IT Show 2010 人滿為患

IT Show is here and as usual I will go and take a look even though it is very packed with people. From this show, you can see the 主題 and 趨勢 is to buy laptop and netbook. One whole level 4 exhibition hall is devoted to it. Another up and coming 趨勢 is TV media player. It is getting more and more popular which I am thinking of getting one in next 電腦展。

錦衣衛 Encore

這是我第二次看錦衣衛。My friend wanted to catch this so I 捨命陪君子。Even this is the second time, I still enjoy it very much. But I am quite surprised that there are still many people in the cinema watching this as it has been out for 1.5 months! So I am not alone.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief 神話再現

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief talks about Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, being accused of stealing Zeus lightning bolt. Zeus gave Percy Jackson 14 days to return or a war will break out. The movie has 大量魔幻怪物元素。比 Harry Potter 更 mystical. The story plot is very simple but the movie flows very well. Overall, I quite like it.

被 Sabo!!

Today got a company event and I got sabo to go on stage and play games! 他們把快樂建立在別人的痛苦上﹗So embarrassing (Aunty Lucy)! Ok lah. I now become rising stars in my company. Ha!

Nokia N97 Mini 價格棒

I am thinking of getting a new handset to replace my LG Viewty and eyeing on Nokia N97 Mini. This phone looks nice but 價格偏高。I am looking at something below $100. Then, good thing comes along. I came across a Starhub road show at HarbourFront. Discount after discount, I get the phone for $148!! They even throw in a $50 shopping voucher. So effectively, the phone is $98! The only bad thing is 沒有我要的 bronze colour. So you take some, you give some.

贊:
1. Good metal finish
2. Size
3. Keyboard
4. Free GPS navigation (Main reason for me getting)

彈:
1. Interface not friendly
2. Sliding of keyboard hard
3. Touchscreen not sensitive

Mellben Seafood 排長龍

On 元宵節, my friends wanted to "Loi Hei" and suggest to go Mellben Seafood. I was quite reluctant as I know it will be long queue! As expected, we queued almost 1.5 hours before getting a seat. The Bee Hoon Crab is the 招牌菜 and is a must try dish. If you want to come without queuing for so long, try

1. Come after 8.30pm
2. Come in small group say 4 ppl
3. Come on weekdays

非常 Malu!

I attended an event and was talking to a lady. My boss walked over and just stood beside us. So I have to do an introduction. Guess what? I 张冠李戴 and introduce the lady with the wrong name! I dunno what I am thinking! 恨不得鑽進一個洞﹗哈哈哈﹗

妝藝大雨游行 Chingay in Rain

I was driving along CTE on a rainy day and had a pleasant surprise. 花車 from this year 妝藝大游行 were traveling along this road to Yishun. So I managed to get an upclose view when I drove passed them.

新年 @ Chalet

This year Chinese New Year, my family and I decided to stay in Singapore to celebrate instead of flying overseas like we always do. Together with some relatives, we booked 5 rooms at Downtown East. First night dinner we BBQ and 初三 we have a very good buffet dinner. Ha! 肥了！

Happy Tigger Year! 發啊﹗

Today is 初一 and the year of tiger. I wish everyone 身體健康, 虎年行大運﹗Huat ah!

團圓飯 at home

Today is 年三十晚 and as usual, my family and I will come back home early to have our steamboat 團圓飯。This is to signify family reunion before the new year starts!

Bangkok 越夜越美麗 （三）

到了 Bangkok for 3 days. So what did I eat?

Bangkok 越夜越美麗 （二）

我沒太多時間 to shop and sightseeing as my itinerary is very packed with meetings. The only time is after dinner and last day before getting on the plane. So where did I go, shop and see?

1. MBK Center

2. Hard Rock Cafe

3. Chinatown

4. Erawan Shrine

5. Central World

6. Siam Paragon

7. 紅衫軍

8. 戰利品

Bangkok 越夜越美麗 （一）

I was assigned to fly to Bangkok for a business trip. It had been years that I set foot on this place. I think should be 3 years ago! It is great to come back to 重溫 this place.

1. Air Line and Airport
I did not take SQ which I know many of my friends feel it is a waste. But the reason I took Thai Airway is because of the timing I want. Any way, it is a short trip. So SQ or not, I feel it is ok. Suvarnabhumi Airport is a huge airport! It really take me sometime to reach the customs. This time round, I feel it is much more efficient. I managed to clear the customs within mins!

2. Transport
I took a cab from the airport and it is quite affordable and fast. I heard that a new airport express train will be ready in August. So you can take a train from airport to downtown next time. Within my stay in Bangkok, I did not take the BTS like last time. I opt for taxi instead. The driver now are more willing to on the meter and the jam is much better.

