Visit to the giant tortoise

The Kusu island trip wasn't that bad afterall...

We set off on a ferry leaving the busy city behind. The city view from the sea was quite pretty. It was quite different from the view in changi or tanah merah.

And then we reached this little island. This is taken with Chee Kiong's 1.4k dollars camera. Haha. So niceWe managed to convince Yuwen that she was the only one who has never visited the island before. Haha. Anyway, Chee kiong told us Kusu Island is actually tortoise island. A giant tortoise that came to Singapore to stay.
And we proceeded to the wishing well. We happened to have a few pockets full of coins and I think we threw everything in. hahaha. It was said that your wish would only come true if your coin hits one of the bells, and I got it on my first try! The only problem was I didn't know what I wished for.

In a few hour's time.... I'll be setting off to Kusu island

Where the hell is that??????

Having a little sleeping problem now

Gim Yong once told me that if we don't sleep enough, we'll incur a sleep debt.

So probably that was why I became a hardcore sleeper in year 1 and 2. I would sleep anywhere. First, it began in class when the lecturer was talking about thermodynamics. Then I would skip classes to sleep in my hall. Sometimes I sleep so much that I would forget the meals.

Now to think of it, I slept through most movies I watched with my ex. But probably that's because we had a tendency to watch boring movies.

And at night, I would have no problem falling asleep even though I sleep that much. That's about erm... 10 to 18 hours of sleep time everyday???

Then in year 3 and 4, I suddenly find that I'm not able to sleep that much. I would wake in the middle of the night or I'll not sleep for one whole day. Is that because I used up my sleep??? hahaha....

Might be a good thing though

DnT conference 2008

For those in the know, our booth at the DnT conference was a success. Here are some pretty pictures of our pretty things

This is the miniature campfire with Paper brick wall

WG and me looking very happy and accomplished

Haha... So glad that we did this exhibition. It didn't matter to us that we were probably the simplest looking booth, or the youngest vendors on that day. I think we left the good impression all the same.

Really glad to be working towards a goal in a great team

Already Happier

I'm rediscovering joy in things that I used to do but haven't been to doing them because of various reasons.

I started playing badminton and squash and I lost every single match, but I'll feel refreshed after the games.

I started playing basketball again and i found that it's really fun to work in a team. Everytime my team scored, i'll feel good even if i'm not the scorer, cos I have contributed somehow..... i think.

I'm talking to many of my old friends and I'm glad they still remember me.

I listen to songs in the 90's and they bring back lots of sweet memories. MLTR always remind me of Hai sing NPCC... the strongest ECA back then. I can still remember the NPCC room, the smelly basement, the rifles and the chicken rice. Yup... that plate of oily chicken rice... and the oily aunty.

I miss hanging out with my talk cock buddies till the wee hours. Something that's increasingly difficult cos all of us are growing old and we need our sleep. But it's still fun to have it once in a while.

I miss writing stories on my blog... and I'm going to try doing that again

About people

It has never been this painful, but I think experiencing pain is necessary in life. That's because there're lots of things you'll never know if you haven't experience pain. And I think I'm seeing things differently now.

I'm beginning to accept the harsh side of life. Everyone that's close to you would leave you someday, either by choice or by circumstances. There's no one to truly rely on, no bond that's forever and nobody who will always be there for you. And the sad fact is, the closer you are to someone, the more painful it's going to be for you.

But all of us need to feel close right? so how can that work if everyone is just going to part? It seems like we just have to learn to let go of people and then find new ones to invest our emotions in. And we do this over and over again so that it seems like our lives are filled with love and joy.

And then we forget the feelings we have for people who were there in our lives, because remembering them means we're not moving on.

That's how it is
