I just read this post from Marcella Purnama's blog.

And I totally agree. Go take a read :)

By the way, rashes are mostly gone, only tiny harmless bumps left. You can feel it when you touch it, but it's okay.

For those who've been asking how I was, thanks for all the care and concern!
You are a blessing in disguise :D

No, it's not what I am feeling right now. Nor is it based on current personal experience.

But somehow listening to this song made me feel so mellow. Eventhough yeah, I just posted that I felt so happy today.

That's how feelings are super unstable.

I am such a happy person today.

We celebrated Matthew's birthday, more details on upcoming posts.

I played kinect with Ko Nathan, Ko Panda, Anes, and CP.

Each time I get to spend time with friends, I can't help but to feel thankful to Jesus that I have one. Be it school friends or church friends. They're just great :)

But what makes me happiest today is because God reveals a new side of Himself to me.
It's the best kind of happy!
And today, the revelation of Him blows my mind away. Oh Jesus, how can we ever get enough of You?

Lets rephrase a song. Planetshakers' Beautiful Savior. Bridge.

"I will sing forever: Jesus I love You!"

Change that to:

"I will sing forever: Jesus You love me!"

I sang it over and over and over and over again, just that part. Until the revelation of the depth, breadth, height, and durability of His love blows me away. It changed my worship moment entirely. Try it, if you want to :)

Good night!

If you somehow for whatever reason want to get know me better.

Took this personality test after reading about it at Ce Frieska's blog.

And here's my result.

I'm The Dreamer (INFP).

I know most people are more interested about their own results. There's not much point in knowing mine, and reading me writing about myself, since it won't benefit you. Except if you really want to get to know me, or somehow I made all this really interesting. Which I probably didn't.

So If you do read all this, or at least the part where I comment on the quotes, a huge thank you and hug from me! :)

We shall continue.

"INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginative, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal."

Mostly true. And I'm happy since what it says are all good :p Only thing is that I don't think I have a talent for language. I've never considered myself very good at talking. It's sometimes pretty tricky to get my message across. Although I have to admit my social skills are getting leaps and bounds better since the day I accepted Jesus 4 years ago.

And I think my writing skills are just normal. I know friends who really are talented at writing!

"To understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith..."- The Portrait of a Healer Idealist (Keirsey)

I've never made that much of a sacrifice for anyone, I think. But if I were to imagine, I think I really would. As long as I know I made a difference in that person's life, it is worth it. But to a certain extent lah, I wouldn't sacrifice my eyeballs for you or something.

"INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life."- Portrait of an INFP (The Personality Page)

True true. I use my feelings a lot in dealing with people. And yeah, always searched the value of my life, before I met Jesus. And I do believe that everything happens for a reason so sometimes I do overanalyze things.

"creative, smart, idealist, loner, attracted to sad things, disorganized, avoidant, can be overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings..."- INFP Jung Type Descriptions (similarminds.com)

Creative? Thanks!

Smart? Thanks!

Idealist? Most of the time I am.

Loner? Sometimes. Everyone needs to be alone at times, come on.

Attracted to sad things. What does this even mean? I don't like sad things. I don't watch movies with a sad ending. A complete waste of money.

Disorganized. (._. )

Avoidant. True lah true lah I avoid a lot of things (and people) I don't want to deal with.

Can be overwhelmed with unpleasant feelings. Naturally I am. But I've learnt to cast them onto Jesus. Jesus makes everything feel better.

"An INFP's feelings form the foundations of the individual. They are sacred and binding, in the sense that their emergence requires no further justification. An INFP's feelings are often guarded, kept safe from attack and ridicule. Only a few, close confidants are permitted entrance into this domain."- INFP Profile (INFP Mailing List)

Guarded? I think I easily get affected by a lot of stuff. Sometimes I ask Jesus for Him to guard my feelings for me, to not feel things that don't benefit me. Cos naturally, my feelings are so out there, vulnerable towards all sorts of attack and influence.

"Highly creative, artistic and spiritual, they can produce wonderful works of art, music and literature. INFPs are natural artists. They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities. That doesn't mean that an INFP has to be a famous writer or painter in order to be content. Simply the act of "creating" will be a fulfilling source of renewal and refreshment to the INFP. An INFP should allow himself or herself some artistic outlet, because it will add enrichment and positive energy to their life."- INFP Personal Growth (The Personality Page)

True. Each piece of illustration done gives my a huge sense of satisfaction. It is the best.

