Daily Dosage of 231007 | Studying @ Starbucks; daddy’s BACK.

October 23, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 2 Comments →

I’m currently at MacDonalds, tapping on their facilities to do some blogging. It’s rather cool that the whole Singapore is getting wired up, it makes things so convenient anywhere, everywhere.

Taking a break from the long haul of physics revision, allow me to once again bore you with my daily updates.

How interesting could a day begin and end during the exam period. Time spent could be nothing more than studying and more studying.

Starbucks@Novena proved to be quite a good place for mug hards, with the rather quiet atmosphere, and the aroma of the coffee, giving some perks to the monotonous studying.

They had decent tables and chairs, with power plug for my notebook. Couldn’t ask for anything more than that.

I was bored after awhile. Spot the difference

Yes, my drink from a piping hot one turned icy cold at the end. This shows that I’ve been sipping real slow, because that’s my passport for the day.

The coffee had managed to keep me awake, till now.

-

On another note, i realised that these burn outs are making me unhealthy. My body symptoms shows it all. My sensitive scalp has started to peel once again, this only happens when i lead some irregular lifestyles. Like staying up late, and inconsistent food intake.

This studying period has decreased my workout time greatly. Its been a long time since i put on my running shoes. For that, it will take some time before i hit back my prime again after A’s.

After A’s, after A’s.. My mind’s all revolving around the events that’s going to happen after it. Though i know it’s not the best time to think about it now. Sometimes, its good to let the mind run wild before capturing it back to concentration, unless you want to see a psychotic Daryl being drowned in notes and more notes.

Studying can really make someone grow fat. Its just eating and sitting and eating and sitt… Those brain and arm movements aren’t going to burn that much of calories from your body. One way i’ve tried was to eat little but take small bites, SMALL bites in between break time. Eating too full will result one to become more lethargic, having no mood to continue studying and meet the zee monster. Coffee is too a good companion, especially if you are caffeine addictive.

-

My dad’s like finally back from India once again. 3 months flown by just in a tick. Well, i can’t be sure if his presence will add to more pressure to me, having to do well for A’s, but one thing for sure would be that the house would be more lively with one more person. Got to treasure the time left with the family before entering NS, though i know it’s pathetically little. With me always out, my sister having her O Levels now and my brother and mum busy with their own stuffs, its quite difficult to get everyone together.

The atmosphere of a whole family gathering together is something that is not attainable with other group of people, no matter how close you are with them. That’s the power of kinship, the blood and bonds that run in us.

On a happier note, my dad brought back more merchandise from Adidas, Nike..

I guess that’s about all for today, back to more burnouts with the books and notes.

Till then,

all the best for the O’Level kids meanwhile, before it’s our turn to shine!

Please leave comment if interested.

My body’s biological clock is getting more and more dysfunctional, been studying late, burning the night away. That explains why i am here blogging at 3AM in the morning.

Its not that the morning is not a good time for studying, its just that the temptations and the distraction level is just too great. Take for example today, nope, yesterday morning.

I was doing my maths, then i noticed that the decibels under my block slowly increasing.. For those who saw my MSN Personal Message, that was what i meant by the negative externality under my block.

There were grass cutters cutting grass. Its not just one of them, there were at least 2 or more of them. Its not that they are doing harm to the society, in fact they are beautifying our neighborhoods, but i can’t just ignore the fact that its really noisy and irritating, especially when one is concentrating, doing maths.

Being so disturbed by them, i just went to my window right beside me and look down at them. I couldn’t resist it but took a few shots of them. Somehow they look like they are surveilling the neighborhood, with that thing on their hands as ammunition. On a different view/angle, somehow they resemble terrorists as well.

Pardon the pixelated pictures, i took them with my N73 zoomed all the way from the 6th storey I’m living in.

 

Alright, i shan’t be so bad to ill speak them in such a way. In anyway, we should be grateful that they are doing something to contribute to the community, for the good of the people.

Alright, those interested in the DND tickets, leave a comment.

Till then,

Zee-ing

The 5 Pillars of Life.

October 15, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, writings No Comments →

Share something that i have recently heard from a master somewhere, to take you away from the boring daily dosages that i have been writing.

The 5 pillars of life.

These 5 pillars of life are indicators to make someone a better person. It is definitely very general, however it covers a great aspects of life. It is important that one lead life through these pointers to make him/her a better person. It is almost impossible to follow and perfect all of the indicators. If you can, then you would be saint already and not be here reading, trying to be one.

