Cambodia Day 2 & 3

Day and Night View
Drove past the Cambodia Independence Monument a few times...

I met a stray dog. He is soooooooo cute and friendly. :P

The Central Market at one of the busiest street in Phnom Penh.
You can find jewellery, souvenirs, clothing for all, bags, Maps.
You can even find some very detail maps for topography here.

My last meal in Cambodia was this famous beef noodles.
The taste is lighter than the Singapore version.
We had 3 bowls + 2 drinks @ USD4 only.
Pretty cheap i think.

Cute Doggies

Jay Zhou Concert 2008 in Singapore

I bought the 周杰倫2008世界巡迴演唱會 tickets today.

The Cat 1 Tickets ( S$198 ) was sold out before Sistic open at 10am... duh

The Cat 2 Tickets ( S$168 ) was sold out about 11am...

I queued for an hour and 30mins and finally gotten 4 x Cat 3 Tickets ( S$138 ).

The wait was so long due to the slow internet access to Sistic ticketing system and partly by indecisive people who can't decide where to seat or was buying tickets for friends with many last minute changes of ticket qty...

Ends up i had to treat Dex and Willie lunch as they accompany me in this warm weather for so long. ( damage S$20.50 )

The concert better be good.

Cambodia Trip - Day 1

15th - 17th Oct - In Cambodia

I had a long and tired day on the 15th Oct, abit Jet lag.... and did not rest much with a crying baby on the same flight....Sigh.....
A weary looking me in hotel lobby.
I reached the hotel about 12pm, had a short rest and freshen up before venturing for my visitation.

I was served a welcome drink when i reached the hotel.

( no idea what is it.........but nice and refreshing anyway.. :P )
Le Royal Raffles Hotel Room with 2 Queen size beds. My usual room with King size bed is not available due to an event. ( Notice that the Sadako is trying to creep out from my TV? So scary..... ) I tried the wireless internet immediately, ( 20USD for 8Hours, SOOOO EXPENSIVE ). The signal is strong now, much better than my last trip here.

Luckily i had it easy finding my way around as the driver Ravong is pretty fluent with English. I took my lunch outside Anana Shop. My first taste of Cambodian fast food. A simple set meal with a sandwich, fries and cola. ( not sure it is Coke or Pepsi or Cambodian Cola )

2nd Hand Computer Shop

Anana Retail Shop
Spent the rest of the day visiting Computer Shops, but most of them are 2nd hand Computer Shops.... Sigh

Happy Scooby II

So happy that Scooby took to his new sleeping place so well.
I don't even need to coax him much. He sniffed here abit, there abit and he just walked into it. :P
Initially i am afraid that he will not use it at all.
Lucky he is not so picky.

Happy Scooby

So Happy, Scooby has recovered from the skin allergy.

Hope the allergy will stay away forever.

Wish List for Scooby
1. A Bed cum House
2. Another Trip to Sentosa
3. More Greenies

Words of reminder

人与人之间相处摩擦是正常的,對別人寬容就是善待自己.

Why Warlock should be Nerfed!

Another Jens Lehmann Special!!!

Jens Lehmann dropped 2 points for Arsenal's match against Blackburn.

Maybe he has a liking for man named David. First he gifted David Healy a goal now he gifted David Dunn one too.

Sigh, Hope no more goof up by him.

Ah. Just how i feel about life. :P

Weekend Ends Too Soon, Monday Comes Too Fast

As always the weekends are over with a blink of eyes.
Monday comes to soon.

Too many things to do and too little time.

So what have you done over the weekends?

English Premier League - Arsenal

Arsenal starts off with a win over Fulham with late goals from Van Persie and Hleb to Jens Lehmann relieve.

A careless mistake by a reputated international goalkeeper. Sigh.
Hope this will not ocurred again thru the season.

Arsenal played beautifully again. But i hope this season they will put the ball into the net where it matters most.

For more details of the match. Please go to soccernet.com

Secret 【不能說的秘密】

Caught the show on National Day.

A simple love story that is pretty similiar in the sense of The Love Letters( Japanese show ).

A nice twist in the end. Overall a not bad debut for Jay the director althought his acting is nothing to shout about.

Slimming Part 1 + Concert Photos

Cheers!!!!
I ran much further today! Hope to improve on this next week.
3 x Cookies for dinner today.

Go Go Go! :)

Just gotten all my concert photos sorted out, here are some photos of my last few concerts.

Jacky Cheung World Tour 2007 - Singapore 13/07/2007

WOAHHHHHH!
Finally! I finally hear Jacky sing live!

