- Poker games (blackjack, dai di, and all other games that can be played with cards. wahahha.)

Critical Matters:

JOIN THE HOT WHEELS CLUB CAMPAIGN!!
this is our weekly reward!haha (and edwin just got his new set of blades!)

someone sent this to me, thought it was really funny, enjoy!

Article --- Marry an auditor !? You'll find it funny (only if you have
some accounting background / concept)

I have a professional woman as my wife; a Chartered Accountant. She uses
LIFO method while taking out the refrigerated food.

She thinks I am no good with numbers. Fine with me, for now she handles the
budget of the house. Initially she used to send me a bill at the month end,
but when I told her that I am not her client but her husband, she asks for
the money in advance. The expenses had been rising steadily over the
months, so one day I snooped into the papers maintained in a current file.

No wonder! She was charging mileage and overtime to the house budget. She
is crazy, I tell her but she corrects me. No honey, I am the auditor. I
fail to see the light.

Every scrap of the paper in our house is filed. She tells me as per some
Ordinance she must keep a copy of every thing for at least ten years before
destroying it. I am worried.

The other day we had an hour-long fight. Later, I got to know that she had
charged that hour to a client of hers, in the time sheet. My time was put
down as unoccupied.

She says that she loves me and I tell her that I love her too. However, she
never believes me. She says that there is susceptibility of it being a
misstatement. Duh! She wants my representation on this!

Last year our house accounts got a qualified opinion I had not kept the
supporting etc. of my purchases. Not a long time back my brother's wedding
was to be solemnized. Wedding cards had been sent.

After some time I started receiving a steady trickle of letters. I was
puzzled until my wife explained that external evidence was more reliable.
She had called for confirmations from all those to whom cards were sent.

When she cooks: my wife at times does not go by recipe. Where the recipe
says add half-teaspoon vinegar, one tsp black salt or one teacup of water,
she ignores them. She says that they are not material when taken in context
of whole meal being prepared.

She is crazy, I tell you. Surprisingly everybody calls her an auditor,
instead. I checked the dictionary and it did not state that auditor is a
synonym for crazy. The dictionary must be outdated.

When we got married, she had given me an Engagement Letter and I had said
how cute-how sweet. Now she gives it to me every year saying that her
standards state that it must be sent a new if there is any indication that
I have misunderstood the objective and scope of engagement. Huh!

Apart from sending me the engagement letter once again she says I can't get
rid of her just like that. She says that she has the right of being heard
before I appoint some one else.

Phew! For a minute, I thought that we had jeopardized our going concern
status. Duh! Dare I say so??

I am told by one of my female colleagues who is married to a CA that the
scenario is even worse when the guy is a CA. Apparently he capitalized the
wedding expenses as preliminary expenses and is writing it off every year.
Also the time he spent dating his wife before marrying her is still under
consideration for valuation... valuation of intangible assets.

So guys please think twice....should u really marry a CA? and yes please
discount it by the appropriate rate to arrive at the present value of the
risk of doing so !!!!!!!

photos galore!

WOOT!

2006-12-03T19:41:00.000+08:00

Step: To ensure that the run has all the fun they can before peak.
Work Done: Kenny Rogers @ Suntec, Chinaone @ Clarke Quay, K-Box @ Marina, Shopping, Timbre, Mahjong, Balestier Bah Kut Teh, prissie's place. To be followed up next week.

First up, we had dinner at Kenny Rogers, Suntec on fri. Had a hard time getting someone to take a picture for us..For those who attended, you guys know why..After which, we were supposed to head to "Paulana"--> according to Mr Aaron Lim! haha..It was too packed, so we cabbed down to Chinaone instead. There's live band there and cosy furniture to make you feel at home. Nice chilling place! BUT..we underwent torture! haha..coz Wanjun Biao Mei ordered dirty martini that tastes like seawater. In order to help her make her money's worth, we decided to play zhong ji mi ma to finsh up the drink. In the end, poor prissie finished most of the drink!haha..

We met for K-box on Sat morning. Thanks for organising, OZK! Had fun singing, if you were to minus off OZK's high pitch mimicking. haha..KTV was followed by shopping and chilling out and Timbre after that. That place was marvellous! with the oh-so-powerful live band! This should be our frequent run hangout man!

And prissie wasn't exaggerating man. We finished all the bah kut teh stuff within 10 mins! Check this out man!

haha..the bah kut teh was damn gd man! Uncle, zai lai liang wan! haha..Headed down to prissie's house for tong xiao mahjong. Ended at 8 plus, reached home at 9 plus and I just woke up! :)

2006-12-03T15:13:00.000+08:00

Hey all!this, as usual was a fun weekend filled with activities..K-lunch,picnic-ing at the big steps of marina square, shopping, dinner, chill out, mj, what have u..haha

Some of us went to timbre to chill out (the band from walas is fantastic, ought to check it out). We were supposed to rush for mj after, but being the gluttons we were, we chionged to eat bak kut teh at balestier (superb stuff, ought to check out as well), reached there at 12:30am and cleaned out 3 bowls of rice, vege, bak kut, and dir kar by 12:40!haha

Well anyway, those are not the highlights of today's entry. At 7:30 am (after 6 hours of mj straight), a strange happening occurred..

Someone actually 'ponged' this and tried to get away with it by acting blur!!guess who!! stay tuned for the next post to find out!haha

The weather is getting cold ~

2006-11-15T21:08:00.000+08:00

The weather recently have taken a change, showering almost everyday. It is getting quite cold and some of us have came down with flu. Both my daughters have also caught the flu bug. It pains my heart when I see them suffering because they find it hard to breathe through their blocked nose. It makes my day when I come home to see that my princesses are recovering well. What makes your day on a rainy day? For some of us, a hot cup of Milo will be perfect and heart warming! Given the right timing at the right place, it is pretty romantic. It is just like a scene out of a movie, where you are drenched to your socks in the rain and someone comes along with an umbrella and a hot chocolate to warm you up. For some, Milo will do the job.....

Help Wanted!!!
