For those of you who have been reading my blog, you would know by now that this November 11, I'll be taking part in the Oxfam Trailwalker in HK along with Danny, Artawat and Adam, and support team Kay, Wendy and Reina.

The Oxfam Trailwalker, a 100km endurance walk or run from Sai Kung to Tuen Mun, overnight, in teams of four, on more than 20 hills through the Hong Kong countryside. Our team's target time is 30hrs. That's 30hrs without sleep, just a couple of rest points every 20km or so.

We're doing all this as a personal challenge and more importantly to raise money for Oxfam Hong Kong, who work to fight poverty and injustice in more than 60 countries around the world. Take a look at http://www.oxfam.org.hk/public/ and check out the places and people that Oxfam Hong Kong helps.

We are aiming to raise a total of 58,000HKD (Approx S$11,000) and we would need all the support we can get.

Please check out our donations website at http://admin.oxfamtrailwalker.org.hk/en/registration/teamDetail.html?teamId=200701014. It's a pretty straight forward process and donations goes straight to Oxfam.

ANY AMOUNT COUNTS! You do the donation and we'll walk the extra mile for the poor and needy around the world (make that 100km).

xoxo,
Ee-Lyn

Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin
Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
A sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
A un jeu si amer je n’peux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans…

La vie… Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles; ça n’est pas pour moi
Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
Nous allons en fin nous régaler

La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
Je suis heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin


English lyrics:

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
But nothing worth eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly full, now I’ll probably drown
Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
For nothing worth stealing is…

Free at last; won’t be undersold
Surviving isn’t living; won’t eat what I’m told
Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning to fly
I won’t let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now underway, so…
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing this table, my new life’s begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

Just came back from dessert with Geri at a new cafe called Brew and Groove. Just round the corner from my house @ 71 Lucky heights, Lucky Court (opens 10am - 9pm).

Unpretentious, comfy place that serves gelato cakes and coffee. It's only a few weeks old, and I discovered it while running around my estate.

Geri had a huge bowl of lemon n lychee sorbet, me, I had a double choc brownie w vanilla ice cream. Cost us only $8.80, pretty good huh?

So for all you easties out there who want to chill out at a nice and quiet place, go check it out :)

So I've been calling property agents cuz my parents are thinking of moving. Called this asshole from my home number, which is private.

This guy finally picks up, and after I introduced myself, he goes 'if you want to call me call me from a phone with a number, otherwise I'll not talk to you' AND HE HANGS UP ON ME!

And then I call him again on my mobile and I'ms like 'DID YOU JUST HANG UP ON ME BECAUSE I CALLED FROM A PRIVATE LINE?'

AND HE HANGS UP ON ME AGAIIIINNN!!!!!!!!!!!

WTFFFFFFFFF??????????????????

So I couldn't tahan, I smsed him " you should brush up on your sales skills cuz you are very rude. They teach that in most elementary schools' He's not replied, although I hope he calls back because I want to give him a scolding. Maybe he's checking up on the word elementary before he replies.

F******.

I didn't get his name. But his number is 9129-0183. HOW DO I FIND OUT WHICH CO. HE WORKS FOR??????

Current Mood: pissed

Current Mood: accomplished

Wanted a simple not-in-your face pic of myself for my profile in weloveyu.com (should be up by Thanksgiving). And so I got eadwine to help take a few quick shots of me. I was kinda stiff (cuz I ain't no moDel), but I like what he came up with.

Thanks Ead! See lah, now I can't wait to take nice wedding pics :P





I look very zhong guo in the last one, huh?


In the meantime, I'm trying to think up of new designs. Hopefully I'll have some pieces out before Lunar New Year.

*Oink*. I mentioned in the previous blog that I spent the whole of yesterday with a hangover. Cure? Loads of fluid, food & sleep. Talk about being piggish. I'm so bloated from all the food I ate yesterday to cure my over acidic stomach.

After work I gave the MOS FHM GND party a miss. Came straight home, stuffed my face with leftover tanghoon salad (my dinner from the previous night which I failed to find when I came home trashed & starving) and hit my bed for a nap for 2 hrs.

Woke up at 10.30pm still dehydrated, so I headed to the kitchen, grabbed a slice of papaya, pineapple, chinese pear & a kiwi. Stuffed it down my face like a (repeat together w/me) PIG.

10.45pm - hit the sack again and K.Oed till this morning! 11 hours...not bad, huh?

I'm a little high from all that sleep and my Nescafe Gold right now, not to mention my eyes are puffy from over sleeping. Dad was like 'did u cry?'.

Off to work now. It's FRIDAY which always translates to GOOD DAY to me. My teammates are bringing me to Akashi for a farewell lunch, and tonite I'll be having dinner @ Valentino w/my sweet cousin Rachel. And then to One Rochester for (light) drinks.

Hmm...I think I'm gonna test my leg tommorrow. Gonna go for a run. I have to. Too much food & alcohol these few days.

You are a Dynamic Creator.
About You
You are a Creator

Your imagination, confidence, willingness to explore, and appreciation of beauty make you a CREATOR.

You are independent, and you enjoy your self-sufficiency.

Defying convention, you are very innovative, and you have a vivid imagination.

The look of things is important to you, and you have a keen eye for aesthetic beauty in multiple arenas.

You have a strong interest in what is new and exciting—and that includes forging ahead with new ideas, not simply discovering what is already out there.

Your eagerness to seek new and varied experiences leads you into many different situations.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you are creative when it comes to finding novel solutions to complex problems.

You trust yourself to be innovative and resourceful.

Your confidence allows you to take your general awareness and channel it into creativity.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.


If you want to be different:

Appreciate the earthly, practical elements of things—there is beauty in form as well.

While you are good at thinking abstractly, focusing on details a bit more may help you discover things about the world.


How You Relate to Others
You are Dynamic

As someone who is DYNAMIC, you do not have a hard time meeting new people, and you have a bunch of close friends.

You are not overly concerned with what others may think about you, which leaves you free to be thoroughly involved in the world around you.

There are those who find being around people exhausting—but not you! Interacting with others, whether at a party or in conversation, gives you energy.

You have a strong sense of what the world is like and how it should be.

You have enormous respect for those who have earned their success, and have little patience for those who try to bend the rules or ride on the coattails of others' hard work.

Believing in the importance of integrity and hard work doesn't stop you from believing that people will do the right thing—you know that people are good at heart.

You sometimes have trouble understanding why others feel the way they do, but it doesn't stop you from having faith and trust in those around you.

Part of what makes engaging with people so interesting for you is that you occasionally learn something new about yourself or about a problem you're having when discussing things with others.

Your strong worldview leads you to believe that people shouldn't rely on their emotions so much when making decisions.


If you want to be different:

Taking some time to explore others' perspectives could make spending time with people even more compelling than it already is.

Making an effort to see the complexities of situations might open your eyes to alternative perspectives of how the world works.

Those who are as outgoing as you are often need to remind themselves that time alone can be just as fulfilling—take some time for yourself and you might find that there are many things in your inner world that are just as compelling as the world outside your window.
