Another Christmas Splurge

Just when you thought I have splurged enough and save for my planned 2 holidays (Bangkok and Taiwan/Hong Kong) in 2010, you are wrong..
I spend money again.. sigh.. but not as much as 2 days back lah..

Here is a lowdown of my damage:

2 Ashworth 100% cotton bermudas bought from Robinsons: $88.20 (UP: $178)
1 Adidas Black Climacool cotton Polo-tee: $49

Told you I can't get enough of Adidas stuff.. Heard from the stuff that this Climacool cotton polo-tee, they are clearing stock, and by next year, they will phase out this material.. sad.. =(

Anyway, I got mine le, and that's all it matters =)

So with that said, my damage today is $137.20, and if there were no savings, I could have paid up to $227 for my purchases today *gulp*..

So ya.. I really need to save money le.. Cross your fingers that I'm not going to spend again.. Yikes..

The New Year weekend is coming,

Shopping is the best therapy,

Family Christmas Dinner 2009

** Photo on left: Family @ CafeVic, Carlton Hotel, for our annual Christmas Dinner 2009

Phew! Time pass so fast.. its like just 1 year ago that we had our Christmas dinner @ Copthorne King's Hotel.. and 1 yr later, its Christmas again, and this time, it is actually at CafeVic in Carlton Hotel, Singapore.

CafeVic was the same restaurant where I had earlier in the month, came and dine with my overseas colleagues who were down for the marathon). And I'm glad that I've made a good choice, because my parents enjoyed it a lot.. =D



** Photo on right: My meat platter! - One of the meats on the plate is actually roasted rabbit meat! Guess which one! *Hint: Its near the ham!

The spread was quite sufficient. It is actually better than Orchard Hotel.. haha.. but the price also very nice.. CafeVic is charging me at $72++ per adult.. so ya..

Anyway with that said, the photo you see on the right is my ONLY meat platter for the night, and on that plate you see, is 1 piece of roasted RABBIT meat! And yes.. you saw it right.. roasted RABBIT meat!!
If you guess it right, the rabbit meat is the one that is just to the right of the thick slice of honey baked ham. The taste was a little weird.. it taste just like chicken, but its just that at the end when you are done with chewing and you want to swallow, some part tasted a little bit sourish (just a slight sour taste!).. And I didn't like one bit of it.. haha..


** Photo on left: My favourite dessert of the nite - Unadulterated mixed berries!! Woohoo~

I had like some of the seafood like raw oysters, sashimi and all.. but I didn't took photo of it.. paiseh..

However, the photo you see on the left was my favourite dessert of the nite! Apparently, you can take whatever berries that is available, and the toppings would either be icing sugar or fresh cream.. and of course, I would go for the icing sugar!


There were altogether 5 different berries in this photo -
(a) Gooseberry
(b) Raspberry
(c) Blueberry
(d) Blackberry
(e) Strawberry

And I tell you.. it was the most fantastic dessert that any restaurant can offer, and because of this dessert, CafeVic is getting brownie points from me =D

** Photo on right: Pineapple sorbet with mix barries!

Then came the conquering of the ice-cream counter!
I have actually wanted to take the chocolate and pecan ice-cream, but there was no more, so I had to settle for the pineapple sorbet, which was good! I added in the raspberries, strawberries and various toppings and man, it taste even better! =)

I think this would be enough to make me hungry, becos' too much acidic fruit le.. haha..


** Photo on left: The chocolate platter

Then I proceeded to my favourite dessert section, and low and behold, I had the chocolate counter.. haha.. so I took log cakes, choclates and some other chocolate stuff! And man.. the chocolate is really good, because they are bitter! Yummy!

But I reckon the calorie intake of this is super high, but I don't care.. One year one time only leh =D

Besides, people also say chocolate makes one happy, which I guess I am even right now as I write this blog =)

** Photo on right: My usual "smile to the camera" picture!

Shortly after we are done with the food, we started to camwhore.. and that is where I've used some of my photo apps in my iPhone.. and the results were not too bad..
But too bad I'm not a photographer lah, or else the photos would be nicer..

