免費 HP Netbook

I always wanted to get a laptop cos once in a while 我的工作所需。However, I am not willing to pay for one which I find that I will very underutilized it. Lucky me! Starhub has a promotion. Re-contract my maxonline to get a HP netbook. Although it is not a "real laptop", it is good enough for me as I only need some word processing power. Best of all, it is free! 哈哈﹗

Funan DigitaLife Mall 沒人

Sitex is here again but I decided to give it a miss cos I know it will be 人山人海。I also have nothing much to buy. So I end up went to Funan DigitaLife Mall instead. To my expectation, it is rather empty. But maybe it is empty usually. Ha.. Any way, I really have a good time slowly seeing the electronics goods and gadgets..

HSBC 有責任感

I like buying things online and lately I try to purchase something using HSBC card. Guess what? They called me several times to check if I am using the card! 好像被跟蹤似的﹗But I guess they are just trying to protect both their and customer interest.

Sentosa 好玩

I have not been to Sentosa for about 4 months since my friend Lock came to Singapore. This time round I step onto Sentosa again as I have a event there. I took a chance to sit the Skyride. When we went up, it is very high and my friends started to scream! They are really 誇張﹗But I do agree that it is very 刺激﹗So Lock, I will bring you there if you come here again. Ha!

我爱 buy shoes

I have a friend commented me that:"You are 鞋狂﹗" Ha.. Just because I bought a few nice pairs of shoes within a week does not make me that. Maybe they hate my shoes design. But I do admit that I bought many working shoes lately. So I guess I need to stop.

金嗓蔡琴 CD

I was passing by a CD shop and suddenly 心血來潮 of thinking to buy 蔡琴 CD. I love her 老歌 and her crystal clear voice. I end up buying a 4 discs set for $34.90 which I feel is quite worth. Using my Creative 7.1, I truely enjoy her 天籟之音﹗

District 9 有深度的 Alien Show

District 9 talks about a group of aliens stranded in South Africa and then housed in District 9 refugee camp in Johannesburg. After a while, the humans dislike them and the government forced to evict them to another area. The lead actor is a bureaucrat assigned to head the eviction is exposed to an alien substance that alters his DNA. So he has to work with alien to help them get home and also save himself. This show is shot in such a way like a documentary series. Looks refreshing. I tot it is some B grade movies but the special effects is surprising good. The story is quite touching. Overall, I quite like it though 我頭暈 after watching this.

The Proposal 相當不錯

The Proposal is a romantic comedy about Sandra Bullock forces her assistant Ryan Reynolds to marry her after learning that she will be deported to Canada. Then, as usual they really fall in love in the end. It is actually like While You Were Sleeping. The lead actress pretend to be engaged to the lead actor. Then, found out that the lead actor family is so nice and she could not lie anymore and tell the truth. Indeed, this show is low on 新鮮感。But luckily, the movie 勝在 the chemistry between the two leads and of cos 美麗的 Alaska 景色。Watch out for the 銀幕處裸 of Sandra Bullock. As for the ladies, watch out for Ryan Reynolds. Ha!

命中註定我愛你 I Love It

Channel U now is showing 命中註定我愛你 and I happened to catch one episode. I find that the show is very nice. It has all the winning 元素﹗The plot is romantic, funny and heart warming. The lead casts look good and the songs are very nice! I am thinking of getting the DVD. Haha..

降低 LDL

Lately I found that my LDL 偏高。LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein. It's also sometimes called "bad" cholesterol. Only way to control LDL is to 戒口。呵呵﹗But I too 貪吃。So I guess I need to control.

7.1 聲響

I have finally set up my Creative 7.1 speakers in my room. I have them connected with my Creative Decoder and hook up to my DVD player, Xbox360 and LCD TV with using 光纖纜. It is so fantastic! The speakers are very well built. I tested it with Narnia DVD and the DTS sound effect of the final fighting scenes 超好﹗The speakers really 物超所值﹗

Ultimate Shockwave “氣”功

Today I have a final showdown with someone in my company. I always try to be give in and endure but today I lose it and release my ultimate combo finish. He was shocked and could not believe I did that. I was extremely angry and I feel 忍無可忍﹗I hope he got my message. I can be very nice but dun test my limit.

