Cruel Act

This was not what I have witnessed last saturday on the road.

Instead, two small dogs (could not remember the breed) were standing freely and enjoying the breeze on the legs rest of the scooter when the driver is riding the scooter on the road. It was not funny or cute at all. At that moment, I was shocked to see such incident. How could the driver be so irresponsible? What if the two dogs saw a passing dog somewhere and jumped off the scooter? CRUEL ACT!! I should have taken down his scooter number and report it to the police. Simple hate the sight..Unbelievable.. May justice bring this guy to prison..

By the way, the dogs in the photo looks cute. I saw the similar breed before in Orchard and taken a photo with it before. It is actually the same size. Similar dog can be found in one of the apartments in Orchard near border as well. Everytime when I drove passed the apartment, I will sure peep through the window to look out for the dog. The sight of him brighten up my day.

The Dive Instructor

Beware of the shop name known as fusionSCUBA situated at 395 Jalan Besar Unit #04-01 Singapore 209006. It is just a level or two above the massage parlour.

This shop is owned by Raymond Seet Yong Hwee, a short, plump and tanned coloured guy who run his business alone. His PADI instructor no is 478863. Met up with him few months ago during the last dive fair at suntec city. He was recommended by a friend and so without doubt, had signed up with him verbally (requested for one to one coaching). On the same day, I was asked to fill up couple of dive forms. I could not remember what actually those form are. Should be those accident, health, etc declaration forms.

I signed up the open dive course with him in June (cant remember, it is the month the dive fair is hosted) and completed it only in Sep. Within this period, it was lotsa of hell handling this guy. He would either tell you the dive appointment this weekend and will call back you to confirm. Trust me, his weekend will never come, he will never call you back. You can try waiting for years..If you try to contact him via mobile, you could never get in touch with him. Either no answer or a superb fast return sms telling you "I'll call you back". There was no response even you sent him nasty smses. I bet he could not read english..Thats what he told me..Real painful process. He is the most most irresponsible person you will ever want to meet in your entire life. Apparently, my couple friends too encountered the same incident.

After months, until now, I have not even gotten my PADI card. Called him once and thanks god, he picked up his call, when being asked about my licence, he said that he had already sent in the application. Guess what, after checking through PADI website under replacement of cards, there's no record of my name found. Out of my surprise, there are actually a number of victims (more than 10) affected under his coach, I am not the only ones. PADI even confirmed that they never receive our application at all. Could it be he wanted to save the $80 PIC card and thus he never send out any of the application out? This guy is really something. Not sure if he is smart or what, he never leave any form of evidence with us to bring him to CASE. No invoice, logbook, textbook, test paper, etc are all with him..This is really frustrating and with the way he run his business, there is no tomorrow.

I hope to send this message and warn out to everyone, give a second thought if you would like to take up any form of sport with this Raymond. He may be a fun guy to hang out with, but he is definitely an irresponsible person. Do not come and tell me that he is a good instructor just that his paper work is not as good, I trust this is all big time bullshit. As a PADI certified instructor, you should be fully well equipped both physically, mentally and must at least be moral responsible. What is the utimate objective of every customer who stepped at your doorstep, paid to take the course from you? Not only we want to master the skill, we paid to get our certification. Can he help us in fufilling our objectives after giving him so many chances to deem his trust from us?? What is PADI say on this incident? What is the plan PADI going to help? On what basis did PADI certified Raymond as a instructor? Many questions have been pondering but who can tell me the best solution without the needs to repeat the course again..

I am sure there are lotsa victims out there echoing the same as well..

Note: The same message is published in google http://diveinformation.googlepages.com/home and sent to AUS PADI for their review

Marriage Game

I picked this up from the music site. The lyrics is quite funny...ha ha ha

[Intro]
I'd like to say"Your Ready", but I'm not ready
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

[Verse One]
Now love I've been make you understand
That I rather be with you and I'm happy I'm your man
And your moms and your pops I've seen walking down that alt asking what's up
'Cause it's been awhile, 'bout seven years now
We've been together baby, but girl I'm still not ready
Take it easy don't push me away, don't want to make a mistake
I wanna do thing right and my paper right
Wanna be 100% is with you, I wanna spend my life

[Chorus]
Marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

Marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the joy and trough the pain
It's more than a ceremony, more the a wedding rain
A marriage won't change, nothing but your name

[Verse Two]
Ever sense you cut that boot cake at your friends wedding day
I've been under pressure babe (I've been under pressure girl)(?)

