when i read today's article in the new paper about NUS students getting expelled from their halls due to doing a naked streak, the first thought that came to my mind was how uptight singaporeans are.

some time back, there was another article about a couple who paraded around holland village, naked, and got charged.

i don't understand why do we view nakedness as something so shameful or get disgusted by it? weren't we all born into this world naked? shouldn't the body should be embraced as it is and not be shunned nor disgusted unless displays of sexual acts are committed? then that will be offending.

and about the china artist who used his daughter's body for his paintings, i think the drawings are beautiful - a true expression of art and it portrayed her like a goddess, how he wanted it to be. there were no sexual connotations to the paintings so take a chill pill.

loosen up people... it's time to love and embrace your body in its nakedness. then perhaps body issues won't be such an issue anymore. 

i'm thankful for the friends that i have, friends that standby and support me when i am down.

i sat in a really old school SMRT bus on saturday... it's the same one i used to take with my grandparents when i was a kid; where they had the conductor to come and punch your bus ticket as you handed him the money. it was definitely a nostalgic moment while on the way home.

sleepy, my neighbour's stray adopted cat caught a mouse on sunday and left it along the staircase. the mouse looked more like it was sound asleep than dead. then i saw a dead bird with its guts spilling out as i walking to work this morning. what's up with seeing dead animals two days in a row.

i'm not pious or religious but in times of uncertainty and despair, i really have to thank God for being the peace that guards my heart. i couldn't have felt this way if not for Him and i'm really thankful that God is ever faithful and He has never forsaken me.

i hope things look up this week and even if it doesn't, i must learn that many things are beyond my control and always look to the positive side of things.

and i think my camera is spoilt cos i can't switch it on! argh!

i read on canon website to take one photo everyday for a year so you make a yearly album as a memory of that year. i didn't know what to snap, so i thought of taking a photo of myself everyday. very narcissistic i know but i might not keep this up for long.

this is what i wore to work on wednesday (7 jan).

 

i think i shall start blogging again... maybe not everyday but blog more often than before even though not many people read my blog.

i want to start blogging about places i've been to, to eat or have drinks. but i am not going to be a typical reviewer cos i'm too lazy to do all that jazz.

just some photos, some of my personal experience and comments about the place/food/drinks. this will spur me on to use my new camera more often too!

for the new year, i hope to really pick up scrapbooking proper since i already started classes last month. 

happy new year everyone!
