Christmas Day holiday, spent it out taking photos, eating prata, and playing pool. My first pool game like almost ever (not withstanding all the little failed tries when I tag along with the other guys...)


The oldest ship still sailing on the seas of the world; the 95-year-old MV Doulos, now berthed at Harbourfront. Was once a wartime supply ship, now a floating book fair...


The beautiful basement of Orchard Central, before the foodcourt opens, and the peace and quiet is lost amongst food smells and chatter~

The beautiful lighting of the basement...


Taking the lift up to the rooftop garden of Orchard Central.


My pool experience today wasn't quite as disastrous as all my previous attempts... haha!

Stepping from 2009 to 2010 really soon, what lies ahead?

It's another grey, wet, cold and drab Saturday... I want to go out! I want to cycling! I want to go take photos! I hate rain on weekends so much...


Thomas, who says turtles cannot be on bikes? =)

Damn sian today... Super sian... Bloody hell... I hate monkeys, I hate dogs; they always look happy, always without a care in the world. I so envy them. So much.

In a perfect world, all dogs should be nice and friendly and cuddly... Like Blackie from Mawai Eco Camp... I hate stray dogs! Especially when they bark and chase me when I'm out on the trail cycling! When I'm alone in the middle of some jungle somemore! I can't enjoy my ride if I have to keep looking around for any signs of stray dogs while cycling! Haiz... at least we don't have tigers or lions to worry about... =)

It's been 6 months since the back-breaking incident in my life thus far... While it's not been bothering me too much, it has not gone away totally as well, always sending me ad-hoc reminders never to forget about it... I've been totally grateful to whoever is looking after me up there in the heavens, and also grateful to all the wonderful people in my life. I'm totally grateful to be still walking, still running, still cycling. To be able to move about freely is a gift that we all take for granted. Thank heavens, thanks peoples =D

I hate smoking! I hate smoking! I hate smoking!!!! I hate smoking! I hate smoking! I hate smoking!!!!

Quite busy week for me, even though my main project for the year has been completed... so many little little errants to catch up... super tired and low motivation... feeling too tired to even go for my cherished biking and running sessions...


Met up with the FD Shooters for the Vivo anniversary fireworks. Had a meeting with my STK supervisor in the morning, which he had to evaluate me and sign my confirmation letter, then he asked me to join the Triz course he's in charge of. The course on only 3 days later! But anyway, the shooting went quite ok, apart from my photos which looked quite cropped on the sides... I want to try better again next time!!




Playing with longer shutters this time around, some pics came up nice, but many came up quite over-exposed... Try again next time!! Note: Must remember to bring tripod mount for shoots! =p

My Triz course friends, all strangers prior to the trip. But after a trek in knee deep mud, sitting through an afternoon of lessons, we sort of became quite ok friends, especially after a few beers... =)

It's really nice to be having the chance to go to Mawai Eco Camp on a company-paid trip =D

I quite enjoyed the kampung lifestyle, if only the snoring beside me at night wasn't there...~
