Day 3 in Paradise

Two post in a row…that must be some kind of record…someone should seriously pop open the celebration, cause this frequency in blogging should be rewarded. Another lazy day as usual…but who says lazy days are bad…anyway, ‘Heroes’ is only up to season 1 episode 15 here…which baffles me, since like the series aired here on January, and was up to episode 5 when I left for Newcastle in February…strange…maybe it’s a mystery we can get Mulder to solve…you know…I was planning to get some reading done during this break…particularly my mini book project ‘In Cold Blood’…but man, this house has been way way to comfortable…the living room is a definite no no, since the TV is always turned on…I tried reading in the patio, but the chairs were uncomfortable, and my butt just hurt after like 15 minutes…so I tried the living room upstairs…but after like 5 pages…I just dozed off and ended up napping…challenging reading has taken a whole new meaning…boy I can tell you that…

Anyway, I was watching a documentary about the London sewers which was build during the 1850s…part of a 7 series documentary titled ‘7 wonders of the industrial world’, which reminded me of another episode that I watched about the Brooklyn Harbor Bridge…of all the 7 episodes…this one was my favorite…the bridge is truly a modern marvel, the way it was constructed was simply stunning…the amount of detail and lateral thinking involve…it’s a story of passion, perseverance and courage…but above that…it’s a love story…about a wife’s enduring love and unending devotion to her husband …check it out sometime…it has something for everyone…action, romance…you name it.

Home at Last

Yes people…I’m back…‘The P’ is back in town…man…it’s so good to be back…the sights, the sounds, the taste and the smell…everything…it just feels so…eeerrr…home. Well, first thing’s first…I didn’t really plan to blog so soon…I was going to put this off for a bit, however, with Christmas looming, and Sam’s impending return plus the family’s new desktop (which translate to less time for me on the comp)…which is sad, cause I’ll have to relinquish the ‘position of power’…the home office…we have one of those ‘Dr. No’ chairs…which makes me feel very important every time I sit on it…

Anyway, KK is very different now…well, true to nature, the place has once again increased in development after 10 months…the streets are wider and brighter now, and that just in the Damai area, who knows what it the city looks like now (I mean besides the KK folks who have been around for those 10 months that is)…

Anyway, I have to say…mom has again increased her socialite (apologized in advance for calling my mom a socialize…she does very very serious and important stuff) image by driving a new car and spotting a new handphone…seems like all the new things in the house belongs to mom…hahahaha…good one her…and my room is just as comfortable as ever…so much space to roll around…it’s a luxury often taken for granted…specially to those who don’t appreciate the subtle art of sleeping…oh and Astro has a ‘food’ channel…man…think about the potential of this new TV programming...like you can lock up a obese criminal and play make him watch the food channel 24-7…hahahah…

Anyway…here are a few things around the house which I had to archive…

Hot cocoa and some fresh bake chocolate cookies with some Christmas music at the back ground and it would be perfect...ahhahaha, though I wished the family continued the presents under the tree tradition.

I found this picture very interesting...reminds me of the ATP's old 'New Balls Please' campaign when they tried to market some of the up-and coming tennis stars. It's a picture of I guess, the people involved in Sam's company with the marina thing...I was actually very interested in the whole thing...unfortunately I have to confess, I didn't actually read the article, since it was too long and *ahem* boring, plus I only wanted to read the piece on 'Team Sam' rather than all of the other contestants...Look at them man...hahaha, the next generations of young architects in the forefront of the industry...

Man, Sam wasn't kidding when he said Buddy was obese...my gosh she's fat...she's like this huge tub or lard...gigantic ball...kindda like Jubba the Hutt...I don't know if this picture does justice but believe me...she's huge...

The 'Plan' view...hopefully it'll give you a better idea of how big she is...although i still think this picture doesn't do any justice...

This is going to be a great break…although there are tons of stuff I need to do…besides catching up with friends…lots of administration stuff, like renewing my passport, going to the bank…and see a doctor…hahahaha, last time my throat swelled up…the diagnosis was that I’m allergic to KK…so I’’ll need to get medication for that…tough love…

When in Doubt…Go Where The Money Is…

I don’t know how to describe the feeling I have now…I just found out today that I could have earn a considerable more amount of money over the summer…long long story…but all I can say that it was a horrible misunderstanding…oh well, just have to satisfied with what’s on the table on the moment…still $500 a week has a slightly better ring than $375. Shame…Anyway…work has been eeeeerrrr…good I suppose…same old good routines…same old good work…same old good day…same old, same old…So…should I use this time for some sort of reflection……nah……I’ll pass……

Anyway…I found this video by accident…I think it’s really funny…10 bugs to the person who guess what spoof is this…

Oh, did I mention I went down to Canberra for the weekend, with a bunch of people for a Christian conference. It was eeerrr…good (for a lack of a better word)…Anyway, one of the speaker used this video as an illustration or statement…whatever makes more sense…I’ll explain it more perhaps another time…at this point of time…too lazy…think of it as a preview…

P.S…I did a personality test which says that I’m the next Bono…hahahahah…or at least one of the next Bono, depending on how many people actually did the test and got similar results as me…
