These days I am addicted to taking pictures of what my friends’ surrounding working environments look like. Like my sister’s and mine. I find it odd that I think I know that someone so much but have no clue what he or her daily life is like. The picture you see here was taken when Cynthia and I visited our good buddy TK. At a location far far away from where we live, from where we work. For those who are new to Singapore, Jurong is at the west side of the island. An industrial area that many International and local companies set up their headquarters at. Cynthia once worked for a pharmaceutical client at Jurong, near where TK’s office is; I once worked for clients inside the military bases at Jurong. Our little road trip to TK’s office did bring back sweet memories.
My holiday started from Good Friday till today. Initially wanted to go for a short road trip to Malaysia. But since the first half of the holiday has been devoted to Church and Masses (it’s a Holy period after all) and our band, and Tuesday is our Spanish class, we have decided to stay in town. Watch a movie, discovered a peranakan restaurant near our home, and play our online game.
Play our online game? It is probably hard for some of you to relate. Let’s just say, it is good for couples to spend time solving non-real life puzzles together, strategizing the game tactics, laugh and cry at some bizarre moments inside the game, and for better or worse, just spend time with each other. We love to play World of Warcraft. And now we got our friend Darkspore back into the game too. Ha! Note to Darkspore: For the Horde first … and we can For the Alliance later.
All things in moderation, I wish I could say to same for my recent obsession in ripping my music collection into a lossless format. Ever since I have bought a network attached server at the IT Show last month, I have been ripping CDs non-stop. Day after day, night after night. I still have much to go. But right now, I am partially enjoying the fruit of my effort with my digital jukebox finally arrived from US. And that was one of the reasons why we visited our friend TK at Jurong yesterday. To collect the shipment.
A lovely quiet six days of holiday. Back to office tomorrow for 2 days, and then the weekend.

hmm, fisheye lens or some fancy photo shop effect?
Jurong does brings back some memory… depoly there very often in my army days… other than army and some dusty industry, nothing much is there…
Ng – Yo. As the watermark says, it is taken using my Nokia phone. No fisheye lens. No fancy effect either. Just standard Nikon software function on distortion correction, which in my case, I took an artistic approach to take it to the extreme.
I need a break too! I know of a guy in office who plays WoW with his girlfriend on a Taiwanese server. It is good for couples to share some common interests.
Darkspore – Absolutely. We need new blood. Please recruit your wife. We will then have a designated healer in our group!
Wil- Not bad ah… nowaday camera phone also very powerful…
Mine also have all these funny funny mode on my phone by i rarely use them. Not very nice for mine one la
Ng – No lah … it is the Nikon software effect 🙂
