Mooncake

2009-08-09T22:47:00.000+08:00

Mooncake - I know it's too early to talk and even make one now, but I had made it.

Learning from my special's sister, I had learnt how to make Traditional Lotus Mooncake and Walnut Lotus Mookcakes during National Day. The ingredient is not cheap and we spend few hours to do 38 number of mooncakes using the total of 3kgs of lotus and of course flour and egg yolks.

It's very nice taste, and I already got order from my sister to make more. Guess I will learn to do it again in weeks time. Will take more photos when making mooncake in future.

Decoration

2009-07-12T20:54:00.002+08:00

Don't know since when that I became to have interests on interior design and deco. Wait till I have my own dream house to have my own decision, now what I can do is to have a closer look at the deco from my surrounding.

Hong Kong TV Drama 珠光寶氣 The Gem of Life

2009-07-04T11:12:00.007+08:00

This is not the latest Hong Kong drama series, but one of the longest one (as compared those 30 or 40 episodes)

"Thanks' to the hot weather that I become even more lazy to go out, so I decide to do nothing but watch this TV series, hoping to finish at least half of the 82 episodes. The attractions of this drama, not only the story but to see how the riches live and their beautiful clothes, shoes and of course, the diamonds.

NDP 2009 Ticket

2009-06-28T12:31:00.001+08:00

NDP 2009

Australia Trip Cum My Graduation-Gold Coast

2009-04-01T19:17:00.001+08:00

I never quite like beach because I always feel that it' always so hot and the water is not clear. Hmmm I think I am referring to East Coast, but when I am in Gold Coast, thing turned out to be different. The wave is so big and so fun to be there to enjoy the breeze.

Australia Trip Cum My Graduation-Perth

2009-03-30T10:58:00.009+08:00

This trip has been long planned, together with a few of my classmates.

We promised that we should attend our Graduation Ceremony in Perth (of course both time and financial have to make it) and yes, we finally made it.

We spent one week in Perth and another week in Gold Coast.

In Pinnacle

Took Air taxi for my first time.

At Rottnest Island

Back to Perth City, Bell Tower In the park,

After this long week in Perth, we are flying to Gold Coast for my 1st time visit.

Another New Year

2009-01-01T15:49:00.000+08:00

I am not those kind of "New Year Resolution" person. I do not list down my new wishes, guess I do have a lot of wishes throughout the year anyway.

Everyone in the world knows that Year 2009 is going to be quite a challenge year for us. With the economic running down, it will slow down most of our dreams.

Of course it does. You can't simply quit your job now, unless you get new job. You can't simply sign on any package for bascially everything, unless you are ready for the increasement of the monthly instalment. Most of us will save for the rainy days, so is this consider rainy days when the monthly income is at the risk now.

But no matter how bad the situation is, we have to think and act positive to overcome this. After all, interesting life comes from different experience in lives.

Hope everyone up there a "Interesting and Fulfillment Year".

Singapore Zoo - Always My Favourite

2008-12-20T22:36:00.003+08:00

It's been years since my last visit to Singapore Zoo.

Changed a bit here and there, but as usual, still so crowded with visitors. (Of course, else how to maintain the park then).

Just a few hours visiting on my birthday, since I had been looking forward to visit there. I remembered my last visit was S$12, but today is S$18. Well, everything seems to be increasing nowsaday, what to say.

Nice view

1,000 Places To See Before You Die

2008-11-07T15:23:00.003+08:00

I guess no one should be unfamiliar with this book title, or a Travel Channel program.

I got this book quite some time back and well, I didnt get the time/chance (or perhaps lazy) to read through every single page or every places. But I know this book will not be kept in the book shelf forever as it will still be my travel guide for my future travel planning (when I have the time & money to do so).

But I still do like to share on those places that appeared in the book and whether or not, have I been to that place, which die die also must go.

Starting from SINGAPORE - Life On The Slow Track.

I can't believe myself, after being a Singaporean for thirty-over years, I didn't know we can have such luxurious Eastern & Oriental Train travel from Singapore, all the way to Bangkok. But the price doesn't seem to be cheap for their 2N/3D trip. See more, click here.

Another busy months

2008-11-06T15:06:00.001+08:00

"All 'good' things come at the right period."

This is how I am thinking positively to myself with my super busy schedule during the past two months. And lucky me, just another 2 weeks or less, I will be more relaxing.

New system enhancement at work. Before it kick off effective on Nov, I had been busy coping with the standardization of the item coding with the team members. Then the process to integrated with the system, the open 'document' from this system to the new system. Finally, we are at the last stage but hey, here come with the annual stock taking to 'crash' together with the implementation. Well, maybe it a super Good Date that they had been chosen to come as one.

At my own, examination for the last seminar falls on Nov too. Revision become the only thing to do after work. No shopping, no movie, no outing for such long time (2mths is considering long for me ok). Well, like I said, another two more weeks, with the last exam paper, I can call for a good celebration (provided I do pass my paper, hee hee).

So now it's just a break to update my blog and I am going back to the reality. Jia You!!!

Car Park Rate in Singapore

2008-09-01T12:07:00.004+08:00

Anyone there with more information of the car park rate in Singapore to share?

When BUSY become your excuses..........

2008-08-31T17:03:00.006+08:00

That's right!

Time just passed and gone just like that when your life is s busy.
The feeling become so empty.
Just like a dream.
But I have to face it cos it's part of my life.

It's been so long since my last blogging.
I have not read any of my favourite bloggers for a long time.
When was my last photo taking (from my mobile camera, of course)?
Sun set and sun rise, I have not been enjoying much of the natural around me.

Goodness me, I ought to slow down and relax more else I am no longer enjoying every moment of life.

Right! Flashback. It is now August 2008.

I went Ho Chin Minh for a short vacation with my best friend during April 2008.

Famous tunnel Famous HCM traffic, mostly motorcycles.

16 Jun 08 - Finally, I got my driving license after 6 mths of learning.

04 Aug 08 - Collected my new Honda Jazz. My family members and special friend missed the luck to strike 4D by missing one last number. Well well, no luck yet.

Now got a lot of assignment to complete for my last semester of the degree course. End Nov will be our exam month and then, I will be free from study................horray. Counting down .......90, 89, 88, 87 days..........................

Well, busy is still my excuse for a lot of my activities but I guess I should be improving on my own time management too.

Perhaps you will be seeing my improvement of this very soon. Hope so.

Love in the air

Updating.............

2008-03-23T11:04:00.002+08:00

Few of my friends were asking me why no more update in my blog.

"No happening?"

"Too busy?"

"Too lazy, is it?"

Well, I think all the above plays a part. Life has been quite busy in my last (2nd) semester as we have to complete our study and assignments within three months. Beside, examination was near to CNY, so all 'happening' in life have to put a stop first.

Then after a few years of hesitating, I finally make an effort to go for my driving lesson. And ha ha, the driving fee is getting higher each year. Just the same year 2007, my niece paid for $70 per session (100mins) and now I have to pay for $80 (120mins). But what to do :(

And with the blink of an eye, three months gone. Wow it's really like I miss out sharing a lot of things too.

Hmmm, I ought to start to take more photos again and update as often as I can. Hee hee.

HDB Estate - Toa Payoh

2008-01-23T07:02:00.000+08:00

Toa Payoh, my favourite HDB estate as I had spent my childhood there. Yesterday, special friend and I went there to return my loaned book and saw the newly built 40 storey HDB flat, just opposite the library. Out of curiousity, we went out to have a look at the view from the top.

The building is in the 'sqaure' shape, so hardly can we see the full view of Toa Payoh, unless entering into one of the unit but no chance.

View from 40th storey

The wind is strong up here

Taking pic 'down'. See the garden 'down' there

It's at 8th storey, too bad it is not open yetHmmm, staying in this block should be nice but I believe the value of the house is high too.

More Bears From Build-a-bear

2008-01-07T10:34:00.000+08:00

This is limited edition bear, bought by my colleague, Chan.

With our birthday present to SK, she went to build a 'husband' for her bear.

Sonny's Birthday Celebration

2008-01-05T23:25:00.000+08:00

I am suppose to organise Sonny's birthday but hor...... too bad I am poor in organising, especially for my young classmates. Luckily I have a group of helpful classmates to help me in the planning.

Chalet at East Coast Park, but no BBQ. We played UNO game and had a good time. Then we went to da bao from hawker center and had a great dinner there. Cutting birthday cake became their main 'propose' to sha bo Sonny.

My Birthday Celebration

2008-01-01T10:56:00.000+08:00

My group of classmates arranged birthday celebration for me at SK's house (it's become one of our favourite spot for gathering or discussion).

Specially catered vegetarian food for me and mahjong game to keep me awake, so that we can also countdown to New Year 2008 too. Asked my niece and special friend to join in the fun. They surprised me by singing Birthday song, of course with the birthday cake and living room full of balloons when I went to fetch special friend.