The 5 pillars. Not in any order of importance and priority.

  1. Be a good son/daughter of your parents.
  2. Be a good student of your teachers.
  3. Be a good follower of your religion.
  4. Be a good citizen of your country.
  5. Be a good friend of your friends.

1) Parents are the people that bring us to life. Furthermore, their role does not just end there, they have taken the extra mile and bore the responsibility of nurturing us to useful people in life. Hence, in my own point of view filial piety should be the most important and it can come in many forms. It may not be just speech recognition or materialization of life. It might be the small nitty gritty things in life that actually shows the true heart and feelings.

2) Teachers are the bearer of knowledge, hence as important as knowledge is in life, the carrier of it should share the similar amount of significance. Though some teachers might be overbearing at times or not showing the correct attitude in teaching, but still we as students we got to acknowledge the fact that it is only through them that we are able to get wiser and more learned.

3) Religion is something which i believe can craft character out of a person. As long as the religion is orthodox and it does a greater good for the society. To strongly believe and be a good follower of the religion you are in, it will ensure that the path that one takes and actions one does it rightfully accounted for.

4) The country is like a nest for its people. By being a good citizen of your country, it is just the gratitude one can show for the country for accommodating us all these years. Being a good citizen can exists in many forms, which some include obeying the laws and being considerate to the people around us, and also not make oneself be a social hazard.

5) Friends are people around us that we can’t live without. They provide the support both physically and emotionally to one which others in the family cannot give. The companionship friends give in times of need, by lending a ear or shoulder is truly remarkable. You won’t really feel it until you desperately need it.

The above are just a rough guideline to follow to becoming a better person in life. I have to admit myself that i ain’t no saint myself, hence constant self reminders of these easy guidelines would be great in daily life, especially when making a difficult decision or in a dilemma.

If you have something which you think is too an important pointer in life. feel free to share by leaving your comments.

Thank You.

Daily Dosage of 1510107

October 15, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, photoblog 3 Comments →

Been out studying at MacDonalds today, with Jiahao, Chengsong and special appearance of  Amksian top Scholar Boon Yu Ru.

Just some photos to narrate things easily.

 

 

Something that you notice…?

There are no MacDonalds food on our table =) Why?.. Because we brought our own.

The more healthy Kettle’s Potato Chips that has no Trans Fats, with the slightly more unhealthy Lay’s Chip that is made with Sunflower Oil.

 

Dark Toblerone Chocolate, which is said to be more healthy that normal chocolate as it has more antioxidants in it and less sugar content with higher Cocoa mass.

 

Milo to keep us going..

 

And multi plugs, to give our mp3s and laptop the power to last FOREVER.

It’s not that we do not want to contribute to the economy by purchasing McDonald’s food, though it has proved to be quite a good place to study. It just that the food aren’t that pleasing. You can find out more from my McDoonald’s Post.

Alright.. These snacks above are not anywhere healthy. I’m merely deceiving myself.

Added new clothing to my already exploding wardrobe. Merchandise from Crocodile, since the discount that they are offering are huge. Yes, HUGE. More that 50% discount.

This one has a double layer with solid grey on the outside and green stripes on the inside.

This is the pink one my sis managed to convince me to buy. It was initially black with brown, decided to change the colour since I’m already dark enough and to add some interesting colours to the dull coloured wardrobe i already own.

The sales’s still on till Sunday, guys if you want to catch a good deal, its at the entrance of AMK Hub. Its so unresistable that CS bought 3 and JH bought 1 of them. Really a good bargain.

I’m currently desperate for someone to run with me, discpline for running have been really bad. Ran 6km plus today, mainly due to the overstretched thighs as i have been trying to doodle and play around with some taekwondo kicks.

Anyone?

Stay tuned for something different from Daily Dosage.. I know its boring, my life.

Till then,

Geog memorizing here i come!

Daily Dosage of 141007

October 14, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, happenings, photoblog 2 Comments →

I had forgotten about the farewell assembly that was held last Wednesday. The atmosphere of the whole event was alright. Not to the extremes of any sides. Though it was like kind of a GREAT emphasis to study and work our guts out for As’, but ain’t the the oblivion?

Picture that we took with Mr Kwek with courtesy of Dickson’s camera.

The introduction of my new gadget.

Yes, its a tablet PC, with a touch screen interface. Its the student model by HP. Got to use up my privilege of a student before time catches up with me in less than a month time.

