My Aunt came from LA to visit us and it was a long time since i last saw her. It is also her first time seeing both our kids… so you can imagine how long it has been. Anyway, its so nice to see her again.
Nemo on Ice
We brought the kids to Disney on Ice – Finding Nemo. Other then it being expensive, the experience was quite interesting.
The show totally captivated our kids and they were trying to see what was happening. If you saw the movie, you will be able to tell that the whole performance is the same as the movie, but just with people with ice skates on trying to be like fishes.
The costumes were way cool and the set and props are really awesome. Would i recommend anyone to go see it? nope. But just for the kids, then maybe.
my Black Apple
After my pc crashed in mid January i’ve been checking my emails using my webmail, resizing images with GIMP from my office laptop. Its quite tough not having a machine to work with… its even tougher not having a machine at all.
I have already decided long ago that i will no longer buy a desktop for personal use as we are now in the wireless age. However… Mac or PC, Black or White?… the decision was easy i have to say, but suppressing myself from proceeding was tough. I kept telling myself that i don’t need a laptop as i can just use my office one, i tell myself i should not spend this kinda money, i told myself i can do without it, i told myself i don’t have time for it, i told myself i’ve got to spend alot more just on software… i told myself to preserver, i told myself alot of things… i was constantly in a daze…
I gave up after 2 months… i succumbed… now i tell myself another set of stories. Lame stories.
…
The truth. I invested in myself. And i’m now a happy man. Time now to save up for software.
CNY 2007
Chinese New Year have always been the most stressful time of the year without a doubt. Anyway, I tried to enjoy myself where possible.

CSS Workshop with Russ Weakley
Russ Weakley came to Singapore to conduct a CSS workshop and its thanks to PebbleRoad for organising such an event. Who is Russ Weakley? Well he is the one behind Max Design, the one behind the high qualilty list of light-reading list which i subscribe to.
As Aussie as Russ is, his Aussie humor really gave the workshop an informal its-ok-to-laugh-at-yourself feel to the whole day. It was totally enjoyable.
The entire session was amazing as Russ drilled down so many facts and clarified several i-thought-i-knew-but-was-not-100%-sure kind of doubts.
As many have muddled their way thru trail and error, figuring out css problems along the way, not many people had formal training in CSS. But after today, it felt like the little cracks have been filled up, it felt like it was official training.
