2011 in a nutshell

It's 6th of Janaury 2012.

It's our last January if the world ends at 2012. 

Still, I live normally, going for work as usual, online as usual, stay quiet when I am alone as usual.

Really couldn't figure out what would I do if tomorrow is the end of the world. Hope that internet and skype still in service if the dooms day comes, I can see my loved ones for one last time at least.

It has been a year or so since I left home, graduated, stepped into the grown-up world, my point of view towards life and how I want to live my life has changed, in a good way. Do whatever I want whenever I could, love whoever is lovable, and of course hate whoever I think she's a bitch or he's a bastard, eat whatever I like without thinking of the fat, buy whatever I like without bothering others' comments, shout whenever I have hatred within me *but make sure I don't shout at the one I love.  :)) So whether the world ends or not, I am cool with it~

By the way, 2012 started well, but problems coming continuously after that, hope things go smoother after this. *fingers crossed* Just I need to calm myself down, 保持愉快的心情最重要!

Here I go, 2011 in a nutshell.

.

.

.

Kick-started 2011 by spending time in Eva's house. Friendship would never changes if you treat each others true heartedly. This is what I always believe in.

.

.

.

February 2011, marched back home, for CNY, their craziness always drive me crazy?! Hah!

.

.

.

And made it for Song Susu's birthday! For your information, I would do anything for this lady down here. 义无反顾 is what they call it. And of course for some other Goo Po Man *if any of my Goo Po Man is reading this. Muackss!

.

.

.

It isn't home without Bin Bin in it~

My little hunny bunny. :)

.

.

.

And of course all of my precious ones. Having a family photo during CNY is our tradition.

.

.

.

A lot of events going on during February. No doubt, we were celebrating V's day!

Four of us. With NO boyfriends. And YES, we had fun!

.

.

.

March 2011

Had been away to my favorite trip ever!

Would never forget how amazing and how magnificent those scenery are.

Lucky to have seen such stunning places before the world ends.

Wadi Rum and Petra.

.

.

.

April 2011, we would never waste any benefit that is offered by the company, Extra Crew is one of the benefit, we travel for free, so why not spending our days off in different countries?

To Paris, such romantic country with them! :[ 

Hah! Eiffel tower stunned me still! Je t'aime!

.

.

.

And May and June 2011,

Met up with the brothers after soo long. 

Together we conquered the Big Apple.

Oh ya, and I went back home for a sweet little vacation! :)

.

.

.

July 2011. Summer and heat!

I've got myself tanned during the trip of Rome.

To have seen one of the 7 wonders *slashing Coloseum  from my bucket list.*

To have eaten the most delicious gelato in the whole wide world.

I'm contented! :)

.

.

.

August 2011.

Seems like I kept travelling throughout the whole year.

Hell Yeah! But we always minimized our budget while maximizing our joy at each and every places, or else we would be broke by the time we finish a trip.

Have been to Belgium.

And I had the greatest meal ever in Brussels.

.

.

.

September.

Another item from my bucket list got slashed off.

Niagara Falls.

And new contract signed, what happened after that?

I keep flying. 

With a slightly higher allowance.

.

.

.

October. 

Ever since the Belgium's trip, I always do a lot of homework on what are those delicacies on the destination we are going. Ever since that trip, our budget on food, BOOM! 

Barcelona, opened up my eyesight towards architecture. Those buildings, they can be so alive with so much colors and different structures. Everything is possible, this is what I thought after seeing such amazing architecture.

.

.

.

November 2011,

the year is coming to the end, and we, Chinese use to say, the best is always at the bottom of the pot, which means the last is always the best. 

Same goes to my 2011.

Cici Tan, one of my Goo Po, was in the town!

Besides that, papa, mama and Mei Yi came for their vacation too!!

And here, my another place in bucket list was slashed off too.

Egypt.

.

.

.

December 2011.

Had a busy November and also December.

Went to Beirut for our days off. 

Unlike other arabic countries, Lebanon is looking european.

The liquors in Beirut are CHEAP, and I got wasted consequently.

I don't like the taste of alcohol, but I do like the feeling of getting drunk.

And,

this photo of me puking was well-captured. 

We had Winter Solstice before Christmas. 

Rice flour dumplings, 吃了长一年, which means we grow 1 year older after we have the rice flour dumplings. 

.

.

.

Voila! 

