Staycation at Sentosa ~Day Three @S.E.A~

On our last day of the staycation, we went to the S.E.A for some immersive experience with the fishes.

阿弟舅父

2013年9月2日早上8點17分，舅父去遠行了。

永遠懷念。

Staycation at Sentosa ~ Day 2 at USS ~

Take the ride!

Day two, we were all set out for another fun day at USS. Our holiday package includes complimentary breakfast for two days, but not at Equarius Hotel. Perhaps it is too atas to be free? Instead, we were allowed to choose from StarBot Cafe at USS, Hard Rock Hotel or Hotel Michael. Since we were going to USS, we might as well have breakfast there. 

Staycation ~Equarius Hotel~

We had a wonderful two-night stay at the Equarius Hotel Sentosa. The hotel boasts "breezy deluxe rooms and suites with panoramic views of either the sea or the forest". The package did not state which view we would be getting, and it was a pleasant surprise to find out that our room faces the sea :) 

Staycation at Sentosa ~Day 1 at Adventure Cove~

Hotel Equarius

The month of July was a fruitful one, with time well spent at the local integrated resort - Resort World Sentosa. Gambling is not my cup of tea, so my sis and I booked a package worth SGD 404

 per pax which includes two nights stay at Hotel Equarius and one-day entry each for the following attractions: Adventure Cove, S.E.A and Universal Studio Singapore.

Sounds like a good deal right?

UT ~Be@rbrick~

I've always liked Uniqlo Tee (UT) for their quality, design and most importantly, their affordable price. Where else can you find a quality t-shirt with a limited edition of Be@rbrick for just SGD 24.9?

Uniqlo has recently launched a series on Be@rbrick, with a complimentary Be@rbrick keychain for every t-shirt bought, available on first-come-first-serve basis.

I bought mine last Saturday:

買一個回憶

回憶，不是觸不到的嗎？
可以用金錢買的嗎？
今天，我就用了區區八毛錢買了一個回憶。

正確來說，應該是買了一個喚醒回憶的輔助工具。

只是很簡單的一隻冰棒而已啦。

Paddle-pop

Felt Wool Craft

Felt wool craft may be new to some, but it is fairly popular in Japan, look at what the Japanese are capable of:

so cute right?!

Smog, smoke and Singapore

The Merlion is tearing. Not from the constant action of spurting water that trigger its gag reflex, but from the smoke and smog that have been shrouding the city-state since last Thursday. Yesterday the PSI hit a new high, with it going up to 371 at night. If the PSI is the stock market, I think I would have earned buckets by now.

The PSI was at the "Unhealthy" level when I went out to buy breakfast (in case you are wondering, yes, I was trying my luck to get the jaundiced Harrow Mimi, which went out of stock faster than surgical masks at pharmacy)

Seriously?!

Across the causeway @ City Square (JB)

It has been a while since I stepped foot on Malaysia. Sam is back, so we took the opportunity to go to one of our favourite places - City Square (JB) -   before she goes back to NZ.

One of the reasons why we like there is due to the lower costs of living. It is at least 20-50% cheaper across the border. And the quality is not compromised. City Square has undergone renovation and the last time we went there most of the shops were boarded up. It has become so new and clean, the restrooms especially ;) Although the haze was just as bad across the border and the mall was a little smoky/blurry, it did not dampen our spirits as there are so many shops to go to and so many eateries we want to try out! 

肉骨茶初體驗

雖然移民新加坡十多年了，不過我還是第一次吃到肉骨茶。
那時Sam帶我去吃rojak, 我說那是我第一次吃，她很詫異，“怎麼可能？！”

jogging diary 12/11/2012

Since today was gloomy, I went jogging with dad in Zhenghua Park. Boy, it was exhausting. I could only last for 20 minutes before my legs started to succumb to the build-up of lactic acid in my legs. But I managed to briskwalk for another 45 minutes. Enough exercise for the day, time to rest! Shall continue two/ three days later :)

King KinKi Kids

今天寄來家裡。看了第一張碟，明晚繼續。


附送的postcard給人似曾相識的感覺。這是他們重拍當年A album的封面照，算是懷愐當年青澀時代的自己吧。有一種回到原點的感覺。

Tonkichi

最近加人工，盡孝道（？) 請家姐食好嘢。我叫咗雜錦炸物。豬扒夠豬(豬味濃）、鮮蝦夠鮮甜扎實（足料）、炸蠔唔腥夠juicy。不過舊炸蟹餅過奶，麻麻。D菜絲白飯任添，味增湯夠味，最後的西瓜夠甜。正！雖然價錢頗貴，不過吃得開心，服務周到（至少不會趕客），會再光顧。

新目標 Mid Yr Review

看了半年前寫的東西，發覺我這半年以來有進步哦。

首先，我考到車牌了！！！！（鼓掌+散花）考了兩次，第一次天時地利不人和，第二次天時地利人和，無驚無險考到我人生中頗重要的執照。雖然有點小瑕疵，可是還是考到了。Yeah!

