牛年快乐!
I think all children are the same, first time see unfamiliar people, keep quiet and almost scared of you. Which was years ago. Now they jump straight on to me, and when i say ON, i mean, ON my front, back, and shoulders. Even directly on an unsuspecting me in the living room watching TV. Piggy backs and sitting on the shoulders for rides were aplenty. Children really live up to the saying “一次生, 两次熟". But they are a bunch of real cuties.
大嫂 says he looks like me when i was a kid, when she saw my old photos. 这样以后肯定是大帅哥, 前途无量, 前途一片美好的啦, haha (omg...)
女的比较放得开, and also is the 带头做乱 one haha, almost everything is started by her, then the brother will follow. All the pranks, the rides, the jumping, the messing up of places ...

老婆 ... "驾" 到!
If anyone had told me i will reach my first major goal 10 days into year 2009, i will reply them "No way, you are out of your mind." But madness is what certainly hit me. And the reason for all the madness? Introducing my first wife! Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX Sports
She is a manual baby, and yes i hear you say, much more troublesome on the road. Has been more than 2 years ago since i last touched a manual baby, and that was my driving test. Since then the only baby i have driven is a Nissan March (Auto). Still recalling the first time i drove an auto baby and i was surprised how easy it was to move it, really the type for lazy drivers, but more suitable for me i guess.It is really a case of living a childhood dream. Loving cars really started since i was a kid. Remember my favourite toys back in the days were those cars where you can pull them back, and once you let go, the mechanisms will push the cars forward. And i always have them facing the walls when i let go. And how i used to play and not eat chocolates shaped in cars, even until they have melted.
Her "pigu" - which i feel is nicer
Question of the day:
Audi .... dreaming? possible?

Spring cleaning day
Today was spring cleaning day to get ready for Chinese New Year, and basically, throw and reorganisation were the themes for this year. A detailed search revealed there are so many things i do not need anymore, items include tons of Playstation 1 games, certain school stuffs that were not worth keeping, and some pirated CDs way from the past. Only now i seriously realised i had THIS MUCH of games, some really remind me of the past, 真的可以说是玩它们长大的...After a day of tidying and cleaning, when i looked back again at night, can't help but having a sense of accomplishment. Things were certainly tidier and neater, even freed out an entire area of my room for more space. Maybe now i won't knock my legs around so much anymore..
And lastly i started on the promise to give my home a change of furniture. Went Novena Furniture to get a new set of 3 + 2 seater Vinyl Leather Sofa Set and a glass coffee table, both for the living room. This time round sister paid more for it, and we already planned on the next few items to get, but won't be in time for the new year.
And by the way, for people planning to get furniture and are thinking which furniture brand is the best, like me recently, I personally feel finding comments on the Internet is really a waste of time. There are no furniture brands out there that have no negative comments, either the delivery or the quality of the goods, you find people complaining, in a way or another. Maybe some bad comments are left by the people from brands who are inferior, so as to hopefully convince people not to buy from the brands anymore, you never know ...
My recommendation? Ask from relatives. Or just pray that you are not the unlucky one ... And make sure there is some clause stating that replacement can be done if you find any flaws in your delivered goods. Novena Furniture is quite good, as in the furniture i saw that were on display. Lastly i certainly no IKEA fan, nothing against them, but i just don't really like woody items and DIY, i prefer to pay more to get the ready stuff.

Windy Singapore
Recently the weather is very windy, no kidding, things in my living room are getting blown around (as i live on the highest floor in my area, and surroundings there are no taller flats or obstacles). And i can hear the sound of the wind blowing on my windows. Even more so at night. Don't recall the last time singapore was so windy, but this type of weather is the best, hope it can last as long as possible ...Picking up more new things on the new job everyday, and i would say everything has been so far so good. It has been the different exposure i'm looking for all along. Hopefully with the experience, it would benefit me when finding jobs in the government or banking sectors again in the future. Come on Capital Towers, i'm waiting, one day we will meet, i promise. How the seniors (close to 20 years, almost my father's age) used to share with me how much they love the working place when it was situated there in the past. They always loved coming to work and would hide their MCs. It was the nicest scenery you can ever have, and the place overall was just impressive. Listen until my heart itches. But they said now over here at Bishan not too bad either, and i have to agree, in terms of accessibility and food. Hopefully one day i will get my dream location for work- either Raffles Place or Tanjong Pagar, that would be perfect! I will even sign a life bond haha ...

