Rectification work on kitchen window sills.

on the 15th March (sat), my house contractor send someone to do some rectification work on my kitchen window sills. The previous week, Singapore had one of the few heaviest rain. And becoz of this, i found my kitchen window sills with water seeping in. Previously, there is already some seepage, but more towards one corner and during heavy rain with the wind blowing towards my kitchen windows. I did some quick self repair by applying some sealant at that corner. But becoz of the especially heavy rain, the seeping was really bad. The window sills seems like slanted in a way that make the rain water trapped on the sills

The worker came on time. Told him about the problems. Then we went to see the window sills. He told me that he will drill a few more drain holes to let the water passed out more easily. Also, he applied some sealants along the grooves to prevent the rain water from seeping thru. All the work was completed within a hour.

Other Events

On the 9th March, went to Dingshen’s house for his son’s 1 month baby shower. Met up with Shunli at Ang Mo Kio and head there together. Reach there around 2pm and then chit chat with them. Talk about old times and our current situations. Time flies so fast. Dingshen and Shunli is my primary school classmates. We went to Bukit Ho Swee Primary School together. Now the school no more liao. We stayed around the same neighbourhood. We also went to the same secondary school, Queenstown Secondary School, together, but different classes. Then after that, we studied Diploma in Mechantronics also, but different polytechnic. I was in Singapore Polytechnic, Shunli in Nayang Polytechnic and Dingshen in Temasek Polytechnic.

08/03 - Xiuling Birthday Celebration

On the 8th March, after collecting my van from the workshop, went home, rest, changed and then went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to meet the WLNY friends for the celebration of Xiuling’s Birthday. Well, her birthday is on the 5th March, but she wasn’t free then, so we decide to meet on 8th Marc (Sat) nite to celebrate. The meeting time was 9.30pm at McDonald. I went there slightly earlier to buy the cake from Angie The Choice and went to the McDonald to had my dinner there also. Xiuling and her bf arrived on time. With the rest arriving after that. Mitchelle was the last coz she had to rush home from Suntec’s IT Show and then come out again. haha. By then, it was around 10.30pm. After that, we took awhile to decide where to go to celebrate. After some discussion, we decided on Bukit Merah McDonald, as it is larger and lesser crowd than Tiong Bahru. After we reach there, we got some drinks and also got some serviettes from McDonald, cause i forgot to bring paper plates.

We chit chatted for awhile before taking the cake to celebrate Xiuling’s Birthday. Quite fun. And lots of laughter. We ended at around 12 midnite. :)

08/03 - Van’s Alarm System and LED Strips

Haven’t been blogging much lately. Been lazy and been playing facebook.. haha. Well, let me start my recapping some of the events.

Went to install alarm system and LED strips in my van. Was there the previous week, but the guy at the workshop forgotten about my appointment and had taken in a few new cars to work on. Initially, they told me that they would not be able to install the alarm for me that day. Later part, they told me to left my van there and collect it at around 7-8pm that night. As i had other appointments at that time, i told them that i can’t and would come back one week later. Was also quite disappointed with them. How could they forget the appointment. Anyway on the 8th March, i went there at around 11.30am, left my van there for them to install the alarm system and the LED strips. Then went had my lunch at the canteen there. Lennard came to pick me up and we went to the IT Show at Suntec. Reached there around 2pm and meet up with Charlotte. She is getting a new digital camera and need some advice.

The IT Show is at Suntec at level 1, 3, 4 and 6. Mainly the same stuffs with other computer fair. Was thinking of getting a new laptop to replace my personal travel laptop. But decide to put it off till later. But took some brochures to have an idea what to get later. Seems like i would not be able to get a laptop with Windows XP. All the new laptops now is loaded with Windows Vista. Anyway, the Asus 12.1″ laptops series looks interesting. Anyway, we finished going thru the IT Show around 4pm. Then walk to Lennard’s van and was off on our way to collect my van.

