Wall of encouragement









This's pretty old... But it never fails to cheer me up to know that my amateur photos are being appreciated. When everything's finally over, I'm so going to make it up to my beloved neglected cameras.

Thank you May May for recognizing them. :D

All I want for Christmas...










Here we are again. The last month of the year.
There is absolutely nothing that I do not love about it.

The sight of Christmas decorations
Winter clothing on display that makes you all warm and fuzzy (okie i know we're in a tropical country :[)
Christmas carols
How Starbucks look so welcoming
How everybody seems to be happier, and more forgiving
The beautiful truth of this festival...

I guess we all look forward to the end of something
Be it a school semester, the entire academic life, or even good things like holiday trips.
It makes you feel accomplished so that you can move to greater heights.

I guess that's why I love December so much.
At the end of the year, it allows me to savor the good and be hopeful toward the not-so-good events for the last time.

Before a brand new start.



Built me and mend me.

Happy birthday 老爸!




Happy birthday dearest 世紀新好男人!



Thank you for learning to let go of your daughter even though it's beyond your character.
Thank you for silently support your daughter even though you know she has chosen the harder path.

Though I only show it through patting of your back and you'll probably never get to see this blog, I really want to you to know that I love you.

I thank God everyday for a awesome father like you.

Hoping.




We're not fragile, we're just learning to cope.


One day... we will eventually get it.

Bonjour Paris






I would love to set off on a long trip
and be a drifter

London Paris Barcelona
Israel Greece Ireland

I would love to embark on a journey
with accepting my true self as the final destination.

I'll come home with a possibly empty wallet *okie just not bankrupt la*
but also a fuller heart
and a complete self.

After all,
mission is only considered accomplished when you're home.


I would love to...

Count my blessing #1





I remembered reading one of Fang's blog entry on her past look/hairstyles and it spurned my interest of doing something similar. But not having learnt the importance of back-up, I lost all my images after 2008.... BAH!

So in an attempt to retrieve my old pics, I dedicated myself to reading my besties' blogs archive all over again for the past one month.

But I've found more than just images of our past outings and heipi times; tears and laughter, fragments of our past memories, dangerous yet cherished reminders of who I used to be.

No amount of apology can ever make up to what I've lost. Similarly, I can't be ever more grateful to be appeased with my current state *i think*. I remembered during one of my many late night chat with May, I came to a revelation that my life's actually ain't bad but I guessed I'm a pretty short-sighted/ dramatic *pui pui* / sensitive to see.

With this thought still freshly in mind, I'll like to start counting my blessing and make my way back to the chirpy girl I used to know.

Here goes:

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Alfred Lord Tennyson


And so, I am blessed.

Sunny days are hard to come back lately.




People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

風沙星辰 永遠相伴



第一次經過沿海公路到台北




The famous 麻辣鍋 (have to make reservation at least 1 week beforehand!) 還是鴛鴦的!


New-found love: duck-blood




幸福-ing at 士林夜市 (double chin alert :'[)


What you see when you stepped out of my company's lift..


Enjoying a nice cup of Hazelnut latte at 誠品 bookstore at 12am~






早餐是 Rock and Roll!!!










Oh my love~ my mee sua








忠孝東路東區






台北lomography embassy






從台北回來已經快2天了,還在High中
感動中
感慨中

一場演唱會
把親情,友情,愛情,熱情都集合在一起
原 來人生可以這樣的燦爛
原來愛而為一的力量
是如此的震撼

我們是那麼的近又遙遠
但我似乎好像可以感受到你們1/10 的難過和幸福
更不敢相信,我竟然有這個機會可以分享到你們這份幸福,我已經忍不住留下喜悅的眼淚。。。











雖然偶爾會孤單 雖然等候太漫長 萬一青春太短~ 但是只要看遠方 就能再堅定信仰 只有最好的你能 給最好的愛



我的夢想實現了,我真的可以死而無憾了:D

That's my boy / pa.






I'm very seldom happy about giving money away (especially from my measly pay), but giving my pa 家用 (token amount somemore) and seeing his toothless smile (removed his denture as he's preparing to sleep) really warm my heart after a long tired day.
