All Aboard on the London Bus

Last Sunday, we had the privilege of going up the actual London public bus..even without leaving Singapore. I'm so happy! I've always had a dream of going to London one day and I know I will. Not sure when although I most certainly want to go to Australia after my studies. It will be like a dream come true to me to go on an airplane and fly there. 

I rushed home from gym and then got ready in a jiffy to go to the Garden by the Bay. I don't know why..up to last Sunday, I've been rushing back home from gym and then go out and head somewhere else. But it was an experience that was worth it. We were literally bus-crazy! And I think the Londoners who had gone up such buses throughout their life, would be saying to us, 'but it's just a bus...pfft', haha.

The bus seemed pretty small in the interior and I don't think many Londoners take public bus? Not sure. But I know our buses seemed bigger and we're already complaining about it ;p Oh well, what else are we good at. I would say it's small but cozy like a typical small coach bus in Singapore except that it has two stairways, one infront and one behind. People were often taking pictures from the second stairway because it's something unique about the bus as well. 

I thought there would be a snaking queue but there wasn't and many of those who were on the bus were young bus enthusiasts who were busy pressing this and that and talking technical stuffs only they know among themselves. They're like this groupie and they took photos of every corner of the bus, I assume.

Us? We were busy taking selfies. Check out our pics below! (do click for bigger pictures)

My brother was the most excited about this trip because he's a bus fan

After the photo taking and excitement, time to rest and enjoy the cool breeze

Thankfully it was free. Let's hope by going up this London bus, I'll eventually get to experience being in London itself one day :) I promise to think abundance and continue to save for a better future and to get to experience a world beyond our Singapore shores.

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...
