JB for the Chinese New Year!

So it’s a short break for me from blogging not because I don’t want to, but because I can’t. No Internet there. I will write when I am there and post everything once I come back Tuesday night or Wednesday.

So here is where I shower you with tons of greetings like Gong1 Xi3 Fa1 Cai2, Wan4 Shi4 Ru2 Yi4, Cai2 Yuan2 Gun3 Gun3, yada yada yada.

But most of all, Hong2 Bao1 Yao4 Na3 Lai2!!

I really miss that show… Yay for Youtube, i can search for old shows, music that are hard to find.

I can’t really pin down the reason why I love it so much. And I will personally hantam anyone who says its a cartoon for kids! It’s not!!!

Oh my goodness, isn’t the weather excellent! It feels more like Christmas than December. Winds are strong, temperature maintaining below 30 degrees, even during the day. I have to wear a sweater out in the morning, for goodness sakes! That is a first for me!

And the wonderful thing? Dry weather. Humidity just nice, no rain, not too much sun. What can I say? Perfect as Singaporean weather can be!

Yay, I hope this goes on indefinitely.

If you have a DBS Cashline account, be very very wary. (Ok… that sounds odd)

Unlike Credit Cards, the interest is charged daily, irregardless of when you receive the statement. Meaning to say, you sign the cheque, transaction is made 20 days ago, you just received the statement, you have to pay 20 effective days of interest, at 17.5% interest p.a.

Ok, my maths really lousy, but that’s a LOT OF MONEY LOR!!! In my case, for a loan of $138, in 13 days, it is close to $1 already. Thankfully I called them up immediately after receiving the statement, if I blur blur, and wait a few days more, will be even worse.

Despite being as careful as I could, I’ve been robbed… again… by the bank.

Cool news… have been reading about this on Today for the past few days, so its hardly counted as news. But I haven’t been updating for a while… so it is new. 🙂

Watching Dr. No (1962) now. Starting to watch everything in order now. No point watching the beginning of the story, Casino Royale if I don’t know where it leads. Not bad, but it is quite funny seeing some of the old video effects they used then. Hey, Sean Connery is damn handsome. Yes, I am man enough to be able to admit that. Hwei Min said she did not recognize him. True, he’s gotten older, but the same calm, suave gentlemen is still there. In fact, I prefer the older Sean. If only we all can grow old like that.

No fight, man, the new Bond…

Daniel Craig, I can’t find a picture where he is NOT HALF NAKED! OK… you have a nicer body. So what? Sean’s…. er… wrinklier.

And is it a coincidence? I am considering buying a bug detector and a camera detector.

Don’t you find it scary? Nowadays wireless cameras can fit in almost anything. I just saw a set that’s selling for less than S$200 at Carrefour.
