Every year, for any working adults from the age of 18 till 45 (i think) are looking forward to 2 events whether they like it or not and whether they are in whichever country. 1. Budget. Listening to so call the Financial expects telling us about the deficits, incomes from taxes and how they have used our money to run the country. Smokers will be anxious waiting to find out how much the coming year will affect their pocket every month. Motorist will find out how much more the government is going to suck our hard earned money in the pretext of reducing deficit for the future. And of course, the 2nd event most anticipated by any working adults; 2. WWDC (source: Engaget.com) To some, he is a god. And to many he is probably the best ever "boss" which we have ever seen before, probably none to others.  Oh yeah... Steve Jobs.  Another year, another WWDC and another iPhone! I'm not going to eleborate much about this over-hyped event of the year and probably  whe

I think what I wanted to say today has been clearly transpired by this wonderful note once being the song of the year and has made so many people think, it's probably just right to do just this...

Oh yeah... Hot sun. Dry weather. On a Saturday and some people are free. What else to do? And somehow we have done it for the past 3 years ;) 2008 2009 2010 Every year also chicken wings and delicious satay ;) Notice the new addition at the top right side? ;) Welcome to BBQ 2010 Sophea Ooi... And oh, my S40 still works!

Do you like your job? Are you complaining everyday about it? Do you feel like changing your career? Why don't we ask him why is he doing this? ;)

If Suet Ling is reading this, I'm sure how glad are we that Mei Li came to Europe and she said YES! ;) To start talking about David Tan, I am not sure where to start. But if I was asked since when we knew each other, oh man... has it been 15/16 years already?? Oh man... Anyway, glad you guys came and visit us and of course you came to London/Europe a single man and on top of those LV and Prada you are bringing back, you went home with a WIFE! :) Both Lin W & I wish you all the best in planning your wonderful wedding and don't forget to come to Europe/London again for your honeymoon ya ;)

Nick Clegg & David Cameron (Source:bbc.co.uk) This is utterly rubbish! Absolutely disgrace! And I sense a tat of cheating! We don't care! We want our vote back! Come on! When you croxx the ballot paper last Thursday, clearly in your mind you will think that if I cross the red party and if they win, I will expect Mr Brown to govern. Blue for Mr Cameron and Yellow for Mr Clegg. During the TV debate, they swear to god not to agree on each other's policies. They were convincing you with their policies so that you will vote that party. And when you have decided which policy you prefer, then you vote! And why should we accept such coalition (result) when clearly what we've believed in when we vote doesn't come out to be what you have told us! Simply say. We invested certain amount of money in let's say Volvo to build Volvo cars. We were told before that thru TV debate that they will build Volvo cars. Blardy hell, who knows after manufacturing, it came out a V

Who else is not talking about them tonight? source: Dailymail.co.uk Good or bad, let face it. They have brought some good changes to the UK. As David Cameron said, "...the last decade, the Labour government has made Britain more open at home, and more compassionate abroad...". Personally, all I can remember about them is 1) the war in Afgan, Iraq. 2) More tax, tax and tax. 3) Oh dam Gordon, have you ever thought of why the banks "really" failed? Anyway, let's hope for the best for Mr Cameron and his team and hope he & his team is not another blardy Tory ;) Source: dailymail.co.uk

Just type general election in any search engine, probably the first results you'll get is the on going UK general election. And indeed it's such an eye opener for me at least, to experience such event. Politician being politician, they have their way to spin it to their advantage. And answering questions without actually answering it are part of their daily ritual. Between substance, voting for change and "real" change, these are the keywords being used by the 3 main parties, Labour, Conservertive and the Liberal Democrats. Quite sure the 3 leaders are not really in talking terms, but at least they acted professionally when they have to :) Campaigning with a positive attitude. Life debate on TV were a great addition this election. And if I can loosely say, their ads are really creative too!

After months of planning, hundreds of emails and some wonderful blunders, welcome to London David Tan! Let's start with some pictures first until you return back to London in a couple of weeks time...

Another one taken fr my iPhone. Sent from my heart. Posted via email from DeZemBer's PhotoLog

I remember my college assignments, notes and sometimes "pictures" are stored in one of these what we loosely called as "disk". 1.44MB in one disk and when you insert it in the disk drives, you press your ears near to it and hear if it's spinning ;) And after a few semesters, that disk start to "collect dust" and mold appears. Then we use a disk cleaner to clean it and hey... sometimes it doesn't work! Now, most computer doesn't even comes with a disk drives and the USB drive you have probably is a min of 2GB. That's 2000times the size of a standard 3.5inch floppy disk like this!!! And today, (not sure what took it so long) the remaining serious manufacturer are calling it  a day and will stop producing these memorable and iconic Floppy Diskettes :) Salute!

Oh Spring. The best time of the year, apparently. Flowers blooming. Sun shinning. And what else to do but start taking some flowery pictures? :)

At the 7th miles of the race, these are some of the familiar looks for the Virgin 2010 London Marathon;

There are 2 types of pictures that I always see on FB, blog or any other social networking site. One, is those who switch their phone to the photo mode, stretch their arm as far as possible and smile... And I always realise that most of these are taken in the car!! ;) And of course, the second one is FOOD!!! Here is one which I find it quite nice and was contented to be blessed with a very nice and filling lunch ;)

Chai Chuan... The one on the far left. And me. The one on the far right. But gosh... I feel really bad that I can't remember the rest of the dudes! We had some wonderful time together during college days. They thought me how to speak mandarin, not that I've learned much :) These bunch thought me which mandarin singers to listen to. And not that I will listen singers other than Jacky Cheung. And I still remember, my very first cheese cake! Yah... I made cheese cakes then. Actually learned from Chai Chuan's wife. So, anyone can help me to name and locate the rest of the gang??? Thx! And please don't laugh. I normally don't stand like that when I take pics ;) dam kayu man...

How often have we surf the net, click with no sense of purpose and direction and suddenly some tune appear and your smiles is so sweet come directly from your heart? And this is the tune... 遙遠的她   Anyone else has the same feeling? ;)

To quote from one of TVB series I never regret watching ;) 巾幗梟雄 , there's this now famously catch phrase; "... 人生有幾多個十年..." I was reading back some of my old blogs and realized, hey... my first blog entry was exactly 5 years ago! ( link ). Coupled with my sudden urge to migrate out from Xanga (I'll save it on my next blog on why), hence this will be my last post in Xanga and my very first post in Blogger. The official address is http://15de z ember.blogspot.com (notice the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ). Again, let's save another post on my this address ;) Back to  "... 人生有幾多個十年...", yup... looking back for the past 5 years I took a very strange move to start blogging and probably blogging wasn't even in the dictionary then ;) But when I read back on some of my posts, really appreciate what I've written, in My Blog, My Thoughts, My Stories... Will definitely like to write more often and hope to incorporate my photos portfolio in here as well. So stay tu
