What's Happening?

Couldn't sleep once again

Posted on 7/15/2008 03:35:00 AM No Comments

Not early, thats what I can say. I should be sleeping! Seems like its once again messed up. I mean my biological clock. 3:36am! That should be most people sleeping time yah? I screwed it up when I came back from mahjong and slept! Now, its wide open! Regardless I will try to shut them soon! Darn!! Or maybe there are simply too much crowding in my mind now? Could be could be? But what?? Darn... I am not sure! I just feel so heavy lately!! Darn! (again) Need to be at office in another 4 hours or so! Back to work! I simply do not have the energy to think about work!! Weekends just ended!! That feeling really sucks!! Time to move on!! Time to move on!! But what? I need a good 'Lobang' to be even thinking about that! Its like that huh? Once you feel tired about what you do, you should think of a change! Think NOT now!! I've got Kendice and Zach to support!! Ouch!

I've got some really cool shots of Zach with the 'Super Hero' mask with him posing a smile for me! Taken it just now when SKYPE with Sun-Chye and Ka-Leng. Ain't he simply adorable?? He's in Bao's embrace and sleeping soundly now. ;) And its time for me to join him in this sleep! (If I managed to though)

Night!!

Victory!

Won $320 at Ching's place today! :) Cool! Been awhile since I last feel some victory!! hehe. Could had been more if not for the last round throwing 2 x 4 fold away! Still this $320 will definitely come in handy! MORE to come! Singapore Pool played me out for now! So I guess its the small money for now!

Ka-Leng coming online now! We wanna see and talk to her! We miss her so much! Bao and me was talking about how much we miss her company when she was with us in Singapore.

Quick call us on SKYPE!!

And here they are! LIVE with both the siblings now! :) Miss em alot!

OUCH!! Not again!!!

Sadness!! It had happened once again! Close but so far!! Just 1 digit different! And its bye bye to thousands of dollars!! Arrghhhh. Why does this shit always happen to me? This Alfa number had ran way too many top prize!! Way too many to even count!! Freaking pissed!! Darn!! 9518!!!! WASTED once again!

This money could had come in so handy!! Darn!! Poolz Connect did not help much after all. Sigh. Looks like its gonna be another long term disappointment. The bad gets all the good, the good get all the bad. I am believing this once again. Darn!! Darn!!!

Whole family is outside now, I think at Bugis, not able to join em as I was in No. 5, I miss Zach already. Wonder how is he doing? If I strike the 3rd prize today, man!! I am gonna get Zach a new pram! Just too bad!! :(

Not working tomorrow, gonna take my off. Rest home, sleep more and rethink about life! Life Life Life, whats life all about? At the way it is... It seems like we are all working for $$. Of course!! But there should be more to it huh? I wish...

Oh... I shook the President's hand today.

I placed bets using PoolzConnect for the first time!

Applied the Singapore Pools Betting account. Got the member card and the pin yesterday. And I just placed a bet! TOTO and 4D, both quickpick. hehe. Singapore Pools really smart to start this betting account, no different from private! Only private is illegal! They made it legal! With this account I could skip the queues! But additional $0.20 applies though! Its the same when we used NETS to pay. If I do win, its a direct credit to my bank account! Lets hope I see my pathetic balance all of a sudden SHOOT UP?? SHOW ME THE MONEY! heh. It wouldn't hurt to get richer! ;) Singapore Pools, I support this initiative by you! Pls support me as well!! haha crazy morning for me once again.

Later I will be going to meet the President of Singapore... Feeling about it? Don't know! This is a annual thing organised. I am just one of the few who got selected. Shall not talk much about it! :) Cheers, Mr President!

Still early, I should run some errands.

Video Conferencing to Ka-Leng and Sun-Chye now LIVE

Posted on 7/13/2008 01:20:00 AM No Comments

LIVE. Skype on now! :) Look at her blur blur face! I think she is totally a stoner!! Don't you think so? hahaha

I fell in love today

Posted on 7/12/2008 03:05:00 PM No Comments

I saw her while I was driving, she look so elegant from a distance away, and when I went closer... I was like, I need to have her! But just the brand she wears, I know I can never afford to have her. It would be a far fetch desire. Unless....I don't know. I got to know more of her when I check her out on the internet. She is very much famous. I got to know her details from the internet and the price to own her!

