Awesome performance! She made international headlines for the past 1 week. I wonder what is installed for her next?

My Apple iPhone

2009-03-14T05:21:00.000-07:00

I got my 1st Apple product!! Yes, I got a iPhone 3G. Dropped my M1 line that I carried for the last 10 years. I have joined Singtel as the product was carried there. Neverthess, I paid $578 (after deducting $50 from the IT show) for a 16GB iPhone that is the most expensive one.

I struggled for much long time to find a replacement to my N95. It has been 2 years and i think its time for it to RIP. Unfortunately I can't find anyone that can beat the 5MB pixel camera which I find pretty handy. Since iPhone is the latest in-thing stuff and it boast lots of application in the phone. I made my mind to get my hands on it after discussing with Irene.

The price is reasonable, I would say cheaper than my N95 that I paid close to $1k then. But I need to subscribe a phone plan and includes a 500MB data plan at a cost of $39.00 per month. Its a few bucks above my M1 plan but the idea of surfing on-the-go, makes everything worthwhile. Lao Zhi You Qian!!! Muhahaha!!

My 1st DSLR - Canon 450D

2008-11-29T19:10:00.000-08:00

I bought for $1,150 at the AMK's "MS colour service" whereby market price was suppose to be $1,299. My very first SLR (single lens reflex) camera, I can bring it Kuching next month.

Pasir Ris's Theme Park

2008-11-29T18:57:00.000-08:00

Family outing at this Pasir Ris's Theme Park. Business pretty slow since economy downturn. Not much crowds, even the ferris's wheel is empty except for our family usage.

My 1st DSLR - Canon 450D

2008-11-27T22:10:00.000-08:00

An early Christmas present for myself!

I have always wanted to buy a SLR camera, but now I have a Digital-SLR camera! Yep, its Canon. "Can't help ", theme song for Canon, " Just want to play outside"

Punggol Crabs

2008-11-15T21:38:00.000-08:00

I brought my family to Punggol area's coffeshop where there was a 'cze char' stall that sells crab. Theirs are usually Sri Lanka crab (known to be fat) which not many neighbourhood stalls like to sell due to the price. This was introduced to me by Frankie when he brought me and Raymond to have our dinner while Raymond was waiting for his car to be groomed nearby.

I ordered two crabs, one in the soup base and the other in 'salty egg'. The outcome is everyonbe likes to latter than the soup which defy my original intention that was to introduce a place that sells crab soup other than AMK. Honestly I also prefer the salty egg one, the damage per crab is around $40+. Xiong man.

Gears of War 2

2008-11-08T22:23:00.000-08:00

"Gears of War 2" is the latest released from Xbox360. I bought the limited edition version which comes with an art book, bonus DVD with behind-the-scenes, steel box DVD cover and a code to unlock a golden lancer assault rifle. Damage = $79.90.

I am going to be very busy for the next few days........ its war time.

Cold Crab at Singapura restaurant

2008-10-11T23:28:00.000-07:00

I was craving for cold crab since returning back from NZ. I took the whole family, inclusive with Ping's family, to a restaurant called 'Singapura'(星洲冷气大酒店). It is located along Selegie road where I found in the web, boasting about its historical existence and for its well-known cold crabs.

We ordered 3 cold crabs, followed by another 2 more crabs, as Dad was pretty enjoying it. The meat was pretty juicy and I loved the meat that does not stick to the shells, makes peeling of the meat easier. But the best part is the 'crabs eggs' that lifts the flavour and also my cholestrol.

The next best food are the shrimp roll and the coffee roasted ribs, highly recommended for any food tasters. Overall the food experience was good and the ambience was pleasant. The scary part is the bill, total damage is abt $270 for 10 person meal. Burnt my pocket liao.

Our ROM and Wedding Dinner

2008-09-24T23:49:00.000-07:00

Today is the day that we had been looking forward to.

Picked up the DVD from our video-grapher before going down to pick up the wedding gowns. Next we proceeded to the hotel suite in Merchant Court.

Kelly Chan Lover's Concerto

2008-09-23T06:38:00.001-07:00

Finally found this song for our 1st march-in, it was really very last minute. Both of us were so stressed to finalize those little things and the time scheduling today. Going to breakdown very soon.

Chinese Customary Wedding

2008-09-14T22:52:00.000-07:00

Today is my Chinese wedding, which coincide with the 八月十五中秋节 in the Chinese calender. Hot date for most wedding couples. I woke up around 7am. I heard noises outside, guess my Mum was busy preparing some food. I forced myself to get up, and ran through the agenda for the day.

Around 8am, my brothers arrived, Sabby and wife, Xiao Hei and Xiao Wang. Mum cooked some noodles soup for all of us, so that our stomach will not be hungry later. I had no appetite to finish the food.

