So Boring...
It have been boring these few weeks at work. Wow super sian and mood lor. Still want to enjoy leh. Still missed my chalet. Still missed all the fun. Haha...And indeed been rather busy as well. I go out almost every off days since June. And so many events going on dao need to plan in advance. If not don't think I can make it. So mood when go back to work again. Sian.
Work time so sian lor. No customer leh. Haiz...Ghost also don't have lor. But anyway this is the seventh month, have also cannot see. Have I also don't want to see. But Taka is really very quiet. Tourists also lesser le. Everyday will always say just another boring day.
Stand in cashier counter dao can fa mei lor. Wow sian lor. Heng got accessories staff chat with me. But I prefer to chat with Henry more. Because he very funny, always talk fei hua one. Haha. At least he still take care of me and he is not like his other staffs who is very xiao qi and keep grumbling and sabo people. Sometime really can't figure out what kind of person are them. Oh ya, remember I said I don't like their manager Aaron. And Henry is very funny, he record his manager handphone number in his handphone and named it as Ai Long. Short Dragon. Haha...And think he really too free le ba. Key all his contact in chinese. Haha...
Seem that we got a lot of nickname going around. For our manager Lawrence, they called him lor neng. The braised egg. Then for the brand Renoma, we called that brand Ni Lao Ma. Your mother. Haha...Very fun to talk to them. But pity I am always trap in cashier and I am different shift with Henry. I always kana partner with May and David because we are of same shift. Sian. I like to go out of my cage. Anyway most of the part time promoters already left for school le. So left Lin Feng still around. But not long he going to NS soon too le, think is next year. Sian leh. Cheyenne also back to school only come back for work on every Tue and Sat. Lesser promoters le. Guess have to wait till December because sales time sure their companies employ part timers to work.
Anyway received a super sian announcement from taka. Extend hours on every fri and sat again starting from this friday. Wow liao leh. No customers serve what. Open so late for what...For hao xiong di is it? Sian leh. Might as well change our opening hours from 10am to 10pm lah. Haiz...Usually extend hours till Chinese New Year and everything back to normal and we rest for 2 or 3 weeks March extend again for the what Spring Sale. Where got sale please lor. Gui dou mei you lor. No sales, no discount who will come. Lame. Then March extend all the way to May, stop 2 weeks and start again all the way to July for the Great Singapore Sale. August stop 2 weeks again and now started again all the way till Nov for the what Autumn sale. Oh my goodness. And nov sure stop 2 weeks and soon again for Christmas sales time and sure extend one lor.
Waste electricity and waste our time. Sian lor. All because of the stupid management and that new stupid big boss. Cut all our benefit. Usually if whole store hit target for 3 continuous months we will get $50 gift voucher. Now nothing. And usually they will have a Taka Day after the D&D. Last year don't have the Taka day so they give a replacement off and $50 cash. This year I think only give replacement off and don't think got $. Super stingy lor. Sian. Scarely this year end bonus cut dao don't know how much le. Haha...
Sian ah. Don't know how to pass my times leh. Day dreaming only. Hehe...

Board Games...
Oh ya, this is the link that Quan gave me.
Paradigm Infinitum - The website for the game shop in Orchard.
BoardGameGeek - The forum that you can find the board games reviews, information etc...
Games that I am interested:
Railroad Tycoon
Blue Moon City
Puerto Rico
Ticket to Ride - I think this is the one Quan had ordered and had arrived le.
Haha think we are all siao in board games liao le. But I don't think I will spend much $ on board games. Because I prefer to spend my $ on IT products. Haha..But will still buy a few board games. If everyone of us want to buy board games, try not to buy same game as one another. We buy different games and then can exchange to play. No point buy same game, firstly it is not cheap and secondly, will play sian a few times. Haha...Excited to visit the shop again. Though not buying it so fast lah. But at least can go there and see see and then aim for it lor.

Just Another Day At Quan's House
Actually today we intended to meet up at Quan's house for Mahjong. But then ended up we did not play. Haha...I agreed with ting, Quan must be very disappointed. So sorry boy, perhap next time ba. Anyway I know ping is not interested in mahjong. But jx is interested in mahjong. But when he arrived, we are about to leave for our dinner and then when we are back, we don't have enough time to play mahjong. Haha..I know jx want to play mahjong too. Too bad, timing is not right. We organised mahjong session again ba. In fact I also don't know how to play mahjong that well lah. Haha..Unlike Quan, he was such a expert and addicted in Mahjong liao le. ;p
I was late in meeting them. Why leh? Because I thought they will be late so I don't wanna reached so early, dilly dally at home a bit before leaving. Haha...I think we had this habit liao le. All auto late. But to my surprised Ting and Ping was on time leh. Ping is the nan de one lor. Because she always late. Haha...
