A lazy Sunday afternoon to pen down this entry. Tink it will take hours for me to complete.
Since I am weak at words, I do hope pictures will do most of the talking.

Well, back from my two weeks long trip to UK.
Tiring! But at the same time, it was a totally new experience for me,
taking into account tat this is the first non-Asia country tat I hav visited.

London, an adventurous city, but definitely not a place for long term stay, at least dis is wat I feel.
Fast paced (Even faster than in SG I supposed), busy n wif sum evidence of hostility fr the locals.
Although I dun wish to admit, but suffering fr culture shock for the first few daes was indeed true for me.

Putting aside the negative sides, here are sum of the positive memories tat I hav brought home wif me.

How could we ever missed out the wax figurines!- Maddam Tussauds at Baker Street



I am so glad that I hav FINALLIE found Marilyn Monroe!

Coming together as one package- The London Sealife, The London Dungeon and The London Eye (Not when I hav not even tried on our own SG Flyers!)

Loving this view!

And not forgetting one of my favorites in London- Trafalgar Square
A v relaxing spot! Falling in love at first sight!


Despite the many museums in London, sad to sae, I hav only been to two of them!
Natural history museum and The British Museum.


Umbrellas. N u noe the reason y.

Of crse, there were reasons behind this.
Dar! Shopping in London!

Camden lock market. Beautiful.

Chinatown!

The renowed Harrods at Knightsbridge!

And some sightseeings on purpose.

Tower Bridge

A glimpse of St Paul's Cathedral near Mansion house station

Shakespear's Globe Theatre

London's CBD- Canary Wharf station! Equivalent to SG's Raffles Place.



Last but not least, two musicals that I have caught in London.
Mamma Mia & Hairspray! Awesome!
I would like to catch more of them if I have the chance!


And well, this post kinda sums up the various activities I had in London.
Of crse, there are more similar posts to come. (If you are interested)
The various tours outside London I hav been to!
And for now, I will stop here.

Today work is a little bit different!
All of us have been trying to solve this little problematic sum tat appears to be the killer qns for dis yr PSLE Maths.
n indeed it was tough!
I am sure I will have left it blank when I am sitting in the examination hall 10yrs ago.

Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?"

But still, we managed to come up with a solution, not sure after how long...

Let the number of chocolates be X and the number of sweets be Y.
X/2-18=4Y/2---------------(1)
X-36=4Y--------------------(1.1)

7(Y/2-12)=X/2-------------(2)
7Y-168=X---------------------(2.2)

Therefore, substituting 2.2 into 1.1
7Y-168-36=4Y
3Y=204
Y=68 ( Ans: Ken bought 68 sweets! )

Substituting Y=68 into 1.1
X-36=4 x 68 = 272
X= 308

This is totally crazy, I remember I learnt simultaneous equation only when I am in Sec 2, maybe?
And when I am still a PSLE candidate 10 years ago, I believe i will have tried attempting dis qns using models!
Of crse to us, this qns seems chicken feet using algebras but den, how would we hav even tot of solving dis using algebras back den, unless we are born to be a Maths genius.

Poor students. Thank goodness I have overcome it.
But no matter wat, i somehow enjoy and miss solving problem sums.
Bring me back to 10 years ago.

Although I am always quite reluctant to be there,
it is always a place of motivation for me.
The opportunity of meeting different pple fr different regions,
there is always the pull for me to get close to them.
Though I cun reciprocate,
being able to listen to their conversations with one another
always interests me to find out what they are talking about.
And when you manage to understand pieces of it,
there is the sense of satisfaction revolving in you.
I am glad I manage to learn a third language like French in sch,
I smile when I remember the reason of me
being so hooked up with K-Pop now
n I am thankful tat we hav chosen Japan as our grad destination,
for now I am no longer confused
between the Korean and Japanese languages,
I will sae dis place has becum a learning platform for me,
has motivated me to master all their languages
after serving each of them,
n not forgetting the desire I have always had of wanting to visit them
at the other parts of Earth in time to come...

N for once, I feel ashamed of the so called service
we hav here in Singapore.
The fact tat we juz wanted to get everytink over n done wif,
the fact tat we juz wanted to close the sales
the fact tat we handle things clumsily and hastily
the fact tat we are in Singapore
n the fact tat I am one typical Singaporean as well.
Comparing the service I have had in Japan
n tinkin bk abt the service
tat we r providing to these foreign customers,
I couldnt help but to sigh.
A sigh tat proves acknowlegement
A sigh tat reflects the truth
A sigh tat portrays dis ugly picture
A sigh tat raises the white flag
A sigh tat releases after seeing how customers can serve themselves
better den a salesperson like you.
The patience , the courtesy, the initiative
the qualities I admire abt the Japanese,
sumtink tat I cld never achieve,
or in fact most of us Singaporeans cld never achieve of.

Its okay. I dun mean tat Singaporeans are bad in everytink
I noe we do hav qualities tat I am proud of as well
But still, I want to see more.
I want to experience more.
N I want to discover more.
More of the beautiful side of dis world.

See, Here and Speak
Let's all begin from today.

无法不苟同你所说的一切

我何曾不是和你一样,

也为此失望伤心过

可是,就像你我大家都知的

人是会改变的

因为长大了,看的听的经历的也多了

因为这样,思想与欲望跟着改变了

也因为这样的改变,所以有了一些调整

有些人因为自己而改变

而有些人为了亲人朋友而改变

但你这所谓的改变,又有多少人能够了解接受?

尽管你再怎么叹气,生气难过都好

你又能做什么呢, 只能无可奈何地安慰自己说

一旦习惯了叹气,生气和难过

自己就会渐渐变得麻木,剩下的也只是份惋惜


不是每个人都能达到你所设定的那个要求

无论你再怎么的去尝试去关心,

就算是你最亲最爱最珍惜的也好

我们能做的也只是睁一支眼,闭一支眼

让每一个人保留自己想要保留的

因为自己设身处地,所以才会这么觉得

我想不管现在的心情如何(也就是老样子LO),

保持一种中立的态度,是最好不过的吧


如何在自己所设下的小空间和朋友关心之中取得平衡。。。

这问题,在我心里依然是个问号。
