Singapore Changi Airport

Most would say if you have to transit somewhere this is the best place to be. I would say so too, if I had lots of money to spend! On arrival in Terminal 2, visitors are greeted by duty free shops, designer labelled boutiques, cafes and restaurants. On top of that if you prefer to stay in the airport to going out to town, both Terminals 1 and 2 provide all sorts of facilities to keep everyone comfortable, amongst them Massages (Reflexeology, Neck and shoulder massage, manicures and pedicures), lounge for naps, showers and gym at a cost of $38-40 per facility. Game lovers would be ecstatic with the Xboxes and Playstations. A cinema is also found for free. On top of all that of course one would expect free internet which is available almost everywhere in the terminal. Food is not scarce here, but Halal restaurants are only a handful. How to recognise one? Look for servers with headscarves :)

Terminal 3 has just recently opened and it boasts beautiful architecture which I'm yet to see in a few hours time. It serves outgoing flights to Europe and North America, but does not have the luxuries of relaxation and entertainment as the other 2 terminals.

Not forgetting it has prayer rooms for all faiths which is essential of all.

More later.

A message for the hubs

This is your sweet wife reminding you not to forget to buy her this. But a W7 in the brown and pink like the one that I once had.

Many many tengkiu =)

Happy V-day...

Cravings

I'm hungry. I'm tired. This is the final night of the week and I've had enough so far. Bed crises has been a major problem and Bruneians are so demanding....inda sakit pun mau betahan...suka sangat kan hospital...ngapakan??

I've been managing an average of 5 hours of sleep a day and that is abysmal. As I blog, I'm in search of the hardcopy of the Brunei Labour Law which states the maximal hours one works in a day. As far as I have been told by trusted sources, the legal working hours is no beyond 12 hours a day. I am sure we can work something out once we have hard proof. Hmmph!

The whole week I have been craving all sorts of things. It doesnt help being on nights and the hubs away and not able to fulfill the cravings. Have to settle with BKSS food :s Finally I managed to get J out of bed this morning for a valentine's (haha) Aneka Rasa brekkie. Mee Mamak and Roti Telur nyum nyum! Worse, hubs has been telling all about their rendevous in KL...with the Nandos and what nots. Noooooo......

Again, I want Soto.... waaaa....!

I know the soto doesnt look that appetising but rest assure it tastes all good....baru soto biasa tu...belum soto special.....

1st pay

I only started earning a living in August 2004; after 6 gruelling, hardworking years. Indeed the pay was scrumptious!! What did I spend on my first paycheck?

1. A trip to London from Cornwall to visit friends - took them out for dinner and spent the weekend in Selfridges.

2. Also, belanja my parents =)

3. Paid a whole load of credit card bills!and started saving up...

4. Then, a Lina-Mai-Noneh girly shopping holiday to Madrid!

Bear kissing tree is one of the landmarks of Madrid

Real Palace

Parc Retiro

Plaza Mayor

Real Madrid's Stadium!

So what did u spend on your 1st paycheck?

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Been back to work since I last posted. New faces in the department! Welcome Rizal and Zul! I must say to stay in Internal Medicine one must have that strong, enduring personality that can withstand the tough grillings from the bosses, endure the week of nights and at the same time enjoy being a medic! Not easy, but as long as you're happy!

With the coming there's the going. Leaving us very very soon is Soffi - off to green green New Zealand and in a May Kwang will be off to Singapore.....we'll miss u both!!

Speaking of which, exams in 2 months time. 9 hours of exams aint my cup of tea but that's how it goes. The perks however, I can go to any revision courses where available ie. London! and perhaps drop by to see old friends! Yay!

It's Chinese New Year today....to all my Chinese friends - Gong Xi Fa Cai!
