Shopping

Been a long time since I blogged eh. Well comparing the amount of free time I have during holidays, nto blogging for two days somehow seems pretty long isn't it? Anyway been busy either with my report or simply... Lazy to blog haha "throw face"

Anyway these days been pretty alright. Let me see Monday went to eat out with my sis at my favourite porridge shop. And then at night went to eat out with my cousins and my sis and her friend!

And I love this cousins outing thingy. Been such a long time since we went out together. Well can't blame either cause we have all moved on to our own ways right? So yeah. But anyway loved the outing last night cause I went to... Take pictures! Thanks a lot Facebook for not allowing me to to upload them.

As for today... Went to cut my hair and love it heh. A bit too short but I love short hair right. And then my sis went to do creambath as well hehe. And after cutting our hair? We...

Went to shop!

We went to this place called Brasco. It's a place that is one hour drive from my hometown and it's freaking cold there haha, even colder than my hometown. Anyway we ate dinner there and we also went to shop! (Well the restaurant we ate is beside the shopping place)

Quite satisfied with the shopping. Bought 4 clothes and one long pants. Wanted to look for a short pants but failed heh. The design is a bit weird so decided not to buy any. But well the shirts I bought are nevertheless nice hehe.

Oh, and I took some awesome shots too today!

Anyway that's all for today. Tomorrow's gonna be exciting cause I'm going for a reunion with my primary school friends back here! Oh well I really miss them and miss those primary school days. Wonder hwo my friends will look or change haha. Seems like yesterday when I saw them in school. I wonder hwo they are now...

I guess this is the cons of being a foreign student. Since young.

Garden

Today was another awesome day hehe. I went to that plot of land that my father bought for gardening thingy. Since I went there at night on Monday, I could not get to see much things right so today was an eye opener to me. I really love it there.

The place there was quiet and peaceful. There was not a lot of cars present. It is located somewhere like in the countryside. You have to go to like some far places to go inside it so of course there was not much traffic right.

Imagine yourself in some place. Quiet, peaceful with the wind blowing against your face. The sky was a bit blue too. I wanted the sky to be like extremely blue... But there was just patches of blue sky. Nevermind, I took some nice shots today anyway.

You know what... I really don't mind living that lifestyle. Gardening... Doing interactions with the locals... Getting and tasting my fruit of labour... It's really awesome eh, as compared to that. Yeah, to that.

Anyway my sister is coming back here tomorrow and I'm going to follow my mum to fetch her. Cause after that we're eating Bumbu Den which I really love hohoho. And anyway just wanna accompany my mum. She always went to fetch me alone so maybe yeah it's good for me to repay her kindness hehe.

Alright that's all for today. Hope the days are getting better and better. I have a feeling it will though cause we already have plans of where to go when my sister is here. And I'm still wondering and anticipating of the trips that is currently on-going... My cousins wanna go to the beach but my aunt is afraid of the tall waves so yeah. Anyway, lets hope it's gonna be confirmed!

I miss my childhood days. The days I have so much more freedom.
PS: Blogger is screwed. Can't upload pictures so no picture today! :P

Hope can do it more often hehe

Firstly, it is freking cold out here haha. Well just like Singapore it's been raining here everyday so far. And it rained in the evening so at night, it gets pretty cold out here. Well sometimes I wish Singapore can bet his cold like everyday. Then I don't need aircon anymore haha.

Anyway today was a great day. It's my mum's birthday! So happy birthday mum hehe. And I also went out with my cousins. We were supposed to go photography hunting but thanks to the rain we didn't get much. So at the most we went to eat at this place where they sell round tofu balls. It's super delicious. Imgine a round tofu hehe.

I'm also pissed... Becuase I went to develop pictures in my lomo and you know what? The guy didn't develop ALL of the pictures. And those not developed are nice pictures. So what the heck right. Thank God I asked for a CD so I can see all the pictures.

And the worst part is that the guy has a lack of skill in developing pictures. How can I get double exposures when I don't even do that. And some pics were not cropped perfectly as well. I'm feeling really unhappy... Thought the pictures will turn out great but yeah.

But anyway some of the pictures turned out really nice so yeah. I'll be uploading it on facebook. And I can't wait to take really really nice shots of my hometown. Hopefully I can go out again with my cousin, just walk around my town to take shots of people.

Last night I went out with my father to this place. He bought a plot of land near the mountain. And he wanan start a gardening business! Awesome or what. The place is nice too, and again I can't wait to go there and perhaps take some nice shots.

Alrighty that's all for today. Hope my holiday will get better and better just like today. More things to do yeah! See ya

I don't know why I felt that tinge of awkwardness just now

Back at home

Hello peeps! I'm back at my hometown now. Very very cold here. Was welcomed by my three dogs and they are super cute! One climbed onto me and he's the heaviest one. Goshh.

Anyway the flight and everything was alright. Got to take some nice pictures as I got the window seat. Pictures uploading soon.

Met my sis and we had dinner with my bro and one of my maid. Very very delicious dinner yeah...

Anyway just a short post to update. I wanna rest now. See ya!

I pray and I hope and I wish for a great holiday :)

Reunion

Need a great long break. And I can sense its presence.

Japan? Nope, Chinese Garden haha!

Woohoo, I love today haha. It's a great day cause I went out with some of my secondary school friends! It's like a reunion so I love it. Plus, the weather was awesome too. What else can we get. Great weather, great company. What a bliss.

Anyway met Tacy and Sharon (or also known as my studying group, cause we used to go out and study together before Os) at IMM. We went there and TALKED a lot. Like seriously a lot haha. Sharing our experiences, our lives (now that we're in poly and JC) and we had lots of fun. Took tons of pictures with my lomo too.

