Dad finally relented!! He’s gonna let me get a dry cabinet!!!
Digi Cabi AD-040
He used to be very against it, cos he didn’t like the idea of another energy guzzler in the house… But in actual fact, dry cabinets don’t use up that much power at all…
Now I just have to decide which model I want and which capacity I need…
Any suggestions??
Reading Nic’s blog made me think back on my experience in Dhaka….
I still remember how the city smelt: the cigarette smoke (most people there smoke a lot), the dust in the air, the exhaust fumes… that’s the bad smells, there were the nice smells too… of Peter’s cooking, of my room…
I still remember the people I met there: Some I like remembering… Others - not so much… None of whom I will mention in this blog… (In case the annoying spammers find their way here too…)
I still remember how I felt there: Excited… Curious… Lonely…
I still remember all my experiences there: Plenty of good - The trips out of Dhaka, the food, the concerts… Plenty of bad - Some of which I will never mention again…
It’s a strange thing being overseas alone… You’ll never know what that’s like till you actually go… And then it’s different for different people… My experience will always and only be mine…
Then again, looking back, there’s a lot of comfort in knowing God was there with me, showing me things I’d never known all my life, teaching me a lesson that I will never ever forget. I now know that I will never be right without Him in my life. I could never go away from Him.
Took me 6 months over there, and another 6 months back here, to learn that…
The saddest friend you’ll ever have is one whom you expect to never keep a promise.
Life in transition
I finally told everyone in my section the news… It was an open secret… Everyone knew… But they were polite enough not to mention it before I did…
News gets around in a small office.
Someone asked me if I would miss what I was doing… I wasn’t sure what to say… I mean, I love working with my actors… I love working with my co-workers… But there’s something about the place that always gets me down. Maybe it’s just not where I’m meant to stay long in… I dunno… It’s just a nagging feeling…
- I will miss my colleagues… I will miss the cavalier chatter around the office… I will miss not needing to sound smart or mature or both… I will miss nagging the director… I will miss dragging my team leader for lunch… I will miss buying chocolate muffins with RC… I will miss the Georges… I will miss hearing PY shouting “paltrow!” across the office… I will miss my temp and his transformers obsession… I will miss lunches with Name Sweat & bunch…
- I will miss my actors… I will miss discussing my love-life with CSP… I will miss suaning EC about his manly voice… I will miss suaning MCS about being rich and famous… I will miss AS and his long emo hair… I will miss CT and hearing all the cool trips she goes for… I will miss MB and her funny stories… I will miss YR even with all the trouble he’s given me… *sigh*
- I will miss the titles I’m working on… I love them both and I wanna see it when they are all done… I will miss listening to the theme songs, very catchy and uplifting…
- I will miss walking around barefoot in office… I will miss stressing about producers’ last minute bombshells… I will miss sneaking my lunch when the big big boss isn’t around… I will miss the toilet key hunts… I will miss wearing jeans to work…
I’m not regretting or anything… I’m really excited about where I’m going… But well, I didn’t realize till now that there was so much to look back on…
Wenyinyin has become a real terror in the family…
She’s grumpy whenever she’s in a strange house. She cries even with her mother around. She frowns and pouts at food she doesn’t like, and she screams… It’s hard to please her… Though she likes listening to live guitar music (which is basically me playing for a long time)…
But then she makes it really worthwhile…
Cos last weekend, while I was playing the guitar, she started climbing towards the guitar until she could touch it, then she placed her little hands on it, intrigued by the sounds coming from it. And she smiled!
Heartmelting
She’s a li’l guitarist in the making!
A huge swarm of bees flew by my mango tree one day and decided that they were going to live there…
See the black patch on the tree?
It’s the bees!
It was rather intriguing cos they weren’t stuck on the trunk at all, just hanging from one branch, all of them climbing on top of another. I spent that morning spying on them with a pair binos (while getting the chills up my spine…)
The exterminator finally came by to clean it up…
He wore a funny spaceman suit and had me and my neighbours close our doors and windows. Then he got down to work…
This video isn’t very clear but the moment the spray hit the swarm, the bees flew off and encircled the surrounding areas, before they finally fell to the ground and died.
What a way to go…
At a hospital, in a lot of pain and under the scrutiny of dozens of doctors and nurses… Grrr!
View from my hospital bed (Not the most homely place in the world)
The annoying plug in my hand (Didn’t make sleeping any easier)
Did I ever mention how much I hate seeing doctors & dentists, and hate going to clinics and hospitals?
Well… It’s quite a lot.
… you are no longer about the hackneyed, idealistic, overly-romanticized views of love and marriage, cause you’ve seen what love really is and what it isn’t.
… you are commited to one, and only one, and no other one other than the one you started out with.
… you are so angry with the person that you wanna tear the person apart, and you still can gotta, and you eventually do, say the 3 most inappropriate words for the moment… “I Love You”

Portable speakers for Sony Ericsson phones. Selling @ $55 in IP…
Sony Ericsson MPS-70
When’s your birthday when you really need it?
Saw this in a shop window this afternoon. It’s a mini tripod for SE camera phones (and a pouch which I don’t really care for)
Sony Ericsson Camera Phone Kit IPK-100
Isn’t it pretty? I can’t wait for it to be available!
Got a fortune cookie from one of those HK Cafes. Can’t remember the name of the place though.
I like fortune cookies…
Small print: World’s most popular titbits
My fortune: “Among the lucky, you are the chosen one”
Cool eh?
Feels just like an exam…
I’m so glad it’s over.
