KTM Railway Station @ Tanjong Pagar (which will be closing on the 30th of June 2011)

Visited KTM Railway Station @ Tanjong Pagar today..

It was, of course, packed with lots of people!

The reason for the rush to visit this railway station is because it will be closing on the 30th of June 2011..

So lots of people were there to take photos of the place for remembrance..

And we were among of them.. :)

I even bought 2 fridge magnets among the souvenirs that were being sold there.. :)

We will definitely miss this place where I took a train from there to Kuala Lumpur..

I still remember taking the train when I was only just a child, together with my maternal grandparents..

It was so long ago & feels so much like a dream now..

I took lots of photos while we were there this afternoon.. About 48 in total..

(I posted them in small image sizes as their file sizes were huge & took really long to upload, thus do double click on them for a closer look..)

So here are they.. Enjoy! ;)

1 - The Beatles #1 singles compilation album

I'm currently listening to his album.. All thanks to Jonathan Ezra & Shawn Ethan.. I've been influenced by them as they are crazy over this song - "We can work it out" by The Beatles.. They have been listening to this song consistently for the past umpteenth weeks! :/

1 is a compilation album by The Beatles, released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually every number-one single released in the United Kingdom and United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation available on one Compact Disc. 1 was a critical success and has gone on to sell over 31 million copies. In addition, 1 is the seventh best-selling album since May 1991 and the best-selling album in the US from 2000 to 2009, and the best selling CD of the decade worldwide.

The Beatles work was always impeccable. Those four young men, John, Paul, George and Ringo, broke so many records and so many barriers and they will be remembered for being the most significant music creators of the twentieth century. This collection of number ones is taken from the most widely circulated charts in the UK (Record Retailer) and the USA (Billboard).

Extremely impressive indeed!

Random pics via my iPhone 4 32GB (again).. ;p

Had these for breakfast twice this week.. Yummy! :d

Little gifts  this week..

I love my teammates.. :)

I really thank God that I have such an awesome team, such awesome colleagues & I wouldn't trade anything in the world for them!

Love you guys so much! :)

I really appreciate & love my teammates very much in this awesome company now..

Everybody helps each other without even having asked to do so..

And not even a single word of complaint or whatsoever ever!

Everybody helps each other, appreciates each other, treasures each other, respects each other, thinks the best of each other & the list goes on..

Awesome people, awesome teamwork in an awesome company!

It was the exact opposite in my previous company..

(I think I don't have to go into details and I see no point talking about the bad experience I had, working with a few (pathetic) people in my previous company..

I believe regular blog fans & blog readers of this blog of mine will know all about my bad experiences when they read some of my blog posts I blogged about sometime back/last year..

How uncooperative, ungrateful, selfish, self-centred, bitchy, backstab-others-for-their-own-selfish-means, two-headed.. etc. these few pathetic people were..)

Thank God that's the bad past experience I had.. Thank God it's way long over! :)

Once again I really thank God & have never ever a single day regretted I ever made the switch!

As much as my boss & teammates appreciate, treasure, respect me & think the world of me now.. I also appreciate, treasure & respect them as much! :)

Frozen (2010)

Imagine you are a snowboarder, on your way up the mountain in a chairlift, dangling 3 storeys above ground, before the last run.. when the night lights go out & you realized with growing panic that you've been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down..

The worst part is the place will be closed until the following weekend, which means you'll have to survive for an entire week up there, having to survive frostbite & hypothermia which is already setting in..

An extremely scary thought & a nightmare, isn't it?!

Well.. I've watched Frozen (2010) on DVD this week, and that's precisely what the movie's all about..

Synopsis

A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that they’ve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down.

With the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. Once they make their move, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. As they combat unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die.

Genre: Action and Adventure, Thriller

Director: Adam Green

Cast: Emma Bell, Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore

Joining Ironhide, Optimus Prime & Starscream today is Bumblebee!

Poor Starscream has been defeated in the 3-vs-1 fight.. But it has been a good fight.. ;)

*Bumblebee's limbs are movable, his wings detachable & he emits sounds by pressing a button located on his back*

Celebrated Father's Day  yesterday..

we all went for High Tea Buffet @ Ellenborough Market Cafe, Swissotel Merchant Court..