I know you love me baby, but girl I'm still not ready
It's so many thing's such you don't know about me
Even though we've been together for so long
We got along, way to go, so girl lets take it slow

[Chorus]
[Break down]
It's that I can't see myself a life with you
Girl I aint going nowhere, lets take our time
And it says something that you just jump in to
And marriage don't change no

[Chorus]
[Outro]
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

Beauty

Anyone to recommend salon which provides eyebrow embroidery service? Erabelle did a good job reshaping my eyebrow but they are charging me $500 for eyebrow embroidery. Actually it will cost more for my case because the colour with Jip Yip did for me few years back has changed to an superb ugly colour. Erabelle recommend me to decolor it before they apply the new colour. They did a great job to my new eyebrow shaping but the price is too steep for me to consider taking up the embroidery service. Thats explains why I am looking for an alternative salon who can deliver the same quality.

Looking out for ampoules as well. Most of the ampoules are quite expensive. Went to CK Tang today and saw this Dr. Hauschka's ampoules. Looks good and cheap also. One ampoule for only $4 and the box costs about $200. Thats actually consider cheap. Other better recommendation as well?

Smile

Finally it is cleaned and white..Oppss, I am referring to my teeth. The young male dentist is great except that he is so so talkative. He talked to me for the entire 45 mins. Hey chap, how do you expect me to answer you when you are processing the procedure?? Thats really funny. Well, he just could not stop even I was paying him..ha ha ha....To observe, actually guys nowsdays can really talk more than woman. Time has changed.

I will be back to see him again definitely. He is much better than the ones which I often visit which is at Parkway. Now at city hall, it is much more convenient to me. For $60 and he really did a good job, not missing any steps.

Teeth whitening is so expensive. The cheapest ones cost $800. Well, I don't think my teeth is so yellow to go for it, that means I shall drop the idea. Probably I shall buy the "bite on" type when date comes nearer to my photoshoot. That is a 10 days process and not cheap also, probably about $300.

By the way, I have learnt two new words recently from my colleague. Quite amazing with the way he put it sometimes. Anyway, the word "OPPS" means "Other People Problems" and "Pettifogger" means someone who does unneccessary things. We know who that person is. Ha ha.

Ok, got to go now. Tomorrow no work but need to attend seminar at Grand Hyatt Hotel early morning. Hope I can get up and catch the bus mann.

Ciao..

Occasions

Hey guys, now you should know where all your charity funds have gone to after much incidents which had happened. This guy was paid 58% of the charity income alright!! Oh gawl, really unbelievable. First incident was the "peanut", and now was about Youth Challenge. Moral of the story is do remember to donate wisely in future..FOOL!!!

Tomorrow is Oggy's 32th birthday and I havent even bought anything for him yet. Am still pondering what to buy..Think I have to wake up early to Vivo to get him something before i meeting him to Utopia photography studio appt tomorrow. No choice lah, have to rush..what to do...

I have gotten my red date. Shall set my ROM date on 27th of Oct. In fact there are two dates to choose, but have played a coin flip game with Oggy and he won..So we are going for the Oct ones instead of Sep..sob sob..

All about Moles

Saw this mail from my friend..Thought it is very interesting to put in my blog..I have mole at position 2, 7, 20 and 21..hee hee

Moles and what they say about you The Chinese Almanac, also known as the Tung Shu, is commonly known as a book of auspicious and inauspicious dates, but there is so much more to the Tung Shu than that. It is a vast mine of information relating to astrology, codes and symbols, derived by the wise sages and philosophers of ancient China . In this issue, we bring to you the secrets from the almanac regarding moles on your face and what they mean depending on which part of your face they appear.

First, check your face for any moles, and then look at the diagram above to identify the number(s) that are a closest match to the moles on your face. Usually, the moles only hold meaning for you if they are prominent and they are the only one. If your face if full of spots, acne or "little" moles, they do not count. When you've ascertained which position corresponds to the mole on your face, look up the meanings listed by numbers below.

Position 1 to 3

As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4

You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Position 5

A mole above the eyebrow indicates that there is wealth luck in your life, but you will need to earn it and work harder than most people. All the income you make must be carefully kept as there are people who are jealous of you who might attempt to sweet talk you into parting with your wealth. Be wary of those who try to interest you in get-rich-quick schemes. If you have a mole here, it is advisable not to be too trusting of others. Follow your instincts and be cautious. And never allow other people to control your finances.

