Back and Tagged

Before i do this "I got tagged!!" thing. Let me explain on this long hiatus. Basically the last time i blogged was the time i started using my new Mac. Blogger ain't very friendly with Safari Browser. Right now i am in Brunei for Overseas Detachment. And i am using a PC. Thats kinda degrading hahahah. Apple fan here. Anyway let me get back to where i need to, to show that my blog isn't dead, just dormant.

I got tagged!! To list down 6 weird things about myself before tagging 6 other people… Heehee…

1) I don't eat most things which are dug up from the ground i.e. Tapioca, Sweet Potato & Turnip etc. But I do eat Potato...only processed potato...like chips, fries and mashed. Thats what you're thinking weird.

2) I was a Tracker since 13, i trained alot. for example when u are taking a nap, out for movies, making out after school or probably detention, I am training. Believe i cannot jog more than 800m. You should.

3) I think of the next meal when i'm having a current meal. While eating my lunch, I'll ask my dining mates, What are we gonna have for dinner?

4) I'm a natural left handed, i play sports with my right. I punch a high energy with my right just for your info.

5) I'm as good as a chicken in the water. Not at all a good swimmer. Doing those graceful styles in swimming. But this dun seemed that way when i fully submerge myself. I'm actually quite good in water. But then again i try swimming like anyone on the surface. I actually sucked and look ugly and not move. But then again and again and again.... (not problem at all with my fins and air tank.)

6)I have a fantastic memory and ability to memorise..one that really startles people.

I'm not gonna tag it on to anymore people. So i guess the fun stops at me. I'll be posting on more about what happened during this hiatus and whats happening in Brunei. I'll be back in singapore on 30th April.

Tyersall House / Istana Woodneuk

This place was originally a 27ha land that hosted the residence (tyersall) of William Napier, built in 1854. Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor was given the house and land by the colonial authorities (for a "low price") in partial exchange for land facing the then Tanjong Pagar Docks. After acquiring the property, he replaced Napier's house with the Istana, complete with 10ha of garden.

CHIJMES

Went during the IMF period. There was hardly anyone and the feeling there was peaceful. Once in awhile there was a cool breeze blowing along the corridors. You can call it a haven in the middle of a bustling city.

Growing Old With You

From the seeds of love, to the full bloom of the roses and to withering and crisps,

growing old with you, my love is.

BOAT QUAY

Families out to have dinner, tourists in river taxis taking relaxing tour around Singapore's rich heritage and couples enjoying the slight breeze as the sun sets. At the end of the day, the boatmen tired but satisfied with the day's takes. All in a peaceful Singapore. Back at the hawker centre i ordered "Uncle, mee siam mai hum."

A rememberance to the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin

He was a passionate environmentalist who spent his life promoting conservation.

He died doing what he loves best.
