STAY HAPPY! BE THANKFUL ALWAYS~~
EXCUSE ME?! ARE YOU A GOLFER?
December 18, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged bedroom, clubs, Golf,
golfer, laguna, octville, palm springs, warren
An Apology Note to all the fans out there….
I know I oo-tang u guys Part 2 of Sri Lanka trip…. but i simply need to publish
this “already gone to heaven but revived” article… so just bear with me and read
this article first hor…..
Ms Huppy been very lazy about blogging lately…. she zong here zong there like a
headless chicken but each time she looked at her blog (imagine Ms Huppy blog
filled with cobwebs liao)…she got headache liao.
Why lei? cos each time Ms Huppy start blogging, it’s at least a good 3 hours.
And then when Ms Huppy remembers all the outstanding blog articles that she owed
her fans…like the Mauritius trip, the Hong Kong cum Macau trip, the muay thai
trip etc etc she freaked out .
(Imagine Ms Huppy hidding inside her blanket and act blur…)
But then, after stopping for 3 months, guess guilt simply crept in and she
decided that she needed to get at least an article out… get it over and done
with.
Today Ms Huppy shall talk about golfing. Actually Ms Huppy has taken like a
good decade to re-learn golf. Can you imagine, Ms Huppy met her hubby during a
church golf clinic. Ms Huppy was swept off her feet when she spotted this tall,
shy man in white at her very 1st golf lesson at Orchid Country Club, she knew
there and then that golf was indeed THE one and only activity she needed to
learn to master… But that was many moons ago la….
Guess Ms Huppy after hooking her man, stopped her lukewarm passion. Afterall,
the then single Ms Huppy objective was to go fish for a good godly MAN la…. Ms
Huppy believed that her strokes might well have impressed THE man else she wont
be attached after the 10 lessons. But Ms Huppy never make it to any golf course
then and least say even stepped onto the range after the lessons. Ms Huppy was
also better off caning a still cockroach then trying to strike the golf ball. So
much about her passion for golf then…
So what made Ms Huppy picked up golf again?!! trying to hook another man??
Hmmm…. this is really Food for thought….. (imagine a pondering Ms Huppy)
Ai ya! Ms Huppy wants to learn golf from end to end mah! keke
In a nutshell, Ms Huppy picked up golf last year Nov 07. She was very kia-su and
took 2 basic golf clinics by 2 different golf coaches. One coach is from Warren
golf and country club in Jurong, One coach is from Laguna Country Club in Simei.
Why 2 golf clinics, one is to entertain a good friend la and another to
entertain her hubby again. So much for having a good buddy and a dear one. Btw,
due to inflation, the cost of learning golf has since increased from $200 per
course to $250 (at Warren) and $300 (at Laguna). $#%@!
It’s been almost 2 years now. Ms Huppy graduated with a PC in Mar 08 this year
and she has visited several local golf courses in Singapore and Malaysia.
And to keep her passion going, Ms Huppy goes to either the Laguna or Marina Bay
driving range at least once a week.
Also, Ms Huppy first overseas golf trip at Palm Springs at Johor with her golf
gin-gang was memorable….
See many photos below….
From Palm Springs, Malaysia…
Ms Huppy trying her best to aim at the golf ball!
Nice golf course Ms Huppy loves the nature!!
Balls Balls where are u?
Long and narrow course!
Better stand far far away else he kuku hit us on the head!
Ah Sing and his concubine
Ms Huppy and Ah Sing Concubine
(better give the concubine a name else kena whack!)
Garnesh and Gee Kiat
The river….consumed many of our balls…but luckily not those inside the pants.
We even saw a monitor lizard….
Beautiful palm trees around the golf course
The power-ranger swing!
Now let me show you another golf course in Malaysia… Octville… also cheap and
good
welcome! Welcome!
The golf course…
Dun u think the golf course is just so magnificant?
The challenging hole! better take picture!
Let me go first!
I am next!
Very hard to hit? how to hit?
In case u wondering where is Ms Huppy… she’s here la… but the photo si-bei ugly
and sin-gey as the worker dun know how to use phone camera!
And then Ms Huppy and Kopi Sing went to a charity golf event in Sentosa and
sia-suay herself…
Here are the photos…
Sar sar register with people who has handicap…
The flight – endless, ms huppy, wendy and alvin..
Give it a good swing!
Go!! Go!! Go!!
Swooshhhh…
Aim into the hole plseeeee…
Ms Huppy thinks she is better
So… what do you fans think of playing golf? Ms Huppy discovered that once you
get pass the driving range, you definitely wont feel bored anymore…
That’s all for now. it’s 4a.m. in the morning and I m going to be a panda again!
Good night! I will pen off with a golf bedroom joke….
Rules of Bedroom Golf
1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and
two balls.
2. Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the
balls out.
4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners
are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to
the hole.
6. Object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the owner
is satisfied play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied
permission to play again.
7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
arrival. Experienced players will normally take time to admire the entire
course, paying special attention to well formed mounds and bunkers.
8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or are
currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset owners have
been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.
9. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear, just in case.
10. Players should not assume that the course is in shape to play at all
times. Players may be embarrassed if they find the course temporarily under
repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More
advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case.
11. Players should assume their match has been properly scheduled
particularly when playing a new course for the 1st time. Previous players have
been known to become irate if they discover someone else is playing what they
considered a private course.
12. The owner of the course is responsible for the pruning of any bushes,
which may reduce the visibility of the hole.
13. Players are strongly advised to get the owners permission before
attempting to play the backside.
14. Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to proceed
at a quicker pace at the owners request.
15. It is considered an outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the
same hole several times in one match.

TAMIL TIGER??!! :)….. DAY I

colombo, cotton, dambulla, herbal garden, Kandy, king walagambahu, museum,
Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, rock fortress, saris, Sigiriya, sri lanka, sri
lankan, tea, temple, tooth relic
Foreword
Ms Huppy supposed to upload a blog entitled “Excuse me, are you a golfer? 2
weeks ago but she wrote halfway and the 2 A4 page scripts somehow got bugs and
the entire article “su-sa” liao..!! Now she decided to blog about her recent
trip to Sri Lanka as it’s still fresh in her mind And to prevent similar mishap,
she decided to write and save on her word doc…..as well…
Background
For those who have read Ms Hubby’s blog, it definitely comes as no surprises to
know that Ms Huppy is a “happy leisure traveller”. In fact, for this year alone,
Ms Huppy has been to Hong Kong & Macau, Malaysia for Muay Thai, Mauritius for
the beaches and now, Sri Lanka
And why Sri Lanka of so many places? Simple … cos only available flight to & fro
Singapore as Ms Huppy booked only a week advance at Natas fair despite knowing
that its peak travel season due to the National Day long holidays… Her first
choice though was Philippines, Nepal, Middle East lei…..
But bo bian la! When Ms Huppy wants to travel, she wants it now and immediate
and she will go anywhere and everywhere, even to the end of the world…. so….
there she is, ended up in SRI LANKA.
Most of those friends Ms Huppy spoke to, somehow returned with this wide eye,
mouth open look to her when she sheeply shared that she iis going to Sri Lanka
for holidays….
One of them said “be careful of the Tamil tigers hor”…. Ms Huppy thought, what
tamil tiger, chinese tiger , malay tiger or ah mo tiger…. xiao la… and then she
realised they were referring to Osama good friends….. :p
Anyway who cares?! i got my JESUS CHRIST to protect me
Anyway, after several attempts to share, Ms Huppy was comforted to learn from 2
guy friends who say that its a romantic and beautiful place….
There Ms Huppy was, flew 3 hours on 8 Aug 2008 on CX 711 (Cathy Pacific)….!!
Sri Lanka!! Here I come!!
Ms Huppy totally forgot about National Day…. guess she’s been so patriotic that
she has decided to preach Singapore overseas :p
ARRIVAL
Ms Huppy touched down at 1030p.m. local time (1230p.m. Singapore time)
Immigration clearance
See the super-long queue. Luckily Ms Huppy pio out like a rocket, bypassing and
elbowing sleepy passanegers.
Deadly Signboards
Didnt know apart from Singapore who dish out capital punishment for drug
trafficking, Sri Lanka also adopt same practise.
Here I come! buddy countrymen!!
Airport Shops
Luggage pickup area
Pickup point
Our humble hotel room
Browns Beach Hotel
By the time we reached the hotel, it’s already 11:30p.m….. no time even for
foreplay… just go ZZZ.
1st Day – 9 Aug 2008
Aaarrrrghhhhhhh!!!!! Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!????
This morning, Ms Huppy woke up screaming on top of her lungs….
Ms Huppy had in a hurry, packed everything else except her makeup and suntan
lotion!!
OMG OMG! how to take pretty pictures w/o make up.
Oh nooooo…. no eyebrow pencil, no lipsticks, no face powder, no blusher….. and
not even a comb for her hair….. sob sob sob
And of course no suntan lotion la
Heard that temperature can reach 40 degree here… Ms Huppy guess she probably
will be roasted by the time she return to Singapore
Anyway, today at Sri Lanka, it was a bright, cheery and sunny day.
Pale Ms Huppy looking out of her room
Beautiful Beach View
Western breakfast
Healthy fruits.... got pomengonate, jackfruit lei!!
Our tour guide is this Sri Lankan by the name Silba, a 50 plus yr old
bespectacled man who talk and talk and talkabout everything else except the
culture of Sri Lanka… the virtue he has is that he especially loves to encourage
us to spend $$ to help improve the economy of Sri Lanka.
This morning, we suppose to visit the Pinnaawela Elephant Orphanage.
Established in 1975 with only 7 elephants, it now boosted a total of more than
80 elephants. Inititally started for the purpose of tourism, it has now become
a conservation and educational centre.
Elephant Orphanage
What can elephants do?
Elephants in the river
Mom elephant & her young
Naughty elephant chained
More elephants
Bathing the elephants
After like an hour, Ms Huppy had lunch there. The lunch was bad! and we got to
pay for drinks…
On the way out, took some pretty pictures of Ms Huppy…bare face….
Ms huppy act pretty
Ms Huppy act cute
After the orphanage tour, ms Huppy hopped into the wood carvings shop nearby.
Wood carvings shop
More wood carvings
Pretend to buy but actually for photo opportunity
The next stop, Ms Huppy went to climb the 5th century Sigiriya rock fortress.
This is a world heritage site, built by King Kashyapa (477-495AF). The “lion
rock” is a citadel of unusual beauty rising 200 m from the scrub jungle. This
rock was the innermost stronghold of the 70 hectare fortified town.
Sigiriya rock fortress
Entrance to the rock fortress
Below are more pictures of the interior of the fortress
Ms huppy was told that the king got 2 wives, 2 kids and 500 concubines. And
being a lao ti-ko, he loved to watch his 500 strong harem bath in the swimming
pool.
Ms Huppy wonders… if the king sees naked chao-bor everyday…how to get aroused?!
He probably turned to some other form of stimulants since I doubt they got XXX
movies then..
hmmm…. men???
Joke aside!
Ms Huppy now got to ascend 1200 steps to reach the peak else “sia-suay!!”
