Learning To Breathe
1:14 AMWhat makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way
that I say that I need You
This is the way
This is the way
That I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how ya been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never thought I could fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
IPhone
8:08 PMSo no motorbike lessons, no buying of bikes, no holidays, no more owing credit card bills, and… finally!
The iphone is mine!
Im in the office, slammed with 3 new projects to share among, originally 4, and now help arrived, so 6. Which is not too bad! And I have 2 ongoing projects starting up with 2 old projects in the coordination stages.
Now Im so tied up with all 3 phases of construction and design and I still have to help others! I know I should feel good to be able to help, but I’m beyond tired..
My iphone comes on hopefully, Tuesday morning, delivered to my office. black 16GB 3GS. With horizontal keypad so my fat fingers can finally operate the phone. All in all, I paid 288 for the phone for a 2 year contract with 55 per month of data/voice. That’s not too bad isn’t it?! well, I still need to use my existing starhub line for 7 months with the iphone. After dropping all the value added services, it comes up to 25 a month. I mean I can afford it. So I would say this new iphone cost me 463. And I get a a lot of other perks and value added services free for a year from singtel. Rocks my world!
P.S. my new number is 92977546. same as the extension number in the office. haha!

Job thrills
11:00 PMSwitzerland took my breath away. We lived the life of the rich and famous at hotels that charged 1000 a night for a standard room. Every meal was fine dining, and costs 100 per pax. Visited 9 hotels and 4 were 'Leading Hotels of the World'. I had all the hotel staff remember my name and I even had a rose upon arrival! Hotels so high class I could never afford. They even lend laptops to guests. A chauffer with a maserati was provided by the hotel for visitors to the bar who had too much to drink. I liked how pets were allowed. It felt like home.
Work has never been so fun, and tiring. Flew 26 hours and rode 700km to zurich, interlaken, grindalwald, gstaad, sorennberg.
I constantly recognise God's blessings He has bestowed on me through HBA. I had been given chances to work with top designers and my bosses acknowledge me. Travelling with colleagues is always fun because you finally make friends. the guy whom I used to think of as, "cute, obnoxious, dictative, ruthless, experienced designer" can get tired, laughs tears, care, considers my views, makes mistakes, play, sleep, complain like a kid, and is still the cutest guy in the office. Hah! Next stop... China, In 7 days.
The biggest subway in the world!
8:05 PMI was surprised when i walk thru the construction of the subway with aid of a documentary. The team faced obstacles with the tunnelling from the beginning to the end. They also designed stations after hundreds of hours of observing humans. Afterall, Beijingers are the fastest walkers in China!
Beijing subway has some of the coolest stations in the world. Stations were themed to the area it serves above ground. For example, stations on line 4 serving the olympics stadium, have ultra modern designs, whilst stations on another line serving ancient monuments carry a more serious tone.
I never knew moving the fare gantries by 5m would had such a big impact during the rush hours. Trains in singapore, and other cities have a lapse of 3 minutes on average. Trains in beijing? 35 seconds! Wow.. Truly chinese, truly massive, truly impressive.
