Night Safari

Backdate entry on 26 Jun 2009. Joined a group of friends to Night Safari. It's a promotion that the zoo had where visitors cut out a coupon from the papers to gain access with 50% off.

It was a good deal as none of us been to the night safari. No pictures on the animals as it was prohibited as it would cause alarm to them.

只剩下钢琴陪我站在这里梦想中 属於我们的婚礼却成了 单人结婚进行曲在这场爱情角力的拔河里爱我还是爱你你选择了自己
撒娇的 可爱的迷人的 爱哭的照片里 曾经的 都是你喜欢的如今我还在原地你却走回你的记忆
你说我爱你太多 就快要把你淹没你害怕幸福 短暂一秒就崩落分开是一种解脱 让你好好的想过我想要的那片天空 你是不是能够给我
你说我给你太多 却不能给我什麽分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑爱情是一道伤口 我们各自苦痛沉默是我最後温柔 是因为我太爱你
只剩下钢琴陪我站在这里梦想中 属於我们的婚礼安静了 在我枕边的梦里
我知道相爱原本就不容易爱不是一加一努力就有结局
撒娇的 可爱的迷人的 爱哭的照片里 曾经的 都是你喜欢的 脸颊的泪还温热却没有人握我的手
你说我爱你太多 就快要把你淹没你害怕幸福 短暂一秒就崩落分开是一种解脱 让你好好的想过我想要的那片天空 你是不是能够给我
你说我给你太多 却不能给我什麽分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑爱情是一道伤口 我们各自苦痛沉默是我最後温柔 是因为我太爱你

Pefection within the imperfections. Do you love your loved ones because they are perfect? Or because they are perfectly imperfect?

Birthday Celebration

How time flies, it one year after I got my licence. It's a great feeling though time wait for no one. Sent my car in for some re-spray to cover the marks made by some idiot for didn't turn properly and brushed against my bumper some time ago. It was a great job done by the workshop as my car looked new again.

Celebrated my birthday with Ivan, Kesler and J'den. Thanks for the pressies.

Ivan's New Car

Ivan got his new car last Saturday and I got to take a ride on it. He had bought the
new Honda Jazz. Interior wise, he got the luxury version. Found many mug shaped holder inside, I guess it meant for driver and passengers to enjoy their drinks while on the move. Besides that, the new slicker outlook and no spoiler, the car is quite similar to mine.

It's funny how Ivan tried to get familiar with his new car. Though with many years of experiences, he still need a little time to get used to driving a smaller car. Performance wise for Jazz is still good.

Monuments

It's been some time since I last blog about something. After a long hiatus, I am penning this down as I found it rather meaningful. A National Education been scheduled for Total Defence to allow the instructors and trainees to visit some of the monuments that tribute lives sacrificed during the Second World War.

Looking at some of the images, let’s recall the background behind these monuments.

Tan Kim Seng Fountain created in memorial to Mr Tan Kim Seng. A philanthropist, he had donated generous sum of money to construct a system to provide piped water to town.

The Cenotaph was erected in memory of those who sacrificed their lives in First World War. It was decided after Second World War, the memorial should also remember those who sacrificed their lives too.

In remembrance of war hero Mr Lim Bo Seng, the monument, Lim Bo Seng Memorial was built. He sacrificed his life to protect his fellow comrades from being captured by the Japanese Army.

Lastly, the Civilian War Memorial is dedicated to those who perished during the Japanese Occupation. The four pillars rise to pinnacle of 92.5 metres symbolized shared experiences by the four major races. Remains of unidentified war victims were buried beneath the monument.

There was also a guest presenter who shared something that do trigger my mind on how pampered we are now. He did mention on why people no longer find it meaningful to celebrate Chinese New Year. It is true that when I was young, I do look forward to CNY as it’s only during that period I do get to have a sumptuous meal. Even for soft drinks, I do get to drink it to my heart fulfill. Yes, indeed, our lives are better and we can get new clothes any time when we only get to do so before its CNY.

GPS

Friends who took my car know I am pretty bad at navigating. No matter how I prepare myself by checking the road directory before leaving the house, I still get lost. My passengers will get all the nonsense from me. Ok, I am really very bad. :P

Instead of screaming at my poor passengers for not directing me or advising me in advance on the right direction, I bought a Global Positioning System (GPS).

The Packard Bell Compasseo 370 served it's basic purpose of a GPS unit. It can direct me to the correct course to take and warn me of any ERP gantries and traffic cameras ahead. The after service of Packard Bell is pretty lousy. I have sent an email on some queries I have but till now I still did not get a reply. No wonder on the website forum of Packard Bell people complaint that the service is really bad. They better pull their socks up before they lose their market space.
