Review of the cruise
7 days Carnival Conquest to Western CaribbeanPros1. Relaxing2. Fun3. Endless flow of quality food4. Good service5. Exotic ports of call6. Gym and sauna room that face the ocean7. Something for everyone from magic shows to R-rated standup comedy to gameshows to poolside contests.8. Lots of time to do whatever we please - I finally finished my first book this year in two years.9. Great ocean view every min of the day.Cons 1. Can be boring at times especially since we are so used to activities-filled vacation trips.2. Expensive3. Sodas are not free but lemonade, iced tea and apple juice are.4. Small stateroom - it's a little cramp cos there are four of us in one room. But it's amazing how they are able to squeeze four beds in one room.5. Small bed - so not used to sleeping in a single bed anymore.Surprises1. I always thought the dinners on cruises are served buffet-style. I can't praise the ala carte dinner enough.2. We have a fixed table for dinners. Sitting on the 2nd level of the Monet restaurant, our favorite activity every night was to check out the auntie sitting right below us. We would "bio" what she wore and guessed what she ate everyday. Voyeurs!3. There's a different towel animal placed on one of our beds every night. There was one night the stateroom staff left a tortoise on Tim's bed. I like to call Tim "gong gong". The moment I saw the tortoise on Tim's bed, I blurted, "龟公!"
Another Princess in Houston soon
Ah mei's trip has been postponed! Heng it's only for a week. She will be here next Thurs instead. So what's the problem? The problem is I'll be away for training for three days from Mon to Wed. So I will not have the time to clear the backlog in time to leave early on Fri to bring her shopping. :(The original plan was to leave office at around 2pm on Friday. Now I think she will have to settle for lazing around the pool or going to the gym before I come back in the evening. Oh well.....
Superstar hubby
Throughout our climb of the Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, being the few Asians around, our guide kept calling Tim, "Jackie Chan". He would shout, "Jackie Chan, come stand here and take a photo!"At the end of our climb, the guide asked Tim if he would like to purchase the DVD which featured us climbing the Falls. The conversation went like this:Guide: Hey Jackie Chan, don't you want to buy the DVD?Tim: No thanks! I got my own movies!The guide never replied.We were glad we came back alive.
Back from Caribbean!

My Fair Lady
I really don't get her. She blows hot and cold almost in the same beat. She will be hot one moment, and cold the next and almost immediately, she will be hot again.Why is she treating me this way? She used to be all nice and trustworthy, never threw any tantrums like this before. What has changed? I can't take it anymore!Finally, I decided enough is enough. I can't let this go on forever. Something needs to be done. I need to understand what's wrong. So I went to a specialist.....In the end, it all boils down to money. As she aged, she became a money vampire, trying hard to suck me dry. Indeed, she has been very successful. Nobody can do it as well as she did. 4 times in merely a few months. I have to give it to her!...............Kowtow to my beetle! She has done it again! This time round, the A/C compressor is worn out. Changing the compressor will cost at least US$1,000 excluding labor! WTH!I decided that for now I would rather suffer the infamous Texas heat than to give in to her every whim and fancy. Hope I've made the right decision as the heat can be really unbearable. I hope you wouldn't read in the newspaper one day that a Singaporean lady baked alive in her new beetle while driving from office to home in Houston.p/s: The body paint work that the collision service center quoted me was exorbitant - US$1,650! I think I will just go ahead to claim insurance even though it implies my premium will increase the next time. But who cares!I can't help but exclaim, "钱不够用!"
It's confirmed...
Ah mei is coming to Houston in exactly two weeks' time! I'm excited!I'm now busy thinking of what barang barang I should ask her to bring back to Spore for me. *evil smile*
Bleeding pocket again
I hit the pillar while reversing my car today! Now it has some scratches on the passenger door and a huge dent at the edge. I remembered telling myself to be careful when backing out of the lot when I first parked there more than a week ago. Then after the vacation, I totally forgot about it. Urgh!Heard from Zing that it will cost at least US$400 to repair the damage. Seems that bad things really come in threes. Hope no more bad luck with the car after this.
We are back!
