Re-cap of 2 months in St Louis

2009-04-09T09:21:00.014+08:00

Schnucks, daily grocery place

Extended Stay America, place we stay

Osage beach, shopping heaven

Hard Rock Cafe, St Louis

Cheesecake Factory, where you find delicious cheesecakes

The Arch

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

2009-02-17T02:44:00.009+08:00

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

2009-02-07T00:23:00.013+08:00

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

My chiong kakis!

Perfect 5 for United

2009-01-28T11:32:00.000+08:00

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

2009-01-27T23:14:00.002+08:00

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

2009-01-25T10:37:00.003+08:00

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.

Unbelievable Dunk

2009-01-22T22:39:00.002+08:00

Was browsing through youtube at some NBA clips and I found this Unbelievalbe Dunk clip! Trust me, it is really unbelievable. Spinning 360 and dunk is too common. This guy here who I dont even know his name make a 720 spin and dunk it home! Thats 2 round in the air. Dont think even MJ or Lebron can do that. Give this clip a look guys!

United into Final

2009-01-21T11:26:00.005+08:00

Yes! My Manchester United booked their place in the Carling Cup final with a 4-2 win over Derby County at Old Trafford to overturn a shock 1-0 defeat in the first leg. We will face Tottenham (For sure as they lead 4-1 from first leg) on March 1st. But, United pays a big price for this final appearance as several players were injured in this match. Both Andersen and Rafael will be out joining Evra, Rooney and Ferdinard on the injuried list. Evans and Nani was also limping towards the end of the match so they are an uncertainty for the next match which is the FA cup tie against Tottenham this Saturday ay Old Trafford. I dont think Sir Alex will risk using Giggs, Scholes anf Neville as he would prefer to keep them for more important games in the league and champions league. So, we might see Fletcher playing at right back and Fabio (Rafael twin brother) in contention for the left back position. For last night match, it was an expected result. United were too strong for Derby. Sir Alex did not play Tosic the new boy as what I have expected. Maybe due to all those injuries, he was unable to play him. Goals from Nani, O'Shea, Tevez and Ronaldo was enough to send us through to the finals. With games coming fast, we can ill-afford to have a growth in our injuries list. Something to be relieve about is that Ronaldo finally scored even it is from penalty spot and we still have young players like Gibson, Fabio, Tosic, Possebon and Wellbeck to use as role players. By the way, where is Owen "Sorry I bust my knee again" Hargreaves!

Punggol Arcadia Result

2009-01-20T00:48:00.003+08:00

Since I got married, I have always been wondering about getting my own house. Baby and I have tried several ways. From buying through a housing agent to apply for the quarterly sales from HDB which are all second hand flats and finally applied in two Build-To-Order exercise that HDB are currently having, Punggol Arcadia and Punggol Regalia. Today(19/01/09), the result for BTO exercise of Punggol Arcadia is out. And for me, the following result is a happy start for us.
We were given the queue number 109. We applied for 4 room which have a total of 465 units. That means we have a high chance to choose the unit they we desire. The only problem is that the selection of the unit will only be carried out on Feb or March which by that time, I will be away at states. So, we have to get a lawyer and sign a Power Attorney to my Brother and Dad so to engage their help in the selection. Nevertheless, it is still a very happy news for us. This exercise will only be completed by 2013 which is still 4 years aways. Now, it is time to save up and get ready for the renovation of our own love nest!

LeBron James!

2009-01-20T00:19:00.003+08:00

LeBron James! What can I say about this fantastic basketball player. He has the size, strength, speed and leaping ability that everyone compare him to the all time greatest basketball player that ever grace the court, Michael Jordan. To me there is only one similarities between them and that is they share the same number, number 23. James is different from MJ. James play small forward as compare to MJ. James is bigger in size and that makes his play different from MJ. James uses his strength, power and size very very well. James lead his team in points and assist. His number for block and steal have been outstanding as well. He is a complete package. Now in 2009, his team is leading the rest in the league. Will he end up with a championship? I think good chance. Compare to last season, Cavaliers are stronger. I just watched them last Saturday and they were awesome. The only problem now is experience and injuries in the team. The only person in the team that had won a championship is Big Ben Wallace. They also have quite a few injured players at this moment. When come to playoff time, all this will changes the result of the series. As for now, Lebron have to contnue to put his team on his shoulder and battle through all obstacle and get their hand on the main prize. If he failed, I dont think its a disaster. Dont forget, it took MJ almost 8 years to win his first NBA title. From what James had done for the team in recent years, I think this guy is fantastic. So I wish that when come July, its the Cavs and the Lakers in the NBA final.

Fried Chicken Wings Challenge!

