Footprints

Jotting down my footprints around the world, and my thoughts inspired by the new energy of each city

MBS Singapore night view

March 24th, 2019 Singapore
Pan Pacific Singapore
Lunch @ Chatterbox, Mandarin Orchard
Dinner @ CÉ LA VI

PS: Adapting to the wide stride length of walking and place hopping, practicing not to doze off during day time after a hectic schedule, calming myself down even having piled up assignments and unlimited emails, trying not to get upset when things do not go well, coping with everything new.



Xiangshan Trail night view

March 26th, 2019 Taiwan
Night walk @ Raohe Night Market
Walk @ Xiangshan Trail

PS: Amazed by the kindness and sweetness of the people. "If you can't meet one be one."



Vivid Sydney view from Cafe Sydney, I'm lucky!

May 20th, 2019 Australia

Dinner @ Cafe Sydney
Circular Quay railway station

PS: Infatuation is not love. "The truth is the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you'll see their flaws. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don't last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they're out of money or under pressure or hungry. Love is something different. Love is choosing to be with someone and help them support them encourage them in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. It is seeing the darkness in another person, and defying the impulse to jump ship."



Gent is always sweet

June 10th, 2019 Belgium
How to go to Gent: Kuala Lumpur (KUL) - Abu Dhabi (AUH) - Brussel (BRU) - go down to Brussel Zaventem train station - 1 transit at Brussel Centraal train station - Gent Sint Pieters train station - taxi to the final destination
How to go to Brugge/Bruges from Gent: Walk to Gent Gravensteen bus stop hop on to Tram 1 to get to Gent Sint Pieters station - take a train to Oostende direction and stop at Bruges, it should only take 30-45 minutes

PS: Stay humble. Be open-minded. Be confident.
PS: Gent and Bruges are beautiful Flanders. I can picture us. Not sure which 'us', but just 'us'.

Taj Santacruz Hotel

July 29th, 2019 India
KUL - Mumbai - Delhi - Chandigarh - Delhi - KUL

Dinner @ CinCin

Novotel New Delhi Aerocity

PS: 4 flights in 5 days, 4 hours of sleep every day, unexpected road and traffic in India... suffocated, failed health, lessons learned.
PS: Trust but verify. “Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.” The importance of non-disclosure thoughts cannot be neglected in certain environment. Always remember to be mindful.

Event - Vitafoods Asia 2019
Lunch @ Sen of Japan
Dinner @ Rise
Dinner @ CÉ LA VI

PS: You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Then you can concentrate on the things that are really important. Setting boundaries is healthy. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself. Leave self-pity and low self-worth behind. Trust your faith has the power to turn trauma into healing, conflict into growth, and fear into love.
If I'm wrong. Educate me. Don't belittle me.