I had done a lot in my 2011, a lot of dreams came true, countless ups and downs. But life goes on, we could stop anything but time. I've attained some of my goals within this 1 year time. *clap clap*

Live life to the fullest, it's easy to say it than to do it. I can only try my best!

2012, I want to become a better person. In every way.

Hmm, quite hard to do so. 

But, who cares?

Life's good. 

Smile more!

Cheers!!

Have a simple Friday!

Imagination

What do you really want? I am certain on what I want. That's good, because I know what I really want.

But the thing that matter now, is how to move on. I feel helpless to stay home and do nothing with my camera. I desperately want to move on!!

I am thinking over the same things night over night. So many plans go on in my head, a family photo session, trip to Venice with so many pair of couples, which I can do whatever experiments I desire on them. It's killing to wait for the time to pass and to wait for all the plans to come true! 

It's christmas' eve of 2011, I've been quite a good girl this year, there is no chimney in my house, but I hope Santa could get me a dream-come-true opportunity by breaking the window of my room, I don't mind! :)) *Getting ready a pinky sock*

No crazy celebration this year, stay home peacefully with my christmas-feel pyjamas. Just talked to my family, just had a simple dinner with Vicky, just liked a status of Mei Yi celebrated her christmas with her bunch of closed friends, just tagged a post for Song Lee See, my BFF, to lure her for Mayday's coming concert, listening to Mayday's new album, and writing blog post! I'm blessed to have celebrate it this way. Life's good, except I want to take loads of photos so badly!!!!! 

Photo of the post, Christmas of 2009, with my girls! 

Last christmas I gave you my heart!:))

And before ending the post, a shout out to myself!

夢想永遠是逆光 只有剪影的模樣

會有什麼細節 什麼體驗？ 不要只猜想！

By Mayday

Cheers!!!!

And Merry Christmas!

Have a joyous Sunday!

  

仓颉

我的五月天终于出辑啦！

不知不觉地等了三年，真的没察觉等了那么久。

因为他们的歌，我还是每天都在听，首首都像在听着新歌一样地听。

是我努力向前走的动力。

新专辑很有意思，第二人生。

末日前的五月天。

这首我很爱。

仓颉。

石头作曲，和阿信填的词。

和‘如烟’一样，喜欢石头的曲，和阿信的词。

仓颉。

仓颉传说是汉字的创造者。

一颗葡萄有多甜美 
用尽了所有的图腾和语言 描写
想一个人有多想念 
那又是文字失效瞬间

结一个纪念的绳结 
记录你离去后 万语和千言 瓦解
升起了慌张的狼烟 
我一落在最孤独史前 的荒野

多遥远 多纠结 多想念 多无法描写 
疼痛 和疯癫 你都看不见
想穿越 想飞天 想变成 造字的仓颉 
写出 能让你快回来 的诗篇

一只蝴蝶有多鲜艳 
能不能飞越过 猜忌和冷漠 世界
给你的简讯和留言 
说不清万分之一追悔

当星宿都沉默山岳 
只盼你会抬头 看我寄托的 弯月
当一个文明即将熄灭 
有什么证明你我存在 的岁月

多遥远 多纠结 多想念 多无法描写 
疼痛 和疯癫 你都看不见
想穿越 想飞天 想变成 造字的仓颉 
创造 能让你想起我 的字眼

多遥远 多纠结 多想念 多无法描写 
疼痛 和疯癫 你都看不见
想穿越 想飞天 想变成 造字的仓颉 
写出 能让你快回来 的诗
需要你 需要你 需要你 想逆转时间 
回到 最开始 有你的世界
想穿越 想飞天 想变成 造字的仓颉 
写出 让宇宙能重来 的诗篇

When I have time.

I'm free again, so I browsed through so many photographers' blog and stuff today, still, so much things to learn in order to become what I've dream of. Little by little, I'm on my way. :))

Out of boredom, I did this for everyone in my house,

And this, just to block away the light from glasses of the door for my room.

Ate a good proper meal today and feeling healthy! :))

Have a nice Sunday!

Ng Family Rocked Middle East!

Wow!!

I haven't been here for a month!! Gosh! However, wasn't flying that much last month, I've reached my high hour, flew around 840 hours this year, and we are not allowed to fly over 900 hours per calendar year. That's why I was given a high-hour-holiday, which is good for me, got to bring my parents and Mei Yi around when they were here for vacation.

