i'm gonna be broke in the first fortnight of december.. sigh
when the aalv and ict start coming in after the honeymoon.. i will feel the effects more.. must start saving!
the list in my xmas stocking
well if it's a wishlist for santa, means i need not spend any money.. so the wishes can be anything right? i'm pretty sure i was a good boy this year.. maybe santa could buy me a
2nd on my list.. i wish for good patterns for 2009. don't have to be the high allowance ones. just gimme a few more houstons and san fransciscos, a few more nagoyas and fukuokas, and i don't mind a few more paris for the 2.5x if this coming up turns out to be a nice trip.
3rd on my list.. i wish for all my family and friends to be happy and healthy
4th is for 2nd to come true.. so santa will only have one car to put in a really big stocking. the rest i can buy for myself =D
and maybe one last wish for world peace! stop global warming and feed all the hungry children in the world. ahh. there's always room for a noble cause =)
time for an upgrade
finally can afford better earphones. can afford some new toys
ultimate ears super.fi 5 pro @ US$250
or
westone um2 @ US$299
havnt been down to stereo for a listen and price check. feel like going.. but im still lazing at home in front of my mac. anybody free to accompany me?
so many things now i can afford.. including an opc. oh and i just realised $2 coe does not apply to 1.8civic.. maybe an opc fit? wah damn cheap. but still insuficient justification to a car purchase now. so let's look at smaller toys.
sounddock portable @ US$399? can bring around with me to longer layovers, patterns or standbys. but this is purely a "can do without" item.. lol
what's next?
ipod nano 16gb @ US$199? my ipod is working fine still. but finally this one comes along and shouts out i'm better looking than your conventional cute white fatty. so much lighter and smaller. so much more portable. maybe time for an upgrade? should be much cheaper at departure hall =)
hmm.. economic downturn? but i must say we are really underpaid. **,**7 take home for 3rd +4th month =D really abit low for a lowly poly guy like me.
when are we going for atas high tea or whatsoever?
Johannesburg
i have now set foot on america, africa, australia, asia and europe. johannesburg was pretty okay. i was hoping it was cape town. then i would have gone sightseeing to the cape of good hope and maybe go carry lion cubs. ended up donating money to the casino at the hotel. first time in a big casino. pretty good experience. lunch at the hotel restaurant was fantastic.. i strongly recommend everyone to go try the grilled fillets of kingklip rarebit topped with melted cheese served with a special herb butter. gpgt
lost my tookit when doing the shuttle to cape town. lucky nothing important inside.. only my multivitamins and oven gloves.. first time taking/handing over a/c with pax onboard. forgot to check. sigh.. hopefully can recover it.. but i shall go make a new one in the meantime.
guys. it's been some time since we last played pool. girls. it's been quite some time since we last sang k. shall we come out soon?
will lose heat
there is a very hot cup of tea, say it's close to a hundred degrees. no matter how good the thermal pot or whatever insulating container, the tea will turn cold after a long time.
without a source of heat to keep it warm, it will turn to a cup of cold tea. it will lose its flavours and appeal.
maybe it was meant to be a cup of cold tea after all. i shouldn't even have brewed it in the first place.
