End of Reservist ~

Hi all, I'm back to civilian life, after 2 weeks..! =)
It was a tired,and lack of sleep reservist this time around. However my unit did achieve the target we wanted. So, Cheers and our efforts are being rewarded! *Hip Hip Horray!*

Quoted from our unit's motto : "We Can, We Will ! "

* * * * * * * * 
Anyway, how's everyone doing? =)

Today is 16th Jan 2010. In less than a month, it will be Chinese New Year (CNY).
How's your preparation going? This year is rather special as the first day of CNY falls on Valentine's Day.. Its a double blessing! =)

For those married or attached, you all can celebrate the two events together.. how cool is that?


Like what my mum been reminding me since 1st Jan. "You are going to be 30 years old soon.. leh.. got girlfriend already??"

I think i got her hint. It's been some time i bring girl home for dinner.

Yes mum, im working hard on it.... Something are fated. When it happens, it happens. =)



I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR (U2)
 
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds
You loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

24seven Year Eng Blogger Hat-py Party on 30 Dec 2009

I am very honored and happy for being invited to 24seven Year Eng Blogger Hat-py Party event!

I was all prepared to knock off at 5.30pm straight, to enjoy the party, but last minute things happened ! I was caught up at work till 6pm.(Event started at 7pm) So i had to take a cab to Singapore Art Museum.
The meter 'beeped' twice on the way there.Not enough cash, so had to pay with nets..
Want to guess the damage?



But anyway, this is not important. Haha!
I was still on time for the party, Yeah!

They had this band called: Black Diamond Ninjas who performed, and so coincidently, of of them was my reservist mate.Haha!
Here's a clip of them performing last night.



Personally i love such live performance !
If you like them too, join them at their Facebook, ok? =)

I met friends whom i talked to online, i met new friends, i had good food, i enjoyed their performance and activities.. It was nice!

Some photos to share..

My formal celebration for Christmas 2009.

It started with a movie with my friend.
Alvin and The Chipmunks The Squeakquel we watched. I did not watch the first movie, but this second one made me want to go get that. 
It was funny, and cute, especially Theodore! =)



Go watch it!

It was dinner at Jurong Point, Bakerzin, woooo~ the cheesecake!

After this we headed over to Safra K-box, for singing.
Wonder if you know, singing can relieve stress off a person ? Check this article out! =)

We exchanged our presents in the room.



I got a whole package, with a tie, handkerchief, and cuff links. Yeah! =)

Cheers, my dear friends!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2010! =D

Merry Christmas !

It's Christmas today! Merry Christmas everyone! =)
Did not party this year, as worked late on Christmas Eve, and got home 10pm, with a tired body.

So sorry to my friends, i did not make it to the party. =(

* * * * * * * *
Rested at home, the whole day.

It was not easy to have all the family members together at home nowadays, with everyone working, and busy with their own things.
A lucky thing today: Parents, Grandma, Brother and me, were all at home! Since it's Christmas, we decided to have a special dinner.

We ordered Pizza! =)

Delicious looking and, ya.. Yummy!  =)

A music list my friend, Aldrina, did.
Very Christmas feeling! =)


 

Merry Christmas, everyone! =)

Poll Result : Music or not on Blogs ?

After a week, 3 people voted. Haha! Better than none. =)
Results as shown. =)

It seems people still like music to be played on Blogs.
But 1 of them did voted a 'No'.
Some of the reasons i gathered are that the reader is actually already blasting or listening to music on their computer and when they visited blogs, the blog's music was more to a nuisance than music to them.

Personally, i took them off mine and blog seems to load faster. =)
I also shifted and kinda 'renovated' it, will still be fine-tuning it. (Not an expert, am still learning..)

This week is a long week, with me being involved in organizing the company's Christmas buffet lunch and dinner, predicted i have to work till late(I predict 9pm or later..) on 24th, which is Christmas Eve! While some companies are having half day or off day, I have to work. Zzzz..
Might have to forgo the Christmas party my friends invited me to.. got to see the situation on Thursday.

So is your company having half day or off day on Christmas Eve and last day of the year?
Just for info, I have to work full day. =[

In case i be too busy to post this week, hereby wishing my readers, my friends, and all those who knows me a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! =)

My first Christmas Gift from friend for 2009

Another Christmas gift from my friend, last night.
It was chocolates in 'Seashell' Shapes.
Such a sweet girl ! =)

Have you receive yours ? =)

* * * * * * * *

Recently i feel work had been hectic and really had totally drained me out.
Been working here for five years, but things changed a lot this year.
People volunteering to leave the company, people resigning, management style changing...

I can't seem to find the motivation i got previously..

I seem to be dragging myself to work everyday. 
The little voice that tells me : '' Hong Wei, its a good day, today!"
Where did you go to ?


Please come back soon!

I on Today newspaper and got my new 'girlfriend' !

Tuesday, i went onto Twitter, and saw Smith left me a message, saying me and some other Twitter friends appeared on Today Newspaper.

It was Brewerks Restaurant doing an article, and a screen shot of their Twitter account. =)

Want to know where i appeared ?

Click this!

Haha.. i guess only my Twitter friends can find me. Too small a picture to recognize me. =) (hint: the red santa hat)

* * * * * * * *

It was Tuesday night, after work.

I was still not being spared for queuing, in the end still got to queue. Managed to get home like 11:30pm. =/

But anyway, i still got my 'girlfriend' =)

Merry Christmas, Hong Wei ! =)

Weekends

Hi all! How's your weekends? =) I went to the BookFest at Suntec City on Saturday. And i did not know Landy Wen, 溫嵐 was there for an autograph session too! I saw her live some year back in HMV, Orchard. That time she was nicely tanned, and giving out a very healthy sporty girl look. Yesterday, she had this super red short hair.. In case you don't know who she is.. However, personally i like her red short hair, and her singing. =) After this, i went to have a lonely walk around Suntec.. The area around Carrefour was having a Wii event. It can measure the BMI of you, got some Yoga steps to learn, got cycling game, got basketball game, the list goes on... So do you own a Wii ? =) * * * * * * * * I did some changes to my blog arrangement, will still be improving it. Did a poll at the side. It will be there for a week starting today. Topic being : "Do you like music to be played on Blogs ?" I would like to know from my readers. Let me know, ok ? Thank you! =)
