I ain't talking..

Last weekend was beautiful because of the extra day leave from a national holiday. So what do we do on a hot lazy day? Barbecue! This time it was just with the family sans friends because it was decided rather at the last minute. It was a good session, and I don't mind having this weekly.

The lights went out.

Oh, did we lose electricity?

Then came the song.

Knew it. Should've seen it coming.

"Shhh.. Blow the candle"
"Wait, make a wish first!"

Funny(not) how time waits for no one and if you don't catch the wave, you'd end up left behind. Friends that was once yours to spend time with are on their own separate journey. Unfinished books that was once sparkly clean with its woody new smell that are now yellow with faded edges. Of course, it's not a lost case, you just need to take the effort to take a step back from your own fast track and reach out to grasp the opportunity.

So hold on tight, don't get too caught up in the whirlwind, and enjoy life to the fullest while it last!

I know we don't reveal what we wish for. But I'm not a fan of superstition.

I simply wish for happiness.

My dad's the kind who takes every opportunity to take us for a trip away from home whenever there's school holiday. I suppose that's because it's the only time he ever have a time off. I might grumble sometimes - but in the end, I'm grateful for the family time.

So this time around we went to none other than, Penang! ..Okay, Ipoh along the way for breakfast. It was a rather short trip, a one night stay. Because it was a last minute decision to go there, we didn't book any place. We were prepared to stay at YMCA hostel. Alas, when we reached there it was decided to skip it for another hotel.

I was looking forward to sing YMCA!

My dismay was short-lived because the place we ended up was kinda cool. B Suite, check it out - It's considerably cheap, spacious, really big army shower head (think waterfall!). Okay the only drawback is it's not in town, it's further south of the island. But it's a good alternative to the hustle and bustle.

I'm sure every single soul who goes to Penang never fail to eat its popular food, so I'll spare you the details. One of the place we went was somewhere new, Straits Quay. The atmosphere was really soothing, relaxing and you can see friends and families hanging out by the seafront. The highlight for me that day was the colourful wind fans. There were hundreds of it. It's hard to pass an opportunity to go to Penang. Wait for me another day!


The think-something-funny moments..

Just your typical birthday celebration night, to embarrass oneself by singing or deliver a speech. In this case, both.

Happy birthday, Michelle!

The year-end passed so quickly, didn't it? When I blinked and take a deep breath, I find myself attending friends' weddings, relatives growing up and older, people changing; hair styles, clothing, voice. Technology has also found a way to root itself into our lives.

So what's on your mind?

The weekend before ushering into the new year has been a blast. Literally I might add. Haven't been to a beach that was so windy-in-your-face in a long time. I can't remember when was the last time, in fact.

Well don't hesitate, it's not too late.

Found this somewhere in my media collections, the stuff we do when we were younger..


I'm always thankful for my family and friends. Love you guys, happy new year :)

Admittedly, that was what I was going to call out until I realized in a split second that porridge is indeed made out of rice.

I love asking questions on Sunday. More often than not, the answers will unfold itself. Early this week, I was just wondering about life and death, and hating the idea of losing loved ones. Later that morning, I got my answer in the form of Ecclesiastes 3. Somehow, it's better hearing than reading it yourself.


Indeed, everything has its time. Laughing to myself, I was rest assured.

I suppose I haven't been talking much these days, have I? :) When I'm not talking, I've been taking it out on the pictures. Notice that thing at the right side of the page? A little bit below.. Below the chatter box, below the music bar. Yes - it's new, the picture stream.

But excuse the photo quality, I usually take it on the go. Camera is in hiatus mode. At the rate I'm going, my photo stream will probably speak more than me. I... like the feeling of walking down the street or doing my own thingo and a moment stop my steps halfway just because I saw a 'frame' and I just have to take that picture.

Talking about pictures, here's some editing and composition I did recently. Feel like playing spot the difference?