They were having their lunch at the Loyang Point and I went over to meet them. Then later after their lunch. Ping and I order takeaway desserts and bought some portuguese tarts. Yummy Yummy. Went back to Quan's house and Ping and I settle down for our desserts. We started the board games rather late at about 3+pm think going to be 4pm soon le. And we arranged to meet up at 2pm leh. Haha...We are used to dilly dally. Slacking, taking our own sweet time. Quan and ting have been waiting for us to finish our desserts before we can start the games.
Wow, when I went into Quan's room, saw a lot of board games on his table. I bet he must have spent a lot on his board games leh. No wonder when I always asked him how much he bought each game, he say don't mention le. Ting will always say he very heartache when recalling how much he had spent his $$ buying so many games. But the games is fun leh. Hehe...We are all very interested leh. Ever since the first game he introduce Loco, I really went to buy it. And then ever since our chalet he brought 3 board games and dice set, Ping, Claire and I was interested in visiting the shop to take a look at the board games. Haha...
Played the Through the Desert game 2 rounds and we settle down for a movie "The Art Of Seduction". Well not very nice lor. Nothing special. Haha...Later Jx arrived and we started our game in Citadels, ping's favourite game. Haha...Then while waiting for Amelia to join us for dinner. In the end she did not join us. So we went for our dinner downstair and then back to Quan's house again. We play King's Blood. The cartoons is very cute. Like building family tree but a bit no meaning game lah. Haha...Later we started our dice game and drinking alcohol. We finally finished the Chivas which left over at the chalet.
Thanks Quan for the board games, he xi sheng his mahjong and play board games with us. Haha...And also the Chivas he bought. Well I forgot to mention, Ping always lose the dice game and keep drinking the alcohol and even got tipsy. Ai yo. Why always you lose. Next time must be clever, don't sit beside me. Haha...next time I must sit beside Quan, make him lose. Ying mou ah. ;p So in the end we left at about 10.45pm and Ping, Ting and I shared a cab back home. Though we did nothing much today, just slacking around but it is fun to have each other company. I think it been very long since the last time we went to Quan's house le. Because I always have timing problem. Okay lah, hope we will have another session again real soon next time.

Potiential Chalet....
Yesterday back to work, but only work half day and then go enjoy my NDP le. Oh I saw from ting's blog, she also went to NDP yesterday leh. Wow haha...She was in green sector which is opposite of me. Well, quite a few people that I knew also went there. This world is really very small. Haha...
Oh ya...Haha...Guess we are still missing the fun at the chalet. Today suddenly thought of the chalet. Wow, really missing it. Janice and I still missed it leh. Wonder who else is still missing the fun? Would want to open another one. Well, I msg ping and she replied me high five excited as well. And I asked Jx, to our surprised he is interested leh. He on liao le.
Wow getting excited liao le. Janice msg Claire, but then her reaction is not very good. She prefer genting to Chalet. Er...so I also don't know how. If Claire is not going, then Janice is not going. Well, maybe I will asked her to apply the chalet and maybe check in for us and join us for 1 day ba. Got to see how liao le.
Oh well, we intend to apply the chalet during oct weekend. So if we got it, good lor, we can go again. If not, then no go liao lor. And Nov will be helping ping to apply too. The 2 dates which Jx and Janice will apply. 13/10/2006 - 15/10/2006 and 27/10/2006 to 29/10/2006. See got luck or not liao lor. If don't have, think I will go genting liao. Haha...
By the way, jx mention that if we had chalet during oct, why not everyone of us cook something and bring there to share. Or if don't know how to cook or what lah, can don't bring but please give more $. You qian chu qian, you li chu li. Haha...I will try to cut down the budget again. We can cut down on food. Plates all these no need, since there got supply. We can wash the plates all those things and maybe wash with hot water. Anyway if 6 of us hor, each of us have to come up $45. And we can cut down on the electricity by not switching so many lights and air con ba. Anyway it is pretty windy lor. Just open all the windows...wow....cooling. Night then on air con.
Ok lah, will keep you guys updated. Got to see how liao le. Now still early to say. September then can apply for oct. Hopefully have lor. But weekend is difficult to get so I don't think we can pin much hope in it. But would wish to have. Also I also don't know who we will be calling or the usual people or what lor. Depend first ba.

Happy 41st Birthday Singapore!
Today is Singapore 41st Birthday. Hehe...Actually 我也不是那么爱国家啦,我可不象JX那么爱国。哈哈.
Anyway my brother took part in the NDP too. But he is not the performers, he is just on guard duty on one of the bus stop. So this give him a chance to draw tickets to NDP either to Preview or Actual day. And so heng, he got a pair of actual day tickets. Everybody was fighting to change with him. And he know I want to go so he told his friends cannot, my sisters want. Haha...好感动啊.
