What's Happening?

Once again!! My car number missed by a digit!! It opened 9516!! It simply wouldn't open 9518!! I am starting to really hate this car!! Or rather the number!! $2,500 gone!!! SHIT! Its always so close!! I've come close way too many times, and I must say, the feeling sure suxs! hehe. When will it open!!?? I mean 9518!! I have been driving this car for 2 years coming March. And its always near miss!! Ahhhhhhhh. Pain Pain!!!

As for Chinese New Year... Its a recession for many! The value of the "Ang Pao" dropped so much! On the average, my relatives only gave $4!! Thats rather .... errr. Oh well nevermind! I gave $10 for Father's side and $6 on Mother's side.  Maybe I gave too much!!  Then again... Maybe one's generosity pays??  The answer is " NO!" haha... I lost mahjong like nobody's business! Wait what I am talking? Of course my losses on mahjong concerns no one! So its certainly no one's business!! I am crazy... Lost too much I must reckon. Keep losing and losing, from winning $600 and at the 4th round I lost $280 on Friday! And I just played at Liyan's place and I lost $36! Regardless big or small ... I will lose!! Ha Ha Ha!! (Laughing myself!!) Bottom line... How is this CNY? Its down down down on my fortune!!

Well at least this CNY, there are happy moments captured on digital! Pictures of course! And here they are!!

Nice huh? Bao Bao and Kendice posing nicely here! Finally I managed to capture this little Princess with her eyes opened wide!! Bao looks pretty huh? This CNY she certainly dressed up much younger!! Think the way she ties her hair made the different! Keep it Up!

More shots showing the time of the CNY. :) Pretty ladies!!

I like this one alot! Pair or oranges in her hands and smiling lightly into the lens. Cool! Hopefully she'll be able to take more of "Eyes Open" shots in time!

And here's a shot with Zach! It was really hard to ask him to look at the lens! Bao had a hard time!! But managed to snap this one. That naughty look!! But at least he did not show that usual cheeky smile!! 

Here's a shot of my wife and myself, we've not been taking pictures together for quite awhile due to the fact that I am always behind the lens. This was taken on self timer though. ;) Nice? ( I think I got the lucky look on my face, that explains the losses on mahjong 8 loses and 2 wins)

Lost mahjong on 2 days. About $200. And today's 4D another pain. Bought 1912 but 2nd prize opened 1812!!! Thats $15,000 miss. What a way to start new year!! I rather it came nothing near. Its so painful. This number was placed when I saw the movie "Seven Pounds" it was one of the house number in the movie. Haizzzz almost turned a fluke moment into wonder. 

Screenshot taken from the movie "Seven Pounds" Ahhh actually it look abit like 1812 huh? Guess my crap luck just didn't pay afterall. Arghhhhh !!! Sad!!!! All was a hope gone wrong! Not just that, starters opened 6751 and 0951 and I bought my usual 0751. Ran 3 sets in a single day. So moody now. Very very sad. If only I strike today, it would be a wonderful start... Really really sad!!! Missed so many times. 4D seems so impossible to strike! Arrrghhhh...

Tomorrow would be the 1st day of the Chinese New Year. Let's hope for great things to happen. 

Sad...

Yawnssss

Just gave him his medication and put him on the Nebulizer machine for about 10 mins. Today its so simple! He simply lied on the sofa with the mask on and obediently lay there quiet for the entire process! :) 

Did not go work today, brought Zach back to Singapore Baby & Child Clinic as his cough hasn't improve after taking a week of medication. Doctor Vella explained to me the reasons, can't really understand the medical explanation! All I know Zach's still not well. So he wants Zach to use the Nebulizer machine for 3 days and then back to him for a review. Thus Friday I will have to bring Zach back to the clinic. Today the bill amounted up to $180! Previously it was $153! PD is really expensive. Hope Zach can get well soon!! 

This is the machine and breathing apparatus that Zach has to use for 3 times a days for 3 days. Kinda funny when the nurse first taught me how to use. I mean funny as in Zach's reaction! hah. Anyway Zach is probably one of the few kids around who seems to love to take his medication! haha so funny!! :)

Anyway I just returned from cycling from Mount Fabar, did 3 laps normal and 1 steep climb. Well today I must say I was much faster but!! I vomited!! Cuz before riding I ate quite alot of "Zhu Chang Fen". Bao made them. And immediately I left for the ride!! Darn feeling so uncomfortable now!! hehe. Greedy!! haha. Nevertheless it was a good ride today! Feel much fitter! :)

Back to work tomorrow... Yawns!

Met up with family for dinner, together with Sister and Brother. Brother managed to join us after his Doctor gave him permission to leave the hospital for awhile. Anyway we ate at Coca steamboat. My treat but Sister wanted to pay half.  Total bill - $371! Scary! Oh well, once awhile I guess that's fine. Anyway it was for Kendice's celebration. She is turning 12 soon! How time passes!! I tried taking so many shots for her but almost 99% of it, she close her eyes!! This one is the best!! Haizzzz, can really get pissed taking picture for her!! The cake cost $71, it was pre-ordered few days back. Kendice love the cake! Its the High School Musical 3 cake!  (still have a big portion in the refrigerator). 

