new cam + jasmine bday

It's New Year Eve....type type DC DC...past midnight...become New year liao!!! So....

Wishing all and more a HAPPY chinese new year!!!

May it be a better year for the year of PIG, for all of us! Not a lazy one please.

----------------------------------

Some things just cant get better.

Just after the day i called Canon Hq to order my new camera, the next morning i got a sms from them, informing that she's ready for collection. How great! Just nice to make it to Jasmine bday chalet...

And here is it... A sparking brand new Canon Powershot A710 IS, with image stabilizer, 2.5"LCD, 6x zoom, made in Japan, all and more at 26.71% off the list price
(Thanks to the Canon trade-in program, whereby they still take in my faulty old camera, with body wear and more than 8000 photos taken...)



And not forgetting, they still top it up with additional 1GB SD card and GP 2500 battery charger! That's really hell lot of kit and discount.

Marketing taught us Customer Loyalty. Canon certainly will see loyal customers coming back.

new cam + jasmine bday

So in continuation, we was at Harbourfront Canon Hq. Right after that went straight down to Jasmine's bday at downtown east. Wah, ECP jam with stomach gruning is not good...

Anyway we made it there. Although time spent at chalet wasnt too long, but still it was quite a fun time there. It had been since some period that I havent got so much fun and playing and posing for photos....from the small gathering that had assemblied.



HAPPY 21st Birthday to Jasmine Tan!
Thanks for your invitation! Finally you are 21 year old already huh! Still as pretty. Gee.
....and nice work decolating the cozy place!! I like the helium balloons ^-^

(more photos at the old usual Yahoo Album --- click on that rusty link on the left panel. Go find at sparky new folder "Bday-Jasmine 21st".......Oh man, havent touched this album for ages.)

mock exam and few days later...

First, for those that knew and are concerned, dont worry, we are ok already.


Remember during O-level times? First time writing papers for the British? Was told must write clearly and use black pens... 'cos Blue will be too bright over at snow filled british land...

Well, years later, we are still writing to the British... First paper of mock exams (management paper) on monday night... which, well, i'm still using a black pen, but produced a perfectly ugly handwriting... havent written for 3 hours straight for like so long...

For the paper not that bad i guess, except for the lots of "smoking" around... which wasnt too uncommon among others too... Obivously caused by the disability to remember all facts within this period of time. ;^p

Anyway the next one is the 28th feb, econs. Got quite some time to the day, so for now take some break this few days before CNY bah.
(It's time...to pack up my room...)


Then V-day... spent a nice evening yesterday ^-^


Today...:
If you guys remembered, i'm been without camera for some period already... Thus a ring to Canon to ask whether they still want my faulty cam? Surprise, surprise, with a ring I can trade her in for a brand new with a huge discount. New toy coming in days, so watch this space.

And afternoon, father at home, i free, so washed our dear van (finally) for the new year:


Before wash, see so dull -- At the bay -- And 20 cents for a 40 seconds of water


At height of 183cm, you need ladder -- And rim is freed from brake dust again ;)


Done! Sparking clean again ^-^

The hundred-th Post!!

Finally... after some posts here and there, i have reached my 100th post.

So in this season of, erm, milestone-ing, here's summary over the years..thru the eyes of my handphone.. Yup, all the photos u see below are from Nokia, which had never seen the light outside... (that is, never been uploaded or shown anywhere else.)

15 dec 05 -- A nice dinner with derrick and dom, and taken this photo of sunset. Yup, cant expect a great shot actually from Marina Square, food court.
(those were the days of NS... so carefree...so relax...)

29 dec 05 -- On way back from kallang office in colleague's car, near singpost HQ.. quite "effect-full" rite?

8 jan 06 -- Taken a shot of the rental car just minutes before the return of the key... ok, people first time rent car ok... some more not some shitty car lor.

23 jan 06 -- Yes, in the mood of lunar New year... some colleague decorated his parition... must had betted on 4D.. (Oh yes... 2007 CNY is coming soon...)

26 feb 06 -- How free can i be then, walking along Jurong East interchange during Date and taken this photo of intercrossing MRT tracks... but not too bad rite?

5 april 06 -- Finally shifted to new base. And finally a nice and big table all for myself! And all these and more, just 2 weeks before i ORD. Damn.

7 april 06 -- KTV! K-box! It's thursday night and you sing until it closes way past mid-night, just for $10+ !! Pix taken at 1.08AM... see how died everyone is.... but can do that again?

26 jun 06 -- The last last shot of our Toyota litace Van... with the tow-truck coming soon to pick it up. Had been a totally reliable roundabout since 1999...and had seen so much including me as a lousy P-plate driver (back then) ...Blame the rising cost of Petrol (and tat's why the new Caddy van is Diesel...)

23 july 06 -- The end of my first long temp job, the courier van driver. This is the hdb season parking disc, taken before the van is returned.
Oh, how i miss the freedom of mobility....

8 Oct 06 -- Bought a new pair of Puma leather shoes. Ok, it's my first puma product, but hey, their box is really interesting lor.

9 Oct 06 -- In school! Management Lecture, taken by a mate. Candid shot... Mr byron next to me, obviously unobvious of the shot.

11 Oct 06 -- Coz of the bday chalet, got to dig out old photos to pin on the Memories board.... and yes!!! this is the young me!! Damn, where did the dimples went...
And amid the photo hunt, found lots and lots of childhood memories with my sis... what an afternoon...missing childhood.

12 Nov 06 -- Shot of our very own Caddy, below own flat. Thereby becomes the new Handphone Wallpaper.

7 Jan 07 -- Just to show how kind my dad is. Been buying up 3-for-$1 tissues from the elderly selling at hawker centres...til the van is full of 'em. Hey it's not a bad thing k...

11 Jan 07 -- Zhiwei Bday!! And in celebration got ourselves a nice Honda City for the day. Minus all the rain + traffic jam it was a cruising fun day~


14 Jan 07 -- School club's Camp Discovery... A camp to discover leaders and yourself. I was there, and certainly discovered alot about myself. A vocal person who stood out, i'm not. Hmmm...

19 Jan 07 -- ...And then Dinner and Dance @ Hilton hotel! Celebration for all events done for the first year and the handover ceremony for the new Exco, discovered from the discovery camp. Great to see all the deserving guys make it up there, congrats!

20 Jan 07 -- And lastly...another rainy day during the weekend, outside Orchard MRT... Can someone do something about the massive human jam???


4 feb 07 -- Went the new Central at Clark Quay.. and the place is nice! Worth a revisit when all shops are up. Took a shot at the building carpark, and of coz another one of the van (coz surroundings look like where magazine will go for photoshoot)

5 feb 07 -- My sis Motorola V3x finally came! Price was a great bargain at Singtelshop online mid-night discount... but pumpkin colour was a debate. Anyway, she happily added the Deathnote "L" sticker, which was bought way in advance in anticipation of the phone arrival. Finally "L" saw the light.


...And Yup that all for summarising... Especially after the digi cam is gone, guess more shots will end up in the phone memory...

But no matter where, photos will always be a great way to look how had things progress in life i guess?



Til then, now is time to back to the Study Guides....
Argh, mock exams!!!
