What makes me feel good

I really feel good in the morning and evening, when I commute to work.
I go through among trees, flowers, birds, insects, and sky.
It really makes me feel good when I don't have to walk between buildings and people.

This is one thing I realised about myself since I moved here.

I really should have home where isn't the city....
Anybody got any idea what I can do when I am not in the city???
I am open for your idea!

Photo exhibition





My sweet Thai friend took me to Steve McCurry photo exhibition at Asian Civilisations Museum!
Steve McCurry
Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM)

His flame work and color contrast are absolutely amazing.
The Afghanistan girl was on the cover page of National geographic.


In Singapore, most of the exhibit allows you to take pictures.
Really funny taking picture of pictures.
Oh, well... I am showing my appreciation to the picture by sharing my feeling here.

I hope you visit his web page and enjoy his pictures!!

Exhibition at National Museum; Christian Lacroix's





I went to exhibition at National Museum of Singapore last weekend.
They were having Christian Lacroix's costumes and sketches.

He is French and no wonder France became the fashion leads.
His work was amaaaaaazing!!!
The way he drew, makes it's dresses, the shape and curves.
Fantastic!!!! Really beautiful work!!!

Just looking at the costume would tell everything about the character to belong.
I am so jealous to whom were chose to wear all the dresses!

I really love fabrics and clothes.
I think it's because of my grand mothers and my mom's influence.
I love to dress nice :)

To me, design has to be concluded by logic and sense of balance.
He does great work for sure!!!

Great Singapore Sale!




It's time for all of you to visit Singapore!
They are having this annual "Great Singapore Sale".

I would say, 90% of shops in Singapore are having sale in same way.
And they sometimes do 50-70% off!

Me? I got this T-shirts 50% off at Singapore national museum :)
I can't eat the king of fruit; Dorian so I would at least admire by wearing it!

hahaha.

See you in Singapore!

Flowers




Sunflower really reminds me of my best friend in Germany.
She has this golden smile :)

How are you doing???

TOEIC

People who are not native English speaker should be familiar with TOEIC;

TOEIC

TOEIC® - Test of English for International Communication TM
The global standard for measuring English language skills for business
More than 5 million people each year take the TOEIC tests to advance their careers. And, for 30 years, TOEIC test scores have helped thousands of corporations, educational institutions and governments throughout the world recruit, hire and promote the most qualified candidates.(TOEIC HP より抜粋)


I was bored enough to take little bit of stress from exam, and I got the result today!

My score for listening is 490 which I missed one to be perfect.
My reading... I am not telling the score, but listening and reading total would be about 40 points up without studying for it!

hahaha...

It's got 200 questions and really not the point of English level now for me... it's more about durability!

I just have to say that I started to love English since little and I know I will enjoy learning the words of English in the future too.
I just need to take time; slow learner but constant!

I know I will do better next time.
Cheers to all!