His voice is Awesome..... Althought some cantonese songs i can't really sing along. But still shiok.
But some old classics i do know how to sing wor -> 每天爱你多一些 & 只想一生跟你走.

He incorporated a short Musical as well ( Mixed of both 雪狼湖 and 如果爱 ) .

The sad thing is that he did not sing 1 of my favourite song...too bad..

But never the less..it was still a wonderful night.

Sore Body II

Another tired day, did the same routine as Monday; jog, sit up and push up.
But i slept well.

Wonder how long before i will see some result from all these workouts?

Another busy day in office , finalising Cambodia launch preparation, chasing POs from dealers.

Going off to lunch soon.

Sore Body

Woke up today with sore body. Muscle ache, body tired.
I went for a Jog last evening and follow up with sit ups and push ups.
I need the exercise to control my expanding waist line.

But alas...ate 4 x delicious dark chocolate cookies made by Diana last night...
Hope my exercise is enough to offset the fat i would gain from the cookies.

WOW Update!

Just got my Sunfury Bow of Phoneix and Tier 4 Helm from Karazhan Prince Malchezaar on last friday.

We did Gruul Lair today.. need more practice and coordination.

My Son

Scooby, My Son, 11yrs old now. Old dog le.

Transformer!!!!

Went to catch Transformer on the 7 July.
Location = Vivo City, GV Cinema.
I got the GV Gold Class Seats....for Diana and i.
Good service and very comfy seats....so nice...
And with a blockbuster movie....TRANSFORMER...IT WAS A GREAT DAY!
But at SGD30 bucks per person.. well.. can't go too often...
Target next maybe Harry Potter :P

This is the second time i feel so excited about a movie.
It is like our childhood heros come into life.
The first show is LOTR part 1...seeing the fantasy figures and magic spells which i could only imagined in the past came alive in the show....WOAHHHHHHHH....

GTG now. Night Everyone.

PS : Found a new shopping place, Haji Lane...bought a nice Polo Tee Shirt too :P

Back from Cambodia.

Hotel is good ...Intercontinental ...what do you expect...5 stars :P
Most of my meals were with client, not really my cup of tea... Khmer food a bit unique... lucky the last day chinese dinner perked me up abit..good old chinese meal.

Training went well.. but realised that they need more training...in Microsoft and Intel products...may have to prepare material for Microsoft and Intel next time.

Phnom Penh is a simple town...have some clusters of pubs and 2 major discos, Sparks and Rock. Did not venture to any yet...but did drove past Sparks and Rock.

Lucky me... i managed to squeeze in some time for shopping on this trip..kekeke..
Dmg about 60 Usd... DVDs plus some tees and a bermudas.

Back in Singapore today...so tired...
Still have to sweep the floor..unpack...wash clothes...

I ended my birthday at a pub with my bro Martin and Ah Seng...had a few drinks... A short night for me as i was tired....so i went home early to rest...

This is it, my 31st Birthday... nothing much.. but i spent it with ppl i treasure.

Zombie Day

Playing soccer in the evening and sleeping at 3am is something i can't do often....
The lack of sleep is killing me...

Blog for the lost year

It's been awhile since my last blog.... almost a year...

The 12 months in a glance
Family
My beloved brother, Wei Peng passed away in Feb 22 2007.
It was a huge blow to us....it still is i guess..thou we brothers did not mention it...but we do miss him.

Nothing much change on my father side..except he got admitted to hospital twice for minor surgery. It happened somewhere in April May period.
As usual, he used money like tissues.....Sigh

Work
Ups and downs...changed of boss... a lady one. Nice boss she is...
I am handling Cambodia now on top of the local accounts.
Guess in a way it is looking up for me in this aspect.
Going back to Cambodia next week. Bz bz again.

Health
Sleep is a problem...as usual... Knees acting up once a while.
Played street soccer last week...woah... i am old... so tired..lol
Really need to make an effort to start jogging.




Travel
Been to Cambodia to see the ancient AngKor Wat and learned about the Khmer Rouge.
And in yr 2007 May, i made my 2nd trip to HongKong.

Concerts
Managed to attend a few concerts over this period, Liang Jing Ru, Mayday, Sun Yan Zi, Emil Chou. Looking forward the next month Jacky Cheung. Cheers!

Sports
Arsenal ended the season empty handed and lost Henry to Barca post season.
Sigh. Hope next season will be a better year for Arsenal. Good Luck to Henry!

Affairs of the heart
All i can say is this
Life is never exactly black and white. Find that perfect shade of grey and try to live happily.

Tired... slpy now.
