wat the sound??!

shortly after my bath, a loud sound suddenly rang in my apartment unit n i thought 'i bought a new alarm clock meh??' then i figure the white white thing on the ceiling is actually fire alarm! having too many fire drills in SG, i hanged around n looked around for a while before heading downstairs. 5 fire engines had arrived before I reached the ground........ ok, i figure where my tax $$ going to......

it was the unit above and opposite mine dat caught fire, not v big cuz not all 5 fire engines mobilised...... the firewater flowed to the opposite unit (above me) and to the unit downstairs (opposite me). The residents of these units got some cleanup to do!! A fireman came into my unit to check for any leakage....... thank goodness no so far!!

the unit with the most jui is 1307........ any takers?? gimme a share if u win!!

i still looking at my ceiling, hope i wake up dry tmw morning.....

legs up!

wished there was photo for tis........

a senior management colleague forgo his leave tdy to chair a meeting in office. he was in T-shirt, jeans & sandals which r ok since he only got last min notice...... only total 3 of us in meeting.

think he got too comfortable half-way n put his bare feet up on table edge while sitting n presenting at same time!! wif occasional f-words though he was not angry or agitated.

most construction workers i c in SG r not even dat crude!

ultimate boredom??

view from my work space again...... was so amazed how a dump truck driver single-handedly empty the waste bin contents into his truck without stepping out of the truck.......

one day, i tell u, one day I'll capture a photo of dat blue-feathered red-beak bird dat was walking around since last year!

ya, have been bored at work....... can only clock 16 hrs of actual work in tis week's timesheet, gotta creatively distribute the remaining 24 hrs to form a complete work week of 40 hrs...... tis maths can b more difficult than designing a structure!

FOC! but it's not for me......

my pay has a 30% tax deduction n it's not 'refundable' like CPF

I guess that's how kiddies here get free stuff!

road manners

rarely can hear car honking here even during peak hours cuz drivers here r generally more patient...... even if the car in front of them is being washed by those street cleaners.......

tdy saw an ambulance trying to get into the city during morning peak hours, the city-bound traffic was not moving so it diverted to the adjacent opposite-direction road instead (there is no median divider on NZ roads)....... cars traveling in opposite direction automatically give way without hassle...... amazing!
