Trapped.

All these talks are becoming nothing more than empty words.

Empty words which we hang on to. 

How does wrongs make a right? It never does. It never will. Yet it's so easy to fall back into that same trap. The trap that tells you it's alright, it's acceptable. Slowly but surely, you'll start to believe these lies made up in your head. It becomes a 'right'.

But then at the end of the day, everything comes crashing back down. And what are you left with?


It's getting quite hard to draw a line.

Guess it's time to shove it all away. Time to talk and mean things.

Next time.

I open this page.

I stare at the screen.

I try to gather all the jumbled up thoughts in my head construct sentences.

Nothing. 

Guess it's time to close this till the next round of inspiration strikes me.

Singapore - Mini getaway

I've always loved holidays. And ever since I started working, travelling doesn't seem too far fetched to me. 

My ultimate goal is not to buy a big house or luxurious car, it's to have sufficient money to travel and see all the beautiful sights the world has to offer. There's just too many places I would love to visit! Some of it would be Disneyland, Rome, London, New York City. 

Fortunately, my first step to travelling the world has started! Beginning with a trip to Singapore!

FOUR days undisturbed and work-free to fuel my inner traveler. 

Scroll down for a chronological post of Singapore through my eyes. ;)

I finally visited the Tin Tin shop :)

Chinatown

Truth be told, I was pretty blown away by the lego art. If you actually stopped to admire the art, you'll find such beauty in each sculpture. When you read the description for each sculpture, you'll make the connection. It's definitely something not to be missed. 

Gardens By the Bay

Gardens at the Bay light show

Marina Bay Sands Light Show

One of the highlights of my trip would HAVE to be S.E.A. Aquarium @ Resorts World Sentosa. I was pretty much sold the moment I read about the place.

World's largest aquarium?

I'm definitely going. ;)

Maritime Musuem

YES. I WAS THIS CLOSE TO A DOLPHIN.

Nemo & Dory!

A HUUUUUUGE aquarium

I was this close to sharks too!

Although I can't remember even 5 of the fishes name now, it was very educational. I really liked it! We spent almost 2 hours in that place. At the end of it, I could feel my feet giving in already.

But it's worth every penny spent! :D

Another hightlight!

I didn't get to take many pictures during the night safari because it was just too dark and I didn't want to frighten any animals with the flash. And I think we enjoy things better once we stop snapping pictures and just revel in what the world has to offer. :)

I personally felt like it was an 'educational' trip. heh. But I loved every bit of it!

I loved walking around Singapore, taking the MRT because that was our only form of transportation, trying out their food, walking in Bugis, meeting old and new friends and just being away from the hustle and bustle of KL.

Or maybe it's just the idea that I'm starting my journey - to see the world.


Cheers to more experiences!

Light in the darkness.

As for me, 5th of May was historical because it was the first time I voted.

Not because of anything else, but it was because I was old enough to decide the future of my country. I could walk into that room, wait patiently as my details were being read out, get indelible (or *cough* delible) ink on my fingers, pick up the ballot papers and cross of my choice of candidates.

For the first time, I was interested.

Instead of shutting myself out from all these mainstream news, I wanted to know more. I checked Twitter, Facebook, TV continuously. I was glued to the screen, so to say.

Till the point it became ugly.


Violence.

Injustice.

Hatred.

Racism. 



What I couldn't stand was people questioning me about my choice & my family's choice or... lack of choice to vote just because of our job professions. It's just that so shallow. To even categorise us.

You know what I saw on that day? The spirit of unity. Plus, the very fact that the youngsters today are aware and motivated to make a change. We're not so ignorant anymore. And that to me, is pretty incredible.


Don't wait till elections to change. Do it now.

Stop pointing fingers.

And most of all, pray. No matter what our race or religion, the one up there will help us through this.

My point.

Everything is getting grander.

We're all in the midst of flashy lights, booming music and huge crowds.

Nowadays, it's not even about connecting on a personal level anymore. It's about who can do it better.


So what's the point of all this?

Who are we trying to impress at the end of the day?

I just wish that sometimes, more thought went into things. And that everyone just went back to the basics.


Would be pretty simple isn't it?

V-Day dedication ;P

It's funny how someone can always be there right before your eyes and you will never take notice of them, until you connect, heart-to-heart, beyond just superficial conversations or car rides home.

In the midst of all the confused feelings and frustration, you find something worth fighting for. And you're willing to keep fighting for it because you believe in it, you are strengthened by it and you know that when everything else fade, someone is there for you.

Yes, no doubts there's arguments. No doubts there's days when you feel your absolute lowest, trying to cling on to whatever is in front of you. Some days jealousy will bare it's fangs, seeping poison into the heart. Some days you just feel absolutely clingy, wishing that you could spend every waking moment with the other person (I admit, i still feel that way from time to time).

You feel an array of emotions. And that's okay. The process of falling in love isn't supposed to be a path filled with green lights. It's going to be bumpy and it's going to be rough. But at the end of the day, it's all worthwhile.

You find that one person who understands you. You find that it doesn't matter what you wear, how you look or how you hate wearing glasses. You find that it's okay to just head out in shorts & a simple tee (although at times, we ought to look better). You find that despite all the arguments all day, a simple hug cures everything. You find that a lot of things remind you of the other person, even if it's songs or random things you find online. You find yourself happy spending time together, even if it means doing absolutely nothing. You find that conversations become more meaningful as it's becoming an 'adventure' to learn more about each other on a daily basis. You find happiness..in the simplest things.

So..this is for you - Happy Valentines Day!

p.s. I've done the cheesy bits through messages & the homemade card. ;P

I believe :)

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”
