Asia Conference – Dr Kim

Leave a reply

Went for Asia Conference this week! It was Phenomenon!

My biggest take back was to watch Dr Kim play the piano for us~

She’s the wife of Dr David Yonggi Cho, Leader of the largest church in Asia

I always enjoyed music. But this time was interesting.
I was totally enchanted by her ability to left hand dance on the low keys,

While the Right hand dance on the high notes
O_O

Now I know what it means by being a professional pianist

I am so bless!

Wish you were there…

I used to visit the “Marsiling Jetty” with my dad when I was young, my dad would drive us there for a breather after a long day out.
Why Marsiling? Cos its very near my home area, aka Marsiling area. The whole stretch is like a jetty. 🙂

Before it became Woodlands Waterfront, It was just a stretch of walking path that overlooks the sea to Malaysia.

Occasionally, we’ll hear the train passing by or the loud *HONKS* by the lorries and trucks that are jammed in the long queue of cars. 🙂

At times, I would go there with my friends, take-away Old Chang Kee and talk the day away, or when I’m done with a relationship, just needed a breather to sort thoughts out, I would take a long stroll there.

Today, National Parks present to you Woodlands Waterfront…

I went by the other day to check it out.
Sure is buzzing with activities~!

Stadium Station

Leave a reply

Pass by Stadium Station yesterday, got off the train and took some photos.

While im on the train level, the sight is gorgeous!

Like so pretty right!!!!

Then I went up…

O_O Is there an end to the steps???

apparently yes and it looked like that:

Imagine if someone were to accidentally push u while u are at the top of the steps… like… from here…

Ms Ng never had a problem with heights, or standing on my stiletto…
But this time, while on the escalator, I was freaked…
Like oki… HANG ON to the escalator handles…

and while I’m facing the staircase from the top…
I was like, OKi… time to walk away…….

My goodness…
Scare the socks out of me….

Luckily there is the lift…

and hey, nice view from here

But cant blame la huh, considering the crowd that is expected from the surrounding places….

As usual, theres always room for improvement~

🙂 Go check it out, I’m gonna go Bras Basah station next time~

Was going into the lift while on my way to school when I saw this.

O_O

But hey, it was such a photography opportunity to me that I took the lift twice. 😀

I like this the most:

Probably is because of the lights thats coming in? 🙂 Its a very different feel.

The first photo itself, I wanted to use it as a twitpic (photo circulated in twitter = twitpic) but it caught me for a while. The feeling of it (the original shot) already feels very Lomo. Should I tweak it into Lomo or should I tweet the real one?

Which one looks better?

Think I never did mention about thoughts behind this photo before, St Paul’s Fort at Malacca, went there way back in December. Let me share with you here.

Have you seen the show “You’ve Got Mail”?
That scene where Tom Hanks was stuck in the lift and it just struck him who he wants to be with for the rest of his life? 🙂

Was composing this photo when I saw a guy walking down, that was a moment when I know exactly who I want that guy to be.

It didnt happen in the end. 🙂

I did something about it. Though it didnt happen in the end, we’re still friends. 🙂

I always tell myself, dont live your life to regret it.
Hadnt regret much thus far. 🙂

Tasted some different stuff at Kichn the other time,

Portobello Mushroom.
My friends thought they were potatos at first glance. 😀

I like their prawn fritters. Its not like those skinny skinny shrimp, they are very solid and fresh. The prawn itself is not like crunchy bcos of being soaked in salt water.
I feel its true tangible solid prawn meat. *sLuRp!
Sad to say its the most exp of the 3 sides though. 🙂
