jordan road, hongkongaug 2008
it had been raining the entire day, no matter which area she had been. nothing serious like a typhoon of any sorts, but that persistant drizzle that did not let up was quite a mood damper.
she stood along the streets while her travelling partner busied himself shopping in the stores. it was a men's store, and he definitely didn't need her to help him choose his clothes. he knew his clothes well, and it showed well on him.
just a slight drizzle. she stood in the corner of the store, watching the people hurry along the streets, huddled under the umbrella. going home to a nice and warm home cooked meal after a long day in the office perhaps. out of the corner of her eye, she saw an old lady stamping her foot on a little soda can, and chucking it into a basket she dragged along behind her. the ironies of life.
she glanced into the store. he was at the counter paying for his purchases. a smile crept upon her face as she barely remembered them fighting over mundane stuff in their growing years. now he's become her travelling partner, someone who offers to carry her shopping bags, pushes the heavy luggage and well, takes care of things.
but to her, he will always remain the same little kid who fought with her over every single thing they could fight about. no matter how old he grows up to be.

shoot: deafening silence.
it has been kinda quiet in here for the longest period of time. guess the shuttler has ran out of time to update in this little space, to have the time to run outside with her camera and leisurely enjoying the world out there through the lens.
till the time the shuttler finds time yet again to update this pace.

hotel yunusjune 2007
it saw the completion of an intensive three year occupational therapy program through which she enjoyed tremendously (studying never felt that enjoyable!!) and where she bonded with people from all walks of life, poring over journal articles, groaning over unwritten assignments and laughing their heads off at all the hilarious antics people came up with during classes. it saw the maturation of the shuttler as she stepped out of her comfort zone as a student and into the clinical settings in which her eyes were opened to the realities of life. somehow the course had did some good in changing the shuttler's perspectives in life, but there never seemed to be a specific reason to put her finger down to. perhaps this is what they call synthesis afterall.
the year also saw the shuttler taking a month long break, travelling around in various places. it was a fantastic trip where she lounged by the poolside with a good book, suntanned along the beautiful beaches with a nice cold drink next to her, explored majestic views where previously she only saw them in pictures, saw the other side of the world and bascially enjoyed the total freedom and satisfaction that came with travelling.
it also marked the shuttler's first job as an occupational therapist, doing the very things she loved. life as an occupational therapist has been nothing but enjoyable, though there were occasional frustrating moments where the shuttler felt like pulling her hair out, but with the presence of wonderful colleagues, there isn't much to complain , really. friendships had been forged out of the working relationships and the shuttler believes that they are meant to be made for life. the weekend getaway with a handful of colleagues also managed to bond them much closer which was a real nice way to start her working career.
in the year to come (or rather, has already started!), the shuttler hopes for it to be an exciting one.
she hopes that she would continue to do well in her job, explore opportunities for research work as well as obtaining that particular piece of qualification which would do her good in her field. she strives to be "a catalyst of change", like what her supervisor had told her previously, and she is really excited at the whole array of possibilities that are awaiting her to take on.
she also hopes that she would be able to maintain her friendships with those people whom she has drifted away from, either due to the nature of her hectic schedule or just, you know, somehow drifted apart. life's too short to miss out on meeting up with old pals!
in her personal life, the shuttler is not expecting much. she hopes to meet that someone eventually, but she is not pinning much hopes and expectations on it. afterall, with higher expectations come harder disappointments isn't it? the shuttler is contented to let nature run its course and maybe something good may come out it.
may 2008 be a fantastic for you as well!

national park, athens2007
the shuttler thought that it would be a good idea to blow off the thick layer of dust accumulating in this area and to revive what she had started out to be a place of writing and photography.
things have been going on well at the workplace, and the shuttler is extremely happy with whatever she is currently doing. sometimes she can't believe how lucky she is, with the excellent job and wonderful colleagues at the workplace. of course, there would be occasional moments of whining and complaining, but nevertheless, the shuttler thinks that she can't be happier at another workplace than where she is now.
with work comes responsibilities and many other considerations. but the shuttler thinks that she'll survive, just like how she had survived many other occasions.

the shuttler came by this anamorphic drawing by julian beaver outside raffles city shopping center and was impressed by how the artist managed to create the three-dimensional effect by simply using chalk on the pavement. really impressive stuff, he had.
pardon the slightly poor photograph though. the afternoon sun casted the shadow of the tent used to protect the artwork.
well, the shuttler would soon be embarking on a backpacking trip together with the prodi. they hope to capture more beautiful moments and to share them with the readers of shuttersnap when they return in a month's time.
do check out this site again then!
meanwhile, the shuttler wishes the following may and june babies.......

shoot: to conquer greater heights
29 apr 2007so it's the end of living life as a student for most of the shuttler's coursemates. three years had gone past them in a whirlwind, and suddenly they find themselves standing right at the doorstep of the real working world. there would be more challenges ahead, with more obstacles to overcome and of course, greater heights to scale.
speaking of which, the shuttler would like to congratulate pamcake and ah lian for doing a wonderful job in clinching the top best paper yet again at the interdeparmental conference! they had lived up to tradition and delivered the best of the best! congrats once again to the entire team!
to the other coursemates, congrats on the completion of this intense and exciting course. it has been a wonderful journey and it's time to move on to greater things. =)
