Except,

Mas Selamat still not found. Singapore is in recession now. Rental price is dropping. KFC still taste bad. New suicidal way - feed yourself to the white tiger in Zoo.

North Point (the shopping centre near my house) is under big renovation, the new wing of North Point very interesting. It has got new Hong Kong style restaurant, very much like Kim Gary/ Mong Kok in KL. It also got Japanese Food Court where you can find most of the Japanese food there, I like the concept. Cold storage is yet to open. Yishun Library also in new wing top floor. I guess this newly renovated north point will be quite interesting, at least for the time being. Now I hope for the old cinema will also renovate!

DBS, Singapore local bank has goreng 900 staff for DBS Singapore and Hong Kong. Petrol price dropping. Tissue culture still practice in Singapore. Even extend it to more places.

Anyway, I just got back from Bangkok trip. It was not too late to discover the fun of shopping at Bangkok. I shall post some pictures here before I go any further. I realized that I do not have a copy of all pictures in my Macbook, I actually left a copy of all pictures in office pc. I cannot post my Bangkok trip today.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures I got now.

Early in the morning, breakfast at Changi Airport.

@ Suvarnabhumi Airport

On the way to Ibis Hotel

I guess I will update it next round.

More pictures will show next post.

After buying my tickets, I chucked it aside and ignored it totally as I had to prepare for my final examinations. My travel mates’ companies were implementing new systems and launching a new project, hence, don’t have any extra time to do research on Taiwan as well.

It wasn’t until when we gathered at KLIA on November 18, we discussed our brief itinerary before boarding the plane. Not knowing where to go and stay, what to eat and do, how to go and etc., we had to rely on our basic instincts and two travel guides we brought along. We didn’t even book any hotels, not even for our first night when we arrived Taiwan.

Well, I am not going to dwell into the details in Cely’s blog. If you want to follow all the adventures and misfortunes of my trip, you got to read my blog. I have posted my first day / arriving day at Taoyuan - “Taiwan 1.1 - Taoyuan 桃园­“.

What I am going to post in Cely’s blog is only a link to a page, with all the pictures in it. Yes, all pictures, not even a single word and it will be separated into many days and categories. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them down with my camera.

Day 1 And 2 : Taoyuan 桃园, Hsinchu 新竹 and Taichung 台中¸­

I spotted SNAKE head!

Spotted Ostrich head also!

They got everyone’s attention!!!

Everyone is so curious about them. Take photo of them. Including myself.

They do not make noise of what they are selling or promoting, but they just gave us the name card.

Still have no idea what they are selling.

NOw I do!

BEROCCA! They are selling vitamins!

I think this is a great marketing. Especially they appearing at lunch crowd!

My housemate Bibi suggested a ‘buffet’ like dinner. Everyone cook one dish. I guess she meant pot luck.

Good idea wo!

So, Bibi prepared a ‘cold dish - cucumber’ (she said she does not have a name for it). She said it was just cucumber with chili. It was store in the fridge since morning. Tasted fresh and good when it is cold.

The chef - Bibi

Bibi’s boyfriend, Melvin cooked curry Chicken. Smells really good. Taste great. The curry ngam ngam spicy enough.

The chef- Melvin.

Hongkiat fried rice - Kampung fried rice. Good idea. As he is kinda good at it. The fried rice might not seems interesting, but it is kinda spicy and taste really good. Initially he wanna cook tomyam fried rice, but we don’t have enough tomyam paste.

Then I cook something I’ve never cook before and something I always like to eat - Sweet and Sour pork - Gu Lou Yuk.

My first try sweet and sour pork. Actually I love it. I search the sweet and sour pork recipe online and follow exactly. I am glad I found the correct one. You guys can try it. It’s not hard. Besides adding ketchup, I also add chili sauce. Add a little spicy ma.

Jim came with surprise, he cooked Rendang Chicken. Caker didn’t have enough time to cook, so he bought us drinks. Jim’s rendang chicken has got a bit peanut sauce. But I think is a bit too watery?

Everything turns out great, I must say. Looking forward for the next pot luck.

Last but not least, the guys!

Thanks everyone for the great dinner.

Scenario 1:

There was a test we did, we required our members to fax in their endorsed test sheet to us. So we were waiting and waiting for those fax.

But after some time, still no fax coming in. So some of us figured out the problem - that we don’t have enough papers in the paper tray (our fax machine is 3 in 1 kind of machine - fax, printer and photocopy machine).

So we asked Carrot (to protect her, somehow) to request few rims of papers from company, she acknowledged and requested for us.

After some time, one of the members called Carrot and wanna confirm if she receive the fax. Carrot then ask us why she still didn’t receive the fax from the particular member, we told her it must be no paper again lo.

Then she went on saying, it must be machine’s problem not paper problem. She actually thought that people will fax the paper to her all the way from USA (let’s assume the member is from USA).

She is a joker, right?

Scenario 2:

Long time ago.

There was one day, where everyone in the office, working on own stuff.

Carrot called our team lead to help her on something, it was technical issue. Real technical issue!

She was having problem with the numbers. SHE CANNOT FREAKING TYPE NUMBERS. FYI, our daily job actually deal with numbers, a lot.

She panicked. Because if she cannot type in numbers, she cannot do her job. Acutally, can. Because the keyboards has another row of numbers, just that not convenient as the numpad.

Because of her panic, she got everyone’s attention.

Everyone went to her desk and trying to see what happen.