Still gotta get Kendice a present! :) The actual date of her birthday is on the 22nd Jan anyway! ;) 

Anyway Brother is buying a Condominium at Woodlands. He wanted his back loan to be approve, so he needed to have as much money in his bank account for the bank loan to be approved easier, Guess what? I transfered $10,000 to him but got the wrong account number!! Bonkers! Now the money is missing over the wires! I supposed that account I sent wrongly is an invalid account. Lets hope the money will be bounce back soon! Gotta pay for STOCKS!! Darn! Unlucky...so Unlucky. 

I'm so tired ... started mahjong at 11:45am and only returned back home at 7:00am. I better be sleeping now. Tomorrow gotta celebrate Kendice's 12th Birthday over dinner with family. Bought her a High School Muscial Birthday Cake :) Bet she'll love it when she sees it later tonight!! will load some pictures up later!!

Brought him to see the Doctor this morning at 9:30am. Missed work, applied a day of child sick leave. Zach's been having the on and off cough and a running nose for I think close to a month! Visited different GP but the sickness just wouldn't go away! So I decided to bring him to a Pediatric at Ang Mo Kio, Singapore Babay and Child Clinic. Gonna feed him his medication soon. Hopefully he'll recover soon. Pains us to see him coughing and coughing and when he cough hard, he tends to vomit. Infact he's running a 37.2˚C fever now. Darn! The Doctor who attended to Zach was an Indian male Doctor, he told us Zach is very sensitive to anything. Thus a simple bite would be bad enough for him. He told us not to let him eat anymore sweets, cold drinks and avoid some fruits. Jiat liat! Oops! 

Ahhhh.. hope Zach recover fast! Roarrrr....

As the title says it. Its been a week of intense Play Station 3 week for me! Been so hooked up to the games I got recently! Especially the Grand Theft Auto IV! Wow what a game! Storyline goes by a guy name Niko who came to US looking for his cousin to strive in this promise land, turns out all the dark side he has to go through, killing people in the city, basically running a gangster's life! hah.. Its fun! But I am on cheat mode! hehe. Got 2 more racing games yesterday! Midnight Club LA and Burnout Paradise! Yet to be opened!! Darn! Too many games for now and no time to play! Too hook on GTA IV to change! But I gotta put my racing skills to test soon! Maybe later?? After updating here? heh.

Brought the Kids to watch the fireworks at Esplanade yesterday. Blasting fireworks! Lasted about 5 mins! We waited from 10:30pm! Waited till 12am for the fireworks! Kendice, usual, complaint about the wait but she enjoyed it! As for Zach when the boom boom got too loud, he covered his ears and said " PA PA" (scare). So cute! Too bad no camera! 

Zach is in the room! He supposed to be sleeping! haha, he's giggling away!!  Better put him to bed now!! He gotta wake up early!!

Taking a family shot at the entrance of Singapore Jurong Bird Park. Too bad the cameraman which was me couldn't be in the shot! Well I will always be away from sight when taking pictures! 

We started our Jurong Bird Park tour beginning with the Penguin showcase. And with that Zach now knows what is a Penguin, and he is able to remember it even at the end of the day! Kids really learn fast! 

Below is a naughty picture of Zach in his pram. How cute he is huh? This naughty look he always show us. One moment he wants to be seated in his pram the next he will self slip out from the front! haha really funny.

Gonna bring the kids to Jurong Birdpark. Zach never been there before. He's been to the Zoo like 2-3 times? But not the birdpark. Mum's coming also :) Probably leaving at about 2pm or so. Zach's gonna be really fascinated surely. He's always saying "Bird Bird" whenever he sees one. Gonna be fun! Will be snapping away!

Anyway I was supposed to join Brother to go for the "Longhouse" ride today but I only got back home like 3am last night. Though I did wake up at 6am to get ready for the ride. Brother smsed me saying he probably will not go as he slept late. So end up I went riding at Mount Faber myself. Only did 3 laps or is it 2?? Darn when one is shagged he can't remember!! Anyway it was a faster pace as compared to the last mount faber ride. Brother is FAST! hah. Think he will surely go back competitive soon. No way for me. Only to keep fit! :) Anyway I am really getting used to the bike! Love it!! Surely worth the spending! Thanks to Singapore Pools! :)

Fortune luck's all slipping away!! Yeah, kinda pissed with my mahjong luck! I lost way way way too much! Lost $260 on Friday and lost $240 on Saturday. Thats $500 in 2 days!! Haizzzz. Mum was telling me when you are lucky with the Pools (4D), you could be giving away in another way, for now, its mahjong. My favorite game but making me all stressed up! Thats about $2,500 in losses on mahjong!! Really scary. Ahhhhh. Sad!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh.... Hope the Pools will give me another boost today!!! Okay!! Gonna prepare for the Birdpark!!!! Lets enjoy ourselves!!

