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.

Mid Autumn Festival (中秋节) Celebration

Today my company has a celebration on Mid Autumn festival. There are some sings session performed by our own staffs and some sing quite well! Then, they invited some people from Tea Chapters (茶渊) to give us a demo on the art of tea drinking. Also not to forget the main lead - mooncake (月饼)! They bought many kinds and one got is durian from Good Wood Park hotel which is my nemesis. Haha!

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.

Comex 2008

Just came back from Comex 2008. Nearly no time to go. Any way, I got nothing in mind and company my friend to go. This time I think the crowd management is slightly better. I did not trapped in any human jams. There are more walking space. This time round not many things got my attention. Just saw some nice gadgets I might be buying in next show. Like BlueAnt Supertooth 3. This bluetooth handset looks good. Nothing to stick into you ears and it is voice recognition. But too bad did not ask for the price as my friend walked quite fast. But I suspect the price should be in $150 region. Walked 2 levels and finally bought a mobile TV set holder for my car. Haha.

Great service from Kinokuniya

Today I went to Orchard Kinokuniya. I usually wun frequent book stores as I feel the books there are expensive. I was browsing around and saw this nice service provided by Kinokuniya. Ok, I might a bit mountain turtle. There is this computer station which allows you to search for books that is in stock in the book stores and you can print out the map that points you to the right direction!! This is great!

Singapore Flyer

There is a guest in town lately. He is a professor from Harvard which I invite to our company for a talk. As a host, I bring him to some places of interests as this is the first time he is here. So I brought him to Singapore Flyer. This ferry wheel is currently the largest in the world surpassing London Eye and stands at 165m. It costs $29.50 and will take about 30 mins for one round. So it is average $1 per minute. After the ride, I feel it is ok only. Maybe should visit at night where it is cooler and have a beautiful view. Or wait for the casino to be ready and the view should be more spectacular.

Burn midnight oil

Today I have a huge presentation. I need to present in front of my company. The notice came quite late. Only 2 weeks. You might think 2 weeks? A lot of time what! But this time, the presentation needs to have a lot of market info and reports which are very difficult to come by. Any way, I worked till 1am every night just for the collection of info and data mine those info into useful data. Dun even have time to blog. But it is worth cos today everything went very smoothly!! Hee... Finally can sleep early tonight.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I just came back from watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I feel this show is not as nice the previous two. The new wife lacks of chemistry with the lead male. The son is a bit too old to call them father and mother. Very not suitable. Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have only a little bit of screen time. Mainly at the starting and ending. The Shanghai part also not realistic. Too modern. Looks like this era. The special effects a bit too computer for the monsters. Overall, only one word: disappointing.

The X Files: I Want To Believe

I just back from watching The X Files: I Want to Believe. I seldom watch the TV series so dunno what the whole series talk about. But roughly I know it is about Aliens. Overall, I feel that this show is ok only. This time round there are no aliens which I feel a bit sian and this movie actually got some ending. Haha. Mulder and Scully still looks good. Although many talking, I feel not boring but story not as exciting and not so mystery.

Unique seafood

My family and I went to old race course at Bukit Timah for dinner. This is to celebrate my brother's birthday. We went to Unique seafood which is quite famous. At first, I tot Unique Seafood is a restaurant. But later found out that it is just a seafood market but supply some seafood to the restaurants on the same level. So we end up in Owen Restaurant for our dinner. It is quite crowded for a weekday night. We order a 8 dish course and one Alaska crab. The 8 dishes are from the restaurant and the crab is bought from Unique. Overall, the food are quite nice and service quite good lah.

Oyster Omelette (蚝煎)

Today I am craving for Oyster Omelette (蚝煎). The reason is that yesterday I watched a show talking about oyster omelette by Kym Ng. This made me suddenly feel like eating oyster omelette. Haha. I also long time did not eat that is why I have a sudden craving for it. Finally, I have it for lunch and satisfied my desire. Ha..

霸王餐

Today I went to canteen for lunch and buy chicken rice. My friend did the ordering and I just stand one side and take some soup from the container besides the store. So after the food is ready, we left the stall. Then, the store owner keep shouting for us. Then, I ask my friend:"Have you paid?" Then he replied"Forget." Then, I went back to pay up. But guess what? The store owner said sorry to us! Haha. Weird. Any way, I feel quite malu but it is my friend fault so he more malu. Haha.

Red Cliff 1 (赤壁1)

I just came back from watching Red Cliff 1 (赤壁1). After reading reviews and strongly recommended by my friends who watch it, I raise my hope high before watching. However, after watching it, I feel it is only so so for part 1. Maybe it is because I did not read the book before. So I dun really get to enjoy. There are many talking and have a few occasional jokes. The war scenes looks nice but the fighting and killing all looks too familiar which can be found in other shows. I like Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) and Sun Shang Xiang (Zhao Wei) the best. The acting is more natural. The rest are so so and worst is Sun Quan (Zhang Zheng) . Overall, I feel the show is more on the boring side. I hope Part 2 will be better.

The Regent Hotel

Today my company has an event at the Regent Hotel. I was assigned to the help out at the reception counter. The registration went on very smoothly and finally my job is done by 8pm when the event started. So the rest of the time is to sit back and relax and enjoy my 8 course dinner. Haha!!
