went up the pinnacles @ duxton with hubb, sis, bro in law and miss cute some days back. bro in law has got some1 staying there and he's able to get us free 'tix' to go up. yup, if u are not aware, u gotta pay like $5 to get up to pinnacles unless u have some1 staying there who doesnt mind offering u the pass.
initially i tot it was juz a top floor thingie and juz go up, see see and then back down. but in fact, it's a whole long stretch of road up there and u can walk for quite a while.
the scenary up there is superb. by up there, i mean 50th storey. the wind is great and it's vvvv comfortable and at ease. seriously, it's worth it to pay the $5.
it's impressive for a hdb to be so awesome. it looks juz like a condo! i think those who managed to get a unit there is super lucky. the appreciation of the pty is definitely huge.
there are also sports facitilies up there. like those sports facilites near our hdbs, juz that ours are situated downstairs while here, the facilities are inside the building and upstairs. imagine looking at this scenary while exercising away..... darn shiok lah!
some days later, we realised that hubb's dad also has a fren staying there and we had the chance to go there a 2nd time w/o having to pay. but it was raining that day and we were not able to go outdoors. so, we went kpo at the fren's hse instead. at 30+ floor, cant remb exact which floor liao. it's quite spacious and the windows are those from roof to floor de. the views are great and the price they paid was abt $300k+. think it's worth it lor. prime location, new building, condo like style, supberb views...
it's a good place to visit if u have no idea where to go on a boring wkend. do go and take a look. think the pass can be bought at the kiosk nearby. check out the web!

ok, this is kindda outdated as the competition already ended probably 2 or 3wks back. but in any case, this yr we were the most engaged.
we happened to come across the competition ground on the 1st night of the competition. and for tt night, we waited till 1am for the break time to see how the break time will be like. u know, for every 6hrs, the participants will get a 5mins break.. so we really want to see how that 5 mins will be spent...
and then for the subsequent days, we went back everyday after work to see who's in and who's out and whether the person we have in mind is still in the competition or not. bo liao, arent we?
seriously, this is a sicko game. u stand there rain or shine with ur hand intact on the print that u are allocated.. and then for every 6 hrs, there's only a pathetic 5mins break for u to pee/poo (probably not enuff time to poo thou), eat, rest, wash up.. wadever. it's really endurance testing leh!
i wonder how much damage the body went thru for that 3 or 4 days. although after that gruelling 3 or 4days, u get a car that cost $90k+. in other words, in juz 4days, u earn something that many of us could not even earn in a year! mmmm... sounds worthy, arent it?
actually NO! dont be silly! becuz, unless u are the ultimate one winner, YOU ARE BOUND TO LOSE!
after standing for few days not sleeping/pooing/bathing/get proper meals/suffer rain and shine, all u get is a goodie bag and NOTHING else!
so tell me, is it worth it or not?
it's worth it if u can turn out to be the last winner. but most often than not, it's really not up to u to control. u know how u can juz doze off when u get real tired rite??
but then again... there's really no way to know if u will be the ultimate winner ...... until u try.
and so, out of 400 participants, only 1 will win. effectively u stand a 1/400 chance. if u are gungho enuff and 0.25% to u is good chance, do start praticising now, and probably take part nxt yr. $90k in juz 4 days is real good money. and do inform me. i'll sure be there to support!! :)
