Just ANother Day 2

Ok, after reading a few blogs I’ve decided to try this out.

1. Been pretty busy updating other so called blogs or website as I am pretty much maintaining them, as it will not look good if it stays static. Also I’ve been pretty much like a so called reporter going around snapping pictures and also writing up news in order those website will be updated. I can’t publish it here at the moment because it is not formally launched yet.

2. I am still stuck with the baby names, as we plan to resort to other letters already. I would like to thank everyone who had so nicely emailed me, pm me, left some comments on this site. Your help has really highly appreciated and I thank you for your love and concern. We are still open for comments though.

3. In terms of work wise, God has been good and has been blessing me with a lot of opportunity in doing stuff which I never thought I could do. But never the less, it’s all good and all glory goes to Him. I’m now even considering of getting the video camera soon, but that might need to wait another 1-2 weeks depending on my current video camera will “kong” or not.

4. Business in the shop has also picked up in recent days as during the whole “Bulan Berpuasa”, there weren’t many tourist around. Guess everyone also don’t feel like going out and spend as normally they are planning to save up for the upcoming Raya festival. Wishing all my Muslim selamat berpuasa.

5. Been waiting payment for the person who wanted to buy my phone but apparently I kenak holan. -_-” Anyway, I’ve already decided to put it back up for sale once again and hopefully the next person would be serious. If not, I’ve pretty much know what to do with it already. Guess that person might need it more than I do.

6. I need to bring the car for service already, as it already hit another 5,000 km. So will probably do it this Friday while attending the meeting at Breakthrough Center. As of which I’ve still have received my task on what I should be doing on that day. Well, it’s all good :)

7. I’m currently working on a flash website, whereby I never really liked using Flash. I seriously don’t know why, even back while I was still studying. I preferred the other software, so by happened I forgotten what’s the name already (which has already been obsolete, even though I thought that Flash could have easily lost to it). Anyway, thank God for the Internet I’m still able to pull through to follow the tutorials easily.

8. As for photography, it’s really been a while since I go out and take something fun. But I guess, now working as a so called reporter does put it into practice. Some more my friend who will be getting next week might be another good excuse to start taking pictures again.

9. Ah yes, next week my who will be “finally” getting married will be in Kuching as both are currently in Miri. A bunch of my gang will be coming up, and a good friend of mine from Australia will be coming over. I think I haven’t seen him for the past 1 and a half years. Never the less, it’s good that they are holding it in Kuching. I was also requested to play the piano while my aussie friend will be playing the guitar. Both of us are still working out on the song, and won’t be able to practice together until that very day afternoon. As we will pretty much be busy during the day time ceremony, and at night when the actual dinner function is being held. (I still need to look for a guitar -_-”)

10. OK. I think that pretty much wraps things up. Never thought I could write so many like that using this format. Anyway, it’s all good. Hehehe. So I think I better stop now as I need to finish up some more stuff. Speaking of which, I think I will be changing the theme for this site again. Just might have to wait a while before I start to get it done. Nevertheless have a nice day.

Real Dilemma

I’ve managed to sell of Deluxe’s old phone, and now will get a new one to replace. Should arrive by tomorrow the earliest.. Hehehe.. So it’s all good :)

    Wokay.. This one probably might be a difficult thing I would probably need to think about. Yes.. It’s the name for the baby.. We will be getting a girl for sure, as we pretty much confirmed it again. Hehehe. It should be due within 2-4 weeks now, and both mummy and daddy still haven’t really thought of a confirmed name yet.

    The problem with giving your child a name is that, it will stick with them for life. I’ve already came up with a list of names which Deluxe had pretty much didn’t like lol. The names that I picked out were, Optimus Prime, Blade, Ultra Violet, Lara, Geneva and Minnie. I don’t see anything wrong with it what. Lol. Anyway, I kid. Those weren’t the names that I came up with.

    Deluxe thought of getting the name start with the letter J, because it would sound cool where her initial would be J.J.something something. Yes. Chinese name even worst, I”ll get into that part later. Ok.. So first name that came into my mind was Jessie, but ended up scraping the idea because that was the name of my dog back home. So really had to scrap that idea off lol. So there were name such as Jessica, Jacinta, Jemimah, Jerrica, (all these I found from BabyNames.com), Jasmine, and so on. Yeah, so we’re still stump on the names. Plus it’s arriving very, very soon already. -_-” Since J was pretty much limited, I thought maybe we could try other letters. But nothing much came to mind -_-” So we’re pretty much still looking for the suitable name for her. So I think I’m in pretty much of a problem for the naming part. Lol..

    As for her chinese name, that one even more steady. Because I am pretty much Chinese illiterate, so you could imagine the headache we’re pretty much trying to come up with the name. My father in law came up with the name “Ru Yao”, or also known as Ju Ware in antiques term. Very rare to find whereby only up to 60 pieces have been found until today. The 61 will come out when the baby is born. lol, that was his explanation.

