Where or who do you turn to when you are feeling blue or simply dreadful?
I know a lot of my friends turn to their partners or close friends and colleagues for support and guidance...but I prefer, sometimes, to keep things inside and wish for those feelings to just go away.
If all else fails, I can always count on Oprah for some guidance and consolation.
I just did that. Visited Oprah.com and read an article on Love. "The Un-Couple: Just Friends...Really"
Instant gratification for a lost soul like me. The article re-arranged my thoughts, and I now know what my stand is on a certain relationship. It suddenly cleared my mind of negative thoughts that have plagued me for the past 2.5 years.
Thanks Dear, for being unconditionally understanding throughout this period. I think you are the greatest! And you deserve my greatest love....

Wang Lee HoMania
I stood for 3 hours, all the while tip-toeing to catch Wang Lee Hom LIVE IN ACTION at the Indoor Stadium.
Zhimian and I were screaming throughout, and totally exhausted ourselves on Saturday. Simply unforgettable when he said his pants were too tight.....oh my god it was so freaking sexy! I think I was the only one screaming when he said that...ssseeessshhh can't believe I could go so crazy over him. *blush*
And then there was another unforgettable moment when I was only 3 feet away from the Music Man himself. Yes! He walked along the aisle where we were sitting, and I was about to lean over the 2 policewoman standing guard in front of me, in a bid to touch him. But alas! I was pushed over by the wave of crazy fans BESIDE me at the very last minute.
Note: they were beside me, not in front of me, so I was in fact not blocked at all, and it was totally possible that I would be able to grab a piece of Lee Hom that night!
WTH, so in the end I was pushed away and nearly fell. But I caught a glimpse of Wang Lee Hom just as I was about to fall. That 3-second seem to be frozen in time and the image of him would last me a lifetime...........oh man.......................so damn handsome......
Zhimian even managed to take a shot of him while she was falling. Best shot of the night Babe!
He was that close okay..........
Check out his bod
And then after a shower when I returned home that night, while patting my legs dry with my towel, I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my left knee. There, I found a huge bump and bruise. And I recalled the fall earlier- during all that mania around me, I bumped into a chair. Damn.
But it was all worth it.
Thanks Dear for the tickets to the best concert of the year! Muuuuaaaacccks!

Woohoo...my 2009 schedule book!
I was presented with a nice pink-purplish box one evening, when I met up with some old classmates for BBQ. Turns out it was a thoughtful gift by a long-time best friend Ms Lin Peiqiao =)
She remembers my favourite flower, and left a small stalk of pink Tulip on top of a 2009 schedule book. Yes, we are all organised freaks, and we love cutesy schedule books to detail our not-so-cute work commitments.
Thanks Babe! The book is really CUTE!

Thanks Love...Muacks!
My Dear is so sweet, he surprised me by putting 2 tickets to Wang Lee Hom's concert in my bag, on the day that I was supposed to do my teeth extraction!.....he hopes this "little surprise" will help sooth any pain later on.
This $400 surprise is not "little" at all my love.
And what's most touching is, my Dear is asking me to go watch with Zhimian!! He says I will enjoy it more with her, since he can't appreciate Lee Hom's performance...............
(I think he doesn't want to see me salivate lah...haha!)
I was laughing all the way to the dentist, definitely took some of my fears away. At least for a while =)

