Faith.
Beautiful piece I got hooked on to at the Elemental concert.

You can never really expect people to understand you if you're unable to understand yourself first. It's nice to take some time off those books/piles of tutorials and just take a breather.
That's what everyone needs.
A breather.

"Tell me all your hopes, dreams and fears."
That moment when you're on your bed, about to fall asleep & innumerable thoughts start to circle in your head. You think about what's been occurring in your life as of lately. With so much going on, all you really want to do is take a step back and wish for everything to pause in its tracks. Sometimes when it gets overwhelming, you experience this sort of suffocation(not literally). You just need someone to pull you out of it. That someone you can trust.

Written in the stars.
Regardless of the circumstances,You always have a choice.
To react to the things that occur around you.
To get up and press on or to falter and back down.
Sometimes all you need is a little push. A little motivation. Words of wisdom. A little assurance. A pillar of support.
Get a grip of the situation/ logic>emotions/suck it up like a man.
At the end of the day, you turn out stronger. Stronger than you think you are.

The desire to be reassured naturally lies in the human nature. We all need reassurance once in a while. Something to keep us grounded when we're drifting elsewhere. Something to ease all our worries/doubts/insecurities. Something to let us know that whatever time/effort/love we're putting in is really worth it. It's like a blanket of comfort and warmth; Something to keep the heart at rest.

Because We Believe
Finally back from OGL camp and i have 2 words to describe it ; No Regrets. It was a really uplifting and meaningful experience being able to work with different people. One of the more exhausting camps but definitely worth my 3 days. Couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the last few weeks of my holidays. It has opened my mind and soul to more things in life and have a better perspective. I thank god for the wonderful friends I've met and the little things that make the whole journey worthwhile.
Here's to Orientation '12.

Bali 2011
Trip to Bali was really amazing because;
#1 Food is Cheap.
Don't get me started. You can find these scrumptious dishes at just about any corner of the streets. Prices are really affordable (One bowl costs less than a dollar!!!) Their Es Teler is so gooooood and authentic they just spam avocados in it. I've found a strong liking for that fruit during the trip. Just too bad Singapore has it really expensive. I cannot explain the joy of having 100% pure fruit juice at just a dollar. Over here, half of it consists of ice/sugar syrup at triple the price. Then again, you can't really compare the cost of living between both countries.
#2 Beautiful place with breathtaking nature
#3 Intricately carved statues everywhere.
You'll love it if you're into arts like my brother.
#4 You gain more knowledge.
(History/religion/culture/tradition/way of life)
Mostly thanks to the taxi driver we hired for the entire trip there. The Balinese people are very inviting and friendly. Thank god we were quite fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, so there was not much of a communication barrier.
#5 Trying out things for the first time.
I rode on a jet ski.
Went Snorkeling in the clear blue waters.
Went for a full body spa.
Fish spa
Played pool.
Went internet-less for almost a week (almost died hahaha)
I guess the whole point of a holiday really is to grow closer as a family and just enjoy whatever that comes your way. It was definitely an enriching and memorable trip & i'm looking forward to more :-)

Starting to think this dream catcher i got from Bali really works. Haven't had bad dreams in a while. Speaking of which i should probably start blogging more actively and update this space on a regular basis. My laziness has got to stop. I have tons of photos from the Bali trip and so many things to blog about. This week has got to be the most kickass one out of the whole December holidays. Truly truly blessed. I just need to find the time to really sit down and sort out my thoughts.

Spent the afternoon having brunch with the family/cousins and decided to satisfy the craving for something sweet by having Ben & Jerry's over at Dempsey. The place was so cozy/warm and it definitely had the Christmas vibe going on. I love the interior. I think I have this affinity for pretty Christmas lightings. The way they sparkle and glimmer makes the atmosphere so much more magical and beautiful. The ones along Orchard Road and Vivo tops my list :-)

3rd class gathering.
I guess its just really a matter of time that you realise how much you've grown closer and bonded as a class. You discover who your classmates really are as individuals and learn to deal with it, good or bad. The people whom you once thought to be arrogant/unsociable/quiet turned out to be those that brighten up your mundane school days, one way or another. I thank god for having them in my Junior College life.