The cave
Lifting the butt crack
Beware of Hornets
Ms Huppy saw the signboard on her climb to the peak of the mountain. She was
told that there were hornets nest around and climbers need to beware. They even
have a house for climbers to hide when they are attacked!!
Lovely view on the way up
Climbing to view the paintings
Beautiful wall paintings
Mirror wall.
Interrupt! Ms Huppy finds this blog toughest to write and a bit “spooky” cos I
have been stuck at this paragraph for the longest time cos I simply cant upload
the pictures… and its already like 1a.m. in the morning….and I havent even
finish the first day….
sigh sigh…
But I just decides to publish PART 1 la….
Do come back for PART 2 hor…
i go kun liao….

FLY ME TO THE SKY……..
June 8, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged capsule, ferris wheel, marina,
singapore flyer, skyline
Foreword
Yesterday Ms Huppy slept for 16 hours….. from 6p.m. Saturday all the way till
10a.m. on Sunday. Actually Ms Huppy planned to go Changi Village eat wanton mee
but unfortunately, I am so comfy in the air-con room and simply slept through….
By the time Ms Huppy woke up, it was already 12 midnight.. she decided to pray
and than go back to zzz again.
Today, after church, Ms Huppy finally went to Changi Village for wanton mee, and
at the same time, go to Pulau Ubin.
Below are some of the pictures at Pulau Ubin….
Ferry ride to Pulau Ubin
Welcome Welcome!
Outward Bound School

Beautiful natural quarry
On the way back, Ms Huppy saw a man catching fishes during high tide.
At the car park, Ms Huppy saw a HELLO KITTY van cute!
THE REAL STORY
Ms Huppy was very priviledged to be invited for a FREE ride on Singapore Ferris
Wheel ~ The Sing-a-pore Flyer
It was on 6-6-2008, Ms Huppy reached Singapore Flyer at 6p.m. Actually Ms Huppy
didnt know that there was a ride initially but as she saw the word “Singapore
Flyer” on the invitation card, she was enticed cos’ she never been there before.
Being a sucker for new places and free dinners, Ms Huppy went.
Ms Huppy may come across as a very sociable person in her blog but in actual
fact, Ms Huppy hates to entertain…. least having to socialize with strangers…
but bo bian…. Ms Huppy was there for the free food and to tour the new place.
But God is really wonderful, when Ms Huppy reached there, she saw a long-time
business associate, Puat Fong from the power battery Energizer and the ex-beauty
queen, Teo Ser Lee. Puat Fong was as usual very delighted to see Ms Huppy
whereas Ser Lee looked at Ms Huppy with disdain…. Ser Lee was sure “high and
mighty”… and Ms Huppy wondered where’s her etiquette when she didnt even return
a namecard after Ms Huppy gave her her’s.
Anyway, the moment Ms Huppy heard about a FREE ride on Singapore Flyer, she
jumped to the opportunity and quickly ran to queue up for the ride
Really thanks to the many years of working with the National Day Committee, they
have gracious invited the Kiam Ka Na Ms Huppy for a FREE ride and there save her
$29.90. Th committee sure know how to please their sponsors!
Ms Huppy should have saved another $29.90 had she not missed out the fine print
which allowed her to bring her partner…. (bang Breasts man!).
Now, Ms Huppy shall take you through this memorable ride
Before Ms Huppy and other people entered the time capsule…, all of them were
held at a holding area to take a group photo… and Ms Huppy’s group consisted of
her and of course Ms Hao Lian Teo Ser Lee.
Ms Huppy was told that the ride was about 30 mins. It’s like $1 per min….;)
Ms Huppy thinks that one capsule can hold about 30 pax….
A LCD screen introducing Singapore Flyer
By the way, Ms Huppy was very fortunate. It was near sunset so she had the
opportunity to watch sunset.
Ms Huppy and her dear friend, Puat Fong
Pictures below were what Ms Huppy saw for the first 10 mins……
Next 10 mins…..the sky was getting dimmer….
ECP highway
Constructing the IR?
Did you see the floating bay where NDP is held?
The sun hiding behind tall building…
Tanjong Rhu stretch of condominiums
It’s not raining. It’s simply watching through air-con frosted glasses…..
The next capsule…. in front of our capsule
We know that we were at the top of the ferris wheel when we saw the capsule in
front of us falling lower….
More scenic views… and the sky was getting darker….
The Marina Bay golf course
Ms Huppy was so happy that she can finally see the sunset more clearly…. it’s
simply breath-taking
Ms Huppy managed to capture a cruise sailing across the river…..
The ride was finally coming to the end…..as the capsule approached the shopping
mall..
The capsule touched down and everyone exited. It was important to exit fast cos’
the capsule will simply continue to circle and if you did not manage to get off,
you will definitely be charged double fare. No wonder! Now Ms Huppy know why
they dun pack more people into the capsule!
One the way out, Ms Huppy caught a glimpse of the Singapore Flyer close up!
Ms Huppy must admit that this was a very scenic ride. However, as a
Singaporean, the views were simply so familiar to Ms Huppy ( as she travelled
ECP almost everyday!). Hence, the ride was somewhat boring to her.
And
Ms Huppy also observed this…. that the moment everyone stepped into the capsule,
they will head toward the most scenic part, i.e. near the window and start to
snap pictures… no one will bother to rest on the seats.
After like 5 – 8 mins, the people will chit-chat and walk around the capsule.
On the 15th min onwards, they will start to find a seat to rest…or lean against
the glass….
People will start fidgeting on the 20th min onwards and by the time the capsule
approached the last stop, everyone will be crowding around the exit.
Ms Huppy guess that Singaporeans are simply a bunch of impatient people who
can’t be caged up for too long else they go nuts!
Lastly, thank you so much for the FREE ride, Ms Huppy probably will consider
paying if it’s during fireworks display!!
Good Night!
Oink Oink!
Happy Tips No 25 ~ Learn to relax! relax! relax! and smell the ROSES
Oh! Forgot to mention that Ms Huppy saved another $15-$20 bucks cos’ she was
given the photo snapped with capsule as backdrop compliments of NDP!! Yip Yip
Hurray!!

BOLLYWOOD IN SINGAPORE
April 26, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged ang mohs, aromatic, bananas,
basketball, bollywood, coffee, farm visit, farms, garden, guava, indians,
nature, parks, pisang, poison ivy, rambutan, sweet potato, tapioca
Before I get into the topic…. just let me grumble grumble first….
Do you know its tough to be a regular blogger?
Whenever Ms Huppy writes a blog article, its minimum 3 hours and if she starts
blogging at 10p.m., guess what, she will never be able able to zzz till 3a.m.
Unlike her good friend, Uncle Loop which though nickname endless loop, likes to
take “kopi breaks” in between blogging and can write an article over few days….
Let’s not talk about those faithful fans who will occasionally “hint” to Ms
Huppy when her next article will be…. and that added unconscious pressure to the
“Happy~go~lucky” her
BUT the Halleluja part is that Ms Huppy blog now gets an average hit of 40 views
per day compared to just about 15 views per day a month back…..
Enough of grumbling…..
Anyway, Ms Huppy motto is to STAY HAPPY….. so today I shall share with all of
you an interesting place Ms Huppy has visited It is at the remote remote part of
Singapore…. even further than yr Jurong West….. Its all the way to Lim Chu Kang,
Neo Tien Road
This place is called Poison Ivy…. sound interesting right?! and the best part is
that is back to nature
Ms Huppy read about this place many moons back and only finally visited this
place on a Sunday, after chuch. The thought of going to a farm-like kopi tiam
really excite Ms Huppy as she simply loves her trees and shrubs. Best of all,
you can dine amidst the bees and butterflies….
So off she went, with her hubby tagging along…. as the chauffeur cum social
escort.
It was like over an hour of driving and trying to find where the place was, they
clocked like over 100km as they were travelling from one end to the other end of
the Singapore.
“Phew! thank God Singapore is a tiny island!” grasped Ms Huppy else she
probably swallowed her hubby alive…..as she turned into a cannibal due to deep
hunger.
And of course, along the way, as both Ms Huppy and huppy have never really
travelled to this part of the island, they came across interested places such as
the sungei kadut industrial park, a reservoir? many cemetries…..chicken farms…..
organic vege farms….. fish farms…..
Finally they arrived! In one piece
Entrance to the restaurant….
Bamboo baskets near the entrance
An Earth shop at the entrance of the restaurant…Ms Huppy and hubby strolled in….
Ms Huppy was surprised that despite the wu~lu Wu~lu location, the place was
still discovered by the food editors!
Ms Huppy was amazed by the rustic decor of the place…. below are just some
interesting fixtures….
When we entered the restaurant….. (sorry hor…. flash lights not working…)
Ms Huppy loved the colorful sashs hanging on the ceiling
The cowboy uncle cashier….. (just wondering is his favorite position “riding” on
bed??? or he loves to be ridden ??? )
Shelves displaying their sale wares … not cheap hor… a 200g potato chips is
about $3.00…
Wow! the many hats for those with fetish for hats….
Do u know they even sell seeds!!
The nostagic porcelain pot and metal drinking can??
Huge “Han~zi”
This is the first time that Ms Huppy dined in nature and of course indoor
air-con dining does not go well with Ms Huppy. She decided that outdoor dining
is the way to go!
So hey! Ms Huppy exited the back door and chose “Alfresco~style” dining instead
Outdoor dining place…. filled with fresh and humid air….
Dried potatos and leaves as decor…..
Wooden carved horse!
What a fish is that!
Remind Ms Huppy of those gigantic furnace for burning humans alive…. or is this
for baking human pies??!!
An olden day earthen big pot…. really reminded Ms Huppy of the good old days
Again flash lights not working la… but did u see a kite hanging by the side?
Danger! keep out! finally, its time to eat!
The moment Ms Huppy saw the menu on the blackboard, her stomach started to make
noises..!
Needless to say, Ms Huppy and hubby settled down at a comfy corner for lunch.
This was our table number ~S2. Guess what’s the bowl-like pot with the cover???
It’s….
It’s….
It’s…
a….
a….
ASHTRAY!!
Surprise! Surprise!! isn’t it?
We were given a less than interesting menu design…. but the food items looks
rather fine…and Ms Huppy took less than 5 mins ordering Ms Huppy was famished!!
The food arrived in 10 mins but seemed like 10 hrs….Ms Huppy was eyeing food at
the other tables for the longest time and waiting to pound on unsuspecting
diners…
But not without taking some nice photos for Ms Huppy fans!
The Nasi Lemak….. yummy yum yum!
The Curry Vegetables….
And the flower rojak chicken they claimed is the signature dish….
Ms Huppy thought it was called flower rojak cos the chef looks like he anyhow
cook this chicken dish and so it appeared like rojak!
Aloe Vera drink…. aloe vera supposedly plucked from the farm.
While dining, below were what Ms Huppy saw from her seat.
Looked like a desserted island….
Muddy pond in front of Ms Huppy….
A nicer view further front
Ms Huppy enjoyed the food though her hubby thought otherwise as he was complaing
that the nasi lemak was too expensive.
