USA EAST COAST '15

Today is New Year Day 2016. My new year resolutions for this year: 

Good health - keep fit and keep myself healthy. Watch my diet and take frequent walks.

Family - have a blissful family. 

Work - There are changes to my work environment this year. I hope this year will be great for me!

Be thankful for all that I have, for being born, raised and now live in Singapore.

Be thankful for all the people around me.

Be thankful that I'm able to live to this day.

And finally, life is short, so live in the moment. Embrace every day as it comes.

Yup. That's my new year resolutions. Now on to my New York trip.

2 flights and a day later, I arrived in New York City.

I always take many photos on my trips because photos help me to preserve and relive all my happy memories, even after returning home. And because I'm unlikely to visit the same place again twice. There are exceptions. Places that I have went twice: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Belgium, Amsterdam. My travel philosophy is: to see as many places in my lifetime as possible. To find out more about other cultures, people, surrounds. The world is ours to explore.

Enjoy..
