Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight.

And so the first person i personally know from the 1988 batch got officially married yesterday.

It was a hollywood scene of bliss right straight from the movies.

The lovely venue with the meandering river backdrop,

Tears of joy from both family members and friends,

Thunderous applauses and  words of blessings,

The symbolic exchange of wedding vows,

Sealed with a passionate kiss.

One down, three more to go!

I seriously wonder which one of the above will be the next to get married.

Not me obviously!

Xinru’s heart has been long stolen. (:

-

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you.

May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years,

May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth.

Hello!

Say hello to the new macbook! (:

Star Struck.

Star Struck weekend over at Ritz Carlton for TVB’s Gala Dinner.

Raymond Lam, Wayne Lai, Nancy Sit, Chen Fala, Sonija Kwok, Moses Chen…

The list goes on.

I never really understood the thing about star culture but this event was indeed an eye opener.

Bet my All-Access pass would had been sold for a decent amount that night (:

The Ritz Carlton Toilet experience.

Typical Singaporeans.

ROFL.

AH FENGGG!

RIGHT

-roll eyes-

Mac-a-phobic.

Even a 28mm could not capture all the Mac Meals on the table.

Say noooo to Macs for at least a month.

Starry Starry Night.

School 2.

I was walking around school the other day and overheard this particular conversation amongst two strangers.

Apparently one of them was not a student from SIM and was asking his friend for opinions on the school.

Let A denote the non-student and B the student.

A: “So what’s so unique about SIM other than the fact that it is the largest private University/unofficial public University of Singapore?”

B: “G or PG comments?”

A: “Ermm, G?”

B: “SIM is Disneyland.”

A: “Okayy, so what’s the PG comment?”

B: “Temptation Island!”

(loud laughter from both parties)

So much for school huh.

I love Sundays (:

I love Sundays!

Cause I get to climb (think burn fats),

Take photos,

Spend time with good company,

Have fuss free hawker food and local delightful desserts to end things off.

things just look better in black and white <3

This shot really appealed to me.

Maybe it’s the subtle notes of persevering in the face of adversity.

The will to push yourself beyond the physical pain barrier.

The mindset, the attitude, the intention.

Cheers to life.

Sashimi!

Friends who knows me well enough will realise that i am hardly a spender and i do not spend on impulse.

However, one major weakness i have is my penchant for food/japanese cuisine.

(fast cars and gorgeous ladies too? )

And my personal goal is obviously to spread the love for sashimi.

Just the other day I had the rare opportunity to have dinner with Claudia and obviously it was the chance for me to fulfill my personal obligation when I found out that she does not really fancy raw fish.

Good food, loads of chocolate for dessert and a simple day out.

I love my life.

(:

Love.

My 3 priorities for the Year 2010 -

A son and a brother first,

A student second,

An OE (Outdoor Education) Trainer third.

Yet the lines were blurred once again(what’s new.haha!) during the last 4 days because I had to be all three at the same time. Jones required help and I knew the offer was too great for me to reject.

Think challenging camp programme with no 2IC and virtually all new trainers.

PLUS 0830 morning lectures to attend.

Goodness.

Nonetheless, the Love for the Outdoors made all things seem insignificant.

Yet another day as an Outdoor Instructor (:

2009 in 3 mins! (:

Awesome!

now THIS just replaced the other song played on loop.

I’d buy you Rogaine.

Sweet, snappy song playing on loop.

Just cant get the tune out of the head.
