Spring Cleaning Part I

By On January 31, 2010 · 1 Comment · In General

Just finished half of my room, the half that is bright and sunny. :D

Need to find a box to contain my huge-ass IT books, or maybe display them on my shelf to appear smarter and also so that they can collect dust for the next year. Found a folder of all my receipts from Alexandra Hospital. Did a total and I spent S$6552.82 for my braces from Nov 05 till now (I still have to go back for reviews), here’s the cost breakdown:

  • First examination and review with X-Ray S$91.90
  • First extraction S$76 (2 teeth)
  • Installation, adjustments and removal S$5207.75
  • Second extraction S$905.78 (4 wisdom teeth and 2 teeth)
  • Retainers S$188
  • Miscellaneous S$83.39

Was disappointed with the bedsheets I bought from JUSCO. The packaging said it was for Queen size yet it contained a single bed set inside. :( I was looking forward to using them for CNY. Fortunately, I’m a crazy bedsheet shopper, so I’ll be using the other set I bought from IKEA. Going to start working on the dark and gloomy side of the room now.

Marina Barrage

Another overdue post. I finally went to Marina Barrage and had the chance to experiment with my camera. :) Was pleasantly surprised to discover that the place is very good for flying kites. The wind was really strong and there weren’t a lot of trees for your kites to get snagged on. However, there were way too many kites, so it’s easy for kites to get entangled or cut each other. I uploaded a couple of nicer pictures on flickr.

Bali Trip

By On January 20, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Travel

Long over due post. I went away when 2010 began, first to Malaysia and then to Bali. Learnt how to surf, was sunburnt, had abrasions and fell into many tourist traps. Food was awesome every time, except for the first meal when we first arrived and didn’t know where to eat. Haha.

Photos are already up on Facebook. You can only view it if you’re my friend, and not in the… you know, restricted list.

2010 Resolutions

By On January 15, 2010 · 1 Comment · In General

While I’m still waiting to collect the Bali pics from Kevin, I thought I should blog about my resolutions for the year. It’s not going to be a considerable list like last year, but really simple and consists of TWO (as many many people have pointed out :p) things mainly:

  • Be healthy
  • Be happy

Of course, if you’re really particular, achieving these actually requires multiple little activities. But what’s going to happen is that these two considerations will be the basis for my decisions in my everyday activities for 2010.

I hope 2010 started off awesome for all of you and everybody will enjoy good health and wealth this year. :)

The Beginning of 2010

By On January 11, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Travel

2010 started off nicely. :) We travelled to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca from 1 Jan to 3 Jan, then to Bali from 6 Jan to 10 Jan. Will put up Bali pics once I have all the pics from Kevin. Too lazy to upload twice.

The Malaysia road trip was something we have been talking about for the longest time and finally got down to doing it. I remember nothing from the trip, due to lack of sleep, and also because we did nothing except to eat for the entire 3 days. We then burned off all the food during the Bali trip. Haha.
