Welcome to my world!

Somewhere between my fantasy and what is real

You know you love me...xoxo

Ahhh....the glitzy and glamorous life of the Upper East Side. The VIP parties, the beach for beautiful tans, $$$$$ dinners, caviar, champagne and more alcohol. And to top it off, a summer rendezvous that fits into the idea of the perfect Manhattan summer. Who did??? I'll never tell.....it's a dirty little secret....

yummy...my aphrodisiac

BFFs

Now I can spend the rest of the year reminiscing about my days (more like months but who's counting) not working and partying and having fun with my partner in crime who, like me didn't work as well as friends we met along the way. The rain pours outside and the days get a little colder...luckily I have Gossip Girl to keep me company......

Yeah now that summer is over, its time to get back on my ass and start working. Life is unexpected in many ways....part of my summer was spent sending resumes to get a job but nothing happened. Once I got a job, the ball started rolling. Now I have another 2 interviews set up for next week. Fingers crossed for the working visa...otherwise we would have to use the backup plans. It's so weird that Bella and I started working on the same day....I guess playtime is over.        

Fall is approaching and people seem to get more emotional. I don't know why I didn't mention this is in my blog but Ryan and I were over a long time ago. It just occurred to me when a friend asked me about my 'boyfriend' and I asked which one and she said the one on my blog. Well it's been over for many months now. We both moved on. No further details. Back to emotions...I recently received a confession way overdue. Yet....better to face the music than not? On the other hand, I can't seem to say many things I want to. Let's just say I'm emotionally drained...or jaded. I'm just gonna play by ear. Less complicated. 

Wow....in 2 days I witnessed 2 dramas unfold on the Upper East. What is the world becoming? During dinner at a fancy restaurant, 3 guys and a girl created a scene in front of the restaurant with bloody noses, plenty of swearing and punches trying to be thrown around. Even the cops got involved and the girl apparently knew all of them. Ugh...not the most delectable way to end my meal. 

The next day, as I was walking home from work, this obese lady with no sense in fashion whatsoever bitched out 3 girls dressed in little outfits who were walking next to me. We were the only 5 people on the street that time. She specifically addressed them as 3 sluts and 3 whores. They were so shocked that they couldn't even retaliate for 5 seconds before all of them called her lame-0-names like fat bitch blah blah blah. The whole scene was amusingly funny. It's so weird how that lady would lash out to people she didn't know without any warning. She must have been hot-o-phobic. But if those girls were her friends, she would have been their slave or whatever let alone ever have the guts to tell them that, even if according to her they were "sluts who slept with all the men in NYC". Hey girls, save some for the rest of us.  

Well as the summer ends, fall brings new possibilities and as the weather gets colder and the leaves turn color, its also a great way to warm up to your loved ones. Just don't get too close or you might end up feeling the heat. Until then, you know you love me. XOXO

My Olympics posting

Everyone blogged about Olympics so I might as well jump on the bandwagon considering I've been watching a lot of it. I don't really have much to say for Lee Chong Wei except...you did Malaysia proud for bringing home the silver medal and yourself 300k! That's a lot of shoes and clothes or drinking sessions in your case you know! He didn't exactly play the best game but hey....you win some, you lose some. Besides, Lin Da was amazing on the court. I was cheering for Malaysia of course even when I knew that in the end it was just to make noise around the house mumbling, grumbling and screaming every minute. Congratulations to the winners. Just wished US channels would show more badminton.  

Gymnastics was probably one of the sports I watched the most during Olympics. Hurray for both US and China. It was so difficult choosing who to root for when gymnastics come up. It was a good thing I watched most of it at home, otherwise I would have gotten beaten up when I was pleased by the fact that the He Kexin of China won against Luikin of USA even though the method of judging wasn't very fair. Zheng Fei on the other hand didn't do a good job so it was up to the rest of them to cover her ass. Shawn Johnson was amazing. That smile itself deserves gold! So yes, on the whole I cheered for China for gymnastics against USA. It's not where you are, it's who you are. I guess my Asian blood runs deep. Although I did cheer for the 33 year old woman who won silver and I was happy if an American won. I'm not that bias ok!

