Plus two other halves. We ... http://valerietan.com/2010/03/07/river-hong-bao/ Hello everyone!  I've been busy making myself comfortable at work I have hardly enough time to surf the internet and blog. It's so amazing to be back at work and having a blast interacting with my colleagues - minus the workload. I'm also loving the fact that I get to decorate ... http://valerietan.com/2010/02/28/iskandar-houses/ Eight years ago, I was here. Its beauty was captured on film. Eight years on.

I would love to buy the ... http://valerietan.com/2010/02/13/a-love-affair-with-the-domesticated/ The #1000090 reason why I'm still in adoration of my niece even if she tears my room down every day. 1 more day to Chinese New Year's Eve! Happy Chinese New Year everyone. =) http://valerietan.com/2010/02/11/im-way-too-cool/ Hate it or love it. When I saw the trailer for this show, I wasn't sold. I mean, after watching countless of chick romance flicks... why will I want to spend money watching this movie? There ain't any mega big stars or a blockbuster plot.