It was great to have them here in Jordan to bug me. They were here for 9 days, as usual, they argue about every little things now, and the next second, they become close again, like two peas in a pod. The noisiness made me felt like I'm at home. :) 

Never really ask if they enjoy the trip here. But I hope they did. I admitted that I didn't really have a well-planned trip for them. Hope that next trip would be a better one that they don't need to worry about me spending too much money on the trip, which I think it's unnecessary for them to worry about it. We've spent too much of their money in the past quarter century, it's our turn now to take over that role, at least little by little. :)

We started our trip from Cairo, Egypt, then only we were back in Amman.

We were there few days right before the election started. Despite the unstable political condition in Cairo, we still managed to go through the tour, without any obstacles. In fact, we were not in the town where the demonstration took place. We were staying all the time at Giza, the outskirt of Cairo for the first day. And Saqqara, Memphis for the rest of the days. 

Here are some photos of the trip~

Peas in the pod with the royal tombs of King Khufu and King Khafre. Now only I realised Papa wore like an archaeologist that day~Ha!

We were there having tea and watching the sunset and the pyramids! Life's good! :))

 The next day, we went to Saqqara for its Step Pyramids and Pyramid of Teti. We got to go inside the pyramid and it was a thrill!!

Honey mooner at the Citadel of Cairo.

We flew back to Amman after few days in Cairo, visited Ajloun Castle and Jerash at the north of Jordan. 

Like father like daughter!!Papa being modeled by Mei Yi. Hehe~

I love the following shot~Anak manja~

 Then we continued our adventure to Wadi Rum, Aqaba, Deadsea and Ma'in hotspring at the south of Jordan! 

Wadi Rum for its sand, rock, sunset and hospitality of Bedouin. One thing I love the most is the black tea with sage!My all time favorite!!

Family photo!!Love the sand!!

Papa mama and the tea!!Cheers!!

Without any reason, I love the following shot! :)

It was too cold for them to stay overnight in Bedouin camp that night, I decided to save the sleepover in Wadi Rum to the next trip, so we headed south to stay overnight at Aqaba. :))

And the next day, we headed back to north, for Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and Ma'in hotspring of Jordan!

I couldn't stop laughing when i browsed through the photos taken at Dead Sea, papa and mama looking like the Shrek and Princess Fionna with the mud!! :D

Utterly CUTE!!

I'm so gonna bring them over to Amman again next year's spring~ 

Life's good!!Cheers!!

Have a cheerful Saturday!!!

Little Thing I love : Love

Love. Another little thing I love besides 'Dream'.
Love is best friends make fun of each others ends up laughing together like all the problems in life don't matter anymore. *I miss U,U,U,U.....*
Love is the boy and girl trying to sit and talk to ease away all the pain after a big fight.
Love is a sister hugging a sister when the world turns its back on her and no one else understand how difficult it is to her.
Love is parents try to ease an anxious daughter by telling her 'Everything is going to be alright' which in fact they don't even know if things would goes alright, and they just want their little girl to stop crying.

How nice if love is really all around. As I grow, I see love become lesser, even me, I don't show it easily as I started putting up wall to protect myself from hypocrites around. As time goes by, you stop showing love when you get used to life like that.

Okay, stop whining! Back to what I really want to jot down in this blog.
Love is still wonderful! Really! No matter how much ugly and dark things happen, Love still able to overpower the dark side of the world. It can makes things happen. That I always believe in.

In the name of LOVE and DREAM (Dream for me, the color is baby blue, don't know why), I bought my camera, hoping to use the shutter to capture those beautiful moments I love, save them and keep them forever.

Not long ago, we had been traveling to Barcelona for our days off and it really is a beautiful place. Extremely picturesque. So I thought, it would be a great chance for me to practice my skill with such a beautiful place and lovely couple *ahem*, cross my heart, although I always make fun of Natalie and Mah Chun Chiat, but I love to see them being together, so much bond between them and LOVE! They are cute together. :)

I love what I see, just adjusted some brightness and sharpness and color tone of the photos. That's it.
And I find it's really hard to instruct them to pose. I tried to but the effects were so damn funny. Dare not to post it out. More works need to be done. Before that, I have to sharpen my skill still. Get familiar with my camera and LOVE him more~ :))

Here you go, few successful photos out of THOUSAND shots. :p

Love what my baby can do in low light condition. 

And the last photo here, is the one that I like the most among all. 

Shout out to Mei Yi and Zoe! I want to practice on you guys!
Muackss!