But like the rest of US, I cheered for Phelps! He was amazing!!!!! Definitely deserves to be the greatest Olympian in my opinion. Go 1000000 for Baltimore and your mama!!!! Just wish he could give me the secret for staying so thin while consuming 10000 calories a day! Oh yeah, maybe it's training and exercise he goes through. Oh well...I can just go on daydreaming what I could gorge in and still stay thin. 

Beach volleyball was so fun to watch. Both US and China were amazing. Congrats Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Team USA deserved to win. Apart from the game, beach volleyball was such an eye candy! In my opinion, the white uniforms USA wore were the nicest even though someone said China had the best. That's Asian fetish for you.   

Wished I had seen the match for Nadel. Congratulations on being No. 1 player in the world! Boo for Federer this time. I was shocked he lost to Blake. Oh....they were having a US Open event at the W Hotel next to my house 2 nights ago. I was watching from the window trying to spot all the hot players. Too bad I got bored and hungry. Otherwise I could have dressed up and gone downstairs to search for a rich 'player'. Maybe next time....


Yes ma I'm still alive

Whoever said living the easy life could be well....easy? I know many people have been complaining about my lack of motivation to work again and staying in New York instead of going home. This has made many people unhappy thinking I'm a selfish, lazy bitch who does nothing but prance around the streets of Manhattan everyday and eat,shop, sleep and spend others money. Sorry to disappoint you people but...I do that in Manhattan and OTHER PLACES too!

Just got back from my second trip to Miami. This time was with Bella and Steve and Jason with his friends. From the morning where we were so late to the airport anyone would be surprised we even boarded, to all the weird energy going on from everyone while we were there, this trip kinda makes me wish I was drunk 24/7.  With all the drama that went on, I'm still contemplating if I had a good time there or not but this was definitely a memorable trip. Being at the beach by myself half the time was a refreshing experience. I've never been the kind who liked going on vacations alone but walking alone really gives you an opportunity to breath in the beauty and not so beautiful things that happen around you. I've come to realize that not moving to Miami was a wise decision for me. Being with Jas the last time opened all doors to fun and spontaneity and just hanging out. This time I walked 50 blocks of road, sand and grit to see a totally different picture. That Miami is a boring place! 

The people there are either cheesy or tourists and the staple food is pizza. The guys are obnoxious as hell and the girls compete to see who wears the shortest dress or laugh the loudest. I had a couple funny experiences with guys there. Bella and I were walking on the street when a man wheeling a baby stroller with his wife standing next to him dropped his jaw just like in the movies when he saw us. A classic. I had guys come up to me when I'm surrounded by my guy friends and bluntly ask me in front of them if anyone of them were my boyfriends. Err...Wtf?? What happen to days when all you tried to do was catch the girls eye from 10 feet away and hoping she will give you a sign if she is into you? And these are strangers on the street too! I didn't know to be insulted or laugh in their faces. I can imagine what kind of trouble that smart ass will get into if he was in KL. As for the girls, a friend told me that if you talk to a hot girl and she actually has some substance, she must be new to Miami because all the hot girls are corrupted to fit into the same social clique. Glad I didn't move...I'm already bimbo as it is, can't imagine what Miami would do to me =P (opps...did I just pay myself a compliment unconsciously?) 

Negative things aside, I did manage to meet some funny people and hung out with good friends.Staying up till 8am to watch the sunrise and get into trouble with a couple French kids never fails to make my day. At least I will have a place to stay when I visit Paris! Bonjour people! Look out! Lets make the boys cry and the girls puke! And now...some pictures from the trip...

Always up to no good

By the end of the trip which lasted 10 days and in my opinion a little too much for me, I was more than happy to pack my bags and head back to continue my vacation in New York =)

Reload...and shoot

I wish I could decipher these thoughts in my head. 
Maybe I'm disappearing....
Is it time to say goodbye?

Reborn?

Looking at my last post I see that I haven't blogged in a while....I doubt anyone even reads this blog anymore.

