Personally, I feel that Singapore is a great city to stay in, on one condition that if you are rich. You can get anything you want, world class services, tastes from all over the world, high quality and security of life in this  Urban oasis , as our PM has previously referred our Singapore as. You work like a dog in the day, and if you get paid well, you will be fed well too. Work hard play hard, not so much so a dead city by the night like Australia or Canada with shops closed by 5pm, but in contrast, a vivid and lively night life awaits for you in Singapore. As long as you have the money. And in a place like this with full of temptations, it's hard to not be pragmatic and materialistic as much as we wouldn't want ourselves to become one. The well furnished houses, the fanciful jewelries, almost everything around us comes with a price tag. And it's not easy to talk about living with no desires as if we are surrounding by coconut trees on a deserted island. Maybe tha...

1. Talking to a precious friend and watch them smile. 2. Step out of the door and greet by cooling breeze. 3. Receiving a kiss and a hug before bidding Goodbye. 4. Lying on the bed, anytime. 5. Taking a hot water bath after sweating. 6. Wake up before 9 and feeling refreshed to start a new day. 7. Bus 48 comes just as I step out of Tenah Merah Mrt. 8. Seeing a snail on the ground moving. 9. Drag myself out for a long and slow jog at night with Tuna. 10. Hit the gym. 11. Doing yoga with a peaceful mind. 12. Looking into the mirror and looking good feeling good. 13. Watching talent shows over again and share their joy of recognisation by the audience. 14. Watching Sponge bob square pants. 15. The feeling of falling asleep at night.

Clearly this afternoon at the airport is a unproductive one. Instead, I gathered a few thoughts on things to do after finals. :'D 1. Photoshoot at Botanics garden in the day. When the Sun shines bright and high. 2. Finish Ginny's Inferno that I stole and put by my bedside months ago. 3. Bokeh photography at Helix bridge at night. When the Moon rose. 4. Start collecting NanoLegos, search for the cheapest offers possible. . 5. Do a sketch of Singapore's skyline on a peaceful afternoon with a cup of Tea.

1. Just because someone tells you they love you it doesn't mean they do. 2. There is no such things as 'I can't live without you.' Everyone can, and will, and have to eventually. 3. Do not fall for someone who make you feel you feel worthless and never good enough. 4. Fall in love with someone who is kind even to strangers. 5. Don't make promises unless you are sure to keep it, but most of the time you won't. 6. Love is about to end when one stops giving in and compromise to the other. 7. Fall in love with someone who doesn't make you his world but show you the world. 8. Nobody is perfect or ideal, but you made them to be while you are in love with them. 9. The only time is now, do not wait, there is no 'natural will take its course' if you don't make it happen. 10. Do not quarrel over texts, or phone calls, meanings get distorted, and usually worsen through those waves. 11. Do not be afraid to live life alone, it can be as fu...

Together with ongoing downpours for the past few days right after weeks of unbearable heat, November knocked and in other words, the finals for yet another quick but fulfilling semester is on its way. At one look it may seems like another mandatory semester with repetition of submitting assignments, projects and receiving back the not-surprising average / below average grades, but I did came across a few enlightening readings that interest me. :) And it occurred to me that as much as we have all these idealistic Utopian concepts and goals we want to achieve, as human beings we are always flawed and theories are ultimately just to boast to the world that we are working towards something, it might plant a seed into people's mind that breeds hope, but as I dive deeper into the society, everything just get darker with no exception. And as much as I want to stop looking at the world in the deeply stigmatized way, it's rooted so deeply in my life that I myself is repeating reproducin...
