HOME

The wheels rolled out followed by a slight thud on the ground and the plane touched down. Saw the control tower and the sign that says " Changi Airport". Handphones out of the pocket, message and call tones rang and I knew I was back home. Truly Singapore. Hardly seconds to my return, I've had a few messages after another asking me about projects, appointments etc. All of which were absent in the last 2 weeks when I was away. Missed those 'quiet' moments. But I'm back to reality and I cannot run away from it. Re-entry time.

All good things must come to an end. My 2 weeks adventure in Vietnam & Cambodia have concluded but the memories I've had will remain ever so vivid. Till now, I can still recall the moments upon arriving in Vietnam on the 7th of Dec.

So while the trip is still fresh in my head, I shall continue my blogging (I stopped at Day 4 I think!). Meanwhile I've not stopped looking at the 1200+++ pics I took. Personally, I wish I had a month but shall not be greedy. Contented that I had 2 weeks break but backpacking is utterly addictive. There's no end to it. Once you start exploring, you just want to continue. Healthy addiction I suppose!

Anyhow, I'm pretty sure I will be going on another trip (not so soon though). Will start saving up and when the time is ripe, I shall be off again. Hopefully for a longer period (1mth, 6mths or even a year!). Always game for a bigger adventure!

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...

Worthy 2 Quote

Walking right just makes it easier for Him to bless and use you." - Uncle Ross Patterson. 2 powered statements from 2 power servants of God in 2 power weeks. What more can I say? Let my words be few then.
