Updates~

It's been 10 days since my last update Well, here goes~

Sunday 18th
We are celebrating Siew Siew's bday today.

Met Shirley and gang at Dhoby Ghaut MRT and then walk over to the Steamboat restaurant at Paradiz for our dinner. The food serve by this restuarant is interesting. I like the ½ boiled egg in the starter. In summary, the food there is nice and I'm planning to bring ma parents there soon.

Friday
The long awaited day has finally arrived~ Today is the day for my holiday on Star Cruise Virgo. I have never been on a cruise before and is looking forward to it.

I went directly to Harbour Front from my work place and reached there around 645pm. Went to grab some magazines and off to check in and board the cruise.

Went to our room and leave our stuff there before going for the briefing. After that, the exploring of Star Cruise Virgo starts...

We went up to the deck and stay there till the cruise sail off. We nearly died of fright when they sound the horn, we did not expect that they will do that and it caught us unprepared.

After watching the cruise sail out of the harbour, we started to walk around and get our bearings. And it is also the time for the photo taking session I took a pic of the loving couple which reminds me of the show "Meteror Garden".



I wonder if they will upload those pictures and pass me the link like our HK trip ...

Saturday
Woke up around 615am to get ready to watch the sunrise, which is at 648am. After getting ready, we went up to the sun deck and get ready to snap pictures of the sunrise. To our dismay, the sun is hiding behind the clouds and did not show it's face. Still, Nic managed to take some pictures of the sun.

After watching the sunrise, we went over to the "Galaxy of Stars" to check out their breakfast. Well, they only offer some pastries and beverages. We took a few pastires and pick a cosy little corner to enjoy the quiet morning. The we went for our actual breakfast which is chinese dim sum.

Having finish breakfast, we head down to the swimming pool in our swimming attire. The morning and afternoon is spend relaxing in the Jacuzzi and dipping in the cold swimming pool. Here's a picture that I took the night before of the swimming pool.



Dinner for tonight can almost be call a feast. It is a BBQ at the pool side. They have BBQ sausage, chicken, lamb chop and also a variety of food. It is a great improvement to me.

Later that night, we met up with a storm and it got a little bit rocky. Just a little bit rocky, really, although the rain is pretty heavy.

Sunday
We were feeling tired and slept late into the morning. After we have freshen up, we vacate the room and head down to "Bella Vista" for our breakfast. After breakfast, we walk around and went to the theater to await our turn to disembark.

In summary, this is a nice getaway. I would say that it's the company that counts. Honestly, going for holiday with Shirley and Nic is fun. Everyday is filled with lotsa laughter. Now I am looking forward to going to Taiwan with them ... provided I am still in Singapore ...

Last but not least, here's something to share~

What Women Want

Updates

I haven been sleeping enough for the past few days and was feeling kinda stone. Which is why there wasn't any updates. So here goes~

Thursday
Saw Devon's post in F4D and also her msn nick and gathered that something happen between her and her boyfriend.

Send her a sms and after some chatting she agreed to meet up tomorrow. I asked Ronald over msn if he would like to meet up his Devon mei which he agreed. And usually if there's Ronald, there will also be his 3 buddies, Sam, Francis & Ong. So it's confirm, we will meet up tomorrow, time, venue and program to be decide later.

Friday
After a few rounds of duscussion, the final meet up place is set at Suntec City. We are going to have dinner follow by the show "Deuce Bigalow".

Sam is driving today so I met him at his office and then we went to pick up Ronald before heading off to Suntec City. We were caught in a jam and was late. Poor Devon has to wait for us. But the last person to reach is Francis followed by Ong.

Dinner is ok. Most of the time I was the one who's talking. Terrible right? As though I am super talkative...

We head off to the cinema after dinner. The show "Deuce Bigalow" is simply hilarious. Some of the scenes are gross but I feel that Deuce is a guy who understands women's needs and try to fulfill them. In the show there is a giant woman who wanted to have a baby so much but is just unable to conceive. What Deuce did is that he arrange for adoption of a baby for her. Isn't he sweet?

After the show, we went home. During the journey home, Devon and me chatted quite a lot. I hope that she will be able to make the right choice, main thing is that she have to be happy. All the best Devon~ do spend sometime to decide what is best for you.

Saturday
Woke up feeling really stone but I still went on to meet Gary at Cityhall as he wanted to buy something from The Bodyshop. And being a member there, I have 10% discount for their normal price items. In the end, he decided to buy vouchers which is not entitled to any discounts.

After that we went window shopping at Suntec. Went for a walk around the Fountain of Fortune, it's my first time walking round it and it's kinda fun. Here's some pics~

Flash again

Graduation Trip
Nice and touching... not everytime there will be a 2nd chance though.