    The purpose of this post? Well. I’m opening to options.. Yes. Leave a comment on what you think the baby name will be.. Lol. Yes, do help out and I’ll get Deluxe to have a look at it as well. So if you can do help us out ya ;)

I Snapped

So many things to do yet so little time. Wanna do this cannot, wanna do that also cannot, ended up doing nothing. -_-” Probably really need proper time management. Been meaning to finish this for quite a while already, but I didn’t had the time to do so. It’s all good.

Sometimes in life, you just don’t seem to get your priority right, and suddenly so many work come crashing in thus you got yourself stuck with the stress syndrome. That is pretty much my current situation at the moment, where by right I should really be blogging due to the fact that the overwhelming response of work load I’m suppose to be doing right now. But probably it would be good to lash it out here, before anyone else pretty much feel the wrath of what stress can actually do to one person.

Fortunately for me I had Deluxe around to pretty much defused my stress, which pretty much help me a lot to sort of settle down. I’m thankful to have her around, whereby she allowed me to do the things I want that pretty much toned me down a little. Yes I would bang my head on the wall if necessary, but she didn’t really allow me to do so. Anyway, if you recalled that I posted a very nice, short and sweet post that I was in a dilemma few days ago.

Anyway, the decision that I would make regarding my dilemma would pretty much determine the future of my life. Yes, it was a very tough and long decision that I pretty much needed to think about, and seriously. It wasn’t really that easy, due to the fact that my future depended on this simple yet, life changing experience. So what’s the big fuss all about?

Well, actually I had a hard time deciding if I should get a lens, a new laptop, or a Sony HD Camera. Yup, that was pretty much my dilemma for the past few days actually. Anyway, I’ve been saving quite a bit for the baby but I didn’t really pamper myself as how Deluxe nicely put it to me. Yeah, it’s ok to “reward” ourselves once in a while. Guess that was really too difficult for me to put it into action lol. But she pretty much trust me that I wouldn’t really over spend, as I know rainy days are coming so these were the things that I really wanted to get.

1. Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM Lens
2. Sony HDR-SR11E
3. New Laptop (Not sure what brand but it has been in my mind for a while already)

Probably I could have gotten easily any of these 3, but with the baby coming. Somehow my ways of getting things have slightly shifted. Back then, was like buy now then think when to use it later. Now is like, which is the most practical or appropriate for me to get and what can I do with it. For those who might be curious what I would like to think my previous shopping list would look like. Here’s how it would look like.

Before After
  • New Laptop
  • Nintendo Wii
  • Canon 50D
  • HD Video Camera
  • PSP
  • Milk Bottles
  • Diapers
  • Milk Formula
  • More diapers
  • …and whatever the baby needs :P
  • Please take note that the strike means I got the item, but rather it got canceled from my list.

    Someone suggested me that I should get a loan, to pretty much get the things that I need.  But I’m not that desperate until that stage.  Lol.  Anyway, I’m not complaining about it though. I’m pretty much amazed how the baby managed to change the perspective of her daddy who loves to buy unnecessary things, to pretty much save up for her. Lol. So it’s all good. Anyway, on with what I actually just had bought. I didn’t intend on getting the Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM Lens, as I pretty much know that I would be doing less shooting from now onwards apart from the baby. And the current lens I have now is sufficient to do all the wonders that it should. A new laptop wouldn’t do much purpose as my current laptop is still alive and well, and does not give me any problem apart from the Cd-rom just died on me a few weeks ago. As for the Sony HDR-SR11E, I was very, very the tempted in getting this. As I almost placed an order for this. What actually stopped me was because of the requirements it needed for play back. Fortunately I did a little bit of homework, as I download a sample movie and did a play back on both my laptop and desktop. Unfortunately the requirements to play back this movie is fairly high, so that pretty much was the deciding factor in getting this camera. And I was thinking probably I should get a DCR-SR65E for now, considering of using it for the next 3-4 years as how my previous DCR-21E has served me well and still is alive apart from the LCD cover doesn’t shut properly. Never the less, this would still be in consideration as how desperately I need it. At the time being it will be in KIV within the next few weeks to come.

    So in conclusion, I actually did went and buy something which was totally not in my list. And I’m pretty much happy with the decision that I made. I got myself a humble and not so expensive brand new HTC TyTN II. Loving the feature so far, and haven’t really been putting it down for the past few days already. And pretty impress with all it’s cool features, and probably I should write a post about this :P Before any of you start to think other wise, that phone is also pretty much one of my list I would get sometime in the near future. As I pretty much made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t want to get another expensive phone after my Motorola L6 incident so not worth getting an expensive phone anymore.. So I went to get a Motorola V3X instead, why I also don’t know and it was pretty cheap considering the feature it has.. Well, I got a vodafone brand but it was easily taken care off by flashing it. So it’s a much more cooler phone compared to the original one :P Which pretty much means I am still under my budget so I guess it’s all good.

    Anyway, that was what i bought for now. Will wait another few more days or weeks before my next major purchase lol. But it’s all good, and finally I can post this post as it has been delayed for over a week already.. I would like to thank everyone who has been following this blog, and for your concern as well. Been very busy for the past week, but at least now I can breathe a little and get on with my life :) Have a nice day.
