Women R Special...

haha... tis is wat i "steal" from Aileen's blog.. very interesting & true so decide to share with the rest of u..

Something for all women:

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I’m a woman," she told him

"I don’t understand," he said.

His mum just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up to become a fine young man, but he was still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put a call to God, "Dear God, why do women cry so easily?"

God answered his question.

"When I made the woman, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaints.

I gave her sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because this is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

how issit?? is it special and meaningful? girls, do u feel tat u r special in any way u look at urself? haha...

i miss my frens in spore!!! i am so proud of myself!

is Sunday again!!! which marks the end of a week & a start of a new week.. haha.. let me recall wat did i do tis whole week.

hmm.. 1st, Monday was a holiday as it is Labour day. so NO sch! yeahz~! then on Tuesday, i went to sch for my 1st ever lecture even since mid term break abt 2 weeks ago... then from Wed to Fri i had been doing the stupid assignment tat will due tomolo, 8May! a 2000words essay, 40% weightage. everyday is facing my dear lappy to do research and more research.. lappy, xin ku le.. work so hard every day. haha...

then yesterday was Buddha Festival in Brisbane. there is a carnival @ south bank & there r fireworks display. but guess wat?? i am NOT part of any stated above! i was HOME on a saturday when everyone is out having FUN!!! both my housemates, Tess & Huiying went out with my other friends to watch MI3 & the fireworks while i had to stay home. haiz... in the morning when they asked me to go, i was so so tempted so i tried so hard to finish my essay by 4pm. however, i noe i had more to do after the essay so i really cannot afford to go and have fun ah. i surely will feel damn guilty. so i chose to stay HOME when there r so many distractions and temptions. so at abt 6.30pm, they went out. i stood at the door to say BYE BYE with so much sadness in my heart. i am HOME ALONE!!! quite sad lor.. very unbalance ah.. everyone went out & i am HOME. then worse ting is i need eat dinner myself.. sad... worst worst ting is i heard the fireworks damn loud from my house here but i cannot see anything!!! (another round of fireworks tonight ah...arrgghh!!!) so after dinner, i gave myself a short break. i called HOME to tok to my aunties but it was a short while as they r busy. then i called Junwei. haha... nutting much but jus to irritate him. he was telling me he having dinner @ Fish & Co with Seafood platter, ask me wanna eat or not.. he so mean ah!!! oh well, i called him to ask him help me buy Digital Camera for me. heehee.. he is one person i noe i can always always rely on. cos i noe he wun turn his back at me & he surely will help me. heehee... is jus so secure and good with Jun around but then i muz clarify ah!!! Jun & I r juz close good buddies... we r close but tat's it ah! u pple out there, dun anyhow tink ah... haha

then at nite i chatted with Hui & shuwei on MSN. is such a great feeling to tok to pple from spore... i tok until i dun wan sleep. end up slept at 5am. haha... somehow i really miss all of them in spore so so much. dunno y, tis sem i feel more strongly abt it. i juz wanna tell the whole world how much i miss all my frens in spore!!! they r the best buddies i noe for years... they r the ones who went thru with in my toughness time in pri, sec sch & poly. they r the ones who nv turn away from me whenever i need them, they r the ones who r always always there for me in good and bad times. i juz wana my frenship with every single one of them to last for as long as it can go, no matter where i am, they r a grp of impt pple to me! *folks in spore, i thank u for ur tolerance towards me & thank u for accepting me as wat i am.. i simply love & miss all ya so so much!*

oh ya! forget to congrat myself! my scarifice work! i din go out last nite, rite? so i manage to finish my 2000words essay (due tomolo) & my grp presentation (due to discuss tomolo). haha... i am so so proud of myself. now i need pia for the rest of my assignments & look forward to 16 May, my temporary freedom before examz!!! haha... cool~~!!! get back to studies now... yeahz!

PMS is no excuse... i am juz plain lazy.

