Feeling dumb

ARGH! I feel so pissed off!

I was thinking SGD has increased in value against pounds & Euro for the past week, was afraid that it'll drop against them, so I asked my sis to help me buy some pounds & Euros and the exchange rate she managed to get:

€1 = SG$2.115
£1 = SG$2.957

which I think is not bad actually cos I saw the exchange rate from Yahoo finance was around:

€1 ~ SG$2.110
£1 ~ SG$2.935

And now before I wanted to sleep, the exchange rate is:

€1 ~ SG$2.1005
£1 ~ SG$2.9155

quite a great difference for pounds... luckily I didn't change much (cos I wasn't feeling rich), if not I'll sure be even more pissed...

Long time no update

I think I didn't really have a real update for 2 mths already...

Anyway my trip offshore Aussie was quite fun, but I had seasick... So missed out in some of the operations, which required me to stay indoors, and staying indoors makes me feel nauseous.

And London was quite fun! Went Stonehenge! And this is the only good thing that my newer camera (but more than my old faithful Panasonic FX8):



Taking self potraits. Haha. But it's only useful when u are alone, and the people passing by u will think that u're taking photo of a weird place. Like when I took a photo of the Big Ben, like this:



There are ppl who siam the area in front of me cos they thought I'm taking photos in front of me... Haha

Anyway, short update. I permed my hair again. Lol. Expensive man, burnt a hole in my pocket. But yay, pay is coming early this month. Wahahaha

In Perth domestic airport

It's 10.04am now in Perth. Waiting to board my domestic flight to Learmonth. Didn't know domestic flights not so gancheong. Haha. My flight is supposed to be at 10.30, and there's another flight in front of mine using the same gate, which is at 10.10, n they are only allowing ppl to board the plane now.

So I'm now relaxing at a internet kiosk which costs AU$2/15min. Quite ok lah. My hotel one was $15/30min, siao.

Anyway I tried to walk around Perth town area but quite late yesterday liao. Reach hotel at like 4+pm, but their shops are all closed so early, like 5+... luckily my hotel isn't v far away from town, so the cab fare was only AU$12, which I think is considered cheap here. I kinda appreciate the cheap cabs in Singapore now when I'm overseas.

And everytime I ooverseas, I'll sure overlook sth minor. This time round, I missed out my windbreaker. ARGH... Summary is I bought 1 sweater at a souvenior shop in Perth town area. But quite ex ah. But I'm glad I can find one. It was like 18 to 20 degrees yesterday and with the cold wind, I was damn cold lah.

Going offshore today liao. Hopefully I can learn lotsa stuffs there. And I heard of stories of (old and not pretty) female welder's underwear being stolen on board (and of cos, she knows the person who stole it cos they are all on board!) Hope this kinda thing dun happen to me though. Hehe

Happy bday to my mother and 3rd aunt!! (Sis u can show this to em if u happen to read this, hehe) Bon voyage to my maid!

Eye for a Guy 2

I blogged about this show back in June 2005 when the show was on Channel 5.

Recently, if u get to watch TVMobile quite frequently, u shld have at least saw 1 episode of it.

I didn't realise that it was such a long time back until I checked my blog counter, and found out that quite a few ppl googled for "eye for a guy 2", "denise keller wolfgang bali photos" etc etc, which didn't happen for the past 2 years.

Conclusion: There are people who watch TVMobile, and becomes interested in the programmes that they screened.

Anyway I was on the bus with Zhao Yong the other day and they were screening this show. I was telling him I watched nearly the whole series when it was shown on Channel 5 last time, and said sth like it was quite sad for Howard since he can't show that he's sad nor tell his friends bout it, which is the same as what I had commented on the Jun 05 blog entry, but I totally didn't rmb that I did.

Conclusion: A blog is a good invention for you to recall what you were thinking or what happened 2 years ago. I used to write diaries, but I stopped cos I type much faster than I write. =P

Live Web Cams

I'm sorry to disappoint u Gord & Merv, but I'm not going to intro web cams of young girls, but web cams of ANIMALS!!

Killer whales @ Seaworld San Diego: http://www.shamu.com/ Wait for the flash to load, and click on "WATCH THE SHAMU CAM". PS: In case u don't know, killer whales don't eat humans, they eat other smaller whales and sea mammals.

Pandas @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_panda_station.html
Most of the times, they'll be shooting a top view of 1 of the cages/rooms of the pandas, especially the Mama panda with the cub that was just born in Aug; unless u wake up in wee hours in Singapore (cos of time difference), and they might shoot the exhibition area. Anyway u can send an e-card via the web cam! How cool is that?!

Polar bears @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_polar_bear_plunge.html
I've only managed to see the polar bear once

Apes @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_absolutely_apes.html
Reminds me of the horny monkey that we saw in Taiwan's Liu Fu Chun. Eeeewwww... But anyway I've yet seen any apes from this cam.

Elephants @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wap/ex_elephants.html
I've only managed to see the zookeeper in the jeep passing by the cam... not the elephants yet...

Anyway, the host/server for these web cams is CamZone, and the site is here: http://www.camzone.com/ There's still somemore web cams that u can see of San Diego, think there's 2 or 3 on beaches (Perhaps in the end Gord & Merv can see girls in bikini.)

I found the panda web cam at 1st actually, via the Windows Vista gadgets cos somebody created a gadget linking to the web cam. My sis was commenting that I'm stalking the pandas cos it was sleeping and I was staring at the web cam. Haha. But anyway along with that, found other web cams hosted by CamZone. Super cool! And yah lah, I luv animals, I watch Animal Plant & Discovery Channel one ok! My dream destination is actually South Africa. Haha