Flash

Here's some flash to share~

True Love
Very touching. People usually realise the importance of the other party when they lose them...

Flowering
Being too stubborn at times might cause you to lose what is important...

The link for the Beginning of Zai Xing can be found in my earlier entries.

Clover Necklace

My Clover Necklace has gone into "retirement".

The hook on the pendant chip, meaning that if I wear it, it might drop anytime and I'll run the risk of losing the pendant for good.

I've decided to keep the pendant in it's box. No more worries about broken necklace and no need to source for matching necklace.

Guess this is really goodbye, for good.

Just wondering if any of you have bath with candle light in a HDB flat before? Well, I have ... last night. Long story, here goes.

I was taking a bus home and this Malay Lady got up and wanted to alight from the bus. As I was sitting on the outer seat, I turn aside to let her past. She was carrying 2 big plastic bag and something leak and drip onto the seat and me. I did not notice that there was some liquid on the seat and placed my hand on it.

The Malay lady told me that it was lemon juice and when she saw me wiping my hands and the seat, she asked me to wipe off all the liquid. I kinda doubt that those are lemon juice cause it felt oily. So I took a sniff and awww... the smell is like sardine fish! Smelly and fishy! Luckily I have some wet wipes with me.

After I alight, I received a call from my mom informing me that our apartment is having power failure! The entire block has black out. I went to buy some candles and went home. Not knowing when the electricity is going to be turn on again, I have to bath with the help of the candle light. It might sounds romantic but I am in no mood for that, cause the flame nearly went out when water spray onto the candle by accident.

The electricity came on sometime later but trip 2 more times before it got stable again. What a day...

Friday
Went to watch "The Corpse Bride" with Shirley, Nic, KL, Siew Siew & Ellen. It is a nice show and I find this statement that the corpse bride, Emily, said very touching. She said "Victor, I love you. But you are not mine" How sad... but this does happen in real life too.

After the show, we went to Indo Chine. This is the first time I'm there. Nice place. Here's the pic~



We left the place around 1am and took a Night Rider home (first time as well) The bus goes to Simei and I have to walk home from there. By the time I reach Simei, I'm hungry so I bought a cup noodle, add hot water and ate it while walking home

In Grown Toe Nail

My toe has been sore and swollen for the past week and thinking it's no big deal, I did not went to consult a doctor.

On Sunday night, the toe got really red and swollen with traces of blood flowing out. I got really worried and decided to see a doctor the following day.

So on Monday morning, I woke up much earlier and head off to the clinic. The wait was about ½ hour and when I describe my symptom to the doctor, he told me that I have an in-grown nail. He prescribe some antibiotics and medication to reduce the swelling and asked me to go back to him on Friday. If by then the situation is not improved, he said he will have to perform a minor operation to remove part of the nail plate. He then gave me 2 days medical leave to rest.

After a few days of medication, there has been a great improvement to the condition of my toe. I think I will be able to avoid the operation if things continue to improve as it is.

I won a pair of tix to Nokia Starlight Cinema

I was checking my hotmail and saw some emails in my junk folder. It is my habit to check the junk folder as some of my friends' email will be directed there.

When I went in, I saw an email from Nokia Starlight Cinema informing me that I have won a pair of tickets~! I was so happy~! I have wanted to go to the Starlight Cinema but I couldn't find anyone to join me, reason being the price is a little bit steep and the shows are already screened by the local cinemas. So I am so glad when I got this pair of free tickets

I asked Yee if she would like to go to the show with me and she is so nice to agree to accompany me to the show~ We choose to watch the show "Initial D" and I'm really glad cos the first time I watch it in the cinema, I didn't get a very good seat. This time round I got a really good view and under the stars somemore~ It is such a nice experience.

I've taken some pictures and upload it. Check it out~

Majhong at Ron's house

Sam buzz me in msn and asked if I would like to join their Mahjong session. I was hesitant as their rules are different. They do not have any ceiling and the minimun requirement to win is at least 2 tiles. In the end I agreed.

Sam picked me up at Aljunied MRT and head off to Ronald's house. I thought I can see "Girl Girl", the dog that Ronald adopted but his mom has brought it to her house.

Sometime in the night, Ronald and his girlfriend had a heated agruement. I was a bit shocked to witness it and kinda worried... But according to the 2 buddies, this is a common occurance. And I got to know how stubborn the 2 of them can be. Luckily it all got resolved in the end.

While I was surfing, I came across this quote and find it meaningful

Just because something good ends doesn't mean something better won't begin

How true... That is if you give it a chance to begin...

Disgusting thing

I saw something that I find really disgusting. This happens when I was on my way back to my office from lunch.