Indeed a touching and unforgetable moment for me (especially at this 'old' age, ha ha)

My birthday cake

Surprise

Happy Birthday, Ai Ni.

Short Trip To Tianjin

2007-12-29T22:17:00.000+08:00

A last minutes call out from office to Tianjin on Christmas eve, which required me to fly on 26th Dec for three days. I had never been to China so I treat it as a short trip for myself although this is an business trip.

Nothing much of leisure for myself, except to bookstores and one museum tour in the cold snowing day. And since Tianjin have only one vegetarian restaurant (that they can find it), we went there for every meal especially for my preference. Thanks to the local vendor.

The weather was so hazey on my 1st day of arrival. Luckily it turned clear and I managed to return Singapore for my birthday celebration with special friend.

Our Christmas Log Cake

2007-12-26T07:32:00.000+08:00

We don't celebrate this festival but do enjoy the joys that was brought by Christmas.

This log cake was given by special friend's sister, which specially 'order' to add less sugar and more rich chocolate. No wonder so yummy......... And we cut the cake at 12am sharp when our neighbour counting down to their MERRY CHRISTMAS in the party.

Waiting For Their Owners To Be Home

2007-12-23T19:28:00.000+08:00

Dogs are loyal, and indeed they are.

Just see what's our dogs (and my nephew's friend, who often bring his dog here too) are doing after their owners left the house. They wait for their return.

The Surprise Continue

2007-12-16T20:48:00.000+08:00

Well, we can't conclude a birthday celebration without birthday cake and present, which we had already intended to pass to her on Sunday.

So after class, we acted like normal case, went back individual. But actually me and another two guys went the other way to buy a small cake and surprise her at her own house with her present too.

I believe she must be very touched too!!!!

Complete package of her birthday celebration, hee hee hee............... I think only young people will have so much of ideas for friend's celebration.

SK Birthday Celebration

2007-12-15T23:59:00.000+08:00

This weekend is SK birthday celebration that we planned for a month. Here it go..........

4.30pm - Class released, we headed to Sentosa directly by Jess's vehicle.

5.00pm - Rain pouring during the journey but we managed to reach Siloso beach within half an hour.

5.01 - 6pm - Before I reach Underwater World, I was 'half-wet' cos the Tram was not fully covered and my pant was totally wet. No choice but continue heading to the FishReflexology to get foot massage. At the end, the lady told us it's fully booked. Oh no, what a day in Sentosa. So we went back to Siloso beach and this time, I went to buy a short and slippery to ease off my uncomfortable feeling by wearing the wet pant.

6plus - Went for our dinner at Amis restaurant. Trust me, if you are not keen to watch the show - Song of the Sea (cos we can't get the ticket at 7.40pm, all sold out) which can be seen from the 2nd storey of this restaurant, don't go for the meal. It's expensive and small portion and most disappoint was, not much choice from the menu. Only 4 different types of spaghetti and 2 desserts, 2 side orders.

7.40pm - 'Song of the Sea' show began, and I enjoyed a lot

8.10pm - All of us walked down to Palawan beach where the birthday girl's husband and another classmate were there, giving surprise to SK, by lighting out SK on the beach. Of cos we did clear up the mess after that.

10pm - Heading to Habour front for supper cos dinner was not enough for me, hee hee.

10.30pm - Most of the shops had closed but Sonny still managed to buy me vegetarian sandwiches at Vivo City, so sweet of him.

Stage of the show - Song of the Sea

Got this email from my friend. Anyone read this before and is this true????????

非常重要！請告訴你身邊所有戴隱形眼鏡的朋友在烤肉，或任何有可能接觸到火源的地方，請將你的隱形眼鏡拿掉！聽過一件很可怕的事情發生在 Malacca,…有一天，一個 21 歲男生戴著隱形眼鏡去參加一個烤肉聚會 !就在他開始以木炭生火之後的幾分鐘內，他突然大叫，然後很痛苦的跳來跳去，在地上打滾 …全場的人都嚇呆了，沒人知道究竟發生了什麼事大家趕緊送他到醫院，醫生說，他永遠都看不見了！原因是：隱形眼鏡是用塑膠製成的，而就在他生火的同時，過熱的溫度熔化了他的隱形眼鏡！所以請告訴你身邊的朋友烤肉及接觸火源時，請不要戴著隱形眼鏡！！如果您收到別人分享給您的好文章，不要吝嗇，您也可以繼續分享給好友，請別忘我這一份喔。當我們用心對人時 , 有心人將以熱情回報妳 , 希望我們都是用心的人 , 也是有心的人 .

Increasing, increasing, increasing

2007-12-11T19:24:00.000+08:00

We had been hearing this word for so many months for so many items except our salary.

I guess everyone will know of the increasing of COMFORT taxi fare up to 49% (during peak hour) by now. What can we do? Actually there is, to choose whether or not to take taxi (anyway sooner the other taxi companies will increase their fare too.)

But when the fare for MRT and Buses increase which will be coming out soon, there is really nothing for us to do cause we need to take these transport daily.

What to do? Face the fact and live with it, cos no matter how loud we going to scream out our thinking, no one is there to listen. All we can only do is to cut here and there, this and that in order to 'top up' the price for all increasing items.

So next year onwards is going to be a tight budget year for myself.

Cutie Little Dog

2007-12-09T22:44:00.000+08:00

Went to special friend's sister house and saw the little cutie dog they just bought.

Puppy dog is always so nice to carry and play with. Now my niece wants me to bring her back to our house to play with.

Kammy Birthday

2007-12-08T23:52:00.000+08:00

After our 1st lesson for second semester, we had a wonderful birthday celebration for Kammy, the youngest girl in our group.

Group photo at Roof Terrace with her birthday present (see the white bag she's carry with)

After 'gift presentation', we went dinner at N.Y.D.C, which I chose my favourite oven-baked pasta and lemon shiver.

Then we had a little surprise for her by bringing her to the open space of the fountain, while Yves and I went to collect her birthday cake and to delicate Birthday song (Suntec fountain have song delication service). Then present the cake while she was still in the shock. After eating the nice chocolate Mini Goldmint, we went to Eski bar for a drink. Too bad the birthday celebration didnt end till mid-night cos we still have class on Sunday.

Secret Friend Gift Exchange

2007-12-07T15:38:00.000+08:00

Christmas is round the corner and I believe a lot of workplaces are organising Christmas lunch or dinner for little celebration, to enjoy the holiday season.

My department is organising lunch on the 19th Dec (initially we wanted to be a dinner affair but some of my colleagues are not able to make it, so idea was given up) and I suggested the 'Secret Friend Gift Exchange' game to the organising committee, which I guess this is not so common here. I first experienced this game when I was 1st year in Brazil. Now come to think of the past, I do enjoyed that moment and I really miss my Brazilian colleagues. They are really so fun-loving and passionate.

This idea sounds great so the committees are keen in doing it. The game starts like this: -

1) Every participate will need to write down their wish list provided, with the budget given of course.
2) Drop individual wish list into a box and draw one list after everyone have given their list.
3) To buy the gift accordingly to the list.
4) On the day of the game, one person will start the ball rolling by introducing his/her secret friend, base on his/her expression, everyone presence will then guess who that person is. With the right guess, that person will present his/her gift to the secret friend. And this goes on till the last person got the gift.

Funny thing is, some people still have negative thinking on this idea (I wonder why) and ask why can't we just have the normal gift exchange, mean to have a number on each gift and have the lucky draw for it. I dont quite like the idea cos it is so difficult to buy a gift without knowing who will 'pick up' your present. That's why chocolate and photo frame become so common during this season.

Bring Me Home

2007-12-04T22:27:00.000+08:00

The excitement does not dies off for the whole afternoon, so Sam and I decided to go to Vivo City and build-a-bear, and of cos I ask 'special friend' to tag along too.

Call me 'Crazy girl' or 'Childish' if you wants to but I really enjoying the process of building my bear. Although the price is not cheap too but this might be a lifetime thing that I am going to get this forever friend home, I think its worthwhile. (Hmmm, hope it's one time thing, or perhaps to buy more clothings for her). I thinks its more fun than the Barbie doll, hee hee.

The 'adventure' begins

Skin of the bear

Processing................. Rub the heart with your hands, make a wish and rub it again, then put this 'alive heart' inside the bear.
With 'Takini'
Ready! Bring me home, pls. Her name is Pao-Li-Nee
Home Sweet Home, I am going to hug her to sleep every nite. My elder sister first commended was "Aiyo, how old are you now to buy this bear."

Who cares, as long as its can melt my heart, age is just a number after all.

Babies Celebration For Dec 07

2007-12-04T15:19:00.000+08:00

As usual, we have the little celebration every month in our office for the birthday babies. And Dec is my birthday month (although my birthday is not here yet), it's time for celebration. Thanks to my colleagues for all the arrangement every month.

Build-A-Bear Workshop

2007-12-04T08:22:00.000+08:00

My colleague received his birthday present, "Superdad Bear" from his daughter. So cute.
With his birth cert.

