For the first time, I wrote this blog in a hospital. My mom in law was in a hospital. Having a whole room for her seem to help her a little bit on stress.

Anyway, I did some thinking about

My Blog

1. MKL was doing a blog roundup for year 2009 and I think that’s cool! To check and balance and plan ahead for the New Year is what we need even in blogging.
2. I may need to reroute my blogging direction, maybe write sex story (Kidding Mmmkay). I find it funny to categorize some of my posts as “about me” I thought that way would explain who the hell I am? Do I need an “About Me” page? Who the hell cares? Do you? hahahaha
3. I need to redo my Blogrolling, the one that MKL do is fantastic! He slaps my handsome face on his blogroll and I feel good! I hope more girls message me their contacts
4. I update my blog lesser than I use to, I simply couldn’t manage myself. I left home @7.30am and reach home by 8pm daily. I respect Speedycat @Hollydale for 2 reasons. One, he is triple busy than me but he wrote 1 post a day without fail! Two, he still manage to visit my blog and comment on it without fail! I love you man! I wish you were a girl! I would make you my girlfriend! No? hahahaha
5. I am thinking to do mobile phones review next year. I am not sure why most people would just come up to me and ask me about phone. I guess they trust my judgments. So I’ll try to do it next year.
6. I like to thank my best friends for sticking with me through up and down this year. Thank you for helping me to get through my darkest year! Thank you for your constant encouragement Speedycat, Daisy, and Kim.

My life

1. 2009 has been a difficult year for me. I’ve lost my 6 years job in a bank and I think it probably the best thing that ever happen in my life. The stress is beautifully excruciating!
2. Here’s interesting part, I taught my sis and my mom how to do insulin injection! I have always been phobia with needle but being an elder’s in the family, I have no choice. (Thought to post the video but need some time to edit)
3. I learn how to read glucose level as well, again I just need to perform a fast needle poking and measure the blood on a meter, which is easy!
4. I am now well verse with hospital. I seem to know more about the hospital than banking line already!
5. Makes me think, I should be a doctor! All the beautiful nurses will be my girl friend.
6. I felt sick more often this year compare to my whole life records. I use to be very strong but this year my body aching so bad that I have to see western doctor and a Chinese physician.
7. So I learn that, stress, upset of losing job, some one sick in the family can make a healthy individual become physically sick as well.
8. I ask more questions about health to Silvy more than a server related problem this year. My big thank you to you XOXO hug hug.
9. I have attended at least 4 weddings and a baby full moon dinner this year! My friends ask me when would be my turn? I think that’s another stressful question.
10. I don’t think I am expressing myself very well here but I think the important thing in my life is like what Steve Jobs said, connecting the dots! I hope what I have done for the pass 10 years would eventually shape my destiny.

I attended a Canon EOS DSLR workshop on July 23. Checking this month DCM magazine so happy to see my photo attending the workshop was on the magazine! Feeling so honored and I think I learn at least some photography tips although more practices needed.

I meet a professional photographer on the net yesterday and his name is Bert Stephani from Belgium. A great guy, loving, polite, generous and above all passionate about his work. He responded to my tweet while he is preparing his 2 sons for joining Special Forces!

“Bert, you are the best! I like your work its brilliant and i wish i have those skills”

Am interested to buy Canon L Lens 70-200mm below.
