Mabuhay!!!

Mabuhay !!!! again???
Mayb some of u are curious what Mabuhay means.... it seems to mean long live in philippine language.

3rd time i m back in philippines. i seriously hope i dun haf to b PR over here. Missing alot of stuffs from singapore....volley ball sessions.... my dog.... blading..... tennis... blah blah blah...

Not going to tok abt work tis time round....

lets tok abt philippines.... to me its quite a safe place... much safer than JB. The people here are quite friendly and most of them can speak english... i was taking a jeep during my 1st trip to philippines and i tok to the driver. Guess wat... he is married and has 2 wives in philippines and 2 in hongkong.... way to go manzzz....
hahahahaha cant imagine how he manage with 4 ladies....all the naggings...

heres a pic of the jeep.





Ok i have been here for 3 times and i stayed in 4 different hotels. The 1st is Microtel in batangas which sucks... there is only bed and TV. If u wan hot or cold water u need to get it from the lobby. Worse, there is not much food varieties around.... only a chinese and jap restaurant with expensive prices on the menu.

2nd is a Parque Espania residential hotel in alabang... there is a living room, 1 bedroom, kitchen and toilet. This is a good place as its in the central... 2 or 3 malls in the vicinity.... the hotel provides 24hours free shuttle to nearby areas.... only setback is the internet access... u need to pay for the broadband in the room but its free wifi in the lobby...


3rd is Bellevue hotel in alabang.. its actually walking distance from Parque Espania... This is atleast 4 stars hotel i think... the price is much higher dan Parque.... and the broadband in room is free..... They haf more beautiful receptions... hahahaha

4th is Pan pacific hotel.... its in manila and jus beside the redlight district.... this is cheaper dan bellevue but broadband is chargable.... There is TV in the bathroom... casino within the hotel itself...and it charges 500miles to my krisflyer for 1 nite stay.... great!!!!

Anyway stupid krisflyer... got more dan 50k points but not considered as gold member.... kaoz.. still a silver elite....

k... thats abt all....

Dinner this Sat (24/8/07) Okie?

Dear All,

Pls come for a dinner at Plaza Sing at Ajisen Restaurant at 730PM this friday(24/8/07).

I wont be going unfortunately, but Lyn will be around to pass you guys a souvenir we’ve gotten from HK…after braving through the wind and rain.

A fairly creative present I must say...cannot imagine our brain could actually think of that. (That why u know when people say.. “Genius always think differently”) So hope to see ya guys there to redeem your present!

Will followup with a SMS reminder this Thursday. See ya guys!

From: Pinky and the Brain…..Cel & Lyn. Erm…..Ok. Lyn and Cel. KekEke.

My latest addiction!

Was addicted to a taiwan-drama nowadays, My lucky star (Fang Yang de Xing Xing)..and a bracelet in the show, designed by the female lead (Xia Zhi Xing, by Hana a korean actress), later on passed onto the male lead (Zhong Tian qi, by Jimmy Lin). And he got this bracelet made as a gift to her and named it as a combination of their names, known as 仲夏夜之星 (A Midsummer Night's Star) . The special feature of this bracelet is the blue sapphire (An ear stud belonging to Tian qi) that’s locked to the bracelet.

Pretty?

And hey, check it out! Its available in the market! A Mont Blanc design! Without the blue gem though and pure silver. I can have my Midsummer Night's star...to have a Midsummer night dream! Super touching story behind "A Midsummer night star" can, but in reality, it is simply known as the "Star bracelet."

*Edited to add:
Time to share quotes? Here's mine! Both from the Midsummer Night's Dream:

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.
&
The course of true love never did run smooth.

Rush hour 3

So i believe most of u all have watch rush hour 3 by now.

I was walking in the mall and happen to walk pass the cinema..... and i saw there Rush hour 3. Thinking that most of u pple haf watched it... i guess i can juz watch here alone. now u can imagine how boring i m during the weekends to watch movie alone.

The movie tiks cost 130pesos... there is no fix price... it depends on the popularity of the show... well 130 pesos is abt 4.50sgd... Cheap!!!! The cinema style here is quite different from singapore. They haf 2 types, free seating and sure seating. It depends on cinema i guess. but the rush hour 3 i went for is free seating....
So that means u can seat any where in the cinema.... My agents told mi u can stay in the cinema whole day.... watching the same movie over n over again.... jus for dat 1 ticket... cool?

On the show, overall not bad... had a good laugh from chris tucker... dat guy is a joker manz...

Thats about all.....

antares..

Remember when things are bad... they can always get worse...

Wow, i can't believe how time flies.

Tmr i'll be getting my ACCA results. Amy too! Best of Luck for both of US okie!!!! ^_*

Wow Lewis, u majiam kena seconded to Philipines hor.. hee.. Pls dun forget my dried mangoes yah.

I seriously think i have no "fate" to go Bangkok. Till now, i've yet to visit that so-called "shopping paradise". Due to budget constraints for my japan trip and that Ms Cel who's my kaki to Japan, not gg as well, i'm unable to join u guys! sigh. Anyone interested to go again nxt yr, pls lemme know! =P Haha!

Quote to share: Put words into action, and it shall never be just Words.

Still here in Philippines

Here we go again.... same of shit again....

Back in philippines since monday, 130807. Probably i got to buy more of the dried mangoes back this time round. But i dunno when i can go back to singapore. Hopefully, i can go back by the end of aug so i can take leave and go for a short trip with my gf. Haven't visited any countries with her this year. But sometimes there jus isn't much choice when it comes to work. Well, will have to go for 2 trips next year worst senario.

