Change of Plan

Some of u may have heard my grand holiday plan for Oct.
Sadly, it's not happening.
At least not in this Oct.
Still hoping it will happened soon in the near future.

Anyway, i'm hitching a lil' plan which i shall not reveal.
Don't even ask me if u see me.
i will share if it's coming true.
Cos i've learn from experience that the higher i wish for, the bigger the disappointment.
我的人生座右铭 - 没有期望就没有失望

i have been incepted

Finally Inception-ed

Nolan has indeed spun an elegant storyline that is primal, compelling, and most importantly completely captivating but not complicated.
A visually stunning piece of work that left the whole theater of audience in discussion immediately when the roller credit came on screen.
i don't have to tell u how good is it.
U most probably have found out for yourself already.
If u have not, then go in to the theater and catch it now.

前卫感及中古华丽元素的 stage fashion

该show off 的乐器都曾经做过了，这次是比较重视舞台包装
可是当然 must have 的 piano 还是 included and mesmerizing as usual.

Aww i'm suffering from post 杰伦 withdrawal symptom 了啦！

Bali (again)

jt has been yearning for a retreat for some time.

Since it's his birthday
Hence, off we go to Bali
On the plane, he reads his newspaper & catch a nap; while i cried watching The Cove
Window seat view

After 2 & half hours, we finally reached Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport.
This airport's practice is to neatly arrange passengers' baggage besides the Baggage Carousel instead of on it?
By the time we cabbed to hotel & checked in, it was already way past 9pm.
The hotel we stayedVery clean, very good location coz it's directly opp to Kuta Beach, very well provided facilities
Pool Basketball is no easy task
*tired*
Badminton is so much easier!
Such a long time since i last touched a badminton racket.
*enjoy*
Besides pool, the next best way to soak in water is to the beach, to the beach, to the beach
While he tan, i hide under shade
Things that accompanied me
Besides Kuta Beach, we also headed over to Seminyak beach.
The taxi drive who charged us a flat rate after much negotiation, dropped us on the main road and we had to walk miles of road to reach the beachside. Thereafter i decided not to trust those taxi drivers who refuse to go by meter.

Alas! We reached!
At the beach, there are kite vendor, sarong vendor, accessories vendor, fruits vendor & of coz stray dogs.
Much more peaceful beach compared to Kuta

Stumped upon Ku De Ta - the latest "in" place at Bali now!
Indeed very nice & conducive place for idling a relaxing day away.
i swear i shall come back next time!
Speaking of beach, u cannot say u've been to Bali if u did not visit Jimbaran & enjoy grilled seafood by the beach sunset.
It's World Cup season! What's the match today uh?
That's us
So we settled down at Menega Cafe which was clearly the right choice as it's the most crowded among the stretch of restaurants offering similar fare.
Our yummy yummy grilled seafood spread
Are u drooling now?

Speaking of food, i still don't understand why we chose that to have Chinese food on our first night... why eat Shanghai food in Bali when there are so many other better choices!
So wrong!
Anyway, that was a bad choice!
Luckily i satisfied my craving for Rotiboy fresh from oven!
Besides beachfront dinner, we had lunch by the pool side too.
Crispy Bebek + pizza
In Bali, beside food & beach, what else is must do?

MASSAGE!!!
90mins for less than SGD $10!
Shiok!
And we also pampered ourselves with 20fingers massage spa package.
No pic as i fell asleep.
Here is jt enjoying pedicure. His virgin experience!
With a filled stomach & rejuvenated from massage, we explored the Kuta Street
The shops are still selling little arty crafts & paintings, colourful sun dresses & Bintang Tees
Enough of the heat, let's go to air con mall
Happy jt with his purchase.
And we discovered another cool place!
A beachfront chill out place right in the shopping mall.
Other than traveling around in taxis & walking, we sat on a horse carriage.
First in my entire lifetime!
the sounds from the horse's hoof - Glek Kok Glek Kok Glek Kok
All trips must come to an end.
And when the end is here, we can only bide goodbye
i will be back next Jan!

Ice Cream = Happy

i really must give credit to Wall's for their latest "Share Happy" campaign.
Brilliant marketing stunt!
Interesting, creative & draw people's attention easily.
In case u have not seen the tvc currently airing on TV, here you go.

But i don't really agree with their choice of Happiest Place in Singapore.
One thing for sure, ice cream is always a happy treat to me.
Especially good ones though i'm not a fan of Wall's.

unimportant

i feel unimportant when u put R&R with colleagues before me.

Esp when they are people u are already hanging with the whole day at work.
Esp when u're just back from yet another trip this morning.
Esp when i'm full of anticipation to meet u.

not as thin as u think

我真的没有你想像的那么瘦啦！

i think my weight is acceptable given my height which is slightly over 160cm.
i usually can fit in to a S size nicely, rarely do i buy XS size coz that will be too tight.
i don't wear the smallest available Levis jeans size.
i eat at least 3 meals a day.

So... don't call me "叁卜" again! hmph!

Poor Budgeting?

Hello Mr Ng,

i am really surprise to know that your budget for upcoming youth event surpassed the original estimated budget of US$75 million (SGD $104 million) by more than 3 times.
News here
Although our little island is currently been flooded with images of Lyo & Merly, giving the impression that you are spending big bucks to publicize about this International event;
i'm not deceived.
From what i know most of your marketing spaces are given complementary to your committee and at the same time you are also getting sponsors funding to assist in the advertisement productions.
So your marketing spend should be very very minimal
Unless of coz the fee to engage JJ to sing "Oh Yeh! Oh Yeh! Oh Yeh! Hey!" is way too high?
So i really don't understand where did all the monnies gone to.
Much less don't agree that this is necessary.
Financial controller did not put to practice.

Yours sincerely,
Affected Individual

Offsites

i was really proud when jt commented that my gals are very disciplined to stick to our yearly offsite trips.

2004 we had our first offsite to Tioman.
Then it was 2 years hiatus before we resumed and off to Redang we went.
Thereafter, it became a yearly affair for my silly gals.
Our yearly offsite also never fail to excite us.
Every trip was filled with lotsa laughter & photo taking.
Ong - official photographer & researcher
Coconut - official drinker & finance minister
Peh - official massage/spa therapy seeker & sweater
me - official booker & shitter! hah!
pls continue our tradition
Singing Jolin's song "Don't Stop! Never Give Up."

Speaking of which my SP-rians has been talking about going for a trip together since graduation but sad to say till date this has not materialize yet.
NS, further studies, work commitments, wedding preparation, pregnancy & baby.
Many hindrances.
So when can we go uh?

Of coz not forgetting our little trip missy?
Malacca is really not counted right? :p
