Mooncake

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

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

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

NDP 2009

Hope I can get the ticket this year!

Australia Trip Cum My Graduation-Gold Coast

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

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

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

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

Ever famous White Tiger now in Singapore

1,000 Places To See Before You Die

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

"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!!!

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

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

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.............

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

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

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

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

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)

Happy Birthday, Ai Ni.
