Busy! So many things happening! October 16, 2009

I wish I could update more often, because I think the things that are happening right now are worth jotting now! Since I have no time to do lengthy updates, I will just update briefly.

1) Band. Last Sunday 9 people came for practise which was an improvement! Yeah! Our president said that Cheras SGM would like to combine with us to perform and Nilai Inti College also has the same wish. WTF! Suddenly my band is so in demand! President asked us to choose who we would like to combine with, they will be coming to OUG to practise with us. Yahoo! I hate travelling to Cheras, worst still to Nilai! In the end we sorta like Cheras SGM more because they are closer to us. For me, as long as they pay some money to us to cover the hall (our practice venue) rental, I am game for anyone combining with us.  But we still have to let Cheras SGM to have meeting among themselves to discuss about the combining. Weird, if they haven’t decided it, why even ask us to combine? I hope this coming Sunday we will find out more.

2) Condo. We plan to sell the old sofa and put it up on the website. There are few people calling up my bf to express interest, I hope they can make it to view the sofa and just pay us some money to get rid of the old sofa. We have started asking contractors to inspect our place and give us quotation. I would like to change all doors, change toilet doors to folding doors to save space, build a door at the study room, rebuild the bottom kitchen cabinet, and I think the most important of all, to get rid of the old layer windows and replace them with casement windows which are push-out type.  BF think it’s gonna be expensive to renovate the windows, I think I would rather pay RM1k, to get many nights of sound sleep, then to suffer from the traffic noise. New coat of paint is a must too, smaller things like ceiling fan and power plug, and of course new electrical appliances. I will post all the quotations that I got when I have the time. My budget is 20k, and from the likes of it, it will be well within budget.

3) Low Blood Pressure. I can’t tell that if I am sick, or with low blood pressure. I still do not know what is going on with my body…

4) Books. I finished reading Arthur C Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama. I think it’s a very good book! I enjoyed reading it. I love the ideas and the possibilities that it might happen…

5) My Nokia N82 has some issues with the memory card. Suddenly almost everything in my memory card is gone! All my pics and songs are gone just like that! Even my Garmin Mobile XT can’t run. AAAAAarrrrrrrghhh! I must have my GPS! It has always been my saviour! In the end I spend an hour to download and install my Garmin Mobile XT program and maps. Luckily it worked. And luckily I often copy out my pics into my pc. So it wasn’t that bad.  I ended up reformat my memory card. Hope this time it won’t just wipe away all my files.

That’s all for the update. If I have the time I will write more details and put up some pictures.

 

New books September 29, 2009

Filed under: Books — dimsy @ 10:42 pm

Every time I go to a book store, I look at the prices and I always wonder why are the books so expensive in Malaysia?

An average novel cost around RM40! Most of the Malaysians earn less than RM3000 every month! In Malaysia books are considered as luxury. And you know what? Our government is always promoting reading habits and blame us for being lazy to read.

Nevertheless I went to Kinokuniya few days ago and bought 2 books for myself. Can’t wait to read it!
