明明很爱你



1.) Saw discovery channel filming down the busy hour scene at the traffic light near Paragon...

2.) It is JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge Day today...

3.) The lines on my palm says I am a "traveller who will return home" & it also says that I am a "nature-lover". (Quite true eh, at least from the photographs I uploaded here...haz)

Serenity

Sunrise at Apollo Bay along Great Ocean Road

[As we soak the essence of the sunrise, it is critical to note that it will only last us for that day. We need to learn to cast aside work for the day when the sunset arrive to rejunevate for the next day...]

The Never Ending Highway to Outback...

[Treasure Life journey, you don't know where it will end. Ironically, some people don't even see any road in front of them...]

"Children Beggars" @ Barossa Valley

[Only when you are a child, you can live in your wildest imagination without the baggage of reality. If we want to bridge dreams to reality, there is a need for a child to live in each of our hearts... ]

Family Day @ Barossa Valley [Wine Festival - Btw, South Aussie is the state of festivals!]

[I don't see such a scene much in Singapore... humpzzz...]

Need to get a digital watch tomorrow so that I can gauge my time allocation for Tuesday and Wednesday paper... Meeting Eunice and Amu at Causeway Point tomorrow to do some revision before my first paper on Tuesday... And yea, I am going to finish up my National Service this holidays... =)

Time to be a child and read some totally unacademic stuff before tucking myself in bed... NitezZz...

Sydney...

I've got about 12 DVDs of photographs (combined with my friends' camera)... Not all were featured in the collages which I have made... Decided to put some here... There are so many photos worth taking a reminiscing... 4 of out of the zillions inside them...=)

Marina City Park...

With the development of the Integrated Resort(IR) and a slated 3-parks linkage, the serenity at Marina City park will be gone in a couple of years...

It was about 10 years ago that FS,KJ and I went on a little adventure to find the 8 Chinese statues of Confucius, Hua Mu Lan, Guan Yu, Zheng He, Yue Fei, Qu Yuan and another two... It was for a higher chinese group project... We could have have done a simple project on some chinese festivals but curious as we were, we decided to embark on this adventure to find these 8 statues... We got lost and almost gave up; gave Zhang Lao Shi a call and she said she has not been there before, but it was mentioned in the papers... Haz...Best... So it was akin to a treasure hunt for us...

The park was freaking big, there was a huge playground there, with monkey nets, flying fox (at least 30 metres between the 2 ends), swings... As we walk through the pathways and past the lakes, we are still unsure we are in the right direction... But we know the 8 statues were somewhere in the park... But there was no maps to guide us... So we walk and walk... Till we spotted a grey figurine at one end of the park, we knew we have found it... It was a feeling of euphoria... We were tired but still we have to copy the transcriptions of the statues (digital cameras were not popular then...)onto our note books... That was my first encounter with this park...

Throughout my JC, National Service, Uni days, I will still drop by this park occasionally to seek that serenity, usually alone but sometime with a friend... If I remember correctly, we had a 4s1 class outing there before... The last time I was last year before I left for Australia for my exchange... Managed to dig out one photo with me inside for the trip last yr... I need to go back soon... I am so emotionally attached to it... Soon, it will be brimming with life and people... Serenity dispelled forever...

UROP Concluded...

Finally, urop has been concluded after evaluation from Dr Danny Poo and Dr Caisy Hung... Presentation got a little noisy when YY started her presentation on the other side of the room too... Got stumped on some questions but have tried my best to justify certain issues... But when some suggestions and comments are given, I accepted them readily... =) Finally concluded it after 2 months plus on the PILE of journals...

Perhaps some of you have read this article before, but it is definitely worth a second read, especially for Singaporeans...

Paved with Good Intentions - By Colin Goh & Joycelyn Woo

Practised some causal loops with LT at SoC just now... Slowly, I am getting the trick of drawing such loops... =)

Just added a few more things to do to my "To-Do" list for the holidays... Looking forward to it... And yea, I have pretty much set on going back to finish up my National Service during this long holidays... And begin to loop for opportunities to win the bet I had with HP... 7 more months... -)

Hold Eternity in Your Hand...

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

16 More Days

16 more days and I will be off the academic stuff for at least 3 months... =)

Cousin YL was here yesterday to print her business-related stuff... Had a nice home-cooked lunched with her together with mum... Chatted with her about her work and also future intentions... I feel pretty much liberated with the major papers behind me... Left with a A1 urop poster and it will be preparation for exams...

Making plans for my holidays - both work and leisure... still waiting for reply from some agencies... shall just wait and see how it goes...

Need to finish up the poster by today so that I can print it in SoC tomorrow... =)

I still have my dreams in perspective... -)

For my Consulting Groupmates...

For my CS4253 group mate... Got this off my friend's blog whose boyfriend is a consultant... haha

Woohoo...

Had our entrepreneurial marketing presentation not long along... And yea, Eunice did a fantastic job convincing the 5 external judges and we got a "Congratulations" from the "Simon Crowe" amongst the judges... Sometimes, one really need to tread on a different path to make the difference... Thank to Eunice's fragment of imagination that we arrive at our idea of I-Bank - a Social Enterprise... =)

Left a few more stuff before I can open up 2 textbooks which are effectively unopened till now... haha...

Btw, I was a good boy today and went for my CS2301 lecture... And guess what, the last lecture was last week... Bestest... So much for my diligence to attend the final lecture...

Temporal Shifts...

Temporal shifts is one of the topic i broached on in urop report... It refer to the injecting of "disruptive" elements in your workplace to actually give your employees a sense of "new found time"... Drawing from this conecpt to our life, I think it works the same too... Sometimes, you just need to divorce from reality for a while... Indulge in your imagination.... even if is just a fragment of your imagination... it works wonder and puts you on track to your life again... =)

urop finally done... haha... In exchange for my 2 copies of 60 pages report, I got a big A1 poster for my poster presentation... And I became a major obstacle on the bus...

The Future, Global Knowledge Society...

Finally, it is out at 6 am this morning... =) My piece may not be the best among the other 9 contestants, but I think I have internalise the topic with reference to my theoretical framework to the best of my ability within the limited amount of time this semester has for me... =)

The Future, Global Knowledge Society - What is it Really?

Now... urop all the way...

Belief in Time

It is time when you realise that you have not enough time to compress time effectively... In any case, I have a 6 hours advantage... =)

Am I way too optimistic?

I have to when time is simply not enough... haz...
