林俊杰 & 金莎: 期待爱
My life 一直在等待
空荡的口袋 想在里面放一份爱
Why总是被打败 真的好无奈~
其实我实实在在不管帅不帅 想要找回来 自己的节拍
所以这一次 我要勇敢大声说出来
期待 期待你发现我的爱
无所不在 我自然而然的关怀
你的存在 心灵感应的方向我一眼就看出来 是因为爱
我猜 你早已发现我的爱
绕几个弯 靠越近越明白
不要走开
幸福的开始就是放手去爱...

East Coast Park

Venue: Cable Ski Park, ECP
Weather: Hot; Rainy in the afternoon
Equipments used: Skii & Kneeboarding
Despite applying SPF 30 all over the body, i still got burnt by the sun! Now i got aching arms.. But it was fun, really.
Strolled along the shoreline in ECP without my birkeys, can be therapeutic. Spending the entire day there, wasn't a bad idea, I felt just as relax. GREAT!
Sipping the sugarcane juice, with gentle blowing breeze, while savouring down a couple of small bites. Resting on the stone bench after the sports, and especially the meal, is satisfying. Though it soon pour like cats and dogs, rainy days didnt dampen my mood, but gives me more time to laze around at the pavilion, it can be as nice (Though i really hate the dirty sand/soil sticking onto my skin, yucks!)
What's more, a warm cup of milk tea/hazelnut white coffe, accompanied with the Hong Kong bun (and dry/clean T-shirt) can be really really cosy, right after all the heavy downpour... Awww... *wink*
The day ended with a bowl of hot egg-filled udon at Waraku, and the beautiful view of the sea at night accompanied with a clear sky swarmed by plenty of bright stars. The beaming moonlight, shone right onto the sea, reminded me of my favourite Romantic piece from Chopin's "Nocturne" (Beautiful evening).

CITPM VS PMP
Project Management, that's the way to go!
My interest is actually more on the Right Brain (Creativity side), but a conventional person like me has no courage to dump everything else, including my $30 000's degree, to persue a career in that aspect e.g merely teach piano? swing around in the musical stage? how about paint? haha... I am "Jacks of all Trades, Masters of None". Think I can practise these at leisure instead...
As you can speculate, you should know where I have decided to mould my interest in. I need a balance of Right Brain (Creativity side) and Left Brain (Analysis). Some say Project Management is an ART,and you hear this title quite often, "The Art of Project Management". However, to me it's more than just an art, it's a fusion of both science and art.
As most of my friends tend to be familiar with this, as I have repeated this umpteen times, "you need to have the knowledge (PM Tools and Techiques), as well as the ability to lead/manage people", and I mean all kinds of people in order to be a successful project manager. People who have strong mindset of their own, refuse to listen to you, refuse to attend your meeting, refuse to do what you have nagged them to.... Bottom line, People Management is important!
I see my current PA job in another perspective, now that I have moved out from my previous PM role. Coordination, Communication and People Management are part of the skill sets in a Project Manager, and I am learning that through this role. I have many events to coordinate for, many schedules to meet, and need a strong will to manage all those people (Private bankers can be moody at times, very different from previous; and I tend to see more kinds of different people around), and manage 1 or 2 big shots (who behave like unpredictable weather, can be difficult at times).
Anyway, CITPM or PMP should I go for?
One is targeting more on IT projects, and another is for general project management. The founder(s) of these 2 program is/are amazing as they understood that managing IT projects are different from managing a business project, however it leads to a confusion for people like me to ponder, "Hmmm... which one should I go for?"
But one thing I am quite certain about, at least for now, I know where I would like to head to... and I shall work towards that.

30th Feb

Exhibition Name: 30th Feb
Date: 29 Feb - 15 Mar
Venue: Duxton Hill 16- 17, Kay Ngee Ann Architects Gallery
Photographer Chow Chee Yong, renowned for his juxtaposed black -and-white photographs, launched his first photographic book called "30th Feb". One may ponder, why "30th Feb" when this date doesn't even exist?
That's the point.
Just like the photos displayed in this gallery, it depicts the imaginary part of this photographer, by doing the oxymoron in the photographs yet conveying the message he has in mind. It's all about imagination...
You can find more about his arts in this link:
Last day of the gallery, 15 Mar 08, and here i am to show him support and explore the imagination that the photographers had to convey... *Cant take photographs inside, as we need to respect the photographer!*
Here's a shot outside, this place is hard to find!
=Shadow Play=
Amoy Street? Club Street?
Lost???
Some remoted back alley that seems to be like a mini park; in fact there are several alleys here, and the not-so-adventurous-me feel as though I have went for some education tour. I even found one of the nice place to stroll where we were lost, while finding our way to Duxton Hill. It's at the back of those shophouses, but there are several benches along the way; Sun was beaming above us, while pigeons were crowding the area at a corner. Guess wat? I've found one of the location where one of the TV series (Switched) used to shoot at, the scene when Jeanette Aw was rehearsing with Terence Cao.
=View from the Ang Siang Hill=
Awww.... so nice!