After 10 days of grizzly bears, black bears, moose, elks, bisons, goats, chipmunks, squirrels, bald eagles, robins, butterflies, geysers, mud pots, hot springs, thermophiles, mountains, snow, movies, and soccer, we are finally back in boring Houston. Will update more when I have the time.Looking forward to our cruise this coming Sun. Heh.
Championes!
Everything I need to say is captured in this photo. Congrats Fergie, and let's Follow, Follow, Follow.... Coz United are going to Moscow!!
Bleeding pocket
I noticed I couldn't reverse my car without pressing the gas pedal which was unusual. Then I heard a flapping sound as I drove out of the garage....just before I reached the gate, I decided to stop the car to check. The tire on the front driver side was totally flat!Cost of repair: $0Yep, it's free cos the tire is apparently still under warranty and NTB managed to patch it. I changed the front tires slightly more than a year ago. So why am I complaining? Cos I was told that my two back tires had not been changed since the car's birth in 1999. That cost me a whopping $340! Add another $40 to the oil change which I had not done in a long time.Total cost: $380!I've spent more than $1k on my car just this year - from changing catalytic converter, brake light, coolant palange, and now the tires.. I am so damn poor now! Anyone cares to give me a donation?Oh, one good thing was I discovered it today (Sun afternoon). If I only discovered it tomorrow morning, I wonder how I will be able to go to work.
Championes, Championes!
Ole, Ole, Ole......I woke up at 8am this morning to watch the last Premiere League match of the season with Tim at Richmond Arms, an English pub. Freak... I must be crazy! Waking up so early on a Sunday morning with just 5 hours of sleep. That's what they call love... Love for my hubby... not Man U!Now, what time is the Champions League match gonna be? Yawn....I'm so sleepy now and it's only 12 noon.
Yellowstone or Moscow
UpdatedWe are supposed to leave for Yellowstone next Friday. But now we are in a kind of dilemma. Tim's fren balloted successfully for a pair of tix to the Champions League final in Moscow. Liverpool, the team, his fren supports, did not make it to the final. But Man U did! Yippee! He offered to sell Tim the tix a few days ago at face value. Tim declined the offer...One of the reasons was the difficulty in gettin the visa processed on time.But with the recent announcement that tourist visa might be waived for tix holder who stays in the country for only 72 hours, Tim is suddenly all excited about going. He called his fren up but the tix have since been put on sale on an online auction.Here's the list of things that will make the trip possible:1. SIA airtix to Moscow is only US$750. Other airline tix cost at least US$2k. It is relatively cheaper because SIA just started a direct flight from Houston to Singapore with a stopover in Moscow in March.2. We got our leave booked all along - for Yellowstone that is.3. We have a fren who is willing to sell us the tix at face valueThings that work against us:1. The tix might be sold afterall. Last heard, a pair of tix can go as high as 2,000 pounds.2. There is no accommodation available in Moscow. Most of the establishments have been booked solid.3. We will be "flying" pegster and Ms Mok "aeroplane" if we choose to go to Moscow now.4. Visa might not be waived for all nationalities.5. According to 2007 Mercer report, Moscow is the most expensive city in the world. It will cost us a bomb to stay there even for a couple of days. What's more, we are thinking of just paying for the tourist visa and staying here for all 10 days of our leave. hee.Update: We are going Yellowstone! Nevertheless, we will still look for a place to watch tha match, although that might be hard considering we will be in a National Park and none of our accomodation have internet access or TV.
