"Living Each Single Day"

The i Light Singapore 2019 is an annual event not to be missed and tonight will be the last one so please spare some time tonight to at least see some of the interesting outdoor exhibits. The sustainable light art festival has various installations and programmes lined up for both the local and foreign visitors. Besides being instagram-my, many are also interactive or inclusive of audience participation. There were some that were boxed up to lure people in especially knowing there are people who generally love to queue but not knowing what's ahead, haha..and there was one that was purposely designed as a polaroid frame with a walk in platform for people to take couple or group pics. But upon close up, the whole frame was actually made up of clips that are often used to hang pics. Interesting, right? Sustainable and yet looks complicated and even manages to draw in the audience. One of the installations outside the Marina Bay area had the participants draw on the wall with lighted...

This is a free festival by the National Gallery Singapore around the City Hall area which you should go. I went for both events which was the Singapore Art Week and the SG Bicentennial of which the latter is currently on-going. Honestly, the Art Week one was more happening but I think some of the exhibits along the pavement are still around and they're totally instagram worthy. For now if you go, you will get to see projections on the facades of the National Gallery in the theme of SG Bicentennial.  I think the highlight was the one Kumar, a local and famous comedian and cross dresser, did his 45 minute stand up comedy routine and there were so many laugh out loud moments literally every few seconds, haha. He was that good. All this mostly based on his interactions and observations in Singapore. Of course he poked fun at the different nationalities besides just Singaporeans and earlier at one point, I felt I was also targeted for being that 38 year single woman, haha. No, i...

I know this is a weird way of starting this post but sometimes, I feel like I am delusional. Honestly, January was already rough in terms of money but it wasn't all bad because I got some financial help too. And it was also a crazy month as our office had to move and there were numerous times we had to pack things and we were talking years and years of cluttered things. But in the end, we managed to do so and even after moving in to the new office, we had to do the reverse which was unpacking. Luckily, we all managed to work together fast enough to store all the things. Yet it was still pretty cray cray because I had to go up and down the two levels to hand carry many things as well.  Now I didn't get delusional over this. I felt I was delusional because part of the move included moving our IT equipments such as the laptops, computers and printers. So the IT guy aka Mr Work Gym guy was part of the group that helped to dismantle and the assemble at our new workstations. I don...

So there was this viral thing going on where people were posting the 10 year challenge where they would show pics of them ten years ago and now. I don't know how it started but it seemed interesting. Don't have to do any of those acrobatic or dangerous moves like the moving car dance thing. That was stupid. Anyway, in a blink of an eye, 10 years would have passed and the greatest shocker would be when we thought we looked the same as we did back then but reality is, we don't, haha. Sure some people may be luckier as in they look even better than they were 10 years ago. Age can be kind to many but can be cruel too, haha. Like my thinning hair. I've always had a love-hate relationship with my hair because it is constantly all over the place and messy. When I kept my hair longer most times, it would look voluminous but messy. Yet now, it is a different story. Looked flat and shapeless. So I figured that maybe it's better being kept shorter so less obvious that my ...

So about three weeks have passed since we did the countdown for the New Year. And how has things been going? Well, I should say that there was some joy, new discoveries, sickness and there were tears shed as well. It's quite a roller coaster ride of emotions but nevertheless, it's the life experiences that shape us. For me, I have this annoying sore eye thing going on and off since last week. And now it's back on. There's a little sore underneath the eye lid that is causing the irritation and even though it's a little uncomfortable and teary at times, my vision isn't that affected. Other than that, I am also trying to be a little cautious on spending though based on past experiences, this may be quite a futile effort. But I don't know, perhaps things will be slightly different this year? Since I am no longer the sole breadwinner of my family. My brother is now working full time but he is not paying the bills yet. I am. So maybe, I am technically still a br...

Happy New Year, everyone! A new year means having the whole year again to face life's challenges, victories, learning new things, letting go and many other things in between. My 2018 was the same, nothing out of the ordinary. However, the people around me, especially those that were close to me, they experienced many happy or joyous occasions and I was thrilled that they let me join in with the celebrations. For example, a good friend's wedding, my brother's coming out of the army parade,  a friend's son's first birthday and an open house held by a ex colleague from my workplace from more than 10 years ago. On a personal note, I didn't manage to achieve what I wanted in life and basically all I tried to do was trying to survive each and every day from life's challenges. Financial difficulties, dealing with a manager who micro manages everything and don't trust my work and a mum who also micro manages my life. My social life is still as awkward as ev...

Merry Christmas! I had to start off this blog post with the cute Santa log cake from Coffee Bean even though we actually ate them the night before, haha.  Anyway, for a few years now, we have been going to the Christmas Wonderland held at the Gardens by the Bay. The event just got bigger and bigger and we remembered the first time they had such an event, it was pretty low key and also free. But now they have added stalls and turned Gardens by the Bay like a mini Christmas Village. And yes, this time we had to pay like how we did for the couple of years I think.  Click here for more details and the ticket pricing for the Christmas Wonderland. It's on until December 26th so if you read this post today, or even tomorrow, there is still time. The highlight was of course the dancing 'trees' where the Supertrees would display dancing lights to the rhythm of popular Christmas songs. Last two years, they had been playing Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas is...