"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glassworld where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities."- INFP Profile (TypeLogic)

Sense of wonder. I do daydream a lot, imagining scenes of what could have and would happen. I daydream of meeting Jeremy Lin, of him eventually having a crush on me. Of us being a couple. I daydream of what it will feel like to stand on a stage, worshipping God like Hillsong. I daydream of what I would do if every person that I prayed for received immediate healing. Yeah.

But most objects don't come to life. A pillow stays a pillow. But I do like animals. Sometimes I think I can be friends with them.

"Their job must be fun, although not racous, and it must be meaningful to them. They need a strong purpose in their work. They want to be recognized and valued, without undue attention given to them. They may become embarrassed when make the center of attention. As a result, they may undersell their strengths in order to avoid being singled out and made to feel conspicuous. They would rather have their worth be noticed gradually over time."- INFP - The Dreamer (Lifexplore)

TRUE TRUE TRUE. But I think, doesn't everyone want their jobs to be fun as well? And yeah, it must be meaningful. There's no point in earning money doing something I don't enjoy, since working happens for the rest of my life until I reach a ripe old age with a loving husband and caring children to take care of me.

So I'll talk to you real soon! Good night!

27.01.13

Today we had the long awaited TGIJ!!

But before that, I had my audition for TLG Movie. It wasn't as nerve wracking as last 2 years when I auditioned for Mencari Putri. I do want to get a part. A part that I enjoy, and would be friendly with my schedule during filming.

TGIJ was fun!
I was one of the singers, and today we get to sing YOU from Hillsong, which was such a fave of mine! I've been asking God so we can sing the song soon, and turns out we sang it when it was my turn to serve! Great!!

Oh I love that song. My favorite line was, "the worst of me succeeded by the best of You!"
Such a brilliant way of putting God's grace into a sentence. I was having a ball on stage. Having my own good time, my own world with God through that song.

The message by Ko Rai was very naiseee! One thing that really stuck was, don't hold on to your past good things (yes, good, not only bad), cos God has something NEW in store for you! Let go and experience more and better things from God! Yeah!

The game was fun, and my group actually won! Was the first time I ever win anything from any TLG games :D

Then we had this award thing, and Ko Dedi won 'The Most Transformed' award or something of that sort, Ko Daniel won 'The Early Bird' award, and Ko Hendra won 'The Most Pastoral Figure', or something like that. I wonder what Ko Dedi used to be like since he won the most transformed, cos honestly looking at his FB, his looks didn't change much.

Then the 4 leaders received an award each, just for being rad :) Too bad Ko Willy wasn't there.

They provided dinner for us, which was awhsome cos I get to save son my dinner money!
Hung around for a while with some of the SEKIAs after dinner. I really enjoyed being with them :)

Then, I wanted to take an OOTD pic, cos I was wearing my brand new pleather skirt. But in each pic, a certain someone kept appearing. In the end I guess he's the star of the pic :D

After that, I watched Hansel and Gretel with the Nobar people. It was just meh, storyline very predictable. I wouldn't recommend it.

By the way, Ria and I wore almost the exact shade of yellow. We wore a yellow top, a black bottom, and carried a black bag. So we must take a pic.

I enjoyed today. Such a great fruitful Saturday.

See you all around!

How to Follow Blogs!

Blogger used to have this "follow" button, but since now it's gone, here is a short tutorial on how I follow blogs.

1. Go to the homepage of the blogs you want to follow. Copy the URL.

2. Go back to your dashboard. It is what appears when you type blogger.com. It looks something like this.

3. See the "add" button below the reading list? Click it.

4. A window will appear. It looks like this. Paste the URL of the blog you want to follow to the space next to the "Add from URL" option. Click the "follow" button.

5. That's it. You're done! Now, everytime that blog has a new post, it will appear in your reading list. Like a twitter timeline.

It doesn't only work for blogs from blogger. It works for Tumblr and Wordpress as well. Basically any site that has a feed.

I hope this post is clear and substantial enough!

