Nina participate in a mini concert organise by her music school on 22 Dec. This mini concert is for young muicians (beginner) to gain confidence in performing on stage. Nina perform two songs using electronic keyboard, 1. Up on the House Top and Toyland.

Here are some photos.

The result of secondary one posting is out on 19 Dec, Nina got her first choice school, Commonwealth Secondary School. She is so happy, me too. At least Commonwealth is a better school. Hope her class dun have too many ah lian.

On 21 Dec, we report to the school around 8am, she was in class 1/7. We just need to collect some information, and purchase the text books, uniform. No orientation (only on first day of school). Since my SIL drove us to/from, we are back home at 8.45am. Was teasing i can actually go direct to office for my work, dun even need to take leave. Oh ..., Commonwealth and my office is only 3 bus stop away.

Nina, study hard, and excel in your studies. 加油！！

Because of my business trip and some other issue, we did not plan for oversea holiday this year.

To spend time with them, I took 4 days leave from 12-17 Dec. I was still thinking of where to bring them to during these few days.

One of my colleague mentioned that he could get a corporate rate for Rasa Sentosa, one night is approx S$190net. So I thought why not, since Nina and Samuel love to stay in hotel.

On the day, we took the express train from Vivocity. We took the wrong bus line in sentasa, after some hustle, we finally check in to the hotel room 408. Is pool & seaview, but only 4th storey.







Nina and Samuel were so excited, checking through every single drawers, cupboard and jumping on bed. After some fun in the room, we decided to visit the underwater world. Nothing new, still the same fishes, but i think the fishes growth bigger ... hahaha. After visiting the fishes, wanted to go for sound of the sea, but they are not interested. At night, we went for skyride/luge. We also play 9-ball pools at the recreation club till almost 1am then return to hotel room.

Next morning, is a sunny day, we have some fun at the beach, cycling and pools. After check out the hotel at 1pm, still hanging around sentosa for Luge before headed back home.

Althought is a short holiday, they enjoy so much. May be next time we could stay longer.

I was on business trip to KL from 03-07 Dec 2007. It is a training cum area HR meeting. It is also a meet and eat trip. Almost every day we are eating good food.

Besides the comprehensive training on one of our HR application, the mgr in KL office really know how to enjoy life.

First night, we have dinner at KL tower. This is the first time i been there, is like our 88 seaview tower, where you have your buffet dinner, and the floor will move one round for you to view the KL city. Besides the good foods, they also order good wine.

These pictures were taken from the tower:






2nd night, we have seafood dinner, is just a normal 9-course seafood dinner. As we finish the dinner early, we wend shoppping at mid villy for a quick shopping. Real quick, only one hour before the shop closed. I manage to shop for one shoe and kids watch.

3rd night, since dinner is on our own, our have a good diam sum for lunch at Hilton hotel. The diam sum is nice, but they order too much and we cant finish. After lunch, we go shop at mid village again. The shopping centre is so big, can't finish shopping in half a afternoon.

4th night, we have this BBQ dinner at our Meridian Hotel pool side. The BBQ lamp is delicious. But I dare not take too much. Of course, they order wine, I only drink one glass but they continue to refill their. After the heavy dinner, i skip the coffee/tea. So this Sales Mgr saw me only drinking one glass of wine, and didn't take any coffer, he order a Iris coffee for me. He say very nice, so I quietly ask my boss what is inside this Iris coffee, she told me is contains liquor. I dun usually drink coffee, but the coffee taste good, is a 香浓咖啡. Since it contain liquor, I just taste bit by bit. And I love the Irish Coffee. Although the dinner is at the hotel, they really dine and talk till 11pm. So tired.

5th day, the meeting end 1pm. I headed to somewhere near Time Square to eat Bak Kuh Teh. Good choice, better then Singapore as Singapore Bak Kuh Teh always add in alot of pepper. After the late lunch, we shop around the Time Square and join in the bowling tournament between Singapore and KL office. I didn't participate, but just play for fun. Eventually, Singapore office win the throphy. Of course, after tournament, follow by Brazilian dinner.