LEAVE me ALONE!!! i will not surrender and let u all take over from here... i will fight fight till the end! we shall see... u win or i win... ~humph~! u all tink u r powerful?? oh well, i am going to prove u wrong! so so wrong! i will not be defeated by u! u evil devils! 谁怕谁！**

is a very er xin and gross show...

oh my gosh!!! 1st time in my life, i wanna walked out of the cinema halfway thru the movie... i really cannot tahan half way and i keep asking my fren "is 11pm liao... going to end soon hor?" aiyo... i act counting down to the time the movie end. can u imagine tat? the show is so so gross and er xin and disgusting... make me feel like puking, lucky i din have a full dinner before the show. in the show, the scene of blood is like the most crucial tingy. dun let the audience see blood really cannot like tis...

oh ya... forget tell u all wat show is tat. is called "Hills have Eyes". i dunno if is shown in spore or wat rating it is even if is shown. here, is R18.. meaning restricted for 18 yrs and above only. when we went in, the cinema still need check our ID to make sure we r legal age to watch. haha.. i still dun understand y. now i finally noe ah. is too gross and violent for younger pple cos there r too much bloody scene.

story of the show is basically abt a village in the mid of a desert in Mexico having been destroyed by USA nuclear testing. pple of the village either die or they r deformed & they turn into "beasts". they looked very horrible and they eat human flesh. no one knew their existence in the desert and they juz kill anyone who goes near to where they r. they will eat their flesh and let them die until super horrible. there is tis family who r on their way for family hols, they pass by this desert & encounter a series of bloody killing. the father was burnt to death after being knock unconscious & his body was dragged away. after which he was found with a USA flag pierced into his head (can u imagine how er xin the scene was???) then the mother was shot by a gun at the stomach while saving her daughters & died. & the most disgusting part is her flesh r eaten by the deformed pple from the desert (so cruel...) then the eldest daughter was being sexually insulted and killed while trying to save her baby. as for the 2nd daughter, she was raped by the deformed pple from desert which is really horrible scene... then the 1st daughter's husband had 2 fingers chopped off while saving his baby who was captured by the deformed pple. end up the baby was saved!!!! (hurray!!!) as for the youngest son of the family... he is young but he really plays a part to protect the family. so end up a family of 8, only 4 pple survived... tis is really tragic ending... & is really very er xin with all the flesh showing, bloody scene and body parts being chopped up. gosh!!! okok... shall end here before my blog being a bloody blog ah...

if u all have chance, go watch the show ba... haha... is disgusting but exciting wor... heehee...

oh ya... juz a casual tot... absence make the heart grow fonder or absence make the heart grow colder & feelings fading away??? hmm...

General Election is here!!! do u need to vote???

hmm... guess the hottest topic in Spore shld be General Election ba... well, i had been reading the newspaper from spore full of Election's stuff. haha... and topic among some of my frens r: "do u need to vote?" well, we r all officially 21 yrs old liao mah... so is legal age to vote!!! some of us here r lucky enough to be 1st time voters! haha... but wun b able to vote as the Spore High Commission is in Canberra!!! which is faraway... heehee.. well well... i am not the lucky ones lah cos the GRC i am in will nv have any competition for it is lead by our very own MM Lee Kuan Yew. heehee.. with him around, i feel very safe ah.. no competition.. no voting.. always walkover. i tink if i ask my parents when is last they vote for election, i tink they oso forget ah.. haha..

anyway, i always like to go thru all these election tingy.. cos seems very interesting, esp on the day of voting and announcing results. i wanna see how many votes PAP win, how many votes opposition win and how minor margin they lost to PAP. oh well, esp the counting of vote is exciting and interesting lor. sound boring to most of u? haha.. i am not a politican freak, is juz tat i like to noe more abt all these outcome.. becos is my own country and join in excitement mah.. haha...

so anyone of u out there who need to vote??? i noe those in AMK GRC need to vote ohh... PM Lee Hsien Long oso got challengers ah... heehee.. 1st time voters.. excited or not???

how "wonderful" is my exam timetable...

hmm... juz as almost everyone in spore is having examz... i oso join in the "examz passion"... haha... here to share my draft EXAMZ timetable... heehee... act wat i look forward to is when i end exam and can start my Melbourne and Ayers Rock holidays ah!!!