TTYL!

Rashes are still here.

What's most disturbing is that it is up to my finger and on the palms of my hand.

But at least it is getting colorless. The bumps were getting less pink. In fact, the ones on my fingers are nude.

Having all this makes me grateful of my usual skin. Even now, cos I know this is going away. Having bumps on your skin is just not pretty. And not having some part of your body itchy all the time, is really something you can be thankful for.

Didn't realize how nice I had it until this happened. Really, open your eyes. Be thankful not only of what God took you out of, but also what He's protecting you from. There's a lot of stuff you can be thankful for. Simple daily stuff that shows He loves you :)

And so I've decided to go to school tomorrow. Need to catch up with whatever they have been having in store.

See y'all!

An update on my rashes.

I went to the doctor yesterday. She said, I needed to wait for another 1 or 2 days to see if I would develop any fever, or if the rashes would get bigger and bumpier. If either happens, I need to get further treatment. If not, it's possibly just an allergy reaction, though I can't figure out to what.

So, so far no fever. But the rashes are definitely spreading, even to my fingers. And instead of big bumps, it's just tiny little spots. But it's all over my limbs, even to the palm of my legs. And it's annoying cos you know it's hard to scratch that area!

Been skipping school for 2 days. Can't go out with this itching and spots.

But it gives me an excuse to rest at home, which I like :P

Pray for me! Bye!

Happy Birthday Nathan Boenjamin!

SO! Last Sunday was Ko Nathan's birthday. He is 27 now.

Nathan Boenjamin is one of FA Sekia's mentors. Before FA Sekia was formed, we were joined together in FA Anda. When we splitted, the first two mentors that I was told of was Ce Joan and Ko Ceka, which made sense cos we were already close back then.

Then came the news that we were having one more mentor. And it's him.

My first reaction was, but we weren't even that close! There wasn't any objection or anything, but it was just weird for me.

So we splitted from Anda. And for the first few months he never showed up during FA. I was like, is this guy serious?

But then later on I found out he was busy and stressed with musical. Apology accepted.

Time passed by, and he started coming to FA. And as Sekia grew, so did he.

I didn't realize it until there was one point where I needed to talk to someone about something, and Ghon and Ce Joan wasn't around. And oddly, the next person who came to mind was him.

I was taken by surprise by my own thought. Sure we know each other but I never really talked to him about any of my personal dilemmas. For him to pop up in my mind at that time comes to show that I somehow trusted him, and that I somehow feel that he would listen, though I may not realize it yet.

As I got to know him better in FA, I can feel that he cares about us, his kids. Though he lives so far away (Pioneer), he very seldom misses FA (which was usually held at Novena), and always hangs out with us after YRC. And sometimes we end quite late. Which means he would travel back alone for like what, an hour?

He listens when we share, and he doesn't judge. And that's what most people need: someone who would listen. He has a heart longing after God. In our early days, he always spoke of how he longs to have a closer relationship with God.

Though honestly, the 'mentor' side of him isn't that obvious for onlookers to see yet (cos he was always joking and stuff), but I know he is growing to be a great one! You (or I) can somehow see it. He has a heart for the kids. He lives a simple life with no drama. I've never heard him talk bad about anyone. Something most females needs to learn to do, right?

Most of all, the kids love him :) Who would've thought?

And the result of that can be seen on Sunday, on his birthday.

We've been talking about giving him a makeover for the longest time. He always wears this too-big clothes with a too-big jeans or pants. And his hair. Bieber hair. Just longer.

So we arranged this plan for his birthday. Buy him new clothes, and give him a spanking new haircut!

We told him to spend the whole day of his birthday with us, and he agreed.

When I joined them after lunch, they were in ZARA, picking clothes for him. He was going in and out the fitting room, with a bunch of people waiting around. We were really a huge crowd in the quiet Zara. Like 15 people?

They told me that throughout the day, they will be making Ko Nathan do a series of dare. First one happened before I came to ZARA, and that was making him ask a random girl's number. And just so happens that the girl he chose was with her boyfriend. I have no Idea what he was thinking.

Before (or after?) the dare.

Back to ZARA. After all of us agreed on a pair of shirt and trousers, we went to pay and walked to Wheelock to give him a new haircut.

