Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

I am like so busy lately. Busy working, busy with project and busy taking beautiful pictures using the new love. I now proclaim that Nikon cameras are AWESOME!!!! In fact when I went to PLAB today for the Air Force Open House, abt 70% of the visitors were using Nikon. Go Nikon!!!! I MUST lay my hands on one of the Nikon D300 one day. The effects are so pretty baby. :) Now, my digital cam which I held much respect and dignity and pride for is lying around in one corner of my hse.... ;P Oh yea, speaking of the Air Force Open House, its great! Tho the sun was so piercing thruout but I finally got to go near the aircrafts.... such big boys toy nv fail to amaze me, an eye-opener for sure.

Caught Death Race today. Its an excellent show (minus the violence), 4 out of 5 I would say, for the racing and the extremely superbly very hot babe named Kaze/Kace in the show. ;)

COMEX was good, saw alot of good buys but too bad I don't have so much spare moolah to grab them. Finally bought my FIRST MP3 tho. Creative Zen!!! Love the graphics but a hole in my pocket now. :( Some more I may most probably be going diving in the first week of Oct, after the highly detestable exams. More moolah gone... SO SAD CAN??? But for passion, anything else is really fine with me!!! Diving Diving!!! I've been dreaming abt it for days and nights... even practised my mask clearing a few days back.... getting all ready for my Advanced!!!! October can u like come soon?? Plsssss......

Haven't been practising Tennis for 2 weeks now, I'd better before I forget my strokes..... This will serve to remind me..... and my dear coach.... u know who u are... :)

Crap I am hungry again tho I just had my dinner. I think.... I have a python in my tummy, and a very huge one indeed. =S

The half marathon was killing me today, if waking up at 4.30am when I slept at 12am isn't shitty, tell me what is? Not helping with the weather blowing its top off, pouring rain from the skies every now and then. I wanna like SWIM and practise my mask clearing skills in the water!!!

Ok I am feeling totally dopey now. Nights!

Had my CopyWriting course today at British Council, its really good! I especially remember the TV commercials the trainer showed us just now:

Its a Thai ad on buying insurance..... slice of life. So emotionally evoking. Anyone would tear at it.

Here's another one. :(

Really good ads aren't they? They set ppl thinking.

Fireworks Festival tml and the weekend is here!! ;)

I didn't exactly had a good week actually. I hope my mood will not be so cranky during the weekend. :( What the hell is wrong with me?? -_- I don't like myself to be like this. CHEER UP WAN JUN! WEEKEND OH WEEKEND, here I come!!!!!! I think I need a short getaway to somewhere pls..... I really do.

Ok time to sleep..... news said that anyone with less than 6 and a half hours of sleep have 20% higher risk of getting high blood pressure...... Optimum no. of hours of sleep should be 9. ;)

I am so exhausted. From everything. But I heard a phrase today, cliche but true - we all start from crawling and falling and eventually walking on our own. Along the way, we need hands to help us through. That could come from your family and friends. Even though I am exhausted, brimmed with grouses and ruled by anger over my head, but I know for sure, his love will take me through. :) Thank God for everything.

I think, I should always believe in myself and not let my impulsiveness rule over me. It all happened within a blink of an eye. Sometimes, too good to be true. Should I or not? Did I or not?Tell me someone. It's such an ambiguous road ahead and I have no confidence in this. Maybe its not the time. But then again, all I need is time.