I’m currently blogging with this new tool of mine. The feeling is of pure goodness.

Also, see the new header of my blog, its designed by Gordon. Many thanks to him despite his tight schedule at work, and too happy belated birthday to him!

The picture was a sketch using his arty farty tools, all i did was send him a photo which looks like this..

and he can miraculously change it to a wonderful header. Marvellous!

Thanks to the people who have been visiting this babe often, as you can see, there is starting to be ads of Nike showing under the Nuffnang advertising space. Does it means i will be receiving monies for blogging soon.I hope certaintly.

Please do visit soon, will squeeze time to blog in between studying times.

Till we meet again,

Kudos to all studying hard!

When we were still young.

October 10, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, photoblog, writings 11 Comments →

When we were still young, we could play all day without worrying about work.

When we were still young, we could make mistakes and be expected to be forgiven.

When we were still young, we want to grow up quickly.

When we were still young, nothing seemed to trouble us.

When we were still young, day passed by slowly.

When we were still young, we stayed in class after school everyday.

When we were still young, we envied the grown ups.

When we have grown up, we missed our past.

Daily Dosage of 091007

October 09, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 1 Comment →

I’m IMPRESSED, no sarcasm at all, from the bottom of my heart.

Firstly, Congratulations to WaiSze for reaching your 8km. I guess it takes much determination and willpower on your own part to choose to push on your run, overcoming your limits.

Gratitudes for the wonderful things you mentioned about on your blog. Glad that it has left a positive mark in your life.

Secondly, i’m impressed with myself for the level of influence i can impact on people. Can’t be sure if its for the better or worse.

Somehow, influences are like clapping your hand. You certainly need both hands to clap. No point one party drowning the other with his raves while not receiving acceptance from the other.

No doubt that people have their own rights to choose the way they carry out their actions and live their life. But the fact remains if the choice we make, are they really the right ones. If difficult to make a correct judgment on a first person point of view, especially when we are often clouded by what is around us.

So, the best is to seek advice from people who armed with experiences to look at the situation and work on their advice.

So now the problem sets in..

Who do you trust?

Yours Truly,

Daryl

Daily Dosage of 081007

October 08, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 1 Comment →

Commendable effort on today’s achievements on work. Completed 2 Physics Paper at McDonalds at Ave 4. I’m now eating the tau huey with courtesy of lester’s mum.

Saw this picture at the bus stop, which made me stop and think of what it is.

Saw the meaning behind the picture? Its a Fujitsu advertisement. They are trying to imply that their aircons are that powerful and cold that even the birds in the cage need such thick coverings to shelter themselves away from the cold.

Interesting ain’t it?

Thats the power of the ads. Good ads makes people think. Remembering the quote from Ms Ng.. Show don’t tell. Use that for essays, and good ads too.

Its 2 more days to Graduation Ceremony. Time flies, especially 2007. It’s interesting to think that one year back at this time, i’m gracing my promos, and now i am taking my A Levels in like 20 days time.

Time’s flowing away like a drift this year, it seemed like it was just yesterday i mugged for my A Maths paper, and in another few blink of an eye, I’m serving the Nation.

Treasure the moment.

Cheers!

Applicant Daryl Reporting IN!

October 05, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, happenings 6 Comments →

I wanted to blog about some stories today, but Kian Hwee sprunged me with a big surprise. He raved about receiving his enlistment letter, and he’s going in at end of Nov(he was lying).

I too was excited about it, i went down to open my mailbox… AND THERE IT IS, lying there quietly waiting for me..

 

The Enlistment Act letter from MINDEF. I opened it with great fear, fearing that the date is very very near.. Something out of the ordinary appeared, i was posted to the Police Academy.

Alright i admit, i’m kind of in a loss now. See those dates and numbers. Scary aren’t they? I’ve decided to post these to curb the curiosity of many, considering the fact that i am one of the few around that’s not posted to Tekong.

Somehow, i felt a little disappointed. I thought i was able to join in the life as a real NSmen. But now it seems like i might have to end up behind computers in police stations. Just Joking.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

But after hearing about stuffs like PA is more slack and the bunk is much better, with better prospects makes me feel a little better.

Anyone with ideas of what life there is all about? Please leave me a comment thanks.

For those who haven’t gotten their enlistment yet, give yourself a nice sleep tonight, you might just find it on your door the next morning.

Shucks, i think i can’t sleep tonight!

