2000
This is the number of steps needed for me to reach almost half way of my daily walk to office.
She did the calculating while walking home today.

Sacrifice
Do you think that in order for you to gain something, you'll always end up losing something?
This thought struck me when I was going out for my dinner. I miss my life back in KL.
I miss family. I miss her. I miss friends. I miss having things to do.
But I knew that to continue my life in KL, I would have to be doing what I'm doing now. Work.
So I have to give up my life in KL so that I can have a life in KL.
Ironic?

A time
Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
As 2008 is coming to an end, i guess this is a good time to consider what I've done in the past year. This is a time for me to reflect on the past, to consider present and to prepare for the future.
In the beginning of 2008, I made a resolution, a simple one. To minimise my debts, and to have some savings in my bank account.
It was going pretty well for the first 6 months of the year. But everything went downhill from then. Debts grew, savings shrank. And now, debts more than ever,and savings.... just none.
I'm not proud to say that I did pretty badly for this year. And it breaks my heart to say that I have gotten myself into this position. But what has happened can't be undone.
And now, I'm in BKK trying to get some constant cash in to minimise my debts. It's not easy and not getting easier. But i have to make it out.
So, now it's for me to move on, and to carry on my 2008's resolution into 2009.
May 2009 be a year when I finally get my resolution fulfilled.
Happy new year!

Lek Seafood
Went for this restaurant that I would pass by everyday, but never thought of eating. Just felt like having something different today, and went in and found my place to sit.
It's thai food and very reasonably priced. I had a fried rice with crab meat and a vege, similar to 马来风光, and a bottle of drinking water.
Not that bad.
Lek Seafood
Entrance to restaurant, which can't be seen from the main road.
Kitchen staff working hard... by the main road.
People waiting outside the restaurant...
inside the restaurant...
马来风光, enough for two person... a rarity in portion for food here in BKK.
Fried rice with crab meat, a lot of onions... but it smells and taste great.
It's really a nice place for food, as mainly Thai people that frequent this place. And they would normally come in groups. So it does say something about the quality here. The price is reasonable and the food is good.
The main thing is, strategically located. Easily accessible. Just take the BTS and get off at Chong Nonsi and get out at exit, hmmmm, 2 or 3? haha.. can't remember. And you could see the kitchen when you get off the station.
I enjoyed myself there, and left a satisfied man for just 100 baht.

Laziness
Proverbs 24:33-34 (New International Version)
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest-
and scarcity like an armed man.
I've always known these verses since I first believed in Christ in 1997. However, I've never kept it in heart. Never really paid much attention to it.
I was lazy then. As I am now. These verses still are very relevant then and now.
Pray that I will learn, and maybe change to be a better person. Not as lazy...
And this, my Christmas prayer.
Christmas Eve Party
The big boss is not in. The staffs are in holiday mood. Everyone wanna have fun. So someone came up with the brilliant idea of having a lunch party at office, and they made it within an hour. It proves that if they wanna do something, fast and quick, they can make it done.
The deco and the food. We, or rather they, ordered pizza from The Pizza Company-- copycat of Pizza Hut, KFC, and fries from McD. Variety of food makes everyone happier.
After the food, they even had a mini-karaoke session, which I didn't participate. The songs are just not my cuppa tea. They had fun. As for me, it's was ok.
So enjoy the pictures and Merry Christmas.
