Shazia 1Aug 07 Shazia Aug 07

I was happy to see a photo of Shazia from Jahan's July-Aug distribution photos yday. She looks well and with her mum by her side, she looks taken care of. I am present to the fact that through my sponsorship she is able to have an education and not be roaming the streets.

Would like to invite you to partake in Jahan's program of helping children inside Afghanistan find their way toward self-sufficiency. Click on this link to see the kids waiting in line for sponsors and an education.You can make a difference in their lives.

i missed europe alot, my trip back to stlm was a dream reunion of all sorts, from fredrik and johana's wedding, to seeing pple whom i love and missed alot, and those familiar and hangouts of where i used to go in stlm, it was like almost that i have never left to have the same pple with me at my fave joints, yet inside myself, i know that things have changed and pple too. But stlm has always been the place that I found peace, tranquility with myself and it will forever be my place to find myself should i be lost or need to seek refuge :)

turning 27...i used to think pple who say the age is just a number are just deceiving themselves of how old they really are, now I am beginning to think otherwise, maybe its because i am a part of that turning 30s gang where all my hair will slowly fall out ( seems more so for the guys) and am in the denial stage or maybe I have really seen through the age= youth, what you can and can not do, the age to wake up to be responsible and do adult things like buying hses etc is just a myth. took me some time but i have to say I am happy to be 27 and happy to be alive. Photo taken with my family celebrating my bday. I had a great bday celebration back in Stlm as well with my close friends, thank you for that!

Friends leaving... after 5 years Cecilia Tam, one of the longest running ex trainee has left our sunny isle. Before that Jessica Tsai left as well, both my dear asian aiesec ex mcps, both dear friends that I have known since my aiesec days, and how our relationships took a turn when they came to Singapore to work then our friendships cultivated to a more stable day to day one and then they leave to pursue their lives. Ceci I still remember when she first came and started the whole DHL Singapore network which is now bursting with trainees currently, while I was mcp, that seems like a long way back my dear.how much we have changed since then. :)Photos are from our girls farewell weekend from sentosa where we rented a room and partied in sentosa, it was an eating non stop weekend fiesta allright :) LITERALLY! :) Jess and Ceci, I missed you already!

dust

Never knew how much space my laptop takes up of my table, only when i brought it downstairs so that my dad can try to link it to the scanner, i see a faint greyish, dusty rectangular mark in the place of the usual humming machine that i have

Guess I just read books, wrote stuff when I didnt have a laptop back then...doing more constructive and self development thingie rather than wasting my time on addictive facebook...

Going to the chapel and we'll

Chau and Rikka

going to get married..Going to the chapel and we'll going to get married

My dear Finnish Vietnamese friend Mr Lam Ngoc Chau left 2 weeks ago to go back to Finland to marry his better half Rikka :) Guess how time flies that he has stayed in Singapore for 2 years and about 6-7 years ago was when I first met him, when he was here in Singapore as well for a company traineeship and hung out AIESEC trainees in Singapore back then like Sandy, Grace, Jenny back then. GD grief thats long man...

Will miss you Chauie and have a great wedding with Rikka in Aug!

Cant believe

that I am finally going back to Stockholm next week for a well deserved holiday.:)

Stlm skyline

Didnt realise how much I missed the place till I looked at the website on what new happenings are there, they have a great tourist site btw

Will be meeting Viv, Rajat, Gokce, Nisarg, Ira, Ana, Aloke,and the whole gang for Fredrik & Johana's wedding. Got increasingly excited as I started planning my holiday trip in my trusty excel sheet ( yes I am anal). I was so excited that I called my fren in Taiwan that I told him I was going! and reconnected with him after a year long of non communication and found out that he was going to get married end of the year...:) Texted Rajat in London, called Viv in Canada, and chatted with Ana and found that she is attached, gosh the world is really evolving and not standing still, so many "new" developments happening to the pple I know.

I will also spend 2 days in London where I will meet up with Lizhen,Dimi,Rajiv, Rajat, Emma, Heather, Adrian etc as well, I have no idea how many pple I know are in London...amazing

So if you are in Stockholm from:7-21 July, London from 17-19th July, we might bump into each other.;)

Everyone is going to die one day

One of my friend's dad just had a heart attack and another one just passed away due to cancer.

How fragile life is, the true impact of it will never hit us till we have the 1st hand experience I fear.

Everyone is going to die one day.

Would you live your life differently had you know that your last day is near?

under the weather

a day of sleeping, sweating under the blankets, self medication, eating the same duck porridge from lunch to dinner, how cheap my meal is my mum commented

started with the sore throat now the flu

tried the gurgling with salt water idea from my boss for the 1st time in my life, not too bad i always imagine that it would be like drinking sea water when you are kinda drowning.

back to zzz land ago right after i pop these pills, the beige and the red pill.