You can select the type of bear (with their birth cert) and their clothing, shoes and even accessories for your beloved from this shop. I like it a lot. I will visit the shop one day.

Singapore City Gallery

2007-12-01T21:50:00.000+08:00

Finally managed to find the time to visit Singapore City Gallery with special friend, see what's the changes and future planning of our beloved hometown. We are here - URA CentreOverview of Singapore Central Area
Orchard Road

Marina Bay
Singapore Flyer
Marina Barrage Marina Bay Sands

Singapore is changing in every moments and I wonder how much I can follow the pace. What about you?

Changi Airport Terminal 3

2007-11-25T21:20:00.000+08:00

Went to this newly build T3 with special friend to discover the complete project for the whole Changi Airport. Not just an airport, the design also look into the Go Green and best facilities to enhance the leading air hub in the region.

An aptimum amount of diffused sunlight streams down through total 919 skylights fitted with an intelligent computer-controlled system of butterfly-shaped reflectors.

Interior designing in the departure hall.

Water features with Koi pond together with real trees surrounding.

Spectacular five-storey high and 300m wide vertical garden features 25 species of climbing plants which can view from both the Departure and Arrival Halls.
Multi-language Welcome messages of 300m wide hand-sculpted backdrop carved. And of course, a lot of retail shops and F&B outlets is waiting to open for business. Guess next time T3 can be one of my choices for shopping or meal. After all, one trip bus can reach there within half an hour time, better than going to Vivo City which I need to take more than an hour to reach.

Using this photo as an experimental by using mobile blog, it works but wonder how much does it charge per mailing?

Mascot Ball Pen Set From Beijing

2007-11-22T11:51:00.000+08:00

Asked my colleague to purchase any little display from Beijing for the Olympic 2008 when she went there for holiday recently.

And I got this little Mascot Ball Pen Set at S$20. Each doll have their own name, called "Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni".

Recycle

2007-11-20T20:36:00.000+08:00

Looking at this recycle bin at Khabit MRT station, I wonder are we ready for the green?

I remember watching one TV documentary of how Taiwanese handle their rubbish by separately them into plastic, paper, drink cans and rubbish. To head this direction for us, there's a long way for us to go.

I also wonder how often the rubbish was collected from them, daily or weekly?

Set Lunch Courtesy By Ivy

2007-11-20T13:30:00.000+08:00

Last working day in Singapore, Ivy is giving the whole dept a farewell lunch. I think this cater company really put in effort to gain more business, with this whole set (included Nasi Brani, dessert, fruit, mango pudding and teh tareh) it cost S$4.90. Worth it!

Ivy's Farewell Dinner

2007-11-15T22:02:00.000+08:00

My colleague - Ivy is going to Brasil for her 2 years secondment soon so we had the farewell dinner for her. We went to Tung Luk Restaurant at Vivo City and enjoyed a wonderful night with the wonderful food. Even my vegatarian food was great too!

Ivy and I

The best vegetarian dishes I ever had....................
Our complimentary juice

Our desserts Part 1
Our desserts Part 2 The food is indeed great, and the price too. But once a while when we can still afford it, I think we should pamper ourselves.

What Is The Temperatur Of Your Office

2007-11-15T14:49:00.000+08:00

Mine? I thought I am in the winter season. I am not kidding.

Not everyone in the office feel the same coldness like I do. Maybe cos I am sitting near the corner. The coldness is making me so headache sometime. Sigh.

Life's Too Short For The Wrong Job!

2007-11-10T09:21:00.000+08:00

Received these few advertisements from my friend's email, found it very creative and hey, it's really ring a bell.

Is your current job a right one for you??? What is your job centrality???

For me, satisfaction, teamwork (I always believe no one can handle and complete the job individually) and very importantly, work-life balance.

And I always hope to learn more from my seniors to handle things in professional way cos this is what I am poor at. Well, I can only pick a little 'professionalise' from this and that person at this moment. But everyone have their own individual strong point that we can always learn from. Hope one day I can find one professional person that I am admire to learn from.

Dinner at Equinox Restaurant

2007-11-09T10:13:00.000+08:00

After receiving the surprise flower, we had our dinner at Equinox Restaurant located at Swissotel The Stamford Hotel at Level 70. With the astomphere and the dishes, the night become more romantic and sweet to me.

Views from the high top of Singapore. Can see many constructions going on around the area, the city is getting more and more exciting!

Choosing my vegetarian choice from the menu

Before the sky turn dark..........

Surprising Flower

2007-11-07T15:27:00.000+08:00

I received surprising flower from special friend to celebrate our special day today!

I love it so much!

Hope tonight our dinner will be romantic and sweet too.

Made In China (Restaurant) at Haw Par Villa

2007-11-06T22:22:00.000+08:00

My group of colleagues and I went dinner at Made In China Restaurant at Hua Song museum, which consider a new place to me. First, I didnt know that Haw Par Villa is still open to public. Second, I didnt know that there is a fine dining Chinese Restaurant at this Hua Song Museum which we enjoyed the food a lot.

It's been at least a decade away since I went to Haw Par Villa. I remembered its used to be so crowded when it first opened after the renovation as a enternainment park. But due to several reasons, this became a failure project and now it's total opposite when we went there in the evening.

We managed to go for a walk at Haw Par Villa (now free entry except $1 for the 10 Courts of Hell) before our dinner and lots of memories flashed back. I remembered how we were told by the adults on different kinds of puishment we will get in return if we do any bad deeds. Today, as an adult, so many bad deeds (mentioned in the 10 courts of hell) that I had done, so how many good deeds should I do to pay back my sins. Oh oh.............................

So for those who might want to catch back some of your childhood memories, Haw Par Villa might be the right place for you.

Hmmm.....too bad I didnt bring my camera with me to take some good photos.

Exam Stress, Once Again

2007-10-30T13:50:00.000+08:00

It's been such long long time ago that I had this examination stress.

Now this stress is back again, with my 1st semester examination for my course next Mid Nov. With my age is catching up, now how I wish I am much younger to be able to remember more things in smoother way.

I am not a smart girl, can only do my best to achieve a pass.

Anyway, that's part of the reason why my blog became so quiet recently, hee hee.

Bangkok Trip in 2007

2007-10-08T13:55:00.000+08:00

This is my fourth time to Bangkok (from 04 Oct to 07 Oct), doing the same old shopping and massage.

But my first time to Royal Grand Palace

Found this tissue and toothpick provider at MBK foodcourt. Why can't Singapore have this kind of service too. First thing come in our mind is....... it will be gone the moment you have it set on the table. So aren't we shameful of this behaviour if this really happen.

Anyway, didn't enjoy much for the shopping cos I was sick before setting for this trip. Not fully recover but insisted to travel for this trip. I do enjoyed a lot of their Thai traditional massage and in fact it helped me to feel more fresh after it. Cool.

Watched this Hindo movie - Life is a Metro, during our trip back but too bad the journey was too short to complete the whole movie. So guess what? I am going to buy the VCD to finish the show.

Human - Conscience

2007-09-29T09:40:00.000+08:00

Read about what Ivy wrote in her blog 'Human' and I can't stop thinking about this case that really happened around me in this modern society.

One family stay a couple with age 50+ , the man's father and their maid in one HDB Flat. The couple have their little Yong Tou Fu stall in the market, which they need to wake up very early in the morning to begin their business almost everyday.

Health always alarm when age is catching up, and this goes the same to their father (in fact, the couple too). That's why the maid was employed to take care of him when they went for their business. One fine day, the father fell down and need to be hospitalized. Then this made the couple more busier as they will have to split into two shifts to do their business and visit their father in the hospital.

Hmmm, sound like the father have only one son that he need to depend on? No, this poor father have 1 more son and daughter and 2 grand-children, which they are all adults. You know, when elderly fall sick, normally they will want to see their love ones, and in this case is their grand-children. First, his daughter refused to pay a visit to his father in hospital (this is not the first time and most of the time she refuses to go back home to visit too), cause superstitous made her have this decision. As the animal of 'Goat' in Lunar year, she is not allowed to go any 'unlucky' places. Then she also forbidden her husband and her two children to visit him too. And it really happened, left the poor father keep missing them so much. She also refuse to help the couple to take care of their father, when the couple were busy with the business (the only business to feed the whole family). Keep saying all things will crash her if she touch it.

===========================================================

I can't believe this matter is happenning in Today's Singapore.

My first question is, where is her conscience been to? I do not know how the relationship between this father and daughter, but not as bad as I could imagine cos they still visit him during the Lunar New Year (or for the sake of doing only). But no matter what, shouldn't she have to respect her father when he needs their support most?

Secondly, the most annoying thing was that two grand-children didnt even bother to pay their grand-father a visit, not a single time, not even after their grand-father's request. I thought they are actually adults and can think at their own will, they can still visit their grand-father (with or without their mum's knowledge). Unless this is their will too. So, where is their conscience?

Third, less say of the father's son. Same too.