Before ending the post, I just want to say,
I LOVE YOU!! :))
Makes the world brighter!


Have a lovely Monday!

我不是真正的快乐

最近背着太多的负面能量，释放不出来，没有大笑，又很久没有真正的大哭，好辛苦！所以决定来个真正的一趟心灵之旅。去一个我一直想去的国家，做一件我一直想做的事情。就明年，出发！

Have a great Saturday!

Anniversary

1 year it is! To be precise, 1 year and 18 days. It has been one hell of a ride!!

And I've already signed myself to the airline for another year. Congratulations to myself!

By the way, I still haven't finish exploring the world, I have to at least explore all the seven wonders before I decide to leave.

Despite the traveling, this job is really addictive, of the money, of the experience, of the people you meet. I wonder if I can survive if I'm leaving this job behind. When the time comes, I have to take another big step again, to be out from the huge swirl of cotton candy. I'm gonna just let it flow now~ 

I have this confidence that I can do whatever I want as long as I WANT it. The will, that I always have it. The good thing is I'm not worried for myself, but from the other hand, the bad thing is I'm thinking too much that I stop learning and stop growing, stop wanting something. Or another word, I'm sitting on my comfort zone, not wanting to move anymore. This bugged me nowadays, going to start finding something else other than my works and flight, to keep myself occupied. Learning more Arabic words is my next target and after getting my camera, I'm going to get myself moving towards my DREAM! Practices make perfect! Don't ever give up!

The life is going on, and I keep writing my very own chapters in the way I want it to be. I'm very glad of this! The way I want it to be. =]

Cheers peep!

Here is the photo of the post!

Was having dinner with the girls, not all of us, but we were all as if together. There will always be a next-time.

Cheers!!

Life is short, play MORE

I'm here! Didn't blog for ages! So many things going on this month, flights, life, trips, dream, relationship, lies, confession, korean drama series *=P*, enjoyment, gossips, foods, achievement...This is life. And excuses for me to skip my blog! =]

Always wanted to blog about my favorite trips, but too many things have to be done which caused the procrastination that grows in me. Came back from Belgium last month for my days off and also Canada, the short break for this month's days off! I definitely voted Belgium as one of my favorite trips! That country is so underrated, may be that's why the visit was unexpectedly awesome! Friendly and handsome people *=P*, drooling foods, stunning nature! Everything was just perfect for me.

Despite all the trips, the happiest thing that happened last month was that I finally bought my 60D!!
Another step closer to my dream!! My very first DSLR. Was thinking about it day and night after Mei Yi bought it for me. Still waiting for the camera to be delivered from Malaysia! I want my baby desperately!! Teehee! =D

Talking about dreams and life, I met a captain on the flight to Canada. We were so lucky to get a seat on the First Class to Canada, and I was seated next to one of our airline's captain. One thing I enjoy talking and listening to elder people is that they have so many experiences to talk about that mesmerized me. They have been through so many ups and downs, they fall and they learned and they succeed. And this captain, he has been through the same thing as I've gone through. I told him how I ended up working in the airline and he told me he experienced the same thing. He was major in Economy during his university time. He knew that that was not what he wants in his life, and one day, he saw the advertisement in the newspaper regarding the pilot's course, he took the U-turn straight without looking back. I hope someday I could tell my experience to someone when I finally achieve what I'm striking for. Fingers crossed! =] Anyway, as i said, I'm one step closer to my dream!!

As usual, I say, life is really short, just do whatever you want to do, decide and move on.

Cheers!!

Going to sleep for tomorrow's flight! NYC here I come! Time to do some shopping for families! 把钱花光,为国争光！=P

Have an awesome Wednesday!!

My State of Mind

Happie!! It's my current state of mind.

I want to remember this kind of feeling even after years have pass, so I decided to jot down here in my little space.

Just had an awesome flight yesterday, and I laughed all the way during the flight. Felt great to have a clique with the crew you are flying with, it makes the long hours passed like a snap of fingers, just like that.

A big smile, plus a warm hug and a friendly handshake, those make the day become brighter and those stingy passengers become sweeter! HA!

Was about to blog something about my trip to Rome, next post perhaps!

Gonna end this post by my all-time favorite quote,

 Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain!

Too bad, there is no rain in Jordan!

Have a great Tuesday!!

See You When I See You

Oops!! We're not going to Santorini for the coming days off. Next year perhaps~ Just Athens this time round.
So Santorini, see you when I see you next year!! ;))

Off to London tomorrow, finally, after ages.


