CNY 2007

My CNY this year can be considered pretty miserable. At least, on the last day of work, we managed to hang out at the Breeks for lunch (our 'version' of 'sou gong fan'). But on the next day, my stomach felt terrible, with the patties and the spagetti sauce that was not digested. Eww....... I just puke it all out the next day. Morever, with the 2+ mandarin oranges I had, I couldn't even clean up the house on New Year's Eve.

New Year's Day started with church........ and one song that struck me was..

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end,
they are new every morning, new every morning,
Great is thy faithfulness of God,
Great is thy faithfulness..

-> it just mean that God is merciful to us everytime, and it just renewed everyday...
So, if we choose to ask God to help us in whatever circumstances with us, he will be by our side to overcome the problem with us together. In deed, we could sing, "With Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm".

Oh yea.. and i liked the hillsongs "mighty to save" album that i borrowed..... especially the song "At the cross"...


Second day was going around houses.... not much at all this year.
Only collected a handful....... from 2 houses.

Kinda sad to know from my baby sitter that her husband passed away suddenly last Christmas. She was still grieving. She was still tearing while telling us the whole story. Since I started working, I always thought that I would pop by to her house once in a while to spend time with her but never did. I think I shall make it a difference this year. I hope I will, but not too sure I can.

Third day -> schoolmates reunion... geee...

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...

Vacation nightmare

I was dreaming as if I was in Sentosa. The beach was beautiful and I tried capturing the scenery with my digicam. Sunset was colorful. We were in the closed up area and a few of my friends and I began to pose while getting the staff to take pics for us. We posed quite long for them. Shots don't seem to be good. The scene suddenly changed into a bedroom scene with my sis. There was a great disaster. The enemies had come. With just one blow from his mouth, the bridge was changed into wooden bridge (like Terabithia). They came to destroy by placing the bottle of ketchup (what the??!?) at every spot. We tried to strategize. OOps......... and the dream just died.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.