Wedding bells are ringing.......
Not mine! It's Rachel, my Netball team mate and her Hubby Damian (Eric's Squash team mate). They tied the knot after 11years of dating, at the Regent Hotel on 20 Sep.
Yea I know it looks messy, but it's cos Eric don't know how to take photos!!!! It's actually v nice..
"While I am not looking..."
20 09 2008, nice date! And it was a grand affair, with 55 tables in total! The food was good. It was a 9 course meal, with delicacies like braised sea cucumber, steamed cod fish, big big tiger prawns....etc etc...
Rachel looked beautiful, she resembles a Hong Kong star with her make up and gown! Very unlike the Rachel I see on court, with her sports attire and coloured hairband on. Damian looked great too, never seen him so awake before, he always has a sleepy look whenever I see him at the squash courts.
Eric and I cam-whoring after the dinner:
My M)phosis jumpsuit. Very comfortable, but a nightmare when you need to use the bathroom. You have to remove the whole suit to be able to do business, big or small! Damn irritating....
"While I am not looking..."
"ok, last pic for tonight, let's get changed, bathe and zzzzz"
"She's still at it?!?!?"
Happy Birthday to Me!
Just celebrated my 24th Birthday last week. OMG, can't believe I am hitting the big 30s in a few years' time! SAD.......
Here are some photos of my celebration with Zenith friends and Eric:
Dinner was fantastic. Love the lychee flavoured tea and Japanese skewers. We couldn't resist ordering some oysters to kick start our lovely night together! hahaha.....

New developments at work
Woohoo! Finally some positive news at work. Remember awhile ago I was so damn pissed with my immediate superior, and now my Big Boss has decided to take me under his wing instead. So now, I report directly to him! Yipeeeeee.......!

Handwriting analysis
Most people with a severe leftward slant have some type of childhood trauma they have yet to work through. Since we didn't actually "see the writing", we can't tell if she actually has a hard left emotional slant, but if so... she has issues with trust and it is likely rooted in childhood.
Pam has withdrawn into herself. She is reserved and shows her feelings only at times of great anger, extreme passion, or tremendous stress. Pam is an introvert. She makes decisions based on logic, therefore she is rarely impulsive. She doesn't find any need for expressing her emotions. In fact, she probably sees this emotional expression as an unnecessary waste of time. She has a hard time relating to an extreme extrovert, although it is common for her to be attracted to one. Many people do not understand Pam; it is difficult for them to really know how Pam feels. Pam enjoys being alone, and probably prefers working alone. Working with her hands is a pleasure.
Pam's basic nature is to look out for herself first. Although she can and does feel emotions, perhaps as deeply as anyone, she just almost always harbors them inside.
The first time someone angers Pam, she probably will not say anything to that person at that time. However, she will mentally keep track of everything this person does wrong to her until she cannot hold her emotions inside any longer. Then; Boom! Pam will cloud up and rain all over them. And she will never regret telling someone off, because she knew what she was saying the entire time. She won't impulsively tell someone off.
Emotional stories will not sway Pam. She thinks totally with judgment, first considering every situation by the effect it will have on her.
Pam needs space and time alone. She will be much more efficient if given a job alone, rather than being surrounded by people.
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Pam doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Pam is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.
Pam can be defiant. She sometimes has the attitude that if someone doesn't like it the way she is doing it, then they can just "go to hell!" This trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which she thinks are infringing upon her freedom of action.
In reference to Pam's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Pam slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.
She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Pam can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Pam's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Pam that she wasn't a great and beautiful person, and she believed them. Pam also has a fear that she might fail if she takes large risks. Therefore she resists setting her goals too high, risking failure. She doesn't have the internal confidence that frees her to take risks and chance failure. Pam is capable of accomplishing much more than she is presently achieving. All this relates to her self-esteem. Pam's self-concept is artificially low. Pam will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because she is afraid that if she makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Pam to plan too far into the future. She kind of takes things on a day to day basis. She may tell you her dreams but she is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud she speaks, look at her actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Pam is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.
Pam is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.
Pam is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.

Surprise Surprise...
Thanks Yang Bo, for the nice surprise...although it came a little too early =p
The pretty card and keychain bring some colours to my boring work desk.....
Count on me Singapore.....
It was a boring NDP 2008 I must say........other than the oversized red plastic raincover which everyone scrambled to put on before the drizzle hit us- a funny sight to behold, the parade was at best plain and unappealing (at least to me).
The Green Sector~
Oversized, so unglam
Bored...
Not sure about Eric though...he was too engrossed with his goodie bag. Frantically searching for his "inflatable hand" and swirling fan. At one point, he even said to me "Where is my fan? Why I don't have fan?! I want to go and change my goodie bag!"
"You go and change lor, I wait here for you..." I couldn't believe my dear was so upset over his missing fan.....so cute..
Lucky he didn't made his way down to change, because we later found out that the fan was actually placed under our seats! wahahahahahaa............
(Dear I know you were joking with me la, I know you are not that crazy, go all the way down to change your goodie bag just because of a fan! But I gotta blog this because you looked real funny then.....keke...)
Here are some photos that we took, out of boredom.....

