Last Saturday before the elections results, I woke up from my nap in the late afternoon and decided to go out alone to the Punggol beach. People who do not know my hobby would have thought that I’m crazy. Fancy travelling so far from Ang Mo Kio to Punggol just to see the beach!

Well, there’s only one real reason why I travelled so far to a place where there isn’t any entertainment, good food, or even life in there. I was there for a photography session.

Although this place was quite deserted, and has nothing more to offer except rocks, sand and water, I felt a sense of tranquility as I started to compose and shoot my pictures. This is the perfect place for anyone to visit during the weekend, to relax and rejuvenate the worn-out mind and body that has suffered so much during the past week at work.

In life, we don’t always need to have extravagant demands to make ourselves happy or comfortable. Simple hobbies like photgraphy, playing music, etc, have given much meaning into my life. These are the things that could help me loosen up when I’m tired, and help put my troubles aside momentarily when I’m too stressed.

Well, I have found my formula to de-stress myself from the fast-paced society. Have you too?
