Jiangmen D&D 2008
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
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
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....

Whitford Xmas Lunch
This year, we had so much food and wine but yet, nothing stopped me from taking pictures with my colleagues.
Everybody had something from their partners to buy a gift (min $15) but my partner just forgot about it and I did not get any present this year (sob sob sob).
Anyway, we all had a great time!

Its an Audi Day
To celebrate over 70 years of Audi's innovations in motorsports, The whole nation witnessed Audi's 3 historic racing cars in action as they sweep through Orchard Road. The AutoUnion TypeC Grand Prix, Rally Quattro® A2 and the Audi R8 Le Mans flaged off at the Marriott Hotel at 10am. In a spectacular display of men and machines, these historic cars proceed in a convoy down Orchard Road making a pit stop at Raffles City.These 3 cars will be followed by Audi's new supercar, the Audi R8.
At both locations, motorsports fans and enthusiasts came up close with these cars and meet with international rally drivers. The AutoUnion SilverArrow dominated motor racing in 1936 with over 10 GrandPrix victories. Audi quattros® won numerous races until they were banned due to superior quattro® technology over other cars. And the Audi R8 LeMans Prototype made headlines with the famed FSI technology.

The Audi R8 Launch
A magnificent night for the Audi Singapore, the distributor - Premimum Automobiles, and their VIPs at the National Museum. A totally unique concept of launching a new car - table-seated dinner (served in either fish or beef), free flow of red and white wine (too bad, Jon. Aint no beer for ya) and lengends of the Audi Motorsports, the Silver Arrors accompany with the Le Mans R10. Of coz, the limelight of the night is our super star, the new R8 pricing at $485,000.
Thanks to PA for inviting the Admin team of Vagsg to witness and share this special launching event of the R8. It was indeed a enjoyable evening. Audi, you done it again !!!
Oh.. did I tell you my next new shopping list? :-)

As a result of their previous conditions, many of them suffer some forms of physical deformities. Currently, there are about 62 residents in the home of age 60 years and above. SILRA Home is in need of regular donation from the public to support the elderly in their medical care, daily neccessities and the maintenance of the home.

Dinner at the Bottle Tree Park (Yishun)
Mike treated us a good feast at the restaurant for his first prize in his 4D winning. The food was good but slightly pricey as compare to other zi-cha places.
Lots of parking space and the park was big. Great venue for a mega GTG or a foodie GTG for the Vagsg folks. ;-)
