai"). On top of that, it feels good to be earning my own dollars and then swiping it away on all the things on my most wanted list.

I think i've catch a cold... Oh, how I hope that I would get so sick and have to be away from work for one week! Haha, can imagine how all these useful scums are going to do without me!

Blasted at two of my workers today. I enjoy the look on their faces! If I can't make life better for myself, I'll have to pass on the misery.

Work has probably driven me nuts. I had the most unpleasant conversation with my boss today. I asked to be relieved for lower duties so that I can concentrate on my studies. I even suggested that I'd take lower pay and the company should hire someone to take over my FC duties. And guess what the reply was?

Can't believe that he would actually have the cheek to say that it's too hard AND EXPENSIVE to hire a FC who is willing to work in a tourist region! I felt so exploited after hearing all these bull-shit! Oh yeah, so you mean I'm cheap, but shouldn;t be rewarded for doing an equally good job? And yes, the company should continue to exploit me and pile heaps more responsibilities on me? And also, you won't be able to find someone else whom you can so easily exploit like me???

Nice...

If you guys dont know about it yet, let me tell you how much more my job encompasses, on top of running the Accounts Dept and handling all the risk mgt shit I was raving about in my earlier posts. EVERYONE at the resort comes to me for help with EVERYTHING, however trival.

I get phone calls in my office everyday, with the strangest questions from the front desk. I had to help man the reception when they get too busy with arrivals. I had to help them fix their night audit discrepancies. I had to play PA to the GM. I had to help put together marketing materials for famil groups. I'm just fucking everything that everyone uses me for!

So, I'm just a cheap slog for the company afterall.

With work aside, I feel kinda sad. Real life feels so distant from me. It's only a matter of time when I'm completely forgotten.
