Caribbean at Keppel Bay

I wanted to blog quite some time back but I did not get the time to...
So it results in a few blogs at 1 go. Haha!

And I have to tell you about Caribbean at Keppel Bay...
See http://www.caribbean.com.sg/ for some ideas.
But the website's pictures just can't represent the real surroundings there.
So you just got to go there if you get the chance to.

I like it very very much because 1 side of the condo area is the SEA.
It is really nice. I feel very relaxed there.
Then there is this part that you can walk out to be nearer to the sea. Really like it.
Perhaps I really miss the seaside and do not get much chance to go to East Coast Park. Then I can't really get to see the sea from Harbourfront.
Looking forward to Vivocity being completed too, cos I believe I can get to see the sea from there easily.

There's quite a lot of empty spaces there.
There are 2 canals/rivers there... It is very hard to describe it. Perhaps the website can help you visualise better.

There are a few pools and 1 main swimming pool.

There is also a super big water fountain.
The view in front of the fountain is very very nice too.

The unit is pretty small. My friend's place was with 2 bedrooms. I did not even notice which level my friend stayed at. Haha! I was busy looking around, out of window, etc.

Think I was just "overwhelmed" with the entire surroundings. It just feels like a resort to me and I felt like I was out of Singapore in the condo area.

Hope that my friend will invite my friends and i to the condo again soon! :D

2 Movies

Movie 1: Sophie Scholl

1. Why would I go watch a show like this?
I thought my Mum would want to watch a more serious show compared to some crappy show. If I have known that "Click" was that nice, I would have watched that instead.

2. So what's good about that show?
It sets me thinking if I would stand for my belief just like Sophie.
She was willing to die for what she believes in, do I dare to do that?
I feel that I am currently not there yet. I do not dare to die for what I believe yet. But yet I somehow know that if I am believing in something and yet not willing to die for it, it is not that strong a belief. My life has to run with a vision that I am willing to die for. Of course, it would be best if I do not have to die that fast! :)

Movie 2: The Devil wears Prada

1. Why did I watch this show?
I think it is nice plus my Mum wants to catch it.

2. What did I enjoy about the show?
The nice looking clothes and people.
I also enjoy seeing simple Andy becoming a pretty Andy. Think it is every girl's dream to look pretty. :)

3. What I do not really agree about?
It doesn't mean that if you wear branded clothes and dress nicely, then you are a "bad" person with bad values. I believe that you can be pretty + attractive and yet be a great person with strong moral values. :)

No, I did not watch 2 movies at 1 shot.
I want to watch "Click" because I heard that it is humorous and yet touching!
Hope I can get to catch it before it gets off the cinemas... :P

Tired at work...

I'm feeling tired.
But also feel a sense of satisfaction as I accomplish quite a bit of work today.


Just feel that work is never ending.

Haha, feel that it is pretty hard to get "praise" for my work which is well-done also.
Cos I do the backend part of webpages. So who gets to see anything?
People might not even know how it works... Haha!
Sometimes I really wish that I can hear something like "Your backend is done so beautifully or efficiently!" when people praise the web designers for their nice looking websites...
What how do they see the code? Especially when not many are technically savvy.

Haha, so how to encourage myself? How about "It is so well-done that no1 notices it."?
That's not bad!
+ 1 more, God sees it.
But somehow I still seek more approval and appreciation leh...

Then my applications can get quite limited when there is lotsa users...
Is it because my code is not efficient enough? Or because I do not get enough resources?
But partly it is the nature of the application like bulletin board bah.

I'm so glad that I survived work without getting sick and taking mc over the last month. :D
