Idle Holidays

Duh!! Called everyone I know and they were all either on their way home or out with friends. For me, I'm still slugging through in the office. Its so boring in here. All of us are just going through the action and the most of the departmental BOSS are not around:) Come to think, its not that bad and that's how this blog edition comes in.

Everyone are cleaning their work areas, clearing all the cobweb in their computers and casually chatting with each other. Mind you, this is NEVER our office "routine" (hehehe).

Lunchtime is a little unusual. The main canteen is quite and I do not have the normal problem of rushing for a seat. It seem that this will happen next week too - NEW YEAR, SATURDAY --- AGAIN REMEMBER !!!!!!

OK Tomorrow is Christmas and I'll be idling again. However, I need to remember to cleanup my room. Its too cluttered and the Rubber Duckie is taking over my bed. The cupboard will need to be rearranged and the floor need to be mopped clean . . . . . . Is this idling????

So after Christmas, Do anyone knows what is Boxing Day? I've been asking myself and I bet all of you did too. I've been to Europe and Australia and the have no answer but really like it because its another day of official holiday. So here the scoop. Thanks to MorningNews for pointing this out.

So have a great Christmas, Drive Safe!!

idle, idle, idle-money

Wow, its the 22nd already and Christmas Holiday is just 3 days away but it falls on SATURDAY!!! - thats not a holiday, its my OFF day. Another wham/pow in the head--- New Year falls on SATURDAY also!!!!!!!.

Last entry was 9th. Time sure flies pass you when I was "busy" with all type of errants in my daily life.

Spent a day in Johore last weekend and the following Monday. Life there was much slower than here in Singapore. It was Monday and everybody was just minding their ways in a very casual and relax manner. They made me feel that it was still Sunday!!. Furthermore, I was at Danga Bay (their latest attraction in Johore - its like an entertainment park) and there were crowds of people with their children enjoying themselves. Are we Singaporean missing something?

I got control over my K700i but still couldn't off the "click" sound when taking photos. Anyone has any idea? and I'm going to Sony Ericsson Tech. Center to find out why.

Remember, that I intend to sell/scrap my 4yr old car? If you dwell in further, you will know that a lot of people are earning easy money. The person who is taking your car is charging a min 2% of the value of my car. I have no other choice because I need to clear my remaining loan from my bank before I could get back my car's original Log-Sheet. Indirectly, this person is giving me a service of paying my loan first and returning me the balance after deducting the value of my car.

Rough Calculation: Value of car = $33,000
Remaining loan =$23,000
Balance = $10,000
However, 2% of car value = $660
Finally I get = $9340
The crux of this story, the person who "helps", get $660 without a drop of sweat. Easy Money!!

Finally, someone else just got another K700i and his phone could switch off the bloody "click" when taking pictures!!!! ERICSSONNNNNN what's happening here!!!!!
