Halfway there

Behind me the shadow comes undone,

It leaves a mark as if in the wake of the saints,

Where things went the way of the heavens,

And fortune smiled on me,

Enough times to bring me to this point.

What's it all come to?

Of the conversations spoken,

Each day is shattered and broken,

To bring a new one,

Where in this world,

The future began yesterday.

-The future began yesterday.

As the semester came to an end, in RP fashion, the class mates would be broken up, here is a photo of most of the class present. Goodbye W54N, the class of sports management. New semester to come, in the next few days.

Heres two videos taken of class being conducted in the sports hall, we're playing a game of captains ball while simulating the participants to be handicapped people lacking the ability to walk. Those standing are the referees.

And so began my holidays! I was off to Europe for 2 weeks! It took me almost 24 hours to get to Austria, to the first part of my holiday at Zell Am See.

 And you can imagine how welcoming must be after 24 hours... 13 hours of flying from Singapore to Amsterdam, 2 hour transit wait, from Amsterdam to Munich with a 1 hour flight, 1 hour of wait to get the car, 5 hours of driving.

Presenting Hotel Eichenhof

The Living Room

The Bed room

The balcony.

This is the view from my room in the day.

This is view from my room in the evening.

 

Now let me take you around the town. Our hotel was on a hill, so this is some random pictures I took on the way down. I'll the pictures do the talking of my journey around town =)

 

 

 

 

  And I leave you now with a lady dressed in the traditional Dress in Austria. More of Europe to come next! Adieu to all.

When she turned 21

when your number is 21

remember the peace that you know,
And that there is no need to control
Where we live in the moment
Every waking moment is precious
Because we push each other up,

 like milk and honey
 when your number is 22
-For Jols

On the 6th day of the 6th month, Jolene turned 21. Here's a look at one of my closest girlfriend's big day! =)

It was a mad hatter party at House and we were in a greenhouse like dining area.

We had a ton of pizzas to eat, and they all tasted great!

Probably one of the best pizzas... truffle pizza!

The most common theme of the pizzas was the Rocket salad on top.

Yi Shyan was my date for the party. =) [She's taken by the way, by a great guy who's not me]

The two people who kept me the most company during the lunch was Shyan and Rachel, my neighbouring party mates, swapping hats with people and just having fun.

Of course, a party's never complete without the entertainment of the party... Jolene eating Peas. For some strange bizarre reason, she hates peas and it makes her gag...

And here is Jolene's birthday cake with a huge sparkler candle!

A good friend, amazing conversationalist and best lending ear and probably one of the most understanding people I know, who is one of the few people who takes the most shit from me. Thanks Jolene =)

I leave you all with a photo of the main group who attended the party. Adieu to all!

Catching the train

In an unfamiliar setting,

When your breath creates a mist,

The different faces,

The different races,

A minority in a foreign land,

A sense of rush,

Urgency and not knowing what things would be like.

Looking down the tracks,

As the train stretches on,

And its almost time to go.

I've got to rush to catch the train.

-Catching the train

Okok... I know its been a million years. I'm going to start posting about things that left off since may, which was say... 4 months ago? Ahaha, sorry for such a long period of not blogging. I've not been taking as much photos or was too lazy to blog about it here. Was in the mood for writing more than posting photos. Haha, I guess I'm a writer at heart. Loving writing more than pictures... Alright lets get to back to where we were from after may till the point where we are now which is where the shot I took off the antwerp central train station in Belgium on the platform on the train I was taking to Bruges, I'm going to do it over several posts in the next few days. Its time to catch up with that train! =)

Back to where I left off in May...

In that two weeks, we did not go to JB but the guys hung out still, here's a photo of us having lunch at astons at cathay before we caught the movie, which title I've totally forgotten by now... Hah.

Here's us having lunch before the godfather marathon... Teena on the left followed by dom, me, sharan and nic

Here is a pic of nic being caught trying to eat before everyone else. Haha

My lil sis Rachel came over to bake, gym and catchup with too.

A cookie my sis made and gave me... Haha. Love ya lil sis =)

We also went clubbing during the 2 weeks, I managed to catch up with my friend Shi Long who I've not seen in a long time, and also met up with Rachel there.

It was a busy 2 weeks, of course it would not be compelete without Jolene's 21st birthday party! I will blog about it in my next post and I'll leave you guys with a teaser of the party! The Mad hatter party at house =) Till the next post, adieu to all! =)