Daily Dosage of 041007

October 04, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 2 Comments →

Today’s Run: 17KM

Timing: 1hr 48mins

Venue: Bishan Park

I’m so proud of my new achievement. It was a great hike from my previous record of 14KM, and also considering the presence of the blisters from yesterday’s 11KM run at the track in school. It must have been the outrage of endorphin produced during the run that kept me going.

Generally, the first 14KM was rather alright, with a good pace of 10km/h. The last 3km was the most arduous  part of the journey, it was really a battle of determination. Devil Daryl was psyching me to stop and rest, while on the other hand Angel Daryl was pushing me on, not to give up.

Obviously Devil Daryl succumbed under the powerful Angel to make me push on that last 3KM. Actually, it was a pacer that made my last 2KM a great one. He was more or less about to overtake me already, when i pushed myself to pace up with him all the way to the finishing point.

While running at the park, its quite obvious that someone is trying to pace up with you or vice versa. There are only 2 outcomes out of it. One would be that he thins you are trying to compete, and do all means to outrun him. The other would be to pace. In order for the latter to happen, it would be best that a conversation is being strike.

Mere words of encouragements are more than enough, normally people don’t talk much during runs considering the already lack of breath. Surprisingly the last sentence he asked me was..

“So you running for the Standard Chartered Marathon?”

Obviously yes was my reply and there he went ahead with his run. For extensive runners, Stand Chart Marathon could probably be one of the greatest event of the year for them. It’s rather obvious that people (in the nice SC singlet) are getting intensive on their trainings recently, with the fact that its only 50plus days left for the event.

Alright, my entries are getting mundane and boring with run , run and more run. Shall share something that I’ve read next time. Time to get Angel Daryl to put me on work.

Till then,

Work!

The New Running Route- MacRitchie Reservoir

October 02, 2007 By: darylim Category: advertisments, daily dosage, writings 6 Comments →

Thanks to Glenn’s recommendations, i have a new spot for running; the MacRitchie Reservoir.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

All along, I’ve know that place to be a great place for Cross Country. But now, I’ve truly understand and experience the joy of running there. Its really a perfect place for running in my point of view.

After all the kind of places I’ve ran at; roads, treadmills, track, park, sand.. By comparison, MacRitchie is really awesome.

  • Firstly, the air is superb. High oxygen level with little pollution. Eases running and reduces chances of bad breathing. Unlike roads and parks that are near the road and with inconsiderate people smoking.
  • Secondly, the heat. As mentioned in the first point, the high level of oxygen makes the air cooler. With addition, the canopy of the tall trees makes heat difficult to penetrate through.
  • Thirdly, the terrain. There are many upslope and downslope route, which makes the run more challenging and interesting. Also, the land is gravel and some soil and stones. This gives the run an extra push as one has to concentrate in order not to fall.
  • Fourthly, the routes. There are many different kinds of paths and routes that one can take upon reaching there. There’s the HSBC Treetop Trail, the Jeultong Trail, and many more. The furthest one is the trail to Bukit Timah Hill, its 11KM. Thats my target for the week and the upcoming or so. With these different routes, running can never be interesting enough. There are also nice scenery and interesting creatures like squirrel and monkeys around for you to spot them!
  • Fifthly, the MIND. As mentioned by WaiSze, this is an important X-Factor that determines the journey. One doesn’t tend to give up easily while running there because of the yet to reach destination.

I managed to complete about 4KM in the trail, and the journey back home with Glenn today. It’s time for him to increase his training at Bishan Park before hitting back there again, all the best.

A word of caution, for those intending to run the trail. It is best that u leave the trail to the main road by 1845. If not it would be terribly dangerous as there are no lights in it and it will be pitch dark. Surely you wouldn’t want to get lost in it do you?

Run with a watch and keep track of the time especially if you are running in the late afternoons. Best is get a partner and not push one’s limits when its getting too dark.

So, anyone want to join in the trail?

Till we meet again,

Happy Belated Children’s Day (Gerald’s Birthday)

Daily Dosage of 290907

September 29, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 6 Comments →

Heaven’s playing spot on me, haven’t been running regularly for the past week due to the high surge in rainfall. Every time when i feel like running, the skies are always covered with dark clouds.

Yesterday, i managed to pull it off finally. However, when i was at the second round, it started to drizzle. I told myself to continue despite the drizzle, perhaps it’s a test by heaven to determine my level of endurance. It was quite interesting because the sun was still shining bright when it rained. Maybe a rainbow will form and i will find a pot of gold at the end of it.

