Happy Mother's Day

May your day be as special as you are.

On the way

It's on the way. Our Samsung 46" TV arrives tomorrow. Unfortunately, we had just found a suitable TV console ( to our liking ) at Courts Toa Payoh this evening. There's no way it can be delivered by tomorrow, so we arranged it to be on next Saturday. The good news is we pay $29.90 for the delivery which includes the disposing of my existing gigantic TV console. Gosh! What a  relief.  However, the new TV will temperory sits on my coffee table.  

Eastern part of the island

We joined in the Vesak celebration at Palelai Temple @ Bedok Simpang yesterday. The poor two resident monks were blessing the crowd without a break till I do not know when. We left the holy place at noon and had lunch at a Thai restaurant nearby. Surprisingly, Tom Yam Koong serves good, authentic Thai dishes.
Me and Margaret ordered tom yam soup, pandan leaf chicken, mango salad, pineapple rice and red ruby for dessert. The bill came up to about $30 without GST and service charge. It's resonable and value for money.
Since we were at the eastern part of Singapore, we proceeded to Changi City Point Shopping Centre and the Singapore Expo. Nice to be back, this time as a shopper at CCP. What a feeling! It's getting more beautiful and there were so many branded outlet stores. We couldn't believe our eyes when we passed by the BABY SPA. OMG! That's something new to us. Babies enjoying floating on those portable tubs of water. So cute.
After a comprehensive tour of CCP for Margaret, we marched to the S'pore Expo for the Harvey Norman Fair. To cut it short, we bought a Samsung  46" TV, 3 nos of standing fans and 2 nos of Nikon point and shoot cameras. The headache will come when we receive the credit card bill.

Happy Vesak 2012

       Sending you warm wishes on Vesak Day!

Old and new

The weekend is here again and it's gonna be a busy one. Gonna buy a new 46 inches television to replace the existing 12 years old malfunctioned 29 inches TV set. Not only that, I have to discard the 16 years old display TV New Zealand pine cabinet, It is still in very good condition but it don't blend in with my post modern layout in my living room. Anyone who is interested, please contact me.

 Next, my water closet (wc) in my kitchen toilet is not functioning well. Have to look out for a new one and get the plumber to replace it. Besides, we have to go down to Queenstown to visit Roger at noon tomorrow. And finally, our massage appointment at 6 pm prior to our dinner at Thomson. Phew! you can imagine....

3rd Prize

My new colleague's car plate number 2068 came out in the 3rd prize of the evening 4D draw. Last evening, he promised to give us a big treat should the number appear this evening. The beautiful thing is that I placed a $5 bet on it too. Mama mia!!! I believe it must be the combined blessing from LP Khoon and my late parents during this Qing Ming period.

I should receive $2 450 as advised by the prize calculator on this winning. My wife would share my joy with a $1 000 bonus from me. I am not a greedy person but my gut feeling tells me that there is more to come. The best is yet to be. Om.........

New project again?

When a company owes you 3 months of incentive / variable bonus, it is only logical to call it a day and move on. Guess that's the way to cut loss for the longer you stay, the more you tends to lose.  Here I am, after a week in a new company with an on-going project. Pray that it's smooth sailing no doubt the work is behind schedule for months. Aiyoh! so sway. (I mean unlucky lah.)