14 Nov: 4th paper @ 2.30pm - level 2 module (din study much cos totally drained out after 3 papers at 1 go)

oh well, tis is how i survive last sem. i totally drained out at the end of 3rd paper so last paper was a disaster. i anyhow study, so got an anyhow grade ah... haiz... sad... i became mountain turtle for last sem cos i need pia 3 papers revision in less than 2 weeks cos my last 2 assignments due on my last day of school when everyone already started to revise for examz ah... anyway, last sem was a freaking stressed sem for me and i am glad somehow i survive. haha..

“我真的很想家，很想回家。。” -- Spore, i miss u...

hmm.... suppose to be rushing assignments and yet i did something. haha...

well, last few days i was watching this Hong Kong TVB series, "Yummy Yummy". i tink is shown in spore oso. well, i was watching and watching. manage to clear the 30 episodes series in 3 days before it interfere with my assignments. anyway, there r few episodes in the show which was taken in spore. reminds me of home.. and even worse, the 2nd last episode is taken at Toa Payoh!!! is my house lor!!! my home in spore!!! omg!!! really make me wanna fly home straight away. i feel so so excited when i was watching that episode. every single background look so so familiar. seems tat i juz been there yesterday, in actual fact, i already leave home for almost 3 mths. *sob sob*... y do i still get home sick leh? haiz... guess tat is human nature ba... no matter how long it is, how tough u r, once u see something familiar to ur home, u will tink of home and get home sick... make me wanna shout: “我真的很想家，很想回家。。” Spore, i really really miss u so so much!!!!

in order to cure some of my home sickness, haha... tis is wat i did...

yeahz!!! here r all my beloved FRIENDS back in spore... i miss everyone of them so so much.. w/o them in my life, i guess my life will be really dull and boring... friends brighten up my life and make me feel happy and loved. to all my friends, thank u very very much!!!

who else can be the best gift in tis world??? yeahz... is FAMILY!!! they r the one who tolerate all my nonsense, temper and unresonableness. no 2nd grp of pple can replace my family... they r the ones i love & treasure most. w/o family, there will never be a complete me... i owe watever i am now to my family... to everyone in my family, thank u 100 times!!!

basic equation:

FAMILY + FRIENDS = IRIS LIM WEE SAN

i guess Iris Lim Wee San will be nobody and nutting and no live without all her beloved ones back HOME. Family complete her life by taking in all her unreasonable attitude and giving in to her unconditionally and teaching her all the aspects of life. Friends r the ones who brighten up her days and giving her utmost support when she is facing obstacles in life and going thru all kind of happiness, sadness, toughness and sweetness with her.

Commonwealth Games Welcome Home Parade in Brisbane - Great Experience!!!

Guess wat did i do yesterday??? haha... i went to b a volunteer @ the Commonwealth Games Welcome Home Parade for Queensland Athletes... YEahz!!! is a great great experience as there wun be such opportunity in spore. i saw how the organisers ran around toking on walkie talkie to make sure tings r in place (reminds me the days when i was in charge of events... though mine small scale as compared lah... i miss the days... ).

in the morning, me and Tess went for it. we were nearly late but lucky bus was fast so we were ON time... heehee... then we noted our attendance. both of us were reserves, juz in case pple din turn up and we will take over. & our job will be disturb flags to the general public so tat they can wave as the parade goes on. then the person in charge came over to me and asked me to go over and hold on to a board for 1 of the athlete's name as i tink someone din turn up. so there i am, with the athlete's name "Ben Turner", standing in front of Vintage Car No. 23. well, tis parade is such tat the athletes will sit in their individual vintage cars and parade from start of Queen Street (supposely a pedestrain street) to end of George Street into Parliment House for public to take a look @ their favourite athletes. as the athletes arrived, we r suppose to start everything soon... then Ben Turner came over to my side & greeted me. well, it is their basic manners here that they will greet anyone before starting a conversation.

