Was shocked to hear of the ceiling collapse in the newly opened Jem shopping mall.
The news article reported that there was a leak in a water-pipe led to the Wednesday night collapse of a portion of the false ceiling. I was there few days back...
It was only opened for like 3 months?? Hmm....
The construction was not being done well?? Too rushed for the grand opening?? Hmm....
Anyway, the mall is closed "until further notice". Wondered when is the "further notice"..
Oh well, luckily i was not there last night..

换汤不换药 ( huàn tāng bù huàn yào )
换汤不换药( huàn tāng bù huàn yào ).
In English, i just translate it to : [a change in form but not in content], or Form or Name, may have changed, the content is still the same old one..
Days before, Apple intro their new Iphone 5S and 5C.
The outlook, is looking the same!!
With not much breakthrough to me.. If you consider the finger scanning function as new...
Actually i am looking forward to buying 5C, with different colours, which was rumored to serve the mid-to-low market..
Was thinking that the Iphone 5C would be sold at SGD600 (Without contract) sadly, it is S$848 for a 16GB model, and S$988 for the 32GB model.
WOW.
Suddenly i feel Apple kinda lost that "Magic" after Steve Jobs.
I hope the IOS 7 coming next week, can make me feel better.
Luckily for me, i still have a Samsung S2, somewhere in my cupboard.

You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad...
Attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor toward a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object).
We all have that, just how we show it out to others.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival is around the corner,most shopping centres, should have events selling or promoting their very own mooncakes..
Yummy mooncakes!!
Yes, someone so stingy like me, would be going around the events, doing all the food tasting of them all.
And most probably won't even buy from one stall... =x
That day during shopping trip, i came across one, and yes i did the same, by tasting the ones that they promoted.
Tried two kinds of their mooncakes, and the salesgirl keep pushing others, and kinda forcing you to buy at least one (instead of a whole box of it.. )
Firstly, i tried to walk around, and hopefully she wont pester me. *It did not work.
I triedto be honest and tell her i will look around and be back again later...
And then horror happened !
Her face immediately had a 360 degrees turn into an angry face, and walked off !
Ok, that is Attitude.
I would expect her to smile, and at least say "Thank You".
Oh, well.. she should have expected such situation in her line, but it's rather unprofessional to do so right in front of the customer.
On another day, got an unknown call from some job agency guy.. who keep pestering to do an phone interview.
Nicely i rejected him, and asked him to email me instead..
He was very reluctant to hang up the phone.
I had no choice, this time, i was the one to show my Attitude to him.
"I am sitting right outside my boss office" i replied him.
After saying this, he still did not get the hint, but continued pestering me a few minutes, before ending the call.
Talk about being professional.
Several calls, were being seen on my mobile from the same number that day too. -___-"
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad... Come On, You Know..
We all have Attitude. However, do try to think of how the party receiving it feels, before showing Attitude.

Thank You, Hammy.
Thank you for biting me, when i tried to catch you.
Thank you for welcoming me, when i reach home, looking at me as i opened the door.
Thank you for bringing laughters, during that time when your cage was not being closed properly, and thus you ran out, and around the living room.
However, it was too sudden, that you just left us like that !
Mood changed when the news was being shared to me.
You were still alright, when i went off to work in the morning, right ?
*This photo is taken long ago, when i caught him in a cute sleeping position.
There were 2 x hamsters, now there's only 1 x left. (Guess its about time for the other one too...?)
I love animals, but dont like the truth that they will die and leave us, someday.
Thank you again, Hammy !
Miss you !

2-room HDB flats for singles ?
Came across this article while reading news on the internet.
HDB launches 2-room flats in non-mature estates for eligible singles
An old news, i guess many would have already read it. It reported that for those singels who earn up to S$5,000 per month and are 35 years and above, can buy a 2 room flat, non-mature estates!
If i am not married by then, i might want to get one 2 room flat, plant some plants at the corridor.
I can watch them grow everyday..
Come to think of it, times and rules keep changing nowadays (if you notice..)
There are still a few things, that i truly miss.
I am missing the Dragon Playground near my current void deck, i am sure many would, and the younger people, might not even have a chance to see it, anymore.
Credits to photographer HERE.
Also still trying to find the Primary School friend who was staying few blocks away from me, and we used to send each other Christmas Cards, (Without using stamps, save money!!) through each others' post letter box.
Next, the much often Pasar Malam or Night Market, happening at the void decks.
The nice food, cheap things you can buy... and of course, the famous 燕窝水 (Bird Nest Drink).
This one lah, you got drink before ?? =)
It was even much large scale (Uncle Ringo style) kind of events many years ago.. with the mini rides and mini games...
Nowadays, where got such pasar malam ? Soon it might just die off in Singapore, i predict.
I missed the old HDB kind of life, and events.
So much to miss, but life still have to move on.
Someday, i will also have my own house.
If i do, i wish i can have a big big house, would love my room to look like this!!
And my very own, movie room. ^^
If only, i have the MONEY.
Anyway, if you are looking for a house of your own, try going to iProperty.com.sg!

Cups ?
Was surfing around on You Tube, have you heard of this song before ?
I think i am slow in getting to know this song!
The MTV looks nice though.
Anna Kendrick - Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")'
[Verse 1:]
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle 'a whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?
[Chorus 1:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
[Verse 2:]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
[Chorus 2:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
And of course, people starts making their own version too!
Here are some that i enjoyed.

Run Run Run
Long time since i posted running post.
( Yes, i been lazy, and busy.HAHA! )
Anyway, took part in the Jurong Lake Run 2013, in July 2013.
It was a 10km run, and of a good weather ! ^^
The cheering from the volunteers helped too.
Their "加油,加油。。"
And, of course, the very important Water Points that i aimed to reach, so that i can have some water to drink, and carry on running.
With mixture of runs and walks.. i managed to find the run. *(Timing was not important, finishing the race was.)
Trying to motivate myself at the 9km marking with this photo...
Continued running and, i reached !
Well done, next run soon.
=)

More reading can be found on Yahoo's news article.

His way of shouting and fighting.. That yellow suit..
Some of his best quotes..
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Hail storm in Singapore - Tuesday, 25 June 2013
Past few days, it was pure heat and haze in the air in Singapore.
Today, it finally rained, and a Hail Storm !
And it happened in the west area of Singapore, the area where i am staying. (But i was in office, and did not witness it with my own eyes.)
However along the way home, i did saw trees of the whole road, actually fell. And in turn, causing a little traffic jam.
I took a picture when i alighted at my bus stop. A block signature was found hanging at the opposite block too !
Anyway, check out the pictures people caught over at Stomp.
What is a hail storm ?
Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone Sounds like "raining ice" =P
* * * * * * * *
Since the hail storm happened in the west area of Singapore, ( the area where i am staying ), of course the rain and wind was strong.
Believe it or not, Mum called and informed me that my room got kinda flooded as i did not really shut the windows, and "locking" it.
Yes, i took about 2 hours, to shift my study table, and clean... It could have been longer, luckily mum and dad, helped out!
It was a chance to clear thedirty room. HAHA!
Friends in Singapore, did you witness the Hail Storm today? =)
