Simply The Best

The last day of CNY holidays, and it's just simply the best. I didn't even lay my legs a step out of the house. Quite a laid back and relax day. Umm... gone are all major holidays. Hopefully ...the coming year will be all but prosperous for me and the rest of the world. Good health and wealth.

Total Revamp!

Crazy! Ya! I am kind of gone crazy. The past few days! Gosh! keep on eating. And I am really feeling that my love handles inching up day by day, my chin's layering and my tummy...I can't go on like this. Or else, it will be too late to trim down. Tomorrow, I gonna start my workout. Need to revamp...A total revamp..my look, my body. I will explain in my next posts if there is a chance why I care about look so much and so vain(Actually not that much).
But for now just see the process that I have gone FAT from slightly fabulous ! And want to share with you how the Singapore streets are like during Chinese New Year.
[Look! No Car at All and Empty, The Street]
I started my day at 9:30 AM as I needed to meet my cousin's parent-in-law at 10AM and they said they would leave the hotel for Airport at 12.Need to meet them and send some money for mum. I supposed to go home to see mum but couldn't make it.

You know it's hard pulling myself out of bed as last night I hit the sack only around 4 am. Look at the clock and estimate the travelling time from my place to hotel and and close my eyes for another 5 minutes. I repeated doing it for 3 times and finally managed to pull myself to washroom and take cold shower. Squatting and brushing teeth at the same time and rushing like hell. I have never done my shaving, cleansing my face, putting moisturiser and dressing that fast before. Fortunately, just when I reached the bus stop, I saw the bus arrived.
[Normally you can hardly find a parking space here but Now?]
The bus is rather empty and likewise, the streets.It's a smooth ride and it took me to reach Bugis Junction in 20 minutes which usually needs half an hour in normal days. You know the whole Bugis is like a ghost town. Where were all the constant current of vehicles? The crowds? It's kind of refreshing to see the usually-vibrant-lively place being deserted like this. The noise and air pollution was like nothing to do with this place..I took out the camera and snapping away a few shots.

We talked for a few minutes and then I saw them to the taxi stand. After that, I walked around to see the quiet city. About 12:30 I was on west bound train to go to Jason's Place. So much I wanted to go home and sleep but I couldn't let Jason feel bad for not turning up. I knew that he only invited a few of us for this occasion and celebration. Knowing the rest couldn't make it for some reason so being single and alone here.. I could always chuck in a little time slot to accomodate this kind of incidents. So I am always there for everyone. My shoulder is always ready for those who tired and need a warm shoulder to lean on. A listening ears who needs to vent out something. A councellor for those who required a little bit of my 2-cents-worth-advice. Good or bad? When I need a shoulder, an ear or coffee mate..will there be anyone???? haha... I kindda slip off the track a little.

When I reached West Mall I thought that I should buy something for Jason's Mum. She is a doting mum and very friendly and warm. But I really did not know what to buy..Food stuffs I was so sure that it's aplenty at their home. Umm...Just a chesse cake thinking that Jason's mum would like it.

I greeted her I looked around the kitchen wondering if there's anything that I could help. Seemed it's all ready and so Jason and me went on to those season's snacks and goodies. We played with his computer and talked rot.

Wow we took our new year lunch. So much food. The BBQ porks stilled half way through the stomach I was like oh god...And we toasts our drinks wishing happy and prosperous new year. Jason's mum explained to me about the Raw Salmon fish salad ( Yu Sheng) and I was all full again. It's a simple fair and I am really appreciate for their kindness and touched.

After that Jason planned to catch up with his secondary school mates. So we left together and on the way, he got a message that his mates were all gone. Poor Jason, he's all dressed up and now nowhere to go. So, we went to Coffee Bean for a hot coffee. No seat at all. And Jason! can you believe want to have ice cream! So we settled it with Swesen's. Oh!!! mine!!! Their serving,as you know, are all Jambo. I chosed the smallest available with many fruits. Jason! forever no problem. When I was done half-my-cup he's asking for another glass of water. I wonder where he stored all those junkies. Whew.......
(Dear Guys! the photos' quality is really bad. Bear with me, I will get back my camera charger soon)

All the Best Apollo!

