I've never been to Tasmania but here's why it's a destination on my list.

1) Scenery that puts you in awe
Cradle Mountain
2) Adventure
Tasmania is no lack of outdoor sports to try your hand at but what's unique, mysterious and definitely thrilling is the ghost tour of Port Arthur, ruins of a convict site. Have you read my post on outrageous prison demands?
3) Exotic Animals
The orange bellied parrots are endangered and found in Melaleuca.
Orange bellied parrot chicks.
Wildlife can be found, not necessary in zoos or parks. Look at this giant squid washed up on Tasmania's shores in 2007. Imagine if you met one while diving...
The chance to win a $10,000 holiday for 2 is ending on Friday!

In 100 words or less, Express your Love for whatever it is that you love and win!

I LOVE CHINESE NEW YEAR!
It's a season of non-stop eating, feasting, socializing and counting money.
And i swear i once saw "cum" labelled on one of the Lo Hei ingredients bought from Carrefour and we had a laugh. I can't find that picture i posted before now!!


Chinese New Year is my favourite season for it's a period of cherishing relationships and gathering of dozen relatives from all corners of Singapore. One occasion for capturing silly pictures like this!
Taken by Instagramer Debbie that made her granny go viral and famous!


And when one is bored staring into space while visiting a relative's house? You do stop motion!

Live, Laugh, Love.

Advertorial

Often, we get too caught up with our daily routines, our jobs, and our duties that life seems to be all about work, work and more work.

This week it had been a low point because of work stress. I had to pull myself out of the rut by remembering to live.

Living is about taking the time to smell the roses.
Every October, Tasmania has a Spring Tulip Festival.

Living is about not worrying and fearing about the unknown future, it is about focusing the good of the moment. Feast and wine, take joy in how minute your problems are compared to others who are less fortunate than you.
Every late February, strawberries, raspberries, apples and nashi pears are in season. Pick your own fruit in the farms of Tasmania!

Then I remembered to laugh. Mark Twain once said, “The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”

Laugh when you face people who dislike you, they are only jealous.
Laugh when you face stress, it will soon be over.
Laugh when you’re embarrassed, it’s creates a life story you can tell.
Laugh when everyone else isn’t, they’ll want to be able to laugh like you do.
There are also the people that I love and I reminded myself that life is not about work but the people on Earth we are meant to make a difference to. There are more priorities in life than it is about being in the rat race, and that priority is to live, laugh and love.

I love my family and I love my friends. I need to take time to nurture relationships, take time to speak to people and for once, not be updating my Twitter, Facebook or Blog. Life is not a constant status update, but about sharing experiences in person, in real time.
I definitely need that breather, find a perfect place to rekindle love & when you’re kinda strapped for cash to get a holiday, you use your wits to win one!
