Universal Studio Singapore

We had our second family vacation of the year couple of weeks ago. This time, we went to Singapore. Part of our itinerary was to go to Universal Studio for a day. S$66 per person was really a good deal. It's free entrance for any child below 3 years old.


Hollywood was the first attraction. My son posed on a popcorn car.


Next attraction was Madagascar. Can you spot the plane on the tree 8-)


Far Far Away Land. Shrek's froggy father-in-law's castle!


My son had slept halfway through. The Donkey Live show and the 4D movie were marvelous in this attraction. We enjoyed them thoroughly.


Lunch in this place called Mel's Drive-in.


My makan tengah hari. Yummy.

There were other attractions like the Lost World, Egypt, Jurassic Park, New York and Sci-Fi. But let's not spoil the fun shall we? Do come to Universal Studio Singapore!


We left the place around 6pm. My last picture in Universal Studio. Oohh La La...

Cuti Tanpa Gaji

I sent in my Cuti Tanpa Gaji Ikut Pasangan yesterday. My Head of Department brought me to see our Hospital's Director, Dr. Chin. We discussed of possibility for me to be transferred to Kuching but I had tried several times with persons in charge in Kuching with no success. It's hard for my wife to be all alone in Cats' City without our baby by her side. The result of our meeting was that I needed another official form and documents to complete my application before being sent to Headquater (Kuching) for consideration. I'm asking for 39 months of no pay leave. I am required to send in the application at least 3 months before I can start taking leave.



From the days when I used to earn six figure salary annually to measly sum that I earn in 2010 to zero ringgit. It's difficult but for the sake of family togetherness, I have to do it.

Stay at home dad

I had read the Malaysian Government's circular entitled "PEKELILING PERKHIDMATAN BILANGAN 29 TAHUN 2009 - CUTI TANPA GAJI BAGI PEGAWAI YANG MENGIKUT PASANGAN BERTUGAS ATAU BERKURSUS DI DALAM ATAU DI LUAR NEGERI" several times. I enquired about my unpaid leave today with the Administration people and my Head of Department. It's been a nagging issue for me. It's almost official that I'm becoming a Stay at Home Dad next year. These minority group of people numbered couple of thousands men can be found in Singapore. I'm not sure about these Stay At Home Dads (SAHD) in Malaysia.



My wife supports my idea. So do I. It's a big decision to be made. But we pray that it's part of God's plan.

Kursus Induksi Bil. 10/2010 Sarawak

Today marks the end of my first year's job as a Pegawai Sains. My induction course just concluded end of last week. Given the chance, I'll never go for another one. Too many sleepless nights. Stress, fatigue, anxiety, I'd been through them all. The only consolation probably would be being in the company of many new friends around me.
