2007 回顧

2007 年﹐ 沒有決議 (翻譯網站給的翻譯)﹐因為我知道我不會遵守。

2007年﹐也跑得太快了。不能否認﹐老了﹐跟不上時間的步伐。

所以呢﹐就來回顧一下2007年的大小事。(關於我的啦﹐世界太大﹐放不進這個博客)

1) 升職了。靠運氣﹐也有點靠"搶"回來的。因為公司里的某些無聊程序﹐而也因為某些政治理由﹐我挨了差不多半年的一人做兩人的工(那個該做的人不太會﹐也不太想做)﹐所以就是這麼不公平。那個人跑到了另一個部門去﹐雖然忙﹐他說至少是他喜歡做的事。然後要填補空缺﹐還要經過面試(之前那個人在舊的管理系統下直接拿到了那個位子)。其實真的考慮如果還是我要教另一個新人﹐我就跑人。還好順利拿到﹐不過還是多挨了兩個多月的雙重工作才等到填補我的空缺的新人進來﹐上手﹐才放心讓她管理。

升職了﹐搬桌子了﹐薪水多了﹐工作也特別多了。多到加班到8-9點後還帶回家做。忙死了。

2) 一年內買了兩架相機。但還是喜歡我的FZ5.

3) 因工作第一次被派出國﹐(新的管理層所開的區域會議。舊的管理層也有﹐但比較像是給員工們的獎勵﹐也都是自己人。這次真的去開會﹐雖然還是不太關我的事)。去了柬埔寨﹐然後就好多次的搭乘SG-KL航班﹐有四次吧。

4) 換了兩架手機﹐不是錢太多﹐而是E65給我不少的問題﹐電信訊號也不穩定﹐就換了現在的K770i。沒什麼大礙的話應該可以給我用個一兩年。

5) 隔了好多年又重遊動物園。

6) 跟五月天私奔到了月球﹐與周杰倫喝了一杯牛奶﹐然後再和粱靜茹一起慶祝情人節。

7) 爬了武吉知馬山。看了國慶慶典。也看了好幾部電影。

8) 到了日本旅遊﹐也到了香港。

9) 寫了至少25首歌詞。杠箍。

10) 拔了兩顆智慧牙。

應該就沒什麼了吧。。。就希望2008年一切風平浪靜。。


一個有趣的心裡測驗。

粱靜茹 2007<今天情人節>演唱會

In a deal that was supposed to be I accompany him for Fish while he accompany me for Jay, I'm at this concert. BUT I CANT GET TIX FOR JAY IN SG!!! (Thus the watching his concert in HK part cos it was being held there while I was going there.)

Anyway, no regrets. Her vocals are the best that I've heard in concerts. Really soothing.. (& of cos the Ah Shin part, even thou he only sang like, one and a half song (知足&擁抱) after flying him 4 hrs over?)


$144 seats. Not the one buying the tix.










Rays of Light from the revolving discotheque ball thingy.


Ahhh Shiiinnnn~~


*drools*


He's looking kinda old.. or tired..






She was crying..




Encore Part. She looks sweet in this t-shirt n jeans combi. Oh her tee is some illusion thing. 2 faces facing each other.

Too bad its not the special one beside me.. Still missing anyway.

Hong Kong-ers from a Tourist's Point of View

The usual round up.

Efficient Transportation

My, I LOVE their transportation. Far more efficient than our MRTs, SBS buses, cabs, combined!! Their MTR travels probably 50% faster than our MRTs; Cabs cheaper and controls the traffic very well; many bus services plough similar routes and drives at racing speeds. Simply woah~~ So long as they can get me to point A to point B in the minimum time possible, its good. Safety-wise, the road users all have some form of unwritten understanding and they dun horn all over when someone simply cuts into their lane.

Probably Singapore should address the issue of efficiency rather than simply raising transportation cost alone on basis that operating cost is going uphill. Damn I'm still pissed over the cab fare hike. This is a monopoly/transportation collusion in the making!! Forcing commuters with no choice but to abide. N the drivers are not the ones benefitting when demand for cab drops. Blah!!



Language Barrier

It wasnt as bad as I thot it would be, on account that BOTH of us doesnt know Cantonese. I can understand slightly but I'll still reply in Mandarin.

Food

I love their maggi noodles. HAHAHAH.. They call it 公仔面. And just like in Japan, their food tends to be more of the salty side. Now it got me wondering. Is it that they are salty, or that Singapore is too health conscious and people are "constructed" to be more salt averse.

Seriously I din spend a lot on this trip. Which is quite a good thing. Hehe. And for your info, my Jay Chou tix costs probably SGD 30 plus. Even the best seats are going for less than SGD 100. Singapore is too overpriced. Seriously.

Still a lot more of Hong Kong for me to explore the next time round.

Hong Kong Squeezed-In Trip Day 5 - Guest Blogged by 浪迹天涯小狗

At Senate Square, early in the morning.

Woke up freaking early cos we had a flight at 1020 to catch and we have not seen enough of Macau!!


Macau and HK is perpectually always misty while we were there.


Caltex service station just outside Casa Real.


Empty streets. Too early, even the tourist traps of portugese egg tarts are not open yet.




Statue at Sao Paulo Cathedral


Ruins of Sao Paulo


Beyond the gates




Mistress like this pic. Very "genuine".














It happened to be some 80,000 Walk Day while we were there, so we saw a lot of ppl on the streets representing their organisations. Some on casino tours.


The brightly lit buildings at night as seen in daylight.

Time to conclude the trip. We rushed our way to the airport for the Tiger flight back to SG.

Due to space constraints, their flats are usually very very tall.

Hauling a few bags of cheap dried scallops, we went back to our hotel to check out.

The contrast

After which, we went to take the ferry over to Macau. Sort of missed the tickets timing so we could only wait for one hour plus for our next ferry available.





Checked into Casa Real at around 7+, took a while to clear the Customs again.



Took a walk around the neon lit town before having our dinner at Porto Exterior. Good food they have there.
