All It Takes is a Dance

We are living in a world of strangers. We don’t know who our neighbours are anymore. We are connected by the Net, by IM, we chat and read blogs of people from all across the world. We know each other, but yet we don’t know each other. We are lovers, but yet strangers.

It’s baffling, the whole we live in… but sometimes, all it takes, is just a silly dance, to connect us all, to make us somewhat understand each other, even if it’s just for awhile.




Weekend shopping trip to JB

Last weekend- Saturday 14th June to be exact- I crossed the Causeway to JB for a weekend getaway. My main purpose was to get some banking stuff done, though at the end of the day, that was not exactly settled…

Anyway, I went shopping at City Square as well. I’ve always looked forward for a trip to the SEED store, especially when there is a 50% discount on office shirts. However, this time round, I bought a shirt which was on 10% discount, and I just couldn’t resist getting the above-knees berms, which was at 20% discount. I like both of them alot, so in my opinion, it was a real bargain…

I also went to FOS. I’ve always considered FOS as the best thing that ever happened to Malaysia shopping scene- quality clothes at discounted price. I bought 4 tees, which cost me about RM50 in total… It was quite a bargain, considering two of the tees are of Pull & Bears brand, which would be sold in Singapore for at least SGD30 each…

Fraser’s Hill

Over the Good Friday weekend, I made a trip up to Fraser’s Hill. It bore some of my sweetest childhood memories, and now that i’m older, i could learn better to appreciate the beauty of the place. I shall let the pictures that I took do the talking…
Btw, these pics were taken using my new SE k800i which I got last week after I’ve lost my previous phone.

Happy Easter Day~~