Last minute I couldn't find the flower that was suppose to be pin onto my jacket's pocket. I remembered placing it in the fridge the night before. I had to dump the flower idea, took the bouquet of flowers to set off for Irene's place at 8.30am. I drove my car, Sabby and Xiao Wang both drove their rides with Sabby's wife and Xiao Hei as their passenger.

When I reached Irene's place, I was greeted by my brother-in-law, Zhi Quan. He had to open my door for me to get down, as part of the traditional way called 'xiao jiu zhi kai men'. I earned a big ang pow when I opened the door for my brother-in-law many years back. Its pay back time.

Gate-crushing time! As usual, eaten some rubbish food stuff and played some stupid games before letting me in, but not before I passed them the Ang Pows. Lucky it was a short one as we were in need to meet the auspicious time.

After unveiling her veil, I picked her up to go back to my place. This round Xiao Hei offered to drive me so I agreed, felt a bit paiseh as I was not thick-skin to ask them to be my driver. When I reached home, we went straight to the room for the dumpling soup, offered by my sister. Its the traditional of 'yuan yuan man man' thing lah.

By then I was already drenched with sweat.

The day before my Chinese Wedding

2008-09-13T23:06:00.000-07:00

Did my car polishing in the morning, was a bit disappointed as it was raining. Luckily the rain stopped before I collect the ride, but the ground was still partially wet. Paid $128 for the polish plus internal cleaning, as I was too stressed to do my own cleaning.

Later in the day, I picked up Irene and drove to our Bridal Studio (J&M) which has closed down business and migrated their customer pool to another shop called 'Yvonne Creative'. Our make-up artist remain to be our contact person as to complete the whole package. But I could fell their unhapiness as they were treated like 3rd party in the new shop.

Other than my car, we do see many cars parked along the Tanjong Pagar road, waiting to be tied up with decoration. Seems like 14th Sept is really a hot date. We had to queue for 10 mins before my turn to park along the roadside for the decoration work to be done. Anyway it was only a 15mins job and we went to collect our suits and gowns for tomorrow before leaving home.

I spend the night doing the ang baos, got to pack according to the list given by Irene, major losses....

An Chuang 安床

2008-09-06T22:14:00.001-07:00

My beloved mattress arrived yesterday before the delivery of my chest of drawers. I really couldn't wait to rest on the bed, but this can only be done after the Chinese customary wedding.

Today, we had to do the traditional An Chuang, also known as Bridal bed, before the the actual wedding day. A propitious hour and a ‘good luck woman’ or ‘good luck man’, that is a man or women with many children and living mates, were selected to install a newly purchased bed. After the bed was in place, children were invited onto the bed as an omen of fertility. For the same reason, the bed was scattered with red dates, oranges, lotus seeds, peanuts, pomegranates and other fruits.

We invited my brother-in-law's sister's youngest child to be the one to scramble on our bed to signify "Tian Ding". We have my parents to help us with the bed arrangement whereby we laid the bed sheet, pillow cases and quilt cover onto the new mattress. After that, the kid starts to jump up and down, roll over the bed, before we placed the food stuff. My sister also instructed us to place many chopsticks into the spitton, to symbolize many offsprings. That is something new...

Heavy Rain

2008-09-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

It was pouring cats and dogs when I left the office at around 8pm. What shocked me was the scene of a collapsed pipe upon a vehicle, whereby water gushed down to its roof, when I entered the basement carpark at my place. I guess no one was hurt and the affected cars were not observed with any damage. The only question left was why the pipes were so fragile?

My Lovely Wife

2008-08-23T18:26:00.000-07:00

Finally we got our wedding album and that means we are very close to the wedding date. Counting down to the chinese customary on 14th Sept and the dinner on 22nd Sept. There is so much to do but so little time to do it, so stress.....

Xbox 360 - Wireless Networking Adaptor

2008-08-21T22:38:00.000-07:00

Just got hands on this wonderful gadget. Had to buy this to connect to my Xbox since my modem was in my Mum's room as she took over my old PC. I had stopped playing my xbox since moving in to the masterbed room, so this was really exciting as I can re-connect my Xbox on-line.

Chio Bu - 香月明美 Akemi

2008-08-20T08:25:00.000-07:00

I usually don't blog on chio bu but this girl really caught my attention when I was watching a Taiwanese entertainment channel. Her irresistible smile makes her so outstanding among all the celebrities. As usual most chio bu are mixed blood, so is she. She is half Brazilian and half Japanese and is around 21 years old model that hits the industry 2 years ago.

What a national disgrace, whereby our Miss Singapore Universe 2006 said the word "F**K" on national TV when she was reporting the Olympic news in the evening. Apparently she uttered the F word when the view was brought over to a competition and hang for few seconds.
