Back Yard Band Concert!

At night not only we are entertained by displays of fireworks our cousins and relative made live gig bands/concert just behind our grandma house with open invitation to all villagers to come and enjoy the show. It lasts till almost 5am in the morning. Not everyone was asleep. The concert sounds echos in the house however i manage to sleep through next morning feel refresh! Those audience however didn't manage to go back home but sleep on the floor, shed or the living room instead. Luckily they are no stranger to us as they are part of our relative and friends. Cans of beers all around..ouch.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year! Early in the morning we go to church for proper festive blessing for the day and when we get back to grandma house its already full of friends, relative and villages neighbours. Unlike our urban style celebration here in this remote village people from various cultures, races, religion and beliefs come to celebrate as one share our celebration, happiness and enjoyment for this Chinese New Year festival. Don't be suprise both my father and mother relative have huge mixture of cultures, races, religion and beliefs that make other felt the gap of different is huge as seen from their eyes but in our heart they are actually very close as family. I also have chances to visit other relative around Limbang too. The crowds come in and out in endless from 8am till 4pm. Cakes, muffin, snacks, rice, noodles, bbq chicken, meat, veges, shirmps, cola, oranges, beers and etc all on the tables. I always hang around the kitchen too see if i can get some nice munchies and some cooking in progress. Wow! the make fried shrimps!!

Holiday trip here we go

Its Chinese New Year holidays! Once again its time to get back to my Grandma village to reunite and celebrate with relative. Its a long drive from Miri city to Limbang where we have to drive through Brunei border in transit towards my grandma hometown. Thankfully unlike last year this month weather is very hot and sunny. Good visibility and safe to drive through the highways. It took us hours to reach the destination. After 3 hours later we reached to my grandma house, she was happy to see us. To house full of joy with lots of crowds of relative getting ready to celebrate our Chinese New Year Celebration. I'm also greeted by special old trusty tail waging friend too, lol.

Chinese New Year.

On the eve of chinese new year i don't feel very well as i'm down with flu.. 50% mostly stay back on bed for a rest. Throughout the day and night i could hear lots of crowd going in and out exchange greetings while at night our cousin organized a mini gig concert outside our grandma house compund. Friend, relative and neighbout comes to join in the festive event wich lasts overnight till 4am. On 1st day i was 80% ok able to move around with minimal flu effect. Me and the whole family went visiting our nearby relative and reunion. Its was quite a feast with foods, drinks, chatting and laughter. Were very delighted to meet them after year of absence from the festive scene especially me. Dumplings, cakes, biscuits, assorments of jerky, muchies and sweets was serve, i had my eye on everything chocolates, sweets, cheese and cuttlefish snacks. Was good for my stomach. Always keep the plate empty which is worth a day full of goodies. On the second day i'm 90% ok from flu, have to say farewell to my grandmother and cousins as i had to go home back to my hometown, i think my holidays was all food stuff well at least i get to meet my buddy the cat. As usual i never return empty handed from Limbang, got me cool r/c gadget from cool r/c stores, visit some restaurant, driving around places on my car around the Limbang and Brunei and took plenty of camera shots of Limbang scenery. That's worth it.

**Yawn** tour de meeting..zz..zz

Its going to be busy week from now on. From today onwards till end of this month me and my web development team will be doing touring around our group companies conducting meetings, staff training and stuff on our newly develop LAN system. Its going to be busy week. My boss gonna tag along monitoring our progress. Gonna missed my office desktop. Hope i have time on my side project.

Evening walk

I reached home after work at 5.30pm..damn i felt tired just because staring at the PC screen staticly all day in the office and listen to the same music soundtrack on my PSP really dimmed my mind and dried my eyes. Man i better get a new music uploaded to my PSP soon. 30 minutes quick nap and then woke up to turn on my PC,
"pop!" ...!! a small sharp sound and burning smell all over the places under my feed, i've checked the switched and plug, troubleshooted and manage to find out that all fused electrical plug was almost at toasted state with terrible indicator of outer plastic case melt below the fuse capsule inside. I decided to drive all the way to the mall and grab me a new set of power extension and plugs to power my workstation..that will be after a bath and family dinner at 7pm. At 7.30pm i drive all the way to the Mall and grab a 5 slots in a row extension cord to power up my PC and external devices with much better surge and electrical burning protection at a cost of burning some notes in my pocket...i think its worth it. Chinese New Year celebration is still at large around here so people still in a mood during festive seasons. I also saw they already started some booth selling Valentine gift for upcoming Valentine day.. i did grab a few nice gift just to cheer up some unknown special ones. Hey there nothing wrong giving someone a special gift. Get ready on the 14th February.

Rainy day...a windows of time

My mother arrange a plan for today holidays to go out for family and friends Chinese New Year festival visiting today. But its raining today and it doesn't looks like its going to stop until evening. The cold wind blew into my room and the heavy rain drops keeps on pouncing on the zinc roof making you feel wanna continue setback and take a good cold nap. Anyways i'm not going to get back for a morning nap again. Btw the rain give me a great opportunity putting a big windows of time for me to continue work on my models, today suppose to detach the surface and relink broken vertices to create smooth vertex shading/rendering thus duplicating half right side of the object. This going to be a long process since i',m dealing with enourmous 3d object in the scene. Hopefully before me and family out for Chinese New Year visits this will be done sooner.....i think i like christmas better..missed those present.
