Taipei Trip Day 1

The morning flight is really very early, starting at 7.10am. Which means I need to wake up at around 3.45 - 4am! Amazingly, I'm the one that slept more but that's the photo of hardworking one vs the sleepy one :P So, who's the piggy here?

Dream Board Updates (Achieving 50% of 1 corner!)

That's the corner of my dream board that I've achieved like 50%. 50% because it had already been planned for and that the "You Guess" team finally confirmed my seats to their upcoming show recording session on 24th October! :D I feel so blessed that my persistence in emailing them pays off! The original email that I've got from a forum seems to be no longer valid as there wasn't any more replies from that email then I found their blog  and saw another email used for registration! So I've decided to try again. Then there are replies and last week there isn't any reply, probably due to their National holidays or something. I'm pretty excited to be going there although the recording session is pretty long, 6.5hrs for the session I picked. Perhaps with some luck, I might even be able to get a chance to take a photo with Jacky Wu! When I stick all those photos onto that board, it's like just a dream and I'm not even sure when I'd achieve...

The Mis-Changed Currency

Was supposed to change from Singapore dollars to Taiwan Dollars today. Unfortunately, Taiwan and Thai sounding similar, plus the exchange rate is really quite similar just that Thai's exchange rate is a bit better than Taiwan's (google says it's like 1 THB to 0.98 TWD). Somehow, the uncle hear wrongly and we didn't see correctly, so we ended up with THB instead. *fainted* OMG!!! (Still quite confused..) Luckily, my bro tell me when I show him the money if not maybe I'll attempt to use it in Taiwan haha... Haiz, so we had decided to just change back everything in Taiwan's airport directly instead, gave up. So that it will confirmed be changed to the correct currency with the AUD and HKD and the rest of the SGDs. Look on the bright side, we only changed like 25% of our original budget so it's not that bad and the exchange rate we got wasn't too bad. Come to think of it, it's actually quite funny. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day :D It'...

Updated my Blog Design

Recently, I've been working on the new blog template and giving my blog a new facelift! On the left is my blog screenshot and on the right is the original template. Currently, only the right sidebar and the image / label background remains the same. I had a pretty tough time adjusting the size of the scrolling images as well as the architecture of the template. Perhaps also in my attempt to simplify future editing. I was still thinking if I should customize the new template to the extend that it is totally different from the one I adapted from? It's currently about 30% different from the original one, in terms of the look and feel, although the structure is a lot more flexible than before. Should I or should I not?

A Visit to Sentosa

Last Saturday, we visited Sentosa for a walk and I managed to take a cute photo of our famous Merlion on my Palm! The island had changed a lot since my last visit quite some time ago. There's now Resort World and Universal studio. I heard from my colleagues that I can visit the Universal Studio on Saturday night for just $5 if I'm not planning to take any rides. But that's just to go inside and take photos along the main walkway. That sounds like I should drop by another day for a visit again. :P

Yarra Valley - Team Outing

Here's the highlight of the photos taken during our Team Outing at Yarra Valley. I love the fun loving side of our team and enjoyed the outing! After taking 2 shots with my camera, here's the best one with the front row of people in the air.