Forth, the worst thing is the man refuse the woman to have little gathering with her own sisters and brother when all her sliding wants is to have a small celebration for her birthday. Sometime I keep wondering, maybe with this kind of character, that's why the family ended up like this.

============================================================

Then I asked myself where is my conscience and how much have I done for my family.

I treasure the moment with my family members, do not take them for granted and value them always, especially when they are still with us. At least we live in the present, and do not regret the past. I do believe the strong bonds between family do not come just like this, it take times and opportunity to build them day by day. And the opportunity is within our hands, so do not let the word 'busy' to push away every opportunity.

September Fruity Day

2007-09-27T22:37:00.000+08:00

Our company have Fruity Day every month (Is that so? I can't recall we have the fruit every month, hee hee)

This September, Banana has been adopted as the fruit of month. Here's are some of the benefits from eating banana.

There are two main varieties of bananas, the fruit or sweet banana and the plantain. The fruit banana is eaten raw out of hand when it turns yellow and develops a succulent sweetness with a soft, smooth, creamy, yet firm pulp. The plantain, a cooking banana, is also referred to as the meal, vegetable or horse banana. Plantains have lower water content, making them drier and starchier than fruit bananas.

The sugars in the banana are readily assimilated, and they contain many vitamins and minerals, and a great deal of fiber. They are excellent for young children and infants and are good in reducing diets because they satisfy the appetite and are low in fat.

Because they are so soft, they are good for persons who have intestinal disturbances, and for convalescents. Bananas feed the natural acidophilus bacteria of the bowel, and their high potassium content benefits the muscular system.Bananas are useful in the treatment of arthritis and gout. Bananas are suitable for overweight people as they contain practically no sodium. (But I thought eating too much banana will put on weight??????)

MORE: -

· Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat high blood pressure.
· Brain Power: Eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost children’s brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
· Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body; so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
· Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

My Classmate -Benje's Birthday

2007-09-23T21:46:00.000+08:00

Our study group bought him a haversack and took a group photo in the class, after our presentation.

We didnt get him birthday cake, so use bread as cake for him. Ha ha ha!

Then went to this Mushroom Park Restaurant for dinner.

We are ready to eat, of course mine is vegetarian which is on the other pot.

Birthday Celebration For My 2nd Elder Sister

2007-09-15T22:26:00.000+08:00

Added on 19/09/07 - Few people been asking where we got this cake from. We know this shop from the TV program, HDB Tai Tai. Find out more from this website.

My sister turns 50 today, been through half the century in the world.

So we decided to buy her a Majong cake and dinner outside for little celebration. Nothing fantasy but I really enjoy this family moment.

My sister loves this cake design so much when she saw it, cos majong is her favourite hobby.

My sister & Sparkling next to her. Sparkling boy has been sitting there since the cake was on the table. Too bad, he can't take chocolate cake.
Family photo
No birthday present but at least she got one hangbao, ha ha.
Happy Birthday My beloved sister!

Indonesia Earthquake Again

2007-09-13T10:01:00.000+08:00

I felt my house was shaking last night when Indonesia was being attacked by the quake.

This morning close to 8am, I felt the same thing at work place (which is at Tuas area) again.

This time, me, my family members and colleagues didn't react much on the Singapore Tremors. Inside my heart, I am praying for God's protection to Indonesia. May they suffer the least from this natural attack.

911

2007-09-11T21:42:00.000+08:00

Sep 11. A day that all of us will always remember of the WTC incident in New York City 6 years ago.

==============================================

But Today in 2007, I have two events going on.

First, is my beloved colleague - Johnny, last day of service in the company. Served more than 30 years here, I can sensed his feeling of 'unbearable to leave'. Well, all I can say is ALL THE BEST and GOOD LUCK to him. And will keep in touch with him.

Little group photo with him in the afternoon.

In the morning, our IQC team had our presentation for our company Innovation Month 2007. After 8 months of work hard within the team effort, we finally completed our project and presented our results successfully. CHEERS!!!

Mars (Chocolate) starts using animal products

2007-09-10T11:34:00.000+08:00

Attention to all vegetarian and muslim. All these chocolates no longer suitable for you.

Got this news from Ivy.

All the below Masterfood Company Chocolate Products (Mars) are no longer Halal. They started using Animal product rennet (the inner lining of the fourth stomach of calves and other young ruminants) in it for products that have expiry date after 1 st of October 2007.

Department and Company - What's the difference?

2007-09-04T16:24:00.000+08:00

The conclusion "Are you working for the department or the company?"

This is what my colleague and I come out with this conclusion when we were talking about this, as one of our colleagues from the other department is trying to ask her not to involve too much of others work, even the asking is for the benefit of the company.

Hmmm, so should I work for my department or the company?????

Love More - Family or Pet?

2007-09-03T15:58:00.000+08:00

We always know that dog is loyal to its owner; therefore we have many cases of good relationships between the owner and the dog.

This story is more than just the owner and the dog…………….. because most of the time, the owner might not be the only person in the house to take care of the dog.

My house has a male dog own by my nephew, who took him quite a while to convince my elder sister to accept him adopting this dog couple years ago. The permission was granted under the condition that he have to take care of his own dog. Well, I do not wish to write the entire history of this story but today situation is, my sister do make the effort to walk the dog, feed the dog and play with the dog when my nephew is not around. I must say that she does like this dog a lot.

About one year ago, my nephew’s best friend bought a little female dog too. And since his friend is a regular visitor of our house, so is his dog. Dog behave like little kid, when there is company around they will be a bit more playful. Thing goes ok when two dogs travel to and fro of our house and his friend’s house often and we do have a lot of ‘dog’ topics within our conversations.

But recently, we highlighted once again of the problem that the dogs ‘mess up’ the house (of course not on their propose) and we wanted the owners to do ‘something’ about it. Of course we are not asking him to get rid of his dog but just want him to clear up the mess. I am not sure whether have they done something for it, but for what I see (when we say seeing is believing) I believe nothing was done. My elder sister and niece feel the same way and we began to tell my nephew. And he got so angry (perhaps we keep telling him ‘you better do something about it’) that he brought two dogs to his friend’s house and totally ignores his own family members.

And the morale of the story, is the dog more important to you than you own family members? I saw this kind of story over the TV program but when this really happen to your own self, it tastes sour. Maybe out of his love to the pet, he was too haste on his action, but have he ever thought of his mum’s feeling?

Sad (this is how I feel), when see one care more of his pet than his own family members, as lot of these cases happened around me. Well, what to say when this is also called LOVE.

What A "Thoughtful" Saturday

2007-09-01T22:27:00.000+08:00

As planned, I went for my rebonding hairdo in the afternoon at Toa Payoh Central, at my usual saloon.

When special friend and I were on our way to MRT station, we passby the HDB hub and saw this "Remaking Our Heartland" exhibition, showcases rejuvenation and regeneration strategies for New, Middle-Aged and Old estates. Out of curiosity and to find out what will happen to my living estate - Yishun, I went in to take a look. Beside, the new building of the hospital, there will be library at this new extension of North Point (Completion by 2008) . Reservior and park will be expected too. Even the empty land just next to my house will be building more private housing too. What a change to be expected in near future.

Then we went to the computer fair at Suntec City, as I wanted to buy new MP3. Too bad, the one that I wanted to buy have run out of stock so we headed to Marina Square in order to avoid the crowd there. But at the end, we did not manage to watch any movie.

So we headed home and had quite a 'thoughtful' conversation during our journey home. Special friend mentioned that I will ended up to be 'someone' (so happen that this person is someone unwelcome to most of our colleagues) if I do not change my character. I will be just like her 10 years later cos I actually 1/3 behave like her now. It's fact, I know what my character is but hurtful to hear someone close to say that.

To me, just a coincident to meet someone who have similar character in the same office.

To me, it's a good thing to meet her so that I know I need to change (cos I got the chance to look at my future now), better for my own personality.

To me, it take time to change..... but how long is a big question and I think I should give myself shorter than I had previously gave myself.

So I will have to be more serious in my self-improvement cos it seems that I have not been doing good enough.

Floor Play - Make Me Wanna Dance

2007-08-28T23:00:00.000+08:00

Got free ticket from my friend, so we went to watch this dance performance.

Well, having to sit so still when listening to the strong music and watching the dancers dancing, made me feel so strange. It was a good show but I still enjoyed watching the Tango dance more during my Argentina trip.

Burn the Floor combines the incredible talent of the worlds best dancers, spectacular costumes and music, a collage of dance styles including salsa, rumba, cha cha and tango all with a sexy, modern edge.

Gathering With 'Ex-Brazil Colleagues'

2007-08-22T07:50:00.000+08:00

One of my colleagues and I organised a dinner gathering with those colleagues that we used to work together in Brazil. Most of them were back to Singapore for good so there are quite a number of them. If all of them can make it, I believe the number of people can be double.

