It's funny how I can no longer rant as much as I could in my blog like 10 years ago

Yes, I started blogging at 18

When I looked at my old blog entries

I laughed

They were so funny

Laughed at what I did

Laughed at what my friends did to me

Laughed at how funny my narrations were

Laughed at how bad my English was

These funny stocks can no loner be found in my current new blog

Not exactly new

But I ended my 'Le Monde Perdu Sans Retour' after I left the plane back Singapore

Basically

That blog described my 3 years of life in Hong Kong, & slightly some in Singapore before I left for my Uni

Blogger seems to have remove my archives, which means none can read how stupid I was

It still has my last 5 blog entries to 'hold' the blog

Abit disappointed that my memories were gone

But it's ok

Thinking back

It was just some young girl stupid rantings that probably hurt someone without senses

I hereby apologise

This 'Simple Mind, Complicated thoughts' blog is made once I reached Singapore

& I havent been a good one since  then

While social media now spreads like wild fire

There're alot of things that I have to say with care

& while my life is not so much influenced by the society

& mainly focused with traveling & diving

I guess no one probably reads about my trips since every entry will be the same

& thus I got too lazy to blog ever

 Just some random photos to illustrate

For 'a picture speaks a thousand words'

It did my job

I could probably abandon this, in time to come

But undecided

Then again, maybe I can keep this open in case I needa rant anytime

I hope there're people reading!

Hi!

Sorry

havent been blogging

Life has become abit dull lately

Other than some late night cries over some sad issues

I guess basically I'm still surviving alright

Thanks to those who showed concern to me after they read my rants in Twitter

Thanks for remembering me & asking

I'll smile more now ;)

Gorgeous sunny Friday
How about adding the 1km swim?
That's a totally perfect lifestyle!!

:)

Maybe because I'm embarking a new life

I'm seeing things very open now

At the same time

I just hope things go as I wished & planned

I just returned from Pulau Redang for my annual dive trip

Everything was fun

Love the sun, the sand & the water

i am reading this book & it is inspiring me to do a backpack trip
maybe a short one for the start
anyone's keen?

Last week was pretty busy

However, it was not of personal causes

Dardar's cousin & his family visited HK over the week

& we were tasked to take care of their dogs while they were away

These 2 poms were really playful

They jumped onto us when they see us

 & wanted to lick us so much

To satisfy their needs as a canine

I succumbed to their TLC towards humans

& let them 'have' me for 10 minutes every day

Leaving me sticky with their saliva all over my body

 

 

Over the weekend

DarDar went for his fishing trip with his friends to Tanjong Pinang, Indonesia

I was left alone to take care of the dogs

Meanwhile

I was helping my friend to do her fieldwork in the mangrove

So the dogs were pretty much on their own for the day 

Seriously

It had been a really long time that I last went out to the field

To the nature, to be precise

My outdoor research stopped last September

& i was really itching to get out to breathe some natural air

 

Nonetheless

I was glad that i was being able to help

& at the same time

Loosen myself up from the continuous mad thesis-writing

Just one more month for me to submit my first draft

Another 2 months of ding-dong-ing

& I can graduate finally!!

I cant waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt to take a break

Before I land myself to employment where freedom is least expected

Photos of my Langkawi trip are up!

I visited Langkawi 10 years ago
This time, I'm back with DarDar
& brought him for a short trip

Things hadnt changed much, seriously
Still pretty dull as before
But this time round
We had more money
So we feasted on seafood
Which only got us overdosed with marine toxin
& suffered from food intoxication a day after we returned Singapore
LOL!!!

We had so much fun that  we were really exhausted at the end of everyday
Overall
Both of us enjoyed the trip & companion

You have to watch this
We're uniting to stop the world's #1 criminal

i want to do a tattoo

have my tibetan inked 

so it can remind me of my given talents

also to inflict pain to wake me up from crushing waves of emotions

this may sound silly

but i think my reason for getting it is more appropriate than anyone wanting to do a tattoo for fun

up on the emotional roller coaster once again

this is how i eat my medicine

Do you know how it feels to be floating on the water surface surviving from clashing waves but not knowing where to go ashore?

I am having this feeling

All the time

I just received a message from an Australian friend

She asked if I'm done with my PhD

& she is eager to read my publications

I was touched

Knowing that, actually someone is anticipating it!

But at the same time

It is disappointing because my probably 1st paper had been rejected

& I have not been getting help to properly come out with a perfect one

Although I feel proud of my research

I feel loseric because I am not able to present myself as  I should be in the real scientific society

Why do some people's manuscript get published with ease?

But I have obstacles all the time?

It really saddens me

Demoralises me

What should I really do?

Man

I'm so sick of my work now

Having doing the same thing for almost 5 years isnt as easy as one thinks

Things just get more complicated as you think more about it

Like my title says

Simple mind, complicated thoughts
