疯狂世界

As ES predicted.. it really got better. I'm beginning to like my work though I have to get used to the fact that it's operational...operational...operational... so it's lots of approving of investigation cases, case files and so on. Most might even be so redundant and repetitive that you'll curse and mumble under your breath... wondering who came up with those regulations.

Nonetheless, it's all for public good and it's good to see some immediate results of your work. You gave someone chance and he immediately rectified his vehicle to prevent future occurrence to endanger their workers and other motorists. how cool is that.

I was grumbling about how hard it was not to see andrea 2 cubicles away to my right, buddy 2 cubicles away to my left, Jo at my 8 o'clock position.

Now, I see Roger to my left, Kevin at my 8 o'clock, and someone from appeals to my right.

Both guys are jokers and they really are simple funny guys. No bitching, no politics, just lots of good fun.

I'm started to appreciate the silence when everyone's rushing to reply to MP appeals which are stamped. URGENT. But it's alright, I'm getting used to the hardworking silence. I'll just entertain myself with my music from my iphone.. speaking of which, I need to get new speakers! my x-min dieded on me...I dunno why, sigh

It's unbelievable how busy MPs are. They are definitely paid high for a bloody good reason. People appeal when they are fined for illegal parking, forgetting to buy licences for off peak cars, driving a car on public roads without insurance and road tax. ?!!....  and many of which are recalcitrant offenders making the appeals. Senseless world.

Thanks for keeping me gainfully employed.

F1 duties for the next 3 days!! Hope I'll lose some weight from the standing!

Oh...  Renomission updates. My new dining set. Bought it from picket and rail @ 1299. Yummilicious.

Contented weekend

weekend was like a flower. I love flowers.

This weekend was well spent. I've got my dose of much needed exercise at bukit timah hike and cycling at the Punggol Waterway. Visited Putri's new abode at Punggol Sapphire and also had enjoyed a yummy homecooked dinner with lots of TLC courtesy of mama san.

Oh. I forgot about the 5k deposit I wrote to my carpenter for carpentry works. The full sum of carpentry is $14k but I believe I'm getting good value for money. haha. Cedric's gonna be so stressed..

Renovation vocabulary time!

Carpentry works in my hut includes stuff like kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinet, wardrobes in master and guest bedroom, hanging overhead cabinet, tv console with feature wall and raised platform in my master bedroom.

I think the amount of money spent on carpentry is necessary, given the limited space of flats. Even though so... what fits in my wardrobe now can never ever fit into my new wardrobes though. That's a scary thing I'll have to deal with when I move in.

Nothing boastful, but I'm glad that me and ES unanimously decided to fix ceiling fans in all the rooms. Having visited Putri's home today seeing all the standing fans taking up very precious floor space and the heat in some rooms without fans at all, it reassured me that my decision was right to minimise dehydration in SG's weather.

I'm really excited at how my new home will turn out. It will not be perfect, nothing is. But I guess it'll be pretty close to my dream home... or rather to a dream home which we can afford.

Another piece of good news.. I'll be going on a short holiday to genting, malacca and maybe Penang with ES and papa and mama san. Looking forward to that and lots more. I'm so so deprived of my once a year long haul holiday. It's a saving money year where I'll just have to subdue my urge to travel for the well-being of my bank account. Focus focus...chanting.

Till then, back to work first. Happy Monday all.

works in progress. focus. do not disturb.

I Love SG.

A closing post for the weekend.

Will be a busy but hopeful week ahead.. I've very kindly volunteered myself for as a volunteer for F1 so pls do not date me on 21, 22 and 23rd of Sep. But if you miss me, you may try to spot me at taxi stands, MRT stations or bus stops around the race area. mochi shall marshal you safely into all modes of transport!

Sharon san scolded me for being as crazy as to volunteer to burn my weekend. The things I do for the citizens of singapore. I love SG. * not the SG that Jo talked about.*

Spent 2.7K at balestier in 2 hours shopping for lights. My neck was aching so badly from looking up at all the lights that I actually FORGOT about taking pictures.....can you believe it. I couldn't. So now, it's left up to our imagination as I list down my damage.

Dining lights - cowbell style

Toilet, service yard, storeroom lights - simple round with stainless steel casing

Main door entrance lights - squarish one with frosted glass

Corridor lights - a track of 4 spot lights - love it

Kitchen lights - rectangular shaped lights

bedrooms and living room lights - attached lights from 4 ceiling fans.

Yummy. Can't wait to see how these beauties light up my house. :) 

Caught this magnificent view of Gardens by the Bay from MBS. Truly amazing piece of land sculpture art in the tiny red dot. I can never get sick of this view, can I?

thanks to Andrea.. kope the keys of the room from DnD organising comm to freshen up before the dinner.
