| The only update is: I'm heading to Japan in a few hours' time! Yippie! Will be back to update with more pics (possibly uploaded to facebook though) and .. it'll be like a travelogue just for a week I suppose? :D
Ah... yes.. my Christmas wishlist!
I wish to thank my very very pretty buttercup (Pei Shan) for the lovely Christmas present - Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom! I know it's definitely over-budget but thank you so much!
Let's see.... anybody else wants to get me presies (asks shamelessly...)? HAHA. I've been eyeing these things recently... Hmm...
1. To have this entire blog printed out and binded :D
2. These specific books
 Perfumes: The A-Z Guide (Turin, Luca; Sanchez, Tania)
 Intervention (Robin Cook)
3. That thing that allows u to store the headphone wires neatly. Ahh.. I found a pic. 
I really think I'm a super bookworm man. Everytime I visit some book sale or a bookshop I'll just have this severe urge to buy the books I see. In fact, I still have at least 10 books I haven't read even though I've bought them. I must really set a target to finish these books on hand first. LOL
Oh well. OK I think that's all for now . HAHA Birthday gifts also welcomed you know!! :D :D :D
Bye peeps!!!! I'll be back next week ! :D

Angels lift you off the ground ... I've got shadows weighing me down ... So what if it hurts me? So what if I break down? So what if this world just throws me off the edge My feet run out of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear myself Don’t care about all the pain in front of me Cause I’m just trying to be happy, I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems It's gonna hurt when it heals It'll all get better in time Yeah... I just wanna be happy  | | |
| Today was the first day I returned to work after a really long break of more than a week. You can imagine just how much I had to drag myself out of bed this morning... and how much I dread going back to work. Gosh. Furthermore, I'm really just counting down to my next trip. Haha
It was funny how when I returned back to the office, all my colleagues thought I was really ill and was given a week medical leave. Well the real reason for the LONG break was because I wanted to mug for my Japanese exams which were one after the other - Bunka Final Exams for Intermediate 3 (5th Dec), and JLPT 4 (6th Dec). They're both finally over! I've already gotten my results for the Intermediate 3 exams - 96/100 (written) and 10/10 (oral)! Yay! :) Now I'll have to wait till next year to get my JLPT 4 results. I wonder if we will actually know the individual scores of each section.... hmmm.. does anyone have any idea ?
Anyway, yesterday after the JLPT 4, I attended Shu Hua and Benedict's wedding. I'm really happy for them honestly. And gosh she has lost so much weight, so slim now! *Envious* I must become like her! I'm still working very very hard towards that goal! Hmm....
Do you ever fantasize about how your own wedding would be like everytime you attend someone else's? (especially you girls!.... do you?)
Do you actually get teary-eyed during wedding dinners, especially when they play those photo montage of how the couple knew one another and all?
Somehow, I think it might just be me....  And I think, everytime I attend a wedding, such an entry follows. \=
Anyways, I'm off to bed. Super tired and I'm going to catch up on my beauty sleep! I should blog about my Christmas wishlist next time round haha. KEEP AN EYE ON IT IF YOU'RE INTENDING TO BUY ME A PRESIE!!! :P

| I'm back from my 3D2N Batam trip with Dearie! It was our first trip together and in fact, my first holiday without my family. My parents have never allowed me to go on holidays, not even with my friends, so I guess this trip was really kind of like a breakthrough. Then again, this trip was actually decided upon much later after we had already booked our trip to Central Japan. Haha..
Anyway, we were very happy with the place where we lived - Tempat Senang spa resort and restaurant. At the Customs, not only were we greeted by one of the resort staff, with a taxi already waiting for us, we were pleasantly surprised to be briefed through our whole stay at the resort by the owner herself - Jasmine!
Our room, was seriously .... HUGE. Take a look at the photos found on the website, as well as those I've uploaded up to FACEBOOK and you'll really know what I mean. :) We had a king-sized bed, our own plasma tv and a jacuzzi! We had a huge collection of DVDs which we could choose from at the reception counter, and a 4GB thumbdrive attached to our room key,into which we could transfer movies or songs from the common PC, also at the reception area.
The whole area was so cosy and friendly, because of the personalized services, and away from the hubbub of city life and usual holiday crowds, because there were only 6 luxury suites, so much so that at any one time, only a maximum of about 6 couples are present in the vicinity. The personalized services included things such as booking of reasonable and safe taxis and arranging for your day trips (shopping or Riau Islands getaway) and food! The entire kitchen cum restaurant was basically just catering to us, so ... we had to place orders for our food the day before. You can imagine how freshly-cooked our meals were since they were prepared on the spot. Their house specials were also reasonably price. We recommend the Beer-can chicken, the Lemon Garlic Butter Grilled Fish, and the Beef Rendang. Superb and cheap in my opinion.
And yes the spa..... included in our package was a 3 hour couples spa. From the spa menu, we could choose up to 3 items. Dearie and I had their most popular Cinnamon Body Scrub and Traditional Indonesian Massage (SHIOK man this one), followed by Honey and Oatmeal Facial for me and Hot herbal compresses for Dearie. Completely worth it!
All in all, it was a great trip although most of the time was spent slacking (In Singlish: "nua-ing") in the room. Somehow it had been ages since we got to spend whole days with each other. So even simple activities like snuggling up in the room watching DVDs together, walking around aimlessly in the shopping centre were things that were so valuable.
In short, we're highly recommending this place to all! It's... hmmm, more for couples in my opinion, but of course there are families who have gone there before and even all-girls or all-guys trip is alright. If you're deciding to book the place, please do remember to state "LEAF #51" and my name or Dearie's name (Loh Wai Yeong)! There's a referral system :P
