Last I went to Labuan was 14 years ago. Four freaking teen years ago. Or so I think, could be longer. To think I stay just about 3 hours ferry ride from Labuan, and have not been there in ages is kind of funny. And because of that, I actually didn't remember much about Labuan :(  So last week, Michelle, Ingrid, Yen Ling and I decided on an impromptu trip. Just cause.  Labuan is a very small

Met with so many people this month. In the midst of all, I was worried I could no longer keep tabs of their significance in my life. And I do not like that. I like to put some sort of gravity on the person that I've met, may it be strangers or colleagues. Whether I've had a minute or two of experience with them, or I've worked closely with them before this, they should hold some sort of

Most twisted, but also the most beautiful thing about a big organization is that you passed through so many different people everyday. But if you take the time, to embrace the individualism in the ones that you've passed, you will find yourself an amazing view of the frictions between these two. And the beauty of it all is when you decide to make an exception from the big organization's rule.

On the first day of CNY last two Mondays ago, I came to work to take photos of the celebration in the hotel during it's first CNY celebration. Mind you, this is a common thing. Coming to work on a public holiday is a common thing in the hotel industry, in fact we are the busiest during public holidays for well, obvious reasons. When you're on a break, we will serve you instead :) So as I was

"Plop"  "Ok done!!" We looked at the time in indifference. It was already 9pm, and the eggs were getting cold. That's possibly the seventh pot we cooked that night. Sister was really hungry, my brother and I looked at each other, trying to telepathically send a message that chances are for the rice to get burned this time again, is equally the same with the previous six times.  His head popped

I was doing my copywriting for Valentine's, and was cracking my head on what to illustrate to the lovebirds and people who pay tribute to love and togetherness out there, to kinda assist me with the copy. I browsed through countless of love songs, unfortunately, to me, most love songs are vague, yet exaggerated at the same time. Most do not have any human element in it, unrealistic another. Which

Posting up stuff at 1.50pm on a Tuesday noon, because I can :) Here are some pictures I finally get to dig out from Facebook, and share with you. After 6 years of celebrating Christmas and immediately packing over, last year, I finally get to stretch my legs on the sofa, devour some Christmas cookies and listen to old school Christmas songs till its' 12th day, and just take my time to soak up

This new life, however I felt and embrace is evidently different from the previous. I've met a couple of people that have taken the words right out of my mouth; that change is good. And it has. Change has been really good to me so far. So good, that I quite like this solo life of mine because I have some sort of control over it while still making the most out of things.

Moving around, experiencing things, watching and learning gives me a sense of freedom and peace that I will never be able to pen down. But, this article is beautifully well written, it almost felt like it copied my thoughts, my sentiments and most importantly my fears. So here I am sharing you, what most travellers or travelling lovers think about the most.  A Place to Lay my Heart - Elisabeth

Whenever someone asks me about Seoul, I am brought back to this one particular scene; 6 adults squeezed together in a really small table, a square table has somehow shaped us to a circle, edges blurred, knees touching, where none of us were Korean, a series of “odd-looking” foods were slowly introduced to the table, the giggling of the Thai girls at the sight of the moving, living octopus were

A couple of months ago I read, possibly, the most beautiful book I've ever read in my entire life - and that it has changed my life tremendously, and positively :) There were 5 lessons. Just 5 lessons, from the people from Eddie's previous life to tell him what life is (was) really all about. That thing we can never put our finger on. While each chapter represents a certain "lesson", those

Last year, all four of us BFFs (Audrey, Swee Wei and Kerry) decided to go on an all girls trip. This was planned last year across the Malaysia Day holiday.  At Mong Kok train station Somewhere fun and exciting and I guess somewhere where no one would know us with a mission to go a little crazy maybe and explore exciting places together. Before the trip, we met up to discuss on a possible

I love talking to my brother. Especially about his life as a doctor. It makes everything I worry about seem SO PATHETIC compare to what he sees and experiences. Nothing like the eyes, the heart and the conscience of a doctor. I used to envy his intelligence, his courage to pick a road less traveled but now I just admire him. Why do you always wake up early in the morning at 5AM? Even during the

