Where art thou Gracie????

For the record, I didn't go into hiding. Somehow the month of July never seem to come. Maybe there were quite a bit of happenings that's why.

There was Queen's wedding at the beginning of July and then my maternal grandma passed on quite suddenly and her hospitalization then funeral took up the rest of the month. 2 most extreme events happened within the same time frame; I celebrated the start of a new journey of my friend and also said goodbye to por por whose journey here on earth came to a complete stop. Well, nothing pan-tang about it and I'm so not superstitous but now that I'm writing about it, it does stir some thoughts and a tad bit of emotions.

Once in a while I would spot some elderly women walking around the neighbourhood and I would be reminded of my grandma, who always come across as a hearty and fiesty lady. Well I guess her departure happened like a flash of lightning and all of us only began to feel her absence when everything has been settled and we go back to our daily routine. The exception now is that we won't see her anymore. I may not have been particularly close to her but nevertheless she is someone of my immediate family and a loss is a loss.

So July came and went just like that.

I won't even bother to blog about school since I have to do bi-weekly reflections for my record file anyway so I will rant over there! But here...it will just be my little random corner where I will just write whenever & whatever.

Till my next inspirational (blogging) moment.....

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...
