Cherry’s Visit

Cherry was in town and i got a suprise call from her when she arrived at the airport. The last two times when she came, i was overseas, so did not manage to meetup.

This is the first time we are actually meeting after working together on webdesign for about 2 years now. She actually contacted me via my website in November 2003 and sent me her CV, we then started to work together from then on via emails.

We went to Blu Jaz for dinner and the place was great, not so expensive, nice environment, central, not crowded. We are planning to bring her to before she goes back.

thepans @ NDP 2005

We manage to get tickets for the Actual Day and how we got the tickets is quite funny. My wife’s company’s HR department had some tickets and wanted to give their staff by lucky draw style, but she replied to ALL in the email braodcast and hence ALL of her company all few hundred of the staff in the organisation now know that she wants tickets. So whent he day came close, someone actually gave her the tickets. Thank God, we thought we will have to see TV this year.

Going into the padang area was quite okay as this time there was only a crowd of around 25,000 not like our national stadium which can take up to 60,000. Pearl remember me telling her that last year’s NDP Preview was going to be our last one at the statium as its going to be torn down.

I’ve seen loads of pictures of NDP 2005 on Flickr so i think i won’t want to put up the standard photos again.