Position 6

A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success. It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.

Position 7

Moles under the eyebrows indicate arguments within the extended family that cause you grief and unhappiness. This will affect your work and livelihood. It is advisable to settle any differences you have with your relatives if you want peace of mind to move ahead.

Position 8

This is not a very good position for a mole. Your financial position will constantly be under strain because of a tendency to overspend. You also have a penchant for gambling. The only thing is you must know when to stop. Meanwhile, someone with a mole here has a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex as well as with the same sex. Better be a little discerning where you exert your charms, or you might get into trouble.

Position 9

This mole position suggests sexual and other problems. It is an unfortunate mole and you are well advised to get rid of it. It brings a litany of woes and a parade of problems.

Position 10

A mole here just under the nose indicates excellent descendants luck. You are surrounded by family at all times and will have many children and grandchildren. You have the support of those close to you and will be both materially and emotionally fulfilled.

Position 11

Moles here suggest a tendency to succumb to illness. It is a good idea to have this mole removed especially if it is a large, dark-coloured mole. Otherwise use lots of foundation to cover it.

Position 12

A mole here foretells a successful but also a very balanced life. You are likely to be not just rich, but famous as well. But although you have every opportunity to live the high life, you will have a satisfying home and family life as well. Women with moles here are particularly lucky and tend to be beautiful and glamourous as well.

Position 13

Your children will be a big worry in your life. Your relationship with them is not good. There is nothing much you can do about this except to learn some tolerance.

Position 14

A mole here suggests a vulnerability to food which can be a big problem in your life. You may have allergies against certain foods or you may simply be eating too much.

Position 15

You are a person always on the move and constantly renovating and redesigning your house. You like to be introduced to new things and see new places. You are not happy if you remain in one place for long. You enjoy travel and adventure, and have a very observant eye.

Position 16

You need to be careful when it comes to eating, and also when it comes to your sex life. These are your two biggest problems. You tend to have weight issues which can make you depressed. You enjoy romance, sometimes with more than one person, but because you are a person with some morality, you will feel guilty about it and this will cause you much stress.

Position 17

You will be someone of great social prominence. You are active on the social scene and an excellent conversationalist. There is a tendency to become bigheaded about your success, which could lose you your good name. This will affect you deeply because you draw your confidence and self worth from what others think of you.

Position 18

You are a person always on the move. There is a great deal of overseas travel in your life, but you should take extra care each time you cross the great waters, as your mole prefers you to stay at home.

Position 19

You have money luck and many good friends, so this is a good mole to have. Your weakness is that you tend to succumb to the charms of the opposite sex. In your life, it is this that could get you into hot water, so do cool your ardour!

Position 20

A mole here can be very lucky or very unlucky. If you have a mole here, you are destined either for extreme fame or infamy. You have great flair for creativity and are also highly intelligent, but your talents can be used for both good and bad. You are not a person to be trifled with for you are no pushover and do not forgive and forget easily. This mole is a mark of someone who will go down in history either as a great or as a tyrant.

Position 21

This is a good mole, as it suggests plenty to eat and drink throughout your life. This mole also brings fame and recognition.

Position 22

Your life is always happy and things go smoothly for you. You could well become a sports superstar if you have the passion for it. Moles at the end of eyebrows also suggest a person of authority and power, so if you are the CEO of a company, you will do very well.

Position 23

You have a high IQ, and you are both brain smart and street smart. You have a highly-developed survival instinct and will lead a meaningful and long life. You will be active until a very old age and will have friends and family around you till the very end.

Position 24

You will achieve fame and fortune in your young age and you are advised to use this period to safeguard your old age, as people with moles here tend to have a harderlife as they get older.

Position 25

You will enjoy good prosperity and recognition luck, but do be careful of excesses. Stay traditional in your attitudes and you will have a long and fruitful life.

Lost

What to write today?? sign..My brain basically not functioning after work recently..I could not even recall things at all..Ample times when questions were asked at night, I could not answer at all..That bad!!

Lets enjoy the entire process

Have submitted the application form this afternoon for the geomancist to suggest me some good red dates. Be patience to wait at least 1 week for the returns..Realised that date is so impt because whenever I stepped into bridal studio, consultants will ask me about my red date..hee hee..