as Ben Turner toks to the driver of the vintage car... guess wat i did? yeahz!!! for the very very 1st time i held on to a Commonwealth Games GOLD medal!!! Ben is the gold medalist for the weight lifting event he took part. yeahz!!! the medal was heavy... is very well carved! is damn damn nice!!! really love the feel for it sia!!! yeahz!!!! haha....

after a short whilel, the parade started... & there i am, with the board with Ben's name on it. i had to hold it rite up so tat everyone can see his name. it was tiring job with my hand up rite... till now still a bit aching. haha... but is worth it!!! yeahz!!! & the crowd was very very supportive. they really love their athletes very much... someone whom they r so proud of... i saw lots of school kids with mini and big posters shouting out to names of athletes and stretching out hands to shake their fav's hands. many had strips of paper to ask for signatures. gosh.... i dun see all these in spore i guess. cos sporean arent tat supportive for such events after all. but tis is really the scene i wanna see and get involved in, how i wish i was like the kids, able to shout out to the names of my fav athletes. haha... i oso saw many adults (abt 50 to 60 yrs old) going after their fav athletes. heehee... in fact i saw 1 of the athlete whom i was rather familiar. she was the triathlete that won the GOLD medal for women's race. i was very touched and cried when i watched her race cos it was a splendid moment when she crossed the finishing line and everyone cheered for her! can u imagine, when u did something proud for the country, ur fellow country pple cheer for u??? tat is a SPECTACULAR moment i can be sure of! well, juz tat i had to be in position so i din go for her signature. but is good to see her cos she is really nice and friendly.

okok... end of story telling... let u all see the photos and slowly enjoy ba... heehee...

Me & Tess with the Blue Vintage car as background

i am a lucky girl, being blessed with family warmth, peer support & emotional reliance & comfort...

haha... before my international calling card expire, i need to finish up the value ah... so i need to call home ah.

juz make 2 calls back to spore. called my parents 1st & had a half an hour chat with my mum. tok abt alot of tings like wat i do here and wat happen here & some daily issues. as many of u all noe, i dun stay with my parents back in spore so i oso seldom have chance to tok to them. i guess all these phone calls actually allow me to have more chances to tok to them and chat longer with them. my mum asked me take care of myself and asked me concentrate on studies, things r good in spore, ask me dun worry... heehee... juz simple words, i already feel very heart warming. as usual, my dad is very gan cheong to hear my voice but refuse to tok to me on phone, juz pass msg thru my mum. haha... my mum asked me if i am going back tis yr end. well, i oso not too sure. i really wanna stay and work here but i oso worry if i cannot find a job then how. so i oso cannot decide as yet. too many issues concerning whether to go back or not ba.. anyway, still long way... study 1st lah... haha...

2nd call was to my auntie and grandma. however, as i called too late, my grandma sleep liao. well, so spoke to my auntie ah. tok abt daily issues oso lor. well, not much oso but she asked me when is my convocation cos my uncle wanna bring my cousins along if it happen to be during their sch hols. hmm... seriously, i oso dunno wor... need check it out 1st. heehee... it will b great if all of them can come and i can bring them around ah... yeahz!!!

told my mum and aunt tat i did the Hakka dish tat day & it was not a success. they both laughed and gave me some more tips abt how to make it better. hmm... when i am in even better mood, i will try and do it again. is such a time consuming dish but i juz wanna make it perfect. hopefully i can do a better job the 2nd time! yeahz!!!

feel blessed at tis moment... cos i noe i have family support back in spore whom i can always always rely on no matter wat happen and whenever. i am nv alone cos i have my family with me mentally all the time. we may not express out but the family ties is definitely there. how lucky i am to have such wonderful family & my bonus is i have a grp of friends who will b there for me whenever i need them. life had been good for me all these while blessing me with family and friends & small small priceless feelings and moments which money can never buy... i am indeed a lucky girl... i will treasure and cherish all these... not taking anyting for granted, i promise!

"Draw a House"

heehee... found tis on Ivy's blog so decide to give it a try...

my house look very kiddy, juz like those drawing by young kids...

