Life is a maze. It is unrelenting with confusing series of pathways. No one can ever avoid the twist and turn of the routes. It’s one of those puzzles where you go on one end, and surprisingly end up in another. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to get through, sometimes you’re stuck on a dead end full of disappointment. So you try another, sometimes backtracking in an effort find the correct route. But most of the time, you are lost in the middle of nowhere….

Some say most left-handed are totally into arts and are very creative. Absolutely right! Instead of dribbling the ball to put my 189cm height into good use, I chose to nurture and hone my innate (at least that’s what i think) skills in design. Marketing myself has always been a relentless trait. Allow me to present you, a 21-year-old undergraduate production 2005 — “The Grand Opening”

“It’s that time of year again when florist make more money in three days than they normally do in three months. When you put your lactose intolerance aside and enthusiastically accept chocolates from your boyfriend like it’s the most creative gift on earth. A time when you willingly pay a ridiculous amount of money to sit in a crowded restaurant to stare into each other’s eyes while trying to ignore the 20 other couples doing the exact same thing. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. A wonderful time for those in love.” …

For Chinese people, the Lunar New Year that falls on Jan26 will be a great occassion to reflect on what they have achieved in the past year as well as to make a wish for the year to come.

As for all who work away from home, reunion with loved ones in the Lunar New Year holiday is the best, or one of the best, remunerations for all the hardships that have been endured during the year. Bringing money and gifts home to aged parents and young children is the greatest …

Same old words, time flies. Another year awaits for us! But, having to think about it.. Have you achieved what you’ve planned for 2008? No? If it is regarding work or better pay? Then too bad. As recession is coming to town. Indeed it has already arrived at your doorsteps. This year, Christmas is never that merry.. for most people. Why? Because “Recession is Coming to Town”. So, sing along…

“November should be the month, but why he is not out yet?” she questioned worriedly. Day after day.. excitement became restlessness. “Until one fateful day, a big moth landed on my belly and you came to the world hours later,” she told me.
Her statements put me in deep thoughts. Am I “Liang San Puo” (from Chinese literature Lovers) reincarnated? Nope, they turned to butterflies, not moth! Am I an immortal from the moth clan who got reincarnated due to wrongdoings? Perhaps, I watched too much Chinese fairy tales. All unrealistic …

Lots to share lately. Life is definitely enjoyable for me recently. Although no tiring work everyday, rushing here and there meeting people can also be quite tedious. After meeting with friends, this time I’ve made myself available for one’s closest friends, FAMILY.

Met up with my 3rd uncle’s family in Johor Bahru, Malaysia for a nice dinner and chat.. it is almost one year I didn’t see them. Then, a day after (yesterday).. had a gathering with my 1st …

Still remember my previous post “Life Before Banjarmasin, Singapore”, mentioning about my old bunch of friends, here they are… the two photos above.

Ya, it was my favorite day again yesterday, Wednesday. This time it’s not because I’m having off day on Wed (by the way, I’m having my day off everyday now for 26days.. haha), it is because I’ll be able to join the weekly gathering in Singapore. Din see them for almost 3 months, we have lots to chat. This time we made …

It’s Wednesday again. And as a promise to myself, I got to come out with a post. But I have lots of stuff to share after not writing for so long previously.. and it’s hard for me to decide which to write first. Finally I’ve decided to write in parts.
In the previous post “1st Anniversary for Not Writing“, I did mention about my new job with a Dutch company. My life changed a lot since then. Joined this company since March 26, 2008. I was allocated straight away to a …

Well, I’ve promised myself to write on every Wednesday (my off day). And coincidently, it falls on the big day for Indonesia. The New Year for the Muslims, Idul Fitri. Guess I’m at the right place at the right time. This was the shot I’ve got yesterday night around 11pm.

Oopss.. not this. It was so happening yesterday. That’s the first time I saw so many locals strolling and gathering along the street. Everybody was so happy to welcome the new year. The shopping malls were …