Thats her. The BMW 1 series. There are a few models, but the one I am so interested is the 5 door hatch. The details from SG CarMart.

Current price	$116,800
		Instalment	$1,126/mth
		Depreciation	$10,060 /year
		COE quota premium	$15,501
		Road tax	$1,206
		OMV	$32,400
		Total basic cost	$89,600
		Premium	30%
		Previous recorded price	$116,800
		Highest recorded price	$116,800 (past 6 mths)
		Lowest recorded price	$116,800 (past 6 mths)

How can I ever afford it now that I have my Alfa 147. Its impossible in the long run. Totally impressed with the look and all. The price actually do not really seems that expensive for a BMW. My Alfa is listed as $108,000 on the SG CarMart price list. If I had know about this car. I will certainly wanna get it then. For now, I can only dream.

Back Home once again

Posted on 7/12/2008 10:21:00 AM No Comments

Another long day yesterday back at work, duty of course. But time really passes fast, its over and I am back home. Tomorrow night I will be going Istana to meet His Excellency. Some experience indeed. Lets see how tomorrow! I am face with some issue at work now... and its a really tough call I have to make. Hate this kinda situation but...What can I do? Sigh. Sometimes the things that we have to decide will cost some to dislike you or even hate you to the core. Guess after I make these decisions, things will not be nice.

Ahhhhh, now that I am home! Lets enjoy the company of my computer! Since Kendice and Zach are still soundly asleep as shown in this picture below!

I photoshopped the picture quite abit to give it the dreamy feeling though. Its been a long long time since I really work on PS. Probably already lost all touches. Thats why the product of this! ;) Just look at how Sister is holding his little brother's hands in a deep sleep. So cool aye? I miss both of them so much when I could not go home. Thankfully with the 3G video call, I am able to see em! But they couldn't see me. (E51 non-camera).

Bao had went to help Mum at the stall, so I will be home looking after Baby Zach. Not gonna be easy! He will definitely call for Mummy once he wakes up! Thats my nightmare! Just cannot pacify him this easily! Only Mummy can do it. Failure on my part , Daddy! hahaha.

Think I will go catch some sleep before he wakes!!

Woke up at 4am

Posted on 7/11/2008 04:39:00 AM No Comments

Slept early yesterday. Waking up at 4:00am now. Lately I just don't know why, I am simply so tired. Falling asleep while driving is so common. It could simply be my ageing! I am old!! Focusing seems to be hard these days. Man man man, what's happening!! Maybe its money stress at this age? Gotta provide but can't stretch no more. Ok what am I saying? Things I am not even sure myself. Right... Its the time of the day. Errr time of the wee morning?

Ka-Leng had already gone back to Vietnam. We missed her alot already. I came back home and picked them up and sent them to the airport yesterday due to the IPPT being cancelled thus I could make it back and picked her. Sad to see her leave us. Think its easily another 2 years or more before we get to see her in person again. Sad. Its so weird when you are just getting used to something, and now that its no longer around. You tend to feel funny. In this instance, its Ka-Leng, though a short stay with us from 01st July to 10th July. She sorta became part of us. Bao cried as usual at the airport yesterday after Ka-Leng went inside. :)

Ka-Leng, we miss you!

Singapore Flyers

Posted on 7/10/2008 01:43:00 AM No Comments

Called in to secure 4 places for the Singapore Flyers for 8:00pm ride. Actually I don't even think we need to even call in. There are definitely room for walk in customers. Anyway we were lucky. We got the entire Capsule all to ourselves. The timing when we boarded the ride was perfect with no one! So we enjoyed the privacy of the capsule all to ourselves :) The night view of Singapore is nice. So much lights... The last time I went was during the day time, that was during the company anniversary. So its different for me. But for the rest of then I am sure it was an eye opener!

