I feel like I'm reborn...
I'm a free person now. Oh... what a feeling!
Effective from Monday, Aug 22nd 2011 I'm a pensioner. I opted for earlier retirement actually. For now I'm basically a "not-so-old" pensioner so to speak - at least for the next four years before I join my colleagues as veterans!I just want to celebrate life and spend more time with my family, on hobbies and do things I like most - while I'm still here. Don't want to think and talk about work anymore for time being or may be forever as long as I live. Life is too short. I'm going to pick up those pieces of life that I had left behind.
Yesterday was totally a different day for me. The day my life changed forever... It's also the time for me to pack up and go back to the realm I belong ...
Among others, I love nature photography and cycling. I've just finished dusting off my Photographic Equipment and Bikes. Ready to go again - it's neither the final prints after clicking the shutter nor the ultimate destinations when I go cycling that I enjoy - plainly the fun is in the doing in real-time, not just the end results. It is the journey and the adventure that matter.

Will see you all around, probably at usual spots for a cup of tea or something.
I'm just another adventurer, as always...

Several species of local marshland birds and water birds including the Little Egret, the Little Green Heron and Cinnamon Bittern, and migratory birds form Northern Hemisphere have been spotted there.
