My first Berrrrberry shirt for Xmas!

Sentosa @ Singapore

I was at Singapore for Christmas.. and the main reason for going there was to see the christmas decorations and lightings.... Apart from that is shopping shopping and shopping.. of course :D

I managed to squeeze in half a day to visit Sentosa. Mum, Aunt and I went to the island by cable car from the Jewel Box. The ride from the hilltop to the island took us about 15 minutes.

Before reaching..I camwhored a bit in the cable car :)

Sentosa's cable car station The ever famous, Merlion.. We visited the underwater world too. Not many fishes there anymore compared to many years ago.

Trying to catch some fishes in the aquarium

Do you know all the parts of the crab?

Are you afraid of sharks? They are scary...

Seafood in Port Village Restaurant

I've been working in Klang for the past 4 months and this is the first time I'm trying out Klang seafood at North port klang. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the port area from where I'm working.

There are many restaurants overlooking the sea but we went to this restaurant called Port Village.

This restaurant is built on stilts and when we were there, it's low tide. We can see mangrove (Bakau) trees .. This reminds me of geography.. haha.. I learnt that during my school days.

We could see many crabs and mudskippers too...

Part of my project team members.. :)

Below are some pictures taken from where I'm seating.

Mid Valley and The Gardens

If you notice my two previous posts, you will find that the entries were all about malls.. I plan to visit every mall in KL during this Xmas season (If I manage to) and try to do a comparison among them. So for this entry, it's none other than Mid Valley and The Gardens.



Mid Valley




Mid Valley uses leaves as their theme for this year. I cant confirm whether it's maple leaf they are using or it's some other type of leaf. Can anyone confirm? Here is the picture of the leaf...




I'm in the wild with beautiful butterflies and some wild plants..



Look at what I've found in the wild.. A dancing lady...

The Gardens

The Gardens has a few Christmas trees at the concourse area and the ornaments tied to the trees are fruits. :)

Yummy yummy green apple! Take a bite.. and I'll be sleeping beauty.. hehe

Pavillion

My mum and I went to Pavillion to check out their xmas deco. Their decoration was simple and nice. I'm not too sure what is their theme but I guess 'Celebration' suits them..




They have a gigantic "Human Xmas tree" at the concourse area whereby at certain time, the choir will perform christmas carols..


Meanwhile at the entrance of the mall, there's a different activity going on.. I think there were about 20 of them.. all dressed up in different costumes..

Ms peacock and Rudolf the red nose reindeer?? But her nose isn't red...

No idea what's this... A man in GOld mask.. haha

Blue genie... with black tights.. ahha

Masquerades... Don't they look like one them in Phantom of the opera??

1U & Thank you girls

Had a date with the girls.. (Denise, Rachel and Yokiee) at 1U for lunch & Xmas shopping.. I brought along my camera to take pictures because I knew that 1U will be nicely decorated during the Xmas month.

The theme for 1U this month is 'Toy Soldier'.


From left : Yokiee, Rachel, myself & Denise

Just next to the stage, we found two real life toy soldiers. Dont they look like the Royal Guard London? Guys, go take a pic with them.. You don't have to go all the way to london to get this picture taken.. hehe :D

Went round the mall.. Take some pictures...before starting our shopping business... I like this pic below....caressing the Toy Soldier..


After half an hour of "snap snap, click click", we proceeded to Parkson..

Rachel told us that she wanted to get a perfume for herself and asked my opinion which perfume is nice. I told her I'm using Addict from CD. Denise suggested Issey Miyake.

Anyway, when we passed by Anna Sui's counter, the perfume bottles attracted us. So we went there and tried few of their fragrances. The smell was pretty good. Floral and has a touch of sweet scent.. She sprayed it on her and smelled it again. She said that she liked it.. and went to search for a gift set with the perfume in it and decided to get it.

So off we went to the counter to pay. After paying it, she passed the bag to me and said that it was a Birthday cum Xmas gift for me from the three of them.... OOohhhh Mmmmyyyy... I wasn't expecting this.. I was so surprised...

Thank you so much GIRLS!!!! Muacks muacks!

My lovely Gift set of from Anna Sui.. Contains a bottle of perfume, a tube of shower gel and a bag. It's my first Birthday Pressie as well.... :D

Mini Christmas Tree

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Christmas is just round the corner but why can't I feel it?????

So... I've decided to get myself a mini Xmas tree... and... Tada! Tada!



I managed to find a small spot on my table and place it next to my laptop. :)

I'm sure this cutie lil Christmas tree will brighten up my day! :D Oh wait.. I think something else is missing from the tree.... why don't I have Christmas presents underneath the tree? ehehe

My thoughts..

I'm not in the mood of writing these days.. There's so much things to tell but I just couldn't put it in words and write it out... The end of the year is approaching and it's a good time to sit down, clear your mind and think of what you've done so far.

It's a bit scary to think about it. The clock is ticking and I'm getting older and...... not many things get accomplised yet..... sighz...

All these made me feel miserable lately... Where's the Happy Kate? Need to find my soul back...

Shopaholic

Help me!!! I've gotten myself into impulsive buying... :( For the past few months, I've been buying clothes non-stop.. mostly every week. If it's not at the mall, then it's through online shopping.. Arggss.. this is killing me...

Look at this wardrobe. It's not my wardrobe at home. This is just a temporary wardrobe to store all my working attires at my aunts place in Kemuning Utama. (I'm staying at her place temporarily while I'm based at a client's place in Klang). I still have two more wardrobes back at my own place and it's as full as this.. *bleh*
Sales started during the weekend.. and???? More Shopping of course.. haha.. Another bag full of clothes.

Not forgetting, I ordered 5 pieces of clothes from Taiwan last month and it's arriving next week... Whoaa... I think I need another wardrobe??

Velvet @ Deepavali Eve

From left : Yokiee, Ivory & myself.. Partayyyy PaRtay pArTAYyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

It was Deepavali eve and my colleague asked me to join her gang of friends for a night out at Velvet, Zouk. Since it's a holiday the next day, I agreed.

I reached there at about 11:30pm and was shocked when I saw the crowd. We joined the crazy crowd queuing up just to gain entry.

After about half an hour in the queue, we finally got in to velvet. Luckily my colleague's friend managed to reserve a table for us. Else, we'll just have to stand by the bar. Anyway, while we were in the queue, there's this hunk queuing behind us and so happen, he had a table reserved as well and it's just next to ours..

Whoaa... All the girls went ga-ga and guess what we did. My colleague and her friends tried to pose next to the bloke, and me aka the photographer, was supposed to get a shot of the hunk instead of them.

My first attempt..

FAILED! Cannot see him clearly.. Zoom ZOOM ZOOOOMM!!!

haha... I know i know.. cannot see him clearly.. but can see he has nice features rite? :D

The New Kate

I'm a bit bored with my hairstyle and I've been contemplating on whether to cut it short or long.

And the result of my decision is :----

Tada!

And The colour of my hair has changed to MAHAGONY which has a slight touch of red! haha..
