Happy New Year

I have choose not to spend my New Year in Singapore, so I head out to the nearby Malaysia.
Road trip again!! In fact, it was a good drive to Meleka and I never knew I will actually enjoy Malaysia that much.

Happy New Year, my friends.
May the new year be a healthy year for us....

Forget the past

Are you ready to count down to a "New" year? I am... and I hope you are as well.
What does a "new" year mean to you?
A new job? err...
A new dress? yes...
A new pet? no...
A new car? woo...
A new partner? haha...
A new house? perfect.. .
A new life goal? why not...
A new travel destination? alway...
A new list of items? and the new list can go on and on...I haven’t really think about mine yet.

But I do know that a new year means a lot; but I have to start from forgetting the past (or rather it should be putting the past behind), keeping the good memory and be a “good” person to myself.

Guide me on this:-
I was reviewing some photos that I took a few days ago... and I found this particular interesting one ... (below is the crop version)
Note: Pay attention to the wordings on the screens.
It says: 12/26, 2051hrs on the clock and the TV wording are "Forget the past".
Tell me - Is this sign considers as "sighting" or "luck" or "pure coincidence" or “observation”.
Oh Oh... any of the numbers strike 4D? hehee... I never buy leh; else sure bang wall.



Lastly, how often will you pay attention to your surrounding? I think they usually provide you with the best answer :-)
See it with your eyes, listen with your ears, think with your mind, feel it with your heart, walk forward with your legs, show it with your hands, and say it with your mouth!!

How dark can SGP be?

As you may or not be aware that recently, there is a hit and run accident involving a "particular" country embassy car.
This is getting interesting and is like watching a show, but only title is available.
No visuality to what happen, despite a life has been lost and with few others injure.
No news coverage on major SGP online news websites.
No comments from the highly efficient police.
What's next?

Why are we closing our eyes on such issues?
Why are we toleranting this？
Our dear goverment, our dear police.... the dead and injures are from your own country. When will you help to give them the justice that they deserve?

New toilet seat

I was watching the Mama Mia @ the Star City the other day... (BTW, it's a nice muscial performance)
I went to the loo and saw this interesting toilet seat cover.

The seats are covered with plastic which are automatically "renew".
Now, you can sit without worrying about dirty seat.
But I wonder if this will work in SGP since people have poor toilet ethic.

Internet the new scam

Ever think how internet help to track you down (unknowingly)?
I'm at facebook and it seems that all your friends (including strangers) will able to know what are you doing and/or have been doing.

Is this a good thing? I don't know. Maybe it is.
Sharing all the happy moments with friends? Are they really the real happiness?
For example: The relationship status can change from single to attached to married and then single again - this creates a whole lot of topics for the KPOs.
Knowing so much, will it do you any good?
Knowing too less, will it do you any harm?

I guess the bottomline is... as long I know you are safe. That is the only answer I want and is looking for.

After Xmas is New Year

Another year is drawing to an end soon.
What have I gain and achieve? Plenty!
People sometime complaint that time passes SLOW but to me, it's damn fast.
However, I think it is to match against what you have accomplish within the time period.

Do you know that Sentosa is going to have a small "disney" castle?

Rude welcome back

Took the train at 10am this morning; and it was packed like sardines in a can.
The barrier at the station is done up; automated (need to burn more fuel) somemore.
So, did I hear everyone claiming to have energy saving stuffs? Green environment etc? Then what's the heck about spend so much money doing up the barrier? Might well use the money and operate more train service to ease the jam?
Stop telling me about safety feature when the commuters did not practice safely; because I have seen places where there are no barriers and things just work well.

While in the train; I just simply hate it...
Tell me about MP taking the train and praised that it is very good.
Gosh, did he/she take train during the peak (Oh BTW, 10am is NOT peak hours)?
Did he/she try to take train without some pre-arrangement? Those "iron rice bowl" people will definitely arrange nicely what. It don't need rocket scientist to figure that theory.

Yes, we cannot afford cars but we paid for the transport! So, shouldn't we deserve what we need? Not crowded train where that AxxHxxx underpit is just next to my face.
Also, there are plenty of elderly in the train; where those young idiots sitting down there and pretending to be asleep.

Now, what frustrated me was:-
Need barriers so that people will not push someone off the track?
Need posters (that does not work) to remind people to give up their seats to needy?
Isn't that obvious that the moral and culture of Singapore is WRONG somewhere?
What happen to the education system?
Where is the "hao gong ming"?
Why everyone just blindly follows the wrong path?
Where is everyone's conscience? "Eaten by dog?"

My nice friend says to me (after my fxxx complaint):- "Welcome back to Singapore".

Girl power!

I am back to Singapore!! For a whole 2 weeks!!!
This is the first time since I started the job; where I’ll be home for such a long time.

Travelling back to SGO was a good start.
We got upgraded to business class (Yeah!!!) and my colleages claimed that I have "girl power"... because all 3 of us got upgrade to business. I think what we have to do is to ask; nothing to do with girl power.
The service, food, seats are way much better than the economy.
Service: the stewardess addresses you by last name - Miss Tay (wooo..). They bring you water when you woke you from nap; no need to ask!
Food: Food is served in proper utensils and they taste really yummy
Seat: 50% more spacious than economy and may be extended all the way down - like a bed.
Now, I think I am hook to the premium but no way I can afford.

Oh ya, I ordered a SLR through the US website… and it arrived the same day as I touched down SGP. Another plus point to be home!!!
Question is whether I will have time to play with it. Hehee…

Merry Christmas...taken with my phone @ Darling Harbour.

Sinful but damn good

Had this for dinner.
非常好吃; 不过肥死我!!!!!

Swim or drown?

Head for my first Sydney beach swim today.
Weather was good ~25C... with very chilly water. Took me about 5min before I brave into the water.
The plan was to try surfing but the beach (Bulli, about 90min drive) that we head to... has no surf board for rent. So, that's it - just swim in the nice cold water with great waves.

Initial part was great... I was enjoying the swim with current pushing and pulling me in and out of the shore...
Within seconds, I was been pulled farther from the shore and into a deep depth by the strong undercurrent. And no matter how hard I tried, I just can't get any nearer and it does seem that I can't make it.
For a minute, I was wondering if I should give up and get myself drown. I did wanted so much because... In my life, there has been incidents after incidents where I struggled so much and hard to fight and live on.
When will be the day that I give up?
Anyway, I didn't really panic; maybe I knew I can't and cannot afford to. ALso, it was too much for me to give up now...
I continued to swim.... of course I made it else I wouldn't be writing my blog now. :)
And I did not quit just like that; I stayed in the water much longer - to have a good time....
The price? I got a really bad sunburn and uneven tan :(
