Countdown timers

Thursday, April 30, 2009

Few days ago, I had spoilt my SE W910i. So now I'm using my wife's old handphone SE W800i. I really couldn't get used to it at first. Because the display screen is damn f**king smaller than my W910i.

Yesterday I browsed through Singapore's Sony Ericsson website to check for new updates and see if there will be any new SE handphone models that will be launching soon in Singapore. My wife had mentioned that she would like to get the SE T707 flip phone so she couldn't wait for her contract to end. Before she saw SE T707 she was thinking to get SE Idou. I'm sure SE Idou will cost a bomb. For myself, I'm interested in SE C903. I really fell in love with the SE slider model handphone. That's why I bought SE W910i even though it doesn't have flash, WiFi etc. But I love its light and slim design. For SE C903 it may heavy and bulky but it has GPS, flash, 5mp etc.

What if humans can live without food; that will be the best. Then I can save up all my money to buy anything I want and travel everywhere I want to go. But I think this will only happen in my dream. Hahaha... Let me work hard and save hard to fulfill my dreams. Till our contract end, I can buy new handphones for myself and my wife. =)

Are You Afraid of Swine Flu?

SARS had passed for few years. Now a new generation of flu is born; SWINE FLU! Are you scared of it? Do you dare to eat pork meat? Actually, I'm not really worried about this, because I think as long you have a strong immune system, the chances of you contracting swine flu will be lesser.

Everyone is very concerned about this issue because it may cause them to lose their life. But why? Why do humans only show concern for their health only when something bad happened? For example, everyone knows that having supper, fried food or fast food is unhealthy. But most people only think to satisfying their appetites when they don't have any health problems then. What if they have diabetes, high pressure, high cholesterol etc. Do you think they still dare to eat anything to satisfy their appetites?

Now government is starting preventive measures as schools, polys and Universities. All students need to measure their temperature when they are at school. Once your temperature is higher than 37.6ºc you will need to be quarantined immediately. News from Taiwan states that the mask factory had started 24/7 production to satisfy the needs in Taiwan and overseas. The price had almost increased by half. So hurry up stock some masks before the prices escalate.

I hope everyone I know can do some changes of the lifestyle and eating habits as they will affect your health for the next 10, 20, 30 or more years. I love all of you, so must take good care of yourself.

Raining Day~!

Today is a raining day~! The raining really come at the best time. It make the weather cooler and feel better. Last few day the weather really f**king HOT even at night. I bathed with cold water before I went to slept. I'll still sweat when I walked into my room.

My wife had talked she would like to go the new Tampines 1 shopping centre. Since the weather is good today then I gave my wife a called and pick up her up to Tampines 1. Last night, before slept I had read the I-Week magazine, it introduced Tampines 1 had 172 shop. Uniquo is a famous japan boutique. They had their first and only shop at Tampines 1 and she had bought a  cardigan at Uniquo. I found they had many different type of clothes. As long you're creative enough you can find your personal style wear there. I like their clothes too but I just want to save the money for Bangkok expenses. =p

This is the cardigan she bought at Uniquo


What A Bad Day~!


Another working Saturday, need to collect sample at morning 9am and at night 9pm. Managed to woke up on time and reached office around 8:30am. Nothing much happen at work but some bad thing happened to my pity handphone. I realised it when I took out for some calculation. Haiz... I think I was accidentally broken my handphone screen when I squat down in toilet. I'm so upset and my heart so pain to my pity handphone. Wonder how come SE W910's screen so fragile? Can I send my handphone to SE Service Centre replace it when it still under warranty? I don't think so! But I'll send an email or give them a call to confirm first. SAD AH...... would like to scold vulgarities. ~!@#$%^&*()

Big cracked on the screen~! Damn fragile...

Done everything need to done in office and stay there to online and monitor a while. When I was thinking to leave office soon. Suddenly the front door opened, Dr Mark came back to office. I don't feel like to stay in office anymore since my job had done so I just went home.

