Life as a 'tai-tai'

2011-03-10T16:32:00.005+08:00

This is what I have been busy with....WAIT I am not suffering fromCCD (Cock Craving Disorder). It is part of my wedding planner job. More photos soon...explicit ones haha.

I love the mini-trolley NOT because I am short for the normal trolley.
For the gamblers to eat before they enter the casino. 6153 ? Share if you hit the jackpot
HAHAHA...sooo true!!!
The big hoo ha over standing at 57th storey to see the whole of Singapore. Big deal?
Fish & Chips @ MBS Hotel standard is bad. Can't beat the authentic Fish & Chips in OZ.
anticlockwise:Masatoshi, Natsuki, Aika (authentic Japanese kiddos)

Trying to live life as a 'tai-tai' ain't easy. I tried shopping but there isn't anything that I really fancy to bring it back home. I played mahjong but I can't tolerate to sit through the whole night to play. The only thing that I have been doing it well is having high-tea..at home haha.

Jade and Bianca - cousin's children

Hollyoak...brought back fond memories
Aunt's old house. Stayed there 6 years ago.
Not afraid of ghost...deliberately snap a pic with this telephone booth which is well-known to be haunted. It is right in front of Aunt Rosalind's house. I saw nothing and felt nothing...maybe it's too early.
Cousin Gordon
Another branch of Cicerello @ Mandurah

The lake is seriously pink but it is the soil that is pink.
The land of limestone rocks. How amazing these rocks appeared naturally.

Awesome fun sandboarding but not when you breathe and eat sand.
Haha... gonna remember this place. It is a meeting place.
Overview of Perth City at Kings Park

Adieu Australia

Sydney

2011-02-03T09:02:00.015+08:00

Sydney is good but it looks just like Singapore, filled with tourists. Blue-collar workers are mainly foreigners from Asia. I was lucky to meet friendly and helpful Ozzies. I made a few new friends from all over the world in Sydney. Argentina, Germany, American, England, Queensland, Armenia, China, Italy....etc
A toast to NO MORE SCHOOL and NO MORE WORK! A toast to a new beginning!!!
Alcohol is so damn cheap that the Government has to impose a law all over pavement to forbid Drunkards to ruin their city.
Left View outside my room window

Kings Cross Metro Station. Oh and the Happening Tunnel Club filled with dodgy people at night.
The 1 week Travel pass which includes BUS, METRO and FERRY - $41aud.
I like the double-deck metro. The only thing I hate is that they allow consumption of food and drink hence the metro is dirty and smelly at certain hours.

We should implement Diagonal Traffic Light to save time.
The first and last time to use the tripod stand on this trip. It doesn't help much anyway.
The famous St Mary Cathedral. The interior of the church feels totally like a real church. It motivates you to pray more....hmmOur first new friend - Antonia from Argentina. He is a banker and freelance photographer.

I had to take the ferry to visit the Theme Lunar Park.
Darling Harbour with no darling. FML!
The first full rainbow I had ever seen. It lasted for more than 15minutes.
Haha poor kid was pouting because everyone was happily admiring the rainbow but he was too short to see. I feel for you kid..tsk tsk.

Kissing Point Bay. I wonder if this bay was the meeting point for couples who wanted to kiss each other. Needless to say, I couldn't get off this bay because I do not have anyone to kiss. FML once again!
On the way to Blue Mountain. Honestly, I had no idea where this place is. I blindly followed the tour guide and as a typical Asian, snapped pictures of everything I see.
Unfortunately, the 3 sisters decided to act mysterious and hid behind the puffy mist. I had managed to see the full view of the 3 sisters for 3 seconds.
Although I didn't get to snap the full view of the 3 sisters, I took a picture with these '3 sisters' - new friends. An American, an Aussie and an Englishwoman. I dig the American woman with the hat. She is an awesome cougar. I reckon she looks exotic (pure white with Asian black eyes) that is why young men flocked to her.

Our new friends - '3 sisters' decided to hook us up with the guy operating the cable car. I like it!
THE beach...everyone is talking about it. THE BONDI BEACH where you see the coolest surfer, the hottest babe and the nude sun-tanners. Partially right.. I did see cool surfers, hot babes and 2 semi-nude sun-tanners but I saw many senior citizens don in their bikini as well. Hey, I didn't say it is a bad thing. I wish I could be like them when I hit 60.
Look at the surrounding...it was at 11am.
How cool is it to be swimming in a swimming pool beside the sea. The water in the pool is from the sea so it is not very clean. Forget about the goggles, cos I don't think you want to look into the water.

I pity the Despicable Me mascots. They were made to wear that mascot in such weather of 43 degrees. Weather aside, I was gleaming with joy when I stood beside them cos I am TALLER..woo hoo! Stop laughing if you are.
Look at the surrounding again. The beach was packed with people. They worship the SUN GOD. It was about 3pm. That explains why most of the skin cancer victims were Caucasians.

This is by far the best Fish Market in OZ.

You will never want to eat seafood in SG again. Worth the 1200 calories. Everything on this plate is 5 times the size of the ones in SG. Oh yes...the flour coated is flat screen.
Another new friend from Armenia but is now an Aussie. We looked like we are their adopted kids...ha!
Because we are scared of height...because we do not have the guts...because we are afraid it might rain suddenly, we chose to walk on the bridge instead of climbing the bridge. Okay fine...the truth is that we don't have spare cash ($200aud) to climb that over-rated bridge. It is JUST a bridge...like our Benjamin Sheares Bridge. Nothing great!
...and it is brightly lighted like a Christmas tree unlike our old boring white B.S.Bridge.
Another over-rated icon - Opera House. It looks slightly better when night falls. Don't even bother to take day shots. It looks like an old building with triangle shelters..that's all.

I took more ferry rides than taking the bus. The only way to get around places was by ferry. Imagine taking a ferry from PGL to SK...ha
Had to take the ferry to get to this Manly Beach. Another town on its own.
The last day in Sydney and it gave me another lovely full rainbow. Took it from my room window.
Haha..I shall be shameless and declare my love @ 1st sight. He is probably 18 from Europe. Okay, he doesn't look good in singlet. He caught my eyes that very night..woohoo
Our Branch @ Bondi Junction Safari Cafe. I know this picture doesn't show Bondi Junction or Safari Cafe. That's not the point. The main point is I took a picture with this cute Italian waiter who looks like Robert Pattinson. He looks way better in person. What the hell! I told him that he looks like Robert Pattinson and he told me I look like his friend from Malaysia! FML!!!

