Life is fragile and unpredictable

Just came back from my senior's wake and feel that life is really too unpredictable. I won't say it's short, just very very unpredictable. It was just a week ago that he was still happily doing things with his gf and doing things in preparation of things he was planning to do, not knowing that just a week later, his life would be taken by an errant driver. It just leaves me with a sinking feeling. Accidents happen everyday, and people pass on everyday. But the fragility of life doesn't hit you till someone you actually personally know dies. I feel like his life was cut short because it seems like he has so much ahead of him. I pray for comfort - for your family and friends. RIP dear senior.

Happy Birthday J!

Settled on brunch at The Disgruntled Chef to celebrate J's birthday.  Just a simple celebration with some friends. 
Didn't take much pictures of the food but it is really good.


Happy Birthday Brown Bear!
You're a quarter of a century old now!

Travels - Bali, Indonesia 2012

11-15 May 2012

Decided to join J and some of his friends for a holiday in Bali to celebrate their graduation. I didn't have a big graduation trip. It was a simple trip to India, with 1 travel mate, that I enjoyed a lot. Travelling in intimate groups allows me to be more introspective and gives me more time to think about life. With a group of friends, it's a different type of enjoyment - more time is spent doing activities as a group and interaction usually happens as a group together.

Maybe it's through such group travel that you learn more about yourself and your thoughts. You start to realise how different your views are from other people. There is a lot more questioning involved as well as I try to decipher what makes different people tick and the thoughts that they have. It can be very interesting.

Personally I prefer intimate travel groups as it allows for more adventure and self-discovery, and refreshes my mind and outlook about life.
