Yes, they are the famous Robert Indiana's Love Sculptures.

If you do a quick wiki search on Robert Indiana , you will be able to find his extensive works since the early '50s. And of course, the most popular being the Love logo.

First produced in 1964 by the American artist, Robert Indiana as an image for a Christmas card and thereafter in 1973 as a series of USPS love stamps. Indiana's Love logo had soon became very popular and sculptures of this logo can be found in various locations in America and other well known cities of the world such as Bangkok, Tokyo, Spain, Vancouver, Shanghai etc.

Behind every artist's creation, be it an image, a logo, or sculpture, I'm sure there is an embedded message in them which the artist wish to convey. Same goes for this. During the times of war back then, the message behind this simple yet bold logo, was none other than Peace.

Today, we are blessed with a peaceful nation (though some other nations aren't for the same), and being well protected under our roofs, perhaps we have taken the importance of Peace for granted. We might have forgotten how difficult it was for this moment to come by. It is sad to know that many people like us, had forgotten the actual meaning of this sculpture, and it has become merely a piece of art somewhere in the corner of the city. Sad but true, and i'm guilty too.

So.... The next time when we pass by this sculpture, other than taking a few snaps of photos, perhaps we should stop by for a minute to truly appreciate Indiana's art and its true meaning.

Will you? :)

I like the songs in the movie too. The classic "Time after time" and the theme song too. The theme song is meaningful, it is sang by the popular korean singer, BoA.

"Be With You" by BoA.

10 promises to my dog, a movie that's worth your $10 and many times more.
A movie that i will watch a second time for sure. =)

Chicken rice can never be better anywhere else other than Boon Tong Kee.
So damn long since i last dine in there.
Spare the words, i'll let the photos do the talking instead.

P/S: do u think i resemble Cookie?

Nicky says I'm looking more and more like the blue creature. I seriously don't know if i should accept it as a compliment or an insult. omg.

Went to SFO this trip again. Had been waiting for 988626 years for this flight. i love this place. i love the people, the culture, the scenery and the climate too! i think everyone else does too!

After much procrastination, i finally accomplished 80% of my to-do list today.

• Updated my CAM.
• Packed my luggage.
• Settled the spree stuffs.
• Facial + Manicure (which somehow i kinda regretted on the colour.)

Left with...

• Preflight homework =(
• Holidays plans , yay!
• Money Changer (@Lucky Plaza)

I had boycotted this particular money changer near my place, who claimed to give me a very good tomodachi ( he really told me this in nihon-go!) + crew rate, which apparently turned out to be the worst rate ever. KNN. (how i wish i can say this to him in his tamil mother tongue )

Gotta settle my remaining tasks asap. I'm left with like less than 24hours. omg. And i can sense the pre-flight syndrome coming to me again, like how it always happens. Damn.

Rainy Friday.
Rainy nights are good for sleeping, confession of a human pig ... =/

Dinner at AkaShabu. Had been patronising this place on weekly basis, they should gimme some membership card. Haha, introduced to this place by Skykorkor aka jasonlim ( his new nickname lol !). Compared to Japan, i would say this is Budget ShabuShabu, quite delicious and very cheap. Sibeh Wuhua leh ^^




Friday Night = Movie Night
In case you have no idea, there is a new cinema. FilmGarde at Kallang Leisure. At the moment, they only have it there. Quite a good choice over the usual Cathay and GV.


Watched Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which i thought was interesting and funny, although the plot is somehow predictable. There is more humour in this sequel compared to the first one. I like the part where Hellboy and Abe were drinking beer and sang "I can't smile without you", the song is still ringing in my mind now. Abe is sooo cute, i like him, it. Really~

Bits of humor here and there, with the monsters fighting scenes. Overall, worth watching.

Little cute gift. A travel pillow, the material is like those mogu pillows. Very comfy, and cute!! It's a ladybug! A smiley beetle. And i'm so smart, i brought it into the cinema. Ultimate Comfy-ness ok! Haha.



How i wish i can bring it on flights to use during my crew rest! =X
Haha, totally impossible i know, i know.....
Hmm, maybe they should have something like this in the crew bunk. For better comfort which will result in higher work efficiency. Heehee.

