CNY Celebration at Silra Home

The most awaiting event of the year for Silra Home - the CNY Celebration! 30 over volunteers came down to help out for the celebration and we just had 1 thing in common, to bring happiness and joy to all the residents in Silra Home. As early as 12noon, many volunteers had arrived at the home to do up the last min preparation work for the celebration such as the lo yu shen, deco for the stage backdrop, wheel of fortune and dolling CK up as the god of fortune. Kudos to CK to endure all the heat in that outfit!

The entire event was successful! We were all very tired, programs after programs, games after programs, but once we see those smiling faces from the old folks, all the body ache that we had were all gone. Once again, we were proud of ourselves for the job well done and we will do it even better for many years to come.

We had a good treat at Ba Long restauant after the event.

Jiangmen D&D 2008

We had our Jiangmen D&D right after that long operation meeting on Friday. We had most of our managers from Spore and Hong Kong attended the D&D and best part was the whole event was so well organized and I really think Jiangmen one is 10times better than what we had ours back in Dec07. The MCs and the games they designed were all in-house and that added the touch of belongings. I felt the warmth of being one of the members that evening.

Overall, the food was good eventho it was buffet style. As I was the photographer and I did not have much to eat anyway. The games were simple but yet enjoyable. No dance but lots of singing and our dear Herbert just had too much to drink and he was just not himself that night. ;-)

I had a dream

I had a dream a couple of nights back. I seldom dream and I always sleep like a pig. Thats what my aiai always tells me.

Anyway, I would want to share this weird but kinda funny dream with you. It was about my dear friend, Chewschews (see the man on the right).

The dream goes like this...
One of our common friends, XXX, was driving his Audi coupe. Chews was sitting at the front passenger seat and while I was at the back.We came to this very dark street where along the road side, parked with a line of cars. It was quite impossible for the size of his car to go through that narrow street and Chews told XXX that it was impossible. But being the show-off type, he said he could make it to the end of the street. By saying that, he rev his engine and off he goes. He went through the first few ones without any problem but somewhere in the middle, a loud scratching sound from both sides of his car could be heard. Indeed, he couldnt get it though. His car was stucked in the middle by 2 cars parked right side by side and he was sandwiched.He stepped on the gas and some tyre squcky sound could be heard, and finally, his car broke off the barrier and flew across to the next street. I look back and seeing those 2 cars were very badly damaged.

XXX happily drove off the sence and dropped us somewhere ahead. Both of us were shocked. In just a short while, 2 policemen came and handcuffed Chews and took him away. They left me untouched. Chews was been hold up by those big sized policemen and from far, and he looked so helpess. I was thinking, what the hell. It was XXX who did the stunt and our poor chewschews was so innocent. I stand there for motionless for a minute and decided to do the 'chews rescue'. I ran up to the guys, distance was far, and shouted, release him, release him but the image soon was gone in sight. I was sad, I cried. Then I woke up by my 7am alarm clock.

End of dream....

I told the story to Chews and he said I was drama worr... What the ***

My Goals for 2008

I had attended Wealth Academy by Adam Khoo in Nov07 and he inspired me by turning the passion I have into a multiple income stream. In the course, I learnt alot of stuff from him and I generate lots of business ideas. One of them was to create this Zaino idea which I had been doing for years.

You see, I had been doing Zaino (a product which we use for car waxing) for my own cars and even for my friends for free for a few years now. But never in my mind has the idea to generate income for it. After attending WA, I decided to give this a try (you never know if you dont try).


I started a workshop session in a premises which belongs to a friend, whom I met in the forum (networking is your net worth). By conducting the these workshop sessions (multiply the skills to many), I teach them how to do detailing and grooming for their cars (this is Singapore and we have tons of car lovers here). So, once they know the right way to DIY, they will buy the Zaino products from me (one-stop shop). But I do face many different type of customers, some of them are keen to learn and want to DIY, some of them just dont have the time and car detailing is just not their priorities in their lives and some of them are just a mix of both. So, I have to be flexible and cater to all these customers who approach me for solution.

I get a friend to help to do up a web site for me. I always believe Internet can do so much more. Infact of telling my customers one by one what I am doing, I can just point out the url and they will go and visit my site and read about what I can deliver.
So, here, I would proudly present you my humble website, http://www.zainodiy.com/ and with this, I have completed phase 1 of my goals in 2008.

