Happy 41st Birthday!

Yes, It's Singapore's 41st Birthday, as well as my wife's, though she is not that old... yet :-) Had a nice Birthday lunch with the family, before sending them to my in-laws' place where the kids gather together yearly to watch the fireworks display on the 40th floor in Toa Payoh. Guess, I have to miss it this year.

Sitting at Harry's Pub in Changi Airport T2 now, waiting for my flight to BKK, and watching the National Parade on the big screen here.....

It's been a long and hard way, for us to be where we are today. Remembered seeing somewhere along the performance, a big scroll saying...." Our Island of Opportunities". Perhaps, perhaps. No matter what, this is still home, so got to say I am still proud of my roots!

Strive on Singapore!!!!
......... Dedicated to my friend, Jewie.. Hee Hee... How dah?

Haze, Haze, Haze!

Arrived in Jakarta this morning, after an hours' delay on board. Some bloody guy checked in his luggage, but never made it on board. As usual, all bags unload, found the "Orphaned" luggage, and we were on our way.

On the way in to our Hotel, yuks... Haze at it again.... Hopefully, it stays here and not drift back home. I'll be outta here in 2 days.

Back to S'pore for National Day, and of course, mi wifey's birthday... but she's gonna blow, when she hears that I have to be in Bangkok the same night, after our dinner plans. Got an urgent meeting on Thursday morning.

Sigh... Talk about timing!

Bunny Out of Hell Gates?

Just dropped off my girl for her Piano class. Parked the car so that I can get a pack of teh tarik. Yeeeks! A bunny popped out of nowhere and into my side mirror. Almost rolled over it under my back tyre. WTF! Must be some kids letting their pet bunny run loose.

Got out of my car, trying to figure out what the heck is happening. Walked over to the left side back tyre.. Wow... Had the shock of my life! Tell me where this came from.. Some bloody animal abuser must be at it again..... Poor thing. How I wished the same was done to the ears of this evil-doer! Grab a quick picture and let it on his own....

Kings - If you ever read this post, tell me, is this one of the cousins of your "Security Guard Bunny"?

Golf Again, with a Big Bang!

Date & Time: 05 August 2006, on a beautiful Saturday morning
Venue: Daiman 18 Golf Club, JB
Location: Hole 16 (I think)
Cart Number: 44 (No wonder)

Incident:
Finished teeing off, wanting to drive on for our second shot, cos me and my bro both got a 1 on for this Par 3 hole. On a slope, released brake, stepped on accelerator.... shit, no power and cart started to roll back.
Stepped on brake, cart continues to roll. Stepped on brake harder, cart came to a slow halt, and still rolling down. WTF, both of us jumped out and pulled the bloody cart to prevent it from going over the pavement...... Funny siah! Recalling our position, we had a good laugh!
OK, Bro, hold on while I called the clubhouse.... Within 3 minutes, help came, in the form of another cart. Shifted everything from cart 44 to 76, and we moved on. Nothing happened!

Tee-off at last hole, bloody cart 76 started to jerk... Battery Flat.. KNN. Called clubhouse again and came another cart.....

The best part.... I was required to sign on the "insurance claim" form for cart 44.
Me: "Sign for what?"
Fat lady at clubhouse: "Formality sake, claim insurance"
Me: "Claim for what? No one injured, cart 44 was pulled back on track and driven back to clubhose"
Fat lady: "Oh, just for record"
Me: " Oh, OK"
Fat Lady: " IC Please. For photocopy"
Me: " No farking way. Gimme the damn form, I will fill in"
Fat Lady passed me the insurance form. Took a look. It says somewhere there "Claim for Gearbox"
I filled in some particulars and on the "Cause of Damage", I scribbled - NOTHING DAMAGED. NO INJURY AND CART WAS DRIVEN BACK TO CLUBHOUSE FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET!"

I just love this Game!
