define happiness

whenever I promise I'll be back in this space more often, I don't. Opps.
a better work-life balance is needed perhaps, just like what PM Lee mentioned in the national rally minutes ago.

It's been more than a year since I graduated and started my career path properly.Strangely enough, this year hasn't been as smooth-sailing as the past. oh wells, think POSITIVE and things will only get better. I pushed all the blame to my zodiac though, cause I was being told that the dragon babies will have a tough year for 2012. I have since stopped eating my favorite meat - BEEF OH BEEF! if that brings me more luck. I'm not any greedy, I don't pray for more wealth, just good health for everyone and everything to go well for me and my loved ones.



so WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?



Been ill for the past 10 days - fever, cough, sore throat, sounded like a Bapok, or even worse than that!
the lack of exercise + all the non-nutritous meals -> the culprit!

Finally felt much better and had a great celebration with my boy yesterday :)

mad love this photo :)

Lunchd at this place, ION. 

Been wanting to try for really long. 

Here's mine, 

Seared Scallop Linguine $24

a tad salty

and boy had this

Oriental Grilled King Salmon with soba $26

which tasted much better than my linguine I thought

For the sweet tooth

Chocolate Deluxe. Coffee and Almond cupcake

As I'm blogging with all the photos above, I'm reminded of a video that I just watched recently. 

Here's a good one!

Paint a Colorful Singapore

my alarm went off at six this morning.

and I got myself ready for the long day ahead. 

Hitched a ride from boss and off we headed to Jurong Point for Social Creatives Flag Day.

we were tasked to manage the booth in the west, and there were two other stations - newton & pasir ris.  

somehow, myo agreed to help us today :)

so this was like really my final time working together with this dude, aka my buddy. 

we both took on a donation bag and started decorating them with some markers, it's supposed to be 'COLORFUL SINGAPORE' so... of course the bags shouldn't be left plain white. 

Ta Dah! 

Here's my not-so-creatively-colored bag!

I added some firework later on but didn't snap a photo of it. 

In an effort to canvas for more donations, we set up a booth for face & body painting. 

I requested for a butterfly on my hand, and again, didn't take a photo of it. 

It also kinda 'flew away & disappear' by the middle of the day. 

large crowd waiting for their turn to get some pieces of art on them. 

its popularity brought us about a couple of hundreds in the donation box! 

We were also blessed with super enthusiastic & motivated volunteers from Bukit View Sec where they refused to stop even when we announced that the event has ended. 

So, what's this whole COLORFUL Singapore about???

Apparently, there's a budding arts charity organization 

- Social Creatives, 

where they help paint 1-rm HDB flats for the needy families. 

Not only that, they get the troubled youths involved in their community projects, which helps build a better community within our country.

I have always been skeptical about all these fund-raising efforts but having done it for today, I've witnessed the beauty of mankind; encouraged by people's generosity and love for one another. 

WE ARE ONE! 

i'm gonna live my life

I'll be back in this space soon! :)