got up around 10am. went downstairs to get a paper and to see whether can get some nice breakfast. But nothing much.So I just fried a ready made roti prata and made a coffee and read the paper.
As I had no prior plan, I took my time steaming up a soup and curry salted fish in myanmar style. Just after finishing my cooking and logging on to check my mails. My phone rang and Apollo was on the other line. " Sean, come over, I had prepared some food and Jason is on his way!"Damn.. these boys, never did they call me earlier so that I would not have to crack my mind what to cook..Anyway, since Apollo's leaving us soon to join another company, it's a good thing to do to spend some times with him. But not until I tasted my dishes as they looked so tempting and delicious... na.. na.. very delicious indeed haha..
And guess what, just right when I dropped the line with Apollo(from Philipine), Anthony (another colleague from India) called, "Sean, come over and visit me. I have lots of interesting movies" There I went " Uh!Anthony, I just made an appointment" "NVM, you can come any time, if you wish you can stay over" Then I told him that I would go to my first appoinment and see when I could go over.
[After waiting for almost half hour, my colorful bus is here]
[Hello, I'm here, dont know what they're doing but they looked stunned on my suddenly appearance. Look at them haha..Jason, Mr Singapore and Apollo, Mr. Phillipine]
[I was a little bit full and thirsty so Apollo offered me a fruit cocktails and a glass of water. Sweet and cold to my heart contents , Thanks Apollo]
[No..No..another shot, I'm not ready yet]
[hee.hee.. so obvious I'm intentionally posing for a shot]
[Now then I know what they're really doing when I arrived.A Geek, Jason helping Apollo to fix the notebook]
[I told Apollo to play some tagalog songs and not to bother me.And soon, I was on cloud nine.Ummm... What a life!!]
[After a beauty nap, fully charged. Needless to say, look at our mega-watts smile and you know how hospitable Apollo was]
[This soon-to-be-daddy Apollo and Soon-to-be-30 Jason, just couldn't stay still..Jump on those fitness area and doing a crash workout for the photo shoot. No point boys, you two can't be as fit as me overnight..haha]
[He's like this, once awhile disappeared without notice. No choice, we gotta put up this Ad. So if you find him, please do inform us]
[He's a lady killer look and he thought the girl next to him was admiring him. I said "no" and he didn't believe. Here a proof boy..She's not looking at you haha]
[I tried many angles to take the best shot of him. But as you can see Mr. Singapore is lacking behind Mr Philipine and Mr. Myanmar in terms of look. The best thing is I was the cameraman of the day..So obviously how can he beat me in the look catagory right..hmm hahah]
[On the bus to Anthony's Den]
[While waiting for Anthony, we spotted this Jewellery's Ads. I like the color combination and coordination of the whole Ads. This year's Dog Year]
Look at this guys! They're out of hand! But what do you think? Two of them are fighting for something. Jason said he's giving in and up to Apollo. But do you think Apollo win? hmmm.. I dont think so huh!]
[Apolo's taking the last shot of the day. But the camera's worn out because of our nonsenses. So look at this photo, I was posing at that position for a few minutes and when the camera's back to function, I hurt my neck..Gosh]

...To..Apollo, hope this post is a memoir for us working together for a year. We may just work together for a year but our working relationship is fruitful and our personal friendship sure would be eternity.Wish you all the best in your future ventures. Jason, Anthony thank you for a pleasant day...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

Pretty much a relaxing day. Just doing spring cleaning and cooking some favourite Myanmar food to make up for myself for those busy days. All year round, I have been surviving only with cantteen food and restaurants but not home-cooked food. I do cook on some weekends but not a hearty one that take some times to cook.

This afternoon went out to shop for some bargains but came back empty handed. Most of the shops closed for business and those remained open, they're keeping an eye on their clocks. They too were anxious to go home and I just don't like the feeling to shop in such atmosphere. So I just walked around and spotted a nice hair saloon. When I realized not much people and the stylist could pay all the attention to me, I was sitting and being serviced by a friendly lady. Armani?, She asked.Oh! ya.. haha ..

Now I am waiting for a friend for a drinking session at a pub. It's a yearly affair since I got to know him. He is from China and due to the nature of his work, he could not go home to celebrate the chinese new year. And the rest of his Singaporean chinese friends are having their union dinner with their family. So for a chinese, to be left alone far away from home at this important celebration, he's always blue at this time of the year. So by choice, I am the best person that who can accompany him, drink with him and cheering him up haha..

Well I gotta go.. need to dress up and style my newly cut hair... haha am I such a vain pot? huh!

COFFEE, TEA OR ME?

I had a comfy coffee session with my administrator, Ann yesterday after work.

