I spent 87K on souvenirs

Highlight this past weekend: Bali Indonesia

Highly disappointed, Justin Timberlake didn't show and I could only buy so many bracelets from 4 year olds (which was zero).

We stayed in the heart of Bali tourism, Kuta. Very busy and chaotic, which is, as you know, the exact opposite of me.
I imagined the whole place to be a tropical oasis, however I got the REAL Bali which is still neat.

The hotel was nice but we couldn't stay there since we only had a day and half to explore the island. 

It was nice to bargain with the locals and get deals on already cheap stuff.

Saturday was spa day it lasted 4 hours and cost 450,000 Rupiah :)

which is only $64 USD!!!

Hotel

such a relaxing experience

ta tas

Hardcore

New friends!

After the spa we rented motorbikes because that is the thing to do in Bali.

The guy who was renting to us more concerned about mom knowing how to drive than me, and truthfully I've never driven a moped, I had a dream once, but that doesn't give you the skill set to drive. 

I strap on my helmet and was OFF, 2 minutes into the ride I was turning a corner into traffic and got a little excited-over accelerated- and crashed into about 6 parked motorbikes. 

Within 3 seconds about 50 locals were over the walls hollering like 7th graders. We picked up the fallen bikes and I was about to dine and dash when I realized some guard took my key and wouldn't give it back.

pictures don't show all the bruising, I either look hardcore or like i'm in an abusive relationship with a small person with long nails.

We sat there and bitched about a tiny scratched on a STICKER and the kid told me I owed him 100,000 Rupiah, I refused to pay that much and got away with only 50K ($10).

With dirty cuts and I'm sure HIV all over my legs, we headed to Seminyak Beach. Set up shop at Ku De Ta lounge and got our tan on. 

On the way back home, some jerk off side swiped me and once again i dropped my bike in the middle of an intersection and the mirror broke off. COOL

-the insurance is $200 USD but the guy let me off with only $60 because I'm adorable :)

Went back to Seminyak to drink away the anxiety, then hopped on the plane at 6AM on Easter Sunday. Learned a lot about Bali, will probably only go back if a travel agent plans my whole stay in a secluded area. All in all, a good first experience.

Once we got back and rested for a bit, my Chairman picked up me and my mom in his Bentley and checked us in to the Marina Bay Sands.
-which seemed like a first for him since he never drives himself, I felt VERY honored
This room is way nicer than the last one and we have a city view

best tub ever

i think this is the size of my apt...

I'm in the middle tower

Light show comes on every night!

Last Week of Work:

Being at MBS hotel makes me feel like a high roller, things are starting to get easier at work and things at home are working out in my favor (so grateful for my friends and their flexible schedules)

I'm so ready to be home, moving from hotel to hotel sounds cool for a rock star, but I miss my apt. 

I think I'll buy a new couch tomorrow...

My boss treated my mom and I to dinner at his restaurant Lucas.

The food was delicious!!!

Best thing i've every put in my mouth (bring on the jokes)

Klapson's Hotel

*Tootles Loves*

see you in 6 days!

I make adult braces look GOOD

so where did i last leave off?
I'm been incredibly busy learning the contracts for my position and I've been warned that if i don't learn them by this Friday that I can't come home.
-Don't worry i'll pay off the lady who is giving my evaluation to my boss.

Back track a bit:
2 weekends ago Mom and I went to the Jurong Bird Park and the Night Safari.

The bird park made me happy because of the sweet ass birds, they sang, stole money, gave back the money, and ruffled their cute little feathers.
Note: Watching the movie RIO will make you want a bird and then it will make you want to travel with that bird to Brazil. 

Natalie Portman, I LOVE YOUR WORK!

Discretely opening my bag to steal this bird.

He was mackin on a lady peacock, too bad he's a hot mess.

Sharing some lunch with the Pelis

Could have stolen this one too...but it probably would have cussed me out

After the bird park we took a bus to the world's only Night Safari
-It was everything a tourist could only half-care to see. But we did it anyway...
The animals were asleep and you could shine a flashlight in there direction to find them.
The 2 best parts where:
1) The crazy fire breathing dudes that almost shot us with several arrow things, God Bless their impeccable aim.
2) a bat pooped on mom's head and another attempted to pee on us. *sarcastic excitement*

Tram ride

HEY, someone's in here!

Clearly on safari with my Z

sweet smell of kerosene

It still was a great day though.

MYTH: Peeing on a Jelly Fish burn helps with the pain

can finally take some time to update on my travels.

As you all know I came to Singapore to train in Marketing as well as help with the huge-o party celebrating the completion of the FPSO LEWEK EMAS.

I've been working long hours to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

The day event was HOT but everything still went great. We had about 400 turn out.

When i got back to the office I had nothing else to take care of, so I checked into the "changing room" at MBS to start getting ready. Since I needed a nap and had time to kill i decided to make my way up to the sky pool. 

Level 57 has a bar and, pools, and hot tubs over looking the entire city. It was absolutely stunning!

The dinner was held at the hotel's convention center across the street.

Thank God i found a dress to wear the night before at 9:30PM or else id be wearing my Sperry's and some boy shorts...

I was glad to get dressed up and have my make up stay on and not melt off within 5 mins of being outside.

Great dinner, lots of alky, oh and my team (Dom, Wayne, Guy's name i keep forgetting, and myself) won a beer drinking contest. NBD, i made my company proud, thank you TX State for the skill set.