Imagine booking the entire capsule would probably cost about $1,000? Not sure, I think that its about that price region. Maybe more rounds? Whatever it is, we were very fortunate that no one joined us! Talked as loud as we want, run about as much as we want! Haha. Bao was very

much seated through out the ride (35 minutes) as she is really afraid of height! I think the height of the flyer is 165 meters. Here's a shot she took with Ka-Leng. Too bad its the night can't catch the background scenery with them. I could use low shutter to take the night view but they would have to be so still for a couple of seconds, which was impossible!

Look at Zach! Same thing, asked him to smile, and he did that cheeky smile. And snapped! :) So cute! So fun! I bet he enjoyed that night high view.

More picture to show that we had this entire capsule to ourselves! Also Kendice is in this picture with her eyes opened and flash on! She will only be able to have her eyes open when I snapped with flash only when she is caught unaware! I simply can't take a good shot of her with flash. Sigh The next picture explain itself. haha

What can I do?? So there is always less of Kendice in pictures, she was not like this last time! Yawns... Check out that smile from Zach! Man! I just need to bite his cheeks!

ECP from the top with low shutter but higher F stops. Not the best of combination, But I do not have a tripod. It was a tough shot ok! hah.. Notice the massive construction? Thats the upcoming Marina Casino and Resort. 2010 I think will be the completion date. Looking forward to that. Not the gambling place but the amenities! (Really?? )

This is a nice shot, to me at least. Exposure was good. The blue lighted area is the floating platform. And of course the back is CBD. Nice night city skyline showing its glory.

Gald I brought Ka-Leng for this ride just before she returns to Vietnam tomorrow. At least she managed to experience this. I guess she will only be coming back to Singapore in another 2-3 years time when she is 18 or older. She is right now chatting with Bao on the bed. Think she wanna maximum her last few hours in Singapore. Too bad, I gotta take IPPT, I can't send her to airport in the morning. After IPPT I will rush down though.

Okay... I shall go rest very soon!

Right

Good Morning

Posted on 7/09/2008 07:05:00 AM No Comments

Woke up early today came online. Woke Kendice up. She's very responsive today, just a tap and she was up! She was very spontaneous today, getting herself ready without me having to rush her. She just left the house, did not sent her today as well as I will be heading to my company HQ for meeting directly. So will be at Office abit later today.

Sad to know that Ka-Leng will be going back tomorrow noon. Don't think I am able to send them to the airport as I am having IPPT in the morning. Probably I will rush down to see her off at the airport after that. Sad moments. Thinking of sending love ones! Hate it! Today Bao is probably gonna bring her shop till they drop since it is the last day. I will try to secure the Singapore Flyer for her today since I still have the tickets. hopefully last minute booking can be done.

Ahhhh Kendice just called me!! Her MRT card value is empty! She is coming up to take money from me to top up! She will be late already! Opps!!

Zach just bumped the Kitchen Door!!

Posted on 7/08/2008 11:41:00 PM No Comments

OUCH!! That's so painful! Heard a loud thud sound and Zach was on the floor crying out loud. Somehow he walked straight head on, and right into the Kitchen sliding door. A bump at the side of his head. :( Blue black straight away. Cried and cried obviously. Poor little guy. He is simply so hazardous!! How can he ever be still and quiet? Now he is saying funny things I don't understand outside. Think he is fine already. haha. But my heart hurts so much!

Although it was a bad knock, He was still easily teased to laughter! I asked him to give me a smile for this shot, and there... That cheeky smile. Just glad that he is fine now. Bao is trying to put him to bed now.

Hancock (The movie)

Actually we just returned from the movie, caught a 9pm show. Was a very last minute decision. Since Ka-Leng is returning back to Vietnam soon. Okay all of us went for the show except Zach! We got Uncle to look after him for that 2 hours. It was a good show for those who are thinking to catch it. Kendice love it. Immediately once back she went to bed, tomorrow school!! Yawns... Time kinda pass really fast the last week or so. Next thing we know, our dear little Ka-Leng is going back!! Think she is probably gonna miss the shopping and the fun, not forgetting the desserts here! Her company in this house sure brought lotsa live to us. :) We are gonna miss her so much. Think Bao will cry when she leave. Haha.. She always cry sending close ones off at the airport. (who doesn't?)