(Singapore Changi Airport's really deserved to be top airport in the world. Sparkling granite floors, energy conservation concepts and user friendly)


Ann is a smart, witty and fun to be with. Everyone left office earlier than usual as most of them had to do last minute shopping for Chinese New Year Stuffs and goodies.My dinner and drinking session with a friend was arranged much later and I got alittle bit of spare time. So when Ann suggested to have a cuppa, well I said why not! I needed caffine to buff my weary-self up. And what more..sweet Ann said it's her treat...haha


We went over to Terminal 2, Changi Airport. I suggested Pacific Coffee as they have big comfy sofa for our tired big asses. You know what! our site office chairs are as hard as stone you know!


It's quite a filling and relaxing. The coffee aroma awakened our tired soul and refreshen our tired bodies. We talked about all things serious as well as craps. Laughed it off and when we finished our coffees and cheese cake, our mind was at ease and ready to go home.

Today's the first day of my 5 days off. I slept till late morning. Got up around 11:30am as I was hungry. I had minced pork, tomatoes and rice noddles in my fridge. I boiled the water, threw the noddles in for few seconds and put it on a plate. Fried pork with tomatoes and thai fish sauce and topped it on the noddles. There you go, my lunch was fixed within 15 minutes.My lunch went along well with a glass of fresh milk. Haha..

Then, I logged on to check, Xanga as I heard there're many myanmars blogging. Wow really! I followed the links and god! I was like..awesome...happy.. surprised. Many kind of designs, ideas, diversities...Most of them are students and they are great.. they write well and outspoken...well...youngsters...right

So, I decided to put a compilation of all their blogs..and you know what!!!! my eyes are swollen yet I still couldn't finish compiling them.

Check out here
A List of Myanmars' Blogs
before I put up a permanent link.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

"C'mon, you live once. I'm not going to stop doing anything I'd normally do." said the Canadian Super model & siren Daria Werbowy (Wer-bo-ee) when asked how she would make sure she's not hungover and supertired when she shows up at a fashion shoot?

Adam Rapoport of GQ Magazine went on "Well, on that note, do you think Kate Moss has been getting a raw deal from the press?"
Werbowy:You know what? That whole thing, itÂ’s like, weÂ’re human beings, dude. I havenÂ’t lived her life; I haven't been through the things she's been through, so who knows. I can't judge somebody on something like that. She'll figure it out. She's a strong person. In my opinion, the press has only helped her. And it's funny that this sort of thing happens so much in the fashion industry, but you know what? It happens every day everywhere else in every industry, in every country. It's life.

It's so true. I really find sometimes the world's really wierd. We hit out judgements on someone or on something without knowing what's really going around. You would probably have been judged unfairly and foolishly. I was a victim..and everybody'd been, I'm sure at least for once. When doing so, we negelcted the very fundamentals that we're human being. We, mankind evolves around the law of nature. What happened to others, did happened or would happen to us in one way or another forms. But we like to laugh things deliciously off others' weaknesses or unfortunate mistakes as if nothing had happened or would not happened to us.

GUYS! WILL YOU GIVE UP DOING SOMETHING YOU LOVE TO DO WORRYING YOU'D BE SCRUTINIZED? I DONT KNOW! MAYBE I KNOW WHAT TO DO ! BUT HEY! I LIKE THE LINE ABOVE " YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! SO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS...... NEXT HUH!

Oh! Oh! well I'd better stop. I would like to keep this blog away from daily chores and be light and easy on your eyes, mind and enjoyable moment when reading it. And a little bit informative for those who need.

But frankly, I am lost on the format of this blog.Everyday, I would sit and spend million minutes reading the blogs whichever came my way. I want to write and post on so many things, topics. And you know what! At first, I think I will just write about my daily life, encounters, things around me and something informative for GENTLEMEN! I will still hold on to it. But I become more aware that through networking, my readers( haha.. as if I have many) are from all walks of life and around the world. I should not write something that someone living out of Singapore wouldn't understand. I should not write something that only fellow myanmars would understand. So, just look at my blog. It's kind of messy.

Umm.. let it be.. for the time being and until I have a better idea how to go aboit it, I will just go on like this..Guys please bear with me and chose what you want to read ok!

ANY TAKER? SHE IS SINGLE!!!

WOW! Guys go grab a copy of a STUFF! I saw a copy of it at Times Newslink Book Counter at Changi Airport. Look at the cover girl.She is such a hot chick! Her name is Joanna Krupa,24-year-old Polish model and she is the genuine article. Now this stunner is poised to take on Hollywood. Her upcoming flicks include The Dog Problem with Don Cheadle and Ripple Effect with Virginia Madsen—and that’s not counting her starring role in the forthcoming psychological thriller Sorority Asylum.