Weekend
UPDATEDIt's the weekend again! This is the fourth weekend that I'm staying at home...I realized I am pretty good at entertaining myself and in fact beginning to enjoy the personal time I have. Here's my to-do list for the weekend.1. Gym - to have at least half an hour of workout on both days. (It's already Tuesday, I still haven't hit the gym yet)2. Yellowstone - I am supposed to take over the planning of the Yellowstone activities cos Tim has been too busy to do anything else except to work a lot, study a bit, eat a little, sleep a little and read soccer news frequently. He's beginning to lose weight. The belly is shrinking! Anyway, I need to start making reservations for the various activities we have in mind. (I finally started the guide book Tim bought many months ago and fell asleep. Why does the book only give facts and history of the places to visit but never really describe those places in detail to make me look forward to seeing them in real life? The Yellowstone book is nothing like Maui Revealed which really kept me interested the whole time. Hmm... is it really the book or is it just me being lazy and coming up with excuses not to plan?)3. Cruise - Since I am will be at it, I may as well plan the activities for our cruise trip, right? Three days onshore and we still have freaking no idea what we want to do. By the time we come back from Yellowstone, we will be left with only 5 days to plan. (Yeah, reservations have been made! Well, I did not plan it by myself. The four of us discussed about it. If not for Zing, we probably will not get down to doing it.)4. WBLs - These are online courses that we have to take to fulfil our CPE credits for the year. I have consistently significantly exceeded the CPE credit requirement every year. Nonetheless, there are two courses which I specifically indicated to take as one of my Goals for this fiscal year that I have yet to start. I better do it before the end of this fiscal year as I've indicated in my self review that I will complete them before the end of the fiscal year. Then again, the round table starts next week. Don't think it will matter since even if I do it now it will not be captured in the report in time. (I started on one of the WBLs on Sunday. There are five chapters. After spending 2 hours, I am still at chapter 2.)5. Prison Break - I think I stopped at disc 3 or 4. It's been a while since I rent the dvd. I've become so lazy that walking to Blockbuster (a mere 3-min walk) is a chore. (It's still a chore to take the 3-min walk so rather than watched Prison Break, I looked for the Korean drama PW passed to us a year ago in my closet instead and finished watching it in 3 days. ha.)6. Vacuum - I need to vacuum the floor badly. The things are strewn all over - mostly by me but I'm sure Tim contributed a little. Time to do some cleaning again. (It's still as messy as ever. Enuf said.)7. Recipes - It's been a while since I try a new recipe. This weekend is probably the best time to do it. as after which, we will be traveling. I must put the Donna Hay books to good use. (I did try a new recipe - Deep Fried Pandan Chicken. But the recipe came from a food blog. The presentation was excellent but the taste was only so so... somehow the smell of the pandan did not infuse onto the chicken and it did not help that I forgot to put sugar and also accidentally poured too much fish sauce. Some say the end-product tastes like fish but is in fact chicken while others say it is fish that look likes chicken. I say it should be bacon-chicken instead cos I used the oil from exactly 12 pieces of bacon to deep fry the chicken. Can you imagine the amount of fat a piece of bacon has?!! No, the recipe did not call for bacon oil. It just happened that I was frying some and thought it will be a waste not to use oil esp since even the cost of cooking oil has increased.)8. Shopping - Nay, I had enuff of shopping last week (all two hours of it). I need to help my cousin-in-law buy some Avent baby products. It's available at Baby r us. I've no idea where is the nearest store. Will need to check it out online. (I still have one more weekend to do it)9. Study - It's been a while since I read the regulations (IRC Section 482 is the section guidelines for Transfer Pricing). Time to refresh my knowledge again. Don't wish to embarass myself with the lack of technical knowledge in front of the many new hires coming in this summer. (I tried reading a couple of pages. At least there is some effort, no?)10. TO DO THE ABOVE! (Procrastination is my middle name)Hopefully I will check off most of the items by the end of Sunday.
I realized I met two types of "gui" today.1. 贵人= lucky star2. 鬼= nemesis from hell. (say it in hokkien and it becomes "to tio gui")In retrospect, I should have gone to Canada two days earlier. Then I would not have "to tio gui"
Nemesis
I met my "gui ren" today. But I also met my very first work nemesis. A supposed wonderful day has turned into a I'm-so-damn-pissed-day. He has been the source of alot of work-related problems. I wish I can throttle him. *visualizing him pleading for mercy* sweet.
Annual Self Review
It's the time of the year again. How do I write an appraisal of myself that will convince the management that I had been such a great employee in the past year and how valuable my contributions are to the firm? How do I sell myself convincingly? I hate writing self review!
