Blog - December Update

Hi Blog,

Wow! December! As compared to other years, this year, it seemed like I have lesser posts... I might need some time to revisit my usual hiking places... But I doubt anyone will want to read the same old things again.

Feel bounded this time around, perhaps lack of ideas...

Anyway, it is a diary for me; I will take it easy and hope next year will be a good one.

Product - Making a Magnetic Shield Harness

Hi Blog,

I have a mini project for myself that took me months to prepare, research, and decide to put my fat axx to work on it.

On 15th Mar 2021, I travelled all the way down to this factory building.

Because I wanted to build a wearable Captain America shield onto the harness which I got in Feb 2021.

Trip - Bukit Batok Hillside Nature Park and Jurong Hill Park

Hi Blog,

Merry Belated Christmas. Thanks to my blog for walking with my stupid boring journey. These days, I had been known among my friends for visiting unusual places and today is no exception, I managed to find one place guided by my friend and another one from JH. What a day to spend after Christmas!

Mr Sun was excited to visit those places with me

To my surprise, the trip was a short one but since JH drove a car so the road trip seemed easy and possible.

Trip - Fort Serapong

Hi Blog,

On the last day of my two days of medical leave, I decided to go for an exploration. Where am I planning to go? Yes! Mrs R introduced to me a special place at Sentosa which was Fort Serapong.

Today weather seemed okay. Hope it won't rain heavily.

Why did I want to explore such a location, which you might ask? When you think of Sentosa, you will name a few tourist attractions, but to me, those are just meh. The place where I visited, is one of the raw and hidden gems, untouched and might be gone in future; who knows. Personally, I just wanted to visit before it was gone.

Hiking - Wild Nep Hunting

Hi Blog,

Today was my second day of leave, made a long weekend. It will be a short post, as it was not so right to keep on taking pictures while accompanying my plant friend, B, to find what he wants.

Cloudly sky today

So lets go and hunt for some wild Nepenthes!

Personal - Suits for the Theme #56

Hi Blog,

Even though I had not started jogging during Dec because of cycling to workplace and after-work program. I will start Dec update with a theme. My #56 addition.

It seemed like I will need to redo this theme again. Difficult to get it right.

What do you think?

Blog - November Update

Hi Blog,

New month started, the month when she was getting married. I just simply smiled and moved on.

Set a new target and move towards it

I realised these few days Miss Sky seemed like planning to daily-wash the Earth and my calendar started to pack with programmes and meetings... I will try to go for a workout whenever I can.

Personal - Fighting with Inner Demons

Hi Blog,

Last year March, I gave myself a No Fap Challenge (link) for 30 days and even though I did not manage to complete it for 30 days, the overall feeling was great. You may check my initial post first to find out why I wanted to try it.

In this post, I decided to try again. Last time, I failed because supposed to be no fap, basically, no self-stimulation but I just kept edging myself. Hopefully, this time around I will not do that. Fingers cross. While taking up this challenge, I also bumped into this whole exercise called, "No Nut November" aka Nofap month; to show moral support to those people who have Erectile Dysfunction.

Let me share with you, my honest experience of what I had gone through, so please don't judge me and my imagination...

Hiking - Dark Thomson Visit

Hi Blog,

It had been a while since I visited Thomson Nature Park. I checked, my last visit alone was May 2021 (link) which I went alone and in the previous visit was with Sctt on Apr 2021 (link)

Honestly, missing a good friend, Sctt because of a misunderstanding, was not a great experience. I doubt he will learn this but my prayer and blessing to him and other friends who left and ghosted me.

For now, I shall focus on the short hike and get away from my inner demon while I was doing my No Nut Nov challenge.

Personal - Mini Weekend Tour Guide

Hi Blog,

Oh my... my weekend were packed with programmes like hiking, clearing errands and making arrangements for upcoming classes... In this post, I was actually asked to become a "tour guide" for two different places because I shared my hike on FB...

So here, on 20th Nov 2021, I brought a few of my friends for a tour. Want to make a guess where I will be bringing them to?

Oh well... I told myself that I don't want to bring anyone to such tours... because I don't want to trouble the "good friends" anymore. Hope it will be the last time.

Personal - Top Eight Woodneuk Graffities

Hi Blog,

This is my first try of sharing my view of some top selections on certain random stuff. Like this post as titled, this will be my Top Eight Woodneuk Graffities (personal preference)

Since I won't be going there anymore, what remains in my mind when I visited that place, is its graffiti artwork.

You can share with me which graffiti that you like and why. For me, how I based on, is to showcase the detail of that graffiti artwork and effort from the artist. Let's start from the First Graffiti!

Trip - Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Hi Blog,

After this morning hiccups... I felt that I woke up from the wrong side of my bed...

