Where’s my Manhattan Card!!!

Called the SCB credit card application hotline again today.  The automated system said my Manhattan Card was approved on 11th Jul and if I don’t get it by 14th Jul, to call them again.  Liars lor!  I called the automated system on Friday and my card wasn’t approved yet.  Hmph!  What’s this man!  Backdating the […]

Different Looks

Really must applaud Lorelei on her wonderful WordPress themes.  These are the 3 that I downloaded… still can’t settle on which one looks best.  Heh… so I might be switching them around for a while. What’s your opinion?        Japanese Fleur – This was the first to catch my eye.       […]

Liquidity Premium

Some years ago, when an ex-colleague from Anyhow Insure Anything got married, our manager gave her $60 for the wedding dinner, which was held at Raffles Hotel.  At that time, the table price for Raffles Hotel was about $900+… and most of us gave her $100 to ensure that she didn’t lose money. What’s worse […]

Henderson Waves

After reading about the Southern Ridges in Singapore and seeing the nice pics of Henderson Waves in the papers, Iceman and I decided that we would visit it this weekend.  We drove and parked at Telok Blangah Hill… somewhere along the middle (I think) of the 9km Southern Ridges.  Took a short walk to scout […]

Ivory Towers

I was working on the renewal of my client’s Political Violence Insurance policy recently and noted that since the last renewal a year ago, quite a number of insurers from western countries have set up offices in Asia (namely Hong Kong and Singapore).  In theory, this is good news for us brokers because it means […]

Pi Pa Mi

Discovered a new drink last night!  You know that thick syrupy drink that soothes the throat?  I found out last night that there’s a canned drink version of it!   I love it! 🙂

Work & Passion

Went to JB for a farewell dinner for Iceman’s sister as she’s going to KL for her pre-uni studies this week.  We went to this Italian restaurant owned by a German chef.  The chef looked like he was in his late 50s but he was still doing the cooking at the stove the whole day.  […]

To Blog or Not to Blog

Very few things are secret nowadays.  Found out from a friend today that she chanced upon my blog while searching for some holiday stuff in HK.  Not that I mind her knowing ‘cos I think I did tell her about my blog about 2 years ago… but it’s a good reminder that I need to […]

Teeth Paranoia @ Work

ARGH!  I’m going nuts!  This is really bugging me!  Was wondering why my teeth hurt soooo much when I wore my new retainers last Thurs, Fri & Sat.  (I’ve completed the entire series of aligners for the teeth so was supposed to switch to wearing retainers at night to maintain the straightness).  The teeth stopped […]

Finally caught Sex & the City over the weekend.  I’ve never seen the TV series before but I definitely like the movie a lot.  Does anyone have the VCD/DVD of the series to lend? In the movie, Carrie reads a book about great love letters and she reads a letter from Beethoven to his "immortal […]
