post weekend trips

friday- 18th dec was suppose to be a pre-christmas celebration in TBL.
But i took a half day and spend time with the streets and alleys.

This plate of wan-ton mee really makes me a happy girl.
Trooped down to keong saik- little did i know that there are numerous of hotels there, asylum, books actually, passed by my fav. patisser, egg3 and ended up in tracyeinny for a peek. Nothing special to get so i had to reward myself with KOI- fav bubble tea joint.

Sunday- met mellow after my gym class.
hell i must be dreaming- did not even heard her calling my name twice.
but attracted by the flea and bought a couple of stuff from her- 'wishbone' earrings *hearts
(wish i had met her earlier so that i wont spurgle on something at SL earlier)
anyways, i got quilt covers for the 'chou' baby and we are both happy.

rachel @ homelessconcept

yeah!

i've got my health check up done a couple of weeks ago and
im glad to receive my report.
Well, healthy and still strong i guess.

next up, i've got hair appointments and shopping sessions to attend.
i love to do things that i like and taking time to think and really digest everything.
In the meantime, i am also searching for a totally new environment for. . .
i love my nafa girls and im meeting up with them real soon.
and i've prepared a lovely pressie for that lucky girl whom got to pick me.
Sephora galore!!

i've been sleeping almost throughout the day..

a million things to be done

Hey ya! I just got back from Timberland's Serva-palooza and im turning myself to 'zombie' mode.

With all that painting (2 coats), cleaning and masking out all the areas.
I felt like im in 'Home Decor' where everything needs to be in detailed.
Guess i wont be joining them for the next year event since i am at the verge of '....'
I had nightmares, mixed feelings and random thoughts about staying for venturing out to another area. and the shitty thing is, i cant handle stress quite well. (or more like critiscism well)

I'm hoping that next week would faster come and go. So that i can settle down for e meeting and get all over it.

rachel @ homelessconcept

i-boothing

i had fun with this. . looks like i got short hair...

weekends of fun after fun

i love this Rockstar cushion.
Deepavali was spent at Kes and Mandy's house for rounds of MJ and Wii session.
i must admit that it's my first time playing wii and lots of laughter involved with the sports games section.

i love my friends!!


Guess what, regional meeting coming up and im in 'hectic' mood.
Shit, this period better past faster.

Pre City Escape

10 hours of staring at my 24” Imac is scary.
I’m getting blurry vision, up-tight migraine, losing appetite, anti-fatigue. . .
Even getting a nap wont help as much.

Yesterday i was at my emo-ness. Fought for my employee pass because i
feel so not acessable when i dun have it when im seeing a doc.
It’s such a basic thing. And today came another mail where employees need to produce
their pass if they are going to the zoo for free entry.
Hah! another good reason to have it.
(im glad) Im such a cry baby. . .

Oh, September was blast month.
Vian’s wedding was a big success, not to mention the video that we did.
Sisters were really anticipating for the event.
Bravo!

And now that Sep is over. I had a little time to catch up some rest.
While attending to my endless work schedules, i’m planning for a upcoming BBQ with
fab food and also a deserve holiday if possible.
As im getting old, i would not let my brain to get into the comfort zone.
I would wreck through the inner password for bigger brain storage.
In order to accomodate for upcoming memories, learning resources and first time events.

Sing Dollar－Must Watch Musical

The girl & I anticipate this muscial for the longest time.
We had out tixs booked almost 2 months ago and for me, it's my first time to watch a musical in the big 'durian' theatre.
I must say that Sing Dollar make my night so awesome-ly perfect. I was being entertained with these bunch of hilarious stage professionals. I always like Hossan's shows and this time with Kumar around, im *thrilled*.
Very local content and easy to understand and relate with. Please note that this is NOT　definately some kind of acts for the high-class associates. *hee
Sing Dollar- "When money drop from the sky, you say thank you.

And true enough, we got something the very next day at Reyane's place.
*Happy 16th Month

rachel @ homelessconcept

travel alone

i'm thinking of traveling alone, just to free my mind and diverse my body and soul.
how difficult is that? or will i ever com back to this place?
too much to let go and too little to keep.

rachel @ homelessconcept

get me outta here!

*yummilicious

Aftermath of my August Plano-gram

I've been working hard on my August IG (installation guide), that consist of my endless wall plano on my merchandise co-ordination.
Being sick of the past 2 weekends, i really wasted some time and things are stagnant for a while. Thank god i manage to finish on time. *phew

Pretty occupied with work & play.
Trooped down to Villa Bali again on friday night and spend the night discussing on Vian's wedding preparations. Great chill-out place, i'll reccomend.
Located at 9 Lock Road which is near the AIA building at Alexandra.
Saturday was spent watching Harry Potter & the half blood prince.
Well, pretty much the same scenario but i really love the demure Emma Watson now.

Dinner was spent at Don's pie savouring our fav. Crab Bee Hoon.
Too bad, shun can't have the crabs due to some weird syndrome. (haha)
The yam, thick bee hoon and succulent crabs were all so yummilicious!! Oh ya, and the soup base.


The laid-back cafe at McNally Street.
I'm lovin it and so going to back there soon.

nighty world.

Yester-months

Feeling kinda like i just drift through this year.
It's already july and 2 seasons have passed. . . .

I spent this year attending a lot of events, experiencing new things, walk through a lot streets, exploring a few places, made some new friends, learn a lot at work (at the same time, i work very hard), accepting how some things should be and be who i am.

