Phone options?

This is the only phone which caught my eyes when i was at the HP shop yesterday. I like the shape and colour of the phone. However it only comes with a 2 MP camera and the main attraction of the phone is that its a walkman phone, with Media Player, able to play MPEG4 / H.263 / 3GPP / RealVideo8 / WMV 8/ WMV 9 files. I dun think i need this feature as i just got my Samsung MP3 player... So other than the outlook of the phone, nothing else attracts me...

Initially my first choice was Samsung U700. However upon looking at the real phone, i find it too "manly" and alot of ppl complained about its "too" sensitive touch pad. Thus dropped the idea. But the price of this phone really drops alot. From at least $300+ in Oct to now, $68 with 2 yrs plan...so is there a problem with the phone??

So wat u guys suggest?? Any recommendations?

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope everyone had a great christmas and lots and lots of presents.

Guess what, my Hp batt gave up on me today! The battery came loose and i ended up have to use tape to secure it :(

So ugly right...hai...

Law is working today, but luckily uncle Sing is free to celebrate Christmas with me. Orchard road is closed today and town would be super packed. So we decided to keep away from town and ended up we had lunch at Jack's Place.


And look wat i got myself for christmas! A pink 1G MP3 cum FM radio from Samsung. Just love that pink :D




And christmas present from Law

Happy Dong Zhi

Literally meaning the "arrival (至) of winter (冬)”, Dong Zhi is the second most important festival of the Chinese calendar, and is considered the thanksgiving of the Chinese calendar. Dong Zhi is the last festival of the year. Coinciding with the winter solstice, it is a time for the entire family to get together to celebrate the past good year. Glutinous rice balls known as Tang Yuan (汤圆) are cooked and eaten to signify unity and harmony within the family.

Happy 6 mths to Trishelle

Today, i would be having 2 steamboats in 1 day! Firstly, its exactly Trishelle's 6th month birthday , thats why sis decided to have a mini bday cum christmas celebration @ her house. Its also a long awaited steamboat gathering which she has mentioned way before Trishelle was born..lol

Look at all the presents i got for my family. The log cake was from Jack's Place.

All the ingredients ready to be eaten!!


See, my granny so happy with her food :D


My BIL, Dad and Mom

We had a great lunch. Been a long time since we have all last sat down for lunch together. After lunch, its present giving out time!!

Trishelle is special, cos she got 2 presents!!! The other one is from her Po Po.

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to u, happy birthday to Trishelle, Happy 6 mth to u...opps...its a christmas cake, not bday cake :P

me with our little princess!!

And lastly a family photo..omitting someone inside..sad..

After that, i had to rush home and down to Tanglin shopping Centre to Chong Ching's Magic Hot Pot for another round of gift exchange and steamboat with my secondary school frens. Its seems to become a tradition that we always have steamboat for our Christmas celebration :D But unlike last year, for this year's gift exchange, we had decided and draw lots to see who would buy for who (instead of last year whereby we would buy the gifts first and then draw lots on the day itself). This year i got Qingyou. And guess wat, he is buying for me too!!! Haha..so coincident.

Guoheng, Lifang and me

The gals

Me presenting the present to Qingyou..lol

See no evil, hear no evil, say no evil?? Effectively, 3 monkeys (cos we are born in the year of monkey)..lol

A Group photo with our present!

The steamboat was a bit disappointing as its not as spicy as it used to be. Maybe also because ia was already quite full after the steamboat lunch. And by the end of dinner, i was bursting with food!! Haa..think i had enough steamboat for this whole year!! But overall, i had a great day giving and exchanging presents!

Bday celebration

Xuehui and Jiahui celebrated my bday for me at Changing Appetite @ Marina last wednesday. I was late cos i was stopped by the Mango sale at Suntec!!! Couldnt resist and bought a top. :P We ordered a few main course and shared.

Seafood soup

I have this aunt (auntie Janet) who can really cook. Everytime when she cook something special, she would bring it to my place. I just loved her seafood soup!!! Its specially tasty with lots and lots of ingredients! I just done an hr of hula hoop exercise after finishing one bowl of this (with rice):

Yummy!!

A trip to the museum

Cant remember when was the last time i stepped into the musuem...or have i ever been to the museum before? Anyway, just went there last weekend with uncle Sing. According to him, it has just finished the renovation work. We reached there around 2pm and bought tickets for 2 exhibitions which cost $15 per pax. They have this very cool gadget which is called a "Companion". In the exhibition area, there are numbers on the floor. So when u see the number. just keyed it into your companion and it would tell you about the exhibits that are in that area. Its like your personal tour guide.

