Took a train from Mitcham to City... It cost around $10 for unlimited rides on train, trams and buses. Kinda cool as you dun have to worry about taking a wrong bus/ train and wasting money.
Train rides in Melbourne are very long and as we are in Zone 2, the average traveling time is around 1 hour there about.
Very bored so yeah, took lotsa photos.
Took some photos at the train station.
The doors have a yellow handle and you can actually open it when the train stops. So for those who dunno, do not be like us who stand there waiting for the train door to open. Malu man...
Yeah! This is Spencer Street/ Southern Cross Station. Shopping Time!
After shopping at Spencer Street DFO, we went around the city on the Free Tram - The City Circle Tram, and yeah more photos... Yeah, jumping ones too. Haha.
This is the State Library and you can just find lotsa people/ students studying at the grass patches around the building. The building is nice and yeah, it is hard to get a spot to study in the library. You have to go early.
Took this photo around Yarra River, 1 of the more expensive area in Melbourne City.
Toilet. No, I did not use it. Its beside a traffic light junction. Perhaps for people who need to pee urgently while driving?

:: Melbourne Trip ::
Sorry for the delay people!
Trip to Melbourne started on Thursday and I must comment that security in Changi Airport is so freaking tight now! Even a ring that I wear around my neck gotta be disclosed... This sounded off the alarm!
The security personnels are also not the friendliest of people as they really give firm and strict rules to people that they scanned.
Should I feel safe???
Thats the plane that I took. Sat right at the end and its not comfortable at all.. :(
The default/ standard in flight photo...
Well, arrived in Melbourne on Friday Morning at around 5am Australia Time (3am SGP Time) and waited in the airport for Eve's mother to arrive at 9am.
Tried to surf in the airport but all networks are either password protected or need to pay. Damm! They only surfing to Yahoo and Hotmail. How nice...
Was damm bored so started playing around with my mac and just bascially bumping around people watching...
2 girls liked me. Eve and Eve... Hee hee.
Anyway, Catherine & Family came over to pick the whole gang up and we proceeded home.
Eve and I took Cat's car and we must say that she stay pretty far from the airport and she's a heavy footer.
Slept on the way home and so nothing to blog about.
The video was done by LLL and Number 1 ... Not bad right... I "kapoed" the idea for my proposal video :P
Had my corporate retreat at Batam View Resort during the last month of August. It is at Nongsa which is 30 mins from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
The objective was to craft out the mission and vision for the Council. Seems like we have been working blindly for the past many many years.
This is the view from the Seminar Room... Not bad right... Will be the first to know of any Tsunami... And can see Singapore.
Planning for the retreat was crazy/ hectic as the organising committee got to know what the VIPs need and to cater to their special requests.
IQ and I will always do out the planning for the ferry boarding, room allocation and other inventory or logistics planning, and US will change it at the last moment. After the retreat however, I have officially become a worm and US is now my stomach. lol. I just need to sniff and I will know what he is thinking of.
I also officially confirm that IQ is super blur... She set off the ALARM in ATC once!
Fortunately, the retreat went smoothly.
This was the place that Dinner was supposed to be held... Guess what the BTM pple said.. "No BBQ at Kelong.. Later kelong catch fire how?" Duh.. like they dun cook at the kelong like that.
Lessons that I learnt from the retreat: Dun expect the BTM pple to work fast. They are already 1 hour behind us.

Doo Doo 1, Doraemon 0
The Doreamon Speaker
The Doo Doo Doll
When I back to the office , I was showing my video to the CL Department and JOdie was laughing...
Well, I have shared with her how I am going to propose to Eve many many many months ago. That's even before I started doing the video for Eve. The unfortunate thing is that her boyfriend did exactly the same thing as me.
4D ALERT!!!! Cable car number: 41 Mine: 42 Will buy 4D on Sat and Sunday... Tee Gong Bo Bee 4142 tio bey sai also can...
Same Dinner... Same type of present... Same Ring??? Gotta check with JOdie
Before you start saying that her boyfriend and I conspired on the proposal, I must admit that the idea to propose was not a new idea. I also "kapoed" the idea from my friend. My friend, however, succeeded with a powerpoint slideshow.
I think I better lah, at least got cinema standard video complete with surround sound system. thanks to Doo Doo...
Morale of the story...
Lucky JOdie never share my idea with Eve...
A powerpoint slideshow is needed at least. Do something that you wont normally do. Like wearing a super bright tee-shirt or kneeling down in public.
Imagine shaving "will you marry me on your head" or tattooing it around your groin area and asking your girlfriend to peep.. Cool. She will most likely say yes if you have a big asset, erm, I mean nice tattoo.
For girls: Even if you know the next move, act blur leh... It takes a lot of effort and courage to pop the special questions. Its only 4 words, but it is really not easy to do it.
Saw this on my way home... Damn, if I know GOD, will ask him to add I & U to complete the picture.

recommended show: Chuck and Larry
Watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry at Vivo after dinner. It was a funny show and the plot and storyline is simple.
Recommended for all.
In case that is not enough, Jessica Biel stripping in this show is another plus point!

Starting Point
Flowers ...
Checked ...
Present ...
Checked ...
Video...
Checked ...
Handsome Guy... Erm.... No need to check. lol Pretty Babe ... Erm... Where to find??? lol...
Well, today is the day that I am going to propose to my partner. We started partall-ing on 6 March 1999 when we went for a movie at Riverside Point. For those who are not aware, there used to be a cinema there.
8.5 years have passsed and many things have happened and we have changed tremendously during this time. People used to dun think that we will be together and we are out to prove them wrong. Nothing gonna stop us now.
As I was doing this video, I was actually flipping through the old old photos that I have. This photos were not even on a digital camera and I have to secretly go and scan them.
And I realise one thing: I have definitely grown more "handsome". NorthEast Line has now officially been made a landmark on my face and I believe the Circle Line is going to stretch across my forehead pretty soon.
As for Eve, she has become slimmer. She used to weigh a whopping ??? kg.. I dun even know, she still doesn't want to tell me. All I can say is that I can lift her up now!
This is a present that I bought. Eve thought that the "hard hard thing" that she felt was the box for the diamond ring..
Omg... She really think too much right.
Dinner was at in a cable car cabin and it was very jittery. I think that as I grow older, I seem to become more afraid of heights. Anyway, think the jittery works and the proposal went ahead smoothly.
The Food was ok. And I strongly recommend this place to all who want to do something special for their significant other half.
Our main course
this photo + 2 magnets + 2 business sized photo card cost $30.
There's a way to get it free though, but I shall not tell you..
Na nee na nee buu buu
To conceal that, I have to force a smile.
Well, at the critical moment, I took out my trusty mac and played the video.
I have a footage of her crying, shall upload next time.
the moment that I have been waiting for. did not wait for her to say yes. Just put the ring on...
