Pre Winter Trip Shopping Spree

Due to our upcoming winter trip to Finland & Germany, some of us went shopping at Suntec for some winter gears. We got our gloves, winter socks, thermal clothings and Deck got himself a new HD Sony Video cam. Yep, he will be our video man for this trip!

Audi Driving Experience

You wish you were there?
Me and a few buddies are planning our way to Finland/Germany for a great drive out and we will be drifting those brand new A4 B8 3.2Quattro. Now, are we talking?

Old Town Coffee

We checked out the first Old Town Cafe, East Coast Park, right after our regular weekend roller blade session that Saturday evening and we noticed that it was just recently opened and it was by Mark Lee (李国煌) which made us all very susprised! Our dear Viv even took a picture with him. The best part was, about 20 MediaCorp artists were gathered there for some party and we had a table just next to them and got all the glamorous view. Gezz.. only when I got my camera with me.

Anyway, Old Town Cafe watch out... our new cafe will win them hands down. heee...

Sentosa Flowers 2008

We were able to catch all the beautiful flowers at the Sentosa before the final day at the show. The show attracted thousands of tourists and locals to come and view different type of flowers at its very best, arr.. maybe not. Thats because having there at the last day, I would say quite a portion of the flowers were not at its peak maybe due to the weather we have here. Nevertheless, the one we attended 2yrs ago was much better, bigger. Doesnt matter actually, we were there for free! ;-)

What is your Vday plan?

To most people, they might need to celebrate (or should I say crack their heads to think) their Valentines Day and Birth dates on a seperate occasion! But for me, Aiai's Bday falls on 13th which make my life so so easy! 2 birdies with 1 stone! Ha!

Oppsss.. better dont let her know what I just said! ;-)

So, share with me what will be your Vday plan with your love one!
I got mine all planned out!

CNY at Kampong

This year was slightly special. Due to our absence (away at Bali), we had our CNY lunch instead at Kampong on the 4th day. We still managed to have lots of good food and tossing YuShen but we didnt bother to join them for the long winded socializing dinner and instead we had mee goreng & tao-fu goreng at Uncle Kim's restuarant.

Back from Bali

Yes, we are back! We had a wonderful time in Bali and everyone of us enjoyed so much.

Day1 - we reached Bali was almost like 8pm and after checked in to the rooms at Bali Dynasty Resort, was around 9pm. We put our belongings to the rooms and roamed around the area and finally we found a Greek restuarant and we had our supper there.

Day2 - After having our breakfast at the cafe, ow pa and ow ma went for the massage where else, me and aiai did some walking and had our ice cold root-beer at the A&W, Discovery Mall. Then we took a slow walk along the Kuta Beach and back to the hotel.

We had a half day tour to the Monkey Forest & the Rocky Temple. I really love the views at the Rocky Temple where you oversee the whole temples surrounded by the cliff and the beach. Too bad we had to rush for our dinner else we would have a good view for the sunset there.

Seafood dinner at the beach was great! We had grill fish, crap, prawns and sotong!

Day 3 - We took up another half day tour package at the Turtle Island where we had Banana boat (wow.. you should see how ow pa and ow ma rocked the boat), snorkeling and visit the animals at the Turtle Island.

After that, we even took a cab to the city for some shoppings. Yep, I got 5 polo shirts and that really made my day. Evening, we had our new year dinner at the Golden Lotus restuarant which was just in our own hotel and yes, the food was so good no wonder it was rated #1 chinese restuarant in Bali.

A family trip to Bali

When was the last time when the whole family had a group outing together? Seriously, I really cant remember. Most proberly 5-6yrs ago when we went to Melacca together with the whole entire family (2cars) and had a 4day stay there. But this time, we are all going to Bali, tomorrow. Exciting ah! Yeah, 9 of us, papa, mama, di & family, mei and both of us. I know its gonna be fun! Going for a trip like this really feel great!

Since I would be around in Singapore, I will just drop my note here on my blog, wishing all my love ones and my dear friends - a Happy Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Fatt Cai and may the rat bring greater prosperity!

Fengshui me, fengshui you.

For the past couple of days, both Aiai and myself were busy scouting for accessories for the fengshiu in our home. After that session with the fengshui master, whom we invited him over to check on our house, we got to enhance the fengshui (about 10 changes) that we need to do to make our house a better home. Some of dos:

- paint our living room gray (which it is kinda impossible at this time of the year where most of the workers will be taking long leave for CNY), but we managed to fill up the living room with lots of grey-colored accessories.

- covered up our glassed dining table

- get rid of our water feature

- place the string curtain at the glass panel

- put up the 'mirror' at our main door

- put the 'dragon root' at our position of fortune

- light up the corridor

- put the vase beside Aiai's bed

- etc...

Hope by doing all these, we will have a better year!

A pure Zaino weekend

What do I mean by a pure Zaino weekend? Imagine from 9 in the morning and doing nothing but just zainoing cars after cars till 5 in the evening. Sweaty & exhuasted by the end of the day but after seeing those smiles from my customers and telling me that my jobs are well done and they will come back for more really warm my heart and I do feel that satisfaction and archievement in my Zaino-ing.

Why am I doing all these? People may ask do I really short of all these money? Why not spend more time with Aiai rather than slaving myself in the basement carpark for the whole day polishing cars.

First of all, I must really admit I love waxing cars. The joy of a zainoed car is priceless! I am not short of money tho the family income is now solely loading on my shoulders but if I can make those extra bux from my spare time, why not? Besides CNY is coming, we need these for the 'Ang Bao' for our immediate families. So, these money does come handy. I am a big spender and for those who knows me, I am bad in managing my own wealth. Its a fortunate thing that my other half controls that very well. So, all the Zaino profits, I will all hand it 100% to my Aiai. She will save it in our common account and I am blessed to have her to help me managing our funds in that way. Else, you will see me down payment for that White R8 liao, haha! (Just kidding).

So, these are some of the cars I zaino over the weekend:

Sat Morning - Yen Tzi's Golf GT




Sat Afternoon - Florence's Suzuki Swift




Sun Morning - Andy's BMW 335

and Sun Afternoon - Hackzi's Lotus which he was waiting very impatiently for his car to finish and so I did not manage to snap a few pics of his beautiful car.