2009-01-18T14:35:00.013+08:00

It is damn freaking hot!

More water please
Gloria & Pris
Mr & Mrs Rajen
They are struggling!
Look at Shixiang, he is sweating!
Mouwei & Sargu look stunned! haha
These are the chicken wings!

They are giving LEVEL 10 a try!

The Clicks!

Last Saturday 10/01/09, Sam organise an outing at a chill out place located inside Seletar Camp. I am not sure of the name of the place because I went there quite late. But one thing for sure, they really have very hot, spicy chicken wings. They have it from level 1 to 10. As that day we got to work, me, Rajen and Tong Seng went there with our family quite late. We had a hard time locating the place and we have to ask Sam to come out to lead us in. As we reach there late, we were unable to order any food as the last order was at 9.30pm. We are left with alot of chicken wings and cheese fries. But, the chicken wings are mix up so I dont know which is level 1 and which is level 10. So as a good husband I am, before baby wana eat, I will give it a try. Think I am very unlucky because on the first try, I tasted the power of level 10. It is really burning spicy and I really feel like dying haha. I find that this is a nice chill out place but as for the food, I dont think it is nice. Apart from very hot and spicy, it is too salty. The worst part is, it is very hard to locate this place. I dont think I can find the place again by my own hahaha. Those who love to challenge those damn hot and spicy chicken wings, you can go ahead. But please trust me, start of with level 1 first. Enjoy!

We are top of the table!

2009-01-18T12:06:00.005+08:00

Yeah we are top of the table and there is where we belong. We did it the hard way by beating Bolton 1-0 with a last minute goal from Berbatov. Bolton played well but we have more heart and more motivation for the 3 points. Without Ferdinard, Evra and Rooney, we struggled. Thanks to Tevez and Berbatov who created the last minute goal. We are really lucky because before the goal, Sir Alex was about to take out Tevez and if that had happen, we might not have the goal. Now, we lead the EPL table by a point and like what everyone is saying, the title is ours to lose now. With Liverpool and Arsenal coming to Old Trafford in the remaining fixtures, destiny is in our own hand. With 17 more games to go in the league and alot of cup games coming up especially Inter Milan's visit, we have to hit top gear and faster get all injured players back. To me personally, Evra is the most important player in the squad. Without him last nite, the left wing attack was rather weak. His partnership with Ronaldo was outstanding which we saw in the Chelsea game. His defending ability was outstanding as well. We have to get him back fast. As for last night game, Carrick proved that he is the best passer in England with several beautiful un-lock defence passing. We got to visit WBA next game before we entertain Everton at Old Trafford. 2 tricky games but I think shouldn't be much problem to get all 3 points! Come on United!

Close Friends Gathering

2009-01-17T17:19:00.006+08:00

Last night after our function, we proceed to Sufern house for a late night steamboat and mahjong session. We came up with this idea during our dinner for the function. The food was not enough for us so Pris and Sufern plan for a steamboat right after our function. But first most, Sufern have to call her husband Adrian to get the green light. She also asked Weide along too as both Adrian and Weide are having class when they received her SMS. So, we went according to our plan. I drop both Pris and Sufern at Sheng Song in Bedok then I send Mike back home for a bath and proceed to Baby's house to fetch her. After picking up her, its back to bedok for Mike, Pris and Sufern. We bought alot of stuffs for our late night steamboat session. Adrian was already at home when we arrvied. All of us start off by washing the food and getting everything ready for steamboat. Trust me, we are hungry! This is the first time I am having steamboat such late in the night. We started around 2350 and ended about 0200. We started clearing everything and clean the table and all plates. Then it was time for mahjong. I let baby played the whole game as she is having the good hand. She has improved quite alot in her mahjong skills which makes me happy and relieve. As its very late, they only played 1 round and the time was already 0445. We really have to rush back home because baby got to work the next morning and I have to send her to work! Bottom line is, this is what I enjoyed the most. A small gathering with close friends. A gathering with foods, gossips, mahjong and some sharings. What can I ask for more? We planned this the very last minute and it turn out to be very successful. Its all down to our seriousness and truthfulness towards our friendship. No "hey you should do it my way!" and No "I join you guys because they are not free". We cherish what we have and never ask for more. This is friendship.