It's been such a long time since we meet up again. I remembered those days where we would meet at Jurong Library to study together. Doing TYS, doing worksheets and exam papers. And now we meet again at Jurong, in IMM. What a co-incidence huh.

After having lunch with them, headed to West Coast Park to meet Adeline, Jeslyn, Wei Qi, Chew Huan and Meng Fung. Met Neal halfway to look for film first haha. Thank god I bought another film cause...

The weather was awesome~

Played kites there, first time flying kites. It's quite a lovely experience and it's been a long time since I fly kites haha. There was a man who taught me how to fly it properly too. and judging from the way he taught me, he's a pro. Thanks stranger man! Haha

Played at the playground a while. It was so funny haha, listening to MF screaming so loudly! And after that we went to Sumo for dinner. Yum yum. And then home sweet home.

Well I'll be flying off tomorrow for my holiday and be back next next Sunday. Yup that's before school reopens. Hopefully my holiday this time will even be a more fruitful one! And somehow somewhat I have the feeling that it will be. Cause my girlfriend is going home with me mwahaha. Time to take more pictures.

Alright gotta pack tonight and I'm feeling really tired so wanna sleep early. See ya all and have a great holiday! :D

Passing by my secondary school today. And a flood of memory rushed in.

Sweden, oh Sweden

I wish I could feel freedom everyday.

Exactly 365 days ago, I was in Sweden enjoying its summer. Its cold wind blowing over my face. It's rain showering my body with its droplets as cold as ice. I was in Sweden with my sister. In Professorslingan. The place where I stayed.

And I miss it sooooo much.

I really really miss it.

Last year felt like yesterday. I could still remember those days, where I was so stressed when settling with my Schengen Visa. Those days where I would come back to United Square just to complete my visa application.

Then come that day, where I received my Visa on my passport. It was one of the happiest day of my life. I went straight to book my flight and just get so excited to go to Sweden!

And finally that day, 11th June, was the day where I went to Sweden, on my own. I could still remember how lost I was in Thailand for a transit. And how happy I was in my flight, even though I was deprived from sleep and it was a night flight.

And as I arrived... I was the happiest man on Earth. Finaly I arrived in a country out of Southeast Asia. I met my sister and she took me to a train ride to her place. I could still remember the route and everything. The look of the train, the majestic T-Centrallen.

Norway was next. I couldn't wait for it either. I remember how early we left house for Norway. With only my Crumpler and my sis' backpack we headed for the airport. Norway is a beautiful country. Its fjords are breathtaking. Its view are amazing. Everything was nice.

I remember the mid-summer festival where we went to Vaxholm, The small islan on the Swedish archipelaego. How sunny it was, and how crowded it was. Where it suddenly rained a hailstorm and we were there laughing and mystified by our first hailstorm.

And that's when I lost my sweater.

And the day I hated finally came. The day I have to return back to Singapore. It was really a sad thing to do. I remember having no appetite at all during lunch. I could not finish my lunch and it was really sad. The feeling. The one week I had was never enough. And I know.

I am always hungry for more.

It's been a year since I went to Sweden and Norway. It's been 365 days since I missed its splendour and grandeur. It's been a year since I've been to (so far) the most beautiful country I have ever visited. And I know, and I promise that I would return again some day.

My trip taught me something which I learnt just last night. Last night before I slept, I remembered that yesterday was the day I reached Sweden a year ago. I felt this sudden gush of sadness running inside me. I don't know why but I just felt sad. Perhaps it's the memory, perhaps it's something else.
And that something else is what I called:

Taste of freedom.

In that one week where I was in Norway, I have never felt so much freedom in my life. Imagine this. Two people travelling in a country they didn't know. No one bothering, only the map could help. I felt so much freedom and so much thrill. It is really an amazing feeling. No knowing where to go and taking the risk just to go to places we want to see.

From the trip I learnt. I learnt that one should not waste the taste of freedom. Freedom to me is one of the most valuable things in life that one could posess. Of course, health is above all else. But freedom is powerful. It's more powerful than money, it's more powerful that happiness. For without freedom, you may not get all this things.

Sigh I'm really emo right now. Because I am really sad and despaired to know what lies ahead of me. A 10 day holiday with reports and projects accompanying me. I hope and I wish that soon. Another of that dream holiday would come to me.

And as I said in my Sweden trip post last year.

I promise I would return to this country once more.

It's over :D

Lights off! I'm really tired

Alrighty! MST is over so time ro unwind, relax and chill. Chill out, de-stress and everything haha. And thanks to my awesome class DBS 1A02 I got everything I need today! Cause we (well most) went to Sentosa to have tons of fun. Love it hehe.

So after our Maths paper we went to Harbour Front. Had a nice lunch together at the sky park and then we headed to the beach! Played some games there and took lots of pictures. Retarded ones, funny ones, great ones and more haha. But I had fun! Was their paparazzi for the day haha.

Vivan, Michelle, Bei Xi and Nivedha went home while the rest went to Vivo Sky Park to eat again. It's by the view of the sea! So it was great. And we talked a lot. I realised how much we (our generation) have all grown up now :)

Anyway we headed home after that. My bus took such a long time to arrive.. Reached home at 1030. Whew.

The MSTs for this week was alright I think. I would like to thank Candy and wei ping for spending our time studying together! totally loved it. Our hard work pays yeah. Hope we can see it in our results :D

Righto, time to go and have a great rest. See ya!

Oh dear, I just realised World Cup has started an hour ago