[URL=http://drawahouse.com/houses/show.asp?houseID=303034&houseHash=6e5d9e8f9c96742fa4f9deca9f2553f4][IMG]http://drawahouse.com/houses/2006/3/23/303034_t.gif[/IMG]Click here to view my house[/URL]

**unable to show the pic of house cos the link is not compatiable... only can show link...

here is the analysis:

You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are good at making friends and when the joyful moment arrives, you make the most out of it. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be. You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. We also see that you are sensuous, sexual, and privately passionate. You don't think much about yourself.

hmmm... quite accurate oh... but of cos some parts not tat rite lah...

try it if u have time ohh... cheers~~!!!

Thats My Goal... by Shayne Ward

recently a fren recommended a song to me... quite like it cos the lyrics very meaningful and music is quite nice too... here is the lyrics:

song title: Thats My Goal
singer: Shayne Ward

mmmhmmm yeah yeah yeah.
You know where I come from,
You know my story,
You know why I'm standing here, tonight.
Please don't go,
Don't be in a hurry,
I'm here to make it clear,
Make it right.
Well I know I've acted foolish
but I promise you, no more.
I've finally found that something worth reaching for.

Chorus:
I'm not here to say I'm sorry,
I'm not here to lie to you,
I'm here to say I'm ready, that I've finally thought it through,
I'm not here to let your love go,I
'm not giving up, oh no,
I'm here to win your heart and soul,
That's my goal.

Please don't go, you know that I need you,
I can't breath without you, live without you, be without you,
Well I know I've acted foolish but I promise you no more, no more.

Chorus:
I'm not here to say I'm sorry,
I'm not here to lie to you,
I'm here to say I'm ready, that I've finally thought it through,
I'm not here to let your love go,
I'm not giving up, oh no,
I'm here to win your heart and soul,
That's my goal.

Well I won't stop believing that we will be leaving together,
So when I say I love you I mean it forever and ever,
ever and ever.

I'm not here to say I'm sorry

Chorus:
I'm not here to say I'm sorry,
I'm not here to lie to you,
I'm here to say I'm ready, that I've finally thought it through,
I'm not here to let your love go,
I'm not giving up, oh no,
I'm here to win your heart and soul,
That's why I'm here,
Yes I'm here to win your heat and soul
That's my goal.

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

DONG DONG CHIANG!!! DONG DONG CHIANG!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! Xin Nian Kuai Le!!!

yeahz!!! is chinese new year period again with pretty new year clothes, lots of goodies & homemade traditional cuisines... ang baos... nice shows and movies... in the past when i am still younger, tis is a festival i really look forward. as i can "earn" $$$ by saying "gong xi fa cai" to all the married adults i meet and there r alot of good food around for me to eat non stop. haha... of cos, there will be very nice clothes to wear every year.

now tat i grow up, of cos i still love tis festival but is for a different meaning. i see it more as a great opportunity for family gathering. for 1 whole year, we r busy with our own stuff, seldom do we meet nor sit down and really chit chat or have dinner. new year is when everyone comes home... young and old... we will gather around and enjoy the family warmth and listen to everyone's latest updates and ou er find out some spicy news... haha...

tis year, new year is exceptional important and precious to me. as after i go back to brisbane, i wun be back in the next 1 and a half year unless some special family reason. thus next yr, CNY will be spent alone in aussie which is going to b real different from now. i dunno how it is like but i certainly treasure tis yr's CNY more than anyone do. i am glad to see so many of my relatives before i fly off tis coming sun. as usual their quest r how r u? how's aussie? how's studies? can cope? can adapt? such quest i ans dunno how many times thru out tis period until mouth quite numb but i do understand tat it their concern and care lah... heehee...

not only did i met up with relatives, as a usual practice, every year my pri sch and i will go and visit our pri sch teachers. heehee... it had been 10th year since we graduated. tis year we gave them a special pressie, is a collage pic with photos of all of us thru out these few years. is certainly very heartwarming to see all my frens and teachers who had been with me since i was as young as 12 years old. i really treasure tis nan de the relationship with all of them. last year i missed the CNY visiting, tis year i am contented to be able to say hello and goodbye to all of them once again before i leave. heehee...

well, CNY hols is coming to an end... back to reality. cannot keep on having dreams... haha... older by one before CNY, definitely wiser by one yeahz! flying off tis sun, my reality will be pack bag... still got some stuff which i haven't buy. muz start to buy and start to pack my bag so tat i can fly off on sun ah. lazy to pack but still have to lah... haiz...

overall, happy happy for tis hols spent in spore.. really happy to see so many pple though i miss out some. nevertheless, i am contented...