He told me pretty late and I had already submitted my request le and schedule already out le. So no choice, 为了去. I asked Jenny if she can change with me. And I will work morning and I will ask Jane if i can owe her hours and off work early. Heng she let me go off early. So I will off work 3.30pm and owe her 3 hours.
Then the day before NDP Preview, my brother called me again, asking me if I can don't go actual day and go preview instead. Well, I say cannot because I am working on Sat. Haha...Because his sergent want to exchange tickets with him. Well, too late le lor. You think I can change my off day so easily meh. Even if I can go on Sat, I also don't want to go preview. I have been going to Previews, this is my 1st time going to Actual Day leh. 难得 got hold of actual day tickets leh. 我怎么可能放弃哪. Haha...
When I got back to work today, Jane told me might as well take half day leave. Owe her hours still have to return so troublesome. Oh, since she said gave me, then I take le lor. Hehe...And I was so worry that I will be late for the NDP because I left work 3.30pm, changed and go down about 4+pm and I afraid it will be crowded. So lucky she give me half day. Actually I heard something from Belle that Jane is unhappy with my request and grumbled ba. Well, I pretended that I heard nothing lor.
So I work half day today. I met up with my Cousin at Taka Square. Actually wanted to ask Ping to go with me but my cousin really wanted to go, so I give the ticket to her. Sorry Ping, I break my promise. Bought a few clothes for my little cousin at the Baby Fair. It was very cheap. Haha...Then we bought some breads at Bread Talk. After that headed down to Kallang. Took the MRT, so many people wearing in Red and I know they must be going down to NDP as well. Then I recieved a call from Alice whose husband is at NDP told her the place open at 1.30pm and 4pm they start pre-activities. Hehe, and she called me to let me know. By the way, her husband is MP, which everyone dislike, as he will catch 逃兵. Haha...
When I reached Kallang, wow so many people leh. And all making their way to take Shuttle bus. Oh well, the traffic was very heavy, big traffic jam. Hehe...Shuttle bus also jam lah, such a long queue. So we decided to walk over instead lah. We just followed the crowds and those sign that showed us the way to the stadium. When we reached the stadium, it was crowded with people and there is quite a few pre-activities going on. Well, we only catch a gimpse and make our way into the stadium. Oh ya, I am holding Yellow Sector tickets which is the right hand side of the Red Sector where all the Ministers sat. And Alice told me it is a good place where I can watch everything clearly. Hehe...
We get seated down at 4pm. Looking into our goodies bag and repacking the goodies bag. Trying to get everything squeeue in. Haha...Oh ya, got a few muffins that they gave out for the public sponsor by Sunshine. Hehe...The muffins quite nice leh. My bag look like it going to blow up. When we got in, the stadium only 1/4 full. And slowly by 5.15pm, it was fully occupied. Soon the parade started. Everybody was so excited and yelling. Wow...mood really different from preview leh. Hehe...I was busy taking photos. But well, pity that my camera memory not enough, so I can't take many pictures and I saving it for taking video of the fireworks. Oh ya, I saw my secondary school band performance leh. Wow wow...Performed on NDP leh. I am proud of them though I left the school long time ago liao le. Haha...
The performance is very nice. And it had many fireworks shoot up at different timing. Cool sia. So fast and unexpected that I did not have time to record or take down. Haha...Really unlike previous year, usually they only put fireworks at the ending part. When the performance going to start, they count down and put fireworks. Very nice leh. The fireworks is shoot up quite low.
That is why those seat at the behind cannot be taken because fireworks is coming up from those side. And also those stupid ushers hor, they know behind seat can't be taken, they still let the people sit. They can always block them when they want to sit lor. Because the seating is go by block by block. Haiz. In the middle of the show, they distribute those people to the front. Lame right. So poor things, they are seperated with their friends and family lor. And that guy in charge, keep asking us to squeeue in so that those people can sit. Well, whose fault now ah. Ma jiam our fault leh. They did not do a good job lor. Wonder what ushers work is? Stand there and look only ah. Haha...Behind still have to take umbrella because fireworks is really low. I kana hit a bit. I am just a few rows away from those people who take umbrella. By the way, the umbrella is given by them by the officers.
Back to fireworks, it was really very nice. It is shoot up half of the stadium. Best man. First time see the fireworks shoot up this way. Usually only last part it shoot at 1 location, high up in the sky. This part still included in the parade. And I capture most of the main fireworks. Hehe...happy Happy. Though it is nicer to watch in live but it serve as a memory. Oh ya, this is the last time where the celebration is held at Kallang Stadium before it demolish and build a new one in the next few years. Wonder how it will be like leh. Haiz...有点舍不得. I was grown up with the stadium. Sob Sob...Farewell le. And hope the next one will be a better one.
