Boxing Day and Post Christmas

Here's an updated after Christmas. Christmas was always plain sailing for me. Stayed at home to have a good rest. Was out shopping on the eve of Christmas eve. Had some shopping therapy, bought a pair of sandals and shoe, a shirt. :)

After a well rested three day break, was back at work on Boxing Day. Nothing much at work, was kinda quiet in the admin offices as most of my colleagues were on long leave. As usual had some irritating students come bugging me and asking me some stupid questions. ( Sorry can't go into detail on this, if you would like to know more, please ask me personally :-D)
Although I do dread some of the students, but I still like my job. I must say its challenging at times but you'll get to learn and accumulate lots of experience and knowledge.These experiences and knowledge can never be found in textbooks.

Went to watch "The Day the Earth stood still". The stars of the show were Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. It was a good show as from the show we need to show concern to our Earth and protect it and do not take things for granted. Most importantly I learnt that do not always wait till the most critical moment than we start to repent by than it would be too late.
Ok that's all the updates. Here are some pics from my mobile. Enjoy ! Cheers !

Merry Christmas

To all my friends, have a joyous Christmas and Happy New Year.
I have attached a Christmas song - O Holy Night by Celine Dion.
Enjoy ! Cheers !

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends. He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger, Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2008

Time for a blog update :-)

Went for the SSCM marathon - 10KM yesterday, thank goodness it was not raining. Its my 2nd time participating and I completed it in 1hr 29 mins. Started off jogging for the 1st 5kms than walk in between and than jog for the last 4kms. All in all it was a good marathon.

Met up with Thomas and Yong Bing for a drink at Spin, had my favourite Sunkiss Twist and Green Tea log cake..yummy :)

Was walking along towards Hereen, and saw the MP and SAF band marching on the road towards the Istana. There was a change of guard at the Istana.

Ok less talk more action. Below are some snap shots.

MP and the SAF Band - the SAF Band was playing some x'mas tunes, makes one feel the x'mas mood :)