United Goes Second

2009-01-15T16:21:00.004+08:00

The scoreline reads Manchester United 1 Wigan 0. But it was a hard fought battle as according to Sir Alex and I quote, Wigan was the best side that have played in Old Trafford this season. They made it hard for us. Rooney score the only goal in the first minute but later picked up an injury that end his game early. This is also the ninth successive premier league clean sheet too. Mind you guys, most of the games are without Ferdinard. With this win, we climb our way up to second in the premier league table, 2 point behind Liverpool and 2 ahead of Chelsea with 1 game in hand. Everything look positive except that Rooney is out with a hamstring injuries for at least 3 weeks. Both Tevez and Evans also pick up slight injuries in this game as well. Hopefully they will not be joining Rooney and Evra on the sidelines. With a visit to Bolton coming up this Saturday, Sir Alex have to find the best players available. The Reebok Stadium is not a place United have great times this past few seasons and they are a strong team even now without Anelka. Lets do it this Saturday and be where we should belong, Top of the table!

Aisha is damn hot. This band is mixture of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese. They are Asian version of Black Eye-Peas. All 4 of them are hardworking and talented especailly Aisha. She is previously from the Sunday Girls. To be exact, I remember that she came over Taiwan as a replacement. Now, she is the most successful of all and all this is down to her hardwork. You will never see her flaunting her sexiness in Taiwanese talk show. They have won the best band award and I think they will hit greater heights. Check them out!

The only Cristiano Ronaldo

2009-01-14T23:45:00.003+08:00

Cristiano Ronaldo was named as FIFA World Player of the Year for 2008 on Monday and became the first Premier League player to get the award which he well-deserved.The 23-year-old was in stunning form last term when he helped Manchester United to Premier League and European Cup success hitting 42 goals in the process, and he has added the FIFA World Player of the Year to the prestigious Ballon d'Or (European Footballer of the Year) which he has already received. To ad to all this personal awards, he also won FIFA's Club World Cup recently.

For the FIFA World Player of the Year 2008, he faced competition from fellow nominees Xavi Hernandez, Fernando Torres, Lionel Messi and Kaka. Eventually, Messi finished in second place and Torres came third ahead of fourth-placed Kaka and Xavi. With his outstanding performance in 2008, he deserved all this personal awards and club successes. In all Manchester United fans heart, we hope he can continue to maintain his outstandin performance or even hit a greater height. With the fixtures now coming hard on United, we need him to once again lead us to club success. Viva Ronaldo!!

Fantastic Man Utd

2009-01-12T22:39:00.004+08:00

Oh my Manchester United! We kick Chelsea a**. Last night we beat Chelsea 3-0. Goals from Vidic, Rooney and Berbatov. My man of the match will have to be Nemanja Vidic. The big centre back shine in this match. He lead the back line which was without Ferdinard. Even with young Evans in the back line, Chelsea dont even have any good chances. Drogba was totally shutout. With their performance last night, Chelsea dont even have a chance with United second team. Sir Alex was spot on again. I doubt him for his selection of Giggs and Neville in the starting line-up. But, they were outstanding! Neville was tough and always first to the loose balls. Giggs show his leadership from the middle. Battling hard in defence and always trying to attack with his no-longer fast pace. They are old but their determination and experience are valuable. Carrick, Scholes and Tevez never quite involve in this match and well rested. Next match is this Wed hosting Wigan and Sat we will visit Bolton. If both result goes our way, we will lead the table before Liverpool plays on Sunday. Lets make Mr Benitez eat his words. Come on Devils!!

Mike's Bday Celebration

2009-01-09T23:25:00.012+08:00

Tonight we went to Coca at Taka to celebrate Mike's Birthday. Some of them cant make it because of work. But still those who came enjoyed ourself. Most importantly, the birthday boy enjoyed himself. Same as me, he will be leaving for states this year so this time next year, most of our close friend wont be there to celebrate for him. But no worries, my wife and I will still be around and will organise a celebration for you hah! Back to the dinner, it was a steamboat buffet. We sure ate alot. Especially me hah! The food is nice and I think the price is just right. Its our second time there anyway. Pris and Sufern bought a very nice cake. Not quite sure the name of the cake shop but I know its at AMK, next to Botak Jones! The celebration were full of foods laughters, photos taken and best wishes to Mighty Poh.. Happy Birthday Bro!

Spending time with my love

Happy Birthday Bro!

Birthday Boy: Mike

So shy for what? Dont act lah

What Hurts the Most

2009-01-09T10:36:00.003+08:00

Was going through my disc the other day and found this song. Very nice song and I simply loves it. Was having hard time regards to the song title and the group name. But I remember that the group name was something rascal. So, I try my luck with youtube and yes I found this song. Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most. Thanks youtube. It is a very sad song, just look at the lyrics.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Derby stun Man Utd

2009-01-08T11:05:00.004+08:00

Derby defeat Man Utd 1-0. What a stunner. But, it is only the first leg of the league cup semi-final. They still have to visit Old Trafford for the second leg. I dont think Derby stands any chance unless Sir Alex refuse to use most of his star players. I think he will mix and match again next game but with most stars playing. This weekend we will host Chelsea. Are we going to defend the title will depend much games like this. With Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City to visit Old Trafford as well, United have to win all this important fixtures to ensure they are crowned champion again by May.