Lionel and his Secretaries then Dom

These girls are AWESOME!
Sarah, Jasmine, Barbara, and Cheryl

During registration i made eye contact with this cutie heading to a black tie event and made it my goal to see him again. Toward the end the party was leaving and as soon as i stepped out of our ballroom i saw him! I tried to catch up to chat but they were moving too fast. I did, however, acquire a balloon from some Canadians in Dream Boys group. 

Later on, i went down stairs to take a friend to her ride and saw a GLORIOUS giant balloon. 

I acquired that one as well :)

After there was puke on the floor, we knew it was time to leave the ballroom. Some colleagues and I went back to my room and I journey by myself to the Sky bar on the 57th floor. As soon as I got off the elevator a drunk lady thrust a balloon in my face and said "here you need this." As I approached the door to the bar they told me there was a cover charge, but I held up my balloon and said I was with that party and followed my drunk lady friend into the bar :)

Made some friends at the bar, then realized it was already 3 and I needed to get some rest before my mom came knocking on the door at 7AM.

Mom came in, I was still a little tipsy so I went straight back to sleep while she went and explored the hotel. 

We checked out, grabbed some lunch in China Town, then headed to the Klapsons to meet Lionel so he could show mom some of their AMAZING rooms!

(I'll try to get pictures)

we were both lagging a bit, for different reasons of course, and headed back to my regular hotel to rest. I went ahead with Adrian (my bosses younger brother) to wakeboard in Ponggol.

Everyone got about 3-5 sets in and it was my turn. I suck at wake boarding and will never claim to be good, but as I was going up for my 3rd set i hit a jelly fish with my hand. 

It only stung my pointer finger (actually the same one Dani's snake bit) but i started freaking out. Everyone in the boat was yelling DON'T MOVE! I was SOO scared. but they pulled me up and iced my finger. 

What are the odds, seriously?! That sh*t hurts!

I'm lucky that it only got my finger, because when you move the current pulls it closer in and this sucker was LONG!

I can't image this pain all over my body.

OUCH!

Tootles Loves!

The Countdown BEGINS!

I've enjoyed my time in Singapore so far and I still have SO much more to see.

It's the final days before our big event, and when I say big I mean a $300K budget BIG.

We have about 500 coming to the Christening Ceremony and about 350 coming to the dinner.
I had the privilege of going to a food tasting last week and it was delish.

I'm determined to drink with our Vietnamese guest (our VVIPs who speak no English), I hear they go pretty hard.
I kid, I don't want to drink too much because my mom's flight will be in the following morning at a lovely 5:40am.
At least the company is paying for me to stay in the MBS Hotel, check it out, it's pretty amazing.
MBS Hotel and Casino

Once my mom gets here I can't let her sleep too much. Since were sharing a room I have to help her cope with the Jet Lag(meaning she won't wake me up) so staying up all day when she gets here is the trick!

I have her whole visit planned out.

On Friday April 22nd, we'll be flying out to BALI, INDONESIA!! I'm so pumped to relax by the beach, spend the whole day at the spa, run in to J.Timberlake like I planned...

I'm really starting to get homesick, 21 days is going to go by SO fast.

*Tootles Loves*

MAN, My Feet Hurt!

I spent half of my Sunday relaxing in bed then decided to venture out to the Botanic Gardens.

I don't think my little feet were prepared for that this place had to offer (like the miles of walking) but
it was absolutely splendid :)

I sweat my arse off, had lunch at a Halia Restaurant, went to the Orchid Gardens (did you know there is up to 30,000 species of Orchids?!) and then basically crawled back to the taxi stand.

I know this is busy, I'll have them posted on Facebook as well.

I'm not one to take pictures of my self because it makes me feel awkward, but you'll find a few of those in here. I started trading pics for pics with some other fellow flower lovers. I should have just had other people in my photos, I'm pretty much ruining the beauty of the flowers.

If you click on the collages you'll be able to zoom in to see them better!!

Since my nails looked jacked up I thought after my long walk around the B.G. I would get a mani/pedi. Turns out you have to specify you want to pay 100+ just to have then do it right, they sat me down and just painted my toes and fingers. Damn it, no massage chair, no foot scrub or rub.

and I messed up one of my nails a good 10 mins after I left, oh well it was only SGD$22 for everything.

One of the interesting things about Singapore, is you DON'T TIP. They include a service charge in everything you buy so when you're out to eat you just pay the bill and go.

Note to self: Don't eat/drink on the subway, old ladies will give you the stink eye and if you're caught you'll be fined. DUN DUN DUN!
Another Note to Self: Hooter's at Clarke Quay has fried pickles, go get some because fried pickles are the tits.

They play A LOT of old school J.Lo here

...and i like it!

Observations: about 93% of the population owns an iPhone 4 and i would like to see the hypothetical trash can that is holding all the 3Gs after the upgrade.

Fat Count: 17

Things I will do when I get home:

Eat Mexican Food (as unhealthy as it is my body can actually digest it)

Take a hot shower for more than 8.5 mins

Watch my shows the day they air so that Facebook can't ruin the endings for me.

Drink a Dr. Pepper

Eat Flaming Hot Cheetos (this is an option for now)

Use a real hair dryer (looks like a vacuum)

DO MY OWN LAUNDRY (of course I'm not OK with other people washing my unmentionables)

Sign up for hot yoga --->talk about a detox

Hug my nuggets Mila and Maddie!

Have a/24 Dos XX with LEMON with Ali

Snuggle With Kassie

more to come...

This sign says:

"No Smoking

No Eating & Drinking

No Cutting of Nails

No Digging of Nose"

This totally made me want to pick my nose, SO I DID. Take that cab driver.
