In this "small" World of just over 6,000,000,000 people, there are occasional coincidences that amaze me. Like what happened today. There's a long old friend of mine from Bangsar has a husband that for whatever reason has parents who are from my small hometown and for whatever "wind" ended up in a shop that I grew up in selling shoes ;) (Chan Wei Chee... I am talking about you!!! :) Then I started flashing back some memories I had back then selling shoes. Since young. It was really long time ago. But feels like not many "days" ago...

By the time this is published, Aukland has just celebrated the end of 2013!! ;) Writing this entry this year maybe is slightly easier than other years as I look back the entire 2013 probably one (maybe 2) thing happened that dominated my 2013, the year of the Snake. The year this dude came into the World... Something is fishy... Wooot? Enter the Parenthood. You can imagine all you want, read all you can, listen everything possible. Nothing is going to be able to describe "that feeling" when you heard his first cry, in my case shout!. His first movement. His first feed. My first feed. His everything... In fact he is going to be our everything for the time being...

Alrite... It has been many years that I have that privilege call "time" to drive out on a "senyap Sunyi" (quiet and lonely) street of London to take some nice peaceful shots of the London Eye... 2012 2011 2010 NOT ANYMORE!!!
