SLA

SLA has a S$12million fraud case. The protagonist bought many things with the money, including a Lamborghini.

I applied for a job at SLA long time ago and one of the personality test questions they asked was “what is your dream car?”

Maybe if I had said Lamborghini, I’d be working there now and getting the spoils of some of the S$12 million now.

 

Member

Im now a Term Member of a golf club in JB. Ive been playing there every Saturday morning for the last 4-5 months and thought it’d be more economical to be a member.

The place is really dilapidated. Lousy, dirty pool, not very clean showers, with an F&B outlet ive never eaten at before. But hey, they have two courses there, so that’s all it matters.

I just need to play 13 times within a year to break even and ive already played 2 times. Kio dio!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assistant

Some of you may know I am a fan of The Office.

In the show, there's a character - Dwight Schrute whose title is Assistant to the Regional Manager. He's quite pompous so when he introduces himself, he'll say he's the Assistant Regional Manager instead. His colleague - Jim Halpert - will always correct him and put him in his place.

A somewhat situation happened to me in one of my China trips.

One of the Chinese buggers introduced me as Assistant to the Vice President but im actually Assistant Vice President. :( I thought he made a mistake the first time he said it until he started calling me 林助理. :(

Ramen

I passed by a instant ramen sale the other day and decided to buy something.

This costs S$11 for five packets. Crazy.

Vrrrooom

I took the bullet train from Nanjing to Shanghai the other day. It took all of 73 mins. By plane, it's 55 minutes.

Word of advice, get the cabin numbers between 11-14. I got cabin 5 and it's waaaay in front. First class and second and cattle class are all interspersed, so front doesnt mean first class.

Phew

We took the 7PM flight to HK last night. Half an hour before the scheduled landing, the pilot announced a severe thunderstorm and he'd fly around to wait and see.

After half an hour, he announced that 5 planes were also flying around and he has no choice but to land in Guangzhou cos Macau airport is closed (Casino can open 24 hours, airport cannot. Morons)

Sian diao cos we were on a packed schedule.

3 minutes later, pilot announced again that HK airport allowed us to land there. YAAAY.

Thunderstorm was quite bad as we descended. It was pretty scary. In fact it was so bad that they had to suspend the luggage transfer. Heng our bags were already transferred before the suspension.

Mobile blogging

Its been long overdue and largely due to my inertia that I haven't tried mobile blogging, i.e. blogging from my blackberry, ipad, wherever.

But now that I've been travelling more and spending more idle time at airports and cars, this has become a very attractive option.

Tadaa!

I had wanted an ipad and ordered one from my colleague who had a lobang to get it for me on the launch day itself without having to queue. (which turned out to be a good lobang)

But i was travelling over that launch day Friday and back on Saturday so i told her to collect it and lock it in my drawer so that i can go to the office over the weekend and collect it. Hee hee.. urgent mah cos i was on leave on the following Monday and Tuesday as it was my birthday.

"Someone" came to pick me up at the airport on Saturday and when i opened the boot to put my luggage, i saw an ipad!!!!!!! Turns out Someone called my office general line to look for my colleague and told her to pass her the ipad.

Sneaky!



I also got this car wallet from my Uni friends.



Seems like im getting lesser and lesser presents every year! Boo!
