Celebrating My Birthday in 2013 - Part Two (Sky Park)

Eek, long overdue post but no matter what, still have to post considering how many pictures we took. You know there are people who are pretty stingy about certain things but are generous enough to spend money on other things like let's say, they don't splurge on expensive handbags and would rather use it to go travelling and see the world.

It's about selective spending on what you truly love and in this case, would like to experience. This is me trying to convince I just paid $20.00 for access to the top of the Marina Bay Sand Hotel at one end only..haha. There's no infinity pool view because you either have to be staying as hotel guests. But once you're up there, you will know that you're $20.00 is pretty much justified because the view was fascinating as you could see various parts of Marina Bay and even beyond in all its beautiful glory.

The transition from day to night was amazing when the city lights came on and the view became breathtaking as you took in the quiet sight of the beautiful night sky. Gosh, I'm talking in poetry now..haha. They do have certain regulations though when you are up there like no sitting on the deck but then again, rows of people were sitting along the aisle. I mean you can't always be standing there. Having a picnic is a no no, of course.

So enjoy the pictures! I truly enjoyed my birthday experience. Though this year's birthday didn't translate to many gifts, which probably attribute to me getting older..haha, I still enjoy the moments spend with the colleagues, friends and family.

Next up, my post will include the birthday celebration with my two good friends. One of them was so thoughtful. She organized a karaoke session because she knew how much I LOVE KARAOKE, as if that wasn't emphasized enough.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
