Looks like I was too busy the last few days that I didn't realize it has been more than a week since I last posted here. So let's see...
Che is in Thailand again -- hopefully for the last time -- since last Thursday (or was it Wednesday?) for server reinstallation on the client side (apparently, someone screwed up the servers beyond the point of recovery, such that everything has to be reinstalled from scratch). She should be back later this week.
Dad's birthday last Friday. Had quite a long talk over the phone. Good thing it's a Friday -- everyone could be there for the dinner...well, except us of course!
Geez, still can't get over the fact that the price of rice per kilo is not lower than PHP 35! Also, the gas price soaring PHP50+ per liter! How disappointing... Prices are going up... except salaries! Reminds me of why we went here to work in the first place...
May 19 was also Vesak Day, official Singaporean holiday! So that was an extended three-day weekend for us. Didn't really do much of anything. Just had to catch up on my reading -- been reading Investing for Dummies for a while now. :)
Went to get the exit pass from Lucky Plaza (iRemit). Strange thing is, one single exit pass is only SGD 5.50. A Pinoy colleague went directly to the Philippine Embassy the day before and the single exit pass costs SGD6.00. Sure, not a big deal for some. Question is this: why is it cheaper in Lucky Plaza (think of it as just a branch office) than in Philippine Embassy itself? Oh well, maybe a transition of prices. Whatever. :)
So yeah... I got the exit pass because we're going back to home!!! Hehehe. :) We'll be flying this coming Friday evening. That reminds me... I better fix our agenda for our week-long stay to maximize everything.
That's all for the last week updates and upcoming events! Hehehe :))