Here's my colleagues and friends.................
We had our dinner at this Northern Indian Cuisine Restaurant - Moti Mahal Restaurant and the food is good. At least there are choices for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

My Vegetarian Choice
My Tea

Of course, lots of laughter during the dinner when we were cracking all of our jokes which always began with "Last time when I/we were there, we used to do .........". Of course, we also like to compare now and then, ha ha, sounds like old men and women gathering but I enjoyed it.

National Day Rally 2007 - City of Possibilities; Home for All

2007-08-20T08:42:00.000+08:00

1. Introduction
2. Income Gap – leaving no one behind
3. Upgrading Education – levelling up society
4. Ageing Population – living active lives
5. Working Longer – more savings for old age
6. Improving CPF – building a nest egg
7. Upgrading & Renewal – best home for all
8. Forging Ahead – go for it together

I believe most of us watched the Rally last night, listening to the above topics that related to us, young and the elderly. There are so much that the government and ourselves need to do in order to have better life in this competitive world.

Well, at least one good news for us is the increasing of CPF 1% interest rate.

So for me, no more thinking of retire at age of 55, unless I am rich enough to survive and perhaps a bit more to go for vacation.

I am taking my part-time degree course and hope this will helps my salary increase by another 28% if 14% increase of wage for each schooling year. (Hope this apply for part-time student like me)

Another 30 over years and I will become one of the ageing population. Most likely, I will be staying alone as getting a partner is still a mystery to me. Perhaps I should save enough money to live in old folk home in future.

Well, hopefully housing rate do not increase to the highest when I hit the requirement age to buy my own house. Anyway I am working hard to save as much as I can to get my own HDB flat now.

See, I have quite a few to do for myself and sorry to say that, for my own next generation, I am not ready for that yet.

What about you?

I am Back to My Busy Life

2007-07-30T15:43:00.000+08:00

Added one of my favourite photos taken in Perth.

It has been a week plus since I am back from Perth.

Weeeee, so busy with my class assignment (x4) and discussion with my classmates that I dont even have the time to upload photos taken in Perth. Ivy has been asking for it, and I also hope that I can upload them by this week.

I also missed the chance to write my little review on the two movies I watched, just before and after the Perth trip. Before was Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, and after was the Simpsons Movie.

For those who wanted to laugh out a bit, I strongly recommend Simpsons Movie.

New 7 Wonders of the World

2007-07-08T09:51:00.000+08:00

Sad to say that the olden 7 Wonders of the Ancient World was destroyed, partly by human being. So with this new 'selection' of the new wonders, I hope it can lasts longer than the olden one.

The New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07.

The new Seven Wonders in full are:
Chichén Itzá, Mexico
Christ the Redeemer, Brazil
The Great Wall, China
Machu Picchu, Peru
Petra, Jordan
The Roman Colloseum, Italy
The Taj Mahal, India.

So happened that I had been to two of the wonders when I was in Brazil. Some photos to share with once again.

Machu Picchu, I really love this place and the people there.

I look sick cos I am not feeling quite good at that time but I do enjoy.

This is one of the door through this little city, or university they called them.

Another Visit To Polyclinic Again

2007-07-03T16:20:00.000+08:00

My face has been on and off appearing red with white spot somewhere on my left cheek for quite sometime. Today I decided to consult doctor before it become worst. Instead going to National Skin Center directly, I guess the best and cheaper way is to get doc from Polyclinic to refer to.

So once again, I entered the main enterance of this clinic, knowing very well it is going to be a journey of 'at least three hours waiting'. Well what to do, I seriously do not wish to consult our company doctor, so this is the only choice left.

My sister accompanied me this time, all the other remains the same except........

1) At pre-registeration counter, the clerk asked "Here to see doc?". My sis asked me "Are you here to consult doc", "Of course, what else?". Then my sis said, "Obviously people here is to consult doc, why the clerk is asking this question to everyone." Then I realised the joke and I said perhaps some of them are here for other purpose. Then she said "In that case, she should be asking what is our purpose."

2) While waiting and waiting, a young man who acted like a gangster, or thought he himself is Da Ge Da, has been waited for too long that he lost his temper. Went into the doctor's consulting room and start shouting why is he waiting for that long. Then came out and talked over the phone with his friend with fxxx words that if not because his company only recognised polyclinic MC, he won't be here.
Oh come on! He is not the only one who need to wait for long time and not the only company who only recognise government MC. Poor me here have to go through the same thing.

3) The nurse officer will call a few patients to bring them for weight measurement. I believed she do not speak well in dialect, else we wont have this little joke here. At first, she will use both English and Mandarian to call out the number. When no response, she will try her best to call out in dialect - Hokkien. So happened that the few of them were elderly who only understand Hokkien. Then she will said (in Hokkien) "I see how many pound you are?". Then my sis "Aiyo, she thought she is selling pig, how many pound you are..." Then I laughed and asked how should she ask then. "I need to have the measurement of your weight lah" (Plssss over here you have to imagine this sentence in Hokkien, then you can catch the joke) I LOL.

4) Then finally we were queueing to collect our medicine at the pharmacy which happen to have one small promotion counter at the enterance, selling natural (or organic) cereal. We first went in to get the number, the aunt (promoter) asked my sis whether she wants to try their product. "No, thanks" my sister answered. Then we went outside to wait (since the pharmacy is crowded with people) and that aunt asked again. My sister shaked her head.
Then we decided to go into the pharmacy to get drink after a while, the aunt asked again. This time my sis smiled to her and shaked her head again. I started to laugh saying perhaps too many 'customers' and she can't recognise my sis. We went out again, thg she won't be asking but we were wrong. This time my sis totally ignored her and I teased her that maybe she see you as a potential customer. When we went to the last time to collect my medicine and came out the last time, my sister headed straight to the main enterance before that aunt got her final chance to ask, hahahahaha, what a day to end my long waiting journey.

Hurry up!

2007-07-02T15:05:00.000+08:00

Just two weeks from now, I will be heading to Perth for a week to study as a full-time student. This is part of the programs for my part-time degree course at SIMM. Before we arrive there, our principle assigned three group projects to each group, two need to hand over when we reach the Curtin university, the last one we can finish after we are back.

Yet time is running out for the whole class. So much to do yet so little time. Ok I admit I am not that hardworking cos I still go out for my appointment. Just can't be that good girl like I used to be long long time ago, and do nothing but study. That's why I have to push myself harder a bit to complete my part before the deadline.

So hurry up!!!!!!

Beneficiary

2007-07-01T22:51:00.000+08:00

Just recently, special friend told me that in Singapore, we are not allow to change our beneficiary (benefactor) as and when we want after we had made our nomination for all our CPF and insurance policy etc.

Unless you have stated as per your will (which means you can change your will), else you have to get agreement from your appointed beneficiary before you can amend it.

I have absolutely no idea about this and feels so surprise, even until now. Trying to find out more from the (Singapore) web but can't find any. I had been asking around my family and friends and got the same reaction like mine. I will check it out from my insurance broker to find out more.

Meanwhile, anyone up there know about this????

Transformers

2007-06-30T21:54:00.000+08:00

Now we are in the world of 'Robot' and enjoy watching the movie of robot. Just hope the story of the movie do not appear to our real world, cos I don't think human being can really handle them when they betray us. So scary................

Our world will be transformed when aliens make Earth their final battleground in "Transformers." As the forces of evil seek the key to ultimate power, our last chance for survival rests in the hands of young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf).

Director: Michael Bay

Main Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel

Genre:Action/ Adventure

Running Time:132 minutes

My Rate: ****1/2 (for the computer effect)

I feel........I was told the story isn't any attractive (by the way, we hardly have much 'touching' movie nowsaday, perhaps it can't hit the movie box) so I only expecting to watch on the computer effect, which is great. At least I know that the building in our real world remains safety, unlike this movie, badly destory. But the fighting part is a bit messy to me, I can't tell who and who is fighting, of course I am referring to the Transformers.

After all, I like this movie.

Fruity Day Again

2007-06-29T07:41:00.000+08:00

I remembered we were given a green apple during last March, and today we will get a red apple.

Beauty Queen Apple is darker red in color, has a higher sugar level & crisp inner flesh and provides a delicately sweet flavor.
Beauty Queen Apple can be eaten plain, made into sauce or jelly, or it can be included in a variety of salads, meat dishes, pies, and other desserts. As a dried fruit, it can be added to a variety of baked goods or in a fresh form, it can be used to produce juice, vinegar, cider, and alcoholic beverages, such as hard cider and apple brandy
Medium to large sized round, Beauty Queen Apple has excellent storage ability. To store, keep the Beauty Queen Apple as cold as possible in the refrigerator.

Prevent Apples from Turning Brown
· Brush the surface of the apple with lemon juice.
· Place the apple in water that has had lemon juice, cider vinegar or ascorbic acid. (Do not over-soak the apple. Drain and pat dry before eating).
· Dip the apple slices in lemon-lime soda.Soak apple slices in apple juice until ready to use. The acidity in the apple juice prevents the apple slices from browning and doesn't change the flavor of the apple.

