the fun in it all...

... is to enjoy all this with someone else. preferably.. you.
.
it's been ages since i've been to ubin, and sunny today seemed as good as any other for a boat ride to the most accessible inaccessible place in singapore, pulau ubin! ok some of you might not agree with me, but i must say nothing gets you feeling you're miles away from singapore like being in faraway changi village getting ready to go on a boat ride to ubin. the salty air, the sea spray, kampung feel. i probably will not get enough of it in this lifetime. and i'd love to share it all with you.. but since you cant be there yet, here ya go.. =)

the force of habit.

yea yea... i know i havent been blogging, but habits are hard to break right? so yes i will try, i will try to break this habit of not blogging here as much as i used to. this habit thing is strange indeed. we know it exists, but usually we just tell ourselves "tts us now, we're used to it, it cant be changed so let's just leave it". and then we really do leave it alone because we believe that to be the only way. if it is a gd habit then good and well.... if it's a bad one (i dont wanna venture there)....
.
it cant you say? tell that to a neighbour next door who lost a favourite pet of 6 years. tell that to the man that had the use of his limbs till war came about and he lost both legs to a landmine. tell that to a grandpa who smoked for more than 40 years before quitting successfully. tell that to any 18yr old male in singapore who never had a cold shower in his life. =P
.
but i believe the bottomline here is mindset (or the lack of choice). the human mind that allows for so many of the wonderful things in life. a belief in yourself does wonders. well ok, you might need a lil reminder here and there (and quite probably a kick and a poke too) but life has often given us enough examples to show us that habits can be broken. cycles can be gotten out of. things can be changed.
.
at the end of it all, it is just a choice that we make. so take stock of our life from time to time, make every moment count. today might just be the day we start breaking out of the old routines in life to build a better one for the days to come. am i right or am i right? technically i could be wrong but do correct me, pls do. =P

ps: remind me to put parking coupons each and everytime i leave the car, even if it is for 5mins. cos you'll never knw what hit you when you see 4 parking attendents walking ard serangoon gardens at the same time. rawr!
