Great invention!Check out Microsoft Worldwide telescope.
Just listening to the presenter's voice and you can sense his excitment and how strongly he believes that this invention will allow indiviudals to create their own universe. Bring it on!

The Mood came late
Just when I am enjoying it, it's back to work again.
Yes, I am talking about the Chinese New Year mood. For the past few years, it normally takes 1-2 days for me to get into the CNY festive mood. Like running a marathon, you start slow, pace yourself and when the ending line is in sight, you make a dash for it. This time round, the mood came a way too late. I guess I have outgrown the age of waiting anxiously for the morning to break, getting all dressed up in my new clothes and eagerly collecting ang baos from my parent/relatives and stashing it up in my little red pouch like an Ah Long going round to collect his debts. (Hah! What a way to describe it)
Most of the time, I sleep late during the CNY period. Although this year round, I still make it a point to go for my normal morning run before any visitation begins (I guess I needed that 'extra caffeine' to kick start the morning). I must admit I've gone through the stoning-at-home phase (when all the shops are closed and there is no place for me to 'hide' from relatives), the art of digressing to a different topic whenever relatives asked 'Why not married?' (status has changed so far as they are asking 'When going to give birth?'), getting use to the sunny weather (did anybody notice that during the CNY period, the weather is usually hot??!!) and blar blar blar.
It doesn't help that there's my favourite tin of pineapple tarts at all the places I visit and the irresistable bak-kwa staring right in my face tempting me to devour it. And right now, just when I am slowly getting into the momentum of enjoying it, it's back to school for the kids and yes, work for the adults. Although CNY last for 15 days, it is still the first 2 days that it's the most 'HAPPENING' (based on my previous observations).Hiya!
The runner is hoping that she does not see the ending line too soon as she is looking forward to 'LOU HEI' this weekend.

Passing of Heath
Shocking news though it's an old news recently. One of the brokeback mountain lead actor Heath Ledger has died and he is only 28 years old!!!
It's so sad...I liked him and thought he was a great actor in the show. What a waste!

Why no blogging?
Why no blogging? Well, simple and most straight forward answer is plain tiredness.
December and January was my least productive blogging month since I began blogging almost 1 year back. Don't worry though I'm not giving up the blogging, I've spent a fair part of December travelling and January, just say many things are changing now (I think it should be for the better) and yes, work has pretty much taken up my time (only for this period I pray).
With February being the Chinese Lunar New Year, I guess it will be house-cleaning, stocking up goodies and basically, enjoying every moment basking in the festive season. So, yeah, blog count will drop too. Also, there hasn't been that much to write about lately although I think that will change soon...so all I can say is...keep watching.
And I want to share my favourite Korean movie 'Coffee Prince' with all. It's so touching!!! I wish I was the lead actress inside the show..:)Still have to say I'm loving it and can't wait for the Serial 2 to be out soon!
