Chinese New Year @Marina Bay

It was Saturday night, and my block is extremely quiet. I finished my readings, staring at my wall, it was then I decide to go to Esplanade Library and have a look at Chingay on the way.
View of Raffles hotel and singapore Merlion from Esplanade.

Quite the contrary, CHINGAY is not chinese + gay association ! It is a grand event during chinese new year to promote the diversity of chinese cultural. Several performance from HK and China took part, our hall would have got to perform if we had won the Rag and Flag.



CNY is widely celebrated here, esplande has a month long event "hua Yi" for chinese performing art. Lu guang Zhong is coming on next sat, well, if only I'm able to buy his ticket earlier ( it sold out 1 month ago).

Down the road,Marina bay, where National Parade take place every year, there a carnival!






A complete life size chess set

Wishing well, where you need to throw coins to hit the bell, for you wish to come true. I guess the organiser earn a fortune!

Hand puppet from Taiwan, it's amazingly delicate!

A 4 storey high God of Fortune... we all need him this year....


Happy Chinese New Year to all~

New Semester

First week of semester, anticipated full blast of life full with lectures and classes. Instead, I spend the most time on Inter Hall Games, screaming out lungs at fields; while going accapella/choir practises.

I'm a full time hall student, part time NUS student.( my parent will shocked to death reading this)

It is amazing how we can put such magnitude of passion, along with dedication and willingness to sacrifice time in things we love.

Imagine having sport training for 3 sports,each 3 times a week, 3 hour per session.

Or 3 vocal session per week, on average 4 hour per session.

Maybe sometimes life is all about these little, un-studies-related things.

I started to hope uni life will never end.

If we know that they only have a limited time to live(say 10 more years), will we be doing the things we do now?

Is study really THAT important?

Oh my, I think I have gone to the dark side.

Slack time

Song to destress

Damien rice - Cannon ball

Stones taught me to fly,
love taught me to lie,
life taught me to die,
so its not hard to fall,
when you float like a cannonball.

Stones taught me to fly,
love taught me to cry,
so come on courage, teach me to be shy,
because its not hard to fall,

and I don't want to scare her--

Random Thoughts

This week, i handed all my project/assignment.....

1 - South East Asian review


2 - Film and history The talladega night review



the two lecturer is wacky, its a great module and i felt like I have learnt alot about america history


3- Philosophy





My political science friends are so hyped up about Obama, nearly every tutorial class in other subject talks about America election. Amidst all the celebration and the hail of " the birth of new generation", I'm somewhat skeptical about his grand plan, can he really CHANGE, the US situation is pretty mess-up and the congress/the senator have their own agenda. How obama going to convince them to join the change?


I guess i'm just pessimistic ( or rather, like what my senior said-racist) but i await the societal reform in US, where all race is being treated equally in term of economics and social welfare. I'm indeed very proud of our humanity, to see that people has shed their old " i must protect my race" mindset and voted for a president who are from other race.After all these years!! Its great to be in this era to witness such change!!!

It been said that Obama has well read about the civil-right movement and inspire by Dr King, I find it very true, I mean, look at the speech he gave! If, this movement manage to carry out in America , it will been a leading example for other country *cough* malaysia *cough*.

I await the day when someone is able to step up and propose the concept " where malay, chinese , indian and other races is equally treated", where race is no longer a determinant for our ideology or desire to prosper, where a just society will be formed so we no longer have to seek "protect" by restricting other race.

And this time, it wouldnt be said just for the sake of signing some declaration or agreement.

Change, might be just what we need.