oops...
oops....according to my Dear, I've been rather cranky recently. Keep having mood swings that are even more fickle than the Singapore weather, and saying weird stuff that puzzles him to no end.
The stresses of Life has gotten to me. Sorry bout that. Appreciate your patience in me.
I'm still trying to become a Black-belt Communicator, realise my honours degree in Communications doesn't help at all when it comes to real life situations.

Living Day By Day......
So it's now down to this- I will live day by day from now on. If things really get to a stage where I would rather clear the ever spilling rubbish bin at the base of my block than going to office, I will leave. If things are still tolerable, I will stay.
Sad that reality finally hit me- There is no perfect job in this world. I believe many of you can also attest to this. So, I guess we all just have to suck it in and carry on living day by day.

I'm thinking...and thinking...
I've been harbouring evil thoughts lately, I'm not afraid to announce. Been thinking of ways and means to kill off that one nasty pest in my office. Yes, the blackie that has been making my life very difficult.
Wish I could slap and squish her, or rather, slap and squish "it" to bits of black dust. Because "it" is simply nothing. "it" cannot do simple task in the office, "it" always have to bother others with "it's" projects, and "it" is too forgetful to assume any role in the office.
"it" is having some issues with "itself" but can't seem to realise "it's" problem is in "itself", and not the other people in the office.
One day, when "it" realises that many people actually hate working with her in the office, It will be too late!

Darl's away for 11 days!!
Suffering from away-from-eric syndrome. Not sure why this time I miss him so much. Maybe because of the stress I am getting at work, and hence desperately need him by my side for support.
Also down with a bad sorethroat and fever.
Hope this 11 days will pass by in a jiffy.....

National League
So far all the games that we have played were hard-fought ones. None of the games allowed us to slacken, even for a few minutes.
Santa Fe's game was tough physically and mentally since they were all tall and strong players who did not think twice about using their body to contest every ball. Also since we were down 2 goals for the first 2 quarters, it was a tough fight to close the gap. And when we were finally up 3 goals ahead, we lost the lead within a few minutes before the final whistle. In the end, we walked away with a draw.
29-29.
What an exhausting game. I have never pushed myself that far before, so Santa Fe's game was really memorable. This particular game made me realise how strong I could be mentally. It is a huge improvement for me to stay in the game mentally, even though physically I was totally gone. I had nothing left in me after the game, except for a wave of satisfaction, a very uplifting sort of feeling that I had played my best and gave it all I had.
Now I know why they always say, "as long as you did your best..." Truly, I had no regrets after the game even though we could have won it.
Last night we played Llab 10 Hearts. Won by 3 goals, but could have won by a greater margin I felt. I didn't think I played very well for this game, but several team mates have said that I did a good job. So I guess maybe I have set my expectations a little high given my state of fitness level. How I wish I had better fitness and stamina! Then I can make stronger drives on court, and provide more support for my team mates.
This afternoon we will be playing against team Bedok. Again, this game is not going to be easy, with the hot afternoon sun and experienced Bedok players, it is going to be another battle for Zenith.
Division 3 is TOUGH!
Wish us luck!

Thanks Dear for taking this step and working towards our future. I know you feel kind of sad during this transition period. Hope this will all be worthwhile. Or rather, let's make this all worthwhile.
Love ya!

My dear friendsssssssss Part 2
I met Seryin on the MRT platform finally! Both of us, being "aunty" and kiasu, grabbed our seats and started talking non-stop. It's a good feeling to meet up with close friends and chat up again so easily, as if we have never been apart for so long. No akward moments, felt like we were back in secondary school days again.
Thursday, June 05, 2008
Dear's back!
Eric's back from his Aussie trip....but he has no time for me!! Bah.......he's totally swamped with exams, coaching and umpiring.
More good news for him...will not announce here yet since things have not been firmed up, but yeah....it's gonna be a good year for him ahead =)
Jia you dear!!