I was on the bus and it was stopping at a slip road, waiting for it's turn to move off. As I was sitting at the window seat, I caught an action out of the corner of my eye and turn to take a look.

I saw this young man standing at the traffic light waiting to cross the road. He has one finger stuck into his nostril and the next minute, he pull it out, along with a long string of muscus. You won't believe what he did next! He put that finger into his mouth and suck it clean!!! OMG!!! That is simply disgusting!! And he did it again and again! I was so disgusted that I nearly throw out my food there and then.

Sharing

Something to share for the day~
Rekindling an Old Flame... or Not

Starlight Cinema

I was attracted by the "Initial D" picture in MSN homepage and I went in to check what it was about. That's when I came to know about the Starlight Cinema.

It seems fun and I shared it with Ron and gang, asking if they will be interested in it. But they were not keen, the entrance fee are a little steep, they said. I have asked Shirley but she has watched most of the movies already... sigh.. nvm nvm, I will ask around and see who is interested.

The outdoor cinema reminds me of the time when I was a kid and I wanted to relieve those moments...

Anyway, check it out here. Show starts tomorrow.

Sky Pub

Friday
It's Friday, time to stay up late again, LOL.

Met Yee for dinner before we meet up with Ryan. He's asking us to go to a pub in Tanjong Pagar and it's the first time we are patronising it. Peng Peng, Vivian and some other people went down as well. One of their guy friend reminds me a little of my Didi. For a moment I was wondering if they are somehow related.

Overall, this place is not bad. I would prefer this place to C&C partly cos I can "breathe" better here.

Saturday
Woke up early in the morning as I have an appointment with Shirley and Nic. We are going down to MISA to make payment for our cruise to nowhere. Surprisingly, they do not accept Nets so I have to draw out the money from the ATM.

Although we have made payment, the booking is not consider complete as MISA has key in Nic's name wrongly. They will send the amended copy to me on Monday via email. The paperwork should be complete by Monday, so Star Cruise Virgo, here I come

Following this, we walk to City Hall to have lunch with Nic's friend. There's a married couple in the group with a baby girl who is really adorable~ I think one of Nic's friend came down just to see the baby.

The afternoon past pleasantly with lotsa laughter. I think I will never forget about this interesting incident about one of his friend regurgitating previously swallowed food and chewing on them again. Make me laugh till my tears roll down. It is simply amazing! He's the only person that I know who can do that

Ok, here's something to share again~
Fighting the Good Fight

Poor Cat

I went to Sam's work place to pass him something. On the way to the bus stop, I saw this poor Cat that has lost it's nose. No joke, it really lost it's nose. I have taken a picture of it. Here...



Think I heard in YES 93.3 about the promotion for Star Cruise Virgo the day before. They are giving free cruise for men, on the condition that they have a paying partner. So I send the link to Shirley & Nic and also Ron & Gang. In the end, Shirley and Nic are interested so I will be going for the cruise with them We'll be going down the the agent's office to make payment on Saturday. Wow~ I am looking forward to the cruise~

Pissed w Pxxxx

I was pissed with a friend of mine. He called me and during the conversation, he brought up Alex, telling me that it is a waste for us to split up. The thing is he only know a small portion of the whole picture, so how can he comment about whether it is a waste or not? There is more things than meets the eye. I do not like to go around sharing these kinda information or discussing about it with just anyone. I have already make my final decision and that's that. If he come and bug me about this again, he's gonna get it from me.

Mommy

I'm simply impressed with my mommy, she's really amazing

I came home yesterday to find her sitting in front of my computer learning how to use it. I was surprised to see her sitting there as I simply did not expect her to wanna learn how to use the computer.

And last week, I got her a cell phone that has an in-build camera. I taught her how to use it and saw her exploring it by herself. The next moment, there she is snapping away with her cell phone. My dad came to me and said in a joking manner, "See what you have done... Now I am the 'victim'." LOL. Reason being my mom was taking pictures of my daddy. LOL.

Earlier, I went to Toa Payoh to take a bus home. As I was walking towards the bus terminal, a guy approach me to complete a survey for him. Instinctively, I rejected him as the first thing that come to my mind is "Insurance"!

While I was walking away, I found that he look more like a student. So feeling bad, I walk back to him and asked if he's doing a project for his school and he said no, it was a survey on Radio station. Since it's not insurance, I decied to help him with the survey. For my effort, I was given a notebook from the Radio Station that he represented

Hotmail increase size

I was checking my Hotmail last night and was surprised to see that my mails only take up 4% of the spaces. For a moment I thought I have lost all my emails until I saw that the mailbox size is now 25mb. Wow~! That's nice, since I used Hotmail a lot.

Alright, here's some sharing again.