Domestic Airport is so updated. Self-check in machine to print your own boarding pass.
Check-in your bag machine. Everything is done by machines, human is not needed in this airport.
Boarding Gate.
The Krispy Kreme outlet at Sydney Airport is pathetic small. They don't sell anything else other than donuts. No beverages or collectibles.
Look at the amount of fluid intake I had to take to keep hydrated. Okay..the wine definitely didn't help.

Self-entertainment during the 5hours domestic flight with no personal TV screen.
Western Australia looks like Sahara Desert from up above.

2011-01-01T19:35:00.002+08:00

I happened to look at my mobile this morning and I saw 1111. Nice!
Okay this is the real Photo of Jan 1st 2011.

It feels like a dodgy road down Louisiana behind a Gas station.

2010-12-31T09:41:00.007+08:00

It is the last day of 2010. It is the end of a couple of things for me....

2010 is the end of SIM...
2010 is the end of MOE...
2010 is the end of CM (cult members)...
2010 is the end of useless so-called friends...
2010 is the end of misery...

May 2011 be a promising year for all!!!
Looking forward to 111111 [November 11,2011]

Flashback to all the happenings in 2010

My friend's bear dog - Makiro...So cute.

Finally...I won some. My luck is coming...woo hoo!

Sad that I'd covered 6% only

Looking out for a golden opportunity

A Picture speaks a 1000 words

2010-12-27T10:49:00.011+08:00

...so I shall do a photo blog post to fill the long hiatus starting from the most recent to the past.
I am exceptionally high on carbo potatoes this holiday...gotta cut the carbo before I turn into a Michelin.

my wig looks exceptionally shiny amongst the black hair group.

Attacking the seafood is the wisest decision anyone will do during an international buffet.

17th November

2010-11-17T07:32:00.005+08:00

Seventeenth November is the date which I really hate to remember but I can't seem to erase that. Every year on this date, it reminds me of a particular person whom I don't wish to remember. Thanks to my friend who shares the same birthday as him. Argh!

Anyways...it is 1 more day to 1 month of abstaining from cookies/biscuits. I tried very hard to abstain from potato chips but failed terribly. It is real tough to abstain from cookies especially when you see array of cookies on the table and 'evil' friends tempting you with cookies at work. I was used as the guinea pig to bake some plain biscuits at work yesterday. I was THAT close to give up on cookies abstain but I persevered..muahaha. Digress.... I managed to obtain the 'MOST SUSTAINABLE AWARD' for not eating in the canteen for the past 2 years. I am not stingy or trying to act Atas but canteen food never enticed me. Okay...I am a sucker for western food especially bread. I can eat bread for all meals IF it is not filled with carbohydrates.
Kneading the dough brought back memories of baking cheesecake.

Ban Ban Biggalow. From classmate to colleague. The world is small.

My very own Mickey Cookie.

I don't know why colleagues told me she looks like me (I DON'T THINK SO). They had to add that I should be happy since this poster girl is in her teens. WTH!

2010-10-21T18:25:00.006+08:00

I had finally bought a SLR Camera - Nikon D3100. Nothing beats a SLR camera. I ain't no professional photographer but I believe that the photographs taken by my Nikon are definitely gonna be better.
Look how sharp and clear the picture is. You can even see the crack-lines on the plastic

Macro shots are absolutely clear
Finally, night shots aren't gonna turn out disastrous.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone knows meetings are ALWAYS HUMDRUM and UNPRODUCTIVE when it doesn't concerns you. Colleague wrote our names on our bananas. I sincerely wanted to snap Rick's banana to show him that he had left his banana on the table. However, the picture turned out suggestive especially with that small slit HAHA. Now, the colleagues who sat near me deemed me as the wayward child. You can't blame me for my artistic perception of things around me.

Hazy days are back! Thanks to our neighbour.
The haze is quite bad. I can't see anything behind the MRT station. It looks like winter but feels and smells like I am burning in hell. Where is my GOD - Portable Air Con ?

View of the MRT station before the haze

View of the MRT station with the haze of PSI:108
I think I am gonna die of suffocation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11 days had past and the abstinence of biscuits is still going strong. Unfortunately, I ate chips after 6 days...Argh. It is tough to abstain from chips and junk food. I will be better off dead if I have to abstain from bread. Seriously, I don't know how I had managed to abstain from bread during the first 2 months of putting on braces. I have lost the will power. I hope I can hit my target of not eating biscuits for 1 month.

I have been pigging out...this suck!

Dear Diary,

Fortunately, you are an online diary or else you will be yellow and filled with dust.
My main purpose to blog today is because today marks a very special day 10.10.10 and also W's special occassion. What a pity that the woman standing beside him wasn’t me. 28 is the golden number to tie the knot. Most of the ex-classmates have a partner to share the bed with them. I can’t imagine myself sharing the bed with a guy for the rest of my life not unless it is T.C haha. T.C is my all-time favourite man who I am willing to sacrifice my life despite 15 years of age gap...woah! After 16 years of carrying a torch for him, he has finally know my existence. wahaha!

Another purpose of blogging is to remember the date of the Start of my new Abstinence list for at least a month.

1) Biscuits / Cookies
2) Potato Chips
3) French Fries

It is hard NOT to eat biscuits but no pain no gain.

Okay...I kinda miss wearing braces. Although it affects my speech but it did help in other ways. When will I ever hit the scale of 42kg again??? It's like almost impossible.

Laters!

Last day

2010-07-30T23:46:00.001+08:00

I shall Mark my last day of wearing braces. 7 months have past..come to think of it, it's not that bad having braces on. My office exceptionally has loads of people with braces on. The trend to wear them I guess. Finally I'm going to be out of the Braces Club. Woohoo!

Drowning my sorrow

2010-06-26T23:02:00.004+08:00

When the needle strike 12 tonight, I will be extremely down and depressed. This coming Monday will be a double depression for me. Same shit repeats its cycle again and my exam results will be out. How APPROPRIATE to fall on the same date. DOOMS day indeed!
Other than DOOMS day, I'm feeling down be cos another friend of mine is getting hitched. He is not an ordinary friend.
I have been drowning my sorrow every night for the last 3 nights.
Tonight will be VINHO DE MESA ROSE - Product of Portugal

As stated... Apart from the jumpy words, I think my handwriting is still able to decipher and not that incorrigible. That was for my American friend by the way. He is ambidextrous as well.

