Southern Ridges with ES - 2012

I love walks. Great way to hit 2 birds with one stone where we can chat and work out at the same time. Very enjoyable and therapeutic process where we excite ourselves with incidental gems along the trek. 

The Southern Ridges is one of those really fascinating trekking routes where it's far and long enough for a good workout yet not too challenging for the unfit. For the easily bored trekkers, the route also promises interesting finds and rest stops along the way like the terrace garden at telok blangah hill park, the canopy walk at kent ridge park etc. 

Yep. I'd prefer this anytime to wandering around in town. Just need the determination to get my butt off the comp and couch.

Bird thoughts

Found this birdee curled up at a corner of my void deck that day. It was pouring that night and its feathers were wet and clumpy.

I happened to have my cam with me and just snapped away. It was a weird bird. Either that or it was injured. Didn't see any physical injuries though.

The bird didn't move an inch, totally oblivious to the huge camera at its face and the heavy breathing from the camerawoman who was tired from sprawling on the floor.

Ya, when one is tired and out, he wouldn't care how people look at him. He'll just snuggle in his comfort zone. Unless it's life threatening, he would not budge.

That's how we live life sometimes. scary.

Mayday 諾亞方舟2012 - 25 Feb

A belated post. Been through a few happening weeks and I'm glad to have lots of nua and me-time this weekend. Caught up on...

1) beauty sleep

2) dramas

3) AMI - HeeJun Han is the bomb!! Jessica Sanchez has crazy vocals.

4) Updating myself with new songs - The Fray's new album looks promising.. Other top singles like ' We are young', 'Young Wild and Free'... worth a spin.. ya..why so many songs talking about youth and freedom.. ?!

5) Trying to catch up on some good chinese songs... not updated anymore. Gonna be one of those who keeps singing the same old songs in ktv liao... grr. Sign of maturity. Too many committments, too little time and different priorities.

Mayday was great as usual. Love the stage setup this time. Impressive and colorful. Song selection not very ideal in my opinion...yep.in my opinion. 

Couldn't get my favourite teeshirt though and got this kiddy design in the end. I mean like seriously..... I'm sure you can come up with better designs than a teddy bear hugging a heart. -_- I bought it anyways. double -_-

March is ending. omg. Crazy year on full throttle and will get crazier. Hold on tight.

第二人生

你听到闹钟声 你推开了抱枕
你醒在 无尽的 疲倦的人生
英雄没有出现 奇迹没有发生
你只有 苦涩的 即溶咖啡粉

你天天看新闻 在等什么发生
让人生 再重头 再起死回生
地心没有沸腾 陨石没有倾盆
只有你 和日子 长满了灰尘

期待一趟旅程 精采万分 你却还在等
等到荒废青春 用尽体温 才开始悔恨

期待一种永恒 却怕伤痕 怕碎骨粉身
最后还是一个人 没有神
你孤独的生存

你才刚出了门 你就开始在等 
你等着 快回家 回你的围城
命运如果有门 名字就叫心门
并不是 能不能 而是肯不肯

生命不是过程 而是美丽旅程 
风景有 亮和暗 也有爱和恨
第一站叫天真 第二站叫青春
下一站 的名字 等你去确认

期待一趟旅程 精采万分 你却还在等
等到荒废青春 用尽体温 才开始悔恨

期待一种永恒 即使伤痕 也奋不顾身
也许会有一个人 陪着你 向新人生启程

每个灵魂 每个人 每次 劫后余生
每个心跳 每滴泪 在等 绝处逢生
如果命运注定你的诞生
如果末日始终没有发生
不要等到来生
让此时此刻 能不虚此生

期待一趟旅程 精采万分 你不该再等
别到荒废青春 用尽体温 才开始悔恨

期待一种永恒 即使伤痕 也奋不顾身
生命还没有黄昏下一站你的第二人生

你的第二人生

Addiction to Sims Social

I'm going mad trying to collect stuff on the sims social game on FB. I'm not a game person but rather, I have very selective genre of games I'm attracted to. Sims is one of them. Anything that's got to do with building homes, social interaction with virtual re-enactment of real life. The other type of game I play would be those jewels puzzle games like bejeweled blitz. The last category would be word games like scramble, scrabble, hangman.

I am right now actively trying to persuade friends to play sims social! I'll resort to coercing soon.... so those good friends of mine.. pls zi dong abit and set up an account!! Don't need to play the game.. just log on daily to accept my requests and to click on my feeds would suffice.

I'm trying to build up my beach vacation home and also get a coffee maker which so isn't going to realise.

I need to set up a sims social interest group! sigh.

Mid week!

Everyday I'm shuffle-ling.....

I need to get my heart pumping. Not that it's not. Just not hard enough.. with the occasional shopping and the intensive finger exercises to earn 35k simoleons to buy my dream treadmill for my sim. I need to get back into my 3 times a week exercise routine. Yes I will!

Had a good jog with the cool breeze at 3pm.. yea. weather's undergoing PMS recently. Can be freaking blazing hot one minute...and then pouring buckets the other minute. So, moral of the story is to eliminate procrastination and head out for your exercise as soon as you see good weather.

Caught up on some rest this weekend.. Not enough but I'm contented. Tried to make friends with the bangla supervisor at my new estate.. but he said it's ready for viewing yet. The lower neighboring block is ready though so we headed to the 6th floor and saw some workers working on my windows. heh. I hollered...Harlow!!! and naz shut me up. 

Met up with zhe and sharon san for dinner at watami @ J8. Zhe's certainly more connected now with whatsapp... woohoo. love apple for bringing friends and loved ones closer.

Ahmad based in NYC had been raving about HER jeremy lin...whom she says he stays at white plains next to her block! 

He's like the next NBA hottie. Papers love him... new words were added into the dictionary such as Linsanity... Lin-possible... lame but sensational. The charm of sportstars.

A great week awaits.

Teamwork

Been in a battle with the ZZzzz monster. Struggled for like a week and now finally I could see some signs of victory.

Work has been hectic. For my whole division actually. Dunno what is making us so busy actually. But just BUSY. I think my colleagues are really releasing their work stress through cracking cold and lame jokes and the rest just fuelled the crazy mood by laughing like hyenas. We display great teamwork even when we're stressed.

The current concoction of CDD is really the most ideal in history I think. I will really miss the incredulous harmony when I leave. Sob sob.

I should be happy. Ya. But can't help feeling alittle blue when I think of uncertainty of the new work place.

Moving on mochi.... hmm. What did I do during vday ah.... popular question by all.

I went for my kickboxing class as usual! Loved the workout and the sweat. The instructor asked if everyone here got no date that's why we are here. hahaha. Wrong. We had a date with Exercise!

Anyway, vday is really over-rated so we don't really bother actually,

One day before vday, ES brought me to a french bistro at the side of Shaw Centre - Lido level 1 called Bistro Du Vin. I had the nicest french onion soup, french loaf and mashed potatoes ever. I wished I could cut open my tummy, stuff all the carbos in and then seal it. Dreaming. The onion soup was laced with generous wallop of cheese, croutons and onions. I was full before I even started on my roast chicken main course. We decided to share our food the next time we go.

Beautiful and simple dinner date without torturing the credit card with costly and horrible-tasting vday menu.

catching some rays of hope

Took this pic at Hort Park when I did a site recee. Played around with it and the result was an unintentional nirvana looking flower.

I liked it. Kinda resonated with my feelings given the many new exciting stuff already happening this early in the year. Finally seeing some newfound hope in my personal life and work. Good year for Roosters I read. I hope.

Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. I wish the same for all. Cuckadoodle doo!

明天會更好！
