A little sign from God goes a long way.

On Thursday morning, I drove my family car to SOC, where my sister would take over to continue her journey to her work.

It was around 6.25 am, and I felt rather awake compared to the previous mornings in the last week, despite having to wake up at 4.45 am for Sahur or a light meal before the beginning of fast. I was entering PIE (Tuas) from Tampines Ave 2 slip road, signalling right to change lane. Taking for granted that it usually has light traffic flow at that time, I felt a tinge of complacency in me. As I signal right to change lane, there was an oncoming bus, which was travelling at about the equal speed as me. Rather than slowing down to change lane, I decided to accelerate. But that was obviously the wrong move, cos in the next moment, I was jolted out of my senses when the bus let out a long 3 seconds horn.

On the rest of the journey, I kept pondering how close I was to being involved in an accident. Not only that, I perceived that close shave as a sign from God, reminding me that I shouldn't get complacent again. It also reminded me about the true reality of driving in Singapore. You may practise close to a hundred percent safe driving (not that I was doing that then), but that does not rule out a possibility of getting involved in a traffic accident. When that happens, it will definitely be due to some Singaporean with ego the size of Jupiter, who simply refuses to give way to you. Of course, it is unfair to generalise, undermining those who actually are courteous drivers. It is always nice to witness such encounters sporadically.

Nevertheless, I'm glad I received that sign from God which goes a long way for me =).

let the pictures (and some words) do the talking!

I feel rather lazy of late to conscientiously blog about serious stuffs that I've been wanting to talk about. Well, this time, it's about the STAR Cruise I went last week. It was definitely interesting and eye-opening, doing and seeing many things (which you're about to see in the photos) for the first time in my life. Feel free to post any comments! =)

STAR Cruise Virgo, set to sail!

First step into my tiny little room.

Beautiful sunrise, sleepy face.

Yea, that's what my childhood lacks.

Soaking in every moment of the beauty of Redang Island (Malaysia).

On the way to snorkelling. (that life jacket is a must =p)

My squadmates on the cruise, including that little bugger on the extreme left.

Spending last moments of the cruise at the jacuzzi.

Home sweet home.

Now, you must be wondering what that last photo is doing in this post. Or maybe assuming that I've uploaded the wrong picture. Well, no. And no, they were not on the cruise. (erm fyi, they're two of the main characters in Heroes, but I've no idea who they are. Haha) So here's how it went: After clearing the customs at the Harbourfront Centre, I was good to go, but decided to spend some time at Vivocity. I was only beginning to wonder why was there such a huge crowd on a weekday, when I saw the posters, banners and even the red carpet welcoming the stars from Heroes. So bored I was, that I decided to disguise as an avid Heroes fan and patiently await their arrival on the red carpet. After a wait of about 45 minutes, they came, along with top-of-the-lung screams from the fans (but me). So I got my camera ready and snapped a few pictures as they sashayed past. The above picture is apparently the best picture I managed to take. Haha. And I still do not know their names. Well, with so many people rating so highly for Heroes, I guess I should start watching it. =D

I can smell my ORDinary recORD wORD!

It's 64 days to the end!

ORD-oH!