If you have noticed, I'm actually wearing my new spec.. haha.. Not too bad right? My mum said my outfit today looks like a PE teacher.. haha.. so flattered loh! =P


** Photo on right: The Christmas lightings at Raffles City

After we have finished our dinner, we proceeded home.. and on the way, guess what.. the Christmas lightings were too nice to be missed.. so I've decided to whip out my camera and just take the lightings!

Wonder how much and how long they take to plan, and all.

The weather was also cooling.. and its like as if we are experiencing some kind of cold chill.. haha... its been a while since there is such a chill loh!





** Photo on right: Another look at the Christmas lighting in the Marina Bay vacinity!

People were also whipping out their cameras to take the lights..

I saw one uncle (should be about 60 yrs), actually is an avid photographer! He mounted his XLR onto a tripod, and he started clicking away.. machiam the lights are fireworks.. haha.. but oh well.. people take it as their hobby mah... Cannot blame them lah..


** Photo on left: Precious (my dog) wearing the "Robin Hood" hat which was complimentary from Carlton Hotel

Then came home, and then proceeded to camwhore the photos with my dog.. and man.. ain't see cute!!

When my mum put it on top of Precious, she was so scared that she didn't move.. My mum need to coax her, so that she would let us take the photo.

Of course, Precious struggled with my mum when the cap was to be put on her!





** Photo on right: Little Miss Precious (my dog) wearing the princess crown (courtesy of Carlton Hotel as well!)

Then came another crown. This time, its like a Princess crown..

And again, Precious struggled initially in the beginning, but after that, she sat so still and wait for us to take photo of her!

Not only does this camera has my dog'S (Precious), pictures, my iPhone also has quite a number of her pics.. my dog is simply adorable!





** Photo on left: Awww.. giving little Miss Precious (my dog) Princess, a kiss!

And the photo you see on the left is my favourite photo.. so cute rite? It simply took my breathe away.. sigh..
But she look very cute right =)

Anyway, CafeVic is a good place for such occasions.. Think will go back there again someday =D



Loving my Christmas weekend,
<<< abriel >>>

My Christmas damage so far...

** Photo on left: My new Reebook spectacles!

I was actually trying to save money, but in the end, I spent on 3 essential stuff.. the first being my new Reebok spectacles, where I actually claim the remaining $93 from my flexible benefit entitlement from my company, because it would be forfeited by December 2009 if not utilised.. so ya..

However, there wasn't any nice frames around, except for this Reebok one, which costs $240 after discount (before discount, it was $350!).. so I topped up $147 on my own loh..

I actually wanted to choose the cheaper ones, but then, it don't look good at all.. so no choice loh.. have to buy this Reebok spectacles! They are not bad rite =)

** Photo on right: New JJ Lin CD - 100 Days

And all my friends know me that I'm a JJ Lin fanatic.. so of course with my favourite singer coming out with a new album, how can don't support? Haha..

Went to HMV today to get a copy loh.. not cheap leh.. its $24.. dun koe why so ex.. but ya..

Have listened to the CD and find it quite appealing.. it is a lot of R&B and a little jazz feel in some of the tracks (which I feel its a good mix!).. so ya.. don't regret a single bit loh =)

** Photo on left: Soft-copies of the professional self-portrait photo taken during Cerebos D&D 2009!

And whilst waiting for my specs to be ready, I went up to "Picture Me" to go purchase the soft-copies of the photo which was taken at my D&D 2009 just last week!

I took quite a while to decide because not very cheap!.. But 3 out of 5 photos were so nice, that after much consideration, I decided to purchase it, and that cost me a whopping $60 bucks for 3 soft-copy photos.. expensive lah.. but I think its worth it.. its not like everyday I have professional photographers taking a photo of me.. haha.. Oh well..

So if my Maths doesn't fail me, I've spent like a total of $230.95 in a matter of 2 hrs (becos' all 3 items were bought in a time period of 2 hrs!).. scary huh.. it works out to spending $1.92 every minute.. scary!! Ahhh...

But with that said, I still like shopping.. haha..

Came home, and then bought dinner (hor fun) from the chi-zhar stall opposite, and just finished my dinner not long ago, before I actually started to write this blogpost.. so ya..

Ok lah.. gtg and sign off le.. =)

Tired and love shopping,

Lab Christmas Dinner 2009

This is the first time we are attempting this, but think it is a good idea.. May continue for a few years.. haha.

