Boooooooooo
I was on a short trip to Jakata 2 months ago, all thanks to Grace. I never expect myself to go Jakata in my life if not for this bff of mine. Work has been shitty but I am so glad to be surrounded by a group of people who joined at the same time as me. The bonus point is that I have 2 bffs at work now, Grace and Jessie, who are my constant partners in crime when it comes to taking pantry breaks at random hours to break the monotony of work.
2012 has been slow so far, can't wait for 2013. There are some things which I wanna achieve by this year end. I need to get my ukulele class started, wanna go wakeboarding, still finding people who are keen in scuba diving (let me know if you are keen :) ), wanna go for a mid-haul trip and I wana get a pair of blades! Any recommendations for a good reliable comfy brand?
Will be jetting off this Friday for another short trip :)
With my BFFs~
My favourite month of the year :)
Not so much for obvious reasons, but rather it means a brand new year is awaiting me. Can't wait.
I was randomly reading through old blog posts and I must say I am totally astonished at how amateurish I was 5 years back when I started this blog. It was all about projects and outings back then, fresh from ORD and the start of uni life. Now I am 2 years past graduation and slogging in the working force with totally different set of priorities in life. Where do I wanna be in 5 years from now? I wish I am happier, healthier and richer.
Let's count down to year end together :)
Hello, how are you?
2011 is almost gone in a blink. This year has been extremely eventful in all aspects and I feel like I have done so much stuff. After going so many countries, my conclusion is that I cannot tahan Singapore's climate. That itself is a strong push factor for me to work/live in a cooler climate in time to come. That said, I do enjoy the sun when I am out at sea/water. Ambivalence.
I guess other than going Orchard road, there is much more to do around Singapore, more to explore. I need to engage in more active activities.
I can hear the jingle bells ringing~
Travelling is an escape. It's ironic to feel that it is an escape as this reflects how much we want to get away from our present lives. I guess it is only till the day when I see it as more than an escape can I say that my life is satisfying. That said, I am grateful for the many opportunities I have when it comes to trotting the globe.
Where next? I want to explore more of Scandinavia. Norway & Finland. More of Eastern Europe. Prague, Budapest, Warsaw. The Meditterranean. Greece. More of US definitely. LA, San Frans, Vegas. More of South America. Peru, Brazil. More of the Carribean. More sunny islands. This list is definitely not exhaustive.
I wish that when I see myself 4 years from now, I will feel that my life is more fulfilling. But for now, I will enjoy the moment :)

Carpe Diem~
It has been a good 5 months or so since I last blogged. So much has happened over this long span of time. I went to a city I have not been to before, had some of the nicest dim sums of my life, met up with friends whom I do not see as regularly like before, started tuitioning kids, had some really challenging work experience, and last but not least, embarked on a new journey :)
It has been extremely challenging for myself, and I am really elated that I have come thus far. I am proud to say I earned the opportunity and I will make the most out of it in the next few years. I have goals and dreams I want to attain within the next 2 years and I seek to achieve them very soon. Working is not as easy as completing your work on time, it is a hell lot of networking and social skills. The next few months of 2011 will be pretty exciting for myself :)
Nonetheless, there are downs in my life as well. I am disappointed with some people, people whom I see as close friends and yet being insensitive and you wonder why.
That said, if there is anything I have learned the hard way since graduating from school, it is that it doesnt matter how long you take to get to where you are, what matters is that you got there by yourself.
For all who are with me the past one year, sharing my ups and downs, tolerating me, bothering to organize meetups and who have always stand by me, I love you :)
P.S: pls continue to leave your message at the tagboar, I have no idea why those spams are coming, it's really irritating. Lol.

I need strong reasons to blog lately and this is definitely one strong reason, Canon Photo outing. Thanks to Canon, I finally get to experience my first ever photo outing with other enthusiasts. And the whole climax is when we are going to be accompanied by the 2 most charismatic actors in Singapore currently, Thomas Ong & Chris Lee. No regrets going for it !
It is still quite hard to believe that I can experience such close interaction with my idol since primary 4 in such an informal occasion. Idol Ong is so easy going and friendly that he totaly win over most of the peeps that day. His recent channel U drama with Jessica Liu is so well shot, I am really very impressed with the high standards of the drama and needless to say the superb performace delivered by them.
With idol Ong, my smile is so stiff from the starstruck~
I was using this 3k lens, 85mm prime and of course I requested idol Ong to pose~
Chris Lee was more detached, in my opinion. But still, he is one good actor.
My 2 fav dramas from the 90s. Double combi idol, Fann + Thomas ~
It's good to have idols in life, as it makes you feel there are so many awesome people around~

I am so glad to have caught Rabbit Hole alone, not that I mind having some company in the theatre but it's kinda surreal to watch a movie by myself after some time.
This must be one of the most underrated film of the year. I totally love Nicole Kidman. She completely consumes her character and gave such understated yet compelling performance. Coincidentally, I watched her in The Hours (2003) alone as well. I can totally relate to the movie, unlike the King's Speech. It's a simple story of how a couple come to terms with the loss of their 4 year old son and yet the way the film unfolds is amazing.
If only Natalie Portman is not running for Best Actress this year, Nicole Kidman will stand a high chance.
A beautiful tale of life. And death~
