Cactus

It has been a busy month of june. was occipied with a project at marina square, numerous sleepless nights at the shopping centre and after a month of work and many months of planning and discussion, project cactus was completed.

Kevin got me to do up this shop which he and a few of his friends took up, it's a shop where they will rent out the box spaces for anyone who's interested to sell small items. instead of me explaining the concept, maybe you should visit their official site. so when you are at marina sq, remember to drop by cactus @ #03-367 to take a look. i will be posting the process of the renovation soon.. haha

Por Dor

It's the hungry ghost festival again. i'm sure we all know that, esp this year cos of the movie 881.. as a annual company event, we decided to have our prayer session last week, for those who do not know, this is called por dor in hokkien, i dunno what it means, just hear it year after year. some photos from the session here.

Dad lighting the joss sticks...

Mum praying for a better future for the company...

Offerings and food(our workers love this session for this)!!..

This year, we have more staff and thus more people at this event. check out photos from last year here.









Have been blogging for more than a year, slowly more annual events will start to repeat and we can start comparing photos from the previous year
After all the praying and burning, it's time to enjoy the food.. here's my nephew from malaysia, cute right? i realised that i have so many cousins that i cannot keep track of the nephews and nieces i have..

It's Wednesday Again

The week has passed so quickly, it's wednesday again, and i'm off to yveon's loft for project again. dinner was packed from the bedok corner food centre, if you have realised we are eating the same thing as last week except that this time the food is better. the hokkien mee is famous, the mee goreng is only slightly better and the orlua without or(oyster) is quite ok to me although not fantastic.
yvon made dessert, very refreshing mixture of chin chow, fresh mango and aloe vera. wonderfull desert to mark the end of dinner and the start of tedious work in fromof the computer.
Poor kaizer had none of the above, he was so happy when we were setting the table, probably he thought some of the food will go into his stomach..

ok.. work work work ..i wonder when we will finish this project.. will i ever take up a project like that again?

Busy Project

Went over to yveon's on wed again.. for project again .. and we tabao food from ang mo kio's s11..didn't know if i should post this here or on my food blog.. so decided to post it on both.. here's what we hadFood isn't good.. not too sure if it's because the food is packed or it's because the standard of the stalls aren't good in the first place.
juice provided by yvonne...after dinner... it was back to the computers ... work work work...

Year End Lunch

It was the last day of work and we went for a company year end lunch at crown village restaurant. it's at canberra road, in ns home team club house, somewhere near out factory.
My first yu sheng for this new year!! already starting to eat yu sheng even when the new year is not here yet.. remember the old times when we have to wait till 7th day of new year to get yu sheng.
Oh yes, this is my whole company.. really small. will there be a day where we will need to book a whole restaurant for year end meal? is it up to me? ... stressed.. haha ...

A day in town followed by a day in tampines.. today it will be tampines and clarke quay concurrently!!! reno for both places are progressing quite well, most of the things are up already. both places still in quite a mess though..

Yesterday was quite a peaceful day, no hic ups, nothing to get anyone fumming up, work has been carried out quite successfully... customer has got no complains... let's hope that today will be as well too!! looking forward to a nice weekend!
Sorry jl, put aeroplane again and again cos i cannot leave the site, after today should be better...

It's a Busy Working Day Again

Yesterday was another busy day, installation was carried out at the central for js gallery. js is a term that appears quite often in my blog, but this js has no relation to that js in case you think this shop is opened by js.. Work was carried out there till 12am at night.. went there to pick up the workers and end up fuming!! we have a china worker, let's call him wang. the following conversation was carried out in mandarin.

[while packing up the place]
jx: since we didn't bring any broom, sweep all out rubbish into the shop and we'll bring a broom to clean it up tomorrow
wang: no need, just sweep it to the side, it will dissappear even before we come tomorrow
jx: i do not want any complains, sweep it into the shop
wang: [still sweeping it to the side, into another shop's area and ignored jx]
jx: can can understand what i'm talking about? sweep into our shop and we'll clear it tomorrow
wang: [continue to ignore and walked away to a neighbouring shop]
jx: [half fuming] hello, where are you going to?
wang: [walks back with a cardboard box and started to claer the rubbish into the box]
jx: [feeling happy] ok good, later we'll throw it downstairs at the rubbish dump
wang: [finish clearing, take the box back to the shop where he got the box and dump the box there]
jx: hey, how can you just throw our rubbish into another person's shop?
wang: they have lots of rubbish there too
jx: but that's their rubbish, how can you expect them to clear for you? what will you do if others throw their rubbish into your pile of rubbish and you have to clear for them?
wang: aiya, dun bother so much lah, it's late, let's just go.. go ..go

[on the way downstairs]
wang: in this world, there are good and bad people and there are more bad people than good ones.
jx: [very angry] ok then you are choosing to be the majority right? to be a bad person.
wang: [silent]
[downstairs at the road, waiting to cross, red light for pedestrian, the long road was clear]
jx: ok, let's cross
wang: [stand by the road] huh? you crossing? i tot you are a good person, how can you break the law?
jx: !!!!!!!!

any suggestions of how to deal with a person like that?

Super Busy with Work

Have been really busy with work since dec.. a few projects to rush for, all the shops want things up asap so that they can open for business as early as possible... rushing this post brfore going to work now. delivered the cabinets last night till so late that when i was driving home, i was so tired that i missed a few exits, in the end the journey back took so much longer than usual... hai...

If you happen to be in tampanies, do go to telepark #01-01 (hygeia) to take a look... if you are in town, do go to the new shopping centre at clarke quay mrt called the central and take a look at #03-53(js gallery) ... but they won't be ready till next week i guess!!

Here's a peek of hygeia, look at the light at the corner, it's there not to light up the area cos there's already many lights there, it's there for feng shui, that's the wealth spot (cai wei) and there has to be a light shot directly at it.. and auspicious stuffs have been buried in the ground at that spot under the cement on the ground... actually these feng shui stuffs can be quite interesting... will post more when i'm more free... going to work now..
