Lynnsee
Tuesday 30 June 2009

Last Sunday, our princess played a little 'Lost and Found' game with us. After all of us were back at home from our weekly Sunday morning breakfast, i remember very clearly that I saw our princess walking around the house, minding her own business. No one knew when she walked right out of our gate to go on an adventure of her own. So everyone took turns to walk, cycle and drive round the neighbourhood searching for her.

In the end, dar was the hero of the day. He found her at someone else residance somewhat 100m away from our place. (And i walked all the way out to the old Seletar market to look for her). Poor thing was all wet and dirty. According to the neighbour, she has been taking refugee at their place since 10+ in the morning. And the maid cried so badly when we had to take her away cause she say she really like Lynnsee a lot.....

Monday 29 June 2009

They have been friends with dar since his secondary school days. (All the ladies in the picture are either wives or gfs). One of them will be going overseas for training next month so last Saturday, they decided to throw him a farewell party.
Its great to have known them for so many years and seeing how each and everyone of us are growing and moving on to the next pharse of our lives.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Here we are, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Definately looking forward to it after I have watched the first part. The movie was absolutely captivative at the beginning. New robots, sexy Megan Fox, explosions etc... There were still bits of humor that were being thrown in. And I like the fact that Shia LaBeouf still manage to keep his character down to earth, not forgetting that Sam is somewhat a loser and this fact does not change even though he kind of save the world before.

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the ending. The show lost me at the end. With a few explosions, the good being resurrected and wah lah!
The End....

Remembering Michael Jackson
Friday 26 June 2009

Was on my way to work today when I heard the news of Michael Jackson's passing on the radio. Couldn't believe my ears.

I guess everyone born in the 70s and 80s practically grew up listening to Michael Jackson's songs. When I was in primary school, he seems to be the only singer whom I knew from the Western world.
Who will forget songs like 'Heal the World' and 'Black or White'.

May you rest in peace...

Luxembourg National Day, 23rd June

I wanted to blog this out couple of days back but my stupid laptop started to go crazy and I just cannot access my IE. Anyway, office was involved with organising a reception to celebrate Luxembourg's National Day on Wednesday. It was held at Meritus Mandarin.
We were given permission to leave early so we could go down to the hotel to prepare and have some small bite before we started work.
I especially love this flower arrangement!

My job for the evening was to be in attendance to one of the MP, Mr Inderjit Singh who was invited as one of the VIP to grace the event. This is the first time that I'm given such responsibilities and i learn quite a great deal as in turn out there is a standard protocol for such roles.

The hotel gave the host a cake to celebrate the event. After the VIPs have left, we could start enjoying the food but I wasn't even hungry. Very tired though. Both my feet were having cramps after spending hours standing. Well, the evening went on smoothly and it gave me an opportunity to learn more and get to know my colleagues better.

Homemade Jam
Tuesday 16 June 2009

Me and dar were on our way home when we decided to stop by the mama store outside our house to get some milk for breakfast. Then, we saw this little boy standing outside the shop selling homemade jam. While dar went to buy the milk, i was observing him and realized that no one buy anything from him.

The poor boy just stood there and was asking everyone who walk passed if they wanna buy. Seeing this, I ask dar to buy 1 from him. Though it was kinda ex, but it really tasted very good. And this remind me of the summer time in Melbourne when people will be making homemade lemonade and selling it outside their house. Miss those days!

The Weekend
Monday 15 June 2009

The weekend begin on Friday evening when I met the girls for dinner and the usual bytching session at Borders Bistro. Will post the pic when I get it from AY. We talk about everything from work, family, relationships etc...

Saturday was pretty fruitful. Met up with Dar's friends for lunch at E-Sarn again. Then, it was a family dinner (together with my parents and in-laws) at the club. It was meant to be an early Fathers' celebration.
Followed by catching a midnight movie: Ghost of Girlfriends Past.
The movie was much better than I expected. I especially like that scene when Jennifer Garner waking up in the morning realising that Matthew McConaughey has left her and she was totally shattered and Matthew finally finding out what a jerk he had been. Bring some tissues along if you plan to catch it.


And finally, i spent the most nua Sunday at home doing practically nothing. And I seriously mean, nothing.

Fed Wins!!!!
Monday 8 June 2009

Fed won!!!!!! Finally, he took his first Roland Garros Championship. It was such an emotional moment, especially when they were playing the Switzerland national anthem.

He is finally on par with Pete Sampras on the total number of Grand Slams (14!) they each have won.
.
One of the highlights of the match was that there was this crazy fan who ran down from the spectator stand and jump pass the journalist area and ran straight towards Fed, while atempting to put something (according to reports later, he wanted to put a hat on Fed's head) on his head.


He was later forcefully carried off the grounds by security.
What a game!
I can't wait for Wimbledon 2009!

French Open 2009
Tuesday 2 June 2009

I almost forgot to turn on the tv to catch this match if not for my dad. Sometimes its great to share a similar interest with your daddy.
Anyway, I was so disappointed with Fed's performance for the first 2 sets and I thought the 3rd set was going to be the last. It was great to see him finally be 'on form' and turn things over.
Can't wait to see his next match!!

Night at the Museum 2
Monday 1 June 2009

After a boring week at work, the only interesting thing that is worth updating is a simple review on this movie I watch over the weekend. I heard the show was kinda lame but since I was so bored with nothing to do over the weekend, I took my chances and was hoping it wouldn't turn out too bad.

Well, it was actually quite nice and funny. If you have watched the first one, you know that the wax statues come to life at night due a special power given off by this ancient Egyptian tablet. But, besides satutes and figurines, painting also comes to live in this sequel. I love the part when the Roman general was running across the lawn and shouting at the top of his lungs but in actual fact that no one was able to hear him.
Something to end your weekend on a nice note.