Yesterday had decided to watch movie at CCK Lot 1 because we left a Shaw movie ticket which is going to expired today. Then me and my wife took LRT to Lot 1 have our lunch and movie. While walked into a shop I saw this big black frame glasses, look funny so I just wear it and took a photo. Funny right~! Am I look like one of the Chipmunks? Hahaha...

Free Part Timer For My Wife's Office

I leaf office early today at around 4:10pm because was helped company send some goods to Kallang, Blk 39, Jalan Tiga. After that I just went over to my wife to meet my wife for dinner since she work night shift and she'll have her dinner around 5:30pm to 6pm.

Once I reached her office car park I gave her a called to confirm whether she have been out for dinner. She told me she not out for her dinner yet so I went to her office and waited for her. Whose know their Manager Ivory going to have a short meeting with all of them. No one will be in the office. She asked me for helped, pick up the phone call, take down their name and contact number. What to do? Need to wait for my wife...

Bell rang... Someone pressed the bell for help. WTF... Really don't know what I can do. Just try my best to do what I can do. Walked out to reception told the lady they're in meeting and asked anything that I can help. She told me she found a letter from Monash University with her long long time ago. This letter shown she have credits with them. She want to check can get the credits in cheque for her. I get the letter to ask Gevelle (Wife Colleague) make a photocopy for me because I don't have password to login their copier. Only staff have personal password. She asked for stamp of received when I passed her the copy. I'm totally noob. Lucky I still manage to find where the stamp is.

Another bell rang, a student would like to collect his assignment where I really don't know where. Told him they're in meeting and he said he'll wait. Once I walked in to office I saw they're back from meeting then I told my wife his student want to collect assignment.

After that, me, wife & one of her colleague Sharifa. Three of us went to our dinner at Funan IT. Window shopping there after our dinner. When we on our way back to my wife office we saw this at the cross junction in between PP and Funan. Think must be some oversea VIP/embassy if not wouldn't need so many traffic police to convoy.

Ben & Jerry's Ice-Cream FREE Cone Day~!

I'm off yesterday so never send my wife to work but need to pick her up from work. I woke up around 10am then went to do thing that I want to. Bought a CD pouch at Popular to keep my CD/DVD and thrown away those useless CD/DVD case. Make my room look tiny. I leaf home at 4pm straight forward to Amway showroom to bought some stuff for her.

I always tried to enter city area before 530pm as I can to save some money even though she knock off at 730pm yesterday. As usual, I'll walk around at PP, Funan, stay in her office online or chit chat with Jean mummy if I reach her office early. Yesterday when I reached her office I urged to have some fruit juice so I gave her a called and asked whether she would like to have fruit juice too. But she told me today is Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream FREE cone day, asked me to Raffles City queue up for FREE ice-cream. Actually, I never want to because I knew human love to quit up for FREE thing especially in Singapore so it must be a long queue. She said since you already here so early. Why not queue up for FREE Ben & Jerry's Ice-Cream? End up I agreed with her.

I went to bought our fruit juice before I went over to queue up. Ben & Jerry's Ice-Cream is at basement of Raffles City. When I walked down to basement I saw full of people downstair especially students. The queue is damn long (see the pictures shown below) just like a snake turn here and there and the end of the queue only 20 steps away from the escalator. 

I saw some people they are queue up for their friends, family or colleague. They just anyhow jump into the queue with their friend. Lucky no one is jump queue in front of me. I'll scold them and make them fell embarrass.

Finally, I get my FREE Ice-cream
At least 6 person there to serve the FREE ice-cream
See! After collected their FREE ice-cream the
student still standing around there in a big group.
The endless queue. Lucky I went early.
Getting more and more peoples
because everyone had knocked off from work.

What A Bad Experience Of The Day~!

Last week my wife won both of us a FREE facial session from a SPA company if you are the first 150 persons to join as a fan of the company in FACEBOOK. My wife had made an appointment at Hill Street Outlet at 10am today so I also made an appointment for haircut at 2pm as I haven't cut my hair from Chinese New Year till now, same for my wife too.

Our Sunday morning breakfast~!
As usual, we reach there on time, filled up a form with our personal details, and proceed to the room for the FREE facial session. I was brought to a small individual cubicle and she asked me to take off my shirt. At first, I was thinking “shit, I’m inside a 'pirated ship'”. This is my first time having a facial and I didn't know I need to take off my shirt for it.