After a hearty meal, despite the hot sun…. Ms Huppy convinced her hubby to take
her for a stroll along the farm and as usual, being the caring hubby, he went to
the car to pick an umbrella to shield her from the UV rays
The farm visit costed $2 per person.
A simple map of the farm was provided… and made the $2 even more value for money
It was a long journey ahead
We started from the first plot and there were a total of about 15 plot of land
with different plantation!
Fans! now sit back and enjoy all the pictures below
Banana trees along the pathway
Banana lady’s fingers?? what’s that!
Snake Gourd but where’s the snake and where’s the gourd?
Longan tree ….hmmm.. Ms Huppy thought they grow on the ground…
Rambutan tree but no rambutans!
Wow! a bollywood villa at the other side of the river…
Plot 2 ~ Garden Farm
Starfruit tree with no starfruit
Coffee tree but where’s the coffee seeds? and Ms Huppy thought coffee is grown
underground!
Guava tree but no guava
Cashrew nuts but no nuts in sight except the 2 nuts on Ms Huppy
After a while , Ms Huppy and hubby think that they can also buy a pc of land and
plant many trees and called it a fruit farm. Anyway, just open during the low
season and charge few dollars and claimed that its not the fruit season yet.
Anyway, Ms Huppy still enjoyed the greenary and the mother nature.
A man-made pathway
Another IR in the making?
More banana trees
Finally saw some fruits but Ms Huppy must have been overly excited that she
forgot to take down the name of this tree
Sweet potato leaves… Ms Huppy never know it was so huge!
A budding fruit or is it a flower?
A snake den!! run for yr life!!
More fruits but again never take down the name This Ms Huppy so “tam~jia!
A rest area for the tired visitors but Ms Huppy dared not sit on the wooden
benches cos scare ants bite her backside.
wow! a huge pomelo!
Go bananas? the owner of this farm is so horny!
A lookout point to uncover couples handy-panky under the trees??!!
Huh! more bananas? This place is making Ms Huppy horny
Bananas of different shapes and sizes!!
yO~yO! Ms Huppy maybe able to “orgas” simply by feasting on these pisang :p
Fruitti Tutti Too……
Chempedak…. which means jackfruit! Yummy!
A breadfruit tree!!
Along theway, we discovered a SANCTUARY! Ms Huppy readily ventured through the
gate
A Sanctuary
Ms Huppy discovered a pond of plants! looked unkempt!
tree bark seats
Dried Lotus pond?
Sigh…. it’s not a sanctuary… looked more like Ms Huppy garden
When exiting the sanctuary, Ms Huppy saw an interesting signboard from afar
An ECO TOILET!!
When Ms Huppy ventured closely, she realised it a place to “wee~wee”… to
contribute some give fertilizers to the soil
Wild Singapore… Ms Huppy was convinced momentarily that this place is for “horny
sex maniacs”
And for sadistic as well
Did you manage to spot a tiger statue?
Ms Huppy moved on…
Beware of snakes along the way!
And she move on…
A willow pond?
Ms Huppy discovered some fishes inside the pond
Aiiiiii….. Ms Huppy found a ginger herb spice tree
A miniature guava tree… dun tell Ms Huppy the guavas were so small that she
can’t even see them!!
Aloe Vera plants
It’s really back to nature.
This is really a planet friendly bollywood farm
Finally, we have came to the end of the journey. When we returned to the outdoor
dining area, the place was already filled with diners.
And the last stop is of course to visit the toilet to relief ourselves and to
check if Ms Huppy has unconsciously wet her panty after visitng such a
provocative place
The Toilet
Ms Huppy male fans must really thank Ms Huppy for giving you guys a chance to
visit the female toilet virtually ;P
Pai Seh! never take any lady pee~ing…
Ms Huppy loves the colorful mirrors
There is even a special toilet.
On our way out, we found an aromatic garden.
Aromatic Garden…. hopefully the smell is not from where we just came from…
The garden is simply a walk around a pond lined with aromatic plants and you can
smell the aroma while strolling round this pond
Ms Huppy and hubby left in a very relaxed mood.
Btw, Ms Huppy forget to mentioned that there is a basketball court in this
place.
There were several Indians players on the basketball court. Just like Bollywood!
Ms Huppy hope that she has recommended an interesting place to her fans. To
reach here, apart from driving, you may take the Kranji express bus.
Some dos & donts tips when visiting this place : ~
1. Put on sunblock SPF 50+ or carry an umbrella unless you want to be a
“men~kali”
2. Wear long pants and covered shoes to prevent grass or snakes from tickling
you. Wear underwear too in case a snake sneaked into yr pants… its double
protection.
3. Dun bring tupperware or plastic bags to keep the fruits cos you may not find
any
4. Dun smoke in case you burn down this beautiful place
5. Track carefully else you become the fertilizer
6. Feast your eyes on those fruits and not your mouth
That’s all the the night Kiss Kiss Bye Bye!!!

CONVICTIONS OF AN EX-HELL DRIVER….
March 9, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged accident, BMW, dangerous,
driving, expressway, hell driver, summon, tail-gate, traffic police
>
It’s a raining day today…..
Ms Huppy loves the rain during the weekends….. you know why?
cos can rot at home, can give excuse to friends why cannot go out, dun need to
on air-con, can give excuse no need to wash clothes….
Anyway, I have been contemplating about sharing my driving tips for the longest
time
You ask why?
oh…..
1. cos’ wherever I go, ask all my friends or colleagues, I m known for 2
things…. i.e. my looks and my driving skills.
2. I have over 10 years of driving experiences and some of my memorable and
notable track record as follows.
* I hit my car against Far East Shopping centre the moment I drove my mum’s
car(lime green Nissan March) out after passing my driving for the first time.
The front bumper dropped out and I got to carry it all the way home. And yes,
there was a passenger in the car, my best friend in JC. And yes, after this
accident, I think they painted the corners of the car park “bright yellow”.
* I knocked down an Ah Nair motorist when making an illegal U-turn with my grey
Toyota Collora then. Thank God my best friend in UNI screamed loud enough
for me to stop in time before I ran over him like a bulldozer. I remembered I
was frowning and wondering how to break off a bad relationship. The poor
motorist fell from his bike, sustained bruises and got $50 kopi money from me
and a total overhaul to his bike.
* I was driving along PIE happily on my way home from UNI when my grey Toyota
Collora was knocked from the back by a pick-up. As the traffic was super
heavy that night, I agreed with the pickup driver that we should be
civil-minded and to drive to the side to negotiate. I was left there like a
fool and realized the bloody &^%$#@ driver ran away and I did not copy down
his car plate number nor identity number. I drove home in tears….
* I out-ran cars filled with “leeches” who followed me and disturbed me on 2
seperate occasions. One of which is a sports car.
* A 5-series BMW crashed into my grey Toyota Collora rear wheel driver side
(this poor car happened to be most unlucky) and I spinned into Scotts road
like a turtle at the Newton Circus roundabout. I was still cursing at the car
for not stopping when I desperately tried to jam the brakes several times. I
was into my 2nd job and I brought my sales gal out for cold call. The poor
gal has to restrained me from a vicious “tougue fight” with the lady driver.
* It was a peaceful ride with my champagne colored Toyota Collora for 2 years
subsequently.
* A “ku-ku” traffic police drove right into my silver Citroen C5 back when I
was caught in a jam on PIE. For the first time, I saw a bloody traffic police
* Then it was peaceful for another 3 years……
* Last year at almost midnight, I crashed my red BMW till the air bag came out.
I was totally cool and was still attempting to control my car while it
skidded and went out of control. I was devestrated when my BMW spinned right
into a Toyota which sent it spinning into the bushes.
After the last accident, I was repentent to turn over a new leaf. I sold away my
favourite chilli red BMW (a high performance car cos modified with vra~vra vroom
exhaust, 18 inch rims, lowered to an angle where cornering is stable but yr
undercarriage will constantly caress the super big humps on Singapore roads no
matter how u crawl over it).
Btw, I realised Singaporean can be very Kapoh and helpful. Why kapoh lei? cos’
during my last accident where my BMW was positioned against the traffic, one
stupid Volvo driver was staring so hard at what happened that he slowed down his
car subconsciously causing the lorry behind (also curious and staring) to hit
against him…. right in front of me and the police who was recording down what
happened. However, the driver simply drive on either w/o knowing what happened
or feeling rich.
Why helpful lei? cos’ an Ah Nair came to our rescue and volunteered to be my
witness. He convinced me, the guy I hit and the police that I was not speeding.
I was so upset that I caused distress to someone then that if its not for him, I
probably went into depression right there. Even the guy I hit had to console me.
The whole matter was settled amicably but 2 months later, I received a summon
from traffic police for reckless driving. My bank was down by $200 + 6 demerit
points.
So…. i sold away my BMW as I think it was a JINX!
Now, I have been pretty safe driving my Benz.
Ms Huppy looks so sexy and demure…. look like hell-driver meh???….
“Trophies” I gotten for driving…..
* I was the number one kart-racer in my UNI days.
* I was voted the most “hiong hiong” and “fastest” driver in all my workplace.
Mind you, I am not talking about a company of less than 10 people. But a
company of between 50 to over 1000 staff.
* I was the default driver whenever we are late for meetings.
So much about my driving history….. today I wanted to share some useful tips and
some common observations on the road about the typical Singaporean Drivers.
Before I begin, I got a disclaimer hor.
Disclaimer ~ whatever is shared is purely from Ms Huppy personal driving
experiences. These observations or tips are not ways to help you improve your
driving skills hor. Whoever followed my tips shall be liable and responsible for
your own actions. Ms Huppy shall NOT and NEVER will be responsible in any way
should things go wrong.
Ms Huppy suggests you guys take it as a pinch of salt la. Afterall, I am a woman
lei….. what can u make out of a woman right?!!! If you tell people you learning
driving from woman? they sure laugh at you….
On Expressways
* If you are a fast driver, always attempt to keep to the extreme right lane
(stupid tip right you say? cos everyone sure knows). But during a very heavy
traffic jam, try keeping to the extreme left lane, you are almost always
guaranteed a smoother and faster ride when everyone attempt to filter to the
right.
* Signal when you want the driver in the other lane to speed up so that you can
filter into his/her lane. It’s almost 90% true except with the 10% of
considerate Singapore drivers or ah-ma/ah-pek drivers. On the other hand, if
the car behind on the other lane is driving at a normal speed and you want to
filter into this lane, just filter. No need to signal else like I say, he/she
speeds up. To determine whether to filter before or after the car depends on
how far behind the car is from yr car. So plse make a wise gauge.
* Tail-gate as close as possible if an inconsiderate driver hog the extreme
right lane but not when u are not familiar with the performance of your car
or when you are not a skilful driver. Almost 90% of the time, the car in
front will ‘siam’. Btw, this is not a tip hor, this is an observation that
bully has its way. Having driven for so long, I recommend you cultivate some
patience on the road.
* Dun bother to tail-gate cars on the extreme left lanes, they are oblivious to
your presence.
