members of Big Five "Gang of Marina Barrage".. i wonder what they will look like in 10 years, taking the same style of photos. Marina Barrage, situated near one end of marina south... good education spot for kids... it has a gallery on Singapore water resources... a demo on how the dam and reservoir worked when there is a flood or high tide. the view on the topmost floor (aka roof) was scenic. the skyscrapers from shenton way, Singapore flyer, esplanade (aka durian building) and the vast ocean... not to mention the soon-to-be-ready IR at marina bay (aka Sands). prepare a set of clothings for the kids next time... there are water fountains (like those at bugis junction).

for once, i thought whitley prawn noodles at old airport road was the best. i now give this vote to hwa kee big prawn noodles at cambridge food centre... i was complaining to my wife before i reached this place (really not easy to find)... "so ulu, you sure it's really so nice?!"... H-W-A K-E-E proves me wrong... i tried soup mee $5... soup was tasty and not too strong... prawn damn good and fresh... you dont feel the MSG after drinking the whole bowl... i think no MSG... just bear with the disorganise couple preparing the food... heard that their dry one also damn good... and most people go for $10 and $15 bucks... catch them early 7.30am to 2pm... queuing was liked 30 mins for me on weekdays and less crowded timing... psst, a lot of exec went for the $15 bucks bowl...

i still remember this incident vivialy. it was saturday midnight (or sunday morning?!)... i was sleepin' around 2am after ironing clothes and watching movie 'japan sinking'. my little girl got up around 3am... kicking and grumbling as usual... she wanted to sleep on our bed... the next moment... i woke up and found myself at our sofa in the living room!! around 6.30am... my usual working day wake-up timing... sleepwalk?! i told my wife but she said that she saw me going out when our girl slept on our bed... i had absolutely no impression... geezzz... memory lapse or really sleepwalk? PS: our new sofa was a good 'bed'... :P

these are dated photos... taken during Jinhan's (my nephew) birthday... not pictures of the birthday but rather some odd combinations. which is correct?

Above (left): Wentong and Huanjin Second row (left): Ziyi and Xinyi Last row: Zhirui close-up shots... these photos are taken during my father-in-law birthday celebration... only one is not.. can you spot it?

it has been years since my wife and i (only the 2 of us) watched a movie together due to our girls. the last time we went to the theatre watching "Kungfu Panda" were with Ziyi... i cannot remember the last movie we watched together before last Friday... the most recent movie happened last Friday "Quantum of Solace: 007". my all-time fav movie series... i think i caught all the James Bond movie series from Sean Connery to Roger Moore to the person who starred in one and only Jame Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" " to Timolty Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and now Daniel Craig... i happened to work in a video recording company while waiting for entry to Poly and managed to 'catch' all Bond series... seeing M from young to old... all the beauties and villians (Jaws)... fanciful cars, fantastic gadgets... Sean Connery was most charismatic... Tim was the worst Bond other than Lazenby... Daniel Craig, rugged Bond... with killer secret servic...

not the small change in coins... but a change in habit / lifestyle. i am feeling rather direction-less since Oct... not sure of why and how or what happen... i felt lazy or lethargic in work, becoming absent-minded, didn't feel like working or staying at home... just wanted to wonder freely and doing nothing... is it a symptom? is it the age barrier of 35 coming? i really have no idea on how to cope with it... i wanted something or some change but have no idea what the hell they are or it is... crazy notion... i started to explore my inner self more... making same changes to my habit... brushing teeth using another hand... sleeping position change... not using my PSP after bathe... while at the same time, thinking of giving to society. Yah, contributing to society... that's something that i always wanted to do... ironic, i am not as helpful or sensitive... how to give? and what to contribute? other than cash... becoming volunteer? or giving free bazi analysis? we live to -C-H-A...