My dear friendsssssssss
Was late for work this morning, caught the 845am train instead of the usual 815am, but met with a nice surprise!
I was about to dash into an empty train but missed it by 1 sec! Feeling dejected and a little paiseh, I turned and walk away..and that's when I saw a pretty figure walking in my direction. With her long flowing hair and cute black specs, I almost couldn't recognise my best friend. LIN PEIQIAO! I bumped into my best friend for the 1st time on the mrt platform since we stepped into the working world. Always missed her although we take the same train to work everyday.
You can guess that we talked non-stop in the train...although it was only a short ride (from yishun to toa payoh) but we managed to do some catching up. Good feeling! and a nice start to a sucky Tuesday.
More good news when I checked my personal mail earlier on. Got a reply from another best friend, KOH ZHIMIAN! This netball buddy of mine went to Norway for a 6month exchange programme, and she is finally returning on 10th June! 2 more weeks before I can train with her again!! Yeah! Looking forward to see her soon.
Hope she don't slang with me when she returns. I will slap her face! hahaha....

Miss you!
Eric's so sweet, or evil, whichever way you see it, that he gave me a keychain with torchlight just before he left for Aussie land. It's a couple keychain, and he holds the other half with him.
Nearly made me cry! BAh.....lucky I managed to hold back my tears. He says when I miss him at night I can light it up....
I just lighted up last night.

Updates!
Been really busy the past week, work has been crazy...not sure why so many tasks landed on my plate!
Boss has decided to confirm me since I've completed 3months in the Association. It came as a surprise because the probation period is 6months. Somehow I feel there is a motive behind this decision, as I have to give 2 months tender notice after confirmation.......haiz.....so now I can't leave within a short notice period of 2 weeks! Perhaps the only incentive that I can look forward to after confirmation is the July bonus!
Mixed feelings I have...subconsciously I think I enjoy what I'm doing here at the Association. Sometimes just seeing the smiles on the faces of members makes my day. One of the members' mom even fed me with her special concoction of honey apple citrus tea. She says its good for health. This morning, she gave me 2 durian sweets! Nice people around here...
Of course there are days when I really feel like throwing my resignation letter in the face of my boss. Sucky attitude she has at times.
Funny that right after I typed the above, my Director called me into his room...and says he wants to confirm me as well! haha...he must have sensed my intentions to leave...but oh well, since they are confirming me in just 3months, it shows that they appreciate the work that I have done here.
Eric's flying off tomorrow night to Aussie land for an umpiring assignment. Gonna miss him for a week. Anyone who wants to date me for the next week please book now!! If not I'm just gonna rot at home.................................

One of the members' mom even fed me with her special concoction of honey apple citrus tea. She says its good for health. This morning, she gave me 2 durian sweets! Nice people around here...
Of course there are days when I really feel like throwing my resignation letter in the face of my boss. Sucky attitude she has at times.
Funny that right after I typed the above, my Director called me into his room...and says he wants to confirm me as well! haha...he must have sensed my intentions to leave...but oh well, since they are confirming me in just 3months, it shows that they appreciate the work that I have done here.
Eric's flying off tomorrow night to Aussie land for an umpiring assignment. Gonna miss him for a week. Anyone who wants to date me for the next week please book now!! If not I'm just gonna rot at home.................................