Alright...I found this in the box filled with old memories. Dated back in 1996 when I was in Sec 2. Some Chinese letter writing. That was crap! Wait till you read my sec 3 exam composition. HA HA HA!

Last but not least, I thought I should blog this courtesy from my American friend. I think this picture is hilarious because I told him I am gonna be his only Singapore Endangered Species friend.

Well, that's it. I am heading back to my depression. Probably pop some anti-depress pills.

FML!

D for depression

2010-06-25T13:30:00.001+08:00

It's the time of the year when I feel in total depression. I hate the feeling of heading back to work after a short break. As the days passed, I'm more determined to leave my job for something I will enjoy doing. Again, I had an argument with my Head. WTF is wrong with all these swines? They are totally obstacles to the society. Bollocks! ha

Results on Monday. Part of me feels nervous to see my grades n the other part has no reaction. I know I have to repeat FIN module. Stupid crap exam.
I need a miracle.

I have a few people who do not spell "it's". Their sentence would be something like "it model is canon 550d", "let go cycling". What the fuck! I cannot tolerate such english. Not that my English is good but this is basic English.

I am going to hypnotise myself n fall into a deep sleep...1...2...3

2010-06-24T21:15:00.002+08:00

English Breakfast from Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery
Tunisa Breakfast from Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery
Wasabi Prawns. Taste not too bad.
Chinese tea...thumbs down for me

We managed to clean the Art rooms, Store room and the Kiln room. We were shocked to see the mountain of rubbish. I take pity on the cleaners.

"LNC"

2010-06-17T10:06:00.007+08:00

So I went to "LNC" - LAND of NO CONTROL. It never failed to live up to its name of being "LNC". I was in a place where everyone is lazy, service is extremely below average and no one trust each other. I was already pissed from the start of the trip.

1st: There was a redundant long queue...just to scan all the luggage. However, if you carry a backpack or a gym bag, you are able to pass through without having your bag checked. Crap system!

2nd: Because of the redundant queue, there was a redundant jam to move off. Wasted 1 hour waiting.

3rd: My SO-CALLED 4 star hotel room is NOT ready at 5pm when I was supposed to check-in at 2pm. WTF!

4th: My triple-room sharing ended up with 2 single bed and a wheel portable bed instead of the normal 3 single beds or 2 twin and 1 single bed. Yes, the room is cramp.
4-star hotel with totally BARE fridge. Even our budget Hotel has a decent simple fridge.

5th: Every retail shop I go to has no stock in their goods. Everything seemed to be the last piece or no more. Double WTF!

6th: TV programmes were crap! Every show is in a foreign language which I cannot comprehend.

7th: I got cheated @ McDonald's. TRIPLE WTF!

8th: I had the worst japanese food ever in my entire life. Is this even Unagi? I had the whole bowl filled with not so sticky rice with loads of onion and egg and 3 pathetic lookalike Unagi. I appreciate SAKAE SUSHI now.

9th: The pathways are not walking-friendly. Theres potholes everywhere and VERY uneven. Luckily I did not wear my Gucci Shoes (haha) Of course, Traffic light is not exactly a very good instrument to trust. There were many not working traffic lights and the ones that are working....motorcyclists do not follow. whats the point of placing the traffic lights then?As the result, The only outdoor photograph decent and save enough for me to snap. 3/4 of my time was spent looking out for uneven paths, spit on the floor, rubbish, dirty water and of course the moving monsters on the road which can suddenly appear in front of you on a pedestrian path. YES I am deadly serious.

10th: The ultimate most annoying thing is the filthy wet public toilets. Oh! They have Premium toilets at upper class shopping malls but you have to pay a premium price. HA!

The only thing which lightened my horrible days was Krispy Kreme donuts and I finally bought the mug.

And we had the whole coach to ourselves.

First of May

2010-05-01T11:11:00.000+08:00

2010-03-15T08:56:00.003+08:00

Dear diary, it's been a while since I have time to spare to ponder about life.
Life has been quite hectic. Day in day out...work, school, work, school. Just completed 2 Indivial assignments - Financial stock market and Business Law. I didn't burn my fingers in financial stock market but I sure did burn my brain..like totally. I personally felt that Business Law is more productive. I have learnt all the techniques on how to file a lawsuit and how to get away without paying damages. Ask me for a tip if you ever get sued.....woah like real haha.

Anyways..here are the updates in pictorial form

Colleague's daughter 1 month old anniversary. The little cupcakes are soooo awfully cute. Can't bear to eat them. There are a wide varities of design. Good marketing strategy!

Justitia Mascot for 2010. Couldn't get the Luigi Bros costume to ship to Singapore in time, hence this is the low budget Lugi here. (Due to the numerous English essays and assignments, I can't help it but the word "hence" pop out almost naturally now)

All the way from Japan Hokkaido......thanks to Anthony

Finally, I have decided to open this goddess Red Wine product. I can now understand why Korean girls generally have flawless skins. Other than the weather factor, the facial products that they use are genuine stuff and good quality. The red wine sleeping pack definitely contain half a bottle of red wine. The smell is strong enough to knock you down :)
When will Singapore stop selling inferior goods??

_________________________________________________________________________

I hereby present to you our CREATIVE HUB WORK STATION which consists of the CREATIVE ART TEAM, CREATIVE DESIGN TEAM and CREATIVE FOOD & NUTRITION TEAM.

The Creative Art Team has a different concept work desk. I don't know why but who cares.

Yeah..that's my desk.

I made my first break through at the Esplanade Theatre....sadly with not some cute looking date but with 21 kiddos. Thank god, there wasn't any major embarrassment apart from the stares that I received from passerbys when stupid kiddos deliberately chant "TEACHER TEACHER" into my ear. Outsiders should stop stereotyping teachers' appearances.

Anyhow...BREAKOUT was AWSOME! The dance steps, the beat box, the storyline, the props...definitely a THUMBS-UP!

I am on my 3rd month of wearing braces.

1st month - Clear transparent plastic

2nd month - sky blue plastic

3rd month - red plastic

As you can see, I am kinda getting used to the braces and the colours are getting brighter as the month goes.

Dentist said that I should be able to remove my brace latest by July. Well...no pain no gain.

I was having a casual chat recently with my new neighbour at work and we felt that our job encompasses almost everything. We have a widest scope of job than any other job..even actors.