Have a beautiful Saturday!!

Time waits for no man

Phew! Time has been slipping through my fingers. Just a blink of an eye, August is already here! I've spent half of the summer on flying, eating, sleeping and exploring places to places on internet. And, I'm up to this lately.

I'm never a luxurious traveler, always go on a trip on optimum budget with maximum exploration to the places I visit. So, I walk a lot, to see a place. Not everyone could bears this sort of exploration I'm up to. Even Ahmeng. :P So, I won't mind if I'm travelling in solo. Sometimes, it's rather relaxing to travel alone because you don't have to take care of and accommodate the needs of your companion.

Traveling is FUN!     

And I'm just plain thankful that I get to travel around like I always wanted to. 

And there is still a list of things to do for myself, other than traveling. Never forget the ultimate dream of mine~So I must never stop trying and dreaming. So as you. ;)

Have a lovely Friday!

The July

I've been flying and busy lately and didn't realize that I haven't post a blog for quite awhile. Well, everytime when   I logged into my dashboard, the only thing that I did was browsing others' blogs. And when I have time, I googled about our trip to Rome. It makes my adrenalin rushed and by doing research for the place we are heading for holiday raised the anticipation to that whole trip. That was why I was occupied when I was free at home. ROME ROME ROME.

Besides doing the homework for the Rome thingy, I did some price comparisons for my baby too. I'm buying Canon 60D!! For myself, as my birthday pressie! I wish I have the gut to just drop by the shop and say, Okie, I'm taking this one! Please wrap it up for me! and go~ Yea, I wish I have the gut.

Soon, very soon. Canon 60D.

Here is one of my favorite photos from the trip to Rome.

In front of the Pantheon. 

Have an awesome Thursday!!

9th of July, 2011

It's a day to be remembered. 

For you and I both.

Relationship.It's really not as easy as I thought it would be.

有沒有那麼一張書籤 停止那一天，

最單純的笑臉和 最美那一年，

書包裡面裝滿了蛋糕和汽水，

雙眼只有無猜和無邪， 讓我們無法無天。

Good things in Life

It's summer! It's a work-my-ass-off season. I have been flying for like everyday. But I like it that way. Tell you what, the flight attendants in my house are so different from the flight attendant out there. We love flying crazily. Because flying = earning. Money faces. *ka-ching*

Cannot help myself but locked myself away again in my own world. After all those flights, I just want to disconnect myself from the world, and do whatever I want. Like, watch movies. Strolling in other people's stories. Laugh and cry on their stories. Find some inspirations from those movies.Well,  I've watched really really awesome movies lately. Mostly based on true stories. There are really bunch of great people with great heart out there. Don't give up on whatever you are doing. There is always wonderful side of story behind the gloomy side. Just keep the faith and don't loose hope!

Great movies are meant to be shared.
And here you go.

The Blind Side.

A lady with a big heart gives the boy a bed, shirts, life, love, family, simple things as we can name them, that he never thought he's going to have in his life. 

This taught me, to give.

The Invictus.

Nelson Mandela. He came in in the darkest era of the country, after imprisonment of  30 years, he was ready to forgive all those people that put him into the prison. He sees what people don't see. He believe in what people don't believe in during the hard time. He stand up for what he believes in it. And the most important thing, he look at everyone the same. Black or white, we are in one big family.

This taught me, to forgive.

The Fighter.

Life isn't always goes like we planned of.  We think we can be something, but obstacles get in our way. Only ourselves can make things right. If there is a will, there is a way, it's an old quote, but it's gold. 

This movie is all about brothers got through the most depressing moments in their life, misunderstanding, conflicts. But they make it through by love. Brother is always the brother, no matter he is a drug addict or something. 

This taught me, family never gives up on people you love, and the power of love.

Front of the Class.

People look at him differently because he is sick. Even his own father.

He made the sickness the best teacher for himself.

He met great people because of his sickness.

And the disease doesn't stop him from pursuing what he wants the most in his life.

This taught me to be optimistic and stubborn in a good way.

Here I present you the 

Rango!!

A hero in disguise.

Everyone need to have something, someone to believe in.

This is not a true story of course. But who knows, there might be some random lizard out there being hero for all other animals. :P

Have a good and deep laugh of this. Deep as in 有深度, it's quite a deep anime after all.

Have a hooray Friday peep!
