I didn't plan to like it as much as I do now, I thought I needed something faster that I could take along when I travel. But this little thing is just getting harder to resist. The more time I spend on it, the harder it is for me to stop learning about it. Fast processor, retina display, quite easy to use....

From Saturday Walk....
Last Saturday, when the country was buzzing with F1 event that was taking place, I decided to join DH on his evening fast walk. The route was the usual one, all the way along the river to the Fullerton Hotel and back. It was quite a pleasant to do so, although it was a little hard to walk fast because in some parts, there were larger crowds. Only towards the very end we were able to run home.
Near Fullerton Hotel, there were gates set up for people that were watching the race.
I took some pictures around the around using my iPhone. I have fallen in love with the quality of pictures that I have using iPhones, they may not be super best, but they are good enough. The picture below is Cavenagh bridge, right by Fullerton Hotel.

Got Them All, ...
I got the fire inside of me. To start going to the gym. I got my new trainers out, the one pair that I got months ago. I had no running shorts, a shocker. So I ran to the mall nearby and got myself a pair. I got my shirt, I got the gym and I got the special playlist in my iPod ready. Too bad I ran out of motivation today. No exercise. I got dinner to prepare!

Daily Affirmation Repost
I have posted this Daily Affirmation by a little girl named Jessica, back in 2010. I came across the same video, except this one is dubbed with a song called "New Soul" by Yael Naim. The music seems to fit well and this is a good reminder for me to get myself going.

Adding Colors...
Over the past two months, I have been adding more silicone molds to my collections. I do not really need them, it's a matter of wanting them much more than needing them. How could I resist the above from a local store here, called Lemon Zest. They were so adorable and they were on very good discount.
My excuse for getting more Madeleine molds? Well, they are slightly have different shapes than the ones I already have and they are bright red! I did not have any red ones yet! These molds were purchased from Amazon. So was the one below. I liked the shapes of these Mini Bundt molds, They are pretty! And I am weak. So what?

Before Wicked...
We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness. David Weatherford
Christmas lights were lit up along the street and looked very lovely and brightened up the area. It was a pretty scene.
It was in the evening of 25 December, the children had their tickets to watch Wicked at Marina Day Sands' Theater. The theater is located inside Marina Bay Sands Shopping center, where the casino is also located. Go figure, being Christmas day, the place was so full of people.... DH and I dropped them off at the theater and went off.
Our car was parked at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, just minutes away from MBS and we walked there passing the Helix Bridge that was quite packed with visitors as well. We got to view the stunning scene around there at night.

They're Back....
I hope there are always hopes for everybody and those that persevere. I know that there are so much sufferings around the world. The technology has made it easier for anybody to help out, with one click you can donate to any chosen charity. We can donate to charity far away while sitting in front of the computer. It only takes willingness and a bit of your money and you help make the world a better place. I particularly like this Boys' Brigade Share A Gift for Christmas this year. It's so handy.
Talking about perseverance, this double Hibiscus is a one tough chick indeed. At some point, I really thought that I would lose this plant for good. I am glad I was wrong, it made an excellent comeback. The leaves have grown much more and greener than ever and the flowers have started blossoming. If you have a rough day, try to hang in there. I know it's hard, but just try, a little bit longer. Hang in there. Hope things turn out well soon. Cheers!

What Customer Service....????
When some things do not go so well, we'll try to have them out of our chest......
I could not help but feel the urge to write about this woman. She came to our house without introducing who she was. I was aware that the visit had something to do with the problem that we had with our terrace. It was her responsibility to come. Having been asked, she replied that she was a Senior Customer Service of the company. It's a big company that developed the project. I could smell the arrogance from a mile away. Her mannerism spoke it all. She refused to imagine her being in our position and went on with her announcement that she would issue a letter to rectify the mistake that her company made without giving a workable solution to potential problem that could seriously affect our place. I could translate what she said into, "It's not my business to care what happen to your house!".
Such a sad thing that someone that is in the position of customer service to be so unwilling to help and really lacking of compassion. I see many of this kind of people in this place. It blew my mind away that just the night before I watched CNN heroes, I saw many people that are willing to go extra mile and away to help others and today I had to deal with someone that is completely in the opposite side of being a hero.
Let me put it this way, she is making her bed and one day she will have to sleep on it. In God I believe! He's been so good to us...

11-11-11
It's an ordinary Friday, but the date is so special that record number of couples got married today all over the world. May happiness be with them forever, or for 72 days! The day went like any other day, we had sun today, but we also had rain. It may not be as special as 11-11-11 to many people, the yellow Four O'Clock flowers in the garden looked ordinary too, but their presence helped brighten the look of the garden. And that's today's picture!

Fountain: Last Look
Right in the front terrace of our place, we had a fountain. It's not our choice to have that fountain, but it came with the unit when we bought it. There was a way to set up its timer and the water would be pumped up at the set up time. I never learned how to do it. The problem is that by leaving it on, when it rained, the water that overflowed would trigger a loud beep sound that made everyone panic as it sounded as if we needed to evacuate immediately. It's horrible when the rained at night when we all were asleep.
Knowing that, we hardly turned it on. We kept it off most of the time and after a while, it's almost forgotten and it no longer worked. We had no intention to spend money on fixing it again and again and decided to knock it down and put a timber flooring there. It's time to say goodbye.
While taking its pictures, I could not help watching the beautiful morning sky on the background as the sun was rising. I simply felt compelled to take some snapshots. It's a gorgeous morning, isn't it?

In The Center....
We attended a wedding reception last Sunday, it was the wedding of DH's niece. The solemnization of the marriage was done before the start of the dinner, something that I did not know that it could be done that way. I really thought that the signing and everything else need to be done at the Registry of Marriages office. I never really knew what the rules are anyway. The decoration of the party room was dominated by the colors of white and green apple. The picture above is the centerpiece on our table. Yes, all about white and green as well.

Now Cancelled!

Okay. The "constantly updating me on iPad2 status" Miss P, passed me the link that said that iPad2 will be available in Singapore and Hong Kong in April and also there's a chance that there might be a delay in her returning home to bring the item to me. So. I guess it is only right that I cancel my order from the US website and will re-order from the website here when they become available. I could go the Apple stores and buy, but I might get it online and have it delivered right out to the door. I just hope the price is reasonable.... Keep my fingers crossed.

Ordered & Acknowledged!

With so much uncertainty on the coming of iPad 2 to this region and with so many reminders from Ms. P, I finally decided to place my order from the USA. The delivery time has stretched so much to more than five 5 weeks, which is fine for me, mine is expected to be April 28, or maybe sooner. It will be delivered to a US address and brought back in the Summer. Let's hope for the best and there's no hiccups anywhere down the line. And no more natural disaster, please. I care about the humanity side so much more than my iPad. It's so heartbreaking that so my lives have been affected by the most recent disaster in Japan.

Quick....Snap!
It's so handy to keep a camera inside my bag. I am talking about a small one of course, that works way much better compared to my ipod touch or my Nokia. Last week, when I was in the car and I saw this taxi, advertising the jobs at Marina Bay Sands, I quickly took a picture of it. Who knows, I could apply for a position there.... like, maybe.... Food and Beverage or Bellwoman? Heh.
Today, as we were driving to Grand Hyatt for our lunch, I saw this minivan with printed ad of domestic helpers to clean the house. Out the camera and snap, snap. In case I need someone to clean my house, I have their phone number or I could check their website first. Handy. Heh.