Eye cream
I just spent a whopping US$88 (inclusive of shipping) on eyederma. According to the reviews, it is supposed to work wonders. Hopefully, it works for me too. I dun wear make-up so I don't spend on cosmetics. But I'm a total sucker for skin care products esp anything that will help make my dark eye rings go away. Those dark eye rings have definitely lighten a fair bit since I came here. But it is still not good enuff. Maybe after using eyederma, I will have bright, puffy-less, wrinkle-free eyes. Will update u all if it really works.P/S: I think I must be real bored - three entries written at different times of the day.
Wifey chores
I'm beginning to feel more and more like a wife, a housewife to be exact. I just spent an hour of my Sun ironing clothes - 40 mins on Tim's clothes; 20 mins on mine. Good thing I ironed 10 pieces of his shirts which mean I don't have to iron any next Sun.And nowadays, after I cooked, I have to wash the dishes as well. Not that I cook that often these days since Tim doesn't even come home for dinner now. Nevertheless, all Tim has to do after each meal is just bring the dishes to the basin which he may sometimes forget as he engrosses himself in his online soccer news.Oh not to mention I'm now the official laundry lady too. I washed 3 loads of clothes/towels/bedsheets today, changed the bedsheets, and folded all the clothes too. I also washed the w.c., basin, and bathtub yesterday. I wanted to vacuum the floor too but got lazy...Life is becoming mundane. Hopefully, it is all Martha Stewart in the making and not that of a maid.
Boring Sat
I've been staying at home for the past two weekends cos Tim had been working. I entertained myself with loads of dramas, watching Prison Break, Nip/Tuck, and Just in Singapore (on Tudou). So yesterday, the third Sat, I decided to get my ass out of the house.After deliberating for the longest time ever, I finally made the 32 miles drive to the new Premium outlet mall in Cypress. It took me approximately 40 mins to reach there. Two hours later, I was on my way home. I bought NOTHING! Seems like I am really not into shopping. With so many things on sale, I couldn't find a single piece of clothes or bag that entices me.Wasted my three gallons of gas which now cost US$3.50 per gallon. Every time I go to the gas station, my pocket will bleed. The money sitting in the bank is depreciating in value as we speak with the ever falling exchange rate and high inflation rate. Even the US, where rice is not considered a staple, has been affected by the huge increase in the price of rice. Cosco and Sam's club are now curbing the bags of rice that can be purchased. I wonder how much my next purchase of rice is going to cost.
More birthday news
All is not lost......Tim gave me a bouquet of roses and bought me to Ruth's Chris for steak. Had the best filet ever....the steak is grilled at a temperature of 1800 degree fahrenheit and served on a plate heated at 500 degree fahrenheit to maintain the sizzle. The seared ahi tuna is to die for too....Shows that my hubby is still a little romantic and hasn't fully treated me like a housewife yet.I think he spent around $150 on the dinner although he refused to tell me how much it really cost. Tim had a glass of carbonet sauvignon while I had still water. The waiter came by and asked if we wanted sparkling or still water while I was on the phone. Tim told the waiter he wanted normal water. Somehow, the waiter couldn't get him. After repeated tries, Tim just said he wanted the non-sparkling water. And so that added to the bill too. Well, at least we were given a complimentary molten chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream by the steak house so we didn't have to spend extra on dessert - not that we still got space for dessert though.
Prezzie
How do you know you have reached a another stage of your relationship? When the guy doesn't buy you jewellery, flowers, branded stuff like handbags, wallets, watches, etc for your birthday.......Here's my birthday prezzie from my hubby:2 recipe books from Donna Hay. I suspect he might start buying kitchen appliances as prezzies soon....
Free time
The last time I went to a gym was almost a year ago before my wedding. I finally hit the gym again yesterday.Here's what I did:Tread mill - 2 mins warm up, 4 mins run, 2 warm downLeg Press - 20 times with weight of approx 10 kg.Triceps/Biceps - 20 times with weight of approx 6kg.Miscellaneous - fiddled with a few machines here and there.I feel healthier already. Ha.Since I was already out, I decided to go to Barnes and Noble which is located just outside our apartment complex (less than 2 mins walk). Even though it is so near, I had only been there a couple of times.I had no idea what to read as it's been a while since I last picked up a book....After some browsing, I read this:Hmmm......
