Eric the HouseboyIt's been a month plus since I've moved out.It's been a great month...being independent. Nothing scary, and somehow, it's a very refreshing thing.I've learnt how to wash & iron clothes (not perfect, but definitely improving), cook my own dinner (even though it's still those very "instant" kind of food). Maybe some of u might go "cheyyy...how old liao, u mean u dunno how to do it?

HK...Some thoughts on how I felt about HK...Abit similar to Singapore, I mean the shopping part.They have a great transportation system.They have very big subway stations, you can walk for a long time from one end to the other. I find this part to be quite similar to Tokyo.Their buildings are either very old or very new.Love their neon lights at night.Love their food totally. Dim sum, or their

Back from Genting & Shop Closed for the YearBack from Genting.The journey back is disastrous...bus broke down, jam at Singapore Customs. By the time I reached home, it's already 2.30am (it should be 10pm!).Slept at 3 and woke up at 7 again for work.It's been a tiring 2 weeks. Hong Kong...tired & while recovering, I went Genting. Even more tired, and till now, after a week, I'm still feeling so

Back from HK...On the flight to HK, the pilot said:"I'm sorry but the flight is a little delayed as we need to wait for a last minute boarding, but don't worry, I will drive a little faster to ensure we reach on time." -- he did use the word "drive", which I thought it's abit inappropriate to be used for a flying object. I think "fly" is a better word..."I can see the passenger running past the

Milestone Achieved...Today, 25th July 2010, is that day I achieved a great milestone in my life.I moved out of my house!Ok, I didn't out to stay with a stranger or alone...I moved in with my aunt who stays alone. Reason...just wanna try to be more independent, and getting nearer to my workplace, and enjoying a little peace.From now on, no more maid...I've to do my own housework, make my own bed,

Zero Job SatisfactionToday is the day my 1st big project at work went live.I sent out an email on project closure, and estimated this project to save the company about US$400k per year. But the weird thing is...I don't feel the shiok shiok job satisfaction at all! Why?

Overheard..."Bye Bye Suckers!"I heard this from a little kid, who should be less than 6 yrs old...who ran into the lift, and shouted this line to the other neighbourhood kids.Do kids nowadays talk so "heavily"?

10,000 & More Fathers' Day ReadingParticipated in CDAC Fathers' Day Reading on the train programme yesterday. Sort of wanting to break the Singapore Book of Record by having 10,000 fathers participating with their kids in this programme. They have professional storytellers on the NE line telling stories from Punggol to Harbourfront and back to Sengkang.Woke up super early on a Saturday, and stood

Eric the VolunteerYes, I'm now a volunteer with CDAC. Don't ask me why I enrolled myself. It's done on impulse. Thot of doing something meaningful while I'm still young, and went to NVPC web to do a search. And found this programme which sounded rather fun.So I sent my application and got recruited. It's actually a programme to teach kids between 4-8 years old to read and engage them in opening

Perfect!Went for a 1-month post op review on my eyes yesterday. And I got a all-clear perfect eyesight! And my cornea flap healed fully, so I'm now able to do all kinds of water sports I want (but actually I dun do any water sports lah).I actually can see quite clearly now, but I didn't expect to have a perfect eyesight coz due to my very bad short sightedness, the doc said I will only have 80-

The AftermathI'm still missing Japan after 1 week. Especially when the sun comes out, shining brightly, I wish I'm in Japan enjoying the cool breeze. And when I see ugly Singaporeans taking up the whole escalator, I'll automatically think of how good mannered the Japanese are.Time to move on...and concentrate on my next trip...Hong Kong, wait for me!

Back to Reality...Back from Japan about 20hrs ago. I missed Japan already...I miss the nice people, I miss the nice toilets they have, I miss the great service level, I miss their politeness in standing on the left when on an escalator, I miss their messy yet superb subways, I miss their free tissues, I miss their vending machines, I miss the cooling weather.Day 1 ~ Ueno Park, Harajuku,

He's a real "funny" guy, examples as follow:Example 1: "Hi China team, can you hear me? Can you understand English? Can you understand my accent?" Our China colleagues answered a "yes" and kept quiet thruout the whole session after that. I think they were pissed

6/6 Perfect Eyesight?Went for my 1 week post-op review for my eyes today.The nurse asked me to read from the screen and declared me a 6/6. I asked her my eyesight is still blur, how can I have a perfect 6/6 eyesight? She say coz I read the last line perfectly. But...I was obviously struggling to read and my tone sounds like I'm guessing. And somehow I managed to guess them all correctly. Hence, a

答案是 The Answer Is…Went to watch Stefanie Sun's concert yesterday. I'm impressed with the stage design. At 1st I thot why do they have to put so many big "diamond" shaped things on the stage, wasting the space. But as the show went by, these "diamonds" floated around the stage, opening here n there, lifting up and down. Wow...I wasn't a fan of Stefanie, but I went because of the many songs I guess