Since the day was good

Let's go and explore one more cemetery near Bukit Brown Cemetery - Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

Trip - Istana Woodneuk Abandoned House

Hi Blog,

Today I don't care rain or shine, I wanted to explore one place which is my list and credit to one of my IG followers, urbex_horse, who guided me the route. I got to know Istana Woodneuk from these following sites: wikipedia, stateofbuildings and smartlocal. (I will encourage you guys to check them out and see how much changes it got since then.)

Mr Sun and Miss Sky seemed to know that I am going to somewhere... and they showed their worries.

Warning: That place is still forbidden to enter because of it is not a safe place for visiting. I hope my visit will discourage you to. And hope readers can keep this harmless personal blog low profile. I don't want troubles.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #55

Hi Blog,

Usually, it seemed like a monthly tradition to kickstart my monthly update with a trisuit theme which I had gathered for months.

These few days, it had been raining so I can't go for a jog.

Hope Miss Sky will let me go for a jog.

Blog - October Update

Hi Blog,

October arrived in so fast; September seemed like a blink of an eye. I observed that I didn't do many long posts but more on short posts (which parked under that Month Update) because not much opportunity and lesser great places to explore.

At least, something new like this, a simple thing will make my day.

Might revisit those places again since it is a nice place for photos. :) hope you won't be bored by it.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #54

Hi Blog,

Oh my! Hahaha, I almost forgot about this trisuit theme. it was started in Jul 2020 and completed in Jan 2021, then I just left it within my draft.

I guess it is time to tidy this theme

My #54 trisuit theme! If you missed the previous one, you may click here or view the whole theme.

Hiking - Find the Third Car

Hi Blog,

Recently... my emotional/emotionless mood has kind of dragged me these days. I decided to move on with my life.

Mr Sun waved at me and told me to step out now.

So where should I go to? My IG feed got one user who visited Bukit Brown Cemetery (my first visit and second visit) He found something which I had missed out on previously.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #53

Hi Blog,

You might be thinking, where is the new trisuit series for this month? yes! I didn't forget and here it is :D

A simple street shot where I always jog along

If you have missed out the previous one (here) or view in the gallery of my trisuit theme which I had made over the years (here)

Hiking - Wild Imagination Hunting

Good Morning Blog,

Yawning... Today I took leave because I wanted some time for myself... Supposed to hike with my fellow hobbyists to find wild SG Nepethenes but... the same kite episode replayed. I will go on my own hiking.

Woke up earlier than my usual work time

Since I took leave and let don't waste it.

Trip - The Singapore Ant Museum

Hi Blog,

It might come up impromptu, today I decided to visit Singapore Ant Museum. Have you heard about it?

Lucky, it is located near where I stay so let's explore that place!

The main reason why I wanted to visit Ant Museum because previously, I got myself a few ant ferns to house those ants at my nep garden, but recently don't know why they were gone completely... So I wanted to make an 'open world' ants formicarium and learned a few tips from the museum.

Personal - One More Time for Children Day

Hi Blog,

Once again, Children's Day was approaching... One of my most stressful month... was to come out video performance for students. (you may check on last year similar post which stressed me up greatly... here) Since beginning of Sep, after Teachers' Day Celebration, I started to ask my colleagues for ideas.

Yes! What you are seeing now, is our completed video.

Finally, settled one major project and let me share what we had gone through.

Blog - September Update

Hi Blog,

Hmm... Too many things happened in my life... Some which I can't control or have any saying over, but others took it as I am just finding excuses; to further open the wound and misunderstanding, they just quoted, "If you are sincere, you will find or make time for it." or " you manage your own life between work, family and personal time; no one controls your time besides yourself..."

Oh Yeah, welcome to my Sep update.

Honestly... it was suffocating... Like do they even know what I had to go through? Like meet up, we might had arranged but inconvenience just happened or my availability doesn't match yours. Anyway, I am kind of give up if that was what they think. A lot of negative energy these days...

Personal - Suits for the Theme #52

Hi Blog,

Today I didn't go for any jog because I got rather tired... and spoiled by rain. I will post one completed Trisuit theme for the day.

I guessed this #52 trisuit theme is just to express my emotionless mood.

Really need to get out of this abyss of physique-comparison trend, which doesn't help me... Anyway, if you had missed my previous trisuit theme #51 (you can click here) and check out the overall collection of the theme here.

Hiking - Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit II

Good Afternoon Blog,

I thought today would rain but eventually, Miss Sky had some other plan and let Mr Sun take over the day. Today hike, I should be bringing a new friend, Ga, for his first hike at Bukit Brown.

Check out the intensity of Mr Sun

Well, since Ga was unable to go I shall go and explore that place myself.

