First post of the year

First post of the year.

Will be climbing KK in May. Will post more on that.

Saturday

What did I do ? Hmmm..
Well got up early, when for 9 holes of golf and was back by 11 plus.
Currently trying to fill up my mp3 player so that when I travel tomorrow I have
something to listen to as the ipod is with Philo.

Ripping CDs, very Old ones. Like Jimi Hendrix, G&R and the Police. As I listen
to the songs pretty cool. The blast from the past. As always when I listen to a song I remember that year and what I was doing.
Philo finds that strange that a music or song triggers a memory recall for me.
Well that's just me.

Can't find my Pearl Jam CDs : ( Hmmm.... must have put it some where.

Price of Petrol goes up tomorrow but it has its effects

Just received an SMS that it will go up by 20 cents.
But the shitty part about this is that everything else will go up after that.

WAG the Dog ?

Just wondering with all the stuff happening. BERSIH and now Hindraf.
I wonder if Hindraf is just ploy to make people forget about issues that
BERSIH brought up.

As this, gives reason for the powers that be to ban all public protest. No memorandum was given. Is the government trying to distract the public before elections ?
Could be... Hmmm....

Reasons for Blogging

I started to blog because I wanted to keep an account for my
children's time on occasions, memories and things they had done. But it didn't turn out that way. I have not been regular but it is like once a year...
Anyways, I'm still thinking about whether to be a regular as this is not the first thing which comes to mind after work etc. After staring at a computer all day do I want to do this ? Hmm....

Reading blogs

Actually I'm quite a blog reader. There are a few blogs I read.
But on the other hand I don't blog that much.

Does that make me a blog stalker ?

Hmmm.....

It will be one year for Ryan

Happy Birthday Ryan
Now is the 20th of September 12:58AM
Just one year ago we had this beautiful addition.

Work

I'm usually very reserved and don't share my feelings but today at a company dinner I shared comments with another's functions boss about a peer of mine.
Not good but it was in hopes that it would help the teams I'm working with. Improve the peers workings with his staff.

The expression of the boss I was speaking too didn't seem to take it well from the facial expressions.

The questions should I have said anything...
Hmm..... will have to wait and see.

Haven't Blog for a Year

I haven't Blog for a while about 1 year...
