No particular Reasons

I just like this picture a lot.

I was in front of the very old Train Station in Bleinheim, New Zealand. it was the winter of 2006. Travelling with my Brother down south.

Every little things

I plugged in my earphone this morning while I was steppin out the door. it was usually bright at that hour already, but it was raining abit this morning. I was havin the Monday Blues. As I gently click the play button on my Ipod, the very song that I felt like listening came on. I smiled and was off for the day. feeling lucky.

After work, though a long day, me and a collegue, invited, of all the people, the Managing Director out for dinner. We didnt go to some fancy restaurant with dimmed lights. believe it or not, it was a Hawker centre. moreover, a lousy one but with good local food. of course, it was implied that the best part of having dinner with your MD was that... its free, right? we "talked cock" over dinner (a very Singaporean way of saying "chatted"). so that was fun.

Got home, saw AK's postcard from Auckland lying all flat on the table! (but the written date was 25 June 2007, AK, did you got lazy on sending the postcard out again... grin...) hehe...

for those of you who know me enough would know I have a (good? bad?) habbit of appreciating everything little things in life.weird. well, these were the little drops of contentment in my all-in-a-day's life.

enjoy!

Gathering!

the 97ers!

Good Byes

Good bye only mean something when until one day you meet again, some 2 years later, for 2 hours, followed by yet another good bye.

what long would this Good Bye last?

Exciting

But I wasnt there... was walking pass it on a cloudy Sunday afternoon after swimming.


hm....

Mom's visit to Singapore

Mom's home cook soup. THE best.

They were tryin to act cute. haha...

"Fly"

I want to grab my back pack now, fill the 60 litres of space with some clothings and jacket, grab a ticket to Berlin, rent a discounted car, and drive down from Frankfurt, to Munich, then to Rome. Along the few weeks drive, I shall meet someone, we shall share the ride, have fun inter cultural talks, appreciate the scenery, enjoy some true tuscan food, laugh at the Italy-english accent, then we shall say good bye at some point.

I shall stay in a budget backpackers by the hill some where in Italy, share cheers with em' other backpackers while having our self-made dinner, sitting out in the yard, enjoying the sun set. we will share a bottle of nice Chianti wine.

I shall drive off again the next day, after taking some mental photos of those I shared the night with, to the next european country... which I will only then decide. and then the next... and the next...

Silent ..

and it makes you wonder, what would life be without dreams?

I drifted, knowingly, in between concretes, into manipulated temperatures, into days when there are no sun lights. The momentum has set. and I follow through as if I am in vacuum.

and then, the impact. Reminding me of my purpose in life.

Silent

what do you say to people in such pain?

you shut your mouth, and you listen. I guess.

Titled "Sexy Ah Pek"

Made in Heaven

The market went against me... work was tiring... personal life was frustrating...

came home and saw this: a card Made in Heaven (by hand).

it Made My Day.

Thank you. =) how have you been?

Silent Scream

AAAAAAAAAAaaaarggggggg...

Life in Singapore?

Spend my last 20 minutes reading some of the post I wrote over the course of pass 1 year, and it strucked me on how different my life has become. the life I'm living now is no where within my imagination 6 months ago. Isaac the chef stayed in Wellington when Isaac the corporate officer came back. it use to be all about jazz, books, coffee, walks under the sun, beach and music... now its about sky scrapper, stocks, regulations, underground transit, stable income and news.

what a difference a day make huh?

But trust me when I say this, I really miss the life I had before, and my dream is still full on. However, life took a different course and suddenly I'm here, in Singapore, where people spend most of their time in air conditioned area, either under ground, or in between tall concretes.

I'm saving enough for a guitar as at now. Hoping it will fill my world with a lot more colour than the mere colour of dullness.



drop me a message and say hi! it'd be great!

Routine

The big R-word towering over my life. least I go swimming on a weekly basis now, and its one routine I look forward to the most. well... of course and the monthly routine of adrenaline pump, when my bank account increases by a certain amount.

Balancing life.

I saw Phantom himself!

The Phatom of The Opera :-

its been a dream to see the musical live since I was a kid,

well, the dream came through!!

Nice Weekend

went to a friend's wedding, had soooo much fun at the wedding!

When around the beach of Kuantan, its been a while since I last stepped into the sea

Road trip from Kuantan back to KL with a couple of nice ladies!

... and yummy local food.

good times (just what I needed !!) haha...

I see yellow p..eop..le...

Dan and Tom's 4 hours in Singapore:

2 caucasians, an asian, and a stupid hat

we were saying something like "Virg...i........a........"

"Argrgrgrgrg...."

good times.

More of little Kyler!

"phem..."

"What ya lookin' at huh?"

"wait the minute... its..."

"You scared the hell out of me man!!!"

Pleasant Surprise

Got an Email from Daniel a.k.a fart face, who was somewhere around Europe a few days ago, saying that he will be in transiting in Singapore for a couple of hours, before the flight back to New Zealand on Friday.

And so, I took a half day off work on Friday just so I can have a few rounds of lager & stout with my long lost friend, catch up. Though, long lost here equals a period of only 6 months. I have to admit I did struggled a bit while justifying my motive to take half day off work. you know..."have beers with friends and not work?! how are you gonna tell that to your boss?!"... I'd even have to pay my company 50 bucks back coz they've already banked in my pay cheque for the month. which sucks.

In the end, I wrote on the leave form no more than "urgent personal matters". and took off.

It was a tight 4 hours tour around the city, then dinner, then some drinks. Tom (Dan's mate) said the air in Singapore's so humid, he can feel the tiny water particles moving his leg hair. More exaggerating, he said he felt like he was swimming.

had a big rush in the end to the airport. They were suppose to board at 5 to 9, we were still Hi in some down town pub at 12 pass 8. it was a good 40 minutes transit to the airport from where we were. You get the idea.

Good times.

... "Your mind, to my mind, my mind, to your mind... your mind, to my ASS!!!"...
