US astronaut Neil Armstrong dead at 82.

The first man to set foot on the moon, renowned US astronaut Neil Armstrong, has died.
From Yahoo.sg, it was being reported that Mr Neil Armstrong underwent cardiac bypass surgery earlier this month after doctors found blockages in his coronary arteries, but he died following subsequent complications. He was 82.

"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."  was his first words upon stepping on the lunar surface

Another nice to read article HERE





RIP Mr Neil Armstrong.

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일)

[Extraction from YouTube]
From 2 years of break, PSY ( Park Jae-Sang ) is finally coming back with his 6th album 'PSY6甲'!

The album's weighty title song 'Gangnam Style' is composed solely by PSY himself from lyrics to choreography. The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy.




My first thought of this video.. The choreography and the dancing, is very funny ! At least to me, even though i dont understand the language. =P 

And then, another Female version, appeared ! The PSY- GANGNAM STYLE - Hyuna Ver. (오빤 딱 내 스타일 ft. 현아) =P


How you find this? 

Do a little search on YouTube, you will find many parody of this song !

Got Singaporean Style (Gangnam Style Parody) somemore !!! HAHAHA!! 


Ehhhhh give me tau huey!!!

Happy Birthday, Singapore !

Finally, a holiday we can look forward to !!

It's the National Day of Singapore !
It is being celebrated every year on 9 August, in commemoration of Singapore's independence from Malaysia in 1965, and a public holiday. 

This year, 9 August is on Thursday, and if you take a off day, or annual leave, you can rest from Thursday, all the way to Sunday ! (4 Days !)

If you asking me, nope, i know of this planning for a long weekends, but i will be working, as per normal. My other 2 colleagues in the department will be on leave, though.
So, someone have to be there. (Yeah.)

By the way, remember to hang the Singapore flag (correctly....)



And i hope i can really get some CASH, the next round.


Count on You, Singapore !

Happy Birthday, Singapore !!

May life gets better, yet much cheaper. Please.

钱作怪





Chinese has a saying : 有錢能使鬼推磨 (Transliteration (pinyin): Yǒu qián néng shǐ guǐ tuī mó.)

Literally: If you have money you can make the devil push your grind stone.
Note: English equivalent: Money talks. Money makes the world go round.
When you work for a company, the boss is good, the job is ok, they pay you enough.
When the company makes $, employees play a part too.
$ should be (if can) shared upon all.

Do not give your employee hope, and then suddenly say you are not sharing the $ or profit the company has.

Unhappy Employee, means unhappy Work.

You pay peanuts, you get Monkeys. 

Happened to bump into a song by Ricky Hui, many many years back...
Listening to it, it is very true.

Money is power

許冠英 - 钱作怪(粤) Ricky Hui

Why in Black and White ?

On Friday night, when i reached home after work, i saw this envelop on my table. 

"Must be bills, to be paid, again..." i thought to myself. 

Truly, it is my mobile bills, from Singtel. 

And this month, they printed it in Black and White. (instead of the full coloured ones like previously.)  



I think they also trying to save Kaya  Gaia, and print in Black and White.
Or they ran out of colour inks. 

Did you receive your bills from Singtel in Black and White, this month, like me too ??

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.

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" ..
