A Brand New Chinese Year

So its the start of another Rabbit  year.

Reunion dinner - we did steamboat again, thanks to Charmaine for her preparations.  Kit made a nice chocolate cake for dessert and I help clean up. Also a first - help dad with his hair-cut.  He seems to be getting worse - can hardly walk - his right feet is half-way on the side.
No sure what to do - NASAM or get a physicotherapist.

A visit to mum on the 1st day.

No florist open today, so I improvised with nearby bushes.

Thank goodness the weather is cool at 10am.

Sabrina joined us on the way to Ulu Langat.

Anyway, hope don't have to do too much visiting.

CNY Coming

Less than a week more for CNY.
Maid is going off in 3 days.
Ryan's party in 1 day.

Today - finished my 70-642 exam, so 2 down and 3 to go before MCITP.

First Day @ School & Tooth Fairy

Zac finally has don his outfit for 1st day at school.  And all he does is play puzzle - which is good for him and his motor skills.

 Rushing to school.... 8.25am

Dragging their bags...

Amber is 1st.

Zac caught up.

Amber also lost her 1st teeth during the end of the 1st week. She cried and sob non-stop according to mum... poor girl. She kept asking when her new tooth will grow back.





We're also in the midst of changing their schedule. No more nap time in the afternoon as both of them struggle to get to bed at 10pm.  For now, dinner at 6pm then bedtime at 8pm.

For me, 2nd week of the year  - down with terrible sore-throat. Had to be on MC for 2 days and even after I gobbled up all the anti-biotics, still not recovered.  Pumping my body with lots if Vit-C to counter my low immune-system.

Why Do People Scream?

A professor asked his students, "Why do people scream at each other?"
One said,"coz they are angry".
Another said, "they are frustrated."

Many answered but none satisfied the professor.

People scream because their hearts are far apart, distance by some conflict.
Their hearts can't hear each other - so they have to scream to get attention.

But if you notice people who are in love, their hearts are close to each other.
You never see them scream but rather they whisper to each other.

In fact, some are people are so close - that they don't even have to say anything.

Good insight - professor!

Hmmm.... so am I silent or screaming all the time??

Gotong Royong @ Work

After the 5S briefing, managed to clear my table and move to another cubicle.

On another note, Zac seem to be enjoying his 1st 2 days at school.

Year of the Rabbit - 2011

There are things I want to do, I should do and I must do.  How can I list all of them down without losing faith and direction?  Most people resolved not to do any resolution any more.

Question is, how was my 2010 resolution?  Did I even make any of them.  Every year, I hear people say they make resolutions but never hear them say how did they fare the year before.

We are only as good as where we put our money where our mouth is.

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

New Year's eVe

I’ve always thought that you can see the hand of God best in the rearview mirror. Looking back, it’s easier to understand why He placed us in the home that He did; why He brought certain people and circumstances into and out of our lives; why He permitted difficulties and pain; why He took us to different places and put us in various jobs and careers.
