I gave up my Nokia 3230 ...

After experiencing another "hang" situation of the phone ... final decision ... trade in for a new phone!

Now, I am using the Sony Ericson's K520i, so far so good ... less headache ... although there is no extra memory card and high resolution screen ... as long as when I need it, it is functioning :-)

My Nokia 3230 sent in for repair for the 2nd time

What the heck! I still have to stuck with the temporary phone for another week ... I was happily using the repaired phone for less than 1 week ... Now, it is even worse ... I can't switch it on ... Yesterday evening, I sent it in for repair again ... Now, have to temporary use the temporary Nokia 3310 phone ... :-(

Lift safety - a forwarded email by friend

I find this email quite useful. Good to know some lift safety.

My Nokia 3230 phone back to the repair store ...

My Nokia 3230 phone is experiencing some "hang" situation whenever it is turn-on. I heard that ther is some bugs with the phone, but in overall, I am still okie with the features ... put aside that there is no "recurring alarm" like my previous Sony Ericson i500 does.

Hopefully, next Monday my phone will be back in good shape .... :-(

Balik Kampung!!

A nice trip back to my kampung in Alor Star. Still green green glasses and padi field :-)

Managed to meet up with my friend who stayed next door when we were kids. It has been about 10 years we don't meet each other. He looks great and he took me to taste the Asam Fish Head at somewhere nearby his house together with his family members. The Asam Fish tastes very good!! Next time should try again :-)

During the Chinese New Year, my sister also cooked a lot of nice food for me ... hehehe ... including Asam Laksa, Loh Mee, Bak Nkuah, Steam Boat ... a lot man!! Thanks to my sister lah ... hahaha!!

I should go home more frequently to get fatter ... hehehe... :-D

Great Penang Trip on 30 Jan 2006

Hmm ... what a great trip to Penang on 30th Jan 2006. We went to Gurney Plaza and watch "My Kung Foo Sweetheart" which is starred by Jet Li. The trip was great and it was joined by my sis Yin, her two daughter Ah Hong and Ah Booi, Ah Eng (Ah Booi's boy friend), Ah Jie Di and myself. We went to Penang by ferry. Long time didn't use ferry. I have taken some photoes ... here they are!

We travelled since 9.30am and returned home around 11.45pm ... what a long and tiring jurney, but fun :-)

We went for some prayer to get some tips on "feng sui" and then went to Sungai Petani and Bukit Mertajam for the that specific movie, but in it is only available in Penang. So, we then travelled to Penang right after our lunch :-)

The movie is damn funny lah ... don't miss it!! :-D

On the way back, we stop by somewhere half way to eat "pork leg"! Really delicious ... heheh! Next time should go and try again ... hahaha!

To live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy

To live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy.

A good quote by Stephen R. Covey in his book, "First Things First". I like it so much. It covers all the 4 basic key areas that we always forget to make balance. We always focus on certain area at certain time. Some times, we take things for granted.

We focus on our work because we want to earn more money, but we always trade off our time with our health. We sacrify our time for exercise just to finish some work that we think urgent. But, some times we forget to ask whether it is urgent or important ...

We will only think of our love ones when we are free ... but, how much time do we spend to listen to them? How much time do we spend in keeping in touch with our family members or friends who stay far away from us? How much time do we spend in celebrating their happy moments?

We will always think of getting things done, but we forget to learn the principles. We always find short-cuts in getting things done faster, cheaper ... But, we forget about learning new skills, new knowledge ... When we find out we are behind someone ... We are too late ...

We may have people that we will remember forever. But, will other people want to remember me? People will remember us as a rich person? Or a good guy? Or for what good things that I have left behind? Who do you think will remember us? Our family members? Our friends? Our loved ones?

Hmmm ... it has been long time I didn't review my own "Mission Statement" .... :-)
