House

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Last weekend I was invited to a friend house for house warming. She just moved in after all the renovation recently and pretty excited about her new home.

I really like her kitchen cabinet and living room designs. She even has a cabinet to store all her recent wedding gifts which look pretty lovely. There’s also a guest room which is fully furnished as well. I sure hope I can afford to have house this nice in the future too.
Overall it was a pretty cool house warming party with all the close friends attending it.

Distance

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

It was a pleasant surprise to get the response from my uncle in London and aunt in Singapore after all this years. I mean we seldom get in touch with each other over the years and have never been close with them.

As I got their numbers and have been recently visiting my aunt in Singapore, I texted her to wish her CNY greetings. I was elated to get her response late evening yesterday. My uncle also replied that he’ll see us soon, is he coming to M’sia again? I remembered the last time he came, he brought a box of White Owl cigars for my father.Well, hope I would not miss him if he drops again.  Sometimes soon, I hope!

Laptop

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

This time round, I didn’t bring my laptop back to hometown for the long break. But guess what, I am still able to surf net and watch movies on lappy as my brother got an extra laptop this year and USB modem. All I have to bring back is my harddisk with all my movies and stuffs.

And the best thing is I am able to check my emails regularly so that it would not be spam as usual long holidays with all those junk emails and free insurance quotes.

CNY

My parents were discussing about an uncle of mine with my cousins today, when they came over for visiting. They were talking about my uncle who is a bit sickish of late due to many diseases; probably due to his highly sinful food intakes for the past many years.

I guess someday we are to pay for the food that we take especially when we are younger & stronger. My father seems to be wise and healthy when discussing it but it upset me a little when he took 3 chicken wings shortly after he left. One minute he was preaching about how to reduce stomach fat and the next minute he was walloping all the sinful stuffs in not too little portion.

I think I am overly concern about his health and I am just too worried that anything might happen to him. =(

Relatives

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Chinese New Year, always come a little too frequently or so I felt although it is just once a year. Maybe it is always the beginning of the year, which makes the presence a little too strong and a little too fast.

It is time to meet the relatives again and every year, I am surprised to see how fast the kids grow. The little toddler cousin is now 10 years old! The three children are now in their teen and college years and one even spoke about best seo software.

And of course, the elders are growing old as well. Another year..

Regime

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I am always a lazy person when it comes to skin care and beauty regime. And even my brother was so much better at me, looking at his skincare regime that he does every day or every week.He got himself a white egg masque yesterday that supposedly good in get rid of blackheads. I tried using it yesterday and well, don’t really observe any difference. Maybe I need more blackhead? Anyway, I am just happy of the many samples of bb cream that I got through his purchases yesterday. =)

CNY Shopping~

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

A day before the Chinese New Year, my parents, brother and I went for a last minute shopping trip at the New Jaya Jusco. We shopped for an 6 hours straight.

My brother was in a very generous mood and splurged at the skincare shop; buying some essence and organic face cream for my mother and some masque for himself. My father got a new pair of pants and shoes while I got myself 3 tops.

Indeed a nice shopping trip with family. =)

Long Lost Colleague

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

The other day as I was in the LRT on the way to work, I stood in front of the seats. Little did I realise that the lady who sat there was my ex-colleague whom I haven’t met for years! We chatted and caught up with each other.

She was in the midst of job search but unfortunately none of the open positions in my company suited her. Well, after Chinese New Year would be a great time to find for a new job as many would leave after getting the bonus.

Well, good luck to her and it’s a nice surprise to meet each other again. :)

Download

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

There is this new trainee in friend’s office and she is quite ignorant in a lot of IT knowledge. Thus, they do not know what task to assign to her. Finally, the supervisor gave her a task to download all the pages in a tutorial websites! 

There are more than hundred of pages and she painstakingly taking days to download every single page! The poor girl!

She could have easily downloaded the whole web directory using website downloader that only needs a click to copy website that includes all the pages, images, sounds and video! If the download is interrupted, it could easily be continued.

CNY

Now is probably the time to start counting down to Chinese New Year. As a child, it used to be a very happy and much look forwarded event. But I guess the spirit isn’t as strong as it used to be for the past ten years or so. Aging seems to make everything seems less exciting, or is it just me?

Anyway, just need to get ready and hope this year would be a good one. Packing my stuffs a couple of days before going back, ensure that I bring everything including the cla results.And so 6 days to go!