第二，我開始有做運動了。偶爾跟爸爸去騎腳車，行山，看風景，享天倫，人生一大樂事也。雖然新加坡算是城市，不過綠化可是做的好，公眾週末可以去公園走走，遠離繁囂。連續走了幾個鐘頭，腿酸，汗流浹背，不過眼底攝入了不少宜人的風景，收穫良多啊。好過窩在家裡和周公下棋。

最後，剩下我的diana。被我荒廢在衣櫥里，真對不起。恐怕裏面的菲林都曝光了吧（汗）。找些時候，再研究研究。

最近開始又想去學日文了。姐姐建議我去ikoma，因為那裡的班是可以改動的，不用規定某個週日，方便我這種上班不定時的人。給自己訂個目標，明年考到檢定5級。

唔，就這樣。目前為止我的mid yr review結論：有進步哦。 再接再厲。

近畿熱

最近都沒有在follow近畿的新聞，荒廢到連我媽都在問他們是解散了嗎？我只知道肥仔剛在辦solo演唱會...SHOCK嘛，結束很久了呢（汗）。

只是這幾個禮拜去yesasia看看有沒有King Con的DVD (省錢，買香港版的)，再去官網，才驚覺光一又要出solo了！！！（大驚）只不過這次的專輯不是每首都出自于他的手筆。封面也出來了（汗，我到底lag多久了）...評價：超級帥。嘛，一直以來都很帥（羞）。

今天聽著近畿的歌睡午覺，好想念他們。恐怕要到年底才能聽到他們的新歌（唉）。在我的King Con DVD來之前，還是看看舊mv解解饞好了。

一個微笑，一個關懷

今天在巴士上看到一幕溫馨的場面： 一個小妹妹因為重心不平衡，差點摔倒在大哥哥身上。可幸的是，大哥哥接住了她，還對她微笑揮手說再見。

那是我看過最真誠、最溫柔的笑容。:)

是時候

最近覺得自己變得有點頹廢，例如說明知道明天上早班，還是敵不起睡意，跟周公下午茶去了。現在就算躺在床上也要12點才能和周公吃宵夜。

我這個人有一個不好的習慣，就是喜歡procrastinate。“明天的事後天做”是我的座右銘。無關必要，我是會一直拖延下去。 看看有什麽我還沒有做：
1）考車牌 - 拖了將近一年，還沒去訂下考車的日子。是時候了，先訂四月的，考不上再利用五月的休假再去考。
2）lomo - 荒廢了大半年的diana+，現在還窩在我的衣櫥裏。底片應該不會發黴吧。找時間去研究研究。
3）買電腦 - 還沒有決定要不要買。反正flexi還是要claim的。不買白不買。年中看有沒有IT show去看看吧。

最近發現自己變胖了，一來是因為去吃宵夜的關係，再來是缺少運動。看看大學第一年的照片，我那時候雖然稱不上是運動型的，可是我的臉是還有弧度的，手腳還算結實，不像現在無止境地向橫延伸。那時候一有空就去跑跑步，大汗淋漓的感覺是多麼的爽快、舒暢。現在游泳池就建在家附近，我也沒藉口去偷懶了。

剛才做了一點點的運動（空中踩腳車），有一點feel。做工的時候可以訓練臂肌（每次都要扛大箱的samples），下班就走多點路當運動吧。休假時再去游泳什麽的。這樣一點一點的，就算不會瘦也可以維持現在的體重（現在大概有51了吧-__-lll）。

是時候做一些改變，不然會失去動力，再也不要改了。

辭職？

最近新晉的同事們（應該是說跟我同期的同事們）一個一個的都有辭職的念頭。 有兩個（還是三個？）已經下定決心了，都為自己鋪定后路。看著他們即將離開，心都有所不捨，也覺得感慨。為公司覺得不值，訓練了近半年的員工，還沒做滿一年就要遞辭職信，實在是很可惜（某種程度上，還蠻浪費資源的）。

離開的原因就很typical: 看不到未來前景，上司頑劣，不喜歡工作程序。。。最重要的都是爲了自己前途著想，大多都覺得呆在這個機構是沒有發達的機會，晋升機會少又緩慢，“新仔”至少也要待個5年才能晋升為senior。薪水也比不上在私人機構工作的朋友。

環觀四周，公務員嘛，大家都很安於現狀，待了5年以上的人都已經懶得走了。看到每天營營役役的senior, 心裡都會想： 我會變成他們一樣嗎？心裏面有種莫名的不安和恐懼感。

其實我對現在的工作都沒有強烈厭惡的感覺，就覺得打份工而已，掙口飯吃罷了。這樣想是沒大志了一點（呵呵，我真的是沒大志）。往正面一點的方面想，這份工還蠻有意義的，幫得到人，何樂而不為？

所以說真的，我不介意待下去，這行也不是一成不變的。科技與日俱新，我進來了不夠一年，這裡就起了重大的變化，接下來2年內也會有新的工作程序變動。雖然做的測試大同小異，可是都是會直接影響病人的健康（甚至身死），絕不可輕蔑。

短時間內我大概是不會辭職的（四處找工作太麻煩了）。即將離開的同事們，只能祝願他們前程錦繡，仕途順利。

新任務2012

又荒廢這裡了。-_-lll

決定了以後把這裡當成是日誌，逼自己寫至少150個字。有感而發也好，靈機一動也好，純粹發洩情緒也好。。。把以前喜歡寫作的心情找回來。