非人生活 Extremely busy

I am really up to neck recently and I do not know how long I can handle. Not not be 誇張 but I am now doing 3 people work but I always feel I am not appreciated. My work schedule is now till end of the year. I do not know how long I will endure. Haha.

Street Fighter VI 超級好玩﹐不過難玩

街頭霸王 lately has released Street Fighter IV. I am always a Street Fighter fan and of course I will want to get this game. However, the price 讓我卻步。Many places sell the XBox 360 version for more than $80! I was hoping to get it like $50 thought it is quite unlikely. Haha. Any way, I managed to get it at $76. But the money is well spent. The game is fun and graphic is nice. But it is difficult to release ultra combo move for the character using my controller. The final showdown with Seth is really fun.

"免費" LCD TV

I always wanted to get a LCD monitor or TV to put in my room. But everytime I 不捨得 spend such money. One reason is I have one brand new Samsung 26" LCD monitor sitting at home idling. It belongs to my brother. Lately I bought him a rather good bicycle value at $600+ (I got it for 50% due to some lobang) for his birthday. He feels very touch and gave me his 26" TV. So I now got a "免費" LCD TV in my room. Yeah!

Unwell 我又病了

Maybe I work too hard, I am sick again. 呵呵﹗But when you sick at this 非常時期 is a bit worrying. I monitor closely myself to make sure I am not that lucky. After a 2 days rest, my flu symptom is gone! Yeah! Again, must not overwork or immune system will down.

Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince 超級無聊

I decided to catch Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince this 大製作 thinking it will be a very nice show. However, I am 大錯特錯﹗One word to summarize it all: Boring! This time round the show focuses on developing plot and characters until the show is very boring. Potter's friends also become less important in this series. All they do is 談情說愛。 No monsters fight and limited great spells. But the special effects are still there. Overall, this 2 hours plus show really is a drag!

Discovery Channel Magazine 精彩有趣

A magazine caught my eyes lately. It is the Discovery Channel Magazine. Every month, it talks about many interesting Science facts. I just bought the July issue as the glossy cover looks attractive. It costs $7.50 per issue which I feel a bit on the high side. Now I am wondering should I 月訂 it?

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen 特效一流 故事漏油

好不容易 caught Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen as it has been full house for 2 weeks! Compared to first episode, this time round it is more 遜色 as the show is a bit too long and a bit draggy. The story tries to include funny elements which dun really turn out well. This time round the movie overdid it with tonnes of transformers until I dunno who fight who. Basically is 兩堆鐵 fighting. Haha. But the visual and sound effect are quite good. But the end fight is too simple.

享受 CD

I was passing a CD shop and found a nice CD. It is actually a 6 discs oldies love songs compilation. These 老情歌 really brings back fond memories. The tracks are really nice and it is really worth the money as it is sold for a 1 disc price. Haha..

惡心 Durian Feast

My company has organized a durian eating event! Yes! Many people are cheering but only me is jeering. Because 我不吃榴蓮﹗I really dislike the smell and taste! It is really gross! After all the eating, my smelly colleagues still walk about to spread the smell. Haha.. I have forced myself to like but it fails. So I guess it is 天意﹗

Da Vinci The Genius Exhibition 令我嘆為觀止

Science Center 迎進 Da Vinci The Genius exhibition to Singapore and we are the first country in the region to bring in the exhibition directly from Italy. Da Vinci was a renowned renaissance artist, philosopher and scientist etc.. You name it, he was it. Most famous painting should be Mona Lisa and about 25% of the exhibition is on it. used a technique to measure the light reflection from the portrait and they have found that when the portrait was painted 500 years ago, Mona Lisa had six fingers on her left hand. Also of cos there is The Last Supper which is made more famous by the movie The Da Vinci Code. The entrance fee is $15 and it took me 2 hours to finish it. After the exhibition, as usual, I will buy 紀念品﹗呵呵﹗

兩天快樂 at Chalet

It has been a long time I went for a chalet. My family organized a get together at NTUC downtown east chalet. It has changed quite a bit since I last visited there. There is a big mall with many eateries. We BBQ on the first day but 天不作美﹗It rained! But 不幸中的大幸 is the rain becomes much smaller in the evening. So we did managed to have our BBQ.