Life is short, not only that, fragile too. We should treasure every moments, enjoy and quit complaining sometimes. Applies to me too. ;P SBR this Sunday! Super excited! I've always loved events. =D

Have fun in Vietnam Fefe. When's my turn?!
Goodnite folks. :)

Church was pretty good today. The most vivid message I can remember from service is "to have a selfless mind". It struck me. How many ppl can put others in front of self. Its hard but not impossible. As usual, I think I should more frequently, care for others. I don't like barriers between others and myself. In fact, I am someone who don't want anyone to dislike me anyway. But we know for the fact that you cannot live to please everyone. Its true. :) Does the world needs more who care or do they need the world? Heard a message today that one couple actually got into a domestic issue while on the road and the female pillion actually jumped out of the moving bike on the expressway cuz she was pissed. Damn brainless can?? So many people are fighting to live life to the fullest but yet some take their lives so flippantly. I am disgusted by such actions. -_-

Anyway, I am so proud of Team Singapore - Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu. You ladies did us so proud and eventually settled for a Silver for Table Tennis 2 hrs back, raising our flag once again from the long break since 1960! I must comment that Zhang Yining (China rep cum world's no.1 Pingpong player) did extremely well, esp the amazing change of directions each time she hits the ball. I am awed! Michael Phelps!!!! He is another amazing character. Got his 8th Gold Medal in the Singles and broke the record in the 8th year of the milenium in this 08 Olympics..... Tsk tsk.... Is he even a human??? Nevertheless, its always good to challenge your own limit. :)

Tennis on Friday night was good. It was seriously an excellent work-out. I heart tennis! And I think I improved a teeny weeny little. More tennis plsssssss** The instructor suck la... throw tennis balls at awkward direction and so low some more, how to hit??? Somemore give tons of power shots and smacks.... How to hit???? We are beginners lei..... Not professionals lei!! HAHA! Ok la, I must give credit for his patience tho. :)

DSLR camera is so fun!!! I shall upload some peektures taken using the DSLR soon! Tho it cost like over 1k, I thot it was pretty worth for the value..... I wanna go around and take more pictures!!!!

Alrighty, I am exhausted from the exciting weekends, time for bed. Goodnite!! :)

The big 21 is looming (with wrinkles and crowfeet a step more visible) and here I am thinking about my future and goals. Time to re-evaluate my aims again after I graduate in a few months time. I seriously can't wait. The anticipation is killing me.

Being 21 means I am a young adult already, able to handle problems and solve it like an adult. There are a lot more to learn and I think I should stay down-to-earth and be grateful most times - Something really lacking in my character right now. However, I am thankful that God has given me these 21 years to search for who I am and allowing me to grow spiritually. 1 year in the corporate world made me see tons of things I could not back in the poly days. I am glad to say I've matured, might not be a lot but good enough for one at 20. I hope I will be blessed with abundance of knowledge and goodwill continually as I go on with life. I have nv regretted growing up and I hope I will continue to do so in a positive way, with someone I trust and adore.

On a random note, I ask myself when I am able to trust a person again. I find it extremely tedious, someone teach me pls. Not that I don't want but history makes it really hard. I need to start somewhere somehow, I hope you can be the one to help me thru.

Oh yea, I remember reading an article back during the beginning of the year on Bhutan, its definitely a world on its on. A place where I wanna visit one day. Its amazingly beautiful. I shall blog about it another day. :) The travel pages nv fail to wow me.... Hehe.

Time to hit the bed. Research has shown that late nights cause depression in a person easily, thus plenty of sleep and water is paramount in our daily life! :)

Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Go catch it! Its a damn adventurous and thrilling expedition of this 3 buggers to the centre of the Earth. Not forgetting the humour appeal of the show which tops it all. :) If u managed to watch the trailer of the show, the falling part wasn't the funniest, trust me, its worth that $20 for a good laugh and relaxation. :) If only there is a centre of the Earth, a world in the middle of the world..... I would love to experience it myself too. ;)

I am addicted to this song "Love Remains the Same" by Gavin Rossdale, its the theme song of this new Richard Gere show.... Night in somewhere starting with R..... So NICE!!!

"I..... never thought that I'd....... had anymore to give." WAHHHHH..... SO NICE! Anyone who wants it just pm me on MSN ya... you will love it too!

PICTURES!!!

