Yes! That’s what we did last weekend. It’s like that when I can’t travel on boat nor plane during this period. So we imagined we were in Hong Kong and went around shop, eat, shop, eat around Marina and Suntec! It was actually quite fun and we did buy lots of stuff can? Imagine 3 days of shopping!

I’m 50% recharged from this and already started working on my dying MBP in bed the moment I got home. Very unhealthy for me, but its like that lah. I’m a hazardous worker.

More on the getaway when I’ve time to get the photos out from my Canon S95. Do have some not so good review about the hotel we stayed at. :(

In short:

1. I loveeeee swimming in mineral pool! I want one in our house can?
2. Lion King rocks!!
3. PC Show at Suntec was crazy as usual! Better human traffic control though. Good job!
4. Didn’t get to eat buffet at Melt nor AquaMarine cos I can’t eat as much as I used to.
5. I want to do more of these short getaway, even if its in Singapore!

Been riding quite a roller-coaster lately.

With changes happening in life and tough challenges at work. One keeping me high up straight in the air while the other keeping me inverted ready to fall. Challenges once overcame will make us all stronger and better person. I believe we will survive!

Life’s changing and there are much to prepare mentally. How we set the foundation is essential and very very important. Foundation if not done well, consequences can be devastating. We’ve seen the good and the worst. We know we just have to do it right and all will be well.

That’s what I told myself three years back when I decided to stop thinking about being my own boss and just get it going! There never was a dull moment during this journey and I cannot see myself working for others in the near future. Its like eating your favorite chips, once you start munching, you just don’t want to stop.

I’m sure, everyone at some point in life will have thought of starting on its own before. Ideas are limitless and if only resources are so too. When one starts to ponder further into the business idea, the risk, the amount of time needed, the rental, the seed money to get it going and all other elements fill your mind, and one ends up continue living life as it is. Business idea left on the shelf and never touched.

Remember when you were younger, when your parents buy new clothes, new shoes, new undies and new bags for Chinese New Year (CNY)? Seeing them all around you but can’t wear nor use them can be rather torturous right?

I felt that way too! And I still am trying to keep to the tradition. Though some items just can’t be left untouched for too long. Like my new Kate Spade bag I bought for CNY, I already used it once! Blame myself for having it delivered to me so early!

To lessen the agony of seeing all these new things at home but not using it, I delay my CNY shopping or I buy but don’t wash it so that I can’t wear it! Ha! Smart right?

Do you still wear everything new during CNY? Or have you grown out of it and just treat it like any other day?

This year is my last year in the collection line during CNY. Of course I would like to milk as much as I can! Wahahahaha! Next year I’ll be joining the giving out line, and hopefully we’ll have a small us in the collection line by then too. :P

So which line are you at now? Jumping line anytime soon?

This roll of film had been in the Holga camera since CNY2010! The first image in the roll proved this!

Have no idea what we (cousins) were doing with the camera, but this is quite an interesting shot (of many shots).

The other shots in the roll…

I might ditch digital and go film for good! That’s in my next life perhaps! But I’m so in love with the anticipation of waiting for rolls of films to be developed after year of shoot. I’m slow and lazy like that. 4 rolls of film I took a year to complete. Zzzzz…

My recent purchased of the Gakkenflex got the handy-claudia happy.

Assembled the twin flex camera on my own, and my first roll of film was… hideous! 36 shots turned 19 shots with 1 wasted shot between 2. You see, I wind the film too much lah!

Few shots of the Old Supreme Court and City Hall before they started the major overhaul for the new TNAGS. Shot on film with Ultra Wide & Slim toy camera. Simple and fun camera! Idiot proof! I love this camera!