3. Hotel
My Bangkok associate helped me booked Pathumwan Princess as it is closed to office. It is a 4 stars hotel and has been recently renovated. The rooms is big and facilities are very modern. Guess what? The bathroom to the sleeping room is separated just by a piece of see through glass! Good for couple. 不過﹐there is a controlled curtain to save your privacy. Lucky I stay alone. Ha! The location is very good! Just beside MBK and opposite many shopping areas! The staffs are also very professional and friendly. Thumbs up.

迎接 Tiger Year at 牛車水

虎年 is around the corner and one of the 最有過年氣氛 should be Chinatown (牛車水). The lighting is up and all the 吉祥物 are there. It is quite crowded with people 辦年貨 at last minute. So usually I will come to this place to 感受一下 the new year mood. 呵呵﹗

Starhub 切斷 my service

Lately I found out my internet and cable TV all cannot access. So I called up Starhub. They told me my service is suspended. I was shocked and tried to find out why. They told me I have outstanding bill. However, it is found that I have paid up 3 weeks ago! Then they still got the cheek to tell me there is a reconnecting fee of $15! 好搞笑﹗Of course I refused and 和他們講道理。Finally, they gave in to waive off. Terrible!

Shabu-Shi 種類不多﹐Service 很好

Shabu-Shi is a 一人一鍋 Japanese buffet and have four soup base to choose from. There is a conveyor belt like Sakae Sushi with all the food circulating. You just take the food you like and put them into the steamboat. The drinks are free flow plus ice cream. The variety of food is not that many and food wise is ok. But I like the service there. You get fast, prompt and friendly service.

Legion 可以再好

Legion talks about an archangel Michael being sent by God to destroy humanity. However, along the way, Michael changed his mind and decided to save mankind instead. The story plot sounds rather interesting. The movie also 營造很多恐怖氣氛。But I feel that it could be much better. Many parts are just senseless shooting. The characters can be further developed. I also dislike the ending. It is a good try but with many misses.

錦衣衛 Fighting scenes are 一流

Donnie Yen is the head of 錦衣衛 and during one mission, he was being betrayed by his 兄弟 (Qi Yuwu). Donnie managed to escape and try to complete his final mission. The story plot is nothing new but 我喜歡 the fighting moves. The flow of the movie is great as there are "mini boss" fights throughout the show which makes it not boring. Overall, well done.

可惜 CK Jeans Promotion

There is a sale going on and I saw a nice CK Jeans shirt. After all the discount, it is $105. I think and think but finally did not get. But when at home, I regret not buying. So a week later, I finally decide to get. 誰知道? Promotion over and the shirt also gone. Sob!!! So the moral of the story is "if you like something and can afford it, go get it."

Say Cheeze! 吃到笑口常開

Say Cheeze is a cafe style restaurant that sells food with lots of cheese. However, they also have little cheese food. I ordered the usual. A main and a soup come in a coconut. The food is rather tasty. But the thing 我喜歡 more is their service. It is prompt and friendly. The waiter will top up the ice water without asking. Overall, it is quite a nice experience.

Did You Hear About The Morgans? 情節一般

Did You Hear About The Morgans talks about a very successful couple on the verge of splitting up. However, they have witnessed a murder and forced to live together on a safe place under protection. This comedy love story is painfully slow. 笑話不好笑﹐情節沒起伏。Overall, it is not really what I expected. The casts are good but story is bad.

Really 忙瘋了﹗

This month really have many things waiting for me to do! Everything throw at me. They all thought I am 三頭六臂﹗But my friend said I should think on the bright side said 能者多勞﹗Ha! Well, I have my accept my fate then.

物超所值 at Tangs

My friend wanted to buy a ladies Burberry perfume at $131. The sales person said if buy above $220, we will get freebies that include:

• Burberry Brit Mens
• Burberry Teddy Bear
• Roxy Ladies
• Cosmetic Box
• Tote Bag

After listening, she bought another $131 since she used perfume quite fast. Ha.. Then, when we were paying, the cashier told us if buy above $368, we can redeem a 人月牌鮑魚。Since we are only $108 short, we decided to get something. She ends up telling me that she actually wanted to get Issey Miyake perfume. It cost $121 and if throw in another $29, can get Issey Miyake Mens! So end up we bought a whole lot of perfume. But I am the winner cos the mens perfume are all quite cheap. As I am using Tangs Citibank card, I got 10% rebate, free parking at Tangs and a MAC lipstick! Really something.

“跌破” Spectacles

My current 眼鏡 is about 2 years plus and the screw is a bit loose. I always tightened it myself. But 終於 it gives way and my spectacles 1 becomes 2! But luckily, I got a spare one and quickly send my broken specs to 眼鏡店搶救﹗Finally, it 撿回一條命。呵呵﹗So I can still use it.

Happy New Year! 迎接 2010 年

Happy New Year 2010!!!! My new year resolution is to exercise more! Ha! 減肥﹗