Pondering over that choice...
Mood: Moody / A little low
Topic: Career of MY choice?
I was asking myself ever since I have started this new job.
Is it something that I want? I really want?
I do drag my feet to work intially, now I don't really do so as I am sorta used to the working hours and having to wake up early;I have been thinking of weekends to come badly. I never have this kind of feeling until now. What is it like to be a PA? Though in this place, PA is not entirely PA but more of coordination work with the entire team. Colleagues are bad in temper, and some shirk responsibilities where I can even spot it ssoooo obviously. Sometimes I just cant shut my eyes totally when seeing this kind of stoopid behaviours, it's just so not me to be quiet on this matter at times.
Some of my friends condemn me for giving up my previous job that most of us at this age, looks forward to undergo, yet I just let it slipped past my fingers. Previous job has a turning point during the re-organisation, I was given the role of a Project Manager (though it's mainly on paper work and dealing with some small project, but at least it's something for an amatuer to start with, and there are plans to get a PMP Cert) and I love having the staff sales, it's just great and I have time for myself. I can have coffee at Spinelli or even brew some coffee while sitting at the pantry. Working late there is also quite a worthwhile, since I live nearby too and lead a healthy life by having enough sleep.
In this new place, I can't knock off on dot due to heavy workload, but neither am I willing to stay late. Outside view is good, but I hope the voice in me is as clear as the view outside. I am pondering, contemplating, thinking and wondering.... how long will I be here? How much will I learn? What can I develop from here? What is the prospect? How will the prospective boss see this skillset?
If i want to leave this place, What am I losing? Will I be happier - perhaps and I hope I will be. I am very sure if I leave this place within this period, i can forget about coming back to the banking industry as there will be no more of such opportunities. Probably I have thought the wrong way - About opportunities, because of this reason, I decided to job hopped. I have a thought that perhaps I will not be working in the banking industry in future, as it may not be for me (AT ALL). I find those numbers quite intimitating at times. Perhaps I can be quite sure that I don't want to take a Masters in Banking/Finance, and no more working in a bank after this.
Is it a mere thought cos' I am still not very used to it? Or I really hate this job? Or the environment?
Though i earn more $$ here, I traded that with Time. I seem to be feeling less happier, that's what I find, perhaps at the moment. I don't know really. Probably I need someone/anyone to identify that out for me? As long as I find myself losing myself, or someone reminded that I am not what I used to be, I know this is not for me anymore. That would then make me more decisive...
Sigh...

Greek Masterpiece, 8 March 08

Purpose: To visit the Greek Masterpiece
Ticket price:
$8 (Man);
Free (Woman), In celebration of International Women's Day
Some sculptures loaned from Louvre Museum, exhibiting in NMS.


What reminds you when you see all these? David from Michaelangelo's skillful handicraft? Zeus? Aphrodite? Greek? Roman?? They remind me of women, love, war, warrior, apostles and baroque period... Every artpiece depicts the feeling of the artist at that period of time, the message that they are trying to convey, and the lifestyle that you can imagine that they went through, especially if you look at those paintings on the pottery, it's unbelievable!
View from top ( My imaginary balcony)

"With rustling leaves, and gentle breeze, blow soft kisses on my cheeks, telling me how fortunate to have been here... How relax life should be... How wonderful with you around"
-- Elena (Inspiration from Curtis Mayfield PS I love you)

"Love who is most beautiful among the immortal gods The melter of limbs, overwelms in their hearts the intelligence and wise counsels of all gods and all men"
(Blame it on my poor eyesight, I cant see the name!Geez.. If you do see it, let me know)
Sentosa /Botanic Garden
Venue: Sentosa (Morning) / Botanic Garden (Evening)
Went to Sentosa and Botanic Garden for some relaxation, this is the first time I find my weekend is really enjoyable ever since I have started working in the new environment. Work sucks but weekend compensated it.. I need more weekends!!! Hope my boss doesn't read my blog.. geez
Sentosa with Gertrude:
Outside of the Oscar Shop
Locking our belongings away before we go for ride
A shot before we took the ride up the HILL, gertrude was extremely worried about the heights, while i was overly excited! haha..
See how worried she looked, Open your eyes gertrude! You're missing it~
Look how big my petite foot instantly looks, I seem to be flying on top of the road, and I am on top of the world! I am small, but I can be as great!
"Slow down, Speeding Kills"
Get ready our helmet to be F1 Driver, The unskillful one of cos!
The Luge
Off to tanning at the Siloso Beach

Venue 2: Botanic Garden with Engwei
We visited the Swan Lake to the Eco-Garden. It was really a place for reflection and having a peace of mind
Gateway to the nature of beauty, unveil at your own pace
Here you can feed turtles, roll over the grass, have a picnic, lie on the grass and gaze at the sky, chat all day while looking at the swan, enjoy every view that is in front of you, countdown to sun set, listen to your breathing, and see those kids running around, letting out their most innocent laughter. In here you can just be yourself...just like a child in anyone's eyes.
The swan Lake
Sitting down one of the benches, looking over the green pond, reminds me of how beautiful it is just to sit down, and rest, and see what I have missed all these while... If you have got time, take my advice, go there and reflect what you really need and what you really have missed out...
Orchids...
Cactus...
Rose among the green.. keke
I like this pic the best! If you didnt take this shot in front of the pavilion, it means you didnt come to Botanic Garden. It's the landmark of this place.. haha. Nice shot, Engwei~
Model plays a part to the pic too.. keke...=P ok ok I know I know, you must be giving me the look, "There you go again" haha -- Cheekily Me!

The Leap Years
The Leap Years
Review: 4/5
Recommendation: Must watch if you like beautiful literals
I think Catherine Lim chose the right words and the right feelings to the storyline (wink!) Music from the movie "Merry Xmas, Mr Lawrence" suits the promotional clip very well too.
"A saint once decreed that a man must agree to a woman's proposal today, give me a sign whether to meet me at 8, at the same time you sit, and fulfil the tradition of February 29." - Li Ann wrote to Jeremy
"It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all" - Li Ann
"It is not in the stars that hold our destiny but in ourselves" - William Shakespeare
"Coincidence is god's way of remaining anonymous" - Albert Einstein
"A person often meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it" - Jean de la Fountaine
"If you are not too long, I will wait for you all my life" - Oscar Wilde
"In three words, I can sum up everything in my life, it goes on" - Robert Frost
