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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! 🙂
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
