Rediscover London

9 Feb

Hello everyone! How are you in this lovely February?

Eryn London b

In order not to bored you with too much of my pregnancy story :) , I’ve decided to share with you my London experience during my great round-the-globe trip! It was such a beautiful trip that has filled my life with many fond memories…

I remembered we flew from Amsterdam and landed in London on a chilly day. While waiting to get off the plane, I think I could still smell tulips’ fragrance that was left on my luggages. It was such a pleasant flight…Eryn London 2

The first stop: Selfridges! Kelvin bagged in a very very special anniversary gift for me :)

My brother who was staying there then, brought us around. (Don’t ask me why we don’t look alike… :P )

Believe me, it was super-duper cold that day. In order to prove the theory right, I removed my coat and took this picture.

“2 creatures in the world that’s not afraid of cold –

(1) Penguins, (2) Women.”

We went for some really great coffee.

Eryn London 28Too much PDA (Public Display Affection) I know… But I guess it’s okay in London :)

Eryn London 29Highlight of the trip to Mr. Kelvin Ong – Squirrel-feeding time!! He went Hyde park for this reason 2 days in a row!

Eryn London 30Cute right? His name is Kelvin.

The story goes like this: Kelvin was trying to “lure” the squirrel out at the grass and not a single one appeared. Then I was too tired and resting at one of the bench while waiting for him. Then this little squirrel appeared in front of me, and I quickly called Kelvin “Kelvin! Here’s one!”. When the squirrel heard me yelling, he ran towards me and stopped at my feet. I called Kelvin again “Kelvin! Come quick!”. Then the squirrel climbed up the bench as if he is acknowledging his name is “Kelvin”. “Dear squirrel, I wasn’t calling you, is your name Kelvin?” He stood there and have no intention to move away. “So your name is Kelvin huh!”. Then my Kelvin came and start feeding him, Kelvin the squirrel :)

Eryn London 31The last stop was to the Queen’s residence at Buckingham Palace. It was starting to get dark and I am sorry that I have no quality pictures to show here. There are too much to talk about and I think I shall leave it till next time :)

London is the last stop of my great voyage it marked a beautiful finale to my round-the-globe-trip. We spent more time exploring this city and indulged in its unique class and beauty. Thank you London for all the good food, good coffee, good people and beautiful beautiful memories…

Thank you for reading and hopefully you’ll find London as beautiful as I describe here :)

XOXO Eryn

October {Update}

3 Oct

Finally, October arrived in such a fashionable way!
We are now entering the last quarter of 2012.

Aren’t you excited?

I have been receiving messages from friends asking what I’ve been up to? Well, just to update on my life… I have been busy with work!

Lots of new projects coming up, which includes new series of products, marketing campaign, my new online shop project (*excited!!!*) and a few meetings here and there.

I’ll be flying off with Kelvin to Hong Kong for a meeting this coming weekend and hopefully will be able to catch up with friends and do some shopping! Then I’ll be going to another meeting in Indonesia during midweek for some new regulation briefings. And when I got back from Indonesia, it’d be the FMM Dinner where I’ll be making a special appearance!! (*Nervous*) Then after that will be the grand Anugerah event in KLCC where we got to meet with PM Najib. And hopefully I can share with him what I think about the national budget 2012…

Phew… I feel so excited for an eventful October filled with awesome plans… Sometimes I feel like I am living a dream :) Although I hardly have time to sleep! I have 30 more goodie bags to pack for the upcoming Kiwanis dinner… Though it’s tiring, but I can imagine how happy the kids will be…, and not to mention about my luggage… :o

A lot of time, I was asked, why am I doing what I am doing now? For what? (e.g. blogging at 1 a.m. in the morning while everyone else is asleep, and keep doing it for a year, for free… and get nothing in return…). Here’s my answer, I want to remember that no one is going to make my dreams come true for me. It is my job to get up every day and work toward the things that are deepest in my heart, and to enjoy every step of the journey rather than wishing I was already where I want to end up.

Well, that’s all for today. Hopefully it gives you a good idea of what I have been up to and if I didn’t update my blog for the next week, you’ll know why :)

“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” ―Marilyn Monroe

Let’s have a passionate and beautiful life together!

Cheers~

Orbit Revolving Restaurant [SKY TOWER]

5 Sep

I have come to notice that one of the popular search engine term that links to my blog is “Orbit“. So I thought maybe many of you out there might wanna find out more about the dining experience at Orbit revolving restaurant in Auckland :) Here’s a little review of my personal experience at Sky tower. As the tallest tower in southern hemisphere, Sky Tower definitely has the very best views of Auckland city.

Admission to the Sky Tower’s Main Observation is complimentary for Orbit guests 45 minutes prior to dining and/or upon completion of dining. So, we went to the observatory deck before the dinner.

You can see through the “glass floor” and scare yourself… Kekeke… Or you can join our friend Chris who jumped on it to test out the reliability of the material \”o”/


Admiring the magnificent view~

Then we headed to ‘ORBIT’, the 360º revolving restaurant to enjoy our “meals at the height of luxury” (Muahahaha, I felt so exclusive already… kekeke)

The restaurant takes one hour to completely revolve 360º, and the rotation is hardly noticeable. The waiter reminds us not to leave our bag or camera on the floor by the window next to the table. Because the table will slowly move and you might leave your belongings behind! Then I keep looking at the edge and see if any Chanel handbags floats by… (kidding)

The food is great! It definitely matches the height :)

Pardon me as I don’t remember what I ordered just by looking at the picture. But every dishes we ordered was devine.

If you wanna find out the price, it averages as below:

Starter $20

Main $38

Side $5

Dessert $16

A minimum $40 per person is required though.

If you notice something “blinking” fly past you outside the window as you enjoy your wine, don’t blame it on the wine, it really is someone flying past you, doing a ‘Sky Jump’!

 Our great companies of the night :D Hopefully it gives you an idea of the overall dining experience.  I personally enjoyed it very much and find it a MUST DO when you are in Auckland city. For reservation and more information, click here.
