少錢的日子 (2016年八月)

这个月的日子总觉得比较困难一些。车一连坏了两次,第一次 ( CLUTCH)有问题 ,花了200元(本来是400多元,还好德明帮自已出一半),过一个礼拜多,电池也坏了,和自已说,还好车是在停车场死火,如果在大马路上的话,或许会有更严重的交通意外。之后,德明帮忙自已按排拖车,加上一些修理(换了alter nator belt 和电池,自已又花了200元),就当做是破财消灾吧。

明年的四月,我母亲特别想去韩国 ( 刚好马六甲那里有韩国团),就出血一下,当做让母亲高兴吧,这个月要给压底钱(deposit)3000马币。开始,本来要转账到马六甲的户口,但第一次的经历,才发现没有这麽容易,才要对方的地址。在家里弄的时候,因为按错了「转到本地户口的LINK」,过一个礼拜,钱被弹回来。想想还是拿现钱进马六甲吧。在文礼换到(1对2.97) 比一个礼拜前的(1对2.94)高出三分吧。

星期六(30号),自已回到了马六甲。到那里已经是1330分了,汉忠表弟载我去他的档口吃午餐,之后才放我在附近的旅游景点 (鸡场街走)。因为表弟要生意 ,所以就自已走走就好。那里的感觉都不错,和自已说,一个人走也是可以的,十月份都苏洲的时候,大概也会是一样吧。第二天和二姨 / 汉忠了一下马六甲的植物圆,感觉还好吧。

关于日本语学习,八月三日,去学了最后一次的日语。还有和老师同学和照了一张。 意外的,还有和一位女同学拿到电话,会用到吗?女生(的电话)比较难吧。有一位男生的电话,下半个月可能可以出来喝个茶。什麽事,只有看一步,走一步了。 最少今年不会再读日文的课程了(没钱),但明年一月,可能会再读吧。最少,在家要自修,所学的才不会忘记。

新加坡国庆节又到了(51岁),应该会在家里做自已的事吧。这个月又是省钱月,和自已说,没有朋友(约),也是好事,就当做在家省钱。下半个月,要开始学用买来的相机了。

最后,要祝新加坡生日快乐,这个月生日的朋友,也祝他们生日快乐,

一个人也可以很开心的。

God bless everytime , all the time

七月的同學聚餐 (2016)

七月五日,按排了和十几位中学的同学一起吃饭。因为自已是唯一吃素的,而大家也希望能找到一个我能吃素,他们也能吃肉的地方。有人建议大概只有五星级酒店有这样的饮食。在大家都同意之下,我们去到了TRIPLE THREE 的餐馆(在Mandrain Orchard Hotel)。那里的价钱不便宜,周末一个人要108元以上。还好因为一些折扣之后,一人会给大概90新元。那天傍晚,坐思伟的车去到餐厅 。

那里的自助餐都好吧,听同学说,那里是素食友善的地方(vegetarian friendly). 但走了那里小小的地方,超过七十巴仙都是海鲜 (日本餐),只有小部份是放蛋糕的地方,没有地方是有疏菜的。感觉连疏菜友善(vegetable friendly)都不是。只能吃蛋糕(好看但不是很好吃)和水果。但看到同学都吃得很开心,也不complain 了,反正目地主要是聚会而已。当然同学们看到自已吃得少,好心只收我半价的钱(48元). 这次聚还不错吧(有12人参于)。拍了集体照才回

七月又是个省钱月,能省钱的地方,就该多省一点。关于日本语的学习,第二课到8月四日又告一断落了。想了好一下,决定晢停学习日语。我已经相信这次不会交到新的朋友。钱方面也不够让我再学,大既会停到明年一月才来打算吧。

旅行方面,这两个礼拜都在看钱币的对换率,新币涨了一点,先换了296新元 (7000新台币),如果下个礼拜再涨到1对23.80以上的话,会再换300元。其他不要去担心了。下个月才订所有的旅店(去台湾)。关于上海之行,想想不去南京了,去一下近的地方(苏洲)也不错。这个月也可能要换人民币(就当作这个月都是换钱月吧。明年我母亲又要去韩国,所以去日本的计划会等到2018年一月( 希朢去得成)