* Always attempt to see 2- 3 car length in front in case of emergency.
Therefore, try not to follow behind trucks, lorries, buses, super huge MPVs
or SUVs cos they probably blocked your views.
* When EMAS (the electronic board hanging along the highway where traffic info
are shown) tells you to keep to the left or the right cos there is a road
block ahead, dun bother, cos everyone else will be doing so too early. Ms
Huppy is always able to filter out of the road block almost immediately after
bypassing hundreds of cars who “kawi kwai” filtered to the other lane.
* Be always ready to turn-on the headlights when entering a tunnel cos you wont
know when the JI terrorist will strike and cut off all the power supply.
Didnt you know Mas Selamat Kastari escaped despite being in detention? Just
like u never know when yr menses will leak while sleeping or when the sperm
will flow out…. so better wear overnight wing and condom respectively. The
morale of the story is… you never know what will happen??
* Stay alert and look out for sotong animals, dancing ah nairs and stuntmen
trying to run across expressways. Like what one of the the Navy TV
commercials says “STOP DREAMING!!!”
* To determine if the car in front on the next lane is filtering into your lane
when the car is not signaling, look at the wheels. From the way the wheels
turn, you will know whether the chap in-front is trying to cut into yr lane.
At Traffic Light Junction
* When beating traffic lights, accelerate and get ready to brake at the same
time cos’ at the corner of yr eyes, you may catch a traffic police at the
other side of the road or a speed camera. Again, suggest you dun risk yr life
or others cos’ its not worth it. But if you can’t resist the temptation like
Ms. Huppy last time, take extra precaution. It’s just like you tell yr
girlfriend to take contraceptive pills while you double-up with a condom.
* Dun always assume it’s safe and “song” when u are about to stop at the
traffic light. Be prepared to move forward a metre or two when u hear
screeching sound directly from the back during the 1st 10sec after you
stopped at the traffic lights. This is especially so when u jammed to stop.
* You can always be the first to accelerate after the traffic light turns green
but not before you ensure that there are no car trying to beat the traffic
lights at the other side of the road.
* At the red light, dun stop behind Benz, buses, vans or saloon cars with lots
of cute cute stuff behind or cars with many family members if you want to
move faster than the rest. You are almost guaranteed to be the last to move.
The ideal is to stop behind sports bikes, BMWs, Minis, any sports
cars, modified car or any car that looks “beng~ish”.
On~the~Roads
* Instead of trying to figure out if the car at the side road is moving out or
not, try to observe the facial expression of the driver whenever you have a
chance to, you will be able to better gauge the situation.
* When sms-ing, eating yr favourite char kway teow, hamburger or doing
something funny to your partner, please do not lift yr eyes off the road. I
strongly caution drivers against drinking hot beverages or consuming hot food
e.g. laska in case you spill and hurt your little “brother” or “sister”.
* Sit straight while driving though it means discomfort, preferably head above
steering wheel. It is not only good for your back in case you “kiao ku” but
it also protects you from your air bag in case you crashed. Ms Huppy got a
bruise on her elbow and not her face cos she has the habit of sitting
straight 90 degree perpendicular to her seat.
* When your car skids, do not attempt to control the steering wheels or jam the
brakes hard else the car goes heywire, try to depress and release brake
lightly and just PRAY PRAY PRAY that no car will block yr path!
* Do not “snake” yr hands through the steering wheel to pick up stuff or press
some button while negotiating a turn as the steering wheel probably break yr
hand when it turns back.
* When your car came to a complete haul or steering wheel is stucked and
unmoveable (this happens to cars with many electronic gadgets) while making a
U-turn with on-coming traffic, simply restart the car immediately by turning
on and off the ignition key.
Myth
1. It is not true that all women are lousy drivers. I realised that women are
either very aggressive drivers or very careful drivers. Though I must say
almost 80% of them are overly careful and hence the impression that they are
slow. Ms Huppy definitely belongs to the 20% minority group
1. That the speed camera monitors both sides of the road. Only one side of the
road is being monitored. This is wat Ms Huppy thinks cos’ whenever she
bypassed a speed camera, she noticed that only one side of the camera has a
red light lit up. For those who think otherwise, you are welcome to
enlighten me.
How to get your way?
A wave or an apologetic smile will always work….
* when trying to filter out of a heavy jam
* when you irriate someone by cutting into his/her lane abruptly
* when you block someone’s lane
* when someone give way to you
Driving is a dangerous feat. It is always better to be safe than sorry. After
many years of driving and having encounter, read and witness my fair share of
bullies, accidents, mishaps, my advice to all drivers is the same as what the
Navy TVC in 1999 says, “Keep Watch. Every Minute. Every Second.”
That’s all for now. Ms Huppy got mental block liao.
Good night!

MODERN TARZENS & JANES ;)
February 13, 2008 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged danger, demonstration,
GPS, Jungle Trekking, KL, Malaysia, riot, tear gas, tyre puncture, waterfall
Hi fans,
I am soooooooo sorry for not publishing any article for the last 2 months…. I
was soooooo damn super busy u know.
Do what?
Ai ya! what else?
Work la.
Entertain all my friends la esp. like keeping Endless “s~excited” :p
Pei lao kong, got to whisper sweet nothings to him every night
Eat la like char kway teow, hokkien mee, laska…. yum….. yum….
Kun la….. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
oh ya! i must admit that I was addicated to facebook. Everyday, I was poking
here poking there, flirting with ah bengs, ah sengs and ah lians, bombing this
ship & tat ship, feeding my many cute little pets
So one day, while I was happily feeding my pet pig “oink oink”, endless loop ~MY
DIE HARD FAN dropped me a note telling me to update my blog (now filled with
spidey-cobwebs)….
So here i am, i decided to share with you an adventurous experience of Ms Huppy
which was nearly buried untold.
I decided to write about this when i shared this story with some of my church
friends at a funeral wake recently and was called a FOOL
I thought it will be good to share so you guys dun follow my footsteps….
The story goes………
One 24 Nov 2007, a group of 6 that comprises 2 ang mohs, 1 ah nair and 3 “teng
langs” set off to a rural part of Malaysia to attempt to bash thru the jungle.
Hurray!!! we are ready!!! (Ms Huppy taking photo la so not inside)
Finish liao huh…. ok la… let’s walk back to the car.
French girl (scratching ass happily)
So they rented a Hyundai Trajet for the trip + many cans of food + mineral
waters + coal etc etc Ms Huppy thinks its enough for 3 days.
Saw Ms Huppy peeping into the camera?? Endless Tay on her right. Coffeemilk Jeff
behind her. Ah Nair Ganesh behind endless. Eve behind ah nair and Carol next to
Eve
We had breakfast at Pulai Malaysia and lunch at a humble roast meat stall in
Malaysia.
Endless Tay pointing to the roast meat stall
Happy faces before the torture!
After lunch, we went on a last min shopping spree and one of the items we bought
was a Parang!
Just one parang to attack wild boars, wild bears, gorillas, chop wood and maybe
to cut the bread or the butter. The guys said that they know karate, so one,
just one is enough. Can share share…..
Two Ah bengs above trying to show-off how to pose with a MEAN parang
By the time we reached the starting point, it was already 3p.m. The natives
there warned us to climb faster in case we met valley ghosts……
On our way to the jungle
Looked like a guarded jungle. We were hopping to find gold mines and treasures.
On the way in…..
And
And
Finally we found the spot to abandon our car….
in the bushes
but temporarily la….
Below 6 pictures basically summed up what happened in the next fifteen mins and
the food and stuff we brought along for an overnight trek.
After piling all the items into our bag and onto ourselves, we set off looking
for the waterfall on a tiny map printed by a desktop printer on a A4 conqueror
paper. The trek was only 2km. Level of difficulty High but coffeemilk Jeff, the
trek planner assured us that from the map, it looked pretty easy and that the
person must have graded the trek wrongly.
Endless Tay and Coffeemilk Jeff took the lead (no choice…. cos prior to the
trek, they both bragged that they are well trained in “Typo~ing” in the army)
The rest “kwai kwai” followed behind
The road was muddy
Say *Cheese* while you still have the energy
Ah Nair Ganesh regretted coming
Pai sai… u bigger size and you man lei… so u should carry more …. else i show
you my grumpy face…
Thick growth
Some more thicker growth
Coffeemilk Jeff was so lost… but he pretended to be on the right track
Endless Tay trying to lead despite knowing he was lost
Ah Nair so happy cos he thought he found THE WAY!!
Everyone screamed with delight when we saw the stream. Bo Hee Hay Ma Ho… (no
fish shrimp also good)
Despite walking like for an hour, still no sight of the waterfall. Can hear the
sound of rushing water of waterfall but all of us must be tone-deaf, the longer
we walked, the further away we were from the sound of rushing water.
Guess something wrong with our hearing or sense of direction
Ms Huppy was very doubtful that the 2 “wise” men will bring us to the waterfall.
She just kept praying for all our safety in case some one suay suay kana bitten
by deadly mosquito, or stung by scorpions or kissed by cobra…… *pai pai* (scare
scare)
Endless Tay Ah Seng thinking to himself “Puay tahan! wat the hell am I doing
here?”
Coffeemilk Jeff “do you need me to massage you?”
Endless Tay “ok la. This is tiger balm. make sure u rub me shiok shiok!”
All waiting for their turn to be massaged by Coffeemilk Jeff
Hurray! completed 2 person (Endless Tay and Ah Nair Ganesh behind) and
was awarded with 2 kisses
DANGER case 1
On our way to the “dun know if we can find” waterfall, we came across a group of
san bor bor bare-bodied men relaxing on a makeshift hut and somehow our “wise”
men got the guts to approach them to ask for directions. One of our wise men
even took out his whole wallet and showed them how much money he had before
tipping them RM10 for giving us some directions.
However, on our way up the trek, one of the “wise” men decided to turn back
because his six sense told him that it was not safe to carry on trekking with 3
chio-bu and a gang of potential rapist loitering around.
It was a wise decision!
Come to think about it, Ms Huppy was thankful that she was not gang-raped and
abandoned naked in the bushes…. and bitten by insects and made headline on NEW
STRAITS TIMES.
I made it back!!
Yeaaaa!!! me too!
Show off their bright smiles and macho~ness cos can go back liao
And of course we got to throw away the Parang in case one of us “key xiao” la
Btw, when i naively shared this trekking experience with my hubby, i kana
scolded very badly for being foolish and for going trekking with first timers
Anyway, the story has to go on…….. as there were somemore interesting
experiences…
Our original mission was aborted and we decided to stay overnight at KL City.
As Ms Huppy is very familiar with KL, she became the tour guide that night.
It was already very late when we arrived in KL
Interesting grafftti on the wall
We had great local food that night
We rested early after dinner.
zzz
zzz
zzz
zzz
Next morning, we woke up and decided to visit the famous Petronas Towers.
On our way there, we were told that the areas around Petronas Towers were closed
as there were demonstrations by Indians.
My kakis, being gungho, decided to join in the fun. Ms Huppy being foolish
again, decided to follow suit.
