Protect your family against PNEUMONIA deaths - it can be prevented with immunisation

Cheers to a magnificent 2012!

To me, the end of 2011 is not simply just the end of yet another year, it signifies the closure of an important chapter in my life.

By starting off the 1st morning of 2012 jogging/walking in East Coast Park, it had given me a chance to be alone to ponder and reflect upon the last year. 2011 was rough. Admittedly I'd had worse but I wouldn't want to revisit that again. Nevertheless, in spite of all the unpleasantness that had happened, I believe I came out of it stronger. I'd learned a huge life lesson & I learned it well. I'm now not only grateful for the good things in life but the bad as well. Without the bad, I wouldn't come out of life wiser. Without the bad, I wouldn't know how good I had it in life.

Seeing some of my loved ones in ending up in the ICU last year, made me realise that nothing else matters except for one's health. I'm very thankful just for the simple fact that the ones I love are in good health. As we end the year & start anew, I want to give thanks to some very important people without whom, my life journey would be arduous:

Thanks to my (ex-)colleagues - Ahmad, Grace, Jennifer, Lionel, Sal, Serina, Sherry, Trisha & Yain Ping. Thank you for your friendship & accepting me as who I am. I'm going to miss working side by side with all of you :(

Thanks to my bosom buddies (pun not intended :p) - Dionne, Joe, Joey, Juliana, Marilyn & Nelly. Thank you for your unwavering faith and unyielding loyalty. I couldn't ask for better friends.

Thanks to my family - Mum, Dad, Uniz, Rene, Leto & Erykca. Thank you for your unconditional love & for putting up with my antics. I love you guys so much!

Thanks to my 2 precious - Megan & Pillow. Thank you, one for driving me round the bend & the other for keeping my sanity intact (guess who's who? :p) Haha …… but on a serious note, dear Meg, thanks for giving me a reason to open my eyes every morning.

And finally, thanks to a few individuals that have helped me so much but is not convenient to mention them here. I'll forever be indebted to your kindness.

It was an emotional last day in Pfizer

Farewell gifts from my colleagues cum great friends

I'm really touched

Urban Decay!!! Love max!

It even comes with this nifty small portable speaker. Sweet!

Totally adoring this necklace from dearest Grace

I'm excited about starting the new year on a clean slate. The possibilities are infinite. So for 2012, I'm telling myself & everyone here to DREAM BIG & GO FOR IT!

Happy New Year! xoxo

Sherry's birthday

Celebrated Sherry's birthday in "Ten Dollars Club KTV @ Aranda Country Club". That's our current fav hangout joint - cheap but good!

Mad loving these awesome cupcakes from The Cupcake Couture. I'm swooning over the chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting - worth every bit of calorie!

Wrapping our pretty birthday girl up as a gift

Lovable 傻大姐 Serina trying on my nerd glasses

*smooches* You are very loved babe!

My gift to Sherry - one of a kind gorgeous handmade anklet from KiKi Culte. I'm now so tempted to get an anklet for myself too!

Happy birthday sweetie!

Wherever my pink boots take me - Gilroy Premium Outlets, CA

I am pleased to announce that this is the last of my USA post! Woot! Blogged from April till December. Gosh ……. that took me more than half a year to churn this out :p Thanks for tahaning (bearing) with me people :)

Dim Sum breakfast in Chinatown

All ready for battle in Gilroy Premium Outlets. Last buy!

The insane amount of gels & lotions that I purchased from Bath & Body Works

Most of them sacrificed lunch for shopping but it's the other way round for me :p

Mission accomplished & I was completely knackered!

Dinner time

I swear I never had that much Chinese food in my entire life as compared to those past few days in USA

We simply can't resist even though food was coming out through our noses. We're only human afterall.

-

I don't understand why their pizzas tastes so much yummier. Seeing that it was our last night, we just had to have one last pizza. Don't ask me how we managed to stuff everything in.

After all those food the night before, the first thing that we did when we woke up was to eat again. Looking back, it's no wonder I look like I do now. Sigh ……..

Getting ready for our long haul flight back, hence the bare faces. I'll let you in on a secret. I have perfect eyesight :p Sssshhhh…..

Guess what we did when we reached the airport? EAT AGAIN! Overdosed on Chinese food & thus we were over the moon to see a Japanese restaurant. I can't get enough of the Bud Light, so one last bottle before I say my goodbye.

Transited in Korea's Incheon International Airport. Joe & I had been talking about Korea's authentic kimchi for the longest time. We had less than an hour to spare & so while the rest made a dash to the duty free shops, Joe & I made a beeline for the restaurant. 

Haha ….. but guess what? I managed to gobble everything down in record time & even found time to grab some facial masks! *happiness*

Came home to the warmest welcome from Meg. I feel so loved!

Blogging about the USA trip is bittersweet. What fond memories they are. I'm sure going to miss everyone some of the awesome folks in Pfizer. Well, it was fun while it lasted but I guess it's time to move on.

Wherever my pink boots take me - San Francisco, CA

Here's the continuation to the previous post on San Francisco

Fishermans Wharf

Alcatraz

We just had lunch but we're not leaving without tasting the famous crab & clam chowder

Next stop

I can't resist posting these pics. These 2 were way cute!

We had so much fun jumping around :D

That we just can't stop doing it!

I had the best fun ever travelling with these ladies

Busy busy day of non-stop sight-seeing

Golden Gate Bridge

Attempted a panoramic shot but the battery died on me soon after

At long last, we're finally at our hotel in San Francisco

Took this shot from my room when the rest went clubbing. I chose to stay cos I was getting too home-sick & feeling really down. I was missing Meg like mad! I get this way everytime I travel without Meg.  But 1 more day & I'll be flying home!

Wherever my pink boots take me - Chinatown, San Francisco, CA

I'm waiting impatiently for Meg to be back from her trip. So a short continuation on my USA trip while I wait.

Burger King breakfast at the airport prior to departing for our next destination, San Francisco

My roomie - Sandra aka Ah Tiong

Touched down!

Make a guess, where's our 1st stop?

Lunch in Chinatown

Then it's off for some sight-seeing

My very dear friend - Sal

Can't help it but all of us stopped to scrutinize the ladies :p

万事如意，横财就手。

Pretty!

Our crabs are well-known far & wide

Now I'm confuse ……..

Tom Cruise?!?!

We saw loads that day but that's way too many pics to fit into 1 post. I'm just awful at filtering photos :p If I had my way, I would have uploaded all the pics from my camera into this blog. So later, till I take you for a trip to Fisherman Wharf. XOXO
