Today's Breakfast

KS got the offer from Regal International Airport Hotel again. Still haven't totally brushed away the unpleasant memory about the scalded-accident that happened 2 months ago, we decided not to put a night in the hotel room, but just wanted to use up the free meal coupons in their restaurants.

Initially, I thought it would be just the two of us that go, but coincidentally, Vincent's school was shut down on today, so we got to take him along too. He was a bit nervous about visiting the place again. We had to repeatedly reassured him that everything is going to be fine. Poor boy.





Although Christmas is still a month to go, the spirit can be seen everywhere by now.
















The restaurant that serves us free breakfast...

Cafe Aficionado serves international breakfast buffet with over 50 items for selection, so it said.



I haven't taken buffet breakfast for many years already, not really fancy about eat-as-much-as-you-can anymore. Boy, how am I going to fill up my shrinking stomach with all those foods?



Of all the 50 items for selection, I only ate those foods, plus 2 glasses of fruit juice, couldn't push myself to eat anymore. What a waste if we had to pay for it !




After the breakfast, we walked up to the 7th floor to take a look of our never-check-in room. We wanted to spend some time in the room until afternoon so that we can fully utilized the outstanding meal coupon for lunch.

Unfortunately, internet connection is not a FOC item, but I really need to get back to work on line that morning. Furthermore, Vincent kept nagging us to go, so we just left the place after a while.

What a waste even though we don't have to pay for it !

Office Relocation

Many things happened on me for the past 3 weeks. As usual, I just want to remember the good things and let the bad things faded off from my memory.

The biggest changes would be the relocation of my office to a new place, a totally new place, about 3 weeks ago. Overall speaking, this changes do more good than bad to me, which once again, make me believe that things happen for a reason.

3 weeks since then, I had to admit that I feel really weird to stay where I am right now. It's not that easy to totally detach myself from the old environment and its community which I have been getting so used to for the past 7 years. Anyway, it's time to say good bye to the past and move on now.

Our office had been officially moved to the Science Park on 13-Nov-2008. The location is quite remote to many of my colleagues but not to me. It's only 10 min driving distance from my home. I like the place very much because of its superb environment. In fact, I have been dreaming to work here since long ago. Now, my dream had come true. Weird !




The office is facing the sea at one side. Lucky the managers, they can enjoy this superb sea view anytime they want.


Also, when they push their door, they can access to this super spacious balcony. Among colleagues, we gossip if we can have our lunch picnic here in the winter time, facing the natural sea view at one side, and the cyber-feel buildings at the other side. We still don't know if this is going to happen? We'll see...



KS and I took the kids to this place on last Sunday evening. When the boys see this egg-shape building, they asked me if it is some sort of spaceship? Frankly speaking, I haven't figured out what it is myself too.



This open air restaurant is located just opposite our office. We were dining here on last Sunday night. To my surprise, the fountains set there are not ordinary fountains, but it can turn itself to be a musical fountains. The boys were so thrilled to see it that they ran too near to it, and got themselves wet a little bit. This place is indeed a very pleasant place to spend a relax evening with family or friends.




Besides the open air restaurants, there are also several indoor restaurants as well. Due to the transportation inconvenience, the people who work here have not much choices but to dine in the Science Park. That cause the place too crowded during lunch hour.




That is actually my working cubicle at the old office. Anyway, the new working cubicle is basically same like this one since we just move it to the new office. Just that the desk is more cleaned up now, as shown in the above picture.





Oh yes, my plant. Look how big it grows now. The lovely flowers never stop blossom ever since the first flower show up about 2 months ago.






I love it. It's just like my baby, cause I've planted it from a single leaf.
