Bonsai: Know it or not? It is valuable

Posted by CS

Bonsai ... a ... Bonsai... what is that???.... for people who didn't know much about bonsai like me... it is meaningless when we look at them.

We might not aware how much it worth. For us, it is just like an ordinary plant, just a bit short and complex. What else, special lo. :P

But for bonsai lover, it is totally different, an additional branch of bonzai might make it a difference between good and bad one.

We might not understand why the bonsai lover willing to pay few thousands just to get their ideal bonsai home..

It is the same why they don't understand how can we walk for hours just to do window shopping... right?

Here are some bonsai I able to snap last year.. Good or not? Expensive or now? Beautiful or not?



Sorry.. I yet to able to appreciate them yet. But may be one day.. as I like bonsai but dun know them...

This one is my favourite....

Mail from Google

Posted by CS

I am not trying to show off, but today it is an exciting day for me.. Google send me a MAIL... please... GOOGLE wor.... I knew google will drop me a mail in 3-4 weeks time from my adsense account.



I am so excited when I saw the notes in my adsense account. I went to my mail box (snail mail) everyday to take a look. From day 1 until today. I kept on doing this and expect to see some surprise in the box. But it turned me down.

I lost my mood after 2 weeks... but today... "deng deng"... MY GOOGLE mail come liao... please forgive me, I am not showing off. But I can't hold myself from the excitement and wanted to share with all of you.



I had yet making millions or even hundreds from adsense. But yet I am so excited to get the mail. It is the beginning for me and rewards for the effort I put in.

USD100 still long way from me...... but I will be there sooooooon...

HOREY!!!!!!!!!!!

Tea Set Accessory 1: Tea Container

Posted by CS

halo.... since the good feedbacks on the last post about the tea, seems like a lot of old fashion guy like me out there.... so i will post more on the tea related stuff...

I still remember, I am being influenced by my grandpa about the tea. Tea become part of his life. Every morning, he will get himself a pot of tea and enjoy it before breakfast. He will get himself the same one for the dinner as well. I love to have tea together with him... But he no longer with us...

Initially, I thought the more "thick" the tea, the better it is. But I was wrong... If you keep the tea leave in the water tooo long. The tea become too "think" ("Kao in hokkien"), and it is not good.



So you need to get all the tea out from the pot after couples of minutes. Dun keep it too long within. That's the reason, I get myself a new toy: "Tea Container". I don't know how to call this, may be you can help.



This is the pot I used to keep the tea out from the pot. This will help to maintain the quality of the tea you have.

I will get myself another "toy" soon, which is the tea leave filter. What is that for? Stay tune when I had one.....

Team Building Q1 2008

Posted by CS

It had been a while since I went for another project in other building. And the relationship between me and the teammates doesn't seems close enough. There are few new comers that join our team who I rarely deal with.

The teambuilding is the activities that helps to pull everyone together, chat, play, share, and enjoy. We will get to know each other more.. And me.. I talk a lot. Non-stop one... so most of the time... I talk craps and jokes a lot...

And the teambuidling did serve its purpose this round. We went for the Spice Garden at Tanjung Bunga at the morning. We have our breakfast at a perfect sea view platform in the Spice Gardem who charge us RM5.

Here is the place where we had our nasi lemak and tea. Nice view and feel so relaxing. Having nasi lemak with enjoying the beautiful scenery. But too bad.. the poor photo shooting skill killed it.




After the yummy nasi lemak, we proceed to our spice garden tour without tour guide. The public relation personel did approach us during breakfast and as if we wanted to have tour guide on the garden tour.

Due to previous bad experience on the tropical fruit farm on previous team building, where the tour guide can tell us a 15 min story on durian tree or corn. So we felt very boring. So this round, we turned it down.

So we went to walk around the garden and read the intro about certain herbs and spice written on the notice beside those plants. And it is very boring, but yet very challenging, you need to walk uphill, down hill, cross bridges, ponds, small river, gates... and many more. The air is very fresh and make us so refreshing.

