Maybank voucher

Today I want to use Maybank voucher that is redeem using my credit card points. It is a $10 worth of voucher. On the voucher, it said can use on certain restaurants. I went to the website and see the terms and conditions which I found none. So I happliy went to Crystal Jade and use. Who knows they told me only can buy bread. I went to Sakae Sushi and they told me eve of public holiday cannot use. I very angry cos so many hidden conditions which is not stated! Any way, in the end I bought $10 worth of breads and they all very nice. So anger subsidse a bit but I will still complain to Maybank.

Chinese Garden again

I just went to Chinese Garden again to see the lantern. This time I went with my parents. They said they wish to go but due to the high entrance fee, they insisted it is a waste of money. So when I know today is the last day and is 50% off entrance fee, I quickly bring them there. However, there is no fireworks today. Also this time round it is not as crowded as 2 weeks ago. There are still people but less crowds. Now taking pictures with the lanterns is a breeze as there is no pushing and no waiting. I took only less than 2 hours to cover the whole thing as compared to 3 hours previously. Overall. they truly enjoyed themselves as they said the trip reminds them of last time. Heh heh.. So I promise to bring them next year.

Disaster Movie

Just caught Disaster Movie over the weekend as got nothing better to do. It is something like Date Movie etc.. kind of show that suppose to have a theme. One word for this movie: Disaster. It is super lame and boring. Not funny at all. Though this kind of show usually got not much story line, this one super no story line. Just dump in and spoof every movie they can think of. Overall, bad!

My friend's Wedding

Today is my friend's wedding. I am one of his "brother". It is really very eventful. Firstly, it rains very heavily while on the way to the bride's house. Then, we met with traffic jam as due to the rain plus the fact that it is a working day. Then, my friend gave wrong direction and wasted a few more minutes. When we reached, we were actually very late. Haha. Then, we need to play a few games as usual. The best one is to eat chili! It is very hot! I really cannot take it. I rinsed my mouth and drank 3 packets of water!! After all these events, we went to the groom's house and then back to bride's house again. Finally, we went to the newly wed new house. But I just dumped them there and drove off as I need to rush back to office to host a meeting. Any way, my friend gave me a big ang bao for all these efforts. It really make me very pai say. So I need to buy something big when he organizes a house warming party next time.

PSP


Today I company a friend to Sim Lim Square to buy PSP. She wanted to get this since dunno when. So this time she finally decided to get. After comparing prices among a few shops, she finally decided on one and bought a black one. It costs $350. Looking at the product, I found it is quite interesting. But I would not buy cos I prefer conventional gaming console. Hee... This more suitable for students and people that are freer while traveling on public transport.

Bowling again

Today we went to celebrate my father's birthday at East Coast Park Tung Lok. The reason I choose there is because it is near to a bowling center. Haha. After the meal, we have some activity instead of just going home. So after the meal, we went to this nearby Bowling alley to bowl. This is the 2nd time I bowl this year which is 3 days after my company bowling event. But I am still that lousy! After two games, I dun even break 100! Lousy!

Bowling

Today I went for a bowling event organised by my company. This is an yearly event and usually is my only chance to touch bowling. Haha. Any way, my skill is getting from bad to worst! First two rounds not even has chance to go over 100! Lousy. Only the 3rd set, I managed to play slightly better with a score of 122. But still terrible. Sad. Need to play once in a while liao. Hoho..

Chinese Garden (裕华园)

Today I went to Chinese Garden to see the lanterns there. This is a once a year event. During normal day, Chinese Garden is quite quiet. Seldom people will go there as there is nothing much to see. But on Mid Autumn festival, it is quite different. The whole place will be lighted with many kinds of lanterns and bustling with activities. The entrance fee is $15 which I feel a bit steep. The queue for buying entrance tickets is quite long but moving rather fast. This year theme is mainly on Hello Kitty and Japanese animation characters but with many different themes. There are also a short fireworks about 30 sec. In order to cover the whole park, you need to plan for 3 hours.

WALL.E

I just caught WALL.E. Personally, I feel it is not too bad. However, this show lacks those kind of climax point that appears in other Pixar movie such as The Incredible etc... Could it be that they targeted very small children? So cannot be too climax? Haha. The entire show has also not much dialogue cos more on non-talking robots. Any way, the drawings, special effects etc.. are quite good. Overall, this is quite a fun show but not to the extent of a fantastic movie.

Family Day


Today I went to attend my company family day event at Yishun Bottle Tree Park. It was a last minute decision I dun intend to join initially. But my boss tells me to go. Say as company staffs, we should join to form stronger bonds etc.. Ok so I went and I join in the games. I find that it is actually quite fun. Haha. But today the sun is really strong!!! After the event, my face is very red! Hope I dun get sun burnt.

Tough life

Lately I am extremely busy and have tonnes of responsibilities. I need to remember so many things and have to track other things. So finally I made a mistake in my work today. Sigh.... Though not a serious one, I feel I seriously burnt out. But well, life still goes on. Hope it will be smoother tomorrow and next week and future.

Ice Cream


Today got a new colleague got her first pay in her life. So she decided to give us a treat. So we ordered ice cream in the canteen. The ice cream costs $2.50 and it is really a big bowl! The ice cream is not the same as usual one which is one big scoop. Instead, it is slice into fine thin layers and for a while, it looks like cabbage! You can order different fruits topping an I order kiwi. It is quite value for money.
