Interesting numbers to mark a milestone





The above numbers and picture may seems nothing special, but these will serves as yet again moments and memories captured for my rememberance ...

22,222km ... the total distance my trustworthy Honda City has driven me. This is also more or less the distance my 1 yrs old ++ new job has required me to travel. Maybe not a large number, but took this number down with my phone camera as I dunno how much longer will it take me to see all the same digits again.

319km/h ... the speed that the Maglev(Magnetic levetation... I think so) train took me when I was in Shanghai for my 4 days short training stint over the last weekend. In fact, the max speed was about 431km/h ... but I was too stunted to take photo until the speed begun to drop! haha! 30km travel to the airport too only 8 mins! Very fast compared to the crawling Shanghai traffic.

A garden shot? View from my hotel room in Shanghai, Okura Garden hotel ... just this month, suddenly in my 30 years(31 coming very soon! haha) life on earth ... for the first time I encountered 2 power of the nature ... the earthquake and the typhoon! Fortunately, God has not forsaken me ... he cushioned both for me ... the earthquake felt is just minor tremors felt at my mum's place 2 week ago when Indonesia was hit by 8.4 ricther scale rocking ...

And Typhoon? Well, it was suppose to be the worst and most powerful typhoon Shanghai will encounter in 10yrs .... but Typhoon Wipah spared me ... it move in to shanghai gently, abruptly weakened! Oh well, I did braved some really heavy rain and strong gust of wind! Other than that, the locals should be happier with 1 day off school and half day off for more of the office!

Thank you God! Phew ...

Bird Park re-visited




The Jurong Bird Park! Wow, the last time I visited this place was on the Christmas Eve of 2004 ... together with my friends in the Navy!
Last Sunday, went to the birdpark with my family ... this time round courtesy of my younger brother's company, Givaudan! It's their family day!
Nothing seems to have changed since I last visited years back, nevertheless, we had a great time! But I guess the most exciting part was how we squeeze into my tiny car to make our way home ... Just imagine me, ace, my father, my mum, my brother + his wife ... and of course Edan ... Damn, when can strike TOTO lah! I need to upgrade liao!!! (my car I mean) hahahha!