Picture of an article written by a guy from Kajang about Sabah being the exemplary state for the "1Malaysia" idea circulating on Facebook inspired me to share this with you. Firstly, I have my own understanding of what 1Malaysia is. And this dude's letter comes close to mine. I find it difficult to remove it from our system the feeling of pride when you're from a place where you were born and

I realised I've been far off from being personal nowadays. The blog's been talking so much about my trips, my Facebook is hardly updated, and don't even start on Twitter. It's probably cobwebbed by now. I have never been good with sharing personal information in a compact form, I feel naked. The idea of summarizing something personal or as close as what you're doing at the moment is usually odd

Location Room 707, 7/F Sincere House, 83 Argyle St, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.  Hong Kong is very notorious for its small compact places. Imagine, a normal studio apartment we are familiar with can be broken down to about 20 rooms. 20 rooms! They have the smallest, tiniest facilities to go along with this development. A sink as small as your 15 inch laptop is skilfully placed and

I’m sure almost all of you have visited Thailand, its islands or its cities. I love Thailand. I think it has an amazing personality as a country. Great people (no wonder it’s called Land of Smiles), everything is richly infused by Buddhism and in this case, I’d have to agree that it has gorgeous beaches. Krabi (like Kota Kinabalu) is the city that connects everyone to its gorgeous beaches using

Here's the lo-down; Last October my bestfriends and I bought tickets to Hong Kong and Macau just for the heck of it. So we planned it across the Malaysia Day holiday. But because I left my job way earlier than this trip,

It's been a while since I've actually sat down, breeze through and embrace you. I've just spent at least 3 hours cleaning my old, and new home alone. And now, I'm seated comfortably at one of my favourite spot, right under my house's only air-conditioner where it's blowing shyly at me while massive TV infront playing Grey's Anatomy. I hate this show. It speaks so much of what you've been

Two weeks ago, my sister and I decided to jump on an impromptu trip to the Perhentian Islands equipped with nothing but our backpacks. And of course I did a little bit of homework prior to our trip. Perhentian Islands are situated at east coast of west Malaysia, rightfully belong to Terengganu. The gorgeous islands are divided to two; Perhentian Kecil (Small) and Perhentian Besar (Big). These

Having to travel a little bit (even the nearest) amplifies all my senses. Throw yourself in an 8 hours of a moving bus, then onto a boat where you’re half a tourist half a local (and enjoying the privilege of understanding a little bit of what jokes they crack) move on to finding a chalet in wee hours in the morning (while you’re still half asleep) there’s something about being surprised and

I was away last week for an impromptu trip to Perhentian (which was all kinds of gorgeous) and Penang and I'm bad with technology so it's almost impossible to catch me online or see me updating anything about everywhere.

Everyone has their own "thing". Some people's thing is their music, some their dogs, some their business, some their friends, some their fashion sense. A thing that is so close to them. Mine, well, my thing is obviously my family. I put them first whenever I can. Today's my beautiful sister Jessica's birthday! My longest bestfriend, my longest partner in crime. And I'm cooking for her tonight!

Today’s inspiration; "Most important, the feeling. You listen."It is a snippet from this video called ‘Learn’ which I truly believed is going viral now, though it doesn't need any introduction.  Suddenly, I feel uplifted. Suddenly, I don’t feel like depending on anyone or anything, suddenly, I feel there is a need to embrace everything around me instead of just one thing, one person, one place.

My life flashed by my eyes last two Saturday night. I thought I was going to die. No seriously. ...that’s how insane the mosh was for Incubus. It was awesome.  Grew up picking up on big brother’s taste in music, and one of them was Incubus, because he was playing their music everyday from morning till evening.

