Last month of the year...

Fri 031210

Yup, it's now the last month of the year, 2010! Fast, huh? And yup, time does fly...as the saying goes...

Well, last month ie November, was a truly hectic month for both inmates of Lot 10. So full of events...both good & not-so-good ones. As always, good memories are for cherishing and bad ones are best forgotten...

This month has started well and hopefully, it would end well, too.

For starters, our niece, KP, & her hubby were blessed with the arrival of their first baby...a boy!! On the morning of 1st Dec itself...weighing in at 3+kg! Congrats to both Michael & KP !!

Next came our Kay Pa's "gift" for the new year 2011! Yup, a special allowance of RM500 each for all civil servants including Retirees!! TQ! TQ! TQ!

November was a long, long month as the previous pension payment was made very early (9th Nov) and the next payment would be only on 17th Dec. So this special "gift" was kinda well-timed and very welcomed! Haha!

As is, me am toying with the idea of upgrading our Astro SD reception to an HD-capable one, namely what is now known as Astro B'yond. However, there are a few issues that need to be ironed out before that move can be made. The main one being how we can still enjoy the transmissions on every single TV that we have in Lot 10! A facility that we have been enjoying all these years...not an easy one to just "surrender" without a fight!

A better option, at the moment, is to "sacrifice" the very few HD channels which are now only available and to keep on enjoying the pleasures of enjoying all our popular channels/shows wherever we may be in Lot 10!

PEACE.

ps. BTW Blu-ray discs collection in Lot 10 has been steadily increasing since the day a Panasonic Blu-ray player was added to its "arsenal"! To date, there is a library of 14 titles, with the latest additions being Mission Impossible II & III.