Well, I already got one red apple from my sister today, hee hee.

The Quiet Clarke Quay

2007-06-24T19:54:00.000+08:00

I went to Liang Court to collect my book from Kinokuniya Bookstore on Saturday afternoon after my class.

When on my way to the MRT station, I passby Clarke Quay which I had not been there for years. So many changes since then.......

In case you are lost.
The colourful Clarke Quay

I love this design

Any idea what shop is this? I can't figure out.

Alarm Clock

2007-06-19T09:03:00.000+08:00

I left home to work at 5.40am everyday, passing few blocks before reaching bus-stop. The street was quiet and I can count the number of people walking on the street. Familiar faces but seldom did any one of us greet to each other.

The street or I should say the car park that I pass by every morning was so quiet that I can hear the ringing of the alarm from one of the windows. Ring….ring….ring…ring… but no one seems to be wakening up in that room. Hearing the ringing continue, I began to wonder did this wake the neighbours instead. Ha ha ha.

So coincidently, I was talking about waking up in the morning as special friend has been sleeping late recently.

SF: “I guess my alarm clock is not working.”
Me: “Alarm clock? I set my HP alarm to wake me up since they have this feature on the hp.”
SF: “Using HP? I don’t think this can wake me up.”
Me: “Well, then set to the loudest voice lor. Can always give it a try”
SF: “……..” (No reply)

Now I know why some people prefers alarm clock, you might need one that is loud enough to wake your neighbour before waking yourself.

Check out for the top ten most annoying alarm clocks.

$$$$ For Future House

I went to this Home Ideas Exhibition 2007 held at Suntec City.

No, I am yet to get my own HDB flat, still a couple of years to go before I reach the eligible age to buy own flat. But it is good to know the market price for the flat and the renovation charges; after all I still need to have enough saving before moving on to the next step.

To start from zero, I will have to get a HDB flat, guess might be a 4-room flat which might costs around 250k in few years time. (I can’t believe a 5-rooms HDB flat can cost more than 700K today). Then at least a 40k is needed to have fully furnished house, not much of luxury lifestyle at this cost. So a total estimating of 300K will be spend to get a roof, which hopefully can turn up a home for myself. Not a small amount, I mean how many people up there can really save so much in order to have comfortable shelter.

Of course, all of these can be pay by installment. Even paying the deposit itself can be tough for a single. Hmmm, I guess more than half of my earning will be gone by paying off all these debts. To those experienced guys up there, am I right?

Some of my friends teased me that I should get one man; at least I have someone to split all these costs. Ha ha ha, what an idea!

So at the end, to achieve for a home sweet home, I have to work harder than ever. Hope my goal in life does not stop for this house only.

Watching Two Movies Over Weekend

2007-06-11T07:50:00.000+08:00

Weekend always seem to be so short with so many things to do.

I bought a new super single size King Koil bed and cabinet for my room on last Sun and was expecting their delivery on sat late afternoon(3 to 6pm). Asked my family to stay home and wait for them, but ended up they only arrived around 6 to 8pm. Thanks to the new bed, I managed to sleep quite well for the past two nights and hope this will lasts, hee hee.

Hmmm I still managed to watch two movies, one of them is FOC.

When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he had in mind was becoming the next King. But when Shrek's father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, that is exactly what he faces. Unless Shrek (with the help of his trusted companions Donkey and Puss In Boots) can find a suitable King for Far Far Away, the ogre could be stuck with the job. The most promising candidate, Fiona's cousin Artie, an underachieving Medieval high school slacker, proves to be more of a challenge than they bargained for.
Director: Raman Hui, Chris Miller
Main Cast: Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy
Genre: Animated / Comedy
Running Time: 93 minutes

My rate: **1/2

I feel ……. I didn’t watch the first two so have no idea on the storyline. Quite funny and entertaining one but frankly speaking, I will not watch it if this is not FOC.

On Sunday

Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and the gang would have only one reason to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist—to defend one of their own. When ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino) double-crosses one of the original Ocean’s eleven - Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) - Danny and the gang team up one more time to see if they can break “the Bank.” Director: Gore Verbinski
Main Cast: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon
Genre: Comedy
Running Time: 122 minutes

My rate: ****

I feel….. I always love to watch this kind of movie. How the evil beaten by the good using their intelligent, the high and latest technology and most of it, the handsome and beauties on the screen. And in this movie, how the Casino 'win' the gamblers' money, so better watch out when you visit Casino next time.

What’s keep a love relationship lasts?

2007-06-07T10:24:00.000+08:00

Love
Trust
Communication (of cos not in harsh way)
Commitment
Patient
Little tolerance, I guess.
(What’s more to learn in this learning curve?)

If one of the above is losing, can this relationship lasts?
==========================================

One more to add for the above, that is Understanding.

What’s next to increase?

2007-06-02T22:36:00.000+08:00

We were told of the GST years ago, from 0 to 3%, then 5% and now 7% on the coming July. Now, milk – fresh, evaporated and condensed – has cost more in recent weeks due to global demand, increases between 10 to 55 cents.

Today, when I went to the venting drinking machine during break time of my class, surprisingly I realized there are increases of price for all can drinks too. From $0.90 to $1.20, from $1.20 to $1.50, almost 30% increased. My goodness, why they always like to in-line with our salary increment period? No wonder I never realize the good feel of my increment salary, cos it was always ‘eaten up’ by all increases of our living costs.

Now I begin to worry, what’s next for the increase? Maybe coffee and tea with milk?

Mint Museum Of Toys

2007-05-27T22:38:00.000+08:00

I have been wanted to go this place since long time. Today, I happened to be at City Hall area so I get special friend to go with me.

So happen that today is the last day for the Musuems Alive, we still stand the opportunity to have 1-for-1 admission.

The museum show a world class collection of toys that bring us back some of our memories, and we might have not see most of the toys too. Today is a good journey for me at this five-storey building, enjoying looking at every toy. I took a lot of photos and thanks to the museum, this is allowed.

If you have not yet been there, enjoy viewing the photos.
And see which one is still your favourites.

Gathering With Old Friends

2007-05-27T22:00:00.000+08:00

After long organising for this gathering, finally I met my old friends. The last meeting with this group of old friends was during one of their wedding dinner, that was more than two years ago. My god, time just passes like this, and here we are again, 4 guys plus one lady, that's me, had lunch again after such long time.

We talked about our recent update, our jobs and old time story. Nothing much change for most of us except one of them married and the other with his next generation. The meeting was not very long but at least I finally managed to meet his little baby girl.

The little baby girl just woke up so can't make her smile........... It is great to meet old friends at least once a year.

After that, I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End.

In the follow-up to PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST, we find our heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker - while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat).

Director: Gore Verbinski
Main Cast: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Chow Yun Fat
Genre: Action/ Adventure
Running Time: 170 minutes

My Rate: ***

I feel............. nowsaday is it a norm that the movie is so long? Almost 3hrs in the theatre, sitting at 5th row watching this movie is not the very good choice. Thanks god I had popcorn with me to go thr the whole movie, guess it was not as nice as I expected. That's why I feel the time is clicking.

I don't quite like the storyline, which made this just an enternainment movie to me only. There are so funny parts that made me laugh, haha.

"Eat With Your Family Day"

2007-05-25T14:54:00.000+08:00

Singapore government has designated Friday, May 25, as Eat With Your Family Day, urging people on a Web site to strengthen family ties through the "simple act of sitting down and taking a meal together more frequently". (The annual "Eat With Your Family Day", which always falls on a Friday before the start of the mid-year school break for students)

So our management also enhance this and we were told to knock off on dot today, unless urgent stuff to clear. But I don't see much people here will really bother about this. I personally feels that if we can't or do not wish to have dinner together with your family on your normal days, do you think you will care much on this 'special day'.

So how often do you have dinner with your family, sitting together on the same table. Lucky me will have at least 3 or 4 times weekly.

Of course, government intention is very much appreciate but does it work effectively or not, who knows?

Life is getting busier again, so plan ahead.

2007-05-23T14:44:00.000+08:00

After attending each core unit subject, we will bounce to have at least two assignments to do, giving us approximate 3 weeks deadline to complete. Luckily, my group (so far we have our own fix study group) is very hardworking, to finish our assignment as soon as possible before the snow ball gets bigger after each class. But still, the scenario will not end till we complete our whole course. Even heard from our previous batch students that our study will be quite busy and tough during the week in Perth, which will be during this coming July.

At work, there are still a lot of outstanding issues to be settled. My attachment to Engineering is still in progress and so is the IQC project. Anyway, who have ever finished their job at work? That’s why we are being employed, hee hee.

Despite having so many things to do, I do hope I can have relaxation during the week. Like my favourite facial, my massage and a little outing during the weekend. Hmmm, I must have a good planning.