Heard this song from 超級星光大道 3. 黎礎寧 was the one that sang this song. She is really a very good singer. She is pretty too. But sad to said, she had passed away. Anyway, Christina Aguilera was the original singer. First time hearing her singing this kind of slow and soft music. To me, her songs are fast songs and those that are damn powerful. Something different so hope you guys like it.

What will happen to a loser(who loses his girlfriend, sucks in his job and only know how to say no) when he say Yes to everything? Good or Bad? This movie will show you so catch it!

Yes Man

2009-01-07T00:18:00.004+08:00

When to watch Yes Man with baby this evening(Tuesday night). Its by Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel. Nice movie but it comes without subtitle. You have to really pay attention to what they say or else you cant catch the joke. For this movie, you will either find it quite funny or very lame. Different people will have different judgement. For me it is funny and with a beautiful babe. I am talking about the lead female actress, Zooey Deschanel.

Zooey Deschanel, beautiful looks and figure.

She is gorgeous and have a great figure. She might look prefectly normal in the movie but I am attracted to her. Baby gonna kill me when she see this. Back to the movies, as what I have mentioned, someone loves this someone hates it. There are some meanings and learnings in this movie too. So, enjoy the show!

United win FA cup easy tie

2009-01-05T09:33:00.010+08:00

Manchester United set up an FA Cup fourth round home tie against Tottenham with a comfortable 3-0 win over Southampton. Goals from Danny Welbeck, Nani and Darron Gibson. This was an easy game from the start even without Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez. Very interesting to see how will Danny Welbeck progress. In this Jan transfer, United bought Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade. Tosic, 21, will sign with immediate effect and wear the No 14 shirt, while an agreement is in place for 17-year-old Ljajic to remain with Partizan for the rest of 2009. Hope that inclusion of this 2 new player will boost our future prospect. Together with Players like Rafael, Fabio, Welbeck, Possebon, Gibson, Foster and Evans, they will be the new faces of Man Utd. Dont forget that Rooney, Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson are all below 25 and with many more years infront of them. Future looks bright in United.

Funniest Guy in AWOF

2009-01-03T17:24:00.005+08:00

Came up with this new polling to find out who is the funniest guy in AWOF history. Like Oscar, I also have 5 candidates and the reason for their selection. Chua CY, always stunned us with his "Chua Chee" way of talking. Neoh SX, never ending jokes from him. He can make a joke from anything trust me. Alvin Wee, his movement, thinking and especially his singing will "kill" us. Also I cant forget about our Nsmen right? So I have 1 candidate. Tan SC, together with his best buddy/another candidate Voo KB, alot of stupid jokes and funny thoughts will be shown! This poll will only last for 1month so guys please vote for them. WHO ARE WE?

Supper on New Year Day

2009-01-02T00:23:00.012+08:00

Went to Sempang Bedok for supper with my usual gang. I was the one who initiate this outing. Whats better than having supper with those closest to you. As usual its prata, roti john, satay, sausages and a few ice milo. To my surprise, Alvin brought along his camera so we got it all pictured down. We even started our discussion on the next outing which is a farewell party for myself, Mike and John. We better plan early because there are always hiccups along the way. Conrad again, karaoke session or try to get a chalet? We end up with no answer but at least we came up with a few ideas. Dont worry, I will follow up on this matter!

法證先鋒II

2008-12-30T12:23:00.007+08:00

终于看完法證先鋒IIDVD. 这是一部很好看的港剧. 它的第一系我也老早就看完了. 我找了很久才从我的朋友那儿借到第二系的DVD. 欧阳震华再一次演法证高及化验师高谚博. 林文龍,蒙嘉慧和钟嘉欣续第一系也演了重要角色. 第二系加了郑嘉颖和佘诗曼. 他门演仪了香港法证, 法医和警察的破案手法和精神. 既精猜又感人, 很好看!

漂亮的钟嘉欣

唯一可惜的是钟嘉欣的戏分在第二系比较少. 但还是直得推见给大家. 所为凡走过必流痕记, 这两部戏就是凡看过必流回亿. 我很期代第三系.

Berba breaks Boro resistance

2008-12-30T11:25:00.002+08:00

Manchester United 1-0 Middlesbrough is the result for the game played this morning. Berbatov scored the only goal in the 69th minute to help United to cut Liverpool's lead to seven points with two games in hand. From the net and I quote, Sir Alex is worried by the misses that his team have in this game. I think he should be because Boro isnt any strong team. Given other team, United might have lost this game and would cost them the title. With Liverpool starting to show championship form, United have to show the kind of football they played last season. With the inclusion of Berbatov, they should be even stronger than last season. Till now, this isnt the case. Arrogant and lost of fighting spirit might have occur in the United players. But still, a win is a win. They must build from this win and remember that they are real king of english football. When was the last time Ronaldo score?

