On a lazy afternoon

It’s 1 day before Chinese new year eve and 2 days before Chinese new year comes, the biggest festival celebration for any Chinese at any part of the world. Honestly speaking I have not been feeling as excited about this festival as I used to ever since all my grandparents are gone.


Reunion seems to have lost most of its meaning, though it doesn’t mean that I do not like it. I am always glad to be able to meet my cousins in Johor, they are all so lovely. I only get to see them only once a year which the CNY but I really wish that I can be somewhere closer to them so that I can visit more often. However that’s hardly an excuse because I could have driven to them more often on weekends, it’s just that the journey now is quite long, about 3-5 hours drive, and flying involves a cost that I can hardly afford.

Oh well.

I’m going to be seeing most of them during CNY anyway, so there’s no point thinking about it now. I know most of them are doing well through facebook and that’s given me a peace of mind until I meet them in person. Kudos to Mark Zuckerberg for creating facebook.

Right before the CNY holiday there’s a Public holiday, which is today. That explains why I am casually typing an entry for my blog 15 minutes before the end of my work day. There really aren’t much going on at the moment. Phones aren’t ringing because it’s already almost 6pm there at Australia (3:45pm here).

Read news forwarded my friend today that right after Queensland got hit by a monstrous flood, a cyclone is going to hit anytime later today. Seems that the evacuation is already starting today noon. Gosh, please leave those people alone, there are having a bad day already, they wouldn’t need anything worse anytime soon. Hit Washington or something, I’m sure they can handle it.

The friend that sits in front of my cubical got a new phone from the girl friend on his birthday last week. A Sony Ericsson Xpheria X10. Wow. It’s a phone that I’ve been longing quite a while back then but had no budget for it. Which is why I have settled for my current phone Sony Ericsson Vivaz in last July. It’s not the best phone in the market but it handles calling just fine, plus some other non-essential gimmicks. So I’ve realized that no matter how expensive phone gets, the differences are probable between how many useless gimmicks you can get in one phone. Might as well save the cash for something better to come, not sure what…