We took lightrail train to Petronas Towers
It was all quiet…..
There were barricades along the road to close off part of the road
As we moved closer, we could see people congregating
Petronas Towers looked so near… so we decided to venture further in
We even dared to pose for pictures
Oops! we were in the midst of the protest unconsciously!
oh nooooo!!! Ms Huppy regretted her foolish ways…..
We were lost in the jungle, now we were lost in the crowd
There was a helicopter to the rescue
DANGER case 2
Ms Huppy decided to exit from the crowd but it was a second too late. The next
thing she saw was tear gas and big water hose piping water at the crowd.
She was unable to sprint cos she was wearing 4-inch high platform shoes. Ms
Huppy was elbowed left and right. She literally experienced a min version of a
stampede.
Ms Huppy mood was super %$#@ foul after this incident.
And as usual, kana scolded and told not to go out with my this gang anymore. Of
course, the men were condemned by my hubby for failing to protect the women and
for bringing them to dangerous places.
Ms Huppy felt even more foolish and dumb for joining in the fun.
and more misfortune continues……
….
….
At noon time, the group checked out of the hotel and made our way back to
Singapore. We were planning to reach home by 5p.m.
So happily…..
at about 3p.m……
after about 2 hours of driving….
DANGER case 3
while we were joking and singing in the car, we heard a “thump” sound and we
discovered that we got a punctured tyre!!
It was the tyre at the driver seat
Expert mechanic Endless Tay tried to fix it with the help of Coffeemilk Jeff and
Ah Nair Ganesh
Ma-chiam still so happy. Ms Huppy wondered how Endless Tay can get an orgasm
just by changing tyres.
The badly damaged tyre
I think we must be damned ass-luck. After replacing with the spare tyre, we
realised that the spare tyre “lao hong”
So bo-pian (no choice), Endless Tay went to the nearest emergency phone booth to
call for help.
SOS station along highway
After waiting for like 30 mins, our rescuer arrived…..! but on the opposite side
of the road
Discussing secret mission….???
The Malaysia police exercised some safety precaution to inform other cars of
breakdown vehicle
After an intensive discussion, Endless Tay decided to follow the police to the
nearest tyre shop to get a tyre.
Endless Tay negotiating the price of a new tyre
Finally, after a very very long long time of at least 2 hour, endless Tay
returned with a brand new tyre for RM200.
The helpful highway police fixed the new tyre
All of us were simply delighted! we were on our way home again!!
yippie yippie!
and we travelled toward Singapore
DANGER case 4
10m
50 m
100 m
500m
1km
and
“plonk!”
and the car went zig-zag abit……
and
we imagined the worst!!!
and it came true!!
oh no! this time was the front passenger tyre!
Our joy was so short-lived…. i think even an orgasm lasted longer
By now, all of us was already very very frustrated.
Carol retreated into the bushes to mediate…..
Ms Huppy was so frustrated and shocked beyond words
and the whole process of waiting repeated itself.
It’s getting dark and we were still waiting……
Another 2 hours gone and while waiting, we decided to bring out our camp food
and we started a camp fire inside the “long gao”(drain). We boiled water for
coffee and the cup noodles.
This whole cooking affair lightened the atmosphere and livened our mood.
By the time endless Tay reached back but now with a used tyre at RM90 was about
8 p.m.
This time fixed back the tyre ourselves cos paisai to trouble the police again
That day, we reached home at about 10p.m.
I think endless Tay must have O several times changing tyres. That’s why this
photo blur cos hand “jun” while taking pictures.
Dun you think we had an eventful trip?
Some lessons i picked up after the trip….. in order to be wiser
1. Do not follow others blindly
2. Do not put yourself in compromise position unnecessarily
3. Always wear long sleeve and long pant when trekking
4. Don’t believe what the men tell you too easily esp. when they claimed they
are expert in the area
5. Joining the crowd may not always be wise
6. Always be sensitive to your surroundings and the dangers that lurked behind
7. Men may be good with road directions but not necessary when they are among
trees, scrubs and bushes
8. Know how to change tyre
9. You can get the big O while changing tyres
Good night!! Happy reading!

BEFORE 2005 & AFTER 2007 CHONGQING, CHINA
December 24, 2007 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged China, ChongQing,
Holiday, Spa
Today is another rainy day again
Ms Huppy loves the rainy day only when she gets to zzz in…. and of course this
means it got to be during the weekends or public holidays.
Today is a Sunday so Ms Huppy got to laze around like a 吃软饭 enjoying the
thunderous and pouring music by 老天爷.
Unfortunately Ms Huppy was in a foul mood today because she remembered that she
broke a cup she has given to her hubby on his last birthday However, instead of
being apologetic and sorrowful, Ms Huppy accused her hubby for not keeping her
present in a meaningful place but instead left it lying around. Ms Huppy was a
高手 when it comes to torturing her hubby mentally.
After pushing all the responsibility to her poor dumbfounded hubby and
dispensing enough threats, both of them went to zzz and quite amazingly hugging
each other. Guess after years of marriage, the hubby has learnt to turn a deaf
ear when Ms Huppy 发唠骚.
As usual, Ms Huppy woke up refreshed and very innocently forgot what she has
done and decided to blog about her trip to Chong Qing.
And why the title “Before” & “After” was cos Ms Huppy realised that she has
travelled to this remote part of China twice. The very first time in 2005 with
her hubby for 5 days of leisure and now in yr 2007 with her business partners
for 3 days.
The best part about going to ChongQing during both occasions was that the
airfares were free. It was either sponsored by the bank or by the company
The flight to ChongQing was approximately 5 hours on Silkair direct from
Singapore. Ms Huppy was there in early Dec 2007.
After ~ In 2007 minus hubby
When Ms Huppy alighted, she was very impressed with the efficiency of the China
people as compared to her last trip in 2005.
She was able to clear custom in less than 10 mins!
Initially Ms Huppy thought that it was her 美色 that led the immigration officer
to smile beamingly at her till she saw below gadget.
1st wonder ~ Customer service assessment equipment
Ms Huppy dun remember seeing such a gadget when she first visited ChongQing in
2005. She was really impressed with the service level. In fact, while queuing,
an officer went around checking everyone’s passport and forms to ensure
everything was in order to speed up the entire process.
Of course, in return for the smile, Ms Huppy pressed the “very satisfied” button
to the delight of the officer.
From the airport, The China host ferried Ms Huppy and her partners to the hotel.
It was a 3-star tourist class hotel near town. Unfortunately, due to memory
loss, Ms Huppy simply couldnt recall the name of the hotel.
Interestingly, the hotel room was rather big and the host bragged that it was
the best hotel in the area.
Below were some pictures of my room.
Fortunately and unfortunately, Ms Huppy was given a room all by herself. But the
truth is that Ms Huppy has phobia sleeping all by herself cos she has wild
imagination of the spiritual beings
As you could see, the room was really big! It even come with an exercise bike
and a 2-seater sofa.
Before settling down to sleep, Ms Huppy combed the entire room for hidden
corpses. She peeked under the bed, into the cupboards, under the table, behind
the sofa, in the bath tub (oops! sorry, no bath tub) and behind the curtains.
Ms Huppy found several interesting stuff in the room.
A shelf on the wall displaying tibits. A taboo for snack lover like Ms Huppy. It
was a battle of mind and will power every night!
In the toilet, there were a set of free toiletries and another set of toiletries
such as towels, razor, sanitary pads for sale.
Ms Huppy is really impressed with the Chinese, they really seize every
opportunity to make more money
The next 2 items she found beside the bed simply amazed Ms Huppy!
2nd wonder ~ This yellow pill was none other than viagra for man and woman.
As Ms Huppy flipped through the manual, she learnt that this pleasure pill can
literally increase the testorone level of the one who consume it. Ms Huppy was
so tempted to swallow it but was worried that she may end up raping the bell
boy.
3rd wonder ~ Woman condom!!
Ms Huppy nearly freaked out when she found the woman condom! It was supposed to
exterminate all “unwelcome” fluids into the body.
OMG! OMG! Ms Huppy suddenly realised that she was brought into a lover nest.
To confirm her suspicious, Ms Huppy received several anoyomous calls in the
middle of the night
Back in 2005, Ms Huppy stayed in a 5-star hotel in Harbor Plaza ChongQing (below
pic) in City. Though the room was not very big, it has the ambience of a high
class hotel.
That night, Ms Huppy couldn’t quite sleep as she realised that she has forgotten
to check the fridge for frozen mutilated body parts
The Next Day
While waiting for our China biz partner to pick us up. Ms Huppy saw another 2
interesting equipment near the hotel lobby.
A mobile phone charger station
A shoe polisher machine
Today was spent discussing biz and touring a country club cum spa.
Entrance to the spa
Hot Yoga area facing nice scenary
Treatment rooms with different themes
Outdoor swimming pool
Billard tables
Gym
We proceeded for lunch.
Coincidentally, the place Ms Huppy went for lunch was the same place she went
the last time she was at ChongQing in 2005!
In 2007 ~ the NEW 外婆桥 restaurant
Ms Huppy discovered that in China, it is important for the host to treat their
guests generously. For the first time, for lunch, we were served about 15
dishes.
Leftovers from the lunch
It’s so sinful knowing that we have wasted so much food! Ms Huppy pray hard that
“Ti Kong” will not struck us with lighting
Another interesting observation was when dining in a private room, the host will
always sit facing the door. Being ignorant, Ms Huppy partner sat facing the door
and the bill came to her. It was simply “malu” as the China host had to signal
the waiter to bring the bill over.
After lunch, we went to the city for some shopping. It was really congested with
people and cars.
Another interesting discovery was the car park. The shopping centre we parked at
had a auto double-decker storey car park.
Cars were stacked on top of the other
Ms Huppy moved around the same shopping belt as the last time she visited
ChongQing in 2005.
Shopping streets of ChongQing in 2007
The streets of ChongQing in 2005
Back in 2005, it was already a fad to dye yr pet. Poor dog!
We shopped around for few hours till night falls.
That night, we had their popular dish “Ma la” steamboat.
“yuan yang” steamboat
That night, Ms Huppy slept better with the lights on but was awoken in the
middle of the night when the furniture creaked
The Last Day
As this was a biz trip. The morning was spent finalizing the biz details.
Lunch was their popular salty duck soup at a humble stall along the road.
Unfortunately, Ms Huppy had stomach upset. Regardless, Ms Huppy could not resist
the aroma of the duck soup and proceeded to google 2 bowl of soups.
Yummy duck soup
What follow was of course more frequent visits to the toilet and a sore asshole
Again after lunch, we visited another shopping belt.
Ms Huppy was very fortunate to be able to catch 古天乐 Louise Khoo concert.
For those who love shopping and has no boyfriends, hubbies or bangladeshi to
help to carry your goods, there were available helpers at hand. You simply pay
RMB5 ($1) and someone will carry your barang barang to your car. The someone is
called “棒棒”.
