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.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life. While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment. ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life. He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha. We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