Stocks took another plunge today. Sigh. Losing another couple of hundred today. Sigh. For no Dow is up. Lets hope it will remain and boost Singapore Market up tomorrow. Its really sad to even think about the crappy market! Darn!!

Zach's crying again....

I just want more gadgets!

Posted on 7/08/2008 07:31:00 AM No Comments

If there are more money, there is always the 'IF' factor in life! For now... if I could had the if!! I would get so much gadgets, I would want to set up a room purely just for the gadgets! Come on the gadgets deserves a room! Of course, the kids first!! Unless there is a spare room! What am I talking? No way to have a spare room!! Okay I am going on the basis of 'IF'. Nonsense in the morning once again. haha

Re-arranging the phones for a different shot! ;) Ka-Leng was asking why would I need so many mobiles?? Seriously, most of it are contracted! Courtesy from friends! Cool friends I have huh? I want to get Apple TV! ;) Darn! If not cuz of the stock market, think I could had entertained my thirst for more gadgets!! Nahhh.... If so I could had save more for Kendice & Zach 's account! Darn! (Dow was RED again anyway... couldn't care more already)

One can never get enough of this little devil...Gotta head off to work soon! Yawns... Tuesday's blue!!

Check the phones I have now!!

Posted on 7/08/2008 02:08:00 AM No Comments

Check out my collection of Mobile Phones!! :) And I wanna add more if I can! But it'll be stupid huh? Giving a few away here!

Crazy huh? There are 11 phones right now! 2 sets of identical ones! Just got the Samsung F480 for my wife on Sunday, brought it home and showed to to Mum and she instantly fell in love with it! What to do? We gave it to her. So today I surprised Bao and got her another!! She was like " Ahhhhhhhhh" hehe. So all in all there are 11 phones now!! hehe. Infact there should be more if not for Kendice losing 2 of them! Wahaha. I am a gadget man!! I love gadgets!! I want more!!!!

Its late!! 2:11am! I better get some rest!!

Malaysia Trip on 05-07-08

Posted on 7/07/2008 01:16:00 AM comments (2)

This was taken today. What a pose! Totally cool...I rate this 5 stars shot! Of course the subject, not the skill. Lost all camera technique sometime back. ;) Anyway our trip to Malaysia yesterday (05/07 )was rather good. We set off at about 5:30am from our place to my company and left for Malaysia in the 'cool' bus at about 7am! (some of the guys were really late)

What ever happened to Kendice?? She simply can't get her eyes to open up whenever there is flash! Taking pictures for her is a PAIN!! :( hehe

We occupied the lower deck of the bus! This bus is a double deck one. Basically the lower deck is like VIP suite. Total limousine style! COOL! We had the entire lower deck to ourselves! :) Basically it was sleeping whenever the bus moved! hehe. Just look the this picture where Bao is sleeping with her funny mouth! hehe. In the midst of the morning rush, we sorta lost Zach's crocs scandals! What to do? We managed to get one make shift slipper for him but he simply refused to wear it! hahaha

So it was a wasted money spent! Oh well... its only RM3.90 I think? We bought a shoes at the end of the day at the JUSCO mall though. :)

Looking Good here! Ka-Leng and Baby Zach taking a snap on the bus. She was on a single contact lens through the entire trip. She lost one side in the morning! Noticed her right red eye! She's so fun to be with on this trip. We had lotsa laughter on the bus. All of us of course!

She is happily playing with my iPhone! Acting cute as usual! hehe ;) She's a BIG BONE girl for her age! She''s not even 16! Think she will only be come August??

Taken outside one of Malaysia's Bird Nest factory. High High Up in the Sky! Zach's taking all the attention! He was enjoying that! He wanted it again and again! But he ain't light. Thats for sure!!!