It is really different when you watch in Ch 8. Haha...Ch 8 got reporters do the reporting for example, look to your left or right for the planes, announce this and that. While in live hor, nobody announce anything except the arrival of president. Haha...So my cousin and I do the annoucement ourselves. So funny. Do the talking. And this year the parade ended so early. A bit short leh. Hehe...Missed it leh. In the past, it usually ended at 9pm, now it ended at 8.10pm. Fireworks always shoot up before the parade ended and that is before 9pm. And heng I have been preparing my camera if not I sure missed it. Because this year it ended early.
After everything ended, the people are making their way out of the stadium and we were still seated down waiting for the crowd to go first. Haha...And we saw an army guy propose to her girlfriend leh. Wow so romantic leh. The screen show the photos of the couples and it flash the words, will you marry me. Hehe...Very touching leh. Of course the girl agreed. And his army friends throw the guy in the air a few times and put him down. Then they shouted kiss the girl. Wow haha...Later we make our way out, we took some chips which the people are distributing to clear stocks. Wow, my bag going to blow up le. Haha..
We were deciding if we should take shuttle bus or walk over. In the end, we decided to take shuttle bus. We took the wrong route and saw a few army guys on the floor resting, think they cannot tahan and have fainted. Oh ya, got 1 person fainted too on the parade where the Girl Guides, St.John that area. We walked back and came to the shuttle bus. Wow super long queue ah. We were thinking taking to marina bay is faster but in the end it delay the most because ECP got accidents. Oh no, 失策. Waited very long before we boarded the bus. And can you imagine that it was so jam that I fall asleep in the bus. Haha...And I reached home as usual when I work afternoon shift. So I say I ma jiam work full shift today. And I have been working full shift lah, full shift outside. Haha...And the queue is a bit haywired lor. A lot of people cut queue lor. Wow liao le, is a bunch of people cutting queue lor. Wow sian.
Hehe...And I saw a lot of handsome army guys. Well well, maybe to me is handsome, to you maybe not handsome ba. Anyway Handsome guy 没有我的份啦 ;p Okay lah, that is the end of my NDP Parade.
I wish Singapore Prosperous, Peace and Harmony.

Fireworks Festival
Oh well, today I just got home from our 3D2N chalet. I surf net a while and then go out meet Ping 2pm at City Hall and later went to Marina Square to meet Claire and Janice. They reached early to collect the tickets.
Later we went for our lunch at Pizza Hut. We tried the new chess pizza. Not very nice leh. I prefer the stuffed crust with sausages. Hehe...And then we went to watch movie 'Click' at 4pm GV Marina. It was very crowded. There are many students. And a group of JC students blocking the ladies door. Wow liao leh. JC liao leh, still no manner leh. Haiz...
The show is very funny. Haha...I remember the most is the dog because it is my favourite golden retriever but it is a 好色狗 leh. That dog like the duck so much. The duck is not real duck leh, it is a soft toy leh. And all the dogs just loved that duck. Haha...It was a nice and funny show. And it was very touching that I almost cried. The show do have some special meaning in it. Well, do appreciate what you have. Be contented. Indeed you gain some, and you will lose some. Nothing is perfect.
After the show ended, we make our way to ladies and then inside the ladies, we heard a bunch of people still talking about the movie. Haha...两个一起上. Wow hahaha...Cannot tahan man. Very funny.
Later Jx arrived and met up with us. And we were on our way to Suntec because Claire wanted to buy her coffee mixer. When we are at the Suntec, Janice went home first and the rest of us go Carrefour and went shop shop a while and settle down for dinner at Kopitiam. We queued for the Roti Prata for so long, more than half an hour and we finished it within 5 mins and rushed off to Marina Square again. Haha...Queuing time is longer than eating time.
We run over to Marina Square. When we reached the door facing esplanade, wow super crowded. The entrance that is nearest to City Link. And we tried to squeeze in. It is 2 mins before the fireworks start. And damn it, we stand at wrong position ah. Hahaha....The Marina Square middle building is blocking our views. Sian. We tried to move toward our right and finally catch some of it. And we take photos again lor. Damn it, I forgot to take out the photos that we take at chalet therefore memory not enough, cannot take video. Haiz...Heng Jx also got bring camera and took some video. Hehe...Wow, it was very nice. Though quite a lot being block by the building but at least still can see some lah.
I still remember last year we went together. We were so near to the fireworks and we even thought will the fireworks drop down on us. Haha...We just sat on the grass on esplanade field. Then later we went to Pasar Malam and then go back. So memorable.
Today is 2nd day of the fireworks festival and it is Singapore version. In fact, we wanted to go for Italy one on last sat but we did not went. So we came today. Never mind, I still can get to watch tomorrow at NDP. Haha...I working afternoon on Friday and Saturday so I can't go and see. Haiz. And I waiting to buy my backup battery and memory card. And I make sure I am fully prepared for next year fireworks festival again.
