Losing your child....

... Make grown men weep too!

So painful to know each kid was shot more than once.

Today we start to see the pictures of smiling six and seven year olds who could go no further in life

Newtown shooting

Feels so sad to read about the scary incident.

Miss Universe 2012 - Frontrunners

I read from Yahoo! that the Miss Universe Pageant this year will be held on 19th Dec in Las Vegas. They compiled a top 10 list of 'Early Frontrunners' and I must say, some of them looked really gorgeous. Our Miss Malaysia 2012, Kimberley Leggett is one of the top 10. Truthfully, she does not look Malaysian eventhough she is a Malaysian due to her mix parentage. But, I guess if that is what it takes to try to win the Miss Universe title.... that will do. The list:

Miss Malaysia 2012, Kimberley Legget

Miss Puerto Rico 2012, Bodine Koehler

Miss South Africa 2012, Melinda Bam

Non-biological twins

I read an article saying that Everybody has a twin. While reading it, I thought the pictures were amazing and it was pretty cool to have a twin. In my mind I thought, they would be bestfriends! But when I finished reading the article, I recalled a time back in high school when I had a schoolmate who looked like me. Well, at least that was what most people said. I remember resenting having someone who looked like me. I avoided her like a plaque. I did not want to get to know her at all. We may look alike, but we do not have the same character. Generally, people's assumption when there are twins is that, they behave the same way and like the same things. Ask me again why I detested knowing that I had a lookalike - I do not know. Maybe its like having another girl wear the same dress like you at a party and you thought your dress was the prettiest until she wore it too??!!

But, of course, NOW I think it is cool to find out that you have a non-biological twin. Just do not expect them to be best of friends. See more pictures here: DAILYMAILUK

My New Year Resolution for 2013

My New Year Resolution for 2013 is to turn back the clock to look like the picture below again. That was the time when fried chicken was a no-no, I was active in gym and danced a lot... Which I haven't done much of since I started university......

Jolly season 2

Ok, this picture looks more jolly than the previous one. It felt joyful maybe because of the christmas songs I was listening to. Those songs never grow old! the photo was taken to show the things I used to block out the fire alarm ringing as it was testing day and it rang on and off about 30 times today. It was too cold to leave the house!

19 People Who Are Having a Worse Day Than You

READ THIS

After reading that, Yup, My day was definitely much better. ;)

Life itself

Bad things do happen;

how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.

I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness,

immobilized by the gravity of my loss,

or I can choose to rise from the pain

and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

Jolly season

Alexandra Park, Glasgow

Of late, I have been an avid follower of tours organised by Gary from Student Tours Scotland. I was impressed with the knowledge I gained from the first trip I had with him. In my opinion, following a tour like this gives me a greater insight to the reason why buildings were built or why was a statue placed at that particular place. This kind of history lesson, I do not mind listening to :) Furthermore, the tours were priced reasonably.

Today, we had a walking trip to Denistoun and Alexandra Park. I asked a few others to come along on the tour but they laughed it off because Denistoun is so near where we live. But, I am glad I went. It was a free of charge walking tour. The tour started at GOMA, the meeting point. Since my friends and I were there early, we went inside GOMA to have a look.

After looking at the art pieces on the first floor, I can conclude that I did not appreciate those type of art. My thoughts: How can these be art?? *The ones I took pictures of were decent enough. There were other unimpressive ones* GOMA's library was not too bad. The library membership is free and we get to borrow books!

After 20 minutes, we met up with the rest of the tour outside the museum. Gary gave a brief run through of what we were doing for the day. Initially, the walk was suppose to include the Glasgow Necropolis. But, it was a good thing it was cancelled as it was dark already by the time we walked back from Alexandra Park. I definitely do not want to be walking around in a cemetery at night.

The walk to Alexandra Park took about 30 minutes. Quite a long walk but good thing the weather was decent. We passed through Dennistoun with their rows of houses. Coincidentally, I was actually there yesterday exploring by myself.

Along Duke Street we saw the Tennents Caledonian Academy and its Beer factory. It is a local Scottish beer.

At the entrance of the park there is a huge sign so you cant miss the park.

Because it was winter, the trees at the park had no leaves. It was mostly branches.

By the time we arrived there the sun was setting. There was a fountain with a half frozen pond. We could see ducks and swans there too. There were plenty of them.

So, I had some nice shots of the scenery  The walk was good as the weather was good.

This park was pretty big and I am sure during spring, it would be better. I do look forwards to coming back to Alexandra Park :)
