Bored…

It’s been almost another month since I last updated this blog, and as usual, there’s nothing interesting going on at the moment.

Well, except for the fact that I’ve changed my telco operator from Starhub to Circles.Life. So, at S$48 per month, I’m getting 23GB data. Heh. How nice is that? I can stream Dota 2 matches on the go anytime I want now, without worrying about my bundled data going burst.

Well other than that…. everything’s the same. Bored at work, bored at home. Busy, yes, but still bored. Got myself a small backpack for work from Taobao, to ease the load off my left shoulder coz those one-shoulder bags are just making my shoulder hurt.

Ahhh my life’s so routine and predictable that there’s absolutely nothing to write about. Oh geez.

Anyway, it’s spring! So it’s time to change the side background again, yay!

Monthly Update!

And I’m pleased to say I’ve written the Hong Kong trip journal! Huehue… it’s a half-assed effort though. I’ve been to Hong Kong so many times already, that I really got bored just writing about it. Nevertheless, it’s done, it’s up, and it’s here.

Nothing much lately, just that I’ve already bought the airtickets to Taipei this November. Gonna save up more money now – there’s still the Finland trip that I owed Reko and his sister! Won’t be going for any staycations or short holidays from now till the Taipei trip end of this year. So hopefully I can save a bit of money here and there.

Back!

Well heyyyyyy I’m back!

Back from Hong Kong, actually. Haha.. my annual pilgrimage! Btw I’ve already finished up the Japan blog – you can read it here. It has all the links to the various day-posts. The write up is a little hasty, but hope you’ll at least enjoy reading and viewing the pictures!

Now that I’m back from Hong Kong, I wonder if I should post up another travel post regarding the Hong Kong trip. I have been there so many times already though! I’ll think about it, haha.

Came back on Thursday, and worked my ass off on Thursday night to clear my work as for the first time, I did not work while I was on holiday. I continued clearing my emails and invoices on Friday, before heading to meet Bruno in the evening for the movie John Wick: Chapter 2. Not a bad movie, not bad at all. Actually all the action and stunts are very believable. I was quite impressed. :3

Went to TCM today and then straight to office to finish up my work again. Argh tired as hell. Tomorrow meeting Bruno again to watch DOTA 2 SLI Starladder season 3 finals. No rest for the weary. T_T

Mini Update

Just a mini update – I’m heading to Hong Kong this Friday for 7 days! It’s almost like my annual pilgrimage, lol. Though I should really finish up my Japan trip blog! Damn I should stop procrastinating….

Tribute to Heibao

Bruno had to make the hardest decision today – to euthanize Heibao due to his liver failure. I can’t even imagine how he’s feeling right now, when I’m almost tearing every minute or so here in the office every time I think about it.

One thing I’m very sure though – Heibao had lived a fulfilling life. He had the whole Sng family loving him, giving him the freedom that he needed, while taking good care of him. Every living creature has to go at one point, you and I as well. That’s why we always say – live life to the fullest. I’m sure Heibao did.

Message to Bruno: Wipe your tears, be brave and smile. And thank Heibao for coming into your life. (And mine, somewhat.) You have loved him dear and cared for him with all your heart, and I’m sure he loved you too.

Finally A Decent Update

Well Happy New Year!

I’ve finally finished my FY2016 closing, did all the reconciliations etc… and now I finally have some free time!

I’ll probably be writing up the Japan trip journal soon (gonna take some time!), but generally the trip was cold (colder than I expected!) yet relaxing. Don’t really wanna hide anything so yeah, the person who went with me on the trip was Bruno. Nope, we are not together (you wouldn’t believe how many have been asking this). We are not sleeping together either. Okay, literally speaking, we are, considering we do share a bed now and then at staycations or holiday, but we don’t touch each other. (Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Those who know me very well will know that it’s perfectly possible.) We are really very good friends, that’s all, and we respect our friendship. After 2 failed relationships, I kinda realised that being very good friends don’t mean it should naturally develop into something romantic. In fact, it can kill off the friendship if the romanticism turns sour. So I didn’t want that to happen between Bruno and I, hence our friendship is going to remain as it is now. He isn’t interested in a relationship either, because he felt he couldn’t contribute much to it. He is, after all, just an artist and artist positions are being exploited badly here. His salary is really rather low, and he felt it’s unfair for the girl if he couldn’t provide much for her.

I was supposed to be going to Finland, but that will have to be shelved for quite a bit because we have plans for other places. I’m still saving up bit by bit for that Finland trip though! I would love to bring Bruno to Finland too, I think he will love it there as well. And hopefully to introduce him to Reko, and let these two artists talk their hearts out. Both are passionate when it comes to what they are doing… to the point of sticking to it even though it’s not working out as nicely as they wanted it to be in life. Maybe these two can work together in some projects or something… I don’t know. One can hope! :D

I missed Finland quite a bit… and I missed Reko, his mom and his sister quite a fair bit too. Why is it always so expensive to travel to Europe? =(

Happy New Year!

Aaaaahh happy 2017!

Geee I am so busy lately until i haven’t been updating my blog much. I haven’t even did ANY write up at all for the Japan trip. Oh geez I really need to sit down and put everything aside to write that trip journal down at some point.

But for now, I’ll need to get back to my work first. Dang why is this year so busy! =(

I’m Back!

So I’m back from Japan!

It’s a wonderful, relaxing trip, and I was so amazed by how clean the country is, how punctual their trains are (to the exact minute, goodness me), how systematic everything is, and how generally polite everyone was. Oh, and did I mention I love their warm toilet seats? And how amazing their toilet technology was? I think the only thing I kinda dislike about Japan is that their toilet paper was sooooo thin. Okay, it’s made from recycled paper and it makes it easier to flush down the toilet bowl, but still, it’s so horribly thin that I felt guilty pulling so much of it just to wipe myself, lol.

But yeah, I’ll probably find some time to do the trip journal with pictures! Hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to do it.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas, everyone! =)

One More Week!

To my Japan trip!

OMG suddenly it seems to be coming fast.

Will we be able to catch the trains? Will we have trouble navigating around on our own? Geeeeeez, so many burning questions, but only can be answered when we are there.

Hope everything will be fine!

Update, update!

Right! So I haven’t really been doing much lately, to be honest. Just playing WoW (thanks to the WoW anniversary XP buff that’s gonna end tomorrow) whenever I’m free, and listening to radio dota in the meantime.

I’ve finally spent the $200 Fraser Mall Giftcard that my insurance company gave me last year, and I used it to buy Fitbit Alta. It’s actually quite interesting, and it kinda really motivates me to walk more in order to reach the goal / milestones. I even wore it to sleep because it’s pretty interesting the way it tracks my sleep. It tells me how long did I sleep for, how many times did I actually wake up during the period (and I didn’t even know about it) and how many times I was restless throughout the sleep. The bands on the Alta are interchangeable too, so I’ve bought a few more colours off from Taobao. God knows when they will arrive, but I guess I’m not in a hurry to get them.

So yup, I’m now a proud owner of a fitness tracker! Can strike that Charge 2 off my wishlist already, lol.

Two more weeks to Japan trip! Suddenly the trip seems so near… Not exactly sure if that’s a good thing. =/

Meh, I should be more positive. >_<