Cycling - To Hampstead

Good Morning Blog,

ZN wanted to go for a ride and asked me to find a place. I thought through... ZN doesn't have a bike of his own but he claimed he can rent the public bike. Seriously?

Since he was so confident about it so we will ride early to wake Mr Sun.

Besides catching the sun rise, I also wanted to cover one place... That is Hampstead Wetland Park.

Trip - Rainy Lazarus

Hi Blog,

Didn't manage to take leave during that term break so I can escape from the school holiday crowd and bring my bro, Sv, who hardly able to take his leave from his heavy workload to my favourite island - Lazarus.

Prepared my usual stuff for this trip and one more additional item, guess what will it be?

Hope it will be a good trip.

Hiking - Anyone Around

Good Afternoon Blog,

My motivation was rather low. Don't know how come it was so low... I shall hike to meet my friend, T, to collect my plant.

Nice weather today

I decided to hike in the noon and will want to go for a spidery-investigation and some self-reflection... Hopefully, I can push myself forwards.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #51

Hi Blog,

yes here come with my #51 trisuit theme! In fact, I just realised that I had completed this theme since last year Jul! hahaha! If you think that I looked younger and lesser fat, you are not wrong because I got older and fatter now.

I should try to get creative here next time

If you want to check out my other trisuit themes, you can click here.

Cycling - Ulu Ride

Good Morning Blog,

Yawning... This was early... 500am... After my mother and I had some big arguement which ended like 1+... At least, it ended at peaceful note.

Wy and I decided to visit one place

To catch sun rise at one popular spot. It will be a short post, so... lets ride!

Hiking - The Southern Ridges

Good Morning Blog,

Thanks goodness Saturday morning no rain and will be bringing my friend, MF, to kickstart his hiking experience before working. MF picked to explore Southern Ridges, I had gone there many times (like this post) but it was a long time ago.

Morning, Mr Sun seemed happy today.

Alright, Southern Ridges, here I coming!

Blog - August Update

Hi Blog,

10 years of blogging since 2010, writing my thoughts and share my experience to space. My blog got personal and repetitive dull, but it is how my life is. Writing is just a way to keep my mind checked.

August monthly update :)

who knows one fine day I might stop blogging, actually won't have any effect on anyone. Right?

Hiking - My Spider-Camera

Good Morning Blog,

After yesterday recharge, today I will try to push myself for some more workout.

Wanted to bring my waifu for a ride.

But Wy texted me for a hike and catch up session. Wy wanted my help to become her study project for her psychology study submission, basically, she wanted to know my family background, my psychological mental health and life challenges. I will share with you what she had written next time.

Hiking - Complex Self

Hi Blog,

Today was Saturday. Thanks for asking and show your concern about whether am I feeling okay after the unknown unmotivated feeling and the recent scam... 

Mr Sun and Miss Sky gave me warm welcome weather to get me to kick start...

to hike and reflect upon myself again...

Personal - Got Scammed Experience

Hi Blog,

Have you experienced any scam before? This week I got one despite my guts warned me loudly but I still chose to risk it... Just stupid me... I just can't forgive myself for being stupid...

Yes, I got scammed because I wanted to complete my houseplants craze with one last plant.

let me share with my rollercoaster-scam experience. Warning, it will be a lot of screenshots in this post and I will explain my thought towards the screenshots between me and the seller.

Cycling - Wake Mr Sun Up

Good Morning Blog,

Yawning... Today's post will be a short one. I didn't have proper sleep because I woke up every single hour or even every 15 mins... I just worried that I might oversleep...

Ended up, I only slept a few hours, and since I had promised to meet up Wy.

Wy is the lady who drew a Merlion head cycling track together with us. She stays quite near me and wanted to cycle together, so I have to uphold my promise.

Personal - 08 08 Date

Good morning Blog,

Yawning loudly! Today was 08/08, what a positive number date, and because yesterday I was just a pig for the whole day... So today I must do something.

6am in the morning when Mr Sun still sleeping

Today 08 08 will be a long day for me.

Trip - Tuas TV World

Good Afternoon Blog,

This must be one of my most impromptu hikes ever or my first impromptu hike. Why so? As I was transforming myself into a pig or couch potato, I browsed a fb post which caught my attention.

After I learned its location and it will be gone sooner... I decided to gear up and left my home.

What was it so special which made me give up my transformation? Yes, as titled, it was Tuas TV World.

Blog - July Update

Hi Blog,

July already. Oh man! Time really passed fast for me. Covid pandemic had become a norm to everyone unlike last year.

Just want a hiding place for some me-time.

Even though, I posted lesser long posts these days and will treat my blogging as a relax habit than a chore.