So much has changed since the last time I blogged...it's only been like 4 months but its feels much much longer. Moving to New York and leaving my friends and family behind in Maryland was a huge step for me. New York is fun no doubt...hanging out with good friends and meeting people all around. The glitz, the glamour is all around New York City baby!


Good friends Bella and Steve from The Fire and Reason

Pras from the Fugees. Hung out with him at the studio with The Fire and Reason

Shia. Met him outside the Soho Grand Hotel where he was staying. Should have talked to him!
Golf champion Christy O' Connor. Met him at the Fitzpatrick Golf Tournament. Such a sweetheart!

New York is full of life, money and hot people. Working at a PR firm, I manage to meet many nice people while socializing. Being at IT Management Global, we would constantly be nicknamed the it girls. Well so much for that. I've recently quit my job in search of something better. I believe dreams are built!

I think this would come to many as a surprise but I'm in a relationship. Very few people know because I've been hiding it for a long time, even from close friends. Which hot chick? Nah. HE is a supportive, sweet and kind guy living in Texas. Haha land of George Bush! Met him when he was staying in Maryland and we've been together for almost 3 months now. Another long distance relationship is definitely a recipe for disaster. I question myself everyday what I'm trying to accomplish...is it love?

So what is he doing in Texas? Good question....serving his country! Opps I did it again. This time I've gotten together with someone from the army. Great future huh. Hah! Everyone here tells me it's a waste of time but I'm putting my heart at risk again. Just for you Ryan. Must be the country accent. Can you envision me riding horses and milking cows? Although I would look so hot in a cowboy hat and tall boots. Food for thought there. Can't wait to see him in a couple weeks. It's time for a long vacation!

You must be thinking why I'm not mooning about a rich, handsome New Yorker instead of a "country boy". Don't get me wrong...there are wonderful guys in New York and I've been treated like a princess from many that I've met. Dining at fine restaurants all over the city, champagne and cocktails for the lady, me shopping for nice clothes and shoes (with daddy's money of course) and compliments that can set anyone's heart on fire makes everyone feel like a million bucks.

I go from feeling like Carrie from Sex and the City to Samantha Jones PR. Except when you combine it, I'm called Cindy PR thanks to Bella whom I'm doing PR for. We will be touring Europe in August. Maybe we might even get a yatch to film their new video with Pras from The Fugees. I'm counting on you Jason! Jason is the cute producer for Pras's album (Sorry Ryan!). We were in the studio to make a deal with Pras for his new album coming out in summer. Hot tracks so don't forget to check it out.

To many people, this posting makes no sense. I don't expect it to. I love my life, hate my job (I strongly believe I was not put on this earth to work) and I love the energy of people around me. Just like the corny T-shirt says...I LOVE NEW YORK.

Yet why do I still feel so alone? Doesn't help that I've moved like 4 times in the past couple months and I'm packing again. I've become a pro at moving that it took me 2 hours to pack all my stuff. I don't even take stuff out from the box because I know I will be gone within weeks or months. Its so funny when I see that my whole life in the US consists of 2 suitcases, 1 backpack, a 3 drawer clothes box and 3 medium sized boxes.

Why do I keep chasing for something that I can't see. Why not settle down where it's comfortable? Why not accept promises that you make? I wish my heart was connected to my head...


How many times do I have to scream?
How many times would it ever seem
That you're the person for me....
Why we living for today
How many tears makes us go away
My heart can't fake this anymore.....
I've done everything that I can do
I still can't believe what we've been through
My heart can take this anymore.....

My heart from The Fire and Reason

You think that I'm living the wild life here....well you're are wrong.

I miss a place to call home. I miss you. I just don't know how to say it...maybe you can tell me?

Long awaited post

Gosh so much has been happening(or not happening) nowadays.I'm still in a daze after graduation which I didn't even blog about.It's been a wild fun ride so far with trying to get jobs and dealing with the disappointment while working for a wonderful friend and mentor on things that I have never done before which are so pretty and uplifting to me.Its been a wonderful journey so far and I'm looking forward to what the future can and will bring to me.I hope the USA will continue to bring me wonderful memories and amazing friends.