Reach there and the guys are still installing the alarm system on my van. The LED Strips is done, but the they met some problems with the installation of the van alarm system. Something to do with the delay in the front cabin’s light turning off after the door had been closed. So they re-wired to tap the signal from the door’s switch. And then later, they discover that the signal from the turbo timer caused the alarm system to de-activate when it is running. So they did some re-wiring and it was done.

Falling Sick…

That day after the gathering with the WLNY friends at Mr Prata, i reached home at around 4am after sending the rest home. Then i started to have diarrhea. Then at ard 5am, went to toilet again. At ard 6am, 8am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 12noon, went to toilets. By then, was really shacked out. Managed to get some sleep after that till 4pm. Wake up with a fever. Checked the temperature with a thermometer and found that my temperature was 37.9 deg C. Took 2 panadols and drank lots of water…  but dun dare to take anything… coz scare of diarrhea.

At nite, ard 8pm, went to North Plaza to get some light dinner. Saw the Chingay@North progression. Stayed awhile to watch the vehicles went pass. Then went home to eat my light dinner. But after that, i had to go to the toilet 3 times. Wanted to go and see the doctor that night, but the clinics around here dun operate on Sunday night. So no choice, i have to go and see the doctor the next day morning.

Next day morning, wake up and still have abit of fever. Called my supervisor and told him that i will be going to see the doctor for diarrhea and fever. Was given 1 day MC to rest at home and medication for my diarrhea and fever. Was told to have soft diet for the next few days. That day, rest and sleep at home.

Prata Outings

23rd Feb, meet up with the WhoLivesNearYou gang and as mentioned previously, we went to Mr Prata at Evans Road for prata and chill out. Met them at Tiong Bahru Plaza McDonald at 10am and waited ard 1hr for everyone to arrive. We was discussing whether to go Ben & Jerry at Demsey Road or Mr Prata. In the end, Raphael and Mitchelle wanted to eat prata, so we set the location to be at Mr Prata. I had to go to pick up Mitchelle who is at Marina Square’s K-Box singing karaoke with her friends. After picking her up, we went to the Mr Prata and was surprise to find that Derick and Jeff was not there yet as they have set off earlier than us. Then we found that they went to pick Eugene at Plaza Singapura. Eugene was there watching movies. Late, Eva also came and join us.
We order some pratas, mutabak, and drinks and chit chat. It was quite fun as we crack lots of jokes and keep laughing. Here are some of the pics. :)

Angel Eyes

As mentioned in the previous post, i had went to install Angel Eyes for my van on 23rd Feb. Wat is Angel Eyes? It is some cool headlight for the vehicles, with a light ring around the light. Last time, didn’t really want to install it, but when i saw some other cars with the cool headlights, i started to feel tempted to install it. And since i decide to keep my van instead of selling it away, i decide to install angel eyes on my van. And just nice, Alvin’s workshop brought in some angel eyes for Opel Combo. It was nice with LED eyelid. So decide to take it and told Alvin i will be going down to his workshop on 23rd Feb to install. The installation took about 2hrs. And i really like the effect of the angel eyes.

Here are some pics of the angel eyes. :)

Had took some photos of it, but have not edited it and upload to my photo gallery yet. After that, went out in the evening with Shunli to eat dinner at Old Airport road and then had ice blended mocha at Tiong Bahru Plaza Coffeebean. Its the last 2nd day before closing for renovation. Alot of things on display was removed. even the air-con was not working.

At nite, met the WLNY friends for chit chat. After 1hr plus of waiting, we went to Mr Prata at Evans Road. There was fun and laughter there. Also had took some photos but not yet edited yet. Will post the pics and talk more when i am done editing. Went home around 4am and was down with diarrhea after that. Really terrible feelings. And when i woke up in the afternoon, also had a fever. At nite, wasn’t able to see a doctor, cause the doctor around my neighbourhood dun operate on Sunday afternoon or nite. Dun dare to eat much stuff that day. Next day morning, went to see a doctor and got a MC to rest at home. Took soft diet for the next few days.