My Sick Week

2007-05-21T14:36:00.000+08:00

About my ‘holiday’ last week, it was like a dream to me cos basically everything to me seems to be ‘on hold’ or stop. I didn’t eat much (but didn’t lose much weight), I didn’t do much thing too (no wonder I didn’t lost weight ha ha) cos I felt tire easily. I believe caring and loving is what a patient needed most when he/she is sick, at least this is how I feel. And I am glad that I have my loving sisters who were there for me, and now I love them even more. I am lucky to have special friend who also accompanied me as much as he could.

During those sick days, some of my close colleagues sent their regards to me, but not from the management level. Even some of my blogger’s friends also wish me ‘Get well soon’. Perhaps when work life is so busy, the management will tends to forget the tendency to care for their employer. Only when you are back to your work station, they will ask “How are you now”? I don’t expect anything from them either, but this brought me some questions, “How much do I actually care for my own family, friends and colleagues?” “How much time do I really spend with my family?” “And how should I live in a healthier lifestyle, so that my sister can less worry about me?” I am so sorry that I made her so worry for me last week, which I can sensed her sadness there.

In our culture, we know well that we don’t express ourselves much, even when we do really care for someone. I guess this is the reason why we don’t feel much love and passion around us. So I will want myself to be more passionate in life, to let my loved one feel my love, to brighten up my life in any way, even life is so busy.

And now if you ask me to weight between my job and family, I think my answer is obvious. Cos my family can never be replaced and they are the one who were there when I need love and caring.

Back To Normal

2007-05-19T22:23:00.000+08:00

Lucky for me that my temperature was back to normal after resting at home on the 3rd day, without much help from any medicine of relief fever which I am allergy to.

Today my life is back to normal, by attending my course again.

After my class, I met special friend at City Hall for dinner before heading home.

Me at Out of the Pan Restaurant at City Hall, at last get to go out for dinner.

My devil mango drink but taste like syrup

My vegetarian Mama Margherita

The little fountain in the restaurant

After great dinner, we went Hzzgen-Dazs for our dessert. Just to end our day with some sweetness.

Higher Fever Brought Me To A&E

2007-05-15T09:06:00.000+08:00

My whole Sat was surrounded with heat, unwanted heat, as my fever and pain did not reduce any, so basically I sleep the day away. I didn’t mention this before, actually I am allergy to Panadol which contain paracetamol, one of the necessary medicine for fever relief (but secretly n risky, I will take one to relief the fever. Seem this time it is not working) It hit my sis’s alarm when she sees my fever (at 38deg plus) have no improvement at all, so decided to bring me to A&E dept at TTS during the night time.

Only one visitor with one patient was allowed to enter the clinic, and pls be reminded to bring both I/C along, else entrance is not permitted. Waited for long two hours, finally got the doc consultation and exam I was virus infection (Let me keep the details to myself). I was told to admit “24hours observation ward” for further review.

Note: This “24hours observation ward” is not the same as normal ward.

So my whole Sunday was in the tire, painful, heaty and sleepy condition, ‘ruled’ by those scheduled routine. ‘Ms Tan xxxxx, pls take your medicine’. ‘Ms Tan xxxxx, time to take you temperature.’ ‘Ms Tan xxxxx, your lunch is here.’ ‘Ms Tan xxxxxx I need to inject you……..’ Then I can feel my life is closer to the recycle routine. No TV, no radio – that is one of the diff between 24hrs & the norm. Luckily special friend was there with me the whole day, with a lot of newspaper and magazine.

Blood test, ultrasound test done. All ok except no sight of improvement on fever.

Docs with senior doc consult review time, 8.30am, 3.30pm and 10.30pm. Each time I requested to discharge but insisted on the last round. Senior doc allowed me to go home at my own risk taken, to bring back my 38plus deg fever. 7 days hospital leave to let me rest at home.

It took quite a while to settle the discharge administration process and medicine collection, when reach home it was passed mid-night.

Monday, fever becomes my closest ‘friend’ and it bring along with diarrhea. Luckily my appetite return bit by bit and I realized how wonderful it is to be able to appreciate the food we always have. I am still fighting hard with these two ‘friend’ but seriously speaking, they gave me a lot of viewing too, will share with you all when I am getting better.

Fever

2007-05-11T12:28:00.000+08:00

I am on leave today and suppose to do something for myself. But now, it was cancelled.

Had been struggling myself through the whole yesterday, went for one meeting after another. When reached home, I forced myself to eat a little and went to bed immediately. Slight fever and whole body is aching. Woke up at least once each hour to go toilet and to drink more water during the night.

Finally dawn arrived, I felt much better. Got myself to sleep more to 'compensate' the loss sleep during the night. My kind sister made some "Lin Yang" for me to drink, ate some breakfast but suddenly fever come again. I guess having fever is like this, up and down, up and down. Took one Panadol, and went back to sleep.

During my sleep, I dreamt all my Brazilian Kakis are in Singapore and we are having lot of fun. Guess I miss them so much, miss their fun-loving which I think I hardly have it in Singapore. Sometime, you really need to put some effort to make life a little more interesting in Singapore, else it can be quite bore & stress during normal routine.(You can be busy but still feel boring)

Management

2007-05-10T19:59:00.000+08:00

I remembered taking one of the core unit - Mangement 100 not long ago, the lecturer taught us about how a manager should be managing his team. Such as how to organise, do planning, get the right man to do the right job, human relationship etc. All mentioned about IQ, but what about EQ?

This question pop out of my mind after I attended my so-called first time Management Project Meeting. My big boss wanted to have the feel of it since I am the project coodinator of this project. (Every project have a representative from each dept, like Commercial dept, Engineering dept and of cos, the project management to gather all info for the project for weekly meeting). And this Management meeting is held monthly from all section heads to further discuss about problems occur.

I can't be talking abou the topis discussed since it's confidential. But sitting behind the big round table, looking at all the managers (from section head to ED/MD), I can feel that it is so negative to become part of management. I am not saying there is no positive thinking and good behaviour among them, but looking at the fire shooting around (but yet I still feel so cold cos I am sick, again, sigh), the negative sides of it covered everything. Political, saying different stories in front of the big bosses, doing "tai chi", and for the first time I can realy feel why they always say big bosses see only big picture cos they don't even want to listen a word more about the explanation. Perhaps time consume. Could it due to each different characteristic or to join in the 'culture', everyone have to act 'big and fierce' throughout the meeting.

So I see no EQ in this meeting at all. I do understand it is not easy being a manager is not easy cos you have to due to more things, more (diff level) people, big picture. But does that means being a manger, you can throw pamper at others, hinting that at least I can throw up my stress???? My friend always said to me, you are not a manager so you won't be able to understand how stressful and tough the job can be. Maybe so, I am not in that position, so I never able to understand but try to understand, if they can use EQ (control their temper) in front of the big bosses, why can't they use EQ in front of his staff?

Another question out, did I ever respect any of my bosses here????

One At A Time, plsssss......

2007-05-09T14:20:00.000+08:00

As usual, I went to work in the early morning and I met my colleague at the bus-stop, waiting for the feeder bus. Both of us looked so tire (as she is not fully recover from her sickness yet) and in fact we are tire. Then suddenly, I felt left side of my neck aching. Then I said to myself, "Oh, come on. Pls do not let all the aching problem come all at one time. I am so tire of having here pain, there pain. Do I age so much over night?"

So throughout my journey to work, I felt so uneasy and disturbed. I didn't even bother to go for breakfast when reached office and was hesitating whether should I visit my company doctor or not. Finally, I can't stand the aching which has more or less disturbing my life, I went to the medical center to see the doc. Told him my problem and most importantly, I can't get good sleep for the past few nights. This young doc (luckily not the other old doc who is strict and fierce most of the time) gave me one day MC to rest at home.

But my sister think I should go to visit Chinese doc again, as she felt the previous doc I went is not good at all. So my nephew drove me all the way from Yishun to Toa Payoh to see this doc, which he only see patients from 1pm to 6pm. The doc told me, while treating my problem, that the previous doc did not do the good job. The main problem was my nerve of both shoulder is 'out of place', so he just need to adjust it back. It was not as painful as the previous one and really, I feel so muc better after that. Then he said, I should feel even better tomorrow (Is he hinting me that if I still feel the pain, I can go back and see him FOC????).

And now, 3pm at home, I am going for a good sleep before going out for group discussion with my classmates in the evening. Frankly speaking, I still think I can't fully feel relax when I still have so much thing in my mind. My assignment, my attachment at work, the IQC........sigh, that's life. Anyway, go to sleep first.

Am I a Problematic Girl?

2007-05-07T20:55:00.000+08:00

For the past two nights before falling asleep, I felt sudden pain at the front right side (below my stomach) of my body. I do not know what it should be call at that part of my body, but I can feel the nerve is pulling very tight that make me feel the pain. But what upset me most is that how little I know about the altas of my own body. Hmmm, I think not only that, I am poor in Geography, history, physical, chemistry, literature..... basically what I had learnt from school, I only know a little each.

