Thailand Friends

Had an eventful weekends last week, as we meet up with our Thailand friends and brought them around Singapore for shopping.

They have been to Chinatown, Little India, Funan IT Mall, Habour Front and Suntec City. The most memorable one is the Little India trip. That was like my second time to Little India, after bringing Adam 2 years ago. There is this new arcade that sells quite a number of jewellery. Bought some bangles there but the girls are shopping like crazy.

Thanks to them, i wouldn’t step into Little India in the usual days and to touch the water at the Suntec City’s fountain. Singapore ain’t that boring i guess. Heez~ But too short a stay in Singapore, we would have brought them to try Nasi Lemak, Fried Kway Teow, have some local breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you will be surprise, they don’t like Far East Plaza.

Fortune Cookie

June passed me 1 fortune cookie first thing in the morning. I have seen such in those ang mo ang mo magazines but never had one.

Took 2 bites and found a slip of paper in there. It says “Take time off to manage your personal matters.” Hahaha~ Hit bingo this time. I got so much things in my mind that i have yet complete. \(^.^)/

Being A Pets Groomer

I was thinking of becoming a pets groomer. Wonder how much do you need to pay to take up such pets groomer course? Expensive bah?

Poor Ah Pi… Shall make him the guinea pig~ Meow!

Humpty Dumpty Had A Great Fall

Today is friday! This morning is breezy! Today meant to be a happy day!

But i miss a step and tumble down the stairs like humpty dumpty. Land lying on the floor on my back. Cool right? I still know how to break fall. I hardly remember how it happen…

What a day~ (-.-‘”)

Sweeping 2005, Welcoming 2006

Goodbye to the tough 2005 and welcome the 2006.

A quick summary of my work in the respective areas:-

Work
Been through quite tough time since my colleague went on maternity leave. But was very glad that i created quite a lot of marketing materials for the asia pacific region:-

  • Medishield Talk Posters
  • Motor Insurance Posters
  • AF Greater China Company Profile
  • AF Asia Pacific Asia Pacific Regional Conference 2005 Materials – Powerpoint Template, Registration Form, Facts Sheet, Programme List
  • AF Asia Pacific Asia Pacific Advertisement – On Asia Insurance Review Magazine
  • AF Asia Pacific Banner
  • AF Asia Pacific Regional Brochure – This has been hanging there for more than 1 year and plus the dispute with the design house
  • AF Asia Pacific Energy Brochure
  • Christmas Cards & Ecards
  • Established a lot of proposal cover for their tenders
  • Standardize the CV design
  • Intranet Website – Though still working on the launching

Also, my company has put me in charged for 2 conferences, Regional Conference 2005 in Sentosa and Energy Conference in Kuala Lumpur. These 2 experiences are definitely enriching. It’s sometime amazing to see people form different parts of the world gather together, across mountains and oceans.

As for the new year, I hope my passion remains till the day i resigned. Simple as that.

Colleagues
The bond between the colleagues are stronger after 1 and a half year. Seems pretty hard to click with them like the same age of friends usually do. I would say we never go out together unless any of the colleagues resign, and we are out for the last meal. Sigh… 2 of my very own kakis, Aileen and Catherine resigned one after next. But was really glad to have others like Edel, Meow In, Joey, Angeline and William mixing around at the start of the year.

Health
Not much of a sickness except putting on weight. But we have targetted to work hard on exercise days with the rest of the click, probably do more exercise on my own with Lester. Should be able to see the results lah~ Pray… Turn others into pigs but not me!!!

My degree is getting deeper, and my shan guang makes it worst. Should i take up contact lens or should i wear my glasses? Sob~ Sob~

Travel
Been to Thailand, first time on board a plane. I SEE CLOUDS… I find that Thailand is a very colourful and friendly country. Most importantly, it is a shopping paradise… Heez~ While Chang Mai is like Cameron Highland, a good place for good air and relaxation. Really makes you appreciate the nature.

Toys
2 significant toys which really make my life a little different, Sony Walkman MP3 and Wacom Tablet.

New Resolutions
Hmm… To pick up all the necessary software skills and mathematics again to prepare for my university. Learn more programming from Lester. Bury my head in Kinokuniya Book Stores, coz i fall in love with the books. Finished my Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, which i have 97 chapters to go. Have more time with my dog. I always think he is the only one being neglected at home and you know dog’s life span is short. Sigh~ Keep fit and healthy. Stay happy…

I Am Back

Yes… I’m back from the Thailand 8 days trip. I could have bought more… But anyway, next time then. Not intend to write anything, let the photo do the story telling.

Just touch down yesterday from Kuala Lumpur, stay there for 2 days 3 nights for a conference. Plain tired…

Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet

Bought a Wacom tablet at the Sitex last Saturday. Hope I can fully utilise it for my design and drawing. It is a good training learning freehand drawing. One of the days, I will get my proportion of a human figure right. I sucks in that…

Was very troubled and angry with a brochure design I am dealing with now. It is really ugly… I protested, but that fellow do not want to listen to me. Always say “Lay Hiang, I don’t want white colour.” Man… Thinking of my insert, with photographs occupying in whole of the background, opacity reduced, still make the reading difficult. And I don’t even recognise what image is that. Dumb dumb…

Anyway, this Friday I am flying. Hopefully can come back and continue with the badminton on the 11 December 2005. 12 December I will be flying to Malaysia for business. Shall be back on the 14 December 2005. Contact me after that bah…

Yawns… Sleeping soon in the cold cold office.

Corbis.com

Excellence service and help support from the Corbis image provider. Deeply appreciated. Special thanks to Corbis KL office and the Singapore one. My brochure that is due 1 year ago has finally comes to an end. Phew…

Well… After all, me still stuck in the office waiting for a call from London. Damn it!!!

Frequency of the City

Happen to catch Frequency of the City from arts central yesterday. This show is filmed locally, about how musicians (or people who loves music) compose and build up one work piece.

Yesterday’s episode shows 2 of them going out to record the sounds that they want, den put them together into the computer, edit and *tata* the final piece of music. Looking at the equipment invested, though simple, but I don’t think it is cheap as well. Terms that they used, chord progression (if I did not spell wrongly), are something that if you don’t learn about this subject, you don’t know what is it. Still, I show my encouragement to people who have passion to music.

As for the lyrics, I only believe in talent.

张智成 – 预言

姑娘轻轻挽起长长的发辫
读着情郎捎来的诗篇
遥望杨柳垂挂夕阳湖边
仿佛幸福已近在眼前

月台西窗许下含蓄的誓言
三生三世还要来重圆
月老在多年前缠了红线
盟约早已订在那一年

[Chorus]
前世预言再远
携手将未来应验
情人慧眼
相看七世也不厌

不要变
就算白日飞升羽化登仙
任何时遇见
都相守十万个永远

真爱能让所有的预言一一被兑现
预言能让所有的真爱经得起考验

[Rap]
雪花下我想念姑娘杏红的脸颊
梨涡浅笑不说话
不说话沉鱼落雁的刹那
繁星下五言七言述说爱情的伟大
花前月下谈婚嫁谈婚嫁