The second day I did not really did anything. Morning we have our breakfast at the food court. Then, afternoon we had our lunch at the mall and dinner we had some food at Changi Village. The rest of the time is idling in the chalet. Sound bored but I have a good time during these 2 days of leaves! It is an ultimate rest for me.

迷上 Facebook

All along I do not like the idea of facebook as I feel it is a bit invasion of privacy as your friends know who you know. That is why I sort of 抗拒。But after many of my friends, colleagues and relatives keep talking to me with facebook language, I decided to create an account to see what they have been up to. Now I have been using facebook to post messages to my friends. Though it is fun, I simply use it to update myself on my friends just like a blog.

豐富多彩的 Singapore Science Center

It has been a while since I last visited Science Center. I got a corporate pass and bring my family there for a walk. When I step in, then I realized it is so big. It is separated into many themes and have many wonderful exhibition! Throughout this trip, I re-learn many forgotten science facts and knowledge! 簡直是大開眼界﹗There is a section on nano-nanotechnology which is my field of work. The write up is 深入淺出﹐very good for layman! There is even an updated facts on H1N1! I really enjoy very much. But in order to slowly enjoy all exhibitions, I guess you need to plan at least 1 whole day there.

Blood: The Last Vampire B級娛樂

Blood: The Last Vampire is the first Hollywood movie of Gianna Jun (全之賢) but she is let down by the movie. The 造型 suits her and story from anime supposed to be interesting. However, the B grade special effects, senseless killing and bad acting from some supporting casts make it very boring. The ending is to fight with powerful demons but end up it is so easily finished. I am really very let down by the overall package.

變相 PC Show

This year PC show surprising I gave it a miss. This is because this PC show has become one that I dun recognize any more. Last time, when mention PC show, come flooding into the mind is 便宜﹐賑品。This time round 便宜﹐賑品 also came to mind but just that it is not true. I asked a friend to check out Aigo portable media for me. The sales guy said usual price $499, now selling $399. Good deal right? Wrong! Cos it is usually selling $399 outside. So if you dun keep track of price like my friend, you will just go ahead and bought it. Another is Viewsonic LCD 24" monitor. It is $339. Sounds good? No! Cos 3 months ago it is selling $369 but throw in a HDMI able of $89. So if the deal is not better off than usual or 3 months ago, what for I squeeze my life off to be get cheated?

Living in 水深火熱之中

It is very hot lately. The temperature 直逼 36 度﹗I have been hiding in the aircon room for as far as I can remember. When I am outside, I sweat like as if I fell into water and and feel hot like I am in a ball of fire. So tell me if am I living in "水深火熱之中" everyday? 呵呵﹗

生活昇華 @ Orchard

I always wondering how is it living in Orchard road. So I finally 如願以償 to get a chance to live there. I stayed in a penthouse just behind Good Wood Park hotel. The house is nice but not very big. The view is good as it oversees the start of Orchard road. But other than that, it is not as exciting as I thought it would be. Yes, you are living in the heart of Singapore but it is not as exclusive as I would prefer to be.

終結 Terminator Salvation 吧﹗

Terminator Salvation is the fourth episode of the series Terminator. Just in case you forget what it talks about (which I really dun remember when I watched this show). I just simply brushed it as
Terminator 1: John Connor as baby
Terminator 2: John Connor as teens
Terminator 3: John Connor as twenties
Terminator 4: John Connor as thirties
Basically, this show throws out more plot that helps you to link to part 1. 故事沒什麼。特效還不錯。There is a surprise special "appearance" by "someone" right at the end of the show. I wonder if this show is necessary as I find they just trying to squeeze out something? But since it is out, in order to complete the story, you might want to check it out.

I am 冷血

Due to H1N1, the library also started 實行量體溫。The staff uses a non-contact infra red thermometer to measure my body temperature. He aims the device on my forehead. First reading: 34.2 degree Celsius!! He 嚇了一跳﹗Then, he measured again. Second reading: 34.1 degree Celsius. In the end, I was let into the library. My friend is 36.0 degree Celsius. So my friend's conclusion is I am 冷血﹗Haha!