What about phase 2 and 3?

Adam also told us, he believes to list down all his goals and let everyone know about his goals. With that, he is putting himself on the line to deliver these goals. So, I am going to tell all of my friends, including you, I am going to publish my very own (and first) Video DVD on How to Zaino DIY your car (I am putting myself on the line as well, right?). Again, I am catering to customers who will be so busy and they will not have the time to come down to attend my workshops. And also, I am targetting to many by publishing my DVD to the mass. Isnt it wonderful? That will be my phase 2 goal.

Finally, my phase 3 will be setting up a grooming car shop in JB. Why JB? Because we have many car grooming shops in Singapore but none (or rather, no professional ones as yet) in JB. You could possible find it lots more in KL but I gurantee you that we do not have any (base on my research) in the small city, JB. The penetration of this market to JB is still very favourable and currently, me and some partners are seriously looking towards this venture and hopefully, you will get a nice auto grooming shop in JB while you do your shopping here.

These are my goals but above all, I have one last one to add.
I will work hard to have our first child in 2008.

New Hotel Experience - New Sensation

Arriving at Jiangmen ferry terminal from HK was already 7.45pm. Plus filling up the immigration forms and the custom checks, I was out from the terminal around 8.14pm. Good thing my favourite driver, Mr Tang, was already waiting for me patiently outside the gate and waving at me with a friendly smile.


I got into his humble '82 VW Jetta (still in very well maintained condition) and took us another 15min to reach the hotel. Nomore Yucca this time. As part of my journey was to attain the Jiangmen D&D 08 and therefore I was put in the same hotel, Palace International, where the D&D would be held.


Stepping into its grand lobby was very much like the rest of the typical China hotel. Big, spaceous and marbel flooring from the door all the way to the check in counters. I had my room key and then got right up to my room at the 10th floor.


Some shots of the room:

and you cant imagine what kinda iron which they had sent to my room. Take a good look at the picture I took. Its an iron which we used in the 50/60s where the iron draws the water from a plastic container and delivered to the iron as steam. Good grief! Normally, I take just 2-3min to iron a shirt and last night, I took 15min at least for a shirt. Just 3 shirts already took me like 45min or so. Thank goodness... CHINA!

But one thing about the hotel, which I am sure my baby will definetely love it, its the 'wash-your-buttbutt' spraying system. Check this out!

4 nights in Jiangmen... its just the beginning....

Jacky Cheung World Tour Concert #93

Purchased the tickets (6) about 3-4 months ago when I first heard from Yes933 that the tickets will be launched over the internet booking via SISTEC. Then I got aiai, Alison, Viv and CY to join in the fun at the Indoor Stadium. It was the first time we ever watched Jacky's concert and it was awesome! Simply brilliant! He sang over 30 songs including a 30min stage play which Aiai liked it so much. He, indeed the 歌神!

Jade's full month party

Was invited to Jon's little daughter's full month party at his house, Grange Hill Court. Most of the admin team members were invited as well exclude for Blue whom he was away in Japan. JDredd & Marc were invited and Deck was late (as usual lah, partied till late and couldnt wake p in time) and thus not in the picture.

Our mini New Year Party

Tho it was nothing fancy about our new year party but its really the company that counts.

We all gathered in Chee Yong's unit at Tiong Bahru Court (high floor and huge floor area) where everything is just a few steps away (MRT, market, Tiong Bahru Plaza and hawker centre).

We had much food to spare in the afternoon where we had fishballs, po-pian, Tiong Bahru bao, fruit platters and the best of all, the fried mee hoon with curry chicken cooked by CY's mother.

After the heavy feast, we had 1 solid hr to play pictionary which had so much fun out of it. For "title", Alison drew a wedding couple. For "pulled muscles", Alison drew a man carried 2 small balls. Made us all laughed until stomach pain. Despite all these fun, we went across to TB Plaza to catch an evening movie - AVP2 (Aliens vs Predator II). Pretty decent but of coz, not as good as the original Alien(s) series.

After the movie, we all decided to have something to eat/drink which we started off with teh, then hopped over for la-mian (thanks to Aaron) and then ended up at the Mr Teh Taleh (thanks to Vivien). But the chitchatting was so good that we all enjoyed the company. Whole session ended around 12.30am and gezz.. I all forgot I got to work the next day.
