Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year!!!

May the year of the OX brings you more joys and happiness!!! =)

2days ago i went to Bugis Junction to do my last min shopping and i managed to capture some nice photos of the Illuma Urban Entertainment Centre, a new shopping mall just next to Bugis. The facade of the building is very interesting. From my understanding from Woha Architect website, the building incorporates an interactive façade, where visitors can use mobile phone technology to send messages, images and graphics onto the building, an electronic version of the concrete and glass pixels of the Duxton Plains façade, and i able to see flower graphics and chinese new year wishes in mandrain characters. Wow...amazing!!!

Cool Bus

Recently i board a bus (no 80) and the interior design of the bus caught me by surprise, it is like a build-in bar inside the bus and the arrangement of the seats is totally different from a normal bus. Amazing!!!

I am not sure whether you have seen this before, but it is something new to me, however, i think the design has taken away more seating capacity and some might even find it difficult to stand beside the seat with the passengers, hence, I believe this is the only bus with such a design.

Maybe SBS can try one with wooden bench just like those buses in the 50s and 60s, so that this can let the new generation to try out how it feel to sit on the bus without cushion...haha!

Happy Birthday to Schuen.. =)

Today i went to celebrate my friend's daughter 1 year old birthday, her name is Schuen, and i find this little girl very cute. It have been almost a year since i last saw her when she was only 1 month old. Me and my friend brought a tricycle and a mini mouse softtoy for her birthday present. I also take this opportunity to meet up some old friends at his house, it is good to see all of them. Sometime it is really difficult for me to try meet up with them, with my busy work and my part-time studies, hence, whenever there is a such an occassion i will try to turn up.

Happy New Year !!!! 2009 !!!!

Hello ! Happy New Year !!! so fast this is the 9th year of the new millennium, still remember clearly when people were talking about Y2K and some outbreak of some kind of computer virus that could damage many systems, some even predict it was the end of the world..etc..haha. Well..8 years had gone by what have you achieved or done so far? I love to recall some fond memories of my life..well since this is the year 2009 let me try to recall what had happened to me in 1999, 1989 & 1979.

1999 - I was a 22 year old young man...but too old for national service and i haven't served during that age..haha. During that year I was still in my 2nd year Polytechnic course. In May/June 1999 i went for my 2nd attachment course to one of the lighting consultant company where i met 3 new friends from Temasek Poly and we have fun working together during those short duration. My time during my poly course look very short, probably because we always rush for submission that was why time passed by so fast. Oh! of course my beloved Manchester United completed the treble by winning the league title, FA Cup and the European Cup.

1989 - I was a 12 year old boy studied in the extended stream (6E2..I still rem) haiz..if not i will be taking my PSLE le...i was very playful, don't really want to study hard..almost everyday after school i went cycling or shopped at our neighbourhood shopping centre with my friends (last time don't have big shopping mall like Jurong point, Tampines mall or Lot One hor!) sometime we brought some tibits and sat under the void-deck stone chair and chat until late evening. Sometime we even went to catch some movies at Savoy cinema (now the building become a kopitiam liao..=( ), during those days each ticket only sold at $3.50 or $4.00...so cheap! that's why i could afford...haha! Actually many things happened during that year, we had our very 1st identity card and also kena by the infamous injection known as BCG (am i right?)..haha!!

1979 - I was only a 2 year old kid, err..can't really remember anything..the only thing i remember was i have a playmate and it was only when i am about 3-4 years old then i knew that the playmate was actually my own brother...haha!..so slow.

Well..just sharing some little history of my life...hope year 2009 will bring me more fun and joy...and hope you also have a wonderful year! =)

Cheers!!!

Final day of year 2008

Today is the last day of year 2008, have been quite a busy month for me ever since i came back from my exams leave.

We have a few projects rushing to catch the deadline for planter box/baywindow GFA exemption, my team leader has been chasing at us to get the submission in ASAP. Everyday has to listen to his nagging. One by one we managed to get the job done. =)

While busy for our work we also have sometime for our year end Christmas party at our Studio 2/3, this year our office wanted to bring more joy to the children from Child@street11 ,which is our office adopted charity, by giving them some Christmas presents. There a wishing list from the children and we can choose which gift we want to give. I choose to give a toy jet plane to a six year old boy. =)

This year our exam results seem to release quite early...haiz..i din do well at all.. i got all 3 B-, however, i am happy to see that my Cap points is improving bit by bit..but mathematically i have no chance of getting a 3rd class le...hope to finish off my final sem with better results next year. =)

Our company has announced that we will get our paycut in march 2009, hopefully that can help to sustain our company expenses for one whole year and hope that the economic can recover fast in later 2009.

I hereby wish everyone a wonderful year ahead and hope the days in 2009 is filled with things that mean the most to you!!!

Cheers!!

1st December.. =)

Wa! How can one month passed so fast...? I thought i last posted was 2 weeks ago..so fast december liao!
Okie..okie...three things i want to say...first of all, my exams is finally over, i took 3 papers this semester, all open book exam, which is good, don't need to memories. Secondly, is back to work tomorrow, after 2 weeks 'break' i really don't feel like going back to work, these 2 weeks although i didn't enjoy myself (cos studying) but at least i don't need to wake up so early and can sleep till i want to wake up..so good! Lastly, thanks goodness this month alot of holiday to look forward. =)

Many things to do.

OMG...2 months + din post anything liao...time flies too fast. I am too busy with my work, assignment and draft dissertation. Two weeks later even have a class test for one of my module, after that will soon be examinations. Stress...

I have been taking leave on every friday of October to try doing my dissertation, but most of the time found myself doing other projects which the deadline is so near, so until now my dissertation only done 30%..very jialat. Must quickly do liao.

Economic is bad now, we are in recession,heard my company is trying to cut down manpower by getting majority of the staffs to do a cad drawing test, your test will be assess by the softwear company (Bentley), pass or fail will be notify by your director, then you will know your fate liao. Scary? Haha.

I heard it all started from our IR project kena complained that the drawings are terrible and no standard, this has upset our CEO, hence, i believe he wanted to do such a test to eliminate those who can't draw properly, indirectly i think they are also trying to get rid of some staffs lah. To me a staff is good or not cannot be judge just by its speed of drawing, whether he is hardworking or not is also important. Since the problem came from the IR side why don't they just test those group of people?
