One-San is a Philatelist

Recently I've been to some museums last CNY(Chinese New Year),one of it was Singapore Philatelic Museum.








Before I started to collect old coins and paper money; my brother was ahead of me in collecting tex(postcard with animated pictures) yet the one that started it all, "The mastermind" collecting things was my very kind,friendly,outgoing onÄ“-san.(big Sister)  Ate Arlene.




Do you have any idea what is her 
Not in just coin were you can see animal icon


collecting?...  








Its Stamp
I just learn that there is such a word that defines someone who collect stamps and A study of collecting stamp. 



So I could just say:
" My sister is a philatelist"

I've also learned some language of Philately

For me, in the 21st century living;in an era where smart phones and instant message is taken for granted; still I would use hand letter mail."For every words I write,a part of me will be engrave on it,along with a stamp :3

 My morning start with a delicious pizza made my yours truly.
 Instead of Rice I replace it with pizza with veggies of on it. Rediscovering bread to the next level.


This is what I called Cheesiness pizza style
 The Ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. The Romans developed placenta, a sheet of flour topped with cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves. Modern pizza originated in Italy as the Neapolitan pie with tomato.
In 1889 cheese was added.

King Ferdinand I (1751–1825) is said to have disguised himself as a commoner and, in clandestine fashion, visited a poor neighborhood in Naples. One story has it that he wanted to sink his teeth into a food that the queen had banned from the royal court—pizza.[3]
In 1889, during a visit in Naples, Queen Margherita of Savoy was served a pizza resembling the colors of the Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). This kind of pizza has been named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.

The Goal of Knowing you.


"Everyone has its own journey, a race in life. Each race of it has its own story and mine is this.


I have just started the journey of knowing you.
But I'm still quite far from the finish line for 
knowing you could take a journey of a lifetime.

There will be always a loop hole along the way
.Being afar from you is like a bitter sweet feeling.
 Bitter in a sense of I long to see you everyday,talk to, and be with you and spend the moment with you and 
sweet because it makes me value the time that were been together;(A piece of time that I ever i know I could make it stop and put it in my treasure box)
and lastly feeling of see you again gives me hope and energy to keep my up along the day.

My precious moment.


"If happiness is my goal in the race of life then your on the top of my priority. 
For being with you always make me happy."

" A heart Shape Figure along the Road"

Start of my day here.

"It takes one step to get you on another destination"
            It's still dark when I wake up today. My mother is about to go to work,So I tell her that I'll walk by her till it reach the station.But my mother is in a hurry so she immediate go out and lock the door.  And that it
I already cook the rice and wash the midnight dishhes cause       

         I sleep early last night.I wait my sister to wake up cause she going to her work and she have the key. Finish preparing her breakfast.

"Toasted bread with three different flavor on it. Brown Sugar,Margaine and Cheese"


Orange you want? ^_^

Not expert of Orange Presentation. So I just a simple one.


Sure thing this would make energies my sister's Day.

                      
         After I fetch her to the LRT and i buy some newspaper I immediately go home to bring back my newspaper and start my morning jogging 700m slope is the path I need to jog before it reaches my starting point, yet a rewarding view awaits anyone who pass by for it is also the hangout place of pigeons,turles and fishes. My target distance for my jogging session today is 7km.The total measure of the Sembawang connector is 1.7km so going back and forth would be 3.4km

Taken from the bridge

Sembawang Connector park



           Actually the first 4 days I have stayed here I only done a 3.4km.So I plan to double and challenge myself i far I could go.I plan to join a marathon in a future so this would be a training ground for me. The first 200m is quite okay until I reach the 300m mark. I'm starting to feel little fatigue, Yet I keep on runnning... running and suddenly I'm on 500m lactic building up on my body,my mouth is starting to dry up so I just do a slower pace to in order to recover and still continue my jogging.

A sign post of the tree that abundant on the sidewalk.

             With a slower pace suddenly I remember someone dear to me.Feeling somehow tired at 700m and i suddenly realize that in every race or journey you've been there will always be a finish line. A sanctuary, a break and a place rest. and The only thing that keep me from not reaching that goal is my mind.

As I'm about to reach the 900m my hands starts to feel cold,saliva starting to dry up. 100m more until the Finish line. At 900m mark you could see a Chinese temple beside the Road.

And then 1km at last.I walk for 500m aand start to repeat the fun experience again.
