That day, my assistant manager told me that we need to procure in-trays for the department. Seriously, I don't see the reason for getting an in-tray. If I've got work for them to do, isn't it easier for me to throw the files on their tables, than to have to aim and throw into the in-tray? And furthermore, they have asked for those enclosed in-trays with drawers, which cost …

I'm a manager working in a huge local organisation. We have long long time ago claimed to be privatised, but don't worry, we still run our business like a regular statboard. We have to, you know? So that we can still keep all the red tapes. What you're reading now is my diary which I try to write everyday in the office. What? You think I should be writing it at home after …

This is what happens when the world, oh okay, at least the country, is in peace, and all ministers and MPs decided to think before they talk. When there is not enough news to fill up the newspapers pages. This is the time when you get to read all kinds of hilarious news like some old actor refusing to pay his wife's alimony after he divorced her for a gal young enough to be …

The Venetian is one of Macau's many super luxurious hotel-cum-casinos. If it is in Singapore, we would have called it an Integrated Resort that is supposed to offer all sorts of entertainment and shopping for the family and the casino is just a tag-along. We couldn't afford to stay in the suites in The Venetian (oh yes, they've only got suites) but we could at least shop in …

Besides the countless casinos and hotels, Macau has got lotsa churches and temples too. And what strikes me is that all the churches are painted in striking colors of bright green or yellow, no matter how old they are! Just like this St. Dominic's Church in the middle of a shopping district... Ironically, with the vast number of old churches in Macau, the most famous …

Recently, some rich and successful young chap who paid $10,000 for MM Lee's signature started a vulgarities war with a rather popular blogger who is famous for his humourous use of vulgarities. Yah I know, you can already see who is at the losing end. Like an army cook challenging Macro Pierre White to a cooking competition. But that is not the reason why this chap is famous …

This morning we were going to take a Turbojet from Hong Kong to Macau. Since the ride takes slightly less than an hour, we packed some breakfast from the local bakery to eat on the ferry. I really love to drink Vitasoy whenever I'm in Hong Kong. It just tastes so much better than any of those Yeos or even Marigold "fresh" soya bean milk. Definitely more "beany". When we …

Yes I know Big Buddha sounds kinda literal translation. In fact, they call it Giant Buddha on the official tourism website. But when we were there, we saw the sign "This way to Big Buddha". No, we didn't bring any post-it note to correct it. The Giant Buddha is next to the Po Lin Monastery. The whole place is supposed to be religious and quiet. But no, after a place is …

Okay, before we scare ourselves to death on the cable car with glass bottom, we need to feed our empty stomachs. And besides the dim sum and wanton noodles, congee is a must-have in Hong Kong. So early in the morning, we took the MTR train all the way to the old streets of Shueng Wan to look for the famous Sang Kee Congee Shop. Sang Kee Congee Shop, like the name says it …

I've never been to the top of the Peak and my friend has never been to the Madam Tussauds, so this time in Hong Kong we decided to go up hill. What we didn't expect was the super duper long queue just to buy tickets for the Peak Tram! And the best part? After queuing for more than half an hour, we found out that the queue for the Madam Tussauds and Peak Tram combo ticket was …

After breakfast, we continued our walk along Central and Sheung Wan and chanced upon the old Hong Kong police headquarters. The old British building stands out proud among the modern skysc …

This morning we woke up early for an early dim sum breakfast. And the best way to travel from Causeway Bay to Central is by the good old tram. Hong Kong's tram has numerous stops along the coastline of Hong Kong island, cost only HK$2 (that's only S$0.35!) to go anywhere, the trams are frequent, and with the route map at almost every stop, it is damn easy to take! Hey, why …

We were so lucky that we walked right into the Michael Lau exhibition held in a shopping center in Causeway Bay! There was even a big character right in the center of the hall! Of course you'll expect the famous Gardeners! Since I'm too poor to get a Michael Lau figurine, I went to get supper instead. Besides a nice and warm ginger milk bubble tea from Gong Cha, I …

The most economical and convenient way to travel from Hong Kong airport to downtown is via the Airport Express. They have single trip tickets to either Hong Kong or Kowloon station, return tickets, and even a travel pass that includes 3 days of unlimited travel on MTR trains and buses. The travel pass does not work for us, and since we were expecting to travel back from …

Finally some restaurants are putting down their feet to ban kids once and for all. No matter how unfair it may sound to parents, this is actually a very good news for those of us who are not parents. Especially to the couples who have decided not to have any noisy runabout kids in their houses and yet have to go to restaurants full of them. But then again, some may find this …

There's no way that I'm going to pay for the $6 parking fee at Marina Bay Sands, so I parked my car at Marina Square instead. And this gives us the opportunity to walk along the Helix Bridge. After crossing the Helix Bridge, we were greeted by a land of construction and road blocks. We were so confused that we had to ask a passer-by for the way... Me: Aunty, which way do …
