Traveling!

For every break after each long semesters, I will be looking forward to having a holidays overseas. It allows me to have an insight into other country's peoples culture, their way of life and gain more knowledge and become more independent. I have been to Hong Kong, Sarawak, Bangkok, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia so far and hopes to visit more exotic places in the future! I loved Australia in particular as the climate is cooler, with beautiful sceneries and temperate forestry that I am unable to see in any Asian countries. Despite I like to travel, I normally don't have parental subsidies like what the majority of you expect. I will save as much as I could and plan well in advance the countries that I would like to visit. Currently I am looking forward to a trip to Langkawi during the term break if my schedule permits. By the end of this semester, I might probably travel to Sydney or Auckland, can't wait till that moment arrives!

Aviation & Rocketry

Personally I have interest in commercial aircrafts as well as space flight. I read up and also draw a lot about them when I am free. I am fascinated by airplanes since I was a young boy. I often build planes using Lego blocks when I was a kid but later went into plane modeling when I was older. I also built rocket models by using any stuffs or tubing that I can lay my hands on. My room is filled up with models and scraps literally! My grandmother would always ask me to sleep early when I stay up late to finish those models as they are extremely delicate and time consuming to construct, she will always be around my side. She will always marvel at my latest creation which I have appreciated so much. After her death, which is the saddest moment in my life, I have decided to complete my last piece of work and save keep the rest. Today those models stills reminds me of the person that I have missed so much. Nevertheless, my interest in them are still very strong maybe that I have grown up so I have gone off to do other things. Eventually I hoped one day I can get a chance to visit United States and witness the launch of the space shuttle!

Exercising

As for as my level of fitness, I considered myself average. I work out during weekdays and jog for a least once every week. A healthy body means a healthy mind. Exercising helps me to improve my balance, muscular strength, and can also relieve stress and anxiety resulted from everyday life. In so many ways, exercising can improve your physical and mental health, no matter what your age. Often, if my schedule allows, I will try to work out during the afternoon or during the early evening period. However as for jogging, I normally start during the late evening time or in the early wee hours of the day, in order to escape from the sun's scorching heat! Taking up exercise also does not mean you must spent a fortune on sportswear. For jogging or gym all I need was a good pair of running shoes, and comfortable clothing that is suitable for the weather. However sticking to a regular exercise routine can be a challenge. It is especially tough when you are feeling exhausted after a hard days work. Therefore in order for me to remain committed, I motivate myself by planned my schedule ahead of time, setting small fitness goals and also take a break on weekends to pamper myself!

Reading

I also like to read and draw at times. I loved to visit MPH, Borders and also the Kinokuniya Bookstores during my leisure hours. The Kinokuniya Bookstore located at Takashimaya Shopping Centre, is one of the largest bookstore in South East Asia. Looking for the latest quality books, magazines or comics? Books ranging from fiction, non-fiction, fashion, science, computer, health, business or many more are all there and are free for browsing! The are so many varieties of books there that always keep me occupied for hours at least. Another place where I also frequently visit for books is the Borders Bookstore at WheeLock's Place. The place is also wonderful and is a just stone throw away from Takashimaya. There are also plenty of cafes like Coffee Express, Starbucks within the enclosure of the bookstore. This enables me to savor a soothing combo of vanilla, steamed milk and whipped cream while reading my favourite book. At times, various authors will also come and promote their books, so do not forget to grab their autographs!

Shopping

Looks like shopping is not a girl's passion but also a guy's one. Orchard Road is the area where high class hotels predominate. It is also the domain of Singapore's elite, who are lured by the the night clubs, restaurants, bars, lounges and shopping centres. Down at Orchard road, the premier shopping district of Singapore is also where I often like to go to. With the numerous shopping centres stretching all the way from Orchard Road to Raffles City, Suntec City and to Marina Square, I can shop till I am weak on my knees! Nevertheless, I am not a spendthrift. I just prefer do window shopping most of the time. By visiting one departmental store after another, I can compare their product prices and if I am lucky I might also come across huge sales or discounts too!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Back to top

Music

Well as a matter of fact I also like to listen to music when I am doing homework, bored or even sad...... I liked to sing too and will often karaoke with my sister and with my friends. Even if I am upset I still do sing cause I feel better after that! Weird isn't it? I like songs especially those from Sun Yanzi and The Corrs. Others from Jay Chou, Michael Learns to Rock, Britney Spears, Nsync, Backstreet Boys are also fine with me. Techno is okay, however I dislike heavy metal music, and also Japanese and Korean ones cause I do not understand what they are singing about. I normally hunt for CDs in either HMV at Heeren near Orchard Road or at Tower Records in Suntec City. They is a wide varieties of music CDs, VCDs and also DVDs for you to chose from. Furthermore, I can also get to preview and listen to the latest songs or watch the latest MTVs there.

Computer

Lastly, if I am lazy to leave my house or if I wish to laze around at home. I will definitely be surfing the net or playing computer games! The internet provided me with a lot of convenience, whether it is searching information for projects, surfing for movies or for news etc. The internet allows me to access to the latest information, or news right at the comfort of my cozy home. I no longer spent long hours on transport to reach the library. I can also kill time by playing computer games, which can keep me glued to the screen for hours at hand. KaZaA also enables me to download either music clips or video clips, which I loved so much. Having a computer at home is a must for me, by the way thank god that the days where my computer clashes is over. Plew!
