Maid Service

Yet another interesting advert that I saw on http://www.share-accomodation.sg/:



Don’t you think it's kind of looking for a maid? And furthermore, this 'maid' still have to pay to stay with the 'owner'! Lol...

Blood Donation?

Was just chatting with my dear Han the other day, and her's a print screen of our conversation:



It would totally sound wrong should one with an overactive imagination should chance upon it while at my laptop with its very stubborn spacebar. Lol!

We were actually just talking about something very simple: Blood Donation. For more information: http://www.hsa.gov.sg/publish/hsaportal/en/health_services/blood_donation.html

We're now looking for a blood drive to donate blood (Just simply to lazy to travel to HSA). Anyone know of any that's going to happen soon?

Wet Wet Weekend

It's been a wet wet weekend thus far, great for sleeping in and not doing anything much! And that's exactly what I've been doing, due to the mad drinking session on Friday and Sat... Thanks to Herbert and Kenneth!

Friday was supposed to be a rest day, but was invited to FHM's Threesome Party by Herbet in the afternoon, and since I've not met him in such a long time, I just tagged along! Meeting place was at Liang Court, whereby I saw an interesting shop:



Big Sign eh? Lol... Anyway, the FHM Party wasn't that much of a fun, though I met some friends there. Hung out at FashionBar after the show as Bert's friends are heading over to MOS that night too. See Pre and post drinks picture:

Snuggled in the coach for the whole of Staurday. Still had the sour taste of alcohol in my mouth when I awoke, hence the downing of water and binging of Bak-kwa, something that usually worked... Lol! Unfortunately, it didn't, not as well. Hence, the falling back into the couch to doze, movie watch and repeat the cycle.

Till the very last half hour, I dragged myself out of the couch to ready myself for Kennth's Birthday Celebrations. It was held at Sketches at Robertson Quay, and here's the only group photo that the camera managed to capture before being low on battery (yet again).

Good Service from Ezlink Singapore!

I'm impressed with the Ezlink Singapore's service!

As a person who has a pretty high standard of service, it is definitely not easy to impress me!
I've submitted a query with regard to auto topup of the ezlink card on Ezlink Singapore website, asking whether it was possible to preset the topup amount to S$100 instead of S$50 when the value of the card hits negative value.

About 2 minutes after I've hit the submit button, a representative from Ezlink Singapore called me on my mobile with regard to my query. Other than informing me that it is not possible, the representative told me the reason behind the limitation, as well as informing that should I wish to topup to the desired amount, I am able to do so at any of the topup machines and do so via Cash or NETS payment.

This kind of service makes me very happy, as I do not have to wait for the whole day before getting my query answered.

Great Job, Ezlink Singapore!

Song Title

Anyone know the name of the song in the following video?

If you do, do let me know! =) Thanks!

Food and Friends

Friday: Met up with Valerie (ie-ie-ie-ie) for the first time ever since she left the company end of last month.

Had wanted to head over to Popeye's at Singapore Flyer to have the dinner, but as we were feeling too lazy, we decided to hunt for dinner around the City Hall area instead. (Read: Raffles City / Suntec / Marina Square).

Decided on Tomo Fine Dining as our dinner place. Nope, we didn't have 5 course fine dining meal that cost a bomb. It was instead a Japanese restaurant whereby we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.





How can there not be any desserts when girls meet? =) Chocz Chocolate Fondue... Yummy!



Saturday was a funny day. Neon (my poly group of group leaders for freshmen Orientation), were supposed to meet at East Coast to go for some outdoor activites, namely blading, cycling etc. Meeting time was at 3pm.

As it started raining at about 2.30, Han, our beloved organiser, called up whoever that has confirmed the attendance on Facebook just to find out that majority of them are still at home due to the rain, save for one. We couldn't find Kaisheng, as his phone batt was flat. 0_o

So the poor organizer had to cab down with Yisheng (who is normally the most punctual guy to turn up for any meetups) in order to find him at the appointed meeting place. However, there was no sign of KS anywhere!!

