Celebrations

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri to our Muslim friends.

A public holiday has finally arrived. Unfortunately, I was having gastric reflux yesterday. Hopefully I am fine today as I do not wish to waste a holiday lying in bed.

The King of Hades declared the Hungry Ghost Festival 'Opened' last evening with the followers praying and burning paper money as offering. I am sure there will be a big celebration at my workplace as well. Blessed are the wondering souls.

Travel

Not deterred

It does not sound good with all the fatal plane accidents in the recent days. Yes, three in a row within a week. Let us pray for more safe journeys/travels for all. But by all this we are not deterred and intend to travel more often. There are just too many places for us to visit before we grow old. Life goes on...

Celebrations await

A public holiday is near i.e. Hari Raya Puasa this coming Monday. At the same time, it's the hottest period of the year. Yes, I pray that there are no burning hot spots in Indonesia. Or else.... face mask on. The return of the Haze will cheese everyone off.

Besides the Hari Raya festival, it is also the Hungry Ghost Festival starting this Sunday. Are you afraid of the dark? The joke is everyone is afraid of brightness in Singapore especially when the utility bill arrives. So, darkness is not so scary after all.

Well, the city will be brighten up for the coming National Day celebration on 9 August 2014. Majulah Singapura!

The day Brazil weep

                                                                                     

It's Fifa World Cup 2014. What a shame! Brazil was thrashed by Germany 7-1 in the semi-final last night. I supported Germany from young but this time round I am on the Brazilian side as they are the host nation. Yeah, they were not good enough and lost to a better team. Let's see if they can recover in the 3rd/4th placing match.


My project team is getting bigger with another staff joining us probably this month. There are seven of us at the present moment. Still, I am worried that the management will make a lot of noise upon my applying of 2 weeks leave in October this year. Yeah, another Europe trip awaits. Hopefully everything will be smooth from now. Viva Espana and Alo Portugal!

I am back!

Hello everyone, I am back. So silly of me not making use of my handphone for blogging since my laptop is down. Wasted so many months.

Okay, everyone of us is doing fine. Me, my wife and children are holding on to a job and doing our best. We are all drained and tired after a hard day's work. For me and Margaret, the only form of relaxation is travelling. In fact, we just came back from Macau, Zhuhai and Zhongshan.

Expect more blogs in the coming days. Nice to be back.

Cheers!
