3 cycles and elevator story

Well I completed 3 cycles today and looking forward to more. I am blessed with a wonderful family and great friends. For that I am extremely thankful. The past year has been kinda taxing especially with the loss of loved ones. Certainly made me appreciate my loved ones so much more. In any case, my best wishes to all and have a safe and fruitful year end holidays!

On a more random note, I was thinking about how elevator buttons work. You know how some people always depress the buttons again and again with hope that the lift would somehow speed up and arrive quicker? What if back in the past when they invented the elevator (and subsequently, the elevator call button), pressing the button when it's activated/lit up simply deactivates the button and cancels the command request for the lift? That means, press once, and the lift will come. Press it again before the lift comes, and the request for the lift is cancelled.

This certainly puts paid to any movie scene where the damsel in distress frantically presses and bangs on the elevator buttons while being chased by the murderer/ghost/monster!

Since my last blog...

Happy 2008! May it be a fruitful and healthy year for you all! Well, certainly 2007 ended with a bang for me...

Click on the thumbnails below for full reports and galleries...

First off, JLC officially launched their Master Compressor Diver watches at Luna Bar.




And talking about divers, we also saw Bell & Ross new BR02 diver watches... lovely stuff (plus some new BR03s and popular BR01s) at Cova Restaurant, Midvalley Gardens. Am craving that black professional BR02 that's reminiscent of a 70s Seiko diver.




The year end is also the time when I celebrate my birthday... so a ton of wonderful gifts from so many valued friends (not to mention gifts I buy for myself hahaha).

There were at least 3 pairs of sneakers that snuck in...

Nike Cortez Deluxe O '06




Onitsuka Tiger Mini Clubman




Converse Jack Purcell




Gorgeous leather products...

From LV




From Braun Buffel




From Caran d'Ache




Got a glorious watch winder (by Wolf Designs)!




And even got some other really thoughtful and cherished gifts from my good friends including books, t-shirts, booze and toiletries :)













Had a smashing birthday party (with the ALL WHITE dress code) at The Attic :)

Here's a shot of me with my 2nd Flaming Lambo for the night *hic*




Also spent some interesting times at KY's Xmas party causing mayhem with bacon bakkua.

Again, thank you to all of my friends for a wonderful 2007 and all the amazing gifts and camaraderie to fuel me and keep me going for 2008 :)
