Today is...

Today's Halloween, Today's Pearl's Birthday, Today's Shirley's Last Day, Today's Friday!

Today! So many events.
Best of which is TGIF! And the weekend is coming.

The China colleagues are going off back home this Sunday, so a mini seafood session @ The International Seafood Resturant, for them
and also for Shirley's farewell i guess. We got Shirley a present though. A quilt cover that comes with 2 pillow case for her new home.
I wonder how she will feel today. She's here for 10 over years.

To leave a place she's so familiar with must be strange feeling.
Happy to leave the mess behind, but missing the last moments here.

It's 7pm as i type along, heehee seriously wonder how she's feeling.

I need to eat lunch.

It's been a really tough week. Halfway through but still alot more to come.

It's been an all 8am report to work scheme. I hate it. Be there at 8?!

Usually i am still not awake at 8am lor. But due to so many trainings going on. I don't really have a choice.

Somemore today really not my day.
I have a typo in someone's surname andhe blew his top.... Ya it's my mistake but it's a typo lor. Relax la.

Anyway.. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
Pack pack schedule. I don't even have time to lunch!

I want to eat lunch!!!

2nd Time (2.22am)

Yeahh! I did it again.

I completed "God of War" again. This time in a more difficult mode, but nevertheless, still cleared the game.

This happen to be my favourite game. I played many series and versions of it from PSP to PS2.
For "Chain of Olympus", i first completed it on a plane ride to Shanghai, taking the time to and fro to complete the game in easy mode. Today was in normal mode so a little longer, took 4days (Total hrs unknown).

The fun in the game is the unlimited killing involved and the "power" that Kratos, the character can achieve, making killing even more bloody, fast and fun

It's a great stress buster.

Deepavali -1Day

I love Long weekends, it is the best thing that can come combined with a public holiday.
It's Sunday already yet there's another day of break waiting for me.

The memory pillow proves to be harder then i expect. My sore throat from KTV is still lingering and i am now tired from the 2 hour i spend at the Sengkang swimming pool. Today was a short day as time really flew by me.

Glad that dinner at Changi Airport was filling as well as relaxing. Watching the TV now, i wondered what will happen when blogspot decided to close down. Does that mean all my diary like entires goes flop? So i went to do a search and i found it...

Not that i will try to back it up, due to the tedious amount of steps required.
Well if it does then too bad... can't help it.

Tired.

菊花台

Was at Partyworld (TeaLovers) just the other day and chance upon this song, 菊花台, as the top hits for October and tried it.

Pretty easy song to sing as there was not many high pitch and difficult 圈音. As usual, i K the song until my sore throat came and when this happen, the typical signal that my brain sends out will be to start 背叛 until i cannot make it, which i did.

However, this 菊花台 song had such nice lyrics that it rings in my head for a while and Mrs Neo and myself decided to get the DVD to watch. I went to the new videoezy to rent it today and the offer was if i top up the value to $20, they give me the DVD for free! Woot! I did exactly that and brought the disc home to watch..

But hai... after watching, my throat was full of phlem. 哇靠！Jay Chou didn't win lor. Matter of fact be died. The "bad guy" remain in throne and the good died. The show was also personally rated slow for me and i did not really understand what happen until the very last stage. So one must have very good memory to realise the meaning of the show.

But yeah.. it's not one of those shows i will like. Actual fact i hate it quite a lot.
Love the song la. That's about all.

Don't watch it.

Memory Pillow

Heehee.. today Mrs Neo went shopping and brought me a memory pillow.
I personally like softer pillow while Mrs Neo love hard pillows.

Thus she only brought one for me. It cost $99.00.
But it's on offer today and it's going for $29.00 only! Hmm.. how to describe leh.
It's like the Tempur brand..

I'm looking forward to a good night sleep.

我的爱心枕头

Sorry Lyon...

Errmm... Yups but Lyon was appointed quitter no.17.

More so, he was terminated with immediate effect.
Sad man. The sales team is one man down again. But it doesn't really affect me.