Ok i am still stuck here with the machine. I got no idea when i can go back. Got some solutions on the machine alreadi yet to be tested and confirm. So after that will be left with 3rd party issues. Not sure how long its going to take for the 3rd party. My senior is here with me cos i cant split myself to 2 customers. But he says he is going back on next week. Wat a great news that is..... so i will b alone clearing all the shits again... wats new?

Anyway my name is changed to "fernandez lewis maria" so maria is best known at clearing dirty jobs. Thanks to D for the name. Can have a better name bo? Maria is for lady leh..... Looks like D is going all out against me now.... probably becos of the sentence i said in BINTAN....hahahahaha.

So here comes all the complain from me... Worked until 2am last nite on the machine. stupid 3rd party. They send somebody here who doesnt realli know how to solve the problem but jus to try and solve the problem. Ended up with more problems and the whole thing jus didn't worked out. The schedule arrangement sucks too... he was suppose to stay atleast until saturday or solve 1 machine. But he insisted on going back today. We were discussing it for 2hr30mins jus for his schedule.... how stupid can this go on manzzz... well i kinda feeling tired now.... will be going for a long n nice sleep tonite i hope.

And another thing.... i dunno if the hotel room is haunted... 1st nite i stayed, the aircon was off in the middle of the nite... but i guess the aircon was timer based.... Than yesterday at ard 4am, i woke up to charge my other hp and visited the rest room.... guess wat... the TV was ON... i switched it OFF at 3am before i went to bed.... and there was nobody in the living room. My senior is sleeping ..... seriously who would wake up at 4am to watch TV. I think the remote control is a little faulty..... mayb the power ON button get connected by itself sometimes. Cos my senior says the TV shut off by itself also.... well tats abt it....

Once again i have to stress, the food here is cheap n nice. 2pcs fried chicken plus rice plus 12oz of coke is 117 pesos... that is 4 SGD. Even cheaper at the canteen, jus 2.50SGD for a meal with dessert.

MABUHAY!!!!!

BBQ and Chalet at Sentosa

It was cool! i made it back jus in time for the chalet and bbq. I tot it was not possible alreadi. But i suggested to my boss that i shld come back to renew the visa and he agreed as there was nothing much i could do at customer's place last week.

And cross fingers. Like what u experience in HK, elyn n celeste, there is typhoon in philippines i was not sure if the flights will be affected by the typhoon. There was rain for continuous few days and flood everywhere in the area where i am, batangas. Heard there were 3 pax killed in the typhoon.

Lets tok abt the chalet. Thanks bro for organising the chalet. The foods were great thought the chicken wings are abit too charred. The chilli cooked by ur uncle is damn nice.... and it goes well wif the beehoon. Though, we din get a chance to taste on the portugal wine but no worries i will bring them when we haf another event.

Though the room is small but i think we all enjoyed the company. But i still strongly suggest we shld not perform this type of stunt again nxt time. We are getting old liao .... admit it. Nevertheless, we manage to playing PS2 winning 11 for half the night but i guess we enjoy most on WWE. With a main target at the gay we playing the match for 82mins.... hahahaha tats was good. Finally, we all gave up at 7am.

For the photos, pls wait 2yrs for seanie to upload.

Typhoon in HK

Hi All,

Lyn and myself are currently in HK as we are blogging this... we just finished our KTV session at Red-box (somewhere near our hotel). Singing KTV as a no-choice for us because all shopping complexes and venues are CLOSED, starting from 230pm onwards just now. (wondering why?!) Because we are just too lucky!There was a typoon signal number 8 announced (and darn we are on our way up to the peak), and all shops are closed and people rushes off to take the subway back to their home. The crowd was too much for the subway to bear and it had to shut down temperorily.

Whats the fuses about?
Its just very rainy, foggy and the gale slightly stronger den what we usually experienced in singapore.
And that's it!

Song: u are in taichung, waiting for 'tai feng' right? Nothing scary one lar, i assure u.

Good luck to you in philipines..munch some mangoes for us!

Business trip in Philippines

So here i am in philipines for 11days alreadi. I cant believe sometimes how fast time passes. I have missed 1 volleyball match and will be missing another 1 this sunday (that is tmrw) and another during the national day.
So what can be worse? hahahahaha. I jus rec an email from my AM that they are shipping out the 2nd machine on monday. The machine while doing internal buyoff in singapore crashes the wafer. And with jus a little amendments and so little testing, they are sending it out on next monday. Swee manz.... so they are leaving all the shits for mi to clear.... thats a good news.... atleast i noe i wont b out of job ya......

For the last 11days, i have been clearing issues raised by customer and i dunno how long its going to drag on. Hopefully by tuesday i can b done with the 1st customer. So after this i will be going to the 2nd customer. Who noes how long its going to drag again. Looks like i might haf to stay here for more dan 1 mth?

Enuff on jobs. Philippines seems quite safe overall. Securities carry real guns with bullets. Weather here is more or less the same as s'pore being in the summer season now. The foods are not bad relatively much cheaper dan singapore. Macchicken meal is about 120pesos.. tat is abt S$4. I din take any photos on food though cos i have been dinning at customer's canteen. MANGO .... i mean real mango and not the fashion brand mango.. they taste good.

I will try to upload some photos i have later this evening. I need to go to work now. Byez pple. Enjoy the daz ahead. Till we meet again.

This meal is from a fastfood restaurant call CHOW KING. The total cost plus a regular coke is 122 pesos.... that is abt S$4.20
