I'm feeling down again. Not sure why. Not work definately. Maybe I'm just trying to be seeking for some attn. Haha
Was asking myself why am I feeling this way cause they say theres always a reason for feeling a certain way but I just cant seem to find the ans. Or mayb I do.
I wish for a nice quiet retreat at a beach or just a quiet night enjoying the star.. When was the last time I sat and enjoyed the starling stars? Was it with HS many yrs ago or was it with Na and Leng?
I guess time might have washed away the free time that we used to stare, stone and wonder~
I guess the time when we had chalet were over and time just drained the energy that kept us awake at night.
Those are precious moments which can never be retrived no matter how much you try. I guess that's growing up (and old haha)

There hasnt been much blogging for a long time. I cant remember how long. I do have much to write but havnt had enough drive to sit in front of the screen to do this. Hence, all has been forgotten.
I just remember time passing with events mostly routine stuffs.
Da Vinci's exhibition is fantastic. It's filled with lotsa little gadgets. Kinda fascinated by how they work esp during those days. The mechanisms were simple. But the nicque lies in how they were used esp during those days. It's fascinating to know how Da Vinci used those mechanism for inventing battle equipments and manufacturing, threatre plays etc. Not forgetting how he borrowed the ideas from "how the body works" to come up with the most ancient "scuba equipement" and the different animal characteristics to invent. This might have been what would ppl relate as "举一反三". Can you ever imagine things that are what they are now were thought by Da Vinci then? Kinda like he could already see through time.
Next would be regarding this yr's N-day
Have to give my 10 fingers and 10 toes up for this yr's NDP. The music and performance was very well coordinated. It seems to have a greater impact compared to the past yr's NDP. The events by the media was also commendable. Well linked to the Theme. They use a indirect way to lead us to feel that we belong to the company and eventually work together as one.
Was wondering the question on the paper of what I do like about singapore while the cab was cruising along the road. It suddenly came to me that Singapore has really transformed through the years. Singapore has long been famed as the "garden city" long ago. It seemed that this characteristic has become more and more distinct over the years. As the vehicle travelled along the road, from the window, I realise that the car has passed by many unique clusters of buildings. Each cluster of buildings has its own distinct design and these have somehow blended with the greenary, akin to the different races blending together to form the country. It also gave me the idea that the whole community have also made up a garden housed with little 'residents' known as the residential houses. People are like the little bees and other living creatures working busily to keep the garden alive. Looking at these, I also realise that in order to have this, there must have been very proper planning. Were all this already pre-planned long ago when the government started? Or was it due to the later generation (the current ones) that have somewhat used their creativity to slowly mold things to incline in such a way or did was it both that shaped what I saw?
Whatever it is, I realise that the very first thing that I saw when I touched down at the airport after I cleared my attachment in China that reminded me that I am on home ground is the plam trees and boganvilla flowers that lined the expressway from the airport.
