Singapore - Day 3

The 3rd day of my visit to Singapore kicks off with breakfast at the hotel again. Today I was scheduled to visit another hard disk manufacturer factory in Singapore, Showa Denko. I was suppose to visit the wastewater treatment plant with UNOX technology. This is an advance technology by the Japanese which is able to reduce the footprint of the treatment plant and increase the performance. But, how many investor would consider giving so much money into wastewater treatment plant like the Japanese?

The plant was really great, very systematic and well kept. After this, we went up the Jurong Hill for an Indonesian lunch. The scenery from the hill was quite nice, considering Singapore is a building forest. I could see the Industrial area well from the look out point.


The hill has another attraction other than the lookout point, the Garden of Fame. It contains many trees planted by famous people around the world, eg: Queen Elizabeth, King of Thailand etc.. But I couldn't search for Mahathir's plant, wonder why... and I wonder if these people do come back to Singapore to water their "plants"


From there we went back to the vendor's office and again they brief me in detail of the UNOX system. Actually the theory was simple and straight forward. After the briefing, I bid my vendors goodbye and thanked them for their treats and great hospitality over the last 2 days.

By then it was already pass 5pm, Georgina (vendor) sent me to Ah Lian's house. I was suppose to stay for a day there with Ah Lian. She brought me to China Town via MRT to meet Ah Beng and Yah Fang. Ah Beng ordered all the weird food from Singapore, as promised.

- Raddish Cake with prawn, rating: 3/5 -

- Fried egg with oyster, ratings: 2/5 -

- Tang Yuen with peanut soup, ratings: 4/5 -

- White coloured Hokkien mee, ratings: 2/5 -

- Laksa mee, ratings: 2/5 -

- Sweet Char Kuey Teow, ratings: 1/5 -

After the weird weird dinner treated by Ah Beng, we head off the walk around China Town for me to get some souvenirs. It was near Chinese New Year and the streets were packed, sardine packed with human. But it was a nice place though, very happening and the buildings are nicely kept. Although a little like our Petaling Street, but their Chinatown looks much better overall.

- Uni-mates: Ah Lian, me, Yah Fang -

- Uni-mate: Ah Beng -

After dinner, we headed off to the Merlion Park again by MRT. The night sceneries in Singapore was spectacular with Merlion statue, the Esplanade and the Singapore Flyer. We enjoyed the view and they took quite a number of photos for me. Now I felt like a tourist and they're Singaporean. Anyhow they did get the PR status already.

- Merlion & us -

- Esplanade & Singapore's night view -

We did catch up a lot, since we've not met after our convocation. Ah Beng and Ah Lian almost became a Singaporean by now, they love this lifestyle and I bet they'll stay there for a long time. Yah Fang whom just stepped into Singapore few months back was still unsure whether she loves the place or not. I personally don't enjoy working in Singapore, where pressure and speed are always a concern.

- Yah Fang's lil pressie for me! -

So then, we bidded Ah Beng and Yah Fang goodbye and headed back to Ah Lian's home in Ang Mo Kio. We got into bed very soon as it was a really hectic and fruitful day.

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