Yeah Yeah! It was not a cool ride on Christmas Day! haha Well the ride was okay starting but soon I could not follow up. Well thats normal, I mean its 10 years!! And straight away putting me back into such ride groups! Thats like impossible! But still I get to see the standard I had been missing out all these years. It was fun surely, I enjoy riding again, but I have a long way to go before I at least keep with the pace! That means more training! But again, I've already told myself, its only leisure and keeping fit for me. Nothing more!! Anyway I think I covered in all 60km that day? Slow pace after I got dropped though! Anyway my butt can't get used to the saddle. Its too aero for my butt for now! Need some time to get use to it. Now it hurts so much. Darn! haha. Feel like going for a leisure ride later. But think my cycling tight is still wet. Seat height was kinda high for me, I had readjusted it lower, hopefully it'll suits me better.

Darn I got 2 fines outstanding!! Got fine $50 yesterday for parking on double yellow and when I got back opened letter box got another $70 fine!! (dated back to 16th December) Darn!! Stupid!! Holiday also fine citizens!! NO PLACE TO PARK!! Darn! Friday you see all the illegal parking by the mosque goers but they will never be fine!! Its Christmas and Church goers park illegally cuz there were no more lots. But we get FINE!! Darn!!! What a system!! Sad!!

Okay its here! Collected it this afternoon with my Brother at the bike builder's house. Taiwan frame but with super light weight and design. Its really value for money! Tested the ride, well its about 10 years of absence from cycling so I guess naturally I had a hard time even fitting the ride to my comfort. But after a few simple ride around. Its all good! But I guess going long distance would posed a challenge certainly. ;) Tomorrow morning or rather later at 6:30am will be meeting my Brother to join the ride with about 50 cyclists for a 100km ride! Darn, sounds harsh for someone missing all rides for 10 years! Oh well, if it happens, I'll certainly wanna take it as a leisure ride and enjoy this baby... for now.

Nice ride huh? Looking cool! The color theme is nice! White, Red and Black. Cool. Hope all goes well tomorrow!

Anyway we went to Auntie Angela's house just now for Christmas gathering! Had fun! The kids love it! Now Zach is so tired that he fell asleep by himself in the next room :)

Taken the picture minutes before he went into his dreamland!  Lately he's been crying alot in between sleeps in the night. Really hard to look after him lately. The bigger he gets now, darn he's giving me more and more challenge of being a Father! Of course fun challenge! :) hehe.  Miss him already! Miss his laughters and giggles!! hah.

Okay better go rest now!! Merry Christmas!!

PS3 Set Up with Logitech G25!

As above! Oh yeah I got a PS3! ;) Did not update this yet! Too engrossed into playing or rather racing lately! Been buying great cars like Aston Martin DB9! Cool ride! If only I could drive this in real life!! Gosh!! haha dream on! Anyway got the Logitech Wheelset today with compliments, hehe. But looking at the set up above, ya know its really a sloppy set up! I can't think of any other way to set it up for now! Above set up is definitely temp but how the crap can I set it up otherwise?? Gonna crack my brains! Worst to worst I can't drive in my room!! The bed is in the way! And Bao will be pissed! haha. Darn I love the PS3! Gonna get more cool games in time!! Mainly racing simulators! 

Tomorrow gonna spend more money!! I mean alot more!! I am getting a road bike, finally! After so long considering and considering, and with my Brother influencing me once again. Its gonna be back to riding! But of course I can only do it leisurely, definitely not like 10 years or so ago where we trained to compete. The cost ?? It would fall in the range of $3.5K to $3.7K maybe. Ahhhhh pain for sure but!! Oh well. Here's a picture of brother's bike!! Mine will be almost identical! 

Lost mahjong for the past 2 days. And just these 2 days, the losses amounted to quite a substantial amount. I can't even believe I could lost so much on mahjong. Its really very disheartening  to have lost so much. We played on Thursday night, I lost $875 and we play Friday night and I lost another $360. If you were to add the last week losses of another $760. All in all I would have lost $1,995 in all!! Of course I must not forget my 4D winnings because of the last week losses of $760. But this losses alone took a big chunk of my winnings. Basically I am left with almost ZERO after deducting all expenses due to 4D winnings. As for the winner,  just the last 2 sessions he won $2,600!! Add up the last week, he won $3,000 plus!! Thats so crazy!! He won almost close to half of my 4D winnings. Extraordinary luck simply keep coming for him. As for me? Its totally what we call mahjong sadness. Haizzzz. Lately I have totally ZERO mahjong luck. Really so pissed with the tiles I take. This sound so crazy!!!

Hope 4D gods will visit me tomorrow again. 

ARRRGHHHHHHHhhhhhh