工作方面,七月有加薪一点(虽然不多,但好过没有),部门调动之下,我又换了另个经理,只希望日子能过就好,没有其他要求。

什麼都要看得開,一個人也會很開心的

God bless everytime , all the time

a relatively sick month

The second month of Jun had been a sick month; I have been down with headache, sour throat, flu and cough. Probably because I have stressed myself too much with book reading (說苑) ,that I managed to read 5 days (45percent of the book before I got seriously ill. For the next fortnight, I had to put aside all those important things and try to recover. For a while, I realized how important in health to me. I won’t be able to do much without a healthy body, so I should strive to rest a little bit more

Last Friday, I went to the movies with my colleagues at Jem. This is the first movie of the year (and probably the only movie of the year). We watched Independence Day 2. The movie were rather ok (although not as good as the first series)

Looking forward, I should be doing something important. Other than that , I should start to borrow books for my photography ( I got my camera plus the big dry box a week ago ) and I hope to be able to master the basics before the Taiwan trip this September

Talking about Taiwan trip, I managed to book the 2 days hotel at Kao shiong (for around S$80 a night , but the all the budget hotels seem to be fully booked ( or there’s a bug I believe ). Fortunately , the tour guide in Taiwan is willing to help me booked the hotel ( at S$150 per night). For the rest , I should be starting to book on july or august

Lastly , the imaginary tour to Melbourne has ended , I should paste some photos, hope I may be able to visit the place anytime in the far future (2019 or beyond)

Finally , I strive to be positive at all times

一個人也可以很開心

GOD bless all the time

blood donor day 2016

4 th jun 2016. Today, I went with my mum to national stadium for the world blood donor;s day . my mum was awarded a gold award for her contribution (donating blood for 70 times)

After a heavy breakfast , I drove my mother to the above venue. This is the first time I visited the newly built stadium , and briefly got lost as I was unsure of which car park to park .

We reached the place at 0915, where my mum registered as a gold award winner. Beside the gold awards winner (106) , there are also ruby award (200 or so winners), diamond award (80 winners) and champion awards (26 takers I think).

At 10am , the activities started with the CEO of red cross and Minister Foo each delivered a 15 minutes speech. There were many people ( but not as many as I predicted ). After 1030am , winners starting from champion going to the stage to receive there medals , following by diamond , gold and lasty ruby .

After the ceremony , we went to a nearby carnival before going home. The question I think I should ponder for quite a while , should I donate blood? Maybe if someone out there push me hard enough, I might move a little. Until then , I should keep blood donation out of my mind.

Camera wise , my friend has came back with the pricing of 865 dollars ( 165 dollars above my budget ), but since I have agreed before hand , I find no reason to say no ( just because of a few extra of 10’s bucks ?) Looking forward , I can only strive to learn as much.

For Melbourne trip , I should spend 2 days in the city , followed by a day at Mt Buller, a day at Philips island, a day at Mornington Peninsula, two days at GOR , followed by the last day at St Kilda.( Total 8 days). just to tell myself , it’s a good thing once awhile to be able to dream

I should stop here for now

一個人也會很開心,少則得,多則惑

May blog for 2016

It has been a relatively busy month as I spent a significant time doing Overtime work. There were some significant happening I might just want to pen down for a while. There are the By-election in bukit batok and preimer league fairy tale win by Leciester. Leciester managed to overcome the huge odds of ( 5000 to 1) to lift the English trophy. On the other hands, Dr chee was unable to win Mr muralli in the bukit batok ( PAP stronghold) althought he had the best performance ( 38.8 percent of the votes counted) of the 5 elections he had. Whatever the reason is , I hope Dr chee could pick up and come back again the next election (2020).

For 2016 half year report card, the days were pretty much as usual. I spent most of my effort trying to save some cash in so I would probably have some positive cash every month ( whether for the two overseas holiday or to buy the next car around june next year). On the downside , I haven’t been doing exercise and not reading enough.

I started on basic 2 of my Japanese ( there were 2 weeks break as mr Goto went back to japan ). Although I have tried pretty hard on the language , but I do not know what the future holds for me . for a while , I thought I should try to find some short term employment in japan 2017 or beyond, but I cant imagine my parents living alone , so such options should not come true after all .

Looking forward, I been pondering the decision to buy a camera. One of my friends might want to offer me a used canon DSLR camera , although he had not revealed the price yet ( probably it would be near the cost price of 799 dollars), it would not in my budget range . I should embrace a wait and see approach , and probably would buy , if he is ok to sell . If not I should just borrow one for the September tour, and just use my hand phone.

For the October trip to shanghai , I still can’t decide where I should go ( for 2 days ), should I go Nanjing , Hangzhou or su zhou ? I seriously hope someone would give me suggestion ( but who will?). I should postphone the decision making to September ( which I might just throw coin to decide)

Finally , for the June holiday, I might just start dreaming of melboune tour (17-24 ). Nicole Ng birthday is coming ( Jun 2nd ) , hope that she has a great day ahead.

