  1. Wow you’ve really come a long way sustaining this blog since 2008.

    I am blown away by all that you have achieved :) Very cool list.

    • Thanks for your compliment. :) Actually, it’s a personal “check list” for myself … sometimes, it’s hard to remember the stuff that I had done/accomplished through the year (life’s too hectic in Singapore and my mind is running in all directions all the time :( ). Therefore, having a list that summarizes the activities that I had participated through the year really helps.

      You should consider having a list too, esp since you have really achieved lots in the past yr! :)

  2. I enjoyed looking at your blog. I like to visit the old places in Singapore to looking at overseas like beautifl Shanghai. I had been to Beijing but I did not realise Shanghai is so vibrant and lighted up. Thanks for the enlighting photos. :)
