Aftershock of SzeChuan Earthquake

Just 10 minutes ago, the live telecast to raise donations for the SzeChuan Earthquake ended. Watching the pictures of the earthquake, the aftermath, the orphans really make me feel touched.
It wasn't anything extreme, it was just a singing performance to raise the amount. And I was really glad that they managed to raise more than 6 million by the end of the show. The most touching part of the show was the mother's love for her 3-4months old baby. It was really saddening to know that the baby will never get to know his mother personally, but only through a phone message that has her love in it. And to that mum, my greatest respect.
Although it was just a 3 hour telecast, it managed to play its message across. With this show, I feel more and more for the sufferers of this natural disaster and I really hope that the survivors will walk out of this darkness soon. My deepest condolences to them.

A Short getaway

Yo! Ever since i started work a week plus ago, i have been too busy to do things I wanted to do. Shucks. But i have been enjoying work so far, at least I hope i did. *hmmm*.. There is still some sense of uncertainty about this job but so far everything is going well....

Over last weekend, went to bintan with family for a short getaway!! The views are fantastic, and tadaaaa.. below are some of the pictures that I took while I was there..

Oh i love the colour contrast in the sky... prettyyyy... and the beach looks pretty too.. wonderful...
Look! This is one of the pretty shell-like stuff that I found on the beach. It has a very distinct flower shape. And almost every shell there is like this! with this distinct flower. interesting hehhh... I tried to bring it back to the resort but somehow it crushed in my pocket... *shruggs*

A Pretty view of the pool at the resort area. Honestly, it has a really wonderful ambience. And when you lie on one of those beach chairs, it is so breeeezyyy!!
Another vieww of the resort =)

Honestly, the stay was wonderful, however the food is not as great. *shakes head* Ooo and i had a massage there! It was quite nice and relaxingg... And i chanced upon this magazine showing Miniloc Island of Philippines. IT IS VERYYY PRETTY!!!! I wanna go there one dayy. maybe 5 years in the future? Cz one night stay for 1 person is 400 sin dollar (minimum) and nooooooo i don't have that luxury for now.

Didn't put any of my pictures in this entry cz i look totally awful! I think i am growing too fat. need more exercise. *ROARRRR* must be the after effects of exams..

CONGRATS!

A big CONGRATS to myself for completing 3 years of univerisity life. =)
ANOTHER big congrats for finding a job =)
BUT a BIG slap on the face for beginning work the day AFTER exams end. =(

Spent a really nice day out with my friends, xiaoqian and charissa, after exam ended yesterday. We had our lunch at Hogsbreath Cafe, which was ok but not really that fantastic as people make it out to be. Oh well, at least we filled our tummy =) Spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the place before we went off to do our own separate stuff.

And for today, it was the first day of work! I will say that there is alot of things to do, but I didn't manage to find that much things to do. Hahhx. Went on a site inspection with my boss, and it was quite interesting to see how bad a building can turn into with age. And learnt alot about buildings, what to look out for, some laws for the buildings, etc. It feels like school all over againnn.. hahhh... let's hope tml will be a better day =)
