This blog post continues from my previous post on December 26th 2009 (Effect of Economy Downturn???). Few days ago I’ve visited Sushi King in Section 14, PJ with a few friends; lately I’ve been craving for salmon sushi until I totally forgotten about my last experience with Sushi King. As I browse through the menu, Una Don attracted my attention and I thought maybe I can give it a try again and see if it’s the same thing that would be served to me.
I was quite surprised to see a full bowl of rice with the usual 4 pieces of Unagi being brought up to me. Portion is the same as it used to but this time probably the chef who prepared it forgot to put enough Unagi sauce. It was pretty dry but I’m still very much happy because the portion is just nice. It was being served in a bowl which was very much “deeper” than the one in MidValley. I usually would patron the Sushi King outlet on the top floor of MidValley. Looks like I should just stick to the top floor outlet rather than the one below.

Netbook Temptation...
Chinese New Year is around the corner and I’ve just gotten my bonus last month. It isn’t much but I’ve been thinking that I should spend myself something nice after deducting off the savings portion. After all, I did not shop for new cloths or anything for this New Year anyway. And…I’ve got to make full use of the entitlement for the income tax rebate. (well you can come out with ALL sorts of reason when you know you want something no matter how...hahaha..)
I’ve always been looking out for a netbook but I just can’t accept the idea of spending off a chunk of my "already-not-enough-savings". It’s been tempting me on and off until last week my boss told me that I would be given a company laptop. Then I can sell off my old school Toshiba and get a netbook for secondary use. It felt like as if the netbook in Lowyat Plaza is screaming at me begging me to bring her home. Hahaha.
With my months of research over the available netbooks in the market, initially I was hooked to the ASUS N10J which technically to some people, is not exactly categorized as a netbook but it’s the best spec-ed 10’ laptop for me. Unfortunately the hefty price tag turns me off. So off I go looking for other alternatives.
I’ve now filtered my selection to either the Lenovo S10 or the HP Mini 1000. The difference between both of them is that the S10 has better spec whereas the HP Mini emphasizes on design and usability. Seeing how thin the HP Mini is as well as its big keyboard really made me drool. Not forgetting the funky pattern embedded on its lid.
Now the final question. “Should I? or Should I not?” -_-"

Back Again from Mars...
Again I went off to Mars and now return home. Haha. The end of 2008 was pretty good for me and definitely a VERY busy one as well. Went on a trip to Pulau Langkawi with a bunch of old schoolmates and managed to refrained myself from getting drunk. Got myself tanned up and I’m now suffering from the skin-peeling effect even after 2 weeks.
2009 was pretty busy too as I started off the beginning of the year with 2 wedding dinners to attend and now I’m back to my daily routine work but a MUCH busier one. Having great colleagues who you could work together very well is really a blessing. The Superwoman of my office has gone off on a 2 weeks leave and I have to make sure everything runs smoothly while taking over her work.
For the first time in my entirely life, I’m putting down my New Year resolutions in black and white form. I’m not going to put too much stress to myself though.
I need to be certified by this year regardless of certification.
I will be more patients with my colleagues.
I will put in more effort at work and show significant contribution.
I will lose more weight! (5kg by the end of the year, hopefully 10kg…haha)
I will expand my source of income. (Still under planning)
So…we shall we how would I score at the end of the year.
Since Chinese New Year is around the corner. I would also like to wish all fellow Chinese Gong Xi Fa Chai, safe trip to whomever who travels during the holiday and have a great year ahead.
