Celebrated Li Xiang’s birthday with a stay at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) on Friday. We book pretty early and chose the Rise & Shine Package which includes 1 night stay and breakfast at Rise Cafe for two. Paid SGD$389 (SGD$457.85 after tax).

It is pretty expensive but I say it is totally worth it! Considering we paid SGD$270 for our 6th anniversary stay at Scarlet Hotel which has nothing and the room is much smaller and lack any window view. I would say MBS is not too expensive.

Night View At The Skypark Observer Deck

We spend most of our time swimming and sunbathing at the Infinity Pool at the Sky Park. The Infinity Pool at night looks gorgeous as well but unfortunately we only went up to take pictures as we are heading to another location for dinner. I guess we will be back at MBS again for the night view at the Infinity Pool!

Dinner was at Nueva Cuba located at Customs House. I was at Nueva last week for a The Open Room: “Your Blog Here” session with Luca Penati organized by Ogilvy and was impressed with the quality of the food and drinks there. So I decided to recommend it to Li Xiang! While you are there, try the Grilled Sirloin Steak!

It is our 6th anniversary! We celebrated by having a night stay at The Scarlet Hotel. On the way to the hotel, we bought Koi Bubble tea since our bus stop right outside the stall.

After checking in, we watched Toy Story 3, it was good. I think this third installment is better than the first and second one.

We went to the gym later. The gym is small and we are the only one in the gym. There is no swimming pool here just a small Jacuzzi and similar to the gym, there was no one else using the Jacuzzi besides us. I like the way they name the room. The gym is called Flaunt and the Jacuzzi is called Soda.

We wanted to have our dinner at Breeze @ Scarlet but the weather looks like it is going to rain and hence we went to Outback at Millenia Walk for dinner instead.

After dinner went for a drink at Bold @ Scarlet as we got complimentary jug of house pour and 12 sticks of chicken satay. We chose Vodka Lime for our house pour and it was pretty diluted.

As part of our 1 Nights 2 DaysZED package, we have 2 complimentary tickets to Zouk but we did not want to go because it is kinda out of the way.

Breakfast was at Desire @ Scarlet. Food was alright but choices are very limited.

We paid SGD$230++ which sums up to about SGD$270 for the 1 Nights 2 DaysZED package. This promotion end on 31st December 2010.

The Social Network (IMDB) (Wiki) is essentially a movie about how Facebook got started by Mark Zuckerberg in his Harvard Dormitory room.

I doubt some parts of the story is true like Mark owned 51% of Facebook but actually he owns 24% of it. But perhaps things change over the years.

Some parts are true like how Sean Parker the co-founder of Napster is involved in Facebook, Harvard Connection, etc.

I wonder does Mark Zuckerberg Facebook namecard really says “I am a CEO, bitch”.

Bill Gates does a cameo in the movie talking about BASIC but it was not actually him but the no. 1 Bill Gates impersonator in the world. However the voice is real.

The computer OS used in the movie is Linux and not Windows or Mac. Some technical jargons were used in the movie like Apache Config, PHP, Perl, WGET, EMAC, etc.

The Social Network Poster

Overall it is a pretty good movie, I strongly recommend you to catch it.

PS: Mark Zuckerberg is born in the same year as me (1984) and so is Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress. Mark is worth USD$6.9 billion which makes him the world’s youngest billionaire!

The Finance Admin of Li Xiang’s freelance job contacted her saying that here OCBC Account number is invalid. She said the account number suppose to have 9 digits (excluding first 3 digit branch code and dashes) whereas her’s only have 7. I checked mine and mine also have 7 digits only. Both of us were puzzled.

I did asked around in Facebook and Twitter and it seems all the people who replied to me have 9 digits on their OCBC Account Number. At first I thought we got our account very early (more than 10 years ago) and hence the lesser number of digits but apparently it is not.

I dropped OCBC an email and they replied within 24 hours!

Format BBB – C – NNNNNN (7 digits) is used only for Savings account.
Format BBB – NNNNNN – 001 (9 digits) is used for Current / EasiSave / Moi / Personal Line / Statement Savings / MoneyMax / EasiCredit account.

• BBB = Branch Code (the first 3 digits on your account number)
• Number of digits exclude first 3 digits, dashes and spaces