And of course, it was under my recommedation.. Wanted to go to Merchant Court Hotel, but they only have al-fresco dining, which is not very feasible lah.. If it rains, it would be a problem! so ya..

Food was not too bad.. Love the sea cucumber and raw oysters though.. I love the raw oysters so much, that I ate 7 of them.. haha.. shiok! My record still stands at 7.. wonder when I can hit that target of more than 7.. haha..

Oh well.. then after I took bus 105 back, and now, I'm still full.. man.. More buffets wait for me in the coming weeks.. *sigh*..

Raw oysters are shiok stuff!,
<<< abriel >>>

The Line @ Shangri-La Hotel

The clique who went to The Line @ Shangri-La Hotel
As if its not enough eating for the month of December, I proceeded to The Line @ Shangri-La Hotel for dinner today.. all in the name to celebrate my ex-church mate, Wendy, birthday.. it is usually whenever we celebrate her birthday, we usually go out and eat.. so ya..

And the spread was fantastic.. but the price was better! We got it at 38% discount (because it was their anniversary!).. and I can tell you that after you ate at The Line, no other buffet comes close lah! Haha.. but judging by the normal price was actually 68++ per pax during normal days (without discount), but after discount, it is charged at about $48 per pax (including taxes), which is super worth it if you ask me.. haha..
I will definitely go back to The Line someday again! =)

The spread was plenty and lotsa variety.. if you like Japanese sushimi and seafood such as raw oysters, this is the place to be..
You need to be there to know how good it is.. so ya..

By the way, I tried almost everything, and man.. I'm so full.. but if you ask me whether I want to go back there again, I would say a firm "YES"! =D..

Ok lah.. gtg le.. really full.. just came back not too long ago, so blogging this blogpost in the hope that I can digest my food faster.. haha..

** Not everything on this nite at The Line is pleasant.. somethings are better left unsaid.. but if you want to koe, ask me and I see if its appropriate to tell.. =)

I love the tissue prata and ice cream,

D&D 2009 was fun!

** Photo on left: Wellness Committee 2009 @ Cerebos Masquerade Ball

It was a D&D which I will never forget.. Never did I know I look so smart in full black with a champagne gold tie.. and man.. even the ladies look so beautiful! haha..

But the day started off super early!! I was at the hotel since 1330 hrs to prepare and all.. We started preparing the tables and prizes and all.. There were altogether 100 prizes which we must arrange and all.. Quite a feat, but we managed it!


** Photo on right: The only 3 guys in the Wellness Committee 2009!

At 1400 hrs, the ladies went to the booked day room to bathe, change and all. And by 1600 hrs, the 3 guys (including myself) went up to the room to bathe and change.

The ladies have hired a makeup artiste @ $65 nett each (which is expensive if you ask me), but man.. the makeup artiste actually did quite a good job and they look so pretty and elegant!~ Haha..



** Photo on left: Photo with my CEO!!

And not only the girls got all dressed up, we guys do our best to dress up as well!

We of course would not spend so much money on dressing up, but its just that because everyone is looking nice and all, and moreover we are the committee members, we must dress our best also lah..

So its like super madness in the room.. You will see at one end of the room, the girls sat still and they were patiently allowing the makeup artiste to make them look pretty and all, whilst on the other end of the room, the guys were actually facing the mirror and doing our hair and making sure everything is in order (and yes! I'm guilty of this.. wahaha)



** Photo on right: The 2 MCs for Cerebos Idol Nite 2009 reunites in this D&D!!

Then we proceeded down to the Ballroom to prepare for our fellow colleagues arrival, and it really felt as if we are the "brothers and sisters" of a wedding couple.. haha..

And man.. it was quite hot (esp. for us guys) because we were like in a gazillion layers (ok.. I'm exaggerating.. only 2 layers - shirt and coat).. but when all of us took the photo together (ie. the theme is all black, whilst the guys have a champagne gold tie donned on us), we actually look good.. haha.. self-praise =P

** Photo on left: Colleagues acting a skit (directed by Irene Ang of Fly Entertainment!)

And so our colleagues came in, and we did the necessary registration procedures for them.. and some of them were engaged in the pre-dinner foyer activities, whilst some were taking the self-portrait by a professional photographer (like what I do every year!)