If we were to have our employment contract that lists all the job scopes we have to take on, this is what it will look like:

1) Teach

2) Babysitter / Nanny

4) Elder sister/ Elder brother

5) Entertainer /Joker

7) Event organiser and planner

8) Decor team desginer

16) Costume designer

17) Instructor/ Coach

There are more job scopes which I can't think of right now. Please feel free to add in if you can think of any.

2010-02-16T20:56:00.000+08:00

After years of free from illness, finally I got hit by the flu bug. HA...this is like my first time getting hit with 38.5 degree after like 10years. I think the virus works in a very odd movement. First my throat was sore, then itchy, followed by flu with fever...and now its back to itchy throat. Does the flu virus always move in this way? I have no idea.
I know i sound retard but being ill isn't so bad afterall other than you will constantly feel sleepy and tired.
Then again...it suck when u are ill and u still have to use your voice to work. ARGH!

2010-02-15T14:03:00.002+08:00

2010-02-14T19:07:00.003+08:00

A demure style of eating a cone Ice-cream. Setback: I can't eat the biscuit :(

Why is it that no one has seen or eaten this before? My family has been eating this since I was born. The name of this food is rather funny. I guess only Peranakans know this food. The MUST-HAVE traditional food during LNY. It taste bitter by the way. Not really a fan of this food.

YES I do sorta celebrate LNY with some chinese decor.
Balancing on 4 mini wheels is not an easy task. Imagine rolling down a slope with 8 wheels is madness especially when age is catching up.

The after-skating look. Shagged!!!

PHOTO OF THE DAY!!! Selca shots

This is how I celebrated my chinese new year.

2010-02-10T21:04:00.002+08:00

My skates have the pink ribbons. I am a breast cancer donator. HA! The wheels are bigger, faster and makes movement smoother. I can't wait to get on my wheels again.

Extremely Depressing

2010-01-31T18:18:00.004+08:00

Finally bought the BODY FAT DIGITAL BATHROOM SCALE and it is very depressing to know that all along I have been deceived by the old school needle bathroom scale. I am already depressed with the fact that I wasn't 42.5..damn. There goes my ideal weight. Despite exercising, the weight is stagnant. ARGH! (I think my bones are heavy).

Went cycling around my neighbourhood. Apart from seeing tons of bangladeshi and 3Ps at work (construction sites), many northeasterns were enjoying flying kite literally, brisk walking or jogging on a saturday evening.
I feel kite flying is a waste of my time. It is a unprofitable hobby. After you get your kite soaring up high...theres nothing much you can do. It is boring. I rather be off cycling, in-line skating or swim (my latest hobby) .

Tried to be adventurous so i cycled all the way in to one of the deserted road. I found SANTUL CRES road and a new LRT station - Sam Kee (sounds weird). Above image is Sam Kee station.

Of cos...i will never return home without taking pictures of sunset. The first image is using Lococam app and the second is the sunset app.... courtesy of iphone =)

2 weeks of braces

2010-01-27T19:20:00.004+08:00

Testing the lomocamera on my iphone. Not too bad i must say. I meant the effects.

Today is my first time experiencing a battery flat car and It is also my first time trying to move the car while someone manually pushed the car from the back. And it had to happen right in the middle of BUGIS STREET.

Almost 2 weeks of wearing braces. The 1st week was a torture with me having difficulty in chewing any food, even porridge. After 4 days of pure porridge without anything made me lighter. I was at my lightest weight in like 4 years -42.5KG. However, i have gained back tons of grams after being able to chew and swallow food. So i guess swallowing food makes one fatter. I shall wait for my next dental visit to tighten my braces and I will drop some kilos once again. It feels good to be lighter.It feels as if you can move like the wind....wooah like real.

Alright on another note,
I have decided to pick up swimming as my new hobby. YES swimming, i used to be aquaphobic but not anymore. I went swimming after work yesterday and managed to swim 10 laps. A complete 10 laps in length not breadth. I am impressed with myself for that accomplishment although i was out of breath. I have decided to make THE QUARTZ my new hangout :) Sucha pity that GB gave it up.

Anyways I am shifting to another room with all the other creative consortium...Finally I will be able to talk and laugh as loud as I can...i think.

I miss eating salmon sashimi. I miss eating japanese food

Today marks my most impromptu day.
First I went ahead with putting on braces despite having 2nd thought.
Next, I calmly walked into M1 shop to purchase an iphone without any hesitation. I can't believe it myself. Usually, I will take days and weeks to ponder about which mobile model to buy and usually accompanied with a friend for 2nd opinion. However this time round, I purchased a mobile within 15mins. So I reckon that the older I am, the more decisive I am haha. I feel a little sad that I am no longer a samsung user. Blame it on SAMSUNG ANYCALL who refused to export ANYCALL to SG. I wanted to get the Haptic or the Just Drag ANYCALL but they do not have it in SG.

****Wearing braces is seriously a torture. No pain no gain....so i must persevere for the next 4 months.
파이팅!

I proudly present my in-house banner design - modern dance. Unfortunately, we only have enough budget to print the first design.

I felt that I had worked for 15 days.
Everyday I am busy with admin work and other misc stuff.
Everyday I have to re-create a new lesson to cater to the different classes.
Everyday I work for more than 12hours.
Is life all about working?

2010-01-03T15:56:00.002+08:00

I am back to experience another 45 BLACK SUNDAYS this year! I hate the feeling especially when the needle strikes 6pm on sunday. It means heading back to the dungeon!!! Why Oh Why?

2010-01-02T15:32:00.002+08:00

Finally ate dim sum but it was not satisfying as the autentic dim sum in HK. Of cos my MOST FAVOURITE dim sum is the split open char siew pau. I know most people will target the siew mai and har gow but i choose the cheapest food...ha.

Another few more hours before BLACK SUNDAY! =(
I cant accept the fact that I am returning to the topsy-turvy environment. ARGH!

:::Food Consumption:::
1/2 bowl of porridge
2 Char Siew Pau
2 slices of prawn chee cheong fun
3 Har Gow
2 steamed prawn something
1 prawn something
1/2 of siew mai
1 slice of red bean pancake ( I still prefer the fish red bean pancake)
1/2 a slice of fried carrot cake
1/2 a slice of fried yam ball

Melancholic...haha

It is the first day of twenty.ten so I thought I should kickstart the brand new year with a post. It is a decade past Y2K.