We had DURIANS for lunch! Thats the theme of the trip anyway. Basically it was a durian buffet! Eat all you want! There were good and bad durians! Zach was still recovering from his ulcers thus he did not eat much. But he's so much better now! Thank God!

The last stop was at JUSCO GIANT. Simple shopping, but the fun for the kids were at the arcade. Zach played bowling! The kids version! From this shot, you can clearly tell its a gutter spin ! ;) Kendice had her fun as well. Ahhhh she is still very much like a 5 year old when she sees arcade!

To reiterate my point... Look at this picture! She had her eyes shut upon the flash came on for this shot, even when she is playing! There is no way I could take a neat shot of her. Sigh!! Think this was also a gutter roll! Weak! She is better at Nintendo Wii bowling! She beat me on that!! ;) hahaha

Kendice and Zach having a show down! Who is tougher after all? :) It was fun! They were both enjoying it! Zach was so serious! He was like so into the game! I was laughing so hard when I see him trying to hit the plug!

Just look at those concentration going on in his eyes! ;) Fun huh boy?

YES I SCORED!!! :) That was what really happened! He got in a goal and he went like YEAH with both hands up ! So cute!

It was about there! What a trip!!

Preparing for a Single Day Malaysia Trip

Posted on 7/05/2008 04:55:00 AM No Comments

Zach's recovered really well! :) Its 5am now. We're preparing to leave for my office. Heading for a single day Malaysia trip organized by my company. Think the itineraries are quite interesting. Be quite a good eye opener for Ka-Leng and Kendice. Will be visiting some factories I think? Following by durians eating. Think Zach will not be able to take that. Too heaty for him. Bao is preparing now.

Check this new Super Hero out! ;) Its actually Kendice's swimming cap! hahah... Zach's really cool huh? Need to draw some eyes on this picture! hehe. I am just glad that he had recovered so much! His ulcers on his tongue had reduced so much! Cool man! Thank God!! :) But he still cry here and there due to the pain at times.

Had mahjong yesterday.... Think my mahjong luck is really on the down side lately. Been losing and losing. Lost $240 to Ching that day and yesterday lost $78. Oh no, not good at all. Sigh. Simply can't make the finish!! Darn. And my stocks... NOT GOOD! :( Man Man Man !!! Think I will take a break from this stupid market once I can. Now still stucked with 3 OLAM. But losing just abit. Oh well... I shall monitor it!! Dow did not open due to a holiday yesterday.

Will load some pictures after today's trip later!

Got Royce for Zach but he did not want it

Posted on 7/03/2008 11:23:00 PM No Comments

He love it alot, always asking for more. So I bought 2 boxes just now at Takashimaya. Gave him some and he took it..and cried. He was in pain. After which he did not want it no more.

(picture not from me)

Sigh. He's feeling too much pain to enjoy any food! Only water works for him now. Poor little Zach. On the brighter side, he seems alot more happier today. Active too. Some consolation after all. This coming Saturday had planned to bring all of them to Malaysia for company trip. Paid $180 already, but looking at Zach now. I am unsure if he can or we should make this trip. I shall monitor for now.

Today I sold my SPC at a lost of $96! Bought it at $6.86 sold it at $6.87! Lost the admin! After I sold it. Guess what? Yep! It happened again! It hit all the way up to $6.98!! Some arse luck once again! The OLAM I bought at $2.44 now stand at $2.29! Darn!! Seems all so bad on Stocks again! Dow is currently up at +93. Lets hope the last day of the week will see some growth.

Here's a picture just taken right infront of iSight. Seems like Yakult is something he will really enjoy at this painful period. He is always asking for more :)

Zach is crying... Sigh. He is in pain again. Sad man.

Kristine bought the Little Mermaid bed sheet for Kendice today. She is totally going crazy! She is simply crazy over Ariel. She is so happy. Kendice really one kind! When Bao is not around she was so obedient and so matured in thinking, doing alot of things herself without me asking her to. But when Bao is back, she goes back to her old self. Sigh. With Bao around I guess she simply has the BO CHAP attitude! haha.