Hiking - Race with the Rain

Good Morning Blog,

This will be a short post about today hike. ZN asked me to go for an early hike, so since I needed some motivation to add a little push towards my tired and lazy fat body.

I would want to start early so I can sleep throughout after that, Hahaha!

Actually, today I don't feel like taking pictures... ZN won't like to take my pictures that much but I learned that it turned out, he is fine with it as long as I don't do it too often. Hahaha... Today we went for a green corridor.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #50

Hi Blog,

This post is my 50th Anniversary Trisuit Theme post! Hahaha! 50th, Wow!

A simple victory hand-sign

By viewing the whole collection in one post (here), what an achievement.

Personal - My 42nd Birthday

Hi Blog,

Yes! Today is my 42nd Birthday. Overall, I should remind myself, have I gotten any wiser or still struck in a deep abyss of expecting more?

This year, or this month, I was crazed for overspent and spent on plant but this is the one which I must have it as my birthday gift for myself.

Let's share with you how I spent my birthday.

Hiking - Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit

Good Morning Blog,

Supposed to wait for Az to visit Bukit Brown... I guessed he is one typical example of those who cared GREAT interest and Keenness to hike together; very chatty and promising and right after our first hike to Keppel Reservoir, like other people - the chat just started dying off. Not that I will expect anything but it just triggered and sent me back to the abyss of how shxtty I am in person...

but anyway... Instead of sinking and continuing to nail myself into the coffin

I shall return to where and how I started, which is just me. I will just go alone!

Hiking - Voice Out

Hi Blog,

Usually weekend morning, I will go for a hike or take my waifu out or maybe clearing some errands... Today I should be going for a good hike...

And I felt rather emotionless and didn't want to do anything else...

I woke up early morning but I just wanted to "die my feelings"... because if I started to look into those feelings... I will have to face many negative feelings (even though there are position too)but I need to let everything sank first then pick myself up from there.

Product - CIGA Design X Series Titanium Mechanical Watch

Hi Blog,

Not long ago, I made a product opening post for HappieWatch (link) and yes! I am crazy to fall into another Watch-Craze flu! I decided to purchase another one suggested on FB and got poisoned by it.

This was the first image that PIERCED through my soul!

I calmed down and reflected on myself... and I know why this watch got my attention. I always wanted a skeleton watch since young, and the most desired skeleton watches I liked are just way too expensive... And this CigaDesign watch just made me lose my senses. You can check the actual product from IndieGoGo (link).

Personal - Suits to the Theme #49

Hi Blog,

I guess every month having a complete trisuit theme to make an opening post will be a good starter post. This month will also have one trisuit theme which I spent a good quality time to gather.

This post theme - Let me introduce my favourite beanbag which is my seat for playing games.

By putting a towel over the beanbag is to prevent my smelly sweaty back stained it. Anyway, if you had missed the previous theme #48 (here) and check the overview of the rest of my trisuit theme (here).

Blog - June Update

Hi Blog,

Covid Heightened Alert will last until the second week of June, many parks or places have been restricted. Good and bad but it is definitely the only way to live on.

Struck on the web - either you can free yourself in time or struggle until eaten by a spider.

May I had been actively updated my monthly post. Perhaps June will be slightly relaxed and chilled. let's start our June post with a trisuit theme completion because May does not have one.

Trip - Two Ferries Companies Comparison

Good Morning Blog,

Today was my last day of leave for 2020 (carried forward). Supposed to go for an island trip with Alvmax (as he always wanted to go, but when I managed to arrange a time to go, he can't go anymore because his granny passed away.) and since he can't make it and Jamster claimed he can make it. So will spend with him on that island trip (link) but...

Today weather seemed good despite had been raining for the past two days.

he was tired as he just started working. I guessed I will go on this island trip on my own...

Trip - Explore Lazarus Unexplored

Good Morning Blog,

Just worrying that today leave will turn into waste if it rained today.

It seemed like today Mr Sun and Miss Sky had made a proper arrangement.

Today will be meeting Ai and exploring my favourite place before he started his working life.

Personal - INFJ Sharing Secrets with Others

Good morning Blog,

Today was my leave and wanted to go for an island trip but... never mind. I decided to go for a short hiking and catch up session with Q. It will be some of my usual hiking trip and I took some time to observe how I share my secrets with others... Will explain more later.

Gloomy weather today, lucky I didn't go for suntan.

Woke up early so that we can end today simple hike. Today post, I was wondering, as an INFJ, do I share secrets to others?

Personal - Not Moving to Next Level

Good Morning Blog,

My bro W asked me to go for a hike with him as he needed some space for himself from his home with kids and wanted to sweat out.

I got myself ready and waited for his arrival under my block

I guessed I will take my waifu out during those days when I can go back to work.
