House in Progress

Got some pictures off Jeremy today of my new house. It's still quite messy in the garden, but the inside is not too bad though extremely messed up at the moment. Makes me wanna go home!!!
Here are the pics...

National Day Dinner

Dubai had a belated Singapore 42 year old National Day celebration @ the Movenpick Hotel.

The program started off with the national anthem Majulah Singapura and the pledge! I haven't said that in such a long long time! Since primary, secondary school days! Brings back memories. Took some video shot off my camera. Here it is...





Listened to Prime Minister's speech on video on Singapore's progress. (not that i was all that excited, but it's good to know how your country is doing). I'm proud to be Singaporean.

Met some other new Singaporean friends along the way... I felt... at home. Haha.

i am fat and unhealthy

The first thing I heard when I stepped into office this morning was... "Hey did you put on weight... a lot of weight"

Great way to start the day. Anyway, yes i did. and so what? who's going to care?

Anyway, i've read about this really good chocolate place on Sheikh Zayed Road called Chocolat-Thé. It's a willy wonka sort of place (as I imagine it to be). Biting off door handles made of chocolate, walking on chocolate. ok that's just my imagination. Will update when i actually hunt this joint down!

Over the last few weeks, I developed asthma. Just felt like dying. Literally. Gasping for air like a fish out of water. I should stay healthy. Yet procrasination has been my friend over the last 3 months. My hospital bill cost me a fortune. - No it is not that serious. But I walked into the hospital just for a doctor consult - didn't want to go to some dodgy quack.

Uncle BoonHuat and Aunty Gina just air flown some bok choy, and Uncle Danny just brought back some Otah and beef rendang. We had such a good Singapore meal. Yum.
I just got myself some pork belly... in an attempt to cook siew yok (roast pork).

Life goes on on on... whether you're fat or unhealthy. It's good to eat pork fat, chocolates etc. It will prevent you from growing old......

and that's because you die young.

Boredom strikes again

Didn't feel like working, didn't feel like shopping, didn't feel like studying, didn't feel like reading, didn't feel like watching tv, didn't feel like sleeping, didn't feel like gym-ing...

I was down at the mall... and I've eaten dinner and feeling full and flabby. Didn't fancy the idea of shopping. I should have gone skiing.

What else can i do???? I'm so so bored!!!

Desert Team Building?!?

We had a MEP team building outing at the Desert. Dune bashing, camel rides, quad biking (for those who wanted), and an arabian dinner with a belly dancer.
A pretty fun outing with the team I would say.

We all had too much laughs. I'll let the pictures tell the story!

Sand Boarding - Guess how many fell over?

That was the mountain of food. Mostly for Liby because he's going back to India to get married!

Liby in the middle - the almost married man.

His indian tradition, they had to place an ad and go for interviews to find a bride. That's just a totally different culture. Interesting i would say.

Another day in Dubai

Fel, Sean and I decided to take a long afternoon break after lunch. Drove around Festival City

This place is suppose to be the largest private development currently. But as of course, everyone is trying to outbeat someone. You'll never be at the top for long.

Anyway, it's quite a nice little community with a really pretty golf course.

Took David and Sean down to Jumeirah open beach to take some stupid pictures after work. I only have a stupid picture of myself- but i made both of them do the same thing... haha.

Went to Ibn Battuta for a feed. Being in the MEP building services line... David was just hunting around for all his airconditioning stuff... it was so well hidden, I thought it was part of the facade. This is a picture IN the mall... feels like you're outdoors...

Happy National Day Singapore!

Marikita ra yat singapoura sa masa ma mernuju bahagiya, cita cita kita ya mu lia, berjaya singapura. (Haha, obviously that is my limited malay knowledge).

and Happy Birthday Dad!

Oman +++

Haven't been blogging in a while. Mum and Dad just left, so I've been really busy with just settling in by myself.

Yup... busy with work and buzzing around... Was just up in Musandem, Oman with some of the diving enthusiast. The boat brought us out to Limau rock.
Yes I have sea phobia... rather, diving phobia. It was certainly not a good day for diving. One nearly died - he ran out of oxygen, and another sat on a sea urchin. They shall remain anonymous. (that's why i'm not showing the face! - but it's pretty easy to guess the spiked butt)


Decided on a safer sport - snorkelling. Did see quite a few fishes closer to the rocks. Nice and pretty. I'm sure it must have been prettier further down. Plus kayaking - which was really fun too.

Baby sat Faith and Jedi whilst their mom and dad went diving. Ah... it was a great weekend.
