CONRAD CENTENNIAL HOTEL

Two night stay from 7th to 9th Dec 08 after our wedding on the 6th. Complimentary Christmas Conrad Bear, chocolate and fruit was part of the hotel stay. A pair of Wedding Conrad Bear was delivered to our room after the front office staff knew we were newly wed the day before and even gave us a better room with a great view.

House Hunting

Yesterday we spent a few hours to look around Serangoon and kovan area for a suitable house for ourself. Went to one corner terrace in Serangoon Gardens, where ZY tripped upon entry while I stepped into a drain, bad place haha. Next went to Lange 28, nice new cluster home with ID done up going for $1,150,000. While at Sovereign and The Top at Simon Place (behind Kovan MRT), both going at $1,350,000(both about 2650 Sq ft). Last at Daisy Ave for $1,600,000. Went to see two terrace home at Jalan Kayu and YCK Road, Going for about $1.7 Mil. Too far and no money to buy. haha...

Considering the Lange 28 one which could be offered at $1mil while at The Top for $1.15mil. Will wait and see how much more the Private Property will crash in the next quarter. Concurrently looking for a HDB at Serangoon area only. Hmm. 5 Room at about $400k and Mansionette at a high of $500k...will wait and see for a good buy...after CNY will be more appropriate.

Edwin's Code of Conduct

Past Glory and Success you have done are Good and will be remembered.

Living on Past Glory and Success will buy you some time.

Over Glorify your Past Success will make you stagnate.

Continue with that Attitude, will prevent you from having new Glory and Success.

Not changing that Attitude, you will no longer be making History but become a HISTORY yourself!

Everyone is given a fair chance (be it BIG or small), it's how you embrace and make it a successful story for oneself.

Old Chang Kee & MM Lee Guidelines

"THE DAY
you can't adjust and change,
That Day,
you begin to shrivel and die...that's all.

THE DAY
I'm unable to learn new things,
I'm out of touch with the world,
then I'm useless."

Policy & Doctrine - My Own Working Guidelines

1. Policy-making to be made more real as I am dealing with People affected by them.
2. Make me more aware of the need to listen to People and to communicate clearly and directly without sounding overly defensive of the policies or being high-handed.
3. But please take note when dealing with ignorance People who know nuts but just want to make things difficult for all.
4. Constantly try to educate them!
5. Using the 90/10 followed by the 5/5 grouping.

• 90% will understand and agreed while 10% will disagree with the initial change
• then work on the 10% which another 5% will eventually understand and you get 95%.
• forget about the last 5% as they either really have a better idea which I hope or just hopelessly in another world of their own.

Lastly, you might as well use your time and energy to follow up with the 95% who agreed with you and then further enhance your policy based on their feedback; instead of spending it on the 5% and neglect your 95%.

Towards a New Future

Collected our new spectacles yesterday at Yi Specs @ Punggol Plaza. Zhenyuan's a pair of Shiny Dark Red while mine is Shiny Gun Metal Color pair. Both are half frame with 1.67 thin Plastic Lens. Bought it for her Birthday and Christmas present. Got a good deal again as a regular customer, would have cost us $700 for both pairs but paid only $500 instead. Now We're both looking forward a new horizon through a new pair of "sight" on us. HA HA!
