Out of Cities
woah, new look for my blog! not totally done though. Finally. LOL. I stayed awake the whole night just to make simple changes to my blog becoz I dun have Photoshop so I was using Paints & Microsoft Powerpoint to edit the photos!! not so bad huh?
Went for another holiday last month! To that beautiful Sabah! Sabah is a Eastern part of Malaysia, previously known as Borneo. Of coz, it's well known for the famous Mt. Kinabalu! So this time, after so many years!! Bestie Via (also one of my climbing pal) and I decided to visit Borneo and conquer Mt. Kinabalu!!
Oh, for those who didn't know... I used to climb. As in Rock Climbing and Hiking. For quite a couples of years from Primary School to Poly... Pls hor, dun tell me I dun look like the sporty sort. I just dun look as tonned now becoz I put on weight as I grows! hahahahaha! alrighty, shameful confession - I just didn't exercise enough lah.
Sadly... I got hit with rashes after a Night Shift in Office, right one day before my trip!!!!!!!! Sigh!
Pretty bad huh?
14 - 18 Nov 2010 - The Mountain & The Beach, The beauty of the mother nature
We reached Sabah on the 14th Nov 2010 Evening and started the climb on 15 Nov 2010 Morning... So here we go, all fresh and excited!
The sky was quite misty becoz we're going uphill. I didn't know the starting point was actually not at the normal land level.
Oh did I mentioned? Even though we're at the start point it was already cold. That explains the huge thick windbreaker!
Damn. It was really not EASY at all. I wonder which guru told me Kinabalu is easier than Ophir? it's only 1.5km and I thought I was miles away. LOL.
Resting point! And never fails to forget a shot of the process!
I love the smell of the trees and sky... but it was flights of stairs one after another! grrr..
Guest Appearance. Actually, there was many of them running around scrumbling for food.
Naturally crafted stairs, it's basically steps of rocks and trucks and some man-made planks to stop the soil from eroding into a straight slope.
Poccari Sweat Powder and Ribena Gummies were my Life Saviours!
Beautiful flowers growing in climate with temperature of maybe like 10 degC?
Love this photo. Joo said it's very post card feel. it was an amazing clear blue sky.We reached 6km before 5pm to have dinner and rested in the dorms provided. Woke up again at 1.30am and started the remaining climb at 2am with a much lighted backpack (we kept almost everything in the dorm!) and a torchlight in my right hand.
Sun Rise! Sabah's sunrise is at about 6.05am? This shot was taken before 6am though! Love it! The tough climb was all worth it when we saw such amazing view.
That was the summit at 8.7km. I took this when I was at 8.5km?
There's a reason why I was named the rabbit/bunny since young. My Bak-Gay! Anyway, temperature was below 10 degC during the night! It was so so so cold I didn't dare to brush teeth after I experienced frost bitten hands from washing my hands!
Bunny, Jojo our Mountain Guide and Bestie Via.
I love the 2nd half of climb! Basically as long as I get to climb rocks I'm be so smitten by it! Some parts were pretty steep and dangerous though. But I really really love that feel of being in control of myself.
Phew, reached the ending point at 2.15pm. Not even half dead, but ALMOST DEAD! We were exhausted!! and WTH! there I saw this score board of disgusting results of the Climbathon 2009. Salute! The fastest record was 2hrs 40min for a climb that took a normal person like me 1 full day! gosh, did this guy just teleported himself up and down?
YEAH!!! We've got our Cert!!!!
hahaha! After the climb was 2 days of full body massage! we were hurting so much we can barely walk! The Hot foot bath was the best to relax the tensed and sore feets! And I supposed you could see the rashes on my left knee... The rashes didn't go away for more than 1 week!
17th Nov 2010
We went to this amazing beach at Sapi Island!! OMG, the scenaries were amazing!
eh.... I slept enough. In fact I slept very well in Sabah... But I can't explain the puffy eyes and super seh face!
Yeah it's Sunny day!!!!!!! =)
My Red (and looks like Orange) Waterproof OceanPack! I Love it to ccccoooorrrreeeee!
My Love for Porn...
Now what are you thinking??! LOL
Amazing Thai Tom Yam soup at Porn's!!
It's a Thai restuarant establish by this local Artist Pornsak Prajakwit, located at Liang Seah street. It's a pretty busy place though... Food were great and I love it all but price is a little on the steep side though...
And the mango sticky rice was...... VA VA Voom!
Me and my Twin - Siying! LOL. we're called twins becoz my name used to be Jennifer when I was younger and Siying's English name IS Jennifer. Though I've changed name for a couple of years, till now the darling girls are still not used to calling me Rikka. and they still go like "Jennnnnnnnnn......" when they saw me. LOL.
