A Year Ago, Today.

It was Xin's hen-nite a year ago Today - 8 Sept 07.

Which was when we met.

Love ya Babu =)

Whirlwinded

So many things happened lately, be it good or bad, work or play.

@ Work:

1. Just as I thought I'd recovered and learned from the boo boo the last time, another atomic bomb dropped on me and this time, it was a pure sabotage which hit me worse - We were provided the wrong info and this piece of info was used to publish an advert in the papers. Got some parties really offended and instant recovery had to be done. For the 1st time in my working life, I shot these people bloody angry emails with lotsa exclamation marks. So many cockups along the whole event and now this. Fed up... Got so blown up that they are to clear the mess on print. And coz of this all my efforts for the whole campaign were wiped out. AGAIN.

2. As if these were not enough, I received a sms which was not meant for me. And the best thing is? The sms WAS ABOUT ME. Not good stuff of coz... Smacked me in the face so hard that it's unreal, yet I know I gotta do something about it. So next day, clarified many things with the sender, and I have to see how things go. One thing after the other, really quite battled n bruised.

3. Hosted some luncheons for our customers at Fairmont & Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant respectively... These are some of the food we had...

The 1st four were from Fairmont's Prego Restaurant while the rest were from Palm Beach. The last desert, an ang-moh style bor bor cha cha, was super nice! Coconut ice-cream on top of some yam n sweet potato pieces, drenched with gula melaka sauce. Yum! This Wed's dinner will be at Mandarin Oriental..

@ Play:

1. Dylan aka Baby Mickey's full-month party! Asked a fren to help me buy a set of Mickey Family from Hong Kong's Disneyshop for Xin & Family... Probably my smartest gift-idea so far heh.. Here's the pic I gopped from Xin:

2. Me n my 偶像s meet again after a year haha... It's the season of the Pesta Sukan Vball Open Competition again and like last year, I only found out it'd started during the quarter-finals -_-". And this year, most of the matches are held at Jurong West Sports Hall! So damn far... have only gone to watch twice so far... Anywayz the team in the semi-finals are PSA, VA, TP and VS. Can't watch the matches on this Wed coz I have a nite event... Damn! Finals will be at CCK Sports Hall on 31 Aug, this Sunday, from 1330hrs onwards. My 偶像s are still as good of coz, though I thought No.14 put on weight liao. VS has this fierce-looking n big-sized spiker this year who looks like he's out to kill... TP is quite strong this year too. Let me know if u wana go n watch ya.

3. Fireworks festival! Watched it at the Floating Platform last Friday.. The team was on France and its damn nice as always. The last piece of music that they used was so apt but I duno the title - often used for mad horses-rushing scenarios, if you know what I mean hee.

4. Had CG Family Day @ the Zoo n Nite Safari last sat... Went to Nite Safari for the 1st time.. nothing much one, heng i didn't have to pay for it, otherwise pui chao nuah. It also rained the whole day, so animals went into shelter as well... Nothing much, there was this grassland with a silly giraffe who refused to stand up and 2 zebras, huge rodents, rock boulder-lookalike hippos, etc. but oh, the bats' cave was interesting though =p

Wah, just realised I've been blogging for 2+ hours, since I was back from lunch haha... =p

Happy Birthday Singapore!!!

...though I'm 2 days late heh

Watched NDP'08 Live from a suite @ Level 64 of Swissotel. The view was simply breath-taking and magnificent, especially during the Black Hawks' performance - They were like just zooming over our heads! The fireworks was v nice as well, but pity we were quite blocked by the balls of smoke... The Padang was quite happening too.. a human SG flag was formed at nite, which was quite spectacular. There were people everywhere! Here are a few snapshots:

The contingents marching in from Suntec Convention Centre

When night fell, both roads were cramped with people

Rain at the not-so-far end

Heart by the Black Hawks

Human flag @ the Padang

Overall, it was a great nite... Have always loved to watch NDPs live.. have been lucky to have watched it @ the Kallang Stadium for quite many times, including once which I went with Xin 7 years ago. I love Singapore!!!

Special Thanks to K&M for inviting us to their extended-bridal suite and No.10, for giving me the not-so-surprising-but-yet-sweet surprise... =p

Next up will be the fireworks festival! Can't wait!

三年了...你好吗?

好快... 一转眼就三年了...

心中的思念, 好多想对你说的话, 不知怎么说; 从何说起...

清舅, 我们海边见. '不要乱乱跑'.

=)

还好, 差一点就爽约, 要说对不起了...
虽然是迟了一点 =p
明年见!

HELLO BABY DYLAN!!!!

To Didi & Xin

恭喜恭喜!!!

1 Birthday. 2 Celebrations.

Papa, Mummy 生日快乐!!!

祝你们身体健康, 天天开心!

Same birthdays not recommended (??)... No pun intended. 知道的都应该明白.

Blessing in disguise??

?????????

Gloomed.

Never ever felt so bad and depressed @ work before.

It's my mistake, my carelessness. I take it as my responsibility.

But I can't take it, can't accept it, maybe can't even believe it.

- Personally and professionally.

What a bloody stupid error that shouldn't have happened.

Damn damn damn affected.

Slammed me to hell from my almost heaven.

原来我才是那个笑话.

Happy 3-Year Old to Me in CG!!!

So fast 3 years liao... Kindda amazed that I 'outlived' so many ex-colleagues haha..

Been having a damn bz period for I-lost-track-of-how-long already; with my current campaigns and upcoming Singapore Food Festival, which will be our 4th year of participation. Am having quite a fair bit of sense of achievement lately too - my company website, increased public exposure - bus and train ads, more news and radio ads, bigger-scale roadshows, etc., though they might not be as frequent or even-bigger-scale as what other companies can afford. Went to view my train @ Bt Batok Depot yesterday and I felt so damn proud! Waited for 3 years before we can have this scale of advertising.

Sometimes I don't like to explain to people what I do... coz it'll be like 'I have this this and that that campaign, event, roadshow, etc.' and it'll just sound so 'like that ONLY ar?', which doesn't do any justification to my busy-ness at all, coz they don't see the amount of nitty-gritty-and-time-consuming-details I have to go through. Anyhow, I seem to be going off-track. Can't think straight, damn tired after going around to 4 hawker centres (all the way to Boon Lay) to visit customers...

Guess I'll end with what I mentioned for my 2nd anniversary... 'Wonder how many more anniversaries to come? Hmmm....'.

No 'GOAL!!!' please

Was having dinner @ a kopitiam @ Bt Batok last week when I saw this..

If this works, maybe should propose to libraries to telecast matches as well?

敏感话语 一之懂与不懂

(要)懂, 为了学问, 为了好奇心; 为了生活, 为了做事; 为了了解, 为了学习.

不(要)懂, 因为无知, 因为幼稚, 因为天真; 因为害怕, 因为逃避; 因为无需, 因为懒得理.

懂太多, 就想得多, 不安, 不开心.

若是不懂, 又一大堆问号, 不安, 不开心.

有些事不懂得好, 有些事则懂比较好.

有些事不是不让你懂 , 而是天时地利和人都不合.

有些事让你懂了, 又一大堆问号, 不安, 不开心, 不忿, 愤怒, 等.

当然, 有些事让你懂了, 也带来了兴奋, 开心, 答案.

到底懂还是不懂好? Ignorance is Bliss, 你同意吗?
