Like Blogger's new iPhone app. Let's me update anywhere I go! :-D now I'm at The Fullerton attending my cousin's wedding dinner with my parents and grandparents :-D

Food's really awesome! And the environment's great. However I suspect the Ballroom I'm in now used to be a carpark. Hmmm.

Oh anyways, groom's suave, bride's beautiful (: groom's a lawyer and the bride's still furthering studies from Business discipline to a Law one. Seems like the perfect match for each other! Wish for them to stay together forever! :-D

Went by 1 stall in Bugis St, uncle seemed Bo-chup and didn't get much info from him other than that he only wants big stacks of old notes such ad in stacks of 100 pieces -.-

Then we headed to Fu Lu Shou Complex, named as such due to the painting of the 3 iconic Chinese deities on one of the walls on the external facade. Managed to find that one shop dealing with fengshui stuffs and old currencies.

And they had this display cabinet outside the shop's entrance and they had one whole intact piece of $10 current Singapore currency as the 'wallpaper'!! New from Singapore Mint and uncut! :-D woah that was an eye-opener for me. Sth new (: okay I abit suaku la hor. Haha

China guy served us first but later, an uncle who seemed like the boss, came out and served us. And he was really friendly and honest! :-D

He took a look at Ain's notes and gave his advice on these notes. He advised her to keep the $5 'Bird' Series notes as it will only gain more value ad years go by, especially after the current 'Portrait' Series, or also known by some as the Yusof bin Ishak Series.

The uncle said that each of our current Singapore currency usually will discontinue after 12 years and the 'Portrait' Series was introduced in 1999, which makes it exactly 12 years this year! :-D

woohoo! Can't wait for the new series of notes!! :-D

Can't find a similarity between them? Well I'm referring to Singapore currencies! Been a mini collector all the while but never had the opportunities and finances to better my collection :-/

My little passion for this was reignited when I acc Ain to sell off her old Singapore banknotes. She had a stack of 20 of the blue $1 'Boat' Series in sequential order; 3 pieces of the $5 'Bird' Series and 2 or 3 pieces of the $10 'Boat' Series.

MY BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN :D BIG 21ST YO :D

♥ 4:02 AM

Yeah i'm back to volunteering for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore again! :D



After a 2-year hiatus, I'm volunteering once again for this major iconic StanChart marathon event. I had volunteered as Baggage Crew in 2007 with TPSU, then as Route Marshall in 2008 with BSC (: those were the days...



Now i'm back after my friend Kenneth roped me in. SCSM2011 needed a lot of volunteers and volunteer leaders. Thus thru him, Ain and I volunteered for the position of 'Key Junction Supervisor' and we got it! :D haha we had to go thru a phone interview of course.



Then last Saturday, 1st October we 3 went thru a Service Excellence Course, which is very similar to what i learnt in ITE, Service Excellence (SVE). We went to this APEX Building under the Singapore Sports Council at Kallang, nearest to Mountbatten MRT Station. It rained crazily that Ain and I wasted too much time waiting for a cab. Then the rain lessened much, so we decided to walk across to the building, a simple 1-level airconditioned (heng ah) place :D



needless to say, it was boring. but they provided biscuits and water :D so it was cool. HAHA



we have 3 more key sessions to attend before the main event in Dec 4 2011.



Key Junction Leaders Briefing and Site Recce @ RP on 22 Oct [ MY BIRTHDAY ): ]

Key Junction Briefing @ RP on 5 Nov [gotta be there 45mins earlier to help take attendance]

Final Ops Briefing on 19 Nov with location unknown :-/



But i'm looking forward to an exciting Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore volunteering experience!! :D

Govt. says they will lower the limit of new vehicular growth in Singapore from next year. This will definitely increase the prices of new cars in the future ad the number of new cars available decreases.

It's now 1.5% of cars produced, down from 3% in pre-2009 years. However, the govt. says zero growth is not possible. We'll see what happens in the future.

Like what my friend said, in the future, a Chery QQ might cost what a Cefiro costs now and a Sunny might cost what a Lexus cost now