The always Stylish in the most toot spectables.
Joo san!
Now Focus on Me and not on my Black Sesame Cream!
Fujifilm Instax Mini 25!!
I FINALLY GOT MY POLAROID!!! After like considering for probably more than a year already?! I decided to get it after I went out with Bestie Cara that day and she let me try out! Heard from Bestie that Mini 25 is no longer in production thus it's very hard to find in SG.
So I very luckily got a very good bargain from Gmarket and got it shipped it from Korea!!! Bought the Beautiful Wine Colour Case and 80pcs films from the same seller at much discount!
And it comes with a pink leather handheld strap for the Case
(quite good quality lor! and I think he sells it for $15.90)
My Other possession and an add-on to the Camera family! Alright the Black-pink one belongs to Joo and Mine's the black-orange one. It's a 3 Lens Lomo camera!
I Love cameras and recently I kinda fall for Lomo Cams. Think they're so adorable and the photo efftects are really artistic! Hope I got more money to buy More!! LOL.
Anyway, I was surprised! I thought I was about to get a good nag from Papa when he saw me receiving parcels for my online purchase of cameras. Yet he was, ermm... as well, fascinated with my new possessions and even supported my ideas of buying more cameras! LOL. I was telling Papa I wanna get a DSLR when I save enough... and my Papa kept saying "Good good, go and buy!" and went on to tell me he ACTUALLY used to have those professional camera and lenses back then and sold off for thousands over bucks becoz need to raise money to give birth to us!!! hahaha! OMG! I was like... if my papa never sell off his cameras, we probably can fetch a good price on the antique! hahahaa! Anyway, My papa is like my khaki when it comes to electronics and furnitures. Somehow, papa had passed on the same genes and interests to me. LOL.
There I saw a friend looking online on this Colourful Pentax DSLR and I was too, attracted by its wide range of colours. Can I add this to my birthday wishlist????? LOL.
Oh Vincent Vincent, How handsome art thou! Came across this website - http://www.paperus.com.sg/ selling bottle plants for Office folks as they requires minimal attention, yet at the same time beautify up your boring desk and generate some fresh Oxygen for those buried in the heavy stuffy workload! I fell in love with Vincent! But ermmm... the price... looks like Vincent's queue gonna be pretty far away.. =(
I went crazy the other day and decided to do something to spice up my life after the lovely climb. I went to do gel extension and 3D nail arts at MySpa!! The manicurist, Aini, is really cool! Though I love the length and how good the Manicurist is by moulding all these cute 3Ds, I hate the situation of my hair getting tangled in those 3Ds!
Now you see what I meant? The injury was bad! My whole toe nail turned black! The bruise and swell was so bad that after I came back to SG, the pain got worse and I couldn't walk very well. It felt like the nail fell off and it's hanging on the tip! but nahz, my nail is still intact. Now it's slowly healing though it's close to a month and it's still black =(

Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock....
Rikka the Bunny did not go MIA (Missing-in-Action)! lol.
been so packed with so many activities!
卓医师对我说：“开心也得过一天，难过也得过一天，那不如开开心心过着每一天?”
If I didn't rmb wrongly, she isn't the first who said this to me before. However, this was often forgotten. I'm still changing, maybe growing you could say. =p
Anyway, we never knew what's gonna be like tomorrow and I just dun wanna miss any chances of seeing smile on faces and hearing laughters. One overseas trip, many hangouts and movie dates, many gatherings and L4D games and I'm still hoping for life to goes on like this..... =) And I'm glad at least for this current moment, my Life's maintaining like how it shld be:
01 Oct 2010 - Happy Children's Day!
I always love children's day when I was a kid because we get small gifts from the teachers! lol. and now I still love children's day only that I am hopping I could live like a child again, roaming around the playground, stress- free. =)
The company I am working with decided to reward us with a trip to Universal Studio Singapore!
My USS tickets! One that I went with Bestie Via on 14 Sept 2010 and the other with the Citi pals!
The Treasure Hunt Game with my team... We were supposed to win!! but all becoz of a Macadascar Show... lol.
Free & Easy with my Clique!
Pussy from Shrek! I always love his innocent eyes... awwwww..... Via Via Khoo with her Gigi. And my favourite Fatbo!
