Blog Entryfinally a non-important email.Jul 23, '08 7:52 AM
for everyone

finally something that didnt quite require my action pop into my inbox flooded with emails.

well. at least it got me smiling and a minute off from killing my brain cells.

 

A family in the Southern Province of China, were puzzled when the coffin of their dead grandmother arrived from the States. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no Space left in it! When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top; which

Read as follows:

 

Dear Cousins,

 

I am sending Ah-ma body to you since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in Tung Shin. Sorry, I cannot come along as all of my paid leaves have been consumed. You will find inside the coffin, under Ah-ma's body, 12 bottles of Yomeishu, 10 packets of Swiss chocolates and packets of Chinatown Lap Cheong.

 

Please divide these among all of you. On Ah-ma's feet you will find a new Pair of Nike Air shoes (size 10) for Ah boy. Also, there are 2 pairs of Shoes for Ah Mei's and Ah Lien's sons. Hope the sizes are correct..

Ah-ma is wearing 6 CK T-Shirts. The large Size is for Ah Bak and the others are for my nephews. Just distribute them among yourselves. The 2 new Armani Jeans that Ah-ma is wearing are for the Boys.

The Rolex watch that Lee Ah Bai wanted is on Ah-ma's left wrist. Aunty Pei Pei , Ah-ma is wearing the Tiffany necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white Polo cotton Socks that Ah-ma is wearing must be divided among my teenage cousins.

Let me know what else you need as Ah-Kong is also not feeling well nowadays. I can send all required things when our Ah Kong goes back too...'

Blog Entry10/7 to 13/7 (HongKong)Jul 15, '08 11:41 AM
for everyone

hongkie tong land ! 10/7 to 13/7

it's my second time this year and i came back with tons more of shopping. haa. when it comes to that im never that bad. MTR makes travelling all so easy. actually travelling in hk is just like in S'pore. It so easy to get ard and you just need to know where and what u want to do.

we were stayin at causeway bay. aint a hotel but a cheap apartment that a fren of mine recommended me not long ago. $75 per room per night for 2 person. why not ? anyway we are there to shop so it doesn really matter...the low part ? got to be there only a single toilet. imagine 8 of us took turns to shower...haaaa. 2hrs before everyone got out of the apartment

it got even worst when the person before u was doing big time in the toilet..haaa.

hk isnt just about shopping. it also about eating !! the first thing we got our hands on when we landed is nothing but krispy kreme donuts ! haaaa.. famished. once we got settled down in our apartment, we went out searching for dimsum and other delights. roasted goose, wanton noodle, breakfast toast, porridges and many others.... we just went on and o and never did stop. haaa.. i had tons of milk tea when i was in hk.

day 2 ----> macau

got up as early as 6am and took turns to shower. we wanted to spend the whole day at macau ! got ferry tickets and took the 55min turbojet all the way to macau.

first stop - venetian

it prove to be an awesome sight. i just couldnt get enough of it .

we didnt just stop there. we went on to check out wynn & mgm grand. i was lucky on this trip, perhaps the only lucky one.... i won at the casino. perhaps the red brief that i wore actually did help.

macau is also not just about gambling........ it does have it fair share of nice food and shops. take a look at senado square and you find sometime nice to take home.

we manage to find time and climb up to check out the ruins of st.paul. i was sweating like a pig under the hot weather....but for a nice photoshoot. i just did it with alicia nagging at me....hur hur hur.

[ nightlife ]

it was said that lan kwai fong was the place to be. hmmmz.. i shall not comment too much for i have lost the interest and energy to club. the guys went ahead to party till late. me ? i took the mtr and went back to sleep. i know i aint sporting but i realli realli have no mood to club. hmmmz.

hk ? hmmmz. i just had not got enough of it .

i shd be going back pretty soon again........ shoppin ? never enough !!

Blog Entryone day at bedok reservoirJun 28, '08 10:21 AM
for everyone

it's the time of the year again where bedok reservoir comes to life. we the passionate rowers will flock from all over sg armed with our paddles, lifejackets and some bumpads hoping to emerge as winners for the day.

i as a proud rower of both exxonmobil dragonboat team as well as the np alumni team thinks that i am still the same old cowan 5years ago. guess i was wrong ~!  4 races , a total of 3.2km of intense rowing sure got my tongue sticking out.

it's real tough rowing in the smaller boat of 10men crew. it seems unless rowing for 800m races as it is just god damn far ! thanks god we made it to the semis...

next up was my np alumni 20men crew. we were trying to keep ourself in the race. we were really lucky to get thru for both the men and the mixed. it gonna be tough tom so we shall take a step at a time ....

for now ? yeapp yep *thumbs up* i need my rest.