OK, I have approached three bridal studio so far together with my colleagues or myself. One of which is definitely out because photo sucks and wedding gown also sucks big time. Shall be going to another studio at tanjong pagar with my friend tomorrow. She just signed up with this studio "iwedding" and heard can get many freebies and special discount for me...

So far, I like the wedding gown from silverliningbridal as they design sexy gowns..Moreover, the owner of the studio is a not bad good looking, friendly and approachable gay..**wink **wink. hmm, I trust gays especially more than women because they are usually more talented. Sorry for women out there, but it is truth. As for the photographer, I would prefer Utopia..Lets see how it goes since I still have ample time to explore further. Quite fun actually..Havent got into any gown trying yet, maybe after I shortlised some of the studio first.

Wedding Procedures - Need advise

Step 1 : Guess we need to confirm our red date first. Until now havent even bother to get a geomancy to find a red date for us..Ha ha..Lazy sia..

Step 2: Intend to hold solemnization in a function room or by the pool. These are the places I am looking at now. Anyone has other suggestion for my consideration, please.

1. Conrad's Salon by the Pool (http://www.singapore.conradmeetings.com/sincici/photo_20.html)
2. Changi Village Hotel - Poolside (http://www.changivillage.com.sg/index.cfm?id=8F130CB4-F206-A174-376690E6EE2F81B7)
3. Amara Hotel - Poolside (http://singapore.amarahotels.com/fac_sg_fr.htm)
4. Labrador Park

Actually I like the ones at Changi Village Hotel. The pool looks nice to me and the overall atmosphere is very cosy. The intention is have my solemnization there and lunch with two of our families. That's simple..Simple and effort-free is my style..:P..

Step 3: Need to find a cheap and nice wedding store to take wedding photo..Any recommendation in town

Step 4: Register a red date and an available solemniziser.

Step 5: Plan for honeymoon.

Am i getting the steps right?? First time woh, so quite confuse and need advise here. Hmm, how do i get started?

Tiring day

Urrrghhh, unforgetable love really bring tears to my eyes..Been watching Korean Drama since Thursday night. The story is so touching and I have been shedding tears so drastically..ha ha..Rating for this drama is 8 out of 10. Quick, go and buy or rent or borrow from someone...

Today was quite a tiring day. Slept at 3.30 a.m this morning..hee hee..anxious to finish up all the drama mah..Woke up early 9 a.m for my facial appointment..The doctor was again insane, treatment procedure was again so rough but at least worthy for the money. The previous ones took only half a hour, today was one hour. After which, rushed to meet my colleagues for lunch at Tung Lok Restaurant and then to hair do..almost drained off..

A compliment from my hair dresser today..Guess what?? She mentioned that my look still the same as 10 yrs ago..never change..even now still does not look old...True or not?? Please lor, I definitely look different from last time lah..She must be pulling my legs...

Ok then, that's all for today..I wanna rush for my tender spec now and get to sleep....Should leave my strawberry strudel for tomorrow..I need beauty sleep

Sophisticated iPhones. I'm Waiting

Wow, don't you think these iphones look cool!! I am a fan of sophisticated attractive phone. This is the one which I am waiting for long..The downside is that it will only launch in SG next year woh..sigh..which means I am going to bear with my current phone for another one year..shitty isn't it..Damn..

By far, the only phone I love was my first nokia phone which I purchased at $1400 which was many many years ago. Remember the ones which was silver and left with fingerprint. Can even treat it as a mirror. Remember?? yeah yeah, that's the ones..

'N' phone, please lah..The designs of 'N' phone are going from bad to worst. 'N' is the weakest link..It is time to engage a next better player to design better looking phone mann...

An ex-colleague from HP contacted me yesterday. I was surprised because I never expect her to remember again after I left HP..hee hee..Well, she is currently working in Cisco system after 7 yrs in HP. Hope she be doing good there, settle down and find me a job in Cisco system..Shall be meeting her one of the days to catch up definitely. Anyway, we are glad that we remain in contact again..

hmm, not feeling good these days. Just finished working from home. However, I feeling very happy after receiving a sms after which. Imagine someone telling you to take good care of health and must live happily at the fullest. This message really tells me that at least a person far away is thinking of me.

3 more days to paycheck

OK!! Just back from a 1 hr 30 mins survey discussion and earned myself $70. The topic today is about Credit Card. Seem like the next generation of credit card is going to be interesting. I am curious to know which bank is offering it. Shall wait and see then...