Congrats Eric!
Wow, this is one of the many times that I have congratulated you this year. Once again, congrats on clinching the NSL best umpire award this year! All the hard work that you've put in have finally reaped some rewards. Bet it was a sweet moment for you...
Keep working hard and more successes will be coming your way. =)

30 April 2008
Tomorrow marks the 2nd year of being with this guy named Eric. Seems just like yesterday when I interviewed Eric for my school assignment. I can still vividly recall the bounce in his strides, and the cheeky smile on his face the first time I met him.
Fast forward to today, Eric's bouncing strides and cheeky smile still is a big part of him. Seems like nothing has changed, but only Eric and I knows how much both of us have changed in this relationship.
I am not sure how this guy, who had once put me off with his snide sarcastic remarks, chided me for living in my own fairytale fantasy, scared the shit outta me with his hot-headedness, irritated me insanely with his "manly" ideologies (read MCP!!), wormed his way into my heart.
Slowly, but surely, Eric has won me over. and over. As a result, we have inherited some of each other's irritating traits. Just yesterday I was involved in a quarrel with some old uncles playing squash at YCK squash courts. Couldn't help but shout back at them for not displaying sportsmanship and starting a physical brawl with Eric. Not the usual Pam I would think, definitely not one who would want to attract the attention of everyone at the squash courts, and without blushing immensely by doing so. Must be the Eric in me that took over. Felt damn shiok afterwards, finally made my point heard, instead of usually bottling it up.
But the most shiok part of this relationship, is to see the once hot-headed, sarcastic, irritating and MCP Eric change so much for me. Not that he is a total Angel now, but trust me, you wouldn't want to step on his toes 2 years back.
So this week is our special week, and we have great plans to celebrate it. A rented Suzuki Swift (yes! for 7days!), a Spa retreat and a nice dinner.....Love you baby!
Happy 2nd Anniversay!

Withdrawal Symptoms
I must admit, I'm not a fan of Korean dramas. But after chasing 22 episodes of the latest Korean drama on Channel U, "Oh Su Jung VS Karl", I'm now a convert.
After catching the finale episode last night, I'm now suffering from withdrawal symptoms. It's easy to know, because you will keep re-playing the "saranghandamyon" tune in your head. And you find yourself flutter your eyelids the way Wu Xiujing does it ever so innocently. Worse of all, you find yourself grinning whenever the image of Karl's dimpled smile and slightly tousled tresses pops into your head....and it does happen quite often.
Okay...I find myself having all the above mentioned withdrawal symptoms. I can't seem to quit this addiction simply because "Oh Su Jung VS Karl" is such an artfully shot drama depicting the ugly truths of life.
As dragged as it may be, but hey, that’s life isn’t it? Not everything flies past. Some heartbreaking moments in life seem to drag on forever ya? But of course, the sweet times linger too…
So, I’m looking forward to ride the next K-wave. I know I’m already late.

Catch me in action!
Jaded
Feels like I'm dreaming..or maybe I wish I were dreaming.
Why do I have to be the last to know...wish I hadn't "found it out" myself. Didn't expect to be hit so hard by it, bothers me so much now.
Maybe honesty isn't the best policy after all.
Think this round I really need more time to get over it. May be something small to you, or even insignificant. But it does affect me much, to say the least.

