New Beginning

It’s been more than a month since my last post. Honestly speaking, ever since my transfer to the inpatient team, I have had less time in front of the computer at work. Even if I was in front of the computer, it will be the constant scrambling for art and craft that I can possibly bring to the wards to do. Then once I am home, I am just too plain lazy to start blogging. While I have decided a long time ago that this blog is a place only for happy memories, sometimes I do feel writing only about the positive things can get boring.  Besides, my life seems to be getting mundane too…

Since my return from my Japan trip, my interest in photography has been strengthened. Perhaps it’s because of me borrowing my Boy’s DSLR that made me enjoy more the beauty of my work (not that I’m any good). Perhaps it is also the lovely scenery of Japan itself that inspired me to want to do better. Either way, nevermind the heavy load I had to carry every day, I was excited to capture more scenes on ‘film’.

With that, I guess it comes with a heavy heart that I have somewhat decided to stop blogging here. Since my poly school days, 8 years since I first started out, this is actually my first intention to stop writing. It’s not that I do not love writing, I do, and I’d never thought I’ll ever stop blogging. In fact, it serves as a good place for me to store my happy memories, take stock of what have happened in my life, and read how my thoughts and writing styles have change with time. When I read back on what I’ve written all these years (actually 6 only for this blog), I can’t help but laugh at myself. What a silly little girl I was! But I guess with time, I’ve learnt to grow and mature, and I’ve learnt to discover what I enjoy and treasure in life.

I will still write, but much less. I have decided to focus more on taking pictures, and to focus more on Photo Travellist. More pictures (hopefully), less words. I may still write once in a while when inspiration beckons. But till then, I shall let my lens do the speaking…

Time to tidy up  and organise my photo library, get my flickr back on track, and perhaps invest in a better camera.

I’m gonna be broke!

Yokoso Japan!

After the disasters happening in Japan, we are still going ahead with our trip, albeit with major adjustments and much frustrations… But the day is finally here, as I hope we can travel and enjoy there in peace =)

With: Bingrong & friends
When: 31st March – 8th April

Another Year and Counting

In the blink of an eye, the Boy and I are celebrating our 3rd year together. However, I had the misfortune of falling sick on the same day as my anniversary…

As such, we decided to keep it simple by having lunch at Rocky Masters and dinner at Blue Mountain Restaurant.

And the Boy, knowing how much I like Fossil watches, bought me one as a gift! =)

My very special and unique watch! Love it to the max =)

At River AngBao

Our yearly affair continues with a trip down town…

Thankfully our decision to head there on the weekday proved to be a good one as we didn’t have to squeeze with the crazy Singaporean crowd…

You and me…

With our zodiacs yet again. But it seems like this rabbit year isn’t very good for us… *Cross our fingers!*

Florals @ Sentosa

(Short & sweet posts coming up due to my laziness and lack of time…)

As part of our yearly affair (if the exhibition is on), the Boy, his family, and I made our way to the sunny island of Sentosa to capture some flowers on camera. And with the newly opened broadwalk available now, we decided to head there on foot.

Lovely blues means super sunny hot!

And then, it was time for flower mania!

Our usual shots with our chinese zodiac. Squeak!

‘Photo shoots’ of me…

My shots of some of the exhibits. From top to bottom, left to right: Huge Bunny, Purple Cosmos, Lone Flower and Opuntia “Bunny Ears’ Cactus! (The last one was pretty much capturing the attention of most people. But who could blame them when they look really adorable! Never knew such plants existed.)

And lastly, couple pictures of us! I have to say though that the volunteer photographers there did quite a lousy job… (All because they are hoping you would purchase their photos instead!) Oh well… Next up, River Angbao!