He's not my team anyway. But come to think of it. Nobody is my team anyway. Haha.

So dramatic. But i like it, it excites my day. So much to talk about over lunch.
Haha.

Anyway, i hope he finds a job soon.

Are we that rich?

The package actually arrive last Friday. Couriered in via DHL from U.S.A, Dalton.

I was the one who carried it into the Accounts room after seeing it lying in the reception.
And yesterday, the President of the company came over to Singapore, open up that box and ta-da!

They got new IBM T61 Thinkpad for all of us. I was like wow...
At a time like this still can think of upgrading our computers ah. Somemore the plan is to upgrade every 2years. (I wonder if i will stay till the next upgrade). 6 sets arrived for the Sales & Marketing Team first. The 2nd wave will follow suit soon and the plan is to upgrade everyone.

So is it good news? We are rich? We have a stable flow of capital?
Well i don't know, really.

Cause they did not get us new laptop bags...
It's part of a cost cutting exercise. Ahahah! Spend so much on the computer and don't get the bag.

Anyway... lost it, pay for it was the message across. You can spoilt it though. As long as it's around, you are save.

Hotels.de

Went thru numerous reviews and finally we short listed 2 hotels.
One for Hong Kong, one for Macau.

This trip is mainly targetted at Macau, we've never been there and since this will be a 5days4night getaway, we will do 2 nights in HongKong and the later 2 nights in Macau.

After really very very tedious search and comparisons with so many websites, we cut it down to the final 2 hotels in HongKong: (1) Holiday Inn (2) The Royal Plaza Hotel.
Well of course both have their attractions. Least to say, both have superb room size, a reputable name, spa and also very near the MTR stations.

End of the day, we picked the slightly more pricey Royal Plaza (i think S$60+ difference) - although it did not come with breakfast like Holiday Inn does. But, the location is superior with the Goldfish Market, Ladies Market in walking distance. Food is of course something that we will not lack in that location.
http://www.royalplaza.com.hk/

For Macau, we did not really have to decide. It's either the Vientica (I don't know how to spell) or the MGM Grand. I slapped my money on the MGM 100%. The sheer architecture of the hotel was worth every single penny. The 2 days stay here will cost me more then the hotel in HongKong + ferry tickets all round! But i guess it's a must stay for me even as i watch my wallet bleed. Seriously look at the website and you will know what i mean. The picture on the first page is the actual hotel shape! Amazing.

67Days to Macau!

I Refuse!

3.36am on my Gshock.

It's tuned to go 8mins ahead of the "GMT +8 Timing".

Still wide awake, surfing the web, it's Sunday already. I dread thinking of work on Monday and thus refuse to waste any "free" time sleeping. I went to wash my car at around 12midnight.
Yeah I must be crazy... but there was a guy who came at 12.30am to join me. Haha.

Got home after the carwash, had a shower and was watching "Miami Ink" while having a little late night cup noodle coupled with some left over fried rice. Did 50 push ups, ended up with thrembling hands. Brushed my teeth, gurgled with the new try out of Systema mouth rinse instead of the usual Listerine (Listerine is stronger, but Systema is from Japan. Listerine? Is it made in China? *Freaks out*) and now am online to waste more time away.

Checking my emails and schedules, following Monday will be quite packed also.
Hai... But i do look forward to speaking to Jocelyn and checking out Macau with her.

I hope today, Sunday, will be a fufiling day. We already have plans to lunch at Waraku, get to the gym around 5pm and tumble down to my parent in-law's place for dinner tomorrow. Of course have to slot in some beauty naps in between to recharge my body for another week of work, work work!

I'm so bored now that i even embedded a song into the blog. Well i guess the song seems very right at the moment. The mood feels right. The aircon is just nice and i'm in a happy loving mood too.

69Days to Macau!
Give me my break!

