Tidying some pencils
Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils.

Cockroach wars
About 3 months ago, I had this encounter with a cockroach. I know what you're thinking (yuck, kel's home is so filthy! so many cockroach stories). Well I have to say that my house is quite clean really. Just that from time to time, a cockroach will show up and try to be funny.
Anyways I was on my comp in the living room one day 3 months ago, when I suddenly heard a fluttering sound, like a plastic like sound, something like 2 fingernails hitting each other (something like that lah). I looked to my left and saw a cockroach the size of thumbdrive right beside me against a pile of boxes on my white chair.
I was like, geez, my house needs cleaning! I rushed to grab my weapon of choice, a roll of old newspaper. I sneaked towards the beast and swiftly brought it down whacking it. Not that I'm bragging, but my aim is usually spot on.
However, I couldn't find the body anywhere, thinking that it got away, I carried on with my comp.
Guess what...
Yesterday, amongst the boxes, there it lay...
It was so dead that it's legs fell off. All that's left is that crispy black body I had to pick it up with toilet paper. Buried it in the dustbin that day. R.I.P.

$20 bye bye
For those of you who know me, I set myself a resolution in the beginning of the year to be summon free for 2009. Since the start of the year, I've been extremely careful to put my carpark coupons, top up my cashcard, etc.
Alas, on Saturday night after visting Duncan and Vivien's little boy Raemus, we went for supper near Adam road. And there it struck. The my first summon of the year.
$20 donation. Argh!!!

Money Money Money
Met up with Karen the other day talking about my finances, I realised I have to really find out where my money goes to every month. Because I had no clear idea. My rough idea is so rough.
Because of this, I've been faithfully keying in every expenditure for the last 3 weeks. I have to tell you, that the bulk of my money goes to birthdays, weddings, red packets and taxis so far. Maybe I should make less friends... (kidding!)
Anyway, I'm making a conscious effort to save especially on travel, and food. The good thing about my company is that I can eat a simple vegetable rice meal for about $2.10. That means $10.50 for one week of weekday lunches. (Oh What savings!)
The challenge is to save vigorously and at the same time be a generous person. What's the point in saving religously and turn into a scrooge. Maybe I can be selectively generous... hmm...
Haha...

Sorry for not blogging...
Reason for not blogging?
Maybe it's due to my bout of fever over the 4 days I fell sick, but I think I lost abit of weight. My jeans feel baggy (like my old Alien workshop baggy jeans).
Well, it could also mean I am a lot busier, more work means more energy being used, which means weight loss. Recently due to deadlines, my entire project has been in an OT frenzy.
Gosh, my gf asked me the other day, "must you work so hard?" I was like, "no choice leh, got a lot of work, and not enough time".
Nowadays I find it harder and harder to make time to do things. Seems like, I very often need to choose to do some things and forget about the other. I need grace...

I am a Taiwanese
Well, one week after returning from Taiwan, I realised that I am still missing Taiwan. (lesser now though) Man, I really love the place, nice (cheap) food, friendly people, beautiful scenery. Things you can't really find elsewhere.
Anyway, reason for being in Taiwan if you don't already know, is for my wedding shoot with Joyce. It was fun taking the photos. (I won't be revealing any shots until next year)
The sunset at dan shui is so beautiful. Just a golden yoke sitting on the clear endless horizon. A flawless blend of orange,yellow and blue. God's very own paint brush dancing on the evening sky, perfecting every stroke as the sun dims. You got to go see that.
I am really a Taiwanese on the inside.
