Happy New Year 2008!!

Bye bye to 2007....And Welcome, 2008!! Happy New Year, everybody!!

A New Year...hopefully, a better year...

2007 ended well for Lot 10 OFH cos it received unexpected visitors! Yup, my son & fmly came visiting...unannounced! Both were happy to see our 2 other grandkids...J & Jan. Haven't seen them for quite some time. J is in Std 3 this year while Jan is going to her first kindy. Tks, EJ, for still remembering us...

2008 has brought MORE dust...our house is now forever covered with a layer of fine dust! If mopped, it would be no different just an hour or so later. I practically have given up maintaining a dust-free floor! Now me would do so just for the exercise...haha!

The cause of all the dust? You got it! Same ole on-going construction opposite our place...till October 2009! The pace of construction has quickened...see present scenario now...below :

Lot 10 is getting ready for CNY 2008...the year of the Rat! A small step. New lanterns were kindly donated by EJ during his recent visit...the old ones were already 2 years old and faded badly.
Don't think Lot 10 would be changed much with escalating costs of most items everywhere. Moreover, our little "piggy" is more full of air than what should be in it. Like my other half said recently...

think of those who do NOT even have a mattress to sleep
on....

The "wise" one has spoken. How true...

Nothing much has happened since my last entry. Have been a good boy. Rber...No petrol how to move? Hehe...

Moreover, our ole junk needs a major ops. Replacement of its timing belt & water pump. Kinda overdue now according to advice by most ppl & in car forums. So far so good. Plan to get it done on Jan 7th when me am free again to "sign"...hehe... Thank God for such little things in life as a credit card! Has kept me going all this while. Really a "Never leave home without it" item. Use it wisely & it does help you get thru life...independently. Just don't sign yr life away... haha!

Well, the new year is just starting...let's be positive abt what we have to face & go thru. May yours be as good as if not better than what me am hoping for mine & ours!

Happy New Year!!