Being in this industry, you'd get invited to all sorts of events and parties. Alcohol-related events being one of them. The office gets the invite for it all the time, so if my time and that event's time permits I usually don't hesitate in saying yes;cause it's like a free hangout and almost all my close friends like casual drinking so what I'd do is that I'd invite them to meet up with me! :)

I love the brown buttoned-up shirt, collars popped, sleeves half pulled up (a simple colour) complimented with a thick, beady, gold necklace. Partitioned by a brown belt, neated boldly in front, with an army green

Anyone, or anyone's friends interested please let me know! :) Email me at jacqkielyn@yahoo.comThere is another music festival coming up and this time, it’s locally produced. The performers on the other hand will be coming from all over the world,

It is so hard to force-vomit yourself with words and inspirations online, when you think there hasn't be anything interesting going on in your life... We all know that's bullshit. 'Cause there's always something interesting going on in my life - forgotten or unwritten. So I'll make it a practice to update "something" based on a picture I chose. Any picture, could be a picture of a cat lazily

Don't you hate it when you keep chanting to yourself to 'sleep early tonight, and get a much deserved rest' when the next thing you know - bright early in the morning you are brutally harassing the snooze button for at least a good one hour to 'compensate some rest' cause you slept, say at 2am before that night. You know, 'cause the time just went by like that. Been quite occupied with a lot of

I do, I really do. I hate that a lot of the stuff are doubled the usual price. I hate that the restaurants have this menu called 'The Love Menu'. I hate that suddenly all charity organisations jump into the bandwagon of charging flowers triple or quadruple the normal price. I hate that suddenly all the singles get all defensive, when I ask daily things after work like, "so what's the plan" - they

When dad passed on when I was 10, I remembered being so fearful of a lot of things in my life. About mum, about brother who at that time was having a really tough time accepting his passing on, about sister who was still such a baby then, about house – on who's going to take care of us, about having a male figure to protect us, and most importantly about being financially stable and for the three

Dear friends, If you’re a massive indie music fan like me, and love free-spirited concerts; and if you had to choose to go to just one concert in a year (if you really have to). Laneway Festival is where your money should be at. The deets: January 29, Saturday at Fort Canning Park. Four simple reasons why:1. It cost around 100SGD, about RM200 for a 10 hours concert. See that’s about RM20

I don’t know when I will fall out of love from this exhilarating sensation of racing against time, packing up, sleepless nights and of torn green backpack. The whole idea of travelling is sometimes deemed as a total disconnection from well, “the rest”. Am I happy working hard, earning, and then spending on moving around? Yes. Leaves me breathless whenever I’m back in the office, grasping for

Life has all kinds of people. The safe, the brave, the mediocre.I'd like to think I fall under the mediocre. Pathetic isn't it, succumbing to life's gravity.

Last year, I attended a string of Nuffnang events. All kinds of it, the glitzy, the sweaty, the outdoorsy. Online communities though may look the coolest, at times we find it the hardest to mingle around.

This my dear friends is what you call an obligatory year end post. Something that you have absolutely no time to squeeze into your to do list, but kind of necessary because well, it’s kind of prepostorous not to recap whatever happened to your life in a year. That would mean, to summarize as a whole of whatever happened to you in about, 365 days of your life last year. Not quite impossible. I

Not exactly per se, but the gist of it; #1I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work so I called him at home and then he e-mailed me to my Blackberry and so I texted to his cell and then he e-mailed me to my home account and the whole thing just got out of control.

During previous years, when I was celebrating to usher the new year, I had the greatest feelings that life has this stretch of endless possibilities, so many things to look forward to, so many things to try the waters to. This year's however felt different. Maybe cause it hasn't kicked into my system yet - but this year's welcoming felt like, a familiar book. A feeling that tells me that there

I have never been on a ship before. The idea of travelling around on water never really sparked interest to me, I’m thinking what contentment could it bring? The only thing you’d be looking out is an infinite shades of blue, stretch of grey skies. Being the last minute traveller that I am (never been proud of this) I began packing only the night before. Okay, make that 3am the morning before I

Sometimes I wonder why hanging out with boys seem a lot more easier than hanging out with some girls. Some girls are often twisted and emotionally unstable. They're like lose cannons, and they have all kinds of hidden motives. They write and say things cryptically. They pack in groups. Best part, I know I'm just about the same but figuratively, positive and positive don't usually go the best.

