It is indeed very true when people said time will somehow pass faster when you're older.
Sekelip mata saja.
Today is the last day of 2009 and looking back, it seemed like I've not achieve anything BIG. Not like I have anything BIG to achieve also-lah! But still..
I'll be turning 26 in 2010, entering the second quarter of my life. I want to:
1) lead a happier life - less complaining and more giving
2) learn swimming! I have 3 swimming suits and 5 bikinis lying in my wardrobe
3) meet more new friends and keep in touch with one friends (for one is silver the other is gold wtf!) I've been quite anti-social this year :(
4) shop less and save more (ok, this gonna be hard)
5) sign up for gym, it's time to tone up!
Nothing big, baby steps and I'm gonna make sure it works this time..
HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE! ;)

Singapura sangat bersih!
Hi people! I'm back!! (understatement WTF)
So it was a full 3 days of shopping in Singapore, and I'm back with only 3 dresses, a bangle and a pair of fake lashes -_-" In fact after conversion, everything seemed not really worth it. The same stuff selling in Topshop, same stuff in boutique but even higher price.. so NAH, I better save some and shop back in KL!
The boy shopped more than me. OK, I lose :(
We reached Singapore wee hour in the morning, around 6am and we had nowhere to go. We couldn't check in 'cos the hotel was charging us more than our 1 night room stay price for early check in, plus, they're very very bossy and blur. Asked us to be back for check in around 12-1pm, and in fact when we're back around that time, there's still no room for us and I was already very pissed off.
Oh hello, I worked as a frontliner before too and I guess it's not that difficult to hold a room for guests who arrived early! Rather than getting them to wait from 6am till 2pm! When they're still struggling to get us a room at 2pm, my face was already as black as Justice Bao. Finally, got us a room, we went up, opened the door, and much to our horror IT WAS AN OCCUPIED ROOM!
You can never imagine how angry and frust I was. I was tired and my legs were sore from all the walking in the morning.
I'll never be back to Link Hotel. Even the hotel lobby and rooms are totally different from what we saw from their website. Like what my ex-collegue always said, "What you see is not what you get".. very true indeed! And they don't even have a pool!!!
My not-very-happy face in the morning. We had our dimsum breakfast in Chinatown, walking distance from the hotel. Everything else was still closed.
Tired, sleepy and sweaty and I still managed to force a smile... the boy failed.
We walked around the area nearby and apparently we discovered many things. A shop with a signboard 'S.E.X. in the city', absinthe pub, and an old porn cinema! Japanese with chinese subtitle.. YAMATE! :P
We took a nap after we checked in and when we woke up in the evening, it was raining quite heavily. Took a cab to ION Orchard to meet up with Sheau!
She had been missing in action for the longest time! Even stopped blogging :(
It was Christmas day and Orchard was damn happening. Heaps of people were dancing on the street. Colourful lights and cute Christmas ornaments.. but I guess I aged, I want a white Christmas!!
My camera sucks. 'Nuff said.
We went back to the hotel quite early that night in fact as we're all drained out. Slept right away the moment our head touched the pillow. And I woke up around 1am to remove my makeup fml.
To Bugis the next day! We actually checked out from Link Hotel and checked into Hotel 81 Osaka down the road. It was a budget hotel though but it was very new, the room was almost the same size as Link Hotel and much much friendlier staffs. I love Hotel 81 ;) .. uHm, not the one in Geylang though..
More Christmas tree to prove I was there during Christmas!
Nothing much to explore in Bugis Junction. Proceeded to Bugis Street and didn't get much stuff as well. Got a pair of fakelashes, for Chinese New Year, haha!
It started to rain in the afternoon :( Initial plan was to Haji Lane, in fact I was looking forward to go Haji Lane since forever! We almost cancel the plan, and the boy smelled the dissapointment in me and proposed to braved through the rain, so off we went, squeezed under my small pink folding umbrella.
I-dunno-how-to-express-my-feeling....~!!!!!!
The rain stopped once we reached, thank you guanyinma, jesus, allah and ganesha ;)
It was my first time to Haji Lane and my findings are:
1) Haji Lane is just a lane
2) Very karerful!!
3) Everyone hoo-haa-ing over the old shophouses here which can be seen everywhere in Taiping 4) It is an expensive place!
So let the pictures do the talking..
OK, so I left Haji Lane empty handed.
Later on we went back to Orchard cos the boy wanted to get the Zara sneakers he spotted the day before. Hello Orchard!
We went into this gigantic Christmas tree outside ION (if I'm not mistaken) and it was so be-au-ti-ful!
Cotton On was at a mess. 50% here and there and long queue both in fitting room and cashier. I might as well just try my luck to get this fedora in Pavilion. Cheaper I think..
But I don't know what for I wanna buy this fedora as I had one before and I sold it off.
Four stories Forever 21 in one of the shopping centre in Orchard!!! Somerset 313 I think?
"Hello aunty, stop staring at us..."
Dinner time at Chinatown . We're looking for something local and came across this stretch of hawkers. And these pineapple fried rice with prawns as big as the smallest dried shrimps you can get, prawn rolls with prawn nowhere to be seen or taste, and fried oyster noodle cost us almost RM80. The most expensive hawker food I've ever tasted.
Checking out the next day..
It was drizzling again.. *sigh*
We passed by Explanade on the way to Merlion. I'm not sure why it looked so misty in this picture.
The Merlion! We're just trying to be touristy! The boy was sour 'cos I did not include anything touristy in the itenary, such as Sentosa.. haha! I was being assigned to plan for this trip and anyway, I consider shopping as sightseeing.
Last meal before depart.. MACAROONS!
I told the waiter "I want pink purple and brown!".. and he must be thinking this lady damn unglam.. HAHAHAH!!
Crabmeat linguine.
I'm soooooooo ladylike! :D
So that basically summarized my Christmas in Singapore. Well, more like Shopping in Singapore! :P

