Comfortable, Monotonous, Peaceful: July-Month

Friday of July 27, 2018

July is just like a hollow month, we did the normal routine and chores. Most of the days are like this month. It is fun in a way that it is comfortable but at time boring and monotonous. Things that I was busy for this month are the following:

  1. Started preparing for Js13k entry
  2. Prepared our migration project at work
  3. Investigate the usual incident and common issues
  4. We got a notice that next year Joyce will join the afternoon class Responsible - 4
  5. I joined Theta V facebook group. I am also planning to buy one in the future since my first theta is from the developer center.
  6. I signed a re-contract from Singtel and got Samsung S9+ and Samsung 360
  7. After a couple of days of holding back, I was able to finally sell the phone and the 360 camera
  8. I also planned the August JB trip and booked the hotel and itinerary
  9. I bought Google Home and Broadlink IR burst
  10. Works are medium volume and are still manageable
  11. I met Janine and borrow some clothes for Racial Harmony
  12. Joyce attended the Racial Harmony day

 

Hari Raya - Johor Bharu Weekend

Friday of June 15, 2018

My wife wanted her hair to be fixed so we dropped by this weekend to Johor Bharu during Hari Raya. To cut it short Singapore immigration exit was fast and Malaysia Immigration was like 2 hours waiting for foreigners. Checked in to Geobay Hotel, for me a 2-star hotel (although they claim themselves to be 3 stars). We had a 1 queen and 1 super single bedroom with cost around S$100 for 2 days no breakfast.

The hotel decent and the place is near AEON Mall Bukit Indah, where my wife plans to get her hair done. It was a quick weekend the kids played in Kidzoona for 4 hours wow! Grabe some food and groceries before going back to Singapore. Every time when we drop by Johor we are astounded by the restaurant and grocery prices. Overall it was a great weekend.

Hong Kong Vacation

Friday of June 08, 2018

This is our first time in Hong Kong with kids. We are a bit skeptic about logistics and itinerary since managing Jace and Joyce would push the challenge. Bringing a light stroller and a Lascal was a life saver. After this trip, we realized its not that bad after all.

Day 1: Departure from Singapore Changi to Hongkong Terminal.

Day 2: Disneyland Day 1.

Day 3: This day we went to Ngong Ping to check Tian Tian Tan Buddha.

Day 4: Disneyland Day 2.

Day 5: Packing and transferring to Dorsett hotel which is in Kowloon area.

Day 6: Victoria's peak, Tram, Bubba Gump and Sky Terrace.

Day 7: Sky 100, International Commerce Centre, Kowloon.

Day 8: Ocean Park, Signal 3.

Day 9: Free and Easy.

Day 10: Packing back to Singapore.
