I was considerably nervous about attending Piers’ company annual dinner until I saw photos from last year’s dinner. Although declared black tie, an atmosphere of fun can be detected from the photos. There’s a Laurel and Hardy impersonating duo mingling with guests, a Michael Jackson impersonator as the night’s entertainment, and there’s disco …
7:30 am We are on the way to Leeds for Piers’ annual company dinner. It’s a 4.5-hour drive. So early, we were bound to forget things. I forgot to bring Tofu, my pink mini bolster (who looks like a pink tofu). I totally forgot my dress and Piers almost forgot his suit. We’d had them ...
We’re going to Oxford this weekend. I’ve wanted to go for months but, to be honest, I’m always a bit lazy about going sightseeing. I enjoy the sights and the experiences, but I so hate the travelling. Getting ready, getting packed (if necessary) and then braving the hours stuck in a car or train or ...
Now that I have lulled you into a (false) sense of security with my short break from blogging, it’s time to unleash upon you more scary bikini photos. Yep. Just when you thought you were safe. I present to you… a diseased-looking Sheylara in bikini. Okay, I’m not actually diseased, but merely covered ...
I’m taking a short break from Mallorca posts because I’ve been kinda busy shopping for my outfit for Piers’ annual company dinner. It’s a black-tie event and I haven’t got anything with me in England, so I have to buy everything: Dress, shoes, bag, shawl, jewellery, maybe gloves. I kind of left it too late. ...
One of the things that surprises me about Piers is that he doesn’t kill pests. (I think it runs in his family.) Everyone else I know would kill ants, cockroaches, flies or any unidentified creepy crawlies without a thought, by any means available (swatting, squishing, flushing down toilet, insecticide spraying, poisoning, burning). Piers would rescue ...
We had seen photos of the villa before going to Mallorca for our holiday. But photos could not prepare us for the astounding sights that greeted us when we arrived. A good photographer with proper camera equipment might be able capture scenes of nature that bring tears to your eyes, but there is nothing like ...
Following our tradition of impromptu vacationing, Piers only started Google searching for our next location a day before we had to leave our current location. We were in Palma, the main city in Mallorca. We decided we wanted to stay at a beach, next, so Piers started going through lists on the Internet. First hotel ...
Mallorca has about 80 beaches surrounding the small island which measures 3,640.11 km2 (but not as small as Singapore at 694km2). That is basically the reason tourists flock to this Mediterranean island by the million (6 million in 2010). S’Amarador, voted Best Beach in Europe since 2008. There are many other attractions in ...
In a way, it’s good not having wifi. I’m now at a huge villa in Mallorca with Piers and his family, and we’re here till Saturday or Sunday, I’m not too sure. I would be completely disconnected for a week except, somehow, my unlimited Internet on my prepaid UK Blackberry SIM card seems to extend ...
Piers and I must be the only two people in the world who go on holidays without a clue as to our itinerary. We do have a sketchy idea: Palma – 3 days Drive to another part of Mallorca – 3 days Join his family at holiday villa – 7 days Drive to yet another ...
So, I did the stupidest thing you could imagine. More accurately, I didn’t bring my swimsuits with me to Mallorca, after all that fuss shopping for a bikini, leading to the craziest purchase of my life — FOUR pairs of bikinis. It’s crazy because I don’t even like wearing swimsuits to begin with, never mind ...
I feel sorry for the thousands of people who have travelled to Bournemouth to witness the four-day Bournemouth Air Festival, which started today. I also feel sorry for the organisers. Because, this morning, we all woke up to gloomy skies and intermittent heavy rain that had gone on through the night, giving way to thunderous ...
Since I’m going to be a student soon, I have an excuse to change my wardrobe again! :D Okay, not really. This probably won’t be the most appropriate outfit to attend the course I’m doing (Montessori education). In any case, I already had the outfit way before I decided to go for the ...
I wonder how many bedsheets were sacrificed in the making of this party. But part of the fun of a costume party is preparing the costume. While Piers was reluctant to prepare any costume at all, stating his preference to turn up in jeans and tee to his parents’ annual themed garden party, he kindly ...
Why can I never get a straight answer from a man? We’re planning a trip to Guernsey (an island) dead early tomorrow morning, so I need to know what time we have to leave so I can set my alarm. Me: What time do we have to leave home? Piers: No earlier than an hour ...
Here’s a sneak photo of my next post, which I am not posting yet because I haven’t written it. It’s me dressed in my Roman costume for a themed garden party. The party was last Saturday. The reason I haven’t yet written about it is because I have been busy doing Very Important ...
Tomorrow is Singapore’s National Day but I’m not in Singapore. So, I will have to commemorate by looking at the photos I took during a National Day Parade rehearsal. It was such a great experience it made me wish I could attend the actual parade (happening tomorrow) but, of course, I can’t because I’m not ...
I’ve been really busy lately (which explains why my blogs have been coming a bit slow). More specifically, I’ve been really busy shopping. Even more specifically, I’ve been really busy shopping for bikinis. Bikini from Simply Beach. Shopping for bikinis is a colossal task of epic proportions, inversely proportionate to the ...
Alright, now, nobody needs to wish me a happy birthday anymore because my birthday has been over for more than a week. But thanks to everyone who did! My birthday this year started with a hearty egg. I mean an eggy heart. It came as a surprise despite the fact that: Piers makes ...