But it is during these events, that you can see people (like my CEO and CFO/EVP) actually dress up to the theme, and I really applaud them for being so supportive! =D

** Photo on right: A toast to the Wellness Committee 2009 (after the event!)

During the dinner, I actually had a lot of fun!~.. went to stage like 2 times : one time is to be a prize steward by passing the prize to my CEO, and another, is for a stage game! The stage game was quite embarrassing but since its all for the name of fun, so be sporting a bit loh.. Glad all of them had a great laugh though!

During the dinner, there was also this skit whereby some of our colleagues put up, and its directed by Irene Ang of Fly Entertainment (and yes.. she is Mrs Phua Chu Kang!).. it was really hilarious.. but the persons who were acting the various role were even more hilarious.. Had a good laugh lah!

** Photo on left: Guys taking a photo again after the event is over!

And I wasn't in so much luck this year in the grand lucky draw.. won only a 92th prize, which is a $30 CHOICE voucher.. haix.. I was hoping for a camera or camcorder.. oh well..

Did some distribution of lucky draw prizes after the whole event, and it is a tradition that after the D&D, the Wellness Committee will toast to each other for a job well done and to end the year with a high note! And that's what we did!


** Photo on right: Ok.. this is under my suggestion, and some of my fellow colleagues in Wellness Committee 2009 actually was gamed for it! Kudos!

And of course, more cam-whore moments even lasted after the event itself! And me and my ideas, the photo you see on the left was my idea! And man.. I applauded the girls for being so game to try this pose.. and of course, not forgetting the male lead who has also bravely take this pic.. haha..
But doesn't this look so Hong Kong TVB drama serial cover? haha.. I'm not bad ya? =)

After that, packed up and took cab home (since can claim by company).. and then have a quick shower, before writing this blogpost, which is why this post is like super early in the morning le.. so ya..

Ok.. I got to turn in le.. I had like 1 full glass of Suntory whiskey (which I heard it is fermented in a wooden barrel for 20 years.. which is why there is a "woody" taste!), 2 glasses of red wine and 5 glasses of white wine at the dinner tonite.. a little "high" le.. haha.. who wldn't after 8 glasses? haha.. oh well! Got to run!!

I love my outfit at D&D 2009 tonite!,

It was well-worth the 4hrs wait!! Woohoo~

Apple iPhone 3GS Black - A touch of class on its own!
I was just a day late.. Believe you me, that I actually wanted to join in the midnight launch of the iPhone @ Paragon yesterday (08 Dec 2009 - 12 midnight, which is technically the start of 09 Dec 2009).. haha.. crazy rite? But I had to work, so no choice..
Moreover, I had to help my colleague in her project trial, so not possible to take leave lah..

Just yesterday, then I know that today I will knock off early from work, and therefore, because I reserve the iPhone, I had to collect it anytime from 09 Dec to 11 Dec.. after which, they will release to public, and I have no guarantee that I will get mine though I reserved a set!

So after work today, I immediately rushed to Paragon from my lab, and by the time I reached there, it was already 6.30pm.. And I queue 2 hrs (ie. 8.30pm) to take my queue number, and waited for another 1.5 hrs for my turn to be served by the Customer Service Officer. By the time I've paid for my handset and stepped out of M1 Paragon, it was already 10.30pm! So you can see.. I queue 4 hrs altogether just to get my iPhone, and NEVER in my life that I was so crazy about something, that I queue 4 hrs for it!

But now I feel powerful.. haha.. having one of the most sought after gadgets, and its one of my favourite brands, Apple!!
But that aside.. Actually, this phone is very good.. Its indescribable! You have to own one yourself to experience it yourself!
You cannot compare this to Nokia or Sony Ericsson because this is totally different! Even the functions are different.. so ya.. there are pros and cons of this phone.. but nevertheless, I still like it =)

Anyway, I paid $248 for this phone of mine (16GB 3GS Black), because my plan is at $56 per month (which includes a free local 12GB data bundle, which is like quite impossible to use up within a month - at least for me!!).. but not much difference, since I'm paying like $49 every month on my subscription already.
I was also quite tempted to get the 32GB version, but by thinking it through, I may not need so much space anyway, so what is the point of paying so much?