Peeping Tom at Yishun Blk 305
Yishun-ers beware! There is a peeping tom at blk 305. Yes! it's MY block. How suay!
Again I caught this guy using a binoculars staring into my kitchen unit as I was entering the toilet. Yesterday was the 3rd time i caught this stupid idiot do his perverted act. And he is damn bloody stupid to think that he could hide behind his tinted window with his bino without anyone noticing! How stupid can a man get. He was fully exposed for all to see since the sunlight was shining brightly into his unit. And he was half naked. Sick.
Again I told Eric who was beside me and this cheeky monkey waved to him. That stupid idiot got a shock and jumped behind his curtains--AGAIN. This is the 2nd time we did this to him........I guess some people just never learn. How stupid. And how funny this scene is, I can't help laughing whenever I think of it.
So this time I could take it down no longer. After my breakfast (to power myself up) I went with Eric to confront this stupid idiot. All along I had this thought that it was a young guy, probably one who is starting to learn about the birds and bees, and perhaps his learning got too outta hand. Never did I think that this stupid idiot would be a married man probably in his late 30s...and worse still....an Army Regular. How sick.
I pressed on the doorbell and I saw this idiot sitting in the living room with his naked back facing me. I knew instantly it was this guy. He didn't want to answer. He just sat there. So I shouted for him to come out. And he gave me that stunned face, like he didn't know someone was at his door. Poor acting. Giveaway number 1.
So we created a hoo-ha at his front door and of course, this idiot denied his act. And he was stupid enough to say that he is an Army Regular and it's very normal for him to have a bino at home. Giveaway number 2.
Shame on him! He is a disgrace to all the Army Personnel out there searching their hearts out for Mas Selamat. And shame on him for thinking that he could hide behind a tinted window, imagine if he goes to war with this kind of pri-sch level mentality. I tell you even Pri school kids are smarter than him.
And I feel sorry for his wife. Yes this idiot has a wife. His wife still had to cover up for him saying that they just came home from exercise, so not possible that her husband was the one. So I guess she thought we saw a ghost? Giveaway number 3. Freaking wake up la....stupid woman.
We warned the guilt-ridden face (Giveaway number 4) and told him we would call the police if we catch him doing his thing again. And as we left the cheeky monkey shouted very loudly "Aiya got wife already still do this kind of thing, go and make a baby la!" Kaoz...for a moment I wanted to hide my face and run....haha.
Still fuming, I decided to make a police report, since the nearest police post was just 5 min away. However, the policeman said that they could not do anything now since we do not have evidence. No 3rd party witness or photograph evidence.
Like the guy will stand still at his window and let me take a picture of him with the bino? Haiz. Where is justice??
The policeman advised, the next time we see him doing it call 999. They can then go up and warn him and take down his particulars. So moral of the story is....don't waste your time making a trip down to police post since they would not reward you with the effort. Simply call 999 and flood the lines, together with those who might be calling to report Mas Selamat sightings!
And hopefully the police arrives before this guy throws away his bino.

My 3rd visit to Botanic Gardens in a month!
Good things don't always come in pairs....I've stuck my footprints on the pathways of Botanic Gardens. Been there 3 times in a month!
My cousin with her act cute smile..
First time was to bring a group of disabled people to the scenic gardens for oil painting.
Second time I went there for a National Parks Board meeting. Free buffet lunch provided! And they gave us a pot of flowers to bring back! It was so beautiful. But guess what....it died 3 days later. Why? Because my Manager wanted it placed in her office, where sunlight and fresh air didn't exist. But I think more likely the flower died because of the mess in her room. What a pity.
Third time I went with my family on a Sat morning. They wanted to do some morning exercise. So I went with my running gear.....but decided against a run since the place was quite crowded. Took a slow walk with my family, and captured some shots.

My Mom and Aunt- the potato sisters!
My mom and her fake orange Addidas top..wahaha

Blogging out of boredom
Disclaimer: Please don't read if you are feeling bored too.
Completed my 2nd week at work, beginning to "discover" certain things about my boss...
Oh god, she doesn't even know how to do copy and paste! I had to show her how to do it. Beginning to wonder if I can learn much from her.........
She keeps cutting people off when they are speaking, and doesn't like to reply to emails....you tell me how?
To quit or not to quit, that is the question.

Art therapy at Botanic Gardens
Just 1 week into my new job, I had the opportunity to tag along with one of the Art Therapy classes held by the Handicaps Welfare Association. Together with several disabled members, we went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens for an oil-painting session. This was also my first close contact with disabled people.
I talked with some of them, and made friends with some very nice people. One of them, Mdm Daisy, kept thanking me for pushing her around. Made me a little embarrassed as I really did not do much for her. What's more, I nearly caused a minor accident when I forgot to apply the wheelchair brakes on a minor slope while I went around taking pictures! Felt damn idiotic and sorry. Fortunately I managed to grab her wheelchair in time. God knows what would happen otherwise....*shudder* Maybe the next day's paper headline would read,
"New staff at Handicaps Welfare Assoc kills a disabled member on her 1st week at work"
Bleh..
Anyways, I had a great time at Botanic Gardens. Will definitely go back again with Eric to pak toh!
Here are some pics I took:
Mdm Daisy with her pretty green scarf bought in India
Group photo!
