Every blogger is concerned about their blog traffic. That includes yours truly here (more…)

… really affects us in more ways than we care to think about.

When I was buying my new camera, the first criteria I set before I even look at all the other specifications was the thing must run on either SD card or SDHC (thanks San for enlightening me on this!)

The last camera Alex and I owned was the Sony Cybershot. Being Sony, of course THE GURU in Proprietary hardware/software came out with their fantastic Memory Stick which is can be pretty frustrating when you find an Original memory stick that doesn’t work and the vendor must ‘downgrade’ it to the OEM ones!

At first I wanted to consider the Olympus Model where it can go under water and withstand the rough handling yet again the type of memory cards that it uses to run was XD card. Not a good choice.

Anyway, I am quite a NIKON fan. Nikon RAWKS!

Businesses are always looking at ways to better showcase their products. What better way to do it than through exhibitions? (more…)

Just want to wish a big congratulations to Kevin and his lovely wife, Suet San in welcoming their first born. Hey pal, you’re the first in our house to get a baby! Cannot believe that there is a lil’ Snow!

Finally. After a long knitting session, I finally had my first hand-knitted wearable! Without further adieu, may I present to you my Heart Break Camisole!

The cami on the hanger.

The cami modeled by yours truly.

I used I-cords straps instead of the intended crochet straps. Also i did the oopsy-tie straps. Hopefully no one pulls it off!

Being a female engineer is somewhat a Catch-22 situation. You are thrown into a community of guys but many are just nerdy, studious type that is not worth dating!

Gotta love what people put up in forums !

and it wasn’t me!  Haha…

December 1st was Alex’s birthday. We should have been celebrating that in Bangkok among friends but what to do, things do not always turn up as you expected. Since that was a bummer, Alex and I decided to do a little ‘paktor‘ session on his birthday. The whole movie and meal thing. It has been quite a while since we did that.

We turned up at Midvalley rather early ~ 10am because we did not want to get trap in the traffic. Although it was a Monday but since it is the school holidays, better not chance it. Good thing too. The whole mall was behaving as though it was the weekend. Upon reaching the shopping centre, we went straight to the movie counter to get our tickets to the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace despite all our friend and colleagues giving bad/mediocre reviews about it. I for one, wasn’t that interested since Bond is some ruffian in blond! (very biased) But since it is Alex’s birthday, must give the man his choice.

For brunch, we decided to go to this very quaint looking shop in The Gardens called The Yogitree. The shop’s concept is about marrying good, organic food with yoga. Definitely a lifestyle shop catering to a niche market. Although we were there for brunch, the crowd was beginning to pick up. In my opinion, very health-conscious looking ones too.

I ordered their spaghetti with roasted Portobello mushrooms. Very delicious. The amount of cheese and olive oil was just right. Too much it will have been overwhelming and spoil the taste.

Birthday boy wanted something hearty (read: meaty), so he settled for the cheeseburger. The patty was something that he really enjoyed saying that he can taste the meat rather than just the seasoning in our regular McD’s.

To wash all that food down, we had this lovely rose bud & oolong tea. Came in the lovely see-through pot. The tea had a very lovely aroma and was very soothing to the throat. Must get some of these rose buds to make tea at home. The most amazing thing is that the cup is not hot to touch.

After the meal we had some time to ‘jalan-jalan’ before our movie started. Since it is now Advent, Christmas decorations are everywhere. If last year Midvalley had a very elegant theme, this year they are really have the little ones in mind when they decided the theme. This year looks like they are bringing the circus to town!

A friend commented that the clown looks very much like a traditional Indian dancer!

All in all it was a good day for both of us. We did feel like those nearly-forgotten dating days

It is no rocket science. The higher the risk the greater the investment. (more…)

Decorating one’s humble abode can be quite a daunting task especially here in Malaysia; blessed with sunshine the whole year round.

Traveling. One thing I think most of us like doing. (more…)
