The world through my eyes.
Some time ago, I used to take walks along the beach at east coast and wait for the sun to set before heading home.
Each time I was there to watch the sun set, I would always be reminded of just how awesome God is. He paints every sunset,
all of which I marvel at. Each time I marvel at God's works, I would ask myself what God’s purpose is for me.
Where and how would I be like in ten years? Hence, I decided to create a site to log down my journey through life for as long as I can, and hopefully share my most candid thoughts and life changing experiences just so that you can understand me better while I can relive them again. Cheers! +Charles.M |

 Since returning to Singapore, I'v bought 4 pairs of shoes! 2 of which was from HK. :) I will talk about my hongkong trip soon ;) Be Right Back
I'm going to Hongkong today and I'll be back on sunday night. :)On this trip, I hope to spend some quality time with my father and maybe do some shopping. Its been a while since I last went to HK, and I hear that its changed alot, so I'm looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to visiting my relatives while in HK! :) Very interestingly, I met a friend in monash last semester who is from HK. She has volunteered to take me around over the weekend while my dad is playing golf. So we'll see how that work out! I hope to take many pictures, and maybe post some of them up on the site! Yesterday was very fruitful. I went fishing with old pal linus. We caught up on the good old times! Be back soon! 
Badminton and Sunset way
      Managed to catch up with my old kakis for a game of badminton. It was quite a backbreaking experience for me as usual since Ruisheng, Ruizhi and Siewlian have been playing regularly. The tempo of the game was definitely faster than the club which I play in in Melbourne. After badminton, we headed to a restuarant in seletar called sunset way. I felt the resturant was really good as it was facing the run way and there was a clear view of the sunset. There were also small planes flying around and landing on the run way. So its thumbs up for couples, but you'll need a car to get in. I enjoyed catching up with my kakis and knowing they are doing well. Siewlian is getting married this september, to which I am trying my best to arrange a flight back to Singapore to give her and Kok Hwee my support. I'm very delighted that God has showered his blessings over my loved ones, and that the people around me are doing well! Glory be to God! Jewel*
 Secretly, I think Jewel understands what I say, although it can be quite gibberish and nonsensical at times. She is such a sweet heart really. In case you don't already know, Jewel is my companion. She is turning 7 this August. And since I won't be around to celebrate her birthday, I figured I dedicate a post to her. Here are some random facts about Jewel. Jewel ... 1) swam in bedok reservoir before! Sis and I were canoeing at the reservoir while Jewel and mom was at the platform when Jewel got so excited, she decided to jump into the water and swam towards our canoe! 2) tore her ligament last october. To which, the vet and I operated on her. 3) had an operation two years ago due to kidney problem. 4) is overweight and very cheeky. She would refuse to let me wash her feet after her walks. Instead, she would go hide under the bed. 5) sleeps with me on my bed whenever I'm back in Singapore. 6) thinks I am mad because shes seen my ridiculous bathroom dance moves and comic relief. 7) is mentor to my cat, Garfield. Yes, I'v a cat and a dog. Garfield is 2 years old. 8) shares the same water bowl as Garfield 9) hates it when I blow at her face. She snorts at me when I do that. 10) loves me the most :) I think my mother is actually God's angel in disguise.
This will probably sound so bias, but I seriously think my mom is the best mother in the world. My mother is the most forgiving, compassionate, loving and humble person I have ever met in my entire life. And I can back it up with evidence. Each time I come back to Singapore for a holiday, I will always have an agenda. This time around, I want to accomplish 3 things. Firstly, I wanted to have a good and long chat with my mom and get to know her alot better. Secondly, I want to spend quality time with my father. Thirdly, I want to take a well deserved break from all the studying I was doing and let my hair down. I spent some time talking to mom an hour ago and I got to know her a whole lot better. It feels like as though I was making a new friend. And here are just some of the many things I learnt about my mom. 1)My mom still sends money to our first maid who lives in Sri Lanka on an annual basis on her birthday and christmas. 2)My mom has forgiven my father entirely for what occured 20 years ago. In fact, my mom still keeps my dad in prayer, in hope that he finds joy and happiness. 3)My mom gave 10% of the money from the sale of our previous house to the church. 4)My mom visits an old folks home weekly and takes care of the old folks there, buying them biscuits and snacks on each visit. 5)My mom is so compassionate, she always lends a helping hand to the people around her. Which sometimes bugs me because shes lent thousands to friends without expecting them to return. 6)My mom prays for me every single day, without fail. I have heard of how amazing a mother's love is. I am very thankful to God, that He has blessed me with a mom that loves me through and through. I am also very thankful to God for my mom, who has such great character. She has and is always going to be my role model. Very loved and very blessed. I'm back!
 I'm finally home! The flight home was dizzy and tiring. Guess it was my motion >sickness kicking in again. I did beat the holland guy sitting next to me on the plane in multiplayer mario bros though! After arriving in Singapore, I rushed home to put my stuff before rushing to timbre for pamela's birthday! Happy birthday Pamela! and thanks to the rest for accompanying me to eat hawker food after timbre! I had a plate of roti john, hokkien mee and carrot cake all at one go! I think thats what melbourne does to me! deprived of local food. So anyway, its 3am now and I ought to go to bed! My twenty days countdown begins now. Genesis
Now that my examinations have ended, I will be heading back home to the greener pastures of Singapore today! Its winter in Melbourne now, so the weather can get quite dreadful. I'v been praying that I do not need to be quarantined when I arrive in Singapore, else it just dampens the holiday mood. In any case, I'v armed myself with a n95 SARS mask, just in case the person beside me on the plane is a alleged/prospective/suspected swine flu victim! :P After much trial and error, I'v done up the tag box so its looking all neat and tidy now. I'v got much packing to do since exams ended yesterday! Will update when I get back in Singapore! I have missed home so much :)
