Huiyu's Birthday & The Card Reader

-

I managed to get this photo out of the digital camera that I just bought on Friday, after an hour of unsuccessful tries with the Olympus Card reader, given free by the Harvey Norman Jurong Point salesman. The card reader seems not able to read. I do believe it is not the USB Port problem, as I am able to detect my bluetooth device with that. Will be going back to the salesman later, to see if I can change the card reader. Fortunately, I got the camera early, otherwise it will be a big problem if the camera had problems in Genting.


Yesterday, met up with Huiyu for her early birthday celebration. Even though it was a small gathering, Jason, me & my brother, together with the birthday gal as the rest of the people invited were all busy with their work or other commitments. Huiyu said she missed out calling Richard. I guess she will make up to him one of these days.

Had the dinner at 国俯steamboat resturant. The resturant is located at Far East Square. I liked the ambience & the good service provided by the boss, who hails from Shenyang. The food is pretty delicious. Heard from Huiyu that the boss could remember all the customers by name after their first visit, as I was pretty surprised when she could recognise Huiyu. I was stunned by the fact that the resturant had less than 10 customers on a Saturday evening, which is unusual. The cost of the food was very affordable, considering the amount of food that we ordered. Really got to thank Huiyu for the treat. We also feel bad about the gift that we gave her, as we didn't notice that she does not wear earrings. Luckily, we provided her with the receipt to exchange for something that she wants.

After the dinner which took us 2.5 hrs, we went to Coffee Bean @ Boat Quay for coffee. She didn't want us to pay for the drinks and chatted till about 12mn before going our seperate ways

Since I liked the ambience of the resturant, I guess I may get Krys to be there for her birthday next month. Anyway, it may also be my increment & promotion month, which I certainly hope so. I don't think I will be able to leave now after my boss showed me some classified info on Friday. Looks like Paul is staying on for another year. I hope I can tahan.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