Then I also bought a set of screen protector (3 pcs) and a silicon case for $68. And because I had a MacBook, and know that Apple products must buy the warranty no matter what, I bought an extra 1 yr warranty @ $79.20, which was a 20% discount from the usual $99, because I reserved and it was like their opening special or something.. so ya..

So if you add the total of how much I spend, it was $395.20!

So this is my 2nd self-Christmas 2009 present and reward to myself for working so hard this year.. Quite an expensive present actually.. the first being my Fujitsu laptop, which in total (plus accessories), it has costs me about $2000++. So ya.. quite an expensive present this yr to myself, but I guess these are all essentials, because both all cannot make it le.. so ya.. So at least I got my essentials! =)

Ok lah.. I'm very tired from the queueing and over-exhausion from the excitement of my new iPhone, so if you excuse me, I will continue to explore my iPhone, and sleep a little late tonite, as I took leave for tomorrow (because reports have been said to queue at least 5-6 hrs for it, and I worried that I will get home late tonite, and not having enough energy to work tml!)

Ok.. really gtg le..

A proud owner of the Apple iPhone 16GB 3GS Black,

My longest run (StanChart Marathon - 21.1km).. Completed.. Finally!!

** Photo on right: My race bib, ChampionChip and well-deserved medal!

The day started at 3.30am for me, where I actually woke up, bathe and ate breakfast.. by 4.50am, I was in the cab and on my way to Swissotel, where my company runners were all meeting to take attendance and take photo and stuff!

While I was in the cab, the taxi driver was asking me like whether I'm running the marathon and stuff!~ I answered accordingly, but I was actually very tired but excited at the same time.. Never in my life have I run until so far before!!

But its all worth it lah, because by completing this race, Cerebos will donate $2100 to the Straits Time Pocket Money Fund on my bahalf, because for every 1km I complete, Cerebos will donate $100 to the Straits Time Pocket Money Fund.. so ya.. its worth it lah.. for the kids! =)

** Photo on left: Cerebos @ Singapore Marathon 2009 (aka StanChart Marathon 2009)

When I reached there, I was amazed at how many people was present.. Its like a mini Singapore already, all crowded at the Swissotel to meet friends and all.. All these are people who are running the full marathon (ie. 42km).. so ya..

Anyway, my company 21km runners (including myself) were all meeting at 5.30am, for photo taking, warm-up and stuff!

** Photo on right: The 21.1km marathon gang!!

This run was not only attended by local stuff, but our overseas colleagues as well.. Managed to get to know them a little better, because I was their "tour guide" in a half-day tour the day before the race (ie. 5 Dec).. a little more about it later in this blogpost.. so read on.. =)

We have colleagues from Suntory Japan, Cerebos Malaysia, Cerebos Thailand and Cerebos Taiwan.. If I remember the number correctly, the number of overseas runners is 29 runners, where various distances were covered - 10km, 21km and 42km.. so yupz.. Quite impressive huh! =)

** Photo on left: Warming up..

The warming-up was a bit weird lah.. but it was not too bad.. didn't really warm up as per sae, because when we started running, in fact, I was already cooled down.. so ya.. The run was about 1.5 hrs away, and we have started to warm up already.. oh well..

But before I even start running, I was already sweating like nobody's business already!

But the run was indeed very enjoyable!.. the day was like cloudy and all.. not much sun came out, so that's why I guess it was good!

** Photo on right: The Start line

The Start Line was like filled with so many people.. all races and nationalities.. it was indeed a spectacular sight, and its the first time where I saw so many people coming together to run.. whether its for personal or charity, it was indeed a sight to behold and experience!

In fact, the atmosphere was like something which I never experienced before, and man, I had a tear in the eye man! haha..

** Photo on left: Running (nursing a cramped muscle in my calf!) towards the finished line

And I thought that 21km was far.. but you see.. along the stops, there were water stations, isotonic drinks station, and best of all, the supporters like almost every 100m.. they were like cheering everyone on.. and what is most touching is that there was this women who was with 2 children, and they actually wrote a sign "Run! Daddy! Go!".. my goodness.. when I saw that scene, I almost teared and it was such a warm feeling!! you have to be there to experience it yourself..

