A Nice Day Out

Spent a very interesting day with dear dear at the Singapore Air Show held at Changi Exhibition Centre. I've never once thought I would be going to the Air Show and I never knew it was such a big event. Truth be told, if it's not for dear dear, I would still be clueless about this event.

It was so exciting watching Singapore's fighter planes display their speed and agility in the air. Seeing how the pilots maneuver the planes in the air is awe inspiring. Seriously, I was filled with adrenaline when I saw the planes fly past. I could hardly contain my enthusiasm but it was contained towards the end of the display.

Personally, I felt that the exhibition hall is kind of redundant because to be honest, the items on display are for sale and who the hell can afford them other than countries and the ultra rich? You can see the exhibitors being kind of bored too. After all, all the VIPs have already made their rounds on Friday and have bought whatever they have came to buy.

The planes that are on display are a real eye opener. Too bad the queue was way too long, else I would love to sit in one of the cockpits just for a feel of it. Specifically the F16 because that's dear's aircraft.

Here's some pictures to share.


















The weather was crazy! Raining and cloudy at first and hot like hell the next moment.. I actually got sun burnt from just being out in the open for a few hours. Can't believe it because I hardly get sun burnt, even when I'm dragonboating. And now I have uneven tan lines AGAIN. Great, just great -.-

Bangkok!

I'm finally going on a holiday this year! What a vast difference this year is compared to last year. I've become domesticated. HAHA. Wonder who can do that to me... well, only that one special person... Anyways, I'm going Bangkok with my DB peeps and I'm getting excited! It was an impromptu kinda holiday as Bangkok is not in my list of to go place. I had a bad experience the last time I was there and didn't get what the hype is about. But then again, it could probably be the companion I went with and the agenda the other time. It was more work then fun. I can't wait to get on that flight and fly away... hopefully I'll come back refreshed! xoxo, Mabel

That indescribable feeling

I was pondering to myself why people say that when you love someone, you couldn't give a reason why you love him/her. If you could give a reason, it just goes to show that you love those qualities in that person, not the person. In the past, I am a firm believer of the latter. That love has no reasons. When reflecting on my own relationship, I was thinking to myself whether is it really true. That love has no reasons. The romantic side of my thinks it's true, while the pragmatic side says otherwise. Here's what I have concluded. I love that my man is dependable, easy going, good natured, positive in attitude and outlook in life, stable. Basically the rock in my life (there's no need for any other rock, seriously). But hey... Lots of men possess the qualities stated above. But none is able to capture my heart like how he did. THAT is the reason I cannot find words to explain. THAT is why I am drawn to him and not any other guys that possesses the same qualities...

15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

[Quoted from http://www.purposefairy.com/ ] Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go: 1. Give up your need to always be right. There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make?...