林智賢 - 飊车笑話

2008-12-29T01:02:00.003+08:00

林智賢是台弯一个很搞笑的艺人. 他模仿吴宗憲和證嚴法師最象. 这段片是他模仿證嚴法師告诉年轻人飊车的危险. 里头有一句名言:" 超车如果成功, 会早一分钟到家. 如果超车矢败, 会七天才到家."

Trailers Of Ip Man

2008-12-29T00:46:00.002+08:00

Found this trailer in youtube. Just wana share with those that have not catch this movie. Go and watch it! Catch it in the theatre and you will enjoy the fighting scene. I strongly recommend this movie.

This is Life

2008-12-29T00:05:00.003+08:00

Today was a fruitful day. Baby and I went to Vivo with 2 things in our mind. 1 is to exchange the Levi Strauss's polo T that we bought for Mike and do some shopping for myself. Today was lucky as we manage to get a parking lot in 10min time. I remember the last time I went there on Sunday, it took me about 40min to find one. We exchanged the polo T but with a different design. We also each bought a new pair of jean. It only cost us $99.90 as this is the price stated if you buy 2 items. Then we treated ourself to some coffee and tiramisu at coffee company. I wanted to watch Ip Man. As good wife, baby always give in to me when comes to movies. But, we are unable to get tickets in Vivo so she suggest we purchase it through AXS. True enough, we got our hand to 2 tickets at Tampines Mall. As we have lots of time, we make our way to Marine Parade to check out the exchange rates for US currency. To my surprise, the rates aren't good. Nevertheless, we carried on with our shopping. Baby got herself a new belt and handphone pouch. For me, I bought 1 sweater and polo T from G2000. They are having sales till 4th of Jan so guys, make your way down to the nearest G2000 and start grabbing. Finally is movie time.
It was a fantastic show. Donny Yen once again show us his martial art skills. He really CAN fight. Every damn fight was so brilliantly directed. In the movie whenever Ip Man fights, he is out to kill. Trust me, this movie will be a big hit in Singapore. As it was me that wanted to watch this movie, I felt relieved when Baby told me this was a great movie. A must watch for everyone! After the movie we end the day with a supper at Bedok 85. The Porridge was good. So happy that Bedok 85 is open again. Finally it was time to go back home. A Long day out with great achievements. Thats why I say: This is Life!

Tevez save Man Utd

2008-12-26T23:07:00.004+08:00

Lucky Manchester Untied! Tevez save the devils from a draw against a weak team like Stoke City. Stoke play ugly. United play so bad that I thought they are Stoke City. Both Rooney and Ronaldo are lucky not to be send off. Hopefully they can start to get back their form especially next game is at home against Middlesbrough. Tevez did it again. Even though he start the least game among the top 4 attackers united have, he play fantastic tonight. Chasing every ball and creating many chances and most important scoring the goal. Without Ferdinard, Evra, Rafael and Carrick, united struggles. I really think G.Neville should play lesser game. Giggs and Scholes still not tat bad but maybe as sub. Where is Nani and Andersen! Sir Alex put too much faith in Flecther and he think Ronaldo and Rooney can turn game all by themselves easily. Soccer is play with 11 man so everyone plays a part. He need to educate both Ronaldo and Rooney more. They are losing their head more and more often. This shows that they never put their teammates ahead of them.

Ouch It Hurts!

2008-12-26T21:08:00.005+08:00

Today was a special day for. I should say quite a painful one. I extracted out my wisdom tooth today! I have to because if I dont do so, I might fail my medical and dental FFI test. This is a test for all F15 guys to go through to indicated that we are fit to go to the states.This is the first time I had ever had my tooth extracted out. I am honest. It really hurts. Painful and Bloody. But that was for the 15min in the surgery room. The rest of the times is all numbness. Really thankful to my Dad and my Wife. After my surgery I know I better not drive back home, so my Dad went to the hospital with me. He patiently waited for me just to send me home safely. Thanks Dad! Baby rushed down after her work. With my Dad around she knows I am in great hands but she just want to be there for me when I needed the most. Thanks Baby! Love you. With both their love, I am able to reach home peacefully. From there on, baby took over. She take good care of me. I felt like emporer really haha. My Mum shower me with her love as well. She did it in term of food. She cooked me porrigde when I am finally able to eat. She is like on standby mode, as and when I am hungry, here comes my Mum. Thanks Mum! Even though I still cant enjoy any food now, but at least I have this extracting of wisdom tooth out of my mind. Next up is our blood test!

