Zhng your car this festive season

You got to give the guy credit.

Not only did he managed to blend in this car into the CNY festive tastefully, he also got an extra pair of eyes to monitor road conditions.

No more blind spots.

恭喜发财!!!

Best way to start a (Chinese) New Year

I think there is something about me and new year. It wasn't pleasant the first round, it sure ain't any better this morning.

It began when I start to hear a repetitive flipping sound. Oh dear. Problem with the car on the day I needed to use it the most(Btw, my original itinerary consists of Tampines -> Hougang -> Choa Chu Kang -> Woodlands -> West Coast -> Tampines)

It turn out to be a puncture of my tire.

2nd day of CNY. Where the hell could I get help.

Went to Ubi and made rounds and rounds before very luckily chanced upon a half-open workshop that actually do tires.



I had read Mr Brown's blog about this punctured tire and was thinking that it be at most another $20 for me.

Unfortunately things were never so simple for me.



So how, mysteriously, the entire metal portion of a brand new screwdriver got pierced into my tire. The damage was so huge that a patch can't do the trick. I gotta change the entire tire.

$100...

Not only the tire got screwed, I got screwed too...



Still I'm grateful that the uncle at Ban Seng Tyre Services was opened when I needed them the most. Or maybe I should thank his friend who made him open his shop in the first place due to two punctured tires.

1 week break!

My office will be closed for the entire week from 17th all the way till 24th.

As much as I worry about the things that are needed to be done, I am really looking forward to it.

I haven't had a real break since my Hong Kong trip last July. It had been work work work since then. And with my new house coming up, the task list accumulated in my head seems to get longer and longer. I can feel it at the rate I keep forgetting things recently.

I still don't have much idea how I would spend the days as my wife would be working(Poor Annie).

I'll just take it slow. Wake up late, go for a brunch while sipping a hot cup of kopi-c. Reading the newspaper from page to page. Watching the pile of vcds and dvds I'd bought ages ago. Playing my xbox till the wee hours

This is life!

Renovation update 2

My meet up with all the interior designers is finally coming to an end.

From a list of 8, we shortlisted to 2. Aranus & Barang Barang Interior. Right now is more on the price really as I believe both of them could do an equally good job. Tomorrow I should know who I want.

And before I even signed on the dotted line, we had kiasuly bought some items in advance.

We got ourself a King Coil mattress (It was going at $500+, original price is close to $1k I think)

And for those who really like those cool designer furniture but allergic to the price tag, check this place out. They profess to imitate from the more expensive design and reproduce them on the cheap.

We chanced OM Home when we left. This place got some pretty cool stuff too. They have a showroom at Liang Court. We got one metallic lamp there for $120. I find it real cool as it is touch activated and each touch would escalate through 4 levels of brightness.



But the last one gotta be the best.



Oh yeah. My very first Osim massage chair. This chair is really self-convincing. Just sit on it and you won't wanna leave without one. Got it at a $300 discount at $3588. Instalment payment over 3 years at about $98 per month.

I can't wait!