**countdown to special day back to Brisbane = 5 days**

my 22nd birthday...

heehee... juz reached home... y am i so late leh? well, now is 28 jan 2.50am... juz few hrs ago which is yesterday, 27jan is my 22nd birthday! heehee... at the strike of twelve at nite of 27jan, sms and msn msg came in one after another to send me their wishes... really thank u very much to everyone who send me the msg.. some unexpected msg which make me feel real great... some disappointed as i am awaiting for some impt pple to msg... haha... anyway, is over! i am officially 22 years old liao... older by one... hopefully is wiser by one too...

now... question abt how i spend my bday leh??? tis year bday was very "clean" as there is no sabotage of "cake bath" like last year... tis year bday was very quiet and simple. partly reason is tat everyone is busy with their own stuff and i oso dun really see the need to have some sort of celebration ba... juz wanna simple and easy. in fact my bday celebration was on last Sunday with my spice buddies from sec sch... we celebrated 3 bdays together, me, jun and lian... heehee... fun and unforgettable combined bday for the 1st time... really love all the fun and photos we taken tat day...

okok.. back to 22nd bday on 27jan... how i spend it? well, the nite before i had a cold and so din really had much energy. woke up late and then after breaky, went to buy some stuff for my returning to aussie. i start to prepare to go out at abt 6plus as i am meeting my fren at abt 7pm at suntec. well well, is juz 1 fren. and reason y i meet him is becos last week when he asked me out, he suggested friday and i agreed straight w/o realising the date. anyway, since i already agreed with him, i oso lazy to change. meeting someone diff for bday oso kinda nice... haha...

i told pat tat tis fren i am meeting will definitely dun rem my bday. she asked me then y i still go out with him and is weird... well, i was tinking is ok lah. so long nv see him plus no one date me out for my bday lor... hahaha... when i met him at suntec, true enough he din rem. i oso din say much. continue to look for place for dinner. along the way, i keep saying today is a special day. he asked me y i keep repeating ever since last week. haha... he very blur until i cannot help but keep laughing lor... then when we decided to go to NYDC for dinner, while waiting for our food, he asked if it is my bday... then i juz showed him my IC and the date today. haha... he was kinda shocked and nv expect to be so qiao... haha...

he insisted to treat me for dinner though i keep saying i dun wan. then we went for movie and yes, he paid for it again. haiz... kinda paiseh to make him pay for dinner and movie. i wanna go dutch but he juz refused. after movie, it was kinda late. we took a cab home. 1st stop, my house. without saying, is he pay the cab fare again lor. i wanna split, he dun wan lor. haiz... act he too ke qi liao... i went out with him on bday din expect him to treat me. i juz wanna go out and enjoy for bday. he even offered to send me up to my house... lucky i insisted NO ah... so late liao... my poor boy... haiz... anyway, really thank him for a simple and yet wonderful bday. dun tink he will see tis entry lah... but still wanna say:

PS: hey boy, thanks for the dinner and movie treat plus taxi ride. really appreciate alot and i really had fun. it is the most quiet bday i ever had for tis few years and i am very contented abt it. juz as i told u, i need tat attention on my bday and i got it tis year. thank u really very much... cheers!!!

End up the one i wanna is out of stock!!! i dun wan give up hope, i went to Robinson at centrepoint to find. oso out of stock!!! then i went to John Little, guess wat? is out of stock too. then i saw a quite nice one so i tot of taking tat one then ok liao. but i refuse to give in. i still hope to find cos i can still go to Taka, isetan, Ck tangs and metro in Orchard.