After we finished our FREE facial session they had prepared two cups of tea for us. Actually we know what will happen when the lady just came over to ask how we feel after the facial and tried to 'psycho' us to sign up with their promotional package but we refused. She kept trying and trying to sell us their package but my wife told her that we need to discuss about it.

Firstly, we don’t know what's the ingredient of products that they use. Secondly, how good are their products that they are using? Thirdly, is the product used on my face suitable for my skin type? We found that they actually used some kind of acid for their "Avro Peel" facial and this is what we are worried about. Because we don’t know what kind of acid they used and how strong of the acid. Acid will causes our skin become thinner if you use it often.

Suddenly, my wife told me what the beautician did for her that my beautician never did for me. How come they have different standard? Not only this, I found out something disgusting when I left there. I had took a photo to show everyone. Are you prepared for this?


Disgusting but this is not my "pi sai".
They never clean for me properly. WTH~!

Luckily my wife had brought her wet tissue so I could use that to clean my nose. Then we just left for our next destination Toa Payoh Emmanuel Saloon. Anyway I'll only show some photo I took at the saloon. It took our whole afternoon there, having our late lunch there and I also had a nap there.

Start trimming her hair
Start perming her hair
After: back view

After hair cut we went over to my cousin's house at Sembawang to look for my mum and see her 2nd baby son "子锋" because my mum was help her with her confinement at her house. Her baby look slim, handsome and with dimples. Hopefully our future baby have dimples too like my wife.

Careless & Speeding Huge Vehicle Driver Nowadays.

I think a lot of passenger injured.

Careless or speeding huge vehicle driver?

This driver must be serious injuries.

What a pity bus driver & passenger

Hit from the back side.


Don't know there are any passenger at the seat behind.

I saw this accident happened at Selegie Road after I fetched my wife to work and on my way to bike shop at Macpherson Road. It causes a big jam there so I just busybody to stop my bike somewhere near and get down to take some photo for my blog. Hahaha...

When I reach the bike shop I just show the photos to lady boss. She told me it happened at morning time and photo already on STOMP. WOW... the STOMPER really done a good job. Actually I hate those huge vehicle sometime they drive up to 80~90km per hour on the expressway. They never think that they can stop on the time at that speed? Haiz... Just good luck to everyone who ride/drive on the road and be careful or far away from those huge vehicle, rude and careless driver.

Parent Have To Take Responsibility For Your Child's Health


Last night, I bought this book (快乐健康法) wrote by a Nutritionist from China Xiamen. His name is Liang Zhi Da. I had read the first few pages and I realized what he wrote is based on real life experiences and what he saw about the new generation parents doing to their children.

He knew that parents love their children very much and pamper them a lot. Like what he written about a father instructing his maid to let his son drink bottled water only. His son was drinking still water since the first day he was born because he thought that still water is cleaner but this caused his son to have kidney failure when he was only 10 years old. Every parent loves their children but they are using the wrong method to love and pamper them.

This morning when I read this "Mind Your Body" newspaper, I read that if you are not going to keep yourself healthy, your bad DNA will be passed to your children. So if you are planning to have a baby please take good care of your body and keep yourself in tip-top condition. Don't blame anyone when your child have poor body.

Collect Our Prize~!

Thursday I'm off so I went to collect my prize at JTC Summit at Jurong East. There are security guard at the lift to request you to change your pass if you would like to go up to the building. I went up to 30 floor the highest floor of the building after I changed my pass. I walked in to jobsDB.com main door there are no reception so I walk inside to told them I'm looking for Mr. James Ong. They asked us to wait for awhile. When we seat down at sofa outside Mr. James Ong just came back from toilet.

He is a very gentle and soft person even when he speak. He collected my IC for verified and photocopied. He came out from office with a envelop and camera. After he passed me the envelop he request us to take a photo. I think the photo will be on their website soon once they announce the results. Why he never ask us to wear nicer when we going over to collect our gift. Hahaha...

