Quick Life Update

Its been quite some time since I've updated my doings. So here it is in no particular order what I'm busy with now:

1. Car - still getting used to the new car. Made some really silly mistakes with it like leaving it on and walking away etc. But so far, really happy with it.



2. Cooking - getting more intrigued by cooking perhaps coz i watched Yakitake Japan. Will try to cook the nonya dish Buah Keluak soon.



3. GPS - quite linked to the car, have bought myself the Garmin Nuvi 255W. More difficult than it seems to really get a handle on this coz there is more than meets the eye. Am trying to plug myself into the community of mappers.



4. Discus - yes the fish, have gotten slightly more interested in them but overall still not really there yet.



5. Shrimp Tank - currently doing more with the shrimp tank at home, have recently bought some yamotos to eat up the hair moss and am doing daily snail maintenance with them. their numbers have grown from 50 to about 100 now and exponentially increasing!

6. Business - this one is really all over the place. there are big plans to reform and take bold steps. Money is scarce coz of the crisis, companies are holding funds back. Trying to get a loan now from the govt as well as working out new sales strategies with a potential new partner. It could really swing anywhere. Besides that, there are a lot of political issues etc. One thing for sure is, things are going to get very interesting this year...



7. PS3 - loving it more...been playing Little Big Planet a lot...really good game. Recommend anyone with a PS3 and who likes arcade style game (ala Mario) to get it.



8. Home - Will being installing an electronic lock soon on our main door. Can't wait! It is in response to my main door being so hard to unlock all the time. Have to change the handle (happening later today) before i can install the lock. Have also managed to get the Papa San chair back finally...it was hard but had the help of my good friend and her van.



9. Diving - finally bought the full set of diving gear already. Last buy being the regulator. Though it was bought at a cheap price, its still very expensive. Now need to start diving again.



10. Health - bad...going downhill mainly coz of chinese new year...really need to try harder.

11. Travel - sigh, not diving but going Japan in a few weeks. since its winter, we have to take steps to protect against the cold. have already assembled like 70% of the winter wear we need. its free and easy so its pretty scary too...unfamiliar country that doesn't speak english. though not really an ideal time to travel due to work, intend to fully enjoy and relax.

12. Finances - been spending TOO much buying all kinds of toys etc. really x 10 have to cut down...furthermore there is the trip too thats gonna take up a lot of cash. good thing is that we have been saving on eating out...still...money no enough. should take things more carefully. the car taking up a lot of money.
