Great Singapore Sales is here and I bought my first item! I got myself a pair of running shoes. I feel since I jog quite a bit, it is only 對得起 my feet for getting a good running shoes. I happened to pass by World of Sports and it has a 40% sales and I saw a very nice one. Misuno Waverider. The colour is also very nice and it is extremely comfortable!

又擺烏龍 I thought computer spoilt

Today try to switch on my computer but find the screen has nothing. I thought my LCD monitor is spoilt. So I changed a few LCD monitor and same thing. Hence, the next thing that come to my mind is my computer down! I tried ways and means to get the screen up but nothing works. Guess what? 我誤打誤撞 pressed a button on the monitor and the bootup screen is back!! 原來 my LCD monitor is also a LCD TV so it has different operating modes. I might have accidentally pressed to TV mode so that is why nothing show up! Haiz...... 又擺烏龍﹗

參加 Passion Run


Now taking part in long distance run is an IN thing here. So I decided to IN 一下。So I took part in a 5km passion run at East Coast Park. Ok, 5km might be short but I think it is a good start for me. Ha... Even MM Goh Chok Tong is invited to come to flag off 5km run! It is really nice to sweat it out in the name of 減肥。

Ahhh! 白作!!

I was told to submit a document at last minute. As I try to rush for the documents, I did not read it carefully the requirement. So when I try to submit to my director, we found that we did not meet the requirement and the documents is 白作﹗So moral of the story is must always read and see carefully!!

浪費時間搶 free carpark lots

My company has two buildings. One is located at the top of the road and another bottom of the road. However, lately, the top building has built up a gantry to charge for carpark. I am a bit stingy and do not wish to pay. So I choose to park at the bottom. As bottom building carpark lots are very limited, so it is usually 先到先得 and I have been arriving earlier just to secure a lot. But guess what? After two weeks of doing such a stunt, I found that my receptionist has put up my particulars for the season parking since day 1!! Haiz... So these two weeks of fighting for lots are 浪費時間﹗But the good thing is I no need to wake up so early liao. Ha!

Omni Theatre 超視覺

I got free tickets to Omni Theatre and so I decided to make a trip down to this 很久都沒去的地方。Omni Theatre is just besides Science Center. It is a special theatre that has a massive hemispheric screen with IMAX projectors. As the screen is very big, certain scenes might make you feel that you are rotated etc.. But sometimes it will also make you giddy! Ha..

葉問2 - Fighting 贊

I like the first show of 葉問 and so 葉問2我當然去捧場。果然﹐it is within my expectation. The show continues where it last left off. 葉問 fled to Hong Kong for a new life. This show concerns on his difficulties in settling down in Hong Kong. But of cos it will always end with a final showdown. Chinese vs some other race. Last movie is Chinese vs Japanese. This time round is Chinese vs Caucasians. However, different from last movie is that the opponent this time is more powerful. This makes the show more exciting than just seeing 葉問 beating up the others. Overall, the movements are great, story is nice, actors are good and songs are beautiful.

港澳 Fun 任我行 4

This time round I went to the usual places as this is my friend first time in Hong Kong but I also try to go to places I never been before and do things I never done before.

1. 旺角
I explored this placed more thoroughly as I allocated more time to this place. Besides the 女人街, I also explored Langham Place mall, looking at the 街頭表演和藝術 etc...




2. 大嶼山
I have been to this place N times. But this time round, the cable car has a special design. The floor of the cable car is transparent! I thought I will be very nervous but surprisingly, I am not nervous at all but feel fun. But I cannot say the same thing for my friend. She is scared stiff and dun dare to open her eyes throughout the journey and told me she might vomit! Ha! Luckily, it all went well. I also walked a bit further into the wisdom path to take a look of the pillar of 心經。Now
大嶼山 is undergoing major upgrading process. They are adding more amenities and features like 涼亭﹐牌坊路牌 etc...




3. 山頂
This time round I went to Victoria Peak at night to catch the night view. It is really a different experience compared to going in the day. It is very windy and chilling up there. Even it is about near to 9pm and on a weekday, there are still a lot of people wanting to go up the peak!

港澳 Fun 任我行 3

So what did I eat in 港澳?

1. Breakfast
This is the famous 連鎖店 - 大家樂 breakfast set. I always could not get a seat over the weekends. The only better time is about 10.30am during a weekday.

2. LunchThis is a Taiwan dish sold in food court at Citygate mall in 東涌。 The soup is quite tasty.

Finally went to eat fast food, Burger King, at Victoria Peak as it was quite late and most shops are almost closed.

港澳 Fun 任我行 2

I choose a day and took a boat ride to Macau. It is a 1 hour ride from Hong Kong. I only have about half a day as I need to go back to Hong Kong to meet my friend at about 6pm, so I only went to three places.


1. 大三八牌坊
Ruins of St. Paul is the most iconic place in Macau. The ruin now consists of only the facade and is enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau in 2005.


2. 大炮台
Fortaleza do Monte is the historical military centre of the former Portuguese colony of Macau near Ruins of St. Paul. On top of this fort, you get a panoramic view of the mainland area of Macau.


3. 漁人碼頭
Fisherman's Wharf is a theme park in Macau just besides the ferry terminal. It is rather big with 150 stores and restaurants in buildings built in the style of different world seaports such as Cape Town, Amsterdam and Venice, six rides, a slots hall, a 72-room hotel, and a casino and many more. It needs half a day to really explore everything.

港澳 Fun 任我行 1

I love Hong Kong and always will travel to this lovely place once a year. This time round I went with a friend and she never been to Hong Kong before. So I 充當導遊 to bring her around. Seems like I becoming half a Hongkonger. Ha..

I took United Airline this time as I can maximize the time in Hong Kong. The good thing is it took off at T3 which is not that crowded. The security is tight but I am not complaining. As my flight is very early, I was served only light snack throughout the less than 4 hours flight.




I stayed in Regal Causeway Bay this time round instead of my usual favorite L'Hotel. The location is good as it is right in Causeway Bay. But to the nearest MTR need to walk about 5 to 10 mins. I find the room is ok but the hotel is always very crowded and my room is not ready till 5pm!
