Heck, it should be on everyone's itinerary! I've been to San Francisco only twice, but I have fond memories of that place. The first time was on a school trip. I roomed with my best friends and we formed ... http://valerietan.com/2012/05/01/san-francisco-day-1/ In between napping and staring outside, this peculiar looking house caught my attention on day 1. I was so keen on capturing it on my camera that I stayed awake for 30 minutes staring out at the window on day 2. Turns out that, hey this has become a tourist destination ... http://valerietan.com/2012/04/24/kota-kinabalu-part-3/ Hello everyone, so sorry about the month-long wait. I've fallen ill so many times in the past month, I'm left jaded... again! And not to mention, I'm now a little tired of visiting the doctors entirely. Anyway, back on my adventure in Kota Kinabalu. Malaysia really has a lot to offer. Up ... http://valerietan.com/2012/04/22/kota-kinabalu-part-ii/ I took some time off and headed to Kota Kinabalu. If retail therapy doesn't kick in some excitement, perhaps being in a different place would help. The ride to Sabah was rocky. Lightning flickered through the overcast sky, the rain poured angrily over the tiny plane. I was pretty glad to ... http://valerietan.com/2012/03/16/kota-kinabalu-part-1/ There are days when I wake up and I feel that I can conquer the world. There are days when I wake up and I feel like a truck just came and ran over me. It's terrible to think that I've hit a dry spell for such a prolong period ... http://valerietan.com/2012/02/21/life-is-a-whirl/ So it's Valentine's day. And one can only wish for all the goodies in the world... Oh the glitter. The glam. And the rock. http://valerietan.com/2012/02/14/its-valentines-day-wishing-up-a-storm/ Hiding in the shell of the long-gone hermit crab, 2012 came along and I was still snuggling sweetly. Heck I even missed my usual birthday post. It suddenly dawn on me that Spring is almost gone and of course I had to muster the strength to take a peek. 2012 brings in ... http://valerietan.com/2012/02/10/of-petals-dreams-and-loubs/ Remember my confession on trying to read more in March 2011? My fairy God mother must have been listening to all my confessions or she has been reading my blog. Two days ago, I waltzed into Kinokuniya to get the book One Day and found myself spending more time at ... http://valerietan.com/2011/12/29/the-elves-and-the-shoemaker/ November came and went... silently... December has arrived. As I score zero on the shopping chart - after all, did you hear that Chanel has increased prices once more? And my 2.55 has doubled its value (and slightly more) in just merely two years? - I did set my eyes on ... http://valerietan.com/2011/12/09/of-coffee-good-friends-and-autumn-leaves/ I'm so deeply embarrassed by my lack of post - October came and went just like that! How do those bloggers keep up to date with their blog despite their hectic schedule? I wonder. Finally decide to archive some of my photos... and these made me smile. There is just something so ... http://valerietan.com/2011/11/07/dreaming-of-loubs/
