behind this speeding soapbox is a man in a cubicle

Okay, so now I DON’T think I should have skipped out on taking leave.
I’m sleep deprived, feeling I can accomplish more non-office stuff, and everyone else is at home having fun.
Why do I feel overwhelmingly clueless about so many things? I have a [...]

Orange on Gold

I’m going back to Penang this CNY holidays… I was expecting some foreign affiliate to exclaim something like “holidays? I thought we just got past that”.
Well we have many seasons here… shopping, festivities and monsoon.
This one’s just as quick as the last one, and I’ve gone past being overwhelmed by [...]

I’ve been neglecting my blog for so long, but I’ve been really busy moving in! We’re at our new place now in Subang, and the pic you see here is actually a glorified view from one of the apartment units (not mine).
After awhile you get used to the fact that there’s [...]

My wife and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary at a very wonderful italian restaurant tonight, called Neroteca. It’s located at the ground floor of the Somerset Apartments on 8 Lorong Ceylon, which is near where Tingkat Tong Shin and Changkat Bukit Bintang is.
If you know where Istana Hotel is, at the side of that [...]

My wife and I would have gone through 2 years of matrimony in a few days’ time. Some people say that it’s the same as having a girlfriend come stay with you. But I don’t see it that way.
The past two years have been quite “easy” on us. [...]

I’m finally back from Bangkok, and just in time for a busy work schedule. So much for that break I was longing for.
All in all, I’m really happy how everything went. We were supposed to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday, so I suggested Bangkok because I thought it would make everyone [...]

I’ll be gone for awhile, but I shall return in a few days.
Meanwhile, the new dining room lamps have been fixed. There have been some problems with the plumbing and wiring. Streamyx has not been activated yet. And I’m off to shop for some interior decor on a light budget.
Enjoy the weekend. Mine’s extended.

Move house
Originally uploaded by Ania_*.

We’ve begun the first steps to move into our new place. Not Flora, but to Subang Jaya. My parents purchased a unit at the Boulevard, which is close to Holiday Villa, just down the road from SJMC.
It’s a much nicer place, with a nice pool and a decent gym, and more [...]

The connection has been so bad recently that I can’t access Flickr, and even if I manage to, it’s so slow that I can’t even do anything remotely decent.
I use Flickr to get photos to supplement my posts, because there’s a lot of good stuff there, and there’s a neat utility for me to [...]
