On Saturday the 9th of February I was on top of the world.
Literally.

Went down to Edinburgh with my secondary school friend Louisa with the plan to scale to the very heights of Arthur's seat.

Arthur's seat is a hill.....or so they say.
Climbing to its peak means you get to see a fantastic aerial view of Edinburgh, the sea, and the highlands from afar.

I've always had an afinity for nature and specatacular views...so if it means me risking my life to get that one particular shot that captures that essence of the moment and the beauty of the scenery before me....I'll do it.

said like a budding photographer eh....

But yes....you noe the old speel.....photos are special in that they freeze that time, space and moment so that hopefully, when we next see it, we may be brought back to that time, that moment that feeling that we had when we were there living, breathing and living that moment.

Memories are important. Memories that we keep in our heart and minds may be the ones that we treasure the most. But in this day and age where stress and unhappiness surrounds us, perhaps being able to relive that one moment in time, if not for ourselves, but for those around us may be in itself our chance for salvation, the balm for the wound, the key to moving on.

SO on that note....please enjoy the special selection i've put up for you my dear friends....

With the Sun and God as my guide

On top of the world...

Hello! hello!
The new year is here! In all actuality, 2 new years have come!
Happy new year to one and all! and
Happy Chinese New year to all my yellow skinned compatriots!

2008.
It's my year. Not just because it's the year of the ingenious and mysterious rat.
but because I have to own it.

Yes....I have to OWN this year!

For those of you who don't get it. That means that I have to grasp this year firmly by the reins.
And achieve what I've set out to do.
Because, yes my friends, it's a crucial year.

This is the year where I have to cram 4 years worth of 'medical stuff' into my neuron filled collection bag happily residing in my skull and hopefully be able to magically pull bits of information out of it when I sit for my theory finals in june.

Yes.......despite all the self encouragment and determination I'm trying to muster....
I'm still have a few personal demons to fight.

Yes yes....they might be shared demons amongst us all.

Commonly known as : LAZINESS, PROCRASTINATION, OVER CONFIDENCE, STUPIDITY, and DAYDREAMING.......

Hell, everything around me seems more appealing than opening my textbooks or flipping through my folders of notes.

Oh well.....I have to be firm. I have to be strong. I probably will end up having to smash my laptop.

Oh well.....since this is an update after a very VERY loooooong time.....I'll juz put up some photos of my recent happenings in the past month.....

A picture speaks a thousand words......because it captures that special moment where your soul comes into light and your heart speaks what you could never eloquently put into words.