Plan your own travel

http://sg.pyotravel.com/

Such a great website! However, in comparison with asiarooms, it lacks the comments section
so it's quite a chore to check back and forth to confirm a hotel.

However, price wise, it's a winner.

70days to Macau!
St Pauls' Ruin, The Grand MGM, Disneyland, Shenzhen, here i come!

We're going to Portugal!

Yeahhh...

We're flying Tiger! Yes yes...
My planted secret agent send me the sms at 2pm this afternoon telling me the news that there's an offer online now and i immediately activated Mrs Neo to do a dash to the keyboard to do the booking.

And so, YES! We managed to book the tickets! To Macau!
Heehee..

Well, it's said that Macau had a lot of Portuguese influence and since we had no money to go anywhere else, Macau seems like a wonderful option!

Heehee.. So happy. Finally booked my year end trip.
I was really wondering if we may skip travelling this year as it's already mid October and there's still no plans. Really super glad that we grabbed this in. I SERIOUSLY will go crazy if i don't travel out in December.

Hahaha. 5 days. Should be spending a fair deal in Hong Kong as Mrs Neo suddenly said that she wishes to visit Disneyland. Hmm i really don't remember that in her hit list after our visit to Japan's Disneyland. Heehee...

Anyway it didn't really matter as i am so happy about this event.
Maybe i will book a night in the new Crown hotel, 6stars leh.
I heard the toilet is gold plated!

WOOOOOOOoooo YESHHHHH!

Nikon D90

When i get my commision, i may just get this.
Maybe, maybe not.

But i love it. I love cameras, sunglasses, devices that can go online, handphones, aiyah i love a lot of things. But who have the money to buy everything anyway.

My job is tough man. But end of the year is coming!
It's time for me to get paid for all the things i've done so far. I guess it's the happiest period of time in the year for me.

Especially december, where all the people starts to take it slow. Alot of us goes on leave. This week you, next week me. Phone calls are relatively less and we get to clear our mind and soak in the festive season once again.

This coming year's CNY will fall in Jan. Which is even a better break!
Do you know next year, there are more then 10 long weekends?
That's why my sis said...

In Jan there's supposed to be 3 long weekend already!

Yippie! Relax time!

Countdown Ticker

Saw a ticker off Enjie's blog and it was so cool i decided to add one to my own.

Watching it count down makes me realise that life is so short. I watch it tick for at least 15seconds... and i just wasted 15seconds of my life watching the screen.

A month more to my 2nd year anniversary. Incredible feeling. It seems so fast and 2years went by just like that. Mrs Neo is sleeping already. Watching her sleep (yeah she's really deep into her sleep), i wonder what it would be like if i did not marry her and i married let's say my ex/ex-ex or whoever, just someone else.

Hmm.. it's really hard to imagine how my life would be like now.

But really, i'm glad i made the right choice. Now we both are happy, my mum's happy. We live happily (most of the time) together, plan to move into the new house together and be happy (most of the time).

I get off work everyday to go home to see her, or fetch her back from work.
It's coming 2 years now, i'm still not sick of her! Haha.
I guess i can still feel happy for many good years to come, adding a ticker every year.

Lovingly Signed,
Mr Electronic Neo

Singapore 2nd F1 Night Race 2009 or Felicia's Wedding?

The season where everyone starts to get married around you comes.

It's starting for me since around 1year back and i don't think it's going to stop soon.
Following this will be a series of house warming, baby shower and baby 1st year old. Well as we all age, it's the part of life that most of us will go through.

Chatting with Felica over MSN, she broke to me the news that her wedding will be on the 2009 Night Race in Singapore!

Wow! i was like, what a date man. But must be a good date la i thought.
Haha. Of course her worry will be turn out. But i guess those that will come, will come.
Those that does not plan to come, will not. So it will not matter that much, in my opinion.

But you will never know, what if that date is the Finals of the race and those people brought a 3day pass? Hmmm...

I must remember to blog this a year later and read back on this post and update the results.

