Colour and Symmetry Part Deux

When I turn 30...

it will be a major turning point and milestone of my pathetic life.

Colour and Symmetry

Life is the Greatest JOKE God ever played on Me...

I just wanna register this as my quote.

It's a pessimistic quote which I came up with and liked a lot. This pretty much describes how I feel about Life in general. Really... I dun see anything much worth living for. Life is overrated, too long-winded and so damn boring.

Okay... whatever... better stop here before my friends start to get worried...

euNICE Cookies

euNICE made some a BIG tub of NICE cookies to hone her bakery skills. The cookies are the flat cheeeewwwwyyyyy kind with raisins and Cadbury chocolate! Tasty... but there goes my waistline (if I had any in the first place)!

True Wealth

This is my new love on my way to work. 93.8 Live. This is from the segment 'A Slice of Life - The Power of Stories'.


True Wealth
----------

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how the poor people live so he could be thankful for his wealth.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah" said the son. "So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

With this the boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

One Season Many Faces

Caught the outreach performances of the Singapore Arts Festival at Simei Eastpoint. This performance is called 'Heroes of the La-La Land' by a group of Singapore artistes called Fireflys. Not bad.

Congrats to Renjie and Liting!

It's indeed a joyous occasion and great fun shooting at the bridge near the Inddor Stadium.

I'll post the photos of Renjie and Liting's ROM later...

Please Dun Change The School Song...

浩荡嵯峨气象雄，黉舍峙，狮岛中。
圣洁公义道之宗，肇锡佳名号圣公。
咨爾多士慎磨砻，维上帝，临汝躬。
春弦夏誦莫从容, 干云之木自青葱。
进德修业树风声三教就四德成。
永为基督之精兵永为邦国之干城。

It WAS the school song of my secondary school (Anglican High School). It has been over ten years since I last sang it. I was not able to comprehend and appreciate it back then. But now looking through the lyrics and humming it in my head, I realise there is just so much depth, meaning and literature in it!

After I learnt from Juan's blog that they have revised it (using very very very 普通华文), I cannot help but feel a loss... and I'm sadden by the loss... it felt like a loss of my fond memories of AHS, the sense of belonging, the people I knew and what it had stood for. I hope the school management will think twice about revising such an exquisite school song.

Sam & Carol

Congrats! Phew... photographing 64 tables for your dinner is no joke man!

I miss Japan too!

I was going through some of my old photos and WAH... suddenly the urge to travel just hit me!!!

I miss Paris!

Multi-Racial, Multi-Power

The Rise of two "Superpowers" of the World. China and India.

These was taken at Chinatown and Little India in Singapore. I feel this demonstrated the intrinsic benefits of growing up in a multi-racial society. Believe it or not, Singaporean does have an Edge when it comes to interaction with people of all walks and sorts of lives. "Kiasu" and "going-by-the-book" as we may be... no one can beat us in our ability to adapt cultural diversity!