Start off with Parco... he is damn CUTE la!!!! But the owner damn mean one, only bathe him once a week and bring him down to do his business only, other than that, dun expect more. HAHA... but he is so cute I cant help but disturb him everytime I see him. :) Stupid hair block my face... Nvm I will take another one with him some day. :)

Journey to Qian Hu fish farm with kaiming.

I tell u, as Singaporeans we must go there at least once in our lifetime.... its an eye-opener... :)
You'll see marine animals that you don't usually get to see and some may look gross but its really exotic.

Black retro polker dotie stingray.

Glass fish... SO PRETTY! They are so puny and you can see every capillaries and bones thru that crystal clear body. Amazing lei... Imagine human bodies are liddat. Haha.... ok better not imagine.

I forget what's this. Snakey fish.... Looks abit gross but really interesting.

Damn big fishes la.... shite man, their body is easily the size of my face or even bigger.
I hope for my next dive trip I can see all these stuff undar the sea too.... sea turtles!!!!

How can we miss out on the fish spa!!!

I think post one pic enough la, lazy to post so many..... Yea the spa was great, very relaxing but ticklish in the initial part. I heard its good for blood circulation.... whether the skin became smoother or not is another story..... I saw some documentaries where in other countries, ppl actually soak their whole body inside!! O_O Wah.... I think I must be really rich to buy so many spa fishes home..... $10 one fish lei! So not cheap....

Wah this is so lame... Kaiming started it...

Lame lei.. Haha.....

It was a good experience, more pls!

Sea of red, happened, or rather deliberately pass by ECP so we can catch this... COUNT ON ME SINGAPORE!!!!

Look look! I managed catch the yolk!!! Sunset.. The sun was really huge but the camera is not working hard man... Beautiful sight...

To end off, I present u a damn lame video taken that day as well.... I'd never thot that I would use so much strength just to play one arcarde game, its an even better workout than tennis.

See I told u the arcade game was violent.

But we had tons of fun.... :)

Time for bed. Goodnite!

Meantime, bedtime. :)

ME.

Someone told me lately that we shld look far in life, plan ahead cuz age is always not an advantage as time goes on. It struck me. I think I did in terms of my career and educational path. I know exactly what I want and the goals I have in mind. But for other aspects, I am always taking one step at a time. I always habour the thot that "I can still move on and look around", but its true that by the end of the day, what I need is only one, not that many. The warmth and comfort that you can't get from anything or anyone else, only to find ppl around you who has it. Its vexing but I have to go on. Only then I won't take things and people for granted. I think for the past few years, I have been taking too many things for granted, like its the given. It upsets myself and ppl around me. One for sure, I always don't have the courage to thank my parents for whatever they have done for me, somehow it feels odd.... but deep down I do, esp after watching Money Not Enough II. It holds lots of meaning with the lameness aside. I should start doing something for everyone around me, show them that I care and love them.

Sometimes I hope that things won't go beyond what I have aways thought and wanted. Perhaps my actions speak otherwise in such ubiquitous times and situation, nothing much I can do abt it. But that's who I am. I won't ever change for anyone else, likewise, I won't want anyone to change themselves for me. Its always the beauty of one's character which draws people. I am placing my bet, taking a risk, afterall ppl always say - "Life is like a rollercoaster ride", if there are no downs, you will cease to feel the ups. I agree. It's been a long time since I feel what I am feeling. I like the feeling - Rejuvenated.

Its ok if you don't understand what I am saying. Cuz sometimes, I dun myself too. This week is a short week, but alot to ponder about. I need time. One of the few things that money can't buy. People don't wait, so does age.

On a happier note, the office ppl actually put up the ENGAGE thingy at the lift lobby! So anyone who walks past can see our big faces. HAHA!

ME ME! There is two of me. Another one with Cyn. See if you can spot it. ;)

One pic I took with my cam for ytd's photo shoot:

Feels like a princess for a day. I shall go get the pics from the DSLR cam from my friend!!!!

Couldn't wake up for church today. ;P NEXT WEEK!!!!!
Okaye I need some exercise now!!!!! Till then, byebye!