But before that, he has to do MORE dares. We made him scream "TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!", and after gathering some courage, he actually DID it!! Like really scream in the top of his lungs, in the middle of Orchard Road!! It was such a sight! Brave guy.

Then, there was this Google crew interviewing people (and I was interviewed! Woohoo!) and turns out one of them was Indonesian! So we made Ko Nathan ask for her number, which was fun to watch! And the Indonesian crew, whose name was Olivia, cooly plays along. She gets it that we are daring him, and for that we thanked her so much! In the end Ko Nathan managed to ger her email. Banzai!

After all that, we went to the salon and we asked the hairdresser to give him this hairstyle. We didn't let him know yet, so it was a surprise for him. So throughout the whole thing, he has no idea what he's going to get :D

So Ko Nathan went through the process of hair cutting.

Looks like he's enjoying it(?)

The last minutes of his old hair.

Snipping in progress..
The hairdresser specially requested for herself not to be in the frame!

Hair drying in progress.

Managed to catch this expression of him. (Lol)

Styling..

While he was getting his haircut, some of us (me not included) went to buy a bag for him at Pedro.

After he was done with his haircut, we made him change into the ZARA outfit, plus the bag, and behold, here is Nathan 2.0!!!!!!

The old has gone, the new is here!

Nathan 2.0: To infinity and beyond!

Hair: Before and after.

Style: Before and after (on that day, at least)

We had a small photoshoot session, where we made him mimic his old photos.

And here comes the cake!! Happe Birthday, Nate-Ben!

The cake cutting proceeded (the one cutting was Ce Joan, not him -.-), and the first cake was supposed to be for Ko Andri, but since they wanted a female so I got it. Haha!!

Then, we prayed for him. And after the final amen, we opened all out eyes and to our surprise, a security guard was standing there, chasing us away. Then Ci Joan was like, "don't you know this was illegal?" I was like -.- no.

Turns out any religious activity (including obvious group praying) is illegal in business centers. Or somewhere of that kind. Now you know, and I've just made you more knowledgeable of the laws of our beloved Singapore.

So we shifted away to take our group photo.

Mimicking his "to infinity" pose.

Had to take a pic with the man of the day, right?
He stood on the pavement, btw. That's why he's taller.

Yeah! Nathan 2.0!! Notice his foot! Jinjit!

Lia asked him from the scale of 1-10, how happy was he? He said it was a 10.5. I was like, awwww..... :P But I'm glad he liked it.

Now please please Ko Nathan, style your hair when you go out!! And no more baggy clothes and baggy jeans!!

And have a wonderful 27th year old!! :D

Thriller.

This morning I woke up and the first thing I realized was that the back of my right thigh was itching so bad. When I touched it, it was all bumpy as if thousands of mini mosquitos had bitten it. I quickly took a look in the mirror, and it was a patch of huge bumpy rash. Actually I don't know if I would call it a rash. It's more like a group of tiny bumps.

Holy mother I was creeped.

I have never seen stuff like that before. More so on MY OWN body.

I put loads of medicine on it. Wore skirt when I went out so that my thighs has room to breathe, also so that the cream won't rub off unlike if wearing pants, and the skirt was the perfect length to cover the thing.

Not long after I left home, I realize my hands was itchy as well. I took a look and it was horror. The bumps were on my right hand as well!! *horror movie backsound

It was like watching some slow motion invasion, when invaders are slowly taking over areas of the invaded. It spreads, and I watched it spread the whole day.

I thought it would go away by night time. But it didn't. It kinda got worse. The bumps shrunk into pink dots, and it is everywhere. It was seriously creepy.

So I'm skipping class tomorrow. Am going to the doctor. Mom says it's probably some allergy.

Throughout all this, God reminded me, that my battle isn't fighting the disease, whatever it may be. It is staying restful, keeping my mind out of worry. For no matter what I see now, my status is HEALED, for He paid the price two thousand years ago. My battle is keeping my eyes put onto Him and His finished work, and not whatever this is that is happening to my body.

It really was scary at first. But in the end, Jesus always prevails. My body still itches. But my heart is at peace, amazingly :)

Just repainted my nails. It's a calming and therapeutic thing to do.