Blogging is fun, i imagine reading back on my post a year later (or more to come), to see what happen x years back, on the same day.

Palawan Beach & The Pines

We were there yesterday for the Robert Bosch Family Day.

My sis's working in the company and since we had nothing better to do, we went over to have some sun and fun. The event was really so-so. Nothing much to shout about, but with a lot of food and loud music that anyone could handle.

The Palawan beach on Sentosa, away from the more famous Siloso beach is a haven for sun tanners, volleyball players and also beach soccer. The sand close to the shoreline is ultra soft, the waves that comes in is also gentle, i guess due to the fact that it's shaped like a lagoon, with the impact of the waves all absorbed by the breakwater surrounding it.

In fact i really think it's best for suntanning. Lotsa space around even on Saturday.
I am sure to visit it again in the near future.

Sentosa changed a lot these days. The moved the entry gate further back, now payment for vehical is via the cashcard system and they build up more carpark, ample spaces for everyone, anywhere you wish to park.

--

The transition was then to my army friend's wedding at "The Pines". The places was decent. Not a well located area i must say. First time there.. so....

But someone valet parked for me. Which i really don't like. I don't rev my car across the 4rpm mark. But i guess they dint' care about it at all. Hai...

Well as i am already married, of course i took lead to mix a classic "undrinkable" toast for the groom, i'm not afraid! I'm married i told the rest of the guys. All joined in as well of course. The "toast" smelt like pepper more then anything. And Jeremy the groom bravely took it and drowned it down. Wah sehh... that's the way it should go mah. Once in a lifetime, how can don't get drunk?

Anyway he took 3 of those "potion mixture". Hahaha.
A typical "okok, last one" kept coming out of my mouth, but it realli never ends until his face told me, he's going to puke.

I let him off after that. He's my friend you know. How bad can i get?
Haha.

Congrats Bro. I look forward to hearing more of your stories in 2011 In Camp Training.

Happiest 45mins this week

Finally! It's officially over.

The rush, it's come to an end. Time now is 5.19pm on my computer and i open my arms, waiting to embrace the weekend.
The question in my mind now is, shall i do a 1hr massage or 1.5hr massage later. Woooo!

Hahah such a joyful question. The office feels extremely happy today.
Jocelyn went off at 5pm to go the airport for a plane to Hong Kong. Back only the following Monday, it's 10 days of fun fuN FUN!
She's so happy when she left office. Well i would be too, if i am her.

What a happy day for all of us.

Nissin Cup Noodles

日清杯面。

Surviving on cup noodles for the most of these 2 weeks was simply crazy.
Unlimited work, coming in at 9am and leaving at 1am.

Just to sleep and wake up to go to work.

But yes, all 3 proposals are done deal and ready to go. There's still a little to tidy up for the last one, but yes, it's a small issue. I feel so glad now. To do nothing.

I love the carefree feeling so much. I hope tomorrow will be a slow lazy day for me, which i plan after work to go for one bone cracking massage session followed by a spa session.

Woohoo!! The weekend is coming and i have so much in my mind to do.
First there's the Sentosa which i have to go, my friend, Jeremy's wedding, the travel agency to check out and hopefully book a package to somewhere for the year end getaway, polish my car which had been neglected, catch some sleep, go to the gym for some sweaty exercise and maybe, just maybe go swimming @ the new sengkang swimming pool again.

I really can't for for tomorrow to come.

Rich Neighbours

I'm usually not surprised that my neighbours around the 4 blocks, which shares a common open air carpark gets a new MPV or even a BMW (i have a few 7series here).

I even had a neighbour who changes sports car every year. But he moved away, my guess is that he went to stay in a landed property.

However, today i see 2 of my neighbours with the SJJ plate. Ohh new car again.

One's driving a BMW Z4 Roadster,
The other a Nissan GTR.

Wah seh. Really so rich ah? Leave such good cars to bake in the hot sun and let it face all elements that Mother Earth can throw at them.

I'd rather move to a property if i had the spare cash.