And indeed, I must say again, that the feeling was indeed indescrible and awesome!
It is only after abt 10km that I've stopped running, and do some serious walking.. not really walking all the way, but done most of the remaining journey by walking.. so ya.. And my leg actually start to cramp at about the 17km mark.. But I persevered through, and guess what, I saw my CEO cheering me on at about the last 100m or so.. it was really touching, but becos he is the CEO, I cannot just walk.. so bluff bluff run a bit and stop after..

It was only when I almost reach the finish line, my cramp starts to set in full swing, and if you see the photo carefully (just above), you would have realised that I am in a limping position.. and yes.. I was indeed limping and running at the same time!

** Photo on right: Guys posing for a photo!

But the best experience was when I saw the finish line.. A look at the timing, I thought 4 hrs has gone.. but actually, what I didn't know is that the timing there was actually the full marathon timing.. when I reached the finish line, my timing was 2:55:14. You may think its not a very good timing, but for me, its considered good le.. becos my aim is 3 hrs, and I actually manage to succeed that.. so ya.. no matter what others may say about me, I don't care.. what's most important is that I have completed the race well ahead of my time!

After which, we took photos and all, and of course, rested my leg for a while before collecting the medal which I have, because it was indeed a well-deserved one!

** Photo on left: Taiwan colleagues and myself on board the DUCKtours

As mentioned just now, my colleague, Betty and myself were actually "tour-guides" for our overseas colleague, and man.. I love this job man.. haha.. I think I'm suitable for this line..

Oh well.. the day was of course not without any hiccups, but thank God it was actually minor enough for me to solve.. so ya..

But just seeing their happy faces as we travelled in the DUCKtours and HiPPObus, is enough to warm my heart!
On the tour itself, 2 of our Japanese colleagues actually brought their children, and man.. they were only like 1.5-2 yrs old, and they are look like a 3-4 yrs old in Singapore.. Just wonder how they are fed? =D

** Photo on right: Overseas colleagues on HippoBus

And who could forget the tremendous downpour this afternoon? It was indeed on a fateful trip that we were at the Merlion, for our colleagues to take photos, and then suddenly, just as we are about to gather and go back, the downpour started and man, it rained like nobody's business!

This was when the chaos start! Everyone was scattered, and I had to look for everyone of them.. and the guys were at the opposite site of the building, so I had to shelter them, and thank God for His reminder for me to bring a brolley, and man.. it was indeed useful!
But in the end, I think the guys were a little paiseh to see me going up and down so many times (there were easily 9 of them), and I ferried 2 already.. so they ran across in the rain, and I was like "aiyah.. you shld have stay there.."... ha.. oh well.. =)

** Photo on left: The 2 tour guides for the day - Betty & of course, myself!

And after which, because of the rain, we couldn't go to Little India, because the overseas colleague really want to see it, but it was a little far.. so we just have to go to Chinatown only.. so ya..

After that we had a pre-arranged lunch at Carlton Hotel, and man.. everyone actually enjoyed the food, and I even teach one of our Taiwanese colleagues of how to do "rojak" which he said he wish to try it, as it is one of our Singapore dishes.. I asked him how does it taste, and he said its good =)

I did ask a general commend among the rest, and the commends were good, and this shows that Carlton Hotel has some standard in the food, and I was indeed rite to choose that place.. which is why on a personal note, my family's Christmas Eve dinner would be there! =)

** Photo on right: An alternative to NEWater maybe?

On the other hand, the Japanese people love the laksa.. wonder why? hmm.. they can't eat anything spicy, but they love it.. haha..

Anyway after the lunch, they all went separate ways for their own sightseeing, and the Taiwanese colleagues ask for my directions to Arab Street, Little India and Orchard Road.. so being a typical and hospitable Singaporean, I told them what they wanted, and even told them what is nice to eat in Wisma's Food Republic, since they asked about Food Court!.. And I asked them this morning as to whether they find Orchard Road nice or not.. and they said the Christmas light-ups were very beautiful.. so ya..
Just hope they have a happy time and stay in Singapore!

Ok lah.. I'm very tired le.. it has been a long day for me, and I should turn in already.. fortunately, I got a company's off-in-lieu tomorrow, because I ran the 21km in the StanChart Marathon! Woohoo~

I'm now like applying "Yoko-Yoko" all over my back and calfs, and just hope that it would be healed tomorrow.. haix..

Aching muscles but it was worth it,
