10.30am
Science Centre Singapore (Also Dinosaur Live!)
It was nice to be back again in Science Centre after more than a year ago being attached there for 3 months. A lot of new exhibitions but fail to find exhibitions that we designed during those 3 months. The Dinosaur exhibition was pretty cool.



2.00pm
Long John Silver at Causewaypoint
A brunch! Snap a few pics~






2.40pm
Cathay at Cause Way Point (The Chronicles)
It was okay. There's too much effects and I find the first part a bit boring. The last part though was pretty intense.



4.10pm
Woodlands Regional Library
All the authors or title that I know or heard of is not around. Long time no borrow books so I decided to borrow a few books.

I could sleep all day, in this weather
You can't take this away, better try harder
I'm only gonna stay this way, so why bother
If you just don't care, it's gonna be better

I think I've been posting a lot of serious posts.
Let's post some happy and interesting stuff.
It's been such a long time since I last post any widgets, videos or pictures.



So here's a few Korean pop/ballad music with poetic lyrics and/or symbolic video. (They are really hard to come by!). -Decided to embed for convenient purpose.

Cleansing Cream - Brown Eyed Girl


The Grasshopper Song - Sunny Hill


Turned Off The Tv - LeeSsang


Irreversible - GaIn



Also don't forget to check out Epik High, W Whale, Mighty Mouth, Norazo music videos. I think Korean hip hop artistes have some of the best MV, most probably because they don't dance in them.

Waiting for a company or an organization to reply takes forever. Usually I got one reply among ten job applications that I send. I really had enough of staying at home being an unemployed bum.

I realize that there is a rise of fashionable Hijab and it is not all that bad. I really wonder why it is frowned upon when they are doing it for a good cause. They are promoting the wearing of Hijab to those who think that wearing a Hijab would be a backward-thinking thing to do.

Quoting from http://www.streethijab.com

Some might say that the recent expansion of Hijab fashion has distorted the image of Muslim women nowadays, but I honestly cannot agree with that opinion. It's useful to remember the original vision and mission of hijab attire - - that the hijab was an essential obligation for Muslim woman, while fashion was only nothing more than a peripheral factor. The image and self-image of a Muslim woman is formed by her own heart, her attitude, and her worship, rather than by how she looks. Our efforts to look nice in public, and at home, with stylish hijab are merely an added extra, to seek validation or appreciation in of the eyes of others in social contexts.





With that being said, I am not a fashionable hijabi. I'm always have been wearing the classic headscarf for that is what I am comfortable with. Besides I always liek to go for the cheaper option in my dressing. But I would like to wear stylish hijab on special occasions. I've been looking at image and video tutorials on how to wear the pretty ones. These are a few hijabis to look out for..
