Rainy Monday!

What a nice weather to sleep in today! But it's Monday today and I've got to work. This suddenly reminds me of Carpenter's song, Rainy days and Mondays especially when the lyrics went "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down". This morning was double the effect. Such cooling weather is 'luring' us to laze on the bed. I am not the type of person who will press the snooze button on the alarm clock. This morning was really simply too tempting but I guess I've got no choice but to wake up and prepare for work. This song just kept coming to my head...

Here's the start to the emo song:

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit, nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

I miss Travelling!

August is here – seven months has passed for Year 2013. Time really flies. These seven months had been stressful and dull. Not much of a personal life, no overseas trips. Due to the current project I am working on, I am not able to travel overseas (even to Malaysia) for one year. I've got to stay contactable for 24/7. Remembering last National Day, I took my last long well-deserved flight to Vancouver with Random W and BFF W to look for Random Ad. An almost two-week break before the project kicked start in late September. I wish I can fly right now! 

I desperately need a break – a long well-deserved (at least I think I deserve it) break, away from Singapore, away from office, away from work. Not a long one, but I am looking forward to the short Bali trip (that is in the process of planning) in end October. I want to sit in an aeroplane and fly to somewhere, just to relax (oh, it’s hard when there are many activities in place) and enjoy myself. I just want to stay non-contactable – technology has indirectly making us work more than we should be doing. I know is hard as we will tend to surf the internet and get hook to social media to update our lives or see updates of our friends. I remembered my previous trip to Ho Chi Minh. My sim card got locked and I was not able to use it. Thus, I was being ‘forced’ to de-tech for the five days. Instead of feeling lost, I actually felt great - Able to enjoy every second in HCM instead of spending some in the technology world. 

I guess I am working to earn my travel fare so that I can travel out to enjoy my life, to experience the different cultures, to see the things we do not get to see in Singapore. Not that I do not enjoy life in Singapore, not that I have visited the whole of Singapore. But I guess, the cheap thrill of taking the aeroplane, flying above the clouds and holding on to a different currency made a difference. Oh well, but the “staying away from the family and the comfortable bed” still make me feel homesick. Ad well, I get to appreciate Singapore more when I’m home after a long overseas trip. I still love Singapore after all! I  DEEPLY miss travelling!

Blue Blue Sky!

I love looking at the blue blue skies and love how the different trees complement the visual against the sky. It would be great when there are clouds especially those candy floss clouds. So fluffy, so carefree high up in the sky.

 Working in an office environment make it hard for us to appreciate the blue sky. We could have stepped into the office when the sky just got lighted up and when we knock off, the sky has turned dark to welcome the moon and stars. It's great to have the weekend where I can stare blankly into the sky, doing nothing but clearing up the busy mind that had worked hard over the weekdays... Blue blue sky... I love you!

Remembering the days in June when we encountered the haze. Those days were bad. The clear blue sky was gone and gave a gloomy feel to everyone. When the news mentioned about the return of the haze, it unintentionally affected my mood. But aren't we glad now that we are still seeing the blue sky. Though it is scorching hot in the afternoon, I rather the sky stays as it is now!

Some of the shots i captured while waiting for the bus at the different bus-stops around Singapore.