I am hoping to take good care of my health(not that im ill), just feel like humans are aging and we take to take in more tonics or perphas eat quality stuff instead of junk(fast/food & instant stuff). Just a gentle reminder here and for my friends who are reading this. And yes, try not to take in 'cold' food or drinks, especially women.

rachel is catching harry potter this weekend.
*ridiculous* *whoosssh


on another fabulous note, Tim Burton gave me this for my birthday next year.
*jump with joy* i cant wait to see his creation.

rachel @ homelessconcept

seasonal surprise!

random thoughts

Things have become stagnant and i am still moving on.
Some mornings i still get thing undone and just wondering
what’s next.

I thought a walk might do me good or maybe leaving this
world might be better.
Of course i do not want to leave things undone or leave with regrets.
Life is too short for it.

I miss my mornings with newspapers and nice breakie.
i miss complaining my thoughts in life to a listener.
I miss my homeless concept sketching and i miss my long hair days.
I miss good food cos i am picky about food these days and i hate it.
I miss being pampered.

rachel @ homelessconcept

decision

missy here is looking for a place to move in.
been having conflicts with my mum and i just want to be alone, independent.

buzz me if there is a room out there, friends.(strangers)

rachel @ homelessconcept

memories - 14th month

It took me quite some time to put this up together.
i’m glad that im all done now.
happy belated 14th month-sary.
rachel @ homelessconcept

another back dated entry- HK

rachel @ homelessconcept

random place

i took a walk today alone, to Esplanade.

Somehow, i discovered that very often human tend to overlook/neglect the surroundings around us. We only think about what are we going to do the next weekend, which new place to check out, gossiping, taking a lot of things for granted....etc. YES!
I start to look at the things around me. how many people around the world can actually step into this building and experience the whole atmosphere. Yes, to 99% of us, it's like 'What's there to see? How arty can it be? Looks ordinary what!" But, today somehow i felt im one of the lucky soul. I step into the library, did a few round of checks, saw some studious people, look at some old movie VCD covers (they do rent out VCDs, thou), step into some galleries and just silently looking at people's behaviour and expressions. At least it's a quiet place to sit down and look at the ceilings, watch kids play and looking at people.
I am not sure if i am being rude, but to me, looking at people is therapuetic. lol

Next time, i shall explore other places for my weird hobby.

rachel at the verge of discovering for amazing things @ homelessconcept

backdated post!

The 8 days of Hongkong vacation is awesome and joyous.
I had total freedom, endless shopping fascination, delicious mango
madness (THEIR DESSERTS are to die for), posing with celebrities
at the wax museum, visiting the Agnes.b flagship store (AND MYSELF 2
fabulous tees), we even end up in macdonalds someday where we just
need to grab and go.

The weather was pretty cold so we got our windbreaker on all the time.
The people there were very well dressed but not very well mannered though.
Some mornings we will have fabulous macdonald/KFC breakie, once-the authentic
cha-chan-teng, the young couple brought Frooties cereals and sometimes, its
just brunch. We tried their steamboat which was like huge for the 4 of us. Mainly because they
had this $1 whole chicken on promotion- so every table is entitle to one.
Their dim sum was fresh and succulent. We had had Aji-san one night when we were so famished
after the whole day at DIsneyland.

Despite that the hotel room is small, we still feel cosy and happy in the end.
3 things that will make me visit Hongkong again:

1. Cheap airfares to fly. This time i amd going to stay at Langham Place (maybe).
2. More shopping. More international brands that i cant find in Singapore.
3. Their desserts?

Within a month, i amd already thinking about the next vacation. . . Is that good/bad?
Maybe Taiwan or Austria countries. . .hmmm.


rachel loves vacation
@ homelessconcept

I hardly notice March and it's ending.
I have been real busy in mid March that i almost ran over my work.

Finally everything is over.
Had TBL first service event CSR for Q1. It was worth the time and i truly enjoyed myself. Cleaning the old folks home and also talking to some of them and walk into their lives.
Manage to take a short break at the chalet to break away from the city. Gosh, i miss it so much.

Next up, my holiday coming up. endure. . .

rachel @ homelessconcept

e.m.p.t.y

im just dumb founded.
i hate this kinda of feeling.
Sometimes, i wished i am not that emotional.
Which one benefits better?
1. Trusting yourself that nothing happens and shed all feelings aside
2. Knowing the un-reveal truth, be prepare and break into tears later.

why must it be me?
im falling apart. . . . . .

rachel @ homelessconcept

monday sent with love.

i hate mondays totally.
bad hairdaes, bad mood, late for work, loads of work and worst of all. Nothing beats the menses. whoah man! what a day.
Hardly had anything today... i did a few sips for my coffee before i discovered the big "M" was here. Popped a pill and the rest of the day was grouchy. Superb.

Did a surprise lunch for J. and thats how she ended my day with a Big Humph. surprise!!! love.


this monday aint that bad afterall. *smiles
rachel @ homelessconcept

;is he into you?;

well, actually im not quite into this movie.
"He's not that into you" strike me as some romantic movie, yeah something like love actually. But how wrong was i.
I was anticipating. But it gets too dragging here.
The talkin was slow, movements, storyline, everything.
So thus, rating: 2 out of 5. I don't even mind missing.

thinking: do we really have to watch boring movie everyday year on this date?
hmmm...

rachel @ homelessconcept

mood for pixs.

Yes, early in the morning. Cam-whoring.
