Finally my free Note came. Yes, it is the Samsung Note. I gave it to my husband to use because his phone is acting funny lately. He used it for 1 night and gave it back to me, saying “It is too complicated and it cannot sync with the Mac Book”

Oh well, I will use it then as a tablet PC. I do not intent to give up my iPhone. I found that The Note is not very user friendly. First let me talk about the likes:

1. I can watch flash!!! Hooray.
2. Many Android games are free.
3. Many cool apps that came with the phone. However I still do not have time to play with them.

Now the not so good part:

1. Not easy to use especially for a beginner.
2. Icons all over the place, a little disorganized.
3. Cannot find delete function.
4. Design flaws between the volume and power off button. When I try to turn on the volume, often I turn off the power, due to the fact that it is placed side by side.

I am still figuring things out.

Hiring good employees definitely will help the company grow. However they are not easy to come by. The other day, I was in the office and while I was doing my work, I heard this guy talking very loudly over the phone. I didn’t want to ease drop on anyone’s conversation but he just was too loud. Guess what he was doing? He was actually doing an interview and he is the interviewee. Can’t he go and book a conference room to do it in private? I really shake my head and sympathize with his manager.

Definitely, he has just downgraded his professionalism. I am sure the future employer will do a background checks for employment on him. If anyone were to feedback this his future employer, he will not be hire.

As an employee, we should know what things we should do and what things we shouldn’t do.

I love looking at bracelet especially those that are handmade. I seldom wear a lot of jewelries but I like wearing bracelet at times. In fact I got myself a nice pearl bracelet when I was in India. The seller taught me the different types of pearls and which are the expensive ones.

By the way, I do make some of my own bracelets when I have time. Of coz, mine is not as good as those that are in bajulimports.com charm bracelet.

If you know if any good design of bracelets, feel free to leave a comment. I would love to look at them.

I took these pictures a while back when I was in KL. Every country has a bear and my children were picking the country they like to take a picture with. They are really cute but we cannot carry any home.

I was watching a dance movie yesterday on my computer. I really admire people who can dance. The moves are smooth and it goes with the music. The band was playing some really cool music, I believed they used Ampeg B2RE Rack Bass Heads to crank up the sound.

Two teens were dancing and singing showing some very elegant moves. It certainly bring back memories of my teens age where we go crazy over songs like All Night Long, Careless Whisper, Beat It and others. Now you know which era I am from.

You know what’s a great door gift, it would be custom printed golf balls. I have been to many events and I received many door gifts. Some were really practical and usable gift. There was one that I totally do not know what it is. After some Goggling, finally found out it was a tie rack. Now why do I need that?

I am hoping to receive custom printed golf balls. If I don’t play golf, at least I can use it as a decoration on my shelves. It will remind me of the event I attended.

The new cage is so much easier to clean because I can separate the top and bottom. It is so much bigger for Dash to run around and do some exercise on his own. He doesn’t like to come out of his cage. Every time I changed his cage, he will like to crawl back inside.

This cage also has a bottom compartment for him to hide himself. He loves to be in the dark. I also can put a litter box for him to do his business. However I learnt that Guinea pig cannot be toilet train.
One more thing is that this cage does not have holes at the bottom. Bedding or poop will not fly outside of the cage when Dash jumps around. Yeap he jumps around when he is happy.

By the way, Dash greets me every morning when I walk down stairs with his squeaky sound.

I am happy and Dash is happy.

I was looking at these deck and patio flooring tiles, I like the interlocking tiles. It is really easy to install. They have outdoor flooring options and indoor ones too.

By the way, there is also carpet material tiles, isn’t that cool? Now I can carpet my room with these. I don’t even need a contractor to do flooring for me. That will save me a fortune, I bet.

Lately, I have been reading a lot of contracts and boy I am bored by it. If the contracts have been written like those myoripped review, I will not fall asleep.

I have been assigned to do a lot of things beyond IT. Yeah, I am doing financial stuff, legal stuff, contractual stuff and what not. It is a good thing because I get lots of exposure. The only problem with this is that I have too much to do.

Anyway at least I still have a job.

With gold prices going up for the last few years, I am sure many have invested in it. I was shopping for a gold bracelet for my cousin as a wedding gift. I was really surprised that cost has gone up so much. Wow, I really need to get an analytical balance to weight the amount of gold to see if it is worth buying.

I read that this balance can provide precise measurement of solids and liquids. Readings can be provided in Grams, Ounces, Pounds, Carats, Troy Ounces, Pennyweight, Grains, Tael or Momme. Isn’t it cool?

Here is a classy ovation guitars. I am sure my friend would love one of these.

Guitars come in many designs and I am sure a guitarist would love it. I just found out that guitars have many types like electric guitars, acoustic guitars, acoustic-electric guitars, mandolins, banjos and resonator guitars. I do wish I can play a music instrument but I can’t. I am a little tone death or I cannot follow the beat. Now I am counting my children to do that.

