Took this picture earlier today with Geoffrey's camera at work.

Marina @ Keppel Bay

Privé

Just came back from work at Privé. Nice friendly staff. Nice environment. Some nice customers. But the menu, its going to take me awhile to remember everything. My body is aching right now. Its been awhile since Ive been a waiter. But if all goes well, I see myself working there after ORD. But still, I love photography. I want to be a photo journalist. Well, you always need a plan B right?
BTW, if I do have time, I'll try to upload some pictures I took at my new work place. If you guys ever watch movies and they have ship yards for boats. You know, the one where they park their fancy fishing boat, I think its called a dock. Well the bar that I work at, its facing THAT. Privé @ marina @ keppel bay. Fantastic I tell you. Nice romantic place. There are couple seats that face the waterfront. A nice place for lovers. OK, enough of that. Sleep time. NIGHT!

16 Weeks To ORD!

If you do notice, I have not cycled for a fair bit of time. My last off duties were used up for IT show and sleeping. Also not forgetting the interview I had with Prive Bar. Going to work there as a part time basis. Im sill waiting for a call from from Faeez regarding the job as a malay wedding videographer. Although I found out that he is not paying much, I don't mind taking up the job for portfolio purpose, and not forgetting, some extra income for savings. Jon has yet to send me the details for the yearbook I'm doing for him. Hope that I will get it soon so that I can complete it a.s.a.p and not have a big headache on the last minute. Im worrying now the fact that I have to juggle all this jobs around including NS that I'm doing now. 16 more weeks and counting! ORD OHhh!

WWII Bomb Relic Discovered

By Liew Hanqing

POLICE and soldiers were roaming the area. And traffic was diverted. Another drill? No.

A World War II relic had been found at a construction site near the junction of Clementi Road and Commonwealth Avenue West on Monday evening, and the police weren't taking any chances.

Traffic was diverted from the vicinity to facilitate operations to detonate it.

Nan Hua High School, which is just next to the construction site, decided to ask the students to leave early as a precaution.

Students Zen Young and Quek Hou Joo, both 13, told The New Paper that they were alerted when an announcement was made over the public address system.

Said Hou Joo: 'The teachers told us that something serious had happened and that we were to go home immediately.'

Zen added his first thought was whether it could have been a bomb threat.

'I wasn't really scared, more like excited. Of course, we got to go home a bit earlier,' he said.

On the road, a couple on their way home from the airport were stuck in a massive traffic jam near Commonwealth.

When Mr Gary Lim, 36, approached his block at Commonwealth Avenue West, he saw a row of police vehicles.

'I thought a minor crime had been committed,' said Mr Lim, a financial adviser.

A long-time resident of the estate, a retiree who wanted to be known as Mr Foo, 68, said he wasn't too concerned when police officers started showing up at the estate on Monday evening.

He added that even when he left home yesterday morning, there weren't many police officers around.

'But I was slightly worried when more police officers appeared in the evening, together with the soldiers,' he said.

Heard from neighbours

He had heard from neighbours that a bomb had been discovered at the construction site.

A retiree who only wanted to be known as Mr Loh, 70, had been following the action keenly from his 25th-storey flat, which has a good view of the construction site.

At about 5.35pm yesterday, he was jolted by a loud 'boom'. He recalled: 'There was some black smoke coming up from below a pile of sandbags.

'The sandbags were still intact, so it doesn't look like the explosion was big.'

A police spokesman said the war relic was detonated at 5.35pm yesterday and that all traffic diversions were lifted.

The spokesman added that police were notified at 5.50pm on Monday evening that the relic had been found at the site, but advised the public not to be alarmed.

Cycling Diary

From now on, I'm going to keep a record of my cycling distance daily. You can find it on the left of my blog. This should make me keep track of the total distance I cycle in a week.
