There's always a saying the red clouds means that there will be rain later on. How true is that??

I love it when the sky is red and there's lots of clouds in the sky. As a child, I always stare at the clouds and imagine any image that I can form. Is it a bear, horse, or an angel?

SALE

Yes, we are on a mission to cover as many stores as possible with the word S.A.L.E on!!! (Just kidding)

We had been wanting to buy certain IT books and thought it might be worth visiting the Galloway & Porter warehouse sale. Definitely worth the trip. We bought 12 books for ..............................£18!!!!!

I had been searching for a guide on creating webpage and had bought the Creating Web Page Bible at £1!!! Hopefully, I can learn some tips to improve my blog.

We know these books are not the latest version but we just want to know the basis, thus they are good enough for us.

Guess now my problem is finding space to store these big and bulky books.

你是我最深爱的人

爱上了一个人 能够为她牺牲
就算付出了生命 我甘心为了你
两个人在一起 分享爱的命运
永远都不会忘记 我们生活点滴

你是我最深爱的女人
你有最美丽的嘴唇
你拥有最动人的眼神
你带给我幸福和快乐
我是你最深爱的男人
我的爱绝对是永恒
做什么都值得 爱上了一个人

Top Gear

Must buy!! Top Gear magazine Sept issue includes Cool Wall Fridge Magnets. The magnet also come with the 3 presenters' pictures and you can decide which wall they are on. Cool!!!

2 cars that I would love to own and are now on our sub-zero wall are Volkswagan Beetle and Toyota Aygo.

Digital camera

Had been looking around for another digital camera cos my old one was unable to record sound in movie mode, only 2 megapixel and it's not as compact enough.....

After searching around and with the help of this survey, I set my mind on Panasonic FX8. So happy and thought I can go and have a look at the shop on high street this weekend and perhap buy it for the coming trip to Yorkshire in late August.

But NO!!!! Panasonic FX9 (see picture below) is coming out in late August which is the improved version of FX8!! Why late August.... now what??

To buy FX8 and later regret when everyone is saying how great FX9 is!!!
To wait for FX9 to be out in late August and not be able to take any short movies??
To buy other camera??
(sign).... got to start all over again....



Extracts from dcviews :-

Panasonic is introducing the incoming LUMIX model DMC-FX9, which is the next-generation model of the world-renowned stylish and compact MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)-equipped FX series. The FX series boasts high picture quality, a large LCD, compactness and stylish design, features desired in a compact camera. Its startup time accelerated, the DMC-FX9 is now with substantially upgraded with total effective pixels increased to 6-Megapixel, and includes the zoom function Extra Optical Zoom that extends zoom ratio up to 4.1x in 3-Megapixel recording and a clearer LCD based on the FX8 that was released earlier. The increase in effective pixels to the large as 6-Megapixel produces impressive, precisely detailed images. The highly commended 2.5-inch large LCD now provides much more clarity, by increasing its resolution to 207K pixels. Also, a total of 14 scene modes including 2 new modes allow all users to enjoy taking high quality pictures more easily and more comfortably. The FX9 is available in silver, black and red colors, each with a specially textured coating pleasing to the touch. The DMC-FX9 is a notch above model than the alluringly stylish and yet ultimate compact FX8 with all the favored Panasonic advantages, that is to say, a best-in-class blue chip.

Driving update

It's been more than a month since I passed my driving test and last Sunday was the first time I drove alone (without Sam), driving Sam to and from work. Not as scary as I thought it would be!!

I had drove to Cambourne office today and will drive to St Neots from tomorrow onwards for 2 weeks. Hope that the day will come when I look back at this blog entry and think that my driving has improve and driving is not scary.

Poppy seed

Am I too ignorant or??? While searching on the internet as to how to convert foreign driving licence in Singapore, I learnt that poppy seed shouldn't be brought into singapore?? Poppy Seed!!! I love poppy seed crackers, bread....

After some searching, I realised that eating foods with poppy seeds (e.g. bagels, muffins) can cause someone to fail a routine corporate drug test!!! Uh-Oh....

One of the news I found was that Marks & Spencer was forced to pull poppy-seed crackers out of Singapore. Poppy seeds contain traces of opiates, and that's bad in Singapore so out it goes.

Got to make sure I eat what I like before heading back Singapore...(sign)

Next sale

Been searching on the Internet to look for info as to when is Next summer sale. Found the answer in The Answerbank.

It's starts from this coming Saturday. Not sure if we are going there at 5am cos we are dinning out with my colleagues the night before. Might be just too tired but on the other hand, we can always come back to sleep after the shopping. See how lor..

Sweetest melons

Bought 5 melons at 78 pences each from Tesco but realised that I was charged 98 pences each. I know it's not a lot of money but I felt cheated.

No queue at customer service counter so I went ahead and told the assistant that I was overcharged. It turns out that the promotion ended on 16/07/05 but they had not revise the price on display.

The price of the 5 melon (total 4.90 pounds) was refunded to me and I can keep the melons!!! Tesco policy...... You bet I will be shopping at Tesco more.
