PICTURES OF THE ROLLERBLADING SEQUEL. AND GUESS WHAT, WE’RE HAVING YET ANOTHER SESSION THIS SAT! YES IT’S ADDICTIVE AND GREAT WORKOUT TO NEGATE THE CALORIES. BUT I’D PROBABLY TURN ANOTHER COUPLE OF SHADES DARKER SINCE WEATHER’S UNBEARBLY SUNNY THESE DAYS! :)

Lose some fats, gain some happiness :)

 

The ones that made the past weekend anticipating and enjoyable :)
I think I haven’t properly exercise for the longest time and a simple blading session got me all hyped up! And now I’m hopelessly addicted to rollerblading I wish I could find time to squeeze in a couple of sessions every month even if it means waking up at freaking 08:30am on precious weekend mornings!

Wildlife Trafficking.

I picked up a good read recently and thought it’ll be good to share.

The extent of such acts is astonishingly rampant & sometimes I do get disturbed at how some people can be so blantantly corrupted and yet uprightly call themselves law enforcer. What a shame.

Confiscated at a market in Bangkok, these nocturnal animals can sell for a thousand dollars each in Japan and Russia.

At a farm in Vietnam, bile is pumped from a sedated Asiatic black bear, an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.

Women’s most desired treasures are the ones they can wear.

The newly acquired,
from the beloved.

Happy Ending :)

so after umpteen times of postponement, we finally made our way to the Night Safari! If not for the 50% discount coupon (& the efforts by the beloved), whoknowswhen I’ll give it a visit.

But I’ve to say tram rides are hella expensive, like $10/pax for ONE 45mins ride when in fact you’ve already paid $22 for admission. Then again, the tram ride was kinda of cool cos the place was spooky dark you can’t expect what’s coming and best of all, the commentator has enchanting hands down vocals, I thought I could listen to him all night!

And because my Canon sucks in night mode & it slipped my mind to have it charged so we only managed a couple of decent pictures before the camera decided to die on us.

Contented :)

So 2010 hasn’t been too blanch so far & how time flies really take me by surprise. Anyway,
HERE’S SNIPPETS OF THE LAST OF 2009 & THE DAWN OF 2010!

Seeing these photos simply put a smile to my face :)

What appears to be the end is a new beginning.

The end of 2009 marks the brand new start for 2010.
2009 might not be the best, not the worst, perhaps simply yet another year but I’m satisfied with my endeavors. And 2009 wouldn’t be anywhere near great without these people and as cliché it sounds, thank you for being part of my 2009 and I love you guys deep deep!

2010 shall yet be another wholesome year whereby I hope to,
1) Leave my comfort zone to achieve more extrinsic goals such as earning more money and exploring greater career prospect. I’m not saying I’ll definitely move to greener pastures but should the right opportunities come knocking, I’ll be sure to take them! 2) Pick up a new skill and make myself feel good, be it cooking (I know this seems almost impossible for someone who barely crack an egg well) or a sport (so I can keep fit and lose some poundage at the same time)! 3) Curb all temptations to leave for short escapades  since these nearby holidays could perhaps pay for my ticket to Buenos Aires and I’m saving up for that dream vacation I’ve been putting off! 4) Cultivate healthier sleeping hours so you’ll be seeing less of me online at unearthly hours BUT if you do see me, please tell me to hit the sack! 5) Successfully pass my TP on first attempt so please bless me with the most benevolent examiner. This way I can be spared from going back to that god forsaken place and the freaking expensive course lessons.

I know this is a truckload of thoughts so let’s hope the images compensate for the monotonity!

Sun, Sand, Sea and Serenity II

With all the intentions to rest, recuperate and relax, we weren’t disappointed. 

Besides the tour coach which was obscenely late for twenty minutes and the overloaded speed boat which we reckon took on a good ten more than the stipulated numbers, the tour was very well worth and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!  The islands around Phuket truly are idyllic island paradises. They have stunning coastlines with crystal azure waters which simply put you mind at ease.

I admit I’m lazy, hence I’ll churning day two & three of our trip into one entry!

What luxury we had to snorkel in such crystal clear waters! :)

I’ve tamed the Big Red Bird.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Sidetrack a little. I reckon I should take this festive occasion to express my love & appreciation to my significant other. I think it’s incredibly amazing how far we’ve came and every single bit has been kicking butt so far. I’m immensely grateful for his accomodation, tolerance and most importantly, his presence.

Marcusong, you know you’re being loved :)

Marcus is on Markus if you’ve not spotted :)

Sun, Sand, Sea and Serenity I

So it felt way good to shake off the shackles of work and jump into a holiday just before the year concludes. And god knows how that work wonders on someone who view travel as equal parts to art and adventure. Well, I’m still hoping for more off-beat and far-flung travel destinations this twenty-ten and hopefully the lovely S.O.N.Y will introduce some massive bonuses that allow for such spendthrift indulgence. 

Phuket’s not new to me since I’ve been there when I was a little girl but I could barely remember the details except this particular memory of me owning an incredibly cute PINK lion bag from Phuket which followed me for a long time. I supposed I really liked it alot.

Such pristine waters, who can resist?
