Welcome 2009 with dinner at thepans

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009. We welcomed the new year with my family over for dinner. As usual, my dear wife would cook up a feast and this time its no exception. We had pasta, thick mushroom soup, grilled prawns and ended off with donuts which was the only thing she did not make.

I hope 2009 will be a year where deeper relationships will be built. Relationships with family, friends, colleagues, old friends, church mates and God too for sure.

I won’t be doing the resolutions thing or give some milestone report on life at this point, so just enjoy the photos.

This is my first picture from the Canon 450D. Pearl took it while i was in the queue of Terminal 2’s Swenson.

As you can see i’m very focused here in this picture as i’m always like that when i’m concentrating… Working a skateboarding game in my daughter’s pink NDSL. woot! DS rocks!

Got my wife a real expensive Christmas present this year. Its the Canon 450D DSLR camera.

In some way, it sounds more like a present for myself, but honestly thats not true. She have been looking at DSLR cameras when ever we pass by a camera counter. She have also been asking me which is better. So i went to do my homework and asked a few friends who own DSLR for advise and settled with the 450D. One of the reason is also she used to have an EOS 1000F (yes those that uses film) another reason is also she is used to Canon’s user interface.

I honestly prefer the normal point and shoot cameras that you can fit in your pocket, but for DSLRs its so huge it needs its own bag.

Anyway, i hope she will like it.

Pleasing Everyone

Can we truly please everyone? The simple answer is no. So the next question would be… so who should we please? or… should we even bother to please anyone?

I believe that there are people in our lives that matter and there are others who we might not need to worry about so much. The key is to know who they are and what to do to them.
