Just completed my shanghai trip today at 7+ pm i touch down in singapore... went to change in the airport toilet and headed to singapore expo straight away to see the computer fair.... sintex doesn't have much things of what i wanna get... i'm looking at laptops and pocket pc .... specs sizes and prices aren't really impressive enough. going to sim lim to bargain and price pressing is even better than sintex .... maybe people who're there to get the latest creative player or ipod will be the biggest winner coz they really have attractive prices for the players. looking at creative latest player is really an eye opener. Simply impressive !!

back in shanghai, was watching bad boy II on hbo in the hotel after my shopping. until 2am then i totally concuss. actually was tired watching the show. but wanted to finish the movie coz it's really something .... seldom would tv get me hooked on.... anywayz it's an old movie already.

shopping in shanghai xiangyang shi chang. people in shanghai are really swanky. maybe it's their culture. but one thing is that they really like to waste time bargaining on items that people buy. bought some winter clothing to keep myself warm for my amsterdam on 17th dec. really look forward to see snow maybe ?? haven seen snow in my entire life before. wondering what kind of place could it be in amsterdam where drug lords really make money.

flying had really take up most of my time already. having little off days in singapore. i'm bit tired and getting bored by the work environment that everything we do on board becomes really a routine. it's just that the people we meet and the people we work with that makes the difference in every flight. but definitely i'm looking for something that i always want in life. which is singing and hosting.

times are really bad. records industry had been hit by piracy. but i still don't mind trying. coz i believe an artiste really have to be versatile. not only singing. but learning to entertain people around them and people they don't know that makes the x factor out of them. people wanting to see them in real life. what kind of reaction they would give or react towards the bitchy media. it can be really pressurizing..... i'm still dreaming on ..... going to start producing some songs already but still looking on for someone who can partner to produce good lyrics .. the lyrics that i want .....

inspirations coming .....

so tired .... woke up 4am yesterday for a bangkok turn around flight.... there's so many so many different kind of passengers on the flight .... there's indian profile, china profile are the majority of them..... all traveling on our airline.... it's busy and rush. coz of the time constrain of 1hour 50 mins we have to finish serving our meals .....

anyway after the flight, went back home for rest and sleep for like 2 hours. then went out with a friend of mine.... she's wasn't in quite a good mood due to some problems at work. after meeting them, we went for drinks at a karaoke pub then went over to madam wong .... nothing much throughout the days coz i don't have any new flights to new stations. will be in shanghai at the end of the month. another shopping flight ... haha hmmmm and good massage plus makan !! yummy ~~

had been a long time since i go karaoke already .... time really flies.... it had been like at least for 2 months i last went karaoke ... think i should arrange more time for ktv session than wasting my time at home .... or maybe watch some movies and do some thing more meaningful ... just like monday, i went to sunset bay with dasmond, my bro, william, alfred, alvin and one whole gang .... played abit of sports and did a 200m swim !! yohooo ... guess that's the most meaning thing i had done for the past week. i should work harder !! for some gym sessions and some more time to work harder for my music compositions ....

just back from india on monday morning ... the new station amritsar that sq operate 3 days a week is not an easy flight ... especially on the way up .... but it's pretty nice to see this kind of place once in a while .... the airport is one of the most hopeless you will see ... haha and the air is very very polluted .... going out a day, try digging your nostrils with tissue, it'll turn the paper black .... scary ?

well we people in singapore should feel lucky and feel proud that they live in singapore .... but not anywhere in the rest of the world ... sometimes i think, singapore is really too perfect a city ..... just that we don't have the 4 seasons .... if we have the 4 seasons in singapore, we'll be a dreamland that everyone wanna come to ..... hongkong is also another. eating everywhere in sg is so safe .... you try eating on the streets in india.... i bet most of the people who tired will get a bad stomach ....

