Just watched this movie. Not a bad story, love the special effects. I remember how I used to play this game on the computer decades ago! Gee who would have guessed that someday it would be turned into a movie like this?

Speaking of computer games, I have not been playing any since ages ago. Just too busy with work and all I felt like doing once I get home is just to relax and spend a bit of time with my little girl.

My wife often tells me how in some countries, one could actually save a couple of hundreds or more from the grocery bill each month with the clever use of home everything coupons. She told me how some people actually carry a folder of coupons each time they went grocery shopping. She saw it on an episode of Oprah.

We both agree that the coupon system where we are is nothing like that of the other country. Here we do not get many useful coupons at all. If any, it’s ones like pay 3 nights get 1 night free at a hotel. Grocery coupons? Hmm forget it, there is hardly any.

I guess it’s high time I mow the lawn. Believe it or not, our lawn hasn’t been mowed since the beginning of Autumn, that’s like 3 months ago. No the grass didn’t grow very high because it kinda withers during winter.

It’s just that so much had taken place in the time leading up to Autumn that since it was already Winter, I just let it be.

But now that the weather is warming up, the grass will be growing tall. Got to mow it before it becomes an eyesore around the block.

For some reason I no longer just wear a t-shirt and jeans on mufti days anymore. I go for a casual shirt and jeans instead. Does this have to do with age, I wonder? Anyway, looking at the fashion available in the market today, would I be too old to shirts from the coogi clothing line? Bet my workmates would be the first to laugh if I wear anything that does not quite look right for my age and fatherly figure. Hmmm.

Oh to be young again – that’s right, it’s not just women who’d wish to turn back the clock. I do too at times.

I can’t wait for my overseas shopping and eating trip with my girls.

It’s finally coming to an end. Already the weather looks much better and a wee bit warmer with mostly sunny days compared to the wet and cold months previously.

Too bad we will miss one whole month of Spring. Well, can’t have the best of both at the same time.

My wife thinks I need the sun and some workout. Hmm if only I have the time on weekdays. Weekends are spent with the family.

Thanks to my colleagues, I now have a blue ipod which I can’t live without during my travel to & fro work. However, it didn’t come with a case but that is alright, I plan to buy a cool ipod case at my overseas trip soon.

They also gave me a pair of ipod earplugs which is great of course. Now I just need an ipod dock to complete the set *LOL*. Like always, I would need to read up on ipod reviews before I make a purchase for the docking station.

Now I think my wife would want an ipod soon as she is on the road to changing her lifestyle to a more active one.
