let it snow

my world is alot like a snowglobe. small and enclosed, like the bubble i am hiding in. because of my passive nature, i would also need someone to shake it up once in a while or else i would totally stagnate.

i was totally going to piss and moan about the current state that i am in, but thanks to some recent shaking, i realise that i am the one who put myself in my current predicament in the first place.

i can choose to waste the next few weeks away or make the best of it. i can waste my 2 week break away or try try try to find something meaningful.

anyhow, i cannot avoid the fact that i am currently de-motivated at work. There is little purpose in my work, other than to help out around. I can blame no one for this, only myself, for I have the chance to read up on literature and find a matter of interest to experiment on, but I am just not willing to use my spare time outside of work to do so. This is my second bout of un-motivatedness that I am facing, just that this time around there seems to be no way out of it.

In recent days and especially today, I have been trawling pictures of my friends’ travels both local and overseas which they had posted on blogs/facebook (yes I am slacking a lot). Those pictures make me wish I was there! I’m not going to name the places, but here goes:


I feel that I could just jump into that stream, something you cant do here because it would be too dirty.


Another scene you would never see here.


I never felt interested in this country before, but this picture totally changed my mind. It is one part exciting, one part scary and many parts awe-inspiring.


This is actually Singapore! My friend is great at photo-taking and writing witty captions. I will probably come here during my break.. the furthest I can go would probably be Ubin anyway..

Apologies to my friends for having stolen their pics. But they’re not going to read this anyway.
