Tag: My Desktop View

Just got tagged by Slavemum who wanted a peek on what my desktop view is. Honestly mine is really boring. My background is just a wallpapar I got from Deviantart.com. I wanted to put pictures like many other parents but I guess I found it hard to find the time to do it as my desktop is filled with so many icons. I guess you will find me awkward too as I am also one of those whom put my taskbar on the left side of the screen, instead of being at the bottom, I found it much less of a hassle as it is a widescreen. I also needed to have the calender and reminder up too so that I can remember all the important dates and the bills due dates too.

**************** START COPY ****************

My Desktop Free View Instruction:

A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by:

2. Open a graphics program (e.g. Picture Manager, Paint, Photoshop) and do a Paste (Ctrl +V).
3. If you wish, you can 'edit' the image before saving it.

B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons - things like that.

Tag: Shopping Tips

Wen would like to know a man's shopping tips. Well, sadly I have none :P bcoz I rarely shops, just kidding. Gosh, am I lucky to be the one whom is responsible comparing prices.

.~ Start copy ~

It’s very simple. When you receive this tag, copy the whole list and add your own shopping tip to the bottom and pass it on.

1. Wear comfy clothing when you’re shopping. You don’t wanna fuss with too many laces and buttons when you’re trying clothes on. http://rinnah-marketplace.blogspot.com
2. Choose stores offering some kind of reward program, e.g. purchase points, rebates or store coupons. Knowing how the program works and when to use them will save you a lot of money in the long run. http://kakishopping.giddytigers.com
3. Always ask for a discount or bargain, especially when you pay cash for big purchase like furniture and electrical items, you will be surprised how much lesser you have to pay. http://leahschrader.com
4. Buy in bulk or from the hypermarket. Hypermarket like Giant and Tesco has greater offer than places like Jusco or Parkson. (I’m referring to household stuffs) http://montessorimum.com
5. Think again if it does really makes any different without having that, and if no, it means you don’t really need to spend on that. http://www.demoments.net
6. Wear comfortable shoes when going for shopping spree. Closed toes and high heels won’t give you the joy of shopping. If possible, wear sneakers or sandals like Birkenstock. ) http://littlepaces.com
7. Make sure to jot down the prices of the stuff that you normally buy. Browse thru all the leaflets of promotions whenever you find them and scan for the stuffs you needed because sometimes they offer stuffs cheaper than the big players. This would save you time and energy running between retailers around to compare prices.http://tutiger.blogspot.com/

Tag: Four Me

This is the first time I am doing a TAG. Got tagged by duckie
Duckie, I am really sorry to take so long to do this TAG. (Can you imagine he had tagged me on the 25 July!) My sincerest apologies because I really do not know what to do with TAGs :P

Four jobs I have had in my life: (I never wanted to do this because I have never felt that there is anything eventful about it)

1. Clerk: (Penang) My first full time job. During the bullish market and then all the stocks are in papers and was involved with the starting of the computerizing of the stock exchange delivery and CDS.
   
2. Sales Representative: (Penang) Actually I got started as a recond photostat machine salesman for a very short time and immediately got another position in a MNC marketing their food products. Great place to work got involved in many functions and travel. I got to learn how to cook too. Every month I have to travel to KL for our meetings.
   
3. Trade Marketing Representative: (KL)This is another sort of an upgrade job for me but this company is part of the one selling those sin stuff but we were never forced to consume it. This company was a really great place to work, especially when you have many great bosses. Sadly many chose to leave the company, as the company is consolidating and they decided to leave despite getting promotions after the take over.
   
4. Current job: (KL)Making drinks in a restaurant. Just a fatman behind the counter making drinks. Very boring job but get to spend time online without having to fear that the boss would yell at me because I am a 20% partner (Sadly that is the proportion of share in the restaurant that I have!)
   

Four of my favourite foods: (I am stuck again, I can easily name you what I dislike!)

1. Shabu-shabu : Although I hate the boss but I really like having a shabu-shabu meal, especially those tasty Angus Beef or Kobe Beef. I really missed the organic Udon, Kimchi, squid nuggets and Beef Tendon Balls. But the ones I misses most are the staffs!!!
   
2. JD Baby Back Ribs : by TGI Friday but not available locally la coz not halal ma :P
   
3. Yam Rice : Yup anything that would go along with it, like Bak Kut Teh or Mixed Pork Soup.
4. Hainanese Chicken Rice : Got to have those original ones since I have a Hainanese wife (Elaine is pure Hainanese like her father (from Johor) and mother (from Tampin) because their parents were from the same town in Hainan!!! The town that is famous for Chicken Rice!)

Four Countries I have been to on vacation:

1. Singapore: My first time going over the border by myself
   
2. Thailand: Used to go there with my mum when I was a kid. I rode Elaine there, we rented a motorbike and ride over, just to have some Thai fried rice, which was really great. She misses it till today :)
   
3. Hongkong: Went there a couple of times and twice with Elaine's family.
   
4. USA (East Coast): The best experience we have was renting a car and driving from Cincinati, OH to Boston, MA then Manhattan, NY. Can you imagine that we were staying in Brooklyn, NY and was preparing to take the subway to go up the twin towers when 9-11 happened!!!!
   

Four places I would rather be right now:
Not I am in the restaurant sitting in front of my laptop with many more side works waiting to be done:

1. Spending time with Elaine and Keith at home.
2. Going back to the nice motel we stayed at Syracuse, NY.
3. Back in Penang having some chatty hours with my buddies, of course Elaine got to be there to chat with their wives too :D
4. Going back to college, I wish to further in my education!

I dun think I wanna pass this since I did this after such an extended period!
