Milk Products on Recall

This is a list that I received today via email, not sure if these are all the products at risk or just partial, currently on AVA website, only 3 products are listed. They even put photos of the affected products which is great for domestic helpers who may not understand english so well!









Rabbit candy has always been a topic of hot debate, so for those who enjoy that sweet since childhood, do you have any strange or adverse medical condition that plagues you? Are you weak in certain areas that is outside your family tree?

Olympics to me....

We've been trying to catch bits of the Olympics on tv whenever we can. Its not an event that occurs everyday. What fascinates me is always the diving, gymnastics and swimming. I love watching the different sports persons push their barriers and perform beyond our wildest expectations.

It was a historical moment when the Koreans lost their 24years top position in archery to China. I can feel their pressure even when we are a few thousand miles away, watching them behind the box.

I was amazed at how Michael Phelps could swim so FAST! In his 100m swim, he wasnt even leading in the first 50m, but that sudden burst at the last 50m.... felt like he had an engine underneath that water. Impressive.

Synchronized diving was another sport that amazed me this time when I saw how the world champions from China do their nearly perfect dives. They have perfect synchronization even in the slow motion playback. That was so unbelievable. I wonder how many million dives have they jumped before they could achieve such perfect dives.

When you look at each of these athletes, they are all just one individual, from humble background. Who pursued their dreams, persevered in trying to achieve their goals. The amount of sweat, blood, tears that has gone into their training must have weighed buckets. For their determination, I salute them.

On screen, you can also often see the gymnast falling off the poles, landing on their knees, that feeling of failure must be immense for them. To be able to put aside that lousy feeling, pull themselves together and garner more courage to continue on with their item. That to me is real courage and maturity.

Well, the most exciting moment must have been getting sms updates from Alvin who was watching the table tennis semis LIVE! His smses kept me on my toes, wishing that i was right infront of the tv at that moment!!

It was a proud and joyful moment when we knew that we will definitely WIN a medal! At last, we wont be just a tiny red dot, we'll be a tiny red dot with some decent paddlers. hee hee

I was going to sing MAJULAH SINGAPURA but all my friends were not into expressing their love for their country so openly... so I just have to secretly sing that in my heart lor.

Here's to more exciting matches!

Tank In Action!



Are you packing up your bags and trying to run?

Dun worry, its not a real tank... its a miniature, remote control version with sound effects also!

It's quite a beauty, moving through the flat-to-me-but-mini-slope-to-it-terrains. Especially on patches of the grass which a stone has been removed or something, you can see the tank dip its head hee hee so cute!

Found outside Marina Shopping Mall facing Esplanade, under a blazing hot sun at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon... Go find them if you are interested!

Here's one more close up!

T3!

Yes, our T3 is opening soon!

When the news came on tv for visitors to go check out our latest terminal, I was pretty excited as I've seen its construction over the past year (as I've been sending and receiving my home VIP to&fro the airport). So I was excited to go check it out!

Then! by some mere co-incidence, I ended up in T3 without really intenting. And since I was there, I might as well take some shots with my Linus :)

I was fooled into thinking that I was at some new wing of the T2 when I saw these men working hard at the counters with these "fake lugagges"


I peeped and saw the famous T1 tower from the windows and thought for a moment, the direction is really wrong if I was really at T2... hmm....


Which means I must be at T3! ha ha ha

Do you know that you can SEE the arrival guests checking out at the customs in T3? Cool right?


take a closer look...


So I still need to take the sky train to T1 from T3... sigh... And I thought that there was a direct walkway between the two.


And did you know that there's a different train to go to T2 from T3 as well? I wonder why dun they just build one train track to move between all 3 terminals? Most of the international terminals with more than one terminal usually just have one train, save $ and confusion... strange.


here's a short clip of my "exploration" of the new T3 ha ha ha
