Saxo Bank 25th Anniversary

Having celebrated the 15th and the 20th anniversary, I was looking forward to this for quite awhile.

The 15th was held in Singapore, at One Degree Fifthteen on Sentosa Cove, with only the Singapore Office back then. Singapore was still the only APAC office at the time.

The 20th was held in Cairo, Egypt, at the compound of the Great Pyramids of Giza. This time employees all over the world gathered there. 

The 25th was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the Ledreborg Castle. All employees were flown in as well.

For those of us in Singapore, it was literally a 12hr flight there, a 24hr party non-stop, and then a 12 her flight back. Short yet ultra memorable.

Will post some pictures soon!

The Longest Jog II

Following my supposed longest jog last week, I went one further and soldiered on to the Singapore Sailing Federation HQ. A total of 12+km of pure running in 85mins. I am getting even better!

Accompanying me this time were my Nike tights which were really helpful, even without knee guards.

I ran so long that my handphone ran out of battery from playing PokemonGO and I had to switch the app off just to conserve what was left for my Spotify.

Thank goodness for Sia, Alan Walker, and Selena Gomez for keeping me going.

The Longest Jog


Here's my route. I actually clocked a good 12km at least since I ran from start to almost finish.

The Great Split

Can anyone guess what this is?

My pants split at work today.

Haha.

Further testament to my ever expanding waistline.

Cashflow Worries

Buying a new property has brought a whole new set of problems.

Worrying about paying down the hefty loan.

Worrying about paying paying back what the wifey has had to stump up up front.

Worrying about paying for renovation.

Worrying about paying for furniture.

Worrying about paying rental for the remaining months at my present place.

Worrying about what we will receive from the proceeds of our other property.

Worrying about having to make this year's SRS contribution.

Worrying about saving money every month.

It's no wonder the white hairs are starting to appear.

Children's Biennale & Yayoi Kusama @ National Gallery

Brought the kids to the event at the National Gallery today. What a fantastic event it was for the kids! Really arty-farty, diverse and creative, the various pit stops were interactive and interesting. The place was quite crowded because the school holidays have begun again.

Here's the map and the various stations to complete!

This is the Hello, Future-me letter box.

This was the Homogenizing And Transforming World installation which was about navigating through an immersive labyrinth of glowing orbs that change colour and produce sounds when touched.

This was the Firewalk: A Bridge Of Embers installation, which was a man-made bridge made to look like an infinite abyss. So cool yet scary. The kids really loved it!

This is the famous Yayoi Kusama's The Obliteration Room. Originally pure white, participants are given a sheet of coloured dot stickers to stick anywhere in the room. The kids also enjoyed this one.

This is the Sonnet In Blue installation, a simple maze made of plastic with poems written on them. Meh.

The tree eye!

Was good fun and the kids absolutely tired themselves out.

Visit while you can!