Weekly News Flash
I finally have time to sit down and read the newspapers. As I was reading, I thought I should read up for the past week all at one go, and reading news in older newspapers makes the news not new anymore (Duh ...)Billionaires committing suicides
What the ... The global financial crisis seems to have taken its toll on even the richest around. Even those on Forbes' Richest 100 list wasn't spared either. Simply shocking. Imagine living your entire life in luxury, and realising that everything have been lost overnight. And not just losing your wealth, what follows next is a big deep pool of debts. Must not be easy to swallow all of these down.
But makes me wonder how can things get so bad till you end up taking your own life, is it not a case where you can declare bankruptcy and serve up a jail sentence or something? And at the time when you have all this wealth, did it not came across you that one day you could lose it all? I guess i will never ever find out the answers, because the money we are talking about here could take me an entire life and still not reaching it ....
Singaporean removed from SIA flight after 'bomb' joke
A Singaporean woman was removed from a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight in Taipei on Tuesday, after she made a joke of carrying a bomb in her hand luggage.
During the incident, Ms Wu was being assisted by an air stewardess to load her hand luggage into the overhead compartment on flight SQ 877, which was bound for Singapore.
The stewardess asked Ms Wu why her luggage felt so heavy, and the latter jokingly responded that it contained a bomb.
Ms Wu was immediately asked to leave the flight and questioned by airport police, causing her to miss the flight. No explosives were found in Ms Wu's luggage, which was removed from the plane and put through a thorough security check.
According to Ms Wu, however, the word "bomb" was first mentioned by the air stewardess. In a television interview with Taiwanese media, she said the air stewardess who was helping her with the heavy luggage casually asked if it contained a bomb. Taking it as a joke, Ms Wu replied that it was, leading to her removal from the flight.
My verdict: 新加坡太太, 吃饱没事做
周慧敏 结婚啦
The husband sure is one lucky guy, not many guys around can so publicly 偷吃, get caught by the media, and the girlfriend, in order to keep him, decided to marry him (although i feel the same as what some papers wrote when interviewing their friends, they have long ago married and this was just for show). 周慧敏 also said this is not the first time knowing he outside 偷吃. But i think at 41 years old, you don't really care about these things already. But still disappointed, aiyo she not ugly mah, why 美女要作贱自己 ...

Campus Superstar 2009
Watched campus superstar preview concert on Channel U last night, really feel nowadays the youngsters really different from what we were back in the days (hey i remember people telling me the same back then ...)
This season they have allowed our Malay friend to take part in the competition, something that i still have doubts about. The pronunciation was bad and not really suitable to sing chinese songs. I think it was “被风吹过的夏天" and after listening i was like "Huhhh ... you mean like this also can in...". By the way i'm not blaming him or anything, totally not his fault, but i feel there are similar competitions held at our neighbour Suria channels he can try his luck at .... But then again the judges are always looking for something different, my views are just that of a normal audience, so far - BAD ...

First week at new work
My first week at GIC, rather impressed by the overall environment, and in all, a good first week. I was rather expecting to see more people though (there's only about 20) when i pushed open the door for the first time, but as i later found out, there's still an entire floor of colleagues on the floor above us (phew). Our floor has the tightest security in the building, even when you need the lift to get to us, you need to scan a card in order to activate the floor button, then you can press our floor number.And when i accessed my personal workstation, everything feels the same. So i thought to myself to test out whether can surf Internet. To my horror, NO! I was feeling "what the ..., only restricted to private Intranet ... " But i remember seeing a guy surfing the Net when i was being introduced around the office, hmm ... and as i later found out too, there's a "crack" for this, but guess i shouldn't ask this during my first week. Not yet. Luckily they have radio though, at least something.
About security measures, i have yet to work for any companies that value security this tight, but this should be the tightest as you can get. Every few steps in my office is a CCTV camera above your head, fingerprint biometric to open doors, the most kiasu one is 3 doors to access an area, all 3 doors have to scan fingerprint to open, no cards or anything else. The poor chap who showed me how to use had failed a few times just to get the door to open. And also, matrix-type drawers you can push around where access to compartments are hidden behind by other drawers. I heard they going to improve further soon, or rather, kiasu further ...