When you put a bunch of adrenaline rush junkies in a VIP area where all you meet are (what seemed like) a bunch of famous people, mix it with the free flow of alcohol concoctions, sweet ones I might add, jumble them up with drop dead gorgeous urbanites equipped with their absolute love for parties and socialising - you get, a pretty much scandalous night. Think plenty of upskirts, and you're not

I love unconventional love stories.The oddities are hilarious, but most touching.Why do most people run from things that are strange and foreign to them, and not choose to learn and love them?Love & peace, Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

How does 4,000 club goers dancing to bright lights while jiving to Kardinal Offishal, Da Mouth, DJ Alex Dreamz, Mizz Nina, Deja Voodoo Spells & FoulWorks, Ms. Eva T and with the best concoction of drinks in your hand sounds like?Sounds like Hennessy Artisry biggest bash of the year to me!No I'm serious.

Kent promised to meet up with me for lunch but after almost an hour or so waiting alone - I realised I was (instinctively) drawn to all my theatrical skills that I learned back in Uni when I'm alone, observing. They were, 1. Describing live characters in detail (usually the ones that attract me the most) 2. Listening attentively to conversations around me 3. Basically then create my own drama

Slept at 4am today for Audrey's birthday :) - not the worst kind of days I've had, trust me. Reached home at 7am once, and left for something else at 8am - and only came back at about 9PM. Wellll....... that's another thing. After that, woke up at about 9am for some work, and then head to Church. Reach home feeling deflated, with some uneasy feeling in my stomach, watched My Sister's Keeper

I'm a firm believer of the statement that you can be sexy even without showing much. Fact is, even with this entry when I needed to support this post with some skin showing pictures - I could hardly find any of "skin showing pictures" of mine :(Besides just showing,1. The customary neck skin2. Forearm skin for wearing errr, just short sleeves3. Abiiiiiiiiiiiiiit of cleavage (I used to wear really

I'm in a dilemma.Two people (baby Jessica and baby Daren) I love so much would kill me, if I would tell them that I got the tickets to another awesome concert. Yes, friends and foes ;Tune Talk mobile prepaid presents PARAMORE live in Kuala Lumpur!Some little birdie told me that Fernandez is gonna be like Branson, where Tune Talk will be opening their own studio records! I don't know how far true

Here's what happened during the last Hennessy Artistry;BFF Justin went on stage, half drunked - he danced and pranced with MC Flizzow. And we couldn't find him after that, and what happened then onwards was er, uncertain. Next morning, we received a message saying that he is at home safe and sound, and that his phone broke into 6. Six? It was a crazy night alright.I love Hennessy Artistry's

Murakami argued that everything happens after dark.Love, sex, drugs, party... well life at it's treacherous.At this tender age of 22, I couldn't help but agree to that more. While the worst of the days (as we always presume) begin in the morning, I realised all the reasons that could possibly compliment this arguement whereby until we lead a more balance lifestyle with the right daily dose of

First DayI love travelling logs.I love looking at pictures of different people, cultures, food, colours. There are so many things about travel logs that speak volume of what or how the place really is. To me, travel logs and discovery programs are the best.I bought tickets to Jakarta to travel during the Merdeka weekend not knowing how my workload’s going to be or what will happen at Jakarta when

Remember the saying that a picture tells a thousand words and that no caption sometimes can bring justice to describe a moment? It brings joy to my heart when I see a tagged photo of me in this after a long day of work :)This exactly.I love all of you. My good friend once told me that my family will be the death of me. I paused, inhaled and exhaled. Told him... that I wholeheartedly agree so and

My housemate wants to house arrest me this weekend. They told me that contrary to normal practice, I maximize/optimize my weekend the most. Not once have they actually saw me sleeping in on Saturdays and Sundays and this particularly scares them.First of all, they're exaggerating. But to a certain extend their point is, weekends are the worst for me. Been having lack of sleep these couple of
