Lou Hei

Quiet and simple celebration with the family. <3

Phuket 2011

Back from Phuket, Thailand! (:

Phuket presented me with the darker side of tourism and how the society operates on a whole. Vice, prostitution, the apparent lack of feminism, scams, commercialization; hedonistic lifestyles to be precise. It was…saddening and opened my eyes to many lessons and issues that can never be learnt through the mass media or text books per se.

On the flip side of the coin, it was a simple trip made together with the JC clique. For once, it was for leisure instead of it being work related. Cheap beers, overwhelming amount of tomyamsoup, green curry and mango sticky rice to recharge the weary souls. Not to mention the endless haggling, bargain hunting and rows upon rows of counterfeit goods.

Phuket, I’ll be back. (:

thankyou

This is for the outstanding bunch of people that made a significant difference in my life for the year 2011.

They came from all walks of life and vastly differently backgrounds; old college friends, juniors i never knew existed, peers that promised to bring me out for a breakfast…that never came, companions whom I had the honor of working together to slay monsters and to kill heroes despite our very obvious skills and level differences, a NS buddy who introduced me to the hidden world inside his PSP, comrades that fought side-by-side in the treacherous grounds of zouk-ressic park, an Angel that brought much joy and laughter into my life, a Goddess that had a penchant for the bottle, fellow university classmates that threw caution into the wind when it came to academic work only to find ourselves burning multiple midnight oil to meet deadlines and most importantly, a Neighbour that taught me the importance of humbleness, imparted me the lost art of pangsai-ing and appreciating the beauty of Running.

This is for you people.

Thankyou, for simply being in my life.

(:

Day Two at 0307 on loop.

Aged.

At a recent camp assignment I undertook…

Me: “Most importantly, how old do you think I am based on your first impression..?”

Trainer A: “Hmmmm, 27 to 30..?” (in a totally confident and honest tone)

Me: “-_- whaaaaaaaat, guess again!” (getting all depressed by the answer)

Trainer A: “You mean you’re older..? Say Mid 30s..?” (spoken with innocence and curiosity)

Me: “….OUCH…..”  (totally dejected)

Talk about having a weather bitten and mature outward appearance eh..?

OH WELLLLL

Picnic Day! <3

Spent one lazy Wednesday afternoon with the university clique over at Botanic Gardens. No weekend crowds, long queues and jostling. Just a simple picnic amongst friends while soaking up to the peace and tranquility of the surroundings.

I have this pet peeve when it comes to picnics – there must be a rattan basket to complete the whole concept.

Pretty, mouth-watering delights! (:

 ”Finger Food” redefined. Dont let the plain, ordinary exterior fool you! This is the most expensive item I’ve ever tasted in all my picnics ever. No kidding! Gold powder and white caviar perhaps..? (:

Light, bubbly drinks (i adore Ciennas and Moscatos!) to wash away the day’s fatigue.

The colours of my university life. (:

Game of the Year!

Let the games begin!

Everybody was kungfu fighting~
