Guess Who…

January 23, 2009

Got himself a $200 C.O.E.?

Heh heh…decisions decisions…what car should Synn and I buy?

I’m so into the Camry, but at $71,000, the $15,000 price difference from the Wish is too large to ignore. Sigh.

Do I give in to my temptations, or do I go with the practical Wish?

Argh.

I Heart Krispy Kreme

January 21, 2009

After hearing so much about their famed donuts, I finally got a chance to visit an outlet in Korea.

I had wanted to have some Dunkin Donuts to snack on during the late nights in the hotel room, but decided to ask if there was Krispy Kreme in Korea on a whim, and they do!

So off we went in a hurry to locate the nearest outlet after dinner one night.

After the car had been parked, I leapt out of it and into the outlet and what a sight to behold!

*drool*

*drool*

So many donuts sitting pretty and all of them looked delicious. While we do have similar concept stores in Singapore, I must say, none of them have as many donuts that look so yummy. I decided to buy a dozen and hand carry them back to Synn.
We Lost One In Transition, Sir.

We Lost One In Transition, Sir.

No prizes for guessing who couldn’t wait to tuck in, hehe.

There’s even a mugshot of a poor donut getting prepped for its eventual demise with the magic microwave-for-8-seconds label down in one corner of the box, hehe.

Caution: Learner Pooper Ahead

January 20, 2009

Something Synn and I bought recently:

Potty Wondered What Her Fate Would Be.

Potty Wonders What Her New Owner Has In Store For Her

I have to say, though, the little man hasn’t taken too kindly to it. I can’t understand why.

I mean, it looks like the most innocuous thing in the world, but everytime we try to sit him on it, he’ll try to stand up in a panic and start bawling his eyes out.

Sigh.

New Day by Tilt

January 19, 2009

Heard this on Lush 99.5 the other day. Excellent track.

I’m the voice inside your room
I’m the mind that bends the spoon
I’m the toe that dips into the water of life
I’m the hand that combs your hair
I’m the touch that takes you there
Then in your hearts despair I’m gone, I’m gone

Cos there’s a new day has come
Dance in the light till the summers done
Life’s got a meaning
It’s healing
The pain you are feeling inside
(Repeat)

I’m the sun that’s in your sky
I’m the star that’s burning bright
I’m the strength that gives you the reason to fight
I’m the blood that fills your heart
I’m the hand which hails the start
Then in your hearts despair I’m gone, I’m gone

Chorus

Simply put, it’s my kind of music!

The FaceShop

January 18, 2009

Apparently, they sell this stuff at about half the price in Korea, compared to Singapore, and I was tasked to bring some goodies home.

Mask, Anyone?

Mask, Anyone?

Ironically, this isn’t for Synn, but for an old friend, lol.  :)

I think I must’ve carted off more than 20 mask products. I bought more cosmetics on this one trip than I have in my entire life. *facepalm*

If Synn’s rate of putting on her mask treatments are any indication of the recommended rate, I think these will last for half a year. At least.

Home Sweet Home

January 16, 2009

Yay, I’m finally home!

Synn: I’m going to have less space in bed now.

Me: *types this into the post*

Synn: Wa, you’re very irritating leh. You can always sleep in the other room, you know.

Sigh.

Anyway, more pictures of my trip and my haul from Korea to come.

In the meantime, here’s something that greeted me when I climbed into the backseat of my Korean colleague’s car.

Cushion Says Hi.

Cushion Says Hi.

I have no idea what it is, but it kept me company during my rides in the car, hehe.

Kimchi, Anyone?

January 8, 2009

I just got informed I’m needed in Seoul, Korea, the whole of next week.

My first business trip since Tristan was born. Frankly, I’ve been putting off travelling for as long as I could, and this time I couldn’t worm out of it any longer.

I hope Tristan still remembers me when I get back, lol.

On the flipside, I get to travel Business Class again. Yay.
