There's nothing that sucks more than not having enough time. I didn't think I'll have to send this post from email again.
Didn't have time to archive memories from the previous trip. It was just a fantastic trip with awesomely fun and cozy friends. If I thought I wanted to relax there, my wish was fulfilled!
That trip, I was thinking to enjoy more than take pics. That I did too. With the 50mm lens there wasn't much to capture also. I tried to capture those moments more with my eyes and heart coz there isn't any better place to keep the memories than in my heart.
The other day, I was watching a series from the very first episode. It was like reliving their memories after their 10 years of life, and the feeling was nostalgic and pleasant. I think when I rewind the tape of my heart and relive those memories, it'll be the greatest feeling ever in life.
Thank you to my friends who made it happen!
I'm gonna leave soon for Burma and will be disconnected for the next week. To my friends in Singapore, have a great holiday and wish you hybrid happy new year!
So sleepy now. And so hard to type from small little phone. So gonna just shorten it.
Got up at 5 and prepare for the beach day. We left at 745 and got to the pier around 9 I guess. Then took speed boat to the island. We were adventurous and sat at the bow side of the boat. It was so bumpy at the front. But the view is spectacular! the vast sea and the enormous space! really love it!
Then got to The small beach and did some swimmig and photo taking. The water was so clean and the rocks were so beautiful!
Then snorkeling! It was so hard to move around with the flippers! Swimmm in the sea is just so different from doing that go pool. The worst thing is it's too too salty! can't open mouth at all. Sometimes water went down the nose and the whole air passage way got so burning! I really hate that. I got it worst when I got a full gulp of that salty water. I thought I would pass out from getting thirsty.
But the fish and coral were so beautiful!!! Loved it!
After that visiting some other beaches and had fun.
Dinner was at the same restaurant. But there was no going around as it started to rain. Gotta rest now to get up early for tmr again.
Soon, will be taking off to the holiday destination! Don’t know what exciting things await there yet, but I hope it will be a relaxing vacation trip. :)
Just anxious about the weather and checked it on some weather sites. BBC forecast is the least I like:
Heavy Rain Shower? Are you kidding? I hope BBC is! (But Weather.com also gives somewhat similar forecast. Only AccuWeather gives forecast I would love to be right.)
Anyway, I gotta go back to packing (which I haven’t done at all yet) =D
It was just a casual visit to the Botanic Garden…to play monopoly in the garden. What a weird idea I would say! LOL!
This tree must have been at least several decades old. So huge its trunk is!
It was the first time I saw a non-yellow-color sunflower. I am not sure if they have been intentionally bleached or if I’m just ignorant of this type of sunflower.
I don’t know what that is. I also didn’t expect that it would look that way when I took the shot. Turns out it doesn’t look that bad. I’m glad that I made myself look awkward taking that shot. In the end, got this photo that I like. :)
There were lots of weddings and couples taking wedding photos.
These two little girls came to our place and happily played with the stuffs left over from a wedding celebration. I got myself plenty of time to take photo of them while they were playing around. I think their cloth color and the background made nice match!
I thought it would just look ordinary, but after editing the color tones, I think it’s not bad. It gives some kind of reflective mood. :)
Then off to City Hall to have dinner. Lucky that I wasn’t the loser in the game. :)
I have always admired St. Andrew Cathedral at City Hall. Though not a good photo, I think that' was the best of all what I got of it. =D I was so limited with the 50mm lens; I tried moving backward but I would not risk being run over doing that though.
Then off to Orchard for some more photo taking. I couldn’t help but complain about the deer this season. What’s wrong with them?!!!

Been hearing about this so much on the web, but still haven’t seen it yet. Just realized that I could try it from clicking on links in Google Trend.
Turns out that it’s really cool to have search results scrolling all the time. =D Perhaps Google can offer a watch-page for certain keywords that will keep showing the latest results scrolling all the time.
Coincidently, Finance also got real-time scrolling news. =D
I don’t know when it went live, but anyway, it’s live now. I’m glad that quite a number of pretty good extensions are already there on Chrome. [I’m still waiting for BetterGmail extension though.]
The Google Translate extension is really cool and fast in translation though I have nothing good to translate (and understand the new language) anything. =D
I think it only runs on the Beta channel of Chrome. Need this channel switcher to move to a Beta or Dev channel (I just anyhow set to Dev just to make sure the browser is updated).
Sooner or later, gotta choose between Firefox and Chrome? I don’t really wanna leave Firefox just because a newer and better one comes along; that would be too cruel to Firefox. :x
Update: I just realized that I didn’t need to restart the browser to install extensions on Chrome. Firefox should really update its install procedure!!!
It’s really a hot trend now. One article said it was rumored that Woods is linked with as many as nine women. That’s a lot dude. But, I’m curious to know if they claim any credibility beyond doubt. :)
Chrysler is trying to improve its public image through this commercial. A good move!
A nice high-res clip from BBC. I have never seen them that close. I also didn’t think that there would be that big remains of the preys after several days of digestion.
Too bad it can’t be embedded though.
I think I should pay back (no matter how small my contribution may be) to a source where I got so much of my knowledge every week, if not everyday.
A lot of conflicts the world is seeing these days are between the religions: Christian vs Islam and Islam vs Jew.
Why not God, Allah and Yahweh call for a divine conference and resolve the issues their followers are having at hand? Aren’t all of them the omnipotent and benevolent? Isn’t it time yet for them to take some actions for their followers if they are all benevolent?
Hmm…Burma and Saudi Arabia? They got no business to do actually. Saudi also has nothing to benefit from Burma too. But, an interest-free loan (possibly without a deadline for repayment) is just like giving the money away. For Saudi, USD 8m is just the size of a sesame seed and this would just be a no issue for them as a diplomacy gift.
But, how many of the 8m will be used for the proposed irrigation?

Yes. Paul is absolutely right. Giggs has been the most loyal and influential player the Reds have ever got the service of!
By the way, Paul is considering retiring soon, which makes me realize (not that it’s an unknown fact till now) that players retire before 40! When can I retire? 50 may be even still too early! :x

I just saw Google Dictionary from a new article that says it’s gonna replace Dictionary.com. Yes, I really think it SURELY will. For all the words it has in its dictionary, Google shows detailed information and for anything it doesn’t have in the dictionary, it still shows the Web definitions! One weird thing is that Google Dictionary doesn’t have the word Google in its own dictionary; I think it should have it and the definition is simply “searching the web using Google search engine” (I remember that’s the definition given by Google).
Not just English dictionary. It can also do translations and Foreign Language > English dictionary too.