Here the prize:



My wife very happy and excited about this Bangkok trip she wrote it on her facebook and MSN's nickname. One of our friend William he saw it then he message her in facebook to tell her he'll going to Bangkok on May too. So we decided to go with him together. What we need to do now is apply leave and book air ticket. Hotel will not be a problem because we are not going on holiday period and there are so many hotel for us to choose.

Finally, I can go travel with my wife and my mistress (DSLR). I think I'll can back with a lot of new clothes and photos.

OH MY GOD~! I couldn't believe my eyes but this is true so I forwarded this e-mail to my wife and gave her a call to tell her the good news. She also was excited because both of us had never been Bangkok, Thailand before. Luckily I'm off tomorrow and I'll head down to collect my prize first thing in the morning. Hehehe...

Prize is only for 3D2N stay at the 5-star hotel, and since we need to buy our own airtickets there ourselves, I figured we might as well extend our stay there for 2 more days. So now we're busy researching on cheap airtickets, accommodation, food, places to see and shop, etc. Of course we'll also need help, information and advice from friends, colleagues and relatives who had been to Bangkok.

This will be my virgin Bangkok, Thailand trip so wish me luck that my leave will be approved. GOD BLESS ME~! Bangkok here I come!

Last Minute Shinjuku Incident

When I was going to knock off and leave office last night. My friend cum colleague given me a call and ask me whether I want to go to watch Shinjuku Incident by jackie chan at 1130pm till 130am. I just asked my wife and she is OK with it so we rushed home to leave our bags and helmets at home. Once I reached home my friend was on his way come over to pick us.

He is lucky that he got a parking lot immediately when we reached the open car park opposite Cineleisure. He want to have a smoke and wait for another 2 friends coming over to meet us. Me and my wife go up to 9th floor to buy ticket. At first, we never watch midnight show at Cineleisure on weekdays. I never know there a smaller theatre and ticket selling counter. I only know the ticket selling counter at basement & 5th floor and 9th floor is for gaming. Sometime good luck & sometime bad the 1130pm Shinjuku Incident sold out. End up we decided to watch another time lot at 2am. 

Since time is still young, we went to youth park Kopitiam have a drink, eat some food and talk cock. One of my friend Ace he look tired then we went back to 9th floor and looked for a place that we can sit or lie down to have a rest. Because we was nothing to do and quite boring. My wife went to play game with my friend while I still lied on the sofa. About 10 minutes later I went to look for my wife and see what game she played. She played photo hunt but we 3 person with 6 eyes can't even find the different of some photo.

When she had finished all her games she saw someone played the catch toy's machine and she would like me to catch one for her. I asked her what she want and she told me a purple colour Carebear. I'm damn lucky I caught the purple colour Carebear at one time. Then she saw a couple caught the mushroom head toy and she also want one too. This time I caught the mushroom head toy with my last 1 dollar coin. I think I spent less than 10 dollar to caught this 2 toys but the following toy we spent more than 20 dollar to caught it. Have to thanks my friend Anthony to help I don't think I can caught this toy without his help. Finally my wife can happily to watch movie if not she still crying.

Here the photos:

Early Arrangement For Year End Trip

Ring... Ring... A call from my wife this morning. She told me that Jetstar was having an airticket promotion to Hong Kong and promotion will be end at 2pm. This promotion period is only from year end of 2009 till first week of February of 2010. I told her if she really want to visit most of the popular attractions there and have a good time, we had better stay there for at least a week.

So from now on we have to save as much money as we can for all the expenses when we go to Hong Kong because I have a lot of places to visit in my mind now. For example Disneyland, Ocean Park, Macau, Dai Yu Shan, Lam Guai Fong, Wong Tai Shin etc. So we'll surely spend a lot on food and shopping. Hahaha... Hopefully we won't gain too much weight when we come back from Hong Kong.

She had booked the tickets already and we're departing on 29th December 2009 and returning on 9 January 2010. That mean we'll countdown to 2010 in Hong Kong. Now she very busy searching for more information on this Hong Kong trip from various websites. More info and photo have to wait when we come back from Hong Kong next year!
