By the time this is published, Aukland has just celebrated the end of 2013!! ;) Writing this entry this year maybe is slightly easier than other years as I look back the entire 2013 probably one (maybe 2) thing happened that dominated my 2013, the year of the Snake. The year this dude came into the World... Something is fishy... Wooot? Enter the Parenthood. You can imagine all you want, read all you can, listen everything possible. Nothing is going to be able to describe "that feeling" when you heard his first cry, in my case shout!. His first movement. His first feed. My first feed. His everything... In fact he is going to be our everything for the time being... Not forgetting... :) She has been wonderful, marvelous, tremendous, extraordinary and perfect mum from the beginning, even before he was born ;) Browsing through my picture collection, found some previously unpublished pictures to loosely reminds me next time when I read this

Alrite... It has been many years that I have that privilege call "time" to drive out on a "senyap Sunyi" (quiet and lonely) street of London to take some nice peaceful shots of the London Eye... 2012 2011 2010 NOT ANYMORE!!! And definitely never Senyap anymore and definitely not Sunyi ;) (find the baby;) Anyway, had a great Christmas party yesterday thanks to Wynn and Ken and hope we can organize the next Christmas gathering next year with our kid running around :) P/S: Did we forget to take a group picture?

(Source: http://gallifreyan.tumblr.com/image/36143314933  (this is a fake img fyi...and has nothing to do with Warners)) Believe it or not, I only started watching FRIENDS (the sitcom) when I first came to London, 2 years after the last episode has been broadcasted and 12 years from it's first! But since then, I have to admit that I have watched it so many times, over and over again until I can recall what that episode is all about just by watching the first minute of that episode :) This is of course thanks to E4 in the UK had it played from 8pm everynight before they stop renewing their license :) And it all makes sense to me why some of my friends in college behave certain ways and how they said certain words then, like the popular word "eeeewwwwwww...." or relation status = "complicated"... I am a big fan of this show now and obviously when I first heard of a Friends Reunion (movie or season doesn't matter), I am as excited as Ross when he

Updated with the latest price... http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-cheapest-place-to-buy-apples.html Obviously... USA! :) Normally I wouldn't track the price of a Mac PRO but because of it's price tag and the fact that it looks good/ weird/ innovative/ pretentious/ like rubbish bin, let's have a look at where to buy this at the lowest price. However, price compared are without any sales tax. So depending on where you are, maybe MALAYSIA is still the place to buy all your Apple products :) And chances are, you won't see this in store. Of course, the weight starts from 5kg (11 pounds) and not sure if it's cover under Mobile internation warranty :) I have to say, max it out at 10 grand is not even close to how much I've spent on ALL computing hardwares since my first ever VGA monitor computer...

Updated pricing on this link... http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/apple-ipad-air-ipad-mini-with-retina.html A community service as an Apple fan :) If we use USD as the base price, you will be surprise that you might be paying as high as 49% more (Apple TV in Germany) compare to the price in the US. So if you are by any chance travelling to let's say Malaysia, find yourself a bargain :) Prices are correct as of 14th OCT 2013 with the exchange rate obtained via Google.

Have been really abandoning this blog for sometime, which is no good. And if I don't start writing something, there will be ONE additional excuse for me not to write in the future. So, let's kickstart with a couple of short blog to kickstart the habit again. Old habit dies hard! :) Ok... These little fellas... I've grown up with quite a number of kids around me when I was young. But never had so much recollection of them compare to these 3. And with the help of digital photography, I've probably have so many pictures of the kids which I don't actually own :) And probably at certain stage in their growing life, they might look back and ask their mommy and daddy, "... why is uncle Wong take so many of my pictures???..." This year, all Three of them turn 3! And if I have the time to look back at all my life in London, probably half of it (at this stage) is all about them, before and after they are born. And sincerely from Uncle Wong, Happy Birthday

I wonder what this is... :)

Please... Please... Please... Tolong... Tolong... Tolong... Toh Looooog la.... Have we not learned anything since the day we call ourselves Malaysian? Are we in such total denial that we have to stood this low to fight among ourselves? If the Israelis & Palestinians fought for a piece of holy land, are we really want to fight for a WORD??? Does anyone who "owns" the word ALLAH means he is more Muslim than the rest? And does Muslim's teaching is just about ONE WORD? Come on lah! Come on lah! Come on lah! I can only pose questions as I do not have any "academic" answers to the above. But if I may predict the next 10 years if this "fight" continues, Malaysia will become the next "Gaza Strip" and no one is going to benefit at all out of this, INCLUDING ALLAH. Yah Allah... Oh My God... Links to some disturbing news... http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/perkasa-threatens-to-pull-support-for-mca-mic-over

Not the best way to start work on the first day of 2013 isn't? I have to say though, it's not as scary as it was just 2 years ago because of the constant backup that I have been doing and more things are moving to the "Cloud". But still!!!! Grrrrrrrr.......... Happy 2013!