Ending this post with a glimpse of my pretty red heels.
Not a clear shot sadly, it is a design with a little ribbon bow. Love the red.
Bought them from Guess in US last winter, wanted to wear it for Xmas or CNY, which unfortunately i was somewhere in the skies. =_=

XOXO <3

Isn't it cute?

Found it among my clothes barangs. Realised i bought it during my last trip at the 100yen shop. It's Kitty in a penguin outfit. kekekeke. And it has a glittery surface. I pranced around in my room for sometime, was wondering where i can stick this on. I couldn't find anywhere suitable. Not the wall, not the window panes, not the mirror.

In the end, i stuck it on my laptop. hahaha.
Together with my hello kitty mouse. So compatible!


Meowsss meowsss, i mean, Bye byeee =)

Argh, i'm sick.
the thing i hate about having flu is : I never have enough tissue paper all the time!!

On a happier note, my AL is approved.
Which means, H-O-L-I-D-A-Y-S !!!
Heeheehee.

The box resembles a metal briefcase.

The back of the box shows how the toy works.
If u press it's tummy, it will luff and talk.
And it will roll forth and back. It's hilarious.

For age 18months and above. I'm like at least 10times more?!
Who cares! LOL.

My cute babies.

Very hard to find this in SG. Most places only sells the Elmo one.
And not cheap too, retailing in SG for about Sgd$100 or so.

Tickle Me Cookie
Ya're off my wishlist now baby. ^^

*********************************************

My favourite dress that i bought.
Price slashed from USD $60 to $19.90. Cheap right!

I splurge happily this trip. Seriously i don't think any normal person of my species can resist those sales. I bought many dresses from Charlotte Russe. 75% sale!! I love this brand, too bad it's not available in SG. And...I still can't get over the fact that i didn't manage to buy the pair of wedges in LA. Argh...

And i emptied my wallet in Aigner, Bath and Body Works, Forever 21, Old Navy, Victoria's Secrets..... and even Godiva, Free truffle with every purchase. ^^ So heavenly! HeeHee.

I will switch my hp to silent mode whenever i sleep. I hate it when im sleeping and someone persistently calls me on my cell, it's super annoying when the vibration or the ringtone jerks u up in the middle of a sweet dream. i will curse into the caller. All my vibrant vocabulary sure come out.

Last night in jp, however, was a strange case, at least i thought so.

i fell asleep accidentally while watching some j-drama. When i was woken up by a room call, i noticed my hp has multiple missed calls and messages. Thankfully i was not disturbed by the calls while sleeping. But there was this unfamiliar number that i'm very certain it belongs to none of my friends. Anyway there were almost 10 missed calls from this number. i got a shock! Simi urgent case?! And when i checked my messages, there was one from the same number.

It says: "Sorry, dial wrong number."

Walau eh, u called 10times and realise it's wrong number ? How retarded. I highly suspect the caller must be a possessive lover, calling persistantly to check on his/her partner. And quite a stupid one too, if he/she didn't realise it's an overseas ringtone. Then again, it was rather polite of him/her to sms and tell me it's a mistake, though i won't bother to call back anyway.

Haha, how should i put it, maybe it's a strange yet polite caller incident.

Time to work. Sometimes it can be so mundane.
morning flights... argh

Uber happy this flight.

Did 1 leg of economy class for my JFK flight. It's like ages since i ever smell the economy class lor. I almost forget how to do my service. Hahaha. The chief is soooo nice, she did not assign me any gallery duty. heehee^^ And worked with a nice set of crews. Despite the full load, the flight was enjoyable.

Tried many new places for food recently. Had 100yen budget sushi for dinner last night. My sweet juniors brought me there for dinner. Converyor belt too~ Very yummy indeed, very fresh ok. Cheap cheap lor!!! Ate so many ebi, unagi and salmon, only paid 1000yen. I dig Japanese cuisine. My staple food.

Can't wait to return to SIN.
Can't wait to go for my SFO flight. i waited so damn long since my last SFO flt ok.
Can't wait to go for holidays. Hope my AL will be approved, applied abit last minute.

Bye, Off to shopping. =p
Sale season. No time no time!!

heehee. Time to enjoy the weekends and a lil' retail therapy!