My guardian angel
Imagine all you left in your wallet was only 10 cents, handphone battery almost flat and you're travelling in bus, alone.
How will you feel?
That was exactly what happened to me yesterday. Insecure, lost and scared.
I stepped up the bus to KL (from Kuantan) yesterday afternoon. Waived goodbye to the boy and he left. I watched him going further and further and no more in sight. Shortly, the bus left the terminal and I called the boy, happily telling him how much I enjoy my VIP seats (he bought 2 tickets for me). And later in less than 5 minutes, I almost died when I remembered I had only 10 cents left in my wallet.
10 cents.
I was supposed to withdraw some money before I leave but I forgot. For sure I don't need money throughout the journey. BUT, for god's sake I parked my car in hotel's carpark and I need money to get out!!! And I don't even have RM5 with me and what am I supposed to do???
Called up the boy and he was also in shock. He asked me my whereabout and I didn't even know where I was at that moment. All I saw was rows of old wooden houses by the roadside and some.. trees.. wtf. I told him, I'll think of a way.. yeah, there's surely a way to deal with this, I told myself. I'm an adult right?
But deep down, I was damn lost and can't think of anything...
It crossed my mind to either:
a) go to my car and get that touch n go card, take lrt to somewhere with atm machine;
b) try my luck digging for some loose coins in my car;
c) hopefully the bus driver will stop for a rest at petrol station with atm machine;
d) maybe sell some of my belongings to the hotel receptionist?? fml.
Minutes later, the boy called again, asking for my location and I have no idea. He said he's on the way to the tol but reluctantly, I told him to go back. I almost gave up. Whatever will be, will be.. At that moment, my battery went flat. fml x2.
And thank goodness, the boy pass me his spare handphone with 2 bars of battery before I left. For emergency, he said. Yeah, so it was really emergency. I changed my sim card to the other handphone and called him again, asking him to go back. And guess what? He told me he's already behind the bus!!!
I told the bus driver to stopby the side. I told him I need to get something from the car at the back.
driver: Wahhh... kereta hitam blakang tu kerr???
me: Ya..
driver: lupa bawak ape?
me: uhm.. uhm.. dokumen....
driver: oh..
*sweat* How am I gonna tell him "i lupa bawak duit???"
The bus stopped and the driver told me to get the boy to pass to me through the driver's seat window. I was like, "ahhh... takpe la.. bukak pintu jer la.." "Sini senang sikit.." he said, and proceeded to show hand signal to the boy..
The boy walked to the door next to the driver's seat and passed me some money RIGHT IN FRONT OF the driver. And the driver was like "Ohhhh...wang....... hahaha!!!"
I smiled at him sheepishly and walked back to my seat.
I held the money tight in my hand and I felt so secure... and loved ;)
How will you feel?

