CNY over?

Finally according to Singapore standard out CNY is over (2 days of holiday leave only), almost everyone who didn't take extra leave or didn't enjoy any company shutdown would have gone back to work.
I'm one of those that had to take extra 3 and a half day leave during the CNY period, so will only go to work next Monday. Today going to visit Fiana's aunty and on Thursday some of us are going to Malacca for reccee.
Very excited, everything quite last minute. Book the bus ticket at the last minute possible on Saturday, book the hotel on Tuesday and the return trip bus ticket on Thursday when we reach Malacca. This is going to be fun.... Will take alot of photos and joint down the places we going so that we could bring the rest on April/May 2009.
Please pray for us (tour guide cum leader pei en, Publicity IC Dao yi, Sister of Publicity IC Wan Yee, and me) ya...

The spirit of CNY lost.

Yesterday my wife is telling my sister that all of us in the family beside me have already bought new clothes for the new year, and ask for confirmation that I'm also like that before I'm marriage.
Yes, I don't really see the need to buy new year clothes during CNY, it's not due to the recession either. Why do we need a reason for us to shop? You need a new shirt, jeans or a piece of garment, just go and buy it lar, don't need to use that as an excuse right? It's not like we only buy new clothes during this period. I believe some of us do actually purchase new stuffs throughout the year not only during CNY.
I'm slowly losing the spirit of the CNY. Why do you need to buy all the new year goodies during this time when they'll up the price by 50% or more (stuffs like the all time favourite bak kwa for example cost so much more during this period). Do you know that at normal period you could get it like in half the price and taste better too? The list of food could go on and on.
The good part is probably to see the long lost relatives of ours during the house visitation, most of them I don't even know existed till now, they show up during these period and as sudden as they appear they are gone, vanish in thin air throughout the rest of the months.
I do love to spend time with my family (My parents, in-laws, Leah, Tristan and my sis and her husband) we had an enjoyable time together talking and gathering, what I meant is we do not need to do all these only on CYN. Well if we had like 48hrs a day, work only 4 hrs each day and sleep 4 hrs, we could probably do vistation and gather all day long. But that'll be a dream for now.
To make that possible, we do not need to earn tons of money and step over the bodies of people to climb to the top. Share the good news to them, and we could have eternal gathering at our Father's place.
Going to enjoy my CNY now.. dong dong dong qiang, dong dong dong qiang, dong dong dong qiang dong qiang dong qiang......

Dumb Application

There's a application for Facebook user (not a user myself) that lets you have a free BK whopper when you dump 10 of your contacts.

Dump-friends-for-Whoppers application irks Facebook
"An application on Facebook that gave members a Whopper for every 10 friends they dumped was pulled down." info from sg news
Click here for more details.

Quite dumb, to think that people would actually dump their friends for free junk food. What is the world coming to?

Twitter

Very fun, now can update or blog what I'm doing without gg online, Juz send an SMS.
Click here to try it.

Been reading Galatians lately on the train to work (my QT time) very encouraging.

1
Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead. (Italic added)

10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

We do what we do because of God and Jesus Christ, not for man.

Amen.

Got my phone back

Finally got my phone back today, they change the LCD screen and it's for free. Don't have to fork out a single cent for the repair. Thank God for his blessing for me.
The sad news is, I've misplace the battery cover and memory card. Don't know where I've misplace it. Still searching for it. Now the back of the phone is bear, used some tape to hole the battery in place.

Did any of you try the new gadget I've place in the blog? You don't have to read the blog by yourself. Now you could listen to my blog. Quite cool.
