You

"You are an amazing person, and I don't know where the feelings that you give me came from. What I do know is that I am completely and utterly into you and I want time to freeze so I can be with you all the time and not have to think of anything else at all. I like literally everything about you, including the way your face shows everything you're thinking and especially the way it looks when we are together and your hair is back and your eyes are closed and your lips are open just a little bit."

- Something Borrowed, Emily Giffin

Everyday the work I do involves complicated words that's why I love to balance my thoughts by reading feel-good books. The book of the moment is Something Borrowed. I watched the movie first before I read the book, much as I am into 'chick lits', I'm also a sucker for 'chick flicks'. And yes, I am enjoying it so far. Surprisingly because I did not quite like the movie.


Shoot me, I'm a girl.

TRAVEL: Haji Lane

I love Singapore. I'm pretty sure it's very obvious by now. I love how it is very clean, organized, accessible, tropical, modern, nature-friendly, cosmopolitan, conservative and vibrant. I could go on and on ... 

I've been to 'touristy' places in Singapore so it's part of my resolution this year to discover more of this lovely state. First up - Haji Lane.

The first time I've been in the area was September 2011 when I met with my friend Pam (a.k.a. Polish Police). They were on a media tour and she dragged me along. It was around noon on a weekend and we were hoping to go around but since we were too early, all shops were still closed. I've been hearing a lot about it so I vowed to go back there and explore. 

I did go back a few times because my new found friends from the Filipino Dragons (Singapore-based dragon boat team) often hang out and have a few drinks (or more) around the area. Well, it was too dark to see the graffiti so I can't fully appreciate it.

Fast forward to one sunny weekend in March after a bah kut teh brunch with my two awesome bosses/friends, we decided to go look for dessert. Their trusty Google Maps led us a quaint ice cream parlor along Haji Lane. 

Gi: I think it's somewhere there... (unsure)

While they searched for dessert, I started snapping away...

Cold feet

It's the day you never wanted to come but cannot wait to be over with.


But this decision, I have to make. I'm never one to run away from problems. In fact, I love resolutions. So, there is no other way but to do what needs to be done. It's time to put myself before anything else. Time to claim what is rightfully mine or at least what I deserve.


That's what life is about, how it usually is - never-ending decisions. That's what one will always have - CHOICE.