“棒棒”
There were young 棒棒 but Ms Huppy took a shot of some senior ones. Ms Huppy heart
went out to them as they were in their retirement age but due to poverty, they
needed to work for a living
Btw, ChongQing was like 12 – 15 degree and everyone were in coat and boot, Ms
Huppy for once became the centre of attraction for women as she was the only
lady wearing open-toe shoes.
Wrong shoes!
That day, Ms Huppy was not really in the mood of shopping so she decided to go
for a hair wash. It was well worth the money cos for RMB30 ($6), she got a good
wash and blow and a top to toe body massage for almost 1 1/2 hours.
Ms Huppy like a “suan ku” lying on the massage bed cum sink
That evening, before going to the airport to catch the midnight flight, the
China host brought us to a local joint for wanton soup.
The popular wanton soup joint patronize mainly by the locals
Price list for different portion of wanton soup
Hot & Spicy Wanton Soup
Clear soup wanton soup
Ms Huppy love hot and spicy food but due to the diahorrea earlier, she had to
settle for clear wanton soup. Regardless it was still very yummy and she
swallowed 20 wantons
According to my host, there is a saying like this:-
重庆 – > 辣不怕
胡南 ->不怕辣
贵州 -> 怕不辣
Ms Huppy can live in any of the above mentioned country cos chilli is a must in
her daily food intake.
By the time Ms Huppy arrived at the airport, it was about 2200hrs.
Interestingly, the entire airport only served one flight. Amazing!
Ms Huppy felt like a VIP.
One and only flight to Singapore
The counter was closed as it was just too early
All these passengers were waiting for that one and only flight to Singapore
That was the end of the biz trip
Just to add on what else Ms Huppy did the last time. She travelled in a cruise
to the stunning Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Below were some pics.

祝我生日快乐 ;)
November 7, 2007 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged birthday, earshot, marina
south pier, Pier Eleven, pulau ubin, viewing tower
Ms Huppy aged by another 365 days recently
The only saving grace is that for those who do not know my age, most of them
thought that I am at least half a decade younger. I guess the YOUTHFUL GENES
runs in my family
Why did I say that?
My mum looks like my elder sister. My dad looks like my big brother.
My sister, a mum liao, looks like she is in her teens.
And last but not least….
My brother…. my mum says he “sha boey sick” (immature in ah moh term)
and
Did I mention that my 85 yr old grandpa has a 40 yr old girlfriend?
For looking young, I married a younger hubby and probably can consider keeping a
few tall, dark and handsome suger-baby honey hunks
So…. what about my birthday?? and what’s so interesting about my birthday?
Let me start bragging and lamenting
But my woes are just minor la. Just one woe
I only receive a bouquet of flowers sigh sigh sigh……
In my past birthdays, I used to receive several….. from friends, from full time
lovers, part-time lovers, hubby but for Yr 2007, I only received one bouquet
Sad isn’t it? I waited and waited until my neck long long and even after my
bird-date but still only “Satu” bouquet
I wanted to go home and HAMMER my hubby but decided against it cos’ my golf
clubs are still brand new.
So…. for the special bouquet, I want to specially thank my VICE friends for
sending me the bouquet of Sunflowers. They are really lovely and they brighten
my day though it was sent too early.
And I got more people to thank for making my bird day so very special and I
experience one of the best birthdays of my life…..
Episode One ~ 4 days before Ms Huppy birthday
* Celebration with Mr. Black
When was the last time you visited Pulau Ubin?
For some of you, you probably think that there’s really nothing fantastic in
this remote island.
And for those who have been there a long time ago, like Ms Huppy, you probably
think that the Bukit Timah Reserve or Sungei Buloh in Singapore island are
better places.
Little did I know that Pulau Ubin has changed if not for my good buddy, Mr.
Black who brought me there.
It was supposed to be a surprise birthday treat for me!
Ms Huppy was indeed surprised! cos’ knowing Mr. Black “tak-ko” physique and
“leng bei” nature (I think my 93 yr old ah-ma probably look tougher), it
was definitely not an activity that Ms Huppy will ever dream that Mr. Black will
even suggest.
But then again, if we can even think about cloning humans, what’s there to be
surprised of?
At the back of Ms Huppy mind, she was really sure that Mr. Black is not a dating
expert or he probably think that Ms Huppy is his army kaki.
For the fact that he brought Ms Huppy for a “sunburnt” session.
But again, thank goodnes that Mr. Black brought Ms. Huppy. If it was any other
pretty chio bu, Mr. Black probably won’t get to go on a 2nd date.
Anyway, bo pian! so off they went!
The ride from Changi Ferry Terminal to Pulau Ubin was about 15mins and at a dear
$2 per pax. Ms Huppy thought that taking MRT would be cheaper.
Below were some of the nice scenary
Ms Huppy deeply engrossed in some gossip chinese newspapers
Ms Huppy finally landed on the island
Beautiful rustic scenary
Greeted by many bicycle rental shops the moment you stepped onto the shores
Mr. Black and Ms Huppy rented a mountain bike ($6 each) and went exploring on 2
wheels.
Due to time constraint (as need to rush back Singapore island before
7p.m.), they decided to take the recommended route which happened to be easier
and more scenic ~ Chek Jawa Wetlands.
Along this route, there’s mangrove boardwalk and a viewing tower.
The 2-storey viewing tower
As usual, Ms Huppy raced up the tower with Mr. Black trailing far far behind.
Isn’t the views simply breathtaking!!
Ms Huppy really has the Top of the World feeling when She was there and for
once, She was grateful to Mr. Black for bringing her there.
Next, they strolled along the Mangrove Boardwalk. It was a quiet and leisure
walk. By then, it was about 6p.m. and the sun was setting. The weather was
really cool and breezy.
Ms Huppy saw many interesting plants and creatures along the way.
Welcome to mangrove boardwalk!
Can u see the NIPAH plant?
The mud lobster that couldnt be found
Below 3 pics were some really artistic mangrove trees
Beautiful rocks
A mud skipper lei!!
Yummy flower crabs! Remind Ms Huppy of mini crab tibits… yum yum!
Ghastly looking seaweed!
I spotted my favourite “la la” when peeking down the bridge.
Ms Huppy posing at the bridge.
Ms Huppy was simply delighted to be able to watch sunset. It was so romantic!
Ms Huppy wished that the time can just stop for her to savor every moment until
she was emotionally satisfied.
Mother nature is just so magnificant. It never fails to enthrall Ms Huppy time
and time again. Ms Huppy can only wish that she has more time to relish every
moment of it……
The sun has set by the time they left Pulau Ubin….
Lingering Thoughts
Contrary to what most people would prefer for a birthday celebration, a day
spent with the mother nature is a great and perfect gift for Ms Huppy.
As all of you may know, with the hustle and bustle of city life, city dwellers
like Ms Huppy rarely has time to pause to marvel at God’s creation.
This day trip really transported Ms Huppy back to the good old kampung days
where life was simplier and much less stressful (u guys must be wondering Ms
Huppy must be “lao cock cock” liao)
Credit to Mr. Black for his efforts to plan this entire trip For all the
planning, Mr. Black really deserve a big HUG!
Episode Two ~ 2 days before Ms Huppy birthday
* Celebration with My Coffeemilk Friend
CoffeeMilk, a dear colleague gave a personal gift for me.
He played a piano piece for me….!!! and its Beauty And The Beast!! A song
requested by me.
Coffeemilk J brought me to Earshot at the musuem. It’s no surprises cos’
Coffeemilk is really a casanova and he never stop surprising me with his “Mao
Zhe Dong” intellect, dry and black humour and girlish mannerisms at times.
True enough, Eatshot is a great place to idle cheaply cos’ you can buy a cup of
teh or kopi and zzz from morning till preferably next morning (if u can blend
into the wall). There were also plenty of books and CDs for yr reading and
listening pleasure.
And of course, they have a classic Yamaha piano at the corner.
Coffeemilk J feeling stressed and pressurized to perform well. Staring intensely
at the piano and his “xiao jie” fingers
Ms Huppy sitting beside Coffeemilk J to give him some encouragement and to
remind his “xiao jie” fingers not to shiver….
A “V” sign dedicated to Coffeemilk J to tell him that its great!
Ms Huppy was so delighted. This is the FIRST time in my life that someone has
ever played a song for me in public!! (though I must say its only, me,
CoffeeMilk, Endless and a couple of curious waiters and waitresses)
And I must really thank Coffeemilk cos’ he spent 3 days practising the song to
deliver a 75% perfect piece (wanted to give him 65% but scare kana “hum-tum” and
lost my priviledge next time).
And thanks to the Awefully Chocolate birthday cake kindly donated by Endless.
Ms Huppy happily cutting the cake
My 2 good friends – Endless and CoffeeMilk J
(Ms Huppy think they should count themselves very lucky to know such a chio bu)
And the evening has yet to end.
Another 1st time
Ms Huppy was whipped off to St James Power Station and they partied till wee
hours in the morning and Ms Huppy ended up consciously drunk for the first time
after being challenged to bottom-up a Tequila Shot, Waterfall, Somboka, Long
Island Tea and Beer.
Before Ms Huppy could take advantage of her drunkedness to molest CoffeeMilk and
Endless, she was carried out by her “Face Black Black” Hubby after he received
an SOS call from her baby sister probably telling him that Ms Huppy displayed
Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde symptons
Needless to say, Ms Huppy had a bad handover the next day, puked like 5 times
and slept in the toilet.
Last Episode ~ On Ms Huppy birthday….
* Celebration with Lao Kong (Hubby)
Needless to say, the very special day was spent with her beloved hubby.
Ms Huppy’s the other half is really a sentimental person. Let’s just call him
Rock R. Though Rock R can be quite reserved and shy at times, probably
intimidated by Ms Huppy aggressive and demanding nature, he has never stopped
showering Ms Huppy with unconditional love.
Can u imagine in Ms Huppy 5 yrs of courtship + 7 yrs of marriage, Rock R has
never argued with her before? Couldn’t believe right? Ms Huppy couldn’t believe
as well. But it’s just the truth and nothing but the truth. FYI, Rock R is not
deaf and dumb.
Rock R has a gentle and patient spirit and the most incredible character he
possessed is that he has never spoken ill of anyone in front of Ms Huppy be
it whether it was his nasty boss or his big bully colleague.
Ok! Ms Huppy shall not brag too much about her hubby else she incur the wrath of
some fans who are probably her secret admirers (oops! Ms Huppy thought she kana
few rotten eggs liao).
On that fateful morning, despite taking leave, Ms Huppy was still busy
entertaining her colleagues and girlfriend and only managed to reach home at
4p.m.
Rock R was eagerly waiting at home for Ms Huppy.
The moment Ms Huppy slammed her body on the bed, she hit a hard object.
“Surprise! Surprise! darling!” and before Ms Huppy could react, her face was
plastered with many wet kisses. From underneath the bedsheet was a gift wrapped
in Robinsons wrapper.
Ms Huppy unwrapped the present and can’t help but grasp in surprise cos it was
her favorite body cream and toiletries set. And Rock R, knowing that Ms Huppy
loves variety, chose something that Ms Huppy has never tried before….. and its
from CLARINS!