Angels and Demons 精彩絕倫

Angels and Demons is a sort of sequel to The Da Vinci Code. But they have actually not much linkage. This time round Tom Hanks is asked to solve a series of murder mystery going on in Vatican City. He will run around trying to get clue to give the next clue. I like this kind of story. The story is written until very 精彩 as it include myths and facts which makes it sounds very convincing! I love the last part that involves Ewan Mcgregor. 非常感人﹗

Villa Bali 情調優美

I have recently found a nice place to chill out. It is Villa Bali located next to former River Valley High. This bar is quite classy and the setting is 有如身在 Bali. But certain cocktails they 調出來 are not that nice. This place 勝在 not crowded and good variety of wine selection. Pricing wise is also reasonable. Good for a group of people to hangout and chat.

Contact Lens 被水衝走

I always wear contact lens to swim and 每次都 ok. But who knows! Bad luck strikes. I think I swim too fast and the right side of my contact lens is being washed out from my eyes!! I end up having half clear and half blur vision to drive home! Any way, the good news is I found out my this pair of contact lens already 4 years old, so I guess 舊的不去﹐新的不來。呵呵﹗

母親節 at Imperial Herbal Restaurant

Today is 母親節 and like previously, we always will eat out to celebrate. This time round we went to Imperial Herbal Restaurant at VivoCity. This place is recommended by my brother. 顧名思義, the restaurant uses herbal for their dishes. They are also quite famous for their tea. Per cup is $15! Dun play play. Haha. But we choose another kind by bottle and ask them to 泡。It is cheaper this way. Haha. Both the food and tea are quite nice and suppose to be healthy. So I guess I will drop by soon. I hereby 祝天下媽媽們母親節快樂﹗

買 Swimming Trunk 記

I have decided to go back to my exercise routine recently. One of my favourite sports is swimming. But my old trunk 不可以見人 so time to get a new one. I went to World of Sports. The trunk looks ok but nothing fantastic. Haha. In the end, I bought I ok looking one. Then, I happened to pass by Royal Sporting House. Guess what? I saw a very nice pair! At that moment, I really wanted to buy it. But after thinking, I feel I should not waste money since I already gotten one pair already.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine 前慢後快﹐但值得一看

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a spin off from X-Men 三步曲。 It is actually considered a prequel to X-Men movie. The show started off a bit slow. However, I think this is due to trying to build up the storyline and focus more on the characters development. Actual Wolverine does not get the best screen time. In fact, Agent Zero and Wade Wilson have a cooler entrance to the movie. But I think Gambit steals the show. Though he is out only at the later part, his screen time has to be the best with stylo display of power. The final part involves young mutants but only 2 display power which a bit boring. Overall, this prequel is rather nice. Got post credit scenes.

香江之旅 Cancelled

一個突如其來的瘟神 H1N1打亂 my travel plan to Hong Kong. I have already booked air ticket and hotel for the up coming weekend. But just when I thought my relax week is coming, 香港 there confirmed a case and quarantine the whole hotel! I am not worried about the swine flu but the quarantine that will give many inconveniences. So in the end, I have to cancel everything advice by friends around me. Luckily, I am able to get a full refund for both my air ticket and hotel.

有朋從 Kuala Lumpur 來

My internet friend, Lock, has finally set his foot in Singapore. He and his girlfriend came here to relax over the weekend. Lock 生平第一次 came here which I feel it is 不可思議﹗呵呵﹗I went to pick him up at his hotel and took him to Sentosa which I feel is a must visit place.

We had our lunch at the hawker center below Mount Faber. Then we proceed to Vivocity to take a tram into Sentosa. First stop is Underwater World.

Then, we went to another place to see the pink dolphin.

Finally we went up to top of the Merlion and have a bird's eye view of Sentosa.


After touring these few places in Sentosa, it is almost 8pm. Then we took the tram back to Vivocity and bring them to Geylang for dinner before sending them back to hotel. I hope they enjoy the trip to Sentosa.
