Pop Up blistered happenings

travelling is really my motivation. to explore and to experience but totally need the break also, thus an added boost. the agent confused us with the information, and then options which we cannot choose cos no more vacancy, then cant they leave that option out? crap... my bro apparently cant handle the stress. faint. gg to boycott the agency next time. in the end, departing same date same time, with a slight change in itinerary, with a one day free and easy cos we are skipping 2 POI. i hope we will be dumped in some nice place for us to roam abt. " there is nthing like slinking off on a getaway unannounced". haha totally agreed! thus cant comprehend why pple like to broadcast in facebook. i am just too lazy to type and post on the wall, exactly why i dont link my blog elsewhere like google + or wherever else despite invitations. i dont block others too, it is just somewhere in this big virtual world, if u chance upon it, then u got the info, otherwise u dont miss much as well.

thepopuphotel.com. interesting concept. Whimsical. Slping ard.

Blistered economy. If u believe in shinzo abe, then stock up on yen. for spending next yr or the yr after next. The media is giving him enuff attention, the drive and impact is almost like the antarctica expedition in japan history. Sugoi isnt it.

Sia seems to be in dismay but it is still up-ping its cabin experience. Ive preferred emirates since 2008 yet cant pin point what is better in the cabin, till now it is officially surfaced as sia strongest competitor. the price? Or the first touch screen. Could be. actually they can secure more seats with local travel agencies what. Im seeing a lot of other carriers in the sg packages. Cant they get some gd deals betw the local airlines or those airlines which we have some stake in? There r many factors why pple go for packages. The main focus is the itinerary, usually pple dont bother abt paying abit more for that well planned itinerary. Packaging the airline in cant see that huge increase in the overall price right, and still helping local airlines not to fly empty. how many pple will reject the package cos we r flying by china eastern? Or dunno wat others. I do honestly, oops, esp when i still have a choice, the airline matters leh. if cheap ones, i might as well book separately, why go for packaged tour. But maybe not many others. The price's right, the venue's and timing's right. Nobody bothers abt which airline?

Shldnt sg partner our local companies more, forging stronger alliance and boosting our own profits better? Seems like the same situation of outgoing affluent local students and emmigrants, sgporean expending in other instituitions and countries. If pple have to spend, might as well contain the currency circulation. Like changi vouchers which totally amuses me with the "increased retail". Gd strategy still. That is how japan economy improves also, frm their local spending.

Google plus. All in one. It is actually quite user frenly. The developers have enuff knowledge of what the users want i would say. I think it will soon overtake fb, pinterest, instagram, what others popular ones? soon. Very integrated. V amazing data management. See how short is the foursquare's reign. the idea of "checking in". Fb had integrated that. See how much google plus has consolidated and it is still growing. Jus packaging existing ideas. Even tho im not a fan and a far-from-frequent user of social media, im still awed. I dont bother abt broadcasting what im doing or sharing locations but the trend obviously speaks otherwise. Shrugs.

Defying gravity seeking freedom

自由を求めて
jiyuu o motomete 

sugoi! the japanese version is so nice! Seeking freedom tho. not defying gravity. but implied. imagine the freedom when you defy gravity, ahhh my second wish for superhero abilities after invisibility. seriously flying is the best way to commute, of cos provided that the air space isnt crowded.

誰にも止められない
自由を取り戻すの
恐れはしない

very different from the english lyrics. superb!but this is quite addictive. got to force to switch songs to get my mind off this. keep ringing in my head.

Went to the zoo on mayday with dad who dressed like a sch kid with a cap and backpack, faintz. kawaii otosan. We were stuck at the white tigers' when it rained heavily, fun observing the shiroi tora which became active only when it rained. Before that, they were just lazing on the ground, no movement, just staring back at the bypassers beyond the moat who were busy clicking their shutters away. We braved the drizzle thereafter to the next fenced up creatures which are denied jiyuu. sighz.

hectic work week as usual. but make me more grateful for every respite i managed in betw. will treasure more of every moment that is non work-related and good music just provides the much needed mind relaxation. meetings can be really boring but can be draining too when i start capturing scintillating wit from the various industry players and colleagues. somehow v sceptical thruout the fri mtg. prolly cant be explicit here but really seems obvious enuff. well shall target effortless ride along with the wave.

yayyyy it is the wkend again! wish everyone a great wkend, tho i got to clear some stuff before fully enjoying breaking free. and it is mothers' day again next wkend. initially wanted to just terminate the trip but now hope that it is still on cos v lazy to change plans...argh.. another saga on selling fox and rat meat as mutton...gosh...are the chinese crazy or wat? cant they think straight for a decade?
