First of all, happy 2008! 😄

Anyway, just completed my Chinese New Year shopping this year. After being fed up with the amount of T-shirts that I had, I opt for collared ones. Just cutting all the crap of me failing my shopping trips, this trip to Sungai Wang Plaza proves fruitful as I got what I envisioned there. Basically I got fiery colours this year: red and orange and both of them are from Blue Toms. (capture pictures later when I feel like it)

But what came to me as a surprise is that I finally found the perfect undies after a year! Or more like I think I know the criteria of what I wanted for a very personal and intimate piece of fabric. 😛 I think I’d much prefer Diesel’s Modal fabric …

Been through a HP7 marathon from last night till this evening: almost close to 24 hours straight and I finished the whole book, phew! (Heck, I only slept two hours yesterday, but the book was not completely at fault, just say that I was woken up unexpectedly by a phone call later on)

Anyway, reason I got the book is mainly due to a 40% cut on the intended retail price and the fact that I can’t hold of my curiosity in completing the series (for one thing I’m more patient in waiting for the price to drop, but was not patient enough to wait for a warehouse sale that would clear off the book with a RM30++ price tag :p). And I’m greatly satisfied with the book in the sense that …

• It’s not about how much you are able to influence at one time, but rather how long it’s sustainable and how to maintaining momentum of continuing the influence.
• It’s not about getting the easy targets that comes towards you, but rather getting others spreading the influence on your behalf that is more important.
• … and it’s all about being able to see the bigger picture of things and having a grasp of the myriad of directions that they all move themselves to.

December’s almost over and my posts for the month is looking very sparse ^^||.

Basically I was up there at Genting Highlands with Kok Weng again to standby for a week as we just deployed/installed (or rather, redeployed) a system there. And it had been quite eventful in the sense that it was never a dull moment there. In my personal opinion the installation was quite successfully, not to say that there’s no hitches along the way: there’s still quite a few issues and throughout the whole week we are waken up by early morning calls (imagine those around the 3-5am period). Luckily Kok Weng is much more sensitive to such disruptions than I do and that I’m able to rush there quite fast despite the distance between the hotel and …

心想，梦想和现实之所以有距离，是因为自己没卖力付出，还是“若是没有距离就不是梦想”呢？

I was thinking, the reason that there’s a gap between dreams and reality, is it because we aren’t working hard enough to attain it, or is it that “it will not be a dream if there’s no distance between them”?

Hmm… As much as I was tempted, I have to hold back my horses and probably making sure that I only make my next gadget purchase a few months later? (say, February?) After all, I got my LG KU250 only a month or two ago. Currently topping the list is the Asus Eee PC, as it was something that I could definitely find a use for. Not to mention the small form factor and light-weight (so in a way I can really carry it around whenever I like it).

Then there’s the Nintendo DS Lite and the iPod, but I suppose these items can wait? Generally I’m not as into games as I used to anymore (more like I can live with it for now) and despite my growing music collection, I still …

Keep telling myself that whatever I do, it will not cause it to become the end of the world, so to keep my perspective in place and being able to make decisions for myself more confidently.

- One baby step at a time -

Don’t worry with what results it may turn out to be, trust that there’s always a valuable lesson to be learnt from it, whatever the outcome will be.

It had been one of the most asked question when it comes to relationships, however I was still fascinated by the multitude of answers it can generate and reflects one of the deepest core of belief.

“Given someone you are strongly attracted to but you are unsure of whether the relationship would last, and another whom you didn’t experience the euphoria but you feel secure and comfortable in sharing your life with that person: whom shall you choose?”

心中就因有了寄托，才更能够感到寂寞

It’s because there’s attachment, therefore you’ll notice your own loneliness even more.