treasure what you have that you live in a more fortunate country. stop complaining ... singaporean are the best in complaints .... better learn how to stop complaining .... hehe :P

went out to meet a few friends for coffee in orchard and pass some presents to my team girl sherene ... coz it's her birthday on the 11th nov . so my team people bought her present. my job is to pass to her .... i'm most junior ma .. haha no la .... just that i'm free to do ... most of them got things to do lately. tomorrow i'm going to sydney again .... think i go sydney once every month at least .... i find that when i'm flying the days passes very fast .... i'm so afraid of getting old .....

was doing nothing much when i was in singapore. other than sleeping, unpacking my stuffs, packing my things and go work, have dinner with friends, chionging, updating website .... i find my time in singapore is so limited. wanted to do lots of things but very limited. guess i shall plan my off days properly. i also bought a new book, the da vinci code by dan brown. it's one of the talking point now. wanted to read the book about what it had talked about jesus during the last supper and other than that the important thing about reading books is falling asleep..... haha whenever i study, there's a potion that will make me fall sleep. it's the magic dust in ever book. for newspapers i never fall asleep i don't know why. my favourite papers it's still straits times.

was having a beer session with my younger bro in devils bar last night. not very crowded. but for a wednesday it's quite packed already all the way until 4.45am !! imagine that. singaporeans really can party .... talking back about the trip when i was in taipei .....  it was pretty fun... love that station so much ... got quite abit of clothes for guys and can enjoy the food and my fav strawberry and mango ice !! also went karaoke at xi men ding. a 15 mins cab ride.

the cab drivers there really very violent. as violent as their government. from the way they drive. they only brake the last min. haha scary right ? in taipei the food is really those finger food ! plenty of finger food. gotta drink alot of water . if not will fall sick if i carry on and eat and eat and eat .... actually i was saying how come i got no flights to china and taipei in september. who knows, they gave me my taipei and beijing flights in oct. now in nov i have another shanghai flight .... hurray !! all good food !! yummy .... went to beijing shop for winter clothes last month in mid oct. and went to have peking duck. was really delicious !! eat until i can't walk !! haha gotta shop to burn all the fats out ..... i also find that i actually enjoy asia stations the best. coz asians are more hardworking than any other people from the rest of the world. nevertheless i hope for more europe flights. cause europe is my second fav stations compare to asia. never like states. and i hate india !! hahaha the places i mean .... time to makan and get ready to go out to change money and run some errands .....

[ 30th oct 2004 ]

it had been like 2 weeks since i last updated my diary. ... was in london during my birthday... spent my birthday on the flight. but no one knows about my birthday until touch down. haha cause they started to question about my age and i told them i just turn 21 ! :P

anyway in london on the 25th oct morning at 7+ am i just reach our stupid hotel which has lots of staircase and many doors and have to drag my bags thru the doors and stairs to reach my room . went into the room it was a small stupid room with very old facilities. ok i better stop grumbling, cause i'll be there on the 21 nov again ....  same hotel ... ! grhhhh

went to oxford street to help my batch girl find her shoes that she asked me to buy. but can't find anything at all. went there the day after trying my luck but to no avail. on the day of 25th my friend, god bro, joseph, brought me around in london. was very nice of him. i bought a day pass to travel on the train in london. went to lots of places, was in chinatown, westminister, oxford street, been to see the london eye, had my strawberry cheese cake, and fav earl grey tea. yohoo ...  that's about it .... i still went back to my room and had my baileys celebrating my birthday the last few mins myself .....

on the 26oct went out to makan in the afternoon with a friend of mine. she was doing another flight to london one day after me .... so it's my turn to bring her around in london ... haha had duck rice dinner which cost 25 pounds. which is 75 singapore dollars !! oh my ! anyway during the day time, we traveled all the way up north to highbury park to see the "great" 25, 000 capacity highbury park. the home of the gunners. but the sad thing is that it's only open on friday. and i can't go into the stadium even just wanting to take pictures. for all visitors who are going highbury, the stadium will be open from 9.30am to 4 pm only on fridays.... arsenal stadium ma. very lousy .... unlike manchester united's old trafford. it's open any other day. just took some photos outside the highbury park to say at least i've been there. next time i shall go spurs !! tottenham !!
