In a nutshell

Quoted from a AFP article on Yahoo News:

"Singapore has a population of just over five million. Most are dependent on public transport because of the prohibitive cost of cars.

Military training is mandatory for young men, emergency drills are held regularly and officials repeatedly warn that the wealthy island, a staunch US ally, is a prime target for attacks by extremist groups in Southeast Asia."


The author could have added that we have been under the ironfisted rule of a certain political dynasty, that would have described our corporation little country quite succinctly.

Good Riddance and a Happy New Year

Good Riddance I say to the people and peeves that played a part in making 2011 a less than desirable year for me.
The dawn of a new year indeed brings about the hope of starting anew on a clean slate but procrastination and baggage does hamper the confidence and motivation to follow through your resolutions to fruition. I shan't delve into the misadventures of yesteryear. You can probably glean from my previous postings :P heh
The moments into 2012 didn't pan out as expected, and it did stay that way til I got myself out of that funk.
And funky isn't good if it starts growing on your wardrobe.. eewww
Oh and I hurt my leg too for the first time in this strange area, there was a swelling just above my ankle below the shin area..*groan...
And I've been partying and feasting too much ever since Zoukout! haha
Chinese New Year goodies come to me!
Enough of the griping! Oops...
We watched the critically un-acclaimed and cliche New Year's Eve on New Years Day ;) with really odd couplings? I mean Josh Duhamel and SJP? Zac Efron and an unrecognisable Michelle Pfeiffer. @_@
Even so, I was a sucker for this feel good movie, it doesn't hurt that the cute guys made it easier on the eyes hahaha.
I guess the message is that life is easier if you look as good as them. Kidding :P
Oh and that you can make a career out of dropping a ball, only in America.

And Ashton Kutcher with Rachel Berry?! He's not too hot anymore, and he probably didn't need much effort in this role, especially in the wardrobe department haha.

The take home message for me is, don't hold back and don't be afraid of the what-ifs?
I am so guilty of that.
Elizabeth Gilbert said: "People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life."

I do hope that everyone will find their true soul mate one day.
Hope springs eternal.