MIA
My monkey has been MIA-ing. He claims he is working on a new audit engagement, Brock, that has an extremely tight deadline.Many people had asked me about his whereabout. When I told them he has been working, no one believed me. Since it is the first time he has MIA for such a prolonged time, all of them warned me to be careful as he might be having an affair.......They unanimously think he is having a "Brock Back Mountain" time.
Blisswood Ranch
What was supposed to be a relax, laid-back time at a ranch turned out to be one of the most exciting and fun experiences I had. We booked a house at one of the bed and breakfast places over the weekend. We got nothing much on our itinerary except to go horseback riding and to have a bbq on Sat. Horseriding was canceled for Tim and I. We decided to do it in Yellowstone instead. And b'cos of that, we had the experience of a lifetime. We followed Kathy as she went around feeding the farm animals. Emus, ducks, geese, horses, wild pigs, potbelly pigs, donkeys, deers, alpaca, goats, chickens....I am a person that is never fond of animals (strangely except for a particular breed of monkey) yet I enjoyed myself tremendously.The ranch wasn't your typical commercial kind of farm. Kathy and Mike were extremely personable. Both of them used to be corporate executives. Mike used to be an engineer and worked in one of the oil and gas companies. Then one day, both of them decided they wanna retire and they wanna retire at a time when they could still enjoy life and do things they want. So they quit their job, became beach bums, then got themselve an RV and began traveling around the US, moving from one RV park to another. Eventually they decided to settle down and work at this farm. But it's only gonna be temporary. Their next move would be to do some sailing....What a free-spirited couple! p/s: I started this entry a few days ago. Didn't post it cos i wanted to write more. But now i don't seem to have any idea how to continue. So I'm gonna just post whatever i've writtem thus far.
Special dinner
Tim informed me about a week ago that he won't be able to come home for dinner on his birthday cos he was starting on a new audit job on Monday which has an extremely tight deadline. I was disappointed. But still I bought the ingredients just in case there's a teeny weeny chance he could make it.Indeed, at 645pm on Tues, he told me that he was coming home for dinner! I was excited! So I got down to preparing the food. Here's the pic of the meal I made to celebrate his birthday for the first time as hubby and wifey.Strawberry salad with sweet lemony dressing and Citrus Soy Salmon with Soba Noodles.Hmmm.....it's now almost 1030pm. He is still not back yet. He still has to study for his last CPA exam which is coming up in mid May. Poor boy...
Belize
It's official, we just made reservation to go Belize during Independence Day weekend! Some facts about the country from Wikipedia:- A country in Central America- English-speaking as it was a British colony for more than a century- Became independent only in 1981.- Bordered to the south and west by Guatemala, to the north and northwest by Mexico and to the east by the Caribbean Sea.The following excerpt is extracted from Lonely Planet's website on Belize (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/belize/):"Belize is good for your blood pressure.This tiny nation is so laid-back it's almost comatose. Dabbling its toes in the Caribbean Sea, Belize has more in common with its island neighbors than the fiery volatility of Central America - its history is thoroughly coup-free. Soak up the glorious natural wonders and rich cultural history.Unpaved roads, high prices and a lack of infrastructure make it a difficult place to travel, but Belize compensates with brilliant diving, dramatic ruins and pristine jungle - secluded eco-lodges cater for sedentary adventurers. The English-speaking population is mainly Creole and Mestizos (mixed descent)."
Life is short, play hard
We will be staying at a ranch this coming weekend. Blisswood Bed and Breakfast. Expensive farm house stay. Hope it will be fun and relaxing!

Mrs Ho
Ring, ring....our Spore number phone rang...Lady on the line asked, “请问何太太在吗?"Bewildered, I tot to myself, "who is 何太太?"I paused for split second before realizing she was asking for me....