Blog Entrythe weeklong just passed.Jun 27, '08 12:36 PM
for everyone

so much so for race preps. back in sch days we used to carbo load before the races but now ? haaa. i think this whole week i have been non stop eating. all those lunche meeting have somehow killed me.

started since monday, i had japanese food for lunch. sakuraya at anchorpt with our operator and i ate like tons of raw sashimi. tues was at sun with moon at central for lunch with another operator. thurs nite was at esplanade with wk for dinner at the korean bbq over a mentoring session.

today ? by far the best...was at st regis ! the very new 6star hotel at tanglin area. i was there to attend an offsite meeting for this year blooddrive. lunch was at tian yin a chinese restaurant and oh boy was it class. the hotel is pretty nicely decorated and live up to it's 6star reputation.

after savouring such a wonderful lunch where i am so trying to get my hands on the photos taken so that i could post it online, we headed to the meeting room and started our brainstorming. this year i aint gonna be the mascot like the 2 previous yr. i got a more important role and im actually the team lead for the hbf lobbying. wow that a huge responsibility as i be trying to get my hands on donors to bring in more bags of blood.

nothing is free in life. there always a price to pay after having such a nice place for lunch and meeting. i be getting more busy but well it for a good cause so why not ! come this october i be haunting for blood like a vampire. u better be there to help to. 2bags each
!!

my first !

gorilla lookin shot taking.

if there is one sport i sux at it ... it must be golf. my ball can hardly fly and i never hear a clean shot taken at all. gosh ! how bad can that be on my first lesson to the game. i think i do better whackin the ball with my paddle or perhaps give me a bigger ball. i shd be realliy grateful that my club didnt flew.  =(

guess it not about patience that i need, rather more of perserverence

Saturday 21st June 08

since the day i no longer own a camera i call my own i have been not uploading as fast or bloggin as fast as others. =(  shots taken at holland v, dinner at crystal jade kitchen. it was far too difficult to plan for a superb birthday for the old man who always party like hell. so we decided to throw him a simple dinner and surprise him with the prezzie in the dimsum container. totally caught offguard ! haaa... hope u like it man.

total count 14pax !

wala wala next. i have to say it's one of the few times i been there and im totally disappointed. the band was totallly awesome lousy....maybe i juz didnt like it. jason & i ended up having ice cream at cold rock.

Blog Entrya minute at the red light.Jun 18, '08 8:29 AM
for everyone

on one of the drive to work, i saw a picanto behind me stoppin at a traffic light. a lday driver in a small cutie red car and what she did simply make my jaw drop.

who say women cannot multi task ? this women stopping at the traffic light, lifted her cup for a sip of coffee, took a big bite out of her sandwich and while chewing starting to work on her eyelashes and still got time to put on her cardigan. all in the span of the traffic light. gosh....... u realli call this multi tasking.

well do u think we guys could do it ? i thought about it and glance to the uncle beside me driving his lancer. in a minute, he juz did something as wonderful at the traffic light. he scratch his left knee then his balls followed by digging so happily in his right nostril. expression show me he found gold in it, look at it, wind down the window and fling it out. how that ??   marvellous.....

so next time when u drive look ard ... i bet u see something juz as interesting.


Blog Entrylove it raw.Jun 16, '08 9:21 AM

Sakuraya

If you ended up somewhere near Ikea at alexandar and u are in need for a bite. perhaps you can drop by at anchor point. the renovation did really pull in the crowds over the weekends.

adele, mk and i was there for dinner. i was simply stone out after a restless nite, 2 dragonboat sessions as well as work again...

nothing beats having sashimi ! lovin it like always. it's quite a nice little place that serve neat but not fantastic jap food. if you are down at the area, do try it.

 

 


Blog Entrythe weekend over.Jun 15, '08 11:04 AM
for everyone

 goodness ! the weekend is over. i hardly manage to find time of my own. you could tell from the freq that i blog. i kinda got tired of trying to fix my com and get online. as of now , im using my dad com.

a crazi weekend i would say. didnt even have quality sleep. well... it's not due to euro08 as i kinda forgo soccer since the days i got burned betting heavily on it. it's actually work.... well getting calls at 2am, 4am and even 6am. how do u think i can get to sleep well. i do miss undisturbed sleepbut i still somehow like my job. stressful but its' the kick u get after solving the issues make it all so rewarding.

it so bad that sometimes i juz throw everything aside and head down to sentosa. that what i did on fri when i simply juz drove in to km8 for a jug of ice lemon tea before i get back to work again. it does help !

im actually passing my camera to my dad. he needs it more then i do...for work i mean. that means i be not able to camwhore more often now. oohhh...that be sucky.
