Day -1

Finally it's a day before take off!

Heehee... Yet there's still a lot more things yet to be packed and lots more left to be brought.
It's kinda last minute. I usually like to pack up everything in advance.

I wonder why this time i am really leaving it till the last minute.
It's 16hours to take off! Yippie!

Being on leave today, i gladly send Mrs Neo to work, her last day of work in 2008.
(I did mine last Wednesday, heehee.)
Since my nephew was here, so i brought them all along to send Mrs Neo to work followed by a short outing on boxing day.

Some tell tale pics.



Siang Siang beside the runway. Well i didn't manage to take the big aeroplane in the background, but you can see some small ones. We did see 3 big ones taking off while we were there... Very big.. very close also. Heehee



Then we went to IKEA @ Tampines (The lady in red is my sister's domestic helper)
We had a little breakfast there which was relatively cheap.
Of course i did buy Mrs Neo a MacDonalds breakfast for takeaway before dropping her off at her office.

And he love the headlights.

Also love the crocodile and a lot of other stuffed toys.

Macau here i come!@

Heehee... 要出国玩咯！

VW

Pics from Volkswagen website

The Volkswagen Golf TSI (1.4), boasting of a 0-100km/hr in 9.4secs and being able to cough out the power of a 2.5 from it's engine seems enough to make any potential buyer fall over.
Not to mention it's over 13km/litre fuel consumption.

Such a tempting hatchback, although hatchback is not always on my list of to-buy.

But this wonder, bearing the proud VW badge does seems to promise a road full of them zipping around. The interior also looks superb. However, i personally feel, it can be done better with more wooden panels for more comfort and class.

Well, maybe they are going for extreme sporty look. Who knows?
And who cares, when it's that fast!?

But still, i personally prefers a SUV.

Counting Down

As usual, the usually happy me starts to count down to Holiday again.

It's 2 working days left and all holiday for me till end of the year.
Basically till 5th Jan 2009 before i even go back to work! WooHoO!

6 more days and i'll be in Macua at this moment. In a hotel which i presume and hope will be decent and comfortable.
7Days to HongKong DisneyLand where i target myself to take at least 1,000 pictures on the day itself.

Ohh i really cannot wait any longer.

Today we had had dinner over at the Airport and brought the kids around to take some pictures.
Heehee.. don't they all love the airport. It was all so well decorated with Christmas Trees and all sorts of candy houses. I love it as an adult, so it's not hard to imagine how the kids feel.

Their theme seems to be Disney Characters this year.
Think can win a trip to Tokyo Disneyland if you are lucky enough.


Woohooooo! It's Christmas Week!

The Legend

The Legendary Nikon (Model No.ML-L3) Remote Controller.

I believe it works on infra-red with the foriegn language "Infrarot-Fernbedienung" printed on the box as what i base on.
It cost me a mere $20 and is ready to run.
A simple switch of modes on the camera and it clicks at a press of the remote.

I would say these camera makers think of everything.

Now i can take picture of the disney castle with Mrs Neo & myself in the picture all by myself!

Trashing It

This is the 3th time the blue screen appeared after i start using this new laptop for (i think) a month.

I was not doing anything exceptional nor running alot of program at one time. First time it hang was like on the 3rd day.

Nothing is perfect la.

我忍！

6working days to my break!

A happy morning, packed full of vibe and energy.
But it ended in grudges and anger. I wonder how come she like to arrow me with all the shit jobs? So childish leh.

Doesn't mean she's in a bad mood, people have to entertain her what. Work is work, your life is your life. If you cannot seperate this two things, then don't come to work and sort out your life first. Don't come here and grumble, mumble and throw your weight around.

I seriously HATE ppl who mumble. Want to complaint about something? Then say it out. People cannot hear low frequency voices. So when one mumble, it just irritates the other parties eardrum. Like a housefly flying around. And it is also a very childish and disgusting method of expressing yourself.

But guess what? I don't care, cause you can do whatever your tiny brains feel like doing and i will not bother as i am going on my leave soon!