Thanks to Jia Min who bought this photo and scanned it for us! The 1st shot of our Mummy Ride! and I love love love the Mummy Ride! =D
LOL. My toe nails! Love going to JB to get my nails done. it's cheaper and equally nice doing nails there! Mine's done at a Nail Palour @ Plaza Pelangi. When I'm back from my Kinabalu climb I shall go do my finger nails!!!! =p
Our Reto Polaroid Shots! Showing off hairbands we bought from Ms Ireen's shop at Jalan Dhoby.
Sista Janet is very into dramatic accessories lately..... lol.
Our Ms Ireen's Handmade Rings! all made with buttons. cute isn't it? best thing is it's only RM8. And I'm so in Love with mine.
Roost Juice Bar - It's a very retro yet comfortable cafe at Jalan Dhoby. I fell in love instantly the 1st time Sista brought me there.
They serve Nice Western food! but the best part isn't the dishes, it's their drinks!!! I ordered Strawberries Trips - it's an ice blend with Yorgurt, Strawberries, apple juice and banana (which of course I asked the staff to exclude the Banana!! well, i dun like the smell of banana.... lol.) And I thought it's really unique that they serve the drinks in a pail!
Dinner Gathering at Shokudo Raffles City Shopping Centre with Sista Janet, Mai Mai, Jit and Leonard. The girls wanted to play with the neoprint machine, the guys dun have a choice and got dragged to do so. And we had lots of fun doing the vainy actions. LOL.
Meet Up with the boys - Gerald, Mark, Jia Lun, Jia Rong, Yong Qiang. My brothers from the mentorship =) Sadly Andre and Kang couldn't make it. Anyway, Sista Janet, together with us went to Hand Burger at Raffles City Shopping Centre (again! LOL.) for Dinner. After that was the usual Tau Huay Dessert at Princep Street then a L4D game at Chambers.
My Dory Fish Burger and the Corny Soup! The portion is so big I couldn't finish it at all. But the soup was awesome! =)
One night I managed to pull a buddy of mine, CK, to go shopping with me at Vivo City! LOL. Well he hasn't got work to do and we are both waiting for Mai Mai and the rest for gaming @ Chamber so I thought I could ask him to join me to hunt for my Paris Bijourx Bracelet!
Sigh.... Talking of Paris Bijourx makes me boils! I bought this bracelet with a lovely white crane and a diamond 'R' charms at USS and I lost it after wearing it for less than 1 DAY!!!! =( yeah as usual the careless me.... I love it so much and I paid abt $60 (okie, with a $25 voucher given by the company) for it... sigh! sigh! sigh! I searched from internet and saw that there's a Paris Bijourx shop at Vivo and thought maybe I could get a same one there, yet just to realise the shop is not there anymore =( so I gonna find a chance to get myself into USS again to buy my bracelet. sobs!
We ended up having dinner at Marche @ VivoCity! I love the ambience....
Ice Cream and My favourite Strawberries on a crepe!! It's simply awesome and sinful! LOL.
A goldfish eye shot with an app in Iphone.
Recently, Mai Mai craze for the candy machine at the arcade is back so again, the office has a box filled with candies and tibits, complimentary from Mai Mai...
These are what we picked out from her bag! Reserved all for ourselves only! LOL.
Tora! Doesn't it rings a bell? My childhood favourite! and you can hardly see this selling anymore. When I was young I call it Tikam Tikam becoz the Tora box comes with Choco balls and a toy! so you never know what kind of toys are in there. I remember another Tikam Tikam which I preferred is the dark blue box with the Doraemon look-alike print! I forgotten the name of it. haha! anyway, this Tora box came with a yellow colour plastic Ocarina! Interesting!
Supper after work is one of our favourite activities. As the clique works the weird shift hours, the only thing we can do is eat or play L4D games.... LOL. So there we go, Coffee Club @ Wheelocks Orchard!
Candid!
oh gosh... what's via via khoo doing????
Lovely desserts for supper = The Double S-es... SUPER SINFUL!!
Elephant Skin and I decided to shall the country Pie and mud pie and the rose bud tea! Love them!
I dun remember I had taken any photos with Elephant before... so here at Coffee Club! haha!
Oh... I went shopping at Sephora @ Takashimaya and Isetan @ Wisma one day while waiting for CK to join me to meet Mai Mai and the rest for L4D game as usual... And there I burned a hole in my pocket...... lol!
Eyelash Essence & Nail Polish from Ettusais @ Isetan Wisma (I took the nail polish becoz I didn't have a choice! It was the lowest price item for me to top up my purchase to earn my stamps! Girls!! faint... ) Body Scrub from Sephora and a Strawberry Naval Ring from Isetan! I love it! =D
This is the body scrub I've got from Sephora... I wanted something minty and the Sephora promoter says this is the only scrub with a bit of minty feel. I like the smell and texture though... it's very moisturing and doesn't makes you feel oily.... But the minty effect ain't really there I thought. But after the use, it does makes your skin really smooth.
