This entry is dedicated to the activities I did in a week - a week I hope can be on repeat mode because I managed to do so much stuff and yet look forward to every single moment of it. A week where I had to stay back later than usual, got lesser rest, but still had so much fun. A week where I got to explore my 'hidden talents' and pushed my boundaries a little further. 

Rock Climbing

I vividly remember the last and only rock climbing I did which was in my P6 camp, being stuck halfway up the wall with only two attempts to "slip" given. Midway up, I tried to reach for the next grip and I slipped. I regained my composure and tried to go for the next stone in sight (think there could be some time limit involved otherwise I might have taken my time to hang around for abit). And no, I did not manage to reach the top of the (kid's) climb on my second try.

Years passed and as fate may have it, I got to face another (adult) climbing wall on my recce trip. Interesting. Tall. Wall. After my colleagues climbed and completed, and so my turn came...

Scorpion Concert

Well, never thought I'd like listening to this type of rock music and now I'm a convert. Been listening to their songs for awhile now so that I'll be able to appreciate their concert better, but the whole experience is just fascinating. Previous concerts have accustomed my ears to shrieks: high pitched ear piercing ones. At this concert, all I could hear were voice-breaking low-sounding cheers *imagine army cheer songs*. I've never seen so many elderly men (40s-70s?) coming together, singing at the top of their lungs and showing the 'rock' hand-sign which I have never seen for quite some time now. Had to say it was really and eye-opening experience, fuelled by powerful cords, smoking guitar, the ever-so captivating drumming solo which were complemented with the nostalgic and well-timed special effects. Safe to say, there're two scorpion fans in the house now.

Cutting Hair

Vrrrrrrr~ Vrrrrrr~ After a few shaves, we both ended up laughing so hard - me feeling a tinge of pity at his partially shaved head and he (I guess) immediately having second thoughts about this money saving idea seeing that I went bonkas. Took awhile to calm me down before being able to proceed and complete what I set out to do. In the end, the cut wasn't thaaaaat bad. His friend even commented that he looks like he went to a barber for a haircut. Well, at least I do it like a barber...right? Next practice session, see you in a few months' time!

Well, a holiday is round the corner and I can't wait! Happy Diwali (or Deepavali as I know it) everyone! "May the glow from the diyas light your heart with happiness and joy!"

Finally, a well deserved break. A breather to catch up on the things I love doing. Did you notice the new blog layout?

Once in awhile, amidst the busy working life, little news like this makes the world a little more colourful. Yes, you didn't read wrong. There's a new kind of blue in town, and it's called YInMn Blue!

Wowee...

Another 10 weeks just went by in the blink of the eye. Tomorrow (meaning Thursday, I wrote this over the midnight stroke) will be the last second day of the week, and the last second day of round 2. Can't wait, but feeling a little apprehensive too. Nothing will change, but everything will be different. Different roles and different responsibilities. Of course, all for the better! Gotta thicken my skin and charge ahead.

The month of May means many big things will be happening but here, I will leave you with a mini quote which I found pretty interesting:

This title is kind of befitting for everything right now, even for my blog's layout. Gonna do some changes to the html cause I just realised my old one doesn't work for the desktop view! Wonder how long has it been that way...

The past 6 weeks have been intense, and fast. So many deadlines to meet and the tedious hours of journeys to the west - 88 in total. It's like I'm stuck in a sustained headache but it hasn't led to the final strike. Butt anyways, since I haven't been updating much since the last post, I'll just give a brief update here:

• I've been living "transiently" between places. My next move will come tomorrow.
• My unexpected personal project is doing pretty awesome (to me).
• Quite excited for the new path ahead, although it might be lonely or expensive.
• Looking forward to learning more stuffs.
• Hoping some people can be nicer and more sensitive.
• Wishing I can say 'hello' to every HP theme park in the world.

I try to look at what can happen in the future because looking back at the past, I pretty much cannot change anything and everything that has happened, happened. Unless we can grab hold of the time turner, we cannot do much about it. Speaking of which, Harry Potter will be unveiling a new theme park in Los Angeles and also a new movie in November!
