Xmas + 2

Happy Boxing Day! Um, ok, a bit late. :p It's the 3rd day of x'mas already. Went out to town on day two, and man, everyone is out shopping post christmas... Well, we're just a coupla days away from the last breath of 2009.

Looking forward to my '3 french hens!'

Merry X'mas 2009!

It's here again, in the blink of an eye! A year sure passes by quickly... :) Here's wishing all a blessed and peaceful Christmas!

1 more day!

Ah, It's just around the corner, can you feel it? I prefer christmas to Chinese New Year.. CNY is always so tiring somehow. :P Growing older i guess! Last day of work for me for the year today... man, most everyone in the office was on leave anyway. Well, coupla things to do tomorrow; it's wifey's birthday too! :) Happy Birthday Dar! :D

Just tried the demo for Bayonetta earlier.. most awesome! I love the, ahem, 'climax' moves. :P So aptly named! :p

The weather outside is frightful...

... and so is the shopping crowd! Seems like every M/F/S is out in town shopping, or at least, window shopping. There weren't that many people actually buying gifts, or maybe it's just me? :p

Weathers been dreadful too, think everyone i know has had flu the past coupla days. Tis the season to be flu-ey! GP was nice enough to tell me ' i don't think it is H1N1', thanks doc! :

Well, it's that time of year again, i guess one that i actually look forward to. It's scary how time seems to fly. Each year i tell my buddy 'it'll be christmas soon', and in the blink on an eye, here it is again!

What do i like about christmas? It has this 'feeling', this smell, that is different from all other holidays. I guess it's that one time in the year i can give myself a break, spend some time with my family, and also to reflect on things before the new year rolls in a week later! :D

Mission : Impossible

Here i am in the Bintan IT office on a saturday morning! Was sent here cos the IT guy here is going back to Jakarta for Hari raya celebrations. Was here in the afternoon yesterday, and will be here till Monday afternoon... woootz!

I'm being put up in the small house near the BT lobby, it's called the "GM's house", but don't let the name fool you! It's nothing as glamourous as the other villas, or even those at Angsana. But the basics are all there... at least there's cable, but no internet... (booooooo!)

Well, wifey will be joining me this afternoon, so won't be TOO boring already! :p

Home Sweet Home!

Ah, back after 3 days in Phuket, was there for a SAP workshop, which turned out quite... enjoyable. :) It was raining quite often there though! :p

Touched down this afternoon at T2, man, is it hot in Singapore or what? Thais are polite ppl, unlike chao Sillyporean with bad atitude and no civic mindedness whatsoever... there is calming effect to Thailand's 'undevelopedness'... perhaps sillypore has gone beyond the point of return... the old man knows that.

Back to topic, the workshop was held over 3 days, of which a few of us were not involved in the first day... so... shopping! Went to canal village.. which was pretty quiet. After the workshop on the 2nd day, a group of us went to Patong to shop at Jungceylon. It's not a crazy crowded place like ION in town, there was SPACE to move about without knocking into some 'New Citizen'.. yay!

Anyway, there's this cool airsoft shop i want to go back to, called 'Megaforce'. Basically you can rent airsoft rifles of all types for a certain duration, 300 baht nets you a semi M4 CQB for 20mins, 500 for 40mins and it's a full auto version... too cool. :)

Well, i DO miss my bed, and things here that are precious to me. Perhaps another trip there again one day! ;)

Home Sweet Home!

Decided to take a break from work, a well deserved rest for my wife and myself! Off we went for 3 days to BanyanTree Bintan... nice place! Pace is slow.. relaxing.. the location was nice too. :) Great view of the ocean. Must remind myself to take more holidays.. life's not all about work! ;)

Shoryuken!

Ok, i suck at SF4, so dun challenge me k? :p There's a certain depth to 2D fighters; and i'll always be amazed at how ppl throw out the moves so easily! :D

Was on leave today, so had lunch out with my wifey. Weekend was spent at a preview of the circle line... yes, rode the train from Serangoon to Bartley, then to Marymount and back to serangoon... It'll be good when it opens this week, at least it'll be easier to go back home from Bishan! :)

Caught Wolverine over the weekend, so-so show, the effects are nothing we've not seen before. Pacing was ok, but man, was gambit gay! And the bone claw thing... always found the idea cheesy... :p Well, it's gonna be a short week, office is closed this Friday for "Eat (with) your family day"... ;)