I ushered in 2010 by swimming the bad luck away and bringing in the good luck (I hope). 'The Quartz' shall be my 2nd home for entertainment haha.

I have decided to blog my daily consumption of food. G said 28 is the new 30 so it is extremely scary that it is even more difficult to lose weight when you are 30. It is the first day and I broke my "not eating after 8pm" rule. =(

:::FOOD CONSUMPTION:::

A slice of pizza

A bowl of porridge with kimchi

2 small slices of Amercian club sandwich

1 chocolate shell bun

A cup of Orange Juice

Sour Apple Martini (DEADLY)

Mcdonald's Fries (DEADLY)

The side activities in BKK

A MUST-TAKE pic with Thai Ronald.

Trio cousins

Eww..Finally tasted this coconut fruit drink. It sucks!

About $12.50 for a big pack of big prawns.

Amazed with the thais. They love eggs so much. Miniature eggs are kinda cute.

Never take Tuk-Tuk to meet your date. Serious bad hair day.

Bad Take for "YOU GOT MILK" poster advert.

The tuk tuk driver, Roon.

Driving the tuk-tuk It is quite easy to ride it.

The hotel manager who entertained throughout our stay.

Yes I know. I failed terribly in posing act cute pics. The claw pose is "spastic".

Waiting for another cousin to return to the hotel. We ended up taking Selca Pics. Stace is sad because she doesnt want to leave BKK, I am sad because i dont want to return to START WORK!

Is it just me or I am always that unlucky to have people with leg disorder to sit behind me, be it in the movie theatre or on board the plane. I had the worst flight ever. The person kept kicking my chair throughout the flight despite telling her not to do it. Thank god, it is to BKK and not to NYC. Can't wait to get back to my less polluted air home. Did I mention that the standard of SQ has dropped tremendously? Faces of SQ flight attendants are worse than before and their food quality has dropped 10 notches. WTH!

Unglamourous moments

Doesn't she look like a pink condom with the dickhead sticking out? HAHAHA

Another crazy rash moment of wanting to get a polaroid camera. It does look a little toyish but it is a real polaroid cam. I shall buy it IF i pass both my english exam. 18th is the result. Keeping fingers and toes crossed. What are the chances of getting a pass? I drew correction fluid and pen on my blank exam script because I do not know how to do. WTH!

1111

2009-11-11T11:11:00.001+08:00

Today is 1111. I took noticed of this day since I had multiple visions of 1111. Yes, I saw 1111 today again unintentionally. I seriously think Hello kitty is a spastic cartoon. I did some research on her before drawing this and I didn't know kitty has a twin sister named Mimmy. All of Sanrio characters live in England not Japan..WTF!

Anyways...exams finally OVER! I feel aimless now...too much time to waste.

2009-11-02T18:48:00.004+08:00

I realised that my office has a good spot to watch sunrise. This is what I saw this morning. Not the most fantastic sunrise, I had seen a more beautiful sunrise but had forgotten to bring my camera. Anyways this is prolly the only thing that brightens up my day before starting the battle every morning. Speaking of battle, I can't believe I still have to fight the battle and sing the anthem every morning. What happened to the so-called school vacation? argh!

I am still searching for the right moment to pick up the bloody book to study. =(

HALLOWEEN

2009-10-31T19:52:00.007+08:00

It's Halloween once again. Seems like I will never ever get to celebrate a proper Halloween unless I am not in Singapore. Everytime I tell myself that I should do something outrageous for Halloween but never get to do it. Well...as usual this Halloween I am not out partying. I stayed indoors to make the Japanese red bean waffle/pancake. Finally found the authentic Jap red bean used in japanese Fish Pancake. The pancake didnt taste like the one from Takashimaya because I couldnt find baking powder but it was a good attempt. I will continue to master my fish pancake red bean after exam.

I am supposed to be studying for my exam but I always end up doodling or drawing some random sketch while trying to get a chunk of texts in my head. I am definitely not a language person. I would rather spend the 3hrs on drawing than to write 3 essays. I hate ENGLISH. Anyways here's a sketch of donald duck drawn just now with my left hand. I shall try to master the skill of writing and drawing with my left hand so that i will be an ambidextrous artist.....woah like real. Alrite back to the telly... I gave up studying.

2009-10-16T18:45:00.004+08:00

It is good to have an indoor sports hall in your office cos u get to play badminton for free. No more paying ridiculous amt to rent a court. Anyways despite being busy with marking scripts, I played twice this week. swift and steady..WOAH! Btw, Ive got a colleague who is really good at hitting the shuttlecock into the hole..ha! It was challenging and it helps to keep one sane after marking tons of MAKE NO SENSE exam scripts and not forgetting the incorrigible handwritings and totally no art talent art pieces. Sometimes I wonder if my drawing was that sucky when i was 13.

There are only a few alphabets which I think I can handle better at writing and the letter 'M' happens to be one of them.

Exploring with colours...........

Adding colours to the shoe design isnt that bad afterall.

2009-10-11T19:50:00.003+08:00

I had neglected my blog for more than a month. Well...life is still as mundane as before despite many stuff had happened. Anyways, this year is my first GCSE EBS paper with the kiddos. I can't believe myself but I actually had remedial with them twice a week. To my surprise, kiddos who what I deemed as A.B attended my remedial. Anyhow they sat for the paper last week and I thought it was rather challenging for NT kiddos. The standard of English is rather tough for them to understand I thought..Hopefully there is MODERATION. OH YES....how can I forget to mention that i really despise INCOMPETENT COLLEAGUES. oh whatever..thank god hes GONE. Good Riddance!

Work aside.........

I finally had the courage to meet up with someone after a long 5 years. Everything of him still remain unchanged. I can't deny the fact that after so long, he is still in my memory. Honestly I can't remember much of my last r/s. It was prolly so traumatising that I completely forgotten all about it. After hanging out with him for a couple of times, I think I have to take another 5 years to let the good memories fade away again. :( And thats prolly why I started playing the piano again...hmm On a lighter note...... I went Butter on G's birthday and I seriously think that I am too old to club. I'm always the target of strangers stepping on my foot or hitting me becos their dance movements are massive. WTH! BUT ANYWAYS I saw my all time favourite guy- TC. He is still as boyish as before. I SO wanted to tell him that night that I like him since I was 11 and still do...and I wana sing this to him, "I'm the one for you. You'are my ecstasy. You are the one I need." HA! It is a boring entry this time as I have 2 TMAs to submit by today and my brain is alrd dead.... I can't wait for school vacation to start and my exam to end. I need a good break. _________________________
Finally I have completed my 2 TMAs. I am left with the 2 big exam. I've been busy doing the graduation gifts for the kiddos. This is the first time I am giving my kiddos something willingly. I can't believe that I am saying this but I had fun teaching them and I enjoyed my lessons (include bitching) with them. Many of my colleagues gave mechnical pencils and pen to their graduating kiddos. I'd decided to give them these...

