A Sneak Preview?

I know it has been eons...and it is way overdue...but hey, better late then never, right? Don't ask me why I took this particular shot; I like to take pictures that are framed..by something there, but somehow, they never turn out pretty, or even remotely decent. This is the ONLY one that could pass muster...





















I think I was trying to take a picture of it WITHOUT the tourists, but those people just lingered there and refused to move...sighz...

The one below shows one of the spires from one of the buildings surrounding the Emerald Buddha located near the Grand Palace.
Just love the contrast between the gleaming golden spire...and the azure blue sky.
Somehow, the blueness of the sky there is just so different - so much more intense...or could it be due to the pollution, or the fact that it was a SWELTERING hot day?

A shot of the Grand Palace, taken through a 'frame' made by the well-manicured branches and trees that dot the palace grounds.

It's a rough shot, I'd admit, and even seems slightly off balance, but I like that the incredibly ROUND tufts of leaves were framing the picture - interesting twist..




Sorry, have never been one who is patient uploading pictures and explaining them.

That's gonna be all for now...

I Miss...

I miss being able to breathe in fresh, cool air when I jog (which is once in a blue moon)...

I miss vegging out in front of tv after work, and not having to worry about my never-ending "Things to do" lists...

I miss my discipline and determination to jog at least 2 km everyday... (yes, it has been 5 years)

I miss my first pet hamster - Ham Ham (cheesy name, I know, but hey, she responded to it)

I miss waking up late and being able to call in sick...

I miss my weekends when I could just wander around aimlessly ...

I miss reading the Sunday Times from page to page...

I miss watching my favourite shows on TV (when they are showing; now I just use my DVR to save time by skipping all the commercials)

I miss being able to go where I want, when I want...

I miss being able to call it a day just because I am not up to it...

I miss being able to take leave just to run errands, cut my hair, do mani & pedi on a weekday...

I miss having 2-hour long lunches (heck, I don't even have time for a proper lunch now)...

I miss being able to hang out with friends or colleagues after work at some hip yuppie place (read - NEW ASIA BAR)

I miss being able to stone (whenever I am commuting)...

I miss having enough sleep...

Lastly, I miss time being alone with me...
