Trip to Singapore 2009

Haven't been to Singapore for two years but I still remember how Fandy, a good friend from University, took me and Molly around Singapore in 2007. I went through the old pictures and found that I was in the same flight heading towards Singapore two years ago. Sad thing this time is a lonely flight but lucky thing is I get to meet Singapore expatriates from Europe [well, mostly Spanish and French], whom I get to meet and talk with them.

Visited a few good places - Sentosa, Merlion, City Center, Orchid Garden and most of all took a good rest. I was thinking a bit too much during this trip but I guess it's all eagerness and my dreams and thoughts just kept flushing out of my storage (brain) and things got a bit tangled up. No matter how, I am who I am so nothing much I can really change here. However, my friend was right - I don't admit it at all. I recall another American friend of mine saying the same to me. Gosh, that really suck- it seems that I haven't grown! Or maybe I have grown but the same mentality remains...

My spirituality was somehow maintained through going to a Sunday mass and linking "Busy" to "Leave everything to God". These two may seem contrasting points for one to balance and truly to strive an equilibrium is definitely hard. Anyhow, to love life and enjoy it is to be in the first and make sure the latter has been applied. Funny isn't it but a simple Bible reading derives this complexed thought.

Very beautiful Orchids!

Flight back was ok but as anyone will always want - more holidays. I am looking forward to more holidays and hopefully a good one will come soon!

Sleep, work and eat - that's life?

This week I came across the need to accept the fact that "normal life" is just working around the perspective of "sleep", "work", and "eat". However, this truth is undeniable - any sort of parties, gatherings, reunions or extra activities are all add-on. The core cycle of Homo-sapiens to live surrounds around these three aspects. But the thing is how you improvise from each and every one of it. Take "work" as an example. Of course, work is not just working in an office - it can be working on things that you are interested in and thing that interest you. Note that, the three core values are inter-linked. Never can one be independent of each other. This is a cycle where even the strongest link have to abide to.

Miserable as this may seem, the basis of life is formed and therefore kicking off to a life in which one will enjoy is also based on this mechanism. You can gather with friends after "work" and "eat" (or drink which is correlated to eating) and enjoy the time with them. However, the preparation and post-activity work always fall into "sleep", no matter how little you stick with your bed.

Therefore, to all those who are in seek of a job - your "work" now is to "work hard" and find a job and carry on "working" and to prepare for it, you need the two important modules - "sleep" and "eat" to stay alive. To those who are working (including myself) - you have to "work" and carry on enjoying and keep on the interest with the "work". It's hard in this economy but it will come - no matter how much the boss is getting fussy about things; afterall, it is a learning experience (at least, in the cases of people in my age range). Perceptions developped all belongs to use but never forget the graces you are given... so, enjoy life and praise the almighty!

Current enthusiasm to track my log in aviation drives me to dig in every single possibility of tracking my flight experiences. The more you search, the more you find how much have you forgotten. Man brain performs well in short-term but when it comes to back-tracing memory, even a 23-year old like me will say "I am getting old!"

This is my incentive for my next trip to Singapore to jot down as most as I can all that I will see and feel. I will, at the same time, start the reading procedure that I have long wanted. Work simply doesn't make you read!

I found that I have 70+ flights flew in my life... let's try hunting for more!
