Picnic in the Park

From Lucky Plaza to Orchard Mrt Park to the Botanic Gardens...
Constantly striving to better themselves... These ladies have come a long way
oh yeah Happy Birthday Charmaine!

Deserve Victory

Last stretch.... Hang in there folks! Good Luck to all those facing Public (Execution) Law tomorrow.

Life's Excesses

Almost everything we have in Singapore is imported...
Seeing containers stacked up to the sky is testament to the excesses of modern living

Night Drive

Cruising down the highway...
With Hooverphonic's cover of Shake the Disease...
Love this song

I'm not going down on my knees
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me

Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted
To each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before
That I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

My 2 Loves

My espresso machine and my Arsenal Mug... I would be so lost without em...
They are the perfect pair. One keeps me up in the wee hours of the morning whilst the other is the reason for me being up in the wee hours of the morning...

Public Law Notes

Liz... Using my public law readings as a pillow. Putting them to much better use than me..

Meditations...

People ask "Have you ever seen the gods you worship? How can you be sure they exist?"
Answers:
i. Just look around you.
ii. I've never seen my soul either. And yet i revere it.
That's how I know the gods exist and why I revere them,
from having felt their power, over and over.

- Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 12.

Alone... is not loneliness

My take on Edward Hopper's Automat... Inside out

A Dog's Life

Wanna swap places? I wouldn't mind...

Stressed?

Dedicated to all those who are currently living under the tyranny of the upcoming exams... Don't give up... Find two twits to give you a back rub, put on your thinking cap and scream if you have to.

Stairway

Conduit from darkness to light

HCM City Museum, Vietnam

Concrete Jungle, Urban Nature

In the concrete jungle I inhabit
I desperately search for Nature
I look for stars not just in the sky
But wherever they may appear

Always there. Always appreciated?

What else do we leave out alone in the cold dark night? After having selfishly received their love and support.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. 

Day Dreaming

Sitting in my room, gazing out of my window...
I am here, but my mind is elswhere...

Halong Bay, Vietnam

Choices...

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.

Choose your future.

Choose life.

The Economist

This post is really breaking with tradition, albeit a very short tradition, of having a photo for every post.
" Having stepped on to the world stage as a figure who impressed by his good looks and athletic prowess, he abandoned it in a state of deliberately publicised enfeeblement and pain. This sent two signals, both hard to understand except in the context of the highest Christian ideals: first, that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness , and second, that death is merely the gateway, never to be feared, to a different and more abundant life. These messages can sound repulsive on thel lips of a person who is materially and physically secure, preaching to people who are neither. John Paul seemed vulnerable enough to speak with integrity, whether or not you agreed with him"

- The Economist, April 9th 2005, Pg 9

P.S. Further incriminating evidence of me reading everything but public law and trust law stuff... disappointing.

Lesson from Angkor

I am really pathetic. I know that I have to plonk my well padded ass down on my well cushioned chair and do some studying, if not, I'll probably get a G- for my Public Law paper. But no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to find the will power, the fighting spirit. All I feel like doing now is to crawl on my bed and sleep or go shoot a round of golf. I wish I had half the determination and drive that this little boy possesed. He followed me up a 6 story high Angkor Temple, which I had to carefully tip toe up cos my feet were too damn big, just to sell me a cheap coconut husk bracelet that costs less than $0.50. And on top of it all, he did it with a big smile on his face. That is determination. That is the drive that I so lack. Maybe its because I have never known hunger, or never known poverty.

Side Slip Tester

Have you ever felt that you were slipping and sliding? Spinning hopelessly out of control. Feeling as if your life has gone off track. Perhaps you had hoped for a guiding light, a constant, to bring you back on track. But what is the "right track"? Who determines what is the right path for us? Is it for us to decide? Or do we simply leave it to "fate" or other "forces"? How much power do we have to dictate the path that we take? Sometimes it is so hard to tell if we are slipping off track or that the "track" is windy and uneven...

Ally goes to the doctor

Spent a good part of the day getting Ally fixed...Wheel Alignment then Road Test, Wheel Alignment then Road Test AGAIN, Check Shocks and Suspensions then Road Test AGAIN, Rotate tires then Road Test AGAIN....Check Rims then guess what?? ROAD TEST AGAIN!!! Sighs this is the last time I'm ever gonna fit 18inchers on my car again.... Unless of course my next car is a M3, Ferrari, Alfa GTA, Porsche Carrera, Skyline GTR... =D

Moments....

There are some moments that you wish you could freeze forever... And you foolishly try to capture these moments, not realising that it is impossible to do so... Failing to see that such moments should be enjoyed when they appear... Perhaps the best cameras are our hearts and our soul for only they can capture our emotions and replay them with such famliarity...

Candice

By special request, for somebody who's been shamelessly bugging and harrassing me for her 5 seconds of fame on my blog. TADAH! hahahaha

Requiem...

One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And Death shall be no more, Death, thou shalt die...
I mourn the passing of the Pope, not just a man of God but a man of courage, a man who fought for his beliefs and above all, a Good Man.

Last Nawaz Cup of the Year

Showdown... The Last Nawaz Cup of the year. What does it all mean? It means that the ugly monster will be rearing its big fat head soon for its bi-annual appearance. And no, I'm not referring to anyone that you know or anyone in Law School (not even Winslow). The monster is none other than the bloody exams that are just round the corner.