Gaining back
December is the best month of the year. This week onwards, there'll be 3 continuous PH on Friday! Ah~ I love Malaysia! ;)
Our trip down south has been confirmed. Booked the hotel room which neither of us know it's whereabout. And still deciding whether to drive down or take bus. Everything seemed kinda uncertain at the moment. It's just a short 3d2n stay during Christmas time and we're not even celebrating the eve over there..
But I iz very the happy one!!! :D
Btw, miss me? I realised I haven't been posting any pics lately (in my old blog). So, for those who actually misses me, this pic is for you..

omg.. I ashamed.
Do you really think I'll abuse myself like that -_-" ...
This was taken during pre-photoshoot of 2nd July. My sister always abuses me :(
Nah, here's a more decent photograph.
A not-very-recent pic of myself. I have difficulty searching for a latest pic of myself last night. I realised I haven't been camwhoring for quite sometime. Shucks. That must be the reason why I stopped blogging. I don't know how to blog without pic.
Or maybe, I stopped blogging and that is why I stopped camwhoring. Whatever.
Another more recent pic of myself.
Taken yesterday in the office using my hp. (centre parting?!!) I sent mms to the boy to show him how sad my life was yesterday, having cup noodle for lunch. I was alone in the office as most of my collegues went for training. Initially I thought it'd be fun being all alone, but not when the phone started ringing like mad. MAD i tell you and it's NOT fun ok! :(
Kesimpulannya, I have to gain back myself-lah.
Anyway, this was delivered to the office yesterday when I was at lowest mood.
Aww.. he made my day. ;)
And the best thing is, the boy starts giving flowers now, haha! He's not that typical kinda boy who gives flowers and chocolates when we started dating. And hey, I'm not complaining! Look, I'm a happy girl now ;)
Will be attending Christmas Bash later today and I doubt I'll be enjoying myself. Talk about socializing.. hmph!

Dec 15th
Ohai.. ;)
I'm back to Blogger, I know I'm unpredictable like that.. and don't get me started on why I'm moving to Blogger once again. Fingers crossed this will be the last time, but going DOT COM is exceptional case-lah!
I sorta stopped blogging for quite some time. I wonder if I'll still get back my readers. I've been working on this site quite some time back. Simple and clean layout, but linking all those sites had been quite a hassle. If you all notice, I've started on a new preloved site too - Over With It. Yeah, I'm closing down Baboobeep. I'm hoping I'll be able to work on better layout, better pics and better uhm, everything.
Before you start assuming something is definately wrong with me or I'm having quarter life crisis or whatsoever, I hereby declare I'm totally OK. Very fine, happy and still being Cryst. It's just that after stopped blogging for so long and stopped updating Baboobeep, when I looked back my sites, I know I should be doing a better ones. Und? Und? ;)
And oh btw, I decided to write my first post today mainly because today mark the 5th year anniversary of Ivan and myself. FIVE YEARS! We sorta mixed up the date a lil' cos according to him it was 14th midnight (early 15th) and I read from my diary it was supposed to be 15th midnight (early 16th) wtf wtf. So, 14th? 15th? or 16th?? So after the same arguement for so many years, we concluded we shall make it 15th.
So, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY beep ;)
Being together for 5 years, of course there're ups and downs but I'm glad we made it through everything. He'd been with me since I stepped into aduldhood and he'll also be the one I wanna grow old with..
No emo momo post, those words are better kept between us two..