Be positive , 一個人一定會很開心的,GOD Bless

2016年四月的感覺

四月是一个忙禄的一个月。月头有公司的常年宴会。去事没有去,今年不好不去。同样的,公司要求大家穿和主题有关的服装。今年的主题是”around the world”, 就是穿各地不同地方的服装,是什麽服装呢?问了几个同事都没有答案。只能自已想。上司有说,不穿服装的,一定没有机会参加幸运抽奖的机会。心里想,自已运气应该没有这麽好(能赢到任何东西),就穿长袖衣就好了。

到了那里,才知道很多同事特别花钱去租服装来穿 ,人数比上几次还多。当然也有几位同事没有穿应该的服装(包括自已),但还有有参加抽奖(也是好事吧),结果自已的65号没有为自已赢到任何奖。想想,明年(如果还在公司的话)就会拿到五年的长年服务奖,到时,应该要租一些服装吧。

这个月也拿到花红了,上司有说,今年公司的生意不是很好,应该自已找机会学些设计的知识。和自已说,能学习本来就是一件好事,但要等公司给机会(或方向),或许有点难,只能看一步,走一步了。

旅行方面,近来在想上海、苏洲、和杭洲的旅行。在想十月份的两天能去那里,感觉杭洲还不错(可以踏脚车),苏洲感觉假山很多(感觉不是很好, 最多只能去同里古镇)。最有感觉的是去南京(中山陵),但怕时间不够。不过肯定的一件事,就是不会留在上海。等九月才打算。现在就放一下「照骗吧」

关于台湾的旅行,有问过关于租车的事情,那里的人也给了一些建义。看起来还不错,最少有机会去宜兰和花莲(一天)。但阿里山的行程也实在太赶了,还是搭巴士比较好。就订三天的私家车好了,现在等私家车的价钱。

最后,睿娴的生日要到了,希望她会开心。

写到这里,

什麽事学会看得开,一个人一定会很开心的

GOD BLESS everytime , all the time

april blog 1 for 2016

After a week of pondering , I decided to cancel my handphone ( starhub ) and to take up a Hi card ( prepaid card). ah peng ( Biao ge ) mentioned that he still have a old M1 number which I help him to register 2 years ago, and he is ok to return to me the number .

I spent a night trying to understand the Hi card using method. He mentioned that it would be good to buy the 128 plan (28 dollars for 50 days). For mobile boardband wise , I need to buy another data card. so I could buy data either 300MB for 5 dollars or 1GB for 10 dollars . both of the plans only last one month. I hestitate for a while and ah peng helped me to buy the 1 GB plan , so I got more to use . since the phone has some existing money to be expired on 18 Apr 2016 ( and Ah peng decided to give it to me free ( thanks him btw ). I think I can last till 17 apr 2016 before topping up the M1 card.

When I made this decisions ( of using hi card ) , some of my friends voiced their concern on whether would I spend more or similar questions . I welcomed their concerns but I would try all my best to reduce handphone usages over the time. Since I hardly had any phone calls (probably 30 or so phone calls in a month . I had 4 dollars in my card to use from 28 march till 18 Apr .and till now (6apr ) , I managed to use only 1 dollar . and for mobile boardband , used 200Mb for 28 march to 6 march ( 9 days ). I think 300 Mb is ok for me , as I would just need to survive 20-25 days per card ( before topping up again)

In all I should limit my expense to 30 dollars a month ( from 64 dollars from my previous starhub plan). Saving sometimes is a nice thing (少則得,多則惑)

For Taiwan trip, I managed to book 3 tickets to Taiwan on 20-27 both on scoot for 977 Dollars . I missed out buying the jetstar tickets on Friday 1st apr on 69 dollar ticket ( as I got problem with my mastercard , and the prices surges to 169 dollars the next day). I have no choice but to settle for scoot (154 dollars). Althought I end up paying around 70 dollars extra per person , I managed to get a mid night flight and reaching Taipei 6 hours earlier then the jetstar counterpart.

For Japanese studies, I will be completing basic one tonight , and there will be a 2 weeks break before I start on lesson 2. I haven’t made any Japanese friends till now , but I hope positively that one should come soon

Finally , I unable to go back to Malacca this month , I should find time to go back next month

That’s all for now

一個人也要很開心

God bless every time , all the time
