A failed project

Feel lousy!

This project failed.

After a break of quite a while from sewing, I have kind of forgotten the procedures.

I have to refer back to the YouTube again and even so, the product was badly finished.

Kind of upset with myself.

To excel in something, one really have to spend a considerably long period of time in excelling in a skill. At work, also have different view with my bosses regarding professional development. I personally feel that making someone do something he is not strong in doesn't make him improve much. I believe in allowing the person to spend time in the skill and through time, the person will excel in it.

I guess I should devote more time in sewing.

2013

Fast forward 8 years, we met again in Singapore. Do we look the same? Some have change a lot, some still look the same.

Some have multiplied, some have expanded.

And Joyce suggested we meet again in Japan in 2015.

So hopefully, we are able to take a group photo then.

2005

This photo was taken in 2005 when we toured Osaka.

A bottle of Love

What a surprise!

This is from Rika all the way from Japan. And they are handmade. Did you see my name on the cookie?

This is so much more precious than anything money can buy. A bottle full of love.

And believe me, they are Oishi!

An old tin box

This is a tin box which we found in a drawer in my dad's place.

It belongs to my late grandmother.

She used to put her valuables or treasured stuff in it an locked it in her drawer. Now only her IC sits in there.

I took it back and put in my drawer.

Perhaps, someone will find this in my drawer when I pass on.

Half a century, almost

During CNY while at my dad's place, we found this necklace which was traditionally worn by kids in the past. It was something which my grandma had asked from a temple for me and it was supposedly to bless me.

As my dad's house has been enblocked, we took away our stuff which were still kept there for almost half a century.

Half a century! My God, how time flies.

Now and Then

Recently, I dug out a picture which was taken long time ago.

And comparing to how I look know, it seems that I've aged quite a bit and its apparent in the photos.

Guess how many years are these photos taken apart?

I guess they are about 15 to 20 years apart.

No. 4

Bought my fourth spectacles.

This one is light and the progressive function works well. I like the optician who help me with the lens as well, very meticulous and careful.

Of the four, this pair is my favorite. Will likely to go back and make more.

Walking down memory lane

This is the place where I spent 35 of my years here.

My dad still lives there now but it's going to make way for a new MRT station. This will be a scene of the past soon and thus wanna capture it before its all gone.

In Singapore, landscape changes faster than a meal is serve in a fast food join.

Soon, Siglap will bear no resemblance of anything I could remember.

New New Balance

A new pair of New Balance for CNY.

Bright yellow to go with my red pants to bring out the festive mood.

Huat Ah!

CNY

Looking at these CNY goodies, it means Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

Thanks to all my colleagues n friends, I got so many varieties of CNY snacks which will last me a long time.

Here wishing everyone a prosperous CNY filled with good health and abundant wealth!

Have a fabulous snake year ahead!