Work this new year is really hectics and not flowing smoothly. Seem like systems are not behaving themselves. Bugs are crawling out slowly..sigh..Always been wondering, we come to this world with nothing and will leave this world with nothing, why should we work so hard? People always say 'take it easy, it is just a job and get the paycheck and be happy'. I think I never can learn that. Probably just my character to take pride in whatever things I do. I have really high expectation of myself and wanted to do the best. When things go wrong, I always hold on to it and fight till the end. When can I learn to take things easily?? I am tired...boo hoo hoo...

Happiness in a box

Check it out at http://www.gobi.com.sg. Been craving for these little cakes for one week. Don't they look cute, sweet and appetitizing..Yummy Yummy...

For those whose babies are coming to one month and thought of giving out Bengawan solo's vochure, etc, you may wish to consider this. Just something special and a box of happiness is not expensive though..

Coming back to the term "Happiness". 'What is happiness?' Some thinkers say "Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination".

To prove their belief, here is an example:- A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those, who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy

So, in order to be happy, look towards those who have fewer possessions and you will be happy. Well, I am still trying to appreciate happiness in my life.. That's why we always say "Saying is always easier than to execute!!"

You're Beautiful

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

Music Code provided by Song2Play.Com

My Most Favourite Song

By far, this is the my most favourite song. This song definitely has given me great inspiration in life. Once before, I have friends who searched high and low around Singapore music stores for me but failed. For years, I have given up hope in search of it. If anyone out there came across or by luck, able to find this song anywhere in town or out of town, I really would appreciate if I can have a copy of it. This CD meant alot to me :P


Via: VideoSift

Do enjoy it!! Almost everyone in Hollywood showing their support in this song.

Voices That Care was a song written by the people who were left behind or the people who didn't go and fight in the war. Voices That Care was written and sent to solders during the Gulf War. The people who wrote the song wrote it because they didn't want the soldiers to think that we forgot about them. The people who wrote the song Voices That Care had great empathy for the men and women fighting for our freedom. This song is also telling all the solders that we want them to come home safe. Quote from Voices That Care would be Stand tall stand proud voices that care are crying out loud. This quote is telling them to hang in there and you'll be coming home soon. Another quote might be I'm not here to justify the cause or to count the loss, that's all been done before. This might mean that they are singing this song not to make it sound like everyone that goes to war will die, and they believe that they will come home safe. They also sung it to support the soldiers. Voices That Care is the type of song that makes people believe if they go to war that they will come home safe, but even if they don't they won't be forgotten.

The lyrics:-

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why you're so far away
There - you have to take a stand in someone elses land
Life can be so strange.
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
That we could find a way
I won't turn my back again, your honor i'll defend
So hurry home till then.

Chorus:
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feeling your heart how our love burns bright.

I'm not here to justify the cause or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before
I just can't let you feel alone when there's so much love at home
We're sending out to you
All the courage that you've known, the bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way
We pray to make the future bright, to make the wrong things right
(rap: right or wrong, we're all praying you remain strong,
that's why we're all here and singing along)

repeat chorus

Soul mate

Still feelin' lousy. She used to be childhood mate, my closest soul mate, a person who I can share things with, a person who grows up with me and a person who is blood related to me. We have been very close since young, we shared laughter, wildness and saddness together. Memories of them are so close to my heart, however things have changed. The family gathering last monday has given me a sign that everything has lost its connection. My heart is so sore.. Tell me "The Reason" (One of my favourite Songs).



Which is the path I wanna walk now? Still pondering..Sometimes it would good to let things go.

Little Nephew

As a matter of fact, another year has passed. Woke up on the first day of new year pondering what to do. This afternoon I need to get to Ismaa'eel, cousin's son 'aqeeqah and housewarming. My little nephew has arrived last month. I have too many little nephews and nieces that made me almost forgot their names (at least two whom I did not know their names. :p shhh..). Will catch up during chinese new year if I am in town.

Happy New Year 2007

Hi all,

To those who are partying, party hard. To those who are drinking, do not drive :p. To those who are staying at home (like me), do something fruitful. To those who are at friends' house having potluck, eat till your tummy show..While you are having fun, don't forget to plan for your new year resolution. I had done mine and how about yours...

Well, I just completed living room and kitchen cleaning 3 hours back. Started it since afternoon and now my entire body is aching like no one business. Gosh, I could no longer continue with my room tomorrow..Ouch Ouch...

Got to rest. Be back soon!!