I've yet to complete...
Alrite..I've to head back to mark the exam scripts. I marked a few scripts earlier and I was overwhelmed by their Hotel knowledge in Geylang. WTH!

I can't believe that Giordano has been around for ages and people spell Giordano as 'GORNADO' ??!!

My first attempt of baking Scones. It was a sucess! YEAH! Both Bobos enjoyed eating them.

Just had THE most thrilling car spin with 3 little kiddos. Driving a manual car to the other end of Singapore is no joke. Its even worse when there is a traffic jam. My legs were numb. I will still opt for an auto car anytime although i have to admit it is more thrilling to drive manually. I take my hats off manual drivers esp to my YOBO! Woohoo!!!!

AND...I cant believe I went to the most deadly bad place West Coast Mac. Fortunately coast was clear.
Alrite...back to the studio with kids again. ARGHHH! I think i see the kids more than i see my colleagues in the office.

I can't wait to turn my dream into reality! May it come true soon.................

GREEN BEER @ RED DOT. .....QUEER

My very first attempt to cook Italian Pasta. We made our own creamy sauce.

The pale looking pasta.How can anyone not eat mushroom? Mushroom is GOD!

I suck at cooking. I rather stick to eating out or people cooking for me =)

Back to school again. 6 more essays awaiting for me. 1 is due on national day. Theres like 25 things to do at work. I WANT TO FALL ILL. I tried almost EVERY LETHAL heaty food products but i do not have a slightest cough or fever. WTH!
Can anyone share with me their secret remedy to fall illl?

A Proper English cottage pie

Finally I'd tasted an authentic English dinner which is Cottage Pie. The chef wasn't too bad but the pie would taste better if it was baked by Jamie Oliver. Anyways it was sweet of him to cook dinner =)
There is a great difference between a typical chinese guy and a caucasian guy. You will never expect a typical chinese guy to go all way out to make a special dinner (thought I had) UNLESS he studied abroad, he is somewhat mixed, or he comes from an English-educated background. Anyways, I've realised that all along I have been eating English Dinner though not very AUTHENTIC. And I thought that the food my mom had made were Portuguese food. So I gathered that my grandma had English blood somehow and that explains my strong liking for the Queen's English. Woohoo, I am 1/24 English! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

I strongly think my SMS counter has hit its limit of 500 SMSes. I have prolly hit 800 -1000 but I am not complaining. At least it isn't the DS or Cult members.

It is sunday once again. 20 days and counting before the next public holiday.
Life is like a river :(

FINALLY A COMPLETE PAINTING!

Okay so I didnt manage to do any new outrageous stuff but I tried something which G & I have always wanted to have the feel of being invited to a western home and have a typical western home cooked dinner (those in the american movies). I haven't exactly try the authentic western dinner yet due to a scheming person who tricked me into a BBQ gathering instead. SHIT! I seriously felt SPG-fied, surrounded by BRITS (men & women) and a few local ones. Anyhow, English BBQ is quite different from our local BBQ. I prefer ours though it is more fattening. Anyhow, the experience was bad. I was overwhelmed with a full blown brit accents for the whole night, I seriously wanted to yell "walau..tiam lar" but obviously I didn't. They don't understand. Some guys just have the energy to continue yakking all the way. The world is changing. Guys are now more talkative than girls. Even lizards do NOT crawl on the ceiling or wall anymore. They choose to crawl on floor, table. WTF! i bloody hate lizards. They should be extinct just like their cousins - Dinosaurs. UGH!

Its only half of week 2. When is week 10 gona arrive? :( My new timetable is totally SUCKY! I hate THURSDAYs. All the major bad classes deliberately fall on the same day, back to back. It is HELL & PISSED day for me.

Enough said..tomorrow is HELL DAY! I will be trying my authentic English dinner soon, I hope I wont get disappointed and end up eating someone's attempt of cooking local 'char kway teow' instead.

It's all about bling bling

:::An ARTY FARTY DAY:::

Finally I am back to my arty self. Visited the Da Vinci's exhibition and watched Van Gogh's life story at the Omni theater. What a coincidence that Da Vinci is D's favourite artist and Van Gogh is my all-time favourite artist. As expected, the people who went were basically not cultured. They insisted on touching the exhibits despite having many signages around to warn people not to touch it.

Anyways, Van Gogh's life story at the omni theatre was magnificent. I hope to visit all the places he painted in Paris especially the Starry night over at Rhone (not the over rated starry night painting).

This is an exhibit of Van Gogh's favourite chair.

Getting inspired by sitting on his chair. Ookaey fine...being PS, I need to show evidence that I was there =)

After watching his short film, I felt inspired, hence in an oddest hour of the day, I had the urge of painting one of my favourite painting by Van Gogh - The Cafe Terrace. Took 5hours to complete it. However, Im not that satisfied and I shall do some touch up tomorrow. The next painting I will attempt to paint is Starry Night over the Rhone.

Wasn't inspired by Night of the Museum 2. It was a demo for one of the daily assignment I gave them to draw.
..............................................................................................................
GB's condo. I only like his bathroom. My dream bathroom of having 2 sides full glass windows and beside the window is the bath tub. I will mount a 21 inch tv on the wall to watch movie while having my bubble bath. Oh..how can I forget a bottle of champagne to go with the atmosphere =) It will be better if he doesnt put any blinds,leave it open haha. The space we are sitting on is where I will put my bottle of champagne and glass.

..........................................................................................................................

One of the RARE times that everyone is aimless as you can see from the photos.

Papaya juice is good as it makes you shit shit shit =)

I noticed this is the 2nd time Bloop borrowed my watch as a prop for her Photo-taking.

The first wave for the competitors

Before the race

The starting point

Ran past this signboard many times.

My nice particpant Number tag.Wonder if it will bring me luck..ha

The sensor tag on our shoes to scan our timing.

