Ya... I change job AGAIN!!!
It seems that after working in a big company, I have difficulties adapting to a small company working environment. So after much consideration (& job hunting) I finally found another position. Hahaha. I must say that I am quite lucky in the sense that I never have much problem finding job. And so, I've start my new job last week! Yeah!!! Good luck to me:)

My Confession : Ben Stein
Someone recently send me an email about something Ben Stein wrote. I find it very correct & meanfully. Please read & consider.
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.Are you laughing?Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
My Best Regards.
Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein

Recently I signed up for facebook after much persuasion from my friends. Tried signing up from my office but failed. So finally, one fine day, I finally signed up at home. Hehehe
Then I tried signing in from my office computer and I can sign in!!! Huh.. Weird that I cannot sign up from my office yet I can sign in... Don't care... As long as I can use it in office I will not complain!! Heheheehehe
Boy do I understand why some company block facebook on their internet network. It is VERY addictive. Especially if you have friends that are always online. I was playing scissor paper stone with a friend and having water fights with others. At the same time, I was also biting, fighting with friends vampire, werewolfs, zombies and slayers. Hahahaha. Of course, there are also gifts to exchanges, notes to write & hugs, cuddles, poke to do to friends. So fun. But its a bit messy. So it take some getting use to the format of facebook.
Yeah well, so I have no idea whether I will continue updating blog during my office hour. Think I will be in facebook more often than not during office hour. Hahahahah
Byebye... Facebook here I come

Health
To all my friends, family, colleagues, etc :
Please take care of your health.
I went to visit a friend of mine at the hospital yesterday evening. She just went for an operation yesterday morning. Thank goodness everything went well & she will be discharge tomorrow to recover at home.
Another friend of mine also just went for a scan yesterday morning. Luckily for her, the report came back as healthy. Scare me only. Coz one just went for operation!! They have similar symptom but I dare not tell her. I don't want to give my friend additional worry.
Last words: Please go for yearly check up if you can afford it. (Claim from company would be the best Hahahaha)

Cats' Day Out
I went to stay overnight at my sister home yesterday as she needs to bring her two 'four legged monsters' to the vet today.
As I never went to the vet with them before, I do not know what kind of experience it will be. Would it be a hassle to trick them into their carrier & will they give us problem like when my sister bath them? (One of them will usually hide til she thought we have given up to bath her)
In the end, it turn out to be joke. My sister has three carrier. A big one where it can carry both cats, a bag that can carry the smaller cat & a medium size carrier. My sister decided that we are to use the bag as well as the medium size carrier as it will be easier for both of us. So she brought out the medium carrier, opened the door & left it in the living room. Then she bring the bag to the kitchen with the smaller cat, Soilei. She then uses cat treats to trick her into the bag. Very easy with minimum fuss. Except when she finishes her treat & realised that she cannot get out of the bag. Then she started meowing. Rather surprising as she is the quiet one.
After capturing Soilei, we went to the living room, with the intention of luring the bigger cat, Lune, to the carrier. Well, curiousity kills the cat. She saw the carrier opened & went to check out what it was. Hahahahahaha No fuss, no problem. My sister immediately close the door & kept her in the carrier. So funny. But she immediately started meowing when she saw the door being close. I can't stop laughing at that. Poor girl. At least her sister gotten treats.