We forgot about our work, calls, timeline, projects updates, weekly report.. almost everything.... We enjoy the garden walk so much.

But we regret about our decision of having NO Tour guide. As without the explanation, we had missed out a lot of hebs or spice which might be very useful under certain condition. I would suggest you to get a tour guide if you plan to pay a visit there.

Here are some photo I shot during the Garden Walk..

After the walk, we went for lunch at G-Hotel. Nothing much to tell about the food. I did only few photo shooting before we start our lunch as I am too hungry to grab all the food. Sorry.... hihi..

Beside this, how I spend this special day? Me a?..... I went for team-building today. We went to Spice Tropical Garden at Tanjung Bunga, then went for buffet at G-hotel and later go for movie...

Lim Teh (Drink Tea)

Posted by CS

I can't denined that I am old fashion guy, I like all kind of traditional stuff. Tea is one of my favourite.

Ya, tea is not only for old folks, but not many youngster like it. What I mean is chinese tea...

But I like it so much, it makes me feel calm. If I have something to think of, or something to decide, I will get myself some tea, while having it, it helps me feel relax and will help to flush out everything stuck in my mind.

And it helps me to think it in a better way and leads to a better decision. But I am not rely on those tea all the time...

But it is a good way for me to relax, after the whole day of heavy works, tired in term of physical and mentally...

I always wanted to have my own tea set, and comfortable table set at the balcony, having a good senery with a cup of tea on ur hand...

Imagine it.... wat a life..... imagine it again... is that amazing?!!

okok.. back to real life........

This is my tea set.... "lao ia" one.....



I am not expert in the tea drinking as well as tea serving. The procedure of serving, type of tea leaves, tea of pot, taste of different tea, and many more I need to learn.

I need to learn the correct way of serving and know how to appreciate those tea rather than "swallow" them into my stomach... wasting them...

I will blog more about the "Lim Teh" stuff here while I am learning on this.. If you are tea lover too, tell me and teach me, we can have some disccusion there.

I can't hear from you

Posted by CS

ya.. i can't hear from anyone... few weeks back i am having difficulty of hearing... ya.. i can't hear clearly from one of my ear, which is the right ear..

I didn't care much about it until.. i about to hear nothing..

I went for a doctor checkout on last Wednesday and doctor found something stuck inside my ear and will eventually blocking my ear from hearing anymore....

She is using a tool to look into my ear.. I dun know what is that called at first.. after check on the internet.. it is called "Otoscope"...

She told me she will give me some medicine to drop into my ear for 3 days, and ask me to come back to do the ear cleansing...

The medicine I drop into my ear make me totally hear nothing; make me even suffer... but after a while it become better.... The medicine she gave is intented to soften something that blocking my ear..

After 3 days, i went back for the ear cleansing.... U can't imagine how it felt. The doctor is pumping some kind of liquid into my ear... flusing out everything that is blocking it....

Imagine again... there is liquid pumping into ur ear... and flushing out everything inside...

When I told this to one of my friend, he asked me if flush in one of the ear and flush out from the other one.. like what we saw in the cartoon.... :(

and it is not funny.... After cleansing both of my ear, I feel much more better on my hearing....

But I feel something wrong again.... my hearing improve too much... and i can hear all the rubbing sound crispy clear... I mean too clear until irritating... I can't hold it anymore.. I can't concentrate on anything now..... I can even heard the air flow from my nose while I take my breath. Can you imagine that?

It become worse when there is wind blowing on those plastic bag.... OMG.... I can't take it..... I believe I had get used to the previous condition. Now it is much too clear for me....

Now, I used the tissue to cover my ear to protect it from those irritating sound.. I heard from my boss, she said there is some one commit suicide because of this....

I think I better go to see doctor before I get mad and start to kill someonee... specially who is making noice around my office...
