October Issue







Pargolf and Me

My very first time with Pargolf, one of the local leading golf magazines. It was a pretty fun experience to me. All thanks to Mr.Doyle-my collegemate that i used to threaten him by wanting to cook him in a pot anytime when he provokes me( i call him HObbit and he calls me Giant) for having my face in the magazine. I love all the golf apparels i wear for the shoot though some of the trousers look big on me, haha...but Gayanye! Check me out in the October issue.





The happily reunited Giant and Hobbit...its good to see you again!
ehh..You've grown up so much...how come we look almost the same height err? You are not so hobbit afterall...! Lol









My Safari adventure with Cocorich

Just attended the KLPF (KL photography festival) for Cocorich event with Amber, Jojo, Shirley and June. The number of photographers and the amount of lights can simply make me blind, can die. No joke, that's just unimaginably packed!if you missed the event, you can visit the website to read the blog or check out the collection!



Just a little update on my appearance in October, phew* time flies like a rocket :'O two more days to say goodbye to October!

Reminisce of Paris




A walk on the street


Strolling along the streets in Paris is simply a big enjoyment, especially for those who loves to sightsee the very ordinary and typical scenes in the city. The streets in Paris is never quiet but not too busy. The convenience of the underground transportation makes the walking even easier by having each stations every 5 minutes distance. If you are feeling tired of walking, pick any of the cafes, bars, or any restaurants you may find anywhere and have a latte or hot chocolate for a short break. You may find it suprise, most of the tables in the cafe are rather small and only comes in two seats. Often if you pick the seat outside the cafe,the armchairs are placed on the left and right of the table,so the patrons are facing out the streets. E'nuf said, the purposely is clearly illustrated. Sipping your coffee and have some cookies to bite, relax and watch the Parisians walk-by scene.
Ah...i miss the Coco..






Have a French Onion Soup

Besides Coffee and bread, French Onion Soup is a popular French puree. French onion soup is cooked with onion
and beef, and cheese as toppings. It is served as a starter in a pot while it is hot with some bread on the plate. A very tantalizing dish that one should not miss,especially in the winter. The onion tastes soft like mash, and the meat is brewed with the aroma of the onion. The French has their eating habits and culture, i think i have made several mistakes by having a simple meal like this.

While eating the bread, you should tear your bread into a bite-sized piece before eating it.
True.
It is very impolite to take a bite from the whole piece of bread.

Guess what? I was too hungry that i stuffed the whole bread in the soup and opened my big-wide mouth...and swallowed it....and licking my finger..:) Yummy.

Learn more about
French table manner and eating habit to avoid the embarrass stares from the waitors like me:P






Sitting in the garden can be calming.

A jog in the Luxembourg Garden (
Jardin du Luxembourg)

The garden is a common leisure spot for the French. It is a public park where the local young children and parents to spend the beautiful evening together. The place is popular for its tranquilizing atmosphere. It is a perfect place to read on the bench, or to do picnic under the trees.
Despite having a big beautiful pond in the center of garden, many statues and sculptures are found in the garden.





Experience the Eiffel Tower

Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris. Needless to elaborate on this, this is the soul building in the city. I think many will find it as cliche as it sounds, the tower makes people fall in love or at least make them feel they are in love. Well, i am not being stereotype saying that romance shall only happen or be discovered here. But it is a very true feeling that i once felt that way by watching at this beautiful tower. *winks





Overlooking the Seine River

Seine River is just right next to the Eiffel tower, yes, that's the one you often see as the backdrop in the postcard. Tourists can never miss the river when they tour around Paris but they often neglect it as one beautiful attraction. Walking by the river is refreshing and the air is cooling thus far in winter. The cruise and dinner tour is offered to those who love to sightsee from the riverboats. It is a little pricey for a student like me during my trip, so ms Butterfly and i walked almost the whole city until our feets cried themselves to stop.

Now i miss the walking part..




Taking picture on the road which leads to the Arc de Triomphe

It may sound crazy and odd by standing in the middle of road, making a pose, and smile for a picture;whilst the Parisian drivers throw you a queer smile. You will never be alone by doing that. It is a very common scene where tourists take turn to capture the shot at the same spot, and from the very same angle. Crossing the road and walk on the Champs-Elysees street, you get to indulge in the most enjoyable shopping sphere!From LV, to Lancel or even LongChamp will help to cheer up your sore feets.



It was three years back since i travelled to Europe. I wonder when i get to revisit the beautiful city again. Well, more to write if i can think of anything else. Ciaoz!

