Edition 240 – Holiday Mood

gathering_food_20080204

A picture to set the Chinese New Year mood for this year. Anyway, it’s amazing how one can slip into a holiday mood in the span of one day. Yesterday, I was still hard at work trying to troubleshoot some problems that I’m facing while integrating with another system and getting pretty frustrated at it. And today, when I stepped into the office, it was pretty empty and the holiday mood sank in. Nevertheless, the fight has begun against that holiday mood…

gathering_20080204 Had a fun time at a Michelle’s place yesterday night. We had our traditional yearly gathering over steamboat and chit-chat. Yesterday’s included screenings and some fun with the Wii. It was great catching up, enjoyed in the company of friends unwinding after a long day. The evening even stretched till almost 1am for some of us. Why? The Wii is simple too addictive. Want to see how ridiculous one can look while playing “Boxing”? Check out the video below. Simply fun and fascinating.

Headed back to Penang tomorrow for CNY. Will be there for about a week and I hope that I don’t have to touch work much. I just want to rest and relax, enjoy a few laps in the pool, and get as far away from work as I can. And of course to spend precious time with my family, this time with my sister included in the mix. I think she missed the last two Chinese New Years. And Debbie is joining me as well. So it’s shaping up to be a fun getaway.

Got to go jump back into work now. Will update again when I’m back in Penang. And yes, I have broadband there now. Although 512Kbps, it’s still better than nothing. So until the next time, cheers… :Þ