Sad to say, the rain became heavier and heavier. I told myself to push on until there’s thunder and lightning. I finally stopped at the 11k.m. This marks my new record of 11km in 1hour. The main reason i stopped is because i don’t want to damage my 150bucks shoe further.

I was soaking wet already when i stopped, from head to toe. I tried to continue the run when the rain subsided, but i lost the momentum altogether, so I’ve decided to return home. I walked home barefooted, and some thoughts came into my mind while i was at it.

Thinking of when was the last time I’ve actually soaked myself in such rainfall and walking barefooted. What i enjoyed most was to walk onto puddles of water, which most normal people would avoid in their path. It’s quite an enjoyment though this way.

I tried to run again today, but my thighs are hurting terribly that i can’t pass the 2km mark, probably due to the inconsistency in running lately. I think its better for me to hit some Vitamins and ginseng Tea to boost my immunity system, lest falling sick due to the rain run. Maybe can try B-Complex as said by Mr. Kwek to increase my stamina.

Actually I’m quite glad that i am able to influence some people around me, for the greater cause that is. Regardless if its on eating habits or exercising, its nice to see people thrive to live a healthier life.

Its 63 days left to the 42.195km Marathon. Time intensify the trainings. From Monday onwards, i will revert back to my old lifestyle. Where running and studying takes up bulk of my time of the day, also not forgetting blogging, where i will treat it as a mean of leisure and expressing my thoughts.

Running companion anyone?

-

Had been shopping a little for new clothings for my wardrobe. More merchandise from Adidas to my already huge collection, also FBTs. Also clothes from GAP and Timberland. When my dad comes back, it will be more. Haha. Merchandise from adidas store from India. I shall wait for that.

Adidas singlet n FBT

 

-

I’ve finally packed my notes AGAIN, all set, ready to go for the last lap. Tomorrow shall be the last day for me to slack. Monday will be the day to get intensive again. I shall follow my study plan strictly.

Till then,

Enjoy Running..

Healthy Lifestyle

September 27, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 11 Comments →

One should never take good health for granted. Many a time, illness in old age are caused by the kind of life, eg diet, exercise, etc one goes through when they are young. Hence, in order not to jerpodise our future by putting all kinds of toxin in our body, we ought to have certain guidelines in the way we eat and do things.

 Remember, when we take care of our own body, its not something that you are doing just for yourself(though it’s something of much consideration), its also for our family, our friends. Just imagine the kind of stress and pressure you will act upon the people around you when you are critically ill or down with some disease.

Also, we owe our body to our parents. By not taking care of our body, we are doing them a unjust, disregarding their efforts in bringing us up.

In the recent months, i have fully experienced what it takes to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Some health tips to reconsider..(esp if you try to lose weight)

  •  Eat a balance diet

Though this might sound super cliche, but that is the fact. Follow the eating habits of the food pyramid and eat in moderation. Avoid junk food and snacking. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

  • Exercise Regularly

Another usual saying. Try to make out time for them, no matter how busy you are. Even if it means walking a few streets away from your block, its still counted.

  • Try to eat before 7PM

Research have shown that humans have lower metabolism rates in the night. Hence, we will be unable to burn the calories that we have taken. In the olden days, Chinese do not eat solid food during evening. Hence, resulting in fitter bodies and longer longevity despite poor healthcare.

  • Drink more water, avoid soft drinks and juices from concentrate.

Water was found to aid in increase metabolism, it also help flush out the toxic in our body. Soft drinks and juices from concentrate have high sugar content, which will result in high sugar level, or even diabeties in time to come.

  • No fast-food

If you have read my previous post about McDonalds, you will know what i mean.

 -

Though it might be difficult to change the habits one one person, one still has got to try, slowly step by step. For the success of good health and the benefit of people around us.

For more and better health tips and articles, visit www.kumito.com. Some website that is managed by Darcy and friends, where i got many of my health knowledge from.

Enjoy Reading =)

Yet another interesting day out.

September 25, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage 4 Comments →

 Had a break today to do some maintainance on my skin colour today. Nothing beats having a nice cool draft tanning on the tanning bed on the beach. Sentosa is indeed one of the best location in Singapore if you want to proceed on for a good tan. Now with my Islander Card, i’m going to make things even more worthwhile.