My first ever medal for a RUN. This is probably the most outrageous thing I have ever done in my entire life. Running 10km for 70mins is hella an achievement which I think I should reward myself with something good. Never knew Sporeans are so ON about running. I was one of the 11,000 who took part. It was quite enjoyable to jog with many strangers and surprisingly, I didnt feel like dying when I completed the race. It must be the 100Plus. HA!

After a long period of not receive an award for Netball, finally here's another one to join my other netball trophies.
Well...anyways

This watch cost $649. WTH. So not worth it! I was totally HUH when i saw the price tag! Another expensive product turning into a white elephant. Argh so wasted!

우선 5 월 - FIRST OF MAY

2009-05-01T11:11:00.000+08:00

나에게 생일 축하를해야!
(Happy Birthday)

I am still waiting for THE SPECIAL MAN to fulfil my birthday wish of playing the song 'First of May' on the piano just for me. haha...ok I know this is the result of watching too many K fantasy dramas. I envy people who always post tons of photos of their BIG birthday bash on FB or blog and I am TOTALLY jealous of those who post photos of their EXPENSIVE gifts given by their folks. I came across one who had received a mini cooper on his birthday, another received a BMW Z4..SHIT! I have nothing worthy to post on FB. Never had a big birthday bash and definitely no rich folks to buy expensive gift ...THAT'S SO LIFE!

Anyhow...after donkey years of not playing netball, I'd decided to participate in a netball match. I felt like I was back in the good old days in SJC, training in the sun, doing ball passes and playing court game. After 2 days of training, it paid off, we won 1ST. Of course we had to thank our captain whos a national player for her spectacular skills. It feels good to receive a GOLD MEDAL. I still have all my Netball trophies which I had won since Primary school. Anyways after playing netball for the past few days, I have the urge to play again. The Netball fever is coming back haha. I am gona take part in another event in end of may and I hope to get a medal too. Suddenly, I am so enthusiastic over collecting medals and keeping fit. It must be the auspicious age thingy. I will hit the big 3 in 3 years and gaining weight plus wrinkles are my greatest fear.

Labour Day

First time drinking Sake and I must say that it taste better than soju...like TOTALLY!

Strawberry & Mango Martini. Mediocre standard

Lychi Martini

Lychi Mojito

This looks somewhat like a PPP (Prostitutes & Pimp Portrait) or a multi-racial family Portrait with GB as a widower with his illegitimate offsprings haha.

BF, Yobo, Bloop, BJ, Mother, Auntie

B.J.C -- Sounds like Blowjob Club...tsk tsk

B.J.W.C -- Adding The 'holy' tudung woman, it becomes Act Cute Club =)

We failed terribly in posing especially after a long day at work

Cheena Minah standing by the dodgy roadside in malaysia =)

Bad photographergave us wrong cue & pose, making us looked like 'HUH' rather than looking melancholic. Bloop's hand on me made her looked as if she is blind tsk tsk.

A true PS takes pictures anywhere and anytime of the day.

The POCCUPINE FLU

Anyways..the first track on my blog is very suitable for a psycho killing scene. Don't you think so? Everytime i listen to this song, i have this vision of a scene in a dark and gloomy room with dark red curtains hanging at the balcony door. It will be blowing inwards. There will be a rocking chair placed near the balcony door. The psycho killer will be seated on the rocking chair, his back facing the balcony. He wears a mask and is holding a weapon in his right hand filled with blood stain while his left hand holds a glass of red wine. He rocks the chair slowly, recalls of the murder he had done earlier. The scene gradually fades to the scene which he is thinking. The fast part of the music is where the scene changes to the psycho killing scene. The scene slowly changes back to the pyscho killer rocking his chair. He slowly stands up, walk towards the balcony door.The camera follows him from the back. The curtain blows towards his face. HAHA!

The second track is for a murder scene in a hospital especially the chorus. The scene will be in a ICU ward with the green curtain close and the victim is sleeping on the bed. Suddenly, there is a shadow on the green curtain, the psycho killer draws the green curtain and enters. The camera angle changes to be outside of the green curtain, focusing on the shadow of the psycho killer standing beside the victim. He murders him by suffocating him with a pillow.As the song ends, the psycho killer walks out of the ward.HAHA!

Ok...I think i've watched too many American Psycho movies or I am too creative. Perhaps I should direct a short art film..who knows, I might be FAMOUS..HAHA!

2009-04-12T17:24:00.002+08:00

I was spending my Easter sunday trying to get some work done and the urge of drawing on my wall suddenly came to my mind. Drawing the playboy bunny on Easter sunday is so appropriate haha. Its a HOLY PLAYBOY room.....with 2 rosaries at the side of the bed..HAHA

Good Friday

2009-04-10T15:00:00.006+08:00

Good Friday is the anniversary of Jesus.C who died on the cross. Something new this year during Good Friday mass. Instead of the usual reading out the whole story of the "passion of the christ", we had a live performance. I must say it was pretty realistic, the actor who played as 'Jesus' was hung on a real cross but of course they didnt nail him to the cross. (we aint filipinos haha)

The cross above is the similar cross that protected me during the camp. This cross will continue to protect me and I pray it will not break again. (It is not easy to find this pattern)

Another interesting retro watch added to my collection. Complex dial face suits selfish people like me as we refuse to let strangers peep at our watches to look at the time. LOL!

나 <3>! Bought another samsung mobile for my mom. It's red.I'm beginning to like red mobile.

Finally, my mini domo has a twin brother. Got a companion but sadly its not from Japan.You can see the difference between authentic Japan product and China product haha.

Anyways, I have completed 5 out of 6 essays finally. Can't wait to complete my studies and get out of teaching.....like SERIOUSLY! Everyday is mundane to me, including saturdays and sundays. There is not a single day to look forward to. Birthday is approaching soon but I no longer look forward to it too. It only depresses me further to move another step nearer to the WRINKLE LAND.

I honestly think that there are some people who seriously have a major brain damage or are born without a brain. They totally have no clue what the real world is and especially what is love. After a long peaceful days of close to 4 months of no disturbance and annoyance, it was disrrupted by these people once again. One tells me that he has been waiting for May 1st to arrive since Jan,so that he can spend this special day with me...EWWWW GROSS!
And the other too said some stuff that was as equally gross as the first. I can't bring myself to repeat what he said.EWWWW! What is SO wrong with me? I think I need to be baptised in the dead sea to get rid of all the magnatic charges in my body that draw weirdos. I need the magnatic charge that attracts rich ones or at least decent looking ones haha.