She then demonstrated to everyone how she cannot type in the numbers using numpad but able to type in using the number row.

Well, isn’t it obvious enough that she is a JOKER?

I am sure you could have guessed what happen.

That’s right. CARROT ACTUALLY DOES NOT KNOW THE FUNCTION OF NUM LOCK.

She got everyone fainted on the spot.

Scenario 3:

This one happened recently. We were temporary moving out from office and stationed at client side.

So we gotto move some of our belongings and most importantly, our computers.

We unplug and packup everything before some macho guy came (guy colleagues) and help us move the computers to client side, which is just few blocks away.

Okay, macho guys came.

Our team lead announced that we don’t have to bring any LAN cables to client side, because LAN is available there.

So Carrot worried that she left out the important cables, she asked the team lead a few questions.

Carrot: AL, do I need to bring this Blue cable?

AL: No. No need to bring LAN cable.

Carrot: Then how about this yellow cable? Need or not?

AL: Aiyo, I just said no need to bring any LAN cable lo.

Carrot: Hehehe, I don’t know this is also LAN cable. Okay okay.

AL: (Fainted) Then do you wanna bring the grey cable and black cable? They are LAN cable also.

Carrot: Yer.. don’t so bad la, I really cannot recognize those cables!

Joker right?

She so kind provide us so many jokes. I am still collecting her jokes. Shall share with you again.

You can’t say she is dumb. She definitely not. She is just not smart at this area.

We love her! Love her jokes.

I wonder how she got this job, because our job requires IT background.

HMmmm…

It was until when the boss, who looked like a late 20’s chao ah beng that has quite about 30-40% resemblence to Singapore’s famous actor Mark Lee 李国煌, came over and spoke to me.

The boss stutters (A speech disorder involving hesitations and involuntary repetitions of certain sounds.).

The conversation was in Mandarin, but translated for blog purpose.

“You… You… You… cannot take pictures, do you know that? Why are you… you… you… taking pictures? Do you… you… you… know that you are scaring away my customers?”

(Just for humoring purpose. “你。。。你。。。你。。。不可以拍照，你知道吗？ 你。。。你。。。你为什么拍照？你。。。你。。。你。。。在吓走我的顾客。”)

“Huh? How does me taking photos scaring your customers? Why I cannot take pictures? I love photography and I want to take pictures to keep, that’s all.”

“You… you… you still cannot take pictures.”

“Why? You tell me why first, then I shall see.”

“You… you… you still cannot take pictures.”

“Why lah?”

The boss left.

Not satisfied with the answer, I proceeded to continue to take my pictures. However, with respect, I took off my external flash and proceeded to take pictures without any flash, to avoid disturbing other customers. On top of that, I have always choose a corner table at the end of the restaurant or a mcuh more quiet area to avoid disturbing other people when I take my pictures. Moreover, there was no “No Camera” sign.

After finishing my meal, I proceeded to call the boss for the bill.

“Boss, I just to love to take pictures. Don’t worry too much.” (I was trying to be nice.)

“You… you… you… still cannot take pictures, do you… you… you know that?” (The boss said with a very disgusted face and bad attitude.)

“What’s the problem?” (I said in a very agitated tone.)

“You… you… you… still cannot take pictures. I… I… I CAN CALL 999 AND ASK THE POLICE TO COME AND CATCH YOU.”

“……” (I was dumbfounded for 3 seconds.)
“Boss, you actually want to call the police to come to catch me just because I take pictures of my food? Are you out of your mind?”

“……”

He left.

I left the restaurant in a very agitated mood and not wanting to go back there again even though the food was quite good.

Later, after coming back from home, when I tried to reenact the scene by speaking like the boss, I realized how funny it was.

I wouldn’t have laugh at him for his stuttering, but when he threatened to call the police to catch me because I was taking pictures inside his shop which has no “No Camera” sign, I couldn’t help it but to find it amusing, ridiculous and absolutely ridiculous.

Amusing, indeed.

P/S : I shall reveal the restaurant when I blogged about it on my own blog.

After we got our approval letter, we then make an appointment to complete the application with ICA. The process to complete the application was not really hard, just make payment for the entry permit, submit new pictures and print some finger prints to make the identity card.

So we decided to take a new set of IC pictures on that day so that we wont take some unqualified pictures. BUT TURNED OUT TO BE A SET OF FUGLY pictures.

I always told to be expect the unexpected.

My right eye suddenly very itchy and turn red and swollen for no reasons , the friggin 10 minutes before I take picture.

SO SO SO BAD LUCK.

The ‘photographer cum editor’ being very ‘kind’ to help me edit the photo. It become worst. Be prepared to see the ugly me. BIG FACE. SWOLLEN EYE. WEIRD FACE.

But LUCKILY, the one printed on the IC turns out looking normal. At least it’s black and white in color, can’t tell the different of the swollen eyes.

HAHA!

See, 10 years different. The Malaysia IC and Singapore IC.

So, MZ, I posted my ugly IC picture liao… where are u going to show me YOURS? hahaha

If you guys ever wanna comment on my IC pictures, Please dun be so harsh.. I very sad already.

I enjoy that weekend very much.

The Hee Loi Tang Restaurant located at Kajang was quite new. Big and spacious, high ceiling, great lighting, huge screen, big stage, great food BUT Really Bad PA system, BAD karaoke arrangement, poor serving speed, wrong bunch of waiters/waitress.

Very special LONG HA PING PUN (Lobster). I love it.