Just sidetrack abit, for the last 6 months, Ms Huppy has been crazy about doing
layering i.e. cream + spray. Rock R, as usual, being very sensitive to Ms Huppy
needs, bought just the right gift as Ms Huppy is currently stocking up
“layering” set.
Next, being the considerate hubby, he patted Ms Huppy to sleep knowing that she
had a bad hangover the night before. Rock R promised to wake Ms Huppy up in 2
hrs time for the next surprise.
That night
Being a romantic person, Rock R was very secretive in not divulging the dinner
location and bragged that he did much research to finally decide to settle for
this very special place.
hmmmm….. what’s he’s up to?
Finally the secret is out when they arrived at Marina South Pier
Ms Huppy initially thought that she was going to the stadium.
This place definitely did not look very sexy to Ms Huppy, esp. with many
“man~ka~li” around.
Before Ms Huppy could protest, she was brought to the 2nd floor and a decent
frontage with sign “Pier Eleven” appeared.
Ms Huppy relaxed. As she walked in, she was impressed with the art pieces on the
wall and the artistic fixtures. But sadly, there were no diners.
Ms Huppy and Rock R made themselves comfortable at the outdoor area as it was
more romantic
Ms Huppy obviously chose the long cushioned bench with lots of pillows and
bolsters.
Below were various shots of the sexy and delighted Ms Huppy
That evening, they had raw marinated salmon, baby pork ribs, lobster pasta,
mediterrean seafood soup, mushroom room, lychee iced tea and mud pie dessert.
And for all the nice ambience and great food, it cost only $80!
After dinner, they strolled along the pier and spotted a floating restaurant –
Stewords Riverboat.
Below were more beautiful night scenary
Rock R never fails to impart peace and serenity to the “kan-chon-papaya” Ms
Huppy.
The night was lovely and tranquil.
Episode 4 ~ Well Wishes
For those who are still guessing when Ms Huppy birthday is? It is on Halloween
Night, Oct 31.
This year alone, Ms Huppy received 20 SMS-es birthday well wishes, 3 phone call
well wishes and 4 get-together celebrations.
As for gifts, Ms Huppy received a CLARINS layering set, a handbag, a pair of
earrings, a piano dedication, a bouquet of sunflowers, a set of handmade
bracelet and ear rings, perfume, a D&G red belt, a Stila lip gloss and a huge
hand drawn sketch of Ms Huppy
Guess which is Ms Huppy favorite gift?
huh? which one?
huh? hand drawn sketch?
huh? CLARINS?
huh? piano dedication?
Sorry…… it will remain a secret…..
And how old is Ms Huppy?
make a guess?
huh? 32?
huh? 26?
huh 19?
Again sorry hor….. it will be a secret…..

SHHHHHH……….
October 13, 2007 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged love, nest, retreat,
silent
….. …….. …… ……
……. …….. ……. ……..
…….. ……. …….. …….. ……..
……. ……. ……… ……….. …… ………..
*cough* *cough*
Ittt ittt beenn beenn a looong tiimme
*COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH*
(clearing my throat…. …..)
Sooooo sorry…… la……. i have not updated my blog for a while … I must have
disappointed many readers (Ms Huppy very thick-skin, like to “paste GOLD” on my
face)
For those who are wondering what happened to me???
FYI, I just returned from a Silent Retreat and are still getting used to
dispensing ABCs …..
Ms Huppy retreated to a “sh~uan teng” (mountain) and hid inside a shaolin
temple? or eloped with a deaf and dumb or simply that she lost her voice after
talking too much?
…… ……. …….
To cut all the craps, Ms Huppy spent 3 days holed up in a bungalow to reflect
about her life to-date….
All because for the last few weeks, Ms Huppy was behaving like Ms Weepy with a
“Sour Plum” face and occasionally wearing a”Kia~um-Pak” face.
It must be due to my erratic emotions…. highly possible….. after i fell trying
to attempt an inverted pole dance move. I knocked the side of my head
hard….and suffered a mild brain concussion though I bravely stood up smiling and
assuring the coach and other dancers that I was fine.
LESSON 1 ~ Dun read SMS before attempting dangerous moves
Anyway, after experiencing rollar coaster mood swings for many moons, Ms Huppy
decided to escape civilization.
I was delighted when a church friend told me to join her for a silent retreat
Basically, She told me that I simply need to bring my barang barang, go away to
another place to EAT, DRINK, SLEEP and REFLECT…..
BEST of all, I do not need to pay a single $$$, just donate freely…..
Ha Ha Ha, I have never 白吃白住 before so this must be the chance of a lifetime!!!!
Sound Shiok isn’t it?
Buming around doing nothing when everybody is running around sloughing….. and
its FOC!
Ms Huppy is a sucker for anything free….. I am not shy to confess that i am a
cheapo Chio Bu! and I got my personal bible on “101 ways to survive without $$”.
So off I went…..together with my hubby and another 3 church friends
TO
A BUNGLOW OFF THOMSON ROAD….
Phew! I was so relief that it was not a war torn haunted house off Lim Chu Kang
cemetry….
And Thank God that the house was simply breathtaking
And this place is called THE NEST, inspired by Psalm 84 in the bible.
LESSON 2 – It is a myth that good thing dun come cheap
DAY 1 at THE NEST
As I entered the compound, I was greeted by a pretty maid who ushered me into
the living room.
A whiteboard with the word “WELCOME” greeted us.
The place exuded warmth, peace and comfort….. my whole being simply relaxed the
moment I stepped into the place.
We were offered breakfast at the well furnished dining room.
Nicely arranged plate and cutlery
There were orange juice, cereal with milk and bread with jam, peanut butter and
homemade jam….
Yum Yum Yum
I thought the food was good enough but there were more surprises
After breakfast, we gathered for a short briefing and each was given a book to
jot down our reflections and thoughts for the next few days.
I picked my favourite RED and was pleasantly surprised to see the word “LOVE” on
it. The book was specially made by our group leader, Pastor Alice. She is such a
loving and kind woman
On the first page, there was a quote from one of my idols, Mother Teresa…
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them”
Wow! there’s profound. I think God is talking to Ms Huppy about LOVE
Other books had Grace, Peace, Joy and Faith on it.
We were ushered to our room on the 2nd level.
The room was small but cozy with sufficient sunlight and greenary when i looked
out of the window.
And on the table, a candlelight holder full of LOVES! and a LOVE letter from
Jesus!!!
I felt so loved! I must be deprived of love lately…. or have I not dispensed
enough LOVE to others lately?
Each room has a different message and different candle holder so Ms Huppy
instantly knew that I am here to experience LOVE
After settling down, all of us gathered at the Chapel to begin our REFLECTION.
The chapel. Floor cushions for meditating
Did you notice the book shelves on the sides?
Stained glass depicting The Cross
Relaxation corner in the chapel
After reflecting on a biblical message for half an hour, there was a group
sharing session followed by lunch!
“cia peng liao!!!” and we had crabmeat sausage fried rice with veg, soup and
sambal fish… and homemade bread
Ms Huppy goggled 3 full bowls of rice cos’ the food was simply delicious. All of
us were like just released from a long fast. And of course, we maintained our
silence except for the occasion burps of satisfaction
As this is a self cleaning kitchen, we washed, soaked and dried our plates.
Then it was 3 hours of ZZZZ…..
Ms Huppy slept like a little baby….
At 3:30p.m. we gathered to do “An Awareness Walk”….
We simply walked around the house to pick an object, an art, a phrase or
anything that caught our attention.
This was really my chance to “tour” this place.
I discovered several interesting and meaning objects…..
An ancient grandfather clock that made noise every half and hour
BLESS OUR NEST picture
PSALM 84 – the bible passage where the name of the retreat centre was inspired
from
Psalm 46:10 “Be Still and Know that I am God”
This message spoke to me.
1 Cor 16:13 “Be on your GUARD, Stand firm in the FAITH, Be COURAGEOUS, Be
STRONG.”
This rock inspired me
Harley Davidson Motorbike and Vinatage car models
I understand from my friend that the owner of this house, a Reverand in church
is an avid Harley Davidson bike fan and rode a Harley Bike…. wooo eee…. so
happening!
But sad to say, I did not get a chance to see his Chio bike
Stairway lined with many pictures
These few picture frames of different hand gestures warmth my heart
This piece of stained glass about PEACE (as depicted by the Dove), embracing
hands and Word of God (bible) enlightened me.
The 2nd floor living area. The staircase led to the Chapel and behind the white
wall was our rooms.
I sat on the Victorian sofa and mediated on those objects that inspired me. We
journaled down our insights in our personal book and we proceeded to dinner.
Dinner was Spaghetti with tuna fish, homemade bread, mushroom soup and salads
It was so tasty that Ms Huppy took 2 bowl of soups and 2 plates of spaghetti….
totally oblivious to my original intention of coming here to slim down…..
AND
Did I mention that we had 2 tea time in a day?
AND THAT
We were served homemade MUFFINS and homemade CHOCOLATE NUT COOKIES!!!
AND
TOO BAD THAT
I finished all the food before I remembered that I should take a photo of them
On Day 1, we retired at 9p.m. after a hot shower…..
Nice bathroom
Ms Huppy tossed and turned the entire night and had many funny dreams cos’ slept
too much in the day
DAY 2 at THE NEST
Ms Huppy woke up at 7a.m., took a shower and was back to the chapel meditating.
Breakfast followed at 8:30a.m.
We did “Lectio Divina” on a biblical message for 1 1/2 hours.
LECTIO DIVINA is a form of slow, contemplative prayer of the scriptures which
enables the word of God, to become a means of union with God. It begins with
cultivating the ability to listen deeply, to hear “with the ear of our hearts”.
It also enables us to discover in our daily life an underlying spiritual rhythm.
Tea followed.
Then Relection time again.
It was all peaceful and relaxing and mind relieving.
And LUNCH! (I think this is my favourite time ;p)
We had porridge with veg, sambal fish and chicken liver…
These were food that Ms Huppy dun eat and dislike normally but the cooking was
so supreme that I took all the dishes and 2 bowls of porridge…
Die la….. sure fat fat….:(
After volunteering to wash the plates and cutery for everyone (trying to
compensate for overeating), I decided to take a stroll in the garden compound.
Koi Pond with beautiful koi fish
Resting Area
BBQ Area
Ms Huppy’s exercise area (for stretching my limbs)
The Wooden Swing
A basketball court
Whenever Ms Huppy walked passed the basketball court, it reminded her of a close
friend who is a real good basketballer. One day, she probably asked him to bring
her to the court to thrown a few balls
Nice garden isn’t it?
After admiring the nature and singing praises to God, Ms Huppy went back to take
a nap.
The rest of the day was spent KLKK (Kian lai Kian ki)or KKKL (Kian ki Kian Low).
For dinner, we had roasted chicken with homemade bread, mushroom soup and salads
We rested at 9p.m. and Ms Huppy, as usual, tossed and turned and had many weird
dreams.
Day 3 at THE NEST
This is the last day of our retreat and Ms Huppy was really missing the yummy
food.
Sigh….. I really dun mind returning for the food…. paiseh to say.
