Ameristar Casino, My first ever visit to casino

Finally, I am back in Singapore. Arrived safely on Sunday night. It was a long trip back. 19 hours of flight and 6 hours of waiting in transit. Still, the feeling of home coming is better than any other moment. For the past 3 days, I am engaged with alot of things. I have to get all documents ready for my new flat, buying stuffs for Mountain Home and some gym session with baby at fitness first. Finally I have a chance to sit down and re-cap of my 2 months life in St Louis.

7th Feb was the day I left Singapore for St Louis. 2 months in a new environment and new expericences. It would really take me days to describe my life in St Louis. I had a great time there and this great memories is something I will cherish the most. Great memories like:

1) Life in Extended Stay America, Westport.

2) Time spend in Boeing

3) Trip to Casino: Ameristar, Harrah's and Lumiere.

4) The grand Arch.

5) Movie, Haunted house in Connecticut.

6) Great cheesecake in Cheesecake factories.

7) Hard Rock Cafe, St Louis.

8) Daily grocery trip in Schnucks.

9) 3 times a week gym session in Bally total fitness.

10) 3 hours drive trip to Osage beach, twice to be exact.

11) Pubbing session in 1014 and XES.

12) Hooters! esp those oyster session.

13) Outback dinner for Terry.

14) Lunch and dinner in all the chinese,indian, korean and thai restuarant.

15) Quiktrip, for my daily coffee.

16) St Louis Mills, for all my shoppings!

17) RnB radio station, 104.1.

18) The few encounters with snow, esp driving in it.

Pity that I do not have pictures to show all these. I only can blame myself for not bringing a camera. Lesson learn and will never make the same mistake in Mountain Home, esp with baby around. Pictures means a thousand words, indeed. 12 more days in Singapore before we fly over to Mountain Home, Idaho for 1 year. We very looking forward to the trip and well, hope everything just fall well for us.

2ND week in ST Louis

All smiles in ST Louis

This is where we stay

My first time in Casino

Times flies, I am into my second week in ST Louis. The time now is 12:48PM Monday in ST Louis. Later I will be having my first test and I am well prepared. I have my first time for alot of things with this trip. I went to the casino for the first time in my life. First time having to go through such cold weather (0 degree or less), cooking food for myself and doing my own laundry. I am enjoying every moment now but I know it will get better when baby joins me in late April. Idaho is waiting for us!

Back in SG, things are going well for me as well. My wife and I finally got a home for ourself even though it will only be done up by 2013. Our dream home: Punngol Arcadia Block 288B #14-821. But to my despair, we still got alot of documents to settle with HDB as I am far away from home. I just pray hard that everything goes well when I am back early April. 7 more weeks to be back home and 7 more weeks of hard work here in ST Louis so that I wont disappoint everyone that had make this trip possible for us. PS: I miss you badly Mrs Lim.

USA, here I come

Long time since I last blogged. Was tied down with all my trip's preparation and spending more times on Football Manager 2009. 6 more hours and I will be on the plane leaving for ST Louis. A new stage of my working life. New challenges and new prospect awaits me. New working environment and new working style is something that are still a doubt in me. Nevertheless, I will enjoy this trip and will excel and achieve what I had set out for myself. Like what I had on my header, United State of America, here I come! I am gonna miss my family and all this guys (even its just 2 months before the actual trip):

I will miss her most!

My 2 lovely neice, Heather and Beatrice

My closest friends (minus off Mike haha )

AWOF family

Perfect 5 for United

Red is the colour for chinese new year. Red stand for the unstoppable Manchester United. We crushed WBA at their own yard. 5-0 was the final scoreline. Berbatov, Tevez, Vidic and Ronaldo(2) scores the 5 goals that keeps us on top of the table. Van de Sar also broke Petr Cech's record of 925 minutes without conceding a goal and United also set a new record of 11 successive clean sheets, breaking the Blues' record of four years ago. Next up, Everton will pay us a visit. Just bring them on!

Chinese New Year 09

This year's chinese new year is something special to me. Its my first as a married man. It is the first time baby join us for reunion dinner and all the praying ceremony on chinese new year eve. She was also with us on the first day of chinese new year which we usually go to my relatives house. All this is really something different from what I had in past years chinese new year. As it is the first year of my marriage, I dont have to give out any ang bao and it will also be my last year to receive haha! Next year this time comes around, Baby and I should still be in the states. We gonna miss the reunion dinner and all other gathering with relatives and close friends. Nevertheless, this year's celebration is one memorable occasion for me. 14 more days and I will be flying to ST Louis!

Berbatov sink Tottenham

Berbatov score the winner for Manchester United against his previous team to send United into FA cup fourth round. Tottenham took an early lead before Scholes level it in the 35min. Within a minute, another former spurs player Carrick send a beautiful pass to Berbatov for him to win the third round tie. 2-1 is the final result and continue our quest for the four championship we are involve in.
