Window shopping in OC and ION

Spend a day window shopping in orchard is rather a luxury experience. There is so much to see... ooops... sounded like an advert :P

I like OC better. The building structure is very unique. The shops makes me feel like as if I am in Shinjuku, Japan. In particularly of one of the level, where the walls are made of recycled machinery etc. Its like the Lumina Departmental stores in Shinjuku station.

Look at the space! The feel of emptiness in a shopping complex is great!

Best part is we have Ootayo (Japanese resturant) there... oh... my fave japanese food chain in Japan is here. Happy!

Its so difficult to find a good short get away place....

Its been half a year since we go for a good holiday. 想想。。。last year this time, we were at Nagano, enjoying the great autumn temperature and red, yellow golden leaves... oh... how I miss the place...

Yes, this time we want to go for short trip... but end up, cannot decide where to go. Bintan, Sabah, Hong Kong etc are all in our 'want' list. Quite a big selection. I think its the cost does not justify for the 4 or 5 days vocation. We deem it 'bo hua' (hokkian). After talking to a few clients, they too, have the same feel... even commented going short trip nowadays is expensive.

So in the end, we decided to take vocation in Singapore instead. After doing our calculation, it will definitely only cost us less than S$300 for a good deals!

And the advantage roam in Singapore beginnings...from orchard...!

Different country, Different culture. It's True!

Duck - Dog talk? Ya, if you never communicate to the people of that particular country, it can be frustrating!

In the process of setting up Potpots.com, I learn that communication is really an ART!
Internet and boardband are greatest tool on earth, as far as, speedy commuication is concerned. We got in contact with different people around the world to help us in setting up this business.

Yes, people from these places are really friendly. I can feel it. But the speed of work is hintered by the words and language we used. It takes time to understand them and then work in their styles. So I did a lot of cut and paste picture, writing really short sentense, speaking in broken English... Ironically, Potpots is the boss (paying) and yet, we have to drive in vendor's direction...
Well, really not much of a choice when you want to finish things faster. We call that "begin with the end in Mind" :)

Oh no no.. I am not complainting. That's not my style :P What I really want to remember here is people are positive and helpful by nature. Challenges might make our turn away. Perhaps we should put the other party before us, read it from another prospectives! This may turn challenges into solutions. Do not be afraid of being the one of less advantage, as long as you can reach your objectives.

Cheers! Skillful management of relationship speed up work.

Celebrating YOG with the Nation :D

Cheers to the Singapore hosting the Youth Olympics 2010!!!!

I was there... that moment of joy and proudness of being a Singaporean.

Yup! I choose to spend my birthday night with one of Singapore's biggest event of the year :D

The environment is super youthful... one moment, I feel that I am back to secondary school again... hee... young young :D

Actually this is the first time I participated in a National event. Extremely fun and emotional. Hmmm... this party can be considered as a smaller scale of National Day.

I believe the hosting of this game will definitely bring more good years to the Singapore economy.