Heme Facial Wash! I only wanted to try a cheaper facial wash to save on my cash and I bought this from Watson coz I thought this smells great. Turn out I love the wash! It's smooth foamy with some bits in it that gives gentle exfoliating. Apple smell I thought... and after washing your face it gives a very 'clean' feeling yet doesn't make your skin feels tight/dry. I am in love with this SGD9.90 facial wash!
They decorated the office with Halloween balloons for the Race event! And I love the pumpkin balloon.... round and bouncy! LOL.
31 Oct 2010 - Sunday
Happy Halloweeeeeeeeennnnn!!!!!!!!!! I didn't wanna do nothing this halloween and I dun wanna dress up and hit the clubs and I never celebrated one before. So I thought I could do a simple gathering. I instantly took up the suggestion when Sista Janet came to me and said " Sista can we go Night Safari and scare ourselves together????!!!"
My Pumpkin torch!! CUTEEEEEE isn't it? I got it for 3 bucks at Halloween Horror @ Safari!
My Essentials! It was a really wise choice to bring my 1L bottle of water and my cute mini hand fan to queue for the haunted house in the Zoo.
Someone trying to act Macho to his GF. (FYI it's Via via Khoo's BF ah boon) LOL.
Thanks to Uncle Tony who paid $20 for this lovely group photo!! Took this outside the Haunted Mansion...
LOL!!! Epic. After I removed my foundation I thought I looked really pale I could really pass off as a devil's girl! then I realised it kinda ermmmmm........
Anyway, pending for more photos from Jia Min's pro camera... LOL.
Tricks or Treat? Treat from a Usual Cabby Uncle who came to fetch me from work one night!!
Capri-Sonna! Have you drank it before? I Love this drink since young! Strawberry flavoured of coz! And a paper crane to make my day =)
Bunny may sucks at drawing but I do love artistic stuffs... and this is one shot I took with my Iphone App at Coffee Club which I kinda love the effect...
Hello Everybody! My Name is Rikka! lol...
Did you realise my hair is getting longer? LOL. I decided to keep long hair for a while... After many years of short hair styles!
Alrighty! Photos Update Completed! haha =p
been thinking of him... Which I know I shouldn't. somehow, he never left my mind, he never left my heart. and I guess some corners of my heart I probably still Love him. But everything is history and it gotta be impossible... Whether anot if one day I am lucky enough to have him come back to me, I will not go back to someone like him anymore. I know if besties and sistas knew abt this, they gonna scold me stupid. But I guess when one truly loves someone, no matter what they did, it's never easy to let go. One or two drops of tears still roll at the thought of him.. recollections of our happy times and torture moments. the facts of what he had lied about and the money he still owes me... love it and hate it.
My heart still aches very much.. silently. I never dare to tell anyone how much I am still hurting in me becoz of him... I mean, I love my life now. I love having a group of supportive friends and family, being who I am, organising events and stuffs, being financially more relaxed, travelling around etc but something is still lacking.
Tomorrow is not for me to tell but I dunno how I could love again. or rather, I probably never knew how to love. silly.
In fact... I think I am afraid to fall in love.
And I shiver at the thought of Marriage. beats me.
I dunno if I am hurting becoz he left me (which shld be a very relief thing for me...) or becoz of what he did & said during the whole break up.
Of so many things that happened and I couldn't remember a single bit, for one particular scene I can't forget.... even though I very much want to...
I remember him in Jean and green t-shirt. A little high from the alcohol, holding me in his arms beneath a void deck near my block... he described to me how we could travel and eat all the nice food when time stops... when I told him "I wish Time stops now.... so I could be in your arms forever, smiling."
I miss you. And I never once lied about my love for you......
I hope you're happy with her. But on top of this I hope we can have a clean cut soon. it's disgusting when you haven't clear your own shit.
sigh. See! I dun even know my feelings towards him. too complex. I only know I've been praying that I dun see him anymore. Love and Hate. It's complicating and it's contradicting! I wonder if I have split personality man. LOL.
Anyway, Rikka is going strong! I'm Miss Power, Mighty BunnY! LOL.
我的小妹Jace今天对我说: "噪音与音乐只是一线之差。" 我不认同但却觉得挺有趣的。
Red Ribbon is moving slow. I wish I could quit my job but for my plans to travel Bangkok and Taiwan again next yr, I gotta Tahan!!!
Good night all! =D
