Never too late to learn

2009 August 20
by dreams

Last year, after knowing Ping has a group of fun loving students attending her English Lesson at a community centre and visited them a few time and an outing with them.

IMG_5370
Night Safari!

Ping always call them, “The Old Ladies” then we will know who are they she is referring to. The “youngest student” is 80 year old, they are so enthusiastic learning english and even practicing it daily whenever there is a chance for them. The joy they have during Ping’s lesson will inspired you about learning. One of my favorite phase , “it’s never too late to learn something”

Treats from them

Laughters all around during the lesson!

Singapore 2008 – Sharing at SDC

2009 July 9
by dreams

I just such a draggy, supposed to start this update at 12am but end up started at 4am! Too indulging with Youtube!!!! Been surfing on it almost 4 hours! Here for those who might wonder what i been watching, all just about SIngapore stuff, especially the leaders. Do look at the side links as well. :) Enjoy

Come to think about it, Singapore National Day is around the corner (One more month, 09/08/2009) Early last year, i was approached by Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC) which they happened to discovered this little series of mine online by chance and interested with it. Invited me to exhibit at their centre to share with our fellow Singaporeans and visitors, to celebrate last year Singapore National Day. I have agreed out of goodwill and insisted it should not a commercial beneficially event etc.

Again, this year was approached by another group of “NDP committees” where they saw the series at SDC and emailed me showing their interests for “some collaboration” for this year NDP Booklet or Goodies. But things don’t happen what it “should” be, always. And i am afraid that i cant agree with some of the requests as it sound bit “out of it” for me personally, as well for them. Just keep a look out for this NDP Booklet or Goodies and you might see something familiar :)

Let’s back to last year! Here how’s the exhibition look like. Together with another 3 photographer’s works.

Here Mr Razin, who i knew thru Photoaids (his dream at the right bottom corner). He was one of the photographer in the exhibitions. This photo was shot by his daughter when he visited SDC.

The experiences with SDC was one of the most memorable one! From preparation till the show, people i met, stuff that been shared etc. Many thanks to SDC for this and Julia who been working closely with me despite some hiccups that we have met. It was the first time that “Dreams” were actually shared in Singapore by exhibition.

Singapore 2008

2009 July 8
by dreams

Finally, have updated the KL trips of mine last year after taking such a long time. Before i start the dues for Singapore updates, this was taken the last trip at KL where it was my first time playing Futsal. My Lungs have dropped off few times! It’s really nice to sweats it all out. Perhaps it’s time to work out abit….. a simple one will do……

img_4752

KL is never far for me and perhaps some of you might few the same way too. Enjoying the 5 hours of Coach journey with shinning stars up in the sky accompany you if you are taking the night ride which i always do.

And that’s how some of friends came for a short escape during the weekends, especially when there are some music festivals or shows going on in Singapore.

Tomas and Gangs were back with me during the 1st trip to KL and it’s really fun but this will happen when too many young boys cramping in a small tiny room. LOL, there were load of laughters thru out the whole night and not many photos that can be shown on public! Btw, it’s all healthy photos :)

img_5285

img_5289

Soon, few days passed and time for them back for work. Tomas will be back just in about 2 weeks time where he having his 1st performance with his Silent Scenery.

img_8462
Here Tomas playing his Bass during the show last year, soon this Aug he will be here again to perform at the BayBeats 2009 at Esplanade.

Furniture was here too for the same show last year. It been a long long time that have seen them play “Live” those good olden days :) The touring in SIngapore and those KL performances!

img_8612

And here is Ronnie, the founder of Furniture. Where i met him and the band member years back during a music festive in Singapore. Furniture is the first KL independent band that i ever known and that’s how the friendships started for me with the whole bunch of my KL friends! :)