Nothing is going to change that fact and if you think you can spoilt my mood, that just because you are jealous of me and you know that you will be in for deep shit when you have to do all those things yourself.

HA! But i seriously don't care.

Too bad lor.

6days! Yes!

The Biggest Moon

Driving to pick up Mrs Neo this evening, i can't help but notice how big the moon is today.
By right, it's all a visual effect on the eye.

I saw a documentary about the moon on Discovery. The moon is as big as ever, ever though it might look bigger when it first appears and then smaller when it's halfway up in the sky. But that's simply because up in the sky, there's no buildings for our eyes to compare the size with. So if you were to use your the eraser at the end of a pencil, strectch out your hand and measure the moon using that when it first appear and when it's up in the sky.

It's the same size.

---

Well, that doesn't really matter to most of us, as long as the moon remains in the sky for most of our days. (But it's really moving away from Earth, again, won't happen in my time and the Sun will stop buring before the Moon, so really not a concern to me)

Picking up Mrs Neo & driving home, we talked about how big and bright the moon is as today's the 15th of the chinese lunar month. Then she got an Sms from Darren which she read to me.
I can't remember the full content of it, but i only remember "The biggest Moon".

Thus, here it is! The best 2shots.
i took 10shots, held my breath like mad due to the low lights and the shutter took damn long to close. A tripod will be handy, but i used the army way of breath in, breath out halfway, aim, shoot.

I was a marksman ok.

Messed up day

Big projects are good to have, but never easy to handle.
Today marks the day of this year's biggest project's kick off.

As expected, it's full of hiccups.
Even a simple delivery of material is full of heat.

Phone conversation with project manager.

Mr Neo: Hello "Irritating Guy", Can you help my guys sign the delivery order?
Irritating Guy: No, i will not sign.
Mr Neo: Why not? Your boss instruct that all must sign.

Singapore Zoological Garden

9am in the morning and we were at the Zoo on a bright sunny sunday morning. Long weekends are just great. I can't imagine myself at the Zoo if it's a regular weekend.

My sister had free tickets to the Zoo with compliment from her company and so we were there with her to bring our nephew to check out the kangaroos & giraffes (But we did't see any giraffes).

I guess the best things about Zoo other then the animals is the big open space and the variety of animal shows that try to educate childrens as they grow up.

And here's a picture of the infamous Snow White Tiger, is he the killer in the recent accident?

I love my new camera. :D

2nd Anniversary Belated Present, 2008 Xmas Early Present

Yesss!!

Finally i found a watch that i liked. I must say it's not really a belated anniversary present as i am really fussy and as much as we (Mrs Neo & myself) tried to get a watch, i was unable to shortlist anything.

My basic requirements as as simple as follows;
1) Analog round face
2) Chorograph would be a plus
3) Black rubber strap only

But we finally spotted one, with the help of a friendly sales person. I bet he didn't think i was serious about buying anything looking at my facial expression and the typical, can i see this piece please questions. But after shortlisting from i think 6pieces and standing in the shop for 1hour, he began slapping on discounts as he must have felt that he was close to closing a deal.

And he did.

"The box, with scratches."

" Hook is rather special, it's realli a typical clip on and not those with hooks and loops,
although it look like that"

" Black rubber strap, don't really like to have the brand there.
Looks like a fake. But shop says there's no way to change."


"The Black Chronograph Round Face"



谢谢你哦Darling!

$1 ?

I came across a brain flexer today.

Goes like this.

A, B & C went for dinner together and decided to go dutch.
The bill came and it was $25.

So each came out with $10 and paid the bill.
($10 x 3pax = $30).

The waiter came back with 5 x $1 as the change. ($30 - $25 = $5).

A,B & C each took back $1 and gave the waiter the $2 left for his superb service.

Therefore, A, B & C each gave $10 at first, but took back $1.
Thus $10 - $1 = $9.

A, B & C thus paid $9 each.
$9 x 3pax +$2(tip) = $29/-

Where is the missing dollar?
Amazing?

Yes, i have the answer!