The best thing is "Guys! She is single!! Are you game for it? See what she said to STUFF!
STUFF:Are you in a relationship right now, sleeping naked with some lucky fool?
Joanna Krupa: No, I’m actually single. Please make sure they print single in huge letters! I had a boyfriend for almost two years, but now I’m officially single.

TO THE BOARD ROOM-1

Guys! Sean's gone mad! You might say after seeing today's title. Because all this while, my posts are about dining, skincare and the likes of my daily rants and bla..bla..and suddenly bring you to a BOARD ROOM. haha..

Well..guys! mind you!..I still am in a very sound state of mind. Just that I wanna share with you one of my many interests, corporate world so to say in broad term. So " Board Room" is going to be one of my regular entries I wanna share with you all about the today corporate world. From quotes of respectable corporate figures, job interviews, dress for success and DOs and DON'Ts. Hey again, I would like to stress that I am no guru nor a successful CEO. I will share with you what I have learned in my working life, what I have read in magazines and papers. And for my dress sense too I am still trying to cope it up with the trend but I am no where near to be labelled a trend-setter.. One reason, I am in construction industry and as we are ground staffs, our working environment does not allow us to cut a well-dressed and clean-cut image.

And I would like to write something for my fellow countrymen on the job market here, the working conditions and the preparation that they should take before leaving home so that they could have a smooth sailing in their journeys..

So, guys! please look out for Board Room 2, 3, 4 and so on...

MAYBE

Let's feel the song together guys...I think it's a beautiful song. I am not sure whether it's your cuppa or not but for me this song really means something..DOnt ask me why! I dont know or rather I dont want to explain...And Enrique Iglesias is one of my favourite male singers thus far..

MAYBE by Enrique Iglesias

If I had one single wish
I'd go back to the moment I kissed
You goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't live
Without you in my life

CHORUS:
Maybe you'll say you still want me
Maybe you'll say that you don't
Maybe we said it was over
But Baby I can't let you go

I walk around trying to understand!!!!
Where we went wrong
And I can't pretend
It wasn't me
And it wasn't you
But I'm convinced
We gave up too soon

REPEAT CHORUS

Nothing left to lose
After losing you
There's nothing I can't take
When I run to you
When I come for you
Don't tell me I'm too late

Repeat Chorus

Boys Night Out!

Yup It's all ended up boys night out! Those who didn't turn up are not boys. Got it!
Uncle Tang initiated to have a mini gathering and not just the staffs but extended to their family members and love ones. Anyone is free to bring along anyone. Boy Friend, Girl Friend, Sons , Daughters, or Partners. When I looked at the lists ..Wow..the response's overwhelming!It's a whole Teams.It's a whole 20 odds. Amazing.. Umm..I remembered I was telling uncle Tang..'Well Let's see uncle" Not because I did not trust anyone but just too many encounters in the past.
Anyway...despite all this we did have good time. We dranks, we sang, laughing at each other when we attemptted to the keys that we can't sing and went off-key. Jason sang chinese better and Uncle Tang Rck ! Wow..His Pitch and songs selection put us younger guys to shame. Ambo is true blue fillipino..He sang so well and his voice is perfect. Aphandi entertained us with a malay number and being his first time with us, he is still shy. And tell you I really like Karaoke..not just because I like to sing also enjoy listening others' singing. Be it they are singing something I dont understand or in the language that foreign to me, I just simply enjoy it.
The above photo's taken while waiting outside Somerset MRT Station
Along Orchard Road. A beautiful Evening

Jason took this picture, lousy photographer
After awhile, we headed to Cineleisure@Orchard. Wow what a beautiful sight, beautiful people all around with all kind of styles & fashions. The atmosphere's kindda.. wooo!!! upbeat and vibrant..
Look at the photo above, beautiful and young people are everywhere. My god..All cafes were filled up. And every shops.
Then we reached the K-Box.
Beer Time..Tiger Time..Hey! I am a social but not a die-hard drinker OK! I did meet up with friends and associates every now and then for drinking but and tell you guys! I can hold my glass well ok..At the right ambience with the right partners, drinking and chatting wow..it's one of a feel-good components in my life..
You can see that I was doing one of my regular " I Look at the Sky, running my hands" ..Istarted A joke by Bee Gees.
So much into the song..







Thank you Uncle Tang for organizing this singing session and Thank you guys you guys are good company and we did have fun together, didn't we?