Christmas'08 Celebration

2008-12-26T20:27:00.015+08:00

Merry Christmas Baby!

Friends Forever!

Mr Mike and Ms Priscilla

Our first try with this WII

Its all about WII, Viwawa and Friends!

This is our dinner!!

We(me, my wife, Mike and Pris) booked two rooms in Conrad Contenial Singapore for our Christmas eve celebration. We checked in around 2 plus with Sufern joining us. She cant join us for the party later in the evening because she wana stay home be a good daughter and wife. We loves the room. One of the room number was my birthday number 2212. Baby is simply in love with the rooms. She also want us to hold our customery wedding here. Seem like my pocket is gonna get a bigger and bigger hole.

Back to the celebration. Really have to thank Zhiyong. He came over with his precious WII. He is well donned up for dragonfly later in the night. Baby and Pris have a great time with the WII. Me and Mike went to Caffour to meet Mud to find food for dinner. We got KFC, Sushi and Platters from Fish&Co. We also bought one Log Cake. We had a feast! After our dinner, Stanley came over to join us. He and friends have their own celebration at Riz Carlton. We just enjoyed ourself with WII and Viwawa. Lots of laughter lots of fun. To end it, we watched a Dvd that I rented early that day. About 2.30am, we head for our bed. The next day morning we gonna attack the breakfast that was prepared for us.

This year christmas was the first for me as a married man. Previous year I would be out there clubbing and drinking. It was a special celebration. There is no liquor at all. Dinner was bought by ourself and in a hotel room instead of spending alot in a restuarant. No music or dancing. Just games like WII and Viwawa. Most important, it was with all my closest friends. Maybe its because my marriage status or just maybe I am getting older, I really does cherish all this precious moments with close ones. This time next year, I will be celebrating in the states. But in my heart, I wont forget this year's celebration.

Punch - Ying Kwa Sia Jai

2008-12-23T00:41:00.003+08:00

Another nice Thai song. This song also has a chinese version. It was sang by Joi Tsai. The song title means more than just sadness. Almost all Thai song that I like are all sad song. Maybe one day 楊宗緯 should give it a try. Ha!

星光四祝釩剛-原諒我

2008-12-23T00:10:00.002+08:00

第一次听到他唱歌. 还满好听的. 一向来都不是很喜欢他. 可能是因为听说他很多不是很好的事. 只知到他是ABC 和爱乱钓马子. 从短片可看出他真的很诚恳请求大家的原諒. 他唱的也满好的. 正所为知错能改, 大家都应该给他一个机会吧.

26th Birthday Celebration

2008-12-22T01:13:00.013+08:00

Thank you Baby!
I Love my Wife

Happy Birthday to me and Kenneth

Thanks Guys!

Had my 26th birthday celebration yesterday at dragonfly. All my close friends turn up. A very big thank you to my wife. She is the one that got me the 2 table. With this, my friends and I were able to enjoy ourself. Thank you darling! My wife and I drank alot. Both went back home damn drunk haha. This is the first time I went clubbing with my status as married haha. It was long time since we last went clubbing. This was the place where I first met my wife. Alot of memories indeed. Thanks to Mike too. He got me the cakes! Thanks to Xiaobai for going there early with us. And big thanks to Chin Beng, Stanley, Mentor, Xinsen, Nick and Cherlyn to turn up. I was also able to celebrate with Kenneth last nite. Totally unplanned. His birthday is on 21st while my is 22nd. Last year this time, we also celebrated together and we each open one cannon. I promise myself next year my birthday, I wont be drinking and all i wan is to have a simple dinner with my wife. Anyway we would be at states next year my birthday.

Fifa Club World Cup Champion

2008-12-22T00:49:00.002+08:00

Yeah, the devils won the Fifa Club World Cup. This is the first time we have won this title. But the sad thing is we got Vidic sent off and this will cause him to miss the first leg againt Inter. Think Sir Alex will start Evans for that game. Rooney is the man again in this game. Scoring the winner. Just hope he can have the form he had earlier and start bang in more goals. Champion once again!

The very best of Jordan

2008-12-21T22:13:00.003+08:00

The best basketball player ever to brace the court. He is every basketball lovers' idol. No matter you are asian, american or european. Michael "Air" Jordan. Just look at the number 1 pick of the clip and you will know why he is called AIR. He is a great leader on the court. Off the court, he is very discipline. Look at his body. No matter how great people says about him, he still seek for improvement. 6 NBA title, numerous MVP and scoring champion, 1 NCAA title, 2 Slam dunk champion and 2 Olympic gold. His team doesnt have many great great player maybe expect Pippen. But, they still win. Reason is not just him. Its his never give up attitude that influence his teammates and his opponents. Even in the course I took in coaching, there are chapters that takes him for an example.

