2013 Goals

HELLO, ANYONE?? …one …one …one (echo fading away)
Does anyone still visit this blog? I wonder, hmm…

And yesh, it’s been a really long time since anyone has updated the blog… it’s time to write an entry NOW!

So… Happy New Year 2013!

Time to start over! Reflect on 2012, hit the reset button and decide what resolutions you are going to set for the new year. 2103 is going to be the year of goals and priorities for me.

1. Improve returns on saving and investment portfolio.
Gotta beat that ~5% inflation given today’s low savings account rates and zero/low wage increase environment. I’m just hopping to keep my job lor, sad…

2. Make money from banks and credit cards
Yesh, make money out of banks and credit cards, not the other way around. Need to open the right account and use the right credit card to earn promotional perks, rebates, rewards points, etc. And be sure to redeem the rebates dollars and rewards points on the credit cards before they expire.

3. Have a better career
Take control.

4. Spend more time with family and friends

5. Learn something new
Tons of things that I want to learn, e.g. golf, horse riding, cooking, new language, investment strategies, etc… but wait, didn’t I make the goal to play golf and learn horse riding a few years back? Ah, I need to be more discipline, haha.


Have you make your New Year's resolutions? =)

ishot: Art Garden 2012

Art Garden returns for the third year running with an engaging range of contemporary artworks by Singaporean and international artists that will appeal to children and families.

Walter : The curious colossal bunny is back at SAM!

Dancing Solar Flowers : Paper flowers with solar-powered mechanism.

Ping Pong Go-Round : Player can engage in a game with as many players as possible around a donut-shaped table.

Echoes-Infinity-The Forest : Space covered with traditional flower shapes and patterns made using felt, colour pigments and acrylic. Creation and destruction is born when visitors step onto the painted flower garden. Within that space, time and memories are engraved on the floor. With the passing of time, the flowers begin to blur, but the imprint of time, which is eternally present, creates a new space to replace the old.

Kakhé : A variety of symbols and characters of Baweanese culture.

Everyday Wonders : You can create art using everyday objects such as paper clips and clothes pegs to create a variety of print patterns and designs.

Our ‘weak’ attempts at art marking

The Art of Imagination : Interactive installation with graphics and text printed and painted on recyclable cardboard boxes. Visitors can add their personal drawings or re-place and rearrange the boxes to create a new message or image.

Dress Me Up : Play make-believe in this fantasy world of dolls with a fantastical wardrobe of clothes and shoes.

Reactive Wall : Make sounds through a microphone to generate icons to pop up and cover the wall.

Let’s Dance : Dance in a private dance box and share this experience with others as your dance will be projected onto a screen alongside videos of previous participants, making up a huge constellation of dancers.

Grow the Garden in the Dark : An artificial garden on the wall using Origami.

5QU1D : Hybrid squid-like creature embedded with blinking lights.
