don't pause too long.

it's been a while since i've last blogged. it's just that uni has been busy, and i haven't been managing my time well, which resulted in me being rather stress the whole of last week. but it's all good now! the long easter weekend and the one week break i'm gonna have this coming monday will allow me to get back on track! :) so what happened in the past two weeks? well, pretty much assignments, golf, badminton...went for a party hosted by the SSA (Singapore Student Association), drove and stayed overnight at the South Coast this weekend and did a little bit of shopping today. i was pretty groggy during shopping cause me and Shelley finished a whole bottle of Rosé during our late lunch. and i think my body somehow doesn't process wine very well..lol! oh yea, i loved to do more reading too, but i'm already swamped with heaps of reading from uni. but here's a good book to read. it contains snippets of thoughts and reflections by a Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho. The title of the book is Like The Flowing River. it's easy to read as each piece is 4 pages maximum, which makes it good for people who find that they can't dedicate enough time for a book. another highlight of the book is that it really pushes you to think and contemplate about life.

anyways, i'm also working on a new blog skin for this blog. it's in the process, design-wise it's almost done, but i just have some difficulty with the coding. blah! i really hate codes, and to think that i have a major website due in June for one of my courses this semester. here's a little sneak preview of it.


*the soon to be revamped 7HoursAway*

the new blog will hopefully take on a new approach. it'll share more about my life such as books i'm reading, music i'm listening to, current muses, more pictures, and maybe videos too! i'll also try to post songs i've written, well, the ones that don't suck too much..lol! i hope i'll be able to get my acoustic guitar soon. would like to play and practise more. realized i didn't dedicate enough time to the guitar the last time i was learning classical. but yep, i wish to write more songs too. not necessarily to make hits, but as a way to narrate and portray my life. it's a good way to channel emotions too! :)

i'll end off with some pictures from the South Coast trip and a personal thought.


*Grand Pacific Drive*


*thank goodness i wasn't the one driving*


*lighthouse at Wollongong*


*Kangaroo Valley Golf Club*

and now for the personal thought/quote...i'm not sure if this is original, but then again, what's original nowadays? haha.


people always seek the answer to the question, "what's the meaning of life?"
as simple as it may seem, it's a difficult question to answer.
for some, the meaning of life could be attaining great success; creating a fortune.
for others, the meaning of life could be simply making others smile.
so what's the meaning of life?
i believe we each create and define our own meanings.
there's no hard and fast rule for living life.
it is after all, OUR life.

choose your own meaning of life, stick to it, and most importantly, believe in it.