From my shocking pink that I've been wearing this past week, to a metallic dark grey! Excuse the wackiness, you know me.

But then I realize that the paint on my right thumb and pointer will be chipped very very soon. For tomorrow I shall my practicing bad for my guitar lesson with Chilwin.

My left fingers literally have calluses due to pressing hard on the guitar strings, and yesterday it was violet in color.

Cool :)

This song has a beautiful message, though I don't agree completely.

Still, it's a beautiful song.

Life is full of uncertainties. But things that are not happening the way I wanted it to, I take it as God protecting me, saving me for the best possible.

Happy Saturday, people :)

Guitarist coming up!

I really wanted to learn how to play a guitar.

I'm so sad that my parents forced me to play piano instead of the guitar. IMO, guitars are cooler. Sorry for all the piano players out there. I'm sure a lot of human kind prefer piano as well.

I tried self training and I realize I am going nowhere.

Tried to get help from some church friends but it never gets serious.

So I came to my trustee old friend. Amazing guitarist who used to serenade us DOP to bed 6 years ago.

The amazing *drumroll*

REAL MAN KAKAK KANDUNG!

We had our first lesson last night and it was EXTREMELY helpful. Like, really.

So now I shall practice the strum pattern he told me last night while listening to a sermon DVD about wisdom.

TTYL!

Really, read someone's blog and you can find out some essential matters about a person. Not their problems or their looks, but their attitude and response to it.

For me, reading someone's blog can totally change my mind about a person.

Some types in such melancholic way all the time, complaining here and there, that after reading their post you feel gloomy. Shows how they view life.

Some type is such simple manner, while others extravagant in their vocabs. I don't have any preference, as long as it is smart and interesting. Some bloggers and friends that I follow, they are really gifted in writing. Each sentence just leaves you wanting more.

I know someone who posts non-stop about this girl, his love interest. Shows his priority of life?

Some tries to be cool, which is fun to watch.

But anyway. You have no rules, it is completely your space.

But yeah. Read someone's personal blog. You might really learn a lot about a person.

Happy Wednesday!

The United Kingdom part 4 | Tate Modern

And so I shall continue my story!

So, day 2. Me and the class were scheduled to go to Tate Modern and St. Bride's library. Tate modern is a large gallery where exhibitions by (supposed to be) world-renown designers and artists are held, and St. Bride's is one of the oldest library there, known for its printing history.

Had breakfast at the hostel, and left. This is what our hostel looked like from outside :)

Ready for the day! The view of the street across as my background.

Huyen was busy taking pics as well.

Pretty girl!

After our mini photo session, we walked down to Queensway station, which was a few blocks away.

OOTD of this 2 ladies(?)

The interior of the train there is so much different then our MRTs. Their seats were soft and covered with velvet covers. And their paint was chipped everywhere.
It's true that our MRTs are way cleaner, but as Zee put it, there is a "touch of humanity" there. Each stroke tells a story. The whole imperfection tells a story.

The cushioned and colorful seats.

There, chipped paint.

Me being me, I was disgusted at first. Sat at the very tip of the chair. But in the end got used to it.

And Huyen carried her DSLR the whole day. Power.

We alighted at St. Paul's station.

They stand on the RIGHT side of the escalator. I needed to get used to this.

Zee! To the right!

From the station, we needed to walk quite a bit to Tate Modern.

The view right outside the station.

On our way there, we made quite a few stops to take a few(?) pictures. It was such an adventure!

We walked pass this thing. At first I thought it was a chapel or something. But no.

It was an office.

It's an office! Can you believe it? It was so pretty!

It has this well-like looking thing. I don't know what this is.

The yard.

Some school kids were having a field trip that day :)

So after that random office, we needed to walk pass this alley towards St. Paul's Cathedral. It is a beautiful cathedral, more details later!!

I was the map reader by the way. I got 99/99 for the Navigation category in my psychotest during highschool :D

St Paul's Cathedral is right in front!

Sinead.

Zee loves Starbucks and had been craving for it for days. So when we finally saw one, we had to stop.

I bought their Signature Hot Chocolate.

So we continued our walk to Tate Modern with a cup of warm Starbucks in hand :)

We needed to go through St. Paul's Cathedral to reach Tate Modern. You bet, more photo taking needed to be done!