小豬唱泰文歌

2008-12-20T10:06:00.002+08:00

四年前的娛樂百分百. 小豬唱泰文歌. 听的出他是乱唱的. 可是, 还是超好笑的. 这短片是我的老婆无易间找到的. 他跟我一样很喜欢看小豬搞笑的短片. 她最喜欢"Mr.Pig愛說英文 Eason笑翻了".

Champions League Draw

2008-12-20T09:43:00.002+08:00

Oh my! Man Utd is facing Inter Milan. As what I say on my last post on this issue, it would be interesting to see Jose Mourinho to come back Old Trafford. Seems like my wish is granted. Hopefully it will be a defeat return for him. Sir Alex Vs Special Jose. The rest of the english team also have tough draws. Liverpool face Real Mardrid. Chelsea will entertain Juventus and Arsenal will take on Roma. Lets get Champions League started!

我猜之S&H都不放屁的

2008-12-18T15:22:00.003+08:00

Dan Beam-Wela Mai Keuy Por

2008-12-17T13:45:00.005+08:00

This is my favourite Thai song. First heard this song last year Sept during my detachment at Korat. Saw their MV and find this song really means alot. I even bought their album when I went to Bangkok this year Jan. Even though it is a Thai song but I can understand a few lines. I can speak a little bit of Thai too as I stayed in Korat for 6 weeks. During those days, It was so fun because its purely work from 8 to 5. After 5, no other stressful matters like secondary appointments. After work is eat, drink and enjoyment. When come to weekends, all hell will break lose. But still, as a representative of RSAF, we will never do anything stupid. From this 6 weeks, I learn alot of things and it will stay with me till the last day of my life.

Mr.Pig愛說英文 Eason笑翻了

Brandon & Jolynn Wedding Montages

2008-12-15T14:27:00.003+08:00

Our wedding montages. Darling uploaded these into youtube. It was so sweet of her. For our wedding solemnisation, she spend alot of time on this 2 montages. It took her about 1 month from consolidating all photos to trial and error and finally to these. I just want to say Thank You Baby. I am fortunate to found you and eventually married you. I love you and I will take care of you for the rest of your life. This, I promise you.

小豬最好笑的模仿..!! 小豬模仿张学友, 刘德华, 郭富城和黎明. 超象超好笑! 容祖兒笑到不行. 他模仿刘德华真的很象. 100分!

One day at Vivo

2008-12-15T00:51:00.002+08:00

Went to Vivo to shop for winter wear with darling, Mike and Pris. This shopping trip cost me almost $600. First stop, we drop by Traveller World to get a few items. I bought 2 snow caps, 1 set long-john, a pair of gloves, a few pair of socks for myself and 1 cap for darling. All this cost me about $220. Next stop, Timberland. Manage to get one jacket that will come handy when winter comes during Dec. That jacket is casual and really can keep me warm. With Timberland now having 30% discount and another 10% with citibank credit card, I got this aroud $260. Very worth it. Finally trip, we proceed to GAP. Over there I just get a sweater which with discount costs me only $50. To end the night, we settle our dinner at Marche. Nice food and nice place. It was my 2nd time this week there haha. To spend that much within a day was well worth afterall. At least I am progressively preparing myself for my States trip. But I still have a few items to get before I am ready to go! Countdown to St Louis: less than 2 months!

罗志祥(Show) 用泰语唱 Titanic! 超好笑的! 他很有才华又很会摸仿其他艺人. 他又能演又能唱更加能主持.他还很孝顺.小猪, you are the man.

Oh no United!

2008-12-14T12:41:00.003+08:00

Damn, the devils draw 0 -0 at white hart lane. With Liverpool draw at home with Hull, they should have take full advantage of it. But, they failed. Now, Chelsea must be simling... Why does Fergie always play Darren Flecther! Anderson is better than him by miles. The only positive take from this game or this season so far is United have faced all tough opponents away from Old Trafford. Hopefully second half of the season we can win all home games and retain the title.

Preparing for Wedding

2008-12-13T10:44:00.007+08:00

Almost 3 weeks since my wedding solemnisation. The sweet memories are still fresh in my head. I hope to share with anyone who are preparing for their big day and came across this post. I can still remember that it took us 2 long months to prepare. The preparation was tough and stressful but we were lucky to be helped by 2 wonderful person.

