The old me died, and the new me is here

Went to Carter lake for a short weekend; saw the sunset, slept in the car, watched the sunrise. the old me was left behind with the sunset, and with the sunrise, I am alive.

but in the meantime, I have fun.. in...

Spring 2019 is here

So, do i have any new pictures... i guess i do.. here it goes: this was taken at Parq Vancouver lift (elevator) when I was out with Andras for a drink and walk on a Saturday night...
It's another wine night. reflecting and looking through my other forgotten blogs... listening to emo music for a change. I just realized that i have another emo blog. So i will leave this here as happy pictures of the playground going forward :) 


Another cool spring night in Yaletown (outside Waterworks) :) 

Winter at South Langley - barn and car. :) snow and the best bang for winter tires 



Yaletown Annual illuminate event :) not much too much nice pics, but I did manage to get a clear photo of Illuminate.



Spring is here - Snow is gone, and there was a family of deer, at least there were 4 (captured by my eyes); but 1 captured by the camera. They were really close. 


Cherry or Plum Blossoms  :) just a beautiful Sunday walk  .. Spring is here!!! 

Spring is here and I love it. The cool and yet sunny weather is just making it really nice.. Ending it here with a pic that I took on the first day of spring - super worm moon :) 

Photos are not in a chronological order. That's how my mind is working now.

I am titanium

Another post in 2019 - i'm just getting back to as though I'm writing a journal back in Secondary school days. Another bottle of wine - this time, it's 2016 Cabernet from Township 7.

I had been drowning myself with Avicii's music. I was just reading my 2010 posts. Avicii was not even popular at that time. Between then and now; he died. But, you know, I really do like him more than David Guetta at this time. funny as it might be; but David Guetta is still alive, so he could surpass Avicii.

Been planning my time schedule of who to meet when I'm in SG for CNY. i'm here in YVR for 10 years. 10 years had changed who I will meet when I'm back in SG. I'm glad to be able to still meet those people that I know 10 years ago and more. Looking back, I had a lot more people to meet 10 years ago, but it had dwindled down to those key people. Connections, fate, destiny? I don't know. But i know, i'm grateful that for these connections. Going to meet up with a 'lost' connection this time around. It's going to be fun. Nerve-wrecking too; as this person is someone that I had known for more than 10 years; and yet we lost touch. Just out of the blue, I decided to just do it, instead of "drunk-asking" all the time when I'm back- fully known that the person will not be able to make it. I'm excited too at the same time. But, it's like, trains on train tracks... our life had diverted and went around to different places all these time. And, we are going to meet and connect. Are we able to just talk like before and talk about all the different places we had been. We will see. I'm nervous.

And, should I just up the ante - and just ask a few of the lost connections to meet up? And yet, for certain connection - it's like the time is up, and although the train stops at the same stations for the last 10 years, it feels like it's going to go apart. Sad, but maybe it's inevitable. God knows.

To get to what I want, perhaps, it just going to coincide 10 years ago, where I did my couple of months of no paid leave and had a road trip through US + vacation.. it's might just be 2020 when I do my trip. #10 years challenge (that's supposedly the "in-thing now").

I am tired. I want to earn a lot of money. If I can always double down just 10X; I will be able to pay off the mortgage, and then still have a lump sum to just chill and do my roadtrip. So, perhaps, this year will be the year to try to double down and set up for a win for 2020.

I can do it.

Just like Daivd Guetta - Titanium -
"I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium"
