This Christmas, Think Others.

Do you have any plan for Christmas this year when expecting for 'end of the world'? Christmas always makes December so beautiful. I love Christmas, and to countdown for another brand new year. Every year has been like that, to shop for Christmas gifts, celebrate and makan. This year, on this day - Christmas eve, I decided to fulfill one of my resolution which has been pending for the past two years, which is to -- sponsor a child via World Vision Malaysia.

I had this idea when I first started working. I'm not quite sure where I got this idea, maybe in a way of thinking contribute back to the society? World Vision do not directly pass the money to the sponsored kids, and they don't encourage the sponsors to send monetary items to the sponsored kids as well. For more info about world vision, you can log on to their official website www.worldvision.org.

So, with little monthly committment, I'm happy on what I can contribute.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Gardens by the Bay

Hello, Singapore! This is an out-dated blogpost, I actually visited this beautiful place on October. Aww... how I miss this fun and happy trip :( Look at the photo, my grandma a.k.a. San San is flying off to Japan in another 4 days. Happy-nyeer. How I wish I can travel non-stop and no need to work *wake-up, it's not going to happen at this point of time* Well, that's actually one of my dream :) 

Gardens by the Bay is strategically located next to Marina Bay, the iconic spaceship building with hotel, casino and shopping mall all together. There is a link bridge you can walk from the hotel too. A very nice bridge especially night time, you can just sit on the benches and see the car passes by :) Relaxing if it is a windy night.

Wait no further, we got the tickets and ready for our adventure to the bay! This beautiful place had killed our camera battery life badly. Even the memory card got affected. The admission fees for two conservatories is SGD 28 per adult and another SGD 5 for the skyway. Two conservatories include Cloud Forest (云雾林) and Flower Dome (花穹). 

The sun is shining bright, so we decided to keep the walkway till the evening and go for Cloud Forest first. Wow...wow...wow... Present to you, The Falls!!! How can you not taking photo in front of this beautiful waterfalls? They are moving the beauty of nature into this dome! oMg... and this is just the beginning.

Though it looks small from the outside, it has 4-5 floors in this dome. You just gonna walk walk walk and continually be amazed. What keep repeating in my mind is that: how they do this ah? Who is the big mind behind this? It is tremendously amazing to me. It is kinda hard to have a garden in a developed city, and now they make this garden in a building. *speechless*

You will not feel warm because there are air-conditioner everywhere. In fact, you will enjoy the scenery more than anything. 

This the the true Gardens by the Bay, check out the view behind. I'm not sure if there's any attractions coming up next. We spent almost four hours in this place, not including Flower Dome yet. I shall keep Flower Dome in the next post then.

Stay tune!

Brand New Look

Do you like my new blog layout? I've been using the previous blog template for two years, and was thinking to dress it up with a new look. Searching high and low, filtering template by template, finally chose this polka-dot. This time round, I prefer simpler design and try to avoid the same old black colour. 

I actually spotted a few but after try it on, I personally like the simplicity and the look and feel of this design. Credit to OhhAeen for this beautiful design, hope to see more templates from her. Even the little cursor can be changed :D

Hope this brand new look give me more motivation to write... No more excuses huh. 

Say good-bye to the old look, and...

Welcome the new look...

I'm a happy girl now.

2012.2012

While everyone is throwing party to "celebrate" the end of the world, i stayed home and... write. People always says live like as if your last day in this world, so that we will treasure every moment and be thankful.What if tomorrow is the real 'end of the world'? Wow.. this is really one good question to think of! 

Well, end of the world is coming, don't tell me that you gonna speed along the highway and think that AES not gonna snap your photo anymore. I believe some people who are adventurous will do that, but I'm categorized as an introvert and a conservative one. So, I prefer to spend quality time with people who matters to me the most. My family, my besties, and my love.

Maybe the movie '2012' had successfully brainwashed our mind. Don't you think it is scary that all the living things will gone in a day, or maybe just in seconds. By thinking about it, I think this is super scary, and what's next? We are not gonna evolve into angel and fly around with our angel stick right? We will find out the answer when it really happens!

Today, with a super nice date @ 2012.2012. Together with our supplier, we hanged out for Christmas lunch. My boss keep stressing : "we have to feast before the world ends!" And here you go, ta-daaa... 

On this very special day 2012.2012 

when we still alive, 

still able to love, 

to give and to bless.

Tell your love notes before it's too late :P

Happy 2012.2012!

What is your dream?

A random person asked me this question not long ago. I stunt a while and start thinking… This is a very good question to ponder because often we’ve been too busy and we forgotten what are we fighting for. Few years back, my dream is that someday I can have my own business which I will have enough to help those who in need. They call it social entrepreneur. I also dreamt that I will have the chance to travel around the world, to learn different language, to learn different culture. My dream is that one day I will be able to support my family for a better living. I have so many dreams back then, that I almost forget now.

Nowadays, despite working and meeting friends, I personally feel that I’m not moving forward either. Is that the life that I really want for the rest of my life? That’s when this question really strikes me! It is not fun to have something serious to think about, but it is crucial to have that in mind as I really do not want to regret in the future. My target for 2013 should be steps that will bring me closer to my dreams. Isn’t it?

As days passed by, and now is already the end of 2012. Can you imagine that in 23 days time we will be welcoming 2013? (if the end of the world is not here yet, :P) Every year end I will sigh because the time has been so cruel to me. But still, looking back the target which I’ve set early this year, I’m quite happy that at least I achieved some of my target this year. *proud*

Think again. What do you want to achieve in life?