Discoveries made on cheaper alternatives. Siloso beach has the Coasters Sentosa, which has tanning beds for rental and seatings. Drinks are slightly more expensive, and i have to rent the tanning beds there.

However, at Palawan beach, there’s Club Islander, the drink’s cheaper and the tanning beds are FREE for all customers. Also, Palawan Beach is less crowded, might be a plus or minus point depending on individual. Islander gets a discount of 20% cut on all ala-carte menu.

The way to enjoy life it is, enjoying the breeze by the sea. Pure indulgence.

-

The other worth mentioning event of the day would be the steamboat gathering by the 4/2 clique group, which was also meant to be a surprise celebration for WaiSze’s birthday.

As usual, the crappy steamboat food, which i could proudly say that i didn’t feast much on it today. The most i had today got to be fluid. We went through the usual procedure of a gathering, which was to pool.

Then, the crux of event began. The the girls left WS alone in the toilet, to create the “lost and directionless” scenario, but it kind of failed though. Still, we managed to create the alphabet WZ with the candles qingyu brought.

I presented my half dozen doughnuts to her. Though its pretty out of shape, due to the fact that i try not to blow my cover, unlike Jin Hao. Its the thoughts that count i hope. I wasn’t smiling because i ain’t ready for the camera.  

More childish actions while we started to play with sparkles. We tried making words, some sucessful, but some failed.

Took the classic picture of me, waisze and qingyu. We have similar shots taken every year on our gatherings.

This time, the position of the two of them were swapped. Pardon the photo quality, the place was rather dark.

The people that made the day great and possible includes WaiSze, LiMain, YingYing, QingYu, JinHao, Zephan, YongKai and ME.

School’s starting soon. I guess i wouldn’t be updating that regularly. Do check up for more entries in time to come. Best of luck to all collecting results soon.

Till then…

Happy 18th Birthday, Miss Au Wai Sze. (a.k.a WZ in my own context)

Mid-autumn Festival.

September 23, 2007 By: darylim Category: daily dosage, events 1 Comment →

Finally I’ve managed to get my own domain for my usage purpose. Thanks to Joshua for reccomending this cheap and good host to me, and helping me get things set up. Now, i have my own email and space for backups. Though its still long before i can fully utilise this marvellous tool. There’s thousand and one things i can do with this.

 Back to the topic…

The mid autumn season is round the corner again. The relation of mid-autumn always produces a couple of pop-ups in our mind,

  • Mooncakes
  • Pomelo
  • Lantern and candles
  • Sparkles
  • Fire

It’s definitely a must to have all these to make the annual mid-autumn a complete one.

Mooncakes sure come in many shapes, sizes, flavours etc. It all part of the marketing strategy to attract customers to consume. Some even come with gold on top, which apparently is something that my family is unable to digest.

 My mum went to learn and successfully managed to produce some snowskin mooncakes. Most importantly, she put Macadenia Nuts, which gave the mooncake an extra crunch.

The reason why mooncakes have been piling up at my house is because everyone’s bringing them home. Contributors to the mooncakes include my aunt, me, my mum, my mum’s friend.

 The especially exquisite ones are those from breadtalk, though i haven’t tried the taste. they even had a theme for their mooncakes this year; which is something related to space and planets.

Other than mooncakes, there were more important things that we have to do; carry lanterns and play with fire.

 I remembered last year during mid-autumn, i spent time with my brothers at Bishan Park 1 till late midnight. It was a rather interesting experience, because none of us brought lantern.

  • John made his own version of “kong ming” lantern.
  • Lester was busying spraying deoderant at fires to make flame thrower.
  • ChengSong was busy burning ants.
  • The rest were just busy drinking, burning newspaper and candles.

Our activity added to the already terrible PSI level then, due to the Indonesia Forest Fires.

 This year its slightly different, the same activity, but now with my family.

You can’t spot my brother anywhere in the picture? That’s because he’s busy with his camp fire.

Those broken lantern, boxes of sparkles and dead leaves are items for his project.

Sparkles were fun, especially when u don’t bring them actually. These are taken using the N73, so pardon for the poor photo quality.

Some more pictures, we’ve managed to get the Tom and Jerry Lantern, and the red lantern earns its place to the brightest lantern of the day.

Also to my dear father who’s right now still in the seas, playing mahjong probably. Happy mid-autumn festival.

There are quite a number to activities packed up in the week ahead, not forgetting the getting back of prelims results. It’s time to get contained by notes and works soon.

Till then,

Happy Mid-autumn Festival.
