21st of March 2008 is supposed to be the first official day of Spring in Sweden. Instead, we seems to be experiencing what we missed during winter - SNOW!!! Suddenly snowed in the morning today. After a few hours of heavy snow, we decided to go out and play.

Today had japanese food for dinner. A plate of 10-piece sushi costs 100kr. Yakiniku, 120kr. Really expensive to eat out. But never mind lah, once in a while, since we had a very happy day today.
When we reached home, I challenged my wife to walk in the snow barefooted. We also want to see who can stand still in the snow barefooted longer. We agreed I will go first, then it's her turn. Me, trying to stand for as long as I can.
I estimated I stood for less than 10 seconds. It was unbearable. I quickly gave up and ran into the house. My feet hurt so much, I collapsed.
About to pour hot water onto my legs to defrost them. My wife, of course decided not to try it herself, prefers to laugh at me instead.
Received more pictures of Shay Yen (our niece) from my brother today. This one looks really funny. Wife and I laughed so hard looking at this. Surrender?? Whatever??? PPPPPRRRPHHHTTTT!!!!!??? Her father must've tire her so much from taking photos. LOL!
2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...
Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
