The Tan Tans' Life Begins

Time passes in a jiffy. It's been more than a month since the Tan Tans got married. It's gonna be month after month of changes as we relocate to Japan in a few days' time. We may be there for only one year, or longer if things pan out well. Our first jumbo box was shipped over the weekend - and a couple more will follow this coming weekend, just before we get onto the jetplane. Right now we're still packing, it's kind of challenging coz SQ has a pathetic baggage allowance of only 20kg. I think this can be considered a sabbatical for both of us, as we take a pause in life to smell the roses. We want to do the things we've always wanted to do, but were too busy for. Talk about the typical Singaporean who has practically no time for nourishing his/her soul!

However, the inefficiency of the processing counter in Singapore and the open bribery of the guard in Malaysia resulted in an hour long wait for the boat ride back to Singapore. hmmm.. Well, lucky it was a partially paid-for trip with my current boss paying for the food and drinks (inclusive of seafood, lobster and durians). THANK YOU BOSS! (Guess what, he was quoted in today's StraitsTime on Safe Deposit Boxes) We had lunch at "Good Luck" seafood which I would say was so-so other than lobster and the wild boar that was fabulous. The kids certainly add to the fun of the group. The feast of durians and other fruits. The grouchy aunt who became very very friendly after a while. The durians was great with yellow flesh a...

Hi all, Please do not be shocked to see the image below; I was not involved in any accident nor was I down with any major illness... it was just a sleep test that I went to.. the reason for that.. my ex-girlfriend (now Mrs Tan Tan) says that I snore loudly in my sleep. . Well, I was having not feeling too well sometime the month earlier, took the opportunity to go to the polyclinic and at the same time, reported this noisy problem of mine . referral was made and last friday, I was checked into a delux air-con suite with en-suite bathroom and a 42 inch plasma hanging over me. . . .cool.. first time I stay in hospital with such a "high-class" room. But sooner than I know, I was wired up. . it was explained that all these cables sticking out of me are meant to monitor my sleep and muscle movement.. now come the question! IN AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO SLEEP? WITH ALL THESE WIRES STICKING ON YOU, SLEEP? hmmmmm and the toilet for the night... no big dump... can only ...