Wanted to take a pic of the road, but was blocked by my scarf,
and was too lazy to take another pic. So there you go :)

Unauthorised persons shall be 'removed'.

Their side entrance. Or maybe it's their office?
Cos there's another bigger entrance at the other side.

Again with the architectural details of buildings of the United Kingdom.

John Wesley, Priest Poet Teacher of the Faith.
Never heard of em.

Windows..

IMO, it looks a tad scary.

The yard.

Sinead in front of this house(?) Maybe it's where the priests live.

Tadah!!

Now this is the main entrance!

We didn't go into the cathedral at that point. We did go in, but later after the St. Bride's trip. So for now, we just passed it.

Feli's face.

Another statue of donno who.

The road across the cathedral.

Towards Tate Modern!

Passed this cute looking building :)

Salvation Army!!! INTERNATIONAL headquarters!! Thinking that they have a branch here at Bishan..

To reach Tate Modern, we needed to cross this bridge.

Tales from the bridge.. Didn't read it.

Tate Modern within reach!

The view.

Wind wind blow~

The girls :) Should have photoshopped myself there!!

People locks padlocks on the railing.. I wonder what each one has to tell :)

Found this one.. So beautiful :)
I bet there is some romantic story behind this one.

So after lots of photo taking, we finally touched down at Tate Modern! It doesn't look much from the outside, really.. Like some kinda factory.. But it's a place where a lot of designers would want to go to.. So I am blessed to be there! :)

Finally.. TATE MODERN!!

Smile smile~

First photo IN Tate Modern.. Is taken in the toilet..

Everyone minding their own business..

So there were a lot of exhibitions inside. Not knowing which one to go to, we decided to join the tour. Others who joined were mostly old folks. The tourguide himself was old.

And so we toured!

I could not understand. But it looks nice.
Love the dark grunge feel of it!

Two birds hit by an arrow.

The uncle on the right was the tourguide. He worked there for some 30 years, if I'm not mistaken.

Art.. art.. It has journeyed through a lot of different country.
Tate Modern in London is just one of its stop :)

This I really do not understand.
It was something about labor and creating tools..

When you see through the hole, there was some sort of light tunnel..
I can't describe, but it was alright. Not that cool not that uncool.

After some time, we realize that the stuff the tourguide had been showing us was not related to graphic design. It was more towards fine art. So we separated from the group and went our own way.

There was a small cubicle for the viewers to interact. There were papers for us to draw our interpretation of the title. Here's what I drew.

A quote from Dali on the wall of the cubicle.

Went out of the small cubicle to another floor, we found more interesting stuff. Another exhibition which is more modern and contemporary.

It started off with this set. I think it's supposed to resemble some shack on a beach or something.

There was this small display. Zoomed in on that thing on the right..

..and it was a maid sweeping!! It must have some meaning which I am too lazy to ponder on.

Another set. An office? It was a set of three, this was the left portion.

Middle portion. A sink and mirror.

Right portion was a tent. Have no idea what this whole thing means.

There were more stuff, but I didn't take photos of them all.

So outside of the exhibition room was this wall. It was a timeline, stating all the arts movements and characters throughout the years. Pretty awesome!

Nope, he isn't someone I know.

Toilet break. Took some pics for you as well :p

A no cover closet.

Lol!

So that was it for Tate Modern, cos we needed to head back to the cathedral to meet with our friends to go to St. Bride's library. We passed this huge space on our way out.

On the right was their bookstore.

Ladies~

Outside, the weather was sunny yet cool since it was autumn. A weather you won't get in Singapore.

Pretty trees!! It really was so pretty.

Teenage boys. Too bad younger guys won't do for me.

The bridge we passed previously, from another angle.
You can see the cathedral! It was huge.

Right before taking the pic above, I remembered there was a guy singing just by the road. His voice was awesome!! I have no idea why I didn't snap a pic of him.

It was about to rain on the left side! Some snack sellers on the right.

The Salvation Army headquarters again.

Some odd looking statue. And Zee.

Another statue. I think those are list of names of their heroes?

We still had a little time for a quick lunch, so we went to this cafe called Apostrophe. They sell baguettes and stuff. It was a pretty cafe, and I loved their branding!
