My Ruined Cheesecake

Thought of baking a nice banana cheesecake just like this photo but after steps of mixing, preparing and baking...it turns out a very messy cake...it's ruined and all my efforts have been wasted including the ingredients....a waste of time, effort and money...I rather buy instantly and enjoy the delicious slice of cheesecake with my favourite cup of tea.No more baking cakes that are too advance for me...Sigh.

Horse Carriage

Took this shot instantly on a boring night...at the heartland mall.

Nursery Garden

Had a great time with mum on a hot sunny noon at the nursery garden.We bought a potted hanging plant for our home and I enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.

Victoria street

Never expected that Victoria Street will be my new work environment for 2010.What a relieved after many job interviews that I turned down due to a personal reason, finally this is the right one that meets my needs in life.Love this scenery over a glass window panel, admiring the rain and shine in the city.

Admiralty Link

Took this shot on the carpark in Admiralty Link Building.It's an eye-opener for me when everytime I went for job interviews.

Singapore Polytechnic

What an exhausted day for me..went for an interview at Singapore Polytechnic Graduate's Guild but end up doing a work out instead.I was lost and enter the wrong gate...suppose to be Gate4 but I was walking towards the wrong route...the school campus is indeed wide....exhausted...I ever dreamt that I roamed about on this place ''up and down''...never expected in reality I'm doing the same too..it's incredible...AMAZING...my dream is true.):

An Evening Workout

A workout with mum at the neighbourhood fitness corner was indeed a new experienced for me.My first try with the machine is quite a stiff but after a few minutes my body is adjusting well and I speed up eventually.Captured this shot while resting at the nearby bench, listening to birds chirping and admiring the view of my hometown.

My Cooking Frenzy

Over the weekends had fun with cooking and baking...whipped up sardine roll and cookie....absolutely delicious....give it a try!

Job Conference 4 Feb 2010

Snapped away this scenic shot while waiting for the conference to start.
The view was excellent but too bad I did not carry my digital camera...so the shot was taken with my Nokia handphone instead...not sharp enough but love the view facing the sea...and cargo ships....how nice will it be to work at a high-rise building facing the sea....love the relaxation scenery while working under pressure.

My Green Fingers

Another way to relax over the weekend is gardening...admire the nature is certainly a must!

Weekend Pleasure

Over the weekend..whipped up banana fritters...have a cup of my favorite Lipton tea with a good book...a simple pleasure of life...relax,recharge and rejuvenate.):

My Treasures

The treasures that I've kept for a decade but discarded it away this year due to storage space in my room.Still have plenty more that reminds me of the past...some are gifts from friends where I have long lost contact with them.Maybe it's the time for me to get rid of the clutters and move on with my future...forget the past....although it do stays in my heart forever.):
