24 Apr 2011 Maiden Trip To Semakau
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: , ,  | Comments off

For a first timer, its an eye opener, because Pulau Semakau wasn’t quite the island I envisioned. Sure, ashes from burnt trash from main land Singapore is brought over and buried…

What’s unknown, is the lush mangroves and the marine life that is thriving in this fragile ecosystem. I was there, along with some others, on a trip to Pulau Semakau as part of Project Driftnet, to remove the abandoned driftnets and fish traps.

You can read about the findings the other teams had here

A beautiful sunrise greeted us as we set afoot on the island, making our way to the designated spots to start out checks.

18 Apr 2011 Adoring Accessories

Bought these accessories at The Pigeonhole flea market… and yes, I’ve been lazy, only uploading these photos today. These deserves a mention, for they’re absolutely pretty!

Bought them from SHUP(G), and I pretty much fell for most of their accessories, as they feature quirky and fun looking stuff into necklaces, bracelets, brooches.

Do check them out! :) Of course, the accessory in this photo isn’t for myself, its for the sister…

And this beauty was made possible thanks to the customization that Dawne from Earring Addict made for me.

By now, you would have realize that I love camera shaped pendants, and this addition is no surprise. :)

17 Apr 2011 Singing Sunday
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

If the hero, never comes to you
If you need someone, you’re feeling blue
If you wait for love, and you’re alone
If you call your friends, nobody’s home
You can run away, but you can’t hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night
Then I’ll show you there’s a destiny
The best things in life, they are free

It’s a Sunday, and for once, I’ve some time to myself to get down to speed with my own stuff. In this hot weather, chillaxing at home is probably the next best thing than getting sunburnt outdoors :)

Loads of adventures outdoors for me lately, and I can’t wait to share them all with you! :)

01 Apr 2011 First April
 |  Category: my life  | Tags:  | One Comment

Thus marks a beginning of a new quarter of 2011. Gee, the first 3 months came and flew by so quickly. Goodness.

Nonetheless, its been quite an adventure of sorts for me, apart from the on going hulabalu…if you know what I mean. I could probably declare that the worst is over, or maybe not. In any case, it won’t be very nice to jinx my chances.

I’m glad that the week is almost over and looking forward to spend time in the outdoors. Its good to be able to bask in the lovely sunshine, amongst the call of insects, lush trees and priceless company. Blissful eh?

Truth be told, I don’t know how many enjoy reading my daily muses on my blog, but I will still write them anyway, apart from other content found here as well.

May you have a great weekend ahead, and excuse me while I disconnect to connect once more.
