Random shots of Singapore

This little work of art in front of the Fullerton Hotel has undoubtedly defeated the majesty of the magnificent hotel at its background.

A boat ride through a calm river in a busy city..

Trying damn hard to get myself grounded on reality!

It has been a while since I've last said "hi" to anyone at all. So here goes... Hi everyone! I'm back! Well I wouldn't say exactly that I'm back heart, mind and soul coz I somehow think that I'm still not totally back here. I've been pretty far from reality these past few weeks. I so want to blame it all on the "end" of all my classes. To make an outburst, "This is so !@#$% great that I can start to enjoy myself!!!" Well, I did kind of enjoyed myself too much til I flew away from reality for a while. I wanted to start my blogs on my simulated teaching thingy but as soon as my last class ended, I started a movie marathon! A few days after that, I went on a vacation to Singapore. It was really fun! I felt totally like a new person there, without any worries at all. It's as if I was a spirit looking at people rushing here and there without any smiles on their grumpy faces. But I could for once sit there, look at them, and smile...wow. I was in heaven! One thing I will never forget bout this trip is one instant when a tourist asked for my mum and I to pose for a picture. lol. We were like holding an umbrella somewhere near Esplanade and this stranger wanted to take out pic! haha. I was there in Singapore for 4 days. And now here am I, sulking that I am back here facing reality-the exams coming up soon! gosh. I so don't wana study yet. I'm still in my vacation mood... but what can I do? This is life... I want so much to start my simulated teaching blog already but looking at my mood after raging through my notes on Confusianism, I doubt that it will be a wise thing for me to write it now. I will most probably just swear all my way through and that's so not my experience of the simulated teaching class! So for those who are reading this (I doubt there's any...LOL), I'll be getting back to u guys after my exams! Ciao!

Welcome...to myself!

A hearty welcome to myself! I have stopped blogging here for ages! Been posting up my blogs at xanga instead cuz i have no idea how to 'decorate' my page here..til like yesterday when I figured out it's not dat difficult to set things up here after all. I think it's somehow cooler then xanga. So going to start posting here instead. It has been a pretty dizzying week last week. Had to either pass up an assignment or present something every week! Phew! But this week is a lot better. I only have two more assignments to hand in and they are only due next week. And today's my last profi class! Hooray! Talk about freedom! lol. But the sad thing is the Listening Test on Wednesday. Sigh... I bet it's a sure flunk for me, but at least I gotta make it flunk nicely. :p But there are some nice things to look forward too though. Like, I'm going to start swimming again! (yeap, gotta start to slim down again. Not my new year resolution though). Basically, that's my week! XoXo

....Miracles

WHY, who makes much of a miracle?

As to me, I know of nothing else but miracles,

Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,

Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,

Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,

Or stand under trees in the woods,

Or talk by day with anyone I love, or sleep in the bed at night with anyone I love,

Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,

Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,

Or watch honey bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,

Or animals feeding in the fields,

Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,

Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright,

Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;

These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,

The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.

To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,

Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,

Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,

Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.

To me the sea is a continual miracle,

The fishes that swim--the rocks--the motion of the waves--the ships with the men in them,

What stranger miracles are there?

Walt Whitman (1856)