According to Daniel, KS went to the meeting place, but doubled back to his god-mother's place as his batt was flat.. =S

Oh well, we ended up having dinner at Kenny Rogers at Suntec instead. I would say that it's a pretty good turnout: abt 10 of us! And of course, having fun and laughter throughout the dinner was just as entertaining, and here are our 2 main entertainers:







Attendance Call: ChangYong, Zaini, Yisheng, Kaisheng, Connie, Han, Eunice, Joanne (Gatecrasher!), and missing from the group shot, Ivan (ok, he's in the pic above) & gf.


Our dear friend who went to charge mobile phone, and did not SWITCH THE PHONE ON while charging! Grrr...


Anyway, Kenny Rogers at Suntec has bookshelves whereby they place real books over there for the customers to read! There's Chicken Soup for the Soul, Lonely Planet, Encyclopedias, Kid's Books, and many more!

PS: In case you were wondering, I did turn up, just that I went to Parkway Parade at 4 instead! LOL...

Change of Service Provider...

I want to change Service Provider!!

I'm with Singtel now, and I want to change to StarHub!

Reason? Very simple, SingTel is not giving me the service that can keep it at the top of the telco war. I've started to have problems with them the very last time I lost my phone, which would be around Mar08, I think.

With quite a number of problems that I faced with the replacement SIM card, which includes but not limited to:

  • Non SMS Sending (I can send an SMS in the morning at 9am and the message is still in out outbox at 6pm)
  • Lagging SMS Receiving (People sent SMS to me at 11am, and I only receive the message at 2pm)
  • Weak/Lack of reception (I've tried with O2, Nokia phones. No reception)
  • Auto restarting of the mobile phone (Have checked, not the mobile phone problem)
After calling the SingTel Customer Care hotline many times to feedback the problem, finally one CSO that I spoke to said, "Think the batch of SIM cards that we gave for the replacement SIM card was faulty". And guess what? He asked me to head down to any of their shops to get a replacement SIM card. There was no apologies, no damage control etc etc etc.

That irritated me. But this is not all. Upon contract expiry, all they offered was either: Getting a new phone at a cheaper price or $4 off monthly bill for 24 months. *Note: Both comes with a 2 year contract.

So, a customer of 10 years is only worth $96. Oh well, in that case, I might as well switch over to M1 or StarHub.

M1 has 35% discount when one has 4 lines under the subscriber name.
StarHub? They've got this Choose Freedom program, whereby you choose your Terms and Conditions to jump ship over to join StarHub. Furthermore, there's points accumulation to change for vouchers etc.

Since I'll not be signing for so many lines, StarHub is obviously my choice, and of course, the fact that M1's bills irritate the hell out of me does not help it much either.

Of course, I'd have made my Bid for Freedom already. Today's the day whereby I'll know if I get to switch over to StarHub on my terms, which are as follows:





But one funny thing is... I placed the bid after 14Jul08, while over at the results page it was stated that I would know of the outcome on the 14Jul08... Does it mean that StarHub can turn back the clock?!?

Dark Eye-ringed Bee?

Another weekend of great fun and lack of sleep!

Not that I'm complaining, but that means that I've got cut down my weekday socializing, for at least 2 weeks in order to rest and look well rested!

Friday, attended an Emerald hill group event: Absolutely Black held at Dbl O with Rayson. Saw a lot of old old friends there, friends that are active in the night entertainment scene (that sounds so sleazy), had total fun! Best thing is, I was home slightly after midnight! I can't believe it! =P

Saturday, Michelle's Party! Headed back to Dbl O again, drank and danced the night away. Evidence? See what happened to my boots:





I guess that if we'd been there longer I'll be shorter? Cos I would have danced my legs away! =D

Sunday: Kaisheng's birthday! And know what, he sent a formal invitation over! I think he got it printed at the printers, u know? Together with a map, shuttle bus directions on how to get over there.



Of course, being a chalet, and one of the fellow gamblers, we mahjong-ed till wee hours in the morning. With only 1 hour of sleep, I headed back to office. Can't believe that I survived Monday. =P

What we got him as a present? Portable mahjong set! Comes complete with a ‘table’ and tile support (just like Scrabble)! Very nice, so much so that it makes me want to get a set for myself too!