As Mabel Eva is working at the hotel as a trainer, we were able to eat there at a 50% discount! :)

How cool is that?! :)


My parents just came back from Malacca on Sunday night & I sponsored for Shawn Ethan to go along with them as it's the school holidays & this holiday trip is also to reward him for his outstanding results in school..

A gift from mum.. Pretty slippers from Malacca.. :)

Transparent waterproof Lifespirit backpack.. Nice gift fm Mabel Eva.. I like it cos' it's my favorite colour - blue.. :p

Here's wishing all fathers around the world..

A very Happy Father's Day! :)

Korean Action Drama - IRIS

Finally finished watching the Korean action drama- IRIS, last night..

Starring my favourite Korean actor, Lee Byung Hun..

I absolutely love this pic of him (below)

It was so nice watching Lee Byung Hun again..

He's so amazing to watch..

So handsome.. So manly.. A really awesome actor..

I've always like him & always will.. :)

"Check in"

I'm trying to use the "Check in" button on Facebook lesser these days as I realized that for the past few months or so, I've been stalked, not just once or twice but several times.. :S

It's scary..

I simply don't understand..

I'm not drop dead gorgeous or anything..

I'm crazy & wacky myself..

Why me?!

It's not fair!

International celebrities love Singapore..

Many love visiting our beautiful island..

Some even chose to reside here..

They love being here because there's no paparazzi here.. Unlike overseas..

A few now staying in Singapore, like Gong Li, Jet Li & several more..

I don't hear them having problems as such..

For example, Zhang Ziyi, who was in town recently, she was even able to go to the Night Safari, go eat hawker food, go shopping in Orchard Road during the Great Singapore Sale, all these she was able to do without anybody stalking her!

And I believe there are many other celebrities like her who could enjoy the freedom & privacy of going where they want, whenever they want, doing whatever they want, with whomever they want.. in Singapore..

Ok.. Enough of my ranting.. :p

I am just me.. :p

I may be a blogger..

But I am still human..

Joining Ironhide & Optimus Prime yesterday was Starscream!

They are waiting for Bumblebee to join them next week..

*Starscream changes its color when drop into warm water*

This morning,  we cycled to East Coast Park's Mcdonald's.. :)

(As it's the school holidays, I've allowed Shawn Ethan to follow my parents to Malacca this weekend..)

It was a beautiful morning as the weather was nice & cloudy for cycling.. :)

It was good exercise & we had a sumptuous breakfast there.. :)

Had Big Breakfast Deluxe.. Big Breakfast.. Hotcakes..

After breakfast & a short stroll at the beach, we cycled home & upon reaching home, it started to rain! Thank God! :)

Me & my bike..

I was riding it, so you couldn't see it when I took this pic..

Just reached home when it started pouring..

In the afternoon, we went to Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel

to attend a relative's baby shower..

Took this pic of my new haircut while I was there.. LOL.. :P

It's been a super busy, hectic, tiring week for me!

Yeah.. It was a super busy, hectic & tiring week for me..

But thank God, by the look of my next week's schedule, I'm gonna be able to have some leisure time as usual again.. :)

Despite being super busy everyday this past week, I still managed to "squeeze" in some time, to have lunch with 2 of my "bros".. :)

Had lunch with Jeremy & Eric at Hotpot Culture @ Marina Square on Monday...

Met my super long-time bro, Cornelius on Thursday for lunch @ Raffles Place..

And yesterday, I even went for a hair cut & made myself go for a longer lunch break @ The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf..

I enjoyed my favourite Smoked Salmon Caesar Salad, washed it down with my favourite The Original Ice Blended Vanilla drink.. :)

Don't know what's wrong with me these 2 days..

Supposedly being the boss, I supposed to/ should be telling people how I want things to be done & not people telling me how things are supposed to be done!

Hmmm.. Guess that's the problem with being too nice to people.. :P

Taxi Driver (1976)

Watched this 1976 classic by Martin Scorsese during the weekend..

Spotted this 1976 classic Collector's Edition DVD on sale at the Gramophone outlet in Jurong Point Shopping Centre..

I was at Jurong Point Shopping Centre last week & I bought it together with 2 other DVDs..

Lots of movie DVDs from the 70's, 80's & 90's were on sale @ Gramophone..

It's really a golden opportunity not to be missed!
