B'day In Beijing!

Yes! I’m officially OLDER again today. Can’t believe it has been another year since my last ‘Older Year’. Unfortunately, this year there is not big party (like last year) as I’m in Beijing working my butt off at the moment (still working today and tomorrow). I guess this is the first time I’m celebrating my B’day outside of Singapore since I was 21 (before 21, was in M'sia). It’s a whole new experience. Luckily, we managed to have a nice dinner and had a few drinks together with my team mates last night. Hopefully, I can get out of work earlier today and continue with my B’day celebration.

Back In Singapore

Home Sweet Home!

It is great to be back!

Friday night, I was suppose to work until 11pm but then thanks to my team mates persuaded my team leader to let me go earlier. We went out for dinner and then finished off the night at a few local bars and couple of us only went home at 5 o’clock in the morning!

Next day, I have to meet my friends for Breakfast (which happened at 12pm only) and then I have to catch my flight at 3:40pm. Reached the airport and have to Q for almost 2 hours! Didn’t even have time to buy my 42 Below Vodka at the duty free. Worst still, I got stuck in the middle seat again.

After reached home at middle night, I quickly dumped my luggage and went out party with my Friends again till 4 in the morning. It was so nice to be home again and catching out with my good friends.

But the party doesn’t stop here. Wednesday, my friends and I will be going to BKK for the Christmas Weekend. That means more parties there!

Australia

After 2 ½ month traveling in Australia, finally, Sydney is my last stop. It has been great but unfortunately, I was sick for almost 2 weeks (still having running nose). Sydney is so different than 12 years ago when I first came to the city. I was young and innocent then. Honestly, I didn’t enjoy it last time. I find the culture here hard to accept. That’s why I returned to NZ to finish off my study.

This time, the country is a whole lot of different experience to me. I felt much ‘warmer’ than my last visit. I met couple of new friends and definitely enjoy my projects here.

I like Sydney now because it’s very vibrant. There are so many things you can do here and of course, lots of good parties happening here.

I’m really exhausted because this week I have been working at least 12 hours a day (while I’m still sick). Luckily, today is my last day and I’m flying home tomorrow. Initially I was thinking of extending my stay and party the weekend away. But, second thought, I needed some rest before my holiday trip to BKK next weekend (and partying as well).

It has been a great 6 month. Time just fly! I have been to 8 cities in 6 months. Luckily, I’m going to have a good 3 weeks off and one month off for my Chinese New Year.

Next year is going to be even more hectic! Until then, enjoy while I can!

Lost My Gold Bracelet

Last week, I lost my most valuable gold bracelet, a gift from my late grandmother.

I'm so upset because I never taken it off since the day my grandmother handed to me. Not mentioning about the $$ of the bracelet, but it is the last memory I had from my grandmother.

My grandmother is the greatest grandmother you can ever get in this world. She is loving, caring and generous.

I wish I still have the bracelet with me :(

Junior?! London?! Another Week In Melbourne?!

Yesterday, I just find out that I might need to return to London again?! I'm so hoping it is not going to happen because I wanna go Sydney for my next project. London is so expensive and is freezing cold now! But it's work and I really dun have much choice.

And I found out from my friend that Junior Vasquez is coming to Singapore for a gig! Damn! I wish that I could be in Singapore for his gig! He is one of the longest DJ that ever be around in the industry and I still like some of his hardcore tribal anthem housey dancing beat! And now, I can only listening to him on my ipod :(

This week has be a really busy week for me. Well, despite of the new schedule changes, I will still be in Melbourne for another week, and I'm moving into town. At least, I still have another week to check out the city.

Bye Auckland! Hello Melbourne!

Time just fly! After 4 weeks in Auckland and now I’m already in Melbourne.

I enjoyed Auckland very much. Beside a good project, I managed to meet up with my cousins, my old friends and make some more new friends as well. I love Auckland because people there are very friendly and easy going. I hope I can visit Auckland again in the future.

Now I’m in Melbourne. Although it is a very nice hotel and it is right in front of the airport, which means, it is very far away from the town. I have heard so much about Melbourne, how it is a nice city, etc. Unfortunately, because it is a short project and I don’t think I’d have much time to see the city at all.

The room is very nice and spacious. However, I have the view on the other side of the building (not facing the runway), which is facing a massive carpark. So instead of counting the flights, I have been counting the cars at the carpark….lol… But, frankly speaking, it is still a nice view because there was no building around, giving you a very open space feeling and I can almost see the city from here. The lights at night make it even more wonderful.

It is the horse racing carnival weekend here, which apparently is a big thing in Melbourne or in Australia. My team mates went to the race, where everybody will dress up, guys in suit, women each had a tastefully designed hair piece to go along with their dress. Of course, nobody really cares about the race; they are there to get pissed only. I didn’t go because I was really tired from my night shift last week and early flight that morning. So I slept in.

However, in the evening, I met up with my team mates in town for more drinking for them. Actually, my impression of Australia before was not very good, I think it didn’t change much at all in Melbourne either. First, the weather was really shitty (even today) and secondly, I thought Singapore Taxi was bad, Melbourne is even worst!! It is very hard to get a taxi and when you got one, they just refuse to take you if you are not going very far!

Anyway, I still hope I will have a good time in Australia.
