Hiking - Bukit Black

Hi Blog,

On Sunday morning, I was resting on my bed, reflecting on the movie I had watched yesterday. I had too many thoughts in my head, and I thought it would be better to spend the energy hiking than lying in bed reflecting.

Looking like a great morning for hiking!

I quickly got ready and wondered where I should explore this time. I decided on Bukit Brown since I needed to head to Planter Market after my hike, so it made sense to choose something simple and nearby.

It seems I have a fondness for Bukit Brown, as you can read about in more detail from my past visits shared here: Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit (2021), Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit II (2021), Find the Third Car (2021), Mount Pleasant Cemetery (2021), Two Red Hikes (2022), Failed Urbex (2022), Failed Urbex Restored (2022), Bummer Hike to Bukit Brown (2022), Rainy Brown (2022), 2023 First Hike (2023), 2025 First Hike (2025)

Personal - Rainbow Tree Artwork

Hi Blog,

After returning from my trip to Taiwan, I was handed a big project with only a few days to complete it, so there was no time to waste.

I made sure to gather all the necessary materials ahead of time, like boxes, paint, and cutting tools. Most importantly, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve.

You might wonder why I’m doing this. My friends wanted to have a New Year celebration with the elderly, peers, and youngsters from our religious group, and I volunteered to make a giant tree to symbolise spring’s new growth after winter—a rebirth and a reminder to live with hope.

I tried to document the making process since this big project was something I could only handle myself, as everyone else was busy with other tasks in preparation for the event.

Personal - A Reflection on Life, Love, and Self-Worth

Hi Blog,

Today marks my 45th birthday, and I wish myself a happy birthday. I've chosen to reflect on my life's journey, acknowledging the periods of darkness and the moments of self-acceptance I've experienced. Thank you for ChatGPT's assistance in refining my English, making it more easily digested for readers interested in learning about my past and reflections.

(2024) I'm not sure where to begin... Initially, feeling depressed about being single at my age and demotivated upon seeing happy couples fit together like two matching puzzle pieces was common, along with a bittersweet sentiment towards them.

I have chosen to introspect deeply to uncover any potential flaws within myself. Why do others seem to avoid my company? Although I have received much advice, I have not accepted it because success is generally not as simple as ABC. Perhaps it is my own timid or narrow perspective that has led to all this. I will organize my scattered thoughts here for ChatGPT to summarise, and then I will copy from various places and paste them here.

I plan to organize my reflections into candles for easier reading, and I will include some of my older photographs that I have never shared on my blog before.

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.

Cycling - Found Another New Quietness

Hi Blog,

Falling sick mentally and physically, need some space to recharge myself. Since I already went to my quiet place on Friday (post link), this time, I wanted to take my waifu out for a ride. She also needed some fresh air.

It seemed like today weather was perfect and just thought of going somewhere to test the tranquillity.

Personal - Wonderful Experience

Hi Blog,

I have something interesting to share with you. Recently, I won a prize-giving contest on IG and had a wonderful experience upon collection.

Two weeks ago, I just joined this contest to help my friend to comment and like this IG post for higher winning chance for him. In my mind, either this is a market strategy to gain followers and likes or faking; or it is real.

I can't believe that...

Hiking - Ex Railway Route

Good Morning Blog,

Three years ago, Mr K brought me to an Ex-railway path before (link) and I decided to explore further and see whether is it a suitable hiking route.

Personal - NoFap Challenge

Hi Blog,

This one is a very personal post. I hesitated of whether I should make such a post or not. In this post, there won't have any pictures than text. It was about a challenge that I gave to myself - a NoFap Challenge for 30 days.

A general feeling when I was trying to pull myself through during these 30 days challenge

Personal - I am INFJ

Hi Blog,

It will a lengthy post without any new pictures but some random pictures of me having deep thoughts. Anyway, If you find it is a boring topic, you may skip it, because it matters to me.

I did a test from this 16 personalities (link), the purpose of doing so is to serve as a better understanding of myself. Whereas there are many people in my life, trying to tell/correct/change/label me; as time goes by I am really confused about who I am. And Yes, there are other people who tell me to shut those 'nasty' ones away from my life, but those 'nasty' ones are important in my life journey.

Personal - One Video Project Down

Hi Blog,

Finally, today got to showcase the video production to the school and I am glad the pupils love it. :) I simply soaked myself within their laughter and applause. Throughout the whole video production, I had learned a lot.

Personal - Just Find Out

Hi Blog,

It will be a long post. After roughly four-six years of trying-to-workout (cycling, hiking, swimming) and watching over my food intake (calculative over calories and no soft drink); not as professional/discipline/intensive as those Greek gods or even spend time at the Church of Gym religiously. A ugly fat duck like me can never become a beautiful swan; maybe a fit nice body without my stupid nerdy face. I just don’t understand why I can't lose a bit of weight but gained more! Until recent, I found out my own problem!

Look at this example - with such plain-looking face will surely unfit for such beautiful body.

Personal - My 2017 Resolution Reflection

Hi Blog,

Blog - My RSS Setup

Hi Blog,

Recently I was wondering how to make my blog update to appear on an app with notification. Then I bumped to a word, "RSS".

Ever since I blogged or read other bloggers, I will see a series of logo at a corner of a page along with instagram and facebook logos, and I don't know what is the wifi-like logo for. I bet you won't know either, don't be surprised. It was due to not massively promoted as compared to Instagram. Now I got an idea what it is.

For easy reference from my lousy English, you can read this blogger's post or how to subscribe to RSS (link).

Personal - Acceptance

Hi Blog,

It has come to end of 2017. I looked back my 2017 resolution (link) post. There were a few points that I need to help myself and just recently, I felt so relaxed and in peace with myself; like feeling 'immune' over my negatives in some ways.

Trying to look for a different way
