2009 FORMULA 1 - Singtel Singapore Grand Prix

Woo~~ heart throbbing excitement!
Last minute call from a colleague to join F1 Practice Session at Padang Grandstand (right opposite the historical supreme court and city hall), couldn't believe it till i got the pass in hand. [almost faintz when i was told that the tix cost SGD598].
First time ever, at the grandstand watchin F1 in close proximity, really an "adrenaline rushing" experience. ...EEWWW....EEWWWW... the cars dashed across at 300+ km/h right infront, my hp camera could hardly focus and capture a good shot; the massive blast-effect of the engine is unbearable, lucky i have the survival kit (SGD2/kit) with me: one pair of earplugs (must put on to avoid hearing loss) + one poncho (in case got splashed by water).
The night event inclusive of 2 practice sessions (2 hours each) and live entertainment music party at intervals... FUN!

CATS + 天冷就回来

最近看了两部歌舞剧 - CATS + 天冷就回来。。。

两场完全不同特色，却让我陶醉其中的

CATS 生动艳丽，平日对猫并没太多好感的我却被舞者精湛舞技吸引

天冷平实感人，一首首改编后的新谣感动了我一整夜。。。

Bull year

My bull year did not start well, i was febrile+bodyache on the very first day of lunar new year. The symptoms persisted till the 3rd day and rashes was all over my limbs, doctor suspected dengue fever and did a blood test on me. sigh, result wasn't good, and i need to go back in 3 days time to do the second blood test.
Finally, the signs and symptoms subsided on the 7th day, and the diagnosis was viral infection...phew~
Sigh my new year holiday ended up with sick leaves....Hopefully the bad things are all over, and i have a good year ahead =)

my recent changes

pierced finally...3 months ago, i had my ears pierced and now i can put on nice dangle, stud, chandelier earrings =)
Had an eye-check recently and ended up with a pair of (astix+myopia) glasses....

i passed!

Nothing to boast about, but im really happy for passing my basic theory test...after years (2 yrs to be exact, ever since sis bought a car) of wanting to have my driving license converted. I was perpetually delaying, gave all sorts of excuses i.e. laz to study, no leave to sit for exam, the exam is tough, timing not right .... all lame excuses i could think of.

Finally, the mission accomplished, and i'll be on the road soon ~~

My first emcee on stage

A very good evening ladies and gentlemen, a very warm welcome and thank you for joining us on this special day of Jasper&Seeyin.... thats how it begins......

It was Monday at the wedding banquet, I was supposed to be there at 6 pm for the debriefing, rushed from my office 5:30 sharp hope to reach on time, aiks i was late and my partner was there rehearsing himself when i reached. Quickly i changed and got ready for the last rehearsal...oh my, its almost 7pm then and the guests were coming in soon.

I'm not used to public speaking, even worse this is the first time emceeing, quite nervous and heart beating fast..90rpm?. My worrisome came by... but with the help of my partner, we managed to run through a few times, and i was wee bit relieved.

It started around 83o that night, was slightly delayed. Standing on the platform, facing the guests, i felt adrenaline rushed through my veins at first. Slowly and steadily, we carried through the first session, then the second. I like the toast session best, the "yam seng" cheers from heng dai was like eveready batt, long and powerful. Finally, we made the closing and banquet ended at 1030.

It was a wonderful night, and i had great time, gave it a 99% =)

I'm back

Never posted for such a long time, but decided to pick it up again.
Have experienced a lot for the past few months, alone, with family and frenz. Hardly remember everything that happenned but vaguely some which i would like to blog it. First and foremost, departure of my dearest hong hong to Australia in Jan, it was hard initially, things didn't turn out as smooth but have settled down eventually. All the best to you and we are proud of you!
The next event which came immediately was Chinese new year and visited some frenz up north. It was a short yet memorable trip. March and April weren't good, was busy preparing for some exams, didn't do well, as i have high expectation of myself.
Went into a transition phase in may and june, shall i stay on or leave my job? It wasn't an easy decision to make, as I'm moving out from my comfort zone into an unknown territory. Anyway, the decision was made, I'm on the way out, and seeking new adventures in the next month.
