Ramblings...
Thank you, Darren for linking me to his blog. Compared to the *all-mite-y* (check out the meaning & no evil intended!) i am but a humble beginner.
It's Valentine's Day and i don't have a romantic dinner to go to. For those of you who are sick of paying too much for too little every year, go visitKenny Sia and follow his steps to financial freedom on Valentine's Day to the T. Your girlfriend/wife will be soooo "impressed".
Instead...
We're going to celebrate Beth and Jason's engagement! Lil' Elizabeth 'beeBet' Giang is getting engaged to Jason '2cool4words' Ng. We love those two so much. Jason's a recent friend (circa 2005) while i've known Elizabeth since the early 1990s. So we're terribly happy that she's found a Mr. Right-for-her. Notice that i put in the word (article) 'a' coz, it is my sincere belief that there's no such thing as the One. There are many 'ones' out there and it's up to us to go the extra mile.
Me? I'm ecstatic with what i have. Linda's a fantastic woman to be able to love and care for two kids; David and... Me. After all, grown men are just 'bigger' boys... we never grow up. So ladies, beware. I hope that i will be able to love her in return and be her physical and emotional support for as long as i'm able to. So, Happy Valentine's Day to Linda, my best friend and true love!
p/s: If you're going to spend it alone this year, give thanks for the massive amount of $$$ which you will save!

Happy mid-semester break to all you uni boys and girls enjoying your first day of *ahem* extended sleep! It's been a flurry of activities and i'm still stuck at work at this particular moment in time.
To Darren: so sorry you got screwed by the advert... waitamicrofishinminute.... you've got no choice so, fly FAX, they're great, they're the only thing you're ever gonna have.
Having a meeting in Limbang from the 9th - 12th of March, i decided to NOT BE ME and book my.. our flights early. The damage to my bank account are as follows:
Kuching - Miri - Kuching (by AirAsia) RM 335.52 (2 adults and 1 miniature typhoon David)
Miri - Limbang - Miri (by FAX) RM 135.52 (2 adults and 1 miniature typhoon David)
Both amounts quoted are inclusive of all the s**t they charge us with (taxes, fuel surcharge, etc.). I've also managed to book my Kuching - Penang - Kuching (by AirAsia) for RM 249.98 (solo).
Ecstatically, (i had to rub my tired, disbelieving eyes) i clicked the "YES! AM I STUPID OR WHAT!?!" button quickly before any other lucky sod could snatch the seat away from me.
Aside from all the other internet related stuff that we've been following, i found this great piece of news as i was browsing the Star Online site. It's about 52 years old Lim Oh Pah who blew the whistle on his pig farming colleagues using beta-agonists to make their pokers bigger, fatter and grunt-ier (?). He's been boycotted by the pig farming and selling community - they don't want to sell his products anymore- and had to go into 'direct sales' himself. Proved a point that when you cut out the middle-men, you get better profit margins. Well done to Mr. Lim who doesn't use all that artificial crap on his piggies.

It stopped raining for nearly a week but it started pouring this morning! Let's start thinking about saving water for the dry spell ahead... rain today, draught tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!

This is the busiest day ever! I've been up since 6:30 am and have not rested since. I had to be in the uni this morning to sort out some administrative matters, then back to school for classes until 12:45pm. My day improved when i saw Linda at home with the little runt. We went out to buy lunch and got home just in time to eat, drink, and blast off to work. I'll be off to the uni again at 4. I hope to get home by 10:30 tonight. I'm off to a meeting now. I miss my holidays...
