April Fool

Huh. Thought of something to do for April Fool's Day... but changed my mind. Its just another day at work! Can't tell my students that class is cancelled else I risk getting fired from my GM. Or maybe not, since he would not know... but alas - need to be professional at work.

Financially its been straining - hopefully we can get by month end soon. Its been great to have our maid to help out in the house and iron our clothes. Definitely refreshing to see the bed and household stuff cleaned - and its not me!

Salary Day

Good to know that I am being paid.... Today is salary day, after almost 4 mths of holiday! Nothing feels like it when you are earning your wages...

Zac is 365 Days Old

Present: AJ, JD, Caitlyn, Sophie, Maia, Sabrina (resting).

The Handsome dude sure takes after his father's image ;-)

1st Wedding Anniversary

WoW.... its been exactly 4 years since we have been married. And the wonderful thing about being married on a day that only exists every 4 years is everybody remembers - even though you might forget. Not that I don't remember, okay.

So far no plans yet - got interviews at HLB and HSBC. But good thing the kids are away at the moment so we can have some time together.

Creative Bags

Does anyone know where we can get these?

Ms. Windows

When your Windows gets dirty, what do you do? You clean them. Unfortunately, its Ms. Windows or some better known as Microsoft Windows. It boots up much slower these days and most of the files are scattered everywhere. So i think i'll make it a point to reformat my hard-disk and start all over again. Yes its painful and tedious, but its necessary.

Few things I learn is before I reinstall:
1] Get all your drivers ready.
2] Backup all the files you need safely onto the DVDs
3] Reinstall only on C: for applications
4] The rest of Data can be on D: (change My Documents to D:)
5] If needed next time, I can just reinstall the OS and Apps on C:

So i better start doing this - before I start work. Fingers X!

Mt.Kinabalu Revisited

Final Destination: The peak of SEA region.















Its sometime early of May 2005.
One brave soul (Steve) flew all the way from London, one daredevil (Dolly) from KL, 5 outdoor trekkers from Penang. The remaining 3 local boys joined in the fun to conquer Mt.Kinabalu... 4,095m.

Thank God we are now near 1,800m at the Timpohon Gate, so only left 2,295m to go... which is not too bad. However, I had to leave Kit at home who was pregnant with Amber for which I needed to make sure I get home not wrapped inside a bodybag.

Teik Wong, me and Chris Emin, taking a photo-break and enjoying the serene surrounding.

This is a shot half-way up the mountain, at Laban Rata which is 3,300 metres up. All of us look good and set to conquer the summit, after almost 6 wet hours from the Kinabalu Park HQ the previous day.

Unfortunately for Steve, Dolly, Chris and myself - we decided to take a 'short' break at the Sayat Sayat Hut. It was so comfortable that we decided to 'warm' our butts and eventually declined to move up any further. The rest made it to the summit except for Cindy who slept in the dorm.... Good for her!
