poetry excerpt

Virginia Woolf in the introduction of her poetry novel, The Waves, states that 'poetry is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality', and that 'the more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates'.

free air ticket to taipei and back to sg...

okiez.. its not totally free... just checking out the rewards that a few credit cards are offering...
you gotta spend about $5/- to get 2 Krisflyer miles.
For destinations such as taipei / taiwan and back to singapore (2 way) it costs about 30, 000 miles. which is about an expenditure of SGD75, 000 just to get the free ticket and that is just for 1 pax. amazingly.. lolz. =P

oh well that is for people with high spending power.

of pasta and pizza~*

it has been a long time since we have gathered... honestly.. i am happy and glad to be with u all...
had a small celebration for jacqueline whose birthday falls on the 9 july. we were at modesto (vivo city) to have dinner and the pizza, pasta was delicious~* took quite a few photos also.. =)
there was a phrase that xuan mentioned that evening which was told by dennis,

" the older u get, the circle of friends you have get smaller"

simple yet true. Although we may age and the people we know increases, the circle of friends and those that we hold dear to decreases. Through it all, I am glad that 7 years since graduation in jurongville secondary school, I am still able to be able to laugh and dine together with you. Thank you.
