So many new mall has spring up at Jurong East-Clementi-Bouna Vista area

When I first moved to Clementi, there was only 2 malls nearby; IMM and West Coast Plaza.

In a short span of 2 years, Clementi Mall/ City Vibe, JCube (only cinema nearby), Star vista, Rochester Mall opened the doors. In 2013, JEM (Cathay) and Westgate was opened. By 2014 Big box and Empress square will be opened.

In such a short time, can the west absorb the 10 malls. Human traffic seems ceaseless. Furthermore, there are places like Holland Village and The Grandstand that we can go to during the weekend. Is there any need to go Orchard?

Yes, because things in Orchard are cheaper, surprisingly. To attractive customer's eyeballs in a highly competitive Orchard area, restaurants also offer Executive Lunch promotion, things that we don't get in the suburb mall.

成日得个讲字。。。 :(

My computer

I remember the first system was a 286, then a pentium 2, celeron (toshiba laptop) and desktop, amd sempron, HP laptop and Dell laptop from company, core 2 duo dell laptop and now athlon 2 x4. The technology leap is becoming faster and faster with computers becoming obsolete in 3 years or so

A bear must be free to roam

I am back for good

Finally completed my journey. I arrived on 26 sept. I just realised my first time in KLIA main terminal is during march 2009. After KLIA was open in 1998, 11 years later I set foot there. By the way until now I never use the ERL before hehe since its operation began in 2002. There is a way for saving klia train fares from rm 35 to rm 15. This will require you to wait 30 mins at putrajaya. The average malaysian hourly wage is about rm 20. So by waiting 30 mins you save RM 20 better than working 1 hr hehe.

When I am back I want to bring my dorby to the following places

1. Desaru
2. Bintan
3. Road trip to Ipoh, Kenyir
4. Genting, Bkt Tinggi

6. Nusajaya (accomplished in Feb 2011) and Leisure farm resort
7. Langkawi
8. Cruise to nowhere
9. Mulu
10. Penang


This should happen between November 2009 to Dec 2010
The last statement cannot be achieved :(

Growing old together - Secret of happy old age

1. Make enough money
2. Teach children to make enough money
3. Have good relationship with the kids
4. Love your spouse and treat her/ him nice

Compare less in life and just do your own things

Dont always compare between yourself and others and you will be less miserable. Instead spend the time to compare and do what you think you should do. This is a more efficient way since comparing diverts your attention and by focusing your attention on your limited time you will get what you want the most out of your life. You can call this a miracle but its always sweeter and positive solving problems this way. No one knows if his/her choice is correct or wrong but its better than staying put while time passes us by. Some people are wiser if they can tell what is the thing that they want in life be it family time or career progression. The worse thing is that many people are stress up all their life and still looking for an answer. Just derive more happiness in your daily life is a good start. If you start your day in sadness you will end your day in sadness. Look forward to everyday and everyday in the morning at least you know what you are seeking when the sun sets. Dont go home each day and at nite feel so tired and bored with your life. That is not what you are born for. Energy is limitless. The fact you feel tired and bored is because the brain is dull and you must reenergize yourself with positive ideals just like those millionaire, for them to save give then untold happiness and if you ask them to spend they will cry. Its just how you train your brain to think. Why worry about work when you are after work. You should be worrying about yourself and your family instead of the work.

Is 4 months a long time?

Dorby cannot get out of boredom. The key to this cure is to use your time wisely. Most of the time we use money to spend our way out of boredom. But a better way is to earn money out of your boredom. Thats why people say u spend less when you are busy earning money, time pass very fast and u wont complain that you are bored and its the best way to save since you have no time to spend. One must be very clear what is the objective and once you know the goal time will pass faster because you are doing something you are happy with.

I am more of the solitary type of people and i seldom join the crowd. Just do your own things will give u more satisfaction then you realise. Sometimes I wonder if you help your frens to pass time or your frens help you to pass time. One should train to be equally happy when they are alone or with company. This will be the key to happiness and the most adaptable sort of person. I also need to be more patient on myself and others.

If you are those who are bored easily and constantly need things to keep you occupied, a word of advise take an hour or so try to use a pen and write down your thoughts. I always do this when I am alone and do not have anything with me to pass my time. Perhaps I got this habit when I am travelling a few hours on the bus, train and flights because I dont sleep if I am not tired. Instead of playing games, I will read, think or more likely surf the internet. Sleep is a physiological need for you to recharge not for you to be lazy. Perhaps you are blinded to think you derive satisfaction when you sleep but actually your soul will not feel any better after you sleep.

When you watch astro you are really wasting your time. Since you pay and you dont earn with that time. If the entertainment is free i at least can say I use my time to exchange free entertainment if time = money. If you pay astro, you loose money and u loose time. So you loose money twice is how you define entertainment. Internet is a bit different because you are suppose to gain something from paying for the service. So comparison wise internet is better than astro because internet encompasses entertainment if u can find the free source. I can live without tv but not without internet.

Some people choose to sleep because they are tired, some people choose to sleep because they have nothing better to do. But most importantly when you are old you will have lots of time to sleep. I witness this fact from what my parents are doing now after they are retired. Thats what I call real boredom. So when you are young try to sleep less at least you will regret less when you are old.

I will return by end of October 09

I am back in Munich to write my thesis in July 09. At the end of October I will come back and start my life with dorby. I am ready to settle down and i will no longer live my life alone because i have my dorby. I will cherish the time I have with dorby........

When I think back March 09 - July 09 is one of the most tiring days in my life where i took the most flights during this few months running between germany, thailand, malaysia and singapore. Short to say its also a point in time where a huge protest break loose in Bangkok and the swine flu outbreak which is quite contagious. Many things happen to me like I am married now and also this is the turning point that I wish to settle down. Life is always what you have the most you will feel bored. So now I will cherish a time where I can stay in peace and no more travelling which drains you mentally and physically. Some people think they are those who likes to travel but they have no idea of what type of person they are until they really tasted hardcore travelling. So to those out there, you should cherish your time and complain less because travelling entails stress beyond what you can imagine and you must always be prepared in your mind and body of any sudden change of events. YOU are on YOUR own. God Bless.

After watching Up must lei ung ung

My dorby hectic June schedule

Repair the car, go PC show on 11 June, go back Kota Kinabalu and finally I will be back on 2 July. So every weekend Dorby will be occupied.

I just want to be with my moo

When I am alone I realised that I just want to be together with her even if it doing nothing, watching tv and then time will pass very fast. I enjoy eating and talking with my dorby. Sometimes one do not realised how blessed one is until you stop and ponder the happy times you have had.

How i keep in touch with my moo moo

Life is made simple or complicated with the advent of technologies.

I always need to call 2 countries - Malaysia and Singapore

Below are the complicated call method hehe

1) Digital voice flexitalk to call Singapore and Malaysia. Also can receive call as a virtual fixed line hehe

2) Pfingo to call and receive call Singapore and Malaysia and send sms

3) I-talk Buddy to call Malaysia only

4) Ortel mobile to call Singapore and Malaysia when I am outside ( top up once every six months hehe) and receive calls in Germany

5) VOIP stunt to call Malaysia land line

6) My moo also can call me cheap cheap using her fixed line or Singtel line

7) Skype when I want to make internet call to frens who have skype

See how simple is life when you have so many choices oops.....

Perhaps one day the broadband on mobile can be used as voip too since it is already a modem with a phone number but in reality Singtel may not want calls to be routed this way else

All this will only work when you have a very fast broadband connection

1. New Zealand. See meh meh n moo moo.
2. Japan. Visit disney land.
