27-29 Dec 2013 Ronghui & Sheany Wedding Celebration

After much co-ordination and even a recce trip a few weeks back, finally the day arrived for all of us to travel up North to celebrate our friend, Ronghui's wedding in Segamat Malaysia. The gang met up at the bus stop outside Asia Pacific Breweries at 9.30pm before proceeding to clear the custom and Tuas Checkpoint.

After meeting up at the bus stop, Car 1 driver, Yingshun with Ruilong & Ronghui's brother, Car 2 driver Junwei and his family (Ginny and little Evan) and Car 3 driver Edwin and his family (Yvonne and Raynie) with me. The custom clearance was done in quick time though there's moderate traffic. We proceed on to our first re-org destination, a petrol station after clearing the toll in Malaysia. After a short toilet break, we proceed on without break to our destination in Segamat. The entire journey took us 3 hours before we finally link up with Ronghui, the host for a light supper before putting up at a holiday house, Homestay.

With each family in one room, Ruilong and I stayed in one room and we had to shift the bed so that I do not have to sleep directly under the aircon blower. After settling now in our home for the next 2 days, we have some locally harvested durian before quickly calling it a night so as to prepare ourselves for the long day.

Woke up very early in the morning, about 7.30am and get ready to proceed for breakfast. Ah Gong Bak Ku Teh was our breakfast before proceeding back to the Homestay and while the little one rest for the luncheon later, the ladies went for some relax time at the saloon.

A five seconds kiss and a song by the couple for all the guests at their lunch reception.

After the luncheon, we proceed back to the homestay before deciding on our next programme. However, as the little ones are tired and would be difficult to bring them out, the parents decided to just stay in the holidays house and enjoy. A food party was just out to get dinner back for all, while the host again proceed to collect the durian ordered. After dinner, the much awaited highlight of the trip was about to start... fireworks...

The young ones experiencing their first with fireworks, smiling faces over all their faces...

And even the adults can't wait to get their hands on the limited supply...

And finally the grand finale to the fireworks playing... 188 shooting fireworks...

The little heavy box that made all this fireworks possible...

After the delightful fireworks, it's bedtime for the little one and before that, it's milk time... And they will always look for their favourite babysitter...

New found friendship between the two young boys, before parting our way... home...

Bellroy Travel Wallet - 26 December 2013

The Mont Blanc wallet I bought a few years back, cannot really remember when I got it, but I think it should have probably served me for a good 6 years at least.

I had wanted to send it in for servicing for quite a while but finally decided to get a new one instead. Nevertheless, this wallet had served me well and had definitely been worth the brand and price that I had paid for.

Did a search on Google for a wallet shop in Singapore near my place before leaving my house for it, but instead was attracted by this and the rest is history.

The Bellroy Travel Wallet

Can you spot the different? The one on the left is without passport while the right one has my passport in it!!!

 Though a bit long in length, it allow one to keep the passport in it as well as air ticket and boarding pass. It also has slots for often used cards and the in frequently used ones. It also come with a micro pen for used in filling in document and custom forms.

And finally, in the book of instruction, the last page is the commonly used words in different countries...

Don't believe me... cause I dun believe it myself...

No one is going to believe that I walked Orchard Road from end to end, to be exact, from Orchard Tower to Plaza Singapura on Christmas Eve ALONE!!! But the truth and fact is...

I really did that and it was the longest walk I ever had, largely due to the crowd and construction site at the area only worsen the situation. Along the way, I took some pictures of the Christmas lightings and decorations that the shopping malls had put up.

The first shot taken at the cross junction at Lido. Lido is going through a major revamp / renovation...

The spiral Christmas Tree just outside the side entrance of Marriott.

Taken outside Paragon.

Taken at one of the junction, the ribbon on the lamp post...

Shopping Malls (Center Points & Orchard Central across the street) decorations...

While walking through the crowd, I am also constantly looking for a place to chill out, which was my main reason why I was there in the first place. However, it's either too crowded or I simply dun like the place. Hence continued walking until the Hawker Centre opposite the Grand Hotel and had my dinner there before continuing the journey down Orchard Road.

Finally, decided to catch a movie and check my iPhone for availability. Watching movie alone had always been convenient as you can simply slot yourself into a single seat. Decided on the show to watch, I moved on towards the cinema, Golden Village @ Plaza Singapura.

The final two pictures I took, before getting into the cineplex at Plaza Singapura. First one is of the Istana Park opposite The Istana Entrance and the other is just outside the entrance of Plaza Singapura.

And this is the Chirstmas movie I watched! 47 RONIN...

It's a movie about 47 samurai who, upon the death of their master became lordless samurai (ronin) and how they found purpose and reason to fight and avenge their death lord. Interesting movie with a bit of Japan history lesson within.

AND THAT'S XMAS 2013 FOR ME!!!