Though I really enjoyed the reflection, the place… the most memorable for me is
still the FOOD!!
That morning, the host made waffles for us. I took orange juice and cranberry
juice.
We broke silence at about 11a.m. and shared our experience for the past 3 days.
All of us were so thankful to be here. We had total rest and peace for the last
3 days without disturbance and no communication with the outside world as there
were no TV and no communciation devices.
Lunch was spaghetti with beef bolognese, salad, homemade bread and juices
Ms Huppy managed to take some pictures of the food.
Spaghetti
Did you see the homemade bread and salads?
Homemade Beef Bolognese
Mushroom soup anyone?
Before we depart, we thanked our host, Michelle with a personal drawn thank U
card by the group. Our leader, Alice presented the card to her.
We also pulled together a love gift for her. Ms Huppy gave $400.
Alice (left) and Michelle, the host
We left THE NEST at 1:30p.m.
Unfortunately, the moment Ms Huppy ON her mobile, she received many SMS and
missed calls which sent her heart pumping very fast.
And also 5 funeral wakes notification
But thankfully, Ms Huppy was able to compose herself.
LESSON 3 ~ The trick to maintain rest and peace after a silent retreat is simply
to resume your life at a slow pace.
That day, I went for a manicure , pedicure and spa and attended 2 wakes.
AFTERMATH ~ Wisdom from Ms Huppy
* Do not just LOVE but LOVE with joy.
* Be CONTENTED. Count our blessings and not our lack.
* There will be troubles and problems in our life but these hard knocks will
build your character if you learnt to overcome them.
* You may not have the BEST in life but you can always make the BEST out of
your life.
* Happiness is not a wish nor a hope but a personal choice.
* Simplicity is the mother of contentment.
* Resting does not mean resignation nor idleness. It is to work from a place of
rest, not towards a place of rest.
* Where your treasure is, there’s where your heart is.
Ms Huppy wish all her fans and readers HAPPINESS, LOVE, JOY and PEACE in life
Happy Tip No. 19 ~ Embrace Silence. Find Love & Inner Peace
About THE NEST
THE NEST was a blessing from Rev. Chris and Wife, Michelle who sacrifically gave
up 3/4 of their house for Christians who wish to embark on a silent retreat to
commune with Lord Jesus Christ. The family of 6 now stayed at the garage
converted home behind the bungalow. Staying in THE NEST is free of charge and
all the daily 5 meals are provided. However, Christians are free to give “love
gifts” as a form of appreciation.
Interested to stay at THE NEST? just drop Ms Huppy a note and I will give you
the contact details

THE STORY OF MS. WHITE & MR. BLACK
August 12, 2007 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged cafe, greenroom, treetops,
trekking
Today is Sunday, 12 Aug 2007.
Ms. Huppy woke up on the wrong side of the bed and found 4 red zits on her
pretty and smooth face
It was worse than Nightmare on Elm Street!
To make matter worse, Ms Huppy got a hearful from her mum-in-law who grumbled
all the way to church about the possible suspects who may have stolen her $500 ,
in stack of $10-dollars notes tucked nicely in a pocket of a skirt hidden neatly
in-between her pile of clothes in the cupboard
God knows in this time and age, you still wonder why people can be so gullible
as to believe in magical stones and needles-filled eggs?? But after learning how
my mum-in-law hid her $$, i am no longer surprise.
Mid-day, while Ms. Huppy was in the hair salon trying frantically to style her
hair so that it covered the zits, she got an SMS from a very good friend telling
her that HIS best friend died in an accident while riding his sports bike
At night, Ms Huppy found that her Favourite Vitagen drink was secretly consumed…
and that’s the one with Collegen and which she hid carefully behind many yogurt
bottles in the fridge
Let’s not talk about the mummified Ms Huppy from top to toe in cold white mask
just to get rid of the 4 zits on her face and possible future zits on her body.
The residue of the white mask was the highly possible suspect that clogged her
sink
Bad news! Bad news!
Let’s not talk about Ms Huppy bad experiences.
Let me share with you an interesting story.
Title: The Adventure of Ms. White & Mr. Black
Dedication: To my very good friend whose friend died in a motorbike accident
The Story:
Many many moons ago, there lived a little snowwhite-colored angelic mice called
Ms. White. Ms. White stayed in a beautiful townhouse with a nice little
garden. Ms. White was never short of admirers and suitors. Unfortunately, they
have yet to make a deep impression in Ms. White.
Among these admirers, there was a mean-looking wild boar called Mr. Black.
Contrary to what most of us imagine a wild boar would look like, Mr. Black was
skinny like Etopia kid.
Fortunately, Ms. White has a good impression of Mr. Black because he was a
simple, humble and childlike animal despite his hideous outlook.
One day, after much coaxing, Ms. White agreed to visit Mr. Black homeland~
TiTOTO forest in KIKI island.
Ms. White convinced herself to give Mr. Black a chance to display his manly
charms. Most importantly, Mr. Black vowed to protect Ms. White from all harms.
As both of them were vegetarian, they decided to meet for lunch at the Green
Room Cafe located North of KiKi Island.

Nice surroundings at Greenroom cafe
The first impression of Mr. Black was minus 10 pts when he made Ms. White wait
for a full 20 mins.
Ms. White squeaked angrily for 5 mins before ordering food. Of course, not
without telling Mr. Black to pay for lunch.
Mr. Black, as usual, pretended nothing happen but secretly cursed and sweared
under his breath.
The food served was all organic. Mr. Black snorted strawberry mixed with orange
juice and chewy carrot noodle while Ms. White took chilli hot wheat and avocado
soymilk. The conversation went well with Ms. White spending most of the time
squeaking away and Mr. Black half listening and half day-dreaming.
The meal cost a dear 50 gold coins. Worse of all, Mr. Black got fined another 50
gold coins for leaving his portable pig sty along the pathway.
The dainty Ms. White was full of empathy but decided to act blur in case the
stingy Mr. Black wanted her to pay part of the fine.
Both Mr. Black and Ms. White were ready to set off to the mystical TiTOTO
forest.
The time for a memorable adventure has begun!
The road into TiTOTO forest, a long and winding trek few can survived…… (wonder
what this Mr. Black was up to???)
Nice greenery
A river filled with stick-like insects…..
The demure Ms. White nearly faint when she saw those eerie-looking insects.
“oooooo—eeee—-ooooooo”
“OOOOO—-EEEE—OOOO”
STUMPED!!!
Suddenly, Mr. Black and Mr. White saw a tree fell in front of their eyes and
both concluded that TARZEN must be the culpit because lately they heard that he
put on 500 pounds and every tree he hung on simply couldn’t contain his weight.
Poor tree
As they moved along the riverbank, they came across some humans…..
They saw a furry alien staring at them…….
Upon closer look……
They discovered that its their enemy!!!! and both ran for their dear lives!!!!!
Of course, Mr. Black ran faster and left Ms. White far far behind…..
For that inconsiderate act, the good impression of Mr. Black took a further
blunt of minus 20 pts and Ms. White was very doubtful whether Mr. Black can
honor his promise.
What a rare sight!! a hanging bamboo tree
As both animals trekked and chatted, Ms. White spotted some tiny creatures.
A Jumping Cricket?
Giant Ant!
The road was remote.
Ms. White was worried……:(
She started to panic as she realised that she did not know Mr. Black that well.
Many negative thoughts crossed her mind…
What if he was a wolf in pig skin?
What if he robbed me?
What if he abandoned me when there were predators?
What if?….
What if?….
“Are you alright?” Mr. Black asked
“Oh! I am fine…..hmmm…. just a bit tired…” Ms. White replied.
“Do you want to rest? Mr. Black was concerned
“Never mind, let’s continue the journey….” Ms. White attempted to be cooperative
in case she incurred the wrath of Mr. Black.
Blair-witch project look-alike…..
Ms. White thought she saw her savior when she reached the RANGER station but no
one was in sight.
As Ms. White trekked under the super hot SUN without her SPF 50 sun screen, she
felt her skin burning.
Then, as she looked ahead, she saw a hanging overhead bridge
The Bridge
Overhead bridge with breathtaking views
Ms White was so amazed by the beautiful scenaries that all her fears and worries
were swept away instantly. She paced the bridge with much awe and admiration for
the mother nature.
The fascinating views as they crossed the bridge
“It’s so beautiful!! Thanks for bringing me to such a wonderful place!” Ms.
White turned around and was about to embrace Mr. Black with a big hug when she
saw him PALE in the face….
“eee…..yaa….eee….yaa…. i…i…. love the views but I go..gott..got hei….ght
pho…bia” stammered Mr. Black while holding onto the railings of the bridge for
his dear life.
Another 30 pts off.
Ms White was very sure that She needed to protect Mr. Black instead.
“Poor pig…” Ms. White thought to herself, wondering why wild boar staying in the
wilderness will be afraid of heights when most of the time they ran up and down
the mountains.
When Mr. Black saw the staircase. It must have thought that it was the stairway
to heaven as he just went through HELL.
Stairway to heaven
After the stairway, its the pathway
Along the way, Ms. White and Mr. Black found some interesting mushroom looking
vegetation.
Thin-crusted dried mushroom??
Flower mushrooms or toadstools?
Dried mushroom or Lingzhi??
Wow! stairways and more stairways!!
Insightful footprints
Hooks-like plants
Colorful plants
It’s near sunset and Ms. White and Mr. Black chatted and strolled happily
together. Slowly, the chemistry was developing. Thanks to Ms. White
forgetfulness and Mr. Black lucky or not lucky charm.
“swish swish….”
“swish…swish..”
“What’s that sound? Ms White squeaked.
“Look there! It’s a baby dino” Mr. Black yelped.
“Let’s run for our lives!!!” and off dash Mr. Black….. again leaving Ms. White
far far behind.
Obviously, apart from being timid, Mr. Black lacked IQ and EQ.
Minus 40 pts
Luckily, the creature was frightend by Mr. Black sudden loud burst and it
scrumbled off hastily and clumsily.
By now, Ms. White was pretty sure that Mr. Black was not the man of her dream.
They continued their journey and came across some interesting finds.
Weird looking coiling plant
Pretty blossoms
Corn-shaped plant
And finally Mr. Black and Ms. White came to the end of the journey…. Both of
them were panting and beads of water were seen dripping down their foreheads.
Mr. Black, though low in IQ and EQ, seem to have good 6th sense that Ms. White
was not quite impressed with him.
With a last attempt, he told Ms. White that he knew where to find the “King
Kongs”….
Ms White, being inquisitive, was excited by Mr. Black’s “offer”….
Off! they dashed to another island next to TiTOTO forest… the MOMON land
And they did see many “King Kongs”….. but the minature ones.
The King Kongs in MOMON island
Ms. White was contented and happy.
Despite -100 (gone case!) Mr. Black got, Ms. White applauded him for his gutsy
behavior i.e. to venture beyond his fears.
Ms. White has decided to retain Mr. Black in the potential list.
Mr. Black….. as usual…. decided to be himself.
This is the end of the story of Ms. White and Mr. Black
Interesting??
