Loopie - Joop

Karaoke 97 , originally uploaded by hypnotiq_joop . a decade ago, we sported sleeveless blue dresses day after day. a decade ago, we went to watch jacky cheung in snow wolf lake in the midst of 'O's. a decade ago, mee poh from the canteen was something that we ate pretty often. a decade go, a bunch of crazy gals who lurved ktv gathered regularly for, well, ktv. so started this unofficial group nicknamed karaoke kakis. I LURVE YOU GUYS!!

Kenna nagged by jo, hk and sy that there aren't any photos of my shopping spoils in new york. didn't have much time to buy much lah. but i had a lot of fun just looking at the shop windows and admiring the wares. Let's see what i'd bought: 2 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of socks from Daffy's. I love the yellow shoes, they are so cute and comfy! The first time i wore them here in bermuda, i received a compliment! guess they are too bright. haha... 2 dresses, 1 t-shirt and a hat from H&M. This is my favourite store but the lines for the fitting rooms are horrendous. i could have died of exploding leg veins while waiting. 2 t-shirts, 1 bag, 1 pair of shorts with suspenders from Uni Qlo. It gives me great jap-piness to wear these things, and imagine my hubby to be takuya kimura. ah.... 2 t-shirts from American Eagles. Darn cheap like USD9+ each. damn essential for the weather here in bermuda. other mundane stuff i bought include loads of chinese food (noodles, ferm...

Popeye's 2-pc chicken set with coleslaw and coke. yummy, delicious and darn sinful. haha. a bit sad to leave this place mainly because of the ppl who have made these few years a little less long, less dreary... think i'm going to miss the bitching/swearing/complaining sessions over lunch, the jokes, gossips, etc. BUT i'm looking forward to not having nightmares about work, not having to cover asses over nothing, not entertaining requests from tenants, not handling the bosses, not changing drafts after drafts to change content to suit the next rung of bosses and not making ppl reply to you on email to get something down in black and white. haha! cheers!

We just returned from a wonderful break in Bali... 4 days of absolute peace and tranquility.... This is actually Ngurah Rai Airport at Denpasar. Beautiful isn't it? This is our hotel situated in Nusa Dua - Melia Hotel. It is actually quite idyllic. Hao-e is as usual trying to act inconspicuous... yah right.... Everyday started with a scrumptious breakfast at El Patio Then off to busk in the hot sun and sweltering heat. But by the second day, hao-e was lobster-red and suffering from bad bad sunburn. So we went under cover - Gianyar for Shopping then!! Did you see those interesting things they were selling??? The masks were scary weren't they?? *Naughty grin* We also went to one of the most sacred places in Bali - Uluwatu temple, perched atop a cliff, it was magnificent just taking in the sunset, the waves clapping onto the cliff walls, the Indian Ocean winds howling in our ears. Kecak Dance was next, it was hilarious the sounds the "choir" made... All in all, it was ...