Girls Gone Wild
Too lazy to re-write my experience at PCB, I decided to copy and paste what I wrote in an email to my EY ex-colleagues:"Tim and I made a very last min decision to drive 10 and a half hours to Panama City Beach to check out the Spring Break party scene there. We heard so much about girls gone wild so we tot since it would be the last spring break for us and we had frens joining us from Alabama, why not just do it! We decided to make the trip only at 3 pm on Thurs, started driving at 1130 pm that very night and only reached our hotel by 4pm the next day. We made pit-stops at a Mississippi rest area to sleep for an hour; Mobile, Alabama for breakfast at Waffle House; and also went to the beaches at Pensacola and Destin. (Actually, I slept all the way, waking up only for breakfast and beaches. Yes, Tim drove all the way! A personal record for him. The best piece of luggage i packed was the red couch pillows Wen and Celia gave us. Sleeping in the car was never so comfy!)We didn't see too many people went wild on Fri night. Dunno is it because it was Good Friday (not very holy to do?). Tim and I even attended mass at a church filled with retirees. LS and his friends, Nick, Vince, and Zhou, met up with us only on Sat morn. There weren't much action on the beach itself too when we went there on Sat afternoon after our oyster and buffalo wings lunch. But when we went to the bar/pub/disco that night.... We saw literally what they meant by girls gone wild. Girls and guys dirty dancing with one another... by one another i mean they stand in a row of 4-6 people then the girl rubbed her body against the guy's, then another girl will be standing behind the guy doing her moves, multply that by another set of girls/guys doing the same thing in a row. And boy girl doing that kind of you know what action standing up...and girls letting guys touch their tits and flashing them once in a while. What a sight! I was busy watching "shows" the whole night and taking photos too.... After seeing that. i can't imagine sending my children to the US to study next time, i.e., if i can afford to send them overseas at all......Hmm....now i wonder if NIgel had gone wild while he was here last time? Or did Ch Ch go wild when she was in Aussie for her undergrad then. heheheh....."Tika Bar at Sandpiper is definitely the place to be seen (or see) during spring break! And the ang mo's dance moves are definitely much easier to learn than our own mambo hand actions cos there is only just one style - touch and be touched.After chatting with Tif on msn, I decided to add in more juicy details. Here are some "shows" I caught: - 2 black guys and a white guy did some great break dance moves. the dumb blondes were swooned. another black guy challenged them just like what we see on tv. - mesmerized by the break dance guys, all the girls wanted to dance with them. while one of the black guys was sorta kneeling down, one blonde put her right hand on his head and danced, pretending to have control of him. guy then stood up, together with his fren, forced the girl to dance in between them. the girl was practically sandwiched between the two guys and was touched ALL over. the scene wasn't pretty. i definitely wouldn't wanna be in her situation. then again, i would never ever be caught in such a situation. Never ever.- black guy touched white girl's boobs, white girl then touched her own boobs trying to seduce the guy, then a group of black guys came over. white girl just opened up her blouse and flashed her tits at them. After that, the group of people just started dirty dancing. weird but true....- saw black girl in just a gold bikini top. turned out she wasn't even wearing anything . It was just gold paint. kua kua...- white girl in tube top dancing with white guy. with their bodies rubbing against each other, the tube top threaten to drop to a dangerous level. she tried to pull it up a few times. then the tube top just dropped below her breasts. i saw everything. she wasn't wearing a bra. too bad, i din think of taking photos then. heh.- as the night went by, the place got "darker"...the porportion of blacks in the bar increased. the whole night, i was sitting on a high stool by the bar counter watching everything played out. suddenly, i got pushed, everyone stepped back two steps as two gangs of blacks got into a quarrel. people started to leave. i was stuck.only a guy standing in front of me separated me from the brawl. i asked Tim to leave. he just stood there. good thing the security came in time. phew!- black guy leaned against pillar. black girl in real tiny short shirt stood right in front of him with body bended down, back facing him. They were practically doing it like what they do on discovery channel. Shagadelic!- one of our frens got drunk. two of them carried him out of the bar. i was walking behind them when we passed the black couple. there was a group of blacks dancing there. one black girl, with the incitement of a black guy, reached for our drunk friend's jeans left pocket. I saw what happened and immediately grabbed her wrist. still, she refused to remove her hand from his pocket. i had to yank it out. we left it as that and left. not wise to kick up a big fuss being a minority in a foreign land. there were probably less than 5 asians in the bar excluding us.
Spring Break!!
We made a last min decision to go to Panama City Beach.........now! Turquoise beach and girls gone wild! Woohoo!!
