Huh? Pre-Honeymoon?

Its set; no more going to Taipei; well, at least for our next trip.

So it will be my fourth time, and our second time going to Hong Kong together. The trip has been booked, real quick after we made a fast decision where to escape to after our wedding. We decided to keep it simple and decided in double quick time to re-visit Hong Kong.

We will be spending 5D4N there and will be visiting some of the places we did not visit the last time we went. Places like Disneyland (ya, I know it sucks, but no $ go Jap), The Peak, or maybe go Ave of Stars at 8pm to see lighting displays. In any case, it will be another eat, shop and relax trip. This time round, we will be flying on Cathay Pacific, our first. Must see if this is a good airline.

Actually, we have also considered places we have not been to. Places like Japan or Korea. In the end still keep to Hong Kong because we wanna save some money for our honeymoon either in June or Dec. We will consider this Hong Kong only as a little get-away, not honeymoon.

If situation allows, we will definitely want to travel further for our real honeymoon....

Honeymoon

Has been wondering where to go for our honeymoon. Recently, we seems set to going to Australia, that is to go Sydney and make my friend Sandra's place as our base. From there we can drive to places like Blue Mountain, the vineyards in Hunter Valley or even go to Melbourne. Just yesterday told Sandra of our plan, she said that June is also a not bad time to holiday in Sydney. Furthermore, her parents will be there till end June, so we can actually honeymoon together with them... ha...

Sandra suggested taking a domestic flight to Melbourne instead as it will only cost about $100 both ways. Sounds good. Anyway, Sandra told me that they will be only to Tasmania from 04 to 14 June with her parents. We can either 1) Join them and holiday together. Sounds fun as her parents are darn cool and fun; 2) Take over her place and make it our own or 3) Go over only after 14 Jun. Actually, option 1 & 2 sounds good.

But, however, today just received news from office that there could be a leave freeze comes June and we were asked not to plan any holidays during this month. Darn!

Maybe, we can go year end then..... huh......

MobileOne

My first handphone line was with M1 and I had stayed faithful with this company for 8 years before changing over to Singtel. Well, dun really think that Singtel value its customer as I dun see any loyalty discount from them. They also did nothing when I told them that I will be switching subscriber soon.

So, earlier today, went to M1 to make the switch as my Singtel contract was over some months back. Was truly satisfied with the switch. Got the cheapest plan at corporate rate. It is so darn cheap man.

Monthly subscription is only $14 for Sunsaver plan which offers 100 minutes of talktime, 500 SMS, free in-coming and 3 M1 lines I can call and talk for free. Furthermore, I will get free caller display and auto-roaming for 24 months! Not only that, I was given free registration and also free 3G SIM card which would have cost me some $27. Lagi best is I got a free phone, Sony Ericsson W890! Well, I am not a big fan of Sony Ericsson and will prefer a Nokia, but what the hack man, its FREE lor....

So, left M1 store as a very satisfied man, not paying a single cent and a new phone in tow. Best is my monthly phone bill will be reduced. Next is to get rid of my Singtel broadband. Darn freaking lousy, my internet line will surely drop when any telephone calls comes in. After getting rid of Singtel broadband, next to go will be my home line... No more Singtel!

Online Shopping

Dun understand why girls always like shopping, until recently, I seems to enjoy going into online shopping sites. I was been told that it will be much cheaper when we shop online especially from sites in the USA. Been to online Adidas store trying to look for some jogging apparels but nothing caught my attention.

The other website I have been visiting recently is this, a UK online store selling retro and classic football jersey. Haha.. what else I am interested in right? Most of the shirts I wanted did not have my size, but got two I pretty like.

Here are the two shirts.

Used from 1999 to 2001. Of course I preferred the home shirt which is the red one. But no size la. Cost £24.99 before postage.

This shirt is used from 1997 to 1999 and cost £34.99. I like the JVC shirt more.

This is the shirt that I like best, but no have my size lor.... so sad...

Given that £ is at the lowest in years, I may considered getting one... no, maybe two of the shirts.... keke...

At the Esplanade

Do not think can sleep early as I had just doze off on my sofa watching Arsenal play West Ham, so do some blogging here.

Date : 31 Jan 2009

Venue : Esplanade Theatre

This is my very first time stepping into the theatre of our famous durian, the Esplanade. My virgin visit was for a play titled "Design For Living or 《华丽上班族之生活与生存》". This play is in Mandarin and all the casts are from Taiwan. Went for the play because my dear wanna see her 郑元畅 who acted in Taiwanese idol show like 惡作劇之吻. The play was written by the famous Taiwanese actress 张艾嘉 who is also one of the leading cast. It was almost a full house and I guess most of the people were there to see these two artistes.

Basically, the play is very real in current situation. The plot was set in a financial crisis where a company was planning for retrenchment which created office politics. It may sounds like a typical boring plot, but by adding the elements of love and power-struggle, the play turns out to be pretty entertaining and funny. The casts are also real good in their acting skills and able to stir up feelings among the audiences. One or two shed some tears.. hur hur....





After the play, which lasted for about 3.5 hrs with a 15 minutes interval, went for dinner with my future in-laws at the Bottle Tree Village near Sembawang Park. Food is good, as usual, but the Satay I wanted is closed. So sad. Hope the Satay man will be back come Friday... ...
