I spent more than 48 hours in the hotel.
I ate, work and sleep in the hotel.
Why?
Because we get to sleep in the hotel rooms!!!!
In other words, I was the first person to sleep on the hotel bed. Haha.
The good thing about spending the night in the hotel is that I get to wake up 1 hour later, eat free breakfast and off to work.
How convenient is that huh?
Shifts are starting on Saturday, no more 0830 to 1800.
It's a good & bad thing.
It's 2010 tomorrow.
2009 is a year with many different experiences.
The year of studying, travelling, job-hunting and finally my first official work.
2010 will be a year of anticipation and maybe changes.
The change to be better.

Off for 3 days.
Weeeeeeee.
But I'm down with flu and a bad cough for about a week.
It's Christmas yesterday & Boxing Day today. It's not as though I celebrate both of them.
Received 2 cards for Christmas. Seriously, I felt so guilty not making an effort to write cards. To add on, I didn't even remember getting Yikai's his birthday present whereby he never fails to forget my birthday to the extent of sending it to Switzerland this year. Waaaa.
Was at Woon Han's house on the eve for gathering.
I was the victim for wrestling.
Met P Group for lunch today. As usual, the full strength wasn't there. Heh.
Will be staying in the hotel on Monday & Tuesday next week to 'test' the rooms. It's FREE!!
It's good to stay on Tuesday night because I'm working morning on Wednesday. How convenient!
I'm sleeping soon, despite just waking up at 7plus just now.
The medicine is taking it's effect.
Hopefully by Monday I will recover and work at full force. =)

Isn't it a long day???????
I complained that I couldn't sleep a month ago. But now I fall asleep almost immediately I close my eyes.
I saw one of the most disgusting thing ever! during the week!!!!
Some stupid human SHIT on the staircase. In detail, it was 'lau sai' on 2 of the steps.
Such a warm greeting in the morning that triggered the senses of my eyes and nose.
Should have taken a photo of it man, but I guess I was just tooooooo disgusted to do that.
Had supper and beer with my colleagues last night. The whole front office except the concierge team. They opened like around 24 bottles of beer.
I drove the car out last week.
On the expressway and parking without poles. Haha.
It was ok just that I nearly hit another car while parking because my marksmanship to park the car into the slot wasn't good enough. Haha.

Busy busy.
And being busy means less time with Johnson unlike during the past few weeks when I can meet meet as and whenever I want. But the good thing is, I fall asleep real fast. Haha.
Anyway, I wanted to post about this issue for some time.
Branded goods. Hahaha.
Somehow or rather, I am seeing people carrying them around so often then before and even a teenager will carry one.
It never fails to make me wonder how can they afford to buy them. Even if they can afford to buy them, it makes me think, why do they want to buy it.
You can show me products from LV, Gucci, Prada or whatever, and ask me the price. You will be shock to hear how much I quote them because I know nuts about them.
I can't say I don't own any of them.
But things I BOUGHT and considering the most branded of them all is maybe a Samsonite bag, a creative MP3 player, perfume and Levi's jeans.
All below a hundred. Heh.
I bet people will say, "see a few years later you will buy a not".
On my stand now, I believe I won't, because I don't splurge. I save.
It's a habit.
Don't believe ask my parents, my sister and Johnson.
On the other hand, Johnson splurges on me.
Shall not state brands, but I have told him not to spend sooooo much already. Right?
I have never thought of wanting to own something or rather buy something branded. To me, it doesn't matter.
Because I know the money can be used for more meaningful purpose.

After spending close to 1.5k with an additional $500 sponsorship from the start of July, I finally made it.
I passed my driving practical test in one attempt.
Let me emphasize again. ONE attempt. Haha.
Wasn't very nervous during the test, it was after that while waiting for the results.
But after getting the results, I didn't felt "YAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I have LICENSE!!"
Just simply, I passed. No need to spend money & time on driving lessons.
In conclusion, I'm an official driver on the road.
Ahem, MANUAL k. Haha.

My camera's quality isn't good comparing to those of a SLR.
But there are times when the SLR isn't around. Haha.
The three of us at Notre Dame
I still like this picture very much!!
One of the better pictures taken by someone else
You know, my dad doesn't smile in most pictures. This is one where he strikes a victory sign and smiling.
Aren't this froggies cute???
There are made of chocolate!! I have the temptation to buy them down but after much consideration I felt it was a waste of money.

Interesting situations/objects can be very commonly found, it is just whether or not it is being captured.
When couples fight, the guy defends by just stretching out his arm.
When you are in a foreign land, and you stepped into a Singapore restaurant, the first thing you do is not to eat when the food arrives.
You take pictures of the food.
When you are tired in the Lourve Museum and there are no seats around.
When your backpack is heavy, and you want to shop for souvenirs.
What a Switzerland identification card looks like. It even has your signature.
The Toblerone has a mountain on it's packaging and the mountain, Matterhorn, is being captured below.
I still think that the name of this bar is damn interesting.
When people don't pay much attention, or maybe they do but they had forgotten about it, your camera remembers them.
This picture shows that the person is aware of the photo taken, but does she remember its existence?
When you are bored at the Lion Monument, you strike some Yoga poses.
I wonder if you can spot it. The person with the expression different from others.