So I go online to find out more about our body and I guess the part that I feel pain is appendictis (confined to intensive) (肠). Should be ok as long as the pain is bearable and short term.

Aiyo, am I a problematic girl? First is my back ache (when I stand too long, I can feel the aching), then follow by my neck which till now I can feel my nerve pain. And now is my intestine. Hope all these little pain don't become a big one.

Dinner At Fullerton

2007-05-03T23:05:00.000+08:00

Went Fullerton for dinner with few colleagues and took some pic.

I simply love to watch the Merlion. Don't know why, it always make me feel peace and calm when watching her.

The Merlion Story

The beautiful view that the Merlion is watching at.........

And finally, my vegetarian set dinner at Palm Beach. The food is good but it will be better if they come separately. The weather was good to have our dinner outside the restaurant, along the riverside.

But I started to feel my whole body aching (due to my neck) at the end of the dinner. I already felt dead tired on my way home.

When Things Gone...Still Remain Here

2007-05-01T16:01:00.000+08:00

Remember I mentioned about the unforunate young girl who just passed away not long ago.

Her last published story on her blog has been read by more people and I saw read that too. I do not know her but she looked so sweet from the blog (I was told not to publish her blog address) More hints was told from her last story, at least she was not in the good health (as I was told she is in pink health) for the last few days as she complaint of having diarrhea, tough breathing, fainting, weak & dizzy etc. And she was facing a lot of stress at her new contract work due to heavy workloads and deadline etc. A lot of people also leave down their remarks after knowing she is not longer here.

Comments mentioned to sue the company and manager, some commented it's not the company fault, she should have to do something about it to handle her stress. Should quit and don't focus only on money etc. Each comment have their own opinion.

To me, I just pray for her to rest in peace.

I believe same incident happens around us, around the world. Work is important but health and family is even more important. So pls do not do nothing when you feel stress that you know you might not able to handle. Talk to your boss if you think you can't handle your workload, talk to your family or friends to ease the stress. We only live for once. So you decide, you can chose "Work to Live" or "Live to Work".

Labour Day

2007-05-01T15:52:00.000+08:00

Today is Labour Day but too bad there is no Golden Week in Singapore.

I suppose to meet my study group for discussion on our group assignment but my neck pain is still irritating me. So I thought I should go for Chinese doctor to massage on my neck to ease off the pain before meeting them. He said that my neck pain is due to the blood colt so he 'work real hard' to cure my pain. He mentioned that I should have get treatment earlier on and not till now. And right, this is the result of the treatment and I have to go back home cos I am not suppose to move around too much.

Sigh! Praying I can fully recover tmr.

The pain goes on but is recovering.....

2007-04-30T13:05:00.000+08:00

We all know that health is the most important thing in life. Without good health, we can't do much thing even you are the richest person in life.

Just this 'seems like not big deal neck pain' is painful enough for me to feel frustrated for the past few days. I struggled myself to wake up yesterday morning and get my nephew to drive me to the class, as I do not wish to absent myself from the lesson. But I simply can't concentrate on anything. I had been trying to focus on what the lecturer said, but still failed to do so. So I attended half day class and went home by cab to get more rest.

Thought I will fully recover when I woke up 5am this morning, but who knows the pain is still there. I think this is the worst 'neck pain' I ever got and pls loh, let me fully recover before the Labour Day. I need to get a lot things done both at work and in life (I mean my study at this moment, so many assignments need to complete and group discussion with my study group).

And by the way, HAPPY LABOUR DAY. Try not to work too hard on this day ok.

Oops My Neck

2007-04-28T12:24:00.000+08:00

I have been attending my lesson for the last few weekends, and each week I wish I could have an excuse of need not to go.

This morning I have a good one..............I sprinked my neck when woke up and can't move much action. Quite in the pain (although still bearable) but I won't be able to carry big bag as needed to, so I decided to stay home to rest. Then I realised it is still better for me to be in good condition to attend the class. At least I get to sit down and learn new knowledge with my classmates.

Alamak, I think I still didn't cherish enough of each moment hor.

The Art of Branding Continue

2007-04-27T12:16:00.000+08:00

I continue this from CoolerInsight's blog. I saw this just outside Orchard MRT station so just want to publish for sharing.
It will be interesting if they do paint all the 800s letterbox island wide, Walter. I will take pic as and when I see this creative art.

Gathering With My Ex-Kaki

2007-04-26T22:56:00.000+08:00

Had a gathering with one ex-colleague(I didn't get to see her for 2 years) since she is in town and 3 of us went to "Pizza Walker" at Wisma Atria for dinner.

I took some pic of the foods ordered but decided not to publish due to the disappointment. Saying it in the nice way, their soup, pizza (for myself) and pasta (for my ex-col and special fd) don't suit our taste at all. Hope you guys get what I wanted to say, they really made me 'walk away'. And the food is exp too. Worst, special fd vomitted out what he ate when reached home. He feels much better after throwing out all the food which he dislike the taste so much.

Luckily the food did not spolit our gathering mood, we enjoyed a lot talking about our old days and exchanging info of our current status. My ex-col has been doing Yoga twice a week since she resigned and she slimmed down a lot then. No wonder Jennifer love Yoga so much that she can go for it almost every day.

===============================================

P.S, This restaurant was recommended by my colleague, saying the food was nice. I just mentioned to her about our incident. I guess the chief must be different, that's why turn up to have different result.

The Rainy Days..............

2007-04-25T21:34:00.000+08:00

"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. Little children want to play."
Anyone remember this? I still remember this little sentence (but duno where I got this from).

But I do not remember that now is the rainy season in Singapore, where have the sun gone? It's been raining almost everyday for the past weeks and worst, at least to a lot of my colleagues and myself; it always started to rain at 4.30pm when we knock off. The sky was always so dark in the afternoon but only started to pour so heavily at that hour. The only explanation we gave was, our "Feng Shi" here is good, water mean wealth. Anyway, this is simply how we feel when it started to rain, not such of complaining.

Nevertheless, I can’t stop to worry as the Global Climate Change each day.

'most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be attributable to human activities'.

I guess we are far too slow to start doing something to reduce the ‘hurting’. Last time I used to think we can do something to HELP the global warning but now, I think the right word to use is to REDUCE. Unlike the olden days, today we are using things in our daily life (for our convenience) that are damaging the earth. So I started to use the reuse bag, to cut down my water usage (but still continue to drink at least 1.5Ltr of water each day, hee hee) and electricity. And here’s more tips from BBC website to share with you.

Things you can do today at no cost:
* Turn off lights when you leave a room
* Only boil the amount of water you need in your kettle
* Turn off televisions, videos, stereos and computers when they are not in use - they can use between 10 and 60% of the power they use when on
* Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary, let food cool down fully before putting in the fridge or freezer, defrost regularly and keep at the right temperature
* Close curtains at dusk to keep in heat
* Let your clothes dry naturally rather than using a tumble drier
* Use economy programmes on dishwashers or washing machines
* Where possible don't stand cookers and fridges/freezers next to each other

Things you can do in the future or with an initial cost:
* Put foil behind radiators fitted on external walls
* Use energy saving lightbulbs - they use a quarter of the electricity and last much longer
* Insulate your hot water tank and pipes
* Speak to your energy provider about their 'green tariff' - they may be able to match your energy consumption with an equivalent amount of energy from renewable sources
* Fit seals to externals doors, skirting boards and floor boards to reduce heat loss - 15% of heat is lost through draughts and 15% through the floor
* Make your windows draught proof or fit double glazing - this cuts heat loss in half - up to 10% of heat is lost through uninsulated windows(NB ventilation is essential in rooms with gas, oil or solid fuel appliances so don't block of ventilation in rooms with these types of appliances.)
* Fit wall insulation - up to 33% of heat is lost through uninsulated walls
* Replace old inefficient boilers

For tips on environmentally friendly transport, shopping and saving water, see 'other ways to help'.

When Things Gone.......

2007-04-24T16:17:00.000+08:00

This morning, one of my friends told me that one young colleagues of her just passed away suddenly. It was sudden news to them as she was so young (early 20s) and pink in health.

No one can predict the future, not even the next second.

That’s why I always keep telling myself ought to treasure every moment. Try not to be too emotional over little thing, always be as happy and cheerful as I can cos I never know what will happens to me the very next second. I always like to let my family and friends know that how much I treasure them and love them a lot. I might not have very luxuries or super good life, but at least I want to live my life without regrets and have a wonderful time when I am still ‘exist’.

HSE Promotion Campaign

2007-04-23T16:09:00.000+08:00

Our company HSE is promoting their safety campaign for "Free Hand Injuries Campaign" this morning, and all employees gathered in front of our building for the short ceremony. 7 staffs spoken in 7 different language to pass on the safety message.

Hand injuries occurred often in our company and I believe a lot of places too. So hereby just a little reminder to all my friends, always have to be careful at all times. I do have a few friends who got hand injuries before, and some were serious injured. Even a little paper cut hurt us too.

Always be cautious at all time.
