Roger is ready...

OMG! He is ready for Chinese New Year 2015. Yes, me and Margaret brought Roger out for his annual shopping this afternoon. First, we got him his long sleeves shirts and hankerchiefs at Mark & Spencer Paragon. After that, we strolled down to the new Robinson Heeren for his pair of shoes, pants and other personal wear. The trip ended with a Japanese dinner at Ngee Ann City. Needless to say, my second brother went home happily. He ain't heavy, he is my brother....
 

Festive season blues

The days are getting shorter. Maybe I am just too busy everyday that by the time I reach home, it's bed time. Yeah, this project demands a lot of my time and attention. Hopefully, the top management appreciates my utmost effort. Whatever, I desperately need a break every three months.


December 2014. Couldn't believe Christmas is around the corner again. A week after, its New Year 2015. Guess I can hardly celebrate for we are rushing our project. Luckily CNY 2015 is in February. At least there is a breather which allow us to do all the necessary things to welcome our Brother Goat.

Blogging again

My laptop has returned to its creator. We bought an IT tablet from Sitex Fair yesterday. And here I am, blogging again.

Well, just went to Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar last month. It was simply awesome. Love the culture, the arts and the history. Everything went of smoothly. The people were friendly and the place was safe. Yeah, not as scary as it portrays. 

Where to for next year? US California or Eastern Europe? Hmm... let's enjoy the coming festive season first. Will decide after Chinese New Year 2015. Cheers!

No, I am not selling mooncake but just snapped a photo of myself at my friend's stall. If only, I am a rich man by now. High profit margin.

Enough of buying

Shopping, shopping, shopping! Though I did not have much time for it, but I was lucky to be able to grab what I need. First, it's my pair of New Balance shoes. Being broad foot, I need a 2E width. Guess what? The pair I am wearing now is worn by US President Obama too. Painfully, I paid S$260 for it.

After recontracting my phone service with M1 for another 2 years, I replaced my Samsung S3 handphone with a Samsung S5. As I am on a lower service data plan, I have to fork out S$580 for the new handset. I trade in my S3 for S$200 and was given another S$50 off for loyalty. Gosh! I couldn't believe my ears when the cashier told me that I could offset a further of about S$200 rebate from my credit card. So, in total I paid less than half of S$580. Lucky me.

What else did I buy since last month? Yes, a pair of spectacles with progressive lens, an AJ working bag and AX wallet. Definitely a thousand over dollars on all these. The Great Singapore Sales and whatever sales are over for me. Time to work harder...

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...