After hearing so many tips from friends who has or hasn’t been to India, I got worried. First they tell me to avoid drinking any water except bottle water. Next they told me not to take food that is not from reputable restaurant. Next my mom called and asked me to pack some diarrhea medicine. Even my travel agent asked me to pack a few litters of water in my check-in baggage.

I am glad now that I am back. God really protected me from any mishap. Yeap, my God is still in control and he gave me a pleasant trip there.

The water in the hotel was pretty clean, meaning not brownish looking. Yes, there was some funny taste to the tap water. The hotel did provide 2 liters of bottled water every day. On top of that, at my office, they provide ample supply of bottled water for me. I must say, I was oversupplied with treated or mineral water.
Usually at many eatery places, bottled water is served. They are most popular brand is Kinsley from Coca-cola company and Aquafina from Pepsi which we seldom get here. It is pretty decent in Hyderabad. I had no bad experience and I am back without any problem.

I will tell you more once I get my pictures sorted out. For now I need some sleep. Last day of India was pretty tiring for me and I tell you why in the next post.

I am so unfit and I tell you why. Actually I thought I was until I climb on of the India Fort. My colleagues brought me to climb the fort and it has a lot of stairs up to the top. It was more that 100 steps, not that I count every steps. I had trouble as I was going up. Breathless and a little dizzy. I almost fainted due to low sugar. I took out my Mentos roll and start chewing a few of it. It was also due to the heat that made it difficult. Somehow I made it to the top.

I tell you, I will need to go as seek some sports nutrition online and see if I can get some tips on training myself to exercise to stay healthy. I need to do more walking every day. My work projects are not helping me because I usually spend a lot of time looking at my computer and on the phone. I need to start a exercise plan soon!

I am not a coin collector but when I saw the unique US quarters, I started collecting them. Each state has its own pictures. Each picture resembles a history with the state. You can read about its history and understand why that picture is chosen. It is kind of interesting.

By the way, you can do that for your business too. You can designed personalized coins for gifts to your customers or clients. It will be something they will keep. I have received a few of that myself.

I got into playing this additive game called Draw Something. You draw and your friend will guess. You can invite your friend through email, username or Facebook. I started will playing with strangers but more of my FB friends join in.

This is the toughest picture I had to draw, guess what it is?

There are people who do not know the meaning of the game and kept putting up questions for me to guess. One stranger drew a girl with no clue and expected me to know the name of the girl. Hello! There are thousands of artist out there. Another one, typed out the whole song and asked me to guess the singer. I had to call Google for help. Now I will pass those who ask me questions. One person called me an idiot because I passed. Really funny people out there!

Well, now I just stick to playing with friends. It is much more fun. Like once I really played till very late, probably sleepy. I drew “wink” but the word was kangaroo. However my cousin could guess it and she SMS my picture to me. LOL.

If you are looking for a fun app, you should play this. My kids also love to help me draw.

I don’t wear necklace very often because I feel lazy to take them off when I shower. It will be good to own some stainless steel necklaces so that I don’t need to take them off even when I shower. It is stainless steel and would not get rusty easily.

By the way, there are lots of cool and elegant designs. It also comes with little shiny pearls. I like pearls. I like this one here:

Last Dec, we went up to Penang Hill early in the morning. I am glad that not many people and the queue were short. The train came very fast. In fact the operator told us, the new train only takes 5 minutes to go up. Compare to the old one, it is so much better. Adult ticket is RM8 and Child ticket is RM4 for Malaysian. Remember to keep the ticket for return trip, unless you want to hike down.

The view up there is breath taking. We paid RM30 for a buggy to take our family of 4 round the hill. We saw many luxurious bungalows, a broken bridge, lots of trees, plants and a very old postbox dated 1818.

I will definitely go up there again. The air is really fresh!

I bought quite a number of original VCD cartoons for my children to watch on the go especially when we are going for a long drive. VCDs are still cheaper than DVD. In order to watch these VCDs I used thevlc media player download. It is a good player and allowed my children to watch cartoon on my notebook.

Once, we went to KL on a 4 hour bus trip. I kept them busy by watching the VCD. It is very simple, just insert the VCD into the notebook drive and it will start up automatically. They loved watch cartoon! Throughout the journey, I have peace to myself.

Lately I have been working from home most of the time due to night meetings. One of the setbacks of working from home is I hardly walk. When I am in the office, I walk a lot, from meeting rooms to meeting rooms or to the café to get food. I do need to burn extra calories and walking is good for that.

I am sure the calorie burner 643 reviews agree with me. I guess I have to go back to my office more often.

I am surprise that Emily picked up some break dance move. I wonder where she learns that from. She was showing it to me. I am sure she would like me to get her some hip hop clothing to go with her move.

I always wanted her to join these dance classes but I cannot find any good ones here in Penang or near my place. If you hear any, let me know. I am sure my girl would love to join one of these classes.
