Back to JB

These are the Audi gang from JB. We have our first kopi session at Permas Jaya nasi lemak. Next, we convoy to our long lost ice kacang at the seaside and finally, we managed to find it beside the clock tower near the Grand Hyatt.

Botak Jones

Had been reading so much about it and this evening, we decided to give it a try. Took a long long way (thanks for our dear GPS) to Houggang and then back to AMK Ave 5 before we hit Blk608 to locate the damn makan place - Botak Jones.

When we reached, we were already starving like hell and still got to wait for another 30mins before our food can be served. No choice. We waited. Aiai's hot and spicy dog came first.

Crispy fries with lots of onions make the whole dish finger-licking good. I ordered the Canjun burger which only came much later. Will give it another try for other food there.

A Day with Jon(zilla)

The dude came over to have lunch with us at Rosewood Restaurant. Japanese fried rice with miso soup. After our lunch, we zaino our rides together at the carpark. He was impressed with how fantastic Zaino can do on his Phantam Black A4. He was sold and he will be signing up a membership package with Groomworks. Gezz... Yong should pay me comm mann!

After our zaino session, we went to Lower Pierce @ Upper Thomson Road for some photoshoot. The sky was overcast and there was really nothing much we can shoot.

Below is one which I like very much.

Some shopping at G2000

Its time to get some new shirts and pants for my new job next Monday. Spent a total of $250 to buy 4 business shirts and a pants at G2000, Raffles City. Thanks to Aiai. Its my birthday present, part 2? Heee... Next, my working shoes.... lets save this to Friday shopping spress, shall we?



Next, we meet up with the helpers (brothers & sisters) for RiMei and Edmun wedding this coming 13th Oct. Long discussion and its the 2nd meeting and yet, it ended at 10.15pm. Wanted to buy some mooncakes but guess all shops could have closed by then. Cant wait to be their photographer coz it will be my first time using DSLR for a wedding shot event. Hee..

New Tyres, New Rims

Finally after 2 years of rubbing.. I drove my car to South East to get my tyres all changed to Goodyear Eagle F1.
After hearing so much good reviews and feedback about the F1 users, think its the best tyre for the bucks. Got my mtm rims changed to Titanium in color too. Goes very well with my Altas Grey, very bengish, but I like!

Me and Jon then went to Canon, HarbourFront to get our both 30D serviced there. Spent $21 to get them to clean our sensors which we both found dust particles on our pictures. I also managed to get a free 1G CF card and a Canon camera bag which I got it redeemed from my warranty card. Not bad!

Panning shots for the Vags

Done a couple of panning shots for the Avant & the GTi at Rifle Range Road. Lovely place for winding and still shots. 

Mooncake Festival at Silra Home

What's more meaningful than spending your mooncake festival with the needy? Yes, we had lots of activities such as games, performance, yummy food and mooncakes at the Silra Home this afternoon. And for the first time, we took the elderly out for a stroll nearby with the lanterns in the evening.

New volunteers like Michelle and a group of Chinese students came down to help out and make the day more merry. They were helpful and brought many joys to the old folks. Three cheers to them!

BBQ at Sandra's Condo

What a great BBQ at Sandra's place this evening. Almost all the old IT gang plus a couple of guys like Kertrina and Raja were all invited to the BBQ. Even Dorothy came along too. Hearing those guys' stories about travelling to India, China and Philippines really made us all laugh like hell.

Had a great catch up session with the folks and we target to have the next one during Xmas time. Thanks to both Sand and Clara for organizing.

Good Bye Sumitomo Bakelite!

The final countdown - 22 Sept 06 will mark my farewell to Sumitomo Bakelite which I had been working for more than 6yrs. The experience I had made me a stronger man to accept new challenges in my next career.

These are the people which made me feel so hard to part with the company. But I am sure this will not end our friendship, it's a new beginning.

To all my lovely colleagues in SBS, I wish you all the best in SBS and many happiness, joy and wealth to be with you.

Jason went for facial? you sure bo?

This is the ultimate! Had never never done this in my 35th of my entired life and yes, I was 'invited' by my aiai to do a full facial treatment to my 'pimple plantation' at Bliss Beauty, right at the basement of Grand Hotel.
How can I say no right? Its my present for my 35th birthday from my aiai. Thanks baby! *muak*

My face now? smooth like silk! haha.. tho I had 1 solid hour of pain and tears. Its all worth it.

Back to reality!

After 2 weeks of Sydney and Melbourne tour, I am finally back in Spore. How time flies when you really enjoy.

Syendy wasnt so bad, minus off the bad weather. It was chillingly cold even in the daytime. The rain really spoilt all travelling plan. But still, we managed to get to see The Rocks, Opera House, Darling Habour, Pitt Mall and the Sunday market at the rocks.



Melbourne, on the other hand, the weather was perfectly good for travelling. The temperature ranged from 8C to 20C and no showers at all. So, make my photography trip really worthwhile. I met up with Owen & family and Vincent & family. Really appreciated their hospitality and their host. Went back to my Caufield campus just like walking thou the memory lane, the city central itself, the Federation Square & Docklands (which were something new in melb) and of coz, the great old Chinatown which I had my pho 3 times during this trip! Yeah!

and now.. I am down with fever and cough! Oh boy... too much milk shake?!

G'day Mate !

Here I come, Australia !
Will be taking off tonight at the Changi airport this midnight and be back 17Sept, 12 days of fun, fun, fun in the Ozland.

Cant wait to eat the Pho, the meat pie, the cheeries and best of all, the oz icecream !!!!
And you bet I am going to take as many photo as I can!

The itch is ONZ!

Damn! This is HOT! This kit allows our B6 to convert into B7 grill and yet keeping all the original parts intact! I dig the wheels too. So stylo milo!
Jeff, Wei Meng and Anthony, what you guys waiting for ?
Comments on this kit?

Children Cancer Foundation 06

For many years, EVC (Euro Van Club) has been the appointed volunteer car club to help CCF to run the charity drive and also, me being the admin for VAGSG, had been supporting them through all these years. These guys had put in so much effort to put the whole event to its success and I really give my respect to these folks! Well done, EVC!

But at the Kallang carpark, I was carried away by these hot racing babes which I couldnt help myself from taking a few shots at them! They are HOT !

David & Annie's baby 1st month

Was invited for a joy sharing celebration for both David & Annie's 1month at their Seng Kang house. I couldnt get close to the new born baby gal was she was rather a hot item for that moment, instead, this little kid was our highlight. :-)

RSAF Open House 06

3 of us (together with our dear kuku) went for the RSAF Open House that hot saturday afternoon. The heat was not way to stop Aaron to line up for 30min just to take a ride in this AH64D Apeche Choper. We could have just catch the 5pm air show but too bad, we got to run to meet Alison and frens for roller blading.

Audi Accelerated Workshop

For the very first time, PA is inviting all their customers (including VW GTi) to their Audi Accelerated Workshop (ran in the AM and PM session) at their customer service center, Ubi.
These workshop highlighted mTm tunning and Conti tyres. Much of the VAGsg members attended the workshop. Food, goody packs, games and prizes made the event so much more fun.
