Taking a break at TCC after dinner and movie session, TRANSFORMERS. Effects are awesome, but those who used to follow it closely during their childhood, i think they didn't follow closely to the actual details of the Autobot and the Decepticons. But it sure brings back memories.

Even small kids travel in style. Saw this American( or maybe Eurasian) lady with her 2 small kids parked their vehicle just outside MacDonalds at Tanglin Mall.
Botanic Garden
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Woke up at 7am this morning to meet my colleagues to go Singapore Botanic Gardens to do some photoshooting.
I was assigned to go down to one of my office plant and get the 4 LCDs to work. And everything didn't go well for the first 2 days. I thought i could finish it on Wednesday. Day 1, we had to get access to the room, and when i finally went to get a ladder to go up, the system gave me a blue-screen-of-death. To work up there is impossible. So we have to get facilities management, to carry it down. Day 2, i had to reinstall the system from scratch because nobody has the administrator account for the workstation. Then had to install all the system drivers from scratch and thereafter moving the PC back into the ceiling. Day 3, when i got the system running. We had difficulties getting the display to merge into 1. It's like solving a 4 pieced puzzle. And finally just a couple of minutes account, we got it up and running. Still the problem is it is unable to display and form of video or slide show in 1 screen (4 screens merged). But they have accepted the fact, then could load up a single page to display info. Imagine i had to work from the ladder most of the time for the past 3 days. The room is cold and difficult to access but at the end of the day, job done. And it is almost time to go home and enjoy the weekend.
Went back to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to return their portable heart monitor so they can take the readings for the specialist to analyse. Feels so much better without all those cables gone.
Going to be uncomfortable sleeping with these cables all around me. Have to endure until i return it back to them at 8am.
And here are all the stuff which i bought during my Taiwan trip.
...more to come.
This is a delay blogged entry from my recenty Taiwan trip. Got up early that morning, in Taichung, and noticed this huge cage outside our hotel.

Leaving Taipei
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Bought our bus tickets from Guo Guang bus station to Taoyuan Airport. This morning, there was a broadcasted news that there was a chemical explosion near the airport and it is affecting all flights there, lets hope ours is unaffected. The bus frequency is 15 to 20 minutes. For those of you taking the bus from Taipei to the airport, just tell them you are heading to terminal 1 as that is where all AirAsia passengers board.
Final Dunk

Went to Xi Men Ting for a quick bite. Did some last minute shopping and munched at Dunkin Donuts.
We just had breakfast and also time to pack our belongings. Going to check out soon and hang around at the bus station before heading to the airport to catch our flight home.
"Our last breakfast in Taiwan."
"Today is their grand opening."
"...and these are my luggages. Actually only came with 2 bags and now 4."
This is the most interesting part of the trip. Pack our shopping into limited luggage space. After blogging, we have to clear our beds or else no sleep for us.

Bye mountains & caves, Hello Taipei city!

As our tour guide drops us off at the train station, it's time for us to get on the next train back to Taipei city for more shopping. Time really flies as 1 week in Taiwan is just gonna be over.
Spring Water Break
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Just had lunch not too long and taking a break at our next stop. Now having coffee next to the river. Went to feel the cold spring water and picked up some natural marbles.
Lunch at Taroko
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Time to take a break. Lunch is filling and cheap as usual. I tried their super upsized can of Sunkist orange, definite a thirst quencher. Then we will walk around to check out souveniers.
Taroko - Land of natures massive structures
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
We have arrived at Taroko and the view of massive cliffs, mountains, streams, valleys are just amazing. The air is cooling up here with occassion droplets of the cold spring water. Lotsa tunnels which we passed through just going to each scenic point.
