East Coast Morning

This morning we went to East Coast. Karinna's colleague's daughter wanted to see a real dog, so we brought ours to showcase. :P
Sort of. :)

The little girl Megan is about 16 months, pretty cute. As usual, shy at first, need a bit of warmup then she feels safer to play a bit more.

We were at Carpark C1, which is somewhere in between the McDonald area, and the old Big Splash area.
Lots of people there, and there were a lot of tents setup along the beach! Cool!

Damn. I wanted to go toilet to pee, then followed the signboard, and had to walk until the McDonald area there! 15 mins one way! Crazy!

By the time I went back, sit around for a while, little Megan had to go home already. :P

Then we decided to walk to the old Big Splash area (now called the Playground?) for food. Ate at Carl's Junior.

Beauty and the Beast

Yum yum. *burp*

I chose the Bacon Swiss Crispy Chicken combo meal. Other than a bit salty, it was good. :D

Still hungry. How?
Fret not!

Today is my nephew Casper's 1 year old birthday! Going there later to celebrate for the little boy.

And later this evening, going to another friend's place. New home after gotten married.

Today is such a busy day!
AAAAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Mee Rebus

Today didn't come home for dinner.

Karinna sometimes prefer to eat out, so we had our dinner elsewhere today.

I decided to go Parkway Parade, we haven't been there for quite some time.
Also don't know what to eat there, didn't know there's a Crystal Jade there also.
So just went to the food court at the basement.

She wanted to eat beef. Die die must eat beef. No beef hor fun, so she chose beef noodle. Still beef right? :P
Since we're at Parkway, so I decided to eat the famous Mee Rebus.

Bee Rebus is actually a damn damn expensive food. Not much ingredient there, just bean sprouts, some toufu, and half of a hardboiled egg. Lost of green chilli perhaps.
Costs $3.70 for a plate. Wow!

Technically speaking, it is not bad, but I am not too fussy with food.
So doesn't affect me much as long as the food is not too awful for me.

After the dinner, just walked around, and went to Giant to buy things.
Buy buy until happy happy.
Not really happy when I feel like I have no money. hehe

Took my medicine already. Not sure when I will start feeling ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz again.

Drowsy

早上, 不应该吃药
现在, 我很想睡觉
睡觉, 问我要不要
苯鸟, 纵然也知晓

Group Insurance

Sigh. This Group Insurance thing is driving me crazy. Been working at it for the past few months, and still not able to finalize fully.

First, I have certain budget constraint.
Second, have to know what is required under legislation law. At least I know there is this thing called Work Injury Compensation, which although not compulsory to buy insurance, it is mandatory for company to provide for staff.
So if company never buy for the staff, then if anything happen, employee can get compensation directly from company under Singapore Manpower law.

And different companies have different packages etc, different coverage scheme, different Room and Board plans, a bit difficult to compare properly among them.

With some handicapped or people with medical conditions in my company, it makes it even more time consuming to have it done. Generally, they cannot be covered. Stupid insurance thing.

Anyway, don't really want to delay it much longer. I am giving myself at most until end of this month to have this settled.

Now it's more or less streamed down to 2 companies.
Whichever gives me a better deal wins.

Overall, I lose. :D

黃瑞文 - 無法調整的頻率

I'm a sucker for songs that are not so well known.

This song was like almost 20 years ago, think I was still in the army then if I remember well.
It's kinda refreshing voice at that time. Interesting to me.

Song-wise pretty ok, and I think there was another song from him which was better. Can't find it online yet.
In fact, I have the cassette! Still have it! :D


作词:何启弦
作曲:蒋三省
编曲:陈志远

再也无法调整的频率 让你我不能相聚
只为那刻意逃避 干扰了美丽的相遇

曾经想要帅性的收集 你留下的孤寂
谁知道漫漫长夜 留下的只是泪水

从来没有想过忘了你
从来没有想过离开你
只是在你冰冷的双眼里
却容纳不下我的爱情

从来没有想过忘了你
从来没有想过离开你
只是在你冰冷的双眼里
却找回我的爱情

Olympic Swim

There were some sort of talks about going swimming few months back.
One is to let Karinna exercise, while not exerting too much pressure on her knees.
Second, it is possibly another form of physiotherapy for the knee joint.

In short, need to exercise lah.

So after visiting my parents today, we went to Eastpoint Mall to buy things. More specifically, buy a pair of swimming trunks and goggles for me.

See the sexy trunks I bought, and the goggles in the box:


We went to Tampines Swimming Complex around 6pm. Took a while to get a carpark, still got it of course.

Since I am such a good swimmer, and she a great swimmer too, we went to the "Teaching Pool" to teach ourselves the essence of perfect swim!
Practising to be a frog for about 45 minutes, and we called it a day for the swim.

Didn't try my puppy-style today though. The place was too crowded, and it's not easy to demonstrate the unique skills at crowded pool.

After the aquatic workout, went home for dinner, and feels great with ached arms and legs.

Next swim, not sure when, but we got swimming lesson on 16 Aug! Cool huh? :D

Financial Planning

Yesterday, went with Karinna to meet a financial planner.

Objective is basically to see how we can try to achieve financial freedom at certain point of time, if possible at all. :P

Wah. Talk very long siah.

Met him up around 7.30pm, then talk talk talk, and by the time ended, already close to 11pm.

On the way home, that person slept all the way, while I drove. Alamak.
Zhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

What shall I do today?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz? :D