It is now 3pm and as expected it is pouring. It rains without fail at 3pm on every Good Friday.

BINTAN

2009-03-29T12:01:00.014+08:00

ATC - Camp Site

The boys area of the camp site

The poor instructor who was the victim... :(

Part of BINTAN LAGOON RESORT

The resort villa which cost $300+K SGD

Too good to be true but yes, teachers stayed in Lagoon resort only to sleep and bathe.

Entrance of the library wall which we had to set up a reading corner.

The condition in Bintan High School. Thank god, I was born in SG

We were only given 3hrs to paint the mural, fix the shelves and placed all the books in the shelves.

J4 won the sandcastle competition - MY GROUP =)

Justitia ONE Justitia TWO

Justitia THREE

Justitia FOUR

Last day last activity. Thats why we were willing to PS.

Theses are the images of BINTAN on light-hearted days in broad daylight . Of course, there were some fun activities during the camp but not the main HIGHLIGHT activity -trekking. No one wants their camera to drop in pools of mud hence no images. Nothing worth taking anyway.

I did not mention in the previous post of another happening during the camp in Bintan. I was partially a victim and everytime I take a shower, that incident keeps flashing in my memory.

BINTAN CAMP

2009-03-26T23:08:00.005+09:00

Usually School camps are organised to help build a stronger bond among one another and to receive some enlightenment, on a contrary my 4 days Bintan Camp has transformed me into nothing of what were mentioned above but a tortured coward! (ok...i did build a stronger bond with colleagues and kiddos)

I am now scared of entering to anywhere with absolutely no light or little light, the fear of humongous insects flying or crawling around me and WONDERING SPIRITS (I'm serious). The incident that happened during the camp is still in my mind and I can't erase that. It is FREAKISH! You know what people would always say about the hearsay ghost encounters during their stay at camps, I now believe them totally. This is my first encounter to witness EXORCISM. A kiddo was possessed twice by 2 different spirits, an instructor who helped the kiddo was possessed too and etc. I saw the whole process. As I am blogging it down, the scene keeps flashing in my mind. If you think that I am not unlucky enough, I shared a room with a queer colleague who added more freakish news to weaken my faint heart.

On top of all theses that had happened, I was tortured brutally. First I was forced to do a mural painting for a Bintan School. I was forced to stand under the scorching hot sun for hours. I had to brace a heavy storm while walking up a high slope to the school.I was forced to climb a stupid mountain of some 400+m above ground level. The mountain is VERY steep and VERY slippery due to the rain. It was already a torture to climb up the steep mountain with 100 kiddos and it was totally impossible and insane to climb down the mountain using a different route which was steeper and extremely slippery. Most of us were sliding down the mountain like snow skiing instead. Everyone slipped and fell with countless of bruises, cuts and bumps while trying to make their way down. Of course not mentioning the night duties which I had to be part of. AND...what do I get in return? NOTHING but more shit work to clear when I get back from the camp.

I totally ABHOR camps period

D.I.Y Craft work

Times are bad as recession is currently going on. I've decided to go D.I.Y all the way haha. Moreover, it is tough to look for a comfy shoes that is nice and the price is reasonable hence drawing on my shoes would be a best solution since its ORIGINAL with no replicas and most importanly they are PRICELESS =) I shall venture out to design my own clothes haha. I can't wait to graduate and leave this stagnant mundane society of moulding the future. I rather mould money in my bank.

Well...I was one of the few hundred thousands of people who made their way to the IT show 2009. It was madness. There aint no recession going on, suntec was flooded with human heads, i believed 2 times more than last years crowd. Is recession = staying indoors, hence people tend to invest on IT gadgets to fill their humdrum lives at home? ha. Anyhow, I bought a printer with not a bad deal, G bought a Canon camera. Due to occupational hazard, I raised my voice in public to educate some A.hole who was so kiasu that he had to push his way through the massive crowd and pushed my nice looking printer and trolley. The words blurt out naturally and i regretted instantly. All eyes turned to stare at me, I felt like opening my printer box and hide inside haha. I will try to avoid suntec for a short period of time.

3 TMAS down...3 more to go before the BIG exam. Every weekend is spent during TMAs, NO more exciting life :(

It is difficult to get hold of Domo poducts so D.I.Y is the only option and it is FREE haha! Intending to make a DOMO tissue box holder and small domo ceramic figurine when I returned from my trip to a 5 star BINTAN Hotel resort ...HA!

Anyways, Sports day is FINALLY OVER. Here are the mascots from the different houses. Rule was to use recycled materials.

FIDELIS

Pros: Company management seems to be more organized.

Pros: I am more organised and submit record book on time...LOL

Pros: 90 staff, hence less unnecessary extra job.

HOWEVER.....

First time in my life to go to a theme park to sit all the rides all by myself. How PATHETIC! Anyways, none of the rides are thrilling. Certified for even the faint-hearted ones. BORING!
Sat this ride alone. HOW EXCITING!

Ripped off ride. Nothing scary. Everything is pitch black. To add on to the 'blackness', I had a group of blacks in front of me..HOW APPROPRIATE!

Sat this alone. Beside me was a young gal of about age 10. She acted cool in front of her younger sister but as the viking starts to swing higher, she SCREAMED "STOP" right into my ears. The operator STOPPED the damn ride and all of us had to get down.WTF!

Look at my bored look! I was moving at prolly 50km/h, the 2 cars ahead of me were moving like tortoise.

HA! I overtook them and i reached the finishing line.

Nathaniel is too young for all theses rides, he decides to take a nap. His brother Ezekiel decides to go for the mini Go-kart.

Farewell Singapore
SAWADEEKHA THAILAND

One of the special event at night which I forgot what it was.
We had to dig holes to build a water tank system for the village. to use.

Our backyard

The Shrine and open space in the village. Everyone gathers here at night and there is a PA sound system that plays music for the whole village to listen.

We had to cook our own thai food.

The boy's dorm. It is a good spot at night for star gazing. We did that and it was lovely!

The girl's dorm filled with mosquitos, tons of unknown flying insects.

We had live with this open concept kitchen for 1 month.

The Nature Art Trail in the forest. We did all the drawings of each station. There are 14 i think.

The Waterfall which Leonardo DiCaprio acted in THE BEACH