On the other hand,I miss my family.Spending time with them while they were here visiting has made me so homesick for the comfort and love of my family.I miss the people who understands me most and who love me just the same even when I lose my temper or get into some crazy ideas.I've been talking to my mum very often nowadays and I really hope I can fly her here soon or go home to visit.Missing Chinese New Year again this year has been really hard for me.The comfort of family that people take for granted makes me feel even closer to home and wanting to return to that safety comfort zone.At the same time,I'm chasing my dream of becoming a successful PR person and building my career.I want something out of nothing and I want to make it happen.Wish me luck on that.

The lazy part of me just wants to go on doing what I'm doing....having fun and working when I need to.The bimbo princess wants to not only be an alter ego but reality.At the same time,the crazy perfectionist part of me just wants to get a head start working and leading a normal adult life.What do I do?Will a change of environment help?

Pre-graduation trips: Part 2- DC,NY,LA,LV

Whew.....it's been awhile since I've had the time to sit and blog.Been so busy traveling across America while entertaining those visiting and at the same time preparing to graduate.It's been fun but tiring waking up in different cities every week with friends and family.It will take a couple posts to be able to recall each travel log of mine but let me try.After Miami,my second trip was to DC and New York.We felt like the cast of Sex and the City except no sex and too much city.Shopping started at 7.45am and lasted till 6pm and that was because everywhere was closing for Christmas Eve.We met up with Jas's cousin and his gf and they took us to this Japanese buffet for Christmas Eve dinner.Ate like a pig and it was also my first time seeing Jas eat so much.360 degrees change from the amount of food we had at Miami.We went back to the hotel to drink and chill out.In conclusion,our chi mui reunion at New York was just fabulous.

Coming back to Towson,we didn't have much time to pack, relax and celebrate my birthday eve before flying off to Los Angeles.This trip was in a glamorous setting with all the blings blings but it lacked the intimacy and fun that I was looking for.It wasn't a very pleasant trip for me as much problems happened since I touch foot in LA airport.I lost my phone,compounded my stress levels and even
(gasp!) lost my temper!On the other hand,I have my best friends Jas and Ling to thank for the beautiful Juicy Couture necklace ever after I insisted on not wanting it.Their company made the trip and my birthday beautiful and fun for me even between coughs,loss of social life and other shit we went through.I didn't get drunk on my 22nd birthday as well.Haha.Alright photos from the fabulous LA.

XOXO

We continued our journey to Sin City (oOo it has my name written all over it) Las Vegas.I had fun watching Cirque De Soleil, camwhoring,clubbing at Body English (Hard Rock Hotel) and Revolution (Mirage Hotel) and of course gambling (everywhere!).We watched Zumanity at New York-New York Hotel and it was soooooo orgasmic!Too bad we couldn't take any pictures=(.On a good note,we took a bunch of fantastic photos.I'm just gonna put down a few but you can check the rest of them on Facebook.Thank you Jas,Ling,Pam and the others for all the pretty pictures!

The trip back to Bmore was not so fun and easy.At the airport,our flight was delayed and we ended up missing our connecting flight which complicated things even more as my parents were arriving to Bmore that day waiting for me to pick them up.We manage to catch another flight thinking we were lucky,only to wait for another 3 hours as our plane ended up having malfunctions and arriving at a different airport in DC.My luggage did not arrive when we arrived at the DC airport and told me that it will arrive at BWI and they told me they would not send it to my house but I had to pick it up.WTF.That pissed me off so much.Fortunately,I arrived at BWI and the people there were more helpful.They said that the plane which had my luggage was delayed and they would send my luggage to my house.After so much drama at the airports,I didn't think I could handle anymore waiting.
I manage to see my parents after Chris picked them up from the bus station and then picked me up at the airport.

So many unfortunate things happened to me on this trip.I still don't have a phone and my already nonexistent social life is worse because no one can call me and vice versa.According to Ling,the travelers were not compatible when it came to our date and time of birth.Jas says that after a few bad things to start the New Year,the rest of the year will be smooth and easy.Yeah right. Haha I think our auspicious superstition was just an excuse to bitch and look for some people to blame.

Coming up next....family time!
