We continued our on-line ordering with Indian food from Brinda’s:
Grace worked night, so she skipped swimming, but here are the rest of us:
Samuel enjoyed the Engineering toy set, so we took out the larger box, and he was absolutely delighted with the increase in building materials!
Here’s a little miscellaneous post: our neighbour, bought a grey Honda Odyssey recently, and his plate is very similar to ours!
YowCH was invited to a corporate event at Ce La Vi (rooftop) of Marina Bay Sands on Thursday evening.
The view was very nice, after rains in the afternoon, with cloud covered buildings.
The night view was great, too.
Here’s the Southern view for Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage.
Another nice and colourful mix, Campari at the bottom, Blue Curacao in the middle and Rum at the top. Goes well with bitter-sour grapefruit.
On 8 Feb 2017, YowCH booked a dinner for the KTP Infra and Geo teams to celebrate CNY at Tunglok Signature, Vivocity. Te food was great, and the fellowship even greater.
Our Odyssey have just gone past the 10,000km mark.
On 2 Feb, YowCH was invited by his business friend to give a short speech to the NUS School of Design and Environment night class for Masters degree class about the Civil Engineering market.
At home, Joseph built his foam-card AT-AT, a gift from the Ngs for his birthday.
YowCH moved into the KTP new office space in the first week of January, and by 10 Jan, he was fully settled in.
Here’s a last look at his TYL office.
And we had some fun with liquors at home. This is a layered drink with strong taste, using Campari, Jaegermeister and Tequila.
And here’s eating longans with vodka.
We had a great dinner at Brotzeit, Vivocity on 1 Jan 2017.
Grace is drinking a warm red wine from a sugar crusted cup.
There was a sale at G-Factory, and YowCH bought a discounted G-Shock MTG-S1000BD-1A, the 2nd highest range of G-Shock (top range is the MRG). This watch is metal, with a metal-composite resin bracelet, solar rechargeable, scratch-proof sapphire glass and certainly looks very professional and great. Regular price is $1,450, the discounted price is $999.00. Had this discount come a few months earlier, the Aviation GA1000FC-1A would not be bought. The lower photo shows the MTG compared to the Mudmaster.
A new year present for YowCH, from himself.
YowCH got hooked on the G-Shock Mudmaster that his ex-colleagues gave him, and decided to get a nice dress G-Shock for daily use. He was initially looking at a black metal G-Shock, but most metal models are way too large and heavy, and very costly (more than $350.00, up to $3000.00). Moreover, the current G-Steel models have a very sharp-scratchy connection to the band/bracelet, easy to scratch just about anything.
Finally, he settled for this black Aviation GA1000FC-1A Aviation model, with compass, thermometer and fine resin composite band (resin and steel), making the watch much lighter yet strong and scratch-proof. Listed as $349.00 at City Chain, he paid $298.40 for the watch after discounts.
Here is a photo comparing the Aviation against the larger Mudmaster GG1000-1A3, and the Seiko 5 which he wore since August 2014.
The Mudmaster was listed as $469.00 at City Chain, and should be $401.00 after discounts.
He will be wearing the Aviation daily for work and home, and the Mudmaster for weekends (sports) and holidays.
From 1 Nov 2016, YowCH is a Director (Civil) in KTP Consultants Pte Ltd, 1 floor below T.Y.Lin in E-Centre @ redhill.
He shares a temporary room with Fen Leong while the new office space is being renovated, expected to complete by mid-Nov.
28 Oct 2016, 18 years and 5 months from the day YowCH joined TYLin, was his last day. Kenneth Ivan (leaving on 31 Oct) bought some snacks and YowCH bought some drinks (including the Brewerks Beer) to thank the colleagues.
YowCH also received a very personal card from his closer colleagues and a G-Shock Mudmaster GG1000 watch as a parting gift.
The watch is very nice, but huge! Good for outdoors with compass, thermometer and mud/water resistance.
Esther got full marks for her fitness tests (NAPFA test) and the school gave her a T-shirt for the perfect score.
YowCH will end at TYLin this Friday and joins KTP from Tuesday. Here are two new ‘studio office’ photos.
As before, the set-up for the studio was our bedroom. Here are the outtakes (uncropped photos).
Compare with the one taken on 2009 here.