Lets start off with our wedding photo shoot. My wife manage to find one bridal shop which was near my house. The name of the bridal shop is Golden Horse Awards Bridal & Studio - Tampines. The first person that we want to thank is Ms Rebecca. She helped us through all preparations and details for a wedding photo shoot. With her help, we managed to get everything done perfectly. She is always there when we needed help regards to any issues. Thanks Rebecca.

Another person that I would like to mention is Mr Denny from Hotel Rendezvous. We had our wedding solemnisation in this hotel. He ensure everything goes according to our plan and help us whenever we come to a cross road. On that day, he assigned someone to follow through the whole process with us. But to our surprise, he make his way down to ensure everything goes well and to congrat us. Thanks Denny.

Russell Peter : Be a man

2008-12-13T10:31:00.003+08:00

Saw this clip during one of the course I attended. The lecturer have tonnes of funny video clips. He show funny clips to us to keep us all awake. This guy Russell Peter is very funny. This is a joke on chinese but he doesnt mean any harm. Lets enjoy.

楊宗緯--新不了情

2008-12-11T23:20:00.003+08:00

The very best of 楊宗緯. Who could ever forget this song. Never mind about his false declaration of his age and not very very handsome looks, damn sure he can sing. Mind you, he has great build and no one can sing those sad love songs better than him. Thats why he is called 催泪歌神.

中文笑话

2008-12-11T23:03:00.002+08:00

我在找笑话时, 找到这个满可爱的笑话. 可千万别觉得我无聊哈哈. 别忘了笑一笑, 能使百病离你远远地.

With this ring, I married you

2008-12-11T21:27:00.003+08:00

We are into the 19th day of our blissful marriage. There will still be quarrels but that is part and parcel of a life long journey with someone you really love. We are really looking forward to our stay in the states and planning for a better future for ourselves. All might be soft plan and rough sketch but thats all that kept me moving everyday. Every movement and every decision that I made today, its a small yet important step for us to reach for a better tomorrow.

Manchester United Draw

2008-12-11T20:44:00.003+08:00

The red devils draw with danish side Aalborg 2-2. Rooney coming up with the equaliser and Tevez scores again. I think Fergie should play Tevez more. Maybe all 3 of them together(Berbatov). A record-equalling 19th Champions League game unbeaten and secured top spot in Group E. With that come the possiblity of facing either Real Mardrid or Inter in the next round. It will be interesting with the return of Jose Mourinho to Old Trafford.

Last day of my leave

2008-12-10T16:18:00.005+08:00

Just came back home after a long day. Its my last day of leave so I got to attend to a few things before works resume tomorrow. I had great session in the gym. Still seem not much improvement but still I wont give up. What I want is not to be as bulky as a bodybuilder. I just hope to beef up and be physically fit. Before that, I went to find Encik Elan, someone that I have the utmost respect, to pass him a small gift from my wife and I. He was unable to attend our wedding on 23rd Nov but still send his gift to congrat us. So thoughtful of him. In my heart, he is always a leader who leads with pride and passion.

10/12/2008, I opened up a new savings account with DBS that will last for 15 years. Since we got married, we were hoping to have our own baby but as we are going to the states soon, we decided to postpone the plan. But still, I open this savings account so that a few years down the road when we have our baby, we can have some savings for any usuage. After so many years of working life, I am ashame that I do not have any savings. But, for the sake of my family, I think I have done something right.

Introduction

2008-12-10T00:29:00.001+08:00

Kind of weird to give an introduction at this point of time because this afternoon I got something to attend to. For those who does not know who I am, my name is Brandon and I am 26. I am happily married and looking forward to have a simple yet beautiful family. Like what was written on my blog's header, I believe in right attitude brings you great altitude. I once heard this from a great man Mr Jeffery Goh who is in his 60s.

In my blog, I will have informations on things that interest me the most. Most important I hope to have feed back and informations shared. This way, everyone that visit my blog will gain something from it.

I am die-hard red devil or what people always say, nothing but Man Utd. Basketball is my the other love as it is in me since I am only 7. Gym and Mahjong are the only past times I have now. Be surprise that I watch dramas too, esp those from HK and One million star show, is the music life I live in. So, everyone can expect my blog having all these.

Last but not least, I love my wife Mrs Jolynn Lim/Lee. Good night.

First day expressing through blogging

2008-12-09T15:38:00.001+08:00

9th December 2008, memorable day indeed. Its my first try with this blogging "thing". For the past few years where blogging was getting great attention, it got none from me. I believe this is for girls. Like a diary. But, things changed. Blogging isnt a girly stuff anymore. It is to an extent that people are earning millions with this. Yah, I dream of to be one of them but hell, its not that simple. For now, I would just to give this superb technology a try and see how far we can go.
