A new Toy..

I got myself a new toy !!

What was it ?



I got myself an alarm cum radio machine ! =P
Tested it already and the radio function was not bad, and the alarm looked nice.

Buying things to reward yourself a bit.

Don't make life so difficult for yourself.

"Love More, Waste Less"

Everything is of Money in Singapore. 

Now MacDonald's joined in the gang. 

We are being charged for sauces.... 

It is all in the direction of not wasting... 

Are sauces being charged in other countries too?
Hmm hmm....
Share with me, if it is so.. ?

Garden by The Bay

A few friends and i decided to join in the group of people with huge curiosity on what is Garden By The Bay.
We visited it.

Knowing it cost quite a bomb to build, and sure that it will be overcrowded,  i was still quite excited to find out how nice the place was...

When  i reached, the very first thing i saw, is this...



I heard that it will be lighted up, at a certain timing during evening time. Did not stay to watch it.. =x

Scenery around, was quite nice... Although it was drizzling on Sat, it was still quite crowded... 

A simple summary of some of the interesting flowers i saw, along the way... 

We only ventured the "Free" zone of the place.

Most of the areas of the garden are free, but to visit the two conservatories and the OCBC Skyway, individuals would have to pay SGD 28 to visit two conservatories, and SGD 5 for the Skyway. Children pay SGD 12 and SGD 3, respectively.

Some more interesting things......



And i realized i was standing on top of the water area....



My personally favourite photo i took. =) 

I was also trying to see if there was any stray dog, who would attack my friends or even me.. but they did not appear...

My summary of the place : -

• Personally i don't feel its worth it to pay, to get into the air conditioned area. 
• It is over crowded.
• The is only one water cooler area, which is near the toilet of the Garden Admission ticketing area.. (Nicely planned out?) 

Let's see how long the flowers, can last..... and the place to be invaded by "our foreign friends" .. 

Short trip away at sea..

Hi All, How was your weekends? =)

Mine was filled with fun, and alot of food. Ex colleagues and i went on a short cruise on Star Cruise, Super Star Virgo.

It was my first time on a cruise, therefore, there was much to look forward to. If you have been on a cruise, and from what i heard from friends, and my parents, there is never ending of eating. 

And it was true. 

There was like never ending flow of buffet while on the cruise. (HAHA!) 

I was helping out in the checking in process, as it was a big group. 

I even went back to my kids time !

I can still sit inside, hor ! =P 

Since we only got a night to spent, we really eat, and played till very late (3am), making full use of the time. 

It was a relaxing trip, and its back to work again tomorrow. 

See you soon, weekends!

Same Song, different models

I was browsing aimlessly on the internet.

Was at a forum, titled "what song are you listening to now?"
Clicked a few of them, and then i found this song.

The Original version.


The Sexy female cheerleaders version.


The Hot guys version.


Which one do you like?

=P

Where is the Singapore i used to see ?

The most recent talk in Singapore.

‘Ah Lian’ vs auntie clash in MRT quarrel. 

The 'Ah Lian' give up the seat, the Auntie keep nagging.

Someone posted on Facebook.
I name this the KNN Uncle.
After that i realized this video might be of long time ago.


Sometimes, we give up seat, we hold the lift door, or the door for people. The person receiving it, does not say Thank You, or smile back. It becomes a situation that i must do that task for you. 

Was it due to the education... we forgot our very basic morale education ?

Hit the top prize

It was a busy and stressful work week.

I was dragging myself to work, on a hot Friday morning.

I bumped into my neighbour (staying opposite me.), and we chatted a bit, before wishing a Good Day at work, to each other.

As usual, as normal, as per scheduled, i took the same route, to work.

This time, it was different.

While walking out of the void deck, someone threw a plastic pail down.
It landed about 5 steps away from me.

I shouted "wah" , ran out, and stood there looking up the block. I dont know who did it.

It became the first tweet of the day on my Twitter.

Wah piang eh! Someone throw down a plastic pail down my void deck. I was just 5 steps away.

If i wasn't chatting with my neighbour, the pail would have hit my head.
Although it was a rather small pail, the impact would still be there.

And some news article about killer litters.

The hot weather..

It has been rather hot and humid for a few days, in Singapore.

People started falling sick. (My father was one of them,who fell sick.)

The surrounding been too hot, we hide in the super cold air conditioned office, and there is high chance of falling sick.



I'm so hot.. Nan neomu yeppeoyo.... *clap clap*

Even my cute hamster, fainted. (HAHA!)

The strange Uncle

The strange Uncle.

The other day, i was in a toilet cubicle, the next cubicle uncle beside me, was swearing and cursing over his phone (while doing his business.)

He was scolding, and saying or rather complaining to his friend over the phone.


Funny thing, he was even resting his feet on his slippers. And caught by my mobile camera.

I know i am rather bad to take his picture.

I am thinking, will i behave like him, 20 yeas later....
Or am i already behaving like that already....

Hmm ... Hmm ...

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday !

No to me, but to my army friend's cute cute daughter, Alivia!
It was her one year old birthday, and a nice party was being organized by her dear parents..!

The couple went along to book a ball room in a club, and a few of us went a little early to help him out with the decorations.. and running around. (of course eating the buffet.)

It was more of a "kids gathering".

There was ballon sculpting, and face painting. Somehow, well liked by the kids that day.

I enjoyed helping out, and watching the Toy Story 3 on the projector, which we played. =P



Uncle Hong Wei, wish you happy always, and be good to your parents in future ok? =)
