Last day of 1st month...

Sun 31 Jan 2010

Yup, it's the last day of this first month of this new year, 1020! Fast flying month, huh? To me, looking back, time really flew...64 years flew! Just like in the blink of an eye! So what is one more month?

Me...a pessimist? Many have called me that. However, I've been trying & learning to look more onto the positive aspect of things in Life. Slowly but steadily...that day will come...

And yup, 1 day that me am looking forward to is Feb 5th. Why? That's the day our "Kay Pa" will be giving us our "angpow" for this CNY! Yup, our pension payment for Feb will be in advance. Many many days in advance! Good? Right. But for the pessimist in me, it means a long, long month before the next payment in March...the 19th. The optimist in me would say that that is still 2 days earlier than the usual date! And yup, pensions are normally paid on the 21st of the month! See? It's a matter of perspective. Ha ha!

Anyway, a more positive view would be the fact that the time that has passed would be bringing us closer to Feb 14th...CNY! Which also means that we would be meeting friends & relatives that we had not seen for at least a year...maybe even more! Lots to share then. Happy times.

An update here on my good friend & former colleague, Mr L...if me not wrong, he should have been discharged from hospital after completing the first course of the chemo prescribed by his haematologist. He would be having 3 weeks of rest before the next course. We sincerely wish him all the very best, good rest & a speedy recovery!

Finally, yesterday was another COD (Chef's Off Day) and so as not to bore you, it was the usual meals out kinda thing. Except that this time for dinner, our "boss" suggested a new location. A new coffee shop. Well, food was reasonably good. Tasty. However, most of the ppl serving in the shop were not of the friendly kind. Pity.

Cine Nite was the movie "The Treasure Hunter". Lots of special effects. Not so good colour. Ok kind of entertainment. We had to have a few intermissions, though. Kind of breaking the monotony at times during the show.

Well, Sunday today would be another day...another bonus day! Life for these 2 ole inmates of Lot 10 has been peaceful & tranquil. And we have God to thank for that...

UPDATE @2:45pm :

A very noisy start to our Sunday...supposedly a day of rest?

Our RHS neighbour's house alarm has been sounding practically non-stop since our (late) breakfast time! Less than 1 min break between abt 10 mins alarm siren! 11 times at last count. 12 now!!! Phew!

There should be a way to complain to local authorities about such matters (eg disturbing the peace? ) cos house alarms are so commonly installed these days. Moreover, there are so many "chapalang" makes in the market...many unreliable ones!