The Companion

It took us almost 2 hrs to walk through the "Singaoire History" exhibition! Thus when we came out, its abt 5pm le. After that, we went to the small exhibits, thinking that we would still have time to go for the Greek exhibitions. But while we were still looking thru the small exhibits, the museum suddenly announced that the Greek exhibits is closed!! Upon checking then we realised that they closed at 6pm!! Oh no, we paid abt $8 for that exhibition and we didnt manage to go!!

Anyway, the museum is quite nicely done up. Got historical mood...lol

Nice ceiling. So victorian style

Greetings from Cruz Teng (Yes 933 radio station)

Qn: Who dare to sit on a potatoe.
Ans: Nan(2) Zi(3) Han(4)

Law had gave me this riddle just last week. And this morning when I was on my way to work, Cruz Teng from Yes 933 radio asked this qn and I sms in my ans. Then in just a while, he called me!! Haha, I was totally shocked. Cos I have smsed into the radio station a few times before and he never called.

Cruz: Hi Jacey, this is Ting Zi Yong. So whats your ans.

Me: Nan Zi Han

Cruz: Why nan zi han?

Me: Cos nan zi han, gan zuo gan dang (or in riddle sense, gan dang is potato in hokkien).

Cruz: Correct ans! And can you sms us your address, cos we gg to send you a box of Turkish delight. (He just came back from Turkey)

And my ans was recorded which was broadcasted out a few mins later…haha totally unexpected! He didnt even mentioned about giving out prizes for the riddles that he asked. He just asked on air and request ppl to sms in... Hee...Now happily waiting for my prize.

BenQ

Am auditing BenQ these 2 weeks. Its one of my favourite client as the accounts are clean, clients are nice and location is good. When the office is nice too. Previously we were given a meeting room, but this year, the meeting room is occupied, so we were made to sit outside. The table which they gave me is facing the window, over looking the DHL balloon. The scenery may not sounds nice, but someone who has been working in tuas near the shipyard for the past 3 weeks, whereby everyday the only things i see are huge cranes, dirty tugs, factories, this would seems heaven.

At least it looks like civilization, with tall buildings, trees and traffic!! Haha...sometimes i can just stare out of the window and day dream.... the product manager also very nice. Just the other day, he gave us some table calendar, BenQ's Mascott and we even had log cake !

Its a lion

The log cake has very rich chocolate taste. Must remember to ask them where brand is it from..

Durian durian

Did a test on law the other day and luckily he passed it..hehe. Story: Meeting uncle sing for dinner the following day, so we are discussing what to have for dinner:

Uncle Sing: Do you have any cravings?

Me: Feel like eating chilled durians

Uncle Sing: If wan, i help you to buy and put in the fridge tomolo?

In my heart i was thinking, wah so nice! So i msg law:

Me: Feels like eating chilled durian

Law (replied in less than 1 min): Meet you at Geylang lor.

Cant remember what i replied. But he followed and typed:

Law: U go buy den chill it in the freezer lor.

Almost fainted after reading his reply. But knowing Law i can predict thats more or less his ans lah...so i never say anything. So after he knock off and is on his way home, like ususal, he would call me and we would chat...me never suspect anything, then he suddenly said, "i meet you at ur place, downstair. Bought you durians." I was stunned!! Haha..never expect him to actually go and buy... :D

Bad bad day!!

Super bad day today. Firstly, didnt know that today is the annual Standard Chart Marathon....the whole of Shenton Way is closed to buses (even though i can still see cars going into Robinson road?) Ended up i have to walk all the way in from International Plaza to Hong Leong building.

Secondly, purpose of coming back to work today is to review my junior's work. As we pull out from the job last friday and monday i would be starting a new one, so i need to finish all my work for the last job and submit to my manager...when i reached office, i realised my junior has not submitted his work. On calling him, then he told me he is on his way back to office to finish his things. So here i am in office, waiting for him to finish his work so that i can review...hai.........

Kill me pls...

Been working with this colleague of mine for the past 3 weeks. Those whom i have chatted on msn would know that i am complaining abt him asking stupid qns...but then i can never predict that under all these stupid qns...his basic accounting knowledge is also a big question mark. Note here that i said basic accounting knowledge. Simple double entries could be extremely confusing for him!! Tell him he is wrong and he still dare to argue with me...another 2 more days and i am done with him. Pls pray i dun loose my temper...

One min of slient

Condolences to the family and frens of the 5 dragon boaters.