飞同凡想

曾经向往拥有自由飞翔职业的我,始终都只是抱憾感叹。


J说羡慕我说有着一份安稳的工作,稳定的感情,及疼爱我的家人朋友。
而我·,每天上网看她到处飞的照片,总让我心痒痒的。
我告诉她,其实她现在的工作,是我一直向往的。
很好笑,人就是这样,往往隔壁桌盘上的鸡腿特别好吃。
还好,还不算太过感叹。
至少从别人身上体会职业的经验,总算让我感到安慰。


看了这本由之前为新潮旅游专栏摘稿的才女Shann,对空服行业有了另一种想法。书中提到很多不为人知的工作性质,让我觉得当空服员,比任何一个行业来的更为独立,不管是在思想上还是行为上。就打个比喻,当班时,他们要独立的履行服务;若飞长途,他们要体力很好;被客人欺负,要学习自己处理;到国外时,要自己照顾自己。和家人及爱人分隔两地,要能承担相思之苦。生病时,要让自己好起来。


话说回来,其实,做什么行业,我们还不是独立个体;只是,穿梭在这本书中的文字里不仅让我思考,若在身为空服员的我碰见那样的情形,我该怎样处理?虽然我一直都很向往一个人的旅行,刚好若飞长途就会有机会逗留国外的机会,虽然仅仅两三天,一个人的酒店房间我能战胜一个人的空间恐惧吗?享受一个人独处的是我,害怕一个人的孤寂也是我。


书中也有描写说,机场就像是人生的缩影,分分合合的场面每天都上映;观外者虽然只是路过人,却偶尔也被其感染情绪,深感其受。虽然在很多人眼中,当空服员只是一份低微的工作,其实不然。不谈工作性质,它确实是一份让人体会很深的工作。就像Shann今天在新书分享会中提到“为什么医生医治病人被称伟大,那服务员为顾客服务就被称为低微?” 其实,两者还不是为社会服务,分别就在于被服务的是两种有着不同需要的人群。说穿了,这是现代人的弱点吧,说什么职业不分贵贱,其实阶层观念的思想还是存在的。但我始终相信,每天不管在机场或舱库里发生的情景,看见的人,到过的地方,都能让人有多一份体会。只要你放下身段想想,职业只是人生中扮演的一个角色而已。难道在你公司楼下的清洁工人就被称低俗吗?还是照顾你家一家大小的外籍女工就是卑微?


若你对空服行业有着大大的热忱,不妨阅读这本书。
它,很写实的告诉你职业的趣味性及挑战性,它能成为你的工作方针,你的分享。
当然,它也让我体会许多。


我总算放下心中结,原来从别人身上分享的,有时更为有意思。





很高兴认识你,彩萍姐。
期待你下一本作品。

The impressive fashion piece of New York Skyline created by Zang Toi (Source from The Star)


Btw, just came by to read the article titled 'I Love New York' on the star online yesterday. What a piece of fashion! How will it look if they use the Paris skyline and has Eiffel Tower in it!Too bad Zang Toi is a NYorker rather than the Parisian, but his inspiration is greatly a world recognition. So we should look up to the local designs;and hopefully one day we will have our very own art piece titled 'I Love K L'.


See you tomorrow:)

Pick A Dress

Coming friday, i will be attending as a model for the hair show organised by Chezz Technique Saloon. The hairshow will be held at the orange club.

Just tried on the hairstyle of my theme weeks before, BOMB--astic! Not telling you how i look, but its gonna be a very wild wild wild WOW look! Mmmm how excited! The best part is we get to select the dress provided by TANGOO for the show, of course one goes well with the theme.

Let's have a look on the dresses,
Well, 3 main point to determine the selection:
(a) It has to be long, (the organiser's requirement)
(b) My theme is more like an African Maasai style
(c) It has to be sleek, stylish, and of course WOO-HOO...

Okay people, make a choice!





The flower printed kimono-like long dresses

Mmm Ms Moy said i don't look good at all in dresses like this. She said i look like one pale floating skeleton:(
But... I personally love the purple in the middle, it makes me feel so BOhemian!




Sexy and elegant gowns in various colors

They all looking pretty for dinner and functions, but they want something more than it for the show. *Scratch head





The Hawaiian Peacocks

Ooppssss I love them all, especially the one in orange! But they said they were too soft for my theme..*Sweats


So tell me, what's your pick?
