AZ POA 2008

phew, the yearly poa finally ended after 3 days in singapore
and 2 days of conference in sabah. super worn out and drained.
felt that there was a significant improvement from last year.
this year was good in the sense that we can do our ESS audit and
training in spore and when it comes to the company's goal and objective,
did it with the malaysia and brunei team. it's really a very good idea.
and of course, for this year's conference in sabah, sutera harbou resort,
it's definitely a much much more ideal location compared to langkawi.
better food, better accomodation,better venue.
too bad we only spent 2 nights there, and didn't get to see sabah at all.
interactions between our malaysia and brunei counterparts' limited as well.

the worse thing is, there's something wrong with my camera's memory card!!!
can't read the photos!!!
damn. that's the worst thing that can happen to a photographer.

strawberry gaga

initially martin, michelle and myself were just browsing around,

looking for something for the pharmacist.

then, something struck us.

on closer look...

wow! $26.90 for a small packet of strawberries!!!

well, u can call me mountain tortoise, but that's really the most

expensive strawberries i've ever seen- compared to

the one whole of box 1.0kg of strawberries for $2 i bought in dalat.

but well, this are amaou strawberries from fukuoka, japan.

i can tell u, it's every cents worth.

texture is perfect, not too tough, not too soft, just nice.

a little sour at first bite, but marvellously sweet when u bite

into the flesh.... heavenly ! (errr, yah, we actually bought it)

apparently, 1 strawberry like this is filled with so much goodness.

- rich in vitamin c. 5-8 of amaou strawberries is enough to

fulfill body's daily requirements

- pectin (fibre), promotes better regulation of the digestive system functions

- potassium, helpes the body to get rid of excess sodium

ah, that must be one of the most expensive fruit bites i've ever had

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

i'm down...

today i'm down with gastric flu/food poisoning.
as usual, the GP couldn't draw a certain conclusion on
what I'm actually suffering from.
just fed me with anti-spasmodic, anti-diarrhaer,
anti-vomit and salt replacement drugs.
drowsy whole day..... :-(

how to cross a road in saigon

here's a guideline on how to cross road in saigon
when it's busy (always is).

1. NEVER, ever trust the green man or the zebra crossing
2. walk slowly at consistent speed
3. pause for a while if necessary
4. NEVER reverse
5. if a bike is coming your way, continue walking, it'll avoid you
6. practise for 2-3 more times and you'll reach perfection

introductory keelboat session

today's my first sailing experience and it was totally fun.

many things to remember, many steps to follow and many

things to take note, but well, since it's an introductory course

we cannot ask for much anyway.

oh yah, for those who've no idea what a keelboat is, here you are:

"The term keelboat is also used to describe any sailboat which has a keel, as opposed to a centerboard, multihull or daggerboard..." Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However, we met with a storm and were totally drenched.

but i can really tell u it's very very exciting riding through the storm.
