Went to the Australian National Maritime Museum today... Been long since I've been to one. So little time, insufficient to explore much actually. But what moved me was to read some history about Titanic. Listening to a tour guide imparting knowledge about a WW2 ship named Vampire when we literally toured around the massive ship... was cool. I will go back. I must.
When we came back to the apartment, this spectacular view was...

150/366: happy
It's the 150th day of the year. Celebrate by counting your joys.
Today I'm happy because:
1. Central Station:
Taking public transport is a tad bit expensive but the journey is exciting. Trams especially, since we don't have that in Malaysia!!
2. Zinc Cafe:
Ah! Seeing this puts a smile on my face because it reminded me of some close friends back home. My nickname is 'zinc' to some of them, and see, I apparently own a cafe...
149/366: stable
Feeling stable right now in 2 ways: my family finally bought a stable portable wifi thingy that allows decent internet connection as previous attempts to associate with Internet sadly failed, and also, am feeling not so homesick as the past few days, hence, secured !
(holiday in Sydney now)
Will be blogging with pictures taken from my iPod this whole trip. Yay exciting change!
Tonight while walking across this view I felt...
144/366: funniest
This photo is funny in reasons only we'll understand.Tonight was one of the funniest outings I had this year. Number points for summary:
Undecided for what to eat, discussed western japanese asian choices and ended up in a cute small korean outlet !!!
Discovered my very very hyper obsession for pretty shoes and rings, not good at all !
Self-control for not buying.
Random random random roaming around heeee
Caught a glimpse...
142/366: (out)comfort
ignore my weird face, the angle is unflattering for me hahaha, but this picture is really priceless..
(out)comfort = out of comfort zone
Tonight
I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided that letting a waiter take a picture is perfectly fine
Not caring what others think
When they look at us
Because nobody else normally would ask the waiter..... I mean cause it's just some normal dinner...
But because the memory is for...
140/366: of
Of the most random place to take a group picture ever!
Of calling it our usual place.
Of the most last minute form 5 class (or a quarter of the class) reunion. Of bumping into 2 other friends. Of gold chili and snowflakes. Of random conversations.
Of being inspired by Shufei's "Of......." !...
139/366: grooming
So this is how HappyG looks when he is enjoying a car ride.We brought him for his first grooming ever!This is the before picture. No after picture sorry, heh.
He came home smelling the best he could ever smell. And being the most handsome dog in the neighbourhood !
Seriously, all dogs barks at him and he never barks at them when they do. I smell jealous...
135/366: bone
I don't know what I would be without him.
Through taking care of him I have learned things that I'll never learn elsewhere.
Gave him this bone today and he was munching it like it's the most important thing he has to do!
I recorded a video too!
Constantly reminded that as a human being, I have my family, loads of friends and people I can mingle around with. But for my dog (and all dogs), we're literally all that they have.
&...
133/366: passion.&.purity
I finished this book in the wee morning.
Memorable quotes:
"But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God." (p.60)
"Do something for somebody else. No matter who or where you are, there is something you can do, somebody who needs you. Pray that you may be an instrument of God's peace, that where there is loneliness you...
132/366: mcd
I have a love-hate relationship with McD.
When I was in primary 6, I stayed back everyday after class until 6pm. McD was nearby, and the people I used to hang with went there constantly. For everything and anything.
& 7-11. For snacks, and mainly cup mee.
Seriously I think I drank more than 100 cups of McD coke that whole year.... and excluding the frequent free refills? At least 1 refill each time. If only I loathed...
131/366: fit
Dear Claire,
If you're reading this now just to recollect back what you wrote..
Please do carry in your heart and mind that you are exercising(hopefully) to stay fit. Not to become thin. It is unhealthy to constantly be over-conscious about your body weight.Don't be confused when a few people tell you that you should lost weight, yet some other say that you need to gain weight. Don't be confused. Just love...

the darkest days won't hurt

call it strength
call it pride

in the end
everything fades
except the fuel

129/366: packing
Sometimes packing is fun.
We rid things we don't need.
We find things that used to define our lives.
Or time.
We find junk.
&
treasures.

128/366: sparks
Tonight's moon was incredible.
The above picture is zoomed in from the original. No edits besides the zooming.
This picture still does no justice, because if you were to experience the beauty of the moon tonight, you won't sleep.
Given a choice, we would all camp out in open grass, glancing at the sky till our eyes fail us.
With our loved ones all lying with us.
Dream....
127/366: sXe
Last night's moon.
(shot with mum's canon ixus 115, zoom to the max if i remembered correctly, :D)
Thoughts on straight edge.
Thoughts on alcohol.
Thoughts on peer pressure.
Thoughts.

126/366: double2
I love sitting in the front seat.No matter with who.There's so much laughter. If there's music, singing or making fun to it. If there's not, just conversations and cracks of endless jokes.This evening was amazing.
I got to witness a glimpse of sunset in the most unexpected, breathtaking place.& dinner. Nandos for life!!! When I earn my own money next time, I'm stoked to go there once a month!

125/366: u-turn
not a u-turn sign, but its vagueness as in being a "half u-turn" is equivalent to the vagueness of this post
Nights like this I feel like I'm steering through a fairly unfamiliar road.
Everything's vague.
They say don't live your life pleasing others. But it can be seen as loving them because we're doing things to make those people happy. Or because we want to be accepted by them, simply because we accept them, hence we...
124/366: moon
The moon was astonishingly bright tonight.
Once I realize it I frantically asked my bro to Google "How To Take Moon Pictures"..... Haha.
The truth is, there's quite some settings prior to capturing a good moon picture using a DSLR!
But I'm only using the basic kit lens, that's why it's so small... Hmms...
Shall try my mum's digital' zoom lens some other night! I desperately hope that I am constantly motivated and moved to...
123/366: bach
shot with mum's canon ixus again! not bad!
Bach is seriously one fantastic composer.
The above piano piece I'm playing can be analysed into so many different sections. Unexpected to the maximum.
But it's really cool.
On this rainy gloomy day, I survived.... despite having headache.
Due to sleeping late.
Remind me again why are we a generation of sleep deprives ?...
122/366: May
I bought a new sketchbook !
The above sketch is really messy, but I will improve through time. It's been long since my sketching days. Hmmss.
Today:
I finally release the updates of 13 overdue posts! (Yes, finally!) Click -------> 90, 91, 92, 94, 108, 109, 112, 113, 115, 118, 119, 120, 121
Really wishing May will be nice to me.
Because I had an extremely rough April.
But...