Zach is very much in pain...

Posted on 7/03/2008 01:27:00 AM comments (2)

Sigh.. When will he recover? Yes its only 1.5 days after KK but the level of pain I am seeing him endure is simply just too much for me to take. For Bao to take as well. Darn...I just can't take it anymore!! Its 1:30am now. Just 15 minutes ago he woke up crying in pain. Sigh. Had to pacify him to sleep all the time. How can I go to work tomorrow knowing that he will be in pain and I am not by his side? Arghhhh. Everyone who saw the picture insisted that Zach had got that Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. But doctor said its not. The symptoms are totally similar! Only that typically of HFMD, there will be spots on his palms and feet especially in between fingers and toes. Zach so far has none of that. He does has some red big patches on his arms. We will have to closely monitor him for now. Sigh. I am totally so worried and sad.

Sigh

Staying Home with Zach

Posted on 7/02/2008 10:54:00 AM No Comments

I am staying home with Zach. He is still not doing that good, considering his pain he has to endure. Sigh... This small age but having going through all these pain!! This picture tells everything. The pain this little body has to go through now. When will these ulcers clear?!

Full of pain...I managed to get him to open his mouth and show me his tongue to take these few pictures. Zach, sorry Daddy and Mummy had to put you through this pain. Sigh. he is also running a fever now. Just fed him his medication. Sigh. Simply cannot bear to see him in pain, especially when he is crying away. He is drooling non stop. Ahhhhh.... What cause this!!?? Darn this stupid bacteria!!!

Hope all will be good

Posted on 7/02/2008 02:04:00 AM No Comments

Zach is not crying like just now. Probably the antibiotics are working well? Or the cream is giving the numb feeling to his tongue? Whatever it is. I hope it will last. He is still running a mid high fever, just fed him Bifen. The stronger medication for fever. Sigh I hope all will be fine and help him. It really pains me so much. I really pray that he can sleep through the night without waking up crying in pain. Ahhhh... its worst then anything out there for the parents. God heal him please??

Give me a hug? Thats what he wants? Haha.., actually he wants me to remove that gloves! Bao put it on for him! Notice his saliva, he had been drooling so badly all these while, due to his ulcers. Guess its pain for him to even swallow his own saliva. Poor little boy!!

Ka-Leng came here this to enjoy a 10 days holiday. But if Zach does not recover fast soon. Guess we will not be able to bring her to many places. But I planned to bring all of them to Malaysia this coming Saturday, following company to durian plantation. Hope that Zach will be fine by then. Sigh. Zach Zach, it just pains me so much to see you in this state!!!

Check this picture.... ;) The ladies are working on a project? Hah..Nah. Anyway Kendice was so happy to see her Mummy and Brother and of course Ka-Leng. She had been really obedient the last week. Keep it up Kendice!

Haha making a fun face out of Ka-Leng! ;)

Zach, please be fine! God pls watch him!! Thanks??

Bao and Zach are back, together with Ka-Leng

Posted on 7/01/2008 05:14:00 PM No Comments

Picked them up at Airport at about 11:30pm. And headed immediately to KK Hospital. Sigh. Zach is in great pain. His entire tongue has ulcers all over. His lips also has some. But his tongue... Its simply so bad. Bao did not tell me it was this bad. Went to A&E worried it is some form of that hand foot and mouth disease. He had a fever running as well. He did a blood check as well. Doctor told us it is some form of bacteria infection. A bad one. Thus he is putting Zach on a week of antibiotics. I hope it will help him. Sigh. Its really a painful sight to see Zach this way. He is in pain constantly! He kept crying. I tried to put him to sleep just now but he kept waking up every other minute crying. I guess his ulcers are just too pain. Right now... he is crying also. Just heard his cries. Sigh. Now Bao is trying to put him to sleep. Sigh...Zach is suffering so badly. If only I could transfer all his pain to me. Even double or triple it. I would. He's my son.

Sigh...
