My rants

It's been a year. . On 1st Mar 17, I moved from the Republic of Singapore Air Force to Singapore Airlines. After almost 5 years of regular service. . It was more than a job. It was my second home, almost literally. It was good training. Definitely not physically, but rather, mentally. I've had the fortune of learning from great mentors, fantastic peers, and experienced colleagues. . I won't miss the job, but I'll most definitely miss the people. . Blue skies, always.

When you're trudging along the never ending railroads, and the light seems so far away, . Maybe look up, peer into the darkness and enjoy the beauty you never noticed. . #lookatthestars #welcometothedarkside

#tbt to the desert work trip late 2017 . While I was technically in the #desert where old aircraft were parked, I didn't actually see any wide expense of sand. Except when I drove 8 hours to this national monument. . The white sands monument is essentially alot of #sand. Kind of like what I imagined the view to be when I stepped out of the plane, not after an 8 hour drive and 25 bucks entrance fee.

The #Riddler doesn't approve of #buskers. . Tbt to the last work trip of 2017. Not sure when I'll be able to go for the next work trip, but thankful that I was able to get a few trips in my first year. . Taken at Hollywood, where people were dressed up in costumes to charge tourists for pictures, and Justice League premiered.

2017 had been an eventful year. It also marked a new phase of life in several ways. . Started at a new job. Threw a wedding banquet (and thus got married). Planned, renovated and moved in to our own place. Gotten inked, and left the twenties behind. . Looking forward to a fulfilling 2018. . 📷:@bobbykiranyeo

Taken at a diner just a couple of weeks back, when I was at #roswell New Mexico, home of the aliens, for a work trip. . Little did I know that I would be heading back there in just a couple of hours. . Why can't aircraft graveyards be in less #鸟不生蛋 places?

Asam #laksa at Penang again. This time, it was raining the entire day. Lucky Uber is pretty darn cheap.

One of my favourites in #saigon, BanhMi. A short French loaf stuffed with meat, veg, cheese, and egg. A street #Subway.

Chilling at one of the hipster #cafes in Saigon, drinking an interesting Coconut coffee, and finishing the fantastic #book - When Breath Becomes Air. I highly recommend it. #cafehoppingsaigon

#tbt to Saigon's Jade Emperor Pagoda. One of the many small enclaves where people #pray to different deities. This particular one is to the goddess of fertility.

#Birds are sold in cages to Temple devotees, who release them. 放生. According to the Vietnamese student I was with, the bird sellers catch the birds again, and the cycle continues. This is the Jade Emperor Pagoda in Saigon, which has influences from Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

Bicycles at the void deck. Unfortunately we don't see large open void decks being built anymore. . No more void deck soccer, block catching. . #hdbliving

Arrival, the Movie

2017-01-13T09:10:00.003-08:00

*spoilers*

1. "Kangaroo" means "I don't understand"

2. The UFOs bend light so they don't cast shadows, or perhaps shadows are too hard to render

3. You'll never understand a woman's mind

4. The actions of a few can impact many

5. Communication, the bridge

6. We, especially engineers, think in terms of continuum, a scale that might not necessarily be linear, but starts and ends.

7. We experience time linearly, but recall experiences discretely.

All in all, a very thought-provoking show.

#tbt the 5 hours spent exploring the other side of the modern, high rise, luxurious #dubai. #Ablution is a cleansing with water or other liquids, especially as a religious ritual. There were mosques at every corner, big and small, elaborate and minimal.

Penang street style fried noodles, left hand char kuay tiao. Mini portions, long queue, and an occasional fiery showmanship. #streetfood

Leaking #pipes on the way to the outlet mall at Orlando, Florida. Was there for a Helicopter Aerodynamics course, that got cut short as the lecturer unfortunately suffered a stroke. Do hope he is doing OK now.
